Broken - Kai Parker - The Vampire Diaries

Chapter Three - Changes

As soon as she got to the dorm room she could already hear Caroline behind the door speaking I a loud panicked voice. "We need to ring the police or something. I know somethings happened to her. When I found her earlier she'd been attacked but I healed her. What if they came back and found her?"

Emily slowly opened the door, anxious about what would await her. As she glanced around the room she saw her three friends, Elena, Caroline and Bonnie, staring at her wide eyed looking more worried than she'd ever seen any of them before.

Standing near the desk was a tall man, probably a bit older than them, with pitch black hair and piercing blue eyes. Next to him another man. Softer and much more gentle looking than his friend. "See!" The raven haired on exclaimed. "I told you she'd be back. No biggie. She probably met up with someone and lost track of time, right.... Emily is it?"

She was so confused. Who were these two strangers and why were they here in your dorm room?

"I.... I'm not sure what happened. I... I went outside to phone my brother and... I don't know. I don't remember. I woke up in an alleyway and had no idea how I got there. and my head. It was throbbing. And my gums. They ached Don't badly. And I was so so hungry and... oh god... what did I do?!" The room was silent. No one spoke for what felt like forever, but was really probably only seconds.

The younger looking of the men slowly walked over to her. "Emily..." he said, gently placing a hand on my shoulder and looking me in the eyes. He had beautiful eyes. He looked kind and patient. "You need to tell us exactly what happened. What did you do after you woke up?"

"I... no I can't have done. I wouldn't..."

"Emily. Look at me. What happened. Trust me. Whatever ever you did, we can fix this. Just tell us."

" I was so hungry... when I went to the grill it was all closed up but the guy working there was really kind and let me come sit down and went to get me some water. Something smashed. A glass I think. His hand was cut. I could smell the blood. How could I smell that?! Then I don't know what came over me. I just needed his blood. I... Fangs. I had fangs! He's dead Caroline..." she turned to her blonde hair friend "he's dead! I killed him!!"

With that, the girl burst into tears and collapsed onto the ground. The three girls huddled around her, hugging her, telling her it would all be okay. But she knew it wouldn't be. Nothing was ever going to be okay again. She heard a whoosh, then a second woosh straight after. When she looked up both the men were gone. She looked at her friends in confusion. "I think we need to explain some things to you Emily"....

An hour later Emily was sat on her bed... eyes puffy from all the crying, head throbbing from everything she had just been told by her 3 best friends. Vampires exist. Witches exist. And apparently even Werewolves exist! How could any of this be real? And now she was a vampire, along with Caroline. Elena has been a vampire too apparently but not long before Emily started at Whitmore, she had taken a cure so now she was officially human again. Good for her. Bonnie was a witch. Quite a powerful one apparently! She showed off a few of her spells. Lighting some candles, making a feather float in the air.

Caroline explained that the only reason she was still alive was because when she found her earlier that evening she had fed her some of her blood to heal the wound on her neck. She had died with Caroline's vampire blood in her system, and that's how she had become a vampire.

This was all far too much and Emily struggled to process it all. But it was real. All of it was real. She was a vampire and she had fed on the first human she found. There was no going back now. This was her life.

Emily had asked about the two men. Stefan and Damon Salvatore. They were vampires too but much older than Caroline. Damon was Elenas boyfriend (who she had mentioned a few times) and Stefan and Caroline apparently had a bit of a "thing"...

A heavy knock sounded on the door and in the two men walked. "Right. All sorted."

"What do you mean?" She said, looking at Damon in confusion. "I mean, it's all sorted. Done. Finito. You don't need to worry about it. Just know it's done"

Emily shook her head and stared at the floor "Well, so much for gratitude hey brother!" He said, slapping Stefan on the back.

"Sorry. I... Thankyou. Both of you. All of you. I'm just..." "Confused, shocked, scared? We know. We've been through it too and believe me when I say it does get easier. We're all going to be here for you." Stefan said, crouching down so he was at eye level with the young girl. He stood up again and walked over to the girls.

"I think it might be a good idea for her to come and stay at ours for a few days. Just until she's settled properly." He said in a very matter of fact way.

"No. I want to stay here. No offence but I don't know either of you..." she said. Twirling a piece of her brown hair around a finger.

"I get that. But it's going to be much safer for you to be with us" he said, gesturing between himself and Damon. "Safer? For who? For all those innocent people walking around oblivious to the fact I'm now a bloodsucking, killing machine?!" Sobs started to leave her mouth and she felt tears falling down her cheeks.

Elena gently sat next to her on the bed and pulled her in towards her, softly stroking her hair. "Shhhh... it's okay Em. Look. If it helps I can stay there with you? Then you won't be alone?" Emily sniffed a couple of times and looked up at Elena with tearful eyes. "Are you sure? I don't want to be a pain for anyone. I... I'm so sorry this has happened." The tears came again as she sobbed into Elenas shoulder.

Her emotions felt so heightened right now. She wasn't usually like this. "Of course I'm sure silly. Come on. Let's get some bits packed up. You'll even have your own bedroom. It's a real mansion Em. You'll love it!" She gave you a gentle, sympathetic smiled. And Emily gave a small, forced one back.

This wasn't going to be easy, but at least she had people around her who cared about her and understood what was happening.
