I fixed the saying Raquel instead of Raya mistakes! lol But were you surprised?! Kol having a thing for Raya...okay it was a moment of weakness and I kinda wanted it since I saw a recent episode of Vampire Diaries. Plus it adds to the fun! Okay onto the next chapter! And sorry for the serious long wait, I'm bipolar and have episodes of depression and it just got really bad and I had zero inspiration, I'm still depressed but I'm trying to be positive. So without further adieu the latest chapter, might try to pop out another 2 or just 1. I have all day and tomorrow so hopefully! c:
Chapter 6: Vicki's Rebirth
Raquel's POV:
I was driving over to my house quickly for my keys, but even though I was in a hurry I couldn't resist the urge to listen to music. The song playing was Bite My Tongue by You Me At Six, it kinda reminded me of Katherine and Stefan, because Stefan hated Katherine even though she made him what he is. Ironic, I laughed at my own joke, what a cheese ball I was.
Finally reaching my house I saw my little brother Logan standing outside looking in a state of panic. I parked the car and ran toward him, "Logan what's the matter?"
"Aunt Selinda...she collapsed! I called 911 and I'm waiting for them to get here. I didn't know what I could do, ugh." He put his hand of his forehead worry stricken.
He was a very socially awkward person, as was I, but under these kind of situations he didn't know what he should do. He was so scared, he was only 15, "Don't worry I'll take care of everything."
Just then Jeremy Gilbert walked by and came up to Logan, "Hey what's going on Logan?"
"It's my aunt dude, she collapsed!" Logan began hyperventilating, "Jeremy please calm him down!" I begged him and ran inside to Selinda. She was on the floor near the kitchen, I tried helping her up but I couldn't really carry her. I just had to wait until the paramedics came.
When they took her away, Logan wanted to go with her and I told him I would meet him later in the hospital. He nodded his head and went in the back of the paramedics van with our Aunt Selinda, she'd be okay, I had to have faith in that. I had to hide my worry from Logan, he couldn't see me being weak.
Jeremy was staying to be polite but you could tell he had something to do himself, he looked anxious, "Jeremy what's wrong? My Aunt Selinda will be okay." I said with a smile even though I knew his answer even before he said it.
"It's Vicki, she hasn't talked to me in hours. I'm worried about her so I was ganna head to her house and you live close to her and so I walked past. I couldn't leave Logan looking like that, he's my best friend." I looked at him shocked, this was news to me, was Logan taking drugs too? I'm not going to ask Jeremy that, he would just lie even if my brother had been taking illegal substances. I'll ask Stefan to watch them for me later as a favor.
"Well I have to be going, I hope you find Vicki soon." I smile at him.
"Thanks Raquel." he left quickly. After he left I ran inside and grabbed Damon's daylight ring and rushed back into my car and sped to the Salvatore house.
I walk into the house with the ring in hand. I walk into the parlor room to find Damon drinking, "Ah so there you are my lovely Raquel!" Damon rose with a smirk on his face, "Now my ring, please." Damon said reaching for my hand that held it.
"Where's Vicki?" I asked scared for the worst.
"She went to Jeremy's house." Damon assured me.
"So she's okay?" I pressed him.
He rolled his eyes, "Depends on your definition of fine," he snatches the ring from me, "Now I'm off." He left before i could even blink an eye.
I quickly call Stefan and asked if he was at Elena's house and he confirmed he indeed was but now tracking Vicki, "So you haven't you seen Vicki there?" I asked sadly.
"No I did, but she's in transition into becoming a vampire. I'm assuming this is Damon's doing." Stefan said furiously.
"DAMN HIM!" I screamed punching the wall near me, "IS everything just a god damn game to him? If I was a vampire I would kill him." I said threw clenched teeth.
"I know, but what is most important is to find Vicki."
"Alright I'll get in my car and search for Vicki too."
