Season One
The Turning Point
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Vampire Diaries Characters, except for Grace, her family and her home :)
Continuing outside of the Gilbert house Jenna stood there watching Logan, she thought he had left and dumber her with an email, but here he was on her doorstep.
"Why are you here, Logan?" Jenna asked through clenched teeth
"I missed you." He smiled nicely at her "I was out of town."
"Yeah, I got the email." She replied with a look that was angry yet still confused to see him standing there on her front porch
"You got that email?" Logan questioned confused
"You didn't send an email?" Jenna looked at him
"I can explain, just invite me in and I'll tell you everything." Logan tried to get into the house but was stopped
"I'm not going to invite you in, forget it." She held onto the door about to slam it in his incredibly cute face
Logan tried to stay calm with the woman "c'mon, Jenna, it's me."
"The answer is no." She made a final discussion, she had Alaric now anyway
"I know you." He smirked "You're always one step from a 'maybe' or a tiny nudge to 'yes'." His eyes flickered with hunger as he teased their passed relationships and get togethers
"You just pointed out that I have no self-control." She informed him with a laugh "clever strategy." She told him sarcastically before slamming the door in his smirk face
He let out a heavy sigh before walking down from the porch out onto the side walk, a woman was running past him when she stopped and looked at him with a smile on her face, she pulled her ear phones out
"Hey, you're that guy from the news, Logan Fell." She remembered "I watch you every night, I mean, well I used to recently you've been missing from my T.V." She told him with innocent humour lighting up her eyes
"I took some time off." Logan lied smoothly
"I noticed." She replied with a smile "I'm Daphne." She introduced herself holding her hand out
He gripped her hand tightly as they shook hands "Hey, you know something, Daphne?" Logan questioned
"No, what?" She tilted her head to the side in confusion, but this just gave him better access
He pulled her close, dark veins appearing around his eyes, and his fangs clicking down, he tore into her thin neck draining her dry as she screamed
Jeremy was continuing to read through his ancestors Jonathon Gilbert's diary he found it so fascinating looking at the pictures his ancestor drew of these monsters that allegedly once plagued the town of Mystic Falls, looking at all these pictures made him want to draw again, so he grabbed his box of drawing equipment and got to it
Grace was looking through the mirror as she stood in the bathroom brushing her hair into it's right places, she quickly motioned Elena to come over and watch her brother draw, he didn't seem to notice them standing there
"Jeremy's got his sketch pad out." Elena informed Jenna when both girls reached the bottom of the stairs
"You're kidding." Jenna was totally surprised
"nope." Elena grinned "but don't say a word, the minute we encourage him he'll put it away."
"Psychology major." Jenna pointed to herself smirking "check that."
Grace was sat on the back of the couch checking her messages, Elena had told Jenna what happened with Damon, but didn't go into great detail about Vampires or any of the Supernatural stuff
"Grace, I'm sorry about you and that guy..." Jenna told her patting her knee "He wasn't worth a minute of your time."
"Thanks." She half smiled "I really thought that we had something, but I guess he was just buying his time until he really got the girl he wanted."
"I'm sure it wasn't like that." Jenna placed her arm around her shoulders
They both looked up to see Elena then checking her phone for any messages from Stefan, still she hadn't heard anything from him since he told her he was leaving and they couldn't be together
"You and Stefan?" Jenna looked at her still sitting with Grace "Update?"
"He knows how I feel and where I stand and I know where he stand but it doesn't matter, he's leaving, moving away." Elena informed her Aunt
"Where is he going?" Jenna questioned
"I stopped asking questions, the answers her scary." Elena glanced at Grace who gave her a lopsided smile "Ready?"
"I'll be out in a second." Grace replied grabbing her shoes
The three women left the house Elena shutting the door behind them, Jenna turned to them
"Yours leaves, mine returns." Jenna informed them in a flat tone
"Logan?" Elena questioned
"He's back, and I didn't even let him past the front door." Jenna grinned proudly
"I hope you slammed it in his face." Elena told Jenna
"Medium slam." She wasn't so proud of that
"Three strike rule, Jenna, you're not even aloud to watch the news." Elena warned
"exactly, no more Logan Scumfell." Jenna grinned, she saw Grace come out the door to the house shutting it behind her "have a good day."
Stefan walked into the large living room area of the Salvatore Boarding House to see Damon looking through the large window out into the bright back yard
"Any idea of where you'll go?" Stefan questioned his older brother
"London, maybe." He shrugged "See some friends."
"You don't have any friends, Damon." Stefan replied bluntly, after all it was Damon's fault they both had to leave
"You're right, Stefan, I only have you..." He turned to look at his younger brother "So where are we going?"
"we are not going anywhere." Stefan made his point clear "I'm going to live my life as far away from you as possible."
"But we're a team." Damon announced with a smirk playing on his lips "we could travel the world together, we could try out for 'The Amazing Race'." Damon joked
"mmm, that's funny." Stefan's voice was thick with sarcasm "Seriously where are you going because we're not staying in this town."
Just as Stefan finished his sentence the door bell rang, both of them looked towards it, but it was Stefan who opened it and saw Sheriff Forbes standing there
"I'm here to see, Damon." She informed him
Damon appeared next to his brother "Sheriff." he greeted her "What a surprise."
