11. Our Town

Chapter 11: Our Town

Damon was in the shower grinning like an idiot as he cleans himself off after last night. -I kiss her and she didn't push me away.- he tells himself over and over.

~.~.~.~.~

Samathea was in Alaric's apartment as she was punching and kicking at the punching back, hatting herself, -What the hell was I thinking, kissing him like that?!- she snaps as she throws a high kick.

Then Alaric walks into the room, seeing her working out, "You're going to put a hole in that thing." he tells her, walking up to her, Samathea gave another kick and Alaric catches it. "Want to talk about it?" he asks her, she shook her head, "There's nothing to talk about." she answers throwing punches at it.

~.~.~.~.~

Damon walks out of the bathroom, towel around his waist, whistling to himself, then saw Stefan sat in the doorway. "Morning." Damon tells him, "You're late, suppose to meet Bonnie at the old witch house in ten minutes." Stefan tells him, then Damon stops and looks at him, "Relax brother, what are you here to fall out?" Damon asks him in a chipper mood.

"Would you hurry up, we have work to do." Stefan tells him, "You know, Klaus isn't going to spontaneously self destruct." Stefan informs him as Damon nods and remind grinning. Stefan notices this, "Why are you all chipper?" Stefan asks, "No reason. Be with you in a minute." Damon answers then walks to his closet.

~.~.~.~.~

Samathea continues to throw punches at the bag, "So what's got you all work up?" Alaric asks her, "I… didn't really sleep last night." she answers him, not really wanting to tell anyone what she allow Damon to kiss her. "Yeah me, nether, probably has something to do with dying." he tells her, she stops and looks at him, "Are you okay?" she asks him.

"Yeah, I'm fine, whatever you did, it really work." he tells her, she sighs and looks at her hands. "I really don't know what I did, just glad it help." she tells him, "But I think the ring is running low on battery." Alaric adds, "That's another reasons why Elena and I wanted Jeremy to leave town. If those rings have an expiration date coming up, he's not protected and neither are you." she tells him, then twist and threw a high kick.

Making Alaric groan as he steps back, "Nice, you and Elena are getting stronger." he complements her, she smiles as she pulls off her gloves. "Just channeling my frustrations." she answers him, panting softly. Then she sighs, "I need coffee." she states, walking over to the counter and places her gloves on it. Alaric moves away from the punching bag. "Look like Damon's compulsion work, Jeremy was packing in the house, going on about his new school in Denver." Alaric tells her, Samathea stiffens at that the mention of Damon, "So have you un… talk to Damon today?" she asks him, pouring herself some coffee.

Samathea then turns to him, "No, why?" he asks her, she clear throat, then brushes back her hair behind her ear, "No reason." she answers, taking a sip.

Samathea and Elena were decorating Caroline's locker for her birthday, "Think that's enough?" Samathea asks, as Elena look closer, "Yeah that's enough." she tells her, the two laugh at that, then Bonnie walks up to them, "Sorry I was late, I got held up." Bonnie tells them.

"It's okay, we just got here too." Elena tells her, "Can you pass us the balloons?" Samathea asks and Bonnie does so, "Thanks." Samathea states as she tapes them to the locker, "What got you running so late?" Elena asks her, "I uh… was working on some new spells." she answers them, Samathea finishes, "You?" she asks them, "Working out with Alaric." they both answers her, she nods at them then she held up a 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROLINE' Elena takes it, "So… I have something I need to tell you… and you're not going to like it." Samathea starts as Elena finishes with the sign.

"What happen?" Bonnie asks her, Samathea hesitated to tell her, but then licks her lips, "Jeremy's going to be leaving for a while. He's going to be staying with some old family friends in Denver until the whole Klaus thing blows over." she tells her, "Jeremy wouldn't just leave you and Elena to deal with Klaus on your own." Bonnie tells them. Samathea looks to the ground and then back to her, "I know, I ask Damon to compel him." she tells her and Bonnie looks at her in shock. "What?" she questions, "I know, but it's not safe for him anymore. Leaving will give him a better life and the only reason I'm telling you is because I know you haven't work out your problems and I thought maybe… you would want to work out your problems." Samathea tells her.

