A/N: Episode: 1x07 Haunted. For Emma costume picture Taylor Swift's Bad Blood outfit, the one with the leather jacket, and add a belt that holds two wooden stakes.

"I got your costumes!" Caroline said excitedly as she walk over to Emma and Bonnie. "They're all here." She hand them each their bag.

"Vampire slayer?" Emma said pulling out a wooden stake.

"Well it was either that or this really cute 1920s flapper dress, but I figure the vampire slayer was more edgy."

"Seriously Caroline?" Bonnie said holding up witch's hat.

"Come on." Caaroline said. "Can some please be excited that its halloween. I just wanna have some fun. Some silly, fluffy Damon free fun."

Bonnie found an amber necklace in the hat. "Didn't Damon give you this."

"Yep, wear it toss it I don't care." Caroline responded. "I just want it gone."

"Where's Elena?" Caroline changed the subject. "Do we know what she's wearing?"

"I was with Grams all weekend." Bonnie replied. "Haven't talked to her."

They turned to Emma who shrugged. "I rarely saw Elena this weekend."

"How? You live with her?" Caroline asked.

"She was with Stefan most of the time."

"Riding to his castle on his white horse?" Caroline said bitterly.

"Don't be bitter it provokes wrinkles." Bonnie said, receiving a sarcastic smile from Caroline.

Elena walked through the door, just as Emma and Elliot are about to leave.

"Vampire slayer?" Elena guessed eyeing the wooden stake.

"Caroline." They said her name like an explanation.

"You sure you don't want to come?" Emma asked as Elliot practically dragged her out the door.

"Maybe later. Have fun." Elena smiled which Emma returned before leaving.

"Elliot, why are you so anxious to get there?" Emma said.

"I'm meeting some one." He said a light blush covering his cheeks.

"Is it that girl you were telling me about a few weeks ago?"

"Maybe." Elliot said. "Are you meeting Matt?" He knew it would annoy her.

Emma groaned. "No, now please get in the car before we're late."

"Now who's anxious?"

"Shut up."

"Where did Caroline go?" Bonnie asked Emma.

"Don't know maybe she found someone hot enough to make out with."

"Hot enough to make out with?" Damon smiled approaching them. "I mean if you wanted to kiss you could've just asked." He winked at Emma. "The costume it works for you, Emma right?"

Emma nodded.

"Damon do yourself a favor and leave." Bonnie said.

Damon turned his attention to Bonnie. "Where'd you get that necklace?"

"A friend." She replied.

"Caroline. You know its mine, and I'd like it back."

"I'm not giving it to you. I can give it to Caroline and she can decide if she wants to give it back."

"Or I can just take it." Damon reach for the necklace but it burned it when he grabbed him.

Bonnie looked up shocked, and took off running. Damon grabbed Emma's wrist before she could take off as well.

"I wasn't lying about the costume. It looks nice on you." Damon said.

"Thanks." Emma replied sharply. "Now can you let me go."

"Hm, not yet." Damon said.

"I'll scream." Emma threatened. Damon forced her to look at him. "You won't scream." He told her. "You won't run. You won't fight." Emma stopped fighting, although she appeared reluctant.

"What are you doing to me?" Emma whispered.

Damon was taken back; she complied, but was aware of the compulsion. "Interesting." his eyes scanned for any type of jewelry that could hold vervain; there was none.

"Walk with him." He commanded.

They were walking along the edge of the party.

"Damon what are you doing to him? Why can't I run or talk louder than a whisper?" The panic was evident in Emma eyes.

"Calm down." A fake calm washed over her. "Now, you can't tell anyone whats about to happen."

Emma nodded, but she still held a deathly glare. "Fine."

"Good." Gingerly, Damon brought her wrist up to his mouth and bit. Emma was force to maintain calm, when she wanted to run away screaming. "If anyone asks, just tell its part of your costume a little fake blood, vampire hunter. Now go back to the party." Damon was gone in the blink of an eye.

Emma tentatively started to walk away before sprinting back to look for her friends.

Emma almost ran into Caroline. "Oh my god where have you been? I thought I saw you walking off with Damon."

"You weren't wrong." Emma said.

"Oh my god your wrist." Caroline saw the wound, even though the bleeding stopped, Emma's wrist, and jacket was still covered in blood.. "Did Damon do this?"

"It's fake blood." Emma couldn't stop herself from repeating what Damon had told her. "Part of the costume." Emma's voice started to break.

"Damon told you to say that." Caroline started to put the pieces together, recalling a vague memory of the thing Damon told her to do which she agreed to without complaint. "Em, its okay, I understand. Let's get you back home and clean up the blood."

Emma shook her head. "I have to stay and pick up Elliot."

"You sure?"