"Sorry to bother you, but we need to talk." She gave him a secretive look
"Come in." Damon lead her through the house into the back yard so Stefan could hear "I hope you understand the secrecy, Stefan doesn't know about this yet, and I'd like to keep it that way."
"Of course, the kids are too young to be brought into this." Sheriff Forbes agreed
"So what do you need?" Damon questioned
"There's been another attack." Sheriff started before adding "A female victim, throat tore out, completely drained of blood. It fits same pattern." She explained
"I'm sorry, I don't understand." Damon creased his eye brows "I thought we solved that problem when... I staked the blonde one." Damon referred to Lexi in a low voice
"I think she must have turned someone, a multiple someone. I don't know." the Sheriff admitted "The story for the town is another animal attack but I'm not sure how long we can keep lying to them... the council's in a uproar, we thought we were past this..."
"So what do we do?" Damon asked
"You're the only one who's taken on a Vampire, we were hoping you could tell us..." She admitted timidly
Meanwhile, the school were getting ready for their annual career night, where the students would show off their work for art or other subjects and local workers would come in and talk about their jobs trying to help the students decide for the future
Caroline and Matt were walking down one of the crowded hallways, they were talking about their night sleeping in the same bed the night before when they watched a movie
"And then the ballet dancer and the Krumper do the salsa." Matt tried to remember when Caroline fell asleep during the movie they were watching last night
"Oh, I was awake for that part." Caroline remember
"I don't know when you fell asleep." Matt laughed "Hmm, did you see the Celine Dion waltz about Cancer?" Matt questioned
"Those always make me cry!" Caroline replied
"Yeah and then that judge was screaming... and I couldn't take it so I turned it off." Matt admitted with a laugh
"I watch 'Family Guy' so you owe me." She teased playfully before they walked away
Elena and Grace had been watching from down the hall when Bonnie joined them feeling back to her normal self almost
"Did I miss something?" Grace questioned watching them flirt
"They've been hanging out." Bonnie replied
"Kind of weird, don't you think?" Elena questioned
"She needs someone like nice like him, opposed to a homicidal Vampire like Damon." Bonnie lowered her voice before catching Grace's facial expression "Oh, Grace, I'm so sorry, I forgot."
"I don't know why everyone keeps apologising for him, he used me and I'm over it." Grace stated trying to keep her cool but completely lying
"How are you doing with all that?" Elena questioned Bonnie who had been newly introduced into the world of Vampires
"I'm freaked out." Bonnie admitted "Damon attacked me and I could be dead right now, but I'm grateful to... Stefan."
"hmm." Elena looked at her
"He saved my life..." They stopped at Elena's locker she opened "Have you seen him?"
"Not since he told me he was leaving." Elena replied placing her book bag inside "for all I know he's already gone..."
"He wouldn't leave without saying goodbye." Bonnie attempted to assure her
"Yes he would." Elena argued "He thinks he's protecting me, a clean break and all that."
"So what are you going to do?" Bonnie questioned
"What am I suppose to do? I already begged him not to go, if I ask again I'm being... selfish, it is what it is." Elena replied to her witch friend
"well maybe it's for the best." Bonnie looked at both of the brunettes "For both of you."
"What do you mean?" Elena asked
"What kind of future would you have had with them? Being manipulated everyday into feeding him your blood." Bonnie hissed at the telepath
"You really don't know what you're talking about." Grace's eyes were intense with anger
"Don't I? I saw what he did to Caroline, you were next Grace, don't try and act like it was anything different." Bonnie told her bluntly
"Bonnie." Elena looked at her shocked
"You know what? Screw you, Bonnie." Grace growled before walking away
"Let me know what you come up with." Sheriff Forbes told Damon before leaving his house
"Absolutely." Damon replied before shutting the door
He was suddenly man handled by his younger brother, shoved back against the door he'd just clothes face to face with the hazel eyed boy staring intently at him
"What is wrong with you? You killed somebody?" Stefan accused, he had heard the whole conversation from before
Damon pushed him away with ease "Get off me." He told him calmly "A) Don't touch me." He walked past him "B) If I had it wouldn't have been so obvious about it." He turned to face him "and C) There is another Vampire in town." Damon informed the younger Vampire
"That's impossible." Stefan replied quickly
"Obviously not." Damon rolled his eyes
"well then who could it be?" Stefan questioned cluelessly
Damon sighed dramatically "Ah, what do we care? We're leaving anyway, right?"
"No we can't leave now and you know that." Stefan replied "How are we suppose to find this person?"
