Hey guys! I prorably won't be updating for a while because I have school, but I will try my best!
Thanks to grapefruit101 for your review!

I woke up, and immediately wanted nothing more than to go right back into the blissful sleep I had just left. Elena was in bed with me. I smiled. I feel like I have my sister back.

Then I remembered Damon.

Damon. I never want to see the Mother Trucker again.

And then the sorrow of loosing Mr. Tanner washed over me. I frowned. Now all I could think of was his face right before he died. It was like loosing a family member.

Elena and I went downstairs, she wearing a blue tank top and jeans, and me wearing a floral printed skirt and a matching hot pink tank top with hot pink ballet flats. Maybe I could look happier then I felt.

"Scum Ball... Scum Bucket..." I couldn't really care less about whatever Aunt Jenna was ranting about right not, almost as little as I couldn't care less what anyone was doing right now. I was depressed.

"Who are you talking to?" Elena asked.

"Him." Aunt Jenna said, as if it was common sense.

"The news guy?"
"Also know as Logan Scumfell."

"Did your mom ever tell you why I moved away from mystic falls?"

Uh... no? I was probably with my dad for this conversation.

"Ohhhh no way! You and him?" Elena stated in disbelief. Then gave him a second look."He's Cute."

"He is not cute. There is nothing cute about him." Jenna said, and shortly after, she turned the T.V.

They went off about the things that Elena was polishing. Something about Ms. Lockwood and the founders. I really wasn't paying attention. I was staring out the window, thinking about Mr. Tanner.

I made a decision. I excused myself and walked back upstairs, leaving Elena to have to tell Jenna about the reason for my closed-off attitude.

I walked upstairs to Jeremy's room and opened the door, not even bothering to knock. I sat on his bed and slipped the family ring off of my finger.

"Jeremy. Wake up Jer." He groaned and turned towards me,

"What Nity?" He said bitterly.

"I want you to have this." I handed him the ring that my father had given me in his will. "It is suppose to be warn by the men of the Gilbert family. Dad gave it to me a while ago." This got him awake. He took the ring in his hands and twirled it around. "Jeremy, I have something to tell you.." And I did. I told him about Dad and I's conversations, and and about Vampires, and about the rings, and about stakes, and vervain, and everything. I told him everything.

"So Vampires can't walk in the sunlight?"

"Not with out special rings." I clarified.

"Oh and, Jeremy? Don't tell Elena." I stated.

He nodded his head. He understood the importance of it all.

"Your taking it well." He looked around for a second.

"Yeah. I guess I am. How did you take it?" I thought back.

"I took it well... I understood the magnitude of what he was telling me."

I sighed, "better go join the world." I muttered under my breathe.

He stopped me, "Wait! Shouldn't you give me a stake or something to protect my self?"

"No Jer. I didn't tell you this so you can go all Vampire Hunter on everyone. I told you this because you needed to know. Don't worry about protection. That's my job." I smirked. He went downstairs first.

Even after my sharing of information with Jeremy, I was still out of it. I decided that I would go on a run, something I hadn't done fully since I lost half of my family. Sure I had run to the grille, or to school, but this was different. I got on my sneakers and put on some running shorts and a sports bra.

I walked in on Elena and Stefan talking.

"How do you look in a suite?" Elena questioned.

"I can pull one off." He stated with a smile.

"How about tomorrow night? Will you be my date to the founders party?"

Oh. I forgot about that. I was going to ask Damon to go with me.

Well that's not happening.

I sat down on the bed next to Elena.

"They still do that?"

"Have you been before?"

"No the... Salvatores don't get invited... anymore."

"Well this year there is this heritage project that meant a lot to my mom. She was really involved in the founder's Council. It was her favorite party- I know it sounds really boring but-"

"I would be honored to accompany you, Miss Gilbert." He teased.

"The pleasure would be all mine, Mr. Salvatore." She teased right back.

I got a text message on my phone that I had left in Elena's room.

Damon- You going to the founder's party?

"I'm going for a run." I told Elena as I walked down stairs, and left my phone under my bed. I didn't want to even look at that name for a good lifetime.

