A/N: I know I said that I would post this tomorrow but I managed to write it all now! I've decided to post it now so I won't have to do it in the morning. I will hopefully (*fingers crossed*) still update tomorrow too. I hope you enjoy Isabella's reaction to Elena!

Chapter 10
Bella POV
Erin and I have just arrived in Mystic Falls. On the way we got a call from Emmett telling us that Bree, Diego and Fred managed to meet up with them without being followed and that the Cullen's met them in Vancouver. He still hasn't told them why they are going to Virginia though and that has caused some tension between the family members. However they do know about Victoria now and are willing to take care of the newborns that managed to escape.
"What's got you thinking so hard?" Erin asks as we step out the taxi we got from the airport. We had to leave her beloved car behind but Emmett will be driving it down for her.
"I was just thinking about the call from your bear of a brother." I looked around and saw that we are outside some place called the 'Mystic Grill'. "You want to go for a drink before we go see Stefan and Damon?"
"Sure! They can wait a little longer to see their darling sister can't they?" She giggles. I roll my eyes at her and we walk through the doors of the bar.
The place was crowded with teenagers and young adults whom were either playing pool or sat down eating. We walked up to the bar and I compelled the bar tender to give us two shot glasses and a bottle of tequila without asking for our I.D's. We sat down on the bar stools and I poured us a shot each.
"This place is alright. Way better than Forks!"
I look at her incredulously. We've been here five minutes and she already likes it here.
We sit there, slowly finishing off the tequila when I spot someone I never thought I'd see again going into the restroom.
"I'll be right back." I get off my seat and follow the girl without waiting for a reply from Erin. I slip in quietly and wait for her to finish up in one of the stalls.
I run out at vampire speed and pin the bitch against the wall, her feet dangling off the ground. Now that I was closer to her, I could tell she wasn't Katherine as she smelled human.
"Who are you?" I growl at her, tightening my hand slightly. The girl choked; her eyes wide and bulging out of the sockets. I huff and set her down, still holding her against the wall.
"Elena… Gilbert." She wheezes, trying to get her breath back. I raise an eyebrow at her. So, I thought, she's one of the founding families.
"You thought I was Katherine, didn't you?" She asks quietly. My eyes snap up and meet hers.
"How do you know about Katherine?" I question, taking a step back from her so I'm not pinning her against the wall anymore.
"She turned my boyfriend-"she stopped talking suddenly and looked me up and down. "You're Isabella right?"
"How do you know who I am?"
"I'm dating your brother-"she starts to say before I rudely cut her off.
"Damon?" Of course, I thought, he's practically dating Katherine's twin!
"No, Stefan." She corrects, smiling slightly. I glare at her, then turn and stalk out of the restroom towards a frowning Erin.
"What the hell was that all about?"
"I'll explain on the way to the boarding house. It's time I had a little chat with my brothers."
Damon POV
Isabella arrived twenty minutes ago and announced she had met Elena. Her friend, Erin, and I had front row seats to the screaming match that proceeded between my siblings. Well, Isabella was doing the screaming and Stefan just took the berating silently.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!"
"She's different form Katherine! She's sweet and kind and doesn't like hurting anyone-" Stefan is cut off by a still furious Isabella.
"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT! I DO NOT WANT YOU DATING HER!"
"It's my life!" Stefan hissed furiously. "I love her! Why can't you accept that and be happy for me?"
"She's Katherine's copy! I thought you were over that bitch but obviously you're not! Otherwise you'd date someone different!" Isabella replied cooling off a little. Thank God the screaming stopped; I thought my ear drums would burst.
"I admit the likeness to Katherine is what drew me in. But then I got to know her and discovered that she was nothing like her."
"I've heard enough. Fine, go out with her! Just make sure she never sets foot in this house while I'm here." With that final statement, she stormed off upstairs leaving a sad looking Stefan behind.
"I hate to say I told you so…" I start to say breaking the silence but a glare from Stefan stops me from completing my sentence. I just smirk at him and pour myself a drink.
"I'm going to see Elena, make sure she's ok."
He left, leaving Erin and I alone sitting on the couch. I turn to her and give her a charming smile.
"We were never properly introduced. I'm Damon Salvatore." I kiss the back of her hand.
"Nice to meet you Damon. I'm Erin McCarty. And don't even try anything with me; your sister has already warned me about what you're like." She giggled and I roll my eyes and turn to stare into the fire.
"I'm going to check on Isabella." She smiles at me and for some reason I return it. She heads upstairs while I check her out.
"Stop staring at my ass Damon!" She says before turning her head to smirk at me.
I just laugh and turn back to the fire. Isabella's friend is alright. I just hope the others are at least tolerable.
Elena POV
Once Isabella left the restroom, I tried calling Stefan to tell him that I had met his sister but he didn't answer. I was worried about her reaction. She looked pissed off. I just hope that everything will be ok like Stefan said.
