Disclaimer: I do not own the Vampire Diaries. The characters and story belongs to the author. I own the other character Kira. The picture for this story is kinda how Kira Gilbert looks.

I redid the last chapter because it didn't make sense but I hope you like the changes I made.

Chapter 2: Looking in the Mirror and Screaming.

Kira

I had gotten dressed and went into the bathroom that was off my room and I screamed. In my life, aka the real world I had brown hair and blue eyes. Me in this reality though was completely different. I had red hair and green eyes. Jeremy called my name and I poked my head out of the bathroom.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Are you okay? I heard you scream. What's wrong?" Jeremy asked.

"Nothing. I'm fine just brushing my teeth." I said and smiled.

I grabbed my bag and tried to squeeze by Jeremy. He wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me against him. I bit my lip and looked up at him. He kissed me. I pulled away and ran away from him.

You've got to be kidding me. I get us being druggies together but doing stuff like that together. That can't happen again. Whatever we did while high won't happen again. It can't. I thought to myself.

I rushed past Elena and Jenna yelled at me.

"Where are you going so early Kira?" Jenna asked hands on her hips.

"I wanted to run to school. So I thought I would leave early. I promise I'm just going to school. I'll be home right after school to, I swear. I love you Aunt Jenna! Bye!" I said and ran out the door with my shoes in hand.

I didn't stop running until I was at Mystic Falls High School. I was panting and I was getting weird stares. I smiled and then realized that they knew me as one of the school junkies.

"Oh, well." I said.

I walked into the school building and into the office.

"Hi. Can I have a new copy of my schedule please? I like having one on hand just in case." I said and the office lady looked at me and then sighed.

"Of course. Kira this is the last time I do this. Understood?" The lady asked.

"Yes I understand thank you." I said.

I grabbed the paper and slid it in the front of my binder. I looked at my first class and sat down and put my shoes on.

"Kira!" Someone yelled and I looked up to see Elena and she was surprised.

"What Elena?" I asked confused.

"You're actually in class? Since when do you go to class?" Elena asked.

"Since now. I'm done skipping and I'm done getting high. So go yell at-" I said and realized that if Elena was the one to do that there would be trouble.

"You can yell at me later for trying to be a good student!" I said and ran to the boys bathroom.

Jeremy was in there and I scowled.

"What the hell are you doing Jeremy? We are at school. Your high and at school? Here take these." I said and thrust eye drops I had in my bag for me in his hand.

I stepped out of the bathroom and ran into someone. I looked up and sure enough saw Stefen Salvatore. I smiled and then he looked at the guys bathroom door and then at me.

"Sorry my older brother came to school kinda high. I was giving him eye drops. I'm Kira Gilbert. Nice to meet you. You are?" I asked.

"I'm Stefen Salvatore. I just moved into town. I want to know what your sister's name is." Stefen said.

"You leave Elena alone. She isn't Katherine Pierce. I see you anywhere near Elena I will expose that you and your brother Damon are vampires." I said.

Stefen looked at me like I had grown a second head.

"Oh and before you pursue Elena, handle Damon. He's in town." I said and walked away.

Caroline Forbes, Bonnie Bennett, and Elena were watching me like a hawk as I walked away from Stefen and towards class. When I stepped into my classroom though I felt dizzy and fell. I hit my head on the edge of the teachers desk before I blacked out.

When I came to I was in the hospital and my body was aching. I felt cold.

Jenna was by my bedside.

"Aunt Jenna?" I asked.

"Kira! Are you okay? I've been worried sick. Jeremy is worried to. The doctors told me your going through withdrawal and that it's so much worse because instead of weaning yourself you're going cold turkey. Is that true?" Jenna asked.

I felt tears.

"I'm sorry Aunt Jenna. I've been wanting to quit for a long time but I had Jeremy doing so I thought it was okay. I am so sorry." I said and felt tears stream down my face.

She bent down and hugged me.

"It's okay sweetie. The doctors and I will help you through this. I promise." Jenna said and I hugged her back.

"Thank you." I whispered and she left the room and let me sleep.
