Chapter 1: Return to Mystic Falls

My name is Sarah Salvatore. I am a vampire. For over a century I have been on the move, staying out of sight and living in secret. I have done many things during my time on this Earth. Some I am proud off. Others I'm not. My brothers hate each other and me. I have tried to bring them back together, but no matter what I do they have always pushed me, and each other, away. But now we are back together in our town home. We have returned to Mystic Falls. This is my story.

Sarah Salvatore was stood in the shadows of the forest, hidden amongst the trees behind the old Salvatore boarding house. It had been so long since she last saw it. Part of her wondered what else had changed in Mystic Fall since she was last here. She wanted to go in and see what had changed on the inside of the house, but she knew it wasn't the right time. She could hear movement in the house thanks to her vampire hearing. She didn't need to make her presence know yet. Not if there was a chance it would scare Stefan off again. So instead Sarah retreated deeper into the woods, away from the Salvatore house and towards the road. She knew Stefan well enough to know where he was going now. After all, she had been following him for the last few months. There was only one reason he was back in Mystic Falls.

Sarah had been sat on one of the bench outside the front of the school for sometime before Stefan finally showed up. He won't recognise her. He was too preoccupied with what everyone else would be thinking of him. From the way he walked, Sarah knew her brother just wanted to keep to himself. Poor Stefan, thought Sarah with a thin smile. Stefan didn't even notice her when he walked past the bench she was sat on. How would he though? He wasn't looking for her and she had new sunglasses on which made her blend in just as well as Stefan. Sarah looked over her shoulder and lifted her sunglasses as she watched her older brother walk into school. She wanted to follow him, but knew if she did she most likely get caught. So instead she went to leave.

"Excuse me, are you new here?" asked a scrawny teen as he approached Sarah. She turned back to the front and lowered her sunglasses back down so that he couldn't see her green eyes.

"Why yes I am," Sarah said, putting on the innocent and confused face as she stood up. "I was told someone was going to meet me here and show me to the school office. But I've been waiting her, for like, ten minutes and no one's showed up," she said, pretending to be panicked.

"It's alright. I can take you," the boy quickly said.

"Oh, thank you so much," Sarah said as she let the boy led her towards the school. "But before we go," Sarah said as she stopped. "Is there somewhere we can go that's private, so I can repay you properly?" From the way she pressed herself up against the teen and stroked his neck, she knew exactly what he was thinking. Teenage boys were so easy to manipulate. Sarah could hear the boy's heart beat increase as he thought about what to do. Sarah of course already knew the outcome.

"Sure...I-I-I know a place," the boy stammered nervously. His first time. How cute. Sarah thought as she gave him a flirty smile. The boy then ran over to his friends and explained that he'd catch up with them before returning to Sarah. "Come on let's go," said the boy taking Sarah's hand and power walking away from the school. Part of Sarah felt bad for what she was about to do to the poor boy, but instinct overpowered those feelings. The boy led her a few blocks until they reach a turn and then he led her towards the forest.

"Pretty far from school. Are you sure we'll have time to get back?" Sarah asked, continuing her new girl act as the boy threw down his backpack.

"Yeah. We've got plenty of time," the boy said as he began pulling off his shirt. It got stuck around his head and it took him a few seconds to pull it off. While he did that, Sarah removed her sunglasses and put them in the back pocket of her jeans. She didn't see the need in getting her new sunglasses covered in blood. When the boy finally got his shirt off he saw Sarah standing right in front of him.

"You ready?" Sarah asked with a grin.

"You bet," said the boy trying to give off a confident tone, as if he had done it before. Sarah didn't by it one bit.

"Good," Sarah said stepping closer so that her face was only inches from the boys. "Now," Sarah started and then the boy's eyes locked with her own. Her forest green eyes mesmerised him like she had done with hundreds of others. He had no chance against her power. He was trapped, unable to do anything but listen to her.

"Stand still and don't scream," she ordered. She then broke off eye contact and the boy snapped out of the trance Sarah had put him in. But he did as he was told. He stood still and he didn't scream. He flinched when Sarah's eyes became bloodshot with black throbbing veins surrounding them and he jumped slightly when she bared her fangs at him. A second later she was on him. She grabbed him by the hair and pulled his head to the side so that she could bite his neck. She dug her fangs into his neck, feeling the taste of blood flood into her mouth. It was delicious. The best taste she had ever experienced in her whole life. She drank and drank until she felt the boy go limp in her hands. Luckily, she had more control than her brothers. She pulled back and smiled a bloody smile at the dazed boy.

