**Tenth chapter, which means extra-long!**
"It's okay Elena, just closer your eyes" Stefan said as her hunger for blood grew beyond a barrier she never knew existed. Stefan brought her out to the woods to hunt for animal blood. This was his master plan to save Elena, or even her humanity. He planned to get her on the animal diet, and he wanted to make this happen. Elena rolled her eyes as she saw the deer he planned to attack for her sake, closing her eyes she reopened them to the sound of a whine as the deer laid on the ground bleeding, and alive. Stefan still held onto it and Elena looked at it with confusion. 'I'm not drinking from that' the voice came back and Elena shook her head, she would try and adapt to this, if Stefan tried to help her, she would try and accept it. She walked over to him holding a wary face and he smiled at her, confirming that it was okay to feel weird about the situation. She slowly walked towards the deer as it started to buck under Stefan's grip. Elena could smell the thick blood as it cover Stefan's scent, and for reasons unknown to Elena her mouth began to water before she leaped on the deer.
Elena hunched over on the ground coughing up all the blood she had consumed only moments ago. She had done what Stefan had planned, she drank from the deer but it didn't die, and things after that changed. Her emotions grew higher and she felt love and lust attack at her which made her and Stefan go into a frenzy of kisses, and it ended with her running fast away from him and getting sick were she was now. She continued to bring up the red liquid and was covered in it, she gasped trying to get her breath back and took a deep breath before it came back up all over again. She started to cry at this point and she couldn't stop it as she heard Stefan calling her name, she got up and looked around even though she knew nobody would see her or hear her, not even Stefan.
"I'm sorry, I just needed a moment. I'm cry for no reason" Elena said giving off a light laugh near the end of her sentence and she heard Stefan stopping in his tracks, Elena ran towards her left, trying to draw Stefan away from the blood, which did help her as he slightly trailed after her. Elena ran fast as she could, as the tears disappeared from her, she took several deep breaths before she ran into Stefan and he gave her a weak smile and she started to cry once again.
"I'm sorry, it's just…" Elena said as she looked into his hopefully eyes, how could she tell him that his plan was failing on her and she couldn't keep the blood in. Stefan frowned and Elena stop the crying, as she saw his eyes and could read what was going on, 'he knows you're a fail' the voice sang at her and she swallowed back.
"It's okay Elena, I get it" he said in a sad voice and Elena nodded her head with relief. She simple smiled as she has a feeling lifted of her shoulders, Stefan went through this and he knows I can't drink this, Elena smiled knowing that he knew.
"I get it, the council members have died and you're upset because you grew up with them and you know that as the years past from now the people you will love with die
you'll still be the same age" Stefan said as he pulled her into a hug of comfort but Elena swiftly pulled away from him in a surprised way as her mouth hung opened, 'What the hell?' a voice screamed in her voice as she looked at him
"What?" was all Elena could choke out
Elena made her way to the grill. Stefan had to bring her home after he told her about what had happened to the council members, she knew Klaus wouldn't have done it, and Tyler would not bear hurting them, so it could be only one person, Damon. She walked into the bar to hear loud chatter and heartbeats fill the room, she could hear the hearts pump blood and then the gossip, "Pastor young, mental he is", "His brat is coming back, April", "My mom's taking it really bad, I miss dad too" The last words made Elena look towards the speaker to see Rihanna Fell and she started to cry, she was the same age as Elena, before she died. She saw the black haired vampire sitting alone drinking on his usually day and walked up to him.
The blood was sweet, pure and divine. Elena had never heard of a vampire and hybrid exchanging blood but her she was drinking off Damon. She didn't understand as she bit him he didn't get infected by the poisonous venom that werewolves held. Elena continued to lean against Damon, drinking from his as he brushed her hair. He took some of her blood at her neck, but it didn't bother her, she didn't care who saw this, she enjoyed the experience. Their moment was ended when a seventeen years old girl walked in and gasped at the pair. Elena pulled back to see annoying Rihanna stand in front of her with a huge grin that screamed one thing, gossip. Elena looked the girl in the eyes which made her open her mouth to let out a scream but Elena stopped that by pushing her against the wall and gripping the girl's neck, as Damon watched
"Listen Rihanna, You're going to forget what you just saw and I swear to god, if you tell anyone I will rip your blond head off your shoulders, get it?" Elena said and the girl repeated every word Elena had said, and Elena smiled wickedly, the blond girl looked at Elena and then to Damon and Elena dismissed her before turning toward Damon with an awkward look on her face,
"I think I should go, Klaus will probably want to know where I am" she said turning for the door but was immediately stopped by Damon's words.
"So you're his puppet now?" he said coldly and Elena shook her head, she was anything but that to him. She walked up to Damon so they were only centimetres apart
"He's helping me Damon, he's helping me adjust to my new life, like Stefan is" Elena said defending herself, she was nobody's puppet and she would never turn into one
"What? So Stefan is teaching you the vampire part of all this and Klaus is teaching the other?" he spat at her and Elena felt hurt, she knew Damon didn't enjoy Klaus's company but he didn't have to take it out on her.
"Yea, which better what you've been doing with me, nothing." Elena said leaving the bathroom and walking away but she could still hear his words as she left the grill, the words she wish she could respond to as Damon's words filtered her mind, "So what just happened there?"
