Matt, Bonnie and I stepped into the party, We walked by Stefan and Elena, Stefan was whispering something to Elena.
I smile at them, They looked good together, And my sister seems happy, Stefan just earned my stamp of approval.
I look forward and I see Damon observing them, He raised his drink and smirked at me, I just turned around and kept walking around the mansion with Bonnie and Matt.

We come to a stop as soon as we see the waiter coming around with drinks, I gave the waiter a flirty smile and took drinks for the three of us.

"Good to know I still have it." I smirk and they chuckle.

I took a sip of my drink. "All right, catch me up."

"What do you mean?" Matt asks.

"What's been going on in your lives, I want the interesting stuff!" I say excited.

There is a pause where they're thinking. "I got nothing." Bonnie says finally.

"Oh come on! You are two young, active and attractive people, You really have nothing for me?" I exclaimed.

"Oh I got something!" Bonnie says, I grin at her hopefully. "Two weeks ago, Matt got drunk and sang Karaoke!" She exclaimed. I laugh surprised and look at Matt who sighs.

"Hey! this was all Caroline's fault okay! She knows I can't turn down a challenge when I'm drunk!"

"And guess what the song was!" Bonnie smirks.

"Please tell me it's what I'm thinking.." I say closing my eyes

"It's Raining Men!"
I jump and clap my hands laughing. "Please tell me you have a video!" I ask hopefully.

"No she doesn't" Matt says in the same time Bonnie says. "Of course I do!"

"What you have a video?!" Matt's eyes widen.

"This is amazing!" I exclaim laughing. I missed this.

Bonnie and I keep laughing while Matt is in torture. "You guys are the worst." He mumbles under his breath.

"Why do they call it karaoke anyway? Was it invented by a woman named Karey Okee?" I ask, They both gave me a weird look.

"What? These are the kind of things I think about."

We talked for a while and then Matt and Bonnie went to dance, I walked around the place and came to a small room, I looked at what was on display and found my parent's wedding rings, tears formed in my eyes but I blinked them back, They were beautiful. It's hard being back, I thought it would be easier after I left but the memories are still here, But I had to suck it up.

And then I saw an antique tea bell, I smiled upon seeing it, I took it and shook it my hands, The ringing voice was familiar, Almost too familiar. My eyes flickered to the original guest list, I started reading the names in my head but then frowned when I saw two names I knew. Stefan Salvatore and Damon Salvatore.

As if reading my mind. "The original Salvatore brothers." Damon's voice came from behind me. "Our ancestors, Tragic story actually." I didn't reply and turned back around to look at the list.

He came next to me. "I want to apologize to you for being such a world-class jerk the other night when I tried to kiss you. There's no excuse. My therapist says I'm... Acting out, trying to punish Stefan." I chuckled at this.

"What's so funny?"

"I'm sorry it's just you don't strike me as the type of person who would go to a therapist." I state calmly.

"And why is that?" He asks furrowing his brows.

"Well, To go to a therapist you first have to admit that you have a problem. You just seem too smug to do that." I gave him a tight but not kind smile.

He laughs slightly and looks around."I know you must think the worst of me, But I'm really trying to work on it."

I didn't reply to what he just said."What are you trying to punish Stefan for?" I ask him curiously.

"It's all in the past. I don't even want to bring it up. Let's just say that the men in the Salvatore family have been cursed with sibling rivalry. And it all started with the original Salvatore brothers."

He started telling me about his family history. "The Salvatore name was practically royalty in this town. Until the war. There was a battle here-"

"The battle of willow creek." I cut in.

He pauses for a moment. "Right."

"Yeah I know, We're studying it at History." I informed him. "Confederate soldiers fired on a church with civilians inside."

"What the history books left out was the people that were killed. They weren't there by accident. They were believed to be union sympathizers. So some of the founders on the confederacy side back then wanted them rounded up and burned alive." He said walking around.

"Stefan and Damon had someone they loved very much in that church. And when they went to rescue them, they were shot. Murdered in cold blood." His face softened when he said that, I just stared at him.

"Who was in that church that they wanted to save?" I asked him.

