Hi everyone! Here I am with a new part of the story, chapter 10, where I tried to put most important parts and things like that. Like always, thanks for the responses. But I wanted to know if you have any doubt or questions about the story, characters, the dialogues. Or if the story and the parts are fine, some feedback. So feel free to leave comments or anything. Enjoy!
The characters and the plot are property of Julie Plec and the tv show team, I own the characters I created and the changes I made in the story.
Normal POV
Logan was standing outside the Gilbert house talking to Jenna and was trying to get her to invite him in, but she simply wanted him not to bother her again since thanks to the email "Logan" had sent her, she was angry. He tried to persuade her but she slammed the door on his face, then Logan walked up to a girl walking by and bit her.
The next day at the Salvatore boarding house, Stefan walked into the living room and found Damon looking out the window, so he just stared at him.
-Do you have any idea where you're going?- he asked the older man, staring at him curiously.
-I don't know, maybe London to visit friends- he answered while he kept looking at the garden.
-You don't have any friends Damon- he replied, he didn't remember that he had any friends beside them.
-You're right Stefan, I only have you and Caroline- he said as he moved away from the window and turned to look at him- So, where are we going?- he wanted to know this time.
-We are not going anywhere. I'm gonna live my life as far away from you as possible- the younger vampire clarified without wanting that, since his brother always followed him everywhere.
-But we're a team! We could invite Caroline and travel the world together, the three of us living together like we haven't done for a long time. We could compete in "The Amazing Race" and the blonde would be our cheerleader- Damon suggested, smiling as he walked towards him.
-That's funny, considering that Caroline wouldn't want to go with us- he assured him knowing their sister and the older guy just nodded- Seriously, where are you going? Because at least you and I are not staying here- he added, they had told the heretic their decision that morning and she was irritated. Then the doorbell rang and they found Sheriff Forbes who went to see Damon.
The sheriff explained him that they had found a murdered woman, who by the bruises was the victim of a vampire, much to the brothers' surprise. She kept explaining that maybe the vampire he'd killed had turned more vampires, and they wanted his help so they could fix that problem soon, before raising suspicions.
At school, Caroline was walking down the hall with Matt and they were talking about the movie that they had seen at the girl's house. The blonde seized those moments to distract herself of her problems, like the ones caused by her brothers or the weird things in her life, like the 'dream' she had during the accident with Emily when she couldn't leave the house.
Caroline remembered walking to the sofa because of the dizziness but didn't remember falling asleep, atopening her eyes and sitting up she saw that she was in her living room and in front of her was her grandmother. She was a little surprised to see her because her grandmother only appeared when it was necessary and she had no choice but to interfere, or when she wanted to intervene, but for Caroline it wasn't like a big occasion for her to appear, although to others it apparently was.
It turns out that her ancestors, who were always watching over the 3 siblings, had decided to make her sleep until Emily left Bonnie's body. Since none of them knew exactly what the witch's plan was and they had seen her get too close to the heretic, they'd decided to lock her up in case until she was 'safe'. According to her grandmother, they didn't want anything to happen to one of their descendants if they could help it, and it was more possible to protect her.
Caroline had tried to explain them that she was powerful and could take care of herself from Emily, even if she was very strong, mostly because the blonde had been alive longer and had more practice than the witch. Though none of her ancestors, not even her grandmother, listened to her complaints so she could only agree to sleep, and after a while she had woken up in her living room.
Moments like that reminded her of how weird her life was, but being with Matt made her feel normal and she liked that. They walked into their class, unaware that they were being watched by Elena and Bonnie.
-I heard they were hanging out together- Bonnie explained surprised, as did Elena.
-It's a bit weird, don't you think?- she commented as they walked down the school hallway.
-Yes. Matt is very nice, but at least she seems like a good person. Let's hope that she's not a homicidal vampire like Damon- admitted the witch a little uncomfortable at the mention.
-Yeah. And how are you doing with all that?- she asked worried about her friend while looking at her.
