I don't own the vampire diaries, any characters or quotes.
Sorry I didn't update yesterday. School started and I am going to try and update weekly, but it might not always be on Monday. Don't you hate school?
Please enjoy!
Stefan took special care for going to Gloria's that evening. Not only did he want to look good for Rebekah, he also had to impress her brother. Who was not only her brother, but the head of the original family; the most powerful family in the world.
Stefan put on his cleanest suit and slicked back his hair. He looked around his small apartment to see if there was anything he was forgetting.
Stefan left early for Gloria's. He hoped to get some shots down before the Michelson's arrived. Stefan walked passed all the usual alleys where he hunted for a drink. He passed by them that night because he wanted a better drink at Gloria's.
After drinking blood from that girl with Rebekah, Stefan had such a rush. It gave him a feeling that he never wanted to end. He knew that nothing would compare except blood sharing with Rebekah while making love to her. He hoped that the next time they shared blood, they would not get interrupted by Nik.
A train roared by Stefan as he walked near the tracks. Stefan wondered if Nik would allow him to take Rebekah out for a train ride one day. They would not go far; maybe to a field on the outskirts of the city. Stefan just wanted to enjoy Rebekah's company.
This feeling was new to him as a vampire. He knew it wasn't love. He hadn't loved since Katherine and he didn't want to love again. Stefan cared for Rebekah, and it shocked him since he came to Chicago for a good time. There were no rules and that's was how Chicago was supposed to be. Stefan hoped that after he impressed Klaus, Chicago would again become fun. Stefan knew that together, he and Rebekah would have a blast; blood, liquor, sex.
When Stefan arrived at Gloria's, the band was in full swing and most couples were dancing, only a few were at the bar drinking. Stefan saw a young lady alone at a table. He went over to join her.
"What are you doing all by yourself," he asked.
"Oh, I'm not alone. My husband just went to get a drink," she said. "See there he is over by the bar." She waved to a man who looked like he wasn't having a good time, waiting for the bar tender to get him the drinks he asked for.
"What's your name?" Stefan asked.
"Leila," she said.
"Leila, you are going to do as I say and you won't complain," he compelled her.
He told her to follow him outside. He pushed her against a wall and slowly took off one of her gloves. Stefan saw that she was trembling. "Don't be afraid," he said. He usually liked it when they whimpered and screamed in pain, but he knew he had a long night ahead of him.
Stefan brought Leila's wrist up to his. He inhaled the scent flowing through her veins. He moved her wrist down to his lips. He bit down slowly letting the blood flow into his mouth. He felt the warmth spreading to the rest of his body as he drank.
When Stefan realized that her breathing was slowing down, he stopped. He compelled her to not say a word about tonight to anyone. Stefan told her to go get the bite bandaged and then to go back to the speakeasy.
Stefan wiped the blood off of his mouth. As he turned the corner to go back into Gloria's, he saw Rebekah and Nik arriving. He walked over to them, "Good evening Mr. Salvatore," Klaus said. Klaus wasn't very happy that he had to spend the night making sure Rebekah picked an acceptable suitor for the time being. He would rather be spending the time with a girl in his arms.
Klaus led them into Gloria's. He walked up to a booth and compelled the people in it to leave and the three sat down.
After a couple drinks the vampire's went out on the dance floor. Stefan danced with Rebekah and Klaus danced with Mariselle. It shocked Rebekah that her brother would dance with the same girl more than once. She had seen Nik with this girl multiple times since they first arrived in Chicago.
When the song was over, Rebekah dragged her partner back to the table and ordered them another round of drinks. When Klaus saw that they had returned to the table he also went back leaving Mariselle out on the dance floor alone.
"So Stefan, enlighten me. What makes you worthy of an original like my sister?" Klaus asked. He had one arm on the booth he leaned against. He was sitting across from Rebekah and Stefan. "She's pure vampire, and you are no more than a diluted bloodline."
"Don't listen to him Stefan, Nik's an elitist," Rebekah said. Stefan was more than that to her. She felt something special with him and she wanted to explore more.
"Hmmm. And where's the rest of your family? "Stefan asked ignoring what Klaus said.
"Well let's see. I killed most of them." Klaus said. His mother was dead. Finn had been in his coffin for the past couple centauries and Kol was daggered back in New Orleans a few decades ago.
"But not all," Rebekah said. Elijah remained un daggered. Klaus suspected his brother was somewhere in Europe waiting for Klaus to find him. Elijah remained loyal to his family, but he did not like the constant mass murdering that came with Klaus. Klaus allowed his brother to go because he was older and he could take care of himself. Nik knew that Elijah believed that family was always and forever, so he did not fear that his brother was not in Chicago.
"And you're okay with that?" Stefan asked. He looked at Rebekah.
"Well we all had a chance to choose a side. I chose the right one," Rebekah grabbed Klaus's hand and squeezed it. Their life had been a hard one. Always on the run from Mikael, but they stuck together as a family should.
"Where the Hell's my wife?" A man yelled. He came up to the table and looked right at Stefan.
"I don't know. I give up," Stefan said. Stefan recognized this man as the one Leila waved to when he compelled her to follow him.
"You think you're so tough, hiding in your bar drinking your bar. I think a call to the Chicago PD might set you straight," The man's face was slowly turning red.
The vampires all laughed. Klaus looked at Stefan to see how he would handle the situation. Would Stefan be weak, or would he challenge the man? Stefan was a little too cocky for his taste. But Klaus saw that Stefan was good for his sister. Stefan would be able to hold his own ground against Rebekah and that is what she needed.
Stefan noticed that Leila was coming up the stairs near where they were seated. He called her over.
"Oh thank god." The man tried to leave with Leila but Stefan compelled him to sit instead. The man sat next to Klaus. Klaus looked at him and gave a laugh. He looked back at Stefan surprised at what he was seeing.
Stefan began to take off Leila's glove finger by finger. The girl did not protest so the originals assumed that Stefan had compelled her earlier that evening. Stefan then took out a small knife from his jacket.
"Stefan, don't be mean," Rebekah said. She wasn't sure what he was doing. Rebekah leaned closer into Stefan. Stefan then dragged the blade across Leila's wrist. The scent of blood immediately hit all of the vampires. Their hunger grew even stronger. Klaus was beginning to like the Salvatore. Klaus watched as he wanted to see more. The blood from Leila's wrist fell into a glass below.
"Thank you so much love, why don't you go get that bandaged up," Stefan said. Leila stood and walked away as Stefan took the drink and slid it across the table. "Why don't you join me for a drink?" he said to the man. Stefan leaned back.
"What kind of sick freaks are you?" the man stuttered out.
Stefan then compelled him to drink. Klaus and Rebekah watched as the man took the glass filled with his wives blood and raised it to his lips; his hand shaking the entire time. Klaus enjoyed watching the man drink the blood. It was not something that he usually did to humans. Klaus supposed it was like a vampire drinking vervain … well maybe less painful.
"I didn't catch your name," Stefan said as the man lowered the drink.
"Go to hell," the man sputtered.
Klaus laughed and Rebekah smiled. The original's liked how this man was trying to stand up for himself.
"Do you want another sip," Stefan threatened.
"Liam, Liam grant," The man said in fear of having to drink his wife's blood again.
"Have another sip Liam," Stefan said. Klaus took his drink and tapped the side of it with Liam's glass before raising the liquor to his mouth. Klaus enjoyed the show but in the back of his mind he was suspicious on why Stefan wanted to know the human's name, surely it wasn't important.
Stefan then made the man finish the drink. The vampires all laughed at the agony that Liam was going through.
Please Review! They make me really happy!
