A/N: Okay the story is from Kyle's point of view, but if that changes for a scene I'll say so. But that will only happen after a scene change.
CHAPTER 3
Stefan's POV
I had followed Ryan here. He was with a guy I've seen around. Jake Bryer. So I was guessing he was the one who turned Ryan. But if that was the case then I must have been blind, because Jake Bryer has been in town longer then I have. So the question was is he just living here, or does he have some ulterior motive like ever other vampire that's come to this town.
They had been in the house for a long time. The house had a human owner so there was no investigating it. So I just had to wait for them to come out. When they finally came out I was surprised to see two new additions to the group. Adam Grant and Max Vernal. Well this could be trouble.
I followed after them. They went to the falls. I stayed back far enough to give Damon a call.
"Hello brother." Damon said
"I found the vampires." I said
"Vampires, as in more then one. Great, how many?" He asked
"So far it looks like three. Plus the local they turned." I replied
"Four? So what's the plan?" He asked
"Nothing. Damon who they are, they've been living here for years and they haven't killed anyone in town." I replied
"They turned someone Stefan. They got to go." He said
"You turned Vickie." I said
"That was different." He said
"How?" I started, silence. "That's what I thought."
"So just because you think they're not dangerous you think we should leave them?" He asked
"I don't know yet. But they didn't cause any problems until last night so." I said
"What about the local? There's no way he can be controlled." He said
"Of course he can." I said
"Stefan, You're going to let two fresh vampires run around town?" He said
"For now." I said
"I don't think it's a good idea, just stake him before he kills again. Do you want the consul on are case again?" He asked
"No, but they've been here this long. So I don't think they're just going to get them selves get revealed all of a sudden."
He hung up.
Ryan's POV
"So why are we up here?" I asked
"Just watch." Jake replied
Right after Jake had finished speaking Max had run and jumped off the cliff.
"What. Why is this fun?" I asked
"Just try it." Jake said
Then Adam ran off.
"Make sure you land in the water. Or it will hurt one hundred times more." Jake said
"Wait what? It's going to hurt?" I asked
"Yeah. Its pretty shallow water, only like 10 feet deep." He said
Max was back up now, with Adam. They were laughing. I looked over the edge, but while near it Jake ran into me and knocked me off he fell next to me. We landed and damn it did hurt a bit, but not to bad. We got out and ran back to the top.
"See Ryan, now wasn't that fun?" He asked
Next thing I know Jake is in front of me holding a knife into my stomach. I hunch over in pain, land on my knees. He pulls the knife out and laughs.
"What the fuck!" I hollered
"Calm down Ryan, immortal remember." He said
I groaned. "That doesn't mean you need to go around stabbing people!" I yelled
He put out his hand and I took it. God did that fucking hurt, more then anything I ever experienced.
"So what now?" I asked
"Now? I'm going to teach you how to compel people. Adam and Max you can leave if you want." He said
Adam and Max ran off. Jake walked over to the edge and he told me to watch. He stepped off but he didn't fall, he slowly glided to the ground on a 45-degree angle.
"How did you do that?" I yelled down to him
"Just don't think about it and go!" He yelled back up
I stepped off the edge and dropped to the ground, this time not landing in the water. My legs were bent the wrong way at the knees, my right arm was dislocated, and my torso was twisted almost all the way backwards. The fall was about 100 feet.
"Well, that looked like it hurt." Jake laughed
"What do I do I can barely move my body!" I yelled
"Just get up. Snap your bones back in place if there dislocated the broken ones will fix them selves in a minute." He said
I slowly got up and he was right everything fixed it self, but it still hurt like hell.
We headed for a nightclub one town over. He explained to me how to compel people. Now he was going to demonstrate.
"Just watch Ryan." He said
He walked over to a guy wearing a black t-shirt sitting at the bar. Looked him dead in the eyes and said.
"See that guy over there in the red shirt. Go start a fight with him. Make it a good one."
The guy immediately got up and walked over to the guy in the red and punched him. They both started exchanging punches. I walked over to Jake and sat down.
