Heretic, #Stefan Salvatore Story#

You're Undead to Me (1×05)

It seemed that meeting in the middle of the forest in the early hours of the day had become their thing because that is what they have been doing for the past three days.

Godrick would go on his morning run and eventually run into Stefan who would inform him of his brother's state and then they would talk about Elena. Godrick would ask the vampire to call his sister before she lost her mind, and the vampire would moan about the secrets he had to keep and the lies he had to tell. They have been having this conversation three days in a row without getting anywhere.

"If you're so tired of lying to her than tell her the truth!"

"And how is that going to go. Hey Elena, I'm a 160 year old blood sucking abomination of nature. I'll pick you up at seven."

Three days of this and Godrick had enough. Stefan wasn't the only one lying to Elena, he has been keeping a great many secrets from both his siblings for a long time now and he had a feeling he was going to be keeping secrets for a long time still. There was a lot of things his sister wasn't ready to know and vampires no longer made the list. So, he gave Stefan an ultimatum of sorts.

"I know my sister Stefan and if you don't tell her what you are, she is going to figure it out on her own. The question is, do you want her to find out from horror stories or from her boyfriend."

Godrick didn't let the Salvatore answer as he took off running back to his house. He knows that the vampire could catch up to him easily if he wanted to but his point was made and he had nothing else to say. The ball was in Stefan's court, it was his choice as to how he played it.

---------------------------------------------------------

Godrick made his way through the students of the school to join his sister and her best friend as they looked at Caroline in stupefaction. The blond cheerleader was walking around distributing flyer about the upcoming fund raiser with a bright smile on her face. Elena was the one to speak up and put their confusion into words.

"Unbelievable. It's like nothing happened."

Godrick had heard what happened to the blond from both Elena and Stefan and he would admit he didn't expect to see her at school so soon. And Bonnie seemed to agree.

"She's in denial."

Any sarcastic comment Godrick was about to make was cut short as Stefan joined them, his eyes locked on Elena's face.

"Hey."

Bonnie and Godrick exchanged a look before the girl spoke up.

"Hey. You know, I gotta go. Be somewhere right now."

It wasn't very subtle, but the Gilbert boy's excuse wasn't any better.

"Yeah, and I have to help her with... huh never mind. Bye."

Walking away Godrick made his way to his locker and got ready for another boring day of class. Someone kill him already.

---------------------------------------------------------

It was after school and Godrick was reading Samantha Gilbert's journal on the porch swing in front of his house.

The poor women went crazy, through no fault of her own really, she was a victim of circumstances and her life story was testament of what a life in the supernatural world could do to you. Whether you want to be involved or not some people are just doomed to get pulled in and, eventually meet a tragic and sometimes gruesome end. He was at the passage where she talked about her family ring when someone joined him on the porch swing. Godrick didn't look up as he greeted his new guest.
