Author's Note: Hope you love the updated version! :D

Megan slowly explored the job fair, not really paying attention to the booths. She didn't even want to be here as she had no idea what she wanted to do in the future. Even before she met Stefan, but now, she didn't know more than she already did. Megan looked around also for Charlene. She had no idea where her best friend was. She hadn't seen her since this morning, so she hoped that she was okay and not hurt. Maybe she was with Damon or something.

Megan walked for a little bit until she spotted Matt, looking at one of the booths. Elena was heading up to Matt just as she was.

"Hey guys. Having fun yet?" Megan asked them with a small grin, standing beside her best friend's sister.

Elena smiled. "You know it." She joked before turning towards Matt. "Still wanna be an astronaut?" She gestured over to the booth he was looking at.

Matt shook his head, smiling to himself. "I can't believe you remember that."

"I can remember that tinfoil that you wore on your head." Elena teased, ruffling his hair.

"I was eight." Matt said in exasperation, but he was grinning.

"I remember that too. I thought you looked adorable." Megan told him, her grin widening. She changed the subject. "How are you doing, Matt? You doing alright?" She hadn't talked to Matt since the whole thing with Vicki happened.

"I've had it easier. You? I heard some things." Megan knew he meant Stefan. "So, it's true that you and Stefan…"

Megan sighed and said nothing for a moment before nodding slowly. "Yeah, it's true. But I'm doing…okay. I mean, as well as I can be." She left it at that, not wanting to talk about it anymore.

Matt didn't press, not that he had time to as Elena went onto another subject.

"What about you, Matt Donavan?" she teased, nudging him in the side with a grin. "I heard about Caroline."

He groaned a bit. "Aw, man, not you too."

"Hey." Elena touched his arm.

Matt looked down at her and sighed. "We're just friends." Elena gave him a skeptical look. "It's not a big deal."

"Better not let Caroline hear that." Megan joked, crossing her arms as she glanced around to make sure the talkative blonde wasn't near them.

They didn't seem to hear her as Elena met his gaze.

"No?" she questioned.

"No." They stared at each other intensely.

Megan stood there, awkwardly. Deciding to give them a moment, she turned to leave but stopped in her tracks, seeing Stefan standing in the doorway.

Charlene winced at the pain in her body as she tried to move it. The wooden bullets in her body were a pain in the ass. Damon had got most of them out, but she was still hurting, and she was dirty. All she wanted was to get out of this warehouse and take a long, hot shower. Charlene didn't think that was going to happen anytime soon, not with Logan being as annoying as he was being at the moment.

Logan was still on crouched down in front of them, the gun being held loosely in his hand. "Why am I so overly emotional?" he asked. "All I can think about is my ex-girlfriend." Charlene's eyes narrowed at him, knowing he was talking about Jenna. "I wanna be with her and bite her and stuff."

Well, that wasn't going to happen in a million years. Not if Charlene had anything to say about it.

"Well, you probably love her." Damon said dryly. He didn't like being in this predicament any more than Charlene did. "Anything you felt before will be magnified now. You're going to have to learn how to control that."

So far, he wasn't doing that well at all.

"What about walking in the sun?" Logan questioned. "I'm a morning person. You and Charlene can walk in the sun which, by the way, is pretty cool."

Damon's hand, the one with his daylight ring, flexed in response to Logan's question about it and he released Charlene's hand to cover his other hand. The last thing they needed was Logan to find out how exactly they could walk in the sun.

"The council will never suspect you. That's not in the journals."

"The journals?" Damon inquired, confused.

"Yeah, the founding fathers, they passed down journals to their kids. Come on man, you gotta tell me. How can you walk around in the sun?"

"Who turned you?"

"How do you walk in the sun?"

"Who turned you?"

Charlene rolled her eyes. "Would you just answer the damn question?" she snapped, getting aggravated with the whole thing.

Logan glared at her. "You know, I've been really nice so far, but I will kill you and him." He stood up and pointed the gun at Charlene, who flinched and cowered back immediately.

"Then you'll never know." Damon slowly stood up to his feet. "You're not answering my question."

"You first!"

"It seems we're at a bit of an impasse then, doesn't it?" Damon told him dryly.

