A/N. Thank you so much for the reviews! I am not going to comment on the pairings as I would rather have it as a surprise for you ;) This chapter does follow from season 3 episode 1, however, I have changed it around a bit and haven't added some scenes that are in the show either. Enjoy and don't forget to review!
Chapter 2 – The Birthday
Stefan's POV
It was a dark cool night in Tennessee, when I found myself looking for a guy that I've never met before, with Klaus whom seems to want me around for some reason. I found myself at a big house, where Klaus had told me the plan so now I'm just waiting for my cue…
All I had to do was go with the plan, nothing out of the ordinary that I've not done before.
I hear Klaus talking; they are in the house, which means this is my cue to stand next to the door for when they run. I hear footsteps, running towards the door.
"Now, may my friend come inside?" Klaus asks, asking the woman he has by his side. She's scared, and she's crying. Usually this would stop me, but not anymore. I'm a different person now.
"Y-Yes…" And with that answer I step forward.
"Kill this one quickly," Klaus pushes the girl who he had a hold of, "Make that one suffer. I'll be in the car." And with that, he laughs, and leaves.
When he's the gone, the girl murmurs, "Please don't, please." Like she's hoping I'm different, that I won't kill her, that I'm not like Klaus. I don't think, I just act.

Elena's POV
I'm just lying here, thinking. I don't feel like I want to get up. After everything, for once, I feel like I need time on my own, I want to run away from all this.
I know that I can't though, I have to stay, especially after Bella being back, I feel happy about that but I also feel sad because I know she hates me, and I hate me too.
And then there's Stefan… he's gone, he's somewhere with Klaus, and I can't bear to think about what he's going through. I need him around me.
I force myself out of bed, as not even the thought of my sister, Bella safe can make me get out of bed because I don't know that now.
I walk into Jeremy's room after I'm dressed, and I open his curtains, letting the sun fill the room as I know Jeremy is late for work.
"No… No… it's too early." Jeremy murmurs, of course he's fine, because I haven't told him about Bella being back. He doesn't need that. Not right now.
"No it's not. According to Matt, you're late for work." I say walking out of his room.
"Well, maybe he'll fire me…" Jeremy said, still not fully awake.
"He might," I laugh and head straight back to my bedroom.
I need to somehow talk to Bella, I've got to explain. She's not answering me though, she could be anywhere… she could have left, gone back to Charlie's for all I know. Just at that moment my phone bleeps, for a second I think that it may be Bella… but I sigh when I realise it is just Caroline. She's talking about the party tonight, as I'm heading downstairs, but I'm not really listening, my mind is focused elsewhere, all I can think about is my sister Bella, until…
"You need to call my Mum." She changes the subject and my minds back on Stefan.
"Why? Has she found something?" I hope, I hope…
"Another animal attack in Tennessee… it might not be them, Elena." Caroline says, I know that she's trying to not get my hopes up.
"But it might be… anyway, I got to go, I'll see you later." I said.
"Yes you will. And wear something pretty…"Caroline said before we hung up.
I was now in the kitchen, getting some breakfast for myself to eat.
"Was that Stefan news?" Alaric asked me, I turn to him, and I feel like he wants, he needs, more answers on Bella as well. I haven't told him much, in fact, I haven't told him anything until Bella returned and I had no choice but to, although, I told him as little as possible.
"It could be just Klaus's victims," I am again, hoping that Stefan is okay and that this is all not on him, but I'm also hoping that Alaric doesn't question me about Bella.
He is quiet. He doesn't say anything for a long time… I know what he's doing; he's waiting for me to open up about Bella. No way.
"Are you okay sleeping on the couch? It's just… there are rooms and bedrooms upstairs…"
"I'm fine, I don't really want to sleep in your dead-parents' bedroom, or my dead ex-girlfriends bedroom," Alaric says, and I look down, knowing that he is ashamed of the fact I never told him about Bella, but also that I never told Bella about Jenna, I'm about to head out when Alaric stops me, "Elena…" I'm hesitant, I don't know what he has to say, I don't know, it could be about Bella, I turn around, I feel like something is blocked in my throat…
"Happy Birthday," And I breathe a sigh of relief, because I really do not want Alaric asking me questions just yet, I don't know how I'm going to answer.
"Th-Thanks," I stutter, and I leave the house, heading straight to the Salvatore boarding house.
#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT
When I'm at the boarding house, I walk in and memories flood through me of me and Stefan, I feel a slight pain go through me knowing that he's not here.
I head straight to the living room, and I pull my hair back in the right way when I'm about to call Damon's name.
"Morning,"I hear Damon say behind me, I turn around,"Hey I was gonna-" but I stop midway as Damon is naked in front of me. How dare he! He definitely knew I was here! His eyebrows wiggle, and I'm left disgusted at Damon!
"Oh," I turn back around, so I'm not facing hands,"You heard me. You knew that I was here."
"You should learn to knock," Damon says, and I hear him getting ready so I throw him a towel.
When he's decent, I tell him the news about Stefan but he doesn't seem to think it's anything that could change anything and I'm disappointed in him, because it could change something.
"Fine, I'll go by myself," I angrily state, trying to walk past him.
