Author's Note: Hello my lovelies. So I finally finished chapter ten. I've been getting writers block a lot so its been taking me a while to update, sorry. I didn't really like chapter nine. It wasn't the way I wanted. I would like to thank everyone who stuck with me so far. It means a lot! So here's chapter ten.

I do not own The Vampire Diaries or any of its characters except for Crystal Salvatore, Skye Sutton, & Sara Blake.

Chapter Ten:

I had received Stefan's text to meet me at his house. I don't even know how he got my number. He must have asked Bonnie or Matt for it. I was all ready to go when I heard a roaring engine in the driveway. The sound was screeching. I walked over to my window and saw Skye dart out of the driveway. She had been avoiding me for a while. Every time I tried to talk to her, she would sometimes reply and leave the situation. She was still upset about everything that had happened. But I don't know what I can do that will make it better. I'm just hoping if I give her time, she'll slowly forgive me.

I grabbed my keys of out my jacket pocket and make my way to the door. Something just doesn't feel right. I have this feeling like something bad is going to happen today. I ignore the feeling and open the door. When I walked outside, the wind blew hard. The scents filling my nose from it were amazing. Fresh cut grass and the many different flowers like, sage, lilies, iris, sunflowers, and roses. I could keep going on the variety of scents but the leaves were distracting me. The colorful autumn leaves were scattered everywhere on the ground. The wind was carrying most of them away, leaving the sounds of them crisping together. How can something bad happen on a beautiful autumn day like this?

I got into my car and rolled down the windows. I just wanted to feel the wind run through my hair. I turned on my radio station but there was nothing good on, so I switched to a Florence + The Machine cd, Lungs. The song started playing and I waited for the singing.

"Happiness hit her like a train on the track

Coming towards her stuck still no turning back

She hid around corners and she hid under beds

She killed it with kisses and from it she fled

With every bubble she sank with her drink

And watched it away down the kitchen sink"

I sang along to the lyrics. This day was going so great, so far. For a moment I felt relaxed. I kept singing to the song and looked at my side mirror. There were no cars in sight. I looked back to the street, when I noticed something. Was that a black figure in the road?

"Shit!" I yelled while slamming on the brakes of my car. I jumped out of my car and ran to the lying down person. It was a young girl with brown hair. I placed my hand on her neck and turned her on her back. There was blood oozing out of her neck, along with bite marks. I checked for a pulse... She was barely alive. I rolled up my jacket sleeve and bit into my wrist. I moved my dripping wrist to her mouth. I could hear the blood slowly going down her throat. She started to move a little. She pulled my arm closer to her and was now gulping the blood down. I pulled my wrist away from her. She opened her eyes a little but shut them again. Her wounds were already healing.

"I'm going to take you home." I said while scooping her up into my arms. I carried her to my car and opened the back seat door. I slowly slid her on the seat, in a lying down position. I slammed the door and ran back around to the front. I jumped up onto my seat and my phone started to vibrate in my pocket. I pulled it out to see who was calling. It was Stefan.

"Hey, something just happened so I'm going to be a little late."

"What's wrong?"

"Look something just happened to this girl. I'll explain it all when I get to you. I have to go, see you soon."

"Okay."

I hung up the phone and slid it back into my pocket.

"Ouch." The girl in the backseat had her hand on her neck as she slowly sat up.

"What's going on? Who are you?" She slowly whispered.

"Oh my god I just don't have time for this." I turned around and grabbed the girl's shirt.

"Look at me."

She looked in to my eyes and started shaking.

"Relax." I started to compel her. "What's your name?"

"Sara. Sara Blake." The girl gazed into my eyes.

"Okay, Sara Blake. My name is Crystal. Now I just found you in the street but you don't remember what really happened to you. All you can remember is that you tripped and passed out."

"I tripped and passed out."

"I came to help you."

"You came to help me."

"Now, Sara, where do you live?"

"367 Maple Street."

"Okay I'm going to take you home now and your not going to speak the whole care ride."

"I wont spe-"

"Shh." I put my finger to her mouth and cut her off.

I turned back around and started driving.

I opened the backseat door.

"Okay, Sara, your home."

She looked up at me and stepped out of the car.

"Thanks for helping me. I guess I tripped and passed out. It's not the first time it's happened. I usually blackout."

She shut the car door and looked back at me.

"Any time. Oh, and you should probably clean up your face. It's a complete mess."

She felt her face with her fingertips; the blood was dry now. She wiped her face with the back of her wrist and let her hand fall back to her side.

"Thanks."

"I think you should be more careful. You never know who will you find you next time."

She gave me a confused look and started to walk to her door. I walked back to the front door of my car and got back in. I guess something bad was going to happen today. But the feeling is still here. Like that's not all.

I arrived at the boarding house and knocked on the door. Stefan immediately opened it.

"What happened?" He asked in a stern voice.

"I was on my way here and there was this girl in the street, barely alive. Luckily I made it on time to save her. She was bitten on her neck. I fed her my blood, compelled her, and then drove her home."

"Who did it?"

"That's what I would like to find out. The last thing we need is people finding out about our existence, like the council. The last thing we need is 1864 happening again. Has Damon been up to his old tricks?"

"It couldn't have been him, he's been here all day."

"Shocking. Well it definitely happened today, so what? More vampires in town?"

