DONT FORGET TO LIKE AND COMMENT GUYS. I WILL VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT
•Richmond, Virginia 1795•
The carriage took us to Richmond, Virginia. I don't know why Katherine would want to move here out of all the places, but I really didn't have a say. The only thing I got out of all of this was the ownership of the house. Something about keep out unwelcome vampires, I don't know, I wasn't really listening when Katherine and Pearl were explaining everything. Anna and I got along very well. My guess it was because of how close in age we were, metaphorically speaking. Pearl was almost another mother to me. She watched out for me. Katherine, on the other hand, hadn't talk to me that much lately. Only a few sentences.
Suddenly I heard a knock at the door and I quickly went to the door. No one else was here, except me. The vampires had gone out to enjoy their feedings, leaving me all alone. I opened the door and smiled at the person, who happened to be an elderly woman. "Yes?" I asked kindly.
The woman smiled, "Dear, do you happen to have any lighting fluid? I perhaps have ran out." She explained as she held up her lantern.
I nodded, "I very much so happen to have some. Please come in." I told her and turn my back away from her. In seconds I was slammed against the wall. "What in the hell?" I screamed.
"You failed the first task, Julia." I heard Katherine behind me as she grabbed my arm and twisted it, making me cry out in pain. "Fail again, dear, and that will be the last of it." She snapped as she let me go.
I turned around in seconds, but she was already gone. Pearl and Anna were the only ones in front of me. "What in Gods name happened to her?"
Pearl sighed and placed her hand on her head, "Juliana, the houses ownership was given to you because you are a human. With you as the owner, only you can invite other vampires."
My eyes widened, "Katherine did not tell me that! If I would have-"
"You would have what?" Katherine interrupted as she came back down the stairs, and I could feel her eyes burning a hole through me. "No wonder you are alone, when I found you. You are weak, and no one wants something like you."
I gasped, it was almost like she had slapped me across the face. My eyes started to water, before I darted up the stairs to my room, where I cried for hours.
•Mystic Falls, Present Day•
I woke up early before anyone else, and decided to go to the Salvatore's house. There, I found Damon boarding up the window with a piece of wood, probably because of the rain that we had received early this morning. Stefan stood in front of the fireplace, and Elena was right by his side. I smirked and looked over at Damon, "How's the window going?"
"What do you want, Julia?" Stefan asked me.
I pretend to think about it for a second, "Hmm, not much really."
Damon looked over at me, "Who was the idiot that came here yesterday?"
I rolled my eyes, "He's already been dealt with, Damon."
Elena glared at me, "I can't believe you made a deal with her." She hissed, nodding towards me.
"It was more like a helpful exchange of information." Damon continued.
I chuckled and sat down on the couch, "It was not like you had a choice. I happen to be, oh what's the word, oh yes, scary at times." I answered for him.
"Besides, she's gonna help me get Katherine back." Damon added before sitting down next to me.
I raised an eyebrow, "That's unless I kill her first."
"Of course she is." Elena started and I looked over at her, and saw the same fire I saw in Katherine over almost three hundred years ago. "Damon gets what he wants, as usual. No matter who he hurts in the process."
"No need to be snarky about it."
She faced him, and went towards him. "I woke up this morning to learn that all the vampires have been released from the tomb. I've earned snarky." Elena snapped.
I smirked, "You have that same fire she does." I added, but she only glared at me.
Damon sighed, "How long are you going to blame me for turning your birth mother into a vampire?"
I looked over at him confused, as Elena crossed her arms. "I'm not blaming you, Damon." She paused. "I've accepted the fact that you're a self-severing psychopath with no redeeming qualities."
Damon pretend to be hurt, "Ouch."
I stood up from the couch, "What about your birth mother? Do you know where she is at?" I asked her.
Elena sighed and shook her head, "No, I don't. Why?"
I crossed my arms, "Your Katherine's ancestor, and so is your mother. Katherine has wanted to know about her family for a long time, Elena. So there is a slight chance your mother knows Katherine." I answered.
Stefan finally cut in, "This isn't being very productive. We're gonna figure out a way to deal with Pearl and the vampires. Yeah?"
Damon glared at the two and stood up and left the room, without saying a word.
I shook my head, and spoke up. "I can't let you do that." I told them.
"And why not? They are going to kill this whole town." Elena snapped.