"Let the adults handle this, Stefan." Damon retorted patronizingly before walking away
A little while later Elena was walking out of school waiting for Grace to turn up from where she had stormed off to, she looked up and saw a bright pair of hazel eyes sparkling in the sun, her heart dropped to her stomach as she though this would be the last time she'd seem those glorious eyes
"Hi." He greeted her simply "We need to talk." He announced and she just nodded
Tyler was on the basketball court with Matt as they were just messing around practising, but Tyler was curious about when he saw Caroline and Matt together earlier in the hallway
"What's up with you and Forbes?" Tyler questioned
"What do you mean, what's up?" Matt replied rolling his eyes
"Don't even try and deny it, Bro, you're tapping that." Tyler's mind was in the gutter as usual
"No it's not like that." Matt replied
"Never is, until you become we people." Tyler gave him a look before shooting the ball, it went threw the hoop nicely
"we people?" Matt questioned with a smirk
"Yeah, we can't make it to the party; we never miss a game; we don't like the colour red." Tyler threw his best friend a look
"we are not like that..." Matt replied seeing his mistake already
"like I said we..." Tyler shook his head
Meanwhile Elena and Stefan were sitting outside of the school talking about what Sheriff Forbes had told Damon about the body being found, and the new Vampire in town
"So you have no idea who it could be?" Elena questioned
"None, but it must be somebody new because leaving a body like that is sloppy or their trying to send a message..." Stefan replied
"Are you sure it's not Damon?" Elena asked in disbelief
"I'm never sure about Damon, but he's trying to keep a low profile lately so it's just doesn't make sense to me." Stefan admitted
Elena shook her head from side to side "so what are you going to do?"
"Damon is tracking him right now... Look, I promised you the truth so I wanted to tell you, and I want you to be careful, tell Grace so she can be safe too and Bonnie, but she seems like she gone through an awful lot the past couple of days so..."
"When I saw you." Elena started unable to find the words "I thought you were coming to say goodbye." She admitted
"Not yet." Stefan replied carefully
Jeremy sat there in the living room when Grace walked in looking really upset and unhappy, he called her over
"What do you think?" He questioned
"Creepy." She giggled taking a seat by his feet
"I found this old journal in my dad's stuff." Jeremy informed her "Jonathan Gilbert from the 1800s, he was kind of a freak show. He wrote about demons and all of these people getting slaughtered and..."
"That's so weird, my Gran gave me a journal about a month back written by my ancestor... Thomas Johnson and him and Jonathon were like best friends." Grace laughed looking at the pictures Jeremy had been drawing
"Sounds like the two were writers." Jenna bobbed her head around the door "Short stories, horror stuff, I remember reading Jonathan's..."
"He wrote fiction? I figured he was just a lunatic or a drunk..." Jeremy replied
Jenna passed her Nephew a book before replying "Probably a little bit of both..."
Caroline was standing outside of an abandoned warehouse with the Gilbert Compass in one hand pointing in the direction of the warehouse and her phone in the other
"What do I do now?" Caroline questioned down the phone
"Just wait, I'll be right there." A husky voice replied
"Can you hurry? I have things to do-" Suddenly she jolted when a voice came from behind her
"You can give me that." The raven haired boy ordered
"So why did you need me to do this?" The blonde questioned
"Because I interfere with the signal..." Damon replied placing the compass in his pocket
"Why did you ask me?" Caroline questioned "Why me? Why not Grace or Elena?"
"Because Grace hates me and Elena hates me because Grace hates me." Damon replied with a glare "And Bonnie hates me too, for multiple reasons..."
"Why does Grace hate you?" Caroline tilted her head to the side
"You can go now." Damon ordered before grabbing her shoulders "Take your car, go home and forget I asked you to do this." he smiled pleasantly compelling the naïve girl
"Ok, bye." Caroline skipped away
"Bye." Damon called
Damon walked up the steps leading to the door of the warehouse, he opened it hesitantly checking if anyone was around to see him walk in, as soon as he stepped one foot in the building the smell of rotting flesh.
As he turned a corner he was surprised when a loud gun shot echoed the room, he was ever more surprised when he felt a wooden bullet push into his chest, shoulder and then knee cap. He fell to the floor in pain
"I have plenty of these wooden bullets, so don't try anything funky." Logan warned walking around a wounded Damon
"You don't want to do this, trust me." Damon told him as he tried to pry the bullet from his shoulder blade only to get shot again in the arm "ow!"
"That's what you get." Logan growled
"For what?" Damon questioned confused
"You made me like this." Logan gestured to his Vampire self-control
"I killed you, I didn't turn you." Damon explained
"See, I know what you and your brother are, I've been watching the two of you... I knew you would appear and I'm glad that you did because I've got some questions." Logan kneeled in front of the older Vampire
"Me first." Damon held up one finger "Who turned you?"
"How should I know!" Logan exclaimed standing back up "One minute I'm about to shoot that tiny, brunette then you grab me. Thats it! Until I wake up in the ground behind a used car dealership on Highway 4... Somebody buried me."
"It happens." Damon would have shrugged if his shoulder hadn't been crippled by the bullets
"You bit me! It had to be you!" Logan looked at Damon
"You have to have Vampire blood in your system when you die, I didn't do that!" Damon told him "Some other Vampire found you, gave you their blood."
"Who!" Logan demanded
"That's what I want to know." He managed to pull he pulled from his shoulder
"Dude, it's not like the welcome wagon was waiting with bundt cake and a handbook." Logan replied sarcastically "It's kind of a learn as you go process you know, one minute, I'm a small town on the rise news guy and the next thing I know, I can't get in my house because my foot wont go through the door."