"Thank you for that," Sarah said as she licked her blood covered lips. "Now where to start?" Sarah murmured to herself as she locked eyes with the boy, compelling him just as she had before. Her green eyes were irresistible to the boy and all he saw was Sarah, the rest of the world vanished in a hazy blur behind her. "You're going to go home and shower. Put a bandage on that bite and then go back to school. If anyone asks what happened, you were attacked by some kind of animal that you didn't get a good look at," Sarah commanded.

"I was attacked by a animal. I didn't get a good look at it," repeated the boy in a trace like tone.

"If anyone asks about me you'll say you made a move on me and I walked away," Sarah said, continuing her instructions.

"I made a move on you. You walked away."

"Good. Now off you go," ordered Sarah and the boy collected his things before walking home. Sarah wiped the remaining blood from her face and then looked herself over to make sure she hadn't gotten any on her cloths. Once that was done she put her sunglasses back on and returned to the school to wait for Stefan to finish. He would figure out she was here soon enough, but by then he might not want to leave. That was her hope. That Stefan would be to in love to leave. Then all Sarah would have to do is get Damon to Mystic Falls and their family could finally be reunited after all this time.

"Hey, Scarlett, wait up," Jeremy said as he jogged over to the dark haired girl. As she walked, Scarlett looked back over to see Jeremy running up to her. She looked away and rolled her eyes as she started to pick up her walking pace. But Jeremy caught up to her and jumped out in front of her to block her path. His stupid smile made Scarlett want to punch him right in the face. She only just managed to restrain herself because of the tragedy he had just gone through. She knew what it was like to lose your parents. But that didn't make Scarlet change her attitude towards the annoying boy that never stopped trying to ask her out. "How was your vacation?" Jeremy asked.

"Fine," Scarlet muttered and then stepped to the side, trying to get around him only for Jeremy to blocked her path once again.

"Do anything interesting?" Jeremy asked, trying to start a conversation that Scarlett knew wasn't going to happen.

"No," snapped Scarlett, trying again to step around only for Jeremy to once again block her. But Scarlett had a short fuse and Jeremy had already pissed her off. "Will you get out of my way?" Scarlett asked with a glare to Jeremy as she flicked her dark hair out of her blue eyes.

"Sorry," Jeremy said as he stepped aside, hurt by the harshness of Scarlett's words. She didn't care and had no plans on apologising. "I was just wondering, are you planning on going to the party tomorrow night?" Jeremy asked hopefully as Scarlett walked away.

"No!" Scarlett snapped without looking back as she stomps in through the back door to the school. She hated Jeremy. For what felt like forever, all he had done was follow her around like a lost little puppy. He would never leave her along no matter how many times she said no to him. When his parents had died she felt bad for him and when he started using drugs he actually became more likeable. But then he kicked them and went back to being annoying. She had held back before summer out of respect for his loss but she was done now. People stopped giving her breaks after one month after her parents' death. Jeremy had had four now, which Scarlet saw as more than enough.

Sarah lost Stefan after school but then found him again when he returned to the Salvatore boarding house. He seemed tense, probably a result of his bad human blood free diet. For him it was better than the alternative but Sarah never understood why he couldn't control it. She watched him enter the house were he remained locked away for some time.

A few hours later, Sarah began contemplating leaving to go and get a bite to eat. Perhaps she could find the boy she fed on this morning and have seconds. But she stopped thinking of food when Stefan suddenly emerged. Sarah remained hidden from sight behind the trees, watching Stefan walk off. She followed him from a distance and once he was away from the house he broke into a run, moving in a blur. He was using his vampire speed, but Sarah didn't have to worry. Even when Stefan ate a normal vampire diet he was still nowhere near as fast as her. And in his blood deprived state she could probably keep up with him at human speed. However she didn't want to risk it and chased after him, remaining at a distance.

She followed him until he reached a housing estate where he returned to walking pace. Staying a few houses behind him, Sarah watched as Stefan approached one of the houses. He stepped up onto the porch and stood waiting. It didn't take Sarah long to realise he was listening to the conversation going on inside.