"Because if you kill them all, I will have no one to keep me in control, Elena. Pearl and the rest of them are the only ones." I explained to them. I took a step forward toward Stefan. "We're alike, Stefan. Your a ripper, so am I, except I'm worst."
He rolled his eyes, "You haven't seen me."
I sighed, "Stefan, I tear everything out of them. I rip off their head, I rip their skin off, and I rip their organs out. Trust me." I paused. "We can get rid of the ones I know we can't trust, but you can trust Pearl and Anna."
"What about me?" Elena asked.
"Your going to stay away from this, and keep yourself safe." I informed.
"What-" She started, but Stefan cut her off.
"No, she's right." Stefan looked up at me. "You tell us which ones to get rid of, and Damon and I will deal with them while you watch her."
I nodded, "I can do that." I looked down at my watch Anna gave me. "I need to go back to the house, but I'll be back before dark. Until then, don't go outside, Elena." I demanded before speeding out of the house.
~
About an hour later, I arrived at Elena's house, soaked from the rain. I quick knocked on the door, and Elena opened the door. She sighed, "Come in." I smiled as I stepped in the house. "I can't believe your babysitting me." She said to me as she closed the door.
I chuckled, "Get use to it sweetheart. I might being doing more of this."
Elena looked at me confused, "What do you mean?"
I sighed and continued to walk though the house and noticed no one else was here. "Knowing Katherine, she wants you dead, but I don't want that. I actually want to protect you, and when I get the chance, kill that bitch."
Elena still looked confused, "Wasn't she your best friend?"
I glared at her, "She turned me into a monster, Elena, and I suddenly starting to realize it."
Elena was about to ask me another question, until her phone went off. She pulled it out of her pocket and denied it. Then there was a knock on the door. She was about to answer it, until I sped over to the door and opened it myself. Suddenly Damon entered the house.
"Your ignoring me." He said as he walked into the house.
"The six missed calls? Sorry. My phone is dead." Elena asked sarcastically.
"Is Stefan here?" Damon asked, and I felt my stomach dropped
"No." Elena answered. "Why? Something wrong?"
"He went out to the woods and didn't come back." Damon said and pulled out his phone. "I can't get him on his phone. I figured he was here with you."
Elena then tried to call him, but I heard it go straight to voicemail. She pulled the phone away, "Its going straight to voicemail. Where could he be?"
"Shit," I whispered. Both of them looked up at me. "It's dark enough for the vampires to be out and about. They most of taken him."
Suddenly Damon sped out of the house, and Elena was about to follow until I grabbed her arm. "I'll show you how to get there."
~
By the time we go there, Damon was already there. He was about to pound on the door, until I ran over to him and grabbed his arm. "I'll go look first, especially because you haven't been invited in."
He nodded and stepped back. I opened the door and noticed how quiet it was. Usually it was loud, because of all of the vampires. "Hello?" I called throughout the house. Suddenly I heard a loud scream echo from the basement. I sped down there and saw Stefan tied up to the ceiling using vervain ropes. He didn't have a shirt on, and I could see blood running down his body.
The first person I saw was Frederick, and I felt my blood boil. "Frederick!" I screamed as I went closer to him. "Are you that stupid? When Pearl comes back, she will rip you into pieces." I paused and felt my fangs enlarge. "That's if I don't do it first." I jumped to attack him until a loud snap echo throughout my ears and I saw blackness.
~
I groaned as I began to wake up, and I found myself tied with vervain ropes just like Stefan. Then I heard someone else cough and I looked over and saw Harper tied up to a chair with wooden stakes in both of his legs. Then I felt someone stab me with a wooden stake. "Ah!" I looked up and saw Frederick. I growled, "I will kill you."
"You know, I never liked you." He shoved another stake into my stomach. "But I think I'll let you live, just so you can suffer the way Katherine wanted you to."
I growled and pulled on the ropes, but they didn't budge. Frederick chuckled and left the room. I continued to pull on the ropes, burning myself in the process. "Juliana. Stop." I heard Harper whisper.
I growled at him, "Do not tell me to stop. I will not be a prisoner again Harper." I pulled once more. "I will not be weak again. Not while she's still out there, laughing at me."
"Thank you." I heard Stefan whisper towards Harper. "For trying to help me."
