POOR CHOICES

━━━━━ ✧༺✶༻✧ ━━━━━

Getting home that night I see Caroline sitting on the couch. The second she looks up at me and sees the tears in my eyes she immediately gets up looking at me concerned.

"What happened?" She asked me as I walked over to her.

"Stefans leaving," I told her making her look at me sadly as she wraps her arms around me hugging me tightly.

"Let's watch the notebook as we eat ice cream. Come on," Caroline tells me as she leads me over to the couch and I nod.

The rest of the night we watch the notebook and stuffed our feeling with ice cream but it still didn't make me feel better. Stefan was leaving and if did so was Damon.

The next day came faster than I wanted it to. After getting dressed I headed to school with an annoyed expression and I was immediately stopped with a smiling Damon.

"Cupcake, I need your help," Damon told me making me roll my eyes at him.

"With what?" I asked him making him smile at me.
"There's another vampire in town and I need your help to catch them," Damon told me making me sigh but nod at him.

"Alright, here you go," Damon told me giving me the Gilbert Watch. I looked up at him confused.

"Where did you get this?" I asked him making him look down at the watch.

"Took from a very dead Logan who took it from Jermey. It's no longer a pocket watch it tracks vampires," he told me making me nod at him before I looked at him confused.

"Wait Jenna messaged me this morning that Logan showed up at her house last night," I told Damon making him pause before a look of anger crossed his face.

"Well, I guess we know who the new vampire is," Damon told me as I nod at him.

"Alright let's go find the annoying asshole," I told Damon making him smile as he sped away and I started looking for the undead news reporter. Soon enough I arrive at a warehouse and call Damon.

"So what do I do now?" I asked Damon over the phone.

"Just wait. I'll be there in a minute," Damon told me making me nod before remembering he couldn't see me.

"Alright hurry up I have to meet Care and Mom at the Career Fair," I told Damon as he suddenly appears behind me. I turn around rolling my eyes at his dramatic self.

"You can give me that," Damon says as I sigh and hold out the compass having Damon takes it.

"Do you need me to stay?" I asked him as he shakes his head no right away.

"No, I don't want you to get hurt. So go to your career fair and be careful," Damon told me making me sigh but nod nonetheless.

"Alright love you, Dames," I told him as I kiss his cheek making him smile as I leave.

Damon makes sure she actually leaves before heading into the warehouse to find Logan not noticing that his best friend wasn't actually gone.

I walk up the steps to the back of the warehouse and quietly open the door, enter. As I get inside I suddenly hear multiple gun fires and freeze as I hear Damon groans in pain. I look over the pallets and see Damon falls on his knees to the floor. As Logan approaches him.

"I have tons of these wood bullets, so nothing funky," Logan says as he circles around Damon, holding out the gun.

"You don't wanna do this, trust me," Damon says as Logan shoots Damon in the shoulder. Damon screams in pain making me gasp but I immediately place a hand over my mouth as I looked around for anything to help before remembering what I had in my pockets.

"That's what you get," Logan tells him as Damon groans.

"For what?" Damon asks him annoyed as Logan crouches down in front of Damon.

"You made me like this," Logan tells him with venom in his voice.

"I killed you. I didn't turn you," Damon tells him as he tries to pry a bullet out from his chest. Logan holds up one of the wooden bullets and examines it.

While doing that I pulled out the ring daggers I got for my sixteen birthday. 

"See I know what you and your brother are. I've been watching the two of you. I knew you'd show up here and I'm glad you did because I have some questions," Logan says as he waves the gun around. Damon continues to pry another bullet out.

"Me first. Who turned you?" Damon asks as Logan crouch down, face close to Damon's.

"How should I know? The last thing I remember is, I'm about to stake your brother and then you grabbed me. That's it! Until I wake up in the ground behind a used car dealership on Highway 4. Somebody buried me," Logan says as I freeze knowing exactly who buried him. My mother.

"It happens," Damon says with a shrug as he pries another bullet out of his leg.

"Ow," Damon said as Logan looks at him confused.
"You bit me," Logan says as Damon exams the wooden bullet he just extracted from his leg.

"Damn it," Damon says as Logan continues looking at him.

"It had to be you," Logan tells him still confused.

"You have to have vampire blood in your system when you die. I didn't do that. Some other vampire found you, gave you their blood," Damon said as he groans and falls back onto the floor.

"Who?" Logan questions.
"That's what I wanna know," Damon tells him annoyed.

"Dude, it's not like the welcome wagon was waiting with a bundt cake and a handbook. It's been a learn-as-you-go process. You know, one minute, I'm a small town on the rise news guy and next thing I know, I can't get into my house, because my foot won't go through the door," Logan says as I try not to laugh.

Damon sits up and prying another bullet out.
"You have to be invited in," Damon tells him as Logan glares.

"I know. I live alone," Logan tells him as Damon chuckles softly.

"Ah, that sucks," Damon tells him with a sarcastic smile.

