*AN* Hope you liked the last chapter! Thinking about the tv show, (and if you haven't seen episode 6 yet, don't read any further until the recap!) I can't believe that Stefan broke up with Elena! But Stelena will always be here! Hehe :) Hope you like this chapter!
Recap:
"I love you, Stefan Salvatore. Do not ever forget that." He smiled and replied "I love you too. And I won't." We both chuckled. I got out of the car and Stefan drove off.
Chapter 9
Bonnie's POV
I was not at school for just under two weeks, and the whole time I was researching about vampire hunters. After hours of research each day, I would end up falling asleep on the couch. It came to friday evening, and I was wide awake. I have no idea why, because I had been awake since early this morning. But beside me wondering why I wasn't sleepy, I was reading through which I think was a book I had already been through, and it revealed what I had been looking for all along. The cure for hunters. The book read:
"For a hunter to stop hunting after ones genes have set in, they must become one of the creature they are hunting."
This is it. I found it. But Stefan wouldn't want to become a vampire, to stop the hunting. It was a 50/50 chance. For all we know, the gene was stopped at Damon when he was turned, and Stefan has nothing to worry about. But Stefan could have the gene, and it could be started when he makes his first kill. Then he would have to live like a hunter and kill his own brother and his lover, or become a vampire. I need to tell them.
Elena's POV
It was finally Friday. After nearly two weeks of pulling my hair out over waiting for some news from Bonnie, the school week was finally over. I drove home in silence. Stefan hadn't spoken to me in a few days- maybe it was because I hadn't seen him. When I last saw him, he seemed ill, and didn't look too good. He was pale, and grotty, and just didn't feel right in himself. I got home and both Jenna and Jeremy were out. The whole house to myself. I made myself a drink of bourbon, and sat down on the couch. I sat there daydreaming for what felt like hours, but ended up only being about 20 minutes. I was taken away from my thoughts when my phone buzzed in my jeans pocket. It was Bonnie ringing me.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Elena. Its Bonnie. Get over here now. On your own."
"Ok I'll be over soon."
"Bye"
Well that was short and quick. After I put the phone down, I finished the rest of my drink and ran at vampire speed to Bonnie's. I was at hers within a few seconds. I knock on the door, and the door opened only a moment after I knocked. Surprisingly enough, it was Stefan who answered the door. I walked in and saw Bonnie sitting on the couch. She didn't say a word when I walked in.
"Bonnie?" I said.
"Yeah? Oh hey Elena." She answered.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine. I'm just... Thinking."
"Ok. So what did you want to tell me?" I asked, getting concerned.
"Oh yeah. Well. I have a way of curing Stefan if he does go psycho and try and kill you or another vampire." She replied, very quietly.
"What? What is it? Is it a spell?"
"No. It's... It's a bit more that that."
"Bonnie. Tell me now." Stefan said, angrily.
"Ok, ok. Calm down." Bonnie replied to Stefam's anger.
"Uhh... Ok. Well. If Stefan is a vampire hunter, and he does go psycho after making his first kill, he... He...-"
"Tell us!" I blurted out.
"He has to become a vampire!" Bonnie screamed back. Silence fell on the room. Bonnie sank back in her seat. Stefan and I froze. We were all shocked, stunned and distraught. How could this be? After a few moments of thoughts flooding into our minds, I broke the silence.
"Ho- how do you- how do you know this?" I asked with a stutter in my voice, also with a little bit of sadnees.
"Its in one of the books. Its open on the table." She replied quietly.
Stefan ran over to the table, the first move from him since Bonnie told us and grabbed the book off the table before I could get to it.
"For a hunter to stop hunting after ones genes have set in, they must become one of the creature they are hunting." He read aloud.
"So for me to stop hunting, I have to become one of them? A bloodsucking monster?" He screamed at Bonnie, while pointing at me. I was upset and hurt by him referring to me like that. How dare he call me that? I am nothing like Damon.
"I am nothing like your brother." I said to him, tears streaming down my face. I ran out of the door at vampire speed before they could stop me.
How dare he call me that? 'A bloodsucking monster'? How disgusting! I am not like Damon. He drinks off people like they are a normal drink of water. I don't drink blood and drain humans of their lives. I don't drink human blood. I only do a few times a year now. And that was only from Bonnie when she put her blood in a cup. But Damon drained people of their souls. He compels them and then kills them. I'm not like him. And to think that Stefan, the person who I cared for and loved, thinks of me like that? How dare he. I love him, but this has hurt and thoroughly upset me.
Stefan's POV
When Elena ran out of the room and out of Bonnie's house, it hit me. What have I just done? Did I really just say that to Elena? How could I do that to her? I ran after her after the door slammed shut, screaming 'Elena! Elena come back!' , but by the time I got to the door and opened it, she was long gone. I had really screwed up. I stood at the door and let my head slump. Bonnie came to the door and realised that she had gone.
"It's ok, Stefan. You didn't mean it. You were just in a rage."
"It's not ok. I just said that the person I love is a blood sucking monster, and that I never wanted to become one, in the harshest way possible. How could I do that to her?" I was starting to cry now.
"Shh. Don't cry, Stefan. You didn't mean it. Elena will understand."
