Chapter Seven

Fells Church, Virginia

It has been weeks since Stefan knocked out and he has not awakened. Damon did not have anyone to bother or tease about his ways of being a vampire. Stefan just lays there and sleeps with his eyes completely open. Damon could not stand seeing it. His Mother died the same way and as much as he did not like his brother sometimes, Damon did not know how he would react if he would die.

"Little brother..."he said softly.

Looking around to see if they were alone, Damon gave Stefan a soft hug.

Elena was with Meredith and Bonnie, all three worried for Stefan. As Elena went through her clothes, she said softly, "What if Stefan dies? I love him."

Meredith sighed. "I don't know Elena. I can't tell you...because it hasn't happened. But you know that if Stefan does live...you need to choose. "Her voice was calm and logical.

Elena nodded slowly, her blue eyes uncertain, before looking at Bonnie. It was obvious it was bothering her as much as her. Stefan was her friend...but Bonnie loved Damon. Did he love her back? Elena didn't know.

It was true that Elena Gilbert was selfish and neurotic. That Elena went after what she wanted and usually got it. But it was now not the time to be thinking of only of herself. All three of them were best friends, sisters.

"I just want Damon to be okay."Bonnie said softly. Stefan was her friend and she didn't want him to die but Bonnie was closer to Damon and she loved him.

Then slowly, the three girls hugged.

Mystic Falls, Virginia

They were best friends as children, teenagers, and some parts as adults. Both were as different as fire and ice, never quite having the same ideals. Stefan was responsible, obedient to their Father. Damon was reckless, never listened to their Father.

Damon got the looks from their Mother while he got it from their Father.

Stefan and Damon both loved the same woman, no matter how hard they tried. Damon kept control on blood and Stefan had acted like a monster on it.

Which was how Damon was turned and how he might die...for real. Stefan felt tears he tried to keep in slowly going down in cheeks.

Elena was a vampire. Damon was playing Sleeping Beauty, though unlike the fairytale counterpart he might not wake up.

Where would Stefan be without his older brother? Where? Damon protected him for years. Despite all the shit Stefan did to him, Damon didn't kill him. Damon didn't hate him.

SO WHY? Stefan tried to be good and fair. Stopped his murders as a Ripper though it gets harder with every smell of blood.

Karma sure as hell hated him.

Stefan threw a rock over to a part of forest, despair growing through him.

Damon can't die!

Damon.

Wasn't.

Going.

To.

Leave.

Him.

As Stefan threw more rocks, he was surprised to see Caroline appear in front of him, a confused look on her face.

"Stefan? Are you okay?"she asked softly, taking the rock out of his hands, and taking his hands in hers. Her touch felt warm. Nice.

Stefan nodded. "Course. Why wouldn't I be?" Lie…lie…lie.

Caroline frowned, putting a hand on her hips. "You don't have to lie to me Stefan. We are friends...aren't we?" Her warm usual eyes that were now hurt.

"Yeah...but you didn't turn your brother then have him might go years later..."Stefan said coldly, the feeling of wanting to tear someone's throat out in his mind.

Stefan knew Caroline was just trying to be a friend...but still it hurt. Though Caroline was a control freak, could be headstrong, and was neurotic, she wasn't as messed up as he was.

Caroline playfully nudged him as she joked, "I'm the control freak on crack remember?"

A unwilling smile broke off Stefan's face.

"Then what am I?"he asked teasingly.

Caroline could always make him feel better.

"You're the vampire with so many looks. The serious look...and now your Hey-It's-Tuesday where I hit rocks. Duh."Caroline replied.

Before Stefan could say anything, Caroline said firmly, "Now you are going to stay with Damon. Okay? No playing Edward Cullen. There is only ONE Edward Cullen and there is only ONE Stefan Salvatore. I know Damon is getting all this beauty sleep and your afraid to lose him because of that but have hope. We beat Klaus. Elena is a vampire...yeah but maybe it's a sign."

"Of what?"Stefan asked with curiosity, one brow furred.

Caroline smiled brightly. "That you two belong togetheeer..."she sang, as she pulled Stefan's hand along so they'll go back with Damon.

It wasn't long before they finally ended up in the house, considering they were vampires and all. As Stefan went closer to the room, he closed his eyes for one second, before opening them and getting the door.

Showtime.

Bonnie Bennett sat in her room, going through some spells.

After finding out Elena turned and may not to go through transition made her feel angry. In her mind, the Salvatore's along with every damn vampire that caused lives be taken were the reason her best friends were vampires.

Despite though, no matter hard Bonnie tried…she couldn't stop being friends with them or stay away. She would miss Caroline's blunt attitude and Elena's kind personality. Bonnie could easily imagine them as children again as they promised, "Best friends forever."

But Damon Salvatore and Stefan Salvatore changed that. Both had to fall for her because who she looked like...and couldn't just stay away from her. They may not have known she was a doppelganger for a hundred thousand year curse but they knew that because of their nature...they were dangerous.

Even Caroline, who had became somewhat kinder...she was still dangerous. Any time Caroline could decide to go and turn her emotions off. It happened to Stefan, though Bonnie heard it was because of his bloodthirsty nature.

So why was Bonnie going through these spells, things that could have terrible consequences...to save Damon? Help him? They weren't friends. Far from it.

Damon could go die and Bonnie would sure as hell wouldn't care. Comfort Elena...yeah. But she wouldn't grieve over him.

Though that didn't stop her from helping Elena anyway. Since Elena had her friendship with Damon...or was it, love? Her brow furred. Might as well give up on trying to figure that out. Love triangles were supposed to be complicated...but hers went another level.

"Yes. "she breathed out, finding and looking over at the spell. It was dark and maybe dangerous but who cares? This was her friends...and Damon. Besides, Bonnie had already made Jeremy see dead people and Klaus is still alive even though it was in Tyler's body.

Consequences can be damned. This will make Elena happy so Bonnie will do it. After all wasn't what she been doing for two years? Trying to make Elena happy?

Bonnie finally began chanting the spell, her words pleading and loud. She could feel her magic, the earth...come to her.

She could hear the dead witches saying the usual things. Balance being broken...you will regret it...consequences will be horrible…blah blah blah.

"I don't care about what happens."Bonnie said calmly, her eyes determined. As much as she hated Damon and wished he would leave…it will make Elena happy.

The witches disapproved voices finally stopped as the mirror made her way to her. It was a simple, old mirror. Though Bonnie never cared for it, she wondered what it'd possibly give her.

Her answer was finally given as Bonnie looked through it.

Staring back at her was a petite, wide-eyed redhead.

Another Useless Fact: A little, bit of Caroline's personality, along with Bonnie's, was inspired by Bonnie and Meredith from the original Vampire Diaries.

I know there wasn't any of Fells Church Stefan, or Mystic Falls Damon, but I figured you want to know how each of the gang was feeling from the sleep they been having. Now I know some of FC Damon was a bit OOC, but I figured he always DID have a soft spot for his brother...otherwise he would have just killed Stefan. I think I made Elena, Meredith, and FC Bonnie a bit OOC but hopefully not too much.

Anyways, please review :D