"And have Klaus know you are tracking his every move when you're supposed to be dead? I don't think so Elena." Damon replied.
"This is a new lead Damon! We haven't had one in a while, we need to check it out." I argue back.
"We don't have to do anything," Damon say,"I and Alaric will go."
"But-" I try and argue with him, because I need to be there. I have to…
"No buts. We will call you if there is anything you need to know." Damon said leaving the room, I sigh.

Bella's POV
I don't know why I was still in Mystic Falls, living in a motel, when I refuse to answer Elena's calls. I don't know why I haven't left. I know that I want answers, and I know today is Elena's birthday but I just don't know anymore. I have absolutely no idea what I'm supposed to do anymore, everything I ever thought, was that a lie? Was I wrong to come back here? Was I wrong to believe that I can face up to that night? I can't go back now, I thought to myself. If I go back, I will never come back.
I sigh to myself, before reaching for my cell phone, I decided to text Elena.
We need to talk. We can meet at the grill or something? Bella.
I was hoping that she'd text me back, because I know how Elena can be stubborn, knowing that I've ignored her calls and texts she may feel like she needs to do the same. Could she blame me though for ignoring her?
I sigh, I wonder if she's even told Jeremy yet. Probably not, he would have called me, then again, I'm not so sure anymore.
Just at that moment, my phone bleeped with a message, Elena had replied. It said:
Ok. Can come home as Jeremy is working at the grill tonight, and I haven't told him yet. E x
So, that definitely answered my question then.
#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT
Elena's POV
"I promise I'm not going to break down today. Not on my birthday." I say to myself in my mirror, after texting Bella back. I was quite surprised that she'd texted me, to be honest.
"Well, it's your birthday. You can cry if you want to." A voice said from behind me. I jump, feeling panicked until I see Damon in the mirror behind me. I'm guessing there's no news on Stefan then.
"You scared me," I say, "What's up?"
"Nothing," Damon said, "Look, I know I said I wouldn't get you a gift but…" I turn around and I wait, I'm surprised… but not shocked. He opens the box and there is a necklace… my necklace. The necklace that Stefan originally got me, with vervain inside to stop vampires from compelling me.
"Wow! My necklace, how'd you get it?" I asked her,"I thought I'd never see it again."
"Alaric found it in the loft." Damon replied smiling.
"Well, thank you. Would you?" I asked referring to the necklace around my neck.
I breathe in slowly, as Damon undoes the necklace and puts it around my neck.
"Shall we?" Damon offered.
"I can't, I'm going to have to meet you at the party, as I've got something to do before." I replied, I needed to see Bella, at least try and explain.
"Alright," Damon said and doesn't question me for once, as he walks to the door, "If you're sure."
I nod and for a second I feel like saying no, and that he should take me to my party, because part of me doesn't want to face Bella, and tell her, but I can't keep this on hold forever so I wait until he leaves.
#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT
Bella's POV
I head straight to the front door, breathing in deeply, I'm nervous. I have no idea what's going to be said, and if I'm wanting to hear it. I have to do this at some point though, I couldn't keep acting like I don't care when I clearly do.
I took one last breath before I knocked on the door, suddenly getting the feeling like I'm seeing someone based on business. No, this is my sister; she's still the same person, Elena Gilbert.
For a moment, I feel like at any moment, that Alaric dude is going to open the door, and then I will be mad.
The door opens and I look up to see Elena, she's in a white dress that just stops below her knees but it doesn't look slutty.
"Hi," She says, it seems like Elena doesn't really know what else to say, how can I blame her? I don't either. This is awkward.
"Hey," I reply, and I let myself in, as it doesn't look like Elena is going to say, 'come on in!' "I'm… err… I hope you didn't cancel any of your plans just because of me." I find myself saying, it is Elena's birthday after all, but I don't add that on.
"No, it's f-fine, I haven't cancelled them, and I'm just heading there later. You… you want a drink?" Elena asked.
"I'll just have some water thanks." Weirdly, I feel calm, something obviously Elena isn't. The most thing that is really weird is the fact that I and Elena can't even act normal, or even act like sisters when we used to not only be sisters, but we used to be best friends. We were inseparable, where has that gone?
Elena turns around, sits across from me at the breakfast counter, gives me my drink which I thank, and now we are sat in complete and utter silence. None of us know what to say to each other, but I didn't come here for nothing. I need to know.
"Elena, we need to talk about this at some point. I didn't come here to sit in silence." I say.
Elena sighed,"I just don't know where to start…"
"Oh, well, that's easy, you can start by telling me why I basically do not exist in your life anymore." I snapped, I didn't mean to sound so harsh, but she wasn't exactly making this easy for me.
"It just… it just felt right." Elena said, she didn't add any explanation to that statement at all leaving me confused again, which really didn't help at all.
"Oh, I didn't realise us being sisters was wrong!" I rolled my eyes.
"No, no it's not like that." Elena replied, looking down.
"Then what is it like? Because I'm sat here waiting for a good explanation yet I got nothing so far."
"I was protecting you, I just… I just felt like I needed to. You wouldn't understand," Elena cut off, not finishing what she wanted to say.
