Chapter 3

Stefan Salvatore was sitting in his chair, flipping through his journal from 1863 when he read the passage about Valerie Tulle.

She was his first love and his first…everything to him. His first love, the girl he gave himself to, the first girl to break his heart.

Shutting the book, he placed it back on it's place in his bookshelf as he touched another journal that was from the 1920s.

He had a crush on Caroline Forbes but when he told her, she rejected it by saying that she only had feelings of friendship for him.

He knew at that moment that the pain he caused Elena when he crushed her cruelly a month before the sacrifice, when he dumped her for a chance with Caroline, he was feeling what she felt...it was just doubled.

What good was love anyway?

She ran as fast as her legs could take her. The pain of her transformation was searing through her body like fire and ice replacing the blood until she gets some. Her eyes were wild-feral, even. Her lips were chapped and as she saw a car, she managed to get to it before she fell to her knees beside it, so thirsty.

"Elena?" She didn't even open her eyes to see who it was until arms went underneath her and her head was on a shoulder. "Shhh darling, I got you. Everything will be fine."

"I'm just so thirsty." She moaned lightly. The person carrying her nearly faltered.

"Elijah?" Kol looked at his big brother and the brunette in his arms. His voice carried all throughout the house until Klaus and Rebekah are there to witness the scene.

"Is she?" Rebekah asked, cautiously as she took a step towards them. "I thought…I thought she…died."

"She did." Klaus looked at the girl closer before gulping. "She needs blood. She needs to feed."

"Get a tumbler and fill it with blood." Elijah ordered as he sat on the overstuffed armchair with her on his lap. "Sweetheart, we're going to get you something to drink right now. Okay? Just stay with me."

"M'kay." She muttered with her eyes closed. As soon as Kol came back with the tumbler filled with blood, Elijah pressed the lip of the glass to her lips, tipping it just to coat her lips in the red substance. Her eyes opened instantly and she took the tumbler, draining every last drop of blood from it. "Oh god! That's so good! What is it?"

"Blood." Kol said with a smirk. "Welcome to the land of the vampires and weird hybrid." He joked at Klaus who growled at him. Elena was staring at the glass in her hands and at Elijah, whose lap she was on.

"I…I'm a vampire?" She asked softly and Elijah nodded.

"I'm afraid so my lovely one." He whispered. "Do not worry-I'm sure that my siblings can help with this."

"Brothers, sister, we got ourselves someone to train." Klaus said with a grin at her. "What should we teach her first?"

"How to annoy Nik! Should be the first lesson in being immortal!" Kol joked and Elena giggled.

So far, immortality didn't seem so bad.

"…have you seen Elena?" Bonnie looked at Damon who was by her front door. "She's not at home."

Now Bonnie was confused before she looked at Jamie who just appeared behind her.

"Have you asked Caroline?" She asked. "Though why are you here…in front of me?" Her eyes narrowed and as she made a motion with her hand. He was on his knees in front of her with a massive migraine.

"Bonnie! Knock it off!" Damon growled

"Hmmm…I'm thinking no." She snarled only for him to fight through the pain and nearly attack her.

Nearly, because Abby stopped him by pushing him against a tree and baring her fangs at him as her maternal instincts kicked in when she thought her daughter was in trouble.

"Never go near her again or I'll end you myself." Abby snarled at him.