Logan chuckled darkly. "I have things to do, people to kill. Guess I'll be needing a head start." He shot Damon a couple of times, causing the vampire to groan and fell back to the ground.

Charlene winced and did think Logan was going to do the same thing to her, but he never did. He simply just left the warehouse. Sighing in relief, Charlene forced herself to move over towards Damon.

"Are you okay?" she touched his shoulder.

"What do you think?" Damon snapped, jerking away from her touch.

She winced in response. "Sorry, stupid question…" she mumbled, looking away.

He sighed heavily at her reaction. "No, I'm sorry."

Charlene looked up at him, surprised. "Did you just actually apologize?" she asked in disbelief.

Damon rolled his eyes. "Don't get used to it."

Megan stood against the wall, just staring at Stefan. Why was he still there? She thought he would leave after informing her about the new threat in Mystic Falls, but then she realized, that's exactly why he was still here.

"You're watching out for me?" Megan said finally, making it sound like a question, instead of a statement.

"Yeah…is that alright?"

No, it wasn't. Normally it would be just fine, but she didn't need him watching out for her. She could take care of herself.

"I appreciate it, Stefan, but I'll be fine." Megan told him. "You know that I can take care of myself. You saw how I was when the whole thing with Bonnie happened."

"I know…" Stefan sighed. "But…it…just make me feel better to see that you're okay."

She crossed her arms. "Well, I'm fine, so you can go now."

She hated being harsh with him, but he deserved after the way he's been treating her. Without saying another work, Megan headed over to one of the booths, but he didn't leave as she could hear his footsteps behind her. She frowned in annoyance. However, she didn't say anything while Stefan spoke as he stood right next to her.

"You know, I wanted to be a doctor before everything happened…" he said, and her ears perked up at that, but she didn't look up at him, instead focusing on the pamphlets on the booth. "But, uh, then I couldn't, 'cause…"

"Of the blood?" Megan finished, already knowing what he was going to say. Because you couldn't be a vampire and a doctor. She knew he nodded even though she couldn't see it.

"Yeah. I've dabbled in a bunch of different things, though."

"Did you not love anything enough to stick with it?" Megan asked, unable to stop the curiousness in her voice as she moved to another booth with Stefan right behind her.

"No, I…I loved it all. I just…I had to move before anybody could notice I wasn't getting any older."

"When would that happen?"

"Few years, usually. Sometimes shorter."

Megan finally looked up at him. "So, you always left? You never wanted to stay?"

"I did…but I couldn't…I didn't have a choice."

She looked away, staring down at her feet. So even if he didn't leave today, he would have to leave eventually… Stefan spoke again, and she could hear the smile in his voice.

"So, what about…what about you? What are your, uh, plans for the future?"

Megan looked at him again, frustration in her eyes. "Are you really asking me that? How can I think about my future when you clearly don't want to be apart of it?" He went to touch her hand, but she jerked away, causing him to sigh heavily.

"Megan, it's not that I don't wanna be in it."

"Well, clearly you do. No use in lying about it, Stefan, okay? But I get it, you can't be apart of it. I'm human and you're a vampire and eventually that's going to matter as I get older and older and you stay the same. But the moment you told me your secret, I was apart of your life and that's not going to change. No matter how many times you push me away because I love you. When it's real, you can't walk away." Megan finished her speech, ending it with the sentence Lexi had used and Stefan's face softened. "But here you are, going to walk away after this vampire thing ends. So, if you're going to leave, then leave. Don't just stay and make me feel that your going to change your mind." Megan was about to walk away from him but before she could, Jenna along with Elena came rushing up to the two of them.

"Hide me." Jenna announced.

Megan's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What? What's wrong?"

"It's Logan." Elena was the one to explain with a frown. "He keeps following Jenna."

"Seriously?" Megan rolled her eyes.

Stefan looked surprised as he didn't know the news reporter had returned. "Wait, Logan Fell?"

Jenna nodded, and Stefan quickly went out into the hallway. Megan was quick to follow him, seeing Logan standing in the middle of the room. She couldn't help but glare at the sight of him.

"Stefan, what's going on?" Megan asked, going to stand next to him as Logan approached the two of them. Immediately, she stiffened, feeling something very dark about him. It was something that hasn't been there before.