Bonnie just smiles softly then looks over seeing Jeremy talking with a friend.

~8~8~8~

Caroline deiced to skip school and head home, so she walks into her house and toss her keys to the counter, but then suddenly, Matt, Bonnie, Elena and Samathea jump out and shouted "Surprise!" she tells them, making her jump a little, they all laugh. "Happy birthday." Matt said, Samathea brushes her hair out of her face. "What are you guys doing here?" Caroline asks them. "Well you blew off school and miss out work of birthday art, so uh…" Elena states, pulling off her crown.

Then places it on Caroline's head. "Change into warmer clothes, we're going to the Falls." Elena tells her. "S'mores, Campefire." Bonnie said, "Cake." Samathea throws in, "Except with Tequila." Matt adds as well, making Caroline laugh a little. "Thanks Guys, really. Uh, I'm just not really feeling my birthday this year." she tells them, "I'm sorry what? You've already claim that your birthday is everyone's favorite day of the year." Bonnie tells her, "She's right you know." Samathea throws in, "Yeah and it's just a reminder that technically, I'm dead." Caroline throws at her, "Ooh, that's a good point as well." Samathea mumbles and Elena smacks her shoulder.

Samathea looks at her and shrugs. "Look, I don't look 17, and the point of was to get to 18, it's a filler year and I'm stuck in a Filler year." she tells him, bit Samathea shook her head. "You're not stuck Caroline…" Elena starts. "Yeah I am and it's okay. You know, it's all going to be fine, but I just need some time to wellow in it." Caroline tells them. Elena looks at Samathea and she nods at her then Elena looks back at Caroline, "Okay, then we have another idea." she said with a smirk.

~8~8~8~

Klaus was inside of the mansion that was being build as then Daniel walks up to him with a bag that was bloody "What do you what done with this?" he asks him, "Just get rid of it. Burn it, I honestly don't care Daniel." Klaus answers him, then Daniel walks off as Klaus and Taylor steps up to him. "You called. I'm here." he said and Klaus looks at him.

And then Taylor looks down at blood stain on the floor, "What happened?" Taylor asks him, "What happened is Stefan has two paths in front of him and he choice the one that made me angry, I need you to help me do something about that." Klaus tells him, "Can't you just leave me out of it?" Taylor questions him, "What would be the point in that?" Klaus asks him. "Seriously man, can't you just get one of your other hybrids to do your bidding. I'd lost my friends, my girlfriend…" Taylor starts. Then Klaus steps to him, "Right, your girlfriend. Um, about her. I need you to bite her." Klaus tells him, "What?" Taylor exclaims.

"Don't make me repeat myself." Klaus said to him, "A hybrid bite will kill a vampire." Taylor tells him and Klaus nods at him. "Well I know what it will do exactly. Stefan push me too far and so I want to push him back." Klaus tells him, "I am not biting Caroline." Taylor rejects the task. "Taylor, I've been supernaturally bless with the good fortune of a sire-bond to you. So one could consider this, your undying loyalty to the task." Klaus said to him. Then Taylor steps up to him, "What the hell is wrong with you? I am not hurting Caroline." Taylor tells him again.

Klaus just smiles at him, "Alright, alright. A little disappointed, but it's your choice, free will and all that. I'll find another way to strike at Stefan. You can go now." Klaus tells him. Taylor then turns and leaves. But outside the mansion in construction, Serena was leaning against the wall, her arms cross and a determined look on her face.

~8~8~8~

Later that night, Elena, Samathea, Caroline, Matt and Bonnie walk into the cemetery, "There it is." Elena said and they walk into the tomb "This is creepy, even for us." Bonnie tells them and Elena giggles. "I know and Caroline was right. Technically, she's dead." Elena said and Samathea rubs Caroline's shoulders. "Sorry." Elena said to her, setting the box down. "But you don't need a birthday Care. You need a funeral. You need to move from your old life and start your new one." Samathea tells her, Caroline smirks at her.

