(^Note sarcasm in the title)

Morning came and I was the first one up as always. I got a text 15 minutes later from Stefan to meet me up at the boarding house. I agreed anyway and got dressed up before leaving.

Yup, being extremely close (in an alliance way) with your sister's now ex-boyfriend wasn't weird at all.

Nothing strange there.

Nope.

Once I got to the boarding house I made myself announced.

"Hello?! The parental guardian's here. What's your emergency?" I quipped. I got no respond and went into the living room. "Angie? We're up here!" I heard Stefan shout out from upstairs.

We? Hmm...

I soon sped all the way upstairs and stopped dead-end on my tracks. My eyes shifted.

"You."

"Mama G."

I immediately lunged myself toward my least favorite Salvatore. Before I could even touch him some tried to hold me back.

"What the hell?! Stefan!" I shouted frustrated. "Angie stop! You do not want to hurt him." Stefan informed me. "Actually, she does." Damon teased with his menacing smirk. It only made me more heated at him than I already was. "Stefan!" I shouted out for him to let go. "No. Angie, keep control. Damon's not worth the time and energy you'll spend." Stefan informed me. I kept on struggling out of his grasp, but eventually gave up knowing he'll never let go unless I quit now. "Fine." I muttered bitterly to myself. Damon smirked as Stefan hesitated to let me go.

"Stefan." I said in a warning tone. He soon let go. I turned my head to the side and was shocked to see Vicki standing there.

"Vicki?" I started out.

"AJ? What the hell?!" She started out shocked and deeply confused. I mentally face plumed myself for giving myself away that easily. I seriously need to have better control or else Elena or worse, Jeremy could possibly find out. Just replace Vicki with one of my siblings right now and then we'll see how that situation will turn out.

"What is she doing here? I thought you lost her?" I asked Stefan. Last night while everyone was asleep, Stefan briefly called me to inform me that he lost Vicki and would look for her the whole night. I thought he'd never find her. "Lost is a strong word, Mama. I prefer she went out for a long stroll and we went out looking to make sure she was safe." Damon interfered. I narrowed my eyes. Even his voice annoys me to no end.

"I asked Stefan. And you don't even care if she's safe. You went out looking for her because you didn't want to be found out. That vampires are in Mystic Falls." I informed him. "Oh come on! Don't tell me you actually care about this stoner?" Damon rhetorically asked me. "She's not just a stoner. She's Matt's sister, who is Elena's ex but mainly friend. And to me, Vicki's one of my first younger friends." I informed him.

"I'm still here, wondering what the hell is happening. AJ, you're...?" Vicki started out.

"Yeah." I stated.

"But how?" She asked.

"Summer." I stated.

"Why?" She asked.

"Free will." I told her.

"Bullshit." She scoffed.

"I know." I admitted.

"Does anyone..?" She started out.

"No. Just me, Stefan, Damon and my creator." I told her.

"Oh." She mumbled.

"Yeah." I stated, "Ironic isn't it?"

"Tell me about it." She nearly chuckled out.

As this was going on Stefan and Damon looked between us.

"What?" We both asked.

"Nothing." Stefan muttered, while Damon just scoffed and turned from the scene.

Like I said earlier, Vicki's one of my friends. And finishing each other's sentences just proved that.


"I don't understand why I have to be stay cooped up here. Why can't I just go home?" Vicki asked Stefan.

We were all seated at the moment. I sat next to Vicki, Damon sat the furthest from me and Stefan was across from Vicki. "Because you're changing, Vicki, and it's not something you wanna do along." Stefan told her. "Believe me, I know. You're gonna need all the help you can get." I informed her.

"There's nothin' about that Logan guy I killed in here. Not a word. Someone's covering it up." Damon muttered as he looked through the new paper. I turned my head quickly to look at him. "What? What did you say? You killed Logan? Logan Fell?" I asked him. "Yeah, what about him?" Damon wondered. I gapped at him slightly and tried to keep my anger under control.

I know I didn't like Logan much, but goddamnit I didn't want him to be killed! Even he didn't deserve death as much as the next guy.