Damon's point of view:

I had just texted her, and I was praying that she texted back. I wanted her forgiveness more than anything right now.

Damon- yellow or blue?

She still didn't respond.

Caroline had just turned around and I rejected the yellow.

"Go for the blue."

"But I don't like the blue."

"Well I do."

"And if I'm going to be your date-"

"You cannot be my date. My mother is going to be there."

"I went through a lot of trouble to make sure this party wasn't canceled. It's very important I be there."

I looked into her eyes, and compelled her, "Please take me with you."

Destiny's point of view:

I answered the door, and almost immediately went to close it. He put his foot in the door way. I could see that his jaw was bruised where I had socked him, and his nose had a bandage over it.

"I'm here for my mom. Suppose to pick up a box of stuff."

"It's right here!" My twin came rushing down the hall and placed it in Tyler's hands.

"Please be careful."

"Yeah be careful with it dick." I said

"Not now, Nity." Elena scolded.

I glared at him one last time before slamming the door in his face.

I finished lacing up my shoes and grabbed my Ipod. Immediately playing was Brighter Then the Sun by Colbie Calliat. I ran full on, remembering how wonderful it had been to run, and feel the wind on your face. I had stopped because it was something that my Dad who had run with me, and encouraged me to start races. I was pretty good, I started finishing in the top 3. Then I never went to a race and came out with anything but 1st. I was ranked in the state. Then that all ended when my parents drove off Wickery Bridge.

I had run for about 20 minuted now and I guessed that I was up to 4 miles. I turned and realized where I was. Silently cursing my self, I ran faster than I had ever before. I wanted that house out of view, and behind me. Because residing in it was the Monster who had killed my Best friend.

I made a spur of the moment decision. I ran into town and stopped in front of a Dojo-Styled building. I sighed and walked in.

Master Lexon was teaching a group of students about my age in the front. Once he saw me he smiled a goofy grin, and instructed his student to do 20 reps. Groans could be heard throughout the DoJo. I smiled as he walked over to me. He was six feet and two inches, and in his forties. I did the traditional bow with my hands clasped together in front of me.

He clapped me on the back and asked, "Is our champion back?"

I laughed and sighed. "I need something to take my mind off of things." He nodded. "We were just about to start the 'ring'. Stretch and then join us." I smiled and walked to the side of the wall. I began stretching my legs, and then my core, and I moved onto every muscle in my body. I normally didn't do 'group' lessons. My dad had me do only private tutorship, and after a year I was extremely skilled. But I had no idea how I compared to others. I hadn't fought in a while lately with the technique, so I would be rusty. After I was done stretching I began practicing some of the forms that I remembered, which thanks to my ability to remember everything that I heard, was pretty easy. That was how I knew all those dates in History, and school things.

Once I deemed myself prepared I joined my Master on the border of what is called the 'ring'. It is duck tape put in a circle and that was the area where you face your opponent.

The two boys in front of me were currently wrestling on the floor. I noticed that there were few girls, if any in the dojo. Most girls were probably here for self defense reasons.

"Go for the ribs..." I commented under my breathe. Master Lexon grinned next to me. He knew I was right. When the boy failed to go for the ribs, He was pinned down due to the lack of proper placed offense.

"Go in." Master Lexon pushed on my back. I would say that I was nervous, but I wasn't. This is what I do. Other than running, this is what I was best at. And facing the muscled man in front of me, I could immediately point out his weak spots.

I went into my mode.

We bowed ceremoniously to each other, and then took fighting stances.

"Begin." Lexon said calmly.

I could tell that the boy would go easy on me since I was girl. Which was a crucial mistake on his part. But I counted on that. People underestimated me, giving me the upper hand.

Within two seconds after our master had instructed to begin, I had the boy pinned. I had knocked the feet out from under him, and had him pinned face down, with his arm behind his back.

I had won.

Complete silence over took the room. I got up, and offered my hand to the boy on the floor. He took it and looked at me awed.

"Next." Master Lexon said.

