Wildfire- The Vampire Diaries {Book 1}

03- You're The Goddamn Cactus

Dear Diary,

I'm shaken up, to say the least. It's still been a while since the ordeal with Rose and Elijah went down, but I still terrified to open the front door to my house in case someone tries to take me away. I know that as long as I stay with people like Elena, Caroline and Stefan, that I should be safe enough. But the people around me aren't enough to fight off someone like Elijah, should they show up. Because although Elijah is dead, and Katherine is locked up in the tomb beneath the burnt down church... There's still Isaac to worry about.

He was there, the night of the masquerade ball. That's why my arm was ripped open magically, because a witch had linked my life to his. And, with Katherine locked away, starving to death, we may have the lingering problem of Isaac too. I don't look forward to that.

Actually, after the whole thing with Elijah went down, I didn't hesitate to demand answers and explanations from everyone in the car journey on the way back to Mystic falls. Turns out we were taken three miles away from Mystic Falls. So, this gave the Salvatore brothers and my sister ample time to explain everything to do with my doppelgänger and this whole 'moonstone' stuff.

Basically, Caroline, Stefan and Damon are all vampires, which I already knew. Bonnie is a witch, which was also revealed to me from an overheard conversation. And, on top of vampires and witches, Tyler Lockwood is a werewolf. And, all of this ties in with Elena and I being doppelgängers.

Now, Stefan says that the moonstone is needed for this whole 'sun and moon curse', which basically is what makes vampires slaves to the sun, and werewolves slaves to the moon. There is a ritual which requires the moonstone to bind the curse... Which is then broken by the blood of Elena and I. Since we are the last remaining Petrova Doppelgängers.

So, there are probably loads of other people who want Elena and I so they can break this curse. Which is technically true, because Rose explained to us at Stefan and Damon's house the other day that there could be another vampire after us. The oldest vampire in history: Klaus. Rose said that Elijah is like the Easter bunny compared to Klaus... Again, unsettling because this guy wants to have mine and Elena's blood for a ritual.

Once Elena and I had arrived home safely, Jeremy and Bonnie looked relieved. They were both probably terrified for the two of us, and I don't blame them. Especially Jeremy. Neither of us were anywhere to be seen for him, and I just disappeared from the house. He felt useless and that makes me feel so bad. He wanted to do whatever he could to help me, and I pushed him away and blocked him out. If I hadn't done that, then maybe I wouldn't have been taken by that guy.

But even then, Elena still would have been taken, and then I would feel useless too, for not being able to go with Stefan and Damon to help her. Because if they wouldn't let Jeremy go with them, there's no way in hell that they would have let me go with them... Unless I hid in their car. Which I'm pretty sure wouldn't work because they're vampires and would probably smell my blood or something.

Things were alright for a small while after the kidnapping... Rose stayed at the Salvatore residence with Damon for a short while until she was bitten by a werewolf who broke in. Elena and I had to take care of her whilst Damon went out to do something- which he never told us what- and things just got progressively worse for her.

Eventually, she broke out of the house and killed two people. Luckily Damon was there to stop her, and we knew that things by then wouldn't get better. So, Damon had no choice but to kill her.

It's sad. She was actually a really nice person. Despite the fact that she almost had Elena and I killed... Then almost tore the two of us to shreds, she was a good person, she only did the things she did to protect her family.
