Chapter 6

"Jeremy? Are you up?" Elena asked as she walked into her house.

She heard a noise in the kitchen and went towards it.

Elena entered to find John and Myra on the floor, bleeding badly.

She rushed over to John and tried to stop the bleeding. John was barely awake, while Myra was unconscious.

She moved towards Myra. She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around Myra's bleeding leg. She grabbed the phone and called 911.

"911, what's your emergency?" A woman on the other end of the phone asked.

"Hi, I-I need two ambulances to 2104 Maple Street." Elena said panicked at the situation.

John saw Katherine watching from behind them.

"Behind you." He whispered.

"What?" Elena asked confused.

"Behind you!" Elena turned around and gasped, but she saw no one there. She grabbed the bloody knife next to Myra and cautiously approached the hallway. Katherine sped around, frightening Elena, before she ran out the door. Elena was terrified, and then she remembered Jeremy.

"Jeremy!" She raced up the stairs to his room.

"Jeremy! Jeremy!" She found him unconscious on his bed.

"Please, Jeremy, wake up!" Elena shook Jeremy frantically, and he woke up confused at why he's still human.

"Please wake up...please wake up .." I hear muffled noises from around me. I started to open my eyes, and I saw my dad pacing around the room.

"Dad?" I said before I started getting a massive headache. I groaned as I sat up.

"Oh. Thank God!" He said kneeling next to my bed.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"I'm fine." I said not looking at him. And then everything came back to me. I looked on my nightstand and saw my phone. I grabbed it and texted Elena to come to the hospital. I looked up and saw my dad looking at me with tears in his eyes.

"I told you I'm fine." I said crossing my arms.

"Then why don't I believe you? You were unconscious for a day." He said concerned as he wiped his tears.

"Dad--"

"Myra, I'm sorry for not telling you about Isobel. I just wanted you to have a mother you loved, not one you didn't know." He told me.

"Well, how did that work out?" I asked annoyed. I sighed when I saw his upset face.

"Fine. I forgive you for lying. But how can you not know who my real mother is?" I asked him.

"I don't know. I have no memory of your mother. I don't know who she is." He explained.

"Do you think someone compelled you to forget?" I asked as a possibility.

"Maybe, but I don't really care. All I care about I care about is you and your safety." He said looking at me.

"Thanks." I said with a smile.

"Now, how much longer till I can get out of here?"

"You can leave tomorrow." He said.

"The doctors said they just have to make sure you're vitals are okay and get the medication ready." He explained. I nodded.

"But in the mean time, I want you to get some rest. I'll bring some clean clothes for you tomorrow." He said.

He kissed my forehead and walked out the door. Suddenly, Elena came running in through the door, with none other than Damon Salvatore behind her.

"Hey, how are you?" She asked with concern.

"I'm fine, but it was Katherine. Katherine stabbed me with the knife." I said to her.

"I'm sorry, how do you know Katherine?" Damon asked confused.

"Not important right now." I said sighing before shifting uncomfortably.

"No it is important." Damon said seriously. I sighed before answering.

"She new Isobel, obviously. And for my thirteenth birthday, Isboel invited 'a friend' over and that friend was Katherine. I knew her for a while and she seemed like a nice person at the time." Damon scoffed.

"And Katherine came to the house one day after Isobel went missing. She offered to turn me. I told her I would never want to become a vampire. And she got angry and tried to feed off of me. And she did. I lost. a lot of blood and it took me a while to heal. " I pause before continuing.

"If she wanted to kill me, she would've. All those years ago and hours ago." I told them.

"She has a bigger agenda."

"Well, that's Katherine for you." Damon said annoyed. I looked at him and he sighed in frustration.

"We need to go." He said before grabbing Elena's hand and walking out of the room.

I sighed before closing my eyes and falling asleep.

When I opened my eyes, I was confused as to where I was. I was in someone's bed in an unfamiliar room. I pulled the sheets from off my body and walked out of the room. That's when I realized where I was. The Salvatore Boarding House. I walked downstairs and saw bodies all around, and Stefan and Damon draining the life out of them.

"What the hell?" I asked. They both turned to me with bloody mouths and veiny eyes.

"What are you doing?"

"We're feeding. It's what vampires do. We get what we want." Stefan said with a smirk. Suddenly, he was right in front of me. He moved the hair out of my face and kissed me. I immediately pushed him away.

"I'm getting what I want." He said before kissing me again.

