The Vampire Diaries(BxB)

2: Even A Flower Withers

I'm at the Salvatore Boarding House, wearing a black shirt and jeans, walking into Stefan's room. "Stefan?" I ask, looking around. "Stefan?" I ask, looking at his bed, and can feel someone behind me. "You're standing right behind me, aren't you?" I ask. "Yep." He says, and I turn around, seeing him only in black shorts, smiling at me, and I wrap my arms around his neck, and he puts his around my waist, and kisses me. "Mm." He says, and I give a small laugh, and we begin making out, and stop, smiling at each other. "Good morning." He says. "I don't want us to be apart anymore. Ever." I say. "Me, neither. But.." He says. "Don't ruin the moment." I say, wrapping my arms around his neck, and he puts his around my waist, and I kiss him, and he sighs, and we stop. "You're about to ruin the moment, aren't you?" I ask, smiling. "I'm totally ruining the moment." He says, and I sigh. "Look, I can't pretend like everything's okay." He says. "Alex's locked away in the Tomb." I say, shaking my head, and walk over to his drawer, as he sighs. "I know, but we still have this pressing little issue of you being Klaus' human sacrifice." He says, as I open his drawer with my right hand, and pull out a small vial of Vervain, and close his door, uncapping it, and look at him, and he has a white tank top on. "Yes, but Elijah promised to keep me and everyone else safe as long as we play by his rules. And well, the whole engaged thing." I say, and walk over to his alcohol stash, and pour the vial into a glass. "Right. As long as you play by your soon to he husband's rules." He says. "You are mad." I say. "No, of course not. I just want you to be happy." He says. "I know. Please don't go after Isobel." I say, looking at him, and look back at the glass. "Alex said Isobel could have some answers, and I just have a couple questions, that's all." He says, as I pour water into the glass with my right hand, and set it down, and pick up the cup with my left, and look at him. "Stefan, I made a deal with Elijah." I say, and sip my water. "Right. You made a deal with him. I didn't make one. You should keep your deal." He says, and I walk over to him. "Stefan, I don't want anyone else to get hurt." I say. "When have I ever wanted somebody to get hurt?" He asks, and I sigh, and hold up the glass. "Vervain. I made it light." I say, as he reaches for it with his left right hand, and I pull it back, and he sets his hand down. "But are you sure? Just because Alex built up a tolerance.." I say, and he looks down, and back up to me. "Yes." He says, taking it from me with his right hand. "Bottoms up." He says, drinking it, as I put my hands down. "Ohh!" He exclaims, coughing on the floor, as I rub his back with my right hand. "Oh!" He exclaims, looking at me, and stands up, "Oh." He says, and I touch the ride side of his face with my left hand. "You okay?" I ask. "Yeah. Ugh." He says. "How can Elijah compel another Vampire?" I ask. "He's an Original. I don't really know what that means. I don't think anybody really knows what that means. Well.." He says, and looks down, and back up to me. "Except maybe Isobel. Maybe we should ask her." He says, and kisses me, touching the left side of my face, and puts his hand down, and walks off, and I sigh. "Wait." I say. "What?" He asks. "How does Damon feel about the Engagement?" I ask. "He's okay. He understands." He says, and I cross my arm. "Really?" I ask. "Yes, really." He says, and walks off. I'm in the Library, and see Damon and Rose. I look at Rose's wound from the bite, and it's horrible. "Definitely.. better. Right, Ethan?" Damon asks, looking at me, and Rose looks at me. "Um.. it's not bad." I say, shaking my head. "Where's Stefan?" He asks. "He left." I say, pointing behind me with my left thumb, and put my hand down. "I need you to talk to him. He's convinced that he has to find Isobel but I think that's gonna upset Elijah." I say, and he pours a glass of blood, and hands it to Rose. "No can do. I'm with Stefan on this one. But if you could play Doctor for a little while.." He says, walking over to me. "It's not necessary." She says, looking at me. "It is necessary. Ethan's a do gooder. It's in his nature. He just