*AN* Thanks for the reviews so far! Hopefully, I will keep updating everyday, but I'm back at school in 2 days so... Oh well! Hope you like the 3rd chapter in the story!
Recap:
...'How about you stay here tonight? We can just talk. Again.' Stefan said. I loved how he could make me laugh. 'Ok. Let me tell Jenna.' We stayed together all night, talking about us, with the occasional kiss. I think I'm falling in love.
Chapter 3
Elena's POV
Well. After last night, I feel a little closer to Stefan. I think that even though I can't tell him the biggest secret I have ever had to keep in my 160 years of life, I feel I can completely trust him. If I had turned my humantity off after the death of my parents, I would have never felt anything for Stefan. Also, after all these years of bearing with the hurt and pain of losing my parents, being with Stefan makes the hole in my heart start to heal. He makes me happier; happier than I have ever been. And that is an achievement. To make a vampire happy without blood, wow.
Damon's POV
Last night, after Elena had walked past me, I realised I couldn't hear her heartbeat. Why was that? I wonder... Anyway, she is beautiful. I wish I was like Stefan. But I lost that when Katherine changed me. I turned my humanity off the moment I realised I had lost everything. My parents, my life, ny chance to have a family, everything. That doesn't matter anymore. I want Elena, and I always get what I want. I'm a vampire, I can have what I want, without asking. As I was in my thoughts, Stefan walked down the old, wooden and creaky staircase. 'Hello, brother.' Stefan greeted me so cheerfully. I wonder what happened with him and Elena last night. As he had reached the bottom of the stairs, Elena came out of the bedroom door in her PJ's. How cute. 'I see u stayed the night then, Elena?' I said. Again, no heartbeat. She gave me a weird look and answered 'Not that its any of your business but yes I did.' I hate the way she talks to me. 'Ok calm down, missy.' I said, in a sarcastic kinda way. She turned around to face me and glared at me with those devilish eyes. Weird. There were so many things about her that had me puzzled. I couldn't understand why I couldn't hear her heartbeat, or why she hated me, or why she just couldn't give a shit about me. Anyway, why do I care? I'm a vampire, I shouldn't care. But I do. Because I want her, and I will get her.
Elena's POV
Damon was such a prick. He gave me this crazy psycotic look. Like he wanted something. But there was one thing that puzzled me about Damon... I couldn't hear his heartbeat. Stefan's was as clear as day, but Damon's I couldn't hear... I wonder... Just as I was in my thoughts, Stefan made me lose my train of thought. He asked me 'Would you like some breakfast, Elena?' I just replied 'No thanks, I'm good.' I am still puzzling about Damon. Then it hit me... Was he...? Was he a vampire?
Stefan's POV
After Elena had left, I walked back onto my mansion of a house, to find Damon standing in front of me. 'There's something wrong about her. She's... A closed book, one might say.' Damon said, in his stupid kinda way. 'Leave it Damon, she is fine. There is nothing more to her than her normal human self. Don't let your vampirism get in the way of reality, my friend.' I replied. Damon could scare me sometimes with him being a vampire and all, but sometimes he was right. I knew there was something about Elena that I couldn't put my finger on. But I wasn't going to let that get in the way of us. Us... Wow that's an amazing feeling. Thinking of me and her... Together...
I lost my train of thought as Damon snapped his fingers in front of my face. 'Hello? Anybody home?' Damon said, being very patronizing. ' Stop it Damon.' ' What? I know there is something about her. I'm a vampire, I should know. I have heightened hearing compared to humans. I can hear heartbeats. Elena however, I can't hear hers. She could be a-'
'She's not a vampire Damon.'
'How do you know?'
'I don't!'
'How do you explain her not having a heartbeat? Or not having breakfast? Or having a secret that she can't tell you?'
'How do you know about that?' I was getting angry now.
'Again, I have heightened hearing, brother. She could be a vampire.'
Damon could be right. Maybe that was the secret she was hiding. Even if she is, I wouldn't care. She is perfect the way she is. But would it scare me? Yes. I would freak out. Elena was right about that. But I wouldn't show it. I would let it sink in, and think about it when she wasn't here. What would I do if Damon was right? I think its time for some investigating.