"What are you up to Stefan?" Sarah muttered to herself as she brushed her raven hair behind her ear. She turned her head so that her ear was facing the house Stefan was stood in front of and listened.

"I'm meeting Bonnie at the Grill," said a young teenage girl.

"Okay, have fun. Wait, I got this. Don't stay out late, it's a school night," a young woman said. At a guess Sarah would have said she was in her early thirties.

"Well done, Aunt Jenna," the teenage girl said. Sarah could hear her footsteps moving towards the front door. She looked back to the front porch where Stefan was still stood. Then the door opened and Sarah saw the girl stood on the other side. She knew who it was on sight but it still shocked her how similar she looked to Katherine, the woman who had torn her family apart. This woman was identical to her. This was Elena Gilbert.

"Oh!" Elena said in surprise when she saw Stefan standing outside.

"Sorry, I was about to knock," lied Stefan causing Sarah to smile at him from where she was stood, three houses down. "I wanted to apologise for my disappearing act earlier. I know it was...strange."

"No worries. I get it, blood makes you squeamish," Elena said and Sarah's eyes widened slightly. So he had been with her before he returned to the house. Sarah could only imagine the restraint Stefan must have had to use to stop himself from feeding on her. But she found it amusing for Stefan to think he could live without blood. She would have to prove him wrong once she made her presence known.

"Um, something like that. How's your leg?" Stefan asked.

"Oh, it's fine. Just a scratch, barely. How did you know where I lived?" Sarah smiled as she watched Stefan squirm. This girl was smart. Now what're you going to do Stefan.

"It's a small town. I asked the first person I saw," Stefan answered. Going to have to do better than that Stefan if you want to throw this girl, Sarah thought as she watched, eagerly waiting for Stefan to screw up. "Um, I thought you might want this back," Stefan continued, pulling out a book and handing it over to Elena.

"Oh, I must have dropped it. I-Thank you," Elena said as she held the book close. It irritated Sarah that Stefan had managed to change the topic without Elena picking up on it, but she had to give him credit on how he did it.

"Don't worry, I didn't...read it," Stefan quickly said when Elena gave him a worried look. Sarah knew he was telling the truth. Stefan wasn't the noise type, he respected people's boundaries.

"No? Why not? Most people have."

"Well, I wouldn't want anyone to read mine," Stefan said causing Sarah to smirk. She and Damon had peaked at his journals multiple times over the years. Mostly because they knew how much it irritated him. It had always been a bonding experience for them.

"You keep a journal?" asked an astonished Elena.

"Yeah, if I don't write it down, I forget it. Memories are too important," Stefan said and Sarah fought the urge to laugh at his cheesiness. Stefan was such a homeless romantic.

"Yeah. I'm just gonna... Um, you don't have to stay out there," Elena said as she turned back into the house to put her journal away. Stefan looked down at the bottom of the door frame and lifted his foot, but he didn't cross the threshold. I don't think so Stefan. You haven't been invited in. Thought Sarah as she watched her brother stand on the porch, wishing he could enter.

"I'm fine," Stefan called into the house, knowing he didn't have a choice. "Sorry, were you going somewhere?" Stefan asked when Elena returned to the doorway.

"Yeah, I'm meeting a friend. Do you want to come?" Elena asked and Stefan smiled back at her.

"Sure," he said and Elena stepped out of the house.

Sarah couldn't describe the urge she was feeling to run forwards and kill Elena in that moment. It wasn't the blood lust, or anything against Elena or even Stefan. It was because of Katherine. Sarah knew Elena wasn't Katherine but part of her felt that if she killed Elena she would get revenge for what Katherine had done to her family. Lost in her revenge fantasy she almost didn't notice Elena and Stefan coming her way. She ran out of sight before Stefan or Elena could lay eyes on her and watched as they made their way down the street. She followed them to a restaurant in the town centre called the Mystic Grill and remained outside, listing in on Stefan's every word. From what she heard, she knew he at the very least had a crush on Elena. But would that be enough to keep him here. Only time would tell.