"You heard the girl." Caroline's eyes narrowed at the sound of his voice; Damon appeared behind her. Looking her in the eyes he told her "Emma's fine, you don't need to worry, I just startled her, right Emma?"

Emma force a smile. "Right Caroline, he just startled me. I mean he was the one who spilt the blood on me." Damon's head turned to Emma. "Caroline, everything's fine here. Why don't you go get yourself another drink."

"Okay. See you later then Emma." She said cheerfully.

Damon was at Emma side the moment Caroline turned around. "Look I have my own problems right now, Blondie. I don't need you creating another. Got it?"

Emma gave the small. "Go to hell." She told him.

Before Emma could take another breath he had her pinned again the near tree; he grabbed her by the neck and was holding her high enough that her feet barely reached the ground. "Look I'm not in the mood." Damon said. "Don't test me." He pulled her air to the side, and bite her neck. "Don't forget I can kill you before you are even aware what's happening. Got it?"

"Y-Yes." Emma stuttered.

"Good, now run a long you might want to clean up." Damon said wiping the remain blood from his face. "Also-"

"I know I can't tell anyone." She replied curtly.

"Good."

Elena kneeled by Vicki's dead body crying, even if she and Vicki were never on the best of terms, she meant a lot to Jeremy.

"You should go." Damon said. "I got this."

"You did this." Elena stood up. "This is your fault."

"You confuse me for someone with remorse." Damon said.

Elena shoved him."People die around you Damon."

"None of this matters to me. None of it."

Elena slapped him, even though he did not appear to be phased. "It matters and you know it."

Damon returned he stare. "You should go home see how your cousin's doing. Emma right?"

Elena shoved him once more. "Hm," Damon said. "You wounds are still bleeding, you should go."

Emma walked up the steps to the front door still unnerved from her encounter with Damon and dizzy from the lose of blood, that she failed to notice Stefan until he was at her side.

"Hey what happened?" He asked although he was afraid he already knew the response.

Emma shook her head. "I fell and then some guy spilt fake blood on me." Her programed response. "What are you doing here?"

"Elena asked me to pick up Jeremy." Stefan explained.

Emma cringed. "I forget, I have pick up Elliot." Stefan put his arm around her waist. "Not right now, you're not." He pick her up.

"Stefan." She protested. "I can walk."

"You bleeding and look like you're about to pass out." Stefan stated.

Emma groaned but did not argue as he carried her into the house.

Emma pressed the cloth to the wound on her neck while Stefan wiped the blood off her wrist revealing the bite mark, and jerked her arm away.

"Emma," Stefan said cautiously. "Do you know who did this to you?"

Emma nodded. "Yes."

Stefan leaned forward. "Really? Who was it?"

Emma closed her eyes. "I can't tell you." she said exasperated.

"What can you tell me?" Stefan asked.

"Tell you brother to go to hell." She told him.

The door opened before Stefan could ask any other questions. Elliot ran up to his room, and Elena ran to see if Emma was okay.

"I'm fine." Emma said although her voice was monotone. "I'm just going to head up to bed, okay? And thanks for bringing Elliot home."

"Okay." Elena replied. "No problem." She went to see Jeremy before walking outside with Stefan.

They sat on the on porch. "Is she going to be okay?" Elena asked.

"I don't know. I think she knows what happened, only Damon compelled her not to tell anyone."

"Just like Caroline." Elena mutter. "Then why doesn't Emma seem like she truly believes it?"

"I don't know, I think she realizes she's been compelled or that something is preventing her from telling the truth."

"How is that possible?"

"I don't know." Stefan answered. "Let get through tonight before we tackle another mystery okay?"

Elena sighed. "He's a mess. I don't want him to go through this again. He's just a kid."

"What can I do to help? I'll do anything." Stefan said.

"Can you make him forget?"

Stefan shook his head.

"Please." Elena begged. "I don't know how he'll ever get past this. I just want him to forget everything that happened."

"If I did it, there'd be no guarantee that it would work because of who I am, and how I live. I can't do it properly."

"I can do it." Damon said. "If that's what you want."

"Why should I trust you after what you did?" Elena said.

Damon sighed. "Okay, think of it as a way of my attempting to lessing the disaster which by boredom has cause."

Elena though it over then decided. "It's what I want."

Emma set her tooth brush back in the holder before walking out of the bathroom, almost running into Damon.

"Before you slap me," Damon said hold his hands up. "I want to say that you have every right to be mad at me, and what I did was stupid and impulsive."

Emma sighed. It was not an apology but it was probably the best she could get. "Okay. Just why are you here?"

Damon sighed not feeling like divulging his life story, which is what it would take to fully explain. "Ask your cousin, she'll give you a better explanation."

Within moment Damon had vanished, leaving her with some more question and no closer to the answers.