I closed my eyes and shook my head slightly, trying not to feel guilt for not even spending a brief second with him during his supposed last days. It was the one most noticeable personality trait both Elena and I had in common. Feeling guilt when it wasn't even our faults to begin with.

"What is that?" I heard Vicki ask Damon. I turned my head to gaze at the compass in Damon's hand. "This is a very special, very old compass. What was Logan Fell doing with it? Aren't you curious?" Damon stated. I narrowed my eyes slightly.

That compass.

Something was eerily familiar about that compass.

"If you're worried about being found out, why don't you just skip town, Damon?" I asked him, knowing he would unknowingly do us all a favor by doing that.

"We should all be worried." He stated.

We?

Why do I keep hearing this 'We' stuff?

"Hey, um, I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?" Vicki soon asked. "Here." Stefan told her, handing over a cup. "What is it?" Vicki asked. I wondered too. I knew from the smell that it was blood (I think?), but seriously, what kind of blood was that? It smelt like rotten meat, minus the actual meat. "It's what you're craving for." Stefan told her.

Really?

"Heh. Don't lie to the girl. It's so not what you're craving, but it'll do in a pinch, right, Stef?" Damon started out. "What is it?" Vicki repeated. "Yeah, what is it? Is it skunk? Saint Bernard? Bambi?" Damon asked Stefan.

"Go on. Give it a try." Stefan encouraged Vicki.

"She's new. She needs people blood. She can't sustain on that stuff." Damon stated to Stefan.

"Yeah, why can't I have people blood?" Vicki asked.

"Because it's wrong to pray on innocent people, Vicki." Stefan told her. "You don't have to kill to feed. Just find someone really tasty and then erase their memory after wards. It's so easy." Damon told her.

"Or, just to be on the safe side, you can just drink from blood bags from the hospital. It'll be a little tricky at first to steal them from the hospital, but I'll help you until you get the hang of it." I suggested to her.

"No, no, no. There's no guarantee that you can control yourself, okay? It takes years to learn that. You can easily kill somebody, and then you have to carry that with you for the rest of your life, which, if I haven't made clear, is eternity." Stefan told her, referring to both Damon and my suggestions.

"Hey!" I stated offended, "I'll help her remember."

"Don't listen to them. He walks on a moral plane way out of our eye line and she's the reason why I nicknamed her Mama Gilbert. Like all mothers she's taking the safe side and feeling remorse. Remorse's a bitch. I say snatch, eat, erase." Damon told Vicki.

"Hey, look at me. We choose our own path. Our values and our actions, they define who we are." Stefan told her. "Stop scaring her, Stef. Look, Vick, our actions don't define us... but Stefan's right on one thing. We choose our own paths. Stefan picked the animal diet, Damon picked the hunger games, and I picked the safety caution. It's your choice to pick. Are you going to go Animal, Bag or Human? And remember, you have all eternity to make it right, so if you make a wrong choice, you can always fix it in the end." I told her. She nodded at my advice, which I'm surprised as well turned out to be a good one.

"Can I have some more?" Vicki asked Stefan. I grinned slightly. Damon scoffed and left to room muttering something I pretended I didn't hear. After Stefan gave Vicki a refill I soon heard the voice I dreaded to hear again.

"Stefan? Stefan?"

Elena.

It's rare days like this where I just wish she can disappear and go somewhere else.

Why is she even here if she broke things off with Stefan?! WHY?!

She's just making my life extra difficult without even knowing it...

I looked at Stefan with my signature puppy dog eyes. He sighed and said, "Hide for now, I'll figure out a way to make her leave." before he walked off. I mouthed 'thank you' to him before looking for a place to hide. Soon Vicki got up to leave. She was gone for a while. Curiosity struck me and I slowly creeped closer near the stairway. Luckily, no one was there so I quickly sped down the steps to avoid making a sound. I went passed the living room and spotted Vicki in the kitchen with Stefan and Elena. I hid myself in front of the door and placed my ear up against it.

"Does this sketchy feeling ever go away? It's like I have this massive hangover. This daylight thing is a bitch. I need more blood. Where's your bathroom? I have to pee. Why do I have to pee? I thought I was dead?" Vicki rambled out. I tried to hold back a chuckle.

