Seventeen

Candice was walking to Elena's house since she went for a jog when Damon appeared in front of her. "Are you heading to Elena's?"

"Yeah, but why are you even asking?"

"I think Stefan is in danger." Damon tells her. "He went hunting, but never came back."

Candice pulled her phone out and texted Elena to see if she heard from Stefan. She waited to see that Elena told her that he wasn't there and showed the phone to him. "So, where is he?"

"I think I know."

Candice watched him leave and knew that there will be a mission to save Stefan. Where ever he is at. She continued her way to Elena's to tell her more of what Damon thinks of what is happening to Stefan.

Arriving at the school, Elena was asking Alaric to help them. "Alaric, Damon said they have a human that owns the house. You are our only choice." Candice said. "I would do it..."

"No." Damon tells her.

"I have to agree with Damon." Elena said. "I can't lose my best friend."

Candice looked at Alaric awaiting for his help. Once he finally agreed, Candice was gladly to walk out with Elena. "Do you have to take the fun out of everything?"

"No, but I would like to have my best friend though." Elena said. "Damon's reason is still unsure why he doesn't want you to help."

"I wished I knew."

Candice saw they have arrived at the house Damon said Pearl was living in. Damon watched as Candice got out and grabbed her. "You are not helping." He tells her. "You are to stay with Elena and wait for us to get Stefan."

"I want to help. He is my best friend."

"I don't care." He tells her. "If anything happens to you... just stay by the car, Candice."

Elena knew why Damon didn't want Candice to help and smiled. He fell in love with Candice Forbes. That made her happy to know that Candice is the reason Damon can change, but she doesn't know is that Candice had Damon all figured out. "Your not going to listen to him, are you?'

"Do I ever listen?"

"No."

"There's your answer."
~~~
Candice left to find Stefan as Elena stayed put. Elena was going to try to lie for her, but if someone who has been lied to before will know if she is lying. Candice saw some vampires. "Shit." She said as Damon killed them. "I'm dead."

"I thought I told you to stay by the car."

"You should know that I don't listen to people." She tells him. "Now lets get Stefan and leave."

Damon rolled his eyes and the two started searching till they have found him. "Stefan." Candice said as Damon hissed. "Vervain?'

"Yes." He said.

"Give me a knife and I'll do it." Candice tells him.

Damon gave her the knife as she started cutting Stefan free. He went to kill the other vampire in the room to hear Stefan tell him not the vampire. "Get him to the car."

"Okay." Candice said as she helped Stefan. "Let's go."
~~~
Elena saw Candice struggling to keep Stefan upright. She got of the car and ran over to help them. "What happened?"

"Vervain should be a good answer." She said as the went to the car.

Candice didn't know what happened as she was pushed against a rock knocking her out. Elena looked at Candice and ran to her. She dragged her to the car before help Stefan. "Come on."
~~~
Candice woke up and grabbed her head. "Ouch." She said as Elena walked in. "Is Stefan okay?"

"I think so."
