DISCLAIMER: I do not own the vampire diaries

Stefan POV

She was stunning. A picture of beauty. Wild, red hair, cascading down her shoulders. Her deep blue eyes would capture the attention of everyone around her. She could've been a vampire, except, she wasn't. And that is what I couldn't understand.
One of Julian's maggot vampires was roaming mystic falls, looking for a snack. Julian's vampires were upset with us for killing him. Some of them had attempted to kill Damon and me after doing so, the rest of them fled, spreading out on all corners of the
world, taking their anger out on innocent people such as Zabrina. I tried to save her, that is, until I realised she could handle herself just fine
I stared at her in shock as she incapacitated the vampire using that witchy migraine thing. I couldn't believe it. She was a witch. I was suddenly snapped out of my trance, when I realised I was losing my moment of opportunity. I sped over to him and ripped out his heart, and watched his body desiccate. I then realised I just revealed my true nature to her, I tried to keep her calm, and told her my name, in which she replied with hers. Zabrina. The name echoed in my ears. I then gave her a formal welcome to Mystic Falls, although, there really wasn't much to introduce.
"If you have come for the famous ghost town, I suggest you leave now. You have seen what happens to tourists around here"
She looked around at her surroundings. She tried to keep a calm face. She then suddenly erupted.

"What the fudge just happened?" She yelled, quivering all over. She was absolutely terrified
"Do you know anything about the world of the supernatural?" I asked, trying to keep a straight face. This question isn't easy to bring up with strangers, especially if they are clueless about their true power, but I had to know what she was, she had a right to know as well.
"Only what I know from folklore and stories" she answered as a matter of factly
I tried to explain the true nature of what I was, and what that man was, and the true reason of the abandonment of mystic falls.
She stared at me as if I was absolutely mad
"Have you lost your mind? Vampires? Werewolves? Witches?"

this wasn't turning out well, i thought. i had to explain it in a more delicate manner

"if the supernatural world is only a myth, then how can you explain the events that just occurred? the mans super speed. his ability to compel... or possibly, his fangs?"

she looked dumbfounded. she didn't appear to have an answer for my question, i continued

"and what about what YOU did? not everyone can just cause a magical migraine. you too are supernatural...you cant deny it."

she suddenly snapped back to reality, and glared at me

"I'll tell you what happened. the guy attacking me just suddenly got a headache, and i just happened to be in his warpath at that exact moment. its just a coincidence. but what isn't a coincidence is you suddenly appearing out of nowhere, killing him, and acting all hero like. who are you? why are you following me?

"i told you my name. i am Stefan Salvatore. and i am NO stalker." i muttered, rolling my eyes

"i mean...who are you? stranger with superhuman strength? names don't exactly reveal much about ones personality. and do you seriously expect me to believe this town has been abandoned by vampires? sure, i love twilight, like any normal teenage girl, and as much as i dream of a hot tennage vampire falling in love with me, these things just don't happen in reality. you, my friend, are mentally unwell. you need to go and get yourself checked."

she turned around, and had began to walk away. i panicked. i couldn't just let her go when she is doubting her true nature, besides, she might talk. tell the story of the ghost town mystic falls, and the new attraction...vampires! i could not risk more tourists coming...their lives would be endangered if any more vampires crawled out of the sewers.

so i attempted to stop her

little did i know, how fast i was going.

i vamp-sped in front of her, attempting to reason with her. i was unable to get a word out. she was staring at me, unafraid. When I met her gaze, I felt drawn into her eyes. The icy blueness generated a feeling like I was being pulled into a lake of frozen emotions. It was like all the myriad shades of blue swirled together to form a whirlpool of apprehension. she spoke the finest of words, words of silk, and the sweetest honey

"leave me alone. you will let me go to my car, and drive away, you will not move until i have vanished from your sight, do you understand?"

