Chapter 10

The Turning Point

Daniel and I watch Caroline and Matt talking animatedly across the hall. "What's that about?" Daniel asks me confused.

"They've been hanging out, talking, I think he slept over once, it's weird," I admit, I just associated Matt with Elena and I didn't know when that would stop. I pause when I see Bonnie and Elena, my mind instantly going to the events of last night. I hit my head against my locker trying to chase the thoughts away.

"Are you alright?" Daniel questions me concerned.

I sigh, "I'm fine, just too much stuff going on in my mind," I tell him, grabbing my books from my locker.

"Are you sure?" Daniel asks, "you've seemed off for a while and I'd like to believe its just your mum but," Daniel leaves the sentence hanging.

I half-smile not surprised Daniel knew me to well, "I wish I could tell you I really do but I promised I wouldn't and Daniel its something you don't ever want to know," I inform him firmly.

Daniel raises his eyebrow, before nodding, "Okay but if you ever need to talk I'm here, you know that," he assures me.

I grin, "How'd I get a friend, like you?" I question, shutting my locker.

"Hey can we talk?" Elena asks me at the end of school.

"Sure," I mutter, brushing my hair behind my ear.

"Stefan stopped by," she informs me.

"Oh," I say, "is he?" I question not wanting to say leaving.

Elena shakes her head, "Not yet, they've found another body, there's another vampire in town," she explains to me. I glance around me nervously, eyeing anyone strange,

"Great," I say sarcastically.

"Damon's going to track them, but we need to be careful okay," Elena tells me.

I nod, "Cause careful," I murmur, hugging my bag closer to me.

"Damon," I growl as Damon comes up to me on my way home.

He puts his hands up, "I'm not to hurt you, I just need you to do something for me," he tells me.

I stare at him in disbelief, "You're delusional," I snap.

Damon smirks shrugging, "Guess I'll just call Caroline," he says grabbing his phone.

I glare, "Fine what do you want me to do?" I question him annoyed.

He hands me an old looking compass, "Follow where it points you," he instructs me.

I look down at it, "Why?" I ask.

"So we can find the vampire," he informs me.

I groan, "Great just what I want," I snap.

"Don't get snappy," he says to me.

I glare at him, "I'm only doing this so Caroline doesn't have to, it doesn't mean I want to be anywhere near you," I hiss at him.

The compass ends up leading me towards an abandoned warehouse, I grab my phone dialling Damon's phone, "I'm in front of some warehouse," I tell him, giving him the exact location.

"I'll be there in a minute, don't go in there," he warns me.

I roll my eyes, "Because that's what I was going to do," I say sarcastically.

"What have I told you about snappy," Damon's voice comes from behind me, making me jump.

I whip around to face him, "Don't do that," I tell him holding my heart which was beating faster than normal because of the fright. Damon smirks, taking the compass from my hands, "So why couldn't you do that?" I question crossing my arms.

"Because I interfere with the signal," he explains.

I nod it made sense considering he was a vampire and it tracked vampires, "Can I go now?" I ask, looking at the time on my watch.

"Sure, nice working with you Elouise," Damon calls.

I turn around making a face at him, "You're an ass," I tell him. "Hello," I say answering my ringing phone.

"Elouise, where are you, you were meant to be home ages ago," mum says her voice fill of worry. I look over at the warehouse behind me, not surprised at her worry.

"Yeah sorry, I was just with Daniel at the Grill, I should have called," I apologize.

Mum breathes a sigh of relief, "No its alright, you'll be at the careers fair right?" she questions.

"Course, I wouldn't miss it," I tell her.

"Where have you been?" Elena questions me as I enter the careers fair late.

I pull my hair up into a ponytail, "Damon made me help him track the new one," I explain, looking around.

Elena makes a face, "Elouise you need to stay away from him," she advises me.

"I know that, he blackmailed me said he's make Caroline do it, she doesn't deserve to deal with this," I explain to Elena, noticing Caroline across the room.

