Disclaimer: I don't own the Vampire Diaries

A/N I was asked what Elouise looks like so I'll try and give you the best description possible. She has brown eyes, her hair is dyed a dark violet but naturally its a dark brown almost black, her skin is between a white and olive and she is about Elena's height.

Thanks to ddluzelle, winxgirl1997, Bronzelove, and Ritsikas for reviewing.

ddluzelle: I'm glad you're liking it makes my day lol. Part of the reason Caroline hates her you'll find out in this chapter. As for Elouise's real family well you will find out about them...as for her love interest I'm still deciding.

Bronzelove: Caroline will change later on in the story of course! As for Elena and Elouise their is something up with them, but they're not sisters.

Ritsikas: Caroline sometimes right lol and it does suck for Elouise. I wish somebody gave me an excuse to dress up I would take it in a heartbeat. Well Elouise has surprising strength lol I think Damon scares her more than she notices her looks.

Chapter 6

Lost Girls

"You think you believe in vampires?" Daniel repeats in disbelief his mind obviously tuning in to what I was saying.

"I know its crazy but I mean it's the only thing that makes sense," I admit, trying desperately to sort out my own thoughts.

"Right," Daniel says the sarcasm clear in his voice, "and who are the vampires?" I wasn't sure whether to continue now, it was obvious Daniel didn't believe and maybe I was wrong. My hand drifts over to the book Stefan gave me, and I think of all the crazy things that had happened again.

"Stefan and Damon Salvatore," I answer Daniel firmly.

Daniel makes a spluttering sound, "Damon maybe but I thought you said Stefan was like the nicest guy in the world," Daniel argues lightly.

"Well he could be a you know Twilight vampire," I mutter, I'll admit Stefan being a vampire didn't exactly make sense.

"Okay Elouise obviously you've been reading too much fiction, there is no such thing as vampires," Daniel tells me.

I sigh, there was no way I could convince him, "You're right, I have to go," I murmur putting down my phone. Every part of my body wanted to deny what I thought but I couldn't. The bite marks on Caroline, the very thought made me want to be sick.

As the sun washes in through my window the next morning, I know I need to figure out what to do. The internet however wasn't exactly reliable; you just become flooded with lots of fiction that I couldn't quite work through. I considered talking to Caroline about Damon but after our fight last night I doubted she really wanted to talk to me.

Which left me with one option, "Hey Elena, I really need to talk to you about something," I say as soon as she picks up the phone, refusing to let her get a word in.

"Elouise, I'm sorry but I have to go and see Stefan," Elena informs me sounding flustered.

"Don't," I say, before I can think about it. If I was right then, Stefan could be dangerous.

"Elouise, what's wrong?" Elena asks me cautiously.

"I just I think that, well, this is going to sound crazy but I think Stefan and Damon are vampires," I admit.

Elena goes quiet and I'm wondering what she's thinking, part of me believes she's going to call the psych team. "Elouise, that's crazy," she finally says, but her tone implies that she's nervous.

"Elena are you lying?" I question, I had pretty good instincts about whether people were lying.

Elena sighs, "Elouise," she starts, "I knew it, you agree with me," I interrupt her.

Elena takes a few seconds before replying, "I don't just agree I know its what I'm going to see Stefan about, but Elouise I'm scared," she admits and for the first time she sounds truly vulnerable. Everything overcomes me at once, Elena said she knew, which meant she had proof. Up until this point it had all been a possibility now, if vampires were real I didn't know what that meant.

"So I am," I breathe, "but Stefan's a good guy right?"

"He said he's never hurt me, he's says that all the animal attacks are Damon that he doesn't drink human blood," Elena informs me sounding tired.

I take in this knowledge slowly trying to work everything over in my head, "You should go meet him," I declare, "just because he's a vampire doesn't make him a monster."

"Right," Elena agrees hesitantly, "I'll tell you how it goes," she promises.

I place a gentle knock on Caroline's door. Ever since my call to Elena I couldn't stop thinking about the fact Damon could have killed my sister, in fact I was lucky she was still here.

"What?" Caroline's voice calls, sounding annoyed.

I walk through before I can back out, "I'm sorry," I say before she can put in something nasty, "I mean I don't know why you despise me being around you friends but I'm sorry anyway," I admit sincerely. Shifting nervously I wait for Caroline to answer but she doesn't even acknowledge me just continues flicking through her wardrobe.