I tried to push him away, but he grabbed my hands and pushed me against the wall. He started kissing against my neck, and then I felt a sharp pain. He was feeding off of me.

"Stefan!" I recognized Damon's voice to say. Stefan stopped and looked at him.

"Save some for me." He said before his eyes turned dark.

He zoomed towards me and started to feed. I sat up startled and realized I was still in my hospital bed. I sighed and felt relieved once I figured out it was just a dream. I looked towards the door and saw it was was wide open. Out of nowhere, I heard muffled screams. I got out of my bed and walked out of the door, even though it hurt like hell. I heard screams coming from the room next door.

Suddenly, the screams stopped. I carefully opened the door and something whipped past me causing me to fall. I groaned in pain before I saw it was Caroline's room. I got up and limped over to her.

"Something's not right." I said when I saw she wasn't moving. I checked her pulse and there was none.

"Oh my god! Someone help me! Someone! Anyone!" I walked out the door and saw a figure standing down the hall.

"Thank god! Please help. She's not breathing!" Suddenly, the figure was in front of me. I looked closely and saw it was Katherine.

"Wait-" I was cut off by her hitting me and pushing me against the wall, and all I saw was darkness.

3rd POV

"My blood will heal her. She'll be back to normal in no time." Damon said to Ric while Myra was in surgery.

"I don't want to risk it." Ric said looking at his daughter inside the operating room with a concerned look.

"Come on Ric, if you want you're daughter to be alive, you'll let me help her." Damon said trying to convince Ric.

"Fine." Ric said sighing.

"But wait until she's awake." Damon nodded and walked out of the room.

"Wake up sleepy head." I heard muffled noises.

I started to open my eyes and saw Damon in front of my bed and my dad next to me.

"Good you're awake." Damon bit into his wrist and started walking towards me.

"What the-" Before I could continue, Damon shoved his wrist towards my mouth causing his thick blood to run down my throat. I pushed him away and coughed. I wiped my mouth and looked at my dad with shocked eyes.

"How could you let him do that to me?" I asked my dad clearly upset at his actions.

"It was the only way to make sure you were okay." He said looking at me. I shook my head and lifted the sheets off my body to see the wound on my leg was healing before my eyes. My eyes widened as it was healed in seconds.

"Vampire blood can heal?" I asked with shock. My dad nodded.

"But now, I just can't be in any danger whatsoever for the next couple of days." I said angrily.

"You say that like it's a bad thing." Damon said looking at me weirdly.

"It is! Because now I can't help try and stop Katherine from whatever she's doing." I said angrily.

"Well, the doctors said once you wake up, you can leave. So I brought you some clothes. Go change so we can get out of here." My dad told me.

Suddenly, the events of last night occurred to me.

"Caroline ..." I said remembering the events that took place last night. I got out of the bed and walked next door to find the door wide open. I saw her dressed and standing in front of a nurse, who had a bandage around her neck. So, she must have had vampire blood in her system.

"I don't know how that works but it's brilliant." Caroline said grabbing her stuff and turning around to find me.

"Myra."

"Caroline, I need you to listen to me." I said. I closed the door.

"You died with vampire blood in your system. Seeing as you just compelled that nurse most likely to make her forget you just fed on her, you are now a vampire."

I paused and she was shocked at what I was saying.

" Now, I'm going to call someone who can help you. " Before I could do anything, she sped towards me and looked into my eyes.

"You are not going to call anyone. You are going to forget that I'm a vampire and go back to your hospital room.

"Suddenly, I looked around and forgot why I was here. I stepped out into the hallway and walked towards my room. My dad was there looking at me.

"Where were you?" He asked looking at me.

"I have no idea." I said trying to figure out what happened. I shook it off before grabbing the clothes my dad brought in. I walked inside the bathroom, quickly changed, and walked out.

"I gotta go. I have a vampire to speak with. "

I said sighing. I grabbed my phone, but before I could leave, my dad pulled my arm back.

" Myra , I think you might need this. "He said handing me my necklace, with vervain in it.

"Thanks." I said putting it on before walking out of the room. I pulled out my phone and started walking out of the hospital. I started calling the only person I trust right now.

"Myra?" He answered

"Stefan, I need you to come pick me up at the hospital." I told him.

"Sure." He said and moments later he was standing in front of me. I jumped back scared at how quickly he got here.

" Hey. Are you alright? "

" Yeah. You just scared me. "I said catching my breath.

" Good. "He turned around.

" Hop on. "He said motioning for me to hop on his back. I sighed and jumped on his back.

