Bloodlust → Stefan Salvatore [1]

Let The Right One In

I gasp as I jolt up, visions of the fight poisoning my mind. I lift up my shirt and feel my stomach. Nothing. Thank god for Stefan's blood. Thunder crackles outside. I look over to see my window open, rain and leaves flying into my room. I quickly get up and shut it. I look at the clock, it reads 12:23. Wow, I slept late. It looks like it's the middle of the night. Hopefully this storm clears up fast.

My phone begins to ring, and I grab it and answer it quickly, not wanting Elena and Jenna to know I'm awake.
"Hello?"
"Thank god you answered." It's Damon.
"Yeah, and I was just hanging up."
"No no, wait, it's Stefan."
"What about him?"
"He's missing. Is he with you?"
"No, I haven't seen him since last night."
"Goddammit." I hear him say under his breath.
"Where could he be?"
"You're not going to like what I'm thinking."

"So let me get this straight." I begin. "the vampires have escaped from the tomb and want revenge on us, and that's why the attacked last night-
"Yes." He assume sum done.
"I'm not finished. Stefan goes to get revenge on them for attacking us last night, only to get captured, and you went to this house they were staying in to get him, and left me in the car." Damon rolls his eyes.
"Well don't make it seem like I'm the bad guy!"
"Then stop acting like it, shithead!" I respond. Damon sighs.
"How are we going to get him out?" I ask. Damon grabs my arm and guides me to the car.
"Well, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve."

Damon kicks open the door and walks in.
"Mr. Saltzman! Long time no see!" Mr. Saltzman rolls his eyes.
"You can't hurt me."
"Oh, I can hurt you alright." I push Damon aside and walk in.
"We need your help." Damon and I tell him the story.
"Damon can't go in the house because he's a vampire, and I can't because I'm more likely to die because of my link to Elena."
"And you got that weird, witchy woo ring thing." I turn around and give Damon a look.
"Damon, it's just a ring." Damon smirks, Mr. Saltzman's expression slightly changes.
"Seriously Damon? More secrets?"
"It was for your own good."
"What is it."
"If a human wears it and is killed by a supernatural being, they're brought back to life." Mr. Saltzman says.
"See! How is that for my 'own good'?" I yell at Damon.
"It was better if you didn't know."
"What? No it wasn't."
"Stop!" Me. Saltzman yells.
"Let me go through it, I tried to kill you and your stupid ring brought you back to life. But that wasn't before you tried to kill me. Anything I missed?"
"Yeah," Me. Saltzman begins. "the part where I try again but this time I don't miss." I get in between the two of them, stopping them from fighting. I look at Mr. Saltzman, with my puppy dog eyes face.
"I'll help, but only for Stefan."

Damon pulls over at the spot we were at before. He turns around to me.
"Okay, you stay here, Ric and I will go to get Stefan."
"What? No, I'm going with you."
"If I catch you following us I'll rip your heart out of your chest." I can't help but feel like he'll actually do it.
"We can't be distracted worrying about your safety, because then we will all die, including Stefan." I stay silent for a few moments. "Fine."

The radio is on, but quiet, I can't risk getting caught. It feels like it's been forever, but they've only been gone for 15 minutes. Either way, I don't wanna wait here any longer, I need to find Stefan. I bend over to grab a stake from the back, when there's a a bang on the car. I bounce back up thinking it's Damon, but it's just a branch. I grab a stake, and what looks like a tranquilizer, and head for the house.

I kneel down outside the house, I hear the people talking inside. I glance over to see a cellar. I run as fast as I can to the cellar and run down. I end up at a locked door. "Shit." I curse under my breath. I pick a rock up off the ground and though it at the glass, watching it break. I reach my hand in and unlock the door. I slowly walk in, and peer around the corner. A man spits me and begins walking towards me. Out of nowhere a hand comes out and stabs into his chest. Damon walks out as the man falls to the ground. "Are you insane?"

I open a door to see Stefan tied up.
"Damon, in here?" I run up and put my hands on Stefan's face, there are wounds everywhere.
"What did they do to you?" I ask, Damon walks in and cuts him down.
"What are you doing here, Blake?" Stefan asks.
"He was supposed to stay in the car." Damon spats. I pull the ropes off Stefan, an watch them burn his skin.
"Damon, they're vervain ropes." Damon walks over and quickly cuts them off of his wrists.
"Wait." Stefan announces, pointing to a man staked into a chair. He pulls out one of the stake's. He struggles with the second one, but I help him pull it out. We follow Damon out.
"Can you get him to the car?"
"Yeah."
"Okay, I'll distract."
"Damon," he looks back at me. "be careful." He nods as we split apart.

We manage to make it back to the car. I help Stefan get in the car, then I get in the driver's seat. I look down at the keys, to see them cut in half.
"Stefan..." The window shatters as Stefan is thrown out the window by one of the vampires. I grab a stake and hop out of the car, I watch him stab Stefan in the stomach with a branch, he pulls out and is about to go for the heart, I jump up and plunge the stake into the back of his neck. Stefan falls to the ground as the man falls the other way, I grab his jacket.
     "Stefan?" He doesn't respond. All he does is breath, heavily.
     "Come on Stefan, this can't be how you die. Not yet." He looks into my eyes. He looks scared.
     "Stay with me, Stefan." He closes his eyes. "No, Stefan no!" I grab a rock and skit my wrist. I shove my wrist onto Stefan's mouth, and force him to drink my blood.
     "Drink it, Stefan." He tries to pull back, but I don't let him. He finally grabs my wrist and bites into my arm. I hear the man walking up from behind. Stefan pushes me off and grabs the man, throwing him against a tree, and into a branch. The branch stabs through his chest, but Stefan continues to stab him with the stake that was in his neck. I grab Stefan's arm, stopping him. His eyes are still all vamped up, but they slowly go away. I through the stake to the ground and Stefan hugs me. "Let's go home." He whispers into my ear.

     Stefan and I are lying in his bed, Stefan's head is turn to the side, his nose rested in my head. He sits up.
     "Look, what you could've done today... that could've killed you. You risked your life to save me."
     "You'd do the same. It's what you do for someone you love." I say as I sit up with him. He leans in and kisses me. I pull back and grab my phone.
     "I have 4 missed calls from Jeremy."
     "Why don't you call him back?" Stefan allows. I get up and dial his number. He answers almost immediately.
     "Blake, where the hell were you?"
     "I've been spending the day with Stefan, why? Is something wrong?"
     "It's Caroline. She found Vikki's body." I jaw drops.
     "Oh my god, Jer that's terrible. Where are you, I'll come meet you?"
     "We are all at the Donovan's."
     "Okay, I'll see you soon." I hang up and turn to Stefan.
     "What? What's wrong?"
     "Caroline found Vikki Donovan's body."

     I walk into Matt's house to see Caroline in the kitchen. I walk over and hug her.
     "Jesus, Care. I can't imagine what a day it's been for you."
     "The body was definitely gross, but I'm more upset for Matt than grossed out." She hands me two cups of coffee.
     "Can you give this to Matt?" I nod and walk into Matt's room.
     "Hey."
     "Hey." He responds all dreary.
     "Caroline made you some coffee." I leave it on the end table next to his bed. He gets up, and begins to cry. I walk up and hug him.
     "She didn't deserve to die, she should be here with us." I can't help but  feel terrible. Vikki died because I was weak enough to let her get to me. Maybe she'd still be here if I was able to help get her under control.

I like how the last two words of this chapter are under control, and the next chapters name is 'Under Control' 😂 ill go home