"Compel the bartender to give us free drinks." He said
"Bartender, hey." I waved at him and he walked over
"Give me two free beers." I said
"Okay, hold on." He grabbed two bottles and handed them to us.
"Nice." I said
"That's just the start, you can get away with so much by compelling." He said
"Follow me." He got up and walked over to a girl, "Come with us." He said
We walked out to the parking lot of the building.
"Take us to your car. Then drive us back to your house." He said to the girl
She did. We got to her house, and he showed me how to feed. The blood was so good. Of course he had to pull me off of her or I would have killed her.
"That's the greatest thing I ever tasted." I said
"Told you that you didn't have to kill." He said
"Now what?" I asked
"I don't know do whatever. Fuck her, feed some more. If not lets get out of here." He said
I decided to just leave.
"Go wash yourself clean of this blood. Then forget everything that happened tonight." I said to the girl
"Now you're catching on." Jake said
We headed out of the building and we were about to leave. But I stopped Jake.
"What's up?" He asked
"I don't feel comfortable doing this." I said
"What?" He asked
"Controlling people, feeding from them." I said
"Why not?" He asked
"It's not right. We're messing with these people. Hurting them." I said
"We're vampires, it's what we do." He said
"How often do we need to feed?" I asked
"At least once a day." He replied, "Now lets get out of here."
We headed back to his place, when we got there we sat on the porch.
"Jake, who's the girl who invited me in? She one of those you feed from?" I asked
Jake chuckled, "Um no. She's mine and Amy's daughter." He said
"What? Are you joking?" I asked
"No." He replied
"How old is she?" I asked
"19, and don't be getting any ideas Ryan. I will kill you." He said
"No, no. I was just trying to figure out how long you've been a…" I couldn't finish
"A vampire?" he finished, "Fifteen years." He said
"Are you going to turn her?" I asked
"I'm going to let her decide for herself, but I want to turn her." He said
"Can I ask how this happen to you guys?" I asked
"It's a long story. Beside its getting late maybe you should get going." He said
He stood up and walked into the house. I ran back to the Grill grabbed my car and drove home. It was 3 o'clock when I got home.
Kyle's POV
When I woke up I felt tired even thou it was 10 o'clock. I was just glad there was no school today, even thou it was Monday. I went downstairs to find out that I was the last to wake up. When I walked into the kitchen was shocked to see my father there.
"Dad when did you get back?" I asked
"Kennedy Anderson here just strolled in last night." Alex said while wrapping his arm around Kens shoulder
"Yea well I'm glad to be home Alexander Anderson." He said
"When do you go back to work?" I asked
"Five days. Then I'll be gone again for Twelve days." He said
"Alright lets go Kenny, we're getting breakfast." Alex said while shoving my father towards the door
"I guess I'll see you kids later." He said before they went out the door
"Ryan get up lets go." I said
"Where are you two going?" Kaleen asked
"Out." I replied
Ryan got up and walked out to his car. We drove in silence for a few minutes.
"So what happened?" I asked
"We'll they told me everything." He replied
"And?" I asked
"They're vampires. I'm a vampire." He said
All I said was "Oh."
"Oh? That's it?" He asked
"What do you want me to say Ryan."
"I don't know."
We were silent again for a little while.
"What else." I asked
"Well vampires have increased strength, speed, and hearing." He said
"How far away can you hear from?" I asked
"Not that much farther like I can hear people talking from 50 meters or so. Right now I can kind of hear your heartbeat, it's faint I don't think I would be able to hear from another outside this car. I can tone it all out to, like I'm turning it off or something."
"Anything else?" I asked
"We burn in the sun, need to be invited in to houses, and we can control people." He said
"Control people? No way you're lying." I said
He looked right into my eyes and said, "Punch yourself in the face." which I immediately did.
"What the fuck!" I yelled
"See." He said
"You asshole."
He just laughed.
"What about… blood?" I asked
"I need to… drink it. But I don't need to kill people, there's other ways." He replied
"Well that's good I guess. Can you tell me the other ways?" I asked
"I can compel people to let me drink from them, and make them forget."
"Is it hard. The urge to drink?" I asked
"Sometimes. Do me a favor thou."
"What?"