Jenna and Elena walked in close behind. Logan smirked at Jenna.

"Jenna…are you dodging me?" he asked, almost mockingly.

She pursed her lips as she crossed her arms. "It's a form of self-preservation."

"Um, Megan, why don't you, Jenna, and Elena go somewhere else?" Stefan gave her a pointed look.

Megan stared at him for a moment before nodding in understanding. "Come on, let's go." She told the other two women, grabbing both of their hands and leading them both away.

"What are you doing here?" Stefan demanded.

"You know your brother asked me the same thing," Logan said with a smirk. "In fact, why don't we skip past all the who turned me stuff to get to the answer that I want? How can I turn into a day walker?"

Stefan simply stared at him. "Damon and I are the only two that I know of."

"But you're both cagy on the how which tells me there is a way. You know in case you hadn't noticed, I'm quite the celebrity in this town. It would be very, very easy for me to expose you."

Stefan's eyes narrowed at the threat. "You wanna know how you can walk in the sun?" he said as a question, his tone of voice was deathly.

"I do," Logan said intensely.

"You can't. Don't ever threaten me again." Stefan said darkly. Not letting him get in another word, he brushed past Logan. This was bad. Very bad.

Once she was sure that they were at a safe distance, Megan quickly turned around to face Jenna and Elena.

"Jenna, this is very important, what exactly did Logan say to you last night?" she demanded urgently.

"Fake flattery. Stupid, dimpled grin. Puppy dog eyes."

"Jenna, I'm being serious. What did he say?" Megan begged, sounding desperate, which the adult noticed.

She nodded. "He was the usual Logan, charming, a little more manic than usual. He kept trying to convince me to come in." Megan looked at her, eyes wide as she realized what was going on and Jenna frowned in concern. "What?"

"Jenna, you need to stay away from him, okay?" Megan told her seriously, grasping her shoulders. "Don't let him get near you, EVER." She slowly nodded even though she had no idea what was going on. "You stay with Elena. I'll be back." She went to leave but Elena stopped her before she could get far, grabbing onto her arm.

"What's going on?" she asked, concerned.

Megan stared at her, debating if she should tell Elena, but in the end, she decided she should. "Logan's a vampire, that's why he's still alive." She whispered to Elena. The brunette's eyes widened. "Okay. I'm going to get more information from Stefan. You stay with Jenna, make sure she stays away from Logan." Before she could say anything else, Megan pulled her arm away from Elena and hurried off to find Stefan.

She couldn't find him inside of the school, so she went outside to see if he was out there. He was, and he was on the phone. Stefan did see her, but he didn't acknowledge her. Megan stayed silent, listening to the conversation as she crossed her arms while she waited.

"What happened? Are you okay?" Stefan asked, concerned.

"No, I'm not okay." Damon was pretty loud over the phone, so Megan could tell that it was him on the other end of the phone. "I was ambushed. I was shot. Now, I'm vengeful. Just got to find him."

"Well, there's no need. He's here at the school."

"You're kidding me. Why the hell is he there?"

"He's working the crowd."

"Well, I'll be right there."

Megan approached Stefan as he hung up the phone, slipping it into his pocket. He turned around to face her and she crossed her arms again.

"Care to explain to me what's going on?"

Caroline stood outside of the school, waiting for Bonnie to come pick her up but the Bennett was nowhere in sight. She groaned in frustration as she picked up her phone and dialed her best friend's phone number. Caroline put the phone to her ear, but it went straight to voicemail. So, she left a message.

"Bonnie, where are you?" Caroline asked with a groan. "I'm ready to go. I'll be outside." With that, she hung up the phone just as Logan Fell came riding up in his SUV.

"Hey, damsel in distress, need a ride?" He smirked.

"Oh my God, Logan Fell, channel 9, is that you?" Caroline said sarcastically with a fake gasp at the end.

His smirk widened. "I used to baby sit you, Caroline Forbes. Don't mock me."

"Well, I was supposed to go home with Bonnie, but I can't find her."

"It's not a problem, really. It's on my way."

