The Vampire Diaries: Trinity

Chapter Eight: 162 Candles

Stefan eyes snap open when he hears a loud thump. He looks around to see a book on the ground. He turns his head when he hears a noise. He cautiously steps out of his bed. "Damon?" He calls. He is suddenly slammed to the ground. Stefan eyes go wide. "Lexi!"

The blonde female on top of him smiles. "Hi."

"What are you doing here?" He asks, smiling back.

"How could you even ask that?"

"I missed you."

"Happy Birthday."

Later, Stefan and Lexi are in his room talking.

"Stop." She puts her hand up. "I don't know, some freak shot at me with wooden bullet. I bail in under sixty. And why is a news reporter hunting vampires?"

"I don't know who knows about us." He shrugs. "That guy did. There could be others. Do me a favor while you're there, please be careful."

"Why stay? I'm headed to New-York for the week-end. Bon Jovi in the Garden. 'Wanted dead or alive', it's our theme song. It'll be blast." She smiles.

"Do you think he would actually remember us? That was a pretty crazy week-end huh?"

"We can make him remember us. Come on, let's go. I mean, what's keeping you here?"

"I told you her name is Elena."

"Let's hope she's better than the last girl you got all sprung over."

"You didn't even know Katherine."

"'Cause if I did I'd kick her ass. Little bitch." She says. "Speaking of...where's Damon?"

"Inflicting misery somewhere. You gonna be ok here alone? Cause I got some things I gotta take care of." He stands up.

"It's not exactly like I can go anywhere. And you and Damon are the only ones whit these nifty little daylight rings. I have a mood ring from '75." She says. "Trade ya."

Stefan shakes his head. "Doesn't work that way and you know it."

"Yeah."

"Hey Lex, I'm really glad that you came here."

"What are we doing for your birthday? It's not every day a guy turns a hundred and sixty-two years old."

"Really?"

She nods. "Oh yeah. And when do I get to meet the chick you replaced me with?"

"I didn't replace you and her name is Trinity." Stefan tells her. "And if you try to greet her like you did me, I imagine the turn out of that being very bad."

"Because she's a shape shifter?" Lexi asks sarcastically.

Stefan smiles. "You'll believe it when you see it."

Sheriff Forbes sits in an interrogation room, questioning the teens. "Where did Vicki say she was going?"

"She didn't." Jeremy shrugs.

"Did she tell her brother where she's going?"

Matt shakes his head. "No she didn't say anything to me. She told Jeremy to tell me that she was leaving town."

"Is there anyone I can talk to that may know what happened to her prior to her living town?"

"Stefan Salvatore may know he came by the house to see her but she wouldn't talk to him."

"What was he doing there?"

"I was trying to help, I knew that Elena was worried about her brother, he was dating Vicki and she had drug problem so I tried to help." Stefan says.
