Entry 4

I was sitting on one of the picnic tables outside of Mystic Falls High School waiting for Elena to arrive. Just the thought of seeing her again caused a thread of anticipation to arc through me.

I spotted her starting to walk across the front lawn toward me, and started to rise to meet her, when Matt Donovan joined her. I sat back down and tuned my hearing so that it dulled all the other conversations going on around me, while Matt and Elena's became louder.

They were discussing Matt's sister, Vicki. I could hear the concern in Matt's voice as he updated Elena on his sister's condition. I heard the relief in Elena's voice when she told Matt she was glad Vicki was going to be okay.

I was relieved too, but a little confused, and a lot concerned. Damon might toy with his victims a bit before he killed them, but he never let them live. My brother was up to something, and only time will tell what his end game was.

"Vampire?"

All thoughts of Damon fled from my mind as I heard the word fall from Matt's lips. I could see the shock on Elena's face as Matt informed her that his sister had told him she was attacked by a vampire.

"What? Really?"

Elena's incredulous exclamations made Matt laugh, but I didn't laugh. I had to go see Vicki. I had to make sure she didn't tell anyone else that a vampire had attacked her.
