In Mystic Falls

Cadence and Eddie got back that night, Kate was asleep, Stefan gently woke her up.

"Hey Kat, we are here," Stefan softly, Kate woke up and looked around,

"Where are we?" Kate asked.

"This is where you are going to be staying for a while, its Cadence's place," Stefan getting out, she crawled out on Stefan's side. Stefan grabbed her bag and his overnight bag, Kate stayed by Stefan as they went into the house. It was a new place, so she stuck by Stefan,

"Sweetie you don't have to be afraid, why don't I show you your room?" Cadence holding out her hand, Kate clung to Stefan's leg.

"That's okay, Stefan can come too," Cadence explained, they went up to Kate's room, Cadence showed her where her room was then the bathroom, then where she would be staying.

"We can go Saturday and look for some stuff to decorate it with, okay?" Cadence asked,

"Okay," Kate softly,

"Tomorrow you and Stefan can hang your stuff in your closet, and we will see about getting you in school, I'm sure you'll make plenty of friends," Cadence explained.

"Lets go find you something to eat," Cadence giving her a smile,

"Can I have some mac and cheese?" Kate asked shyly.

"You know, I just went grocery shopping before we left and since I knew about a cute little lady bug I was thinking she might want some, maybe we can get Stefan to cook it since he is Italian," Cadence smiling,

"Yeah," Kate smiled a little, Stefan laughed a little,

"Hm, boxed pasta, not a lot to work with but I can try," Stefan shrugged.

"Come on, lets go, you can watch me cook, or watch cartoons," Stefan explained,

"Cartoons is better, when you come and live with me and Krystal soon you can show me how the Italians do it," Kate smiling big. Stefan was suddenly nervous, but gave her a small smile, he didn't know what to say but he didn't want to upset her, he just kept quiet,

"Maybe Cadence would like to watch some cartoons with you," Stefan explained.

"Sure, I'll find you something to watch, I don't know if cartoons are on this late," Cadence explained, they went downstairs,

"Hey Cad, I'm going to go, are you going to be alright tonight?" Eddie asked.

"Yeah, we'll be fine," Cadence hugging him and giving him a kiss,

"Yuck," Kate making a face, Cadence blushed,

"I'll see you later okay," Cadence asked,

"Alright, later," Eddie leaving. Cadence shut and locked the door behind him, Stefan laughed a little,

"What?" Cadence asked,

"He doesn't trust me does he?" Stefan asked,

"He is just a little intimated by you," Cadence explained.

"Why?" Kate asked,

"He has never met an Italian guys," Cadence smiling,

"Oh, I like Stefan just fine, I think Krystal does too she is just scared to let him in, like I was," Kate explained. Cadence looked at him and raised her eyebrows, Stefan shrugged and left to hide in the kitchen to cook,

"Where's your mac and cheese?" Stefan asked, Cadence came in and got it down,

"And your seasonings, like pepper and salt?" Stefan asked, Cadence put them by the stove.

"Thanks," Stefan mumbled,

"Your shy, its cute," Cadence asked,

"Really, I am trying to be her friend, I'm not having much luck with that right now," Stefan softly.

"She will come around," Cadence assured him, she went back to the living room, soon the food was done,

"This was the best I could do, hope you guys like it," Stefan already having bowls of mac and cheese on the table for all of them. Kate tasted it, she gave him the thumbs up,

"Really good," Kate smiling,

"Is that pepper?" Cadence asked,

"Yeah," Stefan eating,

"I would never have thought to put pepper in it, its good," Cadence nodded,

"Thank you," Stefan nodding.

