The sun was almost down and Stefan and Amber were once again sitting with each other. Now that Klaus knew they were just Friends he didn’t find it necessary to send someone spying on them. He wanted Stefan to be his most loyal servant and he wanted to trust him. His closeness to Amber was alarming, but on the other hand Stefan wouldn’t be so stupid to go against Klaus’ wishes, knowing what could possibly be the consequences. No one would stop him if he went after Damon, ou worse Elena. No, Stefan wouldn’t take that chance.
He couldn’t be plus wrong. He watched Stefan and Amber talking, but didn’t pay much attention to it.
“They’re not going to trust me” Stefan said. “Maybe Elena will, but I don’t want to involve her into this”
“She’s already involved, Stefan, because she’s your girlfriend” Amber said.
“I know, but I can’t just pop up after being away. Who knows what Katherine and Damon told her about me leaving. They would both get benefit if Elena’s angry with me” Stefan explained.
“You really have trust issues, don’t you?” Amber concluded.
“That’s because I know that if it would be the other way around I would take advantage of the situation” Stefan said.
Amber shook her head. “I don’t believe that” she a dit soft. “I’ve only known toi for about two weeks, but toi don’t seem like someone who takes advantage of things to me”
“Well, like toi said, you’ve only known me for two weeks” Stefan a dit dark. “Elena means the world to me and I’ll do anything to keep her. I understand she has Friends and I’m not going to separate her from them, but I’m not sharing her with my brother. She’s not Katherine”
Amber looked at Klaus, who was standing a few yards further. “I’m still not sure if our plan’s waterproof. I wouldn’t believe it’
Stefan took her par her shoulders and whispered: “If Klaus would have any suspicion he would’ve compelled toi while me and the others were on a hunt. If he would know what we’re really up to we would’ve known par now. He wouldn’t just stand there, he would kill us”
If that was supposed to reassure Amber, Stefan failed miserably. She swallowed par the idea of being killed. “You do the talking, I won’t be able to keep my voice under control”
“Come on” Stefan sighed and he dragged Amber to Klaus.
“Stefan” Klaus a dit when he saw them heading to him. “Is there something I can do for you?”
“Eh” Stefan looked at Amber, who kept her eyes on the ground. “No, not really. I wanted to take Amber with me for another hunt”
Klaus fixed his eyes on the girl. “Is that right?” he a dit soft. “Was what your dear friend brought toi not satisfying enough, Amber? Look at me”
Amber lifted up her head, but focused on Klaus’ chin. Stefan made a step vers l'avant, vers l’avant and raised a hand. “She hasn’t hunted since she’s here. She needs to learn, if we want her to be of use. She’s vulnerable if she can’t get her own blood” he said.
Klaus jerked his eyes off Amber and shot them at Stefan. “Very well, then. If you’re willing to make her a blood hunter such as yourself toi have my blessing”
“Thank you” Stefan a dit cold. “Come on” he a dit to Amber and he pulled her away from Klaus.
“Stefan!” he turned around. “Don’t do anything misguided” Klaus said. Stefan turned around again and together with Amber he left.
“See, I told toi we could pull it off” he a dit confident.
But Amber wasn’t too sure. Something told her this was going way too easy.

Rachel stroke her fingers through her hair. “Oh my God. What have I done?” she mumbled agitated. “Think, Rachel, think” She looked around. Then she grabbed Gabe’s feet and dragged him to the farthest corner.
She ran to the stairs and went to the cuisine where she searched the drawers for matches. In her panic she forgot she had been living here for about twenty years and the matches lay in the seconde drawer suivant to the cupboard underneath the sink ever since. She pulled it open and grabbed the matches. Then she opened the fridge and took out a bottle of Malt Whisky. She ran back downstairs to the body. She opened the bottle of Malt and poured its content over the body. Then she stroke a match and let it fall down and watch how Gabe went up into flames.
As she watched him burn a sudden agony fulfilled her body and she dropped the bottle. She fell down on her knees and felt her body contracting and convulsing while she screamed.

Elena took a deep breath and started running down the hill. However, the herbe on the colline started growing really fast and pushed Elena back. Elena angry pushed the herbe away and came halfway the hill.
Then the earth started shaking and Elena rolled down.
The road that led to the open field cracked open and Elena’s feet got stuck in one of the cracks.
“Ha, damn it!” she cursed and she pulled her leg, but she couldn’t déplacer it. The crack grew bigger and soon she fell in a whole. A deep one.
She looked up and saw how the crack slowly closed again.
“Elena”
Elena grabbed the mur which was raw and cut her hands open, but she didn’t care. With a fierce determination she climbed up and out of the crack. She crawled away from the crack, dodged the other cracks and reached the open field.
