Previously on The Vampire Diaries...
Jeremy and Vicki got together.
Christina got jealous.
Zach died.
Christina needs new teachers at her school.
Bonnie set a car on fire with her mind.
Damon broke free and kidnapped Christina.
Stefan was in battle mode to rescue Christina, but Elena had to ruin it by saying this...
"What are you? What are you?" Elena asked Stefan as he stood there quietly.
He did not expect his day to turn out this way at all. It's not like he woke up this morning knowing that some weird shit would go down for him. Nope. Not at all. There were no signs this morning, unless he missed something.
"You know." He stated.
"No, I don't." Elena said in denial shaking her head. Her heart was pumping so fast out of her chest like crazy at what her boyfriend could possibly be.
"Yes, you do, or you wouldn't be here." Stefan informed her.
"It's not possible. It can't be." Elena said, trying to stay in denial land as long as possible.
"Everything you know... And every belief that you have is about to change. Are you ready for that?" Stefan warned her.
"What are you?" Elena asked once more, holding her stake ready for some unknown reason, just in case.
"I'm a vampire." Stefan admitted.
They stood quiet before each other.
Well... this went well... Stefan thought slowly, until Elena started shaking her head.
"I shouldn't have come." She muttered out retreating away. Stefan's breath hitched slightly and he quickly went over to her to try to make her understand. "No. Please." He started out. Elena tries running away, but Stefan appears in front of her in every corner she runs to. "No. No. How do you do that?" Elena asked him curiously for a split second, despite being afraid of him.
"Please don't be afraid of me." Stefan tried to get her to calm down and listen.
"Let me go." Elena said out loud. "No. Elena, there's things you need to know and understand." Stefan tried to tell her. "Let me go!" Elena demanded, quickly slipping past him and sprinting for her car.
"Elena, please." Stefan sighed as she got in, made the engine roar and drove out of the drive way. While she was driving away, Stefan followed her close behind by speed. Once she got in the house, he came through the window so she wouldn't make a scene downstairs in front of her aunt or brother.
When Elena sees him, she quickly retreats to leave her room, but Stefan speeds over and slams the door shut to keep her in the room. Elena faced the wall and had no choice but to turn around and look back at Stefan.
"Elena. I would never hurt you. You're safe with me." Stefan informed her.
"All those animal attacks, those people who died-" Elena started out with a horrified look in her eye that she may have been dating a serial killer this entire time. And the fact he was also a vampire was just icing on the cake.
"No. That was Damon!" Stefan told Elena correctly.
"Damon?" Elena asked out.
"Yes. I don't drink human blood. That's not how I choose to survive, but Damon does! I'll explain everything to you , but I beg you Elena, do not tell anyone." Stefan pleaded her, slightly.
"How can you ask me that?" Elena asked him.
"Because you knowing this is dangerous for so many reasons. You can hate me, but I need you to trust me." Stefan begged her to understand how difficult and dangerous this situation really was.
"Just go. Just go, please. Go. If you mean me no harm, then you'll go!" Elena asked him to leave. Stefan sighed slightly, seeing there was nothing else he could do but leave her to decide what to do in the morning. Either give him a chance or tell everyone what he really is.
"I never wanted this." Stefan stated to himself, before quickly leaving the room the same way he came in. After he left, Elena quickly ran over to the window and locked it up shut in case Stefan came back, before starting to sob on her bed.
Stefan stood a good distance in front of the Gilbert household to guard and protect Elena and the rest of her family members that were within the house from Damon, in case he was going to break in that night to make a snack out of them, he would be there to stop him.
While he stood outside he dialed Damon at least 5 times. Finally he picked up on the 6th dial.
"Where's my ring?" Damon went straight to business.
"Put Christina on the phone." Stefan said as straightforward as possible.
"Not unless you have my ring." Damon stated.
"Just put her on the phone, Damon. I need to talk to her." Stefan told Damon, not in the mood to put up with his cocky attitude.