Elena sat on her new bed as she looked towards her balcony door. She listened to the bickering that arose from downstairs as Klaus and Rebekah yelled at one another over many things but mainly one topic, love. Rebekah yelled at Klaus for leaving her and Elena rolled her eyes, she wanted to leave the house but she couldn't. She had already been out and Klaus wasn't happy with the rumours of a new hunter in town. A knocking came upon her door and she welcomed the person behind it in, and saw Tyler behind it. Patting her bed, Tyler followed Elena's gesture and sat beside her as the continuous yells still fired up.
"Were like two kids that are listening to their parents fight" Tyler said and Elena laughed, nudging him. They really did look like children, sitting beside one another, silent. Too afraid to speak and yet wanting to hear the final result of what was going to happen. Elena looked around her empty room and frowned, she looked to Tyler who was still down about the bond being broken.
"What's your room like?" Elena wondered and Tyler gave her a look of confusion, he took a view of Elena's and smiled.
"My wardrobe isn't as big" he said winking at her and she laughed a little. She looked towards the balcony and then back to Tyler with adoring eyes, it made sense.
"Grab your coat Lockwood, were going shopping" Elena said leaping off her bed to put her convers on and she looked around for a jacket but she frowned, she didn't have one, and by Tyler's still presence he didn't have on either. Elena shrugged her shoulders before they started to laugh, they were like two hoboes', and only surviving in the clothes they had worn earlier or in Tyler's case yesterday. 'now for money and transport' a voice said and Elena smacked her hand against her forehead. She didn't have her car and money was in her house that she didn't want to go back to in case she was spelled to it again.
"We can go shopping?" Elena said with a wary voice, Tyler smiled and nodded his head and got off the bed.
"I hate shopping, but I'd do it get out of here" he said as he made his way towards the door, but Elena hurried in front of it, softly shutting it before hitting him on the head as if her was a stupid animal.
"We wouldn't get past them two, and Klaus won't let us out with the hunter out there, so to the balcony" Elena said pointing towards it and matching like a solider to it. Tyler laughed at her actions and watched her jump over the railing bars and followed her. They slowly crept towards the garage while Rebekah and Klaus started to throw objects at one another. Elena unlocked the door by rattling the lock, something a human would be too weak to do. Tyler unlocked his car and he slowly turned it on, trying to keep the noise to a minimum, Elena opened the garage door and that's when she heard the yelling stop. Elena's eyes widened and she ran back to the car, sliding in she started to yell at Tyler to drive, which he did.
They speeded out of the drive and made it toward outside of mystic falls. They had done it, they had broken out
"I like this, what do you think?" Elena said picking up a small wooden door hanging sign that said 'Wet paws outside' and it had a small cartoon dog hanging its head in shame. Tyler laughed at her joke as she put it back. They found the first shopping mall outside of mystic falls and started their spree. Elena left Tyler to buy his own things and she grabbed a small trolley as she started to shop. Books, pens , paper, a sketch pad, a lamp and seven sets of frames were some of the items that were placed in the trolley. Elena came to the check out and heard the woman behind her talking about the electrical goods that were on sale in the back corner of the room and she smiled brightly. Turning on her heels Elena looked the woman in the eyes and smiled,
"This cashier is closed, and you're going to inform that to everyone behind you and they have to leave" She said and the woman repeated each word in the same tone as Elena, the young man behind the cashier got up and looked at Elena.
"You will announce that this cashier is closed until further notice as you're going to help me shop, and I get this all for free" Elena said and the guy agreed with her commandments. He guided Elena towards the tv section where she selected her hang on the wall flat screen.
Tyler walked into the food court to see Elena sitting by herself in Burger King with only a few small bags, as he himself at least had twenty, and they were large. As he approached Elena he could hear her laughing her lungs out at him which made him smile. As he sat down in front of her he gave her a look of confusion and she laughed more.
"Did Caroline meet you to carry her bags" she laughed and Tyler shook his head, Caroline. All he could think about was the beautiful blond and how she would drag him in to every store even if they weren't clothes shops, which made no sense to him.
"I wish, is it bad to say that I have at least ten other bags in the car? Where's all your shopping" Tyler said towards Elena and she tried to keep her giggles hidden but it was no use, everyone in the court was looking at the pair and Elena had to drink her coffee to regain herself. Elena raised her head a little higher until she found the brown hair man from the shop she was previously in standing outside of the court. She pointed towards him and Tyler turned around the see a large trolley full with bags and even a tv.
"You got a volunteer huh?" Tyler said and Elena frowned, she didn't like compelling people, but it made life slightly easier for her.
"Not exactly, but how was I going to get all that stuff and for the guy to push the trolley around? Flash for them?" Elena said drinking her coffee again and Tyler smiled wickedly.
"Well when you were a freshman you flashed Colton Smith to get invites for his seniors only party" Elena chocked at Tyler's words and she gave him a daring look to bring that story up once again and even louder this time as she gained looks from people around her.
"I was drunk with friends, and never bring that up again!" Elena said growling towards Tyler, she hated that story and it embarrassed her from the moment she done it till her death, which would be in a few centuries, well she hoped. Silence was the only thing they had between them now and Elena could feel awkwardness creeping around her but this was interrupted by her phone beeping. She quickly pulled it out of her pocket to see an unmark number had texted her, while she had several miss calls from the sire himself.
"Get any miss calls?" she said to Tyler not looking at him, he soon took out his phone and sighed, shaking his head,
"Only twenty seven of them, you?" he said looking at each name, Klaus. He turned off his phone and placed it back into his pocket.
"Seventeen, and a text from an unmarked number" she said reading the message, it was a simply message and it scared her.
Elena, please come home to my house fast. This guy called Klaus said he's going to kill me if u and Tyler don't come back, please hurry. April Younge.
