Stefan and Katherine ran through the woods. Stefan had ditched the car on the edge, because it would be too noisy. Katherine stuck her arm out. “Don’t move” she said, rotating her head from left to right. “There’s someone with us”
And a second later Amber appeared in their sight.
“You!” Stefan growled and he wanted to attack her, but Katherine stopped him. “Not now, Stefan. First let’s safe Elena, then you can kill her”
“How could you?” Stefan said unbelieving. “I trusted you. I told you my whole life”
“I know” Amber said. “I have listened very carefully, I have kept it in mind, and now I’ve used that information, because I needed it… Thanks again for your endless tales, Stefan”
“Where’s Elena?” Katherine asked. She realized Stefan was too angry to speak.
“Klaus sends me to take you to him. He will bring you to her as soon as he feels like it” she smiled. She took Stefan and Katherine’s arm and brought them to the back of the hotel, where Klaus was waiting for them.
“Well done, Amber, well done” Klaus congratulated the teen vamp. Amber grinned as if Klaus had given her a lollypop. “Stefan, you’re probably shocked by Amber’s betrayal. I bet you’re eager to hear what her role was in my plan. Yes, Stefan, she’s part of my plan all along, even before you killed her”
The grin on Ambers face vanished and suspicion and a whiff of fear came over her. “What are you talking about?”
“You remember you abducted the Sherriff’s daughter? You thought Amber would just destroy her files and any evidence of her existence, but I compelled her to check on the doppelganger, see if she was really dead” Klaus explained, ignoring Amber. Katherine sneaked away to the backdoor of the hotel. Though Klaus could smell the human blood she had with her he didn’t do anything to stop her.
“I was with her all the time” Stefan said confused. “When did you?”
“Ah, there were times you were less focused” Klaus said. “Usually when your head was with your human girlfriend”
“Why did you think Elena was still alive?” Stefan asked.
“I’ve been around for a very long time, Stefan. I don’t easily get fooled” Klaus said. “Plus you couldn’t stop talking about her to Amber”
Idiot, Stefan thought, how could you be so reckless?
“On the night I sent you and the vampires on a hunt and I kept Amber here I compelled her to tell me if you were plotting into escaping. Well, you know what the answer was. And I’m sure you understand I was quite unpleased to know that not only the doppelganger was still walking and talking, but you were also going to betray me. So I told Amber to attack Miss Gilbert and bring her to me. I knew it would bring you straight back to me” Klaus ended.
Stefan looked at Amber, trying to understand. She was compelled, she couldn’t help it. But Ambers eyes were hooked on Klaus. “What do you mean I was a part of it before I was killed?” she asked agitated.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot” Klaus said. He looked over his shoulder. “You can bring her in now” He looked at Amber. “I’ve a little surprise for you” He stepped side wards so Amber had a clear view. At first she saw nothing. Then someone came in view. He was dragging someone with him. Amber covered her mouth and her eyes bulged. “Kelsey!”
And a second later Amber appeared in their sight.
“You!” Stefan growled and he wanted to attack her, but Katherine stopped him. “Not now, Stefan. First let’s safe Elena, then you can kill her”
“How could you?” Stefan said unbelieving. “I trusted you. I told you my whole life”

They heard the door close and wondered who came barging in, until a familiar, female and British voice solved the mystery.
“Anyone home?” Rebekah called from downstairs.
“Ugh” Damon sighed. “I’ll go” He stood up and walked to the door, but when he wanted to open it, the door was slammed in his face and Rebekah barged in. She held a guy in her right hand and a blood bag in her left hand.
“What are you doing here?” Elena asked tired.
“I came to apologize” Rebekah explained flighty, while she tossed the bag to Damon. “I was wrong to bite you. It’s just that I busted Stefan smooching with that vamp strumpet and you look like her, so I got carried away. I don’t understand what it is that draws Stefan to women with your appearances. You’re not even that pretty”
“I appreciate your honesty” Elena commented sarcastically.
“Hey, I’m as open as your legs were last night” Rebekah replied blunt and Elena’s cheeks turned red.

Being a fan of the show, I was really excited when I found out that it was based on a book series!
Previously I had no idea.
After reading them I am convinced that they are even better than the TV show--so much more info on all of the characters.
I am also a big vampire buff and have read a lot of vampire fic--twilight does not compare.
There are currently 10 novels in the series (I have only read the first 4. But I really recommend fans to check them out!
1.1 The Awakening
1.2 The Struggle
1.3 The Fury
1.4 Dark Reunion
1.5 The Return: Nightfall
1.6 The Return: Shadow Souls
1.7 The Return: Midnight
1.8 The Hunters: Phantom
1.9 The Hunters: Moonsong
1.10 The Hunters: Destiny Rising

The Hospital
The door of the examination room slammed open and doctor Fell looked up. “Would you mind waiting outside, please?”she said annoyed.
Tyler ignored her and walked straight to the bed.
“How are you feeling?” he asked worried.
“I’m okay” Veronica said. “Doctor Fell gave me a miracle drug. I’m as good as new”
Meredith shot her a warning glance.
“How did you know where I was?” Veronica wondered.
“Rachel told me” Tyler explained. “She told me Rebekah attacked you”
Veronica shook her head. “Actually it was Stefan” she said.
“Why would Stefan want to hurt you?” Tyler asked skeptic. “He doesn’t even know you”
“Neither does Rebekah” Veronica shrugged. “They know. They know that we’re going to try and take them down. We’re going to have to move fast”
“No, what you need to do is stay away from Rebekah” Tyler said. “I mean it, Ronnie, she’s dangerous”
“So am I” Veronica said sharp.