"Fine, but you'll be wasting your time. You could have used it on more important things, like finding my ring!" Damon stated. Stefan stood quiet waiting for Christina to be put on the phone. Damon sighed and rolled his eyes, before going over to the stoner pit stairway, where Christina laid passed out. Damon nudged her slightly to wake up. Apparently, she was awake. She was just too scared to move and pretended to be passed out so Damon couldn't feed on her again. Damon grinned slightly.
What an actress this kid was.
Soon Christina stirred up, despite already being awake and Damon forced her to sit up and lay her back against a tree for support, before handing her his phone. "Remember, I can hear every word you'll say to him. Make it snappy." Damon stated, before going back for the dead stoner kid bodies to burn. Christina watched in horror as Damon was practically burning some of her friends alive. Sure they weren't Vicki or Jeremy, but Christina did have a soft spot for most of the stoners. Now... they were just dead.
"H-Hello?" Christina asked out, her hands were shaking and her voice was croaking slightly.
"Christina! Hey, it's me. How are you folding up?" Stefan asked her.
"Dad, please! I want to go home! He's going to kill me, Dad! He's going to kill me." Christina whispered out in a voice that insured she had been crying a bit earlier.
"I'm not going to let that happen. It's just... something came up. I promise I will make that deal with Damon, I just need to clear something that just came off by tomorrow morning. I promise, it won't take longer than 20 minutes top." Stefan informed his daughter.
"I don't know if I have any time! What if he kills me before then?!" Christina asked rhetorically.
"He won't. He gave me less than 24 hours. If he kills you before than then the deal will be off. Until then, you're safe. All he can do it hurt you and... What has he done so far?" Stefan asked her, feeling his blood boil at the thought of Damon hurting Christina. Sure she wasn't dead and she would heal, but the thought of Damon even considering laying a hand on Christina in such a painful way just made him feel mad to the core, despite the fact Damon could be feeding her his blood to quickly heal her wounds completely.
"I don't think you want to know." Christina said quietly.
"Christina, honey, please tell me what's going on. Please." Stefan told her to try and open up to him.
"He already fed on me twice. He's burning a few of my friends in front of me. And he constantly knocks me out, to the point where I have to pretend I'm sleeping or already passed out in case he'd want to hurt be again." Christina admitted to Stefan.
Dammit, Damon! Stefan yelled in his head as he gritted his teeth as what his daughter had to endure tonight.
"Look, Christina, everything's going to be okay. I'm going to get Damon's ring back, he'll give you back to me and everything will be okay. I promise." Stefan continued to insure his daughter.
"Dad, I'm scared." Christina whispered out, as she stared at Damon who stood next to the roaring fire of dead children bodies.
"Don't be. If there's one thing I've told you, it's not to be afraid. If you're afraid he'll use that against you. Just... Just hold on a little more. I'll get you after I get Damon back his ring, okay?" Stefan reminded her.
Christina nodded slightly, hoping deep down her father could keep his word and complete the task.
"Okay." Christina let out.
"Good." Stefan sighed in relief. Soon Damon walked up and took the phone away from Christina.
"Alright, times up. And do I really need to remind you to get my ring again?" Damon asked a bit annoyed. He was having an off day being locked up in a cellar for practically 4 days straight. Who could blame him for being a bit moody?
"I'm on it." Stefan stated, before hanging up the phone. Damon hanged up as well and smirked in Christina's direction. "What?" She asked him why he was looking at her for. "Seems like you and I have some catching up to do, shorty. So tell me, what have I missed during the 15 years of your life?" Damon teased slightly, causing Christina to roll her eyes. "Like you care." Christina muttered out bitterly. "I'm your uncle." Damon declared.
"And you left me when I was a baby!" Christina reminded him.
"So? You were a bitch. I bet you would have left too if you met the baby version of yourself." Damon stated. Christina sighed slightly trying to hold back a groan.
She could already tell the rest of the night and the rest of tomorrow board daylight would be horrible, considering she had no choice but to spend quality time with her 'uncle' unwillingly until he killed her some time in the end if Stefan didn't come through.
