On My Own (TVD Series)

Future Plans

"So, any idea of where you'll go?" Stefan asked Damon, walking into the living room.

"I don't know. London, maybe. See some friends."

"You don't have any friends, Damon." I blurted out, sitting on a chair with my legs hanging off the arm.

"You're right, Lauren. I only have the both of you, so...where are we going?"

"'We' are not going anywhere. I'm gonna live my life as far away from you as possible, Lauren will come with me if she chooses but I'd doubt she'd go anywhere you're heading." Stefan said sarcastically.

"But we're a team. We could travel the world together. We can try out for 'The Amazing Race'."

"Hmm. That's funny. Seriously, where are you going? Cause we're not staying in this town." Stefan asked.

Hearing the bell ring at the front door, the three of us turn our heads before either of us goes to open it.

Turning the knob, I opened the door to see Sheriff Forbes at our doorstep.

"I'm here to see Damon."

"Uh, sure. Okay." I whispered as he walked up behind me.

"Sheriff. What a surprise."

"Sorry to bother you, but we need to talk."

"Come in."

Stepping aside, Stefan and I return back to the living room, while the Sheriff and Damon head outside through the backdoor.

"What the hell do you that is?" I asked him, sitting back down in my seat.

"I have no idea."

'There's been another attack. A female victim, her throat torn out, completely drained of blood. It fits the pattern."

'I'm sorry, I don't understand. I thought we solved that problem when I...staked the blonde one.'

'I'm thinking she must have turned someone or multiple someones. I don't know. The story for the town is another animal attack., but I'm not sure how long we can keep lying to them.' Sheriff Forbes whispered.

'So, uh, what do we do?'

'You're the only one who's ever taken on a vampire. We were hoping you could tell us.'

Sitting in the living room in silence, Stefan and I looked up at each other in a curious tone.

Hearing them come back into the house, Stefan and I sat very still and said goodbye to the Sheriff as she left the house.

"Thank you for coming by."

"Let me know what you come up with." Sheriff Forbes said before leaving.

Yet, the second Damon closed the door, Stefan flew out of his seat and pinned Damon up to the door.

"What is wrong with you? You killed somebody?" He hissed.

"Get off of me."

"A, don't touch me. B, if I had I wouldn't have been so obvious about it. C, there's another vampire in town." Damon whispered, grabbing his bourbon glass.

"That's impossible." I blurted out.

"Obviously not."

"Then who could it be?" Stefan asked.

"Ah, what do we care? We're leaving anyway, right?"

"No, we can't leave now, and you know that. How are we supposed to find this person?" Stefan asked.
