Disclaimer: I do not own the vampire diaries or any characters, other than Kaylee and Rose.

Kaylee is new girl in town; will she bring out a side of Damon he prefers to hide?, will she fall for someone already taken?

Kaylee is new in town; her mother got reassigned to Mystic Falls. (Kaylee arrives after Bonnie gets back and after Stefan is starting to gain back control)

New in town

Kaylee wasn't brought up as a normal child, her mother's occupation made sure of that and Kaylee's father died before her second birthday.

Kaylee made sure she got up early so she could get to school a bit early and find her bearings. She let her long dark layered hair fall by her face as she stared in the mirror unsure of how to style her hair. She applied her clear coconut scented lip gloss, along with black eye liner and mascara and then she changed into the hundredth outfit she finally decided on; her dark denim jeans and her black Peta singlet top, which had Peta written in pink and then finally she headed for the door.

Kaylee's first day wasn't as bad as she thought it was going to be, to her surprise it started off rather well, Kaylee even befriended Elena and also got an invitation to the grill after school from Bonnie and Caroline.

Kaylee rushed home to her room after school and raided her closet, trying to decide what to wear, her final choices were her light blue jeans with her white tank top and her synthetic short leather jacket or her dark denim skirt and blue tunic top with her black blazer, Kaylee contemplated and finally decided on her jeans with tank top and jacket.

Kaylee had found the place easy to get around so far as she checked out the town on her way to the Mystic grill.

Kaylee entered the grill and spotted Caroline and Bonnie at a table along with Matt who she briefly got introduced too today at school.

"Hey, you made it; we got you a coke, hope that's cool?" Caroline smiled and took a sip of her drink.

"Yeah, I was surprised I didn't get lost, thanks. How much do I owe you?" Kaylee asked as she sat down on the other side of the table, between Caroline and Bonnie.

"It's on the house, so how you liking it so far?" Matt asked as he held the tub of dishes and stood by the table.

Kaylee nodded her head still unsure "Yeah, it's not too bad, didn't expect people to be so nice" Kaylee admitted, trying not to stare at Matt, who so far was by far the cutest guy she's seen.

"I better get back to it" Matt kissed Caroline goodbye on the cheek and continued working.

"He's so cute right?" Caroline gushed.

"Yeah" Kaylee agreed as she looked around the place, checking it out which is when she saw Elena and some guy she guessed to be her boyfriend playing pool, Elena politely smiled and waved and Kaylee returned the favour.

"That's Stefan, her boyfriend" Caroline added in a; I know it all tone.

"Cool" Kaylee smiled politely, feeling Bonnie's tenseness more than before.

"So, spotted any hot guys?" Bonnie asked trying to be cheerful and add to the conversation.

Kaylee wasn't stupid enough to say Matt, which is when she took another quick look around the place, Tyler sat a table with some blond haired girl and smirked at Kaylee, they had also met briefly at school, Kaylee could already tell he was a tool and then Kaylee spotted a very handsome dark haired guy walk through the door who make his way to the bar.

Caroline and Bonnie both noticed her eyes light up at the sight of him and so did he.

Caroline leaned in closer and lowered her voice "Don't even bother, he's a jerk"

"And a pig" Bonnie added which brought a smirk to his face as he listened in.

"That's Damon Salvatore, total jack ass and not worth the time" Caroline further added.

Kaylee smiled, clearly getting the picture "I know the type, I guess there is really at least one in every town"

"I really like your jacket by the way" Caroline complemented, frowning with annoyance as she noticed Tyler making his way over to the table.

"If you don't pay attention, he might go away" Caroline teased.

"Thanks for the tip" Kaylee smirked and stirred her drink with her straw, as Tyler leaned against the table beside her.

"Shouldn't you be chatting up the girl you just left or does she actually have some common sense?" Bonnie asked more sharply than she initially intended.

Tyler ignored her, keeping his attention focussed on Kaylee "I agree, the jacket is very hot"

"It's not real leather, they torture animals for that you know?" Kaylee tried to reply bored out of her brain, sleazes weren't her type.

"Yeah, that's horrible" Tyler replied, acting like he cared.

"I think I might go say hey to Elena" Kaylee smiled at Tyler before taking her drink and making her way to the pool table.

"I'll talk to you later Kaylee" Tyler cockily smirked and walked away from the table.

"I hope I'm not interrupting "Kaylee took a sip of her drink as she leaned against the pool table, on the opposite side of Stephen and Elena who were laughing as they faced each other talking.

"Not at all" Elena replied, facing Kaylee. "This is Stephen, my boyfriend"

"Nice to meet you" Stephen smiled, "So I see Tyler is already bothering you"

"You too, yeah I guess. Seems like a bit of a tool, but then again you aren't meant to judge a book by its cover" Kaylee replied, instantly being reminded of her mother who spent the whole day at the sheriff's office today; her new job and still wasn't home when Kaylee left for the grill at 7pm.

Stefan couldn't help but notice Kaylee's ring as it felt like it was hitting him in the face, just like Alaric Saltzman and John Gilbert's. Stefan tried not to show the sudden tenseness he was feeling, with many questions forming in his mind already although Elena could sense it almost instantly.

"Right, maybe there's a sensitive side buried real deep in there somewhere" Elena joked trying to ease the tense environment hoping Kaylee didn't notice.

"Yeah, who knows" Kaylee laughed at the thought, feeling like someone was watching her intensely, it always sent shivers down her spine, wherever she moved, the feeling moved with her.

"Feel like playing?" Stefan asked politely, wanting to try and figure out who she was.

"I should actually get back to Bonnie and Caroline, just wanted to say hey. I'll see you guys around" Kaylee smiled and then walked back to the table.

"What's wrong Stefan?" Elena asked concerned as she held on to the pool stick.

"Her ring, it looks exactly like the ring of immortality"

"So we have some digging to do than"

Kaylee placed her drink on the table and took her seat again, noticing how the dance floor was getting more crowded as Let it rock by Lil Wayne played, although Kaylee could tell Bonnie was in no mood to dance, maybe next time Kaylee hoped.

"I wish I had naturally curly hair, is it naturally that dark?" Caroline asked curiously.

"Yeah" Kaylee nodded, feeling eyes on her, she looked around to see Stefan looking at her curiously. I wonder what that's about Kaylee thought to herself.

Kaylee talked with Caroline and Bonnie for the next hour or so; Caroline spent half an hour talking about how Kaylee should be a cheerleader.

Kaylee headed home, flicking on the lounge room light, nearly having a heart attack as her mother scared her; Rose was sitting on the couch still with the television off.

"Mum?" Kaylee asked as she sat on the couch beside her mother, who looked at her concerned and almost scared, Kaylee had never seen her mum like this before.

"What's going on?"

Please tell me what you think :D