A man more muscled then the one before stepped in, looking cocky. I knew that he wouldn't take it easy on me as the last one. He cracked his knuckles and I had to keep myself from rolling my eyes at his motion. Did he think that would intimidate me?

We started and he through a punch towards my chest which I dodged. Taking his arm by the biceps, and spun, flipping him over with the shift of my weight. He was on his back with the wind knocked out of him. And I pinned him just like the last one. Feeling good I got up and bowed to Master Lexon, who returned it, and walked out the door, leaving an entire class of my peers staring in disbelief behind me.

Damon's Point of view:

I had followed her as she ran past the house. I stayed in the shadows and watched her go into the building. I raised an eyebrow and watched from the window. She stretched for a while, and then went to a fighting ring in the center.

No! She is gonna get herself beat up! Why was she being stupid?

But apparently she could handle herself. She took down a man twice her size in seconds. A second man, bigger than the last came up next. My eyes widened. She took down this man as well. Then she turned and bowed to who I assume was the one in charge, and he returned it. She turned towards the door and walked out.

What the hell?

When did she get those moves?

I mean she had me pinned the day that I came here, but that was right after my brother had tackled me out of a window. I watched as she continued her run, and plugged in her headphones like nothing had happened.

Destiny's point of view:

I was going to go to Vicki's house soon so that we could get ready for the Founder's party.

"Delicate flower or Naughty Vixen?" Bonnie held up each nail polish in turn.

"I'll go look for some more Upstairs. Okay guys?" They each nodded. I could tell that Bonnie wanted to talk about something, and I was not to know.

I came back dow stairs with a light pink, hot pink, greens, blues, silver nail polishes. They were obviously deep in conversation when I walked in. I placed them all in a line on the table.

I went upstairs to find Jeremy and I took off my locket. I held it in the palm of my hand for a moment. It had been soaked in vervain, so it made to wearer safe from compulsion.

I walked into Jeremy's room and he had his headphones on. I knew that he was mad at Elena for taking his pocket watch, so I tapped him on the shoulder and handed the necklace to him.

"What's this for?"

"It is a promise that you will get your pocket watch back. And protection. It has been soaked in vervain, so until I can get more to soak something of yours, you will have to carry that around." He nodded.

"Can I open it?"

"Jeremy. No one has ever been allowed to look inside my locket. I just changed the picture anyway."

"Is that a no?" I rolled my eyes. I had never allowed anyone to look in my locket before. Not even my dad. I put pictures of the people that mean the most to me in there. I could only pray that he wouldn't open it when I was gone. Oh well. I have to protect him, so this was the price I would pay. I was going to spike my siblings drinks with the vervain, but I realized that Dad's stash was out. I walked out of the room.

Jeremy's Point of view:

As soon as the door closed, I had opened the locket.

On one side was a picture of the family. It was Dad's birthday, and Elena was jumping up and down, blurring that part of the photo, I was beaming at my dad who was about to blow out his candles. Mom was standing to the side, smiling at all of us. Nity must have been taking the photo with the camera that she had gotten when her and Dad went out. I was always jealous when they did that, because every time they got back, they seemed closer. Of course when they were home, Nity would play with him, and his dad would join in occasionally. While we played, Nity would tell me about the people they saw, they shops they went into, the things they did. I would smile. That was my favorite thing, to listen to my sister talk about happy things, about Dad, and about life.

On the other side was a man that I had started to frequently see around here. Damon Salvatore.

Destiny's Point of view:

I went to Vicki's house. I still had to get a dress, but she made me wait for her, so that we could go together. I had all of my savings up and ready for this.

As I walked in the door, Vicki crashed into me with a hug. I smiled and returned it.

"HEY NITY!" She screamed. I laughed and screamed just as loud, if not louder.

"HEY VICKI!"

"God! Really?" Matt came out of his room with his hands over his ears. Vicki and I started cracking up at his expression. Once the laugh attack passed, we went on to the shops. It felt good being with Vicki, I could forget about everything Supernatural, my life, and a certain irritating vampire.

