"Do I have to go to go to school? What's so good about it either way?" My 12 year old brother complained while following me to the kitchen. Stefan's been complaining all morning since I dragged him out of bed.

"How many times do I have to tell you? Yes!" I said annoyed while walking into the room. I went straight to the refrigerator with all the blood bags were.

"And either way, why don't you want to go?" I ask while grabbing a bloodbag. Last time I checked, Stefan was one of the "popular kids" at school. Don't even ask me how that happened.

"I just...Don't want to." He finally answered uneasy, while staring at the blood bag.

"How can you drink that?" He asked with disgust. Stefan hated the sight of blood which again, I also don't know why.

"It's called staying alive." I say while leaving the room, hoping our conversation was over, but as always, it's never over.

"So...Can I stay home?" He asked while following me out the room again. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"No!" I yelled back. Why are pre teens so damn annoying? Stefan must have finally gave up because he gave a groan, grabbed his stuff, and left the house. I just hope that he's heading towards school.

Stefan's P.O.V

Instead of trying to get Damon into a good mood, I annoyed him. At least I tried.

Right now, I'm walking down the street, thinking if I should go to school or not. I've never ditched, but I'm getting a bad feeling about going to school. Lately, I've been getting these creepy nightmares. I see an older teenager that I've never seen before that was a vampire, feeding off these innocent people. Even though I'm a bad kid at school, probably Damon's fault, I hate hurting people. Especially if it contains blood.

I finally stop walking when I reach the part where I have to choose, where there is two paths. At my left is the way into the woods and the other was school. I looked up at the sky. No sun, just cloudiness, like it's going to rain. I gave a sigh and started heading towards school when I heard leaves rustling, coming from the woods. I stopped and stared at it, when I suddenly saw a man coming towards me, with fangs. I perfectly knew what that meant. I started running as fast as I can but the man used his speed and landed right in front of me.

"Hello, Stefan Salvatore." The man said with a deep voice and a devilish smile. I started backing away until the man rushed over me and punched me hard with his strength, causing me to black out.

Damon's P.O.V

My first thought was, I am going to kill him. Stefan's school just called me, saying that he never showed up. What does it take for a kid to understand?


I've looked everywhere and there is still no sign of him. Where can a 11 year old go? I know there was something up with Stefan but not major enough that even I couldn't find him.

Stefan's P.O.V

I gasped out, waking myself up. My face hurt so much, it's probably bruised. It probably took a second for me to realize what was going on. I remember I got kidnapped by a vampire. I looked around and saw I was in a dark room. My hands and feet are tied around chains that was connected to the wall, making me able to move just a few feet. Even though no one was hurting me right now, I started panicking.

"Get me out of here!" I started yelling while slamming my fists onto the wall. I was breathing rapidly, thinking about the worst things that can happen to me. I kept on yelling the same thing but I was pretty sure no one will be able to hear me.

"Damon!" I finally yelled out hopelessly while kicking the wall. All I wanted was for my brother to come get me and take me home. Also, he'll probably be the only one able to hear me.

After about 15 minutes, I finally gave up and slumped myself to the ground. I hadn't even realized that I was crying until I touched my cheek, where the bruise was. A few seconds later, the door opened and the vampire who had took me came in. I quickly got up and tried to get away from him as much as possible.

"Can you cut that out?! Even as a kid you are so damn annoying!" The man yelled out while approaching me. What does he mean even as a kid?

"Wh-Who are you?" I stuttered while walking backwards, my back almost reaching the wall.

"I don't think that's the question you want to ask, Stefan. It should be, What am I going to do to you." He said while walking closer to me, making me finally get trapped with the wall behind me.

"I didn't do anything!" I yelled, terrified at him. That was probably a mistake because he quickly grabbed my neck, pinning me against the wall, making me not move an inch.

"YOU killed my family! You killed everyone I loved and made me into a vampire! The Ripper of Monterey! Stefan Salvatore, your getting more than getting killed!" The man yelled with anger and let go of me, dropping me to the floor. What was he talking about? I would never hurt anyone. The ripper of Monterey?

"I don't know what your talking about. I didn't hurt anyone." I said under my breath. The man looked down at me with a smirk.

"Then I guess your brother never told you the full story. Too bad your never going to hear it." He said with devil eyes. I looked down, not understanding. Damon? He would never lie to me. My thoughts got interuppted when the man suddenly grabbed me by my neck again.

"This is definitely going to hurt." He finally said and shoved me against the wall using his speed, making my arms get scraped by the concrete. He is definitely going to do more than just punching me.

