MATT:

I was packing my bag to go travelling with Rebekah. I knew I was taking a risk going to the other side of the world with a vampire, an original vampire was crazy. But, I honestly felt safe with her.

"Matt? Are you in?" I heard Rebekah calling.

"Come on in… I'm packing." I said. I continued to do so until I heard the footsteps coming closer. Just as I was about to turn around I felt her grip my neck, very tightly. "Bek… what are you doing? That hurts you know… I'm not a vampire like you." I tried to bring my neck around to look at her, see what was going on. When I managed to turn my head around, I flinched. That wasn't Rebekah holding my neck. "Silas" I said, with fear clearly present in my voice. "What did you do with Rebekah, where is she?"

"Oh, she'll be fine. I just twisted her neck. But I'm peckish and I've heard that you're a very tasty snack." He sniggered.

I tried to escape and yelled "REBEKAH! HELP ME!" That was no use. Before I knew it his fangs were sunk into my neck. With every inch of blood drained, I was getting weaker. My life was slipping away from me and there was no way I could control it.

REBEKAH:

I had awoken, that conniving old man had snapped my neck on my way into Matt's house. While I was livid in self-pity, I suddenly heard Matt shout out "REBEKAH! HELP ME!" SILAS! Silas was with him. What was I to do? I panicked. I shook my head and ran for the Matt's en-suite. Matt had a door to leave the house from there, but Silas wouldn't know that. I peaked in the door toward the direction of Matt. I picked up a piece of wood on my way in and I sped in. I stuck the stake into his chest as best I could and he dropped Matt and I acted to catch him. Silas fled from the house.

"Matt? Matt! Answer me, Matt?" I begged. I tapped his face in the hope it would wake him up. But that was no use. The Gilbert ring was on his bed. Why oh why did he take it off? I thought to myself.

The only option I had left was to feed him my blood. I sharply bit my wrist and put it by Matt's mouth. "Drink up, Matt! Oh, please drink it!" I sobbed. "You can't leave me like this. Especially not after we've made plans" I half joked, I couldn't lose him now, not after me accepted me for who I am."

I was crying so much I could barely see with the film of tears over my eyes. Before I knew it, Matt began choking. He was alive! "Matt! Oh thank God you're alright!" I praised. "Are you okay?" I questioned.

"Uh, yeah… I think so. Are you? I know he snapped your neck" He said while trying to control the blood gushing from his neck.

"Don't worry about me you fool" I laughed. "I'm fine. Now let me look after you-" I paused. I felt a presence. I placed Matt down in his bed. I heard something stir by the kitchen. I walked out the door and peaked out at the hallway. Nothing there… I guess I was just being over protective. I turned back around to face Matt while saying "Nothing…" I stopped. Silas. How did he get in this time? Before I got a chance to tackle him, he snapped Matt's neck.

"NO!" I screamed as Silas escaped. "No, no, no, no, no!" I said repeatedly. He wasn't ready to be a vampire… he didn't want to be! I had to phone Caroline, she knew Matt better than me, and she would know what to do.

She had the exact response I expected from her… "What do you mean you fed him your blood?!" He isn't cut out for the vampire life." And when she calmed down "I'll be right around to help him adjust to this."

When Caroline had arrived, she brought Damon, Stefan… and Bonnie? "I thought you were dead, witch?"

"I guess you thought wrong then, huh?"

Damon, Caroline, Bonnie and I went into the kitchen to discuss the issue. Nik was also sitting there. "What the bloody hell are you doing here?" I turned to him.

"Never mind what am I doing here, and for your information Caroline invited me, sis. Maybe you should concentrate on Matt for now." He was right. Matt was more important. We all walked back into the room, and Stefan was on the ground. When we got further in, Silas was right beside Matt, holding him captive with a stake. Everyone stopped walking forward and begged Silas to let him go. When we had him convinced that we weren't going to make any stupid moves, Bonnie walked into the bedroom, using her expression to bring Silas down. Blood began gushing from his ears…. His nose… and before we knew it, he was on the ground. His hands gripping his head. Bonnie was in destruction mode. For once I was grateful to have her around.

When he stopped moving, Damon stepped forward toward him, and pulled out his heart. He was gone. Dead. We were finally free to live our lives with no fear. At least for now anyways.

"I guess this is why he had to weaken Stefan. For him to die, he had to threaten the life of his doppelganger. Stefan will get back to normal now again now that he is dead." Bonnie confirmed. Everyone was so relieved, but it just seemed too good to be true. Thankfully, Nik and I were leaving for NOLA after Matt and I's summer. I guess I was truly free from all the drama Now all was left to do was to enjoy the summer, with my new vampire boyfriend.
