*AN* Sorry for waiting so long for a update! Its the week for mock exams so I have been rather busy! Hopefully this chapter will be good! Please review! X

Recap:

We layed on the bed, Elena resting her head on my chest. It was perfect. I love her.

Chapter 8

Elena's POV

I woke up to the blazing sun peering through the curtains. I turned over to find Stefan still asleep. He look so peaceful when he slept.

"Your staring." Stefan said sleepily. He made me jump.

"No I'm not. I'm gazing." I replied.

He opened his eyes and rolled over so he was facing me. He gazed into my eyes, and it was like I could see into his mind. He was so beautiful.

"Good morning." He said with a gorgeous smile on his face. I love it.

"Good morning. What's the time?" I replied.

"Its... Its 7.05. We should get up and get ready." He said.

"Ok... But not before this."

I leaned over and kissed him softly but passionately on the lips. As the kiss lengthened, it became more heavy and heated. As we broke apart after a few minutes, he said "Well that was unexpected." I chuckled.

"Ok we need to get up now." I said. I kissed him one more time and got up and walk over to the bathroom. "Wanna join me in the shower?" I said, with a slightly seductive tone to my voice.

"Of course I will. I'd love too." He replied. He followed me into the bathroom, and we had a short but amazing shower together. We talked, kissed and spent some quality time together. It was epic. When we had finished, we got out and dried ourselves, and got dressed. When I had finished putting my make-up on and brushing my hair, we set off for my house. When we were driving we had the CD on. Stefan and I were singing along together, and laughing and debating which lyrics were right and wrong. This was the first time I had ever heard him sing, and he was good. He could sing low and high and in tune. He should sing at school. I might have to sort that out. As we pulled up outside my house, I undid my seat belt and kissed Stefan on the cheek and said "Ill be back in a minute." He smiled at me and I walked into the house. As I opened the door, Jenna came rushing towards me with a look if anger on her face.

"Where have you been?" Jenna shouted at me.

"At Stefans. I did text you!" I replied.

"Oh. Well I guess I just forgot about the device I call a cell phone. How stupid of me." Jenna said, a little embarrassed. I laughed and walked up the stairs and grabbed my bag and books. I ran down the stairs to find Mr Saltzman at the door.

"Morning Elena. Is Miss Sommers home?" He asked.

"Yeah sure. Ill just go and get her. Jenna!" I replied.

"Yeah?" Jenna replied.

"Mr Saltzman Is here, he wants to see you.!" I said.

Jenna came around the corner and said:

"Morning Mr Saltzman. Would you like to come in?"

"Yes that would be great." He replied.

"Ill see you when I get back Jenna! See you in history Mr Saltzman!" I called.

"Bye Elena!" Both Jenna and Mr Saltzman called in unison.

Was it wierd that a teacher just turned up at my door? I walked to the car, deep in thought. I dumped my stuff in the boot and got back in the car.

"What's up?" Stefan said as I sighed when I sat in the car.

"Mr Saltzman just turned up at my door." I replied.

"Why?" Stefan asked.

"I have no idea." And with that, we drove off, both in deep thought.

Jenna's POV

As Elena shut the door and left, I turned to Mr Saltzman and said "So Mr Saltzman, why are you here? Shouldn't you be at school teaching?" I think I said it with a little bit of a cheeky voice.

"Please, call me Alaric. Yeah I probably should be. But this is important. Its about Jeremy." He replied.

"Oh no. What's wrong?" I said, shocked.

"Jeremy has been skipping classes. He keeps missing lessons, and sometimes not even turning up at school. He sometimes walks out of classes without permission and storms off. I don't know what has gotten into him."

"Its still the pressure of dealing with his parents dying. They only died a few months ago, and its still hard for him to cope." I said.

"Yeah, well. Could you talk to him? Its going to make a difference if he comes to school- he can talk to someone. I mean, I'm always here, he can talk to me whenever. But he can't keep skipping his classes. He is missing out on so much, and he can't miss out on anymore." Said Alaric, finishing his statement.

"Yes of course." I replied, with a little bit of hope in my voice. Was Jeremy going to listen to me? I don't know. Its worth a try. As we walked towards the door, Alaric said:

"Thanks Miss Sommers."

