The Hunters of Mystic Falls

Chapter 6

There was a knock at the Gilbert house. Jeremy paced to the door and opened it to see Vicky wearing sunglasses. "Can you keep the sun out my eyes are on fire." Vicky demanded barging into the house. Jeremy just looked at her worried and closed the door. "Woah, Vicky you okay?" He asked as he stepped towards her. "Yeah. Everythings fine." She said before she held him and kissed him. She pulled away a couple of seconds later. "I'm hungry." She said and rished into the kitchen.

When she got into the kitched she opened the fridge and rummaged through it. She seemed like an animal. Sam interrupted his conversation with Jenna and rushed over to her. Jeremy following just after. "You okay?" Sam asked kneeling one side of her, Jeremy on the other.

"Could you stop talking?" Vicky demanded and pushed them away. "My head hurts!" She finished as she stood up putting food on the table. Jeremy looked at Sam for a second and then uttered quietly. "I'll call Matt." as he stood up and left the room.

 A few minutes later. A man around the same age as Elena had entered the house. He was rather built and had short blonde hair. "Where is she?" He asked Jeremy who was standing next to him. Jeremy pointed into the living room. "In there." Matt responded with a nod and walked over to her. Jeremy followed. "What's wrong Vick?" Matt asked sitting next to her.

"My gums hurt..." Vicky began sobbing in panic and pain. "There's, there's something in my gums." He continued.

Stefan and Elena came down the stairs to see what was going on. Jeremy looked over to them and directed them into the living room. Stefan went over to Vicky, grabbed her face and looked her in the eyes. "Get her upstairs." Stefan demanded Jeremy and helped her towards him. Jeremy nodded and took Vicky up the stairs and into his room.

Sam and Dean both approached Stefan. "What's wrong?" Sam asked.

"She's transitioning." Stefan replied.

"Into what?" Elena asked getting onto the conversation.

"A vampire?!"  Dean raised his voice only to be hushed by Stefan and Sam.

"The process isn't complete yet." Stefan said. "She has to feed on human blood." He finished.

"And if she doesn't?" Sam asked. Stefan hesitated. He finally composed himself.

"She'll die..." He responded.

 There was a moment of silence. Stefan, Dean, Sam and Elena exchanged looks before Stefan nodded slightly. "I'll go look for her." He stated and left the house leaving the other three to stand in silence.

Night fell in Mystic Falls. Vicky was sat in the woods alone. She knew what her choices were. She buries her tear covered face in her hands and began to sob. IT was a touch choice. But one she had to make.

Just outside the woods. Sheriff Forbes gathered Logan and the others. They stood in a rather disorganised circle around Logan. Sheriff Forbes pulled a gun out of her holster and handed it to him. "Wooden bullets. They won't kill a Vampire but they will weaken it enough for you to get close." She explained and pulled out a machete to hand to him. "You ever took a Vampires head before?" She asked doubtfully. Without an answer, Logan took the machete and wedged it in his trousers. With a nod from Sheriff Forbes it was now time to move out.

Back within the forest. Stefan had managed to find Vicky. "Hey." He greeted her and took a step closer. Vicky looked up to him with her still tear covered face. She looked desperate, conflicted. "I don't want to die." Vicky cried quietly. Stefan satepped closer to her and spoke in a hushed, calm tone. "Just take it easy, you're going to be okay." He responded.

The sound of gunshots echoed around them. Stefan looked down at his chest which was now impaled with bullet holes and fell to the floor. From the shadows of the trees within the forest, Logan stepped out and walked over to Stefan. He pulled the machete from his trousers and lined it up to his throat.

Before the moment could pass. Logan was picked up in the air and struck in the neck. He was suddenly dropped to the floor and the predator stepped out of the shadows. His black hair and leather jacket caught the light of the moon. "Damon..." Stefan spoke out in relief. Damon simply stepped towards him. "Yeah yeah." Demon replied before snapping his fingers and holding his hand out. "My ring, Stefan." He demanded impatiently. Without argument Stefan reached into his pocket and handed the silver ring to his brother, who had snatched it from him and placed it on his left middle finger. "Better." He commented and turned around to see Vicky over Logan's body her face not to be seen.

After pulling out the wooden bullet, Stefan stood and looked over to The body. "Vicky..."

Vicky looked up at them, her eyes bloodshot, her fangs extended and face covered in blood. Without a word she vanished into the forest like a blur leaving behind a whisk of wind and rustling bushes. The two brothers just looked out to the distance in disappointment.
