18 Javelin throw

What does being alive mean? Is it just to live your life or seek new things to make you feel anything? To experience new places and people or to find comfort in familiar things? The constant or the ever changing what's true? Or is it both?

I reached Elena's house after giving Caroline the vervain that I had on me. This was the first time I would meet Elena after knowing the truth and then a small thought popped in my head about Bonnie. I reached up to the door and rang the bell and waited. The door opened and I found Elena she looked worried and tensed. 

I smiled and said, "Hello."

She sighed and said, "Come in."

"Very well." I stepped through the threshold and asked, "What's the emergency and whats with that look of yours? Are you worried about Stefan's diet? Does he want me to take the stand to testify? He really is a vegetarian. "

She looked at me very seriously and she just couldn't fathom why I was acting as such if I'm being honest, it was purely just for fun, "He's up stairs."

I looked at her and it seemed like it wasn't about Stefan and what was this emergency that he was talking about. We walked into the house and I saw Matt there and my head tilted and Elena said, "Up stairs." We climbed the stairs and I found Jeremy standing outside the room. 

He saw me and was confused and asked, "Why are you here?"

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Beats me."

Elena opened the door and I saw Vicki on the bed and Stefan by her side talking to her and I saw it but I didn't understand. Both of us went inside and Elena closed the door behind her. Jeremy was still standing there and I walked to Stefan and he saw me and said, "She's transitioning."

"Damon?" I asked and he nodded. I sighed and sat down beside her and she wasn't in the best of the condition. "Vicki? How are you feeling?"

She cried in pain, "I don't feel good… it's hurting."

"Hmm." I looked at Stefan and said, "We have 2 choices…" Elena was intrigued and tried to come close but I stopped her and she asked, "What?"

I looked at her and then to Stefan and said, "Either we relieve her of it or she lives with it… forever."

Stefan sighed and looked down while Elena folded her hands and looked at me "Forever? You want her to complete the transition?"

"Hey, don't talk like I'm not here." Vicki complained and it ached her body and I looked at her and said, "Try and relax Vicki… it'll be okay in a minute."

"There has to be another way?" Elena pleaded.

I looked at her and said, "There isn't and she needs to decide what she wants."

"No, no, no… this can't happen." Elena freaked out and I sighed and looked at Stefan and he nodded and got up and said, "Let him talk to her…"

"What?" Stefan took Elena out and Vicki saw Jeremy and her eyes started to become wet and she looked at the door and I said, "Vicki… I really want to help you, I really do." I took hold of her hand and said, "You're going through a life changing event, what you decide for yourself will be the defining moment of your life."

She cried and shook her head and said, "I don't understand."

I sighed and said, "Damon, gave you his blood and killed you."

She chuckled and scoffed, "It's true…" I looked at her and she realised it was true and she said, "Oh my god, oh my god… NO! NO! NO!"

Jeremy burst through the door and said, "What are you doing?"

"Stand down!" I barked out and it did scare her but Jeremy in his stupid bravado ran up to me and tried to tackle but I got out of the way and Vicki took this opportunity to run but I grabbed her hand. But from somewhere I got punched in the nuts. And my grip loosened and Vicki booked it out of the house.

"What the fuck?!" I turned around and kicked him away. I ran down stairs and by now it was in the know that something happened and I saw everyone outside and Matt turned to look at me and asked, "What the fuck happened?"

"She freaked out and booked it…" I looked at Stefan and he sighed and said to Elena, "I can track her." Matt was already gone.

"Go." Stefan ran and I walked to Elena and said, "Jeremy is up stairs and kinda unconscious…" 

"What? Why?!" She asked

"He punched me." I explained and I ran away behind Stefan.

As the sun was starting to set down both of us were at the cemetery and her scent was getting mixed with all the other dead things, we looked at eachother "So… I didn't think Jeremy could take you down."

"He didn't and it was a cheap shot… You can be a demigod, it would still hurt in the nuts."

I looked at Stefan and said, "I say we nip it in the bud."

"We can't play gods… Tom." Stefan put his hand on my chest.

"That train has already left the station and I'm not talking about playing god… I'm talking about making an informed decision for her. We have lived this life for 2 centuries now. And a girl like her doesn't survive for long and worse it endangers us."

"We can't Tom…"

"Fine… but atleast when she turns you leave her to me… your soft ass can't train anyone for shit."

He scoffed and said, "Fine."

I looked around and said, "Sun is getting low… we should split and look for her…"

He nodded and we split and started to search for her and as I was traversing the woods. I saw a fresh print of boots and I squatted to look at it and said, "Why is this here? Someone else is here."

I fastened my search for Vicki. If someone is here right now they are in danger. As I was following the prints it led to the old cemetery. I could hear Stefan and Vicki out in the distance and then I saw a man in some distance with a gun, okay this was a hunter or trying to be one. He stopped and looked down and his head tilted. 

He turned around and I could see a small brass thing on his head and he said, "Work you stupid peice of shit." He shook his hand. I could clearly see what it was, it was that cursed compass. My eyes opened wide and I didn't want this thing to be out in the open again. 

The man was that news anchor and I weighed my options and I decided to do it. The man turned his back and started walking again. I suppose the compass locked on Stefan and he said, "Where is the sheriff? That stupid woman."

I need to deal with it quickly, I saw him moving towards the old crypt and I picked up a thick branch that was fallen. I broke it and made it into a makeshift spear or a bolt at least.I closed the distance between us. He saw Stefan into the distance and smiled and didn't look at the compass. Making erratic movements again and as soon as I got close enough, I threw the spear towards him, the smile on his face quickly faded and was replaced by agony and blood. The spear peiced him throught the upper chest to the abdomen. He fell near where Stefan and Vicki were.

I ran to them and said, "Did you see that… what was it like a mile or something… definitely more than a mile. Whoo!"

Stefan looked at me and I said, "And before you go all moral compassy on me. He was going to kill you. And second of all. We need to…" As I saw saying it I saw Vicki drinking the blood dripping from his mouth and I looked at it and so did Stefan and I said, "Is it weird that I'm finding it hot?"
