A Walk to Remember - The Vampire diaries

You're Undead to Me

A few days later of Stefan having locked Damon the cellar he goes to the door where his brother is locked up.

"Where is my ring?" Asks Damon when he sees Stefan. He feels weak because he has not drink blood in a few days. He's out of energy.

"Won't need it anymore." Responds Stefan to his brother. He did not want to have to have his brother locked up but he saw no other option to stop all the evil that Damon was doing. Damon groans.

"How long have I been here?" Asks Damon weakly.

"Three days." Answers Stefan.

"What are you doing?" Continues Damon with the questions.

"During the dark ages when a vampire's actions threatened to expose or bring harm upon the entire race, they would face judgment. They sought to re-educate them rather than to punish them." Explains Stefan to Damon

"You know what will happen if I don't... Feed on blood." Damon says weakly.

"You'll grow weaker and weaker. Eventually you won't be able to move or speak. In a week your skin will desiccate, and you'll mummify. A living corpse." Stefan pauses in his explanation and look to his brother's eyes. "Unable to hurt anyone. Ever." Finish Stefan seriously.

"So what, you're just going to leave me in the basement, forever?" Asks Damon.

"I've injected you with enough vervain to keep you weak. Once your circulation stops, I'll move you to the family crypt, and then in 50 years, we can re-evaluate." Says Stefan to him. Damon gives Stefan a strained chuckle.

"I'm stronger than you think." Tells Damon to his brother.

"You always have been." Admits Stefan. "But you're not stronger than the vervain. And we both know it." He tells his brother. Then Stefan looks sadly to Damon. "I'm sorry. Didn't have to be this way." Stefan then leaves Damon alone.

Meanwhile, at the Gilbert house, Belle wakes up once more thinking of Stefan. It's been 3 days and he had not told her anything only left a voicemail on her phone. She picks up her diary to write but looks at the blank page without knowing what to write. She then decides to get out of bed and go to the bathroom to start getting ready to go to school. When she opens the bathroom door she sees Vicky inside brushing her teeth. She looks at the girl in confusion.

"I... I'm sorry, I'm almost done." Tells Vicky to Belle. She gives Vicky a small smile.

"It's... It's ok. Take your time." Tells Belle to Matt's sister. She then understands that Vicky is with Jeremy. After getting dressed she goes to the kitchen to drink coffee and finds her aunt Jenna there.

"Jenna!" Calls Belle whispering. "Are you aware of what's going on upstairs?" She asks to her aunt.

"Uh-huh." Hummed Jenna affirmatively.

"And you have no objection?" Asks Belle in shock.

"He could be craftier about it, At least make an effort to sneak her in and out." Explains Jenna. "Oh, and just so you know, I won't be home for dinner." Jenna warns her niece. Belle looks at Jenna with a teasing smile.

"Oh, so you're actually going to do it. You're gonna go out with Logan." Says Belle with a smile to Jenna, making fun of her aunt.

"I'm going to show up and torture him, yes." They both chuckle. "And have you heard from Stefan?" Ask Jenna with curiosity.

"Not since he left that very vague message three days ago." Explains Belle. Then she clears her throat to try to imitate Stefan's voice. ""Hi, um, Belle, I, um, have something I have to do. I'll, uh, explain in a few days.""