The next day came and it was morning. Stefan had got a text from Elena to meet her up at a coffee shop. He agreed seeing it would be his chance to explain everything to her. And when he means everything.. he means everything.
"You said you would explain everything. That's why I asked you to meet me here. When you google "vampire", you get a world of fiction. What's the reality?" Elena asked him, as they both sat down to talk outdoors.
"I can tell you whatever you wanna know." Stefan informed her.
"I know you eat garlic." Elena stated.
"Yes." Stefan agreed. Vampires could eat garlic with no problem. It just tastes different to them than it would taste to a regular human being, but over all no vampires had problems in that department, unless they were allergic, perhaps?
"And somehow, sunlight's not an issue." Elena stated. They paused briefly when their waitress came over to give Elena some coffee and Stefan some water before leaving.
"We have rings that protect us." Stefan stated.
"Crucifixes?" Elena asked.
"Decorative." Stefan answered.
"Holy water?" Elena asked.
"Drinkable." Stefan answered.
"Mirrors?" Elena asked.
"Myth." Stefan answered.
"You said you don't kill to survive." Elena stated.
"Animal blood keeps me alive, but not as strong as Damon. He can be very powerful." Stefan informed her.
"And yet you let him get involved with Caroline?" Elena asked in disbelief.
"Forcing Damon to not do something is much more dangerous, believe me." Stefan told her with experience.
"He was hurting her!" Elena stated as if that should matter.
"He was feeding on her. He was able to take away her memories of being bitten using a form of mind compulsion. She never knew what was happening to her. If he wanted to kill her, he would have." Stefan stated.
"Is that suppose to make it okay?" Elena asked rhetorically not seeing how that should make it seem okay to hurt Caroline.
"No. No, none of this is okay, Elena. I know that." Stefan stated to her.
"Are there any others, aside from you and Damon?" Elena asked him.
"Not in Mystic Falls; not anymore." Stefan stated.
"Not anymore?" Elena asked getting confused.
"There was a time when this town was... very much aware of vampires, and it didn't end well for anybody. That's why it's important that you don't tell anyone." Stefan informed her of the consequences once again.
"I can't promise that." Elena stated.
"Elena... Give me today. I will answer any questions that you have, and when it's over, you can decide for yourself what you wanna do with what you know. It'll be your choice." Stefan told her. Elena sighed slightly thinking it over. While she was thinking, Stefan was thinking of how much time he had left. He had enough time to gt the ring for sure, but he didn't know how long he had left to save Christina in case Damon gets bored and decides to hurt her again.
"Where are you, Stefan? I'm trapped in the house, and I'm getting really bored and really impatient, ad I don't do bored and impatient. Bring me my ring. Damn it." Damon left a voice mail to Stefan, before hanging up. Vicki Donovan and Christina were both passed out on the couch. Christina wasn't acting this time. She just got tired and fell asleep. While she slept, Damon carried them both back to the house before daylight broke.
Luckily, Stefan wasn't home.
"Aw, don't get blood on the couch! Please? I got you good, didn't I?" Damon stated, while he walked past Vicki's unconscious bleeding form. She made no response and Damon rolled her eyes slightly. "Well, you're not gonna be any fun today. I'm so gonna regret this. Drink up. Drink it up. Don't drip. There you go. Good girl. That's it." Damon stated as he went over to feed Vicki his blood. Once she seemed to be healing, Damon pulled away in time to notice Christina stirring up in her sleep again. She rubbed her eyes and turned to look over at Damon. She blinked a few times keeping her eyes locked on him, until she flinched.
She had forgotten she was still with Damon.
Why couldn't that have been a nightmare dream? Why? Christina whined to herself, seeing she was still stuck with Damon.
"Well, good morning, my little ray of sunshine." Damon started out sarcastically. Christina yawned slightly and rolled her eyes, until they landed on Vicki. Christina's eyes widened in horror.
"Vicki! Oh, my god. Vicki!" Christina exclaimed, before jumping off the arm-chair and running towards Vicki's side on the couch. "Oh god, oh god. Vicki, no!" Christina started out her eyes tearing up. She never wanted this to happen. Not to Vicki. No.