Then at Elena and then Matt as he was smiling at her. "Okay." she said, taking off her crown. Then places it at the side, "Here lies Caroline Forbes." Caroline starts. "Cheerleader, Miss Mystic Falls, third grade hop scotch champion." Elena tells her as she sets the candles and Samathea walks over to her. "Friend, daughter, overachiever." Bonnie throws in. "Mean girl. sometimes no offense." Matt said as he chuckles a little, then Caroline chuckles. "Ah, none taken." Caroline said. "She was seventeen and she had a really good life. So rest in peace, so she can move forward." Samathea said as the candles were set and she took the cake to her. Caroline smiles at her, "It's what you really need, it's what we all really need." Samathea tells them and Caroline smiles at her. "Amen… or cheers." she said in confusion and they just laugh. "Um… Sammy…" Elena states, "Oh, right." Samathea said. Holding the cake with one hand and then she snaps her fingers and they were all light.

"Thank you." Elena tells her, Samathea smiles at her and nods her head, then they turn back to Caroline. "Make a wish." Elena tells her, Caroline smiles at her and then closes her eyes and blew out the candles.

~8~8~8~

Damon and Alaric were at the fundraiser for the Wickery Bridge, Alaric looks at the model as Damon walks up to him, "This is the place where Jeremy, Elena and Samathea Gilbert's parents died in a car accident." Damon tells him as he looks at the model as well, then Alaric looks at him then back at the model. "Something's up with her, Samathea I mean." he starts.

"Something more than usual." he adds and looks at Damon, who knew what he meant. "Do you know what it is?" he asks him, Damon just plays it cool. "You can hardly tell what's bothering that girl, but I'm pretty sure it starts with a Ste and ends with a fan." Damon answers him and downs his drink. "I'm gonna get a drink, write a check and then we're out." Damon tells him and walks off.

~8~8~8~

Caroline handed Matt a peace of cake, he takes it happily then reaches down for the bottle of Tequila in between Bonnie, Elena and Samathea. "Ah, ah. I need it more than you do, trust me." Elena tells him, taking the bottle from him, Samathea shook her head at her and takes a bite out of her cake, Matt just walks away and sat next to Bonnie, then Elena looks over at Caroline who was on her cell. "Caroline, what are you doing?" she asks, getting Caroline to look away from her cell and at her. "Hm? What? Nothing." Caroline answers her, lowering her cell. Bonnie, Matt and Samathea looks at her as well. "Okay. You're a bad sober liar, even worse drunk liar." Elena points out which wasn't a lie at all, "I might of texted Taylor." she answers her, Samathea nods as she places her plate to the side and Elena gave her the bottle of Tequila, Samathea looks at it then handed it to Matt.

"Oh give her a break, you can't control everything she does." Bonnie tells Elena, and Samathea looks at her, 'uh-oh' she mumbles then looks at Matt, who caught her drift. "Ouch, Bonnie." Elena mumbles, "Oh come on, Bonnie." Matt warns her then Bonnie held a serious look on her face as Matt stood up and walk away. "I'm sorry, I know it's Caroline's birthday or funeral or whatever… but, I just feel that's it's really wrong that you can just compel Jeremy to leave town." Bonnie snaps at the twin. Samathea stiffens in her spot, "We were protecting him, Bonnie. We want to give him a chance at a happily normal live." Elena defends her and Samathea. "He should be able to choose how he wants to live it and you're taking his choices away." Bonnie snaps.

"Bonnie you can't tell him." Samathea begs her, then Bonnie turns her attention to her, "Why are you going to set me on fire?" she snaps at her and a tear streams down Samathea's cheek. "You know, you're ruining a perfectly good funeral." Matt cuts in. Bonnie stops with her glaring, "I'm sorry." she tells Caroline, "I'm gonna go sleep it off or something." Bonnie tells her and then left.

