Stefan’s Diaries: Origins Chapter 25

Excitement coursed through my veins as I take out of the house, across the dew-dropped lawn, and toward the carriage house. I slid past Emily, who held the door frank for me, and bounded up the stairs. I no longer needed the cd to find my way to Katherine. There, in the bedroom, she was wearing her simple cotton surgical gown and absentmindedly swinging a crystal necklace that sparkled in the moonlight.I designate initiate may be persuaded to call off the siege. At to the lowest degree hes willing to talk. I know Ill be able to change his mind, I exclaimed, twirling her around the room.I expected her to clap with glee, for her smile to mirror my own. just now instead Katherine disengaged herself from my grip and placed the crystal on her night jut.I knew you were the humans for the job, she said, not looking at me.Better than Damon? I asked, unable to resist. in conclusion Katherine smiled. Y need to stopou comparing yourself to Damon. She stepped closer to me and grazed my b oldness with her lips. I shivered with pleasure as Katherine pulled my body toward hers. I held her tightly, timbering her digest through the thin cotton of her nightdress.She kissed my lips, then my jaw, running her lips, feather light, atomic pile the curve of my neck. I moaned and pulled her even closer, needing to feel all of her against all of me. then she plunged her teeth into my neck. I let out a strangled surge of pain and ecstasy as I felt her teeth wrong my skin, felt her draw blood from me. It felt as though a thousand knives were piercing my neck. Still I held her more tightly, wanting to feel her mouth on my skin, wanting to fully submit myself to the pain that ply her.Just as suddenly as she bit me, Katherine broke away, her sour eyes on fire, agony etched on her appear. A teeny stream of blood trickled from the corner of her lip, and her mouth twisted in agonizing pain. Vervain, she gasped, stepping self-referent until she collapsed on the bed in pain. Wh at have you done?Katherine I put my hands to her chest, my lips to her mouth, trying desperately to heal her the way she had corned me back in the forest. But she pushed me away, wriggly on the bed, clutching her hands to her mouth. It was as if she were being tortured by an un date stampn hand. Tears of agony spilled from her eyes. wherefore did you do this? Katherine clutched her throat and closed her eyes, her breath slowing into guttural gasps. every anguished cry from Katherine felt like a small place in my own heart.I didnt Father I shouted as the dizzying events of that evening occurred to me. My brandy. Father. He knew .There was a clatter from downstairs, and then Father burst in.Vampire he roared, holding up a artlessly made stake. Katherine writhed on the floor in pain, shrieking in a high-pitched tone Id never heard before.Father I shouted, holding my hands up as he used his armorial bearing to prod Katherine. She moaned, her arms and legs kicking in opposite direct ions.Katherine I flatten to my knees and held Katherines body close in my arms. She shrieked, her eyes rolling back so all I could see was white. Foam appeared at the corner of her blood-caked lips, as though she were a rabid animal. I gaped in horror and let go, her body falling to the floor with a sickening thud.I inched back, seance on my heels and gazing at the ceiling as if in prayer. I couldnt face Katherine, and I couldnt face Father.Katherine let out another high-pitched plaint as Father prodded her with his stake. She reared up foaming at the mouth, her fangs bared, her eyes unjustifiable and unseeingbefore falling back in a twist pile.Bile rose in my throat. Who was this monster?Get up. Father dragged me to my feet. Dont you see, Stefan? Dont you see her true nature?I gazed down at Katherine. Her dark curls were vapid to her fore top by sweat, her dark eyes were wide and bloodshot, her teeth were cover with foam, and her entire body was shaking. I didnt recognize any part of her.Go get Sheriff Forbes. Tell him we have a vampire.I stood transfixed in horror, unable to take a step in any direction. My head pounded, my thoughts whirled in a confused tangle. I loved Katherine. Loved her. sort out? So why now did this creature disgust me?I did not raise my sons to be weak, Father roared, shoving a bundle of vervain in my shirt pocket. Now goMy breath came in deep rasps. The oestrus was suddenly stifling, unbearable. I couldnt breathe, couldnt think, couldnt do anything. All I knew was that I couldnt stand being in that room for one second longer. Without a backward glance at my father or at the vampire writhing on the floor, I rushed out of the house, taking the steps iii at a time, and raced for the road.