We talked as we walked through the town, looking for a good dress shop. We talked about her, Tyler, and Jeremy. She told me that she was going with him to the founder's party. I frowned.

"You know I hate him."

"Yeah,"She chuckled,"You made that pretty clear when you beat him up."

I laughed with her. Finally we came to a dress shop. As we walked around the small store I started to tell her about Damon. Leaving out that he killed Mr. Tanner and that he was a vampire. I told him about how he disappointed me, and how sad I was that he made this decision. I didn't go into detail about this choice, but I also included that he was in love with another girl. After giving me a look, I saw mischief creep into her eyes.

"Challenge accepted. We are going to show Damon what he is missing. And make him feel bad for being an ass." I looked at her.

"I won't take no for a answer. Tell me how he reacts tomorrow." She said.

I sighed giving in. there was no use in arguing with her. So it started. We shopped for her dress first, choosing a light green one. And the we spent an hour choosing the perfect dress. I convinced her to pick nothing to short, or to tight. We agreed on a pink color, to complement my complexion and hair color. We chose a really nice light pink, short strapless dress. We paid and went home.

"Okay... Im going to go with a gold color for your eyeliner. And... a light pink for the eyeshadow."

I nodded. I almost never wear make up, but since we were on a mission, why not go all in?

After straightening both of our hair, and then re-curling mine to be set into soft ringlets. She smiled proudly at her work, and after looking in the mirror, I had to admit, I looked good.

"Oh! Wait! Lip gloss!" I rolled my eyes as she took out a light pink tube of lip gloss, and spread it on my lips. Then she seemed to notice that I didn't have my locket on.

"Where is your locket?" She asked curiously.

"I figured that it wouldn't match my dress." Well. It wasn't a total lie.

She nodded as she looked in her jewelry box for accessories. She pulled out a jumble of gold chains and rapped then around my neck, each necklace a different layer. I put on a pair of gold flats that I got from my house, and completed the look with some bangles around my wrist.

I texted Elena:

Nity- What are you wearing?

Elena- red/orangey dress. You?

Nity- You'll have 2 wait and find out... XD

Elena- Grrrrr...

I turned to Vicki. "Let's go."

We were waiting in line and tyler came up to us. Telling us that the line was to long.

Mmhhmm.

We went in the back way.

Damon's Point of View:

I searched through the line to spot Desi, but I couldn't find here.

Dammit.

Caroline greeted Ms. Lockwood.

"You look smashing."

"Thank-you Ms. Lockwood!" She turned to me, "This is uhh my boyfriends Damon."

"Oh. Well, come on in."

"Lovely to meet you, I have been looking fore ward to this party for... quite a while." I said.

"Well , enjoy." She said as she walked away.

"Let's get a drink." I said to Caroline. She was looking at a older women with the same blond hair as her, but cut short to a pixy cut.

"Wait here." She said and then she turned around.

I saw Stefan walk in with Elena.

Where was Destiny? Now I was getting frustrated.

As it turned to night I was getting the idea that she might not a have come.

I walked up to Elena,"Is your sister here?"

She turned around startled. "Oh. Yeah, she was on the dance floor last time I saw her. She looks really nice tonight." I nodded and made my way to the dance floor But Elena caught my arm. "She is really upset about the whole Mr. Tanner thing. Be careful." I nodded. Was she really that upset? She must have been avoiding me. I hadn't really taken the whole 'off limits' thing seriously, and I still don't now. But I continued none the less to the dance floor. That's when I saw her.

Her hair was perfectly curled, and she was standing next to the dance floor with talking with someone, smiling. She was wearing a beautiful pink strapless dress that hung at her curves perfectly. I was gawking. I saw her eyes, they were mostly green, but towards the center they were more a blue color, and then at the very middle, was a deep red color. They were wonders in them selves. Then she turned and saw me staring. I quickly smirked and did my 'eye thing' as she called it. In that moment her eyes went completely red, only a touch of blue of the inside. She glared at me and walked away.

She had told me about how her eyes turned red when she was mad, even told me stories about those who had received the angry stare. But I never thought that I would be on the other end of the blood read glare.

