"You okay?" Alex says as he hands a drink to me. We were walking to one of the rooms which were occupied only by a few number of people. Some were talking loudly about how safe it is in Mystic Falls and whatnot. I took a sip of the drink and felt its sour taste running down my throat. What is this? I asked myself. It must be wine. Red wine.

"Did you hear what I just said?" he asked. I blinked two or maybe three times to finally decipher what he was saying. I was thinking of what the Mikaelson boy said at the dance. Him calling me darling. I just wanted to know who left me the note and get this night over with. It was the reason I didn't change my mind about going.

"Sorry , it's just ..I'm not used to attending gatherings , even small ones." it was a believable reason because it was true but it wasn't the real one. So technically , I lied. "What I was asking was If you're okay…or do you want me to take you home?" he said. I shook my head , I'm saying no to both of those. I'm not okay and I don't want to go home. Well at least not yet.

I consumed half of my glass and place it on one of many tables inside the room. "I'm going to get some fresh air, I feel kind of dizzy. " I wasn't feeling dizzy in any way , I just wanted time to think on my own. "Do you want me to take you home? And please don't tell me you're drunk , your mom is going to kill me ,plus you haven't even finished your drink yet , and it's only wine." he pointed to the half empty glass standing on the table. " I'm not , I promise. And it's okay if you don't come with me , I feel better when I'm alone. Sometimes" I added the last part to make him not feel bad. He nodded and I smiled as I walked pass him heading for the door.

I stood outside shivering , the wind making contact with my uncovered skin. I should have brought a cloak I thought to myself. I breathe deeply taking notice of my surroundings. To my right were trees leading to the woods. It was horrifyingly dark , even the moon that was shining so bright could not bring a little light to it.

The wind blew vigorously making me place each of my hands to the opposite of my shoulders. Everything around me screams I should get back inside. Thinking about the note behind the invitation does make me a little groggy , I should probably get back inside.

Unanticipatedly a sound came from the terrace , a grunting noise. Being the curious girl I am moved backwards and tilted my head upwards to see who made the noise. I saw two heads , they were facing each other , one was familiar. It was Kol.

Just as I was about to loose interest Kol came crashing to the ground. He was lying there a few feet away from me . Adrenaline rushed through me , but instead of running towards him I ran towards the nearest tree and hid behind it. It was like deja vu although I don't remember it happening before.

I took a peek and saw a guy sitting above him , the same guy that was just standing in the terrace seconds ago. Did he jump? If he did he should be dead. But if he didn't, how did he get down so fast?

Kol was still moving ,he was alive. The man sitting above him placed his hand just under Kol's chin where his neck starts , he twisted it so hard that I heard Kol's neck snap. I gasp came out of my mouth and I covered it with my hand. Kol's dead. I've seen it in movies but I never thought that it was possible to kill someone that easily. I faced towards the dark not wanting the man to see me. Lucky for me the tree was thick enough to hide my dress.

Not even a second passed ,I heard the door open and someone's voice shouting "Damon!" and I couldn't help but look again. It was Stefan Salvatore , " Are you crazy?" he said more calmly than a normal person would. Footsteps followed and I saw the rest of the Mikaelsons followed by a running Elena. "Maybe a little. Far be it for me to cause a problem." Damon retorted walking away. I heard my heart race faster , what just happened was beyond ordinary. It looked like they didn't even care, the Mikaelsons just stood there looking at their lifeless brother.

"What are you doing?" I almost jumped , startled by the voice . I inhaled deeply as I started thinking of an alibi to say , I turned around "I just…." I was too bewildered to continue. Damon who was walking away from the house just a few seconds ago was standing in front of me. How?

"Listen, what you saw or heard wasn't real. Forget about it." I was looking right into his eyes and his pupils started to dilate "You're not going to remember anything after this .When I leave, you're gonna go back inside and do whatever the hell you teenagers do. All you're going to remember is that you went outside to get fresh air. " he continued and so did the dilating of his pupils. I didn't know what he was trying to do. Was he trying to hypnotize me? If he was it wasn't working.

I wanted to scream for help but then I remembered what he just did, how easy he killed Kol. I had to pretend to make him believe that what he did worked. I nodded looking him in the eyes to make it look real ,he left. Then I started walking.

I felt a tingling sensation down my spine as I passed Kol's dead body. Just a little bit further I told myself. I just have to walk past these people and then I'm out. I felt eyes watch my every move as I walked towards the door where the Mikaelsons were. I slowed down my phase and straightened my posture to make it look more believable.

When I entered the house for the second time I was relieved to see Alex ,that means I could act normal now. I smiled and waved at him as I staggered through the increasing number of people in the room. He went towards me , the smile on his face slowly turning into a straight line.

"You okay now?" he was worried , no doubt.

"Actually , I want to go home. Now."
