Chapter 2: Mixed Feelings

She lifted herself from the floor to and saw Damon with a piece of wood across his leg trying to get it out. But just as she was standing up to help him she felt something pulling her from the arm and remembered what had happened, just one word "Stefan". As soon as she turned around she found herself facing a very angry Stefan and tried to mo move but found herself leaning against a tree and Stefan holding her in place. Who started talking and said "I got out of the room because Bonnie asked me to and when I come back you are nowhere to be found, I assumed you were training with Damon and decided to come see if I could be of any help but when I got here I found you all over him". Elena stood there petrified looking at the hurt and betrayal he reflected from his eyes. Stefan yelled at her to say something, until she spoke and said to him "I am sorry Stefan; I never meant to hurt you" while tears started flowing and she couldn't help to stop them.

Stefan reacted and yelled at her "If you didn't want to hurt me then why did were making out with my brother!" he said this while he punched a tree trying to get the rage out of him. Elena couldn't say anything but "I'm sorry" between tears. Stefan reacted by turning his humanity off for just a second but in that second he grabbed a piece of wood and in a flash his was on top of his brother aiming the stake at his chest. In the last second Elena use her vampire speed and push Stefan off of Damon. Stefan landed a few feet across his brother and within a second flashed out of there.

Elena looked down at Damon who still had the piece of wood through his leg, Elena pulled it one motion. Then she just fell to her knees crying in a second Damon was holding her in his embrace. She just went crying into his chest and saying "He hates me" over and over again, Damon couldn't believe that all of this had happened so fast and he couldn't do anything to help her beside holding her and saying her that everything was going to be ok. Elena managed to stop crying after 10 minutes and find herself staring right into his eyes for comfort and security. She didn't know since when she felt safe around Damon's arms but she did and couldn't care less about that right now.

After everything Damon accompanied Elena home but the whole way there neither one of them spoke not knowing what to say, Elena was still shaken after the events that had happened. At the moment they reached the door he ask her if she would be ok she nodded in response, Damon give her a kiss in the forehead and walk to his car. After Elena saw the car leave she enter her house and went to the kitchen to get a blood bag, she found one and started to walk upstairs but the moment she opened her door she found Stefan sitting on her bed waiting for her. The instant he saw him she froze in the spot and let the blood bag fell from her hand and landed in the floor pouring all of its contents.

Stefan was sitting looking at her without saying a word they both stick to the silence until Stefan spoke up and said "Why did you do it?" Elena didn't know why she did it but at that moment she exploded and told him "It is my life I can kiss who I want besides you are the one that needs to explain for trying to kill your brother" the second she finished talking she immediately regretted it but couldn't back down now it was too late for it. Stefan looked hurt by even remembering what had happened that day and just stood there without talking. Elena told him that if he wouldn't talk that he should leave and come back when he did felt like talking. Stefan after hearing her left. After making sure Stefan had left she fell into her pillow in tears. And after a few minutes of crying she drifted to sleep.

When she woke up remembering all the events from the day before decided to call her friends, and then remember Bonnie hated Damon so, she picked up the cell phone and call Caroline and told her to come right over because she needed a girl talk. Caroline noticed something was wrong over the phone and went as fast as she could to Elena's house. When she arrived she rushed to her room and saw Elena crying over her bed. She immediately went to her with a hug after the tears stopped Caroline asked Elena what had happened and Elena told her everything starring from her mix feelings towards Damon appearing since she became a vampire to how Stefan almost killed his brother after seeing her and Damon kiss. By the end of it Caroline was shocked and couldn't believe what had happened in the last few days. After taking everything in, she started by asking Elena what she felt toward both of the Salvatore brothers, to which she answered "Ever since I turn and remember what Damon had made me forget I have drifted from Stefan and hanging around more with Damon without realizing what was going I started to develop feelings towards Damon but I still have felling for Stefan". Caroline surprised to listen to Elena's explanation, and told her that it was probably the vampire feelings acting out and that was why she didn't understand the feeling toward the brothers.

Elena couldn't figure out her feelings so she decided to go talk to them and let them know what she felt towards them. She told Caroline she had to go to the boarding house to find Stefan and Damon to talk to them; Caroline nodded and wished her good luck. Elena rushed downstairs and got in her car and started driving knowing what she had to do. The moment she arrived at the Boarding House she went and knocked on the door. When Stefan answered the door, he was shocked to see her. Elena said they needed to talk, just as Stefan move so she can pass she went straight to the library. When she was there she found Damon sitting with a glass of bourbon on his hand. Damon stood the moment he saw her walking toward the couch. She stopped and signaled both of them to sit and stay quiet until she finished. Elena started talking "Ever since I became a vampire all my feelings are all over the place I don't know what I am feeling at any time. I do know I have feeling towards both of you but I not know which of you has my heart or if either of you have it". After she finished with her speech both of them looked impacted by the news and Stefan was the first to talk, angrily he said "What happened to 'It will always be Stefan'? You loved me and know all of the sudden you have feeling towards my brother". Elena just told him that she didn't know how she felt, Stefan in a rage attack answered "Oh, You don't know I am going to make really easy for you, I am leaving".

Elena watched as Stefan stormed off, and looked at Damon. Damon was just as speechless as he was. Elena told Damon ""We need to find him before he go he turn his humanity off and goes into ripper mode" Damon nodded in response both of them knowing that the previous conversation was still on both head but both of them decided to avoid it until later. Damon told Elena to go home that when he heard something he would immediately go to her with information. Elena kissed his cheek in response and said goodbye. She didn't know why she kissed his cheek she thought that at the moment it seemed like a good idea. She knew this would make thing even more complicated than they already were.

Stefan didn't know where he was heading or how fast was he going but after what Elena said to him he had to get away from Elena and Mystic Falls as fast as he could, no matter what destination just the distance. Just as he lift his head he saw a sign saying "Welcome to Philadelphia", he know now where he was so he decided to just go a motel and forget all about her.

When he arrived at the room he just got he couldn't get his mind off what Elena had just said, he decided to go out and something to keep him occupied. He went to a club not too far away from his hotel and with a little compulsion managed to get in without any trouble. When he got in he went to the bar and asked the bartender for a drink, and as he waited for his drink a girl approached him, she had brown hair and it reminded him of Elena. She started to talk but he couldn't care less at last an idea struck his mind and told her if she wanted to get out of there the moment she heard him she put a smile on her face and nodded in agreement. Once they were out of there Stefan lead her into his room in the motel the second the second they entered Stefan face shifted into his vampire face. The girl in response yelled and tried to run but it was too late the moment she went for the door Stefan was already there. As he launched towards her and bit her, he noticed how each gulp of blood make it easier for him to forget until he drained her completely and he couldn't feel anything anymore and he knew he was back to his old self.
