I looked at Stefan.
"I'll go myself." I whispered but I knew he had heard. "Caroline will show me."
"Elena…please I didn't mean too."
"Stefan. I need to be away from you for a while."
"Elena."
I ran out the house before he could catch me. I didn't bother with the car I was faster. I kept running till I was in public and ran smack into a blonde girl.
"Hello Elena. I've come to watch over you." She said in a voice that was European but not.
"And you are?" I asked.
"I am Rebekah. Nick is my brother."
"Nick?"
"You may know him as Klaus or K."
"He did this to me."
"Yes."
"Why?"
"You're asking the right question just not the right person." She snarled. "I do not know why he has chosen someone who is nothing to become a vampire."
"Shut up."
"What?"
"SHUT UP!" I shouted at her as she opened her mouth which had fangs. She grabbed my neck and my feet came off the floor. Her other hand pulled back into a fist and smashed into my face. She then threw me to the floor and gave me a good stab with a twig. It went into my leg and it hurt as if I was dying. Rebekah then stood me up and pulled out the twig.
"Do not speak to me like that, I can't kill you but I can hurt you. Now I was sent her to look after you. We'll be living in an apartment and I am currently having your stuff moved over to my…our apartment. Now, why don't we eat?"
"Eat what?"
"Samuel, come out." She said as a young boy about 17 came out of the tree's surrounding us. He had hair the colour of darkness and eyes the colour of mud. His neck dripped with blood and it was hard to resist. My canines lengthened and I plunged them into his neck. He didn't make a sound or feel scared. His arm came round to hold my waist but I was too engrossed in his neck. His hand travelled a bit down and he cupped my bum. He started to try to feel more than he should when Rebekah pulled him away. I was still hungry but I didn't want to make her angry again. She looked at the boy in the eyes and whispered something to him. He then came back over and I plunged back into his neck. When he started to go limp I knew I should have stopped but instead I just supported his weight. When his heart stopped I knew I should have stopped but I knew there were a couple more drops left. When I could get no blood I dropped him on the floor like a used up juice box. Rebekah stuck a match on the road and set the body on fire. The body was just ashes in a couple of minutes. I looked at Rebekah feeling ashamed but she just smiled at me. I was confused wasn't it bad to kill.
"Come on; time to get to see the apartment. I heard it was Stefan who did this to you, under compulsion. It was the witch Klaus used. She wanted to get back at Klaus. She's dead now though so you don't have to worry. Come on."
Rebekah took me to a nice apartment, it was small but cosy. All my stuff was waiting in the living room when we got back and Rebekah helped me get everything sorted. She wasn't cold she just needed someone to talk too. I know remembered everyone calling her cold, but she wasn't. I was now at home and I felt safer here for an hour than I had with Stefan today, I didn't know what he would do. Rebekah had kept him away while I tried to cry. She comforted me towards the end and I was glad she did.
When I woke up after my sadness I felt a bit better. I wasn't dead in the ground at least. I was now an equal to Stefan if I ever managed to talk to him. There was bangs rising from another room and as I felt better today I decided to go and investigate. Fighting in the living room with Rebekah was Damon. The floor board moaned under my weight and both pair of eyes turned to me. Rebekah's friendly and caring were Damon's were dark and curious.
"Who did this too you Elena?" He asked slowly as if I was a two year old.
"Stefan did this to me Damon, Stefan your brother. Now I want to know where you have been."
"I have been away from civilisation as you call it my princess of darkness."
"And why have you been away?"
"He has been bitten by a werewolf so I was just trying to get rid of him. He is too dangerous to be around Elena." Rebekah said as she walked slowly (well not slowly but normal human speed) to my side. She was standing protectively over me.
"Rebekah, is there no cure? You are an original. You must know if there is one."
"Well, I know there is one cure but I am not sure if Damon Salvatore here would like it or use it."
"What is it?" Damon growled from across the room.
"I will not tell you if you talk to me like that." Rebekah said as she gave Damon a look which I did not fully understand. Damon was standing with his hands around her neck in an instant. A stake pressing to her chest, I reacted quickly and pushed him out the way. The stake went flying and luckily landed in the fire.
"Elena." Damon said as if he was shocked I had protected her, but lately she was the only one I knew was going to be around.
"The cure Damon is Klaus. Well his blood to be technical. Good luck getting it."