Caroline smiled. "Okay." Before she got into the car though, someone grabbed onto her arm causing her to gasp but she relaxed when she saw it was Charlene. "You scared the shit out of me, Char."

"Sorry." Charlene glared at Logan, who glared right back at her. "I couldn't help but overhear, I'll give you a ride home."

"Well, Logan…" The other blonde cut her off before she could finish.

"Doesn't mind if I take you." Charlene said, her glare hardening at Logan. "Right?"

"Actually, I do mind. Get in the car, Caroline."

The tone of his voice made Caroline step back. "No, Charlene can take me. I don't mind. I'll get home either way."

Logan scoffed. "I really didn't want to have to do this." He got out of the car, pulling out a gun.

Caroline's eyes went wide. "What are you doing?!"

Charlene pushed her behind her. "Don't you dare, Logan." She growled, her eyes starting to change.

Not even saying anything, Logan pulled the trigger and shot Charlene in the shoulder. The blonde cried out, tumbling to the ground as she gripped onto her shoulder.

"Charlene!" Caroline exclaimed. Before she could go to her friend's side, she was slammed in the head with something and she fell unconscious.

Logan pulled Caroline into the car, practically shoving her inside. He went over to Charlene's body and grabbed her hair, pulling on it roughly. Charlene cried out again.

"Let go of me!" she growled.

"Not going to happen." Logan hissed as he tugged her hair again. The blonde whimpered. "You killed me. And I think it's time for me to return the favor." He used the gun again, but this time, he slammed her over the head with it, leaving her unconscious just like Caroline.

Stefan appeared at the spot where Charlene and Caroline were last seen. He looked around for a moment before noticing something on the ground and he went over to pick it up. It was Charlene's daylight ring. Stefan's eyes widened at the sight of it. This wasn't good. He quickly grabbed his phone and dialed Damon's number. His brother immediately picked up. Over at the boarding house, Damon was in the living room, putting on his jacket.

"I'm going to be there soon." He snapped, a little annoyed.

"Logan's got Charlene and she doesn't have her daylight ring."

Damon was silent over the phone for a moment. "Okay. Again, I'll be there soon." He acted like he didn't care, but Stefan could hear the worry in his voice. His brother ended the phone call.

Stefan sighed and was about to hurry to find them before something bad happened, but a voice stopped him. Megan's voice. He groaned at the sound of it.

"I thought I told you to stay inside." Stefan said, turning to face her.

"Well, I decided not to listen for once. I want to help, Stefan, and you know I can." Megan's voice left no room for argument.

He didn't want to, but Megan was stubborn, so there was no use changing her mind. "Fine. But the second it gets dangerous, you're out of there, understand?"

"I understand. Now, let's go save Charlene and Caroline."

Charlene finally regained consciousness and she groaned at the pain in her head. She felt the wound on the back of her head. It was already starting to heal but it was still there. She could feel the dried blood. Charlene moved her hand down and noticed her daylight ring was gone. She panicked immediately. Where was it?! God, this wasn't good at all! Then, Charlene noticed Caroline in the back seat with her and she remembered what happened.

Logan.

Charlene's eyes went to the front of the car, and sure enough, there he was, and he was on the phone with someone. She focused, and she could hear who it was. Sheriff Forbes was on the other end of the phone.

"Where are you?"

Charlene didn't have to be looking to know Logan was smirking. "Your daughter has expressed an interest in journalism. I think it's important to foster young minds."

"What do you want?"

"The satisfaction of turning your daughter into a vampire." The car stopped.

Charlene would have tried to shove him out of the car before he could even think about turning Caroline, but she was too weak to do anything. Luckily, someone else took over for her.

Stefan pulled Logan out of the car and was thrown onto the road. Her door opened, revealing Megan on the other side.

"Megan!" Charlene cried out in relief. Her best friend managed to pull her out of the car, holding onto her tightly as Megan made sure she stayed upright.

Damon was there too. Logan was about to charge at him, but he shot Logan multiple times. The news reporter cried out as he crumbled to the ground.

"Payback's a bitch, isn't it?" Damon mocked with a smirk. "Get them out of here." He told Stefan.

"But Damon…" Charlene protested.

"No." He cut her off. "Get out of here with Stefan and Megan. You're hurt. You're not going to be any use to me. So, GO."

