Lulu: Sorry for the wait, hope you enjoy the new chapter!

JimmyHall24: I know, Damon can be a pain, but Sarah loves him to much to kill, but she still hates his guts right now. And yeah, from the requests it's looking like it might be a Femslash. But I'm miles away from it, so be warned, you're in for a wait.

As since this is my tenth chapter I want to give a shout out to TeamComrade11 who wrote 'The Tragedy of Being a Whitmore' which inspired me to write this story. The author did take a break for a while but is now back and full recommend you check out this story!

Thanks for all the favourites and follows you guys! And don't forget to leave a review if your enjoying the story!

Chapter 10: The Turning Point

Awakening in her bed Sarah was still as she blinked the sleep from her eyes. Part of her didn't want to move, fearing her bothers would have already left. That thought quickly vanished though when she heard a knock at her bedroom door. Rolling onto her back she sat up to find Stefan standing in her bedroom doorway, leaning on the frame with a thin smile.

"Morning," he greeted her but Sarah only frowned angrily in response.

"Thought you'd be gone by now," Sarah replied as she threw off the covers, sliding her legs out of bed. She brushed her bed hair out of her face and walked around her bed and towards her bright white tilted bathroom, not saying another word as she did.

"I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye," Stefan said as he carefully stepped into his sister's bedroom while she turned on the tap in her bathroom. She splashed some water on her face and then looked up to the mirror to see Stefan now in her bathroom doorway. She shot him another glare through the mirror before stripping herself of her night cloths and then stepping into her shower. There was no curtain and from the angle Stefan could clearly see into the shower if he wanted to but it was nothing new to either of them.

"Just go, Stefan. I don't like goodbyes," Sarah said as she turned the shower on and began to wash. Stefan lingered for a moment before leaving Sarah to her morning routine. She didn't care if he was gone by the time she got down stairs. She just wanted him to be gone if he was going, prevent the prolonging of her pain.

When she was done with her shower she stepped out and dried herself off with the nearby towel. After that she threw on a pair of jeans and a black top to match her mood. Her leather jacket was where she'd left it last night when she finally came home, lying at the end of her bed. She grabbed it and pulled it on as she made her way down the stairs and into the living room where Damon was waiting for her.

When he caught sight of her, he flashed his usual Damon grin as he lowered his paper. Sarah just let out an angry sigh and rolled her eyes as she passed him, heading towards the kitchen. Entering the kitchen she found the wooden table had been set for three with Stefan cooking in the corner.

"Hungry?" Stefan asked, looking over his shoulder before returning to whatever it was he was frying.

"No," Sarah said coldly, turning to leave the way she'd come in but Damon was blocking her path.

"Sit." From his tone she knew she wasn't getting a choice. Letting out a reluctant sigh Sarah turned back and sat down on one side of the table while Damon took the other. They sat in silence until Stefan joined them with some fried bacon which he put on a plate for them all to eat from.

Sarah just glared at her brothers while they started to eat opposite her, the only sound was of their jaws chewing. It took them awhile to realise she wasn't eating and then both looked to her. She remained silent for a while until eventually they're glares wore her down.

"What?" she asked, playing dumb.

"Eat," Damon said, keeping to his one word answers.

"I'm not hungry," Sarah snarled turning her attention to Damon.

"Look, I get you're mad at us-" Stefan began as he leaned down on the table.

"Mad at you?" A dry laugh. "That's an understatement," Sarah snapped turning to Stefan.

"Don't you think you're overreacting just a bit?" Damon asked in his mocking tone.

"You're abandoning me!" Sarah shouted as she stood up from her seat. "I'd say it's a fair reaction."

"This is best for everyone, Sarah," Stefan cut in between his siblings before they could get to each other's throats.

"Best for you and him maybe," Sarah said with a nod to Damon. "But not for me. And don't give me that spiel about how we're not a family and I'll be better off without you, because it's a lie. We're a family and we should be sticking together," Sarah said trying to break through to her brothers. The two vampires opposite her just exchanged glances and then looked back to Sarah, Stefan with sorry eyes and Damon with his hard blue ones.

"You know what." Sarah sighed as she shook her head. "Forget it. Just be gone before I get back." She marched out of the kitchen. She heard Stefan stand up to follow her but when he didn't move she assumed that Damon was holding him back. This was the best way to do it and Damon knew it. A clean break was better for her than the dragged out goodbye. She knew that would be hard for Stefan but part of her wanted him to suffer for leaving her.

Making her way out the door she slammed it shut behind her and made her way down the drive way towards the main road. When she heard a car coming towards her she vanished off into the woods at vamp speed and kept going until she was deep in the forest.