It may have been dark out but it was quieter than it was inside for Scarlett. Inside she had to listen to her jackass of an uncle shout and criticise her every action. Outside she was along with her guitar, at peace. She was sat on a tree stump, legs crossed over at the knee with her guitar balanced on top. Behind she could hear the loud sounds of a laugh track for whatever sitcom her uncle was watching in the trailer a few feet behind her. Usually when she was turned away from the trailer she could ignore it but her uncle had it up extra loud tonight.

She began strumming cords in a tune she had made up, humming along with lyrics that she hadn't decided on. After a while she stopped humming and she strummed the cords, looking up at the night sky while she did. That was one benefit to live outside Mystic Falls. She could see the night sky and stars clearly, and it was quiet. Or at least it was when her uncle was asleep or at work. Looking back to her guitar she changed the song she was playing. She went from playing her own song to playing one she'd learnt a while back. It was a song she had heard by Miley Cyrus, The Climb. She didn't like the singer but she liked that song and had quickly mastered it once she got her hands on the sheet music. For some reason it made her feel, relax, at easy. It helped her escape her depressing real life.

"I didn't know you liked Miley Cyrus," said Jeremy as he emerged from the trees. At the sound of his voice Scarlett jumped, dropping her guitar to the floor.

"Jesus!" Scarlett shouted angrily as she turned around to Jeremy before turning back to pick up her guitar.

"Sorry, I-I didn't mean to scare-"

"Yeah, well, you did," snapped Scarlett as she picked up the guitar and brushed off the dirt that had left a mark on it.

"Is your guitar ok?" Jeremy asked as he went to examine it but Scarlett was quick to yank it out of his grasp.

"Don't!" Scarlett said firmly.

"Sorry. I didn't mean-"

"You never do Jeremy, but you always do it!" Scarlett said angrily as she started walking back towards the trailer.

"I liked your playing!" Jeremy called after Scarlett and she stopped. Few people ever commented on her guitar playing, mostly because very few people had actually heard her. She had stopped playing publicly after her mother passed. She couldn't deny it felt good to be compliment on her skill after going unnoticed for so long.

"Good night, Jeremy," Scarlett said before continuing on towards the trailer. Jeremy wanted to say something but knew better than to speak or chase after her. Instead he backed away and headed for home. By the time Scarlet reached the door to her trailer, Jeremy was gone. She looked back, and scanned the area before saying in a quiet whisper, "Thank you." She then walked into her trailer where her uncle hadn't moved from his seat in front of the small TV.

The next day for Sarah was much like the previous day. She followed Stefan as he went to school then waited until it ended and followed him home. She knew where he was going next so she left the boarding house and headed for the site of the party were it had already begun. She watched silently from the side. Occasionally pulling an arriving party guest into the forest for a small snack. She had drank from two students and wiped their memories by the time Stefan finally showed. She knew she had nothing to worry about. The bite marks she'd left on the students was unnoticeable and she hadn't taken that much blood. If they dropped down on the ground, people would think they were just drunk which was probably true from the amount of drink some of these teenagers were downing.

Sarah watched from her leaned back position against a tree, her hands in her leather jacket pockets as she watched Stefan. If he turned around he would see her, but he wouldn't turn around. Not when Elena was on the other side of the opening in the forest. He was so obviously crushing on her. She watched as Stefan listened in on Elena.

"Tsk-Tsk," muttered Sarah as she shook her head from side to side. Then as Stefan went to talk to Elena a blond girl cut him off, she looked way to happy and enthusiastic for Sarah's liking.

"Hey! You made it!" said the blonde girl excitedly.

"I did," replied Stefan politely.

"Well, let's get you a drink."

"Well, I'm-"

"Oh, Come on," the blonde said as she grabbed hold of Stefan's wrist and dragged him off. Sarah couldn't help but laugh. She watched Stefan get dragged across the opening by the girl until she let's go of him to get them both drinks. But the second she had her back to Stefan he run back across to Elena. No one even noticed him. Which was lucky consider how slow he was moving. He really need to get some human blood in him, Sarah would help him with that.

"Hi," Stefan said when Elena turned around to find him standing behind her.

"Hi," Elena said back.

"I did it again, didn't I," Stefan said jokingly.

"Yeah," Elena said with a laugh. You're little vampire tricks will only get you so far brother, Sarah thought as she watched the two. Sooner or later Elena would start getting suspicious and then the questions would be asked, questions that Stefan couldn't answer without showing Elena his true self. Luckily Sarah was here to help in that department.

