Vampire Twist

Chapter 3

Humhum... I said I'd finish this before September... goodness knows I will~

Stefan was standing inside a warehouse looking grim and gloomy. He suddenly received a text message from Elena.

[Wer r u? Pls answer my call]

Stefan stared at the message but then felt someone coming near him. He looked up and saw Klaus walking toward him with that unruffled stare of his.

"You had said your good bye?" he asked indifferently. Stefan nodded while his hand gripped his phone. Klaus gave a smile that did not reach his eyes. "You should tell them not to look for you for awhile. I don't want them trailing at us like rats. You know what I mean right? I cannot guarantee safety if they try to get on my way."

Stefan stared at Klaus, and then nodded slowly. A man appeared behind Klaus who looked back at him, before turning to Stefan again.

"Let's go."

-.-.-.-.-.-

"It's the full moon." Bonnie told the group.

Elena looked at her friend, "That's what Elijah said too, remember?"

"Yes and only a witch can kill him during that time." Bonnie nodded.

"But that was when after killing the doppelganger." Damon frowned. Elena gave him a side look.

Bonnie nodded again. "That's true, but sealing a Hybrid's power is another thing."

Everybody looked at Bonnie in silent shock.

"You mean to say if we seal his powers then it's possible to kill him?" Jeremy asked

"No," Damon answered in turn, "That would just weaken him but at that moment he must be killed or he would hunt the doppelganger again to break the seal."

Elena looked at Damon and then caught Bonnie's eyes.

"If it can save Stefan we should do it." she said.

"But the next full moon isn't until next month," Alaric said, "What'll happen before then?"

Everybody was silent. Damon's eyes hardened.

Bonnie looked hesitant for a little while, until finally she spoke what was on her mind.

"I need to consult Emily... I know she... and my powers..."

She looked up at everyone who was looking at her expectantly.

"Give me time. I'm thinking of something."

Damon turned his back on her and then stared hardly at the fireside.

Hours later found Elena dialling on her cell phone and calling on. She was still trying to contact Stefan who seemed to have forgotten how to use his phone somehow.

"He's not answering…" Elena dropped her phone on the table before her as she sat inside the Salvatore living room. Damon was standing near the fire and quietly staring at it. Alaric was sleeping on a couch while the others have gone home.

"I'm even surprised it's ringing." Damon commented quietly as he stared at the fire.

Elena looked up to him and then stood up with her arms crossed.

"You know something."

Damon did not turn.

Elena took a few steps toward her with a frown on her face.

"You told me you saw her, what did he tell you?"

"I already told you he wanted you to be protected." Damon still did not turn.

Elena looked unconvinced.

"Did he tell you his plan?"

"His only plan is to follow Klaus until Klaus is quite done with him." Damon turned to face her this time with an impatient look, "and when would that be? When he's a complete savage that can't stop preying on humans anymore?"

Elena hesitated. "Stefan wouldn't do that."

"You already knew what he did when he had his cravings after you feed him your blood." Damon looked away with an angry look. "We locked him up if your memory can remember."

"But why would Klaus want to make him suffer like that?" her voice quivered but she stared determinedly at the older Salvatore. Damon looked back at her but this time his eyes softened.

"In the past… Stefan…" he hesitated. Elena took a step forward again.

"What is it?"

Damon shook his head and then turned once more to the fire.

"He loses himself… once he killed too many… a great number. You won't be able to imagine what he can do when he puts his mind on to it."

Elena opened her mouth but then closes it again. Silence filled them and only the crackle on the fire could be heard.

Damon gave a heavy sigh and then turned to Elena slowly. She remained standing there with a deep crease on her eyebrows. It was when he turned to her that she resumed speaking.

"I don't understand what's everything going to or why they are happening." She started and her eyes began to swim with silent tears, "Stefan only wants to live a quiet, normal life without having to hurt anyone! He wants to feel what it is like to be a student, to have friends, to care for me… that's the only things that he wanted… was that too much to ask?"

Damon took steps toward her and then embraced her tightly. Elena broke down and buried her face on his arms.

"He doesn't want this, Damon… you know he never wanted to hurt anyone anymore!"

"I know…" Damon whispered as his eyes reflected darkness, "Even if I am the savage between us… I never thought it would suit him to be like me. It's a different matter when my brother is concerned, you know that Elena… He's the boring type… and to think this kind of excitement would happen to him… just because of saving a worthless brother like me."

He pushed her a little so that their eyes made contact.

"I swear I will help him." he said softly, "Don't worry, I'll go get him."

Elena nodded her head and tried to wiper her tears. She excused herself and Damon found himself alone with the wide awake Alaric.

"Exactly how are you gonna save Stefan?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Damon turned to him with his daring eyes.

"These people are really testing my patience, d'you know that? First taking it with Katherine the bitch, second almost killing Elena for that fucked up wolf blood, and now what- my brother planning to be use as a killing machine? Why are they taking all the people important to me, d'you know the answer?"

Alaric raised his eyes at Damon and then shrugged his shoulders.

"Maybe they thought you had too many important people."

"That's bullshit."

"I know. But anyway, Stefan knows that his aimed to be the killing machine huh?"

"Yeah."

Alaric waited. Damon did not speak anymore so the teacher pressed on.

"What did he say about that idea?"

"He'd do anything Klaus will order him to."

Alaric whistled.

"Wow… Stefan must've liked you a lot to give himself over like that."

Damon gave Alaric an alarming look of danger but it passed and the older Salvatore put his left hand on the back of his hand and massages it.

"He's a real pain." He muttered but Alaric didn't believe him.

*.*.*.*.*

The following morning Bonnie handed a long crystal stick to Damon.

"You can kill Klaus with that." she informed them.

Everyone looked at the crystal and muttered to themselves but Damon looked unimpressed. He merely raised an eyebrow to the witch and said,

"Vampires can only be killed by using a wood stick and a special dagger for the Originals."

"Which he is neither." Bonnie assured, "He is a Hybrid."

"Where is this made from?" Alaric spoke with a look of mingled interest and awe at the crystal stick.

"From the powder of the moon's stone." Bonnie answered, "It is rarely made but witches of my calibre can craft it as easily as picking a wood from the forest."

"How did you know about this?" Damon asked as he held the crystal.

Bonnie eyed him and then looked at everyone else.

"My ancestors… never failed a call of plea from their kin."

Elena rushed to the witche's arm and embraced her tightly.

"Thank you, Bonnie," she whispered, "Thank you."

Bonnie smiled as she hugged her back.

"We use this and we kill Klaus, "Damon stated with a glint in his eyes. "That's more like it."

*.*.*.

Won't drag along anymore!

Next is the final conclusion! I daresay that is before September!

Thanks for reading!
