A/N: This story is set after Shadow Souls and is pretty much AU. Some characters can be a little OOC.

Shinichi

Meredith POV

I entered Stefan's and Elena's room; I didn't even knock. I already knew she was inside crying. Stefan had told me that she needed me.

I didn't even hesitate a little; I just went to her. She is like my sister and it pains me seeing her like that. Crying her heart out.

I walked towards her and hugged her. I tried to say anything to comfort her. I really don't know what happened between Stefan and Elena. I can guess but I'm not certain. I waited until she calmed down a little. Then she looked at me.

"Thank you, Mere"

"If you want Elena you can tell me what happened."

She sighed a little. She still has tears falling down her face.

"We broke up, Mere"

"What? Are you kidding me?"

"No, Mere I told Stefan the truth. I told him everything that happened between Damon and me."

"But, Elena I don't understand."

"Mere; I kissed Damon."

"What? Are you crazy?"

"I know. I just... I don't know what to feel any more."

I started to pace. I was analyzing her words. No wonder Stefan broke up with her. Her kissing his brother. Come on!

"Mere, please..."

"Elena, I think you already know what are you doing with the brothers is not good. Even if you don't have bad intentions, you are playing with them. That is not fair. I totally understand why Stefan let you free. I won't judge you. I'm not the right person to give opinions or advise about relationships. The man I am interested in is half way around the world working. And right now I'm finding another person quite amusing and interesting."

Elena look at me surprised. It is very rare for me to tell such things. I mean it is private.

"So you see, Elena. I can't give you a lot of comfort. I love you like a sister and you will have my support. But I will be bad friend If I didn't tell you this. GROW UP! and FOCUS. I know your heart is broken, but it is not the only heart with pains. Please suck it up a little. We need you, specially now. You know what I mean, Elena. Shinichi is still out there lurking we need to be strong."

It is strange; I felt a little bit awful to tell her all of this, but she needed to hear it.

"Mere, thank you. You are right. With my belief that I'm not like Katherine I ended up being like her. It pains me that I have to lose the man that I love to open my eyes. I love him Mere. I really do."

"Who do you love Elena?"

"I love Stefan."

"What about Damon?"

I saw her hesitation. Her heart was still undecided.

"Elena, give your heart some time. Please!"

"I will, Mere I will. Thanks again. I know how hard it is for you to open up a little and talk about yourself."

"Elena, I think this whole experience is a learning process. We are getting to know each other better. I don't like the way and the circumstances but I think it is worth it."

"I think you are right."

We hug each other again.

"Thank you Mere."

"You already said that, Elena. So please..."

"Mere, Who is the person so interesting to you?"

"Not now please."

"Come on, tell me."

"You don't rest do you?"

I saw her nodding and smiling. I'm doomed; I wanted to help her and what I got is my friend planning romantic scenarios for me. I know her; she is doing it right now.

I was about to utter another protest when we heard some screaming downstairs. It was Matt's voice.

Elena looked at me. I understood her immediately. We began to run toward Matt's voice.

Bonnie POV

I can't see or hear anything. I can't move not an inch. This strange force is oppressing me, little by little. The pain is becoming unbearable, but my mind keeps thinking 'Where is Damon?' The next question that keeps coming up is 'What is this force; or I should say: who is this force?'

It is frustrating; the feeling that I am so weak and helpless. I keep trying to remember something to stop this. Maybe I should break up the linking spell.

I heard a sinister laugh. That laugh felt like an expansive wave through all my being. I couldn't stop the fear rising inside of me. Now I can here the voice. It can't be.

"Look what I caught here, a little nosy birdie."

I feel how he turns me around so I can face him. It was Shinichi in his human form. He was looking at me like I'm a laboratory specimen. He moves his hands and the force changes it's hold on me. Now I'm in a crucifix position. And I can't do anything.

He begins to walk around me. His eyes fill with amusement.

"How lucky am I? MMM! I come here for another memory and I find my lost sacrifice. Come on little birdie; you can speak now."

"I am not a little birdie."

He begin to laugh again. He walks towards me and he presses my face with his hand really hard.

"You should be thankful and I will call you whatever I want. You are really amusing. You've got some spark even though you are terrified right now. Why are you here?"

I didn't answer him. I didn't want to. He was still holding my face and I could feel how his nails begin to break my skin.