"I don't know. Must be."

"Who are the vampires in this town besides the three of us?"

"That's it I think. I don't know of anyone else. Well besides Anna, but she wouldn't leave a mess like that."

"Anna? Let me guess, 1864?"

"Yes. She's dating Elena's brother, Jeremy."

"Are you sure that's a good idea? Can we actually trust her?"

"Well, no I don't think it's a good idea. As for trusting her, I can't be sure. She's helped us and stabbed us in the back, so…"

"Don't trust her, Stefan."

"Why?"

"Just trust me." I laughed

"So where is Damon anyway?" I looked around the room and noticed a half full glass of liquor on the table.

"He's upstairs."

"He still doesn't believe me does he?"

"No. He's finding it hard to believe."

"Look Stefan, I wouldn't lie about that. After all family means everything to me, especially since I've never known mine. I did also save his life from Skye. I guess I don't blame him though for not believing me. I just show up to town a century later saying 'I'm your sister', I mean how can someone believe that?"

"Well, Damon has a hard time believing things because he's been lied to so many times. He's been let down by everyone, including me, just give him time."

"He can take all the time he needs, after all we got forever."

"I don't need time." I heard a low voice behind me. I turned around and Damon was walking towards the table. He lifted his glass up and gulped a final sip down.

"I need evidence." He said while walking to the liquor bottles. He started to pour himself another glass full.

"I don't care if you got my baby bro believing you. No matter how many facts you have about us and 1864, I need proof, which I have none of."

He took another chug of his drink and finished it. He's such a drinker.

"Your not my sister, your just some conceiving bitch sent here by someone."

"Damon." Stefan warned.

"No Stefan its fine." I got up and walked towards Damon. He was frowning at me as I stopped in front of him. I gave him a smile.

"Hmm."

Quickly, I took his arm and swung it behind his back, starting to break it. He screamed. I grabbed his other arm and pulled it back so he couldn't touch me. Stefan jumped up.

"Down." I pointed to him with my free hand.

"I'm obviously not going to kill him." Stefan slowly sat back down on the couch.

"Listen Damon, don't call me a bitch. You want to know who a bitch is? Katherine Pierce. But I'm sure you already knew that. It might have taken you a century to find that out but you eventually got that down in your head. Now, I get you don't believe me, but everything I have said is true. You need proof? Fine, I'll give you it."

I released his arms and he stumbled backwards. I ran to the front door and heard Damon's bones snapping back into place.

"Wait, Crystal! Where are you going?" Stefan stood back up.

"Getting proof."

"Skye?" I shut the front door and ran up the stairs. I walked up to Skye's door and knocked on it.

"Skye? Are you in here? I need your help with something."

There was no answer or movement.

"Skye, your car is in the driveway so I know you're here."

There was still no answer.

"Uhh. You're going to have to talk to me eventually."

I walked away from her door and walked back downstairs. I didn't want Bonnie to help me with this, not right after she helped me locate Skye. There was only one person who could help me prove this.

"Crystal? What are you doing here?" Elena had opened the door, with a confused smile on her face.

"Is your brother home?"

"Um no, he's at the grill. Why is something wrong?"

"No! Of course not, I just need to ask him a question. Well, thank you. I'll find him there."

"Okay." She gave me a smile before shutting the door. Uh I feel like I'm going all over the place for this.

I entered the grill and already saw Matt working tables. I walked up to him and tapped his arms.

"Hey Matt. Have you seen Jeremy?"

"Crystal, hey! Yea he's by the foosball table with Anna."

Wow, this couldn't get more perfect.

I walked the foosball table and took my first look at Anna since 1864. Her dark hair was kind of curly. Well that's a change.

"Jeremy?" I asked as he turned around. That was when Anna looked at me, her eyes widened.

"Umm yea?"

"Hi, I'm a friend of your sister. Its nice to meet you." I said while reaching my hand out. Good thing he couldn't sense me. He took it and gave it a quick shook.

"Crystal?" Anna finally asked?

"Hi Anna. It's great to see you again. Seems like forever."

"Too long."

"Wait you two know each other?" Jeremy asked.

"Yea. Anna and I go way back." I gave him a smile.

"Jeremy, if you don't mind, can I borrow Anna for a few minutes?"

"Yea, yea sure. You probably have some catching up to do."

"Thanks Jeremy," He smiled and walked away.

"I don't understand. I thought you were dead."

"Well technically we both are."

"Seriously Crystal! How are you alive?"

"The night all the witches were murdered, Lucy put a protection spell on me. She said bad things are going to come. Man, was she right."

"But how can a protection spell do that. I watched it bite you. Bites like that are fatal to us."

"Look it just did! I need your help."

"Why should I help you? After all your idiot brothers are the reason my mother was put in that tomb."

"Oh, like that compares to 'you' being the reason I got bit in the first place! Oh and of course, lets not forget, you trying to kill my witch."

Anna gave me a look, then at Jeremy, who was talking to Matt. A few seconds passed and she finally looked back at me.

"Fine. What do you want me to do?"

"I need you to help me convince Damon that I'm his sister."

"He doesn't know?"

"No, he does. He just doesn't believe me. He said he needs proof, well I got you,"

"Okay. Let me tell Jeremy I'm leaving."

"Alright."
