Elena POV
School was easy; Elizabeth was talking to her mentally while Stefan glared at her while she gave me answers; lunch was normal filled with chattering, more boring lessons and then she went home.
She felt strange though, like someone was following her, making sure about something that she couldn't possibly understand.
In her bedroom she caught something out of the corner of her eye, a man with ash blonde hair was looking into her room window. When he saw her looking he ran while she ran to the phone. Stefan, pick up!
He did after the second ring.
"Elena? What's wrong?"
"Man, outside my house, I think he was a vampire!"
"I'll be right over with Anna, don't you or Jeremy leave the house!"
All she got then was the dial tone.
Five minutes later Stefan and Anna were catching the scent in the garden.
"Stefan, I've smelt this scent before."
"Me too, it was on Elizabeth when she was attacked."
"Where is she?"
"She said she had to get some bits from town, what if he was looking for her, to get rid of the competition!"
"Elena," Anna called, she ran down the steps, "Keep in the house, and keep Jeremy and Bonnie with you."
"We have to go Elena." Stefan leant in and kissed her on the forehead.
"Bye."
They were gone and she went to the kitchen where Jeremy and Bonnie sat across from each other eating cereal.
"So, what's up sis?"
"The vampire who attacked Elizabeth was here, and she is in town, they just went to check up on her."
"Okay… Cheerio?"
"Jeremy, this isn't a laughing matter, tell him Bon."
"Jeremy, stop being a prat and Elena chill."
"Who asked your opinion?"
"You did."
They all settled down for the evening in front of the T.V. and soon all dozed off into a black sleep.
Anna POV
They ran, she felt her unbeating heart strain against her chest in sheer worry for her best friend.
When they found her she was in the garden looking at the tulips.
"Are you okay El?"
"Fine, why?"
"Umm… No reason."
"Okay, Anna, you are officially the worst liar when it comes to me. What's up?"
"Stefan will tell you." She jumped to the side to let Stefan come into view.
"Well, the vampire who attacked you…"
"Is a dead moron when I find him?"
"… Well, he was outside Elena's and ran when she spotted him, so he's in town."
"Where did you trace the scent to?"
"We didn't," Anna stepped forward again, "we came straight to you when we didn't know where he had gone just encase."
"That was so sweet, and incredibly annoying, now I can't find him, oh well."
"You're not mad?"
"No Anna, but I suggest we go home and think this one though. Is that okay with you Stefan?"
"Yup, fine by me."
They ran and Anna felt relieved her friend wasn't mad at her.
As they got to their home a blonde figure stood outside lazily waiting for them and regaining his posture when they got closer.
"What the hell?"
Elizabeth POV
Anna froze, she glanced at the stranger.
"Who the hell are you?" She was annoyed; she recognised his scent and hated him straight away.
"Name's William."
"What Shakespeare?" He carried a heavy English accent and could easily pass for a lord back over one hundred years ago.
He had ash blonde hair and chocolate brown eyes. He wore light blue jeans and a white vest shirt.
"Sassy, I like it."
"What do you want Shakespeare?"
"Katherine sent me, she wants you back Elizabeth, she doesn't to have to kill you."
"I'm already dead, thicko!"
"Whatever, anyway she wants to meet you and soon, and she is going to kill your little friends if you don't go."
"You can tell my sister I'm tired of being her pet. That's what you're becoming, her lap dog, how does it feel, because whatever she told you was a lie."
"It's true you know?" She smiled at her friend.
"I'm sorry, who are you munch kin?"
"Anna and I am not at munch kin."
"Sorry, no pun intended." He raised his hands in a surrendering notion.
"Is that all you want Shakespeare? Because Katherine is nothing compared to what you could have in your eternal life and you're screwing it up perfectly."
"I know, I'm an ultimate power, but whatever I wanted in life was taken."
"What was that?" She actually cared how he felt, she knew him, but from where?"
"You don't even remember me, do you?"
"That one I am struggling with, sorry."
"I went to one of your last schools and you took me to prom, I was lucky, but…"
"…But what?"
"You didn't love me." He looked up at her with a tear in his eye.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, but my sister is no way to get back at me."
"I'm trying to protect you from her!"
He was in front of her now, gazing deep into her eyes.
"Anna?"
"Yes El?"
"Do you mind giving us a minute?"
"I'll go see Damon." That was a slight threat there saying I can get him here at any moment so no funny business. She was gone.
"Look, William, I am really sorry, but I can't be in love with you, but you will find someone someday, just please stay away from my sister, please."
"You can say that, you already found your true love, I have to get back to Katherine. Bye."
"I really am sorry." He stopped in his tracks, turned to face her. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead and left.
She always loved him like a brother and now Katherine was screwing him over, she was mad now.
She went into her room and changed into a white silk night gown and went to bed, it was only 7 o'clock, but she exhausted, finally knowing who her attacker was, but she never found out exactly why he didn't kill her. But she knew in her sub conscience, he didn't want this life and he didn't her to be dead; dead.
She drifted into an empty night sleep, only waking once though the night to find Anna in her bed then she went back to sleep and did not wake since.
