162 Candles - 1

The first thing I see when I wake up is the roof, followed by a blond woman, brown eyes and fangs. I screamed and backed away from her, falling off the bed, My feet tangled in the sheets. I expect her to bite me or something, instead she's laughing.

She's actually doubled over in laughter. Okay am I in danger or?

The door opens and Stefan pokes his head in with a worried look, it fades when he sees the vampire laughing in the shade. "I thought I told you to leave her alone" He scolded as he approached me and helped me to my feet.

The vampires laughter died out but she was still smirking "Well sue me, there's a human living with my best friend. I had to see for myself" She said, defending her actions for scaring me half to death.

"So.." She said giving me a look over. "Is this Elena?" I feel my face flush red hot. I shake my head along with Stefan. "Lexi this is Ariel. Ariel this is Lexi, my best friend" He said with a smile.

Lexi smiled at me. "I'm sorry for scaring you" I smile lightly, still a bit shaken, well that wasn't really her fault, and wave it off with a hand.

"It's fine, really" My phone rings and I reach for it, checking the caller I.d. Matt. I swallow the lump in my throat before picking up.

"Hello?"

"Ariel where are you?"

"I'm at a friends house. Why what's going on?"

"Well they're asking us to go to the sheriffs office. Interrogation for Vickis disappearance"

"Okay, I'll be there in a few" I say before cutting the call. I turn to Stefan, "Did they call you too?" He only nods

"I'll wait for you outside" He says and leaves me to change and get ready. Lexi stayed, leaning on the wall by the open window. "You mind?" She asks, pointing to the window.

"You don't have a daylight ring?" I ask as I close the curtains, blocking the sun light. She lifts her hands up, wiggling her fingers. "Nope. Only Stefan and Damon have those" I scowl for a second as I grab a pair of clean clothes from my bag.

"So you've already Damon" She adds with a chuckle as she plops down on the bed. "Sadly" I mutter as I walk to the conjoined bathroom to change. I hear her move to the door, "So how did you find out about vamps?" I slip out of my leggings and respond.

"I might have appeared at the wrong moment" I said, slipping on my jeans. "What happened, you look like you've been crying all night"

I look myself in the mirror and realize she's right. I have circles from lack of sleep under my eyes, and my eyes are red and puffy. "I lost someone yesterday" I explained lightly. I sighed and applied a layer of foundation to hide that.

I open the door and find Lexi on my bed again. "I'm sorry for your loss" I smile as She hands me my purse and I take it, putting my makeup inside. "Thanks. "So what are you doing here?" I ask, not wanting to talk about the subject of loss any longer.

We leave the room and start heading to the door, When Stefan comes to view by the door is when she responds

"It's Stefan Salvatores Birthday" She said, smiling.

"Ooh is it" I ask with a smirk. He rolls his eyes playfully.

"Thanks Lexi" He says sarcastically. "Your welcome" I smile.

"Right well we go to go, I'll see you in a bit" He says opening the door, I give Lexi a smile before leaving. "Nice meeting you" She nods and waves,

"Likewise"

............

When we get to the station Matt shoots up from his seat and approaches us. "Where were you?" He asks clearly angry. He looks up at Stefan with a glare before back at me.

"We're you with him?" I am suddenly great full for the makeup. I shake my head and elbow him in the rib for good measures.

"No! Jesus, Matt Donavan!" I scold before walking over to Elena who sat with her aunt Jenna and Jeremy. She pulled me to the side,

"Were you with him? You came through that door at the same time" Elena said, stating the obvious.

I sigh and make sure Matt is out of hearing range. "Fine. I was, I just- I can't be in the same house as Matt. I'm just staying there for awhile" She nods understandingly.

The door to Liz's office opened and she asked Matt to come in. When it was my turn I mentally tucked away my feelings.

I've watching a lot of true crime so I know what the look for in interrogations.

Fidgeting, nervous habits- twirling hair, bitting nail, shifting positions-, faltering voice, etc.

I sit down in the chair and Liz starts with the questions.

"Did Vicki say where she was going?" I shake my head, "No, she didn't. She told Jermey to tell me and Matt she was leaving town"

"What was Stefan doing at your house?"

"He was trying to help her, with the drug problem"

"What was her behavior like those last few days before she left?"