I walked back into the bar towards Bonnie who was sat at our table waiting for me.
"What took you so long?" She asks as I sit down.
"I just met the other Salvatore." I reply. She raises her eyebrows, willing me to continue. I just take a sip of my coke.
"So… how'd it go?" Bonnie pressed. I sighed. I haven't told Stefan that I told Bonnie about his sister. I didn't know whether he was telling anybody but he had to right? I mean she is staying in town for a while.
"Well she lifted me up by my throat and demanded who I was. Then she let go when she saw I couldn't breathe but kept me pinned to the wall. I told her I knew about Katherine and that I was dating her brother and she immediately thought it was Damon." I pause, thinking back to when Damon attacked Bonnie while she was being possessed by Emily when she destroyed that gemstone so Damon couldn't open the tomb.
"Of course." Bonnie murmurs, lost in her thoughts, most likely thinking about the same thing as I.
"She seemed really shocked and angry when I said Stefan. I hope everything turns out ok though. I don't want his sister to hate me."
"If she does, she's a bitch. Just because you look like Katherine doesn't mean that you are anything like her. She should accept that you're both happy and welcome you with open arms." She tries reassuring me but it doesn't elevate the worry and nervousness in the pit of my stomach.
"I can understand why though. After all, she hardly speaks to Damon because of his love for Katherine. If she believes that Stefan is only going out with me because I look like her she probably won't change her mind. Stefan said that she can be very stubborn." I admit while thinking over my conversation with my boyfriend that morning. He wanted to make sure I was ok with everything after our discussion last night.
"Damon's a dick so I can understand why she doesn't. Although I would've thought they'd put these things aside so they'd get along."
"Stefan didn't exactly tell me everything about what happened with all of them after they became vampires. He said that they do get along when they are all together and they try to ignore the elephant in the room but as soon as one of them leaves they start at each other's throats again. He never mentioned the reasons why they do this." I sigh, taking another sip of my drink.
"Some things should stay within the family Elena. There may be more to it than Stefan is letting on. You can't expect him to tell you all of his secrets you know." She tells me and I know she's right.
"I realise that Bonnie."
We sit in silence for a few moments, finishing off our drinks before changing the subject. Before long we call it a night and Bonnie gives me a ride home. Upon entering the house I see my aunt Jenna.
"Hey Elena. I hope you haven't eaten yet, I've just ordered pizza."
"No I haven't." I say as I walk towards the stairs. "I'm just going to call Stefan. Can you call me when the food arrives?"
"Sure, as long as you bring your brother down with you! He's got his headphones in again but at least he's doing homework." She grins before heading into the sitting room. I shake my head and run up the stairs to my room.
When I open the door, I see Stefan lying across my bed.
"Hey." He says, smiling slightly at me. I walk up to the bed and collapse next to him. We turn our heads towards each other and I kiss him.
"Hi." I breathe, pulling away from him. "I tried calling you…" I trail off and wait for him to respond.
"Yeah, um, my sister was already there so I couldn't answer."
"How did it go because she didn't look to happy when she left." I enquire grimacing a little.
"She shouted at me for twenty minutes and now she's giving me the silent treatment. Oh and she won't be warming up to you anytime soon. I'm sorry." He whispered his expression upset.
"I'm sorry to hear that. And it's ok. You don't have to apologise. She's just being protective of her little brother that's all. I think I'd do the same for Jeremy if I were in the same position."
"It still doesn't excuse how she treated you though." He stated.
"How would you react if you saw a human who looked exactly like the woman who played both of your brothers against each other and who you had a great hatred for, huh?" I ask knowing how he'd answer.
"I would be really angry."
"Exactly! Look at the bright side; she didn't kill me. She barely even hurt me, I mean when I couldn't breathe she let go."
"Only so she could get answers out of you." Stefan sulked. "But I suppose it's my fault. She was mainly angry at the fact that I didn't tell her I had a girlfriend. She did say or should I say screamed at me at one point that she would have come back sooner if she knew I'd had a girlfriend. I'm never keeping anything from her again.
I was just about to say something when Jenna shouted that the Pizza was here. I sigh and Stefan kisses my forehead, telling me goodnight before jumping out my window.
I walk through the bathroom and into Jeremy's room that is thankfully unlocked and tell him that dinner was here. We headed downstairs in silence as I hoped everything would eventually get better between the Salvatore's.
A/N: Do you think Isabella over reacted? Was Elena too forgiving? Oh and the very confused Cullen's should be arriving in Mystic Falls in the next chapter. They're running there so I have to give them some time. There is also the new female character that I mentioned in the authors note of the previous chapter who I really need a name for. So share your thoughts with me and Review! And I'll reply to them as soon as I can.
