"You need to teach me this coffee. It's delicious" Vivienne shook her head then looked at Vicki.
"Well what if I wanna drink human blood?" Vicki asked.
"You're gonna have to learn to live with that urge" Stefan said, "and fight it on a daily basis one day at a time."
"Oh god, don't start with that whole twelve steps thing" Vicki groaned, "school counselor has been down that road and it doesn't work with me" Vicki said.
"It can work, it's your choice Vicki" Stefan said.
"So you've never tasted human blood?" Vicki asked.
Vivienne and Elena looked at Stefan curiously.
"Not in a long time." Stefan said, as if not wanting to discuss it.
"How long?"
"Years and years." Stefan sighed, leaning on the chair, "I'm not proud of my past behaviour"
"Ugh" Vicki groaned, "does this sketchy feeling ever go away? It's like I have a massive hangover. This day light thing is a bitch" Vicki stood up, "I need more blood. Where's your bathroom? I have to pee. Why do I have to pee I thought I was dead?"
Stefan pointed upstairs and Vicki went there.
"You weren't kidding about heightened emotions" Vivienne said.
"I'm gonna...get her some more. I'll be quick"
"Ooh, get me some more please" Vivienne held her cup.
Stefan took her cup, smiled at her and walked away to get more coffee.
Vivienne and Elena stood up, looking around.
"This house is huuugeee" Vivienne said looking around.
"Mhm." Elena nodded.
Just then Vicki came back.
"False alarm. My body's feeling really funky. It's a good funk, but it's weird" Vicki went over to the table and grabbed her phone.
"Who are you calling?" Vivienne asked.
"Jeremy"
"Vicki you can't see Jeremy anymore."Elena said.
"Oh come on, don't you start. I'm gonna see whoever I wanna see"
"Even though you could hurt him?"
"I would never hurt Jeremy"
"Ok! We're not here to fight, please can we just-"
"I know you think that." Elena said, completely ignoring Vivienne, " but I can't take that risk. You're gonna have to let Jeremy go now."
"Oh really?" Vicki slammed her phone down, "and how long have you been preparing the whole 'you're not good enough' speech? I'm assuming it predates the whole vampire thing."
"all I'm saying is that Jeremy is not getting involved in any of this. I mean it Vicki." Elena said.
"Or what?"
Suddenly Vicki grabbed Elena by the neck and pushed her against the wall, choking her.
"Let's get one thing straight you perky little bitch." She raised Elena higher so she was standing in her toes, "you had my brother whipped for 15 years. 15.years. And then you dumped him. When i look at you, that's all I see"
"Alright Vicki, enough" Vivienne marched up to the two and grabbed Vicki by the shoulders, but let go as soon as she saw the red light coming.
..••..••..••..••..••..••..
"She threatened Elena." Vivienne said as she and Stefan watched Elena practically run away.
"She's on edge. Imagine every sense in your body operating at super speed. I mean she's uncomfortable in her own skin"
"I got it. But like is there any type of, like any way we can tell how long it's gonna take for her to control herself?"
"There's no rule book. Every vampire learns it differently. And looking at her history of drugs and all those medecines, it's not gonna be easy" Stefan said.
"How long before you were able to control it?" Vivienne asked, "just out of curiosity"
"A while. I did have someone to help me, so it was a little easy" Stefan said.
"Damon helped you?" Vivienne asked.
"No, it was uh, a girl named lexi. She eventually became my best friend though"
"I'm gonna pretend that didn't hurt me."
They both chuckled.
"Anyway you continue"
"Right well, as I was saying, it's hard to resist some people when you're new. It's difficult to separate your feelings. Love, lust, anger, desire. It all blurs into one thing. Hunger."
"So Jeremy can't see her right now. Got it. She could hurt him, or worse.."
"I'm not gonna let anyone get hurt, I promise you" Stefan said.
"I know. I trust you" Vivienne smiled at him, "I do have to get to school though."
"Right. Okay" Stefan nodded with a smile.
"Hey, don't take too much stress, alright? If you need any help feel free to call me, okay?"
"Got it, thanks"