~8~8~8~

Elena, Matt, Samathea and Caroline were laughing at the old times, "IT was hilarious when Sammy got drunk." Elena laughs, Samathea pouts. "No it wasn't, I could leave my room for the past three weeks, it was so embarrassing." Samathea defends herself.

But then the doors were open as Taylor appeared, Matt stood up and the three look over at him, "Sorry, I hope I didn't crash the party." Taylor tells them, "Oh." Matt said in a dull tone, then Caroline pulls herself up from Elena's lap, "No, it's okay." Caroline tells him as she stood in front of Taylor, then turns to him. "Um… hi." she said to him, as Samathea kept her gaze on him. "Can I talk to you for a second? It's kinda of important." Taylor tells her as Matt looks away. Caroline thought to herself for a moment then nods at him and they both left and Matt took a seat.

Elena then turns to him, "Are you okay?" she asks, handing him the Tequila, he takes it. "Yeah. I want her to be happy, you know." he tells her and then gulps a few of the Tequila. The twins looks at him, "It what I want for all of you guys, with this crazy life that you're all stuck in." he said and gulps a few more and Samathea tilts her head to the side. "Is that how you see it, that we're stuck?" she answers him, Matt pulls the bottle away from him and looks at her. "I'd say it attract to all of you pretty tight, so yeah." he answers her. He then handed the bottle to her and she looks down at it, "Bonnie was right, I have no business messing in Jeremy's head." Samathea starts.

Elena looks at her, placing her hand on Samathea's shoulder, as Matt smirks a little, "I just didn't know what to do, it was in danger here. I can't loose anyone else that I love." she tells them, lifting her head up, meeting them in their eyes. "Come on, lets go find Caroline so we can tease about the time you were twelve." Matt tells her, then Samathea gasp in a playful surprise, then places the Tequila down. "That was not funny that time." she tells him, Elena then giggles and they left the tomb in look for Caroline.

~8~8~8~

"Caroline!" Matt calls out as he shines his light, Elena scoffs as Samathea held up her hand with a fireball in it. "Great, we've been abandon." Elena states. "It's great in all that we're going on a search party, but I do not trust her to get back together with him." Samathea states, Elena nods at her as she pulls her jacket closer to her. "Caroline!" Matt calls out again, "Come on Caroline, we're out of drinks and Matt's getting haunted by the Fell ghost." Elena teases him, Samathea giggles, but then Matt was thrown at the tomb wall, Samathea gasp.

Then shot her hand at Elena. Making her gasp as she flies backwards and hits the ground. Samathea then turns back and her mouth was covered, making her extinguish the flame in her hand. She was in shock as she saw it was Stefan. Elena sat up and looks around, "Sam?" she calls out, then crawls over to Matt and pulls him over. "Ow, that hurts." he mumbles and she pulls him to his feet, "You okay?" she answers him, "I will be." he answers and then Elena looks around. "Sam!" she calls out and Matt looks around as well. "Sam!"

~8~8~8~

Stefan drove his car down the road with Samathea in the passenger seat, "Stefan, what are you doing?" she questions him and then her cell rings. She reaches into her pocket and saw the caller, she goes to answer the cell. But Stefan took her phone from her and answers it. "Hello Damon, she can't come to the phone right now." Stefan answers. "Why the hell do you have Sam's phone?" Damon asks him. "Making my next move. Let me asks you something, what's Klaus going to do if he can't make anymore hybrids?" Stefan asks and looks at Samathea.

"What?" Samathea asks in horror, then started to pull on the handle of the door, but it was lock. "Stefan, leave her out of this." Damon tells him, "Damon!" Samathea calls out but Stefan hung up and threw her cell out the window. "What are you doing?!" Samathea snaps at him as he rolls up his window, "Stefan let me out of this car, now." she orders but he ignores her. "Fine, I'll do it myself." she said and then raise her hand, but thing happened. She then saw a silver cuff bracelet on her wrist, she pulls her arm close and looks at it. "Oh, by the way. I slip that on you when you weren't looking, renders you powerless. And the best part is, you can't take it off, someone besides you can." Stefan informs her and speeds up. Samathea shook her head and sat back and tries and breaks the cuff off her wrist, but it wouldn't budge.