Vicki. Classy Vicki.

I moved away from the door to let her open it and leave. She looked at me surprised. "What are yo-?" She whispered out. "Shh!" I hushed her silently. She shrugged and continue to walk off, but stopped mid-way and turned. She soon reentered the kitchen ignoring me.

"False alarm. My body's feeling really funky. It's a good funk, but it's weird." Vicki started out.

"Hmm, who are you calling?" Elena asked her.

"Jeremy." Vicki told her.

Huh, well that escalated quickly.

"Vicki, you can't see Jeremy anymore." Elena told her. Okay, ouch. I get we have to keep Jeremy safe, but anymore? Why not not right now? Anymore seems a bit harsh. Hey, I didn't say anything when Elena and Stefan were dating. I gave them a slide!

"Oh come on don't you start. I'm gonna see whoever I wanna see." Vicki informed her.

"Even though you could hurt him?" Elena tested her.

Stop testing people for once in your life!

"I would never hurt Jeremy." Vicki stated.

"I know you think that but I can't take that risk. (She pretty much read my mind there.) You're gonna have to let Jeremy go now." Elena told her.

Now the ending part... not so much.

"Oh really? And how long have you been preparing the "you're not good enough" speech? I'm assuming it predates the whole vampire thing." Vicki lashed out.

"All I'm saying is Jeremy is not getting involved in any of this. I mean it, Vicki." Elena warned her.

I pushed the front door a little open to see a peek of what was happening.

"Or what?" Vicki tested her, while having her in a chokehold against the wall.

I take it back... THAT escalated quickly! But to be fair, she did provoke her a little..

"Let's get one thing straight, you perky little bitch. You had my brother whipped for 15 years. 15 yeas and then you dumped him. When I look at you that is all I see, just so you know. And I'm gonna see Jeremy whenever I wanna see Jeremy, because I have some fun new toys to play with, and I won't think twice about ripping your little head off. You got it?" Vicki threatened her.

"Vicki." I whispered harshly.

She looked over at me briefly and rolled her eyes, before letting go of Elena and coming towards me. Once she left the kitchen and the door swang closed, by itself we were face to face. I took a hold of her arm and sped her all the way upstairs. Unknowingly we went into Stefan's room and barged the door open with our impact.

"What the hell was that?!" We both shouted out. We took a minute to think it over. "You are in no level to know that yet. Maybe when you're a little more advanced, sweetheart. Now, why did you threaten Elena?!" I told her. She scoffed and rolled her eyes at me. "She threatened me first, the little bitch." She muttered the ending part.

"Hey, that's my sister we're talking about!" I stated.

But to be fair Elena can sometimes ... and I mean sometimes ... be a bitch.

But that wasn't the case.

"Look. Just stay up here and away from Elena, okay? She's my sister and I don't want you 'ripping her head off', okay?" I told her. She sighed a bit and soon nodded. "Okay, I'll try. But it won't be easy." She told me. "Yeah, I know. I felt the same way." I told her.

"About ripping her head off?" Vicki asked.

"No! About having the need to kill. Your emotions are all wired up into one thing... hunger. I know, I've been through that stage myself. It was hard the first week, but I was a quick learner. I'll help you, I promise. I don't care if it takes a whole month or maybe even a year. I'm gonna help you, because I care, Vick." I informed her. She grinned softly.

"AJ?" She started out.

"Yeah?" I wondered.

"Can I see Jeremy? You know, if I get this whole vampire thing under control?" Vicki asked me.

I shook my head. "When you get this whole vampire thing down. And yes, you can still see him once you have everything under control. Just-Just make sure you keep the whole vampire thing a secret and don't use your powers around him or show any sign of your supernatural ability. If you can pretend to be human long enough, you can and will still see Jeremy." I told her.

"Thanks. I knew I always liked you the most out of the Twins." Vicki teased. I rolled my eyes at that nickname.

For some odd reason, everyone mistakes me and Elena as twins. Sure we look-alike, but we're completely different people. For starters I'm 4 years older than her and second even IF we are twins, we most be the ones with split personalities.

