Never Let Me Fall

Stefan and I both woke up. We were still in the truck. Still in Mystic Falls. "Oh, they live!" Rebekah quipped. It was night-time and Klaus was no where in sight.

Oh this is just great!

"What the hell happened!?" I asked Rebekah. "You, two took a beating. My brother's been snapping your necks all afternoon. Quite the temper." Rebekah told us. I looked at her with shock. "OMG! Am I dead!?" I asked. "No, sweetheart you're not. It's just you have this fragile neck that if you add a little pressure to the back side of it, you'll black out completely. I don't know whether it just runs in your family or mantras are just that weak." Rebekah told me. "Has he ever done this to Amelia?" I asked. "Yes. Once by accident. He never got over it, until she betrayed him. Oh well, at least she didn't get her neck snapped like the rest of his victims!" Rebekah told.

After a while, Stefan was knocked out for a moment. I waited for him to wake up. When he did we went to the only place we knew where Elena might be, during high school prank night. The school.

"Stefan...Ana?" Elena said to us, as we entered the school's gym. "Klaus." Stefan and I said to Klaus, barely looking at Elena. "Come to save your damsel, mate?" Klaus wondered. Before I could say something stupid, Stefan said to Klaus, "I came to ask for your forgiveness. And pledge your loyalty." "Well, you broke that pledge once already." Klaus informed him. "Elena means nothing to me anymore. And what ever you say...I'll do it." Stefan told him. I looked at Stefan for a moment.

Since when did Elena mean nothing to him!? Klaus looked at us for a moment and said, "Fair enough. Lets drink on it. Kill them, both of you. What are you waiting for? Kill them." I looked at Klaus in horror, as he gestured towards two classmates of mine. Why did he wanted me to kill them!? "No, Stefan, don't he's not going to hurt me. He already said..." Elena started. She didn't finish, when Klaus hit her on the back of her head, hard enough to have her fall on the floor. After that Stefan sped towards Klaus and vamps out, only to be stopped when Klaus takes a hold of his throat. I felt fear wash up on me and I ended up running towards Klaus to make sure he wouldn't hurt him.

"Klaus...don't!" I pleaded, as I got next to him. He started to compel both of us. "Stop fighting." He said. Tears were forming in my eyes ."Don't do this, Klaus. Please!" I pleaded. "I didn't want to. All I wanted as your allegiance. Now I'm going to have to take it." Klaus stated. The tears were blurring up my vision slightly. "Don't...don't." Stefan and I pleaded. "You will do exactly as I say when I say it. You will not run, you will not hide, you will simply just obey." Klaus compellingly told us. The tears in my eyes were gone after that. I could hear Elena in the background pleading for us not to lose control. It was too late.

Stefan grabbed me from the waist as we sped up to Dana, a girl from my class. After Stefan was done drinking her blood, I simply snapped her neck, even though she was already dead. After a while or so, Rebekah came storming in babbling about her missing necklace, that Stefan had given to Elena, when they started to date, but Katherine stole it. When Klaus placed a buzzer on the clock, we all looked at him in confusion.

"20 minutes. If Bonnie doesn't find a solution by then, I want you to feed again. Only this time, I want you to feed on both Elena...and Ana. You know you want to." Klaus told Stefan. I looked at Stefan, who looked at me and Elena. "No, Klaus don't do this to him!" Elena yelled at him. "No one leaves, if she tries to leave, fracture her spin. Or if she tries to leave, feed her your blood and kill her." Klaus informed Stefan, while pointing at both Elena and I, before leaving.

Some prank night this turned out for all of us!

Later

After a while, there was only 6 minutes on the clock.

"Stefan, when the clock goes off... I want you to feed from me first. It'll give Elena enough time to exist from the building." I informed Stefan. He shook his head and said, "No, it won't work. The minute I feed from you, you'll be dead in seconds. Not giving Elena much time to run at a normal human pace." "Stefan, you can control this, you're stronger than that. When the buzzer goes off..." I started. "Just...just drink from me." Elena interrupted. I snapped my eyes up at her.

