The Vampire Diaries(BxB)

A Walk Through Hell

It's nighttime, as my window flys open, and I wake up, sitting up, gasping. I get up, and walk over to it, as I see the lightening's light, as I close the window, and lock it, and turn back around, sighing. I knock on Jeremy's door, and open it, and see him sitting on the end of his bed. "Hey, you're still up." I say. "Hey, what's up?" He asks. "Looks like there's a big storm rolling in. Can you help make sure all the windows are closed?" I ask, and he looks to his window, and back to me, and I look at his window. "Yeah. Yeah. Sure." He says, and I smile, and turn around, and shut the door. It's daytime outside, as I'm in the Salvatore Boarding House Library, sitting down, as it's pouring rain, and Damon's hammering the wooden boards into the windows shut. "I say we go to Pearl's, bust down the door, and annihilate the idiot that attacked us last night." He says, smiling. "Yeah. And then what? We turn to the rest of that house of vampires and say, opps, sorry?" Stefan asks. "I can't believe you made a deal with her." I say, as Damon walks past me. "It was like a helpful exchange of information. And it was not like I had a choice. She's.. scary." He says, smiling. "Besides, she's gonna help me get Alex back." He says, pointing to me with the hammer, smirking, and puts his hand down, as I sigh. "Of course she is." I say, and turn to Stefan. "Damon gets what he wants, as usual." I say, and look at Damon. "No matter who he hurts in the process." I say. "You don't have to be snarky about it." He says, walking over to chair, as I stand up, and follow him. "I woke up this morning to learn that all the Vampires have been released from the Tomb. I've earned snarky." I say, and he sits down, and sighs. "How long are you going to blame me for turning your Birth Mother into a vampire?" He asks, as I have my arms crossed, fake smiling. "I'm not blaming you, Damon. I've accepted the fact that you're a Self Serving Psychopath with no redeeming qualities." I say. "Ouch." He says. "This isn't being very productive." Stefan says, as I put my hands down, and rub his right arm. "We're gonna figure out a way to deal with Pearl and the Vampires. Yeah?" Stefan asks, as I put my arm down, and Damon stands up. "Hm." He says, and walks past us, and look back to Stefan, as he's looking down. "I'm sorry. He just makes me so cranky." I say, and he puts his arms around my neck, pulling me to his chest, and rest his chin on my head. "I know. He makes everybody cranky." He says. "So what are we going to do?" I ask. "Damon and I are going to handle everything, I promise." He says, and I look up at him, stepping back, as he has his hands on my cheeks. "Well, what about me? I can't just sit here and do nothing." I say. "That's exactly what you're gonna do, because that's what going to keep you safe." He says, and I hold his wrists. "Which means nothing if you're not safe, too." He says. "What do you mean? I'm perfectly safe. I have Damon, the Self Serving Psychopath on my side." He says, and I sigh, and he pulls me back to his chest. "Well, that's comforting." I say, wrapping my arms around his waist. I'm heading to my room, as my phone rings and I pick it up, heading to the stairs, and see it's Damon calling for the sixth time, and I press ignore. Again, and walk up the stairs, and hear a knock on my door, and turn around, and walk down the stairs, and over to the door, and open it, and Damon walks in, and past me. "You're ignoring me." He says, as I shut the door, and walk over to him. "The six missed calls?" I ask, as he looks at me. "Sorry. My phone is dead." I say, sarcastically. "Is Stefan here?" He asks, as I have my arms crossed. "No. Why? Something wrong?" I ask. "He went out to the woods and didn't come back." He says, and pulls out his phone, looking at it. "I can't get him on his phone. I figured he was here with you." He says, as I look down at my phone, and dial Stefan, and put it to my right ear. "Hey, it's Stefan. You know what to do." His voicemail says, and beeps, and I put the phone down. "It's going straight to voicemail." I say, and press the end call button. "Where could he be? You don't think.." I say. "You're not going to like what I'm thinking." He