Elena was out for a jog that afternoon. the sun was setting and there was a nice breeze blowing. She always felt very relaxed when she jogged. She liked exercising as a way to relieve stress. And that's exactly what she was, stressed. Stefan thought she was at home. he would be so against her going out and going for a run by herself but she felt like she needed to. He was doing everything he could to make her feel better about everything going on with Katherine and it was working to a certain extent. But there was still that worry, that fear of what was coming next. it wasn't just her in danger either. it was Stefan, and Damon and Caroline, Bonnie, Matt, jeremy, it was everyone that Elena loved. At least everyone that Katherine knew she loved. Katherine was relentless and didn't care who she hurt as long a she got what she wanted...Stefan. That bothered Elena so much. His ex girlfriend was in town trying to claim him back. Elena knew it wasn't going to work though. Her and Stefan were to in love and she never had to question if he would be running back to her. He loved Elena and only Elena and made that very clear to both girls. This didn't make Katherine very happy though.

Elena ran along a sidewalk and looked up as she saw a huge storm cloud moving over her head. She figured he should start heading back. She turned around to run home and saw a man walking in all black along the sidewalk. Elena was scared about anything these days. She looked at him for a minute as he continued to walk towards her and she walked backwards, then she turned around and ran the other way away from him. She turned around periodically and he had picked up the pace into a go, jogging after her. Elena started running faster and turned and looked and he was running faster after her. Elena's phone was in her hand because she was jogging to music. She unlocked her phone and called Stefan frantically as she ran and ran but he didn't answer. Elena turned around to see where he was just as it started storming and the sun was gone and it suddenly became very dark. She didn't see the man behind her anymore. She stopped running and started turning in circles, looking for him with a frantic look on her face. She was looking behind her, wondering what the hell all that was about and why he acted like he was chasing her. She shook her head, figuring she was just on edge and worried about everything around her. She turned around and ran into someone and looked up and it was the same man who now had her by the arms in a death grip. "Good evening" He said with a creepy smile and Elena tried to break her arms free but couldn't. She wasn't strong enough. Elena saw his face turn and knew he was a vampire about to feed on her. She screamed loudly as he sank his fangs into her neck and made a good dinner out of her. She heard the thunder as another guy came running up, pushing him off her. She hit the pavement, to weak to run and the guy bit into his wrist and put it to her lips, feeding her. He brushed her hair back as he apologized and in a blur, he was gone.

Elena looked around frantically and realized it was now only her, laying on the street while it poured rain on her. She slowly stood up and felt her neck which was now healed. She wiped the blood off of her mouth and her neck that remained. Her head pounded but knew it was just from the blood the man gave her, as she's been fed before. Elena wasn't far from Stefan's house and ran over to the boarding house quickly. Elena got there and didn't even bother knocking a she ran through the door, soaking wet to find Stefan in the den. As she got inside the house she closed the door and turned to lock it. As if that would do any good against a vampire wanting in. There was a new vampire in town who was feeding on people. Stefan hated that and she knew that he would want to know. Elena bent over and knew Stefan was probably worried. She put her hands on her knees and lifted up her hand, pointing her index finger up as if to tell him to hang on a moment as she caught her breath. She stood up and looked at him as he was now standing in front of her. "We have a problem" She managed to get out.

[Stefan Salvatore]

It had been a relatively quiet morning, which Stefan was grateful for. He had written a little in his journal. Okay, so it was a diary, sue him. It wasn't like he had any other way to deal with everything that was going on and writing just helped to keep him calm. It was better than destroying the house whenever he was upset or something. Besides, it was like he had told Elena: memories were too important to forget. Well, some memories anyway. There were some memories he'd rather not think about. But that was the thing about living for over a century: you tended to remember a lot of things, whether you wanted to or not. Normally he was pretty good in pushing his memories back, but with the return of the woman who was responsible for a whole slew of his memories, the vampire was finding it pretty hard to drive out those particular memories.

His thoughts were interrupted he heard frantic footsteps and the smell of human blood. Whoa. What's going on? he wondered. Someone had just fed. He could smell it. And ohh, the the blood smelled good. But it was also fading as if someone had tried to mask it. Then Elena burst into the boarding house and he was immediately at her side as she said that they had a problem.
"Did someone feed from you? Who did this?" he asked. This is bad. This is really bad, he thought to himself. He didn't like knowing what had happened to her. There was a strange scent on her, which meant that there was a new player in town and they already had a whole lot of those. What was he supposed to do? He didn't know what to do.

OOC
Sorry this is kind of short. I'll try to make the next one longer.

