HERE IS ANOTHER CHAPTER! Isn't it exciting!:) Enjoy!
A shadow blocked the sun from shining onto the pages of Olivia's book, making her unable to read.
"You said you would explain everything, that's why I'm here. When you Google 'Vampire', you get a world of fiction. What's the reality?" Elena sat down and faced Stefan.
"I can tell you whatever you want to know." Stefan slowly smiled.
"I know you eat garlic." Elena spoke quickly.
"Of course He does-" Olivia commented while rolling her eyes.
"And somehow, sunlight is not an issue." Elena's eyebrows rose.
"We have rings that protect us."
"Crucifixes?"
"Decorative."
"Holy water?"
"Drinkable."
"Mirrors?"
"Myth."
"You said you don't kill to survive." Elena's necklace shined in the sunlight, Olivia thought it looked quite tacky...
"Animal blood keeps me alive, but I'm not as strong as Damon. He can be very powerful."
"And yet you let him get involved with Caroline?"
"Stopping Damon from doing what he wants is a hard task; I should know...He did kill my parents, Elena." Olivia responded rudely. Elena wasn't being nice to Stefan, if he wanted to hurt her why did he treat her so well in the last few days?
"He was only feeding on Caroline, he was able to take away her memories of being bitten using a form of mind compulsion. She never knew what was happening to her. If he wanted to kill her, he would have." Stefan interrupted the girls, shadowing them in information.
"Is that supposed to make it, ok?" Elena asked.
"No. No, none of this is ok, Elena. I know that."
"Are there any others, aside from you and Damon?"
"Not in Mystic Falls; not anymore." Olivia started to daydream at Stefan's words, so there were vampires all over the world then? She imagined the tribes in Africa painting on vases; did they ever mention blood sucking demons? "There was a time when this town was very much aware of vampires, and it didn't end well for anybody. That's why it's important that you don't tell anyone."
"I can't promise that." Elena stated.
"Damon won't be pleased if you go around telling everybody-" Olivia was interrupted by Stefan.
"Elena...Give me today. I will answer any questions that you have, and when it's over, you can decide for yourself what you want to do with what you know. It'll be your choice."
"Okay, fine..." Elena nodded.
"Great, can we go somewhere? Can you drive us, Elena?"
"Do I have to go? Can't you drop me off home?" Olivia sighed; she didn't want to go on a history trip.
"Be careful, Olivia. He is dangerous." Stefan looked at her, serious.
"Yeah whatever, I'll just stay in the light."
"Have I interrupted something?" Olivia questioned while watching Damon and Vicki. Damon had Vicki's wrist at his lips while Vicki had his. Damon looked up and smiled, his teeth were stained with red.
"Nope, wanna join in?" Vicki simply looked at her, compulsion at its best.
"I don't think Stefan would be pleased-"
"Who cares what he thinks? Anyway...I'm the oldest." Vicki giggled; she was always a trouble maker. No wonder she got herself into drugs, and is now Damon's blood puppet.
"Vicki, isn't Matt wondering where you are?" Olivia asked while going up the stairs.
"Nope!" Olivia turned to face her but she was already at Damon's wrist again. Vicki was only wearing a vest and panties; Damon of course was wearing black. This wasn't good, what will Stefan do when he finds out Damon is attacking Vicki again? Maybe he will drug him again, lock him away and throw away the key. But would it be for better or for worse?
Damon smiled as Vicki tried to past him.
"You're going to start craving blood, and until you get it, you're going to feel very out of it. You have to be careful."
"Come on, move." Vicki succeed to push him aside.
"See? You're already starting to fall apart."
"And I'm going home now." She started to walk down stairs, her clothes over her shoulder.
"Okay, fine. I'm just warning you...Actually, you know what? You should go. In fact, if I were you, I would stop by your boyfriend Jeremy's house."
"Yeah, whatever."
"Bye, Tell Elena I said hi. And if you see Stefan, tell him to call me." Damon smiled again. Olivia was taking an awful long time, what was she doing? "OLIVIA?!" He called but there was no answer. Damon sped towards Olivia's bedroom, Olivia sat in the corner. She sat with her knees bought up to her chest and her long blonde hair covered her face. "Olivia?" She looked up and screamed.
"NO! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Olivia ran but Damon sped towards her. "NO, PLEASE! DON'T!" Damon took hold of her head between her hands and he spoke in quiet tones.
"Olivia, it's me. You are perfectly safe."
"I didn't do anything!" Her eyes were filled with tears and she bought him closer, into a hug.
"I know you didn't, you are safe."
"I don't know, what's wrong with me, Damon. I'm seeing things, memories..."
"What did you see?" Damon led her over to the bed and sat Olivia down.
"A man was hitting me, blaming me. I can't go on like this-"
"Do you want me to stop it? Do you want to me to give you a happy dream?" Damon expected her to say no but she nodded. Damon looked into her eyes and compelled her. The sun beat down onto Damon's neck and he smiled. He sat in the middle of a field, flowers bloomed nearby and the trees behind him seemed to sigh in the wind.
