Chapter 6: They Know

When I got back to the house after running from the attack sight as fast as I could, I found out that Stefan had awoken while I was gone. I thought of ways to get in without getting caught, then I thought of the window to my bedroom. I walked around to the side of the house that my room overlooked and began scaling the wall as quickly as I could. When I got into the room I was greeted by Stefan sitting on my bed patiently waiting for me.

"I sensed you were gone." He said, "Remember, we can tell those things about one another." I forgot while I was in my blood lust caused daze that Stefan and I could tell the approximate place of the other.

"So, what about it?" I asked, "I just went for a quick walk after a really horrid dream."

"Is that really all that you did?" He questioned.

"Is that really any of your business?" I replied, "I mean I've been around just as long as you, and it time to stop treating me like I am your little sister. I am your twin for god's sake, that means I am the exact same age as you. Even a couple minutes older since I was the first one born."

With that last statement he was at a loss for words. "You see I do and will do whatever I want," I continued, "you see I am also like Damon and will not hesitate to rip your heart out."

"But you wouldn't." He said, "You know as well as I do that if you did that you would feel every bit of pain that I felt and more. And no matter how strong you are that would be to much pain for you and part of you might even die."

I had nothing to say to that comment. There's nothing that could be said back to that. "And," Stefan added, "I know that he is back. Who else would actually hurt you when you kick them"

I was true my foot still hurt from the contact that I had made with my older brother. I just nodded my head as I moved the weight off of my foot. "Do both me and Zach one small favor though." Stefan said.

"What?"

"Try to stay away from Damon. And act normal."

"This is normal. What you and Zach call 'normal' is what is unusual. Vampires drink human blood and sometimes kill them."

"You know what I mean Isabelle." He said with almost a snarl.

"You know the only thing keeping Damon from killing you is me." I said after a moment's pause.

"That is not true."

"He knows that if he hurt you it would hurt me just as much. And lets agree on one thing Damon likes me much better than you. Why do you think I was the first person to know that he was here." I didn't mean to actually say the last part.

He had nothing to say after that. He knew Damon liked me slightly more, but I was never one to rub that in his face.

"And maybe if you're nice to me," I continued, "I will try to get Damon to make nice with you."

With that he left glaring back once to warn me. When I laid my head down a single thought went through my mind. That Stefan knew that Damon was back. Then unconsciousness swept me into a dreamless sleep.

Please tell me what you thought of this chapter, even if it was complete crap. Thanks!
