"Stefan, who was that man in the road?"
"I don't know. Do you remember anything else about him?"
"I wish. I never really saw his face. He was wearing a hoodie. All I can remember is that there was these black boots coming towards me."
"I brought some vervain for, um—for you, Elio and Jenna" said Stefan and grabbed a box from the end of the bed. "And, um, I made this bracelet for Jeremy, few extra ones for friends. You can put it in jewellery or you can even put it in food or drink, but as long as it's in you or on you, a vampire cannot control you."
"Wow. So much to remember."
"I know, but there's another vampire in town. So until we find out who it is and what he wants, we have to be careful."
Elena nodded understandingly then glanced towards he bathroom door, but Stefan knew she was looking there because of Elio.
He remained in his room most of the time, only left it when it was necessary. Even then he was mostly quiet and in his thoughts.
"How is Elio holding up?" asked Stefan quietly.
"I'm.... not sure. He is very quiet, I haven't seen him like this before. I can't tell if he is sad, angry or... I just wish I could make it better."
"I'm sure he will come around."
Downstairs, Jeremy was sketching at the dining room table when suddenly the doorbell rang. He got up and walking to the door answered it, opening up saw the pizza delivery guy on the front porch.
"Hey. It's gonna be $22" said the delivery boy with a smile and pulled pizza out of the bag.
"Elena, I need the money!" Jeremy yelled up the stairs then turned around and continued in a normal tone. "Uh, here. Come in. Just put it on the table."
Jeremy walked back into the dining room, the young man stood on the front porch for a moment longer before crossing the threshold into the house. He placed the pizza on the table while Elena came down the stairs, retrieving the money from her wallet.
"Hi. Um, keep the change."
"Thanks. And you have yourself a good night."