"Damon?" Olivia called from behind him and he turned. Her hair was loose, she wore a short purple dress with white vans, and she looked beautiful. "Where are we?"
"A field which used to be near the old boarding house, beautiful isn't it?" Olivia sat down next to him.
"Thank you, Damon. I can't go a minute without thinking of that man-"
"Then don't think about it." Damon deeply sighed, breathing in the fresh air. He wondered if Olivia would be seeing the memories if they hadn't of met...Was it only because he was around. "You will be fine."
"I hope so...did you turn Vicki?" Olivia turned to him with her eyebrows raised, her forehead was wrinkled
"Yep, I did." He dropped the 'p' and smirked.
"Stefan is going to be even more annoyed than ever."
"What's your favorite book, Olivia?" Damon quickly changed the subject, he would deal with Stefan later. Anyway, they weren't here to talk about Stefan. They sat for a while till Olivia answered.
"Probably Harry potter."
"All fiction, real witches don't go around with wands."
"I think Bonnie might be a witch."
"Why do you say that, Olivia?"
"I don't know, really...at the car wash she made water splash over some girl-"
"Then she probably is." The conversation ended and they just sat there. Damon would never admit it to Olivia but He had come here with Flossie quite often. Floss had loved the flowers and the trees, Damon sighed.
"Elena knows about you and Stefan." Olivia commented simply.
"It was going to happen sooner or later-" Damon was interrupted by the dream ending as Olivia began to awake.
Olivia watched as Elena saw Damon and immediately tried to close the door on him, but Damon placed his full weight on the door and it creaked as it opened.
"Jeremy, go upstairs." Elena tried to speak confidently but her voice cracked, without a second order Jeremy did as asked.
"And good evening to you too, Elena." Damon smirked.
"Stay away from me."
"Hey, there's no need to be rude." Damon huffed.
"Elena, we're just looking for Stefan." Olivia smiled at Elena in an effort to calm her but she kept her eyes on Damon.
"May I come in? Oh, wait...Of course I can. I've been invited." Damon walked in causally and Olivia slowly followed him, closing the door behind her. "We can cut to the chase if you want; I'm not going to kill you right now. That wouldn't serve my greater agenda. So...where's Stefan?" Damon crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows.
"He's out looking for Vicki." Elena succeeded in putting venom into her voice.
"Don't look at me with those judgey little eyes; the girl's going to thank me for what I did to her."If Damon had said this line a week ago, Olivia would have said a rude comment but she just couldn't be bothered anymore. It was too hard to compete with Damon.
"Did you thank Katherine?" Olivia whistled.
"Got the whole Salvatore life story, huh?" She commented while playing with the zip on her leather jacket, Damon had insisted she wear it.
"I got enough." Elena took in a deep breath
"Oh, I doubt that." Damon sounded hurt. "Tell my brother I'm looking for him." He left but quickly came back again. "Oh, tip for later; be careful who you invite in the house." Damon had a final smirk and then left. Elena turned to Olivia and just stared.
"I'm sorry about him-"
"What are you doing with him?" Elena leaded her into the kitchen.
"He's looking after me; he's basically the only person I have left." Olivia awkwardly put her hands in her pockets.
"What about Matt? Or Stefan?" Elena questioned while taking some pizza out the oven.
"Matt is my cousin but he would ask too many questions...Stefan and I don't really get on-"
"And you get on with Damon?" Elena chuckled.
"I think he's quite funny..." Olivia took some pizza off the table; she smiled to herself when she began to think about what Damon had done for her today.
Stefan walked up onto the porch and spotted Elena immediately. She was sitting next to a sleeping Olivia; Olivia was curled up into a ball. As she was wearing all black she looked like a sleeping cat.
"You're bleeding." Panic was the main part of Elena's voice.
"No, it's okay. It's ok." Stefan took Elena's hand. "I couldn't stop her, I tried."
"What does that supposed to mean?"
"She fed, and then I lost her." Elena's mouth opened in shock as he finished his words.
"Oh, my god." Elena looked out into the distance.
"I'll take care of it. I'll find her, and I will show her that she can live like I do. I will make sure that she does not hurt anybody, Elena. I promise you."
"What do I tell my brother and Matt?" Elena's voice was high with panic.
"We'll come up with a story."
"You mean we'll come up with a lie." Stefan sighed.
"I'm so sorry."
"I gave you today just like you asked, and I understand that you would never do anything to hurt me, and I promise I will keep your secret. But...I can't be with you, Stefan. I'm sorry. I-I just can't..." Elena released his hand and ran inside. He heard her cries from inside and he just stood there in silence. So everything had been for nothing, Stefan wouldn't get with Elena...
"Ouch." A muffled voice came from Olivia and Stefan huffed.
"Please Olivia, let's not talk about it."
"I had another memory attack, same guy but different time." Stefan walked over to her slowly and lifted her off the seat and into his arms.
"Was Damon there?"
"Yep, he gave me a nice dream." Olivia yawned and leaned into Stefan closer. Did she say Damon gave her a nice dream? Damon did something nice? Stefan had said it before, Olivia was his humanity.
"That's good..."
"I know. All is good in Mystic falls."
