An Elemental Difference - AIR - Book 1 (Stefan Salvatore)

Chapter 13 - Surprise!

Damon now held Vicki's head looking into her eyes, "Stefan Salvatore did this to you."

"Stefan Salvatore did this to me," Vicki repeated back to him.

"He's a vampire," Damon smirked. "A vicious, murderous monster."

Aella ran to the building, she saw the three figures on it and looked up. She knew somehow she could use her air magic to allow the sound to travel to her, but she hadn't practiced that and didn't think now was the time. Instead, she recalled a spell she saw in her grandmother's Grimoire, " Soat sunt soni quidam errantes audiente me sic procul . "

Instantly, it was like she was on the roof with the three of them, and her stomach twisted when she heard her boyfriend begging Damon, " Please, Damon, Please don't do this. "

" If you couldn't fix it before, I don't know what you can do now. "

Aella heard something rip, and Vicki screamed in agony, " Aah! "

" Ugh, " Damon spat. "Y our choice of lifestyle has made you weak. A couple of vampire parlor tricks are nothing compared to the power you could have, which you now need. But you can change that. Human blood gives you that. "

Aella frowned, Stefan had told her of him drinking animal blood, but she didn't know it made him so much weaker than if he drank human blood. Wasn't blood, just blood?

" You have two choices, " Damon started talking again. This guy really liked the sound of his own voice. " You can feed and make her forget. Or you can let her run, screaming ' vampire ' through the town square. "

"That's what this is about? You want to expose me? "

" No! I want you to remember who you are! "

" Why? So what, so I'll feed? So I'll kill? So I'll remember what it's like to be brothers again? You know what, let her go. Let her tell everyone that vampires have returned to Mystic Falls. Let them chain me up, and let them drive a stake through my heart because at least I'll be free of you. "

Aella wanted to throw Damon off the roof and ground her teeth in anger as he continued to bully and belittle Stefan.

Stefan glared at his brother when suddenly Damon fell back a bit towards the edge of the building. Damon looked to Stefan immediately in alarm, "What was that?"

Stefan shook his head, but he knew it was, and from the scent coming from the stairs on the side of the building, he knew it was Aella, he just didn't know how if she wasn't facing Damon.

Damon shook the incident off and instead concentrated on Vicki, "Huh. Wow. Come here, sweetheart."

"No!" She sobbed, stepping backward towards Stefan.

"It's okay." Damon nodded and pulled Vicki towards him, gently stopping at her ear rather than her neck and whispering in her ear.

Damon soon pushed Vicki towards Stefan and sped away. "What happened? Where am I?" Vicki suddenly asked, very confused and then felt something wet on her neck, "Oh, I ripped my stitches open. Ugh..."

"You okay?" Stefan cautiously asked.

Vicki nodded, looking around where she stood before she stumbled over to the stairs.

Aella noticed the noise of someone using the side stairs, and when she saw Vicki coming down alive, she breathed a sigh of relief. She went to the start of the stairs and took Vicki's hand, "Thank God you're okay, Vick."

"What?" Vicki questioned, disoriented, stumbling into Aella's body.

"You went missing," Aella reminded her. "I just found you here."