" Hold on tight. " He said before we zoomed over to the carnival at the school. I hopped off his back and stumbled. But before I fell, Stefan caught me.

"Hey, are you alright?"

"Yeah. Just a bit dizzy from the ride. "I said with a laugh.

"Ok. Come on. We need to find Damon and Elena." He said. I nodded as we walked into the school. We walked into one of the classrooms to find Damon and Elena standing there, obviously uncomfortable.

"Myra." Elena said in relief before walking over to me and hugging me.

"I'm glad you're okay." She said looking at me.

"Thanks." I said hugging her back. When I pulled away, I looked between the three of them.

"Now, what is this about?"

"Caroline is a vampire." Damon said looking at me. My eyes widened.

"How did this happen?" I asked him.

"Well, I fed her blood and Katherine obviously killed her and A plus B equals .." He trailed off.

"But why?" Elena asked shaking her head.

"Because Katherine is a manipulative, nasty, little slut." Damon said angrily.

"And she said" game on "? I mean, what does that even mean?" Stefan asked confused.

"She said something to me before she..you know." I said referring to when she stabbed me in the leg.

"She said," Tell Elena, I will get what I want. Starting with the Salvatore brothers. "

" It means she's playing dirty. She wants us to know. "Damon concluded.

" But why Caroline? "Elena asked again." I don't know." Damon said sighing.

" Caroline must be completely out of her mind, she doesn't even know what's happening to her. "I said running a hand through my hair.

" Oh I think she does. All of my compulsion from the past started wearing off the minute she was in transition." Damon said annoyed by the situation.

"What did you compel her to do?" I asked confused.

"Not important." He retorted.

"We have to find her." Stefan said speaking up.

"Yep, and kill her." Damon said walking towards the door.

"You're not gonna kill Caroline." Elena and I said at the same time.

"She knows who we are. She's officially a liability, and we've got to get rid of her." Damon explained.

"Damon, absolutely not." Stefan said looking directly at him.

"Need I remind you of a tragic little story of a girl named Vicki Donovan? Caroline, of all people, will not make it as a vampire. Her mother is a vampire hunter. Guys come on, we all know how this story's gonna end , just flip to the last chapter and ... "

" It's not an option Damon. " Elena finalized.

"No? Your silence is deafening, Stefan. Wait, wasn't there a school carnival the night you staked Vicki? I never had a town where history repeats itself. You know I'm right." Damon explained to us.

I was confused but the others seemed to understand. But I shook my head.

"Damon, nobody is dying tonight. Understand me?" I said seriously as I looked at him. He sighed before looking at Stefan.

"We're not gonna kill her." Stefan said seriously. As Stefan left, Elena followed. Before I could join them, Damon spoke up.

"It's the only way." We split up and looked for Caroline. I was walking throughout the halls but couldn't find her anywhere. I walked out to the back of the school and found Damon hugging Caroline. I started running towards them but was shocked to find Damon holding a stake behind her back ready to kill her.

"NO! Damon stop!" I yelled and felt this power surge through my body. Next thing I know, Damon flew threw the air and landed on the ground with a thud. Suddenly, Stefan arrived and rushed over. Damon stood up and looked at me confused.

"What the hell just happened?" He stated moving towards me, but Stefan stopped him.

"What the hell are you?" He asked. I looked down at my hands confused by what just happened. Elena ran towards Caroline, but she looked at Elena terrified.

"Get away from me! You killed me!" Caroline yelled with blood all over her face.

"No, no, no, no Caroline! That wasn't me. You know that! That was Katherine." Elena said trying to explain.

"No! Then why did she look like you ?! And why, why did she do this to me?" Caroline asked confused and afraid. Tears came out of her eyes. I shook off what just happened and ran up to Caroline.

"Guys, we've got to get her inside." I said looking Elena and Stefan.

"It's okay Caroline, come with me." Stefan said as he moved away from Damon and towards us.

"She will die, it's only a matter of time." Damon said with a smirk.

"Yeah, maybe so, but it's not gonna happen tonight." Stefan said seriously.

"Oh yeah it is." Damon said as he went to pick up the stake. He rushed over to us, but I stepped in front of Caroline before Damon could stake her. Damon held the stake right above my chest, and I breathed heavily, glad he didn't stake me.

"Damon! Stop. Don't be this person." I said hoping to reason with him.

"Don't be this killer. You're better than this. You and I both know that." Damon hesitated, as he looked at me. Then he dropped his arm.

