Gifted (Vampire Diaries Fan-fiction)

I shouldn't have-Chapter 19

Elena POV

     I quickly run from the edge of the forest into the city. I needed to find Stefan, quick. I didn't trust to leave Brianna on her own, no I trusted her, but the thing was that she still didn't know anything. She didn't know her strengths, her weaknesses- I feel myself stop at the thought. We needed Bonnie to get her a daylight ring, although Bonnie seemed kind of off right now all I could hope for was that she could do it. If not Brianna was stuck in the house until we could find a way to get her a ring, and trust me after a few days of being locked inside you tend to go a bit crazy.

     I quickly cross the city and just as I'm setting foot on the Lockwood's property figures blur past me. They past by me so quickly that by the time I look back there's not a single person in sight.

"Stefan?" I gently call out. I get no response other than the wind howling in the distance. What's going on? I think to myself. I look at the road and then I turn to look at the Lockwood Mansion. Something inside me was telling me to follow those figures yet I felt a pull towards the Lockwood's home at the same time. I take a deep breath. Using my vampire speed I'm at the Lockwood's front door in the blink of an eye. I open the door and step inside. I quickly take in the scene in front of me.

     Glass and flowers from a broken vase lay shattered on the floor, there's blood on the wall. My eyebrows knit together. I head towards the blood and I feel the back of my throat begin to tickle a bit. My fangs elongate a bit and I close my eyes. I take in a small breath and I let it out slowly. I feel my fangs retreat a bit but I still don't trust myself. Just as I'm about to head out the door I hear shuffling upstairs.

       I dash up the stairs and down the hall before I even have time to register who could be up there. I quickly look for the room that the sound came from.

"We need to call Elena" I hear Stefan say from a few rooms down the hall.

"Stefan?" I quickly call out. I run the hall and look both ways, I'm about to walk into one of the rooms when Stefan appears in front of me.

"Elena what are you doing here?" Stefan asks sounding worried.

"Stefan!-" I say wrapping my arms around him "-I came here looking for you." I say pulling myself back. Stefan looks at me before looking around us. What was he looking for.

"Where's Brianna?" Stefan suddenly asks. A flare of jealousy wounds up inside me. How could Stefan care about her when I was here looking for him. As if to read my thoughts Stefan looks at me.

"It's not safe here" He says as he leads me into a room.

"What do you mean it's not safe here?" I ask as I enter the room. The scent of blood hits my face and instantly my fangs elongate, the tickle at the back of my throat becomes uncomfortable. My vision wavers for a bit before I finally look around the room. My eyes trace around until I find the source of blood. Damon. He was perched up on a couch, his stomach torn and bloody. His shirt was in shreds and his arms were a bloody mess. His breathing was uneven which meant he was unconscious. I'm at his side before I can even register it.

"Damon?" My voice sounds scared and horrified. I kneel beside him and stretch out my hand to touch him but think the better of it. I move my hand back and look at Stefan.

"What happened?" I ask horrified as I look back at Damon.

"We don't know yet. When we came here Damon was staked to the wall." Stefan says walking towards Damon. He crouches on the opposite side of Damon. "That's all we know" He finishes.

"We?" I ask.

"Caroline and I. We came looking for Tyler but instead we found this" Stefan says gesturing at Damon. He looks up and meets my gaze. I see confusion, anger, sadness, and longing in his eyes. I break away from his look.