"Don't go around bleeding around me." He said
"Okay." I said
"I'm serious I don't know how I will react. I don't want to hurt anyone." He said
"So is there anything else." I asked
"Well I can't die, and I don't age. Actually wood to the heart will kill me. Oh and there's five of them, Jake and Adam have girlfriends and they're both vampires. The last thing is that Jake and Amy, his girlfriend, have a daughter who's nineteen." He replied
"So how long have they been vampires?" I asked
"Jake said he's been one for fifteen years. I think that's everything."
"Okay. What's your plan for today." I asked
"I don't know. Is there anywhere I can drop you off?" He asked
"Um yea. The Grill." I replied
Kyle's POV
When Ryan dropped me off at The Grill he drove off. When I walked in I bought a drink and sat in a booth. Tyler walked over to me and sat in the booth.
"What's up Kyle?"
"Nothing." I replied
"You got any plans for this Friday night?" He asked
"Not at the moment." I replied
"Well I'm having a party which will require some swimming attire, so if you want to come give me a call I'll let you know where it's at." He said
"Alright thanks." I said
"Hey Tyler lets go I don't have all day." Someone by the door yelled
"Who's that?" I asked
"My Uncle Mason." He replied as he stood up
"When did he get into town?" I asked
"Like a week ago." He replied as he headed to the door
I got up and walked over to the pool table and set the balls.
"Up for a game?" Someone asked
I turned to see that it was Stefan Salvatore. Well it couldn't hurt.
"Sure." I said while picking up a pool stick
He started.
"So did Garry upset your girlfriend again?" I asked
"No. If he had I wouldn't be talking to you." He replied
"So why are you?" I asked
"Because, I want to help your brother." He said
I missed the ball and tripped forward. "What?"
"I overheard you two yesterday. I want to help him." He said while walking over to me
"Look I don't know what you think you overheard, but my brother is fine." I said
"I know that he's a vampire."
"Oh." I said
"Can you get your brother to come here?" He asked
"How do I know I can trust you?" I asked
"What reason do I have for lying to you?" He asked
"Alright."
I grabbed my cell phone out and called Ryan. Stefan walked over to a booth that Caroline Forbes was sitting in sat with her.
"Hey Ryan, you know Stefan Salvatore?" I asked
"Yes."
"Well he knows." I said
"I know."
"He wants you to come to The Grill, he wants to talk." I said
"I was going to call him anyway. Tell him I'm coming. Then go back to doing whatever it is you were doing, I want to talk to him."
"Alright." I said
I hung up and walked over to Stefan.
"He's on his way. I'm going to get out of here." I said
Stefan just nodded.
Ryan's POV
All the way to The Grill I was wondering if I could trust Stefan, I didn't see any reason why I couldn't. When I got to The Grill I walked in and joined Stefan, and Caroline Forbes?
"Ryan." Stefan said
"Um, so what's up?" I asked
"It's okay Ryan, she knows." He said
"Okay." I said
"Ryan, have you killed anyone else?" He asked
"No." I said
"When was the last time you feed?" He asked
"Last night." I replied
"I want to show you a way to feed without hurting people." He said
"Right now?" I asked
"Yes." He replied
"And what is this other way." I asked
"Feeding from animals." Caroline said
"What?" I asked
"Eating poor defenseless animals." She replied
"Caroline, its necessary." He said
"I still prefer donations." She said frowning
"So wait your both vampires?" I asked
"Yes." Stefan said
"Who else?" I asked
"My brother Damon." He replied
"Is that it?" I asked
"Well, I guess you should know. Just to keep yourself safe." He said
"Know what?" I asked
"The Lockwood's, Mason and Tyler…" Stefan started, "Their vampires?" I interrupted
"No, we believe that they're werewolves." He said
"What?"
"Yea." He said
"Why are you telling me all of this? Why do you want to help me?" I asked
"Well I want to make sure that you can control yourself." He said
"And you're trusting me with all of this information?" I asked
"Yes, just one thing. Don't tell Jake and them about us." He said
"How do you know about them?" I asked
"I followed you to their house last night." He said
"So are we going to go?" Caroline asked
"Sure." Stefan replied
They got up and I followed them, they walked into the forest and then ran off. I followed them until they stopped.
