Kol found her laying in a field of grass, surrounded by a forest of tall green trees. It was cool and breezy outside.
"Now why are you out here when it's this cold outside?" Kol yelled at Sarah, from accross the field.
"You know I love the outdoors Kol!" She responded with her sweet voice.
"You are going to get sick." Kol said walking closer to her. He loved how free she was. Kol didn't want her to be trapped in her families curse.
"Hey, I never get sick. It's no fun, so I do so it." She said in a mocking tone.
"It's not a choice silly."
Sarah stood up, twirled around, and let her dress flair up. Kol couldn't help but smile. Sarah stopped to face him. "You know you're very odd. You're always popping up out of nowhere, pulling out of fights when you have no reason to..."
"I can say the same for you." Kol smiled at her curiosity.
"Come on, Kol, you're hiding something. I'm your friend, you can tell me." Sarah said compassionately.
"Go home Sarah. And I mean straight home. Do not pick a fight with anyone." He had gotten her off the vervain she was on and compelled her to go straight home.
"Okay, fine, but I will find out eventually. You know I never give up."
...
"So, what happened? Do you know what happened to her after you got staked? Did she become a werewolf?"
"So many questions, but for now we've got to go." Kol and Tori stood up.
"Wait, aren't you going to finish the story?"
Kol opened the passenger side door and motioned for her to go inside. "Of course I will, eventually, but not now. I want to be dramatic."
Tori stepped inside the car disappointed. "Well you don't need a story to be dramatic."
...
Elena woke up in Damon's arms, remembering what had happened last night. She smiled remembering Damon holding her so close to him. How it felt like then have been waiting forever for that moment. Elena didn't want it to end.
"Goodmorning." Damon said startling Elena.
"Oh you're awake." Elena looked up at him with his sexy bed hair.
"Are you okay?" Damon was concerned that she would regret what they did last night.
"I don't regret last night if that's whats you're asking?" Elena felt great, like a big weight was lifted off her shoulder. "I love you, Damon."
"I've always loved you, Elena." Then there was a knock at Damon's bedroom door. "Who is it?" Damon said in a playful mood.
"It's Stefan. Klaus called and he wants to meet."
Elena immediately stood up and started getting dressed. "What are you doing?" Damon asked feeling sad when Elena left his arms.
"Um, Stefan and I just broke up, I don't think we should shove... us in his face. I'm gonna stop by The Grill to meet Caroline and Bonnie." Damon smiled. He has her now. Not that it was a competition, but it sure feels like he won. Won her heart.
Elena slowly opened Damon's bedroom door, knowing that Stefan was still there. There was no other way out so she just had to face him.
Stefan just brushed by her to get to Damon. He was giving Elena the cold shoulder. She let out a small sigh and just left. Caroline and Bonnie wanted to see if Elena was okay, so she invited them to meet her at the Grill.
...
Kol and Tori were on there way back to Mystic Falls. The drive was silent. Tori was trying to figure out Kol. He has been hiding so much for so long, and she wanted to find out all of it.
"Help me." Tori said desperately.
Kol got worried. "
What? What's wrong?"
"Tell me the whole story. Help me understand why this is such a big deal."
Kol was resisting telling Tori everything, but he knows that she won't leave him alone until she knows everything, and he couldn't lie about this.
"Alright Sarah, no fighting tonight. Let's just have a have drink." Kol was worried that Sarah would eventually get into a fight he couldn't pull her out of.
"No promises, Kol. People make me angry sometimes, I can't help it." Sarah smiled at him. She loved how he cared for her, although he would never admit it.
Kol and Sarah sat down at a table in the corner of the place. "Kol, you've never told me where you came from. All you've said was that you move around a lot." Sarah didn't know much about Kol's past, but Kol knew all about her.
"Well, you never asked." Kol wasn't sure what to do. He wants to tell her about him, and vampires, but she deserve to be involved in his drama. Kol wished that he could just take her away with him, but then how could he keep vampires a secret when he's running from one.
"I'm asking now." She looked him straight in the eyes. He could say no to her.
"Okay, fine. I have three older brothers and a younger sister. I had two other siblings, but they died along time ago."
"I'm sorry." 'There was a reason he didn't like to talk about himself.' Sarah thought. "Where is your family now?"
"I have no idea, and frankly I don't care. My mother's dead and my father's mad. When my mother died, all of siblings and I separated. One of brothers has been searching for each of us since then."
"To bring your family back together?"
"No. Niklaus wanted to punish us for leaving him, let's put it that way. This is why I move around so much."
