Chapter 65 - Goodbyes and starting over

The sound of my hysteric laughter was resounding through the night. I swung my baseball bat through the air and blood splashed from the body, spraying a near wall. Then another lifeless corpse collapsed on the ground, surrounded by ten others. I stood there, my eyes suddenly wide with horror and tears gathering in them.  

Another week passed and today I returned in to Mystic Falls. The only reason for me actually coming back was because I got bored of New Orleans and I also heard something very interesting from Elena. She send me about fifty texts with information about what was happening here. Most of all was stuff that I didn't care about, like their prom and how badass she is for stealing Caroline's dress, but between that there was still something useful. Apparently Bonnie was working on raising some kind of vail or something like that, that will allow the supernatural creatures that died to come back.  

Katherine told me that it was possible for it to happen tonight.  

The first tear slowly fell down my cheek, quickly followed by another one. I slowly looked around the dark street. The moon on top of me was shining on the puddles of blood and the corpses. Strong wind was blowing and it was a really cold night.  

The next second I already buried my face in to my hands, crying and sobbing at loud.  

I knew that I won't be able to continue like this. Soon, I'll just completely loose it. Soon I'll be damaged beyond repair. Even now I already felt like a ghost walking around, the only thing that I felt were pain, sadness and rage. I killed more people in the previous two weeks that I did in the last year. All because of his death.  

I never even realize how important my best friend was to me. Maybe it was just the fact that another person that I cared about died. I wished I could be stronger. But the truth was that I just felt so alone. Like I had no one. Alone.  

That was when I felt how someone hugged me from behind and my eyes slowly widened with surprise.  

'' Come on, you know that I don't like to see you cry, sweetheart. ''  

I was completely in shock. That voice... How was it possible? Have I actually gone completly crazy and even imagined things? Or did Bonnie actually...?  

I instantly turned around and hugged me, burying my face in to his chest, still crying. '' You... You died. You left me. You left me all alone... '' 

Kol showed me one of his famous smirks. '' You know that I would never leave a friend like you. They were the ones that killed me... I will have my revenge... But first I wanted to see how you're doing, love. ''  

'' I... You died... '' I sobbed again. '' And it was also his fault... ''  

'' It's not like you to cry, '' Kol continued and caressed my hair. '' You know that you're stronger than that... Promise me that you'll find a way to live without me... Even if I know that you'll never forget the way I was always prettier than you. ''  

I giggled and slowly wiped the tears from my face with the sleeve of my shirt. '' S-Suddenly I don't know why I missed you so much... ''  

'' You know that I'm joking... No, actually I'm not, but really, what I wanted to say was that... '' He stared at me with his dark eyes and smiled. '' Don't you follow me on the other side, Alice. I don't want to see you there, at least not for another century. Vampires like you are rare... You need to stay here. There are people that need you. My brother needs you. ''  

I flinched and my eyes widened. Then I got serious again and shook my head. '' I left him. ''  

'' That was a mistake, '' Kol said. '' You know that without him... And me of course... '' I rolled my eyes at that. '' You have no one to keep you from loosing it. ''