Elena jumped back a little when Stefan was suddenly at her side. She was thankful though. She needed him. She was scared. She didn't know exactly what just happened or what was going to happen, or who that even was. She grabbed Stefan's hand for some extra comfort and pulled him in a hug as she took in deep breaths, catching her breath. She just wanted him right now. She had been so scared running from that other vampire and scared he was going to kill her. Stefan was comforting to Elena. Any time she was with him or even around him. He had a way about him that always soothed her. She buried her face in his chest as she closed her eyes and let him hold onto her. Elena took in a deep breath, ready to tell him what had happened but her attention was quickly directed toward the door.

She watched as her doppleganger walked in and Elena simply closed her eyes and sighed a little. She didn't want to deal with her right now. She listened to her and watched her as she walked past the couple and into the foyer. Elena looked back up at Stefan with a look of concern on her face. They hadn't listened to Katherine. She said she didn't want them together anymore but Elena and Stefan had ignored her and continued to see each other. Of course they would. They were crazy in love and didn't want anyone else. They had made a pact that Katherine wouldn't come between them and that was exactly what they were doing, NOT letting her come between them. Elena turned her head towards Katherine as she kept an arm around Stefan from their hug a minute ago. "What do you want katherine?" She said softly. They didn't have time for this. There was someone else in Mystic Falls that was dangerous obviously. She hadn't even told Stefan yet that the other vampire had healed her with his blood, she didn't get a chance to tell him anything.

[Stefan Salvatore]

Almost as soon as he asked the question, he heard the door open and turning, he saw Katherine walking in.
"We really need to put a human in charge of this house," he spat out. If they had that, unwanted vampires---like Katherine---couldn't just walk in like they owned the place. But unfortunately, there wasn't anyone he knew that could take care of the place. He then watched with narrowed eyes as his Sire approached them, saying that Elena was right when she said that they had a problem, adding that she had thought that she had made it clear that they were to stay away from each other, asking if she needed to remind them of what she had told them previously. even as she moved into the foyer. I don't want her here. She's always ruined everything, he thought to himself.
"I don't let people play head games with me. Not anymore," he bit off before he could help himself. But right now, he didn't care if his darkest secret got out. He just wanted Katherine out of his house. "Now get out of my house, Katherine, before I throw you out," he growled. Okay, yes, this was incredibly stupid, but he didn't care. He was sick of her trying to control everyone around her and he wasn't about to start playing any of her games.

As Elena asked Katherine what she wanted, Stefan maneuvered himself so that he was in front of her protectively.
"To play games. It's the only thing she ever wants. It's all she knows," he responded, as he went to protectively push her back even further, though he knew such an action was pretty pointless as the other vampire could just use her powers to zip past him, but he wasn't going to take any chances. He'd do whatever he could to protect Elena.

Elena watched Katherine as Stefan told her he doesn't play head games anymore. She knew Katherine did though. Katherine was relentless and would do anything to get what she wants. Katherine didn't care who she hurt or killed as long as in the end, she had what she wanted. And Elena knew what katherine wanted and it was nothing else but her own boyfriend standing next to her. It bothered Elena how bad Katherine wanted Stefan and how serious she seemed about getting him but Elena knew Stefan and she knew he wouldn't let her get between them.

Elena found herself swallowing hard as Stefan threatened Katherine to leave. She knew she wouldn't. That would be too easy for her. Elena knew Katherine had a plan up her sleeve and she wasn't ready to leave. Elena looked over at Stefan as he explained that she was there to play games and that's all she ever wanted. Elena willingly took a few steps back as Stefan moved his hand in front of her. They both knew how dangerous this brunette vampire was and didn't want to take any chances. Elena knew Stefan couldn't take katherine right now but he could put up a damn good fight because he had been drinking Elena's blood and slowly becoming stronger. Elena gave Katherine a look when she said she had to be concerned for him. "No offense Katherine but that's not really your job now is it?" She said cocking her head to the side. Stefan's safety was Elena's concern, his girlfriend. Not Katherine's.

Elena's mouth opened slightly and she raised an eyebrow as Katherine threatened Elena. Elena looked at Stefan and then as soon as she heard her say someone could be dying right now Elena shot her head back to look at Katherine. "What?" She said in a very airy tone like she didn't believe her or couldn't believe it. Then she continued to say she could call Aunt Jenna that she could need CPR or be dead. Elena took in a quick sharp breath. "No..." She said shaking her head looking at Katherine. She quickly pulled out her phone and turned around, walking away from the two a little. She called Jenna and Jeremy answered the phone. He said Aunt Jenna walked into a knife and they were at the hospital but she should be okay. Tears hit Elena's face quickly as she dropped her phone to the floor and turned around to look at Katherine. Elena charged over to her and shoved her as hard as she could which wasn't very hard. "HOW COULD YOU!!!!" She screamed at Katherine. She knew she couldn't take the vampire but that wasn't running through her mind right now. She was acting on anger. Katherine hurt Elena's family and almost took away their very last guardian. She was hurt and the tears on her face showed that.

