First, I had to deal with the new "original" vampire, and now there's a new witch in town. Apparently, she knows about my reputation. God! This town attracts every supernatural creature!
After that girl left the grill, I went back to my seat with Elena. She looked just as worried as me.
"Who was that girl?", Elena asked in a scared tone.
"I have no idea. But if she knows Damon, she must be trouble." I stated in a stern voice. "Come on." I gave Elena my hand to help her stand. She took it and stood up.
"Are we going to Damon?" Elena asks.
"Tomorrow. I'm taking you home."
"What? Why?"
"Elena, you were just kidnapped! The safest place for you to be right now is home." I said, crossing my arms.
"The safest place would be with you." Elena says, pouting.
"No, the safest place is where no vampires can enter without being invited. That means your home." I state, but Elena looks at me still sad.
"Look" I say as I grab her face "I promise you, I will call you tomorrow and we will figure out who that guy was and this Kalle girl. But right now I need you to get some rest. Ok?" She shakes her head and then I kiss her on the forehead.
"Come on let's go." Elena grabs my hand and we head out the grill.
The next morning, I got out of bed, not being too excited about the day ahead. I heard two voices downstairs, and I assumed my brother had brought another one-night stand over. However, this voice sounded familiar. I put on my shirt and went downstairs.
That's when I saw the girl who had helped keep Elena captive, sitting in my living room. Without hesitation, I vampped over to her and held her by the neck.
"What are you doing here!" I scream in her face with anger. She then makes me let go of my grip on her and reverses the situation, making me pinned against the wall with her hand around my neck.
"It is not wise to go against a vampire much older than you." She stated with an accent. "But I am not here to hurt anyone." She released her grip on me just as Damon walked into the room.
"Good. You've met our guest." Damon stated, holding a bottle of bourbon.
I rub my neck to conceal the pain. "What is she doing here, Damon?" I ask irritatedly.
"Relax, little brother. She's going to help us with our Elijah problem." Damon says smugly.
"How?" I say, with a confused look.
"Because I know why Elijah wanted Elena, and you guys have no chance against him or Klaus."
Who is Klaus? I ask. His name sounds familiar, but I can't remember it at the moment.
"One of the original vampires, like Elijah." She states, looking worried. "I would recommend getting your girlfriend here too; she might want to hear this."
I looked at her confused, but took out my phone to start dialing Elena's number.
I'm pasting back and forth, trying to understand that the world's first vampire in existence wants to take Elena. I then hear a knock at the door, but see Damon already heading to it.
"Hello, Elena." I hear Damon say.
"Is Stefan here?" Elena quickly replied. "He called. Said it was something important."
"Right this way." I hear her coming inside, so I make my way down the hallway.
"Hey", I say with a sort of sad tone.
Elena took a deep breath and looked down. "What's this about?"
Rose walked in behind me, and I could see the surprised look on Elena's face.
"You." Elena stated, looking angry, then she looked back at me with the same look. I tried to give her the 'just listen' look. She took a deep breath and we all headed to the lounge area.
I grab a drink before I sit down. I sit on the chair, Elena sits on the couch. Damon leans on the chair across from me, and Rose walks in front of the fireplace and starts talking.
"Okay, you have to understand: I only know what I've picked up over the years, and I don't know what's true and what's not true. It's the problem with all this 'vampire' stuff, but Klaus, I know it's real." Rose states as she walks back and forth.
"Who is he?" Elena states, crossing her arms on the couch.
"One of the originals, it's a legend." Damon stated.
"The first generation of vampires." I continued with a drink in my hand.
"Like Elijah?", Elena questioned.
"No, Elijah was the Easter Bunny compared to Klaus." Rose quickly stated and Elena looked shocked. Rose continued, "He's just a foot soldier. Klaus is the real deal."
"Klaus is known to be the oldest." I remember reading about something related to the original vampires.
"Okay, so you're saying that the oldest vampire in the history of time is coming after me?" Elena asked, confused.
