Bloodlust → Stefan Salvatore [1]

The Sun Also Rises

Greta stumbles away, leaving Elena and I sitting beside Jenna in awe. How could this happen? How could Klaus use Jenna as the vampire in the ritual? Jenna grabs her head and winces.

"Oh, my head." She groans

"Do you remember what happened?" Elena asks Jenna.

"You called me. You were so scared. I should've realized it wasn't you. The second I walked out of the house, someone grabbed me. A vampire." Jenna explains.

"Klaus." I realize.

"He made me drink his blood. I don't remember anything after that. Where are we? What happened?" Jenna asks, beginning to freak out.

"We're at the quarry. He brought us here." I tell her.

"Why don't I remember anything?"

"Jenna, do you remember when i told you how someone becomes a vampire?" Elena asks her.

"Uhm, yeah. If you die with vampire blood in your system, it's--" Jenna cuts herself off, "Oh, god. He killed me." Her face goes blank. Elena grabs her arm.

"Jenna, listen to me. Everything's going to be okay, I'm going to get you out of here." Elena promises her.

"I'm a vampire?" Jenna asks unbelievably.

"And you must be starving." Greta cuts us off. She approaches us with a rock in her hand. Without a second of thinking, I stand up and run at her. Greta waves her hand, as my feet are swept off the ground, and I fall farther away from Jenna and Elena. I sit back up, seeing two rings of fire separating Elena and Jenna, with me on the outside.

"Klaus will kill the werewolf and the vampire, and then it'll be you." Greta says in my direction. Elena runs towards Jenna, but the closer she gets to the fire, the more it intensifies. "Don't bother to get through. I've spelled the circle. You're trapped." Greta informs Elena.

"Greta. Please, just let her go." Elena begs Greta. Greta grips the rock hard, and slices her wrist open. She approaches the fire around Jenna as it dims. She holds her wrist out, offering the blood to Jenna.

"No, Jenna! Don't!" I try and stop her, but I already know that she won't be able to fight the urge.

"Drink it." Greta demands. Jenna opens her mouth wide and wraps it around Greta;'s bloody wrist. She squeezes Greta's arm tight, and moans at the satisfaction of her first taste of blood. Greta rips her hand away, as Jenna falls on her side. She backs away as the fire lights once again. Jenna slowly sits up, and gazes over at Elena and I. Her mouth is covered in blood, and her eyes turn dark red, revealing her lust for blood.

After Jenna has calmed down a bit, and Greta has left to "run an errand", Elena begins asking her questions, as I pace around the boundaries of fire. "How are you feeling?" Elena questions. Jenna sighs.

"Like myself... only I'm not. The fire is brighter, warmer. I'm terrified, but part of me doesn't want to feel anything." She admits.

"Vampires can turn off the part of them that's human. That's the part that hurts." I explain to her.

"I'm gonna die, aren't I?" Jenna hesitates.

"No, absolutely not. I won't let that happen!" Elena scolds her for even thinking that. We all hear a yell from the woods, as we turn slightly. Greta walks out of the woods, holding a girl's arm in his right hand.

"Who's that?" Jenna asks. Greta drops the girl to the ground. She rolls over, as her face is revealed. It's Jules.

"Jules?" I ask aloud.