"Try me," I said,"You can start by telling me what you think you were protecting me from." I really hope it isn't going to be what I think because if it is, I really am blind.
"It seems really stupid… but, there has just been so many animal attacks lately, I, I erm…I didn't want you to worry and come back just to find you have been attacked or, or, worse, dead, considering that most of the animal attacks happened to people who were travelling in or out-" Elena said, and tears filled her eyes, I felt pity but I also felt angry. She's still lying to me; they clearly were not animal attacks. They are vampire attacks, but does she know that? What about Bonnie and Caroline? Had they just agreed to all of this? This still doesn't really explain why she'd not tell anyone about me, shutting her own sister out! She must know about vampires. I have to find out…
"But this still doesn't exactly explain why no one knows about me. I mean, I get why not tell me, but why not tell people about me?" I asked her.
"I just didn't want all the questions, where are you, why you aren't here…" Elena said, finally looking up at me, "It felt like a good idea at the time, Jeremy and Jenna agreed that it was the best way to keep you safe. We were… we were doing this to protect you, I know it doesn't like that, but trust me, we were." Elena explained.
I bet you were, I thought. Thinking that I'm better off somewhere else where vampires are involved? I don't think so.
"I'm sorry," Elena says, she reaches for my hand and I let her hold it for a couple of minutes, I have missed her, after all, but I couldn't just forgive her so easily.
I pulled my hand away, "It's not going to be easy for me to just forgive you like that. I need time."
"I get it," Elena said,"I still have to tell Jeremy that you're back."
I stand up,"I better get going." I reach for something in my bag, it was a present from me to Elena,"Happy Birthday Elena. I hope you have a good one." I passed her the gift wrapped present and then I left…
#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD
Elena's POV
I feel like nothing has changed, that even when I and Bella have spoken, it doesn't change anything. I hated this and I wish things were different.
I opened the gift box that Bella gave me and there was a bracelet, with a few heart lockets engraved with pictures of me and Bella when we were children, and us older just before our parents died. I feel tears fall down my face. I have missed her, way too much. I just want things to be the same again before, well, everything. Life sucks.
I placed the bracelet on my wrist, took a deep breath and headed outside, into my car. I guess it's time to face the party, even though that's the last thing on my mind right now.

~ At the party ~
I enter the party, feeling okay. I need to tell Jeremy about Bella, but I can't see him anywhere.
"You're finally here!" Caroline says, standing in front of me.
I nod, "Have you seen Jeremy or Damon?"
"Nope. And Damon… think he might have gone upstairs, I'm not sure…" Caroline replied.
"Okay. Thanks Care," I said, walking away and going up the stairs. Caroline doesn't leave though, she only follows me.
"I kind of need some girly advice if you don't mind," Caroline started, "It's about well, Tyler and Matt-"
"I'm listening," I say as I head straight to Damon's room. It's big, but I search around anyway…
"Well, I… I think I really like Tyler, but, but, Matt he's just there all the time, looking all sad, and I feel bad for him, but I… Tyler." Caroline sighs and she stops talking.
I'm half listening to her and I'm half not, I'm looking for Damon when I come across…something.
"Oh my god!" I say, shocked.
"What? Am I that-" Caroline says, but stops when she sees what's in front of me, "What is this?"
"D-Damon's been tracking Klaus and Stefan… all this time." I stated. Now, I definitely was angry with him.
"I kind of thought that's what you were all doing," Caroline said dumbly from behind me.
"Yeah, we have but Damon's known everything all along! He's been tracking them without me, just, just when I thought we were going nowhere." I said.
"Oh. That's bad; he's been keeping secrets from you about Stefan, that's like, really bad." Caroline slurred, taking another sip of her vodka. Great, Caroline's getting drunk. Or she was drunk before but I didn't notice…
I took my cell phone out of my pocket and dialled Damon's number. I sigh, frustrated, when I get no answer.
I walk downstairs, my next aim to look for Jeremy.
#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT#TVD#TWILIGHT
Bella's POV
Okay, so I followed Elena. Kill me for feeling like something isn't right here. I needed to know if she were spending her time with vampires in order for me to know whether to leave or stay. I got out of my car, taking in the surroundings around me. The house was very big, obviously whoever lived here was either massively rich, or a vampire.
I walk over to the door, take in a deep breath and let myself in, the house is crowded with people, and there's music, it's Elena's party. Do I sense any vampires?
"Bella?" I turn around to the sound of my name, and there is Jeremy, "What, I didn't know you were back?"
I'm about to answer him when Elena's voice interrupts, "OH my god, did you follow me here?" I don't answer her, I just stare at her, and she seems so disappointed in me but she doesn't understand and won't ever understand.
All of a sudden I feel someone come behind me, it's all a surprise, I'm not expecting it as I feel someone's arms around my neck, and I feel like I'm choking, I'm dying. I'm finding it hard to breathe.
The person pins me against the wall beside the door, drawing attention, but he doesn't let me go from the grip he has around my throat.
"Damon! Stop!" Elena shouts from behind me.
Damon. Damon? I know that name from somewhere. I'm sure I do.
And then it comes to me. Damon Salvatore.
