I go home with Damon to keep an eye on him, don't want him to go on a killing spree, again.
"I'm sorry she said what?" I snap into my phone. Caroline repeated what Kelly told her and I sneer.
"Forget about her Caroline, Matt loves you, doesn't matter what Kelly says" I say and she thanks me before cutting the call. "Trouble at home?" Damon asks as he stands to pour himself a drink
. "Ugh you have no idea" I say with a groan and flop down on the couch, covering my face with my arm. "Are you really this stupid?" Damon asks and I frown and look to see Alaric with a stake in his hand.
I sit up and tense when Damon turns. "Guess so" He says taking a sip from his drink before shoving Alaric with such force he flies across the room.
"Alaric!" I yell when he lands near the fireplace. He gets up quickly and gets in position. "You gonna put down the stake?" Damon asks, when Alaric doesn't he says "Wow that's courage"
"Where's isobel?" Alaric demands. "What have you done with my wife?" Damon takes small strides over making me jump in my seat.
"You want me to tell you I killed her? Would that make you happy? Because I think you know what happened"
"Damon..." I warn as I stand up, putting a hand on his chest to stop his pace. "I saw you feeding on her" Damon gets closer and I struggle to hold him back.
"Damon" I say with a low growl. "Yeah, I did and I wasn't lying. She was delicious" Damon says and then shoved me to the side as Alaric charges at him. Son of a bitch!
He hits him hard making him stagger and fall. "Alaric!" I yell in panic and rush to his side. "Oh come on. What do you think happened? Not an inkling? Never considered the possibility? I turned her" Damon admits freely.
My eyes widen in shock and I look at Alaric who looks at Damon with a strained face. "Why?"
"She came to me, all pathetic. Looking for vampires. There was something about her, something I liked, something special" Damon confesses.
"You turned her because you liked her?" Alaric asks, his voice strained, "No, I slept with her because I liked her" Damon jokes, I hope.
"I turned, she begged me to. Yeah but you knew that too, didn't you? I guess she wasn't happy at home. Wasn't happy with her life in general, wasn't happy with you" With those words Alaric charges at him, I grab him to try to stop him but he eases out of my grasp and attacks Damon.
"No!" When I hear flesh cut I clamp a hand to my mouth. "Oh this is a shame, we're kindred spirits abandoned by the women we love unrequited love sucks" Damon says as he pulls the stake from Alaric's chest.
He gasps in pain. "sounds like I hit a lung. Which means I get to sit here and watch you die" Damon tells him as he drops him and his body falls to the ground.
"Alaric!" I scream and scramble to his side. Damon retrieves his glass of liquor and sits down letting me panic.
"No, no, no!" I mutter and feel tears start to fall as Alaric struggles for breath, in a couple of seconds he'll die. I put my hand over the wound and press hard, trying to keep the air out.
"No! Please!" I beg as His eyes freeze and when they do I let the gates flood. I yell at Damon
"What the fuck is wrong with you! He's innocent!"
"He tried to kill me!" He argues as I get up and get my phone to call Stefan. He doesn't answer so I leave him a message.
"What happened? What did you do?" Stefan yells upon entering and he rushes to my side where I sit crossed legged with Alaric's body. Tears dried on my face,
"Dude what? What he attacked me" Stefan inspects him and when he realizes he's dead glares at Damon. "Damon"
"What? All I did was tell him the truth. His wife didn't want him anymore. Not my fault he couldn't handle it"
"Like you've been handling Katherine" I sneer.
"I'm handling it fine. You know what Isabell came to me. She found me and if she's related to Elena that means she's related to Katherine maybe Katherine sent her to me"
You have got to be fucking kidding me.
"stop it you don't have to keep looking" Stefan yells. " Can't be a coincidence Isobel sought me out"
"of course it can be,Damon if Katherine wanted to see you, she would long ago" I point out. He ignores what I say and puts down his cup
"I'm assuming you'll take care of this" he says to Stefan as he gets up and leaves. Stefan and I sit in silence wallowing in pain, Alaric Salzman was dead, another victim to Damon's mission.
For second I see Alaric's fingers twitch and Stefan sees this two and we both lean in, curious. When Alaric gasps and sits up, I almost scream but I bite my tongue and scramble backwards.
"What happened?" Alaric asks with labored breaths. "What's going on?"
"You we're just.." I stopped being unable to find words, he was dead. "Did Damon turn you? Stefan asks.
"No- I went for him and he ugh stabbed me'' Alaric clarifies. "No, no you must have vampire blood in your system, somebody slipped it to you" Stefan counters.
"No, it's Uh something else'' Alaric argues "Then how?" I ask, confused. Alaric frowns and holds his hand up, looking down at his finger.
"Isobel" he looks up at us "This ring protects me" He explains.
Stefan almost collapses.
"That's impossible"
"I know"
