So I decided to update again considering I probably owe this to all of my readers.

I wish... I wish... I wish but it never comes true, I don't own Vampire Diaries.

Scarlett's POV

Time seemed to fly by as I spent an entire week in the house. I was already anxious to leave by the sixth day.

When Elijah came into my room and told me I could leave I was ecstatic. "Finally!"

He chuckled. "You never were patient."

I crossed my arms. "Why would I have to be patient when I have to world at my mercy? Besides I need to move around and go places." I grabbed my hair and pulled it to a tight ponytail. "Now, as we agreed. I'm not telling them you're helping me and you don't tell anyone I'm a vampire."

He nodded. "Agreed, as long as Elena keeps her end of the bargain."

I nodded too. "I'll make sure of it. Now, how do I get back?"

He smiled. "You're not that far from the mansion."

I narrowed my eyes. "Now you tell me." Without another word I walked out of the house and ran as fast as I could back to the mansion.

Damon's POV

One week, so many things had changed in one week. And to top it all off no one knew anything about Scarlett's whereabouts.

"Should we go out and look for her?" Caroline asked.

And where exactly should we look, we don't know anything." I pointed out.

"Well it's better than just sitting here and doing nothing." Bonnie exclaimed.

"Maybe we should split up and search?" Caroline offered.

I sighed. "Fine, we'll search. But as soon as you're done come back here."

"Great, I'll go check at Mrs. Flower's and see if she's there." Caroline said before taking off.

"We'll go to the Grill and see if she's there." Bonnie said as she got up and grabbed Jeremy's hand.

I sighed. "That means I'll go to the mansion and have a look."

Bonnie's POV

As soon as we stepped into the Grill I knew she was there.

I grabbed Jeremy's hand and led hit to the bar where Scarlett was drinking a beer. "Congratulations, you found me." She spoke not even bothering to turn around, her voice partially slurred.

We immediately went to sit on either side of her as she continued to drink. "What happened to you?"

She only spoke one word. "Kidnapping."

"Everyone's looking for you; you've been gone for a week." Jeremy added. "I'll go call them."

He left both of us alone as he went outside. "I could have stopped it Bonnie, if I was here I could have saved her… I should have been here."

I realized she was talking about Rose. "There was nothing you could do."

She shook her head and downed the rest of her drink. "This just makes me want to kill Klaus more, none of this would be happening if it wasn't for him."

I placed my hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry we'll get him."

She pretended not to listen and waved over the waiter. "Get me a bottle of Vodka."

He nodded and left to get her order.

"We should take you back to the boarding house, everyone's worried."

She shook her head. "I need some time to think. Just wait a bit."

I nodded as the waiter came back with her drink.

I got up. "I'll be right back, I need to talk to Jeremy."

She nodded and grabbed the bottle.

I turned and walked outside to see Jeremy talking on the phone. "She seems fine… no I don't know if she knows, I didn't ask."

I took the phone from him and put it to my ear. "She knows."

"What? How does she know?" Stefan asked.

"I don't know but she knows and she's here getting drunk, blaming herself for not being here. If you have something to do about it do it fast before she gets really drunk." I exclaimed.

He remained quiet for a bit before answering. "I'll be right there."

He hung up and I handed the phone back to Jeremy. "We need to get in there and make sure she doesn't get too drunk."

He nodded and held the door open for me as I stepped back into the Grill.

Scarlett was still sitting at the same place but she wasn't drinking the Vodka, she was talking to John Gilbert.

She looked about ready to strangle him and looked very relieved when she caught sight of them. John noticed us as we walked closer to her and smiled at us. "Hey guys, I was just talking to Scarlett here."

Scarlett narrowed her eyes at him. "I think it's time you leave John; I don't think it's right for me to kill you in a public place. Too many witnesses, but I'm sure I could make it look like a heart attack if I had too."

He stood up. "Fine, but consider what I'm telling you. Don't know when that information will be needed."

She put on an obviously fake smile. "And when I do, you'll be the last I call. Right down there with Kat and Isobel, five places bellow Satan." She grabbed the Vodka. "Now if you don't mind, you interrupted my thinking."

He sighed and looked back at us. "I'd keep an eye on her if I were you." Without another word he headed for the door and left.

"What did he want?" I asked her.

"Same thing everyone wants, give me something in exchange for my help." She sipped at the bottle and swallowed. "I for one know exactly where he can shove that proposal."

"Exchange something?" Jeremy asked, sitting in his seat.

She nodded. "Yes, depends on what they have. Some give me help in return, some give me information and some I owe favors. That's just how it works with me."

I sat down. "And exactly what did he want help with?"

She shrugged. "How should I know, probably something to do with Elena or Isobel. Maybe Katherine, but one can never see through all the lies and deception." She again put the bottle to her mouth and continued drinking.

I grabbed the bottle. "Okay, I think you've had enough to drink."

She sighed but let me take the bottle. "I don't usually drink, but I needed it right now. Actually, the last time I got drunk was when my parents died; almost drowned myself with it, too."

She put her head in her hands and groaned. "You see, I always put the people I care about in danger. That's why I leave, so I don't get too attached when I lose someone. It hurts less that way."

I set the bottle on the counter and felt bad for her. "But that's why you have people to love, so you can be there for them and they will do the same."

She looked up at me. "But is it really worth it, knowing you might lose them any second."

I smiled. "Yes, it's always worth it."

She sighed. "That's what I thought before he came and destroyed everything." She clenched her fists. "I want him dead, Bonnie. He deserves to feel the pain that he's caused all of us, because of him my family is destroyed."

Jeremy looked over at me and pointed over to the door, I turned and saw that Stefan was standing there looking at us. I motioned for him to come over and talk to Scarlett.

Scarlett also noticed him and turned her head back to the counter. She grabbed the bottle back and took one last sip before closing it up. "Do you guys mind if I talk to him alone?"

"No not at all." Jeremy stood up and I followed him out the door.

I stopped to talk to Stefan. "I feel so bad for her, let's hope you can help."

He nodded before walking towards her. "I'll try."

For some reason I'm quite ashamed of this chapter, but I needed to do this for story's purposes like certain revaluations...

Anyways, I've had tons of experience with drunk people to know that this is what they always do. Yes they start crying for some reason! DX

So now I have things to say; lol I know, right? I would have stayed too and watched. And also I WANT DAMON TO FIND OUT TOO!

But I can't because that would make it too easy, that and I have no idea how to reveal it!

So any suggestions or just want to give me support for the story REVIEW!