The two chatted for a bit before both wondering off to a nearby bridge. Sarah of course followed, swiping a beer bottle from one of the teens so she looked more natural. She had a sip but the bottle was already three quarters gone. It was fine though, she was still full from her two snacks earlier on in the evening.

"You know, you're kind of the talk of the town," said Elena as they came to a stop on the bridge.

"Am I?" Stefan asked, his voice was calm but Sarah knew there was fear behind it. He didn't want to be the centre of attention, he wanted to blend in and be normal. Sadly that was not an option for him or Sarah.

"Mmm hmm. Mysterious new guy, oh, yeah."

"Well, you have the mysterious thing going too. Twinged in sadness."

"What makes you think that I'm sad?" Elena asked with a frown.

"Well, we did meet in a graveyard."

"Right. Well, no, technically we met in the men's room," Elena pointed out with a nervous laugh.

"Oh brother," muttered Sarah with a roll of her eyes before taking another sip of her beer. She was going to need a lot more than this if she was going to have to listen to this horrible flirting much longer.

"So what were you doing in the graveyard?" Stefan asked. Elena paused for a moment and then answered. If Stefan had compelled her, Sarah hadn't seen it.

"Last spring...my parents' car drove off of a bridge into the lake. And I was in the backseat and I survived, but...they didn't. So that's my story."

"You won't be sad forever, Elena," Stefan said, looking into her eyes. If only you knew if that were true brother, Sarah thought to herself. Stefan hadn't been truly happy in over a century. Time doesn't heal all wounds, as Sarah and her brothers knew all too well.

Then came a quite scream from the forest nearby. It wasn't loud enough for anyone to hear over the roar of the party but Sarah heard it thanks to her vampire hearing. She looked towards the source, recognising it as a scream from help. She turned back to Stefan and Elena. He hadn't heard it, probably to focused on Elena. Good. Then she could deal with it without Stefan finding out she was back in town.

"Don't go anywhere," Sarah said quietly to herself before she ran off in a blur towards the source of the scream. When she arrived she found a young man, teenager, pressing another girl up against a tree and trying to get her cloths off.

"No, Ty. I'm not having sex against a tree," the girl groaned.

"Oh, come on, it would be hot," said the boy, clearly ignoring the girl's protests and her refusal to go along with it.

"It's not going to happen, not here, not like this. No. I said no. I said no! Ow, that hurts!" shouted the girl as the guy pushed her against the tree and started pulling her clothes off. If there was one thing Sarah had grown to hate over the past century of being a vampire, it was jackasses like this one that forced woman into doing something they didn't want to. "Tyler get off me!" the girl shouted at him but the boy kept going.

"She said 'No' dumb ass," Sarah snapped as she grabbed Tyler by the collar of his shirt and threw him back down to the ground.

"What the hell!" shouted an angry Tyler as he glared up at Sarah from the ground. She didn't give him the chance to say anything else. She had him pushed down against the ground in the blink of an eye, her heeled boot pressing down on his neck. She watched him choke for a moment, desperately trying to breath. It was no good, she was pressing down on his wind pipe. Who's to tell if she would have killed him then and there, but she released him when the girl asked her to.

"Please don't kill him," she begged. Sarah looked to her, still choking Tyler and then let him go. She pulled him up to his feet and locked eyes with him.

"You're going to apologise to this girl and then go back to the party and forget my face," ordered Sarah as she compelled Tyler. When she had finished giving him her commands, he walked over to the girl like he was a zombie and looked her in the eye.

"Sorry," Tyler said and then walked off back towards the party, shaking his head as if he'd just woken up from a weird dream.

"How'd you do that?" asked the girl in amazement as she looked back to Sarah. Sarah smiled at the young girl.

"What's your name?" Sarah asked her as she took a step over to the girl.

"Vicki."

"Well, Vicki, I hope you dump his ass after tonight," Sarah said as grabbed onto Vicki's face with her hands, holding her still while she stared into her eyes. "Now forget my face, and go for a walk," she ordered with the power of her compulsion. When she let go of Vicki, the girl picked a direction and started walking. A look of confusion on her face as if she didn't know why she was doing what she was doing. Sarah watched the girl vanish into the woods with a smile. She had to admit she enjoyed being the hero from time to time. But it was time to get back to her family business. She ran back over to the bridge Stefan and Elena were at, moving through the night as a blur without anyone ever knowing she was there and then resumed her watch. When Sarah focused her hearing back on Stefan and Elena they were talking about Elena's friends.