"No I think it would be better for you to follow Damon, he may be trying to find me even though you gave him back the ring. He might want to taunt me or whatever else Damon loves to do. But don't let him know your following him." Stefan warned me.
"Understood. But how will I find him?"
"He will assume I'm still with Elena, try her house first and just park outside."
"Okay we'll regroup later." I said hanging up and rushing toward my car and sped my way to Elena's house and just as I arrived, I saw Damon enter the house with Elena at the door, by this time she knew everything. Even though Stefan assured me that she wouldn't be mad I was so curious to talk to her and find out myself. I just had to be patient I told myself.
Damon after a few minutes headed out of Elena's house and went into his car, I wonder why he drove anywhere when he could run at super speed? Maybe it was just a possession thing since it was a really beautiful old school black Chevy Impala.
He drove out near the woods close to where the druggies were burned alive, Damon came to cover up his own tracks of sucking them dry, I assumed. He ran into the forest and I followed him as fast as I could, I'm almost positive he could tell I was there, he could smell me. But he had bigger things on his mind than me.
Finally we reached the spot and Vicki screamed, "No!" just in time Damon grabbed Logan Fell's wrist which stopped him from stabbing Stefan with a wooden stake and fed from Logan Fell. I rushed over to Stefan to help him, "Stefan are you okay?!" he was in so much pain you could tell in his eyes.
"I'll be fine I just need this bullet out of me and I'll heal and be okay."
"I don't know how to do that." I said panicky.
"Move." Damon pushed me out of the way and grabbed the bullet out with his hands easily. I watched and then I noticed Vicki was eying Logan Fell's dead body, possibly some blood left in it.
Damon examined the bullet he took out of Stefan, "It's wood, they know about us. Also if anyone is going to be killing you it's going to be me. But just for good measure," Damon punched Stefan in the face with gruesome strength, "Don't hide my things from me again, got it?"
I looked up and over at Vicki feeding on Logan Fell's dead body, "Vicki NOOO!" Stefan screamed.
Vicki looks up and all of us and whispers, "I'm sorry..." and got up and ran away.
"Oops," Damon said innocently and walked over to the Gilbert watch on the floor grabbed it and left Stefan and I there.
"C'mon, we have to leave." I said as I helped Stefan to his feet and we made our way back to my car leaving Logan Fell's rotting corpse behind.
We drove back to Elena's house and I helped Stefan up her porch stairs and she saw us, "Your bleeding!" she exclaimed as she ran over to Stefan and I.
"No it's okay now. I'm okay." Elena looked between Stefan and I.
"We couldn't stop it. She fed on blood Elena. I'm so sorry." Elena just looked like she was on the verge of tears.
"What does that mean?" Elena said trying to deny what she obviously already knew.
Stefan looked grief sticken, "She fed. And then we lost her, she's a vampire now."
"Omg..." Elena looked around not knowing what to do.
"Raquel and I will find her, I will show her how to not feed or hurt people. 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?! Or anyone? A-and Matt?!" Elena yelled
"We'll come up with a story! Everything will be okay Elena!" I said grabbing her shoulders.
"You mean we'll come up with a lie Raquel," she turned toward Stefan, "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 just can't." they looked at each other for awhile, "Raquel come inside, we need to talk alone." Elena said to me. I follow her inside and look back at Stefan grieving for him. I word the words with my mouth, 'Text me. I'll try to convince her to give you another chance.'
He nodded and went to leave. I didn't know if Elena and I would still be friends after this, I'd like to think so but maybe she just wants to know why I didn't tell her about Stefan and Damon before Stefan told her.
Once we got inside Elena looked at me with tears in her eyes and just broke down in front on my eyes into my arms. I guess we were still friends after all, I took her up to her room and just let her cry in my arms until she fell asleep.
