Elena's pov:

The room was quiet, all of them waiting for an answer. I felt my heart thudding against my chest indicating my nervousness. Usually people get butterflies when they're nervous, when they're about to go in front of an audience and present something, but I only get butterflies when I'm talking to a guy I really like; the butterflies are usually the good ones. This is my first time getting the bad type of butterflies. I opened my mouth to speak, already listing all the possible consequences and reactions; I ignored most of them knowing I would lose all the courage I have if I didn't like the outcome of one of the consequences. That's when a thought caused me to think about my actions for a second time.

What if they get so angry that they stop caring or even trusting me! What would I do then? I want them to trust me; I really can't imagine a life without them. They would obviously think I betrayed them! I mean they tell me everything, and i- I've been hiding this for so long from them. Now it would be a different story, if I started hunting when I found out about Stephan, but that's not what really happened. I know everyone would think that I was putting on a show, an act, or living a complete lie, but I wasn't, and the only reason I didn't tell anyone about Dean and Sam was because hunting had done some serious damage to me. The feeling that I had when I lost Dean was heartbreaking, no it was hell. I couldn't take any more of that, so I lied to them, but not just them, myself as well. I ran away when Stephan told me he was a vampire because I didn't want to go back to when I had to hunt, and kill, and torture. I saw how vampires were, they were bloodsucking creatures of the night; I've killed one before. I was disgusted how I had fallen head over heels for one, and kissed one as well. They would do anything to drink blood, even if they had to put on an act of kindness, to lure someone in. Then I started to realize that Stephan was good, and even if Damon was a monster, or pretended to be, they both were good. As much as I tried to get away from the supernatural life, I knew what I was up against when I went out with Stephan. I knew what I was dealing with! I thought if I didn't think about Dean and Sam too much, the memories would just go away; and no matter what, I wasn't going to bring them up. My friends have done so much for me, and I'm sure they love me as well, but would they forgive me if they found out that I hid that big of a truth from them? Would they ever trust me again? That was the question that popped in bold letters in my head; it just couldn't be ignored.

I thought about it again; I've said too much already. If I don't say anything now, they probably are going to dig up some information. Plus, it's better if I tell them before they find out themselves, and if I tell them now, I wouldn't get in as much trouble as I would if I told later. But really, what would be the big difference of trouble between now and later. Plus, I would have more time to think about what to say. This was pretty sudden. NO! I yelled at myself. Must tell them now! It's either now or never, until they find out themselves, which won't be too long, since Dean and Sam are in town. Okay… I took a deep breath, and lifted my head from the floor, looking around the room, taking in each and every feature just in case they never want to see my face again. I saw a whole bundle of faces: curious, anger, frustration, sympathy, relief, exhaustion, and a lot of others. I sighed. This was going to be a long night.

"Well, spit out already!" My thoughts were interrupted with Damon calling out. I could tell that he was getting very impatient and a little mad from my little stroll in the forest.

"Alright, alright." I muttered. I went to go stand by the nearest wall to the door, just in case I had to run; even though, I wouldn't make it very far.

"You might want to sit down for this." I said. There were two reasons why I wanted them to do this. First, this would be very shocking, something you can't handle without sitting down. News like this needs sit downs, and second of all, if I have to run, I have a slight advantage.

"Elena if someone died, tell us already." I glared at Damon, this was serious. Why was he acting like a jerk? I started to complain in my head. Well at least that snarky comment made me feel a little better inside, or maybe I just need a last memory of Damon's jokes to hold on too.

"Okay, okay, no need to do the whole glaring thing Elena." He went to go sit next to the bar, and Rose followed. Now I know this really isn't the time to let my teenage side take over, but that bitch really needs get away from Damon. I took a deep breath, and saw the others take their seats as well. I really don't know where to start. Should I explain about supernatural things, so they don't go interrupting my story, or should I start from the beginning; it gets really confusing in the middle. Maybe I should start with the recent events of today.

"Just start with what happened tonight." Damon said. Wow! It's like he can read my mind. He saw my confused look, and smirked.

"Okay, so what happened was…I…umm…uh…I went for a walk, and I was…well it's a long story." I saw Jeremy raise his eyebrows at this.

"To sum it up, I went for a walk because I was bored, needed to think, and needed some fresh air. And sometime between leaving the house, and getting lost in thought, I somehow…ended up in the forest, and I had I had no clue where to go. So then I started to walk back south, and had a bad feeling that someone was following me. So I turned around and no one was there, and then I heard two voices say my name." I was about to continue, but heard Stephan ask a question.

"What do you mean by two voices?" He asked, with a curious look on his face.

"Well, the first voice was childlike, and girly, the second, was manlike, and plain creepy. Anyways so then I looked towards the voices, and saw eyes staring back at me, so I didn't what any normal person would do, I made a run for it. Then I ran until I saw the road, and almost got run over by a car, but luckily the people stopped. And guess who was inside the car." I forced a smile, but it didn't work, they could obviously see my 'I really don't want to do this' look. I turned towards Jeremy.