-I'm freaked out. Damon attacked me, I could be dead right now. But I thank Stefan, he saved my life. Have you seen him?- the younger girl wanted to know, thinking what had happened between them.
-Not since he told me that he was leaving. For all I know, he's already gone- exclaimed the older girl irritated at the vampire's decision, as she took off her scarf and walked to her locker.
-He wouldn't leave without saying goodbye. Besides Caroline is here, wouldn't she go with her brothers?- she insinuated confused by that fact as she walked following her friend.
-He told me that Caroline hasn't lived with them for a long time, she kind of likes her space. And yes, he would leave, Stefan thinks he's protecting me. Clean break and all that- the brunette told her while looking at her slightly and she took out the books for her next class.
-And what are you gonna do?- Bonnie asked curiously as she kept staring at her.
-What am I supposed to do? I've already begged him not to go, if I do it again it's selfish. It is what it is- she said resignedly, closing her locker and walking back down the hallway.
-Maybe it's for the best- hinted the witch trying to comfort her, but her friend stopped suddenly.
-What? Why?- questioned Elena, puzzled by the younger girl's statement.
-I mean, what kind of future could you have with him, even if he stayed?- her friend inquired a little worried about her. Elena stared at her for a moment and then they went to their class.
Back at the mansion, Damon said goodbye to the sheriff after speaking to her and entered the house, then Stefan approached him at vampiric speed and grabbed him by the shirt against the door.
-What is wrong with you? You killed somebody?- Stefan questioned him angrily, he had tried to eavesdrop on the conversation and he couldn't believe that his brother had attacked someone again.
-Get off of me- Damon ordered moving him- A: don't touch me. B: if I had, I wouldn't have been so obvious- he went on enumerating as he passed by him and turned around to look at him- And C: there's another vampire in town- he revealed seriously before that possible problem.
-That's impossible- exclaimed the younger one worried. It was not possible that there was another vampire in town, and Caroline was always careful if she fed on humans.
-Obviously not- clarified the older vampire, turning around again and heading for the living room.
-Then, who could it be?- he asked, thinking of possible vampire suspects.
-Ah, what do we care? We're leaving anyway, right?- he insinuated without looking at him. They were leaving the town so they were out of danger, besides that he couldn't think of anyone who could be a vampire.
-No, we can't leave now and you know it. Caroline is still here and we have to protect her, she's our sister- Stefan reminded him looking at his back, they couldn't abandon her like that- And how do we find this person?- he asked hoping that he had a plan.
-You're right, we can't leave her- affirmed his brother, he'd forgotten about her- Let the adults handle this, Stefan- he answered him and went into the living room leaving his brother thoughtful.
At school Tyler and Matt were talking about the latter and the 'Salvatore girl', as Tyler called her. At first he had been really attracted to the blonde and wanted to be with her, but she always turned him down so he decided to forget her, plus she seemed boring to him. Tyler didn't want his friend to go out with her, mostly because he would surely end up controlled by her.
After talking to Elena about the new vampire, Stefan went to tell Caroline the same thing. The heretic, surprised like they were, promised to try to find out something on her own and would tell them anything, but her brother made her promise to be careful. After assuring that they would also be careful he took his leave. Then the younger girl got a call from Damon to help him with a plan he had and they met outside the school.
Damon's plan was simple, but he had a problem. He told her about the Gilbert compass and how it signaled the vampires, and all they needed was a way to use it without it detecting them and he was waiting for her to come up with an idea to solve it.
-I have an idea- told him the heretic after looking at the compass for a while- What if I use a spell so we can hide from its power? It might work- she offered staring at the vampire, who nodded- Alright, give me your hand- she asked and closed her eyes as she muttered something.
-Ready?- asked Damon impatiently, seeing her nodding- Let's see if this works- he said while he took the compass and they saw that it wasn't pointing at any of them- Okay, let's go hunt vampires- he affirmed as he smiled sideways and they went to follow the compass.
-Could this be the place?- Caroline wondered after they walked around town for a bit, until they ended up standing outside a warehouse that looked abandoned.
