7. Haunted
Halloween was approaching and it made me realize I needed to find a costume. As I was walking around town, I saw Caroline and Bonnie. "Hey girls!" I greeted them with a huge smile.
They turned to me and smiled. "Hey! Have you been shopping?" Caroline asked, taking notice of my bags. "How dare you shop without moi?" She raised an eyebrow and opened her mouth in shock while Bonnie rolled her eyes.
"I just had to find a costume for the party." I said nonchalantly.
Bonnie nodded and then turned to Caroline. "So what is the thing you wanted to give me?"
Caroline sighed and showed us the crystal Damon had stolen from the Founder's Ball. "Damon gave me this and since we're not together anymore I don't want this around me."
I stared at the crystal as Bonnie touched it. I could feel the power inside of it and I could tell Bonnie was feeling it too. "Why would Damon give this to you in the first place?" The young witch asked.
"I don't know. He said this thing needed to be safe." Caroline rolled her eyes. "Whatever that means."
"It will be safe with Bonnie." I replied quickly.
Caroline shook her head. "I don't care what happens to that creepy thing as long as it's gone."
The blonde cheerleader left and I turned to Bonnie. "The crystal belongs to you. It will protect you." I smiled softly, leaving Bonnie really confused.

The music was blasting through the speakers as I approached the Halloween party dressed as Little Red Riding Hood. Kids were already drunk at the quad, while some couples were making out near the buses. College parties weren't this sloppy.
"Amelia!" I heard someone call out my name. As I turned around, I saw Bonnie Bennett dressed as a witch. How approppriate!
I smiled at her and we hugged. "Cool outfit!" I complimented her.
Bonnie giggled. "I thought it would be ironic considering I am a real witch."
I nodded and saw Damon walking towards us. "Hello girls!" He smirked. "Have you seen Vicki Donovan?"
"Why are you looking for Vicki?" Bonnie asked him with a raised eyebrow.
Damon rolled his eyes and grinned. "It is none of your business." Then he noticed the crystal around Bonnie's neck. "Where di you get that?"
Bonnie furrowed her eyebrows as she touched the crystal. "It's a family heirloom."
"That's mine!" Damon tried to take the crystal from Bonnie but got burned. "What the hell!" He screamed.
"You better leave, Damon." I warned him and he did as he was told. "Are you okay?" I turned to my friend.
Bonnie nodded and we got inside. The crystal only protects its true owner, which means I was right. The Bennett's created the crystal to protect themselves from the supernatural. That's why Damon got burned. He was a danger to Bonnie.

Once I got inside the building, I saw a bunch of my classmates drinking and dancing. That's when I saw Tyler Lockwood dressed as a Spartan warrior and he looked extremely hot. "Amelia Holt!" The drunk football player called. "You look smokin'!" He smirked.
I rolled my eyes and grabbed a drink. "Who are you supposed to be?"
"I'll give you a hint. 300..." Tyler raised his eyebrows.
My smirk was visible at this point. "I was just messing with you." I chuckled and he leaned close to me. "What are you doing?"
Tyler pushed me against the wall and put one hand on my waist and the other one on my leg. "I'm gonna kiss you now and you're gonna hit me but that's okay. I just want to take a chance on you cause you're the hottest chick here." His lips moved closer to mine and when they touched, I could feel something. It was lust. Like animalistic lust.
My hands traveled his body and I could feel his defined muscles. Tyler Lockwood was the kinda guy I should stay away from but I couldn't. I grabbed his hair and switched positions. He was now against the wall while I was kissing him passionately. His lips tasted like beer and mint, which reminded me of a boyfriend I had in college.
After a while, the two of us were drunk. His hands were basically on my thighs as he grabbed my legs and placed them around his waist. "Tyler!" I heard Stefan's voice.
"What!" Tyler responded in annoyance.
Stefan glanced between the two of us with a confused look but he shook it off quickly. "Have you seen Vicki and Jeremy?"
I shook my head and Tyler stared at Stefan. "Amelia and I were busy and you interrupted us because of those two?" He looked mad.
I got between the two boys and looked at Stefan. "No, but I can help you look for them." Then I turned to Tyler. "How about we continue what we were doing later?" I winked at him and he licked his lips in a sexy way.

Stefan and I walked outside to the back of the school. "Since when are you and Tyler a thing?" He asked me without looking at me.
I chuckled. "He's quite attractive." My eyes met with his green ones. "I compelled him to listen to my story and we bonded." I sighed. "Of course he doesn't remember any of that. All he wants is to just use me for my body."
"You deserve more than that." Stefan stated.
My red lips curved upwards as a genuine smile creeped out. Suddenly, we heard a commotion and a scream. We sped to the site and saw Vicki biting Elena in front of Jeremy. Stefan grabbed a piece of wood and staked Vicki, killing her. I gasped as Vicki's body fell on Jeremy and the boy looked heartbroken at the girl he was so desperately in love with.
"Are you okay?" Stefan asked the doe eyed girl. She nodded and hugged him in shock.
I held on to Jeremy as he cried on my shoulder. "Everything is going to be fine, Jer." I tried to comfort the boy but I knew nothing was going to be normal again.
Damon arrived and grabbed Vicki's body. Elena headed to the older Salvatore and slapped him. "All of this is your fault Damon. Everyone dies around you!" He words hit him like venom and he looked upset.
My eyes traveled to the Salvatore brothers. "What are we going to do about her?" I pointed to Vicki.
"Bury her!" Damon demanded and I sighed.
Once Elena, Jeremy and the Salvatores left, I put Vicki's body on my car and drove to the woods to bury her. It reminded me of when I had to bury my brother's body after I killed him. Why was I always in charge of getting rid of the bodies?
