Emily kept her promise that she had told her sister last night, they would deal with everything in the morning. Even though Elena didn't want to be with Stefan anymore, the sisters were going to help with Vicki. The new vampire was dating Emily's younger brother, so she were going to help as much as she can. Emily needed to protect Jeremy from all the vampire drama as much as she could.
Once Emily pulled up at the Salvatore boarding house, she quickly made her way to the front door with Elena slowly following after her. Emily pulled the large doorbell and waits for someone to come to the door. When the door finally opened, Emily rolled her eyes, of course it was Damon who opens the door. Emily still didn't trust Damon around her siblings, so she stood directly in front of Damon before questioning the older Salvatore, "is Stefan here?"
"Yep," Damon responded.
"Where is he?" Emily questioned in annoyance, she was tired of Damon's games and she only been standing in front of him for less than a minute.
Damon smirked, "and good morning to you, little miss I'm on a mission."
Elena moved out from behind her sister and questioned, "how can you be so arrogant and glib after everything that you've done?"
"And how can you be so brave and stupid to call a vampire arrogant and glib?" Damon questioned right back.
Emily rolled her eyes and pushed Elena back behind her as she stared at the vampire. "Was that a threat, Damon? I wouldn't do that if I were you." Emily taunted. Even if she was scared of Damon, Emily wasn't going to show that to him.
"Where is Stefan?" Elena asked quickly, not wanting her sister to get herself killed by a vampire because of her mouth.
"He upstairs," Damon smirked, "singing The Rain In Spain. Knock yourself out," Damon commented as he made his way out of the boarding house while he stared down at Elena.
Emily rolled her eyes and pulled her sister inside the boarding house before she slammed the door. The two sisters slowly walked through the hallway before the younger sister called out, "Stefan?" Elena tried again when they didn't get a response, "Stefan?"
"Yes," Stefan called out softly from the top of the stairs.
"Where is Vicki?" Elena questioned.
"She's upstairs," Stefan whispered before he made his way down the stairs.
"What happens now?" Elena questioned. "Our brother has the whole town looking for her when she's not missing," Elena added.
"I'm working with her," Stefan explained. "But's going to take time. She's a very volatile and impulsive personality. She's a drug user. I mean, all that's gonna play a part in how she responds to his," he continued.
"So, she's a vampire with issues?" Elena questioned, "what am I supposed to do?" She glanced over at her sister before she continued, "because we're lying to everyone that we care about. What's gonna happen to her?"
"I'm gonna keep her here with me until I know that she's safe," Stefan explained.
Emily let a small sigh pass your her lips, knowing that at least for now, her brother would be safe.
"How long is that?" Vicki questioned as she made her way down the stairs.
Stefan sighed quietly, "we can talk about that later."
"Hey, Vicki. How are you doing?" Elena asked the new vampire softly.
"How am I?" Vicki rolled her eyes. "You're kidding, right?" She huffed.
The two Gilbert sisters and the two vampires moved to the dining room of the Salvatore boarding house, where Stefan made everyone a cup of coffee before he turned to Vicki and explained, "coffee is out friend. It's the caffeine. It circulates through our veins, and it warms our body so we're not so cold to the touch."
Vicki looked at Stefan in confusion as she questioned, "well, what if I wanna drink human blood?"
"You're gonna have to learn how to live with that urge and fight it on a daily basis, one day at a time," Stefan explained.
"Oh God!" Vicki groaned. "Don't start with that whole 12 steps thing. School counselor has been down that road, and it doesn't work for me," she told the older vampire.
"It can work. It's your choice, Vicki," Stefan stated.
"So you've never tasted human blood?" Vicki asked with a smile.
Stefan stayed quiet for a moment before answering carefully, "not in a long time."
"How long?" Vicki questioned.
Stefan glanced over at Elena before he looked down and mumbled, "years and years. I'm not proud of my past behavior."
Vicki sighed and questioned, "does this sketchy feeling ever go away?" She moved her fingers to her temple as she continued, "it's like I have a massive hangover. This daylight thing is a bitch." Vicki suddenly stood up from the table and sighed, "I need more blood. Where's your bathroom? I have to pee." She scrunched up her face and looked over at Stefan, "why do I have to pee? I thought I was dead." Vicki barely paused before she quickly left the room.
It was silent for a moment before Stefan stood up from the table and stated, "I'm gonna go, uh, I'm gonna get her some more. All right. I'll be quick," before he also left the room.