Charlene wanted to protest again but Megan tugged her away before she could. Stefan pulled Caroline out of the car and they quickly left, leaving Damon alone with Logan alone.

Damon picked up the phone from the ground, Liz Forbes' voice echoing through the speaker.

"Logan, what happened? Logan?"

He put the phone to his ear. "Sheriff, it's Damon."

"Where's Caroline?"

"She's okay." Damon reassured. "I'm on Elm Street." He shut off the phone and went to the back of the car as Logan withered on the ground. He pulled out a tire iron before walking over to the newbie vampire. "We're going to try this one more time." He said as he pretended to hit a baseball with the tire iron but stopped after a moment, so he could ask the question he was dying to know ever since he found out about Logan. "Who turned you?"

"I told you! I don't know!" he exclaimed.

Damon smirked as he ran his hands against the tire iron. "You know this tire iron could take your head clean off." He got poised to hit Logan. "Is that your final answer?"

"How can you side with them?" Logan asked angrily.

In response, he scowled at him. "I don't side with anyone. You pissed me off! And you made the mistake of hurting Charlene along with me." He said nothing for a moment before asking again. "Who turned you?"

"Oh, well your screwed." Just as Damon was about to hit him for real this time, Logan yelled out, "Wait! I do know!"

"You're lying."

"I'm not lying!" Logan exclaimed. "You think you're the only one who wants to get in that tomb? Under the old church?"

Damon's eyes narrowed at him. "If you're lying to me, I will end you." He growled threateningly.

"I'm not lying." Logan insisted as the police sirens sounded. "There is another way to break the spell. We can help you. Meet me at the old church."

The police sirens sounded even closer now.

"Take me down." Damon said quickly. "Make it look real." He got poised to fight but Logan pushed him hard against the car causing him to groan in fake pain. Logan disappeared just as Liz Forbes appeared.

"Where is she?" Liz demanded worriedly to Damon, who was on the ground.

"She's okay," Damon said and Liz breathed out a sigh of relief. "My brother is taking her home." He stood up holding onto his injured arm and he tried to sound apologetic as he said, "I'm sorry Sheriff. I just wasn't strong enough."

After Stefan dropped off Caroline and Charlene back at their houses, he took Megan back to the job fair. She turned to face him as he dropped her off at her car. She opened her mouth to speak but Stefan cut her off.

"You saw what happened tonight, right?" He questioned, his voice soft. Megan flashed him a gentle look as she touched his shoulder to sooth him and he didn't make a move to remove it, at least not at first. He stepped back from her, causing her hand to drop at her side, and he crossed his arms. "I mean, you understand why we can't be together?"

"I've always understood, but I don't care. I want to be with you despite all of that, but you don't. You just want to walk away." He didn't say anything, and she sighed heavily. "Come on, I'll give you a ride home."

He shook his head. "Uh, I can get home."

"I know you can, but I want to give you a ride home. I'm taking no for an answer." Megan told him.

Stefan stared at her for a moment before slowly nodding with a soft smile. "Alright. That'd be nice."

She smiled back as she got into the front seat of her car. Once Stefan got in the passenger seat, she drove off to the boarding house. It wasn't too long of a drive with Megan's driving. She pulled up to the driveway and shut off the car, but they didn't get out of it. Megan sat in the silence, but she didn't say quiet for long as she broke the silence.

"About earlier…the thing I said about you leaving was harsh… I was just angry." She informed him softly.

"No, no. You had every right to be." Stefan reassured her, glancing over at her.

"So…you asked me what I wanted my future to be…" she started off. "I didn't give you an answer because I don't know what I want it to be. I do know that I want you to be apart of it. And I know you think you put all of these bad things in my life, but you didn't. Bad stuff would happen even if you never showed up here, Stefan. That's life. Sometimes you just gotta take it as is and live life to the fullest and damn everything else." She looked up at him to find him staring down at her.

He didn't say anything, and she waited for him to speak. Finally, he did.

"I know that it's…that it's hard to understand, but I'm doing this for you."

Stefan got out of the car and Megan was quick to follow. She wasn't going to let him get away this time. He was already up the driveway, walking towards the house.