Sarah's face went down. She knew Kol would have to leave eventually. "When are you leaving here?"
"I don't know if I'm leaving, though I should be gone already."
"Why haven't you left?"
"After arriving, there are some things here that I need to take care of before I leave."
"What? This town is way to ordinary."
Kol leans in close to her. "Far from it."
"So, who was Sarah, exactly?" Tori asked curiously.
"Sarafina Scott. She was that kind of person who always had wisdom, but was the funnest person in the world. She would cheer you up when something went wrong, and then behind your back she would go and fix it. I've never met a person like in my life, and I've I have been around a long time." Then he pulled his watch out of his pocket. He opened it to reveal a picture of a women. "This is her."
"Wow, she's beautiful. I haven't seen you open up this much before." Tori was in shock of how open he was being, unless it was all crap.
"This is how I was with her. It feels nice to think of myself that way."
"Then why aren't you always like this?"
"Because when I'm like this, everything I care about just dies. Which is why I don't like to care, and also why you should go with Elena. You'll be fine with her. Safer than with me, now that I think about it.""
I'll be fine with you in the mansion." And then the truth hit her. "Oh my god! Sarah died? How?"
"She didn't, but she almost did. When Klaus came to find me, I was going to visit her. Sarah lived with her parents. It was the first time I was meeting them, but when I got there, I just walked in, without an invitation. Her parents were dead, and Klaus was standing there waiting for me. I got lucky that Sarah wasn't there. I assume that after Klaus staked me he just left. I hope Sarah lived her live, also without triggering the werewolf curse, but I will always feel guilty for being responsible for her parents death. It must have killed her to lose everything in one night."
"How did Klaus know you were at Sarah's house?"
"It's Klaus. I think that answers your question."
It didn't. Something didn't add up about the ending. Tori was going to find out.
...
At The Grill, Caroline, Bonnie, and Elena were sitting down eating lunch. "Elena, have you been okay, considering everything." Bonnie finally said.
Elena sighed. She didn't want to think about it. "Well, it's a lot, and it sucks that she won't cooperate. I don't know if she's been compelled or she's just being stubborn."
"Well, it could be either one. We all know that stubbornness is a family trait." Caroline said trying to lighten the mood.
Elena and Bonnie smiled. "Where is she now?" Bonnie asked curiously.
"I don't know. Klaus said that Kol took her somewhere, but that she's fine. It makes no sense. Kol is just a wild card." Elena began to feel frustrated all over again. "Enough about me. How are you and Tyler, Caroline?"
"Well, um, we are kind of taking a break." Caroline tried to say with a smile.
"Why! What happened?" Bonnie asked concerned.
"Little Miss. Appilations is what happened. A girl Tyler met when he went to break his sire bond, just showed up. I don't need to be physic to know what happened there. When she saw me, she was so surprised to find out that Tyler had a girlfriend." Caroline's voice escalated to angry.
"What did Tyler say?" Elena asked when she could get a word in.
"Tyler didn't say anything, which was enough confirmation for me."
"I'm sorry Care. Well at least we have some normal teenage drama in our lives." As soon as Bonnie said that, Elena thought about Damon. Then she felt very girly, like a normal teenager would when they liked a boy.
"Speaking of teenage stuff, Damon and I slept together last night." Caroline spit out her soda at hearing the words 'slept together'.
"Oh my god! Elena, what about Stefan?" Caroline said a little too loud.
"Caroline, shhhh." Elena said looking around to see if anyone heard Caroline.
"Elena, explain." Bonnie said reasonably.
Elena smiled thinking about it. "Well, just so know, Stefan and I broke up first. That doesn't make it right, for doing this so soon, but Damon and I, last night- It was a long time waiting and I don't regret it." Elena felt relieved that she didn't have any regrets about last night.
"It would almost be romantic if it wasn't Damon." Caroline always thought that Stefan and Elena were perfect for each other.
"Look, Care, I know you never liked the idea of Damon and I, but I really like him. Can you just support me and my decision?"
Caroline sat there, thinking really hard, whether she should be mad and ignore Elena, or just pretend to be okay with it until she eventually excepts it. "I'm sorry, Elena. I'm just used to the idea of you and Stefan." Caroline chose to go with it.
...
Kol and Tori arrived back in Mystic Falls that late afternoon. Kol decided to drive straight to the boarding house.
"Where are we?" Tori asked as they parked outside the house.
"This is the boarding house. You'll probably find your sister here. She's always with those Salvatores." Kol said blankly.
