Elena woke up in shock confused about where she was, before everything from the night before came rushing back. The pills, the fall...Stefan's face, what was that? Maybe it was just the overdose, maybe the pills and reacted with the alcohol, and it was all a hallucination.. Yes that was it she had just imagined it.
Elena sat up in bed, her head still hurt and the room spun little as she tried to get her bearings. Elena looked around the room trying to familiarise herself with the foreign surroundings.
Elena eased herself to the edge of the bed and was about to get up when Stefan appeared in the door way startling Elena. "Where do you think your going?" Stefan said watching Elena attempt to get out of bed.
"Jesus Stefan, you scared me" Elena said getting flashes of Stefan's face from last night.
"Sorry" Stefan said apologising. He moved closer scaring Elena a little, as all she could think about was the way his face veined up and the fangs? His eyes?. Elena shook her head trying to get the images of Stefan out of her mind
"Im going to school, I'm going to be late" Elena said moving back from Stefan little as he made her nervous.
"I don't think so you need to rest! ..Elena are you okay?"Stefan said noticing the way Elena was backing away from him.
"Im fine just little headache, and I need to go" Elena said standing up a little to quickly loosing her balance. Stefan moved quickly using his speed to catch her.
"Elena!" Stefan said rushing to her side. Elena socked at what she 'thought' she saw let herself fall into Stefan's arms before using him as a crutch to help her stand up.
Elena looked into Stefan's eyes searching for what she saw last night. Elena though she was loosing it no way anyone could move that quickly.
"How did you do that?" Elena asked still gripping on Stefan for support.
"Do what Elena?" Stefan asked knowing full well what she was referring too.
"You were just on the other side of the room how did you get over her so quickly?" Elena asked shocked.
"Elena you have a head injury I was standing right next to you the whole time" Stefan said guiding elena back to bed.
"Yeah I think I'm just...tired" Elena said gladly lying back down in bed.
"I'll go get you something to eat and drink" Stefan said tucking Elena back in bed before heading downstairs.
"How is she?"Damon said looking at Stefan, he looked flustered.
"Not good she thinks she's loosing it, she slipped and I had to use my speed to catch her, she saw and I had to convince her it was just her head playing tricks on her, I can't tell her Damon" Stefan said not realising that Elena had followed him downstairs and had herd everything.
"Tell me what?" Elena said struggling to hold herself up she was leaning against the wall and stair rails for support.
"Elena w-what are you doing up?" Stefan said shocked.
Elena ignored Stefan's question grabbing her things and walking towards the front door, she passed a mirror in the hallway shocking herself at her reflection, she was covered in dried blood and she looked extremely pale.
"Elena wait! don't leave" Stefan said rushing into the hallway to try and stop her. Damon followed close behind not for Stefan but for Elena.
"You lied to me and if you don't tell me what the hell is going on, I'm walking out that door" Elena said moving closer and closer to the door.
"Okay i'll tell you, just please come sit down" Stefan said almost begging now. Stefan moved closer to Elena who didn't seem to fight against him. Stefan put his arm around her waist lifting her slightly off the ground to take some of her weight, he slowly walked her over to the couch and rested her down.
Elena felt weak and she didn't have the energy to fight against Stefan anymore. "Please tell me" Elena muttered out letting her exhausted body sink into the soft couch.
"Elena I need you to say really calm okay?" Stefan said calmly trying to soothe Elena.
"Stefan please just tell me what happened between you and Katherine" Elena said wanting to know.
"Elena this isn't about Katherine, its about me" Stefan said looking back at Elena to see her reaction, she looked confused.
"Stefan what are you on about?" Elena asked willing Stefan to tell her.
"Everything you know, and every belief that you have is about to change are you ready for that?" Stefan said this time looking back a Damon.
Elena laughed for a second before realised Stefan was serious. Elena thought for a second what else could it be about if not Katherine. "Stefan what is going on" Elena said looking him in the eye, demanding the truth.
"Let me show you" Stefan said letting his fangs appear to show Elena, his face veined up and his eyes turned red with lust.
"The face" Elena stuttered out now trying to get as far away from Stefan as possible. Memories came back in flashes reminding Elena of the night before.
Stefan quickly retracted his fangs, his face returning to normal. "Elena please don't be scared of me, I would never hurt you" Stefan said in his calming voice but Elena was to panicked to listen.