"You have to be invited in." Damon replied
"I know. I live alone." Logan replied bluntly
"Oh, that sucks!" Damon laughed
"So now, here I am at the Remada, watching paper view all day eating everything in sight, including house keeping!" Logan looked at him
"I could be worse." Damon groaned
"All I can think about is blood and killing people, I can't stop killing people, I keep killing and I like it." He laughed "I'm conflicted."
"welcome to the club." Damon replied sarcastically "Wait, Cops only found one body..."
"I left one, I was tired." He admitted "but I've hiding the rest of the bodies, they're right back there."
"You've got to be kidding me." Damon murmured when he saw the pile of dead people
"They're just pilling up."
The school was buzzing with people all around looking at future jobs showing off their works, whilst Sheriff Forbes did he rounds Mayor Lockwood joined here
"So what do you we know?" The Mayor questioned
"Nothing new to report yet." The Sheriff replied the Mayor sighed frustratedly "My highly reliable deputies are on their work, but if you feel the need to be more proactive by all means grab a stake and have at it." Sheriff joked
"What extra precautions can we take?" The Mayor asked
"For right now, there is nothing more safe than in a crowded public place. For once, we know where our kids are." The Sheriff glanced over her shoulder at her young daughter
Tyler was looking through a sketch book at the work that was in it, he looked to the side and saw Jeremy standing there
"What do you want?" Tyler asked hostile
"Hey, just surprised to see you here." Jeremy admitted "art usually implies cultures, and culture usually implies... well, not you."
"Go to hell." Tyler replied before walking away
Jeremy walked over to the book that Tyler had been looking in to see a picture like the one he had draw, when he looked to the corner of the page to see the artists name he was surprised when he saw 'Tyler Lockwood' written in a neat script
"Still want to be an Princess?" Elena questioned as she walked over to Grace
"I did, but then I realised I had to have Royalty in my family." Grace replied "What about you? Still want to be a Superstar?"
"Wouldn't mind it." Elena flicked through some leaflets "What Bonnie said earlier-"
"'Lena, I get it, ok? I was being a fool, Damon and I were never gonna work out, I'm just lucky I figured that out sooner." Grace nodded accepting it
Both girls hugged when they pulled back they saw Stefan was standing there next to them he was waiting for them to finish their moment
"I'll go find something else to do." Grace told them before walking out the door
Back in the warehouse Logan wasn't so worked up now, he was sitting to the side of Damon, gun still in hand just incase
"Why am I so overly emotional?" Logan queried "All I can think about is my ex-girlfriend... I just want to be with her and bit her and stuff."
"That means you probably love her. Anything you felt before will be magnified now, you have to learn to control that." Damon replied in a serious tone
"What about walking in the sun? I'm a morning person, you can walk in the sun which by the way, if pretty cool. The council will never suspect you. That's not in the journals..." Logan informed him
"The Journals?" Questioned Damon
"Yeah, the founding fathers passed down their journals to their kids. Come on, Man, you got to tell me. How can you walk around in the sun?" Logan asked again
"Who turned you?" Damon answered his question with another question
"How do you walk in the sun." Logan growled
"Who turned you?" Damon retorted
"You know, I've been really nice so far but I will kill you." Logan hissed standing up
"Then you'll never know..." Damon glared "Answer my question."
"You first!" Logan replied
"It seems we've reached an impasse then, doesn't it?" Damon smirked standing up
"I've got things t do, people to kill. Guess, I'll need a head start." He shot Damon twice in the knee before leaving
"I guess you're not here to plan for your future?" Elena questioned Stefan she didn't get an answer for a while "You're looking out for us."
"Hope that's ok... You know, I wanted to be a Doctor before it happened, but I couldn't." Stefan looked down disappointed
"The blood." Elena guessed
"Yeah, I've dabbled in tons of different things so..." He shrugged
"You didn't love anything enough to stick at it?" Elena questioned
"No, I love it all." Stefan replied "It's just... I had to move on before anybody could notice that I wasn't getting any older."
"How long before that would happened?" Elena asked
"Few years, usually. Sometimes shorter." Stefan looked down
"And you always left?" Elena asked hurt
"I didn't have the choice... So, what about you? Any plans for the future?" Stefan questioned
"I don't want to talk about my future, Stefan, because everything you're saying is making it perfectly clear that you're not going to be in it." She told him
"Elena, it's not that I don't want to be in it." Stefan replied
"You can't, I get it! I heard you the first time and the second time and I appreciate you looking out for me and my friends and my family, but please if you're going to leave, then just go." Elena told him her voice slightly raising
"Let's use our inside voices." Grace told them walking over
"Hide me." Jenna walked in the room
"What's going on?" Grace asked
"The Scumfell has landed." Jenna told the three teens
"Logan's here?" Elena shook her head
"Wait, Logan Fell?" Stefan asked looking at Grace
Both the small brunette and the hazel eyed boy walked out into the hallway to see that Logan was standing there talking to a crowd of females, the news reporter waved over at them with a smirk playing on his lips
"But he's dead." Grace whispered, her eyes wide as if she'd seen a ghost
"Stefan, what is going on?" Elena walked out looking at him Jenna following closely
"Jenna, are you dodging me?" Logan asked walking over
"It's a form of self-preservation." Jenna replied bluntly
"Elena, why don't you and Jenna go somewhere else?" Stefan suggested
"What are you doing here?" Stefan questioned
Grace cleared her mind and saw when Logan shot Damon "He shot Damon."