In the morning Elena wanted to head over to Stefan's to see how long everyone would go around looking for Vicki, since it was clearly affecting Jeremy's focus in school, so she worried for him. Which is totally understandable because my brother Logan is helping Jeremy since apparently they are best friends now and Logan wants to help his dear friend and won't listen to reason. So Elena and I went over there, little and behold the one to open the door was the incredibly annoying Salvatore brother, Damon smiling his trademark smile.
"Where's Stefan?" I say walking in past Damon into the house and Elena following behind me. "And good morning to you team mission impossible."
"How can you be so arrogant and glib after everything you have done?" Elena asked Damon, venom dripping from her voice.
"And how can you be so stupid as to call a vampire arrogant and glib." Damon said reflecting Elena's tone.
"If you wanted me dead, I'd be dead." Elena pointed out sharply.
"Yes you would."
"But she's not." I said smiling with anger.
"Yet!" Damon retorted.
"Enough where is he?" I demanded Damon turned to me and smiled kindly, "He's upstairs singing the Rain in Spain." Damon smirked at his own joke, typical, "Knock yourself out." he said as he walked out the front door and left us standing in the doorway of the house.
"Stefan...? Stefan..." Elena called out. Stefan came down the stairs, "Yes?"
"Where's Vicki?" Elena questioned.
"She's upstairs." he replied.
"What happens now, because mine and Raquel's brothers are out searching for her with the rest of the town. What do I tell him?" Elena said with silent fury.
"I'm working with her but it's going to take time. She has a very impulsive personality. She's a drug user and all that will play a part in how she responses to this. " Stefan assured.
"So a vampire with drug issues, wonderful. Stefan seriously though we can't keep this up forever." I admitted for once disagreeing with him.
"What are we suppose to do, I am lying to everyone that I care about. What's ganna happen to her?" Elena questioned.
"I'm going to keep her here with me until I know she is safe." Stefan tried to assure both of us.
Out of no where we all hear a voice saying, "How long is that?" we all turn to look up at the top of the stairs to see Vicki.
"We can talk about that later." Stefan replied to her question.
"Hey, Vicki, how are you?" Elena asked filled with genuine concern.
"How am I?" Vicki repeated sarcastically, "You're kidding right?" Vicki retorted.
"Hey Vicki she was just concerned no need to be rude." I pointed out loudly while glaring at her. She ignored me.
We walked over to the dining room table so we could talk about some of the tips and tricks for Vicki to learn so she could keep her secret of being a vampire.
"Coffee is our friend, it's the caffeine, it circulates through our veins and will warm our bodies so we are not so cold to the touch." Stefan told Vicki.
"Well what if I want to drink human blood." Vicki asked and me being fed up with her thick skull told her, "Vicki the point of this is, sorry you won't be drinking human blood. Not if you want to be around normal people and have normal relationships, otherwise you'll just want to kill all humans all the time. Don't you get it?" I said with a tone thick with sarcasm and glaring at her, ever since I came to Mystic Falls I didn't like Vicki one bit. She is all over Tyler because she wants to be loved but feels she can only get it though physical means but then strings people like Jeremy along because she really would rather have someone like Jeremy, it's all very stupid in my mind. She's an idiot in my book.
Vicki returned my gaze and Stefan rolled his eyes at my temper and continued, "You're going to have to learn to live with that constant urge and fight it on a daily basis one day at a time."
"Ugh don't start with the whole twelve steps thing, school counselor has been down that road and it doesn't work with me." Vicki said flat-out
"It can work. It's your choice Vicki." Stefan assured her.
"So you've never tasted human blood?" Vicki pointed out, I knew that wasn't true. I knew all about Stefan's past of being the Ripper. Very gruesome time in my dear friends life, I read all his journals about it. Well I was still reading them because he trusted me and I just was always fascinated by how humans minds work, so who could blame me when I wanted to know how vampire's minds work as well.
"Not in a long time..."
"How long?" Vicki pressed on.
"Years and years. I'm not proud of my past behavior." Stefan admitted and Elena stared at him for a bit really gauging his reactions to Vicki's questions.