[Stefan Salvatore]

Stefan growled at Katherine as she answered Elena, saying that she knew what---or rather who---she wanted, and then asked if her if she was slow.
"You're asking the right question of the wrong person. I'm not into you Katherine. Not anymore," he told her. Oh sure, when he had been human, he had felt an attraction to her and had latched onto her as a distraction from what was going on in his life, but that had been a mistake. Katherine hadn't loved him at all. She had just been playing with him and Damon. And everyone in this room knew how that worked out.

Then his eyes flashed as his Sire continued on, repeating what he had said about head games and telling him that she was just visiting him because she was concerned about him as was her nature and he let out a scoffing last.
"Oh please. You don't care about anyone but yourself," he stated. Then as Elena said that it wasn't her job, he watched as the other vampire went over to their alcohol stash and inhaled it before sitting down, telling him to stop being rude as it wasn't his nature. "And how would you know what's in my nature? You were too busy compelling me and shacking up with Damon," he spat out. Okay, whoa. He was not mad at Damon when it came to this. Damon had nothing to do with this. This was all Katherine. She was the one who had ruined everything.

Then, Stefan let out a huff as Katherine said that she loved how he thought that he knew her and that he didn't though he could.
"I know you enough to know that I never should've gotten involved with you even though I was desperate," he spat out. Really? Who did she think she was kidding? There was no way he wanted to get close to her any time soon. Then, he refocused his attention on her as she reminded them of what she had told them about not wanting them together, telling them that there were several ways things could go from here, that she could hurt Elena or Stefan, and then turning to Elena, saying that she should call her aunt Jenna as she could be needing CPR or in a coffin. Before he knew what was happening, Elena had rushed rushed at Katherine, going to shove her, asking her how she could do what she had done. "Elena, hold on! She's not worth it! She's not worth it!" he exclaimed, materializing at her side and going to pull her away from his Sire. "'Do as I say or there'll be reprisals'. Wow. If I closed my eyes, I could swear that this was eighteen sixty-four all over again," he spat out. Wow. He really needed to shut up before he ended up spilling his darkest secret. But he couldn't help it. Katherine's whole "You better do what I say" attitude was bringing up all of his old resentments and he wasn't sure if he could keep himself from losing it

After Elena charged at katherine she quickly regretted it. The strong vampire twisted Elena's arm causing Elena to bend to the pain at her knees and a slight moan passed Elena's lips from the pain as she closed her eyes and tried to pull away but she had too much of a grip on her. Elena opened her eyes and looked at Stefan. the look on her face was basically pleading for help. Elena had heard Stefan shout at her that she wasn't worth it right after she charged her twin but at that moment, she had been. She hurt Elena's family and nothing in the world meant more to Elena than family and anyone who knew her, knew that. That's why Katherine used it against her and it worked. Now she was at Katherine's disposal. She had went along with her little plan and didn't even know it. Her plan worked. She got Elena upset enough. She listened as the two went back and forth.

Meanwhile her arm was throbbing in pain and she was pretty sure it was broken as she pulled even further on it. Elena heard Katherine threaten Stefan to watch the love of his life die right in front of his eyes. "Stefan..." She said in a raspy voice as she looked to him. Her eyes were filled with tears that were an instant reflex from the pain she was feeling in her arm. Elena felt Katherine let go of her arms and they went limp but she was about to run over to Stefan when she felt Katherine's hands on her head. Elena took a gasp of air in right before she snapped her neck and she fell to the ground near Stefan's feet.

Elena didn't have the chance to tell Stefan that a vampire fed her his blood right before she ran over here. That was why she came over but katherine had rudely interrupted them. She knew Katherine didn't know either. How could she? and Elena knew for sure that Katherine didn't want her around forever now. That was the last thing she wanted. She wanted to kill Elena to get her out of Stefan's life so she could swoop right in. But this time, it wouldn't go in her favor and neither of them knew that as her lifeless body lied there.