-Good, you can remove your spell now- Damon clarified looking around and the youngest one removed it, then he put the compass in his pocket- There, now get out of here blondie- he ordered, staring at her.
-But I'm helping you with the vampire. You know that I'm useful to you despite what you say- she complained about his order. She didn't expect him to kick her out just like that after helping him.
-I know you're useful, but you're also my little sister so I'm not gonna drag you into this- the older vampire reminded her with a serious look on his face. One thing was to ask for her help in locating a vampire and another was to put her at risk by confronting someone they didn't know.
-But Damon, I want to help you. Please- she looked at him with tender eyes hoping he would let her. She thought it was nice in some way that he was trying to take care of her but she didn't want to leave him alone either.
-No Caroline, I'm older than you so listen to me. Also I'm sure that it's a baby vampire, I can handle it- replied the vampire again without her puppy eyes having any effect on him. After a few glances Caroline sighed and nodded, and then hugged him.
-Fine, but take care of yourself, okay? And let me know as soon as you are safe- she asked as they looked into each other's eyes and Damon nodded after they parted, making the heretic leave.
Damon entered the warehouse looking around and trying to hear something when he was shot, he complained of the pain and fell to his knees, then Logan Fell appeared telling him that there were wooden bullets. Logan began to accuse him of turning him since he couldn't remember who had done it, then revealed to him that he knew that his siblings and he were vampires, and explained how his days had been while Damon was trying to get the bullets out of his body.
Elena was at the school career fair talking to Matt about their childhood without seeing that Caroline, still worried about Damon, enter the room. The blonde at seeing them couldn't help but use her vampire hearing and heard quite clearly how they started talking of her, rather how Elena asked him about them and Matt assured that they were just friends. So, uncomfortable and a little upset she left the room. Then Elena ran into Stefan.
Meanwhile, in the warehouse Logan was still questioning Damon about being a vampire after he had shot him a couple of times and the other had been cured.
-Why am I so overly emotional? I just think about my ex-girlfriend, I just wanna be with her, bite her neck and that- asked Logan crouching down close to Damon to get a closer look.
-Well, you probably love her. Everything you felt will be magnified. You have to learn how to control it- explained the older man while sitting on the ground after some of his wounds had healed.
-What about walking in the sun? I'm a morning person. You can walk in the sun, which by the way is pretty cool, no one suspects you. That's not in the journals- admitted the younger one still looking at the other, without noticing that Damon was squeezing his hand with his daylight ring and covering it with the other one.
-The journals?- he repeated a bit interested in that detail, perhaps important, that he had said.
-Yeah, from the Founders, who then passed them down to their kids. Come on man, you gotta tell me. How is it that you walk under the sun?- the former journalist asked him again seriously.
-Who turned you?- the older vampire questioned again without relenting.
-How do you walk in the sun?- he insisted without moving from the place and without stopping staring at him.
-Who turned you?- Damon kept dodging his question non stop.
-You know, I've been really nice but I will kill you- warned the younger to then stand up and raise his gun to point it at Damon, who followed him with his eyes.
-Then you'll never know. You didn't answer my question- he clarified, getting up as well.
-You first!- Logan shouted angrily, still pointing the gun at him to get him to answer.
-It seems we're at a dead end, doesn't it?- the vampire insinuated without showing weakness. The baby vampire looked at him for a few moments thinking about what to do until he came up with an idea.
-I have things to do, people to kill. Guess I'll need a little head start- out of nowhere Logan commented and then shot Damon some times, that fell sore on the ground and and watched as Logan looked at him for a moment and then left the warehouse.
After walking away from Matt, Elena stood looking at the stalls at the fair followed by Stefan.
-You know, I wanted to be a doctor before everything happened. But, uh, I couldn't...- Stefan started to say.
-Because of the blood- suggested the brunette looking at one of the stalls and the pamphlets on the table.
-Yeah. I've tried a lot of this stuff- he commented while he smiled slightly at the table.
-Nothing that was made permanent?- she asked curiously walking away.
