Elena marched past Stefan, scoffing slightly at his ridiculous accusation. "I am not going to kill your brother. Your brother, your problem." Stefan appeared beside her, jogging every now and again to keep up. "It'll be your problem if he starts eating people." Elena shook her head, a determined look in her eyes. "How do you even know that your brother is here? Let's face it, there hasn't been anyone who had dealt with a sudden loss in blood in the last couple of days, or any unexplained animal attacks. And I have more important things to do other than kill your brother!" Stefan snorted, a grin stretching from ear to ear. "Oh yeah? Like what?" Elena stopped, chewing her lip in thought, her mind blank. "Aha! Miss Mystic Falls is coming up. I need to focus on that and school work." Stefan laughed out loud. "What?!" Elena shouted, fed up of him following her. "what, is so hilarious about that?" Stefan shook his head, still chuckling.
"I have met many vampire hunters in my time, and you have to be the most unusual of them all. You kind of remind me of Buffy."
"Buffy? Buffy! BUFFY?!" Elena stuttered and stammered, looking for the right words to say. "look, why don't you leave me alone, and I'll think about it. OK?" Stefan shrugged, a mischievous glint in his eye. "you'll see that I'm right. Eventually."
"Mmhm? Yeah, you're right. I'll kill what'shisface your brother on my magical flying unicorn, and have tea with the queen of England afterwards. Good bye Stefan." With that Elena hurried off, leaving Stefan at the edge of the woods, blending into the shadows.
"what time do you call this? I have been out of my mind with worry Elena!" Elena closed the door behind her, cursing under her breath. Of course, Aunt Jenna was there. Yelling at her. For being late. Again. "Look, I'm sorry Jenna, I just got caught up on the way home." Jenna raised a sceptical eyebrow, arms crossed. "Well, I thought we could have a family night? Like watch a movie or something. I, mean, if you want? I've got ice-cream." Elena bit her lip, wincing at the guilty rush all over her body. "I promised Bonnie and Caroline that I would go to the bonfire party tonight. Sorry." Jenna's arms dropped, a sudden frown coming over her face. "right, no of course. It's important for you have to have a life. Well, I'll leave some dinner in the oven for you." Elena pushed past her Aunt, and was halfway up the stairs when she turned around. "Hey, Jenna? I'm going shopping Saturday afternoon, but in the morning, could you help me pick out some dress ideas?" jenna's face lit up at the prospect, and nodded. "Sure, I'd love that." Elena smiled to herself, and ran up the stairs, and into her room to get ready for the party.