"Jeremy, you remember Dean and Sam right?" I asked.

"Yeah, why?" Jeremy asked suspiciously. I'm guessing he got the hint, because his eyes widened, and a little anger flashed across his face.

"They almost ran you over." He hissed. I let out a nervous laugh, and muttered 'yeah'. I glanced around the room, and saw most expressions of anger, and confusion.

"So who are these guys?" I heard Damon asked as he took a chug of his beer. I tensed. This was the part I really didn't want to explain.

"They're my cousins, and they hunt supernatural for a living." I literally breathed this out, half-hoping that they didn't hear.

"Elena I'm being serious, stop making stupid jokes." Damon scolded. I don't dare look at his expression, or all the others when I said what I was about to say.

"I'm not joking." I could already imagine their surprised and confused faces. I'm guessing they figured out I was being serious becuase I heard someone stand up, and walk to towards me; the sound of their footsteps was deafening through the silence. I felt someone grab my arm, and yank me towards them, towards the ice blue eyes I had seen many times.

"And what the hell is that supposed to mean?" Damon hissed. I could see my fearful and regretful expression through his eyes. I closed my eyes hoping Damon would hold his arm there a bit longer; sure I was afraid, but it this is the only physical that Damon would ever make with me before I tell him the truth, so I really don't know what I have to lose. Then suddenly the warmth of Damon's hand was ripped away, I snapped my eyes open to see Stephan and Damon glaring at each other.

"Let her explain." I heard Stephan say. I looked around; everyone's eyes were urging me to continue, so I did, I started from the very beginning.

"You see, a year and a half before mom and dad died, I moved in with Dean and Sam, I did see them a lot, but I felt as if they were hiding something, so I moved in with them. We stopped at a hotel, and they said it would be the place we were going to stay for the next two days. For some reason they kept their distance from me, which was pretty unusual because me and them got along pretty well." I was about to continue, when Jeremy interrupted.

"So that whole time, I'm guessing you were hunting with them?" He asked as he arched an eyebrow.

"Yeah pretty much." I breathed. "That night at 2 am, I couldn't sleep so; I went for a walk alone, which is usual when I get attacked. I got attacked by a vampire that night; he was in his 20's, green eyes, and dirty blond hair. At first he seemed pretty normal, and I just thought it was a normal guy in the woods who couldn't sleep, so me and him started talking. He started to lure me in deeper into the woods, talking to me like nothing was wrong in the world. Then when we were far enough he attacked, I'm not really gonna get into the gory details. But anyways, Dean and Sam came, saved me, and told me everything from start to finish. I really couldn't believe, they were telling me how vampires, werewolves, demons, witches, and much more exist. They taught me how to kill them, torture them, their weaknesses, and their strengths. Heck, they even taught me how to fight. After that, I learned that the only reason we stopped at this hotel was because there were a group of vampires on the loose. That was the first time I've killed anything in my life." I was shocked nobody interrupted my speech, or no one walked out of the room with a disappointed look on their face. They all seemed shell shocked; the only one with a different expression was Damon. He was smirking!

"So let me get this straight, you killed a vampire." I nodded, Damon continued. "As in Ms. Damsel in Distress, the one who can't even defend herself against a human killed a vampire!" He put an emphasis on 'you' and 'vampire'. I was pretty ticked off about him thinking that I was too weak to defend myself.

"Yeah." I muttered. Stephan spoke next, throwing a whole bunch of questions at me.

"So then, why didn't you tell us anything? And why did you act so shocked when I told I was a vampire? And why even bother to get to know, you could have killed me, so why didn't you?" I interrupted him before he asked anymore questions.

"I know you guys have a lot of questions, and I understand you guys may be mad at me, but right now we need to make sure that my crazy cousins don't barge in here and try to kill you."

The thought came to me when Stephan mentioned why I didn't kill if I had the chance. I realized that vampires couldn't come out in the day, but any vampires with rings made an exception, but Dean and Sam didn't know they had rings. That means instead of killing them in the day which they do to save time, they would come kill them at night. They probably researched all the residence in Mystic Falls, and already know who the vampires were. This means they could come crashing in here any second now. Oh crap! I thought.

"Well that is not going to be a problem." I saw Damon's eyes turn dark. He was thinking about killing them! I couldn't let that happen.

"Damon no! You can't kill them! There my cousins, family remember!" I yelled. Damon groaned.

"Can't we make and exception of killing family if they try to hurt friends?"

"Damon! No! And plus, I don't think Sam and Dean would really have a problem of killing my friends using an exception of you guys being freaks! No offense." Damon groaned again.

"You ruin all the fun." He whined. Before I could say anything, a dart came crashing through the window hitting Rose's neck; I'm guessing this dart was filled with vervain. Another four came crashing through the window hitting Damon, Stephan, Jeremy, and Caroline.

"NO!" Oh god! They were here; what am I gonna do? I glanced at Luca and Bonnie for help, but noticed they were knocked out by different darts. Crap! A loud crash caught my attention; the front door was knocked down by the two and only Dean and Sam.