"Relax, she's just out of it. She'll come to eventually." Damon informed her. Christina sighed in relief but glared over at Damon for still hurting her friend. Damon rolled his head to the side slightly looking back at her. "Oh, don't give me those judgy eyes. I didn't kill her." Damon stated.
"She's my friend." Christina informed him.
"So?" Damon asked wondering what was the big deal.
Christina glared at him more, before narrowing her eyes at him. "I hate you." She muttered to herself.
"Well, you're no cherry on the top either." Damon stated. Christina sighed and went back to the arm-chair to rest, while still looking over at Vicki to insure her friend was still okay. "I'm hungry." Christina started out.
Damon stood quiet and looked back at her in confusion and slight irritation.
"Why are you looking at me for? You know where the kitchen is." Damon stated.
"Aren't I suppose to be your hostage?" Christina asked rhetorically.
"So? That doesn't mean I'm suppose to feed you. Go fix yourself a snack. Or... maybe you can give me one." Damon stated, eyeing her slightly with a smirk. Christina rolled her eyes, before leaving the living room for the kitchen to get something to eat. Damon scoffed slightly.
Since when did this kid become so needy?
Sure she was needy before, but she was more of a freeloader if anything.
Damon never understood why Stefan easily accepted her into the Salvatore family.
If it were up to him, he would have let her die 15 years ago.
But... he had to admit, she was kinda cute in her own weird way. And in a twisted way, he did actually like spending time with her, despite her acting like a complete bitch towards him. Damon shook his head slightly. Those days were over. They were long over the minute he stepped foot out of her life. Damon needed to keep his eye on the prize and that prize was Katherine. Not trying to make things okay with Christina. Katherine.
Because the only thing he truly cared about the most, that made him abandon Christina in the first place, was Katherine.
"Stop here." Stefan instructed Elena, while they were in her car and she was driving.
"What are we doing here?" Elena asked Stefan in confusion of parking near ruins.
"I want to show you something." He said, once they got out of the car. "In the middle of nowhere?" Elena stated in confusion and disbelief. "This... Didn't use to be nowhere. Used to be my home." Stefan stated. Being there again brought up a few brief memories. He also remember bringing Christina here one time when she was new to the whole vampire idea. She once said that she hoped the house could be restored so they could live there one day. Stefan thought it was unlikely to happen, but he liked where her idea was at. All she had ever wanted was a home.
A permanent home.
Stefan sighed slightly at that thought, before turning his thoughts away towards Elena.
"It looks so..." Elena started.
"Old? It's because they are." Stefan told her.
"Wait. How long have you..." Elena started to ask out.
"I've been 17 since 1864." Stefan admitted to her.
"Oh, my god." Elena started out. "Oh my god?" The second Stefan told Christina that she practically fainted. No joke.
"You said you wanted to know. I'm not gonna hold anything back. Half a century before the boarding house was even built, this was my family's home. Damon and I... We were both born here. The Salvatore brothers, best friends." Stefan quoted out.
He soon started out and explained to Elena everything that happened with the Katherine situation and how they both loved her and she compelled their love. Once that was out of the way, he went over and pulled Damon's daylight ring that he needed out.
"Is that Damon's ring?" Elena asked him.
"I took it from him, but I have to give it back." Stefan told her. "No, don't, Stefan. Keep it hidden." She told him. Stefan shook his head. "Elena, if I don't give it to him, he'll retaliate in the only way he knows he can hurt me." Stefan informed her. "And how is that?" Elena asked him.
"By hurting Christina." Stefan told her without hesitation. Elena looked at him surprised but also confused. "But...how can he hurt Christina? She's his sister... can't she fight him back?" Elena stated. "She can't fight back, Elena. She's human." Stefan told her. "Wha-? How can she be your sister, be human, live for over a century, and look like she's in her early teens?!" Elena asked in shock on how that was even possible. Stefan shook his head slightly. "Look, she's not really my sister. She- Elena, I promise I'll explain that later. Right now, I have to give Damon his ring back before he kills her. You're going to have to trust me on that." Stefan told her.