can't resist." He says, walking up the steps and past me, as I have my arms crossed, and look at her, as she smiles at me, and I smile back, and put my arms down, and turn around, and walk off. "Damon." I say, and he stops, and turns around, looking at me. "Is she gonna die?" I whisper. "Probably. The Wolf bite caused some kind of infection and it's getting worse." He whispers. "Like poison? That what it seems to be." I whisper. "I don't know, Ethan. I'm not an expert in the field." He says. "I'm sorry." I say. "Death happens. We come, we go. Sooner she dies the better. It's gloomy as hell in here." He says. "Are you mad at me being engaged to Elijah?" I ask. "No. I understand why you have to." He says, and walks off. I'm in Damon's bedroom, helping Rose to the bed, carrying a glass of blood in my left hand. "I hate this. I'm a Vampire. I haven't had a cold in five centuries." She says, as we stop at the bed, and she gets in, and I set the glass on the table. "Just get in bed." I say, helping her take off her over shirt so she doesn't get overheated. "We don't get sick. When we die, it's fast and sudden. And it's certainly not drawn out in illness." She says, laying down, and pulls the covers over herself with her left hand. "You're not going to die." I say. "Such a human thing to say." She says, and I look around, and see Damon's bathtub. "You've never been in Damon's room before, have you?" She asks, as I look at her, and look around, and turn back to the table, and look down at the books, and pick up, Gone with the Wind, with my left hand, and scoff. "Not what you expected?" She asks, as I set the book down, and look at her. "It's just a room with a bed." I say, and sit down. "Maybe I expected there to be silk sheets." I say, smiling, and she laughs. "You're lucky, you know. No one's ever loved me the way you're loved." She says. "I doubt that." I say. "Trevor was my best friend. Nothing more. He was just terrified when he hit you, nothing more." She says. "I forgive him." I say, smiling. "I spent all those years running from Elijah, you're fiancé. Yes, I know. I just never thought it was a good idea to set up roots. The whole idea of family is not exactly compatible with being a Vampire." She says, and I turn to the right, and pick up the glass with my right hand. "Why are you so eager to give up?" She asks, and I look at her. "I'm not giving up on anything. Here." I say, putting the cup in her right hand. "What do you call this whole deal with Elijah?" She asks. "I call it my best option." I say. "It's your easiest option." She says. "That's not fair." I say, shaking my head. "You really think that your Warlock friend destroyed the Moonstone?" She asks. "I spoke with Mark. I know he had the help of a Witch. Assuming it's Elijah's Witch, so, no, I don't." I say, shaking my head. "You really are determined to die, aren't you? At least I ran, you're not even trying." She says, and closes her eyes, and I take the glass with my left hand. "I'm so tired." She says, and I set the glass on the table, and she sighs, and I get up, and begin to walk off. "No, stop, wait." She says, and I stop and look at her. "Tell them to prepare the horses." She says, whirling her head around, and lays back down, closing her eyes. "It's okay, Rose. Just get some sleep. You'll feel better when you wake up." I say, nodding. "Trevor, don't be so stupid. You're never going to make it there before the Sun." She says, and sits up, groaning. "Oh, Ethan." She says, and lays back down. "Ethan, I need more blood." She says, and I run over to the table, and grab the glass with my right hand. "Yeah, of course, here." I say, handing her the glass, as she sits up, and drinks it, and I sit next to her, and she turns to the right, gagging and coughing, as she throws up the blood out. "Ok, everything's gonna be all right." I say, and get up, and run to Damon's bathroom, and grab a towel with my left hand, and turn the water on cold with my left, and run water over the towel, and she coughs again, as I look at her, turn the water off, and run back to her, and see she's gone, and turn around, and she vampspeeds me to the wall, as I scream. "It's all your fault, Alexzandr!" She exclaims, with her red eyes and veins.
