Stronger than the rest

chapter 2

Light shines into my eyes as I feel my consciousness return. A groan escapes my lips as I put my hand to my head and sit up.

"Your awake." A female voice states and I groan again.

"You killed me." I mutter as is tare at the bonds haired, blue eyed woman. "I should be dead."

"That is the beauty of my spell, you will not die. You will be stronger and faster then anything else." Esther states as she grabs my hands and pulls me to my feet. "And you shouldn't worry about your beauty any more. But we still need to complete your transition." Is tare blankly at her. "Of you will truely die." My eyes widen and I step back.

"I will die?!" I back up against the wall.

"Evangelina, please calm down. You will be fine, I promise. Just drink this." She hands me challace of red liquid.

"What is it?" I ask as I sniff.

"You just need to drink." The liquid tastes matalic on my tongue, but I want more. "Human blood." I spit the remainder of the liquid, now blood, back into the cup and glare at her.

"You just go me to drink human blood?! I am not a barbarian!" I screech as I put the cup onto the bedside cabinate. "You are insane!" I storm out of what is a bed room and down the stairs. My eyes widen and so does everyone else's in the room.

"Evangelina?" Henrik stands from the table and walks over to me. "What is on your face?" I frown as I wipey face and see blood on my hands and dress. "What happened to you?!"

"Its a mistake, I was out late last night.... And got hit... By an arrow... Yeah, an arrow. Some hunter from another village shot em thinking I was an animal." I reply. "It is all very misty, your mother found me and brought me back. Actually, that Is why I was out there at night... I was helping esther collect some herbs." I state, hoping they will beleive my lie.

"Just as long as you are okay..." Elijah stands and come sto my side. "What was mother thinking? You can't ho out looking like this.... Rebekah, get some clothes for Evangelina and help her get changed." Rebekah nods as she grabs my hand and leads me to her room.

"You must have gone through so much pain, and an arrow straight to the heart? You should be dead." Rebekah states as we enter her room.

"It just missed my heart actully. It was fired at an odd angle." I reply and he smiles at me before pulling out a long, deep blue dress which laces at the front. As I am about to unlace my dress, the door opens.

"Evangelina, child, you forgot you ring... You should never take it off. It is important that you don't. Your great aunt would hate that." Esther states as she hands me a ring. It is small and made out of silver. A blue stone is set in the middle.

"Esther, it think-" I start but she interrupts.

"That the blue dress would suit it? I was thinking that too. And I need to talk to you after you are changed." She leaves and Rebekah smiles at me.

"That is a beautiful ring." She states as I slip it on my middle finger on my right hand. And I must agree, it is a beautiful ring, and must be expective. "I wonder what my brothers will think if you put that ring on your left hand." I blush at the thought and the get changed, Rebekah helping me lace up the front.

"I can see that Elijah, Kola nd Henrik have fallen for you." Rebekah states and I frown.

"I know of Henrik and Kol, it is village news. But Elijah? He loves my sister like any other man in the village." I reply and Rebekah giggles.

"Elijah is different from any other man. He is one of honnor." Her lips keep moving but no sound come from them. My visiom gets covered by black spots and I see Rebekah start panic. My head hits the floor and I see Rebekah shout with tears pouring down her face. The rest of the Miklaeson family enter, along with my sister. I feel a pull on me. A different type of pull, mental, not physical. Someone scoops me up in their arms and I feel the swaying motion of me being carried. My throat begins to burn and I feel weak.... I watch as a face comes into view... Elijah....