"How do you know that?" Logan asked
"You haven't answered my question, what are you doing here?" Stefan growled
"You know, you're brother asked me the same thing. In fact, why don't we just skip all the who turned you stuff and get the answer I want? How can I turn into a day walker?" Logan asked a smirk playing on his lips
"Damon and I are the only ones that I know of." Stefan replied
"Yeah, and both of you are cagey on the how, which tells me that there is a way. You know, incase you haven't noticed, I'm quite the celebrity in this town. It would be very easy for me to expose you." Logan smirked threatening the older Vampire
"You wanna know how to walk in the sun?" Stefan asked
"I do." Logan confirmed
"You can't." Stefan growled his eyes darkening "Don't ever threaten me again."
Grace laughed as she followed Stefan to the outside of the building, he tried to call Damon but go no answer
"You try." Stefan told her "He got your number from my phone... he knows it will be you calling."
"He got my-." Grace shook her head "I shouldn't be surprised this is Damon we're talking about." She pulled out her phone and used Stefan's phone to put the number in
Meanwhile Elena was taking Jenna as far away from Logan, Stefan and Grace as she could before she asked the question
"When Logan came to the house, what did he say?" Elena asked
"Fake flattery and stupid dimpled grin, puppy dog eyes." She reminisced
"I'm serious, Jenna." Elena warned "How did he act? What did he say?"
"He was the usual Logan, charming, a little more manic than usual... he kept trying to convince me to let him in... What?" She saw the look Elena was giving her
"Ok, listen to me very carefully. Do not, under any circumstances talk to him again. I'm serious, Jenna, like ever!" Elena told her
"Hey, Elena, Jenna." Alaric smiled at both women
"Hey, Mr. Saltzman." Elena smiled
"Yeah, I was hoping to see you tonight." Alaric smiled at Jenna
"Haven't you heard career night is the new bowling..." Jenna joked earning a laugh from Alaric
"Ok, excuse me." Elena walked around the flirting couple
Outside the school Damon picked up when Grace was calling after the second ring, she nodded at Stefan to confirmed he'd picked up
"I figured you'd call after Stefan did." Damon told her his voice thick with anger
"What's wrong?" Grace asked
"Logan Fell is a Vampire and when I find him again, I'm going to destroy him limb by limb." Damon growled
"What happened? You got shot right? Are you ok?" Grace asked
"No, I'm not ok! I was ambushed; I was shot. Now I'm vengeful. I just got to find him." Damon growled
"There's no need, he's here at the school." Grace replied
"You're kidding me? Why the hell is he there? Did he speak to you? What did he say? Are you ok?" Damon almost sounded concerned for the Telepath
"Stefan was with me, I'm fine... He's working the crowd, but he keeps asking about walking around daylight... We didn't tell him." Grace informed him
"Well in that case, sweetie, I'll be right there." Damon hung up
"So is there anything you would like to share?" Elena's voice came from behind them
"What are you doing?" The Sheriff complained as her daughter pulled her into a room with 'BROADCAST JOURNALISM' plastered on a larger banner
"I've found my future... There it is." She grinned
"Broadcast journalism?" The Sheriff questioned her daughters choice
"Yes! Broadcast journalism. Why are you looking at me like that?" The blonde questioned her picky mother
"You don't even read the paper." She laughed
Caroline gave her mother a look full of hurt before she turned around and left the room, Liz rolled her eyes before turning around to see Logan standing there
"Liz." He greeted her
"Logan." her voice was painted with surprise before she went to pull out her gun and realised how many people were around her
"What are you going to do?" Logan questioned with a smug look on his face "stake me; bury me in another shallow grave?" He asked "What will the email say this time?"
"I didn't have a choice." Liz told him
"You Bitch!" Logan spat "I died for you, for this town! You've know me since I was six and you swept me under the rug like dirt." His eyes were intense with anger
"you knew what you were getting into." Liz reminded him
"I was one of you." Their faces was inches apart
"Now you're one of them." Liz replied bluntly
Logan took a step back angrily before walking around her, quickly turning around he whispered into her ear "Watch your back, Sheriff." He threatened before walking away
Quickly pulling out her cell phone she dialled a number "Get a back up team to the school immediately, keep it within the circle, it's a V5." She informed the person on the other end before hanging up
Jeremy spotted Tyler across the room and quickly caught up with him "I didn't know you drew."
"It's an elective." Tyler lied
Jeremy carried on ignoring Tyler's hostility "Because it's good stuff. You like graphics? Because it's kind of my thing-"
"Oh, what are you doing?" Tyler questioned stopping them both
"That just something else we have in common." He shrugged
"What's the other thing? Vicki?" Tyler smirked and the hurt flashed in Jeremy's eyes as he mentioned the girl "Let's hang out because we did the same chick! Go be friends with one of the many other guys she screwed, there no shortage of them."
