CHAPTER TEN: THE ANSWER

It's eleven in the morning when I finally manage to get out of bed. All those dreams really bothered me, but after the last one I managed to get some nice dreamless sleep. I'm still wondering what those dreams were about though, because I just can't believe that they were normal dreams that didn't mean anything at all. The situation about the bracelet is a big part of why I think this way. There are two possibilities for how it just appeared on my wrist again after Damon ripped it off when I was in his house. Either someone, probably him, broke into my house and put it on me. That might've been possible since I think those dreams I had kept me deep enough asleep for something like that to actually happen. But then I think of how he didn't go inside my house, and I've gotten an idea about that. The other option is that it had something to do with magic. It sounds unbelievable, but really, why not?

The dreams have all felt so real, and the things they've told me have all been things I've had confused memories of. But if it's possible for some to manipulate others' ability to remember things, how am I supposed to trust any of my memories? I look at the bracelet again, I was wearing that when Damon didn't walk into my house, and he told me not to remember. Maybe he was trying to make me forget, but the bracelet made him unable to. It doesn't sound like it makes sense, but nothing of this does, so whatever.

So is Damon a vampire? In two of the dreams he drank my blood. Considering that, I come to the conclusion that if any of this is true, then yes, he is. And so is Stefan. I don't know from where that thought comes, but I'm sure of it. And now I'm able to make a plan of something to do today. I'll just need to find a way to get Stefan to come here though it's school...

Texting Elena in order to get Stefan here appears to have been the right thing to do. I just told her that something had happened and I needed help which I didn't know from where I'd get it, and I carefully pointed out that I didn't want her to miss school because of me. She'd replied right away that she'd tell Stefan to come over.

As I wait for him to come, I sit in the couch in the living room googling things on my phone. And I find out that in some vampire myths they aren't able to walk into a house without having been invited by the person who lives there. And thinking back to when Damon was here, I didn't exactly invite him. So that's what I'll have to do with Stefan. As I hear him knock on the door, I hurry to get up and open the door.

"Hey", he says. "What's happened?"

"I need to show you something in my room", I say, trying to sound desperate. "This way", I turn my back to the door and quickly walk inside my room. I sit down on my bed, and count to thirty before I go back to the door to look at Stefan who is still standing just outside of it. "You can come inside", I say, and watch him closely as he carefully walks through the door. I then show him the way to my bedroom.

"What was it you needed to show me?" he asks.

"Uhm, nothing", I say honestly. "I actually needed to ask you something."

"And what is that?" he asks.

I hesitate for some moments, considering how I should ask it. How would I even explain that I think he's a vampire? That my weird bracelet is showing me things in my dreams? But the dreams happened before I put the bracelet back on too, and they never happened before. But thinking of it, maybe nothing happened. And the dreams I had when I just got here could maybe be just because the bracelet was close to me, I keep my makeup bag on the nightstand after all. So, I take a deep breath, and look Stefan straight in the eyes.

"Are you and Damon vampires?"

His expression turns into something that I can't even tell what it's supposed to be. It's like some mix that contains surprise, fear and relief. Which just wouldn't really make sense.

"How did you figure it out?" he asks, and I take his question as a way of saying that I was right.

"Damon walked with me on Saturday and was supposed to eat lunch with me here but wouldn't go inside, then he told me to forget he followed me home, but I didn't", I begin to explain. "Then me and Elena went to your place, after Elena left Damon ripped my bracelet off and ... well I remembered some things this night that I didn't even know I'd forgotten anything about, and when I woke up my bracelet was back on, though I didn't get it before leaving your house."

Stefan looks at me for a long time before speaking again. "Have you told anyone about this?"

"No", I answer. "I would probably just sound like a mentally ill."

"True", he smiles slightly.

"Does Elena know?" I ask.

"Yeah, she does", Stefan says. "But there's more to this than what you figured out. I need to talk to the others first but how about we all meet at Elena's place at five?"

"Sure", I say, wondering who he means.

"I'll text you if the plans has to change."

A/N: Sooo, now she knows the secret. How d'you think she'll deal with it?