As soon as Stefan was out of the room, Vicki was right back. "False alarm," she called out. "My body's feeling really funky. It's a good funky, but it's weird," she commented. Vicki made her way to the dining room table and picked up her cell phone.
Elena looked at Vicki as she questioned, "who are you calling?"
"Jeremy," Vicki answered simply.
"Vicki, you can't see Jeremy anymore," Elena stated as she stood up from the dining room table.
Vicki rolled her eyes, "oh, come on, don't you start. I'm gonna see whoever I wanna see."
"Vicki, you could hurt him," Emily told the vampire as she tried to help out her sister.
"I would never hurt Jeremy," Vicki stated.
"I know you believe that you would never hurt him, but the blood lust could control you. I think you should learn to control yourself before you saw Jeremy again." Emily told Vicki softly. She wanted to keep the conversation nice and simple. She didn't want Vicki to get angry, that would only end badly.
It seemed like Elena had read her sister's mind, because the younger girl decided to ruin what Emily had planned for everything to go smoothly. "You're gonna have to let Jeremy go now." Elena told Vicki.
"Oh really?" Vicki growled at Elena. "And how long have you been preparing the 'you're not good enough' speech? I'm assuming it predates the whole vampire thing," she commented.
"All I am saying is Jeremy is not getting involved in any of this. I mean it, Vicki," Elena spoke strongly.
"Or what?" Vicki questioned with a sarcastic smile. She stared hard at Elena before pushing her to the wall as she held Elena tightly by her neck.
Emily quickly ran towards Vicki and tried to pry her hands from Elena's neck, but Vicki used her new found strength and pushed Emily towards a wall that was across from her. Emily gasped as she got her breath knocked out of her.
As Emily bent over in pain, all she could do was watch Vicki hold her sister against the wall tightly. "Let's get one thing straight, you perky little bitch," Vicki seethed. "You had my brother whipped for fifteen years. Fifteen years and then you dumped him. When I look at you, that is all I see, just so you know," Vicki told the choking girl.
While Vicki was distracted, Emily slowly pulled herself up from the ground and decided she would try to get Vicki's attention off of Elena and onto her. Emily knew it was stupid and dangerous, but she did it anyway. She kicked the back of Vicki's leg, causing the vampire to turn to Emily in anger. Emily was thankful that Vicki finally had let Elena go from her tight grip, but now Vicki found a new target. Vicki slammed Emily into the wall like she just did with the younger sister and held tightly on her neck. "I'm gonna see Jeremy whenever I want to see Jeremy," Vicki told the green eyed girl, "you can't protect Jeremy from me, Emily. Get in my way and I'll force you to watch me rip your little sister's head off before doing the same to you." Vicki squeezed Emily's neck a little more before dropping her and quickly leaving the Salvatore boarding house.
Emily gasped for breath once Vicki finally let her go. She looked over beside her and saw her sister holding onto her neck. "Are you okay?" Emily asked in worry.
Elena nodded her head before swallowing a few times and helped her sister off the floor. "Why did you do that?" Elena questioned.
Emily shrugged while she tried to catch her breath. "She was hurting you. I'd rather she hurt me than you," she explained. "Are you sure you're okay?" Emily asked her sister one last time as she stared at Elena in worry.
Elena nodded her head with a tearful smile. She wrapped her arms around her sister tightly, needing to know if Emily was okay also. Emily sighed but also wrapped her arms around Elena. What horrible way to start the morning, Emily thought.
Finally, Stefan came back into the room, after it was too late and Vicki was already gone. He moved the two girls outside on the porch where Elena huffed, "she threatened me."
"She's on edge," Stefan explained. "Imagine every sense in your body operating at super speed. I mean, she's uncomfortable in her own skin. And then when you throw in her other issues..." Stefan trailed off.
"How long before it settles?" Elena questioned, "hours? Days? Weeks?"
Stefan shook his head, "there's no rule book."
"Well, how long before you learned to control it?" Elena asked.
"A while," Stefan answered. "But I didn't have anybody helping me. I had to do it on my own," he explained. "The thing is, it's hard to resist certain people, especially when you're new, it's difficult to separate your feelings. Love, lust, anger, desire. It can blur into one urge, hunger," Stefan continued.
"What does that mean?" Elena questioned in confusion.
