Amber was lying on the bed, her hands and feet tied. Jeremy was sitting on his office chair, watching her from a salama distance.
“Let me go” Amber said. “Please, let me go”
Jeremy didn’t move. He wished Kelsey would get back soon. It had taken him all his strength to tie Amber up.
“Let. Me. Go!” Amber screamed. She moved her body up and down and pulled her hands to make them loose.
“Sssh! Shut up!” Jeremy alisema when he heard footsteps on the stairs.
“Jeremy?” Alaric said. “Is everything okay?”
“Eh, yeah, I’m watching a movie on my computer” Jeremy replied, with his...

Kelsey watched how Stefan and Katherine took off from behind a tree. It had been this close before she got busted. She came from behind her mti and walked further into the woods in the direction of the hotel Klaus had kept his prisoners. At first sight the place seemed to be deserted. She entered the hotel and covered her mouth. The bodies were lying there for a little longer than a mwezi now.
“You get used to it”
Kelsey startled. She recognized Klaus’ voice.
“Don’t be rude” Klaus said. “Turn around. I can’t compel you, so I’ll have to trust on your manners”
Kelsey slowly...

Caroline was sitting on her bed, in the sunlight. Though it was nearly noon she wasn’t dressed yet. The moment she got nyumbani she had jumped into the kuoga and stayed there for hours. It wasn’t until her mother threatened to cut off her phone she got out. Liz Forbes was still under the impression Caroline had spent all that time with her father, so as much as she would’ve wanted to curl up against her mother’s warm body and cry, she had to pretend everything was okay. She would explain it all on a better time. Right now she still had too much to worry about. And Tyler didn’t respond...

A cold wind teased Kelsey’s naked body and she shivered. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around. There was nothing but leaves. Kelsey searched the ground with her hands and they touched something cold and solid. She slowly and fearful rotated her head. When she saw her sister’s body she gasped and covered her mouth. “Oh my God” she started crying as she crawled to Amber. “Amber, wake up. Please, honey, wake up” But Ambers eyes remained closed. “I’m so sorry, Amber. This is all my fault” she sobbed.
“Hey, wewe didn’t do all of it. I kicked some punda too”
Kelsey looked...

Alaric looked at his cell mate, who looked like he wanted to snap Ric like a twig, when he heard Damon talking to the police officer that had arrested him. They walked behind the corner in the direction of the cell. Halfway Damon stopped and stared in the police officers eyes. The man walked away and Damon walked to Alaric’s cell.
“Okay, stop laughing” Alaric said, seeing how the corners of Damon’s mouth started to tremble. “Seriously, stop laughing. It’s not funny”
Damon couched. “You’re right. It’s not”
“I take it everything’s okay with Elena?” Alaric tried to change...

“Damon, I feel sick” Elena moaned. The racing had made her feel nauseous. And her neck beat painful. Damon braked, but kept Elena in his arms. He examined Elena’s wound. “That looks awful”
“It hurts” she complained. Her face was withdrawn and she gagged, but didn’t throw up. Damon pulled her up and held her with one arm. His other arm he brought to his mouth and bit. He held the wound against Elena’s lips. “No” Elena groaned. “I don’t want that. It’s disgusting”
“You have no choice. I’m not letting wewe die” Damon said. “Come on, drink”
Elena averted her...

When they were almost at the edge of the woods Stefan held his steps. He stuck his arm out, to make Amber stop as well. She took advantage of the pause.
“Stefan” she breathed fast. “I’m really sorry. I wish I could undo everything. This is all my fault”
“Ssh” Stefan hissed.
“I know this isn’t the right time, but there might be no other chance” Amber continued.
“It wasn’t your fault” Stefan alisema avoiding, while he carefully looked around and listened. “You were compelled. Klaus made wewe do it. Look, can we like not have this conversation right now?”
“Okay” Amber...

Elena was tied onto a pillar in the center of the parking lot. Damon could see her from where he was standing. He could also see how mtu-bweha and Wanyonya damu were lurking from the dark. With the chance of being his moyo ripped out he speeded to Elena who was still unconscious. He carefully tapped her face, to wake her. She slowly opened her eyes and when she realized it was Damon who had come to her rescue a little smile appeared on her face. “I knew you’d come” she alisema weak.
“Ssh” Damon said. “Don’t speak. I’ll get wewe safe”
“These ropes are really tight. It hurts” Elena...

Bonnie put out the lights and headed to the stairs, when the door smashed open and Damon grabbed her throat. In a reflex she lifted her knee and Damon immediately let go of her. He gasped and grabbed the ukuta to restore his balance.
“I am so sick of wewe Wanyonya damu grabbing my throat” she hissed. “It’s hard enough having wewe in my life, I don’t need wewe to touch me”
Damon quickly recovered and attacked Bonnie again. “And I’m sick of this aching” he hissed back. “My head feels like it’s about to explode, my back is on moto and it’s like I’m walking on needles all the time”...

Damon slammed the door open and breathed heavy through his nose. Though it was pitch dark, he could smell the scent of fresh blood. So could Stefan and Katherine. Stefan bent and touched the ground.
“I don’t understand” he mumbled desperate. “Amber is my friend. Why would she attack Elena?”
“Maybe because she’s a psychotic vampire?” Damon snapped sarcastic. He was having so many different emotions right now there was no room for pity for his brother. “Seriously, what were wewe thinking? How long have wewe known this chick? What made wewe think wewe can trust her? She tried to kill...