"Whatever happens, it's on you." He said looking at all of us. He stepped back, and I sighed in relief. Just then, Bonnie arrived. She looked at Caroline in shock.

"Caroline?" Bonnie asked afraid of what her best friend has become.

"It's ok. Come on." Stefan said motioning for Caroline to follow him. Bonnie saw the blood on Caroline's face.

"No you're not; you can't be." She moved towards Caroline and touched her arm and a horrified expression grew on her face. I was confused by what that meant.

"Bonnie?" Caroline asked through the tears. Bonnie looked past Caroline and saw a dead body.

"Oh god!" Bonnie said moving towards the body.

"Bonnie ..." Caroline said upset.

"Come on Caroline." I said grabbing her hand. And felt that cold feeling again. I pulled my hand away from her's and looked at her. I shook my head and led her to the bathroom. I tried to help her clean up. Stefan came inside the bathroom and looked at me before seeing Caroline crying over the sink.

"She hates me! Bonnie hates me." Caroline said as I got some wet paper towels for her to clean her face.

"No, no, she's just in shock, we all are." I said wiping the blood.

"And what about Matt?" She asked as she cried. She panted out of fright as Stefan came over to us.

"Ssh. One thing at one time, let's get this blood off, come on." Stefan said grabbing some more paper towels and going to the other side of Caroline to help wipe the blood off.

"I'm a murderer. I'm a monster!" Caroline said upset.

"Look at me, your emotions are heightened right now. It's part of the transformation. It's completely normal. I promise you. Okay?" Stefan reassured her.

I threw the dirty paper towels away and moved back to give them some room. I noticed Caroline's face changing in the mirror and apparently so did she because she started to panic.

"Why does this keeping happening to my face ?! I'm hideous." She asked turning around away from the mirror.

"Look at me, look at me, look at me! Caroline, Caroline! Look at me! Look at my face, look at my face!" She looked up at him. Through the mirror, I saw his face has changed too.

"You see that? When you feel the blood rushing, you tell yourself that you're going to get through it, that you're strong enough. Yes, yes, no matter how good it feels to give yourself over to it, you fight it off, you bury it. Watch me, watch me. " She started to calm down.

"It's the only way you're gonna survive this thing. Try." She took a few breaths, and her face returned to normal.

"That's good."

"Why did Katherine do this to me?" Caroline asked looking at Stefan.

"I don't know, I wish I did. Hey, hey, I promise you I will not let anything happen to you. Come here. Come here." He hugged her, and she sighed on his shoulder. Stefan looked at me, and I gave him a slight smile for how he handled the situation. He sighed and nodded. After I helped Stefan with Caroline, I looked all around for Bonnie. I found her in the parking lot.

"Bonnie!" I yelled running towards her.

"Myra?" She asked confused as to why I was there.

"Listen, when you touched Caroline tonight, what did you feel?" I asked her.

"Cold. And darkness. That's how I see if someone is a vampire." She explained through the obvious pain she was experiencing.

"Well, when I touched Caroline tonight, I got that cold and dark feeling. It also happened at the 50s dance when I bumped into Stefan." I explained. She looked at me shocked.

"How is this possible? You're of the Petrova bloodline. There's no way you're a witch." She said shaking her head.

"I'm not related to Isobel, therefore I'm not related to Katherine. Isobel was my step-mother. I don't know who my real mother is. But- -" I stopped myself realizing what she just said.

"Did you just say witch?"

"Yeah. I'm a witch." She told me.

My eyes widened in shock.

"Wait hold on a second ... So I might be a witch?" I asked trying to clarify. She nodded.

"Huh .." "Woah. This is insane. That means I'm not the only witch." She said with a slight smile.

"If you need help with anything, give me a call." She said with a smile. I nodded.

"Thanks Bonnie." I said with a smile.

"Oh, and about Caroline ... I know how difficult it is to figure out someone you love has turned into this horrible monster, but I think you should give her a chance. She can't change what she is. She can only embrace it and move on. But she's gonna need you to help her through that. You and Elena. "

"Thanks, Myra . I really appreciate that." She said. She opened her arms and we shared a short embrace. We shared our goodbyes, and I called my dad to come and pick me up. A short while later, my dad's car pulled up. I smiled and walked to the passenger's seat.

"How are you? Are you okay?" He asked.

"Never better." I said with a smile.

"Why?" He asked furrowing his brows in confusion.

"I'm a witch."
