A/N: Hello guys! This is the new chapter of my fanfic. This is not so deep but it contains something very important for the plot. Are you able to guess what? I promise to build a very good story or at least I try.
I accept any kind of comments.

Francis.

II

A beautiful brown haired girl faked a smile.
She was pretending that everything was all right just not to worry her beloved ones, but how high was the price of falsity? How long would have been capable of lying without falling? The eternity was a heavy weight on her chest as much as the idea of damnation.
Elena was a vampire and even if she did not like it, she had to accept it, but she was angry too. Why did Rebekah kill her? What did she wanted? Revenge? Actually, it might have sounded normal but according Elena's mind, shocked by all the sensation she had to deal with, it simply was not and that blond chick had to die.

"Elena? Are you okay?"

Stefan's voice interrupted her thoughts. He was waiting for her to go to school as a normal couple in a normal day although they were not. How could they? Elena prevented her to sob in front of her boyfriend. Was it wrong to wish a happy day in spite of everything?

"Yes, I am" she answered and kissed him on the lips "Why don't we go to school?"

"Are you sure you are ready? What if you feel the desire of killing someone?" he asked, "I wouldn't judge you if you decide to stay home."

"Stefan," Elena putted her hands on her boyfriend's chest to push him "I'm not an excuse to skip classes!"

Stefan laughed and went to his car. He knew that Elena was faking and that she needed blood more than anything else. She was dangerous as a pity bomb ready to explode, who would have died soon? Jeremy? Some random student? He was scared.
The reality was that he felt incredibly sorry for her. Why was he so damned generous with everyone? If he would have been an egoist, now Elena had been alive.

"Can we at least skip the first lesson?" he proposed watching her with puppy's eyes "I don't want to study some old man I've already met. It's awkward!"

Elena tried to be serious but she could not.
"You've met Oscar Wilde?" she asked, pausing over the message she was wring to Caroline "Sometimes I forget that you're the old guy here!"

Stefan started the car and the house he considered as his disappeared after a moment. He gave Elena a very quickly gaze.
"I haven't," he admitted, turning on the left and then again on the right "but I've never liked him a lot! All that damnation… it's sad!"

When they arrived at school, Elena realized that blood was all around her. How hungry she was. How much she wanted to break somebody's fragile neck just to drink his or her blood. Tempted by all these sensations, the brunette grabbed the handle of the car's door not to fall down.

"Elena? What's wrong?"

She could not fake; she was not strong enough. All the good purpose she had, the ones that were meant to keep other people safe, were now lying under a double layer of evilness. She had to be stopped.

"Blood," she murmured, "it's here! Why don't you want it? Why do I want it?"

Rebekah laughed. That new vampire was so cute. Elena was trying to be a badass as her, but she still looked like a nauseating puppy who had constantly a couple of tears pooling her eyes.
She had to do something to rock the boat.

"Do you have a problem with blood, Elena?" she screamed, "Why don't you take a sip? Then you'll feel good!"

She walked away with a big smile on her face.
Elena did not deserve that attention. She was not the first girl who became a vampire. Why was she so important? A couple of blond strands fell over her left ear and she quickly removed them with a delicate gesture.

"…what about the ball? Will you help me, Caroline?" Rebekah heard a girl talking and another one, somebody that she knew, answered, "I will and I already have some ideas."

A fragment of the past night came up to Rebekah's mind. She was crying, she was fragile and Caroline saw her. What did she tell to her friends? She had to do something in purpose.

"Can I help too?" she said, reaching the two girls and giving a giant smile to a very surprised Caroline.

"Of course you can, Bekah" Angel giggled, being so excited to have such popular girls in her group of little nerds "We'll have the first meeting in a few hours!"

"That's wonderful!" Rebekah looked at the girl straight in the eyes "Now leave without saying a single word."

Caroline was amazed. What did Rebekah wanted? As the night before, she was besotted with different feelings. Was she supposed to listen what the girl wanted to say? Did she care about that? Or maybe she was just ruining other people's lives.

"What do you want from me?" she asked, on the defensive.

"What do you remember?" Rebekah was very worried. "Did you tell someone?"

"What? That I met you in the woods while I wanted to kill some bunnies? No, I have not."

"And you will not, will you?"

"What are you worried about? I only saw you crying, Jesus! It's not a big deal!"

"You know what?" Rebekah said, pushing Caroline against a wall "Screw you."