"What are you?!" Elena screamed out now trying to run towards the door, she had picked up the fire poker as a weapon.
"Im a Vampire, please don't be afraid of me" Stefan said slowly moving closer, Elena was hysterical now, laughing, crying she didn't know what to feel, in a panic Elena plunged the fire poker into Stefan's chest and ran.
"Ahhh" Stefan screamed in pain. Damon thought and acted quickly speeding towards the door and blocking off the entrance.
"H-how did you?... I shouldn't of come here" Elena stuttered out again trying to unlock the front door.
Elena looked back to see Stefan writhing with pain, struggling to pull the metal bar from his chest.
"Elena!" Damon said now blocking the only exit. Elena refused to listen still trying to get out of the door, twisting the handle vigorously. "Elena!... Calm down... Don't move." Damon said now compelling Elena to listen to him. Elena froze in her spot.
Damon walked over to Stefan and ripped the bar from his chest earning another painful scream from Stefan. Damon then walked back over to Elena.
"Stefan and I are vampires, were 162 years old and were not going to harm you, I want you to go take a seat in the living room and Stefan will explain everything but I need you to keep calm. Can you do that for me?" Damon asked stroking Elena's cheek gently.
"Im going to take a seat and I'm going to keep calm, why am I so calm?" Elena asked walking to the couch again.
"Because I told you to be" Damon said smiling offering his brother a hand up, who was also struggling to heal due to his diet of animal blood. "You alright brother?" Damon said pouring him a well deserved glass of bourbon.
Stefan sat down next to Elena and took her hand gently. "Is there anything you want to ask?" Stefan asked softly wincing at his healing would.
"I stabbed you, your healing?" Elena asked watching his chest wound slowly knit back together and the bleeding subside.
"Vampire blood heals, last night when you hit your head Damon and I had to heal you, we fed you our blood" Stefan said slowly.
"Im I going to become a vampire?" Elena asked feeling worried but remaining calm.
"No you have to die with vampire blood in your system, then feed on a human to complete the transition, thats why you need to stay here until it passes out of your system" Stefan said offering a smile knowing Elena was only staying calm because of the compulsion.
"Damon is going to release you from his compulsion but I want you to trust me" Stefan said waving Damon over.
Damon looked Elena in the eye again, "Forget what I told you and that I compelled you to be calm, I release you from my compulsion" Damon said now backing off, watching Elena fill with worry and fear once more.
"I should have never of come!" Elena said now panicking again.
Elena ran to the door again this time neither one of the brothers tried to stop her. Elena ran outside and was momentarily blinded by the sun light.
Stefan sped outside and stopped in front of Elena.
"Let me go" Elena said trying to find away around Stefan.
"Please don't be afraid of me, theres things you need to know and understand" stefan said putting his hands out to try and stop Elena.
"Let go of me" Elena said pushing Stefan aside and making a run for it.
"Please Elena" Stefan said letting her go. Elena kept running till she was far away from the premises, she kept on running till she reached her house, her hands frantically shook trying to get the key in the door, once she got the door open she ran inside sealing off every entrance making sure no-one could get in especially not Stefan. Only then did she collapse with exhaustion. The house was empty Jeremy was at school and Jenna at work.
Elena buried her head in her hands crying, she was confused how could this be happening, it doesn't make sense. Elena was snapped out of her trance, she felt the presence of someone else, slowly lifting her head to see feet in front of her.
"Elena" It was Stefan's voice, she shivered at the sound of it. Elena ran to her bedroom door to try and escape but Stefan was fast and he closed the door just as fast as she could open it, he had her pinned against the door. Elena whimpered wanting to get away from him.
"I would never hurt you, your safe with me" Stefan said wanting Elena to believe him.
"Then why do I feel so frightened" Elena said.
"Elena I will explain everything but please I beg you, do not tell anybody!" Stefan said getting frustrated but renaming calm so he didn't frighten Elena anymore.
"How could you ask me that" Elena said with tears in her eyes, now turning around to face Stefan.
"Because you knowing this is dangerous, for so many reasons, you can hate me, but I need you to trust me" Stefan said begging Elena to trust him.
"Just go..just go..please go, If you mean me no harm then you'll go" Elena said letting a tear escape.
Stefan hesitated backing off slightly "I never wanted this" Stefan said speeding off. Elena closed her eyes for a second and when she opened them, Stefan was gone.
