Freddie's Decision

Shelby's POV

"Damon why does it have to be me?"

"Because Freddie you are a unique vampire and Shelby is a unique girl. I believe that she is the only one that can become like you."

"I know but still what if it fails and she dies; I don't want that on my conscious."

"She won't die I promise Freddie." Stephan reassured Freddie.

Freddie turned his head towards me and I could tell that he really didn't want to do it. He had a look like he was afraid for me. Carly on the other hand had a look of rage towards me.

"Freddie I can handle it I promise everything will be okay."

"Are you sure Shelby? Once I turn you, you can't go back to the way it was. You do understand that the life you could have will never happen."

"Freddie I understand that, I just want to save the world. Damon told me that you were going to need all the help you could get."

Flashback

"And the winner is Shelby Marx."

"Thank you, thank you very much."

I was walking out of the ring when a strange man walked up to me. He had a strange look in his eyes that seemed so familiar. He was talking to me like he was trying to mesmerize me.

"You will come with me and won't remember anything that happens."

"What are you doing sir; I am not going anywhere with you."

"What how are you stopping my compulsion; you must be wearing fervaine."

"What is fervaine?"

"Wow you really are a unique girl. Please come with me and I will explain everything."

I followed him to the back of the building where he told me everything about vampires being real. He told me that he was a vampire and that he needed my help. He also said that a friend of mine was in danger and I was the only one that could help.

"Who is this person that needs my help?"

"It is Carly Shay and Freddie Benson. You know them from the web show iCarly and you fought Carly in a match."

"How did they get into this?"

"Freddie is my cousin and when he came to visit a while back he was turned into a vampire. Now that he has become one his girlfriend Carly is pregnant with his vampire child. When the baby is born a huge war will break out between Shiners and Werewolves and we must protect the child from them and the hunters who are after the child too."

"But…"

"I don't like to admit it but if we lose this war the world life as we know it will seize to exist."

"But why me?"

"Because my dear you are a unique girl. You are different than the others I meet. You can resist my compulsion without the help of fervaine. You are also the strongest person I have ever met. Doing this will also make you so strong that you won't believe it."

I agreed to go along with him. I walked with him out the door and I met a young girl who was waiting at his car. I walked up to the girl and introduced myself.

"Hi my name is Shelby Marx."

"I am Elena Gilbert."

"Are you a vampire too?"

"No I am not a vampire. My boyfriend is Damon's brother, who is also a vampire; he is out protecting Freddie and Carly now."

"Oh so you are okay with that?"

"I am okay with it because even though he is going to outlive me I feel safe around Stephan and he makes me feel alive."

On the trip to Seattle the car ride was silent. We would stop to get gas and occasionally for beer but this was for Damon since me and Elena weren't old enough to drink yet. After a while Elena started asking me questions about what it was like to be a MMA fighter. I told her all of the stories and how it was like a thrill.

When we finally got here I could sense a presence like no other. I asked Damon what it was but he didn't know. When we finally saw you I could tell that what I was sensing was Freddie. I wasn't a vampire yet but I could still sense him.

End Flashback

"If I do this you will need to feed right away. Once you are turned for the first few days you will need to learn to control the urges. If your transformation will be anything like mine you will feel a lot of pain before it is complete. Once it is complete you should have powers beyond all belief."

"What powers?"

"I don't know Shelby, my new power is to transform into this weird creature. If you become like me you might get the same but each person is different."

I looked back at Damon and he had an annoyed look on him. I then turned and looked at Carly and she had the same look.

"Okay cut the chit chat you love birds. We need to get this rolling so we can move on. We need to get out of here so we can protect you guys from Sherry and Carlyle." Damon said angrily.

"Shelby are you sure you want to do this?"

"Freddie for the last time I am fine with it. Everything will be okay and I am ready to inherit these powers."

"Okay here we go."

Freddie grabbed his arm and bit into it. He had blood coming out of his arm like he hit an artery. I walked towards him with a look of curiosity. He gave me his arm and I dug my mouth into his arm. I drank as much blood as I could without getting puking. After I was done drinking his blood it felt like my insides were on fire.

"Why are my insides on fire?"

"I told you, you were going to feel a lot of pain. It is the poison that is in my blood, it is what makes you get mystical powers. Now here comes the real pain." Freddie said with a weird look on his face.

I had backed up away from him when he speed stepped towards me and snapped my neck. I was dead instantly.

Freddie's POV

"Damon I hope this works."

"Freddie we all hope this works. But to be honest I really don't care either way I just don't want Carlyle to rule the world."

She was dead for several minutes when she finally woke back up.

"Wow that was a really short reanimation time."

"What do you mean Freddie?"

"It took me hours before I came back to life."

"Is that good?"

"I don't know Shelby. Do you feel any different?"

"What do you mean?"

"Do you feel dizzy, headache, fever…."

"Yea but it isn't that bad."

"Shelby go lay down because in a matter of moments it will be so intense that you won't be able to stand. Damon she needs to drink the blood now and if I'm correct it will make the transformation go faster."

Damon handed Shelby the blood and she went inside the hotel room. I followed her inside the room and I made sure that she drank the blood. When she finished off the blood she laid down and I could see that the pain was getting more intense. When she finally passed out I walked outside with the rest of the group.

"What are we going to do while we wait?" I asked,

"Well what do you guys want to do?" Carly asked.

"We can practice or we can go get something to eat." Elena stated.

"Who will watch over Shelby?"

"I guess I will," I stated, "You guys go get something to eat, I'll watch over her."