"Crazy, up and down, Like she was coming down from a drug"

"Any signs of aggression or violence?"

"No"

"So you believe Vicki really has left town?" I nod.

"Yes"

That had to have been the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

Me and Matt step outside the station. Stefan is there waiting.

I stop by Stefan but Matt keeps going, ignoring him. "He was trying to help Matt!" I call out to him. The door opens once more and Elena, Jermey and Jenna step out. "I'll met you guys at the car" She assures her family. She walks over to us.

"I don't think the Sheriff suspected anything. Jermey had no memory at all. All he knew was what Damon made him know" Stefan nods "Thank you"

That's my cue. I walk away from them and lean against the wall. I jump when someone touches me. "It's just me" Elena says. "Are you okay? You look better" I pull out my makeup.

"The beauty of makeup" I say sarcastically. She smiles a little one corner lifting higher then another. I scratch the crook of my neck, "Hey is it okay, if I go to your place for a while. Stefans kinda having a friend over and I don't want to intrude" She nods

"Sure"

............

"Wow, so did someone throw a party and not invite me?" Bonnie asks, opening the door. Me and Elena are under the covers, I'm not sure exactly what we're failing at. We just got in bed and didn't say a word, contemplating over everything, that and I was at least trying to sleep.

"You two up?" She asks, Angling her chin to us. "No" I respond and throw the covers up to cover my face.

I hear Bonnies footsteps and brace myself. She grips at the covers and me and Elena cling to them. "No, no, no" We both protest. Bonnie stops and looks at us both.

"Why haven't either of you called me back?" Elena heaves a sigh, "We're sorry"

"Are you gonna stay there forever?"

"Yep" We both respond simultaneously. Bonnie sighs, "Move over" I sigh and move to make space for her.

She gets under the covers and turns to face us both. "I'm officially worried. What's going on?" Elena puts her head on arm to look Bonnie in the eye. "I'm tired of thinking, of talking. I-"

"Can I get a one line version so I can at least pretend to be helpful?" Bonnie pleads. "Stefan and I broke up"

"Oh are you okay, right stupid question. What about you Ariel?" I sigh, "It's complicated, if it helps I feel exactly like Elena" Bonnie sighs at the both of us.

"Look I know I've been kinda M.I.A. when you two needed me the most" Elena slumps off my arm, "Wanna make it up to us? Get our minds off it" Bonnie smiles

"Just remember you asked for it" She warns as she gets up out of bed. Elena and I sit up in confusion. Bonnie shuts the window close and grabs a pair of scissors, cutting open one of the pillows allowing the feathers to fly on the bed. "Be patient" She comments with a smile.

"Okay" I say, shifting in my seat. Bonnie sits down in front of us. "I need to swear you both to secrecy" She says with a serious tone. "It's kind of a bad week for that kind of stuff" Elena comments.

"Swear, cause I'm not supposed to be showing you this" "Ok we swear" I say.

"Ok, there are no windows open right?"

"Right" I confirm looking at the windows.

"There's no fan, no air conditioning"

"None what are you doing?" Elena asks. "Grams just showed me this. Your gonna love it" She says, smiling.

She puts a hand over the feathers and slowly lifts her hand up. A single feather follows, levitating with her movements. I watch in awe as she lowers her hand and the feather stops.

"Bonnie what's going on?" Elena asks, confused and surprised. Bonnie says nothing, she rubs her hands together and hovers them over the pile of feathers.

She lifts them up and several follow. She lowers her hands and the feathers sink. She stares at them and the majority float up in the air, surrounding us. I gasp in awe and me and Elena both rise on our knees.

I trace my finger over one as it passes. "It's true you guys. Everything my grams told me. It's impossible, but it's true. I'm a witch" I nod, smiling.

"We believe you"

Holy Frack, my best friends a witch!

"It's weird huh. All this time joking I'm a psychic. I really am a witch" We laugh. "You don't think I'm a freak now, do you?" Bonnie asks us, stroking a feather.

"No, of course not" I say putting a hand on her knee in reassures. "Uh, Bonnie I just- I don't understand, though. If your grams asked you to keep all this a secret, why did you tell us?" Bonnie simply smiles,

"You two are my best friends. I can't keep secrets from you two"

Why is the world so cruel, seriously I feel guilty enough.
