Chapter four: Option 2 – Become a vampire.
Early that morning I woke up, I got dressed, brushed my teeth and did my hair. Today was the day I was going to tell Stefan, Bonnie, and Caroline and possibly Jeremy that I was going to become a vampire.
I know they would be shocked and angry but they have got to understand that this might be the only way. The decision was finally made and it was my decision, the only trouble was who was going to turn me Stefan or Damon. I rang up all of my friends and told them there was going to be a meeting at the Salvatore's boarding house.
"As you can see there is a reason why I have got you all here today, and it's basically to tell you my decision. I have been informed that there is another option that I can chose and that if I choose it then I can protect my family properly and also become stronger myself" I began to speak and after I finished that sentence off Stefan walked up to me and shook his head "Elena, I know what you're doing and I won't accept it and to be honest I don't think your friends will either". I replied "Stefan I don't care what you think, you can't control me anymore, I am sick of living in fear". And that's when I heard a gasp, it was bonnie. "Elena no, you can't become one of them" she sighed. And that's when everyone knew what she meant and they began to shake their heads. Jeremy looked angry and then shouted "Elena no, you won't, I won't let you". I walked over to him and hugged him. "Jeremy I have got to protect our family, my other option was worse, I was going to surrender myself as a sacrifice to the original's but someone , persuaded me this option" and I looked over at Damon.
Stefan shouted "Damon you are really stupid and I am not going to be the one to turn her, sorry Elena but this is too much for me, yes I love you but I am not going to end your life for you" and then he walked out of the room. Caroline then spoke" Elena I am here for you whatever you decide to do, I can even turn you if you want" she smiled. "No I don't want Caroline to turn you, I don't want you to become a vampire Elena, remember how Caroline was when she first turned" Bonnie said in an irritated voice. "Everything will be fine guys, I have got all of you to help me, but once I am one, you must agree not to tell anyone, keep this a secret forever" I replied. Damon smiled and walked over to me "It is my job to turn you Miss Elena Gilbert, I will turn you later on tonight" he winked and kissed my hand.
That was it, my fate was decided, I was going to become one of the most dangerous creatures that ever existed. Everyone had gone apart from Damon and Stefan of course and I was lounging about on the sofa when Stefan came into the room and sat in the armchair next to me. "Elena please do not do this, I beg you not to" he spoke in a sad voice. "What over choices have I got Stefan, if I am a vampire I think I will feel a lot better and I will have the strength to protect my family more" I sighed.
"Live and be free, we will protect you and you will know that, also we will lift the curse off the moonstone somehow" he smiled. His smile brought back happy memories, but memories that would never occur again, as I have fallen in love with his brother Damon.
"Stefan, I have made my final decision, hate me if you want but I'm sticking with it" I replied.
"Fair enough, and I won't hate you Elena, I will always love you, but you were never really mine, you were Damon's really. You may not showed it and always tried to hate him but I could tell in your eyes that you had something for him, so this Damon thing is not new to me Elena and ill understand if you want to be with him, but we all have got to stick together no matter what happens" he smiled and walked out of the room. I was still processing his words, I couldn't believe that he actually said that, it shocked me, I repeated the words 'you were never really mine, you were Damon's really' in my head thousands of times and still they wouldn't stick in my head.
Damon approached me with a massive grin on his face. "It is time Elena, I have got everything set up for you" he said. I smiled and I knew I was ready for it to happen now and I was even happier that Damon was the one to turn me.