"No!" Megan snapped harshly. He stopped. "I'm not letting you walk away, Stefan Salvatore. You don't get to do that again. You don't get to choose how I live my life and if I want you in it, I'll be damned if I ever let you go! The reason why you want to walk away, it has nothing to do with me but everything to do to you, because I know what I want. Stefan, I love you. I love you so much that it hurts. And if you love me like you say you do, then don't walk away. Please." Megan's eyes welled with tears. "Don't leave me."

He didn't turn around and she stared at his back, her eyes begging him not to walk away. But he didn't as he finally turned around with tears in her own eyes. Before she could say anything else, Stefan quickly walked over to her and grabbed her face, pulling her into a passionate kiss.

Megan kissed back, tears dripping down her cheeks, happy he didn't walk away. She deepened the kiss as they headed towards the boarding house doors, still kissing each other. He pushed her against the wall of the house for a moment as his fingers ran through her silky black hair. Megan moaned, tugging his face closer. He didn't keep her pressed against the wall for long and he pulled her back, so they could finally go through the doors.

Inside, Megan pulled of the scarf she had on and tossed it to the ground before running her hands through Stefan's hair. His large hands were still around her face and his thumbs stroked her jawline.

"Mm…" she moaned.

Suddenly, he stopped kissing her. Megan groaned in response as she breathed heavily. Stefan's breathing was just as heavy, and his face buried into her shoulder. Megan stroked the back of his head for a moment before he pulled away completely from her and he turned around, so she couldn't see his face. It must have been changing. Megan tried to turn his head back towards her. She wanted to see him. Vampire face and all.

"Don't Stefan." Megan soothed.

"Megan, I can't…"

"You can. I want to see you. You don't have to hide from me, Stefan." She whispered, finally getting him to look at her. His eyes were red, and the veins still crawled towards his eyes. Megan wasn't scared because she knew he wouldn't do anything to hurt her as she traced the veins under his eyes and she could feel him starting to calm down. So, with that, she brought his lips back to hers.

Letting the kiss last for a few minutes, Megan pulled away, but he didn't let her stay away for long as he pulled her back into a kiss. His face was back to normal. Megan smiled into the kiss and she pulled away again as her eyes met his. Breathing softly, she took a hold of his hand to lead him up the stairs. They only made it to the landing as they kissed each other again. Keeping their lips pressed together, Megan allowed him to pick her up and her legs locked around his waist.

He brought her up to his room, laying her down on the bed before climbing on top of her. Her hands slid up the back of his shirt and he lifted himself up briefly, so she could slide it off of his torso. Then he started on her clothes, taking them off one by one. Megan moaned at his touch as his hands slid over and over her bare skin. Her moans only grew louder when he got her bra off, cupping her breasts.

"Stefan…" she panted, titling her head back as his heated kisses went down her neck. Her hands stroked his back, feeling his taut muscles. His lips only went further as his mouth found her breasts and he took a nipple into his mouth. Her fingers gripped his back, her nails digging into his skin. Oh, it felt too good for words.

Her body tingled with pleasure. The intensity of it all sent her senses into overdrive and the air crackled with her powers as all the lights in the room came on. Stefan must have heard the click on and he released her nipple to look at her.

"Sorry…" Megan panted again. "That…that hasn't happened before…"

"It's okay…" he told her softly, gently kissing her again.

She nodded as they continued to have their first time. Her panties came off and he was finally inside of her, causing her to gasp in delight. She gripped his back tighter as he started to move inside of her. Pleasure filled her face as they made love…and it was amazing.

Logan Fell left the warehouse and headed to his car. He stopped in his tracks near his car when he heard something from behind him. He turned around to look, however, there was no one there, then he looked again, and someone was there now. Alaric Saltzman, well not that he knew it.

"Who are you?" Logan asked, confused.

"A friend of Jenna's." Alaric responded, looking intense.

"Jenna sent you?" Logan said but made it sound like a question, instead of a statement.

Alaric shook his head, still looking at him, dead in the eye. "No, I came here on my own."

"Ah, I get it." Logan said, and he smirked. "Well buddy, I know that you think this makes you brave. But it actually makes you pretty stupid."