Damon's P.O.V

It's been a few hours and there was still no sign of him. I probably checked the town twenty times already, he is definitely out of town or has a good hiding spot. Stefan wouldn't just run away and I kept on getting a bad feeling. I passed by the street that Stefan must have walked to go to school when I notice something I hadn't seen before. His backpack. It looked like someone tried hiding it under the bush.

"Hey you!" I yelled over to a women who lives in the house right in front of where Stefan's stuff were. She was about to enter her house until I stopped her.

"Yes?" She said with a smile while walking over to me.

"Do you by any chance see a kid about twelve years old walk by here in the morning?" I ask the lady. Her face suddenly turned pale.

"Um, no. I didn't." She quickly answered while quickly walking back to her house before I got a tight grip on her wrist.

"Answer the question. Truthfully." I compelled her.

"Yes. The boy was with a man. The man hurt him and took him away. Deep into the woods." The woman answered back in a trance. My body froze when she told me that. Someone took Stefan.

"Forget this conversation." I quickly compelled her and ran off before she can even blink. Let's just hope I'm not too late.

I ran through the woods, trying to find Stefan's heartbeat but I couldn't. I suddenly stopped, and saw stairs, leading down to a basement. I quickly went downstairs and it was really dark with a lot of rooms. I suddenly heard screaming and yelling.

"Stefan!" I yelled out, hoping he can hear me. I raced down the hallway and saw a woman who looked compelled. I ignored her and I opened the door from where the noise was coming from. My eyes widend when I saw inside. There was Stefan, collapsed on the floor tied to the wall with chains. He had a cut lip, cuts under his eyes, and bruises all over his body, he was losing a lot of blood. His eyes were closed and I can faintly hear his heartbeat. Whoever took him might have been beating him for hours.

"Stef!" I said worried and quickly broke the chains that were on him. He slowly opened his eyes which means he was still conscious. Stefan mumbled something but I couldn't hear him.

"What?" I asked him. I was sitting on the floor with his head resting against my chest. All I wanted to do was give him my blood but it wouldn't work with him.

"Behind you.." I faintly hear him say. As soon as I turn around, a man stakes me, inches away from my heart, the man groaned at his aim.

"I'm going to kill you!" I yelled at him with anger. Not only did he just stab me, he hurt my little brother!

I quickly grabbed the stake from my chest and rushed over to him and stabbed him an inch from his heart.

"Doesn't feel good, does it?" I whisper to him. I was stronger than him so it was easy to take him down. I then put my hand through his body and ripped his heart out.

I didn't even know his name but I hated him so much. When his face turned to lifeless with the last drop of blood leaving him, I ran back to Stefan. His heart was beating very slowly that even I can barely hear it.

"It's alright, Stef. I got you." I tried reassuring him. He looked horrible and I would've think he's dead if I couldn't hear his heartbeat. I put his arm around my shoulder so he can at least stand up. Stefan wasn't even moving.

"Come on, brother. Get up!" I said, getting worried at how his pulse was dropping. Stefan slowly shook his head.

"I can't, Damon." Stefan softly said while trying to stop himself from shrieking of pain. I stopped trying to get him up and he was sitting in the floor, with him resting his head on my chest again. I wanted to give him my blood but that won't work on him because of the stupid spell! There is only one thing that will help him that I fear the most. I didn't even know it was possible, but his heartbeat got slower.

"I don't want to die, Damon." Stefan said scared while tears streaming down his face, looking like he can barely breathe. And that was the only thing that he had to say that made me agree with my choice.

" I'm not going to let you die." I said back and took him off me, making him lean against the wall instead. I quickly got up and rushed out of the room.

"Damon.." He moaned in pain, wondering where I was going. I finally stopped, right in front of the woman.

"I'm sorry, but today's not your lucky day." I said and quickly grabbed her before she can say anything. I took her to where Stefan was, where his breathing was slowing down. I bit the woman's wrist, and I kneeled down next to Stefan, with the blood right in front of him.

"Drink!" I yelled to him. He furrowed his eyebrows thinking I was crazy. I never told him about the whole hybrid thing.

"What?" He got to ask, making him lose more energy. I knew this was one thing I wouldn't regret, even if he hates it so much, my brother is dieing and it's my fault. I quickly pushed the woman's wrist into his mouth, making him panic at what I was doing. He finally couldn't do anything, and he accidentally swallowed a drop of blood. He had energy to get the woman's arm off him and I saw his face. The veins popping out, eyes turning, and finally, his fangs. I smiled at all the bruises and cuts were healed. Suddenly, he quickly stood up, grabbed the woman again and continued drinking her blood, which made my face drop.

"Stefan, Stop!" I yelled trying to pull him away from her but I was too late, he drank her dry.

He looked at me one last time with his vampire face until he suddenly fainted, falling to the floor, completing his transition. I just created the ripper again.