Anger quickly consumed her and she threw her fist hitting the tree trunk in front of her and sending bark flying. She didn't stop and threw her other fist, then continued to punch the tree until she caught sight of her bleeding knuckles. She frowned down at her hands before brushing out the bark, allowing her hands to heal properly.

Her head then dipped back and her eyes moved up to the tree tops with the blue sky above, white clouds drifting lazily by without a care in the world. Sarah wished she could be like them, but after a little reminder of what she was like with no emotions she quickly decided it was best to stay the way she was. Not that she had a choice in the matter. She just wished that her brothers didn't have to leave her.

She spent most of her day in the forest, just avoiding everything in the real world and feeding off small animals. When it started to remind her of Stefan she stopped and grabbed a hiker before erasing his memories and sending him on his way. She couldn't muster up the courage to return home on the off chance Stefan and Damon were still there. If they were she couldn't be sure she'd be able to watch them go without attacking them and she didn't want to part on those terms. She was much happier with them both leaving and thinking she was just mad at them, instead of out to lock them up. Though she'd be lying if she said she hadn't thought about it.

It was only when the sun started to go down that she finally found herself on familiar grounds as she spotted Scarlett's trailer through the trees up ahead. With nothing better to do she found herself venturing towards it when she heard a scream from within. She knew it was a male's scream so not Scarlett which made her a little relieved. Racing to the door in a blur, Sarah kicked the door open to see Scarlett standing over her uncle who was on the floor unconscious. Her eyes caught the reflected light in Scarlett's hand and when it cleared she saw that she was holding a sharp kitchen knife.

"Scarlett, don't'!" Sarah shouted as she tried to step into the trailer only to be stopped by a familiar invisible wall. "Scarlett! Scarlett, look at me! Invite me in! Scarlett! Scarlett!" Sarah continued to shout but Scarlett didn't say anything, only remain still as she stared down at her uncle. She turned the knife over in her hand and held it above her head, ready to stab at the fat man's heart.

"Scarlett!" Sarah shouted once again but all she could do was watch as the knife was swung down into her uncle's chest delivering a deadly blow. Then Scarlett pulled the knife out and stabbed him again, and again, and again until she was covered in blood along with her floor.

Then she froze and the knife fell from her hands as she dropped to her knees, gasping in shock. Knowing Sarah was behind her, Scarlett looked over to see the vampire in the doorway looking back with equal shock in her eyes. Despite having given Scarlett this very command, Sarah was still shocked to see that she had done it. At the time she had thought she was doing the girl a favour but now she wasn't so sure. How could she have completely forgotten about this? Sarah wondered as she continued to gap at the sight in front of her. She'd been so sucked up in her own personal drama she'd completely forgotten what she had done to Scarlett.

Sarah then found her eyes widening as she looked back into Scarlett's. The teenager's natural brown eyes had become a glowing gold with black background. Sarah was speechless as the glow faded from Scarlett's eyes; she'd never seen anything like it in all her years on this earth. She'd seen plenty of vampires but never anything like this.

"You... You... What are you?" Scarlett stammered in complete and utter fear as she stared back into Sarah's forest green eyes.

"Scarlett. Listen to me. It's going to be okay," Sarah said as she began to compel Scarlett. "Just invite me in and everything will be okay," Sarah continued but Scarlett didn't invite her in. She just continued to stare back at Sarah.

"Why would I invite you in after everything you've done?" Scarlett asked which shocked Sarah, even from this distance her compulsion should still work. Maybe not as affectively as it would if she was up close but it was like Scarlett had become completely immune.

"Scarlett... Just...just let me explain," Sarah said as she tried to get inside again only to fail.

"You killed Vicki!" Scarlett screamed as the memoires came flooding back into her head.

"Yes. Yes I did and I can explain everything but you need to invite me in," Sarah said still trying to force her way through the invisible barrier that refused to give in. "Scarlett, please," Sarah begged as she stared into the teenager's eyes.

"I... I..." Scarlett said before finally screaming out in pain as she dropped to the ground.

"Scarlett? Scarlett!" Sarah shouted as she watched the girl spasm around on the floor. Eyes widening in horror, Sarah found herself stepping back when suddenly Scarlett's limbs began to twist into unnatural positions. Her screams increasing in volume and pain as her cloths began to tear.

"What...what...what is happening?!" Scarlett wept before the pain suddenly hit her again and she arched upwards while on all fours with another agonising scream. Only it was beginning to sound less like a scream and more like a howl crossed with a growl.

"I-I don't know," Sarah replied as she watched Scarlett's cloths fall to the ground, her whole body know shifting into something...non-human. She was beginning to look more like an animal, a four legged animal with a tail and snout. Hair growing out of her naked skin at an insane right, cover in how body in long black hairs.