Elena nodded slightly, but soon asked, "The mind control... You said Katherine used. Do you ever do that to me?"
"No. That necklace, it contains an herb called vervain. It protects you from being compelled. I wanted to protect you from Damon's influence. But I also wanted to... Protect you from me. Elena, you should never take that off... Because no matter what happens after today, no matter how you feel about me... You'll know you were free to make your own choice." Stefan informed Elena, before leaving the ruins for her to think over everything Stefan had told her and what her final decision would be.
Oh my god somebody please kill me right now... Christina thought in her head on repeat as she saw her friend Vicki was alive and well, but was getting compelled by Damon. Now they were dancing around half-dressed, while Christina sat down in the arm-chair in watched in disgust. There was nothing she could do. For one thing, Damon would either kill her, hurt her again, or just compel her so... she didn't really have any options other than allow him to use her friend like a mindless puppet.
She hated how her life was turning out. She really did. All she felt like doing was to crawl in a whole and die on her own, without the constant help of Damon. He was already feeding on both Vicki and Christina. With Vicki came compulsion, but with Christina it was more or less willingly, since she had no choice. Rather allow him to bit off her wrist then to have him force the blood out of her through her neck. And even though Damon was feeding her a little bit of blood, she still felt weak and tired. She assumed it was from constant blood lost and decided to eat and drink more to balance out the dizziness she was feeling, but she still felt light-headed nonetheless.
Once Damon and Vicki got upstairs, Christina attempted to follow them close behind so she could keep a close eye on her friend and make sure she was okay.
Once Christina followed them up to Damon's room, she practically collapsed and laid on the bed huffing and puffing slowly.
God, I hate my life... She whined at how things have went so wrong for her so fast. Now she could barely stand without feeling light-headed and dizzy. She turned her head to see Vicki and Damon were slow dancing. Christina rolled her eyes at these two as they were having a moment.
"My Mom spends most of her time in Virginia Beach with Pete. He drives trucks. I don't remember my dad, but from what I gather, he's not worth remembering." Vicki told Damon, as if he were her therapist.
"Your life is so pathetic." Damon stated without a doubt. What an ass.. Christina couldn't help but think. Her friend wasn't pathetic, she just had a hard life. Maybe that's why Vicki and her were best friends. Both their real parents were disappointments to them. Sure, Christina had Stefan, but Vicki had no one else but her brother Matt. It was just them against the world pretty much, with the few people who still cared about them.
"Yeah. I mean, I'm the screwed-up one. Matt's got it so easy. He's the golden boy. I mean, he's gonna get a football scholarship and marry Elena and have a lawn mower and some babies, and when I think of my future, it just come up blank." Vicki stated. It was pretty sad how similar Christina and Vicki were. Sure, Christina's still young and has plenty of time to decide where she wants to go in life, but over all.. she doesn't really have a clue. She knows she'll graduate, go to college, perhaps maybe get a good job... but thinking ahead like have a family, how her dad would be involved and the fact he would live forever and she won't, well... she just didn't want to think about that. At least not right now.
"You are so damaged." Damon stated. "And you are not helping." Christina sarcastically muttered.
"Yep." Vicki still agreed.
"I mean, you don't have one hint of self-esteem." Damon started out.
"Nope, none." Vicki stated. Why did Christina have a feeling a trap was being set up for her friend?
"I think I know what can help you." Damon stated. Where was he going with this?
"So what's that?" Vicki asked curious.
"Death." Damon said as he stopped dancing with Vicki and spontaneously snapped her neck. Christina quickly shot up from the bed in shock and went over to Vicki shaking he lifeless body in disbelief.
"You killed her!" She shouted out.
"Relax, she'll come back." Damon stated.
"As a vampire?! A freaking vampire?! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Christina yelled out, her heart feeling broken and her head being in pain. Damon stood by watching her teared up form. Christina soon left Vicki's side and ran up to Damon, hitting his chest repeatedly in frustration. Damon didn't move and inch nor flinched as Christina's fist were curled up and pummeling against his chest.
