Chapter 10

                                    

                                          
Mel's POV
When they get up, they rush at me again. I sigh and move out the way. I look at the timer once again and it says 3... 2.... 1....
                          
I run after Elena hearing her quick footsteps and fast breath. I see her run into the canteen over to the other side to the doors only to find them locked. I rush at her and chuck her over the tables. She screams and the table tips over. I shove her against the wall going for her neck to bite it but I get pulled off by someone. I look and see Damon and Stefan in front of poor precious Elena. I chuckle and walk around them circling them.
"Now now. what do we have here?" I ask menacingly.
"You don't want to do this Melanie. You love your sister too much."
"You're right Damon. I do love her except that's deep down inside of me. All I can think about is how good her blood would taste."
"Mel! I'm your sister! How could you even think that?!" I stop in front of them and snarl.
"I have always been jealous of you Elena. Every day everyone would go up to us and ask if you were OK! They always ignored me! You always got the praise I deserved! You're an attention seeking whore! I hate you so so much! Honestly right now I want to drink you dry." I lunge at her but Stefan then grabs a stake and stabs it in my stomach. I groan and fall to the floor on my knees. I then laugh and go to lunge at Elena again with the stake in my stomach. I just about scrape her neck before Damon digs the stake in deeper. 
"I swear to God Mel! Get a hold of yourself! This isn't you! I love you! Cant you see that?!" Exclaims Damon. Is he actually kidding me?!
"Was that why you kissed Elena or was that why you turned me into this amazing creature called a vampire?!" I shout at him. He stays quiet after that and I laugh yet again. 
"If you want to be set free Mel then I suggest you go to Klaus and tell him that you want your freedom." Replies Stefan.
"Now why would I do that? I love this feeling! I love not having to feel! No guilt, love, happiness, sadness! Nothing but numbness! Besides even if I do then he would say no! If he said yes then I would just flee because I would have all the guilt of killing thousands soaring through my body! I don't want that Stefan! I don't want it!" I say with honesty. He sighs and I take the stake out of my stomach. They take a protective stance in front of Elena. I sigh and shake my head. I walk out of the cafeteria. I go to Klaus and drag him into the hallway.
"What do you want love?" He asks me.
"I want my freedom." I announce proudly.
"OK." Wait, what? He is letting me go? He looks me in the eyes and compels me saying,
                          
"You have your freedom. But turn it on first." I turn it on and start to feel all the guilt rush through me all at once. He leaves and I slide down the lockers crying. I don't care if anyone sees me. After about 10 minutes I hear footsteps to my left I look up to the figure but cannot see clearly because of my tears. They crouch down and give me a side hug but I push them away and run. I run out the school and home. I run up to my room in the attic and lock the door making sure that no one can come in. I go to my bed, get under the quilt, grab my teddy bear that i got when I was 2 and cuddle it to my chest while crying my eyes out. I'm not sure how long I was crying but I ended up crying myself to sleep.
