Behind blue eyes

Chapter 3: Good girls go bad

A/N: I don't own anything except for my mistakes and OC. This chapter might seem very familiar because I used lots of things that happened in the series. Don't worry, though. That will only happen in this chapter. It was just very needed and fitting. Someone asked me if Stefan and Elena are still together, the answer is yes, they are. That person also asked if Caroline and Stefan will get together and my answer to that is no, they won't. I find the two of them adorable, but it won't be relevant for my story.

She didn't know how it happened, but she survived. Whatever happened, she was alive. Very slowly, she came back to her senses. She allowed the sounds to fill her ears, and regained consciousness. Her eyes opened and was greeted with the sight of a high ceiling. She tried to place herself without having to look around and she recognized the place easily: she was laying on the couch in the living room of the Salvatore boarding house. Her hand reached up to her neck, and carefully touched her throat. But she didn't feel a cut, in fact, it was as smooth as it could possibly be.

Slowly, she dared to look around her and was greeted with a bunch of people staring at her. They were all wearing the same worried expression on their face but no one dared to say a word.

Candice sat up straight on the couch and turned her body to the rest and her eyes glided over each one of them. She couldn't take it anymore, she had to know how she survived. So she went with her best guess, "Did any of you feed me your blood?" She quietly asked and looked at Caroline, Damon, Stefan and Elena.

"I did." Damon was the first one to say something out of all the others. That still didn't explain why everything turned black before, though. "Then.. did I pass out or something?" She guessed but Stefan scraped his voice. "Candice.." He doubtfully said and Candice raised a questioning eyebrow until her brain did the thinking and she now noticed the intense need to feed on human blood.

"No.." Candice breathed out with a shaky breath. The people in the room were looking pitifully at her but didn't say a word. "Am I.. a vampire?" She asked in disbelief. "Actually, you're in transition." Damon lowly said, in a very serious tone but it had an angry undertone to it. A tone she didn't understand.

Candice's eyes scanned the room once more and then turned to Stefan, "Is Katherine.." Damon interrupted her, finishing her question. "Dead?" Candice looked at Damon and could see his frustrations when he looked at Stefan. "Ask Stefan, the hero." Damon said and Candice drifted her eyes to Stefan. "I couldn't kill her." Candice's eyes bulged in surprise. "What do you mean you couldn't kill her? Did she escape or..?" Candice tried to search for an answer but Damon's expression said it all.

"No, it means that he freely let her go because his feelings of sympathy got in the way." Damon spit out as he looked at Stefan. Candice felt tears welling up in her eyes, "So, you're saying that you couldn't kill the girl who actually killed me?" Candice asked as she swallowed away the lump in her throat.

Stefan didn't say anything and just looked down in regret.

"I wasn't supposed to die.. not yet." Candice whispered. Sure, at some point in her future, she had the idea of turning into a vampire. But not this soon, she wasn't ready yet.

"Maybe you don't have to. I talked to Bonnie.." Stefan said as he looked up and briefly looked over his shoulder at Bonnie and then looked back at Candice. "She said she's stronger than ever. There might be something she can do to help you." Stefan said but Damon jumped in immediately, "No, the only thing that's going to help is for you to feed and complete the transition." Damon looked at her with mixed emotions that she couldn't quite place.
