"What are you going to do," I ask, fear creeping into my voice.
They both exchange a glance.
"We haven't thought about that yet," Stefan says.
"But you said I'll get something worse than death," I point out, "what is that?"
"Either making you a vampire or compelling you to forget him," Stefan says.
"They're both actually not that bad. Being a vampire is great and I'm pretty sure your life would be much better without Klaus in it," Damon says.
"Please don't make me forget about Nik," I say, standing on my knees on the couch and grabbing the pillows.
"You're cute when you beg," Damon says with a chuckle.
"That's not funny Damon," Stefan says, rolling his eyes.
"Oh sure it is," he says back and pours himself a drink.
"So what are you going to do to me," I ask.
"I have an idea," Damon mutters.
"What's your idea," Stefan asks him.
"Oh, it's actually just for me to do to her," he says with a smirk in my direction.
I sit down and pull a pillow to my chest.
"She's so innocent and small, I thought Mlaus went for the daring courageous ones," Damon says.
Ouch, that hurt.
I wish Nik were here, he would be so much better in this situation. Well, he wouldn't be in this situation at all anyway.
Damon's right, I'm weak and innocent. I don't deserve Nik.
Great, here I go again!
"What are you doing," Stefan asks.
"I'm thinking," I mumble.
There has to be a reason that Nik chose me, I mean I don't even seem like his type, maybe that's what everyone's trying to say.
"Look, when Nik gets back he's going to be so angry with you for taking me," I say, "so I think you should let me go."
"Why'd he leave you all alone then," Damon asks, finishing his drink.
"Because he said you would protect me from Marcel's guys if they tried to come after me," I say.
"Who is Marcel," Stefan asks.
"He's someone in New Orleans who- wait, I don't think I should tell you, Nik wouldn't be too happy," I say.
Damon groans, "just compel her," he says.
Stefan appears in front of me and looks in my eyes.
"Tell us everything," he says.
I think he's trying to compel me, "um...I don't think Nik would want me to," I say again.
He sighs and pulls away.
"He gave her vervain," he says.
"Let's wait for it to pass out of her system," Damon says and he disappears.
I turn to Stefan.
"Looks like you're staying here," he says.
"No, I can't, I have to go back to Nik and I's home," I say.
"Can you please explain this to me again, you being his girlfriend I mean," he says an sits down in a chair.
"It all started when I was walking home one night. Then, a guy attacks me, Nik saves me and walks me home. I give him my number just in case he wants to talk to anyone, I was just being nice. He calls me a while later and we talk, he asks me on a date and I say yes. We go on many dates until he asks me to be his girlfriend, we move in together a while later," I explain.