[Stefan Salvatore]

Before Stefan knew what was happening, Katherine had grabbed Elena, pinning her arms as she asked her if she had thought that she didn't know what they had been doing, and then turned her attention to him, saying that she didn't care about anything but herself and that he hadn't truly loved her and had been compelled, adding that he didn't have things figured out like he thought he did and that he only loved her Doppelganger because she looked like her.
"Were you this delusional as a human, or is this a recent thing?" he asked. There was no way he was in love Katherine! That had died long ago. Why was she so obsessed with him? Why couldn't she be obsessed with Damon? Damon was the one who wanted her, why couldn't she be happy with that?

Stefan fidgeted nervously as Katherine continued, saying that he had loved her once which meant that he still did love her and that maybe he'd love her enough when he saw the love of his life die before his eyes just as she had and that he had no idea how she had felt when she had seen him lying on the ground after his and Damon's attempts to rescue her. Wha---she saw---? he thought to himself. He hadn't known that Katherine had seen him and Damon being killed. He gave himself a mental shake as he realized that the other vampire's hands were holding his girlfriend's head. "NO!" he shouted just as she twisted the girl's neck, resulting in a loud SNAP! With a growl, he headed for them, intending to grab and toss Katherine across the room. "Get out or so help me..." his emotional threat ended with another growl as he went to cradle his girlfriend's lifeless body. It was over. Katherine had won. He truly had nothing now...

[Stefan Salvatore]

Stefan's eyes flashed angrily as Katherine stated that Elena was bound to die sooner or later and that it was better that she died sooner and that perhaps it would bring him some closer. As he growled, Stefan could feel his features changing even as he went to lunge at her. She had just killed the only girl he had ever loved and who loved him back for who he was despite knowing what he was. He wasn't going to let the older vampire get away with this! When she said that they'd see each other soon, he just wanted to rip her to shreds even though he knew that he wasn't strong enough to do so.
"If you value your life, you won't come near me because I will kill you," he told her, giving her a warning growl. Really? She thought that he'd want to see her after pulling this kind of crap? She's gone insane, he thought to himself. That was the only reason he could come up with of why she would think that Katherine would believe that he'd still be into her. But then again, in a twisted way, it made sense. Katherine was all about power games and she had displayed the ultimate power: destroying his happiness.

As soon as she said that she loved him and always had, Stefan lunged for Katherine again. She thought this was love? But why not? Everything else about her was twisted, so why not her view on love? Giving himself a mental shake, he turned back to Elena, his eyes clouded with pain.
"I'm so sorry," he whispered. I can't believe I got her killed, he thought to himself. How could he have been so stupid? He should've known better...

Katherine had repeated over and over again that she loved Stefan. She obviously had no idea what real love was though. If she did she wouldn't want to see the one she loved hurting like Stefan was right now. She would never want to cause the one she loved pain like the pain she had just caused Stefan. Katherine wasn't capable of love. She never was and probably never will be. Elena and Stefan never talked about Elena becoming a vampire. It was just something they never discussed. Of course she wanted to be with Stefan forever. She loved him and wanted an eternity with him of new experiences.

But she had family to think about. She had Jenna and Jeremy. She couldn't do that to Jeremy. She was just about all he had since they lost their parents. Katherine snapped Elena's neck and just like that it had been over. Neither of them knew that Elena died with vampire blood in her system though. Elena was lying lifeless on the floor, leaving Stefan to just hold her dead body. Elena's eyes went wide and she drew in a big deep breath, almost like a gasp as she woke up. She looked up at Stefan as he was holding her and she grabbed his arm. "What happened?" She said looking around. As she said that she remembered.

"She killed me?" She said as she started sitting up. As she did her body gave out again and she went limp as she grabbed her throbbing head. Her neck hurt bad and she felt a needle like pain in her head. "Katherine killed me?" She said again trying to piece together what happened in her mind.

[Stefan Salvatore]

Stefan was so immersed in his thoughts that he almost didn't hear it when Elena let out a gasp. However, her grabbing his arm and asking what had happened caught his attention.
"What!? How the---?" he gasped. Oh, damn. Someone fed her vampire blood? Who? he thought. Who would do this to her? Who would take away her choice? Damon? No. Not him. He of all people wouldn't do this to her. He knew what it was like to have his choice in the matter taken away and the younger Salvatore was certain that his brother wouldn't do this to the girl he had feelings for.