-No, I loved it all. But I had to move so that no one would notice that I wasn't getting older- the vampire explained with a certain melancholy as he thought about what he'd done, while he followed her.
-How long before that would happen?- inquired the girl without looking at him, thinking about what he said.
-Usually a few years, sometimes less- he clarified looking at her fixedly, analysing what she was doing.
-And you always left?- questioned the younger girl looking up at him, curious about that part.
-I didn't have a choice- he admitted resignedly and the girl looked away- And what about you? What are your plans for the future?- asked Stefan curiously, smiling slightly.
-I don't wanna talk about the future Stefan. Because everything that you're saying makes me see that you're not gonna be in it- Elena admitted with frustration as she turned to face him.
-Elena, it's not because I don't wanna be in it- the vampire replied with some seriousness.
-You can't, I get it. I heard you the first time and second time, and I appreciate you looking out for me, but please, if you're gonna leave then just go- declared the brunette staring at him fixedly. But before he could answer, Jenna entered the room asking them to hide her from Logan, to Stefan's surprise who went out into the hallway to look for him and approached him when he found him.
-What are you doing here?- Stefan asked directly after the girls moved away from them.
-You know, your brother asked me the same thing. In fact, why don't we skip the part about who turned me and tell me what I want to hear? How can I turn into a day walker?- Logan replied, looking at him as he smirked slightly.
-My siblings and I are the only ones I know who do it- lied the older one without showing any kind of weakness to him, determined to see that he wasn't a problem.
-And you two don't reveal your little secret, so it must be possible. Listen, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm a celebrity in this place. It would be very, very easy for me to expose you- threatened the youngest one without wiping off his smile, hoping he would understand that the best thing to do was to help him.
-You want to know how we walk under the sun?- asked Stefan after looking at him quietly for a second.
-That's right- affirmed the youngest one erasing his smile, believing that he was going to tell him everything.
-You can't. Don't ever threaten me again- warned the vampire seriously to look at him for a few more moments and then he walked away from him, while Logan thought about what to do.
Elena asked Jenna not to talk to Logan again and left her with Alaric, with whom her aunt got along very well, and went to look for Stefan, whom she found outside talking on the phone.
-What happened? Are you ok?- asked Stefan talking to Damon, who was in the mansion.
-No, I'm not ok. I was ambushed, I was shot. And now I'm vengeful. Just got to find him- he explained very annoyed while he was changing his shirt in front of the mirror.
-Well, there's no need, he's here at the school- he revealed as he noticed Elena far away from him.
-Are you kidding me? Why the hell is he there?- Damon questioned confused at that part.
-Mingling with the crowd- he replied, not understanding much about Logan either.
-Well, I'm on my way. And tell Caroline to stay away from him- ordered the oldest guy and then cut the call. Stefan saw Elena near him and he started to call Caroline, who answered instantly.
-Hi Stefan, what's up?-asked the blonde as soon as she picked up, waiting for news from Damon.
-Logan Fell is the vampire and he attacked Damon- he told her and quickly took the phone away from his ear.
-What?! How is Damon? Where is he now?-she demanded to know worried and almost screaming, and he put the phone near again, thinking it was a good idea.
-Calm down. Damon is fine but he's in revenge mode and he's coming to the school- Stefan assured her to relax a little while he looked at Elena for a moment.
-Well, I'm at the school, where are you? I'll fin something and I'll be right there-she asked and the vampire listened as she walked, surely she was going to get her things.
-No, Logan is here so you stay where you are or go home- he ordered her, he didn't want to put her at risk and Logan tried to attack her too- Logan wants to know how we walk under the sun, he tried to interrogate us so you go away- he repeated seriously and worried.
-Why won't you two let me help you today? Come on Stefan, I want to help-she pleaded, after another denial from her other brother, she sighed and added-Fine, I'll go straight home, I promise to let you know when I get there-accepted the girl with a resigned tone making the older one sigh.