"Ugh does this painful feeling ever go away? It feels like I have a massive hangover and this daylight thing is a bitch! UGHHHH I need more blood! Where's your bathroom I have to pee, why do I have to pee I thought I was dead?" Vicki rambled on and Stefan pointed the way to her and she went.
Elena sighed and I just rolled my eyes at Vicki.
"I'm gonna, uh get her some more," Stefan said awkwardly exchanging glances with us, "Right so I'll be quick." he left on that note leaving Elena and I at the table.
"We have to think of something, it can't be like this forever Raquel." Elena pointed out.
I nodded my head in agreement, "I know, Logan is following Jeremy like a lost puppy and it worries me they both have addictive personalities. Not to mention Vicki will want to see Jeremy and that puts him in danger." I said looking coldly at the table as I spoke.
Just then Vicki came into the room and Elena and I stood up.
"False alarm. My body's feeling really funky. It's a good funk but it's weird." Vicki said as she picked up her phone, I studied her and was about to say something but Elena beat me to it, "Who are you calling?" Elena asked Vicki.
"Jeremy." Vicki replied innocently.
"Earth to Vicki, how much of a block head are you. You are a vampire you can't see Jeremy anymore or any human at least until you can control your hunger for blood." I said harshly.
"Oh, please both of you don't you start. I'm gonna see whoever I wanna see."
"Even though you could hurt him?" asked Elena perplexed by Vicki's attitude.
"I would never hurt Jeremy." Vicki assured.
"Oh please Vicki don't you watch those vampire movies, that's now how it works. You don't just magically control yourself even if it's for someone you love." I spat.
"I can't take that risk, Vicki. He's my brother. You're going to have to let Jeremy go." Elena said boldly.
Vicki looked at Elena and I has if we we're mentally challenged for trying to oppose what she wanted, "Oh, really? And how long enough have you been preparing the you're-not-good-enough speech? I'm assuming it predates the whole vampire thing."
"All I'm saying is Jeremy is not getting involved in any of this." Elena stated as Vicki looked like she wanted to die of laughter in a very sarcastic way
"Best listen to what she's saying Vick." I went along with what Elena said but said it in such a way it almost sounded like a threat.
"Or what?" Vicki asked her tone dripped with poison all the while she smiled at Elena.
"Of else you are gonna be one sorry-" Vicki cut me off my yelling at her by grabbing my neck and saying, "Let's get one thing straight you perky little bitch. I've never liked how you've looked down on me or how you think everyone needs to listen to you run your mouth. I'm tired of it. Don't fuck with me or else and I'm gonna see Jeremy when I want to see Jeremy because I have some fun new toys to play with and I won't think twice about ripping your pretty little head off. You got it?" Vicki threatened me and let go as I sat gasping for air and Elena rushed to my side. I was furious, I wanted to destroy her. I sat glaring as she walked away and Elena kept asking me if I was fine. I finally assured her I was okay and I told her I'd get some fresh air, she said she'd go get Stefan.
"She threatened me Stefan! How the fuck can you defend her?!" I screamed at Stefan, he had never seen me this angry before, or well not at him since I am a very short tempered and loud person who doesn't really have a filter.
"She's on edge. Imagine ever sense in your body operating at super-speed. I mean, she's uncomfortable in her own skin. Now throw in her other issues-" Elena cut him off as he was trying to calm me down, "How long before it settles? Hours? Day? Weeks?" she asked in exhaustedly.
"There's no rulebook." Stefan pointed out.
"Well how long before you learned to control it?" asked Elena desperately.
Stefan looked down, "A while, but I didn't have anybody helping me. I had to do it on my own. The thing is, it's hard to resist certain people, especially when you're new. It's difficult to seperate your feelings: love, lust, anger, desire. It can all blur into one urge: hunger."