"You know that whatever pain or damage I do to you; your real body will have the same injuries. So if you want to live a little bit longer I suggest you to answer me."

Now with his other hand he begains to stroke my neck. The thing is every time he did it was harder and harder.

"Why are you here?"

"I was looking for you."

This time he punches me really hard and I lose my breath.

"Keep lying to me and you will die here in the mind of another filthy human being."

I cough up trying to breathe; some of my blood begins to trickle down by my mouth. What can I say to him? I can't tell him the truth. I needa few seconds to think clearly.

Shinichi grabs my face again. He is analyzing me. He suddenly begins to come really close. I feel his other hand at my waist; he presses his human form against me.

"I think I will keep you alive for a little bit longer. Tell all those hopeless humans I want my sister Hoshi no tama. All of you broke our deal when they stole it. So I will keep stealing memories until he will be completely mine. Remember, little wench, he is human now but that can change. If you hand me the Hoshi no tama my sister and I will leave this town."

I dare to look at him. I was frightened but what he just said made me angry.

"You broke it first. You are still destroying Falls Church. You are a trickster; I don't trust you."

"You are so foolish or maybe you have some intelligence within you. It will be fun to play with you a little. Well I came for my memory and because of you I don't have it. So I'm going to have a taste of you."

"What?, NO!"

I feel his teeth sink into my neck. He bites me with a lot of force. He is savaging my neck. I can't tell for sure if he is drinking my blood or eating my flesh. I am beginning to feel really weak when I hear someone screaming.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!"

It was Damon. He was the one that screamed. Shinichi switched his glare toward him.

"Oh, another visitor!"

He says it with a sarcastic tone. Damon begins to run toward him. He is really angry. Shinichi just stands there beside me waiting for him.

The clash between them is sickening. Shinichi begins to hold Damon by his neck. He is chocking him. Damon doesn't have a chance against Shinichi. I begin to scream.

"Don't kill him. I you kill us now; how are we going to deliver your message?"

"Fool, I'm powerful I can have what I want without you two."

"And you think our friends will hand it to you peacefully with our deaths? They are not stupid they will fight you. Don't underestimate them. Your sister did and she lost one of her tails."

He throws Damon against the floor and he runs with non-human speed toward me. He punches me again. He turns and begins to walk towards Damon.

No, Shinichi not this time; I just got the seconds that I wanted from you. With the last of my strength I begin to break the spell. I begin to chant in a very low tone:

As I command it so,
shall it be,
I reverse the spell put upon me,
Sink this mind link,
Shall not know what I think,
Shall not know what I feel, I here-by break this link!''

The last thing I remember after my chanting was Shinichi's raged scream.

A/N: What do you think of Meredith? Who do you think is the interesting and amusing person? And about what Shinichi did to Bonnie? I hope you really like it. Please tell me if it was bad or good.

Give me a little bit more of your time and write me something. Down there is the link. :)

I want to say I didn't mean to offend anyone. I did warn this story is AU and that some characters can be a little bit OOC. I know there is huge "war" between the fan pairings from VD. I am a Bamon shipper but I love Elena and Stefan together. Sometimes I think we forget that this are fiction characters. There are amazing stories with Delena, Masonnie, Jonnie, Bamon, Stefonnie, Katherine with D and S, etc. This whole issue reminds me a phrase that I learned from my mother. "Para los gustos los colores". Basically it means for any likes exists a different color. You are free to choose what to like, just respect the rest of the people that think different.

Two of our favorites characters are vampires. We can't make the mistake to humanized them too much. Probably I look at them in a human way. Maybe I wrote them too human like; but if being a vampire magnify the emotions, that includes heartache and anger. From the last chapter Stefan just discovered the love of his life kissed his brother and that she is not sure of what she wants. It is like reliving the Katherine episode again. Maybe he was too harsh to Elena; but he was heartbroken and angry. Elena and Damon are the two people that he loves no matter what. I think he managed the whole situation pretty good. I mean he is a vampire if he chooses to do it he can turn off his feelings and live his true nature. Sometimes harsh words works as a wake up call and Elena needed that. At least this is my humble opinion.

So again I'm sorry If I offended someone out there. Just give the story a chance you don't know if they will end up together or what will happen. Then again big thanks to everyone. I do love your reviews. They make me think and work harder.
