Gifted (Vampire Diaries Fan-fiction)

Differences-Chapter 4

Brianna POV

"Look at the bright side, if you become a vampire, you can kill people and get away with it" Damon says as he rolls his eyes. Stefan glares at him before turning his gaze back to me. The thought of drinking human blood keeps swarming around my head, making it hard to think about anything else. My side burns.

"Are you okay?" Stefan asks, looking at me cautiously

"Hey, I'm just telling her what she can look forward too, killing people is the only thing we have well other than compelling them" Damon mutters. Stefan looks up and I follow his gaze. Katherine is standing a few feet away, just by the stairs holding a mocha colored coffee cup.

"Elena-" Damon says, walking towards her. "-how nice of you to join us" Elena? Why would Damon call Katherine Elena? Unless that was what Katherine was going by. She must've made some kind of lie to Stefan and Damon so they would let her stay. But Stefan seemed to smart to fall for her lies and Damon...well that was another story. I didn't realize that all eyes were on me until I look up.

"Brianna...I want to introduce you too....this is Elena" Stefan says. Katherine's standing close to Stefan and that's when I notice that Stefan's arm is wrapped around Katherine's waist. Oh. Now I could see why Katherine hadn't left. Stefan was in love with her.

"Nice to meet you" Katherine says, holding her hand out. I look at it before returning my gaze back to her face. Katherine lets her hand drop to her side, she looks....hurt.

"Brianna, Elena's the one who wanted us to help you" Stefan says through gritted teeth. Impatience begins to show on his face.

"You expect me to believe that?" I ask, looking at Stefan.

"Yes you should believe that-" Damon says walking towards me "-because Elena's the only thing stopping me from ripping your throat out" Anger and shock pulse through me. Why would Katherine stop Damon from hurting me? As far as I knew Katherine was selfish, compulsive, and manipulative. She didn't care about anyone other than herself, so why start caring now? Stefan and Damon put up with her so why shouldn't you? My mind says to me. They welcomed you to into there house the least you could do is put up with Katherine. I clench my jaw.

"Thanks....Elena" I say surprising myself. Just because I had to put up with Katherine didn't mean I had to like it. It must show on my face because Katherine just nods. She hands Stefan the coffee mug before turning her gaze back to me.

"Where are you from?" Stefan asks as he crouches down next to me.

"I'm from a little town not far from here" I reply.

"So what were you doing here in Mystic Falls?"

I feel my eyebrows knit together. I try to remember the last thing I did before I woke up here. My mind replays what I did throughout the day. I went to the store,then home, I did a bit of cleaning....and then dad texted me to meet him at the library....suddenly a rush of images assaults me as I remember what happened.

"I wasn't here-" I say. The images start moving faster and faster. "-I was suppose to meet my dad at the library but he wasn't there"

"Do you remember what happened after that?" Stefan asks.

"It was getting dark so I decided to go home. I went through an alley because it was getting colder and it was getting hard to see. I was going through the alley, and then I felt hands grab me from behind. I couldn't breathe and then everything went black" My mind reels backwards as if trying to remember a movie.

"I was in the forest, and I heard people talking...my neck hurt and I tried to get away. I was running and someone hit me...."

"And then?" Stefan asks.
