Part II, The Fight

Both girls stood back to back, waiting for the signal from Damon to begin. Damon looked down at them from his spot in a tree, admiring his jealous lovers. Gosh, I almost sicken myself sometimes. He smirked, then whistled. The instant the high pitched noise stopped, the girls went into action.

Before Amanda even had a chance to turn around, Chelsea had her by the hair and was trying her best to drag her onto the ground. Amanda shrieked in pain, and started kicking, hoping she could get Chelsea in a good spot. After a few more agonizing seconds, Amanda had Chelsea pushed up against a wall, trying to knock some wind out of her. Chelsea let go of Amanda's hair and as soon as there was enough space for her to move the teeniest bit, Chelsea ducked, letting Amanda wind herself on the wall. Amanda doubled over, trying to suck some air back in, while Chelsea ran off, towards the mysterious lake.

She stopped at the very edge. It was happening again. Chelsea started to feel as though something was coming over her, something telling her to just touch the water a little bit, to come just a tad closer. Chelsea's face began to turn blank, when she suddenly shook her head. "What am I doing? Damon told me not to get near the water." She turned around, only to have her nose less than an inch away from Amanda's. "Surprise." she said, her eyes cold. She shoved Chelsea, and Chelsea went splashing into the lake. Things began happening to Chelsea. Her face began twisting, her eyes growing larger, her hair growing shorter. Chelsea was screaming a silent scream, sinking faster, almost no longer visible.

As Amanda stood at the edge, her face in shock, there came a voice. "NOOO!" Amanda was thrown from the lake, and she saw a person reaching his whole right arm into the lake, in the spot where Chelsea was sinking. "Damon?" The person ignored her, still reaching around in the water. After a few moments, the person's arm stiffened. He grunted, and pulled as hard as he could. He fell back onto the grass, with Chelsea on his chest. Amanda gaped. "Who are you?! Why did you save her?!" The person was breathing hard, making Chelsea rise up and down. Chelsea started to moan, and Amanda noticed that she looked perfectly normal again, just wet. The man slowly started to get up, lifting Chelsea up in his arms. He stared at Amanda. "My name's Stefan. I'm Damon's brother." Amanda looked the man over. Sure, he had some resemblances, but brothers? It was almost impossible. "How do I know you're really Damon's brother?" Amanda asked, not knowing why it mattered. "Damon brought both of you here, tried to woo you, and left you two to fight over him. You think you love him more, even though you don't even know him." Amanda just looked at Stefan. "How did you know all of that?" Stefan sighed. "Because he's done things like that before." Amanda didn't say anything. Stefan looked up, towards the trees. "You can come out now, Damon. I think you've had enough fun."
