Heretic, #Stefan Salvatore Story#

The Return (2×01)

Godrick and Stefan ran to the house after Elena called them. The ambulance carrying John drove away as an officer stood in the house doorway. Godrick tried to make his way inside but the officer stops him with his arm.

"My name is Godrick Gilbert. I live hear."

The man nodded and let him and Stefan pass. They made their way up the stairs and to Jeremy's bed room. There they found Elena standing in the boy's doorway. Godrick moved forward and hugged his twin. She squeezed his tightly to her chest to reassure herself. To many people close to her almost died tonight. It was overwelming.

The twins stayed wraped around each other for a long time before they were both secure enough in the other's well being to let go. Elena looked at her boyfriend and gave him a quick hug before pulling back as he looked into her brother's room.

"What happened."

The girl wiped any remaining tears and answred the question she had asked her brother not  ten mins erlier.

"He said that Anna gave him her blood and then he took these pills and now...I mean he looks fine but then again so do you. So, I just...I don't know."

The vampire nodded in understanding before stepping away from her and going to examin Jeremy. He took the boy's chin in his hands and looked at his eyes.

"Come here. Look at me."

The young Gilbert just huffed.

"I'm fine, okay? I feel exactly the same"

Elena was not reassured.

"Should I call a paramedic up here? What should I do?"

Stefan took a good look at the boy's pupils before letting go of his head.

"No. He's fine."

Jeremy looked at the flour desepointed.

"You mean I'm not a vampire? Damn it!"

Elena didn't understand why he would want to be a vampire. There were good sides of it but so many bad sides to.

"Don't say that Jeremy! Jer, why would you want that?"

Tears burned in the youngest's eyes.

"Did you hear about Anna, what happened to her tonight? She's dead."

Godrick's head shot up in his brother'd direction. He didn't know Anna was one of the vampires that died. The irony of the situation did not escape him. He had warned his brother yet it was his sister's boyfriend that survived the night.

"I'm sorry Jer."

The boy didn't take his eyes from the floor. Stefan took his arm and dragged him on to the bed.

"Jeremy, Jeremy. Come here, sit down."

It took some effort but he got him there and he looked into his eyes to make sure he had his attention.

"I am very sorry about Anna, but it's very important that you listen to me right now. With every passing moment, Anna's blood is leaving your system. If you try to kill yourself right now, you could really die."

The teen just averted his eyes so Stefan slaped him to wake him up from his funk.

"Hey! Do you understand me?!"

Elena protested at the rough treatement but it finaly got a response from her brother.

"Yeah, I understand."

The vampire stood up satisfied.

"Good."

The Salvatore made his way back to the door where the twins were waiting. Elena was still a little worried. She didn't know exactly how things worked and her fears were taking over.