"Alright here." Stefan was holding a squirrel
"What?"
"Try feeding from it." He said
I took the squirrel and starred at it. Then I bite into it and started drinking. It didn't taste as good as human blood, but it wasn't horrible.
"Is that it?" I asked
"Try and catch something yourself." He said
I ran off and found a rabbit, when I got back Caroline was drinking from a rabbit of her own.
"Well, I think you got it. It may not be as good as human blood, but it's a good alternative." Stefan said
"Are we done?" I asked
"If you've had enough." He said
"Yep." Both Caroline and I said
"Alright, well I'm going. If you need anything Ryan call me." He said before running off
"So do you want to go back to The Grill?" Caroline asked
"I guess."
We both ran back, when we got there we bought some food and grabbed a booth.
"So Caroline, how long have you been… you know?" I asked
"Just over a week." She replied
"Really? That short?" I asked
"Yea." She replied
"Who turned you?" I asked
"Well Damon gave me blood to heal me from my car accident. But then a vampire named Katherine killed me." She said
"Why'd she kill you?" I asked
"Cause she's a bitch." She replied, "What's your story?"
"Didn't Stefan tell you?" I asked
"Well yeah he said who, but why did they?" She asked
Well I wish there was a better answer.
"Um, because they were bored." I said
"I'm sorry. It's not fair, they shouldn't have done it to you." She said
"You to." I replied
"So did you enjoy your bunny?" She asked
"I didn't mind it." I replied
"Really? I can't stand animal blood." She said
"So why do you drink it then?" I asked
"I don't know it seems right." She replied
"How have you dealt with this?" I asked
"It's not easy." She said
"I mean my insides are so jittery and the urge to just attack people sometimes." I said
"You get use to it." She said
"I don't want to hurt anyone. My mind its like its on overdrive, like." I said
"Like, your emotions are heightened?" She said
"Exactly. I mean my concern for my family, and my anger especially. I just want to rip someone's head off. I may have gotten angry before but this is so much worse, I feel like I'm going to snap." I said
"Well it starts to get better, not by much yet. But it's a start." She said
"So who all knows?" I asked
"Who doesn't know is the better question." She replied
"That many?" I asked
"Be prepared this is a long list. Elena and Jeremy Gilbert, Bonnie Bennett, Alaric Saltzman…"
"Wait? Are history teacher?" I asked
"Um yes can I continue?" She asked
"Yep sorry."
"That's all the people who know about us. Now there is the council, which are the founding families. The council knows about vampires and they kill them if they find any." She said
"Is that all?" I asked
"I think so." She said
"Hey Caroline." We both turned to see Matt
"Hey Matt." Caroline said as she stood up and hugged him
"Alright well I've got to go." I said as I stood up and walked away
This was to crazy, the founding families vampire hunters? And why does Mr. Saltzman know? I need a drink. I went up the bar.
"Hey get me a beer." I compelled the bartender
When he gave me my beer I walked to a booth. I finished my beer and went to get up for another but as I got up I knocked over someone walking by.
Bonnie POV
"Ouch." I said while I fell on my butt
"Oh darn, I'm so sorry. Here." He held out his hand
I took his hand and he pulled me up. The first thing I noticed was the dead feeling I got whenever I touched a vampire. This man was a vampire. Then I had a vision. There was a car, a challenger it was on the side of the road. Then I saw Tyler Lockwood, after that there was some blood on a tree, and then I saw Tyler again but now he had blood pouring from his shoulder. I snapped back to reality.
"You okay?" He asked me
"Um yeah fine." I replied
"I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention. Bonnie right?" He asked
"Yeah, and you are?" I asked
"Ryan Anderson." He said
"Well I've got to go." I said
I started walking away but he followed me toward the door.
"Wait. I was talking to Stefan and Caroline. They said you know." He said
What? So they already know about him. But what did he know about me.
"What did they tell you?" I asked
"They said that you know, about vampires?" He replied
"I do. I know that you are one." I said
He started walking. He motioned for me to follow him, so I did. We walked over to a car, a challenger, just like in my vision!