Elena follows my gaze nodding, "You're a good sister," she comments.

I laugh, "I know that," I say, "I just kind wish she would," I wish mournfully.

Elena looks at me smiling, "Caroline can be a little self-absorbed but she cares about you she always has, do you remember when she found out you were adopted?" Elena questions me.

I nod, the memory filling my mind, "Yeah, she was so upset, she went and had a sleepover with you and Bonnie," I remember.

Elena smiles, "And do you know that she was so upset, because you two weren't blood-related, you were her a sister, and the thing she hated the most is that she couldn't say you were blood-sisters," Elena recalls.

I watch Caroline unsure how to take in the information, "I wish I knew what happened," I admit. I look up to see Stefan watching Elena, "You should talk to him," I encourage her. Elena gives me a look but I just smile walking over to Daniel. "So what's your future looking like?" I question him.

Daniel sighs, "I don't know, I've never really been a plan for the future guy," he admits.

I smile unsurprised, Daniel wasn't a planner. "Well I still want to be an author or an historian," I tell him, frowning when I remembering that I still hadn't written anymore of my book.

"How's that going?" Daniel asks me jokingly seeing my face.

I laugh, "Hopelessly, but in my defense I've been busy."

Daniel nods solemnly, "Yes with mysterious things you can't tell me."

I grin, "Well its not my fault its part of the oath," I whisper secretly.

Daniel pushes me with his shoulder, "You an idiot," he tells me.

I make my way outside as I see Elena and Stefan talking urgently, "Okay what's going on?" I ask them confused. They had both seemed on edge.

Stefan and Elena look at each other, "Logan Fell's a vampire," they explain.

"The news guy," I ask in shock, "he used to babysit me there's no way he's a vampire," I argue.

Stefan looks at me, "We're not sure who turned but he's definitely one," he informs me.

I take a step back, "That's so crazy," I murmur.

"Elouise," mum says walking up to mum, she looks more worried than I've ever seen her. I frown, "What's up?" I question, stepping away from Stefan and Elena to talk to her.

"Caroline's angry at me, she went outside. Could you find her?" mum asks me, glancing around nervously.

I bite my lip figuring this had to have something to do with Logan Fell, "Sure," I agree, "I'll go now." "Caroline," I call as I run outside catching sight of her hoping it to someone's car. "Hey," I say stopping in front of the car, it was one I had never seen. When I look through the glare of the lights, I see Caroline passed out in the passenger seat, and the driver's seat empty. "What the hell?" I murmur, as someone grabs me from behind. I attempt to scream but hands cover my mouth and before I know an odd metallic taste rushes through my mouth, I cough spluttering. I'm dumped in the back seat before the car drives off. "Stefan," I scream banging on the windows.

"Elouise shut up," a voice tells me, a voice I recognize to well.

"Logan," I guess. Afraid I touch my mouth, looking down to see a red liquid. "You feed me your blood," I yell, hurting Logan in hatred, Logan pushes me back against the seat, "and I will kill you," he warns flashing is vampire face. I stare at him in complete shock, fear overcoming my senses.

Logan pulls out his phone calling someone, "Your daughter has expressed an interest in journalism and you other daughter decided to join her. I think its important to foster young minds," Logan says in the phone obviously talking to mum. "The satisfaction of turning your daughters into vampires," Logan declares after mum says something. I desperately attempt to open the door as Logan stops at an intersection. Suddenly Logan is flung out of the car by someone and I clamber over to the outside to look out the window. Logan gets out as Damon steps out of the woods, shooting Logan with a gun.

I flinch as it makes impact, "Payback's a bitch, isn't it?" he says smirking. Stefan appears to carry Caroline out of the passenger seat, Damon jogs over to my side opening the door pulling me out. "You alright?" he questions sounding sincerely concerned for me.

