If you are reading this but you haven't read We Aren't in Minnesota Anymore you should probably go back and do that first because this isn't going to make any sense if you don't read that first. So go and do that. Go. Okay if you're seriously still reading this and not the story then you have a strange obsession with random things that don't need to be read. Peace, Love, and Damon

Audrey;D
Chapter One- The Return
When I got to the hospital I found Jace sitting in the waiting room, I walked up to him.
"How are Aurora and Caroline?" I asked him
"They aren't doing so good, Audrey." he said
"What happened?"
"We were driving and Tyler heard this noise and he got…"
"A noise?" I asked interrupting him
"Yeah. He got this migraine or something and he lost control of the car and…I thought Aurora was fine and then she wasn't so…"
I went up to Jace and gave him a hug.
"I'm worried too." I said after pulling away
After awhile Bonnie came into the waiting room and came over to me.
"How are Caroline and Aurora?" Elena asked me
"She's weak. They don't think they're going to make it through the night." I said, tears filling my eyes
"What?" Bonnie asked
"Is there something that we can do?" I asked Bonnie, "Like a spell?" I added
"She doesn't know how, do you?" Damon asked coming up to us
Instead of looking at him I kept my eyes on Bonnie.
"No, I don't." She said
"No, you don't because it took Emily years to learn a spell like that." Damon said to her
"No. but I can take down a vampire, that spell was easy to learn." Bon said
"I can give Aurora and Caroline some blood."
"No, no way." I said looking at him for the first time
"Just enough to heal them. They'll both be safe in the hospital and it will be out of their systems in a day." he said looking into my eyes, " They will be better, Audrey."
"It's too risky, I can't agree to that." I said
"Do it." Bonnie said before looking at me, " This is Aurora and Caroline we are talking about. We can't let them die. Do it."
"If I do this, you and me, call truce?" Damon asked Bonnie
"No." Bonnie said, " But you'll do it anyway, for Audrey."
Then Bonnie left, leaving Damon and I alone.
"I know this is probably the last thing you want to do right now but we should talk about what happened last night."
"You right." I said, " I can't talk about this right now."
"If you want to forget about what happened fine, but I can't."
Elena came up to us.
"Audrey, I've been looking everywhere for you." she said, " John got attacked by one of the tomb vampires."
"Good." I said
"Audrey!" Elena said
"What?" I asked, "He tried to kill me, his own niece, he deserves everything he gets."
"Feisty." Damon said, " That's how I like my women."
I turned around and slapped him in the back of the head.
"Ow. What was that for?"
I gave him the really? look before turning back to Elena.
"Elena I told you I would be here last night, when I let you in." I said
"Audrey, I let myself in." Elena said
"No, I let you in. You had your dress and purse."
"Someone took my stuff last night."
"Oh you've got to be kidding me." Damon said
Damon, Elena, and I entered the house to see Stefan getting up off the floor.
"Stefan?" Elena asked
"What happened?" I asked
"Katherine happened." Damon said
"Did she say what she wanted?" Damon asked Stefan
"No."
"This woman certainly knows how to make an entrance." Damon said
"She said she fooled one of us at least." Stefan said, " What does that mean?"
"She pretended to be Elena earlier when I was leaving for the hospital." I said
"I told Jeremy, I can't lie to him anymore." Elena said coming from upstairs
"Are you all right?" Stefan asked Elena
"No, I'm not alright." Elena said, " I thought that with all the tomb vampires gone things were going to get better.
"I know, we all did." Stefan said
" I invited Katherine in." I said, " What are we going to do?"
"Move." Damon said
"Very helpful." Elena said sarcastically , " Thank you."
"If Katherine wants either of you dead, there's zero you can do about it, you will be dead. But you're not, so clearly she has other plans." Damon said
"Right, and we need to find out what those plans are and not provoke her in the process." Stefan said
" When I came up to you guys earlier, you were talking about something that happened last night." Elena said, " What happened?"
When she said this I felt myself start to blush and I looked at the ground.
"Well, to risk another frown line on encroaching on Stefan's very crowded forehead… We… Kissed.
"DAMON!" I yelled looking up at him
"What? They deserve to know the truth, Audrey." he said looking into my eyes
I looked over at Stefan and Elena to see their shocked faces, then back to Damon.
"I've got to go." I said heading towards the door
"Audrey, wait." Elena said
"No, Elena." I said, angrily, " I have a best friend in the hospital that I would like to check on."
Then I headed out the door.
I saw Jace standing outside of Aurora's room when I got to the hospital.
"You've been here all night?" I asked him
"Yeah with Matt and the sheriff.
"No one else?" I asked
"Well, Damon stopped by late last night."
"How is Aurora today?" I asked him
"See for yourself." he said before opening the door
When we walked into the room to see Aurora looking super healthy and watching TV.
"Jersey Shore is on." She said
I ran over to her and gave her a hug.
"Careful, I'm still a little sore." Aurora said
"Sorry." I said stepping away
"It's okay, they say I am healing very quickly." she said
"My turn." Jace said walking up to her and giving her a kiss
"Ew." I said, " If you could stop for a second I have a present for my bestie."
"A present?"
"Yep."
Then I gave her a bag. She screamed when she saw what was inside of it.
"Oh, my God." She said, " Hatalia on DVD and a portable DVD player. Thank you so much."
My eyes started to tear up.
"Why are you crying?" Aurora asked me
"I'm just so happy you're okay." I said
"Oh, I love you guys." Aurora said
"We love you." Jace said and then we both hugged her.
Later I went to the Lockwood's for the Mayor's wake. I waked in to see Mason talking to Carol and walked up to him.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Mason Lockwood." I said
Mason turned around and his eyes went wide when he saw me.