Jeremy suddenly attacked Tyler shoving him back against the lockers, both Alaric and Mayor Lockwood came to see the fight. Alaric pried Jeremy off Tyler and Mayor Lockwood pulled his son back
"Alright, work it out, tough guy." Alaric told Jeremy holding him back
"You two follow me." Mayor Lockwood ordered
"excuse me, Mayor." Alaric called making the Mayor turn "Where are you taking them?"
"I'm going to talk to them, all fights should end in handshakes, don't you think." He replied before leading both boys out of the building
"Bonnie, where are you I'm ready to go, I'll be outside." Caroline spoke to Bonnie's answering machine
A large black pulled up beside her with the window down "Hey, Damsel in Distress, need a ride?" Logan offered
"Oh my God, Logan Fell, Channel nine is that you?" Caroline faked being starstruck
"I used to babysit you, Caroline Forbes, don't mock me." Logan ordered with humour in his voice
"well I was suppose to go home with Bonnie, but I can't find her." Caroline checked her phone again
"It's not a problem, really." Logan told her "It's on my way."
Caroline walked around and got into the passenger seat of his Jeep, she sat there in silence before turning to him
"You know what? This is fate." She announced
"And why's that?" Logan asked
"because I'm interested in broadcast journalism, can I ask you a couple of questions?" Caroline asked
"Anything you want..." He grinned at the naïve girl "First, buckle up." he ordered
"Ok." Caroline nodded turning to grab the seat belt
Logan took this as his opportunity to get back at the counsel, but most of all to get back Liz Forbes for just giving up on the young reporter, as soon as she turned away Logan smacked her head against the glass forcefully, without shattering it, but knocking Caroline out cold.
Grace was walking through the school with Elena and Stefan looking high and low for Caroline, no one had seen her in a while and all three teens were beginning to get nervous
"Hey." Grace called Matt over knowing he's been hanging out with Caroline, he may know where she was "Have you seen Caroline?"
"Yeah, she just took off with that Logan Fell guy." Matt replied before walking away
"Stay here." Stefan ordered before walking away quickly
Mayor Lockwood dragged his son and Jeremy outside of the school and pushed them into each other
"ok, lets get this out of your system... Go ahead, fight." He encouraged the young teens
"Wait you want us to what?" Jeremy was shocked
"I'm not going to fight him, Dad." Tyler told his father
"I don't think so, sir." Jeremy was respectful and polite as he attempted to walk around him but was blocked by the Mayor
"You don't fight in there like pansies." The Mayor growled "you take it outside, fight your battles like men and move on, best lesson my dad taught me, so lets settle it. Fight."
"C'mon, Dad." Tyler shook his head
"Yeah, that's not gonna happen." Jeremy told him
Tyler then tried to walk past his dad but was pushed back into Jeremy again
"I said fight!" Mayor Lockwood ordered
"Whoa." Alaric was standing behind them "What's going on out here?"
"Just letting these two kids work it out." Mayor Lockwood replied casually "we're good here, go back inside."
"I don't want to go back inside." Alaric told the Mayor "What I want is an answer to my question, what is going on out here?"
"Who do you think you're talking to?" The Mayor turned with annoyance in his voice "Do I look like a student?"
"No you look like a full grown alpha male douche bag." Alaric countered earning a smirk from Jeremy and a look of disbelief from Tyler
"You don't talk to me like that. I could have your job like this." the Mayor snapped his fingers together to empathises the simpleness of the task
Alaric smirked with glee in his bright eyes "yeah you do that and it will be you and me in this parking lot working things out." Alaric gave him a look "you cool with that?"
"Just watch yourself." the Mayor warned
Alaric nodded with sarcasm in his eyes, Mayor Lockwood looked back at his son and gave him a look, without another word Tyler followed his father obediently
"You alright?" Alaric asked Jeremy
Sheriff Forbes was making her way home hoping that her daughter would already be there, considering she was suppose to be getting a ride home with her friend. Suddenly her phone began to ring and she saw Caroline pop up in the caller ID
"Where are you?" The Sheriff asked
"Your daughter has expressed an interest in journalism, I think it's important to nurture young minds." Logan's thick voice came down the line
"What do you want?" The Sheriff almost growled
"The satisfaction of turning your daughter into a Vampire." Logan stopped at the end of the road
He was caught by surprise when someone yanked him from the car, dropping the phone he let out a yell when four wooden bullets pierced his chest
"pay-backs a bitch isn't it?" Damon teased from where he stood with his younger brother "get her out of here." Damon told Stefan
As Stefan ran around to safely get Caroline from the car, Damon heard Sheriff Forbes voice on the other line, she was frantically trying to call him
"Logan! What happened! Logan!" She called and Damon picked up the phone
"Sheriff, it's Damon." He told her
"Where's Caroline?" The Sheriff asked fear flicking in her voice
"She's ok, I'm on Elm Street." He informed her before hanging up and walking around to the back of the car grabbing a tire iron before turning back to a weakened Logan "I'm gonna try this one more time." He swung the weapon in front of him to get a feel for the weight "Who turned you?"
"I told you, I don't know." Logan managed to sit up
"This tire iron here could take you head clean off." Damon told him, it was more of a threat than a statement "Is that your final answer?"
"How can you side with them?" Logan asked in disbelief
"I don't side with anyone." Damon informed the younger Vampire "you piss me off, I want you dead." Damon paused before continuing "Who turned you?"