Then it struck Sarah what it was Scarlett was becoming. A wolf.

"Oh...my...God..." Sarah breathed out as she slowly stepped back as Scarlett completed her transformation. She was now a large black furred wolf with glowing amber eyes that glared back angrily at Sarah. A growl then began to form in the back of Scarlett's new throat and passed out as she took a step towards the vampire in front of her.

Hearing the threat in the Scarlett's growl, Sarah turned tail and took off at full speed into the forest as a howl chased after her. It was only when the howl faded from her ears, that Sarah looked over her shoulder to see Scarlett now hot on her tail. The fear of death quickly kicked in and as Sarah looked back to where she was running she found herself going faster than ever before.

Suddenly tripping over a low lying log, Sarah fell face first as Scarlett leapt for her throat. Luckily she passed right over Sarah who was now lying flat on the ground. Pushing up quickly, Sarah found that Scarlett had already turned around and was ready to pounce again.

Searching for a weapon, Sarah reached for a large stick and swung for Scarlett's stomach as she pounced. Thanks to her speed and strength Sarah managed to catch Scarlett off balance in mid air and knocked her aside before taking off into the forest.

Looking behind her and seeing no sign of Scarlett, Sarah skidded to a stop and took cover behind a tree truck. She did her best to calm her breathing but something primal inside of her told her not to stop running until she got home. But with Scarlett nowhere in sight Sarah decided to catch her breath, thinking it safe.

Panic then took over quickly as her phone started to ring. Fearing it would attract the beast Scarlett had become, Sarah quickly pulled out her phone and answered it before the second ring could finish.

"What?" Sarah hissed in a hushed whisper as she answered the phone.

"I need your help," Damon said back painfully, ignoring everything her voice was telling him.

"I'm busy," Sarah hissed as she peered around the tree trunk, thankful there was still no sight of the black wolf.

"And I just got shot with wooden bullets," Demon snapped. "Bet you'll never guess who did it."

"I'm not helping you," Sarah said bitterly. If her brothers were going to abandon her then she wasn't going to do them any favours.

"It was Logan Fell," Demon said, once again ignoring what his sister was saying.

"What? I thought you killed him?" Sarah said in confusion as she frowned.

"I know. I must be getting sloppy," Demon said so playfully Sarah could almost picture him smirking. "So why don't you get your butt over to the school and help me-" Damon said but the second half of his sentence was cut out by a loud growl.

Sarah's head snapped to the side to find a pair of amber eyes glaring at her with a set of sharp canine fangs right underneath them. In a mad frantic panic Sarah hung up and leapt to the side as the beast flew at her. She hid the ground with a roll and then came back up sprinting as the Chase began again.

She eventually reached the road and followed it towards Mystic Falls hoping that Scarlett wouldn't follow her into town. Glancing back over her shoulder, Sarah quickly wished she hadn't when she saw that Scarlett was getting closer. At this rate she was going to be Scarlett's next meal before she got anywhere near Mystic Falls.

Fighting the instinct to run, Sarah came to a sudden stop as she swung her foot around and caught Scarlet in the jaw knocking her aside. With the teenage beast caught off balance by her sudden change in strategy, Sarah took her chance to vanish into the woods again.

Near instantly Sarah took cover behind a tree trunk and then watched as Scarlett dashed by like a shadow on the forest floor.. Holding her breath until the wolf was out of sight, Sarah then let out a shaky breath.

She was scared. More scared than she had been when her brothers told her they were leaving her. Possibly the most scared she'd ever been in her life. There was something inside her that just knew that while Scarlett was in this form she was deadly, even to vampires. She was shaking all over from fear and all she wanted was her brothers. She needed them to help her fight whatever Scarlett had become before the wolf killed her.

A sudden gasp of horror then escaped her lips as Sarah saw Scarlett slowly stepping towards her from threw the trees. She could kick herself for thinking it would be that easy to lose such a deadly animal. This was an animal that had several ways of tracking its prey and number one was by scent, something that Sarah couldn't easily lose.

"Scarlett... If you're in there... I don't want to hurt you," Sarah said slowly with raised hands to show she meant no harm. Her message however, was not well received. Scarlett let out an angry growl, but after everything she'd been through Sarah couldn't blame her for being angry.

Scarlett once again jumped towards Sarah, her jaw open and ready to bite into Sarah's flesh. Luckily Sarah was just fast enough to duck and roll out off the way as Scarlett went flying past. With her line of sight blocked by the tree Sarah used that chance to change direction and zip back towards the road as Scarlett leapt out from behind the tree only to see Sarah running the other way.