His expression grew grim as she asked if Katherine had killed her.
"Yeah. Yeah, she did," he confirmed, his voice hardening. And he was going to kill her. He'd drive the stake through her heart himself. Okay, he had to stop thinking like that. He had to think of Elena. She was obviously freaked out---not that he could blame her. "I don't think she was expecting you to come back though. Who fed you their blood? Was it Damon?" he asked. If that was the case, he wouldn't get mad at his brother since it had been the very thing that saved his girlfriend's life, but he'd like to know who---if not Damon---had supplied the blood for her. "Okay. You're going to be okay. I, uh. There's uh---there's some blood bags in the cellar. And uh---I can take you hunting in a bit," he stammered, trying to focus his thoughts. The blood bags wouldn't be enough to hold her and she needed human blood to complete the transition. Think. He needed to think. Think!? How could he think when his girlfriend was in transition?

Elena started sitting up as Stefan was still trying to put together what just happened. Elena looked down at herself and down at her hands. She brought her hands to her neck and put them around it as she felt the pain in it. She turned and looked at Stefan as they sat on the floor. "Am I...Am I dead?" She said started to realize what all of this meant. Tears quickly hit Elena's eyes as she started shaking her head. "No no no no...this...this wasn't supposed to happen, I can't be..." She said as she shook her head and tears rolled down her face.

Stefan asked her if Damon did this to her and she shook her head. "No that guy from earlier..he attacked me then someone came up and fed me his blood before I knew...Stefan....what does all of this mean?" She asked. She knew exactly what it meant but she wasn't thinking clearly. Elena looked away from Stefan and saw a light and it stung her eyes bad. They seemed to be really sensitive right now. She closed her eyes as tears fell from them. Elena heard Stefan and she cried harder, almost sobbing as he said he would take her hunting. She shook her head. "No...no no no" She said screaming out. She didn't want this to be real. It couldn't be real. She wasn't supposed to die. She wasn't supposed to be a vampire. "I can't do this Stefan" She said lowering her voice. She started shaking as she looked at her boyfriend in his eyes, she took a deep breath and just looked at him. "Why did she do this to me..." She said in a very pitiful and very very soft voice as she whispered to him. Elena moved her body as she rested her head against Stefan's chest. She needed him. She needed some comforting and she wouldn't want anyone else's but Stefan's. He had been there for her through thick and thin and she needed him. She wrapped her arms around his muscular body as she cried in his chest, resting the rest of her body on his stomach and between his legs as she almost let her body go and collapse into his. That's how bad she needed him.

[Stefan Salvatore]

Stefan stared at Elena worriedly as she asked if she was dead.
"No. You're in transition," he responded, as he helped her to sit up. Maybe he had been a bit blunt in his answer, but he had figured that she wouldn't want him to sugarcoat things. Then, his eyes shone with anguish as realization came over her and she shook her head, saying that it wasn't supposed to happen and that she couldn't be turning, though she didn't finish the sentence as she had started to cry. "I'm sorry. I am so sorry," he apologized. What had he done? This was all his fault. He should've just done what Katherine had said. Sure, he would've been miserable, but at least Elena would still be human. I can't believe this is happening. How could she do this to us? he wondered. He didn't---he didn't know what to do here. A part of him wished that they could be human again so that he could ask Damon for help, but a larger part of him knew that this was impossible. He wasn't a little boy anymore and he couldn't go to his big brother expecting him to make everything okay. Besides, even if Damon could think of a solution, it wouldn't do any good. Nothing about this was okay. How could it be? He had just watched his girlfriend die and then come back to life.

He then listened as she told him that it hadn't been Damon but a vampire that she didn't know who had fed her his blood after being attacked by another vampire. At her question of what it all meant, he shrugged helplessly.
"I don't know," he answered truthfully. What did it mean? Why would someone feed Elena their blood? Had they known that Katherine would try something? And if so, why hadn't they warned him or Damon? It was just all so confusing. Then, his stomach clenched as she started crying harder and screaming after he said that he'd take her hunting. It was obvious that she didn't want this life. Maybe she had never had. And how could he blame her? A lot of times, being a vampire meant nothing but misery and pain. You had to watch everyone you ever knew grow old and die, which was painful, and if it was too painful, you were tempted to turn off your humanity and to just be a lesser version of yourself. At least...that's how he saw it. At her admission that she couldn't handle the thought of transitioning, he closed his eyes briefly. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to do," he told her. Seeing that she was starting to shake, he reached out to pull her close to him, hoping that she'd allow it. As she leaned and placed her body against her chest, she asked him in a soft voice why the other vampire had done this to her. "To hurt me," he answered. "Katherine is...she's someone who likes power games. People like her are all about control---keeping others in line. One of the ways they do this is to take something someone cares about and then destroying it in front of them," he explained. And he had switched to third person point of view. But he had to. It was the only way he cope. He had been hurt again. What had he done to make people want to hurt him? He tried so hard to do the right thing, so why couldn't he just be happy?