"Stefan I don't care if she's scared and alone, doesn't mean she can go around killing and or choking people I said as I rubbed my neck glaring our at the wide open grass lawn they had. It was such a huge front yard. They lived way out by themselves with no neighbors near the woods.
"Yeah what does that even mean Stefan? All she feels is hunger?" Elena asked.
"I'm not condoning what she does Raquel, just trying to help you understand her and Elena it means Jeremy can't see her, not now. She might not be able to resist him and she could hurt him." Stefan pointed out.
"Or worse..." Elena said filled with worry, I put my hands in my face and ran my hands through my hair, this was just exhausting. First we had to worry about Damon reeking havoc and now we have to worry about Vicki too.
"I'm not gonna let anybody get hurt." Stefan promised us.
"I need to get going." Elena said with a voice that made her sound very tired.
Stefan looked to her and pleaded, "Elena..."
"Please, Stefan, there's only so much I can take. Raquel you coming?" Elena said as she headed to her car.
"Yeah I have to check on my Aunt Selinda and go to the Hospital." Elena stopped in her tracks asking, "Is she okay? Do you want me to go with you?"
"No it's fine she should be okay my brother has been texting me updating me, she had a mild heart attack and has to stay over night but she should be home tomorrow. No worries." I said trying to see calm, even though Logan said she was fine I was still worried.
Walking into the hospital room my aunt was in Logan was sitting next to her side looking down at her worried.
"Hey, how's she doing?" I ask as I sat down next to him patting him back.
"She's just sleeping now. She was up talking to me earlier, the doctors say she's fine but I wanted stay to make sure."
"We should go home and eat dinner and sleep. We have school tomorrow."
"I'm not going to school until Vicki is found. I promised Jeremy!" Logan told me in protest.
"Logan you have to focus on school, these are crucial times in your life. Vicki will be found. Selinda wouldn't like you not going to school, would she?" he looked down at her and shook his head, "No she'd bite my head off."
"Exactly. Come on, I'll buy you Jack in the Box for dinner."
After I bought him dinner and took him home, I told him I'd be out for a bit but would be back later. It was about 7pm at this time so I decided to go to the Halloween Dance at school. I was wearing one of my old ones from previous years, I was suppose to be Yoko from one of my favorite animes, Gurren Lagann. I put up the whole red wig get up and he some what slutty bikini top and short short with white like go-go boots. I parked my car out in front of the school.
I caught Stefan walking around trying to find something. I run up to him, "Hey what are you doing here?" I asked.
He looked me up and down and smiled, "If I wasn't in a hurry to find Vicki I'd laugh at how provocative your outfit is."
"Oh great where the hell is Vicki?!" I said exasperatedly.
"She came here to the party to get to Jeremy. Vicki left my house and went to Matt's and she convinced Matt to let her come as long as he could watch her and she ditched him. I have to find her."
"I'll help you." We immediately went around looking for her, finally we found her wandering around looking very hungry and not completely in control of herself. We followed her into a classroom she ran into. She immediately noticed our presences and turned around glaring.
"What your following me now?"
"You didn't really give me much of a choice." Stefan stated coldly.
She turned to me, "And why are you even here? Didn't you get the message when I choked you?"
"Bite me!" I yelled sticking my tongue out.
"Don't tempt me." She said to me as she tried to leave but Stefan blocked her path.
"Let me out of here!" She demanded.
"You shouldn't be here. Crowds like this, it makes it even harder for you to keep yourself under control," said Stefan in a stern voice.
"I'm fine." Vicki guaranteed.
"Really?"
"Mm-hm."
"No headache? Your stomach's not screaming at you? You're not feeling lightheaded, anxious or cranky? Like if someone looks at you the wrong way, you could rip their head off?" Stefan began raising his voice, Vicki began to breath heavily, "Do you want to know what that's called? It's called hunger. It's going to get worse and worse every minute that you pretend like it's not controlling you. Now let's get out of her before you hurt someone." He told her and grabbed her arm as if she were some child that had to be punished. I followed them both out and we all met up with Elena who happened to be wearing a nurse costume.