I wipe my sleeve against my mouth, "I think so," I murmur, "thank you," I say sincerely, realizing that Damon had taken a part in saving me.

Stefan looks at me, "We need to get out of here," he informs me holding Caroline. I look across to Logan nodding, as Damon picks up Logan's phone.

"You going to be alright?" Stefan asks me as we leave Caroline in her room.

I half smile, "I think so, believe it or not, I'm actually getting use to this," I admit.

Stefan nods, "I'm sorry about this Elouise."

I look at Stefan shaking my head, "Stefan you didn't turn Logan, I don't know who did, but this isn't you or Damon, you can't blame yourself," I say firmly. Stefan looks as if hes about to argue but I don't let him, "So I'll just stick to the Logan attacked me story," I ask Stefan.

He nods, "Yeah just say your saw Caroline get in his car and he forced you in," he tells me.

"You should head back to Elena," I advise him, falling heavily on my couch.

"Stay safe," Stefan says before leaving and I laugh. The thought of staying safe in this town seemed so impossible.

"Elouise," mum calls coming into my room and pulling me up off my bed into a hug.

"I'm fine," I assure her, returning the hug.

"I was so worried," she confesses.

I smile, "I know but we'll alright," I promise.

Mum shakes her head, "I should never have let you look for Caroline alone," she murmurs more to herself.

"Mum," I say, "you couldn't know that would happen, this is all crazy Logan Fell," I tell her firmly. I was wondering how I became the person who to assure everyone else it wasn't their fault. All I really wanted to do was curl up and bed and wake up tomorrow forgetting this whole crazy night.

Mum kisses my forehead, "I know, do you need anything?" she questions.

"Just to go to sleep, I'm really tired," I inform her, yawning as if to confirm it.

Mum nods, "Okay I'll see you in the morning," she says to me walking over to the door. "Love you," she tells me, before shutting the door.

I sink back down on my bed, "Love you too," I whisper when she's gone. Falling against my pillows I look at all the stories around me, still unbelieving that my life had turned into something that belonged in them. More than anything I was confused, I didn't know who to blame anymore. Damon had helped saved me and Caroline tonight, and while I still hated him, I couldn't blame him for the events of tonight. The truth was I desperately needed someone to blame.

"Elouise, I need you to pick me up, take Caroline's car, we need to talk it's urgent," Elena says to me as I answer my phone.

"Can't you just come here?" I question looking at the time.

"My car won't start," she admits, "I'm walking back from the Salvatores."

I stand up, "What's going on?" for the first moment I noticed the sadness in her voice.

"Elouise, I look like, I look exactly like Katherine," Elena tells me.

I frown, "What that doesn't any sense," I reply confused.

"I saw her picture from 1864, and we're identical," she says, sounding like she's about to burst into tears.

"Its okay Elena, I'll be right there," I assure her, about to hang up.

"Elouise, there's something else," Elena adds before I can.

"What?" I ask, instantly worried.

"You know how you told me about Rose and how Stefan told you, you reminded him and Damon of her, its cause you like her too, you're identical to her," Elena explains to me, speaking sp fast its hard to follow.

"I look like Rose," I repeat shaking my head, it didn't make sense, "I'll be there soon," I promise hanging up and walking into Caroline's room I take her keys. My mind is so distracted as I drive, trying to process what it is that Elena has said. I reminded them of Rose because I was identical to her, it just, I couldn't understand how that even happens. I look down trying to think of something else when I look up again I see a figure on the road. Slamming on my breaks I attempt to stop but there isn't enough time. I'm not sure exactly what happens, except the car ends up flying causing me to scream in fear. Upside down I struggle desperately to get my seatbelt off as my eyes are drawn to the man on the road standing up again. Looking up at him I realize that it can only mean one thing, I scream in fear as he begins to talk towards me.

So very excited for the next episode...Damon and Elouise in Georgia...should be fun :) Tell me what you're thinking of the story!