Elena opened the door and entered the Boarding House. It was dark inside and suspiciously quiet. Suddenly the light in the hallway went on and an unfamiliar face appeared. “Surprise” the girl said. She walked fast to Elena who wanted to leave again, but she shut the door. “I guess you’re Elena?”
Elena nodded and swallowed. “Where is Stefan? He taxed me to come earlier”
“No, sweetie, that was me” Amber alisema waving Stefan’s cell phone. “Don’t be afraid, we’re friends. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if I got the first taste” She leaned mbele and opened her mouth. Elena...

Katherine was standing on a ladder when some kind of tornado swirled in the room and collided to it, causing Katherine to tumble down.
“Okay, ow!” she exclaimed. She accepted the hand that was reached out and pulled herself up. The moment she looked at Amber’s face she jerked her hand and wiped it off. Amber rolled her eyes. “Bitch, please, get over yourself” she alisema disdainful.
“What are wewe doing here? Stefan doesn’t want wewe here” Katherine snapped.
Amber chuckled. “See, that’s where you’re wrong. Stefan practically begged me to come back and since he turned me I find...

Stefan and Elena were sitting at the bar in Mystic Grill, Stefan with a beer, Elena with a coke. Elena put the straw in her mouth and blew, creating bubbles in her glass, causing the koki to spill on the bar.
“Elena!” Stefan groaned and frowned his eyebrows. He waved at the bartender. “Can we get something to clean this up?” The bartender took a cloth and cleaned the koki up himself. “Thanks” Stefan said. “I’m really sorry” He rotated to Elena. “Please try to behave yourself” Elena pulled a face. “I’m bored. I thought we’re going to have fun, but we’re just sitting...

An tembo was walking between Kelsey and Amber, while they headed to an unknown destination. “Where exactly are we going?” Amber asked. “We’ve been walking for hours. I’m hungry” she complained.
“There’s plenty of chakula around” Kelsey said, waving her arm. “You mean like a rabbit?” Amber asked disgusted. “Yes, Am, like a rabbit” Kelsey confirmed. “Come on, we have to get moving”
“Where are we going?” Amber repeated her most urgent question.
“To a salama place” Kelsey answered, with a whiff of fear in her voice. “I need to get wewe somewhere safe”
“Safe?”...

Derek Janders. The name sounded familiar, but try as he might Damon could not figure out where he had heard it before.
“Let me buy wewe a drink” Derek said. It zaidi sounded like an order than a friendly gesture. He conjured his wallet and paid two whiskeys, after compelling the bartender not to ask his ID.
“Who turned you?” Damon asked, not touching his drink.
“Does it matter?” Derek answered with a question. “Look, wewe wanted me to tell wewe what I wanted, so here it is. I want wewe to train me, educate me in the world of vampires”
Now Damon drank to wash away that information....

“So, how wewe planning on celebrating?” Stefan asked. “Eighteen, that’s a milepost, we should definitely do something unforgettable”
“I know something” Elena said.
“You do?” Stefan asked curious. “Please, share”
“I could dump wewe and start dating Damon. Sure that would be unforgettable” Elena chuckled, but she was the only one who thought it was funny. And she soon noticed. “I’m joking” she alisema quickly. Stefan’s face went back normal and he inhaled deeply. “Can we agree on something? We don’t pronounce my brother’s name today, alright? Today is our day...

Elena walked in in the jikoni and gasped. “Oh, Stefan, wewe shouldn’t have done that” she said, looking at the table. There were two plates, one specific for Elena, hence the rose leaves surrounding it, and a basket with pastries, strawberries and small pieces of chocolate. “Wait” Elena alisema hesitating. “Why are there only two seats? Who’s not eating along?” Stefan consciously avoided to look at Damon. “Damon already had breakfast. He thinks it’s time wewe and I get back on track with each other”
Elena averted to Damon. “Is that true?”
Damon looked at Stefan, before...

One week later…

Sunray illuminated Elena’s face. She was awake, but didn’t want to get out of kitanda yet. The past week had been quite hectic. After Stefan and Damon had brought her nyumbani from the hamburger place Damon had returned and taken care of tattoo-guy. au that was what he had planned to. However, when he got back he told Stefan and Elena that there was good news and bad news.
“The good news is that he’s not dead. Yay you, Elena” Damon alisema throwing his fists in the air. “The bad news is that he’s probably a vampire and he’s gone” That was a bummer. He assured Elena he...

“I think we should go” Damon said, looking at the clock. It was eleven p.m. “Okay, I’ll just go refresh myself and then we can leave” Elena said. She got up and walked to a red door inayofuata to the desk. To get there she had to pass the meza, jedwali were tattoo-guy and companions were still sitting. She felt her moyo beating faster and she got sweaty palms. But they didn’t look up and she reached the bathroom without a problem. When she closed the door behind her she dared to breathe again. There were two doors opposite of each other. One alisema men, the other women. She opened the women’s...

“So, wewe and your wife are having chajio, chakula cha jioni when the kengele rings and your daughter stands on the doorstep. wewe let her in and for a moment there’s a whole bonding feeling. Then wewe confront her with the accusations against her and she loses her mind. She threatens wewe and runs to her room. wewe call the police, let them in and then hide in the basement with your wife. wewe must’ve heard it when Amber hit the ground. A fall that high is hard not to hear. Didn’t it occur to wewe that she might have been dead? au did wewe just not care?”
Gabe Lindy was sitting in the police office being interrogated...
