HEART LIKE GLASS

"What are you? What are you?"
Elena asked the two boys, seemingly in a slight panic.
"You know."
Stefan said calmly as Roman shoved his hands into his pockets.
"No, I don't."
Elena weakly protested shaking her head.
"You do Elena, or you wouldn't be asking."
Roman sighed rolling his eyes.
"It's not possible. It can't be."
"Everything you know, and every belief that you have is about to change. Are you ready for that?"
Stefan asked seriously making Roman roll his eyes.
He couldn't figure out why Stefan made it such a big deal.
"What are you?"
Elena asked again raising her voice.
"We're vampires."
Roman told her stoically.
Elena let a gasp fall out of her mouth as the color drained from her face.
"I shouldn't have come."
Elena shook her head turning to leave.
"No. Please."
Stefan tried to call out, Roman sped in front of Elena making her jump back.
"No. No. How did you do that?"
Elena stuttered taking another step back.
"Please don't be afraid of us."
Stefan pleaded.
Elena ignored him trying to push past Roman.
"Let me go."
She hissed.
"No. Elena, there's things that you have to know and understand."
Stefan tried to reason with her.
"Let me go!"
Elena shouted trying to push Roman.
"Elena, please."
Stefan pleaded again.
Elena grunted in frustration shoving her hand into Roman's face.
Roman clenched his jaw as he looked at Elena.
The long cut she had just made on his face healed instantly making the girl's eyes widen.
Elena quickly ran past Roman and to her car.
"Don't worry brother, she can't stay away."
Roman tiredly told Stefan.
Any other day Roman would have been more helpful to Stefan, but today he just wasn't in the mood.
And he knew Stefan would spend all day calming Elena down.

"Wait. Where did you learn this game?"
Stefan questioned Damon as Roman laughed.
"Camp outside Atlanta. One of the officers picked it up at Harvard. Catch!"
Damon threw the ball at Roman as the youngest sibling caught it with ease.
"Wait what are the rules?"
Stefan exclaimed as Roman and Damon wrestled for the ball.
"Who needs rules? Mind if I join?"
Katherine approached them smirking.
"Yes."
Roman sighed under his breath.
Katherine held back a glare.
"You could get hurt. My brothers like to play rough."
Stefan said timidly.
"Somehow I think you play rougher."
Katherine smirked at Stefan, snatching the ball from Roman.
"Why are you just standing there? That is a girl who clearly wants to be chased."
Damon chuckled.
"If we're lucky she'll be chased by wolves."
Roman grumbled as both Stefan and Damon slapped him on the arm.
"If you don't do it, I will."
Damon smirked at Stefan as both brothers chased after her.
Leaving Roman annoyed and alone.

"Roman."
Katherine smiled approaching the youngest Salvatore.
"Miss. Pierce."
Roman sighed.
"You know, your brothers have taken a liking to me. Why not you?"
Roman glared down at a smirking Katherine.
"Believe it or not Miss. Katherine but I have a different preference then my brother."
Roman growled out.
Katherine chuckled rolling her eyes.
"You think they like me just because of what I look like?"
Katherine rose an eyebrow.
"No I think they like you because you're messing with their heads."
Roman hissed as Katherine glared.
"From now on you will see me as your best friend and you as mine."
Katherine compelled.
That was one of the many reasons Roman hated Katherine Pierce.