Emily sighed, realizing what Stefan was saying. "What Stef means is that Jeremy can't see her. She could hurt him without even meaning to."
Stefan nodded his head in agreement as he repeated, "she could hurt him."
"Or worse," Elena mumbled.
"I'm not gonna let anybody get hurt," Stefan promised as he looked directly at Elena.
Elena quickly looked away from Stefan's eyes and looked over at her sister before she spoke, "we need to get going."
"Elena," Stefan pleaded.
"Please, Stefan. There's only so much I can take," Elena stressed before walking towards Emily's car. Emily gave Stefan a small smile before she quickly followed after her sister. She felt bad for Stefan, but she knew her sister, and knew that they would somehow work it out.
Emily made her way into the kitchen with her sister trailing slowly behind. She saw her little brother, Jeremy, on the phone and only got his side of the phone call. "You gotta call me, Vic. I don't get it. What's going on with you? Just... Just call me back," Jeremy pleaded into his cell phone.
Emily sighed, she wished Jeremy would just stop looking for Vicki. She's too dangerous for Jeremy to be around her. Emily gave her brother a small smile as she spoke, "we should all hang out tonight. Just the three of us." When Jeremy looked at her weirdly, she rolled her eyes before explaining, "there's been crazy around here lately, so why not go have so fun? You, me, and Elena." She smirked as she looked at Jeremy, "the school is having a Halloween party tonight."
"Cool. Sure. Sounds uh... sounds fun. Can't wait," Jeremy deadpanned.
As Jeremy started to walk out of the kitchen, Elena called out, "I know you're upset about Vicki. I heard she called Matt. But you can't be with her." Elena explained, "she needs to get better. The best thing you can do for her is to let her go." Emily sighed as she laid her head on the kitchen counter. Of course Elena had to say something make Jeremy mad, she always goes overboard.
"What does that even mean, let her go?" Jeremy questioned as he looked at Elena with frustration written all over his face. "Oh, okay, sure. Since we're such experts on letting people go, right?" Jeremy questioned sarcastically.
Elena looked over at her sister for help, but Emily just shrugged her shoulders light. She wasn't going to get involved in this train wreck of a conversation. Elena dug the hole, she can dig her way out of it. Elena sighed and looked at Jeremy softly, "I know you may not see it, but trust me Jer. It's for the best."
Jeremy made his way closer towards Elena as he spoke, "look, for months after mom and dad died, I felt like crap, like 'nothing really ever mattered' crap. Now all of a sudden, I get these moments and things started to feel just a little bit better, and Vicki was in every single one of 'em. So you may not see it, but trust me. Keeping me away from her is not for the best."
Jeremy stomped out of the room and up to his bedroom once he finished explaining to his sister. Elena sighed and looked at Emily sadly. Emily gave her sister a small reassuring smile as she stated, "don't worry about him, I'll protect him." She looked at Elena with a smirk, "now get ready, we have a Halloween party to get to." Elena chuckled and rolled her eyes but followed after her sister as Emily excitedly made her way up the stairs.
As the sun finally decided to disappear into the night, the Gilbert siblings slowly made their way through the loud crowd of scary and funny costumes that littered the field outside of Mystic Falls High School. Emily headed straight towards the building, where the party really was when Emily suddenly heard someone yelling from behind her. When Emily turned around, she saw Jeremy scare a couple of young children. Emily couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Elena scold their younger brother.
Finally the three siblings made their way up the stairs of Mystic Falls High School where Matt was standing. He smiled and chuckled as he looked at Elena, "you went with last year's costume too, huh?"
"Yeah," Elena nodded her head as she glanced down at her costume. "I didn't know I was coming until a couple of hours ago," she explained.
"Me either," Matt commented before he looked over at Emily. "Hello kitty cat," he smirked.
Emily fake gasped, "my sister is right here, Matthew."
Matt chuckled at his friend before he looked over at Jeremy in confusion, "and you're going as... you?"
Jeremy rolled his eyes before stomping away from the trio. Elena sighed and explained to Matt, "he's not talking to me right now. We got into a fight."
Matt nodded his head, "yeah, I got into it with Vic, too, when she got home. I'm trying not to smother her tonight, but part of me didn't wanna let her out of my sight."
Emily looked at Matt in shock as she questioned, "Vicki's here?"
Matt looked over at Emily weirdly before nodding his head, "yeah, you can't miss her." Matt chuckled, "she's a vampire."