-And let me know when you get out of school- added the guy and cut the call, and looked at Elena who was waiting for answers. In the meantime Logan had talked to Sheriff Forbes who called her backup, but after that Logan went for his third attempt at answers about the sun, hoping he could get a solution since he also had something that could maybe help him.
After gathering her things, Caroline was getting out of the school. She was about to let Stefan know that she was leaving when she felt someone watching her. She looked around confused when she saw a car near her, and when she looked inside she found Logan Fell.
-Hello, you're the Salvatore girl, Caroline- he greeted her smiling as she looked at him cautiously.
-You are Logan, my brothers already told me what you want- affirmed the older one very serious.
-Yes? Then you'll be smarter than them and you will tell me what I want to know- the vampire insinuated, he only hoped she wasn't as stubborn as her brothers.
-I'm very smart, that's why I won't tell you anything- she replied in a cold way, and with a threatening tone added- And I assure you that if you keep bothering us, I will make you suffer so much that you will beg for mercy- Logan wasn't going to admit it out loud, but the blonde's threat intimidated him a little. With no other choice, the vampire decided to use his plan B, and got out of his car after he took something from there.
-All right, I won't bother you anymore. But I'll keep trying to get what I want- he informed her, and when the girl looked at him confused he quickly pulled out his gun, which he'd attached a silencer, and shot her in the shoulder. When the blonde girl was distracted by the pain, he grabbed her arms and pulled her in the direction of his car, the heretic tried to fight despite the wound but he managed to sit her in the passenger seat. Logan, tired of her fighting, shot her in the leg to close the door and he went to the driver's door.
Despite the pain, Caroline could give him an aneurysm as he entered the vehicle. Logan, clutching his head in pain while he groaned and closed his door, pushed Caroline's head to shut her up, causing her to crash hard against the glass making a small wound that left a trickle of blood on the glass and knocked her unconscious.
Feeling the pain go away, the vampire looked at her and taking tape he had in the car put it on both her mouth and hands in case she woke up and started the vehicle. What they didn't know was that the moment they spoke was seen by Matt who got away before the shot.
Stefan and Elena were walking through the halls of the school when they came across Matt.
-Matt, have you seen Logan Fell? The news guy?- Elena asked him after stopping him.
-Yeah, he was talking to Caroline in the parking lot- he answered looking at them for a moment and left, leaving Stefan very worried about his little sister.
-Stay here- ordered Stefan to a nervous Elena and left while he took out his phone.
Stefan had called Damon, who was nearby and assured that he'd mercilessly kill Logan for touching Caroline. The younger guy was using his vampiric speed to get to the van that he found at an intersection and pulled Logan out of the car by throwing him into the street. The vampire, that was on the phone with Sheriff Forbes, stood up when out of nowhere Damon appeared shooting at him causing him to fall again.
-Payback's a bitch, isn't it?- he retorted angrily, he'd been so enraged when Stefan told him he had his sister that he wanted to tear him apart himself. He looked at his brother who went for Caroline- How is she?- he asked worriedly as he covered the phone.
-I think he hurt her a few times. He tied her wrists and taped her mouth- answered Stefan as angry and worried as he took the tape off and checked her- I think that she's waking up so I'll take her home- he told him, when Damon nodded he lifted her in his arms and with vampiric speed carried her away. After talking to the sheriff, Damon got near Logan.
-I'm gonna ask one more time- Damon began after taking an iron bar from Logan's car- Who turned you?- he asked again, moving the bar as if he was going to use it.
-I told you I don't know- reminded the youngest vampire still lying on the ground.
-This tire iron could take your head off. Is that your final answer?- inquired the older one after looking at the object in his hands and looking back at the man in the street.
-Why do you team up with them?- asked him the other vampire curiously.
-I don't team up with anyone. You pissed me off, I want you dead. Who turned you?- he insisted while he stared at him, annoyed by what he had done to him and his sister.
-I don't know- Logan shouted still staring at Damon, seeing what he was going to do.
-All right, you're dead- declared the older guy, and swung the bar about to hit him in the head.
-Wait, wait! I do know- said the baby vampire suddenly, making him stop.