says. I'm in the car, waiting for Damon, and I see him running. I open my door, and grab my umbrella, and get out, and shut the door, and run over to him. "What happened? Where is he?" I ask. "They have him. I can't get in." He says. "Why not?" I ask. "Because the woman who owns the house is compelled not to let me in." He says. "I can get it." I say, stepping forward, and he catches me. "You're not going in there." He says, and I step forward again, and he pushes me back. "I'm going!" I exclaim. "You're not going in there." He says. "Why are the doing this? What do they want with him?" I ask. "Revenge. They want revenge." He says, and I look to my right, and down. "We gotta do something." I say. "I know." He says, and I look up to him, as he's looking behind him. "We can't let them hurt him." I say, as he looks at me. "We gotta get him out of there." I say, and he touches the sides of my face. "I know. Ethan, I know." He says, and puts his hands down. "But I don't know how to get him out." He says, and I cry. "I am going to kill that ugly bastard." I say. We soon arrive to the school. "Well, don't you look.. alive?" Damon asks. "You can't hurt me." Alaric says. "Oh, I can hurt you, all right." Damon says, and I step out from behind the wall. "Mr. Saltzman." I say, and Alaric looks at me. "We need your help." I say. We're in his classroom. "Stefan's in the house. Damon's a vampire. He can't get in. We need you. I would go, but." I say, and Damon interrupts me. "Your life is valuable." He says, and I sigh. "Yours, on the other hand.." Damon says. "Stefan told me about your ring." I say. "What about it?" Alaric asks. "Let me recap. You tried to kill me. I defended myself. You died. Then according to my brother, your ring brought you back to life. Am I leave anything out?" Damon asks. "Yeah. The part where I try and kill you again." Alaric says, standing up, and begins walking over to Damon. "Only this time, I don't miss." He says, and I step in front of him, and hold my right hand up. "Mr. Saltzman. Please. It's Stefan." I say, putting my hand down, and he looks at me, and looks down. "I'm sorry, Ethan. But it's not my problem." He says. "That's a shame. Because the woman in charge of the crowd can help you find your wife." Damon says, and I look at him. "You're lying." Alaric says, as Damon approaches me. "Am I? Why don't you ask her for yourself?" He asks, and I look at Alaric. "Coward. Come on, Ethan." Damon says, as we begin to walk off. "All right! Wait." Alaric says, as I turn around, looking at him. "I'll go." He says. He's opening his set of wooden stakes and knives. "Teacher by day, Vampire Hunter by night." Damon says. "I've you to thank for that." Alaric says. "What are these?" I ask, touching darts. "Those are Tranquilizer Darts filled with Vervain." He says, as I look at him. "Just get me in. I'll get Stefan out." Damon says, as I look at him. "That's your plan? You're just gonna take them all on yourself?" I ask. "Well, I'll be a little stealthier than that, hopefully." He says, and I look down at the Darts, and pick one up. "Woah. What are you doing?" Alaric asks, as I look up at him. "I'm going with you guys." I say. "No. No. No. No. No way." Damon says, as I look at him, as Alaric takes the dart, and I look back to Alaric, and back to him. "You need me. I'll get in. You could distract them, and I'll get Stefan out, carrying a loaded gun." I say. "You'll get yourself killed. You're not going in there." He says, smiling, and looks at Alaric. "I'm going." I say. "So, when you get me in, get out as quickly as you can." Damon says, and I look at Alaric. "I know how to sneak around where they can't hear me. You'll basically just be in the way." Damon says, and I look at him. "Damon, now is not the time to be the Lone Ranger." I say. "Fine. Ethan, you can drive the getaway car." He says, smiling. "You're not going in the house." He says, and looks back to Alaric. "You can't stop me. It's Stefan we're talking about here." I say, and look at Alaric, and back to Damon. "You don't understand." I say, and he looks at me. "Oh, I understand. I understand. He's the reason you live. His love lifts you up where you belong." He says, lifting his head up, jokingly. "I get it." He says, looking