What Are You Part 2

What are you? What are you? Elena kept yelling

You know.

No, I don't.

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

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

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

What are you?

He's a vampire

She looked at me in surprise

I shouldn't have come.

No. Please.

Stefan...She trusted you...I trusted you

Elena ran towards her car but Stefan appeared in front of her

No. No. How did you do that?

Please don't be afraid of me.

Let me go.

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

Let me go!

Elena, please.

Elena grabbed me and we drove away

How did you know she asked me

I scoffed

pretty obvious

Elena POV

Stefan appeared in my room

I tried running away but Stefan pushed the door shut and cornered me

Inanna burst into my room

I would never hurt you. You're safe with me. Stefan said

Inanna put herself in front of me in a protective position

All those animal attacks, those people who died...

No. That was Damon!

Damon?

Yes. I don't drink human blood. That's not how I choose to survive, but Damon does! I'll explain everything to you, but I beg you, Elena, do not tell anybody.

How can you ask me that?

Because you knowing this is dangerous for so many reasons. You can hate me, but I need you to trust me.

Just go. Just go, please. Go. If you mean me no harm, then you'll go!

I never wanted this.

Elena....

I crashed into her arms and cried
she put her arms around me and stayed in my room for the night

You said you would explain everything. That's why I asked you to meet me here. When you Google "vampire" you get a world of fiction. What's the reality?

I can tell you whatever you wanna know.

I know you eat garlic.

Yes.

And somehow, sunlight's not an issue.

We have rings that protect us.

Crucifixes?

Decorative.

Holy water?

Drinkable.

Mirrors?

Myth.

You said you don't kill to survive.

Animal blood keeps me alive, but not as strong as Damon. He can be very powerful.

And yet you let him get involved with Caroline? Inanna said pissed off

Forcing Damon not to do something is much more dangerous, believe me.

He was hurting her!

He was feeding on her. He was able to take away her memories of being bitten using a form of mind compulsion. She never knew what was happening to her. If he wanted to kill her, he would have.

Is that supposed to make it ok?

No. No, none of this is ok, Elena. I know that.

Are there any others, aside from you and Damon?

I glared at him

...Not in Mystic Falls not anymore.

Not anymore?

There was a time when this town was...very much aware of vampires, and it didn't end well for anybody. That's why it's important that you don't tell anyone.

I can't promise that.

Elena...Give me today. I will answer any questions that you have, and when it's over, you can decide for yourself what you wanna do with what you know. It'll be your choice.

I decided not to go with them

I need to talk to Elena alone

after awhile of just walking around i walked home to find Jer Matt and vicki

Whats going on I asked

Vicki is fucked Jer said

Stef and Elena walked in

What's going on? Elena asked

She's really messed up.

Elena, back up. Vicki, look at me. Focus. You're gonna be fine. Everything's gonna be fine.

Guys, take her up to bed. Shut the blinds. She's gonna be ok. Come on. Come on.

Matt and Jer took Vick upstairs

You know what's wrong with her? I asked turning to Stefan

Yeah.

What is it?

She's transitioning.