"I like Bonnie, she seems like a good friend," Stefan said as Sarah returned to her eavesdropping.

"Best friend in the world," said Elena with a smile.

"And Matt, he can't seem to, uh, take his eyes off of us," Stefan said. Sarah and Elena both looked across to another bridge where a boy in a football jersey stood with a dark skinned girl and the blonde girl that had being talking to Stefan earlier. They didn't matter to Sarah but she memorised their faces so that she knew who Elena's friends were. Her focus was her brother.

"Matt's that friend since childhood that you start dating because you owe it to yourselves to see if you can be more," Elena explained as she turned back to Stefan.

"And?"

"And then my parents died, and everything changes. Anyway, Matt and I, together we just, I don't know, it wasn't, um...it wasn't..." Elena was struggling to find the word but Sarah knew what she was trying to say. Apparently so did Stefan considering what he said next.

"Passionate?" Stefan suggested.

"No. No, it wasn't passionate," agreed Elena. She was smiling but then it turned to a concerned frown. "Hey, um, are you okay? Um, your eye, it just, it's..." Elena stammered as she looked at Stefan. Sarah couldn't see Stefan's eyes as he his back to her, but when he turned around she saw his bloodshot eyes with black throbbing veins around.

"Oh, um... Yeah, no, it's um, it's nothing," Stefan tried to stall as he tried to get his eyes under control. Go on Stefan. Feed. Feed! Sarah thought, wishing he would. It was the only way he could get stronger and get himself under control. He didn't feed, much to Sarah's disappointment, but did manage to return his eyes to normal before turning back to Elena.

"Um, are you thirsty? I'm gonna get us a drink," declared Stefan as he walked off the bridge and back towards the party. About time, Sarah thought as she vanished back into the woods before following Stefan from a few steps behind. But when she got back to the centre of the party she lost sight of Stefan. She scanned the crowd for him but he was nowhere in sight. Had he already dragged someone into the woods to feed. It would certainly help Sarah if Stefan was back up to full strength, but considering how long he'd gone without human blood it seemed unlikely. That was what Sarah thought at least until she heard a faint cry of pain from the woods.

She ran off and was at the scene in a second. Stood amongst the trees, all Sarah could see was a man with his face buried in the neck of a young girl. She stepped closer and saw that it was not her brother. She kept going until she stepped on a twig and snapped it in two. The sound echoed through the area and the man pulled his face up from the girl's neck. His mouth was covered in blood, fangs showing in his mouth, with bright blue icy eyes surrounded by a red sea and black root like veins that were fuelled by an urge to feed. But Sarah didn't see any of that. She saw the person behind the monster stood before her, the one with the same raven hair as her. She saw her brother.

"Hello, Damon," Sarah said, her voice betraying her and giving off her surprise to find him here.

"Hey, Sis," Damon replied in his usual charming manor, a bloody smile to compliment it. "Want a bite?" he asked as he turned the girl he'd been feeding on around. It took Sarah a moment to realise that the girl was Vicki, blood stains all over her neck and some splatter across her face.

"Made a new friend already?" Sarah asked mockingly as she smiled back at her brother.

"Always the comedian," Damon said as he pushed Vicki towards Sarah. Sarah didn't catch her, she stepped to the side and let the girl stumble to the ground. Damon laughed a little as he watched the confused and injured Vicki roll onto her back before passing out. "Now that was funny," Damon chuckled as he approached his little sister.

"Didn't know you were in town," Sarah said folding her arms across her chest as Damon stopped in front of her.

"Could say the same to you," Damon replied with a smirk.

"Jeremy, where the hell are you going?" came the familiar voice of Elena in the distance. Sarah and Damon looked over in the direction of the noise and could hear Elena and who ever she was following getting closer.

"Gotta go," Damon said turning back to Sarah with a glint of excitement in his eye. "Catch you later, Sis." Sarah tried to grab hold of him but Damon was already gone. She looked back to Vick, lying on the ground and thought about taking her. But it was too late, a boy was already coming into view and Sarah could see Elena running after him. The boy hadn't see Sarah because he was looking at the ground but if Sarah tried to move Vicki he'd defiantly spot her. So she ran off back towards the party to find Stefan. She had to make sure he saw her before Damon, otherwise her plan could completely fail. She had to keep them both in Mystic Falls.