at me. "Cam you not joke around for two seconds?" I ask. "I can't protect you, Ethan. I don't know how many vampires are in there." He says, and snaps his fingers. "That's how long it takes you to get your head ripped off. I have to be able to get in and get out. I can't be distracted by your safety. Or this will end up a bloodbath that none of us walk away from.. including Stefan." He says, and I breathe heavily, and look down. "I know. I get it. I understand." He says, as I look at him. "If we're gonna go, let's go." Alaric says, as I'm crying, and Damon touches my right arm, and walks off. "Alaric." I say, and they both look at me. "Are you my Father?" I ask. "No. I'm not." He says. I'm in the car in the driver's seat, waiting, as I have my black cloak on from an old Halloween costume. I look behind me, and look around, and face forward. I look down to my right and grab my a wooden bullet gun and a Tranquilizer dart out of my bag, and look at it. A tree falls, and I gasp, looking at it, as it's on the car. I open the door, put my hood up, covering my face, and get out, and shut the door, and run to the back of the house, and step over the podium, quietly, and run to the wall, and slide down, breathing heavily, and look behind the wall at the door. "Billy, Jacob, get back in here!" The man from the Grill who called me Alex says, as I turn back, hiding behind the wall, and feel a sharp pain in my side, as I'm about to scream, and cover my mouth, and see an entrance that leads down, and get up running to it, and down the stairs. I open the door, and close. I look through a glass door, and see nobody, and break the window with the gun, a and reach for the knob, and unlock it. I hide behind a wall, and see a male vampire wearing earbuds, and blaring music. I hold the dart tighter, and hide behind the wall again. I look back, and he looks at me, and I gasp, hiding behind the wall again, and hear a grunting noise, and step from behind the wall, and see Damon, and take my hood down. "Are you insane?" He asks. "Not at all." I say. I run into where Stefan is being held, and see him tied up above the ground, shirtless with his pants on, bleeding. "Ethan.. you shouldn't be here." He says, as I run over to him. "He was supposed to stay in the car." Damon says, as I notice a dark skinned man tied up, and I look back at Stefan. "No. No, not him." Stefan says. "Whatever. Let's get you down." Damon says, walking over to the pulley, and I see blood on my left hand. "Damon." I say, and he looks at me. "My hand. What's going on?" I ask, as a cut appears. "They have a witch. We're linked. There's Vervain on the ropes." Stefan says, as Damon walks back over to us. "Ethan, pull that." He says, as I run over to the machine, and pull it. "All right. Let's go. Clothes on." Damon says. "Wait." Stefan says. "What? Guys, come on. We have  to get out of here." Damon says, as I run over to Stefan, and put one side of his hoodie on, and he pulls the knife out of the other guy. "Come on. We gotta go." Damon says, as the guy groans. "The other one." Stefan says, as I look at him, and back to the guy, and pull the other knife out, as he groans, and we run out the door, as he puts the rest of his jacket on. "Can you get him in the car?" He asks me. "Yeah." I say. "All right, go." He says. "What about you?" I ask. "You rescue, I'll distract. Go." Damon says, and a Caucasian female approaches us. "I don't think so." She says, and throws us all to the wall, and I drop the gun, and we all groan. Damon gets up and vampspeeds to her, as she knocks him down again. "I don't think so." She says, as I grab the gun with my left hand, and Damon screams, as she's turned around. "Hey, bitch!" I yell, as she looks at me, and I shoot her in the head, and she falls. Dead. Damon stands up, and dashes over to us, as I help Stefan up. "Damn. Remind me not to kidnap you're boyfriend. Go!" He exclaims, and Stefan and I help Stefan run our the door, as I have my arms around him. We're running outside, as he groans. "Can you make it?" I ask, and we both fall. "You ok?" He asks. "Yeah. Come on, we gotta keep going out of Hell. Come on." I say, standing up, as I'm helping him up, and he groans, and we run off again. I can see the car, as we get