Chapter 11

Alrighty...we have finally made it close to the ending. I might make only one last chapter after this one. Hope you guys enjoy it and don't feel shy to comment- I don't bite. I'm not a vampire (yet).

The emptiness inside Stefan made him feel as if a hole was growing larger as time moved on. He clenched his teeth and tried to distract him by thinking about Elena, and how he didn't get to spent any time alone with her. But his need to feed on blood had to wait.

"Don't be stupid, little brother," said Damon, which was something that had become his trade mark sentence. "You'll need some strength to face the little devils."

"We don't have time for that right now. " He held the little bottle that was filled with a potion, on which Bonnie had recited a spell upon. Stefan felt that it was wrong to bring her along.

As they walked down the street, Stefan felt their force even more. They must have hidden in some basement, since Stefan sensed that the group of demons beneath him. He turned to say something to Damon, but Damon was gone. Stefan was too distracted by the force of demons to notice that his brother decided to go without him.

How naive of him. He will ruin the whole plan, Stefan thought angrily. Kayllan seemed to have left them for good, without his condition. But that seemed impossible, since demons take deals like that deadly serious. He'd be back.

"Here, I brought you a snack." Damon's playful voice came from behind him. Stefan turned around and found that his brother had brought a dazzled, young woman, wearing a beige and golden medieval gown.

"Forget it. Take her back from where you got her, "said Stefan coldly, while turning his back to his brother.

"Oh, come on, little brother. I'm just so worried about you," Damon replied in a faked sweet tone and put his hand on Stefan's back. "I already had some. Here take some. She still has enough blood." Stefan yanked Demon's hand away

Stefan wanted to refuse, but the smell of her blood hit him with an even stronger force than the demons'. "I can't believe that I'm letting you talk me into this."

"Don't feel guilty, St. Stefan. It's our nature and it's about time to realize that you need human blood."

"Thanks for your concern, but I prefer animal blood." He walked off, leaving the stunned Damon with the dazed blonde behind.

"Elena! Come here!" Bonnie looked up from the witche's potion and spells book with an excited expression on her face. Elena hurried to sit beside Bonnie who had spread herself comfortably on the floor of Stefan's bedroom. The page she had open showed an illustration of a familiar figure.

"Isn't that Kayllan?"

"Yes. Oh Elena, how did I miss this?"

Meredith who was nibbling on a piece of bread came to sit with her to friends to see what they were so excited about. "What is it?"

"Look, there is some information about him." She pointed her small index finger on the paragraph beneath the illustration. "It says there that Kayllan is a demon king who ranks among the fairies because his mother was a fairy."

Meredith frowned and took a closer look at the paragraph. "How is that supposed to help with anything? And how can you read this? It's gibberish."

"I can't read it either. Maybe only people with Bonnie's gift can read and understand this."

Bonnie looked at both of her friends, confused. "I don't understand. The writing is as clear as English to me."

"Not that it matter's right now. I mean it's very useful, but you wanted to explain something to us." Elena looked at her impatiently.

"Right. So, what is a king before he becomes king?" Bonnie's eyes became larger as she waited for her friends to guess the answer.

"A prince. Now stop making us wait. Tell us your point." Bonnie smiled at them secretively.

"My point is that usually, a prince has to marry to a princess to become king."

Now the three of them were smiling. They might had to make another spiritual call, but it was worth it.

Stefan had finished feeding and got back to Damon. `Let`s not waste anymore time. I hope that erased her memory.

They finally arrived at the old pub that felt that it was filled with thousands of demons. Stefan opened the cap of the little bottle and with his supernatural speed; he dropped the liquid into an equal circle outside of the pub. Smoke rose from the need line of potion spread on the floor.

Alright Damon. It`s your turn go inside to warn them. Damon was gone one second later and Stefan grabbed the torch he brought along and lit it up. He waited for Damon's signal.
