The Turning Point~2

Mystic Falls High School
The career fair is in full swing at the school. Liz walks into the main room in full uniform. Richard walks up next to her.
Mayor Lockwood:"So what do we know?"
Sheriff Forbes:"Nothing new to report." Richard groans. "My highly reliable deputies are all on alert, but if you feel the need to be more proactive, by all means, grab a stake and have at it."
Mayor Lockwood grabs a cup of coffee,"What extra precaution can we take?"
Sheriff Forbes:"For right now, there is nowhere safer than a crowded public place, and for once, Mayor, we actually know where our children are."

Tyler is flipping through some sketches in a gaunt notebook. Jeremy walks in and looks over at Tyler. Tyler looks up.
Tyler:"What do you want?"
Jeremy:"Hey. Uh, I'm just surprised to see you here." He walks towards Tyler. "Art usually implies culture and culture implies, well, not you."
Tyler:"Go to hell."
Jeremy smirks and looks down at the drawing Tyler was stopped on. Tyler is the one who drew it.

I walked up to Jace,"You still want to be a superhero?"
Jace:"I can't believe that you still remember that."
Nevaeh:"Yeah, I can remember the red and blue uniform you used to wear and you called yourself 'Kid Danger'."
Jace:"I was nine."
Nevaeh:"How are you doing?"
Jace:"I've had it easy. You? I heard some things." Caroline enters the room and sees Jace talking to me. "So it true that you and Stefan..."
Nevaeh:"Yeah, it is."
Elena exits the room quickly, clearly upset.

Jace Norman as Jace Donovan

(Back to the story)
Nevaeh:"What about you, Jace Donovan? I heard about you and my sister."
Jace:"Aw, man, not you too."
Nevaeh:"Hey."
Jace:"We're friends." I looked up at him skeptically. "It's not a big deal."
Nevaeh:"No?"
Jace:"No."
Jace and I stared at each other for a moment. I turned my head and saw Stefan standing in the doorway. We stared at each other and Jace looks at Stefan, clearly jealous.

Warehouse
Logan:"Why am I so overly emotional? All I can think about is my ex-girlfriend. I wanna be with her and bite her and stuff."
Damon:"Well, you probably love her. Anything you felt before will be magnified now. You're gonna have to learn how to control that."
Logan:"What about walking in the sun? I'm a morning person. You can walk in the sun which, by the way, is pretty cool." Damon flexes his hand with the daylight ring on it and hides it with his other hand. "The council will never suspect you. That's not in the journals."
Damon:"The journals?"
Logan:"Yeah, the founding fathers, they passed down journals to their kids. Come on man, you gotta tell me. How can you walk around in the sun?"
Damon:"Who turned you?"
Logan:"How do you walk in the sun?"
Damon:"Who turned you?"
Logan:"You know, I've been really nice so far but I will kill you."
Logan stands up and points the gun at Damon.
Damon:"Then you'll never know." Damon stands up. "You're not answering my question."
Logan:"You first!"
Damon:"It seems we're at a bit of an impasse then, doesn't it?"
Logan:"I have things to do, people to kill. Guess I'll be needing a little head start."
Logan shoots Damon a couple of times. Damon groans and falls to the floor while Logan exits the warehouse.

Mystic Falls High School
Stefan and I are leaning against a wall, facing each other.
Nevaeh:"I'm guessing your not here to plan the path to your future." I paused. "You're just looking out for me."
Stefan:"Hope that's ok."
I didn't respond and I just walked over to a table, looking at the career pamphlets set us. Stefan walks over to me.
Stefan:"You know I wanted to be a doctor before everything happened, but uh, then I couldn't, 'cause..."
Nevaeh:"The blood."
Stefan:"Yeah. I've dabbled in a bunch of different things, though."
Nevaeh:"Didn't love it enough to stick to it?"
I moved in to the next table booth with Stefan right behind me.
Stefan:"No, I...I loved it all. I just...I had to move on before anybody could notice that I wasn't getting any older."
Nevaeh:"How long before that would happen?"
Stefan:"Few years, usually. Sometimes shorter."
I finally looked up at him,"And you always left?"
Stefan:"I didn't have a choice." I looked away and Stefan smiled. "So, what about...what about you? What are your, uh, plans for the future?"
I looked back up at him again, frustrated,"I don't want to talk about my future, Stefan. Because everything you're saying is making it perfectly clear that you're not gonna be in it."
Stefan:"Nevaeh, it's not that I don't wanna be in it."
Nevaeh:"You can't, I get it. I heard you the first time and the second time, and I appreciate you looking out for me but, please, if you're gonna leave, then just go."
Jenna walks into the room and approaches me and Stefan.
Jenna:"Hide me."
Nevaeh:"What's going on?"
Jenna:"The scum Fell has landed."
Nevaeh:"Logan's here."
Stefan was surprised,"Wait, Logan Fell?"
Jenna nods. Stefan goes out into the hall and spots Logan. Logan looks over at him and waves. I walked out into the hallway to talk to Stefan.
Nevaeh;"Stefan, what's going on?"
Logan approaches us as well as Jenna, who comes out of the classroom after me.
Logan:Jenna, are you dodging me?"
Jenna:"It's a form of self-preservation."
Stefan:"Um, Nevaeh, why don't you and Jenna go somewhere else?"
Stefan looks at me, significantly. I looked at him understandingly.
Nevaeh:"Let's go, Jenna."
I grabbed Jenna's hand and head her away from Logan and Stefan, quickly. Logan watches us leave and turns to face Stefan.
Stefan:"What are you doing here?"
Logan:"You know, your brother asked me the same thing. In fact, why don't we skip past all The Who turned me crap and get the answer that I want? How can I turn into a day walker?"
Stefan:"Damon and I are the only two that I know of."
Logan:"But you're both very cagey on the how, which tells me that there is a way. You know, in case you hadn't noticed, I'm quite the celebrity in this town. It would be very, very easy to expose you."
Stefan:"You wanna know how to walk in the sun?"
Logan:"I do."
Stefan:"You can't. Don't ever threaten me again."
Stefan walks past Logan.