"Thank god."
"What's the matter?" Stefan asked Elena as we walked up to her.
"I lost track if Jeremy. I was worried." Elena explained.
"What's going on?" Matt came up out of no where probably wondering why Stefan was holding Vicki's arm.
"Everything's fine Matt." I promised him.
"I told you to quit bothering me." Vicki said so she could make Matt think we were badgering Vicki.
"Vicki don't do that. We are only trying to help you." I said out of frustration. Vicki turned to Matt with pleading puppy dog eyes, "Matt he won't leave me alone."
"You need to back off." Matt threatened Stefan.
"Matt, it's okay." Elena assured him.
"No it's not okay Elena, What the hell is your problem?!" Matt yelled at Stefan.
Before anyone could realize it Vicki disappeared with her vampire speed, "Stefan she's gone!" At that Elena started running for her, Stefan and I followed, Matt included since he was trying to pick a fight with Stefan. Matt grabbed Stefan's shoulder and Stefan took Matt shoulders and pushed him to a wall screaming, "I'm trying to help her!" They exchanged angry glances and Stefan and I went after Elena and Vicki.
Going every which way we tried our hardest to find Vicki or Jeremy, we even split up Elena and I and Stefan went off alone but we just couldn't seem to find them anywhere, until Elena and I ran outside to the sound of Jeremy screaming. Elena and I grabbed some wood to protect ourselves as we attempt to save Jeremy.
"Vicki, no!" Elena screamed, Vicki looked up at us and started to charge toward Elena. I pushed Elena down and out of the way so Vicki would come after me instead. I ran to meet Vicki and tried hitting her with my chunk of wood but to no avail she grabbed me by the throat and threw me a few feet away. I stay up in a daze as Vicki went to go after Elena and Stefan grabbed her before she could take more than another step. I turned to Jeremy and he was getting up and all his face told me was that he was in shock of what was happening. Elena stood up slowly and i after her.
"Vicki!" Jeremy screamed, as he did she threw Stefan off of her and somehow disappeared. We all looked around for her.
"Get inside now! Go!" Stefan yelled Elena grabbed Jeremy and ran for the side door to the school. But they barely made it and Vicki grabbed for Jeremy.
"Elena watch out!" I yelled to her as Vicki grabbed her and bite her neck, hearing Elena scream in terror. I ran to her instinctively and purely running on adrenaline. I grabbed the wooden stick near me and stabbed Vicki in the heart, she slowly let go of Elena and she sunk to the ground as her face turned gray and still as she whimpered. I pulled the stick out and Stefan ran up as we all watched her die before our eyes.
"VICKI! VICKI! VICKI NO!" Jeremy ran to her side and wailed her name but Stefan stopped him and held him back away from the dead corpse that was once Vicki. He continued to yell her name continuously.
"Jeremy needs to get out of here." I said finally
"I'll take him home." Elena said as she grabbed Jeremy and Stefan followed them to make sure they got home safely. Stefan then began to call someone on the phone, who I didn't know. I just stayed and looked at Vicki's lifeless corpse. I didn't like Vicki much but I would never wish this upon anyone. It just wasn't fair to her. This was all Damon's fault, all this pain and suffering! It was all his fault, just so he could satisfy his boredom. How could I ever think I could understand him or possibly like him. He's sick and selfish and has no respect for others.
"Damn him." I said to myself out loud. I crouched down next to Vicki silently praying for her to feel at peace.
"You should go. I got this." I look up and see Damon himself, 'Speak of the devil,' I thought to myself feeling my anger rising.
"You did this. This is all your fault..." I looked at him with the deadliest glare I could muster.
"You confuse me for someone with remorse." He replied coldly.
In a sudden rush of fury I try to push him with all my might but he doesn't move an inch. So I try slapping him but he catches my hand and starts putting it down crushing it, "None of this matters to me. None of it." he says as he throws my hand down.