"Please, call me Jenna."

"Ok then Jenna. I was thinking, maybe you and I should catch a drink sometime." He replied, with a kind of seductive tone in his voice.

"Yes definitely. Goodbye Mr- Alaric."

He and I giggled and he replied

"Goodbye Jenna." He smiled as he left the house and I shut the door behind him. God he is gorgeous.

Stefan's POV

As Elena and I left her house, I said

"I wonder why Mr Saltzman turned up at your house."

"I have no idea. Maybe its about Jeremy." She replied.

"Oh right" I replied. She put her hand on my leg as I drove away. She was so romantic. I looked over at her as she looked at me, and I gazed into her eyes. I turned back to face the road with a million thoughts running through my mind. I love her so much.

As we arrived at school, we were greeted by Caroline. Her beaming face lit up Elena and I's expressions. She bounded over to us, and hugged us both tightly.

"Hi guys!" Caroline said in the happiest voice anyone could have.

"Hi Caroline. How are you?" Elena asked, with a huge and beautiful smile on her face.

"I'm fine. Great actually." Caroline replied.

"We can tell!" I exclaimed, jokingly.

We all giggled together and chatted as we walked into the building of our school. As we went to first period, Elena got a text. Elena looked excited for a moment, but that excitement was gone within a second when she read on. I looked over to her ans asked her "What's up?" She replied "Yeah." She mouthed to me after "Read this. Its from Bonnie." She forwarded it to me. It read:

'Hi Elena. I think I have worked a way to find if Stefan is a vampire hunter. But its not too good. Its a... Let's just say a long process. Come over after school. We need to talk this over. Bring Stefan. See you later.'

I looked at the screen of my phone in confusion. What did she mean? I had to find out. I will know later on. But now for History. I wonder whether Mr Saltzman will be in today, or if he's still with Jenna.

Elena's POV

I am puzzled by what Bonnie meant. Stefan looked pretty confused when he read what the text said. I am afraid its going to include some crazy witchy guru stuff. Not that I don't like magic, I just have known a lot of witches before, and they are troublemakers. Especially when they learn magic. Through the whole history lesson, which Mr Saltzman was late to, I couldn't concentrate. I was too busy thinking about Bonnie's text.

The day went past extremely slow. At lunch Stefan, Caroline and I ate together, and Caroline kept going on about the prom council and the school dance. I wasn't paying attention for most of it; neither was Stefan. I was still puzzling over Bonnie. Stefan had made plans to meet at his car after school to go to Bonnie's straight after school. After last period, Stefan and I jumped into his car and drove to Bonnie's. When we arrived, she was sitting outside on the porch woth an old book in her hand. Probably a grimour.

"Hi Bonnie." I said as Stefan and I walked up to her house.

"Oh hi Elena. Hey Stefan." She replied. She stood up and hugged me, and then hugged Stefan.

"Come inside." She said, and we both followed her inside. Stefan sat in the armchair as I slumped onto the couch.

"Would either of you like a drink?" She asked.

"Water please." Stefan replied.

"Elena?" Bonnie asked.

"No thanks, I'm not in the mood for a drink." I replied. Stefan was a little confused at my reply, but Bonnie knew what I meant. Bonnie sometimes let me have a little bit of her blood in a glass, just to help with the cravings. But not today. I didn't want it. Which was a change. I never turned down a drop of blood. Wierd. Oh well I didn't have time to think about that.

"Bonnie?" I called from the lounge.

"Yeah?" She replied.

"What is it you wanted to talk about that was so important?" I asked, not sure whether I wanted to hear this 'news' or not. Stefan stayed silent the whole time. He stayed as still as a statue.

"Ill talk in a minute." She called. Stefan and I sat in silence for what seemed like a lifetime until Bonnie walked back in with Stefan's drink and her own. She went up to Stefan to give him his drink, but he was daydreaming.

"Stefan? Stefan? Do you want this drink or not? Stefan!?" Bonnie said.

"Huh? Oh thanks Bonnie. Sorry I was... Out of it completely." He replied.

Both Bonnie and I chuckled.