"Audrey. Is that you?" he asked, " I haven't seen you since you left eight years ago."
"If I understand that's about the same time you left." I said, " Anyway, I have to go, but t was good seeing you again."
"Same here."
Then I waked away
I walked around and then I saw Damon standing by himself over by the piano.
"Hey." I said walking over to him, " How are you doing?"
"Great, Audrey." he said with heavy sarcasm, "Walking on sunshine, thanks for asking."
"Damon."
"Audrey."
"We should be able to talk, Damon." I said, " We're close enough now. I really want to know how you are doing."
"I kissed you, you kissed me back… you refuse to talk about it… How do you think I'm doing?"
"Hurt." I said, " I think you're hurt."
"No, I don't get hurt, Audrey." Damon said
"No, you don't admit that you get hurt." I said, " You get angry and cover it up and then you do something stupid."
" You're scared. You think Katherine being back is going to send me off the deep end. I don't need her for that." he said before walking away
I was about to go after him when Bonnie came up to me.
"Audrey!" she said
"Bonnie, what is it?"
After Bonnie told me what had happened with Katherine then I decided to go home. When I got back I took a shower. I walked into my room to find Damon sitting on my bed.
"Oh God, you scared me." I said walking over to him
"I'm just doing my part, neighborhood watch." he said
"Thanks for looking out for me." I said with a smile
"That's me, the trusted bodyguard, calm in crisis."
"Have you been drinking?" I asked
He held his fingers up showing he had been drinking a little.
"And you upset." I said, " That's not a good combination"
"No, I'm not upset." he said, " Upset is an emotion specific to those who care."
"Come on Damon." I said, "That's a lie, you care."
"You know what I do care." Damon said, " I care about you Audrey."
"Damon…"
"No, Audrey, I know you feel the same way. All we've been doing here means something. There is something going on between us and you know it." Damon said before getting off my bed and walking towards me, " You're lying to me, but more importantly you're lying to yourself. I can prove it."
He looked down at my lips
"No." I said before his lips met mine
I pushed him back.
"Damon what is wrong with you?"
"Am I lying about this?" he asked me
"Damon, stop." I said, " You're better than this."
"That's where you wrong." he said before trying to kiss me again
"Damon listen." I said stopping him, " I care about you. I do but… I can't do this right now. Us. I can't deal with it, not with Katherine around.
Then Jeremy came into the room.
"Audrey, what's going on in here?" he asked
"Nothing Jeremy, it's okay, just go back to bed." I said
"No, it's not okay Audrey. He want's to be a vampire." Damon said before running up to Jeremy and pushing up against the wall.
"No." I said, " Damon stop it!"
"You want to turn off the pain?" he asked Jeremy, holding him by the throat so he couldn't breath let alone speak, "It's the easiest thing in the world. The part of you that cares just goes away. All you have to do is flip the switch and snap."
Then he snapped Jeremy's neck
"NO!" I screamed before running over to Jeremy and crying.
When I looked up to find Damon he was already gone.
"ELENA!" I yelled
Elena ran into the room and looked down at Jer and I.
"Audrey, what happened?" she asked
"Damon killed him." I said through tears
Elena dropped down on her knees and started crying as well before looking down at his hand
"Oh, thank God." she said, " Audrey, he has John's ring on."
After Elena figured out Jer was wearing the ring she called Stefan. He was over in a few minutes sitting with Elena while I held Jeremy in my arms.
"He saw the ring." Stefan said, " That's why he did it, he knew."
"He didn't see the ring." I said to him
"It's Katherine. She's gotten under his skin, she undid everything that was good about him." Elena said
"There's nothing good about him, guys, not anymore. He just decided what he want's. He doesn't want to fell anymore, he want's to be hated, it's just easier that way." I said, " he got his wish. I hate him."
"We know." Stefan said
Then Jeremy woke up and Stefan grabbed his face to see if he was okay.
"Stefan is he okay?" Elena asked
"He's okay."
"He killed me." Jeremy said, " Damon killed me."
Elena and I embraced Jeremy and smiled.
(Third Person P.O.V)
Aurora is asleep in the hospital but wakes up to see Katherine standing next to the bed.
"Elena?" Aurora asked
"Hey Aurora." Katherine said
"What are you doing here?"
"My name is Katherine and I need you to deliver a message to the Salvatore boys for me."
"Katherine." Aurora said knowing all about the psychotic vampire
" At least one of you knows me." she said, " Now back to the message. Tell the Salvatore's : Game on."
Then she grabbed one of Aurora's pillows and smothered her to death. Then she put the pillow back behind her head before walking away.
Author's Note
Well, what did you think. Good? Bad? Confusing? Leave me a review and tell me what you think. Now that we're done with the chapter I would love to discuss a little about Season three of TVD. First off I loved this weeks episode so much. I was trying to think what I should do with Audrey the whole time. I mean I could keep her with Elena and Rebekah or I could send her with Damon and Stefan. I was leaning to Damon and Stefan so Audrey and Damon could dance on the bar counter, Which would be amusing, but if I did that I couldn't put the cut bed scene with Elena and Damon at the end, which would be adorable. Secondly, what is with the mid season finally next week. No more TVD until 2012! Are they trying to make us go insane. If I don't have my weekly dose of Damon I get really depressed. I mean really, what am I supposed to do until it comes back? * looks at transcripst for season two of the vampire diaries, then back at screen, then back to transcripts* Never mind that last part. Well I guess all I can do is right many more chapters of this story and be depressed until my man comes back around in 2012.
Peace , love , and Damon Salvatore