Elena's POV
I need to tell him. I think I'm falling for him, but I can stop it if his reaction to me telling him this secret is bad. Ill text him.
'Hi Stefan, its Elena. We seriously need to talk. Again. I know its a lot of talking, but this time its important. Come over whenever, I'll be home all day. Love, Elena.'
Send. So I am going to tell him. But the thing is, it seems like Damon is like me. A vampire. No emotions, and the feeling like he is in control. And no heartbeat. Shit. Maybe Damon knows about me... If he is a vampire, he would have heard my heartbeat, if I had one. But he would have figured it out if he couldn't hear my heartbeat. Oh holy shit. But, If Damon is a vampire, maybe Stefan knows about vampires existing, he just doesn't know about me. Maybe he does...if Damon knows, he could have told Stefan... Ok. Time to stop fretting about it. I will see what happens when Stefan turns up. Oh, a text from... Stefan. It read:
'Hi Elena. I can't come over now, but I will come and see u later this afternoon or this evening. Hopefully that's ok... See you later. Love, Stefan.'
Ok. So I have all day to plan what to say to him. Great.
Stefan's POV
Sent. 'I am going to do some investigating, then I'm gonna talk to Elena.' I said to Damon. He chuckled. 'Good luck with that. What are you gonna do? Go to a library? Ha!'
'Oh shut it Damon. Just because your a vampire, doesn't mean you can be a dick.'
'Ooooo harsh!'
And with that, I left Damon to his thoughts.
(4 hours later)
Stefan's POV
So, after like 4 hours of researching on the internet and in books, I had found some ways to see if someone is a vampire. A loss of appetite, seems drawn away and in thought, no heartbeat (that you can hear) etc. Elena was all of these things. Shit. Elena is a vampire. I'm freaking out... I don't know what to do. Maybe she was using me... Wait... Does she know about Damon? She must do...
Elena's POV
So, I have come to a conclusion that Damon, the evil, patronizing and pathetic moron is a vampire. But, now I'm worried. If Damon is a vampire, and Stefan knows, maybe Stefan knows about me... I don't know. Its scary, thinking that the one person who cares for me might run away screaming. Just as I was fretting over that thought, my phone buzzed. A text. It read:
'Hey Elena, its Stefan. I am coming over now, so I will see u in a few. :) Love, Stefan'
Holy shit. He is gonna know. Maybe he already knows. I'm scared.
Fifteen minutes later, I heard a knock on the door. Jenna answered it, I guess, as Jeremy was raving in his bedroom. As Jenna called up the stairs, I called back, 'Send him up!'. Two minutes later, the brooding, sexy and compelling Stefan Salvatore walked into my bedroom. How great. But, back to reality. He came in, and sat on my bed. He seemed nervous and uneasy. Fuck. He knows. 'Look, Stefan. I have something to tell you, and-' Stefan butt in and said: 'Don't hesitate. I might already know.' Shit. 'Ok... Deep breath... I am not who you think I am. Actually, I am a lot like your brother. I'm not like him in the personality way- I'm not a prick and a self-centered bastard. I am... I am one of his kind. I... I am a vampire.' Stefan just sat there like a rock. 'Stefan? Stefan?' I was shocked at myself for telling him. After what felt like a millenium of silence, Stefan spoke, very quietly 'How could you be one of them... A bloodsucker... Your so sweet and kind and beautiful... How...?' 'Listen to me Stefan. I promise you I would never hurt you.' I touched his shoulder, and he flinched. Shit. I knew he would be freaked out. 'Please, please don't be afraid. I'm not gonna hurt you.' Silence. 'Ok. I believe you. But I need some time.' He said. Good. Stefan wasn't completely shocked.
'Ok. That's fine. I'll text you?'
'Ok. Bye.'
'Wai-' and he was gone.
*AN*OMG she told him! I wonder what is going to happen! What will Damon do if he finds out? What will Stefan do? Find out soon! Review and follow please! X