"Either way, here I am." Alaric countered back.

Logan just stared at him unflinchingly. "What do you want?"

"Jenna's a good person." Alaric responded, not actually answering his question. "She deserves the best. Here to make sure that she gets it." The last part answered Logan's question.

"Was that supposed to be a threat?" Logan circled around Alaric menacingly until he was in the spot that Alaric once was, and he continued. "Couldn't you throw a punch? Maybe provoke me a little?"

Alaric chuckled. "I'm not a violent guy by design."

"Well, you're not a very smart guy either." Logan stated intensely.

"How's that?"

Logan turned around so that his back was facing the other man. Unknown to him, Alaric had slid out a small stake from inside of his shirt.

"Because you have no idea who you're talking too." Logan threatened. He whirled around with his vampire face on and went to attack him. But as quick as taking off a bandage, Alaric stabbed Logan straight in the heart and the news reporter fell to the ground with the stake sticking out his chest. His skin greyed and he was still as he was effectively killed.

Alaric hovered over Logan's body before quickly leaving the scene.

Megan sighed in contentment as she snuggled against Stefan while they sat up in his bed covered in the blankets. She now had his shirt on and nothing else. She didn't even want to get up from this spot, or from this moment. As they laid there, Megan realized something.

"You know, I just realized I've never been in your bedroom before." She said, playing with Stefan's fingers and let hers lace with his. "Not that I'm complaining, it was worth the wait." She titled her head up to smile at him.

He smiled back, kissing her forehead and using his free hand to stroke her hair. "Hm, well it hasn't changed much over the years."

"Mm…" Megan straightened her head and smiled to herself. "Do you just leave your stuff here when you leave?"

He continued to stroke her hair as he spoke. "It's the only place that…that has remained constant. This room holds every memory I've ever thought that was important enough to hold onto."

Megan smiled again and snuggled into his chest. He kissed the top of her head gently.

"And there's definitely going to be a lot more of them…" she mumbled lovingly, turning her head to kiss his bare chest before looking up at him. He kissed her forehead again.

"Yep. Are you thirsty or anything?"

"Sorta. What about…" Megan was about to ask him the same thing before realizing it was a stupid question. "Nevermind…" she muttered embarrassed.

He just laughed, knowing what she was going to ask. "I'm fine. Let me get you something to drink, okay?"

"Okay. Thank you." Megan smiled. She knew she was smiling too much but she was so happy right now.

He kissed her, and she kissed him back. It was a brief kiss but still just as good as their other ones. He climbed out of bed. Megan stared after him as he left the bedroom, unable to believe what happened between them. She relaxed on the bed, smiling brightly. She stayed on the bed for a while, then got up to explore Stefan's bedroom. She was interested in what all he had in here.

Megan's fingers trailed over the books on Stefan's bookshelf before she moved over to a table. Something on there caught her eyes and she gasped in shock.

What the hell?

It was three pictures and on them, there was her, Elena, and Charlene, but it wasn't them… Written down below were three names.

Abigail Pierce, 1864. Demetria Pierce (wait wasn't she supposed to be related to Emily Bennett), 1864. Katherine Pierce, 1864.

Megan grabbed the Demetria picture with a shaky hand. Her free hand went to her mouth. This was not happening.

She dropped the picture and ripped her necklace from her neck, placing it down on the table. Then she quickly got dressed. After she finished, she ran out of the room and rushed downstairs just as Elena and Charlene ended the boarding house. Megan barely even paid attention to her as she ran past her two friends.

"Megan!"

She ignored them as she got in her car and drove off. She needed to get out of here. Before she knew it, she was driving down the highway, barely paying attention to where she was going. Her vision was blurry with tears.

Why did she look like Demetria? Why did Abigail and Katherine look exactly like Elena and Charlene? It was impossible! Sure, she believed in impossible things, but this was one, she couldn't wrap her mind around!

Megan finally snapped into attention when she noticed a man in the road. She screamed as she slammed on her breaks and the man crashed into her window. Before she could stop it, her car flipped over, causing her to be stuck in her car. Megan struggled, trying to get her seatbelt off, but it was no use. Fear hit her all at once as the man stood up and slowly started to approach her...
