An Impulsive Decision

You've been on the run with Stefan, a few other vamps you'd picked up along the way, and your boyfriend Damon.

Fear holds you in place as you hear something outside. You and Damon are hiding in a little shack with tools, right on the edge of a little town. You know they've come for you. Why does an original want you?

"They think you're a human doppelganger."

Damon had told you three years ago when you started running.

"They are here to kill you, and I'm here to take you away."

Apparently Klaus had another curse to break and he needed you to play your part. Something that was definitely not part of your nature, and so you ran. Like this Katherine everyone talks about, you ran. Luckily Klaus doesn't know who your family is, and so they're safe. Which is better than your doing right now.

"She can't be that far, I reckon she's playing a little game of cat and mouse. The cat always gets the kill Y/N, unless your names Jerry."

Klaus jokes.

Damon gives you a look, one that says that he'd do anything to protect you. You know this look and fear it. Usually it means he's about to do something irrational, most likely getting himself killed. "No, Damon no. Stay here. We can slow him down with these tools if he comes in here. Please."

Just before you can say anything, You can hear Stefan calling out from somewhere in town.

"You're never gonna catch her "Tom"".

Klaus laughs.

Stefan! What are you doing!

These Salvatore brothers were going to drive you crazy always putting themselves in front of targets for you

"You picked the wrong side my dear friend. It's a pity you've chose this pathetic human over your powerful Superior. We could have worked together, you know. Expand our horizons, build a country in which we control, or better yet, I could become king of the world, in which vampires could run free. It's a shame you had to waste your raw talent on some human."

Damon grabs your hand and moves toward the door, peeking out of a near window. You walk outside and see Klaus with his back to you. He's down in a cornfield with Stefan on the other side. You know this is your one chance to escape with Damon, but you can't leave Stefan behind.

"Her name is Y/N. At least know her name, before you sacrifice her for your benefit. And she is the kindest person I have ever known. There is no way that you'll ever get a hold of her. I will personally make sure of that."

And he sure does. Stefan is always standing up for you, he is the best friend, you could have ever asked for. The same guy who had found you in a alley with a vamp leaning over you, ready for an evening feast. Who had saved you more times than you could count. The guy who worked so hard on controlling his blood addiction every day.

The guy who valued human life so much that he had went out of his way to find you, protect you, and keep you out of Klaus' prying fingers.

You almost cry at the thought that he was bravely willing to face death, so that you could live another day. You brave idiot

"Then this might come as a disappointment, but you are of no use to me then. I'm sorry it had to come to this mate. It's been an honor to know you."

Klaus says.

Just then everything around you breaks into chaos. Stefan and his vamp friends ambush Klaus and his hybrids, using wolfsbane grenades, wooden bullets, and lots of vervain weapons. Damon pulls you away, far from town, covering your mouth to keep you quiet. You stop in a clearing in a peaceful forest.

"He'll be okay, my brother is smarter than he looks, but I need you to stay here, where it's safe, so I can help him."

"I'm going with you."

"Like heck you are"

Damon was jokingly teasing you. Yesterday you had brought up a conversation about swearing. Your parents hated it, and so you told him to clean up his language for their approval. He then started emphasizing substitute words to get under your skin.

You roll your eyes. "You know I'm not letting him risk his life for me. I'm going to be there. C'mon you know I won't stay here."

Using his vamp speed, Damon grabs rope out of his backpack and ties you to a tree.

"I love you Y/N."

He kisses your forehead, and with that he's gone.

"Damon!"

You could kill that man if you didn't love him so much. He never listens to you when it comes to safety. But you'd all be safer if you stuck together.

Being stubborn, you grab a stick that you use to push your backpack over to you. Reaching in with your one free hand, your hand clasps on the cold metal of a dagger.

It only takes you 2 minutes to break through the ropes, a new record. You open up your backpack and pull out a crossbow, 15 wooden stakes on a belt that you attach around your waist, 2 grenades, one wolfsbane, and the other vervain, and a white stake crafted from the original white oak tree, that you snuck from Damon's things.

You're on your way, being careful not to step on any sticks as you go. You're just about half way their when a hybrid jumps out of no where.

"Here piggy piggy piggy."

Within a flash you throw a grenade and turn to run in the other direction. The explosion knocks you off your feet and you struggle to get up. The shadow of a figure blocks the sun above you and your eyes take second to adjust.

A hybrid smiling big, standing over you. You've been caught.

"Lookie what I found! I might be ranked top commander for Klaus after this."

His hands go to bind you with rope when suddenly this stream of anger burst through you. You are not going to let Stefan or Damon get hurt, not if you can help it. They're family. The course of energy explodes through your bloodstream and out of your fingers.

Within a second the hybrid goes from being 7 1/2 feet tall to a small black cube, as if his body has been compressed into a tiny space, instantly killing him. It looked like an accordion closing in on itself, until it was unrecognizable.

You sit up and look down in shock at what's left of the hybrid, and pick it up in your fingers.

Did I just do that? Am I a witch?

You put it in a small container to ask Damon later, and continue your pace towards town. When you finally make it out of the trees, the sight is horrific. Town homes are on fire, the corn field you had seen earlier is completely flattened. The shack where you and Damon had been in, is in splinters, and debris is everywhere.

"Stefan!? Damon!? Anyone!?"

No response.

Where did they go? Did the fight continue somewhere else. Or... Oh no, what if I find their bodies?

You cautiously look around trying to prepare your eyes for what you might see. Lying in a heap, grey skinned and staked, is one of the vamps Stefan recruited. She had just curved her cravings last week with his help, and here she was. Dead. Tiffany was dead.

Because of you.