"I don't know!" Logan exclaimed
"Oh well, you're screwed." Damon was about to hit him
"Whoa, whoa, wait!" Logan held his hands in front of him managing to her an angered Damon to stop "I do know!"
"You're lying." Damon was still holding the tire iron at the ready
"You think you're the only one who wants to get in the tomb underneath the old church?" Logan asked gaining Damon's attention
"If you're lying I will end you." Damon warned lowering the weapon
"I'm not." Logan assured him "There is another way to break the spell, we can help you. Meet me at the old church." He stated standing up as they head sirens arrive
"take me down." Damon said as the sirens got louder "make it look real, make it look real!" He told him in a hushed voice as the car stopped and Damon faux swung for him, in turn Logan shoved him back against the car running deep into the forest
"Where is she?" The Sheriff demanded as she ran over to a faking Damon
"She's ok, my brother took her home." Damon told her standing up "I'm sorry, Sheriff, I guess I wasn't strong enough." he lied
"Ok. 'Lena, I'm gonna take Jenna home, it's not safe us being here whilst Logan is still out there." the telepath almost shivered "Your man is waiting for you over there." she told her with a smirk playing on her pink lips
Elena looked around and Stefan standing there waiting patiently for her "Alright, see you there?"
"You gonna be able to get home? You don't have your car – actually I bet he'll take you back." She grinned before walking over to Elena's aunt "Should we get going?"
"Yeah, I'm just waiting to Jeremy, we gonna take your car?" Jenna asked
"Yep." Grace replied
"And your Gran knows?" Jenna asked skeptically
"Yep, she was here a little while back, she caught a ride with Mrs. Lockwood, said they had things to discuss... or something..." She shrugged
"Caroline?" Elena asked Stefan as she reached him
"She's ok, I took her home, she was shaken, all she knows is Logan attacked her." Stefan nodded
"Where is Logan?" Elena asked scared of the answer
"Damon... is dealing with him." Stefan replied sketchy on the details
"as in..." Elena didn't need to finish the sentence, Stefan just nodded
"You saw what happened tonight, you understand why we can't be together?" Stefan asked her "You see?"
"Yes, I'm seeing a lot of things, Stefan, maybe we could talk about this more at your places?" Elena asked hopeful
"Sure." Stefan nodded "I'll give you a ride
"Thanks." Elena smiled
Grace and Jenna were waiting for Jeremy on the hood of Grace's jeep when she traded her old car in her for her new one. It wasn't brand new, but it did the job
Jeremy walked over to a lonely, isolated Tyler as he stood outside of the school feeling agitated and overheated, it felt like he wanted a fight
"What do you what?" Tyler asked just as hostile as earlier
"I don't know." Jeremy replied simply "I thought that it was weird with you Dad, what he did... Is he like that all the time? Is that what you got to go through?" Jeremy asked "I mean, I get it, I get it." Jeremy comforted him by lowering his voice making it softer
This only aggravated Tyler more how this kid was trying to get down to his level, trying to pry in on his personal life, he swung a punch as his face making Jeremy groan loudly
"What's your problem!" Jeremy demanded
"Look, I don't need your pity." Tyler told him with a shaky breath
"Seriously, you don't have to be like this, you don't." Jeremy told him
"Just go!" Tyler exclaimed
"What is your problem, man?" Jeremy growled before walking away
"I don't know." Tyler answered looking up at the full moon "I don't know." He repeated
Stefan pulled up outside of his house stopping and just sitting there with Elena until she finally plucked up the courage to speak to him
"What I said before about you leaving... it was harsh." She admitted
"no, you had every right." Stefan replied with a small smile
"you asked me what I wanted me future to be." Elena remember the question she'd been asked whilst they were at the school "I wanted to be a writer." Stefan looked at her interested "my mom sort of pushed me in that direction... from the time I was able to read." She informed him about her past "She supported me, encouraged me, brought my journal, and thens she died... And I can't see myself being a writer anymore, that was something that we shared, I know you think you put all of this bad stuff in my life, but my life already had it. I was buried in it."
"This is different." Stefan countered
"It doesn't make it any less painful." Elena's eyes glazed over with tears
"I know that it's hard to understand, but I'm doing this for you." Stefan explained getting out of the car
Elena sat there for a while, contemplating her next more, what was she to do next? How could she convince him that she truly did want his... then she got out of the car
"no." She announced making him stop in his tracks "You don't get to make that decision for me, because I know what I want!" She made herself clear "If you walk away it's for you. Stefan, I love you." She stated without fear
He turned to her shaking his head, he was now torn, he loved her but he was bringing danger and death into her life, into her families lives, into her friends lives just by being there... He didn't want to fight it anymore. Lexi was right, he did love Elena and now he was going to prove it to her the best way he knew how.
Swiftly walking over he took her face between his hands and pressed his lips passionately to hers, without hesitation Elena kissed back with all her strength. Making their way into the house they embraced each other tightly as they kissed
Stefan could feel his true self slipping out and he turned away from her, braking their intimate moment, she refused to let this ruin their moment
"Don't." Elena breathed
"Elena, I can't." Stefan looked away from her
"Yes, you can." Elena assured him "Don't hide from me."