"What! I don't want to be here. Just take me back to the mansion. You can protect me right? I don't need her to protect me." Tori protested.
"No, actually, I cannot protect you."
"Why? Kol you've been doing fine."
"I can't because I don't want to. I am not the kind of guy who does these nice gestures. So just get out."
Tori was still being surprised by Kol. She thought that they had bonded. "What about Sarah? You loved her. You cared about her. Are you telling me you can't even be friends with anyone else?"
"Yes. I think I've learned from my mistake. Now get out of the car, before I make you." Kol said coldly.
Tori gave up. She scoffed and got out of the car. The truth was that Kol thought he had shared too much with Tori. He had to shut her out. Kol doesn't want anyone to see that vulnerable side of him.
...
Tori hesitantly walked up to the door. Before she could knock the door opened. It was one of the guys. Damon she thought it was.
"What are you doing here?" He said, questioning her appearance.
"Um, I don't know what to say." Tori was angry. All she wanted to do right now was go home.
"Well, Elena's not here, but she will be thrilled to see you. Come in." Damon said opening the door more for Tori to come in.
"I have a question." Tori said as walked in the house.
"Shoot Elena look-alike."
"When will I get to go home?"
Damon honestly didn't know when it will be safe for her to go home. "Well, I'll let you know. In the meantime, make yourself at home." Tori definetly wasn't.
Damon called Elena and told her that her sister was at the boarding house. Elena left her house in less than a second.
Elena walked in the boarding house. Finally her sister was here and they could work on getting these vampire hunters off their backs.
When Elena walked in and Tori saw her, she stood up from the couch.
"Hi." was all Tori could say.
Elena walked over to her. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" Elena was worried.
"No, they took care of me, and protected me. Honestly, I am only here because apparently my 'sister' wants to take care of me." Tori said with a bad attitide.
"Hey, we are not the bad guys here. They are. You've been with them for days and they've confused you and filled your head with lies. I want to help you so you can go home, and back to your life. You can't trust them." Elena had so many reasons to gice her for not trusting the originals, but she didn't want to put so much on her right now.
"Look, I don't like being here. You know that, and I am not obligated to like you, or trust you, but I can't go anywhere, so I guess I will just have to accept it." Tori said plopping back on the couch. "So, will I be staying here, or at your house?"
Elena was a little lost for words. This girl was not what she expected. She wasn't freaked out. Tori was just angery. "Um, my house."
"Then let's go." Tori said standing back up.
...
Elena let Tori stay in Jenna's old room. Tori just closed the door so she could try and sleep, but she heard a knock on the door.
"Yeah?" Tori said to the guy as she opened the door.
"Hi. I'm Jeremy, Elena's brother."
"Oh. So how are we related?" Tori asked curiously.
"Probably cousins. It's very confusing." Jeremy said smiling.
"Please tell me you're human." Tori said with a little laugh. Everyone she's met so far has been a vampire.
"Yeah I'm human, but i can see ghosts." Tori couldn't help but laugh. This town was filled with the supernatural. Another reason to leave, because she didn't want to end up like them. "I was just wondering if you were hungry. Who knows what these vampires have been feeding you." Jeremy said jokingly.
"Yeah, I'm hungry, thanks." Tori came out of the room and closed the door. "Hey, do have a computer I can use?" She asked as they walked down the stairs.
"Yeah, but I don't think it would be a good idea to contact anyone from home. No else can get involved in this mess."
Tori hadn't even thought of that. "Yeah I know. I just wanted to search something." Tori wanted to see if she find anything on Sarah, even though it was so long ago.
"Oh. Well, what is it? Maybe I can help you." Jeremy wanted to help her, because he knew how it felt to be a human stuck in the middle of vampire drama.
"I want to find some information on a girl, who probably died in like, the early nineteen hundreds."
"I think I know where you could find some info. Who is she?"
"It's a long story, I just want to know... Well, about her I guess." Tori didn't really know what she was searching for.
Jeremy opened his laptop on the kitchen counter. "Okay, this website is really good when it comes to history."
"Type in Sarafina Scott." Tori watched him type in her name. When the the results came up her jaw dropped. "Is that her?" Jeremy asked pointing to the picture that popped up.
"Yeah, that's her." Tori said slowly still trying to process.
"Then I think you got your timeline wrong, because this says it was taken in 1987." Jeremy said as he read the pictures caption. Sarah looked young and beautiful. Tori knew what this meant.
"No, this finally makes sense. She's a vampire."
...
Okay give me some feedback. I hope you enjoyed it. I'm slowly working my way up to the big turning point. Review!