"They just needed someone to blame. Someone to punish." Harper whispered back and slightly looked up at me. "You are not weak, Juliana. You're stronger than Katherine, and we all know it."
Suddenly we heard the door burst open and I saw Elena and Damon. I growled, and I could heard her heart pulsing, the blood flowing though her veins. Anger filled me, when I saw her face. Now I no longer saw Elena, I saw Katherine. "You bitch!" I screamed, and Katherine stopped. "You left me! You left me when I need you most! You turned me into a monster Katherine! You keep me as your prisoner all my life!"
"Elena...You shouldn't be here-" I heard Stefan whispered. Slowly, I began to realize who it was and who she wasn't.
Damon cut him off, "She was supposed to stay in the car." He went over to Harper and pulled out a stake.
My eyes widen when I realized what he was about to do. "Damon! You kill him, I will tear out every last bone in your body." I yelled.
"Whatever. Let's get you down." Damon said coming over to my ropes.
I shook my head, "No, I'm unstable. I'll wait until the others get here. Get Stefan and leave. Harper and I will stay." I told him, and he obey. He went over to Stefan's ropes and was about to untie them until Stefan spoke up.
"There's vervain on the ropes." Stefan mumbled and Damon let go of the ropes and went over to Stefan.
"Elena, pull that." Damon demanded and she went over and pulled it down. Stefan almost fell to the ground but Damon grabbed him. "All right, lets go. Clothes on." Damon told him then threw him a shirt and left the room.
"Wait." Stefan called out, and stopped him.
"What? Guys, come on. We have to get out of here." Stefan bend over and pulled out a stake from Harper's legs. Harper cried out in pain. "Come on, we gotta go." Damon repeated.
"The other one." Stefan whisper to Elena. She grabbed the second one and pulled it out.
Suddenly she came over to me and pulled out the stake in my stomach. I looked down at her, "Thank you." She nodded before go back to Stefan.
Then all three of them were gone. Suddenly I yanked my ropes down hard enough, and they broke. I fell to ground, but picked myself up. I grabbed a knife and cut off the rest of ropes and cut off Harper's too.
"I'll come back, okay?" He nodded, and I slowly walked out of the cellar and sped out of there and into the woods. Where I smelt blood, and I saw Elena and Stefan. I ran over there and grabbed Stefan's other arm and placed it along my shoulders.
I helped them until we got all the way to Damon's car and helped put him into the car. I got into the back, Elena then got in seconds later. When she went to turn the key, she grabbed wires. "Stefan..."
I looked over and saw Frederick break the glass and dragged Stefan out. I quickly climbed out of the car until Frederick grabbed me and threw me across the woods until I hit hard against a bark. Frederick started punching him over and over, while Stefan tried to fight, but couldn't. He was too weak. Frederick continued to punch him until he couldn't move much. When Stefan tried to stand up, Frederick kicked him in the stomach. Then I saw him grabbed a stick, "This is for Bethanne." Then he stabbed him close to the chest. "And this is for the tomb." I got up and ran over to Frederick and grabbed him by the neck and threw him off of Stefan.
I sped back over to him and grabbed his shirt and pulled him up. I felt my eyes change and my fangs enlarge. Finally, I bit into his neck, and I lost all of my control.
I grabbed his arms and ripped them off. Next I shoved my arm into his chest and pulled out his heart. The only problem was, I wasn't finished. I grabbed his head and shoved my thumbs into his eyes and tore his head off his body. Again, I shoved my hand into his chest and ripped out all of his ribs.
I turned his body around, and dig my fingers into his skin until I grabbed his spine and ripped that out too.
"Stefan, Stefan. No Stefan." I heard Elena beg. "Stefan, please."
"Elena." I called out. She turned around and faced me. Elena gasped when she saw me and the dead body. "Give him blood, that's what he needs." She nodded and faced him, but before she could give him blood. I sped away into the darkness.
~
While walking on the street, I heard a car slam on it breaks. I looked at the car, as they started to honk the horn. I ignored it and sped over to the door. I shoved my though the glass and grabbed the person. I pulled the person, who was a man, out of the car and threw him to the ground.
He quickly scooted back, "Please don't hurt me. I have a family."
My eyes changed and my fangs grew, "I'm sorry, but I'm starving."
I bend over and grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him to his feet.
Then I bit into his neck.