"A woman, I guess. Doesn't it always come down to the love of a woman?" It was more of statement than a question.

"Look, I'm sorry that you and Stefan have this thing between you, but me and Elena, We can't get in the middle of it, Damon." He looks at the ground. "I just... I hope you two can work it out." I said sincerely.

"I hope so too." He said in a way that made me believe him. I gave him a small smile.


I found Bonnie and sat with her on the couch, We started talking and eating some cake when we noticed Elena storming into the house, She walks towards us as soon as she saw us.

"Uh oh" Bonnie mutters

"That does not look good." I sigh.

Elena came and sat between us and explained to us what happened between her and Stefan.

"Elena you promised you wouldn't get in the middle of it!" I whined.

"I'm sorry okay! I just wanna know what happened!" She replied.

"I understand! But you have to wait until he's ready to tell you!" I exclaimed. "Stefan really likes you Elena, He's gonna open up eventually."

"This is my fault. I planted doubt. I'm a doubt planter." Bonnie says in a guilty tone.

"It's not your fault. Blair's right, I said that I wouldn't get in the middle of it, and that's exactly what I did. I got all snotty."

"It's my life story, My cuteness interfering with people hearing my message." I sighed. Elena chuckled.

"Elena, honey, there you are." Mrs Lockwood came to us. I zoned out on their conversation and spotted Caroline heading for the bathroom, I haven't talked to her all night, I followed her into the bathroom.

"Hey, Haven't seen you all night."

"Yeah me neither, How's your night going so far?" She asked as I stood next to her facing the mirror.

"Eh, It's Nice." I answered her fixing my hair.

"Yeah, My night hasn't been great either." She sighs, I laugh and look at her, I was about to say something when I saw something on her neck, Blood. What the hell?!

"Caroline what is that?" I ask removing her scarf. I saw a big mark on her neck. I freaked out.

"Caroline what happened to you!"

"Nothing." Caroline says trying to cover it up.

"That is not nothing! Who did this to you." I snap at her.

"No one, ok, nothing. It just... My mom would kill me" She says nervously. I pull down her shawl only to find more bite marks and bruises.

"Did Damon do this to you?" She covers up her back and doesn't reply. "Tell me Caroline! Did Damon hurt you!" I snap at her getting angrier.

Elena walks in. "Guys, You're being loud I can hear you from outsi-" Elena sees the marks on Caroline. "Caroline, what-"

"Damon did this to her!" I cut in.

"No! Of course not! Just leave me alone, ok!" She storms off, But I wasn't believing her.

I give Elena a look and leave the bathroom, I wanted to find Damon, I pump into a few people I don't even bother turning around. He can't get away with this.

When I found him he was smirking at me which only made more angry, I slapped him as hard as I could.

"You thought you were gonna get away with this!" I snap at him. He looks confused, Does he not even realize what he did to Caroline?!

"You are nothing but a sick, twisted manipulative psychopath" I mouthed each word carefully. "If you come near Caroline again you're gonna have to go through me, And you do not want to make an enemy out of me." I pushed past him and left.

It was true, I can be nice to people but once they cross me I'm a completely different person, I would scheme and manipulate and do everything I can to make sure they pay for what they did, I'm not proud of it but I can be a crazy bitch when needs to be.


After everything that has happened, I needed a drink, I took a drink from the waiter and gulped it all at once, I can't wait for tonight to be over.
I walked around the garden and and saw Elena taking off her heels, I smiled, My sister always hated heels.

"Hey, have you seen Caroline?"
I shrugged as my eyes scanned the place till I saw her, A worried expression came over my face and Elena followed my eyes to see Caroline standing there in the dark all by herself.

"Caroline? There you are. I've been looking everywhere for you." Elena said, Something was off about Caroline.

"Are you ok?" Elena asks her.

"Yeah I'm fine" Her voice was breaking.

"Caroline what happened?" Elena asks again, I stare at Caroline. She was obviously not fine!

"I'm fine" She repeats again.

"Care, You're shaking.." I say softly touching her arm.

"I'm fine!"

I hug her and she cries on my shoulders as Elena joins in. I can't wait to go home.
