Eira's eyelids felt heavy and it took tremendous effort to open them. Once, she did she saw that she was lying her bed and Damon was sitting in a chair next to her, waiting for her to wake up.
She coughed and Damon's eyes snapped to her. "Hey, you're awake. Do you remember what happened?"
Everything came rushing back to her. She had been taken by the tomb vampires and they used her as a blood bag. Then, she somehow killed them.
Tears filled her eyes and she spoke softly,"I killed them, Damon. I didn't want to kill anybody."
Damon quickly came and sat beside her and pulled her close to him. "If anything they deserved it, Eira. You don't need to feel sorry."
Eira just took his words in with silence, letting her mind ponder over them. Eira's head rested on Damon's shoulder. He continued,"How are you feeling?"
"Sore and weak," Eira responded. "But, better."
"You need more vampire blood," Damon got up and grabbed a glass cup. He bit into his wrist and held it over the glass. He handed it to her, once there was good amount of blood in it.
She grabbed it and scrunched her face up in disgust. But, she drank it, anyway. She put the empty glass on the bedside table.
"Now, you should be fine," Damon sighed in relief.
"Were you that worried about me?" Eira questioned.
"Yes," he blurted out immediately. "Of course, I was. You passed out. I had no idea if you would wake up.... human."
"Well, you don't need to worry now. I'm fine," Eira reassured.
Damon nodded and sighed. "Just go to sleep. You'll get better faster like that."
Damon left the room and Eira closed her eyes once again, falling asleep. Her body took the time to heal and the vampire blood just made her body heal faster.

Eira got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself. She had woken from her deep sleep and she wanted to wash off the dried blood she had on her. She looked at herself in the mirror and she noticed she had scars of the bite marks on her body. There was a scar on the base of her neck where it met her shoulder, one on the upper part of her arm, and there was another scar on her wrist. They were faint but if looked at hard enough, it was recognizable.
She sighed and left the bathroom and went to her closet. She got dressed in a t-shirt and sweatpants. She didn't feel like doing anything. She brushed out the knots of her hair and then she went downstairs.
She found Damon in the parlor, drinking as usual. "We need to talk," Damon said once he saw her.
"About what?" Eira asked.
"About what...," Damon repeated. "About what you did to the tomb vampires."
"Yeah, I don't know what that was," Eira explained wrapping her arms around herself. "I just wanted everything to stop and it happened."
"That's it?" Damon questioned.
"Yeah," Eira stated and then looked at him. "What's wrong with me?"
"Well, apparently you're now a freak of Nature. Literally," Damon smirked, teasing her.
"You're so mean," Eira looked away from him but had a small smile on her lips. Eira liked when Damon made things less serious because it lightened her mood.
"Where's Stefan?" Eira questioned.
"It's better if you stay away from Stefan, right now," Damon suggested.
"What, why?" Eira continued.
"He thinks he can't control himself around you, right now. He had a taste of human blood," Damon stated and Eira's eyes widened.

It had been three days and Eira didn't stay away from Stefan. At first, Stefan was against it but Eira was relentless and he caved. Eira went to school while Stefan stayed home, still trying to get his control back. Eira would come home and she would have him help her with homework since all of it was mostly new to her.
In those three days, Eira learned some very strange things about herself. When she walked into the sunlight for the first time after the tomb vampire incident, the sun's rays would shine on her more than other people. It wasn't noticeable to people unless they really looked but it was there. Then, whenever the wind would blow, it would blow in a direction that didn't affect her. Also, whenever she walked by a tree or any kind of plant, it seemed to move towards her like it wanted to be closer to her.
She told Stefan and Damon about it. They seemed a little shocked but not as much as before when she killed the tomb vampires with vines. It was all very new to her and she really didn't know what to do about it.
Stefan would drop her off at school but then leave since he wasn't going. Today was one of those days. She hopped out of the red sports car he had and told him she would see him later.
Once she got in the school, she went to her first class which was History with Alaric. Elena was already in there and once she she sat down, Elena turned to her and asked,"How's Stefan?"
"Uh, he seems fine. At least, when he's with me he is," Eira responded.
"That's good. How are you?" Elena continued.
"I'm fine. School seems to be hardest thing," Eira answered, seriously and Elena chuckled, quietly.
The rest of the school day went by in a blur and soon she was home after Stefan picked her up from school. She walked into Stefan's room and set her stuff down on his bed.
"There's a table right next to you," Stefan pointed out, smiling.
Eira just waved her hand through the air,"It's fine."
Stefan shook his head at her as she continued to speak, rambling,"Ok, so I need help with math. I don't even get why we even need to learn all of this."
She pulled her math textbook out of her bag and handed it to him. He took it and then she pulled out a piece of paper and a pen. She walked over to the table he had and sat down in the seat and then she looked at Stefan who was still standing in the same spot.
"Stef," she called and patted the seat next to her. He slowly walked over to her and sat down next to her.
He flipped to the page she told him to and he helped her with the math problems. When she didn't know something, she would scrunch her nose and look deep in thought. If she didn't figure it out, she would turn to him and her green eyes would be giving him the puppy look to help her which basically consisted of him doing the problem for her. He would cave every time because he couldn't say no to his sister even if she didn't give him that look.

Once they finished her homework, she grabbed her stuff and went to her room telling him goodnight. But, Stefan went to visit Elena.
Stefan and Elena were talking about Jeremy. "Why would he write a report on vampires? Do you think he's starting to remember?" Elena questioned.
"Damon took away those memories for good, you don't have to worry about that. I tell you what: why don't you just ask him?" Stefan suggested.
"I... I can't," Elena stated.
"Why not? I mean if he doesn't know anything then it's just an innocent question," Stefan advised.
"I don't even know how to talk to him anymore. I mean, we used to be a lot more open with each other. But now, with all these secrets just piling up...You know, I haven't even told him that I am adopted yet," Elena stated.
"Maybe it's time you start opening up to him. I'm not saying you should tell him everything but at least try to find out what he does know and be prepared for it," Stefan continued to advise.
"What about you, how are you doing?" Elena questioned rubbing his shoulder.
"Better," Stefan answered before smiling."Um, actually, Eira is helping me. She has me help her with homework and it, uh, reminds me what's it like to be human."
"When I'm around her, she gets my mind off the cravings by rambling about unimportant things," Stefan continued and Elena smiled.
"You two seem to be really close," Elena stated. "It's very different from you and Damon."
"Yeah, because we're twins," Stefan said, smiling in remembrance.
Author's Note: Okay, so I'm going to be changing the whole Stefan loses control thing. Eira's in the picture and so Elena won't be like his saving grace or whatever.
P.S. I've been rewatching season one of TVD for this and man Stefan is really winning my heart over. And he loves Elena so much and I just think about later seasons and my heart breaks for Stefan because you know Delena happens. Anyway, if you read this rambling of mine, your awesome.