She only got a few minutes of searching before she heard Elena shouting as she and the boy she'd been following returned to the party with Vicki in their arms. A crowd quickly formed, all watching as a few of the teenagers actually tried to help Vicki. Sarah watched the commotion unfold before spotting Stefan leaving the party in a panic. She ran over to cut him off and stopped by the side of the path Stefan was running down. A few seconds later Stefan came running down the path and stopped cold when he saw Sarah standing a few meters ahead of him. Sarah just smiled at her brother, their forest green eyes catching each other, and she waved to him.

"Sarah...was it you?" Stefan asked, suddenly breathless. Sarah shrugged before giving her brother a fiendish smile.

"See you at home, Stefan," was all Sarah said before running off. She knew there was no chance of Stefan catching up to her. He'd run home and she'd be there waiting for him. She couldn't help but smile as she ran. She loved teasing her brother.

She arrived at the boarding house quickly enough but was surprised to see Damon entering the house. She stopped in the woods and waited. Best to let Damon tell Stefan himself that he was back. No sense in taking that fun moment from her eldest brother. A few minutes later Stefan came running up the drive and ran into the house. Even from a distance, Sarah could hear him as he ran straight up to his bedroom. He had been expecting to find Sarah but instead he found his other sibling.

"Damon," Stefan said. Sarah grinned to herself as she imagined the look on Stefan's face.

"Hello, brother," said Damon, followed by a pause. Part of Sarah wanted to go in and join in on the family reunion, but she figured that they'd come to her soon enough.

"When'd you get here?" Stefan asked.

"You know Sarah's here?" Damon asked, quick to change the topic.

"Yes. I saw her. Are you and her working together again?" asked Stefan.

"Please, like I need her," Damon said nonchalantly. Admittedly it hurt Sarah but it was also nothing new to her. She had Damon had worked together to hurt Stefan before, but it only ended in them arguing and fighting each other more than with Stefan. That was during one of her bad moods, when she just wanted everyone to suffer.

"Why are you here?" Stefan asked, returning the spotlight to Damon.

"I missed my siblings," Damon answered.

"You hate small town," Stefan quickly pointed out. "It's boring. There's nothing for you to do."

"I've managed to keep busy."

"You know, you left that girl alive tonight. That's very clumsy of you," Stefan said, trying to get any information out of his brother.

"Technically that was our dear sister." corrected Damon.

"So it was her?" Stefan said in a questioning manor.

"Sure, why not," Damon said, he was getting bored with the conversation about his recent meals anyway. Sarah also didn't mind Damon blaming her for his kills. Certainly wasn't the first time he'd done it. Stefan was normally pretty good at knowing whether it was Damon or Sarah, but he was out of practise and without Sarah in the room to defend herself he couldn't tell if Damon was telling the truth or not.

"Why are you here now?" Stefan asked, once again returning to his original question.

"I could ask you and Sarah the same thing. But I think I can sum up Your answer in one word... Elena." Stefan didn't reply, so Damon kept pressing him. "She took my breath away. She's a dead ringer for Katherine. How do you think Sarah will react when she finds out about her?" At Damon's question, Sarah heard Stefan's heart skip a beat. Had he forgotten about her hatred towards Katherine for what she had done? Did he think she would kill Elena when she saw her, thinking it was Katherine instead? If so he wasn't entirely wrong. Sarah hadn't seen the dead body of Katherine and as such refused to accept that the bitch was truly gone. She had no closure, and that lack of closure could led to her attacking Elena. She almost had yesterday.

"I guess it doesn't matter," Damon said as he continued, now pushing another of Stefan's buttons, trying to get a reaction out of him. "So is it working, Stefan? Being around her, being in her world? Does it make you feel alive?"

"She's not Katherine," Stefan cut in.

"Well, let's hope not. Otherwise our dear sister might lose it. But at least she's on a healthy diet. What about you Stefan? When was the last time you had something stronger than a squirrel?" Damon asked. Now he was pushing the button that Sarah was going to push. It irritated her that Damon had gotten to him before her, she had been looking forward to watching Stefan squirm at the talk of blood.

