Should I Love or Stake? (On Hold)

Chapter 8- Fresh start

"So, you know everything about us?" Elena asked, staring at me with shock evident on her face.

I nodded. "Everything. Starting from 1864, to the present day."

"Wait, you know everything that happened in 1864?" Stefan asked, producing even more wrinkles on his forehead as he pondered this.

"Dear lord, Stefan. Please, do something about those frown lines." I said, turning away in disgust.

I heard Damon chuckle and I flashed him a smile.

What? He's gorgeous.

"Oh, and I apoligize for Katherine's behavior back then, she can get very bored, and when she gets bored, she gets mean." I said.

"So, have you been around as long as Katherine?" Stefan asked.

"Um, no. I'm human, so I have been around for eighteen years." I said.

"Than how did you move so fast and have such strength." Damon asked.

"Well, nothing paranormal I assure you. V.H.A wanted to make me the ultimate predator, so they enhanced my strength and speed." I shrugged, but I didn't tell them about my encanced senses because if I did they would make sure not to whisper in front of me, and I wouldn't want that.

"What's V.H.A?" Elena questioned.

I gave her a sly smile.

"I don't think I can tell you that just yet." I said.

"Well, I am in need of a shower. That disguise as Elena leaves me feeling....itchy." I said, standing up and winking at Damon as I started towards the stairs.

In a flash, Damon pinned me against the wall.

"Why shouldn't I kill you right now?" Damon growled, choking the air out of my lungs.

"Because....I..can........help." I choked out.

"Help with what?" Stefan asked, appearing behind Damon and putting a hand on his shoulder.

Damon eased up on his death grip.

"Elena is in danger. So are a lot of innocent people in Mystic Falls. Elena is the doppleganger, do you not think other people want her? She is the exact replica of Katherine. I can help you protect her." I said.

I decided not to mention Klaus again, because it was obvious they knew nothing about him yet.

Stefan turned to look at Damon, but Damon was soley focused on me.

"Damon." Stefan said.

With a growl, Damon released me and turned toward his brother.

"How do you know we can trust her? We don't even know her." Damon said angrily to Stefan.

"We can trust her." Bonnie said, speaking for the first time from the doorway.

Everyone turned to look at her. Including me.

"I've been using a truth spell this whole time. Everything she's said is the truth." Bonnie said, giving me a strange look.

It was quiet for a long time.

"I still say we kill her." Damon muttered.

"You do that and I'll take you down right here. No other innocent life is going to die tonight." Bonnie said, giving Damon a death glare.

I raised an eyebrow at this, wondering who else died tonight.

Damon grumbled under his breath and left the room, picking up the glass he had in his hand when I first came in.

"Well, I guess that's settled than." Stefan said.

He turned to me. "How about a fresh start?" He said, extending a hand to me. "I'm Stefan."

I shook his hand and replied, "I'm Alila, but please, call me Lil."
