Chapter 7: The Rescue
Stefan could only watch on as the vampire who'd gotten him stuck to this damn tree chased Alexis. He knew it was a vampire, nothing else could've gotten him stuck like this. He tried wiggling himself free, but the only thing that got him, was pain. The branch was sticking so far into his body that he couldn't wiggle out, not without help. He glanced down, praying that Damon would arrive before the vampire killed Alexis.
Stefan watched as Alexis pushed the vampire away from her, and tried to run. He heard her shoulder pop as the vampire pulled it out of it's socket. He watched her pick up a stick, and try to swing it at him. He had to give her credit, she was a fighter, even though she was in way over her head. He saw the vampire grab the stick and shove it towards her.
"No! Don't!" Stefan yelled, knowing what the vampire was going to do. "NO!" He yelled as the vampire stabbed Alexis in the side with the branch. The vampire looked up at him and grinned, Stefan didn't recognize him. He moved around, crying out as he tried to get free, seeing the vampire's face change and his fangs come out. "Alexis!" He yelled as the vampire bit her. He watched as her breath hitched in her chest and her eyes closed.
All of a sudden, the vampire dropped her and was pinned to the ground. Stefan saw Damon holding a stake over the vampire's heart. The vampire shoved Damon off of him, quickly getting up.
Damon glanced at Alexis, seeing the vamp watching her. He knew that the vamp would try to get to her again, and that's when he'd strike, he just had to wait for him to try it.
"Pretty thirsty huh?" Damon asked the vampire, he could tell the vampire was pretty new, his movements were indecisive. "New to this whole, drinking blood thing huh?" He taunted. He watched as the vampire's face contorted once again as he stared at Alexis. "What are you waiting for? Dinner is right in front of you, just waiting for you to dig in!" He watched as the vampire's eyes got larger, and he charged towards Alexis. Damon cut him off midway, stabbing the stake into his heart. The vampire looked up at Damon, gurgling, as he fell to the ground, dead. Damon looked at him, disgusted, and headed towards the tree where Stefan was. He jumped up, landing just below the branch.
"Always getting into trouble, eh Brother?" He asked, and then snapped the branch off on one side, causing Stefan to growl in pain.
"You should be getting Alexis out of here Damon. She needs help." Stefan growled out, trying to ignore the pain.
"Not before I get you down." Damon replied, snapping the branch off of the tree, causing Stefan to fall. Damon jumped down next to him. "Brace yourself." He said, and Stefan moved over, leaning onto the tree. "On three. One-." He began, and pulled, Stefan trying and failing to hold in his cry of pain. "Get some bunny in you and you'll be fine." Damon said, throwing the branch off into the woods. "Wonder who created him, he seemed fairly new."
"Don't worry about that right now, you need to get Alexis." Stefan panted. Damon rolled his eyes and walked over to where Alexis' body was. He bent down and checked her pulse, finding a weak one.
"She's still alive." Stefan nodded, relief in his eyes. "She needs the hospital though.""Go. I'll tell Elena and be right there." Damon nodded, bending down and picking her up. He looked down at her, her face contorted in pain, blood leaking from her stab wound, and the bite marks on her neck. Damon took a deep breath, trying to calm the urge to drink her dry.
"Damon?" Stefan asked, wondering why his brother wasn't leaving.
"I'm going." Damon muttered and began walking out of the woods.
