"What are you?" I demanded after he'd stalled for too long. He stared at me and I waited, growing more and more impatient.

"Are you sure you want this?" He paused "Because when I tell you, everything will change."

"Just tell me, Stefan." I said. His facial expression changed; it almost looked as if he were attempting to solve a very difficult math problem.

"...Vampire." His voice was almost inaudible. It took a moment for his words to soak in, but when they did the fear hit me hard. It was like a giant meteorite destroyed my sanity. My vision started to cloud with darkness, for the fear was so great it made me light-headed and nauseous.

"I-I shouldn't come." I began to back off the porch.

"No, Elena." He pleaded as I descended down the stairs.

"No, no, no. Get away!" I screamed, running towards my car.

…And there he was. Out of nowhere he appeared in front of me.

"H-how did you do that?" I asked, slightly dazed.

"Elena, please." He ignored me.

"No, no, no. Stay away!" The shock of his blinding movements wore off as fast as they came and I began to feel frightened again.

"There are things you have to understand. Elena, please listen." He grabbed my arms tightly as I tried to run but as I struggled, his grip loosened until he let go completely. I took off running as fast as I could to my car in case he came after me again.

I shoved the key in ignition and yanked my car into drive. My tires screeched as I pulled out of the driveway.

The last thing I saw before I was headed to the highway was Stefan standing there watching, almost waiting. I shuddered and sped up.