Emily rolled her eyes, of course Vicki would be dressed up as a vampire. Elena suddenly began to look around in worry, "where did Jeremy go?"
"Elena, what's the matter?" Matt questioned in confusion.
Emily looked around the party and couldn't find her brother anywhere. She didn't even realize he had left in the first place. "Sorry, Matty. We have to go!" Emily apologized before pulling Elena through the crowd and began looking for Jeremy.
Emily held Elena's hand tightly, not wanting to let another sibling out of her sight with a new vampire running around the party. The two girls looked everywhere and still couldn't find their brother anymore. Emily pulled her sister to the side where it was quiet, before pulling out of cell phone. She quickly texted Stefan to come find her and Elena.
"Thank God," Emily sighed when she saw Stefan heading straight towards her and Elena only a few minutes later. She noticed Stefan had Vicki in his arms, at least she wasn't with Jeremy.
"What's the matter?" Stefan asked as he glanced between the two sisters.
"We lost sight of Jeremy," Elena sighed.
Emily nodded her head as she spoke, "we looked everywhere. I got worried so I called you."
Before Stefan could say anything, Matt came up to the group and questioned, "what's goin' on?"
"Hey. Uh, everything's fine," Stefan told Matt.
"I told you to quit bothering me," Vicki yelled at Stefan as she pushed his arm off of her.
Emily rolled her eyes, of course Vicki would make a bigger mess of everything. "Don't do this, Vicki," Emily growled.
"Matt, he won't leave me alone," Vicki cried out to her brother.
"You need to back off, man," Matt commanded Stefan.
"Matt, it's... it's okay," Elena tried to tell Matt.
"No, it's not okay," Matt told Elena before he walked closer to Stefan and questioned in anger, "what the hell is your problem?"
"Stefan, she's gone!" Elena yelped before she grabbed Emily's hand and began to run through the crowd as they once again tried to find their brother.
Emily somehow got separated from Elena, but she couldn't worry about that right now. She needed to make sure Jeremy was nowhere near Vicki. Emily looked everywhere in the building before going through the back door, maybe they were back here, it was the only other place that they could have been. As soon as the door closed behind her, Emily heard her brother yell in pain. She quickly looked for some sort of weapon and saw a trash can filled with wooden planks. Emily grabbed one tightly in her small hands before carefully running through the buses until she finally found her brother with Vicki about to bite him. "Vicki! No!" Emily yelled at the vampire.
Vicki pushed Jeremy to the ground before turning her attention to the oldest Gilbert. She stomped over to Emily, but before she could take a bite, Emily quickly swung the wooden plank. But Vicki saw it coming, and threw the plank out of Emily's hands and threw the brunette to the side of the school. Emily gasped in pain when she landed on a pile of trash and more planks. Elena suddenly ran out of the school and hurried to her sister with wide eyes before she carefully helped Emily from the ground.
Vicki was about to rush towards the Gilbert girl, when suddenly Stefan pushed Vicki against one of the school buses. But it didn't last long before Vicki threw Stefan off of her.
"Vicki!" Jeremy yelled. But Vicki quickly used her new vampire speed and left as fast as she could. Stefan looked around for the female vampire but he couldn't find her. He turned to Jeremy and commanded, "go. Get inside." When Jeremy didn't move, Stefan quickly yelled, "go!"
Elena helped Emily from the ground before grabbing Jeremy's hand and running back towards the school. But when Elena opened the door, Vicki came out of nowhere. She pushed Jeremy to the ground and was about to take a bite out of Elena, but Emily thought quickly and pushed her sister out of the way, so Vicki latched onto Emily's neck. Emily tried to hold in the pain but when Vicki took away her fangs before pushing them in farther into Emily's flesh, she couldn't hold it in any longer and yelled out in pain.
But suddenly, Emily didn't feel the pain in her neck anymore. When she looked up, she saw a broken wooden plank thrusted into Vicki's heart. Emily quickly took a step back in shock as she watched Vicki fall to the ground before her skin started to fade into a grey color.
"Vicki!" Jeremy yelled in shock, "Vicki! Vicki! Vicki!" Jeremy tried to move closer to the girl, but Stefan steadily held the young boy back.
Emily got up from the ground with the help of her sister before she turned to Stefan and commanded shakily, "get him out of here."