She's compassionate; I can be selfish... not all the time, but still.

She's an A-B student; I'm pretty sure I guessed my way all the through kindergarten to highschool's senior year.

My hair's darker than hers and her eyes brighter than mine.

Also, she tends to date the good guys, the 'Mr. Perfect.' the ones that will do ANYTHING for her if she asks, while I end up with the cowards, (insert issue here) disorders, and losers.

Yep, we're definitely twins, right?

But... I can't help but wonder how we're both born on the same month and day, but different years?


It was now dark out (Elena was gone) and I decided to call Jeremy.

"Hello?" He started out unsure.

"Jerbear!" I teased out.

"Angie?" He both groaned and questioned out. He always hated that nickname since I've given it to him when I caught him sleeping with his teddy bear last year.

"Why are you calling me?" He asked me, almost suspicious.

"Just wanted to check on you. You know, I haven't really seen you much. Are you okay?" I asked him. I could picture him shrugging when he said, "I don't know. I don't care. I just want to know if Vicki's okay." "Trust me, Jer, she's okay." I informed him.

"How do you know that?" He asked me.

I bit down my tongue to prevent myself from yelping in panic.

"I..I just know. I have a feeling she's going to be okay." I told him.

The line went quiet for a bit.

"Look, uh, I gotta go. I'll see you later tonight." I started out.

"Okay." He stated..

"Bye, Jer." I sighed, before hanging up.

I stared down at my phone a bit, until I overheard Stefan and Damon talking downstairs.

I sped down to find the two of them outside, Vicki included.

Oh no.

"Come on Vicki, live a little. No pun intended." Damon encouraged her.

Vicki nodded with a small mischief smile on her face, before getting into position and speeding away in a blink of an eye out of sight. All eyes widened surprised.

"Uh...my bad." Damon started out. I sped out the door way to see my eyes weren't deceiving me.

She was really gone.

Out in the woods.

Out of our reach.

Possibly to go home.

Where Matt might be.

Oh. My. God.

MATT!

"My bad? MY BAD?! Fuck. What's wrong with you?! She could be going into town right now! Dammit, Damon!" I started out frustrated. "Calm down, pussy cat. We can get her back." Damon stated. "Screw you." I decided to censor myself that minute, before taking off. I'm sure Stefan did the same.

"You check the school, I'll check her house." I heard Stefan say.

"Okay good, know get out of my head!" I demanded.


I reached the High School and saw they were throwing a Halloween party.

What the hell? HOW did I not know it was Halloween?! I practically was called "The Halloween Queen" during freshman year, while everyone else was called Homecoming.

Newsflash ladies, being the Halloween Queen will always be 10x more exciting than being the freaking Homecoming Queen.

I soon say Caroline, Bonnie and Tyler Lockwood chatting. When they broke off, I walked in.

"Angie? What are you doing here? And you're not in costume?!" She gasped as if the last part was more important than anything else. "Caroline, hey, I'm looking for Vicki. Vicki Donovan. Have you seen her?" I asked politely. "No, I haven't seen the stoner anywhere. I heard she went missing or something?" Caroline told me.

Dammit! Oh well.. maybe Stefan will have better luck.

"Okay, well, thanks Caroline. Oh wait. Forgot. That day when Damon attacked you at the boarding house and I saved you? Forget that ever happened. You were at whatever you were that day having the time of your life. Also in the future, if I ring for you and say 'come' you come to me ASAP, no matter what. Because I have a feeling I might need your help in the future. Now forget this conversation ever happened. I came by and asked how you were, you said you were fine and I left. That's all you need to know. Have a splendid day." I compelled her before speeding off.

I stopped when I spotted Jeremy and Elena with Matt.

"The hell they're doing here?" I muttered to myself as I walked up to them.

"Jeremy, Matt, Lena, hi." I started out calm. "Angie? What are you doing here?" Matt asked for both Jeremy and Elena.

Apparently, I'm an outcast out here.