"But that's not the point. I wasn't lying. I don't want to become a vampire. I don't wanna be like Damon." I confessed, tears streaming down my face.
"Even if you did become a vampire, you wouldn't be like Damon. Elena could teach you." Bonnie told me. "And it might not even have to happen. You might not be a hunter. This is just precautionary."
"I still can't believe that I said that to her. She... She is nothing like that. She is too nice and kind to take another person's life, just for the thrill of it. I... I'm sorry..." I said, tears continuing to fall to the floor from my face.
"It shouldn't be me your apologising too." She said. Tears began to roll down my face. "Shhh." Bonnie said, grabbing me and giving me a hug, trying to comfort me.
"Thank you, Bonnie. I need... I need to apologise to Elena. Thanks for finding this all out."
"It's ok. I hope everything goes ok with you and Elena." She replied.
I smiled and turned to walk towards the car. As I did so, I muttered to my self
'Yeah. So do I."
I drove off from Bonnie's house while I had thoughts running through my mind like water rushing down a river. What am I going to say to Elena when I arrive there? I'm sorry? Because that gonna work isn't it. I had thought like this for the entire time I was driving to her house. I got to her house and pulled up outside. I sat in the car for a few moments and took in a few deep breaths. After a few minutes, I climbed out of the car and walked up to the door. I knocked and Jeremy answered. He opened the door and sighed.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Where's Elena?" I fired back.
"Upset. She's been like it all week because of you. Go-"
"I'm sorry I have to see her."
I barged into the house and ran up the staircase to her bedroom. As I got closer and closer to her room, I heard the sounds of the soft wimpering coming from her room. My heart shattered at the sound. It deafened me to hear her soft cries. I knocked on her bedroom door, and she just wimpered.
"Elena? It's me." I said. At the sound of my voice she just cried even more. I walked in and she was sitting on the floor by her bed. She had makeup all down her face. Seeing her like that made my heart sink to the floor. I walked over to her and she just put her head in between her legs.
"Elena?" I asked.
"What!" She screamed back at me.
"I'm so sorry, please hear m-"
"Stefan I think you should go." Jeremy said, standing at the door.
"No Jeremy. I am staying until this is sorted." I replied. Elena just stayed silent.
"Jeremy, I can handle this." Elena said calmly. Jeremy left and shut the door, giving me an evil glare as he left.
"Elena, plea-"
"Just shut up for a moment." She interrupted. For only a few moments, we were silent. Thoughts were flowing through my mind.
"Look, Elena-"
"Stefan-"
"No Elena let me speak. Please." She nodded in response.
"I didn't mean what I said. I was angry and upset. I promise I didn't mean to compare you to Damon. I don't want to become like him. You have seen what he is like. He is the blood sucking monster. Not you. I'm so, so sorry."
The words made her cringe.
"It's not what you said. I don't particularly care. You only told the truth."
"No I didn't. You are not like him."
"I'm not now. But I was before. I have been alive for nearly 160 years. When I first became a vampire in 1864, I was a bloodsucking monster. I used to enjoy sucking the life out of people. But I learned how to control it. Not before I had killed hundreds of people though. What you said today just reminded me of my darkest days. You opened my eyes to what I am. I am a monster. And I can't stop it. So I thank you. Thank you for reminding me who I really am." Tears started to fall from her face again.
"Thank me? I... I don't-" And then I saw it. She had hundreds of needles filled with a yellowy grey liquid.
"Elena? What the hell is that in the syringes?" I asked nervously.
"Wolves venom." She said innocently.
"Wait... Why are you injecting yourself with wolves venom?"
And then it hit me.
"Your trying to kill yourself!? Elena! We need help!" I cried out, my heart racing. I had read up on ways to kill Damon before other than staking him.
"No! Stefan please don't. Its for the best!" She hollared at me.
"No! You can't die!" I ran out of the room and flew down the staircase to find Jenna and Jeremy had gone out. Great. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and rang Bonnie.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Bonnie! Elena has injected herself with wolves venom! What do I do!?" I screamed down the phone.
"Ok calm down. Firstly, she needs blood. And lots of it. Feed her some of yours for now, then we will sort out everything else after. Ill be there asap."
"Ok." I put the phone down and ran upstairs. I stopped before I got to the door. I was gonna let her feed off me? No. Ill think of another way. I walked in and she has passed out of the floor. I ran over to her and shook her. No response. I picked up one of the syringes off the floor, ran into her bathroom and rinsed it out. I stabbed the needle into my arm and sucked out some of my blood. I ran back to Elena and pulled the plug out of the top of the syringe. I poured a few drops of the blood onto her mouth, and she responded. She licked the blood off her mouth and drank the rest out of the syringe. She opened her eyes, but was still too weak to move. I picked her up off the floor and placed her gently on the bed. The veins under her eyes were still out. I realised I was still bleeding profusely. I went into the bathroom and wrapped a towel around my arm. When I came back, she had pulled herself up, but was still weak. She smiled at me, but looked terribly upset.
"I'm so sorry, Elena." I said quietly. Just then, Bonnie walked in the door downstairs. She ran up the stairs and barged into Elena's room.