I roll my eyes and begin to walk out before she stops me, "I'm sorry too," she says. Surprised I turn back around to face her. "I have enough competition with you at home, according to mum you're obviously the better daughter which is so unfair considering you're not actually her daughter," Caroline confesses to me in a shocking moment of actual truth.

I stare at her in shock unsure how to react, "I just wanted a friend, I mean a girl friend, Daniel's great but its not the same okay and Elena's really nice. In the end their your best friends they will always be," I tell her firmly, after all I knew it was the truth.

Caroline smiles the tiny moment of niceness gone, "I know," she says haughtily, "you can go now." I bite my lip to stop from screaming, rolling my eyes again I storm out forgetting the reason I had even gone in their in the first place. I leant against the wall holding my hands together, I wanted to tell Caroline about Damon she had a right to know he used her as a blood bag, but then again part of me wishes that I didn't know. The world had just become a very scary place.

To take the mind of the fact Elena still hadn't called was driving me mental, what if she had been hurt what if Stefan had killed her. I shook my head from that thought, Stefan wasn't a killer he really liked Elena there was no way but all the uncertainty was killing me. As the darkness came I was completely on edge and unable to think about anything at all, the sound of my phone ringing shocked me out of my haze.

"Elena," I say as soon as I answer it.

"Hey Elouise," Elena replies.

"You're okay," I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yeah," she hesitates for a second, "come over okay because this isn't exactly something I can say over the phone."

"So does Stefan know that I know?" I question Elena after she had finished given me the basics about Stefan, his story and Vicki.

Elena nods, "I said there was no way to talk you out of it and I was going to let him compel you so," Elena stops as Jeremy walks in pacing.

"He'll call when he finds her," Elena tells him.

"Well, what are we supposed to do?" he questions, the worry evident in his voice.

"We wait, we're supposed to wait," Elena says to him.

"I don't know what's wrong with her," Jeremy confesses and my heart goes out to him.

"She'll be fine," Elena promises and I wince because this was never going to be fine. The doorbell rings and Elena jumps up to answer it happy for the distraction, Jeremy follows her and the next thing I hear is her telling him to go upstairs. Instantly I know something's wrong, quietly I make my way over there.

"Stay away from me," Elena orders someone and I know who it is without thought, Damon. Anger instantly overcomes me, before fear quickly follows it. However I know that I can't leave Elena alone against Damon so against my better judgement, I stand beside her. Damon smirks when he sees causing my anger to boil up again.

"I'm just looking for Stefan. May I come in?" he asks pausing before he smirks gets bigger, "of course I can, I've been invited in," he says stepping across the threshold my heart beat speeds up. "We can cut to the chase if you want, I'm not going to kill either of you right now. That wouldn't serve my greater agenda, so where's Stefan."

"Looking for Vicki," Elena informs him, the judgement clear in her voice.

"Do you want to say something about that?" I hiss, my anger overcoming my fear for a few seconds. Damon takes a step towards me causing me to jump back, Damon grins at my reaction.

"Like I said not going to kill you, and you can both stop being so judgy, that girl is going to thank me for what I did," he says to us.

"Did you thank Katherine?" Elena questions him.

"Got the whole life story did you?" Damon asks turning to face her.

"I got enough," Elena snaps.

"Oh I doubt that, tell my brother I'm looking for him and tip for later you two should be careful who you invite him and who you allow to be invited in," Damon says before leaving. As soon as he's gone, I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay?" Elena asks me concerned.

I nod, "But for how long?" I question voicing my thoughts.

"Stefan will protect us," she promises me.

"I know but Elena I don't want to have to be protected, I don't want this," I confess, afraid of everything I had learnt. I shake my head, trying to turn off the whirlwind of thoughts, I had a major headache and I just wanted to go back to the start and stop all of this from happening. "Tell Stefan I won't tell anyone, but I can't be okay with this I mean who can?"

I curl up in bed holding onto the teddy I use to have as a child. I felt numb but part of me believed that it was all a horrible dream and I'd wake up and brag to Daniel about how awesome it was. Everything was awesome when you weren't living it, but when it was you reality it couldn't be worse.

"Hey honey, what's wrong," mum asks as she comes into see me.

I look at her my eyes glistening, "I don't know, I'm not okay but I'm going to be," I say to her.

Mum pulls me into a hug her worry infecting me and just like the tears come in, in mountains and floods and I just can't stop.

I'm sorry if the chapter so small but it was hard and I'm sorry if its a bit bad just not a good writing day...