"Can we call Krystal and tell her we got here okay?" Kate asked,

"After you eat," Stefan explained,

"Okay," Kate happily, she ate all of it,

"Can we call her now?" Kate asked,

"Sure," Stefan getting his phone out and dialing her number, it kept ringing and finally went to voice mail,

"She must still be mad at me, she isn't picking up," Stefan confused,

"Maybe she was just tired and went to bed," Kate suggested,

"Yeah, why don't you let Cadence go up and get ready for bed," Stefan explained,

"Will you read me a book tonight?" Kate asked,

"Why don't you let Cadence, I'm sure she is better at the voices than I am, besides you need to get used to her being around and taking care of you, at least for a little while," Stefan explained,

"Will you sleep in the floor of my room at least?" Kate asked,

"Sure lady bug," Stefan smiling. Kate gave him a hug,

"I love you Stefan," Kate mumbled,

"I love you too Kate," Stefan hugging her back, she walked up to her room,

"Is this something wrong with my sister?" Cadence asked,

"No, I'm sure she's just mad at me, or went to bed," Stefan explained.

"Then why do you have that look on your face," Cadence taking the dishes to the sink,

"I think I am going to leave a little earlier than planned, just to make sure," Stefan explained.

"When?" Cadence asked,

"Tomorrow," Stefan stated, she nodded,

"Please, take care of my sister, even if she tries to push you away, I need my sister," Cadence explained.

"Cadence, she isn't going to do anything stupid, she has Kate," Stefan explained,

"You're right, there's a good explanation for her not answering the phone, its just, I'm worry about her, she isn't handling this very good," Cadence going up to Kate. Stefan knew she wasn't, but she needed to let out her frustration like she had, or she might possibly go on rampage. He sat on the couch, staring at the cartoon and looked down at his phone, he called again, it hit voice mail again,

"Krystal, please call me back," Stefan worriedly, he hung up. Krystal was already too weak to get to the phone, she was in excruciating pain from not feeding, she could feel her veins drying up slowly, she just stared at the bedside table where her mother's and father's picture was, it was the only photo that they had framed of all of them, even her brother, a single tear made its way down her cheek, realization sat in.

She was dying for nothing, no cause, she knew she would ever be able to see them again even if she did die, she had chose to sell her soul to the devil to keep her one family member alive, and she knew that someone was coming, he was coming, that was what her brother had warned her about, her sister still wasn't safe, so all she had done to keep her sister safe was in vane, she had to try to get to the fridge and get blood in her, she moved an inch on the bed, she had been incredibly stupid, there was still someone out there that was coming to hurt Cadence, to hurt Kate, she closed her eyes and tried moving again.

Stefan ran his hand through his hair, he shouldn't have left her. He went upstairs and Cadence found some blankets for him and a pillow, he made himself a bed in the floor of Kate's room, soon she came out and was ready for bed, Cadence read her a book,

"I'll be in the next room if you need me, you can wake me up if you have a nightmare or anything okay?" Cadence asked,

"Thank you Cadence," Kate softly,

"Honey, you are family now, family takes care of family," Cadence smiling, she turned the light off and closed the door leaving it cracked a little.


Morning

Kate woke up to pancakes and strawberries,

"Hey honey, did you sleep good?" Cadence asked,

"Yes," Kate smiling a little,

"Good, I made pancakes, I hope you like them," Cadence giving her a plate and strawberries on the side,

"Yeah, I like strawberries too," Kate playing with her strawberry,

"What's wrong sweetie?" Cadence asked,

"I'm worried about Krystal," Kate softly, Stefan was on his way down,

"I'm sure she is fine sweetie, Stefan said he is going to leave today to go back and to make sure, okay?" Cadence asked,

"Yeah, that makes me feel a little better," Kate nodded. Stefan came in,

"Hey my little lady bug, listen, I'm going to leave right now in a few minutes, I'll call you when I get there and I will put her on the phone and that way you know she is safe okay?" Stefan softly and seriously.

"Thank you Stefan," Kate hugging her,

"You going to be okay with me leaving?" Stefan asked,

"Its for Krystal, she doesn't need anything bad to happen to her, she took me in, she was nice to me," Kate explained.