He turned back slowly and she looked deep into his Vampire eyes, they were darker than their usual hazel colour, she didn't mind, pressing her fingers to the now visible veins, she made him sure by pressing her lips against his one more time before leading him upstairs to the bedroom, she was definitely sure that she wanted this...
Meanwhile at the warehouse Logan had been storing the bodies at he was about to go meet up with Damon and talk about breaking the spell on the tomb under old Fell's Church
As he walked towards his car he heard a loud bang form behind him, turning around he saw no one to be there, as he turned back around he saw an unfamiliar face standing in front of him, he was confused
"Who are you?" He demanded
"I'm a friend of Jenna's." Alaric replied in a low, protective voice
"Jenna sent you?" Logan questioned the mysterious man
"no, I came on my own." Alaric replied calmly
"Ah, I get it." Logan nodded "Well, buddy, I know you think it makes you brave, but actually it makes you pretty stupid."
"Either way, here I am..." Alaric shrugged
"What do you want?" Logan asked angrily
"Well, Jenna's a good person, she deserves the best, I'm here to make sure she gets it." Alaric referred to himself in this situation as 'the best'
"Is that suppose to be a threat?" Logan asked with a smirk as they circled each other "Couldn't you throw a punch? Provoke me a little?"
Alaric chuckled darkly "I'm not a violent guy by design."
"You're not a very smart one either." Logan taunted
"How's that?" Alaric asked
Logan turned feeling the Vampire side of him slip through with ease "Because you have no idea who you are talking to."
Logan launched himself at Alaric not knowing what he was hiding the whole time. He stopped dead when he felt a stake shoved into his chest, he fell to the floor. Dead.
"I need a ride." Tyler told Matt as he walked to his car
"Sure." Matt nodded "Look, I like Caroline." The blonde suddenly burst "She's got this way about her... and I like her ok? I'm not gonna defend it or apologise about it, ok?"
"Ok." Tyler replied simply
"So stop your little bromance bitch act." Matt told the raven haired boy
"I've never been in your room before." Elena informed Stefan as they lay there snuggling under the covers
"it hasn't changed much over the years." Stefan replied
"Do you leave everything in here when you come and go?" Elena questioned looking around at the stacks off old tattered books, priceless art and pictures of friends
"It's the only that that has remained constant. This room holds every memory that I thought was important enough to hold on to." Stefan explained the disorganised mess of his room
"Lots of memories." She stated
"Yeah, are you thirsty?" Stefan questioned
"A little, you?" She replied with a smirked of her naïve of asking a Vampire is he was thirsty
"I'm fine." He replied kissing her forehead "I'll get you something to drink, ok." He got up from under her leaving her under the covers
Elena got up from her bed and started to wander around Stefan's cluttered room, smelling candles and looking at pictures. One caught her eye in particular it looked like her and Grace, but in period clothes. She was stunned when she read the date and names at the bottom of the photo Fayth and Katherine, 1864
Dropping the picture she quickly scrambled for her phone using Grace's speed dial key, she picked up after a couple of rings
"Hello?" Her voice was thick with sleep
"Come and pick me up, please." Elena was almost in tears
"Alright, 'Lena, but what's wrong?" Grace asked scared
"We look like this." Elena sobbed "Like Fayth and Katherine, they look like us, is that why he liked me?"
"Hey, hey." Grace stopped her holding the phone to her ear using her shoulder unclipping her bracelet placing it on Elena's bed side table, it was irritating her wrist "I'll be right there, 'Lena, just calm down." she got up leaving
Damon was walking through the forest towards the old Fell's Church ruins about to meet Logan and possibly his Maker. He felt his phone vibrating in his pocket, when he looked at the caller ID the name read Liz Forbes
"Hello?" He asked ducking under a tree
"I just wanted to say thank you." She replied "I don't know how you did it."
"hmm, not following." Damon replied clueless
"We found Logan's body up by the old warehouse, it has been disposed of. He was hoarding victims." she informed him like he didn't already know "Innocent victims."
"What?" Damon was even more confused
"This town owns you so much." She told him grateful "and so do I."
As Stefan walked back into his room he noticed that Elena wasn't still in his bed, he walked over and saw that Katherine's picture had been moved and the necklace he had given Elena was laying on top of it, he ran outside but Elena was no where to be seen
Elena was walking down the road leading towards her house talking to Grace's answer phone "Hey, you must be taking the long way or be stuck in traffic, but if you get this I'm almost home now... be careful, Grace."
Grace was driving down the road, she could barely seen anything through her tried eyes and only at the last minute did she notice a man in a hood standing directly in the middle of the road, she screamed as she hit him, she was surprised when her car over turned doing several rolls before stopping upside down.
The telepath was paralysed with fear as she saw the body about a meter away from her car, she began to struggle, still hanging upside down being held into place by her seat belt. When she saw it get back up watching and hearing his bones snap back into place.
The hooded man began to walk towards her. She screamed as loud as she could trying to get anyone's attention as the feet there close to her face.
A/N Hey everyone, thank you so much for reviewing, fav and alerting my last chapter, it really makes my day to know what every thinks of it. I hope this chapter is ok for you