"Is this your car?" I asked
"Yeah." He said
"It's nice." I said
He opened the door and grabbed something, sunglasses he put them on.
"That's better." He said
I gave him a confused look.
"The sun, it kind of bugs my eyes. A lot." He said
"So what do you want?" I asked
"I wanted to ask how you know." He said
"Well Elena is dating Stefan, and Caroline is my friend so." I said
"Okay but how did you find out?" He asked
"Long story short. Damon Salvatore attacked me." I said
"He did?" He asked
"Yeah. So if that's all you wanted to know, then I'm going to go." I said
"Wait, you look upset." He said
"Doesn't Matter." I said
I went to turn and walk away but he grabbed my arm. In the next second he was grabbing his head and falling to the ground.
"What, What are… you doing to me." He asked
"Just leave me alone, and don't touch me." I said
"Please… stop, it hurts… so much." He said
His eyes started tearing up and after a couple of seconds he passed out. This keeps happening, I'm losing control of my powers like when I was first learning about them. First it happened with Damon, and now with Ryan.
"Bonnie!" Someone yelled
I turned to see Stefan with Elena running over to me.
"Bonnie what are you doing." Elena said
Stefan leaned in to see if Ryan was okay. Ryan woke back up less then a minute after he passed out.
"What happened?" He asked
"Bonnie why did you do this?" Stefan asked
"I, He. He just keep persisting, he wouldn't let me leave." I said
Stefan grabbed Ryan by his shirt pulled him off the ground and slammed him on the hood of his car.
"What were you doing Ryan?" Stefan asked
"What? Know I wasn't doing anything." He replied, he was shaking he was actually shaken.
"Stefan he didn't attack me. It's just he wouldn't let me walk away, and I didn't want to be around him. When I touched him I had a vision." I said
Stefan released Ryan and turned to Bonnie. Ryan remained still laying back on the hood of his car.
"What do you mean you had a vision?" Ryan asked
"What did you see?" Stefan asked
"Well I saw his car on the side of a road, then I saw Tyler Lockwood. Then I saw a tree covered in blood, and again Tyler but with blood pouring down his shoulder." I said
"What is that suppose to mean?" Ryan asked
"It means you need to avoid Tyler Lockwood. Or you might end up hurting him." Stefan said
"Why would I hurt Tyler Lockwood?" Ryan asked staring at me
"I don't know." I said
"What did you do to me?" He asked
"It doesn't matter." I replied
"What! You attack me and your just going to say it doesn't matter!" He yelled
Now he was standing up, and he looked angry.
"Yes, because it doesn't." I said
His face changed right in front of us, his eyes went red and his veins popped out. His fangs were exposed.
"Ryan Calm Down!" Stefan yelled
When he started stepping forward I dropped him again.
"Oh god… I'm… sorry… Just stop… please!" He yelled
I stopped right away and he was left in shock and pain.
"Ryan I think we need to get you out of here." Stefan said
"Alright." He said
"Your probably thirsty now, lets go feed first then you go home. I'll bring your car there later." Stefan said
Ryan handed Stefan the keys while he stood up, "Don't scratch my car." He said
They ran off into the forest.
"Bonnie why did you attack him?" Elena asked
"I don't trust him." I told her
Ryan's POV
After feeding again with Stefan I went straight home like he asked me to. When I got there I went straight upstairs, opened my window and fell onto my bed, it was nine thirty. I heard someone start for the staircase then walk up to my door.
"Ryan." My Father said
"What's up dad?"
"You looked upset when you came in, just wanted to make sure everything's good." He said
"I'm fine."
"You sure?" He asked
"Yep dad." I replied
"Okay. Have you seen your brother today?" He asked
"Not since earlier this morning."
"Are you going to sleep?" He asked
"I don't know yet."
"Alright." He left
Some time later I heard a car driving up followed by light shinning in my window. I heard Kyle and Garry talking then the car drove off and the front door opened. Kyle walked upstairs and entered my room.
"What's up Kyle?" I asked
"How was your day?" He asked
"Good."
"So what did Stefan want?" He asked
"To show me another way of feeding."