"Yes" "No" Rose and I state together.
"What they're saying is, I mean, if what she is saying is true-" "Which it is." Rose said, cutting off Damon.
"And you're not just saying this so we don't kill you-" Damon says judgmentally, and Rose cuts him off again, "which I'm not" Damon continues, "then we are looking at a solid. Maybe." He says, uncertain.
Elena shakes her head and looks down worriedly. I try to cheer her up. "Look, Elijah's dead, so no one else even knows that you exist." I say as I get up from my chair and walk towards where Elena is sitting.
"Not that you know of," Rose says bluntly. I give her a short glare, and Damon states what I'm thinking: "That's not helping."
I continue to try to make the situation better and talk to Rose. "Look, I've never even met anyone who has laid eyes on him. I mean we're talking centuries of truth, mixed with fiction." I say, not convinced. I then look back at Elena. "I mean we don't know what's real for all we know he can be some sort of bedtime story." I say with reassurance, but Rose keeps butting in.
"He's real." Rose says, confident and certain.
I turned to look at her. "And he doesn't give up. If he wants something, he gets it. If you're not afraid of Klaus, then you're an idiot."
"Alright, we're shaking." Damon says sarcastically. "You've made your point."
I look at Elena, who looks worried. She then gets up and starts to leave, but I stop her.
"Where you going?" I ask.
"School, I'm late." She says.
"Let me grab my stuff, I'll go with you." I say as I get off the couch.
"That's ok. I know where it is." I shook my head and let her go. I watched her leave, knowing in the back of my mind that what Rose said might be true.
"She's in denial." Damon says nonchalantly to Rose, and I turn around.
"Shut up, Damon." I stated rudely. But then I started to think about that girl at the grill. "Actually, I have something to ask you."
"Didn't you just tell me to shut up?" Damon asks with a smirk.
"I'm serious." As I walk closer, I ask if he knows a new girl in town named Kalle.
"I meet a lot of girls, Stefan. You're going to have to be more specific." Damon stated, and Rose rolled her eyes.
"She has a British accent, is a new witch in town?" I put my hands in my pocket and continue talking. "She came to me and Elena yesterday thinking she was Katherine and she said that she met you earlier, which is how she knew my name."
"Ohhh yes. That perky British girl. Yeah I met her while I was feeding and she saw me."
"What do you know about her?" I asked, wondering.
"Not much. She didn't really give many details about her life, and you know how I always love the secretive ones." Damon says, smirking.
"Yeah, whatever. Did you talk much about me?"
"All I said was that you were my brother Stefan. I hate to break it to you, but you're not the main topic of my conversations."
"Then how did she know about me being a ripper?" I asked, wondering how she knew about me. Damon looked at me a little surprised.
"Maybe she heard about you, Stefan. You were wildly popular during your ripper days." Damon shrugs his shoulders.
Rose started to look at me with a confused expression, but I ignored it. "My 'ripper days' were in the 1860s and Kalle certainly doesn't look any older than twenty; she couldn't possibly have been alive back then. So, brother, please tell me how this girl knows about my past."
"I'm sorry, did you say Kalle?" Rose asked.
"Yeah. Why do you know her?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.
"I'm not sure, though her name sounds familiar."
"Well, there must be many Kalles in this world, so there is a good chance that you have one." Damon states sarcastically.
"Kallandra. That was her full name. I remember Katherine mentioning that name before and I think she was also a witch." Rose states coming to a realization. "But that was a very long time ago, so it cannot be the same girl."
"What if this girl is an ascendant of Kallandra?" I ask.
"There is a possibility she may be." Rose states.
"Why does it matter, you most likely might not even see this girl again." Damon states.
"With our luck, I wouldn't take the chance. I don't trust this girl and she may be as big a threat as Elijah or this supposed Klaus."
"Trust me, whoever this girl is, there's no way she's as big a problem as Elijah and definitely bigger than Klaus." Rose declares.
"Let's hope you're right." I state as I begin to walk out the room.
