Chapter 6: Smells Like Teen Spirit

Samathea laid awake in her bed, staring at nothing, then her alarm went off, she turns it off and her hand lazy slips away from it, she sighs then throws the covers off her, then gets off the bed. She then walks over to her mirror stand, sighs and pulls back her hair, then looks down at her neck, seeing the bite mark that Stefan left her. She sighs and lets her hair back down.

She then heard a knock on her door, she turns and saw Elena looking at her, "Hi." Samathea greets her, Elena smiles a little and then walks into her room. "How are you doing?" Elena asks her with worry, Samathea sighs and shrugs, "Okay, I guess." she answers. Elena moves over to her other side and then lifted her hair, to see the bite mark and her markings, "Here, I think I can help with this." Elena states, pulling out her makeup, Samathea smiles a little, then moves her hair over her shoulder and Elena dabs at the bite, "Remember when we use to steal mom's makeup?" Elena asks her, Samathea smiles. "Yeah, she would just laugh to see the mess on our faces," she states.

Then the bite was fully covered and Samathea smiles at her, "Thanks, Elena." she smiles at her, Elena nods at her and gave her a hug, that was well needed. Samathea tense at first but then, relax in her arms, then rested her head on her shoulder. "Thanks, I really needed this," she tells her and Elena just smiles at her and then pulls away. "You've been through a lot. You need family, more than ever." Elena tells her, Samathea smiles at her and nods. "Yeah, I do need family," Samathea tells her, wiping away her tears. "Alright, I need to change," Samathea tells her, Elena nods and left the room.

3 minutes later, Samathea walks out of the room, wearing track pants with, a red tank-top, a tack coat, and sneakers. She walks out and saw Elena was wearing the same thing then Alaric steps out, "Good morning." Elena said to him, but his press his fingers to his forehead and held up his other hand, they look at him in confusion and then watches him walk down the stairs. Elena looks at Samathea, she looks at her shrugs, then they both look at Alaric and followed him downstairs.

Out in the woods, Alaric was in front of a dummy, the twins stood behind him as he thrust his fist forward and the stakes stuck to the dummy, he then moves back, "So the pressure of your punch, injects the stakes." he informs them, Elena nods and steps forward. "Easy enough," she tells him, ready herself and then throws a punch at the dummy.

But the stakes didn't go in, "That's weird." she mumbles and Samathea crosses her arms, then Elena tries again, the same result. He then looks at the device on her wrist and slaps at it, "Must be jammed or something." she groans. "You're not strong enough," Alaric tells her, Elena steps back and glares at him, then Samathea moves forward and ready herself. She exhaled and then throws a punch and one of the stakes stuck in as she pulls back. "You're strong, Sam. Just not strong enough." Alaric tells her, then Samathea turns and glares at him. "You both need to lift weights, but some meat on those bones," he tells them and walks back over to his back.

"Thanks for not sugar-coating it," Elena tells him as they followed him. He then held up a grenade, "You both know what this is?" he asks them. "Vervein grenade, I've used one before." Samathea answers. "Then you know your element of surprise, is this only when it comes to a vampire." he tells them, then pulls the pin and tosses it in Samathea hands, "Surprise." he states, "Oh shit." Samathea mumbles then turn and threw the grenade and it explodes in the air. She pants softly and turns back to him, "This isn't a joke to us, especially not to me, Ric." Elena snaps, pulling off her stake device from her wrist. "No, it's not Elena. You think I'm joking?" Alaric questions her.

"Vampires will take whatever they want, they will hurt whoever they want and they will do it without remorse. It's their nature." Alaric tells her, Samathea shifts in her spot and uncross her arms, "You don't have to say pronouns to save Stefan." Elena tells him. He just nods, "Ok, I get why you're here, Stefan hurt your sister and you don't want it to happen again." Alaric tells her, Elena just sighs. "But you think that I'm crazy, to believe I can protect my little sister from a vampire that flips the switch on his humanity," Elena said to him, and he sighs.