"I wont let anything happen to her, I promise you," Stefan seriously,

"People have broke their promises before," Kate softly,

"I don't break promises, I don't make a promise I cant keep," Stefan explained, she looked in his eyes,

"I trust you Stefan," Kate nodded.

"Good, so I'm heading out," Stefan grabbing his bag, Kate gave him a long hug,

"Give Krystal a hug for me too," Kate explained.

"I will, bye Kit Kat, be good, and study hard in school," Stefan kissing the top of her head,

"I will, I will make you guys proud of me," Kate smiling.

"That's my girl, thank you Cadence," Stefan seriously,

"Yeah, no problem," Cadence worriedly, he gave her a hug,

"I wont let anything happen to her," Stefan whispered, Cadence hugged him back and nodded. He left and went to the boarding house for his car, he hoped Damon wasn't in a chatty mood.


At the Boarding House

Stefan went inside he started toward his room, Elena was on the couch,

"Stefan?" Elena confused,

"Elena, hey," Stefan nervously,

"I read the letter, I know you are worried about me having this baby but I want this baby," Elena softly,

"I know, I want to be part of this baby's life, it is mine and I am happy that you are having my baby, but I don't want you to die because of this, I would lose you and this baby, I couldn't live with that," Stefan seriously.

"Stefan you have lost me, I am with Damon now," Elena explained,

"I know, and I know I can never make up for what I did to you, I lost you when I drove you out to that bridge, and I am sorry I did that, but I was trying to get Klaus to let up, it was for you, I did everything to try to keep you safe and I failed, you are a vampire," Stefan explained.

"I am sorry that my feelings changed hurt you, but I cant stop feeling this way about Damon and I don't want to, but I would like you to be in this child's life, I will allow you to be in its life," Elena seriously, Stefan hugged her,

"Thank you," Stefan pulling away,

"You are the father, I want you to know your child and I want this child to know its father," Elena explained.

"Thank you, listen I've got to go, I've got something important to do," Stefan explained, he ran up to his room and started packing more things and grabbed his keys, he rolled his eyes,

"What do you want Damon?" Stefan sighed. Damon leaned against the doorway, he smirked,

"So you and Elena on better terms I see," Damon stated, Stefan was getting pissed off,

"If you have something to say spit it out, if not move the fuck out of my way," Stefan seriously,

"You're going to leave? When Elena is risking her life having your baby?" Damon asked,

"Not my problem, she is with you, she loves you now, what the hell do you want me to do, Krystal, the girl your blood is responsible for turning, the one you ran off and left, she is not answering her phone, and she isn't taking the death of her parents very well, I have got to get back to her," Stefan shoving him off of him.

"You called me because Elena needed help, I came, its not my fault she loves me, and I am not going to stop her," Damon harshly,

"Hey Damon, about Elena's sire bond to you, I think…hi Stefan, I didn't know you were here, I'll just…" Bonnie going back downstairs, Stefan was fuming now,

"Sire bond? Yeah, and on that note," Stefan grabbing his bag and leaving his room.

"Stefan," Damon chasing him out to his car,

"Listen Damon, you got Elena, okay, I am friends with Krystal, she needs me, and if you are her friend, or ever want to be, you will let me go, right now," Stefan seriously,

"Why should I? Give me one god damn reason right now," Damon seriously,

"She might know of someone who can help Elena alright?" Stefan spoke slowly and quietly,

"What?" Damon with wild eyes,

"She might know someone who can give her an idea of how to turn Elena human for the pregnancy," Stefan explained.

"I'm coming with you," Damon stated,

"No you are not, I am not supposed to tell you this anyway," Stefan jerking off of his hold on him, he threw his stuff in the back,

"Why because Krystal said so?" Damon asked harshly,

"She doesn't want to give you false hope," Stefan pointing his finger hard into Damon's chest, he got in his car shut the door and sped off. Damon stared at his brother hauling ass, Damon couldn't help but be a little worried over Krystal, despite the fact that he was with Elena, he turned and walked back into the house.
