Aria's P.0.V

I have been sitting in this house all day. I am so bored. I have walked around this house at least three times. I loved how old everything was. I knew Stefan had been around for awhile, but this was spectacular. There were so many brilliant things. This was like a museum, and like every museum it got really boring after I looked at everything. I walked to the door and started to open it. But my arm wouldn't turn the knob. I eventually gave up. When would Stefan get back? There is no food here, and there is nothing to do. I went back into Stefan's room and flipped on the T.V. There was news, and som soap opera's. I settled on a movie about vampires. This was ironic, vampires. It was about a girl getting caught up with vampires that sparkle in the light. I had to laugh at that. I couldn't stop laughing, and Stefan just decided to come back. He sat down next to me.

"What are you laughing about?" Stefan asked. "Vampires..." He looked at me and smiled. "What's so funny about vampires?" I laughed some more, "Well if vampires sparkle in the light, then.... I have to laugh." His smiled turned somber. "Did Damon tell you how vampires are made?" He asked. I remember too well. "Yeah with the whole blood exchange, death thing." Why was he asking this. "Why are you asking this?" He stood up. "It's Caroline. I think she is going to turn. Kathrine was there... And Caroline's heart..." I stood up, tears on my face. "How could you let that happen. I thought no one ese would get hurt from this." I can't do this anymore. I ran away from him.

Stefan's P.0.V

Why couldn't I have done something different? Maybe not told her. She always blames herself. I walked up the stairs. She was laying in my bed crying. I didn't want to do this to her. "I am sorry. I just thought it.... wouldn't help my case if I hid it from you." She sat up. "It's fine I understand it wasn't your fault but mine. If I was a better person. If I didn't fall in love with a vampire. If, if, if.... There are to many if's for me to worry about. " She fell in love with a vampire? Who? And the question that has rolled around in my head since Katherine, will she choose me?

Of course not. And for some reason this realization, didn't hurt me. But I was afraid it made me more determined to have her. I didn't just want her. I needed her with a fierce longing that wouldn't go away. I felt the mood changing. "Is it me?" i asked her. With her doe eyes and soft brown hair, it was impossible for this to not get heated. I stroked her hair, "It was always you Stefan." Then I tilted my head down and kissed her. I laid back and pulled her on me. I love this girl. For the first time I wasn't thinking about Katherine. I was thinking about this girls soft hair. Her perfect face. And her full lips, pressed to mine, that I never wanted to forget. I wasn't thinking about Aria, I was memorizing her. Everything good comes to an end eventually

Damon's P.0.V

"That poor little girl. She must be so scared in the arms of a vampire." Katherine said. Yeah really looks like it. "Oh really, she must be trembling with fright. Oh and some how he is forcing her to kiss him too, right?" I said through clenched teeth. "She must be so scared. What do you sat we "save" her?" Katherine said with a bitter laugh. "I think that would be a good idea." I said walking up to the boarding house. She followed quickly behind. I listened closely. I "Shh, Aria run." Stefan said. Then a door opened. I walked quickly to the bedroom. I broke the door open, and the room was empty. I went to the only other door in the room. It led to the bathroom. Stefan was there, standing casually as if he was expecting us. But not even 3 minutes ago both of them were sucking face with each other. I heard Katherine yell through the house, "Come on Aria, it will only hurt for a second. Or longer, I guess it depends on how smart you are." I saw Stefan stiffen. "We'll make it painless. Or not. Just tell us were she is."

"What are you doing Damon? You know as well as I do that she is using you." I laughed. "She may be but what do I have to loose anymore? You always take the things I want." He walked up to me, and got in my face. "She should be your only choose, not the second or your third." I pushed him back with all my strength. He went flying. He was back faster than I expected. He pushed me down. As I laid there we both stopped for a split second as a familiar ear piecing scream blared through my ears. We both looked up. I was there faster than I thought possible. Katherine had Aria in the opening in the woods were this all started.

Stefan's P.0.V

Katherine held Aria by her hair. There were bite marks on her neck in several places. Blood flowing freely, I was twitching with anticipation. The smell was intoxicating, clouding my senses and honing into the one thing my life was controlled by. Blood. I heard Katherine's sinister laugh. "See he can't control his urges for the girl he loves. That is a pity. Who will love you when you kill everyone who did?" I snapped and lunged. I lunged at Katherine but she shoved Aria in front of me. I felt my beast surge fouth. The blood was too much.

 She was right I could never love anyone without risking them. So I was going to stop loving. It was my turn to give up. The tiny little switch that I flipped on and off my whole life was beckoning me. One little nudge and the pain, love and remorse of my whole life would be gone until someone could change that. I pushed and then went numb. I tried to dig around my thoughts for some feeling. All I got was nothing. I didn't care anymore. So I bit into Aria's neck and sucked her dry. Damon of course intervened, but that was short lived. She was already gone. I walked away and surprisingly I felt nothing.
