Lost And Found Chapter Seven
Stefan Salvatore's POV
As I was hunting for animals. I came across Victoria laying on the ground.
Victoria? I asked cautiously.
She was sitting bait for a vampire to come sejak and drain her of blood. A unresponsive girl in the forest alone. What lebih could an evil vampire ask for?
I picked her up lightly and carried her back to my place. She had been there a while, I hadn't seen her at school for three atau four days. Surely she hadn't been there all that time. With Vampires passing through, like Damon. She was bait for him atau someone else.
What are anda doing? Damon asked.
I found Victoria in the woods. I said.
So, anda could have left her their. Damon said.
Sitting bait for some other vampire atau you. I said.
atau whatever she berkata for us to leave her alone. He said.
I know but I am helping her. She doest need to be unresponsice in a forest where there are dangerous monster. I said.
I laid her on the sofa, kerusi panjang and covered her with a blanket.
What are anda going to do when she wakes up and finds herself in this house, alone with vampires? He asked.
I don't know. Victoria's reaction can't be that bad. I said.
Stefan, she hates us. What are anda exspecting? Someone happy girl? He asked.
No but she can leave as soon as she rest up. I said.
I told anda two to leave me alone! Victoria said.
anda were a sitting itik in the forest. I couldn't leave anda there. I said.
It wouldn't have matter if I was sitting duck. anda should respect my wishes to leave me alone! She growled.
Yahda, yahda, yahda! anda are free to leave to go back home. Damon said.
I can't go back home. She said.
Why not? Damon asked.
Because Dad grabbed his gun and I ran for it. I said.
Why? I asked confused.
He was drunk. How do I know? She said.
Don't anda ever turn the air on in here? She added.
We're vampires. We need heating and cooling. Damon said.
She unzipped her jaket a little.
Take off your jaket than. Damon smile mishcheifly.
I can't. She mumbled.
Why not? Damon asked.
Because I have bruise on my arms. She mumbled so quite that I almost couldn't hear here.
From what? I asked concerned.
This is why I told anda to leave me alone. She said.
Because anda didn't want us to know so we couldn't make fun of you. Damon said.
No it's not that. It's embarrassing. Victoria said.
Oh well this will be good! Damon chirped.
Shut up! She demanded.
Damon was over in a second. He had her pushed against the couch.
Don't tell me to shut up! I can rip your head off in less than a second. He hissed.
Damon. I sighed in frustration.
Relax, I'm not going to kill her. He said.
I heard Victoria let out a sigh of relief.
He ripped off her jaket to reveal numerous bruises on her arms.
That's some secert anda have. Damon mumbled.
How dare you! Victoria cried as she tried to cover her arms with her hands.
The puzzle pieces were coming together. Her drunk father, missing school days, bruises, in the woods; she was being beaten.
Your dad beats you. I mumbled.
Whoa good job captain obvious. I even knew that. Damon said.
Well I didn't think someone could have been so cruel. I said.
anda can't tell anyone. Oh, Damon, anda owe me a new jacket. She berkata bravely.
I don't owe anda anything. He berkata and walked away.
I'll give anda money so anda can get a new jacket. I said.
Thank anda Stefan. She said.
No problem. Tell me one thing though. I said.
Okay. She said.
How come anda were in the woods? I asked.
Dad pulled out a gun last night when he got really drunk. I dot know where atau how he got it. But when he pulled it out, I knew I had to get out there. Victoria said. 
anda may stay here but anda need to turn your father in. I said.
I can't do that. He's the only family I have left. I said.
Yes but it's not good if he is beating anda when he gets drunk. I said.
I know. She berkata sadly.
anda can stay here for a little while. But anda need to clear things up with your father. I said.
Oh thank anda Stefan! Victoria chirped as she hugged me.
anda can sleep on the couch. If that's okay. I said.
Oh that's fine! She berkata smiling.
I gag her a bantal and some blankets. I told her if she needed anything to just call me. I walked out of the room so she could get some sleep.
It hadn't been long when I hear Victoria calling my name.
I walked into the living room and she was curled up on the sofa, kerusi panjang looking around. She was frighten.
What's wrong? I asked concerned.
Your living room is spooky. I said.
anda can sleep in my room but I don't know how much better it will be. I said.
I-I-I don't want to be a burden but I'm scared. She said
You're not being a burden. You're family. I said.
Famiy. She said.
Come on follow me. I said.
Thank anda for everything. I'm sorry that I am such a baby. She said.
It's fine, it's normal for humans to feel this way. I said.
We entered my room and she was amazed at all the journals I had. I turned the over head light off and turn on my meja lamp. Victoria got on the katil and started watching me write.
Goodnight Stefan. Thank anda again for everything. She said.
You're welcome. Try and get some good sleep. I said.
She smiled at me and slowly drifted asleep.
