The Reason I'm Alive Today

Chapter Eleven: As Long as I Love You

()

I awoken to the sound my brothers fighting, I quickly to the source of the noise and with a yawn and asked, "What are you two fighting about?" "It's nothing, Vita. You should go back to bed." "Okay, just please stop fighting." I begged as Damon said, "We'll try." I ignored him as Stefan asked, "Do you need any help?" "I'm fine, Steffy. I was sleeping on the couch anyways." I told him before leaving, later woke up I made my way to Ric's apartment to see if Elijah was still here since he was probably still with Klaus. When I arrived I knocked on the door only for Katherine to answer it. "Oh great, it's the one I can't get rid off." "Please Katherine, I just want to talk to Elijah." "What for? To apologize to him or tell that you forgive him?" She asked sarcastically as I shivered in fear suddenly a familiar voice called out," Katherina, who's at the door?" "Just the Salvatore's sister." She told them but I could hear a tint of fear in her voice. I wonder why? "Let her in. I heard someone say as i she moved aside, I walked inside to see Elijah and Klaus. i smiled a bit as Elijah asked me with worry, "What happened to you!? oh i just hit a tree i'm though i just need to heal. I told him as Klaus asked, so i assume your brothers sent you? sent me for what I asked confused but before he could explain Stefan appeared asking for his help. Klaus told him that he needed to fulfill his deal with Elijah however he stabbed him, "Elijah! I screamed his name in horror as Klaus then attempted to stake my brother, Stefan!" I cried out in fear as he told Klaus he could do whatever he wanted with him he just wanted a cure for Damon. At that moment I was confused and scared, "Stefan, What's going on?" I asked with fear as Klaus asked him mockingly, "You didn't tell her?" "Stop!" Stefan told him then said to me with a grimace, "We didn't want you to worry..." "About what?" I asked as he sighed sadly, "Damon was bit by Tyler Lockwood when he tried to help them from being sacrificed." My eyes widen in fear, "No!" I said as tears fell, "That's why i'm here. I need Klaus to help me find the cure." He finished but Klaus told him that Stefan won't be any use to him because of who he is now. I was shocked that he knew that Stefan was a ripper worst of it he was going to make him become it again after showing us that his blood was the cure by using Kathrine as an example. Klaus now pour his blood into a container while asking Stefan to join him by becoming a ripper again. Stefan politely declined but Klaus started to pour it down the drain, "No wait! I'll do it!" Stefan! No!" I cried as he told me, "Please Vita, He's my brother." "And you two are both my family so this is my fight too." I argued before facing Klaus asking him, "Can we talk alone please?" "Alright, Miss Vicario." He told me before giving Stefan another bag of human blood. I now left to the Salvatore house I made my way to Damon's room only to see him looking sick, "Oh my gosh, Damon!" I weeped as he told me through pain, "Vita, I'm sorry. I didn't want you to see me like this." "Then when did you want to see me?" I asked hurt as he joked, "I guess nows a good time. I'm so sorry Damon-" I started but I cut me off saying, "It's not your fault, It's mine. Besides it's me who should be apologizing. I'm the one who killed everyone you loved and i'm sorry. I'm sorry I can't change. I'm sorry for not being there when you needed me, i'm sorry for not being the best big brother lately you and Stefan." I started crying telling him with a hug, "I know, I'm sorry too!" "For what?" "I don't know! For you dying?" He started to laugh while hugging me back when I separated I cried. Suddenly Katherine appeared telling him about the deal Stefan made, I felt my heart break as I kissed my brother goodbye before I sped away as fast as I could to Ric's apartment where I found Stefan draining a woman of her blood as Klaus praised him. I sighed sadly as I followed them, I wanted to take one last look of Mystic Falls however I thought I heard something before leaving.

As I guided Ms. Vicario to the car I saw her look the window sadly then had a look of bewilderment as she rolled it up I smiled as I thought of our deal, "Can we talk alone please?" She asked as I gave Stefan another bag of blood I closed the door behind us as she spoke, "Please, I can't let you do this do my brother." "You're not ever blood related. Why should you care?" I asked her curious as she answered, "They're my family! I would die before they do!" Interesting, I said before adding, since this is the case, How about we come up with a deal?" "I-Is it like the deal you made with Elijah?" She asked nervously, "Smart girl but no it's not. I propose that you come with us as for Stefan he'll be unaware of this." "How about we cut his time in half and you can have me for longer." "Why would I want you while I can a ripper?" "Because.. She started to trail off then said quickly, Because i'm different then any other vampire I had ever met. Please!" She begged as I thought then asked, "Can I do anything to you?" I saw her face grimace in look of pain but she slowly nodded her head, "Yes, you can. I smirked a bit at her naive nature but took out my hand, "We have a deal." She let out a breath talking it as we shook we made up conditions she could say goodbye to Damon. I had to give Stefan some slack as long as she obeyed my every command. As long as she did everything I said we would get along just right.