"I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you! So much! I hate you so much! Let me go! Let me goawh!" Christina yelled out as she punched his chest, until Damon pulled her crying form close to him to the point of suffocating her as she struggled to move away from him.
"Shh, shh, shh. It's all right. It's all right." Damon told her once he popped something behind her causing her to collapse unconsciously and black out.
Christina was still passed out and her head laid near Damon's lap as he sat down on the living room couch. Vicki was on the arm-chair and sprung up expectedly.
"What happened? We were dancing, and then-" Vicki started out but Damon had beat her to it. "Then I killed you." Damon told her. "What?" Vicki asked him. "You're dead." Damon informed her. "I'm dead?" Vicki said to herself.
"Yeah, well, let's not make a big deal out of it. You drank my blood, I killed you, now you have to feed in order to complete the process." Damon instructed her briefly.
"You're wasted." Vicki stated without a doubt.
"You don't want to be there all alone. You're about to get really freaky." Damon warned her. "Okay, I had a really good time. I just wanna go home." Vicki stated, ready to leave the place. "You're gonna start craving blood, and until you get it, you're gonna feel very out of it. You have to be careful." Damon told her.
"Come on, move." Vicki said, trying to pass him. "See? You're already starting to fall apart." Damon teased. "And I'm going home." Vicki said, ignoring all his warnings completely. "Okay, fine. I'm just warning you. Actually, you know what? You should go. In fact, if I were you, I would stop by your boyfriend Jeremy's house." Damon stated. Better to kill two birds with one stone then...
"Yeah, whatever." Vicki shrugged, before leaving.
"Bye. Tell Elena I said hi. And if you see Stefan, tell him to call me." Damon shouted to Vicki once she stepped out. He smirked slightly and soon looked down to find Christina still knocked out to the point it seemed like she was almost sleeping. Seeing she sleeping form reminded him the days she sleep for hours and never bugged him much do to always sleeping sometimes. Ah, those were the days!
"Damon! Damon! Damon!" Stefan yelled up for him in the middle of the night. He was sleeping downstairs and had to speed all the way upstairs to find Stefan in his room on his doorway, in his drawers and t shirt.
"What?!" Damon hissed, hating being woken up in 2 in the morning. "Christina's acting up again." Stefan stated. "Well, you deal with it. I'm done. I want to sleep!" Damon nearly whined. "We made a schedule, Damon. Tonight the schedule has a D on it for Damon. Now get to work. Next week, I'll handle it, okay?" Stefan informed me. "How do I know, you're not making me do the work because you've gotten lazy?" Damon smirked cockily. Sure enough, Stefan pulled aside a small note pad with a miniature replica of their schedule of taking care of Christina.
Damon let out a puff in disbelief, before storming towards the kid's room as Stefan yawned and went back to bed. "Shut up already! Will you please shut up!" Damon whined as the baby kept crying. Damon picked her up and she was still crying. Even harder now that he was holding her. "What is your problem?!" Damon wondered, why the kid hated him so much. Sure he was a vampire, but it was like the baby just genuinely hated him for some unknown reason. Damon rolled his eyes and brought the kid close to him letting her slightly rest on his shoulder as he patted her gently. She started to cry less to his surprise. When he pulled away from the girl, he caught her messing with his hair.
"Ow, ow, Ow! Let go!" Damon stated, but she took pleasure pulling at his hair and giggled a bit. Soon Damon detangled his hair away from her little hands and placed her back in her crib. Her arms stretched out to touch Damon's hair, but she couldn't reach it. Before she could possibly start crying again, Damon quickly sped out of the room went down to his own room and sped back in Christina's room to give her his leather jacket. She clutched a part of it in her fist tightly. Damon made sure it rested on her like a blanket before watching her dose off. She may have hated him, but she did like his sense of style. Damon chuckled slightly at how oddly cute she looked.
Damon's jacket score one. Christina's baby blanket she had sense they first found her score zero.
Damon soon left and went back to his room to sleep. And the rest of the night was full of peace and quiet.
Damon shook his head slightly.