"I just came to see how you guys were doing this year. I have to say, the party looks amazing as always. Caroline did a great job as she had done years before." I come up with, "By the way, not to sound like a cruel bitch, but have you heard from Vicki?" I asked Matt. "Yeah. I've actually seen her too." Matt told me. "Really? Where did you see her?" I asked him. "At home, but.." Matt started out, but I cut him off. "Is she here?" I asked.

"Yeah, you can't miss her. She's a vampire." Matt told me. It took all self-control and will for me not to laugh, smile or chuckle.

Oh he had no idea...

"Where did Jeremy go?" Elena soon panic.

Oh great.

"I'll go look for him. Stand clear." I stated before walking off.

"Of what?!" Matt shouted out to me, but I ignored him.

I walked through the crowd using my super hearing. I heard dumb things, stereotypical things and a few disturbing things too, but I couldn't hear any sign of Vicki or Jeremy. It's like they weren't even in the damn building!

"Jeremy! Vicki! Jeremy! Vicki!" I called out occasionally, but got no response. I heard Elena was doing the same in another hallway. I soon went out to the back to find Vicki or Jeremy. Once I got near, I heard a commotion happening and ran towards the sound quickly.

"AH!" I heard Elena scream.

"Vicki! Vicki! Vicki! Vicki!" I heard Jeremy cry out.

I hid myself in the dark corner as I foresaw Vicki getting staked by Stefan. I couldn't contain myself anymore and let out what sounded like a gasp and being choked at the same time. I covered myself and turned away from the scene in shock.

Vicki was dead.


I sped back home and went up to my room. I started wiping the tear stains off my face and looked in the mirror. I looked horrible and brushed my hair back. I made myself look a little decent and tried to be strong. Cause I knew that even though I lost Vicki, Jeremy lost Vicki as well. And I knew how much she meant to him and how much it'd hurt him deeply as well.

I soon heard crying from Jeremy's room and knew it was Jeremy. I soon left my room and went into his with a brave face.

"Make it stop. It hurts." Jeremy said to himself.

"Shh, shh, shh, shh. It's okay. It's okay." Elena informed him.

"Why does everybody have to die on me?" Jeremy cried out.

I couldn't take it anymore.

"Oh, my god." I muttered to myself trying to hold back tears. I went up to Jeremy and hugged him tight. Elena did the same. We both held him and confronted him for that moment. In though this was a sad day, I have to admit this was the closet I have ever been with both of my siblings.

Soon Elena released and left the room.

Now's my chance.

I whipped a bit of Jeremy's tears off and stared into his eyes deeply.

I know this was wrong, but I had to do it.

Jeremy had just lost our parents and went into drugs because of it.

Vicki was the only good thing left in his life.

There's no way he'll ever get pass this. Who knows he might even attempt committing suicide!

No.

It's better this way.

I sighed before letting the words flow through my lips and watching his eyes dilate.

He looked hypnotized under my gaze and stopped crying.

While I'm at it, I might as well help him with other things.

Things I've been meaning to get rid of in the past, that are just holding him back in life.


Once I was done, I left the room only to bump into Damon. I stuck out an arm in front of hm to prevent him from entering Jeremy's room.

"Don't go in there." I told him.

"What are you talking about Mama G.?" He asked confused.

"My name is Angelia Gilbert. You can call me Angie or Ang. I already know why you're here. To take away Jeremy's memories? I already did that. I took away his suffering. Now in return I want you to lie and say you did it. I don't want Elena knowing about me yet. I'll tell her when the time's right. And as for you, Damon Salvatore, you're probably wondering why you even owe me a favor. Well, maybe that's because I might help you in the future if you help me now. So, do we have a deal?" I informed him.

He stared at me stunned, but didn't say anything. Instead he moved out of my way. I walked past with a small smirk on my face.

"Pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Salvatore." I quipped.


A/N:

Sorry for the last chapter, I was running low on inspiration. Seriously, that was all I could thing of! I hope this chapter makes up for it. Also school's back in session for me so, I'll probably will start updating late. Hope you guys can forgive me, but school has to come first and I can't focus with my fanfics when I'm SO behind!

Don't worry I'll upload a second chapter either later today or tomorrow.

Until my school work clears up, I'll have to suffer the wrath of algebra. -_-

Thanks for being understanding!