Here I am trying to save her life, and she wants to go back to 'Little Miss Suicidal Elena' again!?

"You two don't get it. I can't stop, Elena! I'm a Ripper! I listen to the words that come out of both of your mouths, and all I hear is the sound of your heart pumping through your body. And when that clock ticks down...I'm going to feed on you. And you know what's worse? I'm not going to be able to stop." Stefan told us both. I looked at him in shock.

Has he been able to hear our hearts beating, when we talk before?

"I don't believe that. You can fight it. You just have to want it bad enough." Elena declared. "For once, I'm with Elena on this one...you ARE stronger than this Stefan...you ARE!" I stated. "Why, because I love you!?" Stefan wondered. It took me a second to realize it was, once again, meant for Elena. "Yeah! That's right, Stefan. Because you love me. You'll fight because of everything we've been through, you owe me that." Elena stated.

Should I really be listening to this conversation, right now?

"You know what? You're right. You're right. I owe you everything. Because through all of this, you're the one thing that has kept me from giving up; from turning it all off. But I can't help what I am, Elena. The more blood that I get, the more I want it, and if I get so much as near yours...you're dead" Stefan claimed. He said the last part, looking at both of us. Stefan and I shared a small glance. We were pretty much having an eye conversation. I nodded slightly knowing what to do now.

Later

"Elena...Ana, you're going to have to run." Stefan told us. He didn't have to remind me. "But Klaus said if I run..." Elena started. "I know what he said, but if you two stay, it wouldn't matter. Elena please please please. Elena there's no other way." Stefan told us. "There is another way, Stefan. It's for you to fight." Elena stated. All of a sudden the clock buzzer started. I was already a good distance away from Stefan and near Elena. "Stefan...I love you. Fight, Stefan don't give up!" Elena told him. "I can't hold it." Stefan told us before he rushed towards us and was already vamped up. Elena screamed as tears threatened to spill down. "Girls, run! Go!" where the last things I heard Stefan say at that moment, before we ran the hell out of that gym.

We ran through the school's hallway, I was so far faster than Elena, until we got to the cafeteria and bumped into Klaus.

Stefan came into the cafeteria seconds later. He staked himself in his body, trying hard to prevent himself from hurting Elena and I. "Now this is fascinating. I've never seen this before. The only thing stronger than your craving for blood is your love for these two girls. Why don't you turn it off?" Klaus wondered. "No!" Stefan demanded. "Come on. Your humanity is killing you. All the guilt must be exhausting. Turn it off." Klaus told him.

I shook my head at Stefan, showing him not to give in. "No!" Stefan repeated. "Stefan..." Elena said nearly under her breath. "You're strong." Klaus started, before he took the stake out from Stefan's body. "But not that strong. Turn...it...off." Klaus finished with a demand. Stefan hesitated slightly, before pushing Klaus back and shouting out, "NO!"

I have to say I'm admiring his strength.

Klaus, a little pissed now, took a hold of Stefan and rammed him against the wall before yelling out,

"TURN IT OFF!"

My face dropped and so did my heart.

He had compelled Stefan.

"What did you do?" Elena managed to ask before I could. I was still in shock. Klaus looked at both of us for a moment before he answered "I fixed him. But I think a test is in order." We both looked at him wondering what test he was referring to.

"Ripper...perhaps you'd like a drink from the doppelgänger's and mantra's neck?" Klaus told him. That's when fear washed up all over my face, when Stefan vamped up and bit both of Elena and mine necks. Elena was the first to be bitten. She screamed. I was the second. I was too horrified and shocked to scream. Plus I didn't want to give him or Klaus the satisfaction by screaming in fear. I ended up blacking out again in the end.

I woke up alone on the cafeteria floor. I was confused. I got up and started to head back home. Just as I had said earlier...what a prank night it turned out for all of us!

(Some prank night huh? (Rolls eyes) Anyway, sorry if it was kinda short. I'll upload more chapters to make up for it.)
