Hey guys! So sorry I haven't updated for so long, but you know, college started again.

The turning point

Third POV

Logan Fell is standing outside on Gilbert's porch. Jenna is talking to him from inside the front doorway. Another man is observing the scene from across the road but neither Jenna nor Logan is paying attention to him. They seemed to argue, as usual. The man across the road is hesitant, should he intervene and reveal himself ou should he stay hidden? Logan opened his mouth to say something, but Jenna slammed the door ins his face. Logan, clearly frustrated with the way their conversation went, walked to the edge of the porch. He saw a neighbor taking out the garbage. The man gave him a polite wave and walked back toward his house. Logan was breathing out heavily. Suddenly, a woman came jogging around the corner. Logan turned to look at her. She stared at him as she was jogging past him, but stopped abruptly. Logan turned to face her again. They engaged in the conversation, the woman was flirting heavily with him… too much for her own sake. Logan's eyes started to vamp out. Daphne screamed as Logan went in to bite her neck. The man across the road watched everything and went back from where he came, unnoticed.

Stefan's POV

I walked into the parlor where Damon was staring out the window.

"So any idea of where you'll go?" I asked

"I don't know. London, maybe. See some friends" He answered evasively

"You don't have any friends, Damon" I replied

"You're right, Stefan. I only have you. So where are we going" He turned away from the window?

"We are not going anywhere. I'm gonna live my life as far away from you as possible… But maybe you should ask Tristan to come with you. Is he your new best buddy now?" I half-joked.

"Again with the questions, Stefan. I told you, we are not friends. It was purely a… circumstantial alliance" he said. I was about to reply when the doorbell rang. I left the parlor and opened the front door. Liz Forbes was waiting outside. She asked to see Damon and she looked… upset. Damon led the Sheriff to the backyard.

"Um, I hope you understand the secrecy. Stefan doesn't know about this yet and I'd like to keep it that way" I had to admit that my brother was a great actor.

"Of course, kids are too young to be brought into this" She seemed to totally buy it. "There has been another attack. A female victim, her throat torn out. It fits the pattern" Okay, that is why the Sheriff was upset.

"I'm sorry. I don't understand. I thought we solved that problem when I killed the blond one" A great actor indeed. Their conversation went on but I was having my own idea on who the culprit was.

Isabel's POV

I was walking down the hallway with Bonnie and Elena when we saw Matt and Caroline having a very intense debate… And there it went, THE conversation about boys.

"Have you seen Stefan. I'd like to thank him. He kind of saved my life" Bonnie asked

"Nope. Not since he told me he was leaving" Elena looked upset

"He wouldn't leave without saying goodbye" Bonnie tried to confort her

" Yes, he would. He thinks he's protecting me. Clean break and all that." Elena retreived her books from her locker.

"So what are you gonna do?" Bonnie questionned

"What am I supposed to do? I've already begged hom not to go. If I ask again, I'm being selfish. It is what it is" Elena was getting angrier.

"But enough talking about me. What's between you and Lucien?" Elena suddenly interrupted, and it took me a few moments to realize she was talking to me.

"There's nothing to say. We're friends" I managed to mumble.

"Oh, come on. I always know when you're hiding something. Spill it" Bonnie said faking serious.

Stefan's POV

Damon and Liz were at the front door while I was sitting in the parlor, still listening to them. Liz exited and Damon shut the door. I got up and vamp speeded over to Damon. I grabbed him by his shirt and held him against the door.

"What is wrong with you? You killed somebody?" I screamed

"Get off of me. A… don't touch me. B… If I had I wouldn't have been so obvious about it. C…There's another vampire in town" Well, it let me doubtful. I mean, I'm not sure about anything when it comes to Damon. But it could also be Tristan who'up to God knows what. Or… there could be another vampire in town.

Isabel's POV

I just parted ways with Elena at the front of the school. I continued to walk forward when I met those dark eyes I knew all too well. Lucien. He was here, at the school, in front of me

"Hi" He stood up. "We need to talk" He seemed serious.

"About what?" But I suspected I knew all too well what he wanted to talk about.

"You already know. About what happened last night" He seemed more and more serious.

"I… I… don't know" I mumbled

"That's okay. Take any time you need" I don't know why but I and he didn't seem so convinced by that. "Apart from that, there's another vampire town. So until we know what he's doing here and what he wants, I want you to be careful". He didn't smile at all, which was unusual for him. Then, when he was about to leave "But I'm not going to wait indefinitely" I could hear his voice but he didn't open his mouth. Was it in my head

Third POV

Damon turned to face the entrance of the warehouse. He walked up the steps and opened the door, entering the warehouse. He looked around as he walked deeper into the warehouse. Suddenly, Logan Fell shooted Damon multiple times. He groaned in pain and fell on his knees to the floor. Logan was approaching him.

"I have tons of there wooden bullets, so nothing funky. Logan was circling around Damon, holding the gun. Outside the building, the man-who-was-standing-across-the -road… was still standing across the road. Le listened as Logan shooted Damon in the shoulder and as he screamed in pain.'

"You made me like this" Logan crouched in front of Damon.

"I killed you. I didn't turn you" There was the interesting part, the part that the man across the road would like to know.

Isabel's Pov

The career fair was in full swing at the school. Not like I knew what I wanted to do. Did I would even have a future. I mean, I'm a witch, this city is packed with vampires and… one of them just kissed me two days prior. I was approaching Matt and Elena when Elena re-entered the tray.