her words made complete sense to me. i have never felt so sure of something that i was of her request. i nodded, still entranced by her majestic eyes. she then broke her gaze with me, and began running towards her car, leaving me alone with my thoughts

why couldn't i move? why wasn't i chasing after her? why did i feel like letting her drive away? it made no sense...unless...she compelled me?! how was that possible? i had no idea! but i had to find out

ever so slightly, i began to fight the compulsion, it was weak, but still did the trick. thankfully, it couldn't hold me for long.

moments later, i fully broke the compulsion, i processed the situation, half dazed after what just occurred. i then remembered who i was looking for. i saw zabrina, in her car, attempting to start up the engine. i sped towards her, throwing her out of her car. i was far beyond common curtosy. i wanted answers, and i wanted them now

"HOW DID YOU COMPEL ME? YOUR A WITCH! EVEN AN ORDINARY VAMPIRE CANT COMPEL ME!" I roared, pinning her against the road

she stared at me, horrified

"forget how i did it, the main question is, how did you resist it? no one can fight it!"

"so its true then? you do know what you are, you were just pulling the innocent act so you could escape last minute!"

her horror suddenly tuned to confusion

"what the hell are you talking about? everything I have told you is true! I just...may have left out a few things" she muttered the last part so quietly it was barely audible. But, due to my vampire hearing, each word was clear as day.

"what do you mean, left out a few things..?"

she rolled her eyes

"its no big deal. I'm just naturally persuasive. sure, its weird that everything I ask for, I get without question. its just natural talent. but you are the first person who has actually resisted it." she said, curiously looking into my eyes

I returned the stare, bewildered at her response.
"No one should be able to compel me. Only a select few can do that, and they are currently residing in New Orleans." I said, amused at her curiosity

"Compulsion? That's what you call it? You say it as if other people can do it, besides me. Is that true? Are there more people just like me?" She asked

"Well that really just depends on you. I'm not exactly sure what you are. You possess the magic of a witch, yet the compulsion of a vampire, hell, the compulsion of an original, this is what I don't understand. You could very easily be a heretic, but even heretics don't have the ability to compel so powerfully. So you tell me. What are you?" I pressed, hopping to trigger a response

Her eyes bored into mine. Damn, I thought. I really am getting sick of her doing that. Is she still trying to compel me?
"No, I'm not trying to compel you, just trying to figure you out" she answered, gazing into my eyes

My heart skipped a beat, I froze, in disbelief

Did she just hear my thoughts?

"It's kinda hard not to. Your muttering them so loud in your head, it's like you were literally just talking to me without realising it" she replied.

Ok this girl is really starting to freak me out, I need to take her to someone who actually knows what the fuck is going on, and I think I know who.
It's not like she will come willingly though, I may have to go to more extreme measures

I suddenly realised what I just did, as Zabrina's eyes went as wide as golf balls, and alarm bells were ringing inside her head

Damn, I forgot she can read my thoughts

She started to break out into a run, but not before I broke her neck in one swift movement
She collapsed almost instantly, and I caught her in my arms before she hit the concrete. I started to feel accomplished, until I had realised what I had done

I had snapped her neck. She was human

God, with all this supernatural shit surrounding her, I reacted in a way I would with a normal vampire, I started to feel panicked, until I heard her faint heartbeat

Thank god, she is still alive

Yet somehow, that didn't seem to calm me down as much

I really shouldn't be out doing hero work right now. I mean, matt banned all vampires here, but it doesn't mean I can't help innocents escape the clutches of the bloodthirsty vampires. I thought if I could show Matt I was doing a solid for the town, by protecting those who cannot protect themselves, he may remember all the good parts about me, and how we are still friends

I was snapped back to reality with the limp body twitching in my arms.

Wow. I thought. She recovers fast

I should probably get her inside somewhere, before more demons come out of the shadows

All of a sudden, my scar began to throb. I suddenly remembered all of my other life problems

Oh crap, raina's close. I have been so caught up with Zabrina that I forgot that I am supposed to be on the run

I hoisted Zabrina up on my shoulder, and vamp sped to my car, starting the ignition

Maybe Valerie can help me
