Heretic, #Stefan Salvatore Story#

Founder's Day (1×22)

It was Founder's day and Godrick was eating cotton candy. He was happy. The vampires would be delt with by tonight and Matt was out of the hospital so he didn't have to be part of the floats. All in all, it was a great day. Now if only he could stop feeling guilty about Stefan and his imminant death it would be a perfect day.
Godrick was muching on his suggary treat when Stefan and Elena walked towards him.

The vampire informed them of his thoughts on John and his involvment with Isobel. Elena was having trouble believing it.

"John? Is that even possible?"

Stefan shrugged heplessly.

"There is no proof, but he dated Isobel when she was a teenager and he was the one who brought her to your dad's office for the delivery."

The girl was rattled, this changed so many things, it confused her.

"My whole life I've never liked this man. I..."

Godrick steped forward to hug his sister as Stefan apologized.

"Sorry, I'm sorry. I just...I wanted to tell you before Damon dropped it on you on some typically inappropriate way."

The vampire was to nice sometimes. Elena pulled out of her brother's hug and took her boyfriend's hands in hers.

"No, I'm happy that you told me, I just...I really hope that it's not true. What I am supposed to do? Do I just...confront him and say "are you my biological father?""

The young man didn't really know what to say to that.

"I guess when your ready."

Elena scoffed a little at that and gave him a sad look.

"I'm never gonna be ready. Stefan, I have enough problems with the family that I actually care about. Jeremy hates me, and why wouldn't he? My journal gave him every single reason to."

Godrick was the one to reassure her.

"He's young Elena. Young and hurt and angry but it will pass."

She didn't seem to agree.

"He's never going to forgive me for Vicki, for taking away his memories, for lying to him. At least you told him the truth."

That made her twin pause. Yes, he told him the truth, and that had felt great but now he was lying to her and it hurt. He had lied to her many times before without thinking twice about it but this time it was different. This time she was old enough, mature enough, and she had enough knowledge to make her own desicions and maby he should let her. That thought in mind he gave his twin a kiss on the forhead and ran into the crowed.

He wasn't going to stop the entire plan because he felt guilty but he was going to do what was necessairy to protect those he loved. Just in a different way this time. He had been so focused on keeping his siblings physicaly healthy that he complitly forgot the mental aspect of things. He couldn't let them lose someone else, espacialy not by his hand.

Carol Lockwood was presenting the floats as they passed along main street. Godrick was in the crowd watching the parade pass by. He needed to talk to his brother but Jeremy was on one of the floats so he will have to wait for the parade to be over.

"Let's give a big hand to the Mystic Fall's high school Marching Band! And for a little local history, Mr. Saltzman's students have recreated Virginia's Battle of Willow Creek. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our stunning Miss Mystic Falls Court and their handsome escorts. This is Caroline Forbes, Miss Mystic Falls. Aren't they beautiful?"