Making it back to the road, Sarah ran for the intersection up ahead where she saw a waiting car. Maybe she could out run Scarlett in a car, at least until she got into town anyway.

Running for the car she suddenly stopped when she spotted Stefan standing by the driver's door. After smashing the window he reached in and pulled out Logan Fell who he threw to the ground. He tried to get back up and fight but Sarah was too fast and swiftly kicked him back down before Damon fired two wooden bullets into his chest.

"Payback's a bitch, isn't it?" Damon said aloud as he glared down at Logan.

"Get her out of here?" Damon ordered to Stefan who ran around the other side off the car while Damon headed for the driver's side.

"Watch him," Damon ordered as he threw the gun to Sarah who caught it with ease and aimed it at Logan. Though she was watching out the corner of her eye in case Scarlett suddenly jumped out at her.

"Sheriff, yeah, it's Damon," he said into a phone Sarah presumed was Logan's. There was a pause from Damon as he waited for the Sheriff's reply and during that time Sarah saw Stefan make a hasty exit with Caroline in his arms. She made a mental note to ask about that later.

"She's okay. I'm on Elm Street," Damon said before hanging up the phone and walking around to the back of the car where he opened up the trunk. Once he had retrieved his weapon, a tire iron, he closed the trunk and made his way back over to Sarah's side.

"Gonna try this one more time," Damon said as he patted the tire iron into the palm of his hand while Sarah kept the gun trained on Logan. "Who turned you?"

"I told you I don't know," Logan said form the ground.

"Is that your final answer?" Damon asked as he held the tire iron above his head, ready to swing through and take Logan's head clean off.

"How can you side with them?" Logan asked, trying to buy himself a few precious seconds.

"I don't side with anyone. You pissed me off. I want you dead," Damon said with a glare to show he meant it.

"Who turned you?" Sarah asked, sensing this was important.

"I don't know!" Logan shouted and Sarah pulled the trigger firing two more bullets, this time into his thy and shoulder.

"Nice one, Sis," Damon said with a grin as Logan let out a painful shout. Sarah didn't return it. After everything he'd recently put her through he was lucky he wasn't getting a bullet himself.

"Looks like your time is up," Damon said as he went to swing forwards with the tire iron only to stop when Logan shouted out.

"Wait, wait! I do know," He confessed.

"You're lying," Damon growled at him, knowing he was desperate to save his own neck.

"Tell us now or I let him finish you," Sarah said as she lowered the gun, waiting for Logan's answer. He looked like he was just about to give up the name when suddenly Scarlett leapt through the air growling at them all as she ran across the road.

"Get back!" Sarah yelled as she pulled Damon away from the defenceless Logan as Scarlett dug her canine fangs into his shoulder, his scream echoing all around the road.

"What the hell?" Damon said with wide eyes.

"Loop back around and grab him. I'll lure it away," Sarah ordered as she pushed Damon away from the scene.

"Go, I'll explain later," Sarah said before he could question her but he still didn't move. "Go!" Sarah shouted and finally Damon took off in a blur leaving Sarah to deal with Scarlett who was getting a good taste of Logan as he screamed in pain.

"Scarlett!" Sarah shouted and the wolf looked up with its amber eyes to meet Sarah's green ones. Recognizing her original target, Scarlett bared her fangs and jumped off Logan as Sarah ran back off into the woods. She just had to keep her busy until she turned back to normal. Sadly Sarah had no idea how long that would take or even if it would happen. Looking up at the full moon as she ran she listened to the familiar howl that followed her through the woods. All Sarah wanted was for this horrible day to end.

When Scarlett finally awoke, the sun was up and she was lying naked in the forest. Sitting up confused and cold, Scarlett pulled herself into a ball as she hugged herself for warmth. Last night was a mixture of flashing imagines but the one that stuck out most to her was the one of her murdering her uncle. She knew it wasn't a dream despite knowing her actions weren't her own.

At the time she hadn't been entirely sure why she did what she did but now she did. It had been Sarah, the vampire. She had somehow made her murder her uncle, though Scarlett would be lying if she said she hadn't considered doing it herself. All Sarah had done was give her the strength to go through with it.

As if on cue Scarlett then felt something covering her shoulders and looked up to see Sarah putting her leather jacket on her bare skin. Pulling the jacket around her naked body, covering her sensitive areas, Scarlett looked up as Sarah offered her a friendly smile.

"Why don't you come with me," Sarah said, no hatred in her voice or even a grudge after what happened last night. Scarlett just nodded her head as Sarah helped her up to her bare feet before then leading her back through the forest towards the Salvatore house. The teenage girl had no idea what she'd just stepped into.