-You're lying- Damon insinuated, not believing what he was saying.
-You think that you're the only one who wants to get in the tomb underneath the church?- he revealed while he sat down on the ground and slowly approached him, thinking that maybe with that he could save his life.
-If you're lying to me, I swear I will kill you- the older man threatened, unable to believe what he was hearing.
-I am not lying. There's another way to break the spell, we can help you. Meet me at the church- notify Logan staring at him, thanking he could convince him. Then they both heard the police sirens approaching where they were.
-Hit me, make it look real. Make it look real- ordered the older vampire leaning a little towards Logan, who nodded to then push him against the car and run off using his new vampiric speed. Then Sheriff Forbes appeared and asked him what happened.
-I'm fine. But I'm sorry sheriff, I just wasn't that strong- he lied still on the ground.
Stefan left Caroline, who was tired and upset, at her home and promised her that they would see each other the next day, and returned to the school meeting Elena that asked him about the blonde. He explained to the brunette that his sister was fine but furious and hoped that they would kill Logan after causing him pain for hurting her, and then Elena offered to take him home.
After arriving at his home and talking, the vampire got out of the car with Elena chasing him while she said that if he walked away it was by his own decision because she loved him. After a moment of hesitation the vampire got near her and kissed her making them go into the house without separating, then he felt his face changing and pulled away from the brunette, who lovingly touched the veins under his eyes and kissed him again. When his face was normal again they went to Stefan's room, that started to get rid of both of their clothes as they lay down on the bed.
After leaving Damon, Logan returned to the warehouse to go to the church when he was surprised by Alaric who wanted to confront him. The vampire turned his back for a moment and approached him quickly to attack him, but little did he know that when he turned around, Alaric took advantage and pulled a stake out of his jacket, since he knew Logan was a vampire and drove it through his heart killing him. The surprised human just left him there and walked away.
At school, Tyler approached Matt to ask him for a ride and after accepting, Matt took the opportunity to tell his friend that he liked Caroline, that there was something about her and her special way of being that he liked, so he wanted Tyler to stop that annoying attitude towards the girl and what they may had, what his friend accepted calmly and they left.
Elena was happily waiting in bed for Stefan who had gone to get something to drink, and she took the chance to explore the room. Then she found a picture of Katherine and was puzzled by their resemblance, so with teary eyes she left the picture in its place and left.
Damon had gone to check on Caroline, who was sleeping peacefully in her bed, and headed to the church to wait for Logan to talk about the tomb, but got a call from the Sheriff Forbes, who thanked him for taking Logan down since he was found in the warehouse dead and ended the call, leaving the vampire in complete shock.
Stefan happily went back to his bedroom with a glass of water, but he couldn't find Elena anywhere, then he saw Katherine's picture next to Elena's necklace, he took both things and looked around worried. He hoped that the girl wasn't angry after learning the truth.
Elena was driving her car down a deserted street while crying after discovering Stefan's secret. Out of nowhere someone appeared in the middle of the road, making her slam on her brakes but this person hit her windshield, causing her car to flip over. Elena ended up trapped in her seat as she watched the person she had hit get up and walk towards her.
And that's all for now! Well, this chapter wasn't really hard to rewrite. I just added a few details and the rest was remade, I did check it several times but it was worth it.
I left the 'kidnap' Caroline scene because it was necessary, and to show that Stefan and Damon do care a lot about her even if they don't show it as much as she does. I think I'm showing right that Caroline cares deeply of them by protecting, supporting and caring of them, but if not then please let me know. Also I added the 'Salvatore ancestors' here, their mention is very little but they play a part in Caroline's storyline, later they'll be explained better.
Again, thank you for your responses, I'm glad the story seems good. But leave any response you want, here's the summary of the next part. See you!
Chapter 11 - Bloodlines
Elena and Damon go together to Georgia to visit a friend of the young man named Bree, who gives the vampire a new piece of information about the tomb. Stefan tries to help Bonnie with her problem while being watched over by Caroline, who remembers details of her past.