"So... Can you tell us now? It has been bugging and worrying us all day?" I asked. Stefan suddenly took interest in the conversation. The smile on Bonnie's face was gone in an instant as I asked her this question, as thoughts came flooding into her mind.

"Ok. Well, I was reading through the books my Grams left me earlier, and I came across a part about vampire hunters. It told a story of a boy many hundreds of years ago knowing a vampire..."

1789...

"Father! I do not want to! Please do not make me!" I cried as he pulled me towards the room.

"I'm sorry, son. But I have to know." He pulled me into this old, dark room. He tied my hands together behind a chair rather tightly and put a chair in front of me and sat down.

"Now son, what is this thing you know of?" He asked me.

"I do not know what it is you are talking about Father! I have told you this before!" There was sweat dripping off my face. I was not going to disrespect my friends secrecy.

"Tell me!" He screamed at me, as he swung his hand at my face and hit it. I screeched in pain at this.

"I will not! I do not know what you mean!" I screamed in reply.

"You do know. Rebekah? She is one of them is he not?" He asked as he breathed in my face.

"Rebekah is not a vampire!" I shouted in his face.

"She is! Do not lie to me son!"

He then untied my hands and dragged me by the hair to Rebekah's home. He barged into the building and grabbed Rebekah by the arm and pulled her outside into the courtyard in front of everyone.

"Here, son, is a vampire. An evil, blood sucking vampire." My father shouted to draw attention.

"You told him?" Rebekah mouthed to me.

"No!" I mouthed back. "He guessed!"

"Goodbye." She replied, quietly.

"Here you go son. Drive this stake through her heart and see how she rots if you do not believe me." He handed me the stake. I could not do this. She was my friend.

"No! I will not kill her!" I broke free from my father's grasp and ran to her. I stood in front of her in protection.

"Ha! You think she will not hurt you? She will kill you if you do not do this!" He replied.

"I will not hurt you. You know I will not. You have seen me at my dangerous and dark times. Do not believe him." Rebekah called from behind me. I believed her.

"She will not hurt me!" I shouted. And then I saw it. The markings on his skin. He ran over to us, knocked me out of the way, and drove the stake through Rebekah's heart. I screamed in horror and sorrow. I looked at my father, with true hatred in my eye. Then, the marking on his hand grew. It expanded from his hand up to his elbow. It was unusual. I screamed at him at the top of my lungs and ran away.

Now...

"And then the tattoo has turned up on every single vampire hunter of this blood line. I did some more research, and found the family tree of the Salvatore's. This story is your ancestors, Stefan." Bonnie exclaimed. Stefan and I were in pure shock.

"So... S-so what do we do now?" I asked, still a bit shocked.

"Stefan will have to kill a vampire to see if the tattoo appears. If it does, he will kill more. But if it does not appear, the gene was stopped at Damon, or you just did not get the gene." She told us.

"So I have to kill, to see if I will kill more? Stefan asked, in utter confusion.

"Yes, that is how I am understanding. But the first kill is not what triggers the killing. The gene will kick in eventually, and you will start to feel the urge to kill. This is why we have to do it now." Bonnie exclaimed. Stefan had gone pale with the thought of killing someone.

"Ok, this was worse than I thought." I said after a few moments of silence.

"Yeah. It is." Stefan said.

"So... What do you want to do Stefan?" Bonnie asked.

"I... I don't know. Its... Its hard to decide. There is one thing that is still puzzling me. What if this tattoo does appear after I kill a vampire? Do I just kill every vampire in sight? Or is there a way to stop it?" Stefan asked, getting a little angry.

"I don't know. I am still researching. I will keep you up to date with any information I come up with. But you should be safe for now." Bonnie replied.

"Well we better be going now Stefan." I said.

"Yeah. Thanks Bonnie." Stefan said. Bonnie nodded as we walked back to the car. Stefan drove back my house, and as we did we stayed in silence. So many thoughts were running through my mind. I guess a lot were running through his too. We pulled up to my house after a few minutes. I leaned over and pulled his face to face mine. I kissed him gently but passionately on the lips. As I pulled back, I said "I love you, Stefan Salvatore. Do not ever forget that." He smiled and replied "I love you too. And I won't." We both chuckled. I got out of the car and Stefan drove off.
