Little Sister ♡ TVD [1][𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃]

- Fool Me Once -

Emma was suddenly jolted awake, the first thing in her line of sight was her sister hovering over her. She opened her mouth to speak when Elena held her finger up, as a 'shh' signal, and pointed behind her to a guy sleeping on a chair in front of the bed that Emma was laying in. Her eyes widened, realizing the girls were in some musty old motel room instead of Elena's bedroom. Elena mouthed 'It's okay' to her and helped guide the young girl off the bed while making as little noise as possible. Elena grabbed her hand, and they tiptoed closer to the guy.

Emma reenacted Elena's movements, quietly stepping over the guy's out stretched leg. It was then when she recognized the guy. She had met him the day before at the Grill when she had reunited with Bonnie. What was his name? Max? Jacob? She discarded her attempts to remember the guy's name and followed Elena to the door of the room.

Elena brought her index and middle finger up to her own eyes and then pointed to the guy, indirectly telling Emma to watch him.

The girl nodded in response and did as she was told while Elena tried to move the chain on the door. Elena was able to get it unhooked and moved to unlock the door. Emma glanced over to see the progress her sister made, and at that split second when she looked away, there was a voice behind them.

"I wouldn't."

The girls spun around to see the guy standing in front of them. He walked up to Elena, pinning her against the door, and stared into her eyes.

"Don't try to escape. Don't even move. Do you understand?"

Elena looked up at the guy with blank face. "I understand." she said in a monotone voice.

Emma couldn't help but look to her sister in disbelief. How could her sister go from trying to escape to willingly obeying what the guy told her? What was going on?

The guy smirked and walked over to the dresser. In the blink of an eye, Elena snatched Emma's arm and opened the door, freedom at their fingertips. Their shot at escaping was stopped when Anna appeared and grabbed onto their arms and shoved them back inside.

As the short girl pushed the sisters towards the bathroom, she gave the guy a disappointed look. "Seriously?" she said, gesturing to the girls.

"I told her not to move! I did that eye thing you taught me." he said, waving his arms in the air as he defended himself.

"You forgot the lesson on vervain. She dates a vampire, Ben, duh!"

That was right. His name was Ben. Emma thought back to Anna's last sentence and clung to the word that rattled her brain. Vampire. There was no such thing as vampires.

Anna opened the door of the bathroom as Emma and Elena tried their best to get away. It was no use.

"Who are you? What do you want?" Elena demanded.

"Doesn't matter." Anna said, and pushed them inside, locking the door behind them.

It was dark inside, and Emma groped the wall in search of the light switch. When she found it, the small, dirtied ceiling light illumined the tiny bathroom. The oldest Gilbert turned and tried to take a picture off the wall but it was glued to the wall. Emma looked around, seeing a sink and a toilet all on one side of the bathroom. Her gaze fell upon the tub, seeing someone passed out inside. The person out cold was Bonnie.

"Elena." she breathed out, pointing toward the sleeping Bennett.

Elena gasped and quickly went to her side. She tried to shake her best friend awake.

"Is she dead?" Emma asked, tears starting to form in her eyes when Bonnie's eyes didn't open.

Elena pressed two fingers on Bonnie's neck, checking for a pulse. She sighed in relief.
