Sooner or Later

Charlize looked to Stefan. "I think it will help. I'm still kicking now, so I doubt I used that much magic."she told him with a soft smile, and she moved her feet. "Can you tell I'm used to being on the go all the time?"She chuckled. She leaned back slightly and rested her head on the pillows. "Thanks again. I guees I neex to quit doing so much."

-

Damon looked to Elena and shook his head. "I'm alright, Elena, if need be I will head home real quick and come right back." He informed her and he walked over and put his arms around her. "I'm just glad you're okay."he whispered to her before bringing his fingers through her hair.

Stefan laughed as he looked towards her. "I've been telling you that." He told her with a charming smile. "I'm off to find something to eat, just get your rest. I'll be back." He told her, leaning down to give her a kiss on the forehead. He walked outside, closing the door behind him. Town wasn't too far from here, so he decided to walk. He soon made it there and walked inside Mystic bar. He ordered himself something to drink and downed it, he then found a brunette. After compelling her, he drank some of her blood and gave her some of his blood. Once all was done, he headed back to the house. Once there, he went inside quietly and sat down in the chair, propping his feet up on the table. He was soon asleep.

Elena smiled as he put his arms around her. "Good." She said softly. She turned and got in bed, snuggling under the comfort of her warm blankets. "Join me?" She asked with a smile as she propped her head up on her hand and watched him.

(next morning?)

[Okies.]

When Charlize woke the next morning she felt a lot better than ahe had the nigbt before, even if her legs were still a bit numb. Ahe stayes snuggled.up in her spot though and she looked.over to Stefan and smiled. She pullex the blanket around herself and soon got up and sat down in his lap.

"Wake up."she whispered. "You are surprisingly warm and I am freezing."

-

Damon had cuddled with Elena that night and things felt right. He was stikl worried though. If the witch apirits wanted Elena dead, then they only had two real fighters Nd one he knew for sure was out of commision. He gently shook Elena awake.

"Read.for your lessons, Buffy?"he teases before sliding out of bed. "I'm going to head home and shower. I'll be by soon to pick you up."

[newmommy1993]

Stefan's eyes opened and he smiled. "I wasn't asleep. Just resting." He said, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer. "It's weird. This house has water, but no heat." He said. "We could go back to YOUR house, if you want." He asked as he looked at her. He gentle set her off him as he stood up, cracking his knuckles and neck. The door blew open and Lewis stood in the entrance, glaring at the two. "Did you really think you could rid of my that easily?" He growled, Stefan stood protectively in front of her, but pain shot through his head and he crumbled to the ground, groaning in pain.

---

Elena opened her eyes and looked at him. She yawned and sat up, nodding. "I am." She sad and got out of bed. "I'll see you then." She said and waited until he left before she got in the shower. The house was quite and calm, so she figured everyone was out. When she was finished in her shower, she put on some blue jogging pants, white tank, and a matching windbreaker. She pulled her hair up in a ponytail and went downstairs to make herself something to eat.

Charlize.looked to Stefan when he fell down and something took over in her and she brought her hand up, and blew him to the wall and managed to get over to him and her eyes darkened. "I told you last night. You don't get to hurt him. Not ever."she hisses and she brought her hands to either side of his face and he soon slumped to the ground. "You don't deserve life, or power."she said and she turned and snapped his neck before she felt.light-headed. The world was blurring and soon she fell ro the fround, her eyes rolling back slightly.

-

Damon got in his house and showeree and got himself ready for the day. He wore jeans and a t-shirt and he headed back to the Filbert home before shooting Stefan a text, asking how things were there. His brother meant a lot to him, despite it all.

He looked to Elena when he came in and smiled, "Ready to go."

Stefan took several minutes after the pain subsided to regain himself. He looked up. Lewis was on the ground, crumpled and lifeless. Charlize was next to him, but thankfully she was still breathing. He made his way over to her, picking her up. They had to get back to her house, it was much safer then staying here. He stepped over Lewis' corpse and left, flashing back to Charlize's place. He kicked open the door and went upstairs, laying her down on the bed. She looked in bad shape and she needed the blood. Stefan bit his wrist and brought it to her mouth. A few drops of blood went in. He pulled back, gently wiping away drops that were on her face. He pulled a blanket up over her and sat down in a rocking chair, waiting for her to wake up.