She didn't walk off actually, she walked in. Right in to the mob of the Dance floor. I saw her begin to dance with Matt. I felt something boil up inside of me. How dare he dance with her? She was mine. No one else can dance with her.

I stalked into the crowd and pulled on her arm.

"Come on." I said.

"Don't. Touch. Me." She said. Emphasizing each word.

"Come on. We need to talk."

"Fuck you." She pushed me away and went back to dancing with Matt.

I got angry. Did she just blow me off to dance with Matt? What the hell?

I yanked her this time, not waiting for a response. Once we were out of the mob, I looked int her eyes, but before I could say anything, she slapped me across the face. Hard.

"What the hell?! I don't want to talk to you! I don't want to see you! I don't want to even think about you! You killed my best friend! You killed him! I will never forgive you."

That one stung. I noticed that she wasn't wearing her locket. I almost cried with joy. I stared into her eyes, "Forget that I killed Mr. Tanner, he was attacked by an animal. I'm still your best friend." I smirked, but it wore off when instead of hugging me as her best friend, she looked madder. Her eyes deepened in color.

"WERE YOU TRYING TO COMPELL ME?!" She shouted. Thank god for the loud music of the dance. "No good, piece of s***! I thought we were friends! You little ba******! You mother f***ing B****!" She ranted on. How did this not work? She had no vervain on her! Now I was confused.

I pulled her along with me as she shouted obscenities. We met up with Stefan and Elena, now that we were alone in the room, I suppose that she could retaliate now, since all she could with a crowd was tug opposite the way that I was pulling her as she continued cursing me out. But all that she did was tug more.

"Stefan can we have a private conversation?" Elena took a hint and excused herself. Once she was out of sight, Destiny did retaliate. She did a cartwheel while still holding onto my hand, breaking it from my arm. And went to stand by Stefan. She glared at me as I snapped my wrist back into place. That hurt.

"Stefan, Dance with me?" Stefan nodded, still shocked at her eye color, and her move with my arm.

She walked off with him on her arm.

God! What was this feeling in my stomach? It bursted inside of me as I walked back out to see Stefan and her dancing.

This reminded me of the feeling when I saw Stefan dancing with Katherine. Was this... Jealousy? Could it be? Did I care for her? Yes. I did. I told her all of my secrets, and her to me.

Then I realized how much I had screwed up. I cared for her, and what did I do? I killed one of her best friends.

I am a douche.

I just stood there and watched them dance. Watched as the color in her eyes turn from a full red, to only red around the out side, with green replacing it's middle. That means that she was happy. Happy. With my brother. I would not allow my self to watch this any longer.

I went and got a drink. And decided that to get on Desi's good side, I had to apologize to Elena for trying to kiss her.

I watched with Caroline as Destiny and Stefan danced. He twirled her around, and Elena came in. Elena and Stefan went and talked about Katherine.

Destiny had gone and sat down. But when Elena and Stefan started arguing about secrets, she stood up to go and help her sister. But by the time she had got there, Elena had stalked off. Destiny turned to Stefan and said, "Remember what I said. But give her time. She doesn't like secrets... at all." he nodded. Then it seemed that she made a choice, because she sighed and turned toward me. I stared at her as she walked over to me, and wrapped her arms around me.

"Am I …. forgiven?"

"No even close. But I decided that only one Gilbert twin would go home upset today." She gave me a small smile and walked off.

Elena came up to me and warned me to stay away from Caroline. In all honesty I wasn't really paying attention. I was only holding onto the fact that I was forgiven. But then her words sunk in and I went to Caroline. Time to tie up loose ends.

I went and talked to Caroline. She said that she got 'flustered' when Elena had questioned her about the bite marks. I moved around her, touching her stomach, and stopped right behind her. After I told her I had forgiven her, I whispered, "But I am so over you." I bit into her neck. A burning sensation came with the blood. It was excruciating.

Vervain.

I fell to my back , and the last thing I saw was the figure of my brother coming towards me.

I have no idea why I said what I said next, but it came out anyway.

"Desi."

Hope that you guys liked it! Review please!