closer to it. "Come on, it's right over here." I say, as we approach the car, and I open the passenger door, and help him in, as he groans, and I shut the door, and run to the driver's door, open it, and get in, and shut it. I turn the key, but feel the wire is out, and look at him. "Stefan.." I say, and his window busts open and I scream, as he gets pulled out. I grab my dart, and open my car door, and run out of it, just as he's about to stake Stefan in the heart, as Stefan is against a tree. "No!" I yell, and stab the man from the Grill in the back, and he groans, and Stefan falls down, and so does the guy. I run over to Stefan, and crouch down next to him. "Stefan.." I say, touching the wooden stake, as he groans, and I rip it out, and he gasps. "Stefan.. Stefan.." I say, as he closes his eyes, turning to the right, and I cry. "No, Stefan. Stefan. Stefan. Stefan! Stefan!" I yell, shaking him. "Stefan, please. Stefan!" I yell, and turn around, looking at the man on the ground slowly starting to get up, and turn back to Stefan. "Oh, Stefan, please get up. Get up, Stefan." I say, and turn back to the guy, as he begins to rise more, and turn back to Stefan, and touch his face with my left hand. "Stefan." I say, and look at my left hand, and see the blood, and put it to his lips. "Here." I say, as he swallows it. "Ethan, please run." He says, and I shake my head. "No." I say. "Please." He says. "Please, Stefan. My wrist." I say, and pull my left sleeve down. "Here. Take my wrist. You need more blood." I say, as he opens his eyes. "Go, Ethan. Run. Run.." He says, touching my wrist. "No. I trust you." I say, as he cries, and I nod, as he puts my wrists to his mouth, and bites it, as I groan, and it feels like a warm fire, but painful. I'm hiding behind a tree, and hear growling, and see Stefan pinning the guy against a tree, and Stefan stakes him in the heart, repeatedly, and I run over to him. "Stefan!" I exclaim, and he looks at me, growling, and I see his red eyes and veins, as they go away, and I see the man drop. Dead. I look back at Stefan, and he gasps, dropping the long stick, and he sighs. I'm in Stefan's room, looking out the window, and hear footsteps, and turn around, looking at him, as he's holding a jacket, and look back to the window. "How are you doing?" I ask, looking down. "I'm okay. The wounds have mostly healed." He says, and I look up. "Good." I say. "Ethan.." He says, as I turn around. "Yeah?" I ask. "What you did today, coming to help me.. you could have been killed." He says. "I know. But. I killed someone." I say, and start crying. "And what I did, I'm sorry that.." He says, looking down, and back up to me. "I'm sorry that you had to see it." He says. "I've just never. You were like this other person." I say, shaking my head. "And it's my fault. I made you." I say, looking down, as he interrupts me. "No. No. No. No." He says, and I look up. "You didn't make me do anything. You were saving my life." He says, approaching me. "And I was saving yours." He says, nodding, and so do I, and he touches the right side of my face with his left hand, as I close my eyes, and open them, looking at him. "Everything's going to be okay." He says. "But I killed someone with a loaded gun." I say, crying more, and breathe heavily, as he hugs me. "You were saving all our lives. You had to." He says, and kisses the top of my forehead, and I sigh. My phone rings, and I walk over to it, and pick it up, and see it's Jeremy, and answer it. "Hey, Jer.." I say. "We need you to come over to Matt's." He says. "What. What's going on?" I ask. "They found Vicki." He says. "Oh, no." I say, looking at Stefan. I soon arrive to Matt's house, and ring the doorbell, and it opens, and I see the Sheriff. "He's upstairs." She says, and I walk past her, and up the stairs, and see Matt, as he's crying, and I run over to him. "Matt.." I say, hugging him, and he hugs back, as I rest my head in his shoulder. I arrive home with Jeremy, and shut the door, as he's going up the stairs. "Jer." I say, and he looks at me. "Are you okay?" I ask. "I'm gonna go get some sleep." He says, and turns back around, and goes up the stairs more, and I look down, sighing. I lay against the wall, and sit down, and extend my legs out.