His phone vibrated and he pulled out, reading the text from Damon. He just sent back a simple "yes" before putting his phone on silent.

Elena has finished her breakfast and was washing her dishes when Damon walked in. She turned to give him a smile. "Cool. Let me leave Jere a note, and Alaric. She said, getting a notepad and pen. She jolted what she was doing down before putting it on the fridge. She then followed Damon out. "So, what are we doing today?" She asked, feeling refreshed from a good night's sleep and simple breakfast, with some juice to wash it down.

[BeautifullyxMad]

Damon looked at his phone and nodded to the message before he looked to Elena. "So I figured we could practice in the woods, so no one sees and gers suspicious."he said to her with a smile. "I've got some of Ric's stuff in my car."

He watched as she wrote her noted and they headed outside, and into hia car and they headed off towards the woods.

-

Charlize had been out for a while, her breath eventually slowing to a stop. She quit breathing, and her heart did the same. She had used too much of her magic, and the consequences sunk in. She had been long prepared though, after she had dealings with vampire blood the first time, ans she had made herself a daylight ring in case it ever arises and it was locked with the Grimoire. She hadn't told anyone aboit it, and her body laid there lifeless, but her spirit was looking down at her.

[newmommy1993]

Stefan kept his hearing tuned in closer to her, making sure everything was okay, but they weren't. Stefan got alarmed when she quite breathing. "No.." He muttered, standing beside her. "Char!" He cried out, gently shaking her, but her heart stopped along with her breathing. "Please, Charlize, wake up.." He muttered. He remembered what happened to Bonnie's mom when she was changed. She lost her powers, she was no longer a witch in most means. He shook her a little more. "Wake up!" He growled and dropped her a little more forcefully then he originally planned. "Please..." He pleaded, but she wasn't coming back, at least not the person she was before. Coming back as a completely different person.

---

Elena nodded. "Sounds like a plan to me." She said as they headed to the woods. When they were parked, she helped him load some things out and started setting up. "Now what?" She asked as she straightened and turned towards him.

[BeautifullyxMad]

Charlize finally returned to her body and when she took that first breath, she knew. She grabbed hold of Stefan's hand, and looked at him. "I knee there'd be consequences. I told you that, didn't I?"She said. She couldn't feel anything already. The pain the at it brought her was almoat unbearable, but she had known death was to come. She juat didn't expect to become a vampire, even if she was prepared for it.

"Look at me."she told him, bringing a hand to his cheek. "I'll be okay. Somehow I knee this day would come. I have been unconnected to nature before. It will take adjusting, sure, and I'll need help. But you have to believe I'll get through this. I do too."

-

Damon smiles after they set up and he handes her a knife. "Hit me."he told her. "Think of me as your personal punching bag for the day."he told her, and he could feel his phone vibrating j. His pocket. He chose to ignore it though, and juat went on looking at Elena, waiting for her move.

[newmommy1993]

Stefan slumped helplessly down to the ground, but he couldn't take his eyes off her lifeless corpse. She was dead because of him. When she gasped for air, he became alert and shot up. He nodded, but still felt like it was his fault. "I.. I'm sorry, Char. I should've been more on guard, I should have been listening for him." He said. He felt angry at himself. "D.. do you want blood? I can get you some..." He said softly. A blood bag would have to do, it would work and help her complete the transition just as good as fresh human blood. "Only if you want it..." He said softly, he couldn't help but take the blame for everything that has happened.

---

Elena held the knife, staring at him with her mouth open. "Damon, I.. I can't." She stammered, she looked at the knife, then back at Damon. She then jsut sighed and nodded stiffly. "Fine." She said. After several hesitant minutes, she lunged at Damon with the knife, ending up in front of him, her arm behind her, the knife in his side.