"Which is?" He asked
"Feeding off animals." I replied
"Are you going to do it that way?" He asked
"I'm going to try."
"Good."
I listened I could only hear two people in the house. Kyle and Dad were talking. Alex and Kaleen must still be out. I didn't know if I was going to go to school tomorrow, I didn't know if I could take being crowded with so many people. I guess I would find out tomorrow.
Damon's POV
I had been sitting in front of the fireplace for some time now, drinking the whole time. I was still pissed that Stefan was being so wreck less with Caroline and the other, who Stefan refused to tell me who he was. I heard him walking towards the room. He must have just got back.
"Hello Brother."
"I don't think we will need to worry about the new vampire at all." Stefan said
"Straight to business, no 'hello how are you'." I said
"I'm sorry Damon. How are you?" He asked
"Like you would like to know." I said as I got up to refill my glass, "If he becomes a problem Stefan I'll hold you responsible."
"I seem to remember not to long ago you causing all kinds of trouble." He said
"All that's right I'm the evil one. I'm such a bad guy. I hurt people and I don't care about anyone but myself."
"Damon…" He started
"I seem to remember I time when you were all about the blood, in fact you couldn't get enough of it." I said
After that there was silence for some time. Finally Stefan went to leave.
"Stefan, what about Katherine and the Lockwood's?" I asked
"Elena and Alaric are going to look at some of Isobel's stuff at her old office on Friday. See if they can find anything about werewolves." He replied, "As for Katherine, we'll think of something." He left
I stood up grabbed my jacket and headed for the door.
"Where you going?" Stefan asked
"Out."
I got in my car and drove. At first I was just driving with no specific destination. But then I ended up going to The Grill. When I walked in I looked around. Despite it being eleven o'clock on a weeknight there was a lot of people here. In a booth on the other side of the room I saw Kaleen, she was talking to some guy who was standing at the end of the booth. She looked uncomfortable.
"I told you that I'm waiting for my boyfriend." She said
"That's what you said before, but look still no one here." He replied
"So he's running late." She said
"Am I bothering you?" He asked
"Yes, so could you please leave?" She asked
I started walking over there
"Nope, sorry. Asking a second time isn't going to change my answer." He said
"I'm sorry I'm late." I said as I took a seat across from Kaleen
The man just looked at me and walked away to the bar
"Thank you." She said
"Your welcome."
"How'd you know that he was bothering me?" She asked
"I overheard you two while I was walking by, thought I'd help you out." I replied
"Well again thank you, I'm sorry what's your name?" She asked
"Damon Salvatore." I said while I extended my hand to her, which she shook
"Can I buy you something to eat, to thank you?" She asked
"You certainly may not. But can I buy you something to eat? Unless you really do have a boyfriend you're waiting for?" I asked
She laughed, "No, I was just trying to get him to leave."
I smirked. That is what I was hoping for.
"Well then its settled dinner on me." I said
UKNOWN POV
"Well then its settled dinner on me." He said
I stopped listening. I laughed. Outplayed by a man in leather, maybe I should have just compelled her. Well I wont take that chance this time. I looked to the blonde girl sitting next to me.
"Hey you." She turned and I looked into her eyes, "Lets get out of here."
"Alright." She replied
I got up and she followed "Do you have a car?"
"Yes it's that one over there." She pointed to her car across the parking lot
"Give me the keys." She handed me the keys and we got in the car. I drove off to a secluded away, turned the car off and compelled her to run for her life.
She got out of the car and started running. It only took a minute before she tripped over a tree trunk.
"Your know fun." I sighed
"Get away from me!" She yelled
I grabbed her by her shoulders and slammed her into a tree. She screamed so I put my hand over her mouth. She stopped screaming after. I changed my face and stared right into her eyes, she started shaking. I heard something that sounded like a muffled 'please no'. Slowly I moved my face to her neck, and licked across her jugular. Which caused her to whimper.
Quickly I threw my head back and bite into her neck. I drained her quickly. She died within seconds. Her limp body dropped to the ground. I picked up her body and ran back to her car, and then put her in the car and drove to the closest road where I left the car with her body.