"What about you, Isabel Jones? You still haven't told me what happened between you and Lucien and I want all the details" she spoke smilingly

"There's nothing much to say. He kissed me. And then I got inside the house and locked the door. That 's all" I finally admitted.

"You mean, you didn't kiss him back" she seemed surprised. I didn't want to answer that, so I just walked away.

Third POV

"What about walking in the sun? I'm a morning person. You can walk in the sun which, by the way, is pretty cool. The council will never suspect you. That's not in the journals" Logan spoke calmer than earlier.

"The journals?" Damon sounded confused

"Yeah, the founding fathers, they passed down journals on their kids. Come on man, you gotta tell me. How can you walk in the sun?" Logan pleaded

"Who turned you?" Damon replied back.

"You know, I've been really nice so far but I will kill you" Logan started to lose his temper again. The man across the road was still listening to the skirmish, but, this time, he decided that it was time to intervene.

"Then you'll never know" Damon stood up "You're not answering my question"

"You first" Logan talked back

"It seems we're a bit of an impasse then, doesn't?" Damon finally managed to stand up despite his wounds.

"I have things to do, people to kill. Guess I'll be needing a little head start" Logan was about to shoot at Damon again when a hand coming out from nowhere prevented him from doing so.

"I don't think so, Mr. Fell," the man said. Judging that the man was too strong for him, Logan vamp speeded out of the warehouse and disappeared in the night.

"Couldn't you have come earlier and spared me the unnecessary holes into my skin?' Damon was angry

"Watch your tongue, Mr. Salvatore. Better not to forget who's in charge here" Tristan threatened.

"And you better remember whom your allies are" Damon retorted before storming out into the night.

Isabel's POV

I was leaning against a wall when I noticed someone leaning against the wall across me. And that was none other than Lucien. There… we were going to have it… THE conversation.

"I'm guessing you're not here to plan a path for your future" I paused. "You were looking for me," I noticed. I then walked over to a table, looking at the career pamphlets set up. Lucien walked over to me.

"You know, I was a servant when I was human. I didn't have any future. Becoming a vampire basically freed me. That was my future" He said seriously. He was right behind me – very close to me –. I didn't say anything because I did not know what to answer to that statement. So I looked away.

"So, what about you? What are your plans for your future?" He smiled

"I' sorry Lucien. But I'm not discussing my future with you. Because everything you just said made clear that you're not gonna be in it" I spoke at him and left. He followed me out of the room. Now that I'm rethinking that, he was making clear that he would not take no for an answer. And just then our eyes fell upon… Logan Fell. You knew the dead guy of the news.

"Isabel, why don't you go somewhere else?" Lucien suggested. Seeing that the situation would go… tenser; I did what he said. I did not go very far though because I didn't know why but I wanted to be there if anything happened to Lucien. From where I was standing, I could see that the conversation was very… animated.

Third POV

Damon hanged up the phone with Sheriff Forbes and opened Logan's trunk. He grabbed a tire iron.

"Gonna try this one more time" Damon was swinging the tire iron, indicating he would harm Logan "Who turned you?"

"I told you I don't know" Logan insisted but clearly not in the dominating position anymore.

"This tire iron could take your head clean off" He was holding it in a swinging position"

"How can you side with him?" Logan pleaded

"I don't side with anyone. You pissed me off. I want you dead. Who turned you?" Damon asked the last time.

"I don't know. This time, Logan was almost begging for his life"

"Oh well, you're screwed" Damon started to swing the tire iron towards Logan's head

"Wait, wait! I do know" Logan knew this was his last chance

"You're lying" Damon replied

"There's another way to get into that tomb underneath the church. Just ask him" Logan admitted

Isabel's POV

Stefan entered the school and stood up at the end of a hallway looking over at Elena. As soon as we saw him, we quickly walked over to him

"Caroline" Elena inquired worriedly. And I was just like her.

"She's ok. I took her home. She was shaken up. But all she knows is that Logan attacked her. Nothing else" Stefan reassured us.

"Where's Logan" I wondered

"Damon's dealing with him". Honestly, I didn't want to hear anything else about it. I could sense that Elena and Stefan needed some time alone, so I decided to go home and to bed after that long hard day. I was walking in the hallways toward the exit when I stumbled upon Lucien.

"Where are you going?'" He inquired

"Home" I walked past him. But when I was about to walk through the door, I felt the need to turn back to him and I asked "Do you want me to take you to your place?".

"Okay" he simply answered and went with me.

We pulled up to the driveway of his home. It was a big property outside of town at the border of the woods.

"You asked me what I wanted my future to be. Honestly, I don't know. For all my life, I've been rejected because I am different. I guess that I will always be different" He got out of the car and I remained in it for a moment, but eventually I got out. He was walking from the driveway towards the house. I ran to him. He stopped on the porch and turned to face me. I didn't know what feeling came over me at that time, but I put my lips on his… and he kissed me back.

Third POV.

Logan was exiting the warehouse. He moved to his car but head a loud clang from behind him. He turned around to investigate and then turned back towards his car. Alaric was blocking his way

"Who are you?" Logan asked.

"A friend of Jenna's" Alaric replied

"Ah, I get it. Well, buddy, I know you think that makes you brave. But actually, it makes you pretty stupid." Alaric slowly took the hidden stake from inside his sleeve. Alaric tried to attack Logan but he was faster than him and threw Alaric to the ground. Logan was towering Alaric threatening him. Suddenly, Logan was abruptly stopped in his tracks, and he fell to the ground… dead, a hole in his back and his heat next to him.

"Humans… ready to do the most stupid things for love" Tristan sighed.