"People die around you. How the fuck does that not matter to you?! Oh right your a vindictive, selfish, heartless bastard. I hate you. I HATE YOU! How I could ever think you were anything but that-"
"But what?" he asked looking as if he was seething with rage at me previous words, "I'm not Stefan I will never be Stefan. I have no emotions or remorse for anyone. Get use to it. Also don't flatter yourself, I could never like a child like you." His words gave me a cold slap to the face. I was angry at myself for having tears in my eyes from his words alone, "It matters and you know you!-" I say as I slap him and actually land a hit this time. Damon slowly looks toward me and gives me a glare that almost made me run for my life, "Mm. You need to leave. Your wounds are bleeding and you need to leave..."
I walk away not wanting to press him any further. I hold my wounded side and Matt comes running toward me, "Hey Raquel! Whoa...what happened to you?" Matt asked full of concern.
"It's nothing to jackass threw fake blood on me. No biggie."
"I can't find Vicki. She totally bailed on me." He said urgently.
I look to Matt trying to hide my remorse for him since he will never know what happened to his sister, know that she's dead and never coming back, "I don't know where she is." I replied.
Matt looked around in a sad and angry way, "Is this what I'm in for? A lifetime of worrying about her?" Matt wondered out loud.
"You're a good brother Matt. She's lucky to have you." I said with a sad smile.
"Yeah, maybe she went home." Matt sounded like he was trying to convince himself rather than me.
"Maybe." I weakly assured him.
He looked at me for a minute, "Okay." was all he said and then he walked off. I went to my car and began crying at all of todays events. Damon's words, Vicki Dying, all of it. I was so sick of all of this. I thought I could handle it, but it's too much.
After I calmed myself down I went over to Elena's house, I saw Stefan sitting outside by himself.
"Where is everyone?" I asked him worried.
"There fine...it's just that Elena is inside holding Jeremy, he's really in bad shape over Vicki."
I look at the front door wondering if I should go in there, but decided against it.
"I just wish it didn't have to be this way or that no one had to get hurt..." I said looking down as I sat next to Stefan.
"Me too." was all he replied.
Elena walked outside in a blanket, "Are you guys okay?"
We stood up, "I wanted to help her," Stefan said as he looked into Elena's eyes, "But instead..." They both had tears in there eyes as I had earlier.
"How's Jeremy Elena." I finally spoke up.
"He's a mess. I don't want him going through this again, he's just a kid." Elena spoke desperately.
"Elena, what can I do? I-what can I do to help? I'll do anything." Stefan pleaded with her.
Elena looked up to him and said, "Can you make him forget?" She asked hopefully.
"Elena..."
"Please Stefan. I don't know how he'll ever get past this. I just want him to forget everything that happened."
"If I did it, there's no guarantee that it would work. Because of who I am because of how I live. I don't have the ability to do it right..."
Out of no where Damon comes up to Elena's porch saying, "I can do it." We all turn to looked at him. I give him the coldest glare as I can and he returns the glare with a look of some kind of remorse, but I think I was the only one to catch it, "If this is what you want...I'll do it."
"It's what I want." Elena concluded to Stefan and I.
"What do you want him to know?" Damon asked Elena.
"I want you to tell him that Vicki left town and she's not coming back. That he shouldn't look for her or worry about her. He's gonna miss her, but he knows it's for the best." Elena told Damon as Stefan went to sit back down on the patio chair.
"Elena are you sure it's okay to be taking this memory away? I mean sure it will make sure he isn't sad over it. But your taking away his free will..." I questioned this whole idea, I don't think it's right to take away memories even if it would make them not hurt anymore. I don't think I could do that to my own brother.
"It's what is best Raquel," she told my boldly as she went to go sit next to Stefan.
Damon came out, "It's done." Elena went inside and slammed her door shut leaving the three of us on the porch to ponder what had happened tonight.
