I know it's been ages but there's been family issues going on and I was panicking about the exams and when I found out that I failed them, I had a mental breakdown… so im going to repeat them next year and hope I do better! SO SORRY! If there's still anyone out there – here's chapter 4!

Damon and Tori strolled casually into the Mystic Grill and slid into the booth seats beside Elena, Matt, Bonnie and Caroline. "Hey Damon," Said Elena, smiling at him, "Who's this?" She motioned her hand at Tori and Damon's face lit up at her enthusiasm.

"Guys, this is my little sister Tori," He announced and squeezed her gently. Everyone around the table almost fainted with shock. Damon has a sister? Caroline closed Matt's gaping mouth and pouted, deep in thought. No one knew how to react to the news but Bonnie eventually broke the silence.

"Nice to meet you, Tori. I'm Bonnie the town's witch," She said smiling brightly at the black-haired, blue-eyed girl across from her. Tori shook her hand carefully, never once taking her eyes of Bonnie who had just admitted so freely that she was of supernatural descent.

"Oh," Elena gasped, "You're a vampire?" She whispered to her. Wow this girl was catching on fast, she thought to herself. Tori nodded in surprise and Damon winked at her reassuringly. "You look so much like Damon!" She almost shouted, causing Tori's ears to buzz as she was sitting directly beside her.

"Damon never said anything about a third sibling, then again neither did Stefan…" Caroline piped in, frowning at Damon, then at Tori and back again. She was awaiting a huge explanation of why Tori was never mentioned in any conversation, but the subject had never really came up. How were they meant to know that there was another Salvatore, there was no photo's in the Boarding house so they couldn't even assume.

Tori grabbed Damon's hand under the table for support and quietly told the group the story of how her friend Savannah had predicted her death and then her death at the hands of Katherine. But when it came to the part about the coffin, she couldn't go on and nudged Damon gently so he finished. "I never thought I'd see her again, since I thought she was dead and all…" Damon said sadly, causing Tori to tighten her grip on his shaking hand.

"That's horrible," Elena said, shock and pain etched lines in her forehead as she thought of how awful it must have been for Damon and Stefan to live without their beloved sister for so long. She knew that if Jeremy was taken from her, she would probably lose the will to live. She smiled weakly at Damon and slipped her hand into unoccupied one, holding it softly, comforting him.

Damon looked at the girls on either side of him, one girl his sibling, the other his dark princess – the two girls he couldn't lose ever. It would destroy him. Caroline stood up abruptly, dragging Matt with her, "Me and Matt have to go, it's Tyler's transformation tonight." She said and bit her lip, she really hated seeing Tyler in so much pain and Tyler hated having her near him when it was the full moon because one bite from a werewolf could kill a vampire. He didn't like taking that risk with her, but she refused to leave so he had Matt standing guard with a rifle and tranquilizing darts just in case.

Everyone nodded in understanding, including Tori and they left quickly, pushing past a couple of drunks to make their exit. "I need to go too, I guess." Said Bonnie, "Need to do some enchantments to stop Tyler from getting in my house if he does break loose," She explained. She grabbed her bag and phone from the table and nodded her head at Tori and Damon before standing.

"Can you do my house too Bonnie?" Elena asked her friend. Bonnie nodded again and Elena stood up with her, "We should meet up again soon." She said and smiled politely at Tori before making her way past the drunks with Bonnie.

"We should go too," Damon said and pulled Tori to her feet, "It's getting late and I don't trust that werewolf." They left the Grill and made their way home, arm in arm.

When they arrived and had entered the Boarding House there was a loud SMASH! Followed by a dull thumping sound, like someone falling down the stairs. "Who's there?" Damon shouted, pushing Tori behind him protectively. She whimpered and gripped the back of his leather jacket, she was scared. Stefan suddenly appeared, seeming to be running away from something. His face was bloodied and full of horror as he ran towards Damon and Tori.

"Run!" He shouted, his voice screechy and full of terror. He tried to open the front door frantically but jumped back, his hand scorched. "It's vervain!"

Damon turned to the door and placed his face near it, it faintly smelled of vervain, What the hell? "Who's there?" He shouted, facing the door as thought it would answer.

His only reply was a scream of pure panic leaving Tori's mouth behind him.
