The Vampire Survival Guide (CURRENTLY REWRITTING)

5. You're Undead To Me

Stefan's POV

At the end of last night my plan was successful. Damon fed on Caroline just as I expected him to but what he wasn't expecting was for Caroline's blood to be spiked with vervain. It's deadly to vampires, including myself. I feel awful for using Caroline but it had to be done. I also feel awful for leaving Aurelia the way I did especially after our argument. Hopefully she can forgive me. In the end I'm doing this for her protection, for everyone's protection.

I've been home for days now watching Damon making sure he stayed weak enough to not move much but strong enough to stay alive, for now. I had him in the cellar downstairs were no one could hear him or see him.

I've been checking on him every couple hours and now is about the time I should make my annual trips to the disobedient vampire.

His appearance wasn't the same. Beads of sweat damped his forehead, his lips chapped and his eyes slowly opening and closing.

When he sensed my presence his raspy voice breaks through the quiet air. "Where's my ring?"

"You won't be needing it anymore." I stated through the metal bars of the cell.

"And how long have I been here?" he groans trying to move his weakening muscles.

"3 days." We're only getting started.

After a series of coughs he asks, "What are you doing?"

"In the dark ages when a vampire threatens to expose or bring harm upon an entire race they will fade judgment they saw to reeducate than to punish them." I schooled.

"You know what will happen if I don't," another series of cough came from his mouth, struggling to finish his sentence. "Feed on blood."

"You'll get weaker." I haven't had much experience with being injected with vervain but I know what great power it holds against someone like me. "And eventually won't be able to move or speak then your skin will desiccate then you will mummify, a living corpse and you won't be able to hurt anyone ever."

"So what? Your just gonna leave me in the basement forever?" he questions licking his dry lips.

"I've injected you with enough vervain to keep you weak, once the circulation stops and in 150 years we can reevaluate." After my sentence was finished Damon rollover on his stomach groaning in agony.

"I'm stronger than you think." he tells.

"You always have been but your not stronger than the vervain and we both know it. I'm sorry It didn't have to be this way." Now leaving my older brother so he could reflect and think about what he has done I needed to head to school to speak with two young ladies who I am sure are beyond pissed at me.

Gabriella's POV

Hey. Your remember how last night I thought I tore my stitches? Well, I did and it wasn't pretty. Things went from bad to worse. Last night I had to get cauterized. If you don't know what that is ill explain it to you. It's surgery.  I have been treated, using a scraping technique called cu- rettage. After curettage, the raw area has been treated with Cautery (heat), electrodessication (electric current only) or a chemical to stop the bleeding.

Since I ripped so many of my stitches Doctor Fell decided to take all of them out and do this surgery. She said it would be better for me since I can't seem to not get into any physical altercations. There are no stitches because this treatment is designed to allow healing with minimal scarring. The wound will be a black area like a deep graze, which may take two to three weeks to heal. Once healed the scar may be red and slightly raised. After several months it should settle to a more esh coloured,  at scar.