Stefan stared at the oldest Gilbert for a moment before he nodded his hand and forced Jeremy away from the very dead Vicki Donovan, and back to the party.
Elena slid down onto the floor beside Vicki before she looked up at her sister and mumbled for the second time that day, "why did you move me out of the way?"
Emily held her hand onto her bleeding neck as she stared at her sister with an eyebrow raised. "Isn't it obvious?" She questioned. "I pushed you out of the way because you're my sister and I didn't want you to get hurt."
"But you got hurt!" Elena yelped as she stared at her sister with wide brown eyes.
Emily shrugged her shoulders lightly, opening not to cause more blood to pool out her neck. "I'd rather get hurt then watch you or Jeremy get hurt. I will always take the pain before I let you get hurt, Lena. I will die before I let anything happen to you," she explained strongly.
Elena only silently nodded her head, she knew there was no reason to argue with her sister when Emily would only keep repeating herself. Instead, Elena moved her eyes over to the grey vampire. Emily sighed as she watched her sister before she learned her head against one of the school buses. She was beyond tired with everything that happened tonight and she was beginning to feel weak, but she wasn't going to tell anyone, she had to stay strong.
"You should go. I got this," Damon called out to the two girls once he got closer.
"You did this," Elena growled out as she stood up from the ground, "this is your fault."
"You confuse me for someone with remorse," Damon told Elena as he looked down at the dead vampire.
Elena moved closer to Damon and in anger, she pushed against his shoulders, but all she got was an angry vampire. Elena didn't care, so she tried to slap him but Damon quickly caught her arm. "None of this matters to me," Damon stated, "none of it."
Emily slowly moved her way to Elena and commanded, "stop, Elena."
Elena looked at her sister with anger shining through her eyes as she spoke, "this is all his fault, Emily! It's his fault that you are bleeding and hurting."
Elena's statement must have caught Damon's attention, because he moved his blue eyes hungrily to the side of Emily's bleeding neck. "You need to leave," Damon commanded, "your wounds are bleeding and you need to leave."
Emily didn't want to test the vampire at the moment and she was too tired, so she quickly grabbed Elena's arm and pulled her back into the party to get to her car. The two girls were almost out of the school when Matt suddenly called out from behind them.
"Elena! Emily! Hey, have you seen..." Matt trailed off when he saw that Emily had something red all over her. "Whoa... what happened?" He questioned.
Emily looked down in confusion before her eyes went wide. She had blood trailing down her neck and she had a cut through the middle of her that was also leaking blood. Emily chuckled falsely and rolled her eyes, "some kid came up to me and ruined my outfit with fake blood." Emily looked over at Elena, who was staring at the floor. "I'm going to take Lena home, she's tired," Emily explained to the blonde.
Emily quickly turned around and began to walk away with her sister, when Matt suddenly called out, "I can't find Vicki. She totally bailed on me."
"We don't know where she is," Emily told Matt.
Matt sighed, "is this what I'm in for, a lifetime of worrying about her?"
"I'll meet you in the car," Elena mumbled before quickly walking away. She couldn't hear Matt talk about his sister when she just witnessed Vicki dying.
Emily gave Matt a tiny smile as she spoke softly, "you're doing a good job with her, Matty."
"Yeah, maybe she went home," Matt commented in thought.
"Maybe," Emily mumbled. She was about to walk away but she turned around and pulled Matt into a tight hug, "night, Matty." Even though Emily didn't usually give hugs as said goodbye, she just didn't some type of human contact that wasn't involved in this mess.
As Emily made her way into her car, she saw Elena leaning against the window with tears in her eyes. Emily sighed, even though Elena didn't get hurt, she had to watch Vicki die right in front of her, it would shake anyone to their core. Emily leaned over and squeezed her sisters hand before making her way out of the parking lot and towards the Gilbert house.
Once she pulled up at the Gilbert house, she met her sister around the car before she linked her arm with Elena's as they slowly made their way to the stairs on the porch. Emily was using half her weight to hold herself up as she leaned on her sister, she felt like she was going to pass out soon and she was too weak to be standing in heels. Emily looked up when she got onto the porch and saw Stefan standing by the door. "Where's Jeremy?" Emily questioned.
Stefan pointed with his head as he spoke, "inside."
Emily nodded her head before pulling Elena with her as she made her way upstairs towards Jeremy's bedroom. She slowly opened the door and saw Jeremy sitting on his bed with his knees to his chest as sobbed softly. Emily carefully sat down next to Jeremy and asked, "do you understand what happened tonight?"
