Heretic, #Stefan Salvatore Story#

Lost Girls (1×06)

Godrick took a step back into the shadows as he watched the confrontation between his sister and the vampire unfold.

"What are you?" Stefan's shoulder's slumped as he looked into her eyes.

"You know."

The girl shook her head in denial.

"No, I don't."

She didn't want to believe it. It couldn't be true.

"Yes, you do, or you wouldn't be here."

But Elena still refused to believe. Those things didn't exist, they were just stories.

"It's not possible. It can't be."

Stefan didn't try to deny it anymore. She knew what he was now she just needed to accept it.

"Everything you know...And every belief that you have is about to change. Are you ready for that?"

She wasn't ready, or maybe she was. She was confused and she didn't know what she wanted but she knew what she needed. She needed him to admit it out loud. She needed to hear the word from his lips.

"What are you?"

And so he said what she waited to hear.

"I'm a vampire."

He hadn't finished talking that she was shaking her head. This was crazy, it couldn't be real it just couldn't.

"I shouldn't have come."

Turning around Elena made her way to her car as Stefan tried to stop her.

"No. Please."

She ignored him so he did the only thing he could think of, he ran in front of her at supernatural speed. Forcing her to confront the reality of the situation only made her panic though.

"No. No. How did you do that?"

Stefan could see the fear taking over her face and he didn't want that.

"Please don't be afraid of me."

Again, she didn't listen, she needed space right now, and time to think. Vampires were real and one was standing in front of her. And, oh god she needed to get out of here.

"Let me go."

But Stefan couldn't. He couldn't let her leave without explaining himself first.

"No. Elena, there's things that you have to know and understand."

She didn't have to know anything she just wanted to leave, but if he didn't want to move then she will just have to walk around him, and she did.

"Let me go!"

She was in her car and driving away before the Salvatore could do anything more.

"Elena. Please."

Godrick, who had witnessed the entire exchange looked at the unmoving vampire with a raised eyebrow.

"You know this is usually the moment when the guy runs after the girl to try and explain himself."

The words were spoken sarcastically but that didn't make them any less true so the vampire listened, leaving Godrick behind.

The Gilbert boy had no intensions of going back home right now but he didn't want to stay here either. He was about to leave when he remembered. Zack was killed by a vampire, and the town couldn't know that. That meant they couldn't have a proper burial for him and he couldn't stand for that.
