The Truth Part 2

Chapter 8: The Truth Part 2

"WHAT ARE YOU?!"Elena asked Stefan. He stays silent. I'm starting to get annoyed. "WHAT, ARE YOU?!"she asks again. He nods. "You know."he says. She shakes her head. "No I don't."she mutters. "Yes you do. Or you wouldn't be here."he says. She shakes her head. "It's not possible."she whispers to herself. Oh it's very possible sis, I thought but decided to not say anything. "Look everything you know. Everything you believe is about to change. Are you ready for that?"he tells her.

"What are you?"she asks again. "He's a vampire."I say and he looks at me as if to say 'How the hell do you know that?' "I shouldn't have come."she says and runs off. He follows her at vamp speed and I follow pulling out my gun. He tries to grab her but she struggles in his grip. I pull her away and put her in the car. I try to go in the drivers seat but Stefan stops me. "Please I can explain just listen-"he says but I cut him off by shooting his leg. He bends down and groans in pain. "I trusted you!"I yell and get in the car. So much for pretending to hate him. I drive away with Elena looking at me like I just killed someone. "For the record he won't die."I say and she nods hesitantly.

We get home and run into my room. "Ok you got thirty seconds to explain to me why you aren't freaking out and how you knew that would hurt him!"she yells walking further into my room. I sigh. "I can't."I say. She scoffs. "What do you mean you can't?!" she yells again. Before I can respond I feel a gust of wind behind me. "Midnight."A voice said. I whip around and see Stefan there. Elena runs for the door. Stefan goes to follow her but I gab his shoulder and throw him back against the wall with strength I didn't know I had. Elena stopped and turned around. I backed up and took a protective stance in front of her.

"Please. I would never hurt you. Just let me explain."he says standing up and moving towards us. "All those animal attacks, the people who died."My sister whined behind me. "No that was Damon." he says. I felt my heart drop. "Damon?" I say, my voice cracking just a bit. "Yes. He feeds off of humans but I don't. That's not how I choose to survive but Damon does. Just let me explain."he begs. "Then leave. If you won't hurt her then you'll go."I state sternly. He doesn't move. Just stares at me. "GO STEFAN!"I yell making Elena flinch behind me. "I never wanted this."he mumbles and just like that he's gone. I run and lock the window.

"Go to bed. We'll talk in the morning."I say still facing the window and running a hand through my hair. "Mid, about Da-" I cut her off. "DON'T say his name!"I yell. I turn around and see she is close to tears. "I'm sorry."I whisper. "Just- Just go to bed."I whisper. She nods and leaves closing the door behind her. I let out a frustrating...howl? I stop dead in my tracks. Did I just howl? Ok, I think it's time to read dad's other letter. I go to my closet and grab the other enclosed envelope. I open it and the letter read:

Dear Midnight,
If you are reading this, you are wondering what is happening to you. I can't explain exactly but you should know to never take that necklace off.

I stop reading and look down at my necklace. I soon continue reading.

Especially on a full moon. Just know you'll be ok. Goodbye my pueri, et lunam.
-Dad

What? Why did he call me pueri, et lunam ? What does that mean? All well, I had a long night. I don't even bother to change. I just collapse on my bed and fall asleep.

THE NEXT DAY

I was walking in the door of the Salvatore boarding house. Elena was with Stefan getting some answers while I decided to hang out here. I hear loud music in the parlor. I walk in there and see Damon dancing, a bottle of bourbon in his hand...wait, Damon!!! "Hey Mid, what you doing here? Let me guess, Stef Stef FINALLY fessed up."he slurred on every word as he spoke. I was debating on either to slap him or hug him. So I was just standing there. So I finally got the courage to walk up to him and...hug him.