"No, Jeremy cried, "I don't understand. I mean, I know what I saw, but... I don't understand."
Emily grabbed Jeremy's hand tightly as she glanced over at Elena, who was standing above her before he turned back to Jeremy and spoke, "she was going to hurt Elena, and she was going to kill me."
"Now she's dead," Jeremy stated tearfully, "Vicki's dead."
Elena moved over and sat next to her sister and spoke with tears streaming down her face, "I'm so sorry, Jer."
Jeremy glanced between his two sisters before his eyes rested on his older sister and stated, "make it stop. It hurts."
Emily's heart broke at her brother's words, she never wanted to feel this way ever again. After watching go through the death of their parents, she didn't think he would be able to go through it again. Emily quickly pulled Jeremy into a tight hug as she promised, "I'll protect you, Jer. You will be okay."
"Why does everybody have to die on me?" Jeremy questioned his sister with tears in his eyes.
"Elena and I aren't going anywhere, Jer. you can always count on us," Emily told her brother before she pulled Elena into the hug, knowing her sister needed the hug just as much as Jeremy did. The only thing Emily could do was hold both of her siblings close to her as they cried. It hurts Emily so much to see the two most important people in her life breakdown.
After a few more minutes, Emily made sure that Jeremy was okay before she and Elena made their way back outside to Stefan. "Are you okay?" Elena questioned Stefan as soon as the two girls walked out on the porch.
Stefan nodded his head once, "I, uh... I wanted to help her. But instead..." Stefan trailed off before asking, "how's he doin?"
Emily ran a hand through her brown hair as she sighed heavily, "he's broken. He won't survive if he has to go through another death."
"What can I do? I... what can I do to help? I'll do anything," Stefan stressed as he looked at the two heartbroken sisters.
"Can you make him forget?" Elena suddenly questioned.
"Elena..." Stefan trailed off as he looked into her brown eyes.
"Stefan, please. I don't know how he'll ever get passed this. I just want him to forget everything that happened," Elena begged.
"If I did it, there's no guarantee that it would work, because of who I am," Stefan explained, "because of how I live. I don't have the ability to do it right."
"I can do it," Damon spoke from behind the trio. "If that is what you want... I'll do it," he stated as he stared at Elena.
Elena looked over to her sister, to see what she thought, Emily always gets the final decision. Emily looked at her sister for a moment before turning to Damon and nodded her head, "do it." Emily knew this was the only way that her brother would be okay without being in constant pain.
"What do you want him to know?" Damon asked.
Elena thought for a moment before she told Damon, "I want you to tell him that Vicki left town and she's not coming back. That he shouldn't look for her or worry about her." Emily nodded her head at her sister before she added, "he's gonna miss her, but he knows this is for the best. Tell him, he's going to move on and he's going to find joy in his life again, like before our parents died."
Damon nodded his head before making his way into the house and towards Jeremy's bedroom. Emily looked back at Elena and Stefan and noticed their sadden faces, so quickly mumbled, "I'll give you two a moment," before making her way into the Gilbert house.
Emily made her upstairs and stood outside of Jeremy's and waited for Damon to be done. A couple of minutes of standing alone, Damon suddenly came out of Jeremy's bedroom. Emily looked up at the older Salvatore and spoke sincerely, "thank you." Damon only gave Emily a small nod before he made his way out of the Gilbert house.
Emily quietly looked through Jeremy's bedroom door and saw him sound asleep. At least one of her siblings would be okay. Emily slowly made her way to her bedroom and pushed the door open before she slipped off her heels. She moved to her closet and took off her bloody dress before putting on a t-shirt and sweatpants. Emily made her way towards her bathroom and looked at her neck. She sighed when she saw the dry blood and the large bite mark. Emily slowly cleaned up her neck and placed a large band-aid over the wound before making her way towards her bed. Emily was beyond exhausted, today has been the most stressful day since her parent's accident. Once Emily finally let everything hit her, tears started to stream down her face. She honestly didn't know how she didn't cry in front of everyone. Emily had been slammed against a wall, twice, and had gotten bitten from an angry vampire. She was hurting psychically and mentally. But Emily knew this would happen again while being in the world that had vampires, she just had to get used to it. The only thing she can focus on right now is to protect her family, no matter what.
