chapter twenty: girl into graveyard.

Her fingers twitched at her side, blonde locks framing her porcelain skin, the ache to touch the boy in front of her almost impossible to ignore.

Stefan was looking at her with such an intensity that it made her stomach flutter. Unfortunately, it wasn't linked to anything romantic at all.

After realizing Elena was sired to Damon, he couldn't stop obsessing over it. Neither could Skye, really.

It didn't happen often, and she was worried for Elena. She didn't know how much of her free will would be taken away because of this.

Elena had become her friend, despite their differences.

Skye wanted the girl to be safe and happy, but she wanted her to be so on her own terms, not because of some freaky sire bond.

The blonde knew it was a bit different for Stefan, he still loved Elena, and this would give him hope for another chance with her.

It hurt to think about them getting back together, but Skye just had to suck it up.

She'd been moping quite a lot lately; it was time for her to take control of her feelings and try to be happy.

Just because she couldn't be with the boy she liked, didn't mean that she had to stop living.

Focusing on the task at hand, Skye sighed. They had been going over this for hours, basically the entire night, seeing morning light was already starting to trickle in through the blinds.

Stefan didn't want to believe Elena was affected so strongly by the sire bond, but all the evidence was there.

'This is a terrible mess,' Skye spoke aggravated, a headache pounding at the back of her eyes.

'We don't know anything for sure,' Stefan butted in, keeping firm in his belief that Elena wasn't affected that badly. Skye wanted to shake some sense into him.

'Elena is sired to Damon, which means her one singular burning desire is to make him happy, just like Klaus and his hybrids. It isn't that hard to understand, Stef.'

'No, it's not. A vampire sired to another vampire is one in a million. Maybe it won't affect her the same way.'

Skye didn't know who he was trying to convince, her or himself.

'We already know it's affecting her. Everything he says, she agrees with. Everything he asks her to do... she does.'

Reasoning with Stefan was impossible, really.

Stefan looked at her, his head tilted slightly to the side, taking in her words. Skye couldn't help but bite her lip.

She had no idea what they could do about it, except talking to the people concerning the situation.

The thought to call Elena and talk to her about this was present, but they weren't good friends enough for Skye to just spring this on the girl.

'If this is true, then it may have influence on Elena's every action and emotion since she became a vampire. We can't just talk to her about this,' Stefan seemed to have the same idea as her.

'Maybe Caroline can talk to Tyler? See how this sire connection between him and his hybrids works. It can give us some insight on the entire thing. I don't know much about it unfortunately, it never interested me enough to learn more about it.'

Stefan's eyes locked on hers, his brows furrowing, 'You really think it's the same?'

Skye shrugged, 'Perhaps. I'm not certain, but it won't hurt to ask.'

A heavy sigh left Stefan's lips, but he nodded, nonetheless. He knew just as well as she did that they had to do something.

'I'll talk to Damon too. I know he probably won't believe me, but I can try.'