"So now, I am at the Ramada, watching pay per view all day, eating everything in sight, including housekeeping," Logan tells him making me confused I ignored the conversation until I hear Damon's voice.

"Wait a minute. Cops only found one body," Damon said making me freeze.

"I left one. I was tired. But I've been hiding the rest of the bodies. They're right back there," Logan says as he points to the bodies with his gun. Damon looks over and I gag seeing all the dead bodies.

"They're just piling up!" Logan says as Damon looks around and locks eyes with me making him look wide-eyed as I sheepishly wave. He gives me the look that means "we will have a talk about this later" as I nod. 

"Why am I so overly emotional? All I can think about is my ex-girlfriend. I wanna be with her and bite her and stuff," Logan says making me look at him disgusted. He will not be hurting my aunt Jenna.

"Well, you probably love her. Anything you felt before will be magnified now. You're gonna have to learn how to control that," Damon says as I glared at the two.

"What about walking in the sun? I'm a morning person. You can walk in the sun which, by the way, is pretty cool," Logan says as Damon flexes his hand with the daylight ring on it and hides it with his other hand.

"The council will never suspect you. That's not in the journals," Logan says making Damon look at him intrigued.

"The journals?" Damon questions him.

"Yeah, the founding fathers, they passed down journals to their kids. Come on man, you gotta tell me. How can you walk around in the sun?" Logan tells him as Damon glares and I start walking closer while spinning my ring daggers.

"Who turned you?" Damon questions looking beyond annoyed.

"You know, I've been really nice so far but I will kill you," Logan says as he stands up and points the gun at Damon.

"Then you'll never know," Damon says as he stands up.

"You're not answering my question," Damn says as he glares at me over Logan's shoulder. It was a good thing he couldn't smell me and was to focus on Damon to hear my heartbeat.

"You first!" Logan yells as I come right up behind him.

"It seems we're at a bit of an impasse then, doesn't it?" Damon questions him sarcastically.

"I have things to do, people to kill," Logan says as he raises his gun to shoot Damon again.

"I wouldn't do that," I said making Logan turn to me with a glare as I throw my dagger at him it landing in his hand. making him drop the gun.

I throw the next one making it land in his throat as Damon gets up and speeds to me speeding us both out of the warehouse.

When we are far enough away Damon stops and turns to me with a glare as I smile at him.

"You are welcome. You can thank me with ice cream," I told Damon making him glare at him.

"Never do that again," Damon told me sternly making me roll my eyes at him.

"Number one rule on being best friends is never leaving another friend behind", I told Damon making him roll his eyes.

"Now let's get those bullets out. I have a new shirt in my car for you," I told Damon as we head towards my car and pull out my tweezers, and head towards Damon.

"Siri call Steffie!" I call out as my phone starts ringing.
"Alright let's get the first one out," I told Damon as I started pulling the bullets out.

"Hello? Rosie where are you?" Stefan questions as I pull another bullet out of Damon.

"Pulling bullets out of your brother," I told Stefan as I continue pulling bullets out.

"Logan Fell is a vampire and when I find him again, I'm gonna destroy him limb by limb," Damon says making me roll my eyes at him. Which I do a lot with him.

"What happened? Are you ok? Rosie are you okay?" Stefan questions making me smile as Damon groans.

"No, I'm not ok. I was ambushed. I was shot," Damon says as I roll my eyes.

"Now, I'm vengeful. Just got to find him," Damon says as he starts putting the other shirt on.

"Well, there's no need. He's here at the school," Stefan says making me freeze.

"You're kidding me. Why the hell is he there?" Damon questions as I turn around letting Damon change. N

"He's working the crowd," Stefan says as Damon nods.

"Well, I'll be right there," Damon says but before he hangs up I grab the phone.

"Stefan make sure to keep an eye on my mom and sister. Logan will be vengeful not just because I stabbed him but also because my mom is the one who buried him.

"Okay- wait you did what?" Stefan asked worried making me smile slightly.

"Bye-bye!" I call out as I hung up the phone. Damon looks at me as he shakes his head.

"Go home. Get far away from Logan," Damon told me making me nod.

"I'll go get food and then hand home," I told him making him nod.

"Lock the door and close all windows. I'll let you know when he is sealed with and we will be talking about your poor choices and why you had rung daggers," Damon told me making me nod as I got in my car.

"Be careful Damon, "I told him making him nod as he sped off.

After getting food my phone start to ring as I drove home. 
"Hey is everything okay?" I also Damon as he sighs.

"Yeah he took Caroline but Stefan took her home. She is okay just a small concussion," Damon told me making me freeze before nodding.

"Alright, I'm heading home right now. Our road was closed so I had to take a deserted road," I told him.

"Alright be careful," Damon told me but before I can say anything else I see someone in the middle of the road. I immediately slam my brakes.

I then scream as Damon screams my name and the person hits my windshield making my car flips multiple times.

When my car finally lands I am stuck in my seat upside down as the man who hit me slowly gets back up and starts to approach me.