"I know what you're doing, Damon. It's not gonna work," Stefan said, but his shaking voice said different.

"Yeah? Come on. Don't you crave a little?" asked Damon as he stepped closer to Stefan and began gently whacking him on the side of the head, trying to aggravate him.

"Stop it."

"Let's do it. Together. Come on, we'll round up Sarah had have a nice family meal. I saw a couple of cute girls down the road, they looked tasty enough. Or let's just cut to the chase, let's just go straight for Elena."

"Stop it!" Stefan said, raising his voice. It was too easy, Sarah thought to herself, but she couldn't help but be annoyed that Damon was the one pushing him and not her. And all this talk of blood was starting to make her hungry.

"Imagine what her blood tastes like!" Damon continued, also raising his voice.

"I said Stop!" Stefan shouted and a second later the two brother came flying out the window, smashing through the glass and diving onto the ground below. Sarah saw her chance and she took it, she ran over before the two recovered and then came to a stop as they got back up.

"I see you two are as close as ever," Sarah said smugly as she stood over them. Damon was quickly back on his feet, Stefan took a little longer, another side effect of the lack of human blood in his system.

"Sarah, give me a second opinion. I think the tackle was about a six, lacking style sure, but the whole face thing seemed pretty authentic," Damon said, judging his brothers attack like it was a sport.

"Definitely not his best. But how could it be with the diet he's on," agreed Sarah as she played along with Damon's act, the two nodding their head as they looked down on Stefan who was still catching his breath.

"You know, it's all fun and games. But wherever you two go, people die," Stefan said as he stood up to his full height.

"The same could be said for you, you know," Sarah replied with a grin.

"Not anymore," Stefan said firmly. "I won't let you two hurt anyone. Not here."

"I take that as an invitation," Damon said with challenge in his voice.

"Damon, please. After all these years, can't we just give it a rest?" begged Stefan.

"I promised you an eternity of misery, so I'm just keeping my word." pointed out Damon, thinking he was in the right. Sarah just rolled her eyes and sighed at the petty argument going on between her brothers.

"You two seriously need to grow up," Sarah muttered as she looked off into the distance.

"Thanks for the input," Damon snapped back, with his usual charming grin.

"Just stay away from Elena," Stefan continued.

"Like you can stop me," Damon snorted.

"I can, and I will," Stefan said aggressively.

"Now, now boys," Sarah said as she stepped in between her two brothers. "What do you say we apologise to each other before the sun comes up? Otherwise I might turn into an only child," she said as she showed them their family rings. She had swiped them while they had been on the ground and was now smiling smugly at the two.

"Clever girl," Damon said with a proud smile towards his sister.

"Never mind the compliments."

"My apologises. Ahem, Stefan. I'm sorry for aggravating you," Damon said in way that made Sarah think that if she didn't know her brother, she might have actually believed him. Once he was finished speaking he turned back to Sarah with another charming smile.

"Very good Damon," Sarah said as she threw his ring back over to him.

"Thank you," Damon said putting his ring back on.

"Now you Stefan," Sarah ordered, turning to her other brother. Stefan just glared back at her angrily. "I have all eternity, Stefan. But you won't once the sun raises," Sarah pointed out smugly as she forced Stefan to play her game. He rolled his eyes and turned his glare on Damon.

"Sorry," Stefan said coldly.

"That didn't sound genuine to me," Damon said as Sarah turned to him with a cocked eyebrow.

"And yours was so heartfelt," She joked before throwing Stefan his ring. But no sooner had he put it back on, Damon grabbed his brother by the throat and threw him over the yard and into the garage door. He slammed into and then dropped down onto his back, breathless. He blinked and then Damon and Sarah were standing over him.

"You should know better than to think you're stronger than me. You lost that fight when you stopped feeding on people. I wouldn't try it again," Damon snarled at his brother as he leaned down over him. Then his tone completely changed when he stood back up, his charming smile returning to his face. "Well I think that was another great family reunion, see you both in another decade," Damon said cheerfully as he walked off at a leisurely pace.

"Nice seeing you again Stefan. Can't wait for you to introduce us to Elena," Sarah said with a sinister smile before walking off in the opposite direction of Damon, leaving Stefan defeated and lying on the ground outside the boarding house.