Why on EARTH was he thinking about that for?! Christina nearly ruined his life and he's thinking about how cute she may have been as a baby? What?! This was all the more reasons why he needed to kill Christina. Maybe he can do it early, since Stefan was slowly running out of time.
He looked down at Christina one more time and suddenly something happened.
He didn't know how it happened, but it did.
Guilt.
He was suddenly feeling guilt towards Christina. No, it had nothing to do with killing her. He would gladly do it, but he felt a nagging voice in his head about abandoning her 15 years ago. He didn't really have a good reason to, he just did. He didn't want Christina to hold him back and he didn't want to grow attached to her either. He needed to move on and go on with his plan to open the tomb and get Katherine back. He didn't have time to place babysitter with his brother to some orphan. Besides, Damon is known for losing his friends and people he care about. Granted, Stefan's still here, but for how long? Plus in a way he did lose his brother a long time ago... even more when he left him with Christina. But he didn't want to lose the kid either. He knew one way or another, he'd grow attached somehow, so he took his chances and left before anything could happen. He made himself hate the baby as much as possible. He made sure he wasn't around her much and strained himself as far away from her as a baby as possible.
All because he was afraid he'd lose her in the end. That when the day comes where she'll grow older and die, she would have already snuck under his skin, causing him to probably go into depression while Stefan goes into potential ripper mode for the lost of his own daughter and Damon's niece.
Damon sighed slightly, as he moved himself away from Christina and lied her down like the princesses in Disney usually are lying on their backs with their arms crossed. All Christina needed was to be in a chamber, a white dress and a rose and she might as well have been Snow White herself. Minus the annoying voice of course.
Looking at her one last time, Damon shook his head before speeding out of the boarding house while it was dark out in disbelief, that after all these years, she still had a hold on him that would prevent him from killing her.
"Christina! Christina, wake up! Wake up, please. Christina!" Stefan shouted out as he shook his daughter a bit to wake her up. Eventually after a minute, Christina soon awoken from her long slumber.
"Wha-? Uh.. Dad? Dad!?" Christina started out in shock to see he was finally here. "Christina! Oh, thank god, you're okay! You're okay." Stefan started out, hugging his daughter as she hugged him back tightly. Even though she didn't want to let him go for fear this was all a hallucination, she had to let him out of her grasp. Stefan cupped her face to look into her eyes deeply.
"Dad, I'm okay." Christina stated.
"I know I just... I know." Stefan sighed in relief once he found what he was looking for. She's still human...
"Dad, I.. I didn't think you'd make it. What happened? Where's Damon?" Christina asked him.
"I don't know. He just left. I don't know where he is now. You seemed to have been out for a long while, even when I got here you weren't even breathing." Stefan informed her. Christina nodded slightly. "Oh my god... is Vicki..?" Christina asked him.
"No, she's okay. She, uh, she completed her transition though." Stefan informed her.
"Oh my god. Where is she?" Christina asked him. "We don't know. She left right after and... I promise we'll find her." Stefan told her. We?
"So, you're gonna go out again?" Christina wondered. "Yeah, I have to find Vicki. You stay here, lock all the doors and windows. I'll come back myself since I have the other key to the house." Stefan informed her. He really didn't feel comfortable leaving Christina by herself again, but he knew he had to find Vicki and help her before she ended up killing someone tonight.
"Okay. But Dad.." Christina nodded understanding, but started out, before Stefan could leave. "Yeah?" Stefan asked her. "Don't forget to do the dishes. It was your turn, remember?" Christina reminded him. Stefan thought it over, realizing she did tell him to do the dishes, but he didn't do it because his daughter getting kidnapped and his girlfriend finding out he was a vampire became his top priorities that day.
Stefan smiled slightly with a soft chuckle. "Don't worry. I'll do it, once I find Vicki." Stefan stated, before planting a soft kiss on Christina's forehead and speeding out of the house. Christina grinned slightly and sighed, before getting up to unlock all the doors and windows for the night.
A/N: Boy, what a busy day! Hope you enjoy the new chapter.
