Elena shook her head then went to the living room.

Suddenly, there was stomping coming from upstairs, and Vicki soon came in view with Jeremy following after her.

"Vick!" Matt ran after them, "Vick!"

Stefan and Vivienne looked at each other before running out behind the three, Elena following close behind.

When they reached outside the house, Vicki was already gone.

"She was fine one second and- and then she just freaked out and ran away" Jeremy tried to explain.

"We'll find her, don't worry" Vivienne said, putting a hand on her little cousin's shoulder.

"I can track her." Stefan whispered to Elena.

"Go." Elena said.

Stefan started walking away but Vivienne stopped him.

"Wait, where are you going?" Vivienne asked.

"To track Vivienne down" Stefan told her.

"I'll come with you" Vivienne said and stood beside him.

"No you're not. It's too dangerous, she can hurt you-"

"I'm coming." Vivienne said, standing her ground.

Stefan sighed before nodding.

"Let's go, come on" Stefan said and the two started rushing away to find Vicki.

..••..••..••..••..••..

Soon it was nightfall.

Stefan and Vivienne were now walking around the forest as Stefan said that he traced Vicki there.

And sure enough, the two soon found her sitting under a tree, crying.

"Vicki.." Stefan said calmly, trying not to alert the girl.

Vicki looked up at the two, sniffled and said,

"I'm starting to remember things. What he is, what he said. I remember you, the hospital. The rooftop....its all coming back." She said. 

"I'm so sorry..."Vivienne went over to Vicki and crouched down in front of her slowly.

"Vivienne. Careful." Stefan said, trying to stop Vivienne, but she was already comforting Vicki.

"Damon had no right to do this to you." Stefan pointed out.

"He said that I have to feed. What happens if I don't?" Vicki asked, looking up at Stefan.

"You'll face quickly...then it will be over quickly" Stefan said, sugarcoating it.

"I'll be dead" Vicki nodded.

"Hey.." Stefan crouched down beside her as well, "I know it's hard...but it'll be all right. I'll help you"

"Is it better?" Vicki whispered, "will it be better?"

Stefan looked down, giving Vicki her answer.

"I wanna go home. Will you take me home?" Vicki sobbed.

Stefan nodded and stood up, holding Vicki's hand.

Suddenly there was a gunshot.

The two girls looked up to see a bullet wound in Stefan's chest.

They both looked back at the guy who shot Stefan, and it was Logan.

"What the hell logan?!" Vivienne stoop up and marched towards him.

"It's for your better. Move." Logan pushed past the girl and ran towards Stefan.

Logan crouched down beside Stefan, pulling out something from his pocket.

"Stop it!" Vivienne tried pulling Logan away, but he pushed her back harshly, causing her to go hit a tree.

Logan pulled out a wooden stake, and aimed it at Stefan's chest.

Just before he could push it in, Damon sped over and pulled Logan away.

He dug his teeth into Logan's neck and drank his blood until damon was sure he was dead and threw Logan back on the ground.

Then, Damon proceeded to crouch down beside damon, and pull out the bullet out of Stefan's chest and examined it in his hands.

"It's wood. They know." Damon said and threw the bullet.

Stefan raised his head to see the bullet then put his head back down.

"Viv...Vivienne.." Stefan tried pointing at Vivienne who was lying against the tree.

Damon looked back at Vivienne then sped over to her.

"Take your jacket off. I need to see how bad the wound is" Damon said.

"No it's fine...I'm fine" Vivienne said, trying to sit up straight.

"Sure you are. Not like I smell blood. Come on now." Damon pushed Vivienne ahead slowly, holding both her shoulders, as Vivienne took her jacket off.

Damon leaned back to see a bunch of blood patches and frowned.

"What's wrong..?" Vivienne asked, noticing his silence.

"Uh, nothing. Nothing." He slowly pulled her back to the tree, getting her to rest her back again.

Then, Damon bit into his wrist and put his hand infront of Vivienne.

"Here," he motioned her to drink.

"No I can't- I-"

"You'll only turn if you die with this blood on your system" Damon said.

Vivienne sighed before taking a hold of his wrist and slowly bringing it up to her mouth, and drinking the blood.

She pulled away after a few seconds, immediately wiping her mouth on her jacket.

"Yuck"

"Alright now, you get home, we'll take care of this" Damon jabbed his head in the direction of Logan's body.

Vivienne peaked over at it and saw Vicki feeding from it.

"Vicki no!" Stefan and Vivienne shouted.

Vicki slowly looked up, blood covering her mouth.

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry.."