~8~8~8~

Damon pulls Klaus off into another room, "What is it now, you just pulled me away from a fascinating conversation about re-landscaping the town square." Klaus tells him as Damon closes the doors and turns back to him.

"Stefan just grab Samathea." Damon tells him and Klaus turns back to him, "He's getting desperate." he said and looks at a few flowers. "He's going to try and use her against you, just do what he says, get rid of your hybrids." Damon tells him and Klaus looks at him. "Or what?" Klaus questions him. Then stood up, "Stefan would never dream off of hurting his girl's sister." he adds and turns his back to him. "Really, because he just behead somebody in the middle of a council party. He's operating on crazy right now." Damon tells him.

Klaus just smiles at him and turns back to Damon, "Well crazy or not, that kind of love never dies. Believe me I know. He's bluffing." Klaus states, taking a step forward. "Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. If you don't want to believe him believe me." Damon starts as he walks up to him, "I know my brother better than anyone and right now, I don't have a clue on how far he's willing to take this. If he says blink, I suggest you blink."

~8~8~8~

Elena and Matt run up to Caroline's house, "Sheriff Forbes!" Matt calls out as Elena bangs on the door. Caroline's mom turns to the door, walks to it as Elena opens the door, "What happened?" she asks them. "Taylor bit her." Elena asks as they heard for the Caroline's room. "Oh God, sweetheart." Liz mumbles as Matt carries her into her room and lays her down, Caroline moans in pain as she was set down.

Matt and Elena moves away from her, then Caroline's mother sits down next to her, "Caroline, honey. Can you hear me?" she asks her, Caroline cries. "I'm sorry, mommy." Caroline tells her, "She's been hallucinating or something, I don't know." he tells her, then Elena walks around the bed and sat on the other side. "Care…" she mumbles and then grips her hand, "It's alright, sweetheart." Caroline's mom tells her and looks at the bit mark as it was getting worse. Caroline pants heavily as she tries to breath.

~8~8~8~

Stefan drove down the road, "So what's the plan, Stefan? What's the big move you're making?" Samathea snaps at him, then Stefan looks at her, "I took Klaus's family to make him suffer, I tried to find Serena, but she was nowhere to be find. So I took you instead to make him suffer more." he answers her. "So what are you going to do, lock me in some cave and keep me hostage?" she questions him.

He looks at her, "I just might make you into a vampire instead." he answers her, she then looks at him in horror. "Stop the car, Stefan!" she shouts, he just turns back to the road, "Stop the car, Stefan!" she shouts again, but he just pulls out his cell instead, quick dials someone, then places it on speaker and set the phone on the dashboard. "Stefan. How nice to hear your voice." Klaus answers. Samathea pants softly, "Tell your hybrids to get out of town." Stefan orders him, "Well that's not going to happen until I get my coffins back." Klaus answers him, Samathea looks over at Stefan as tears form in her eyes. "Okay, well, I'm going to drive your blood source off Wickery Bridge." he tells him. Samathea then gasp in fear.

"I don't believe you Stefan, you won't kill her." Klaus calls him out. Stefan then smirks to himself. He then bites his wrist, pulls his hands form the steering wheel and presses his wrist to Samathea's mouth. "No!" she shouts, but he force his blood down her throat and then pulls away, gripping the steering wheel. Samathea coughs violently as air rushes back into her lungs. "What are you doing?" she whimpers. "What's going on?" Klaus asks him, "I just feed her my blood. No more hybrids if she's a vampire." Stefan answers him. "You won't do that." Klaus calls out again as he was loosing edge. "Try me, because your coffins are next to go." Stefan tells him again Samathea then looks ahead and her heart stop; Wickery Bridge. "Say good-bye to your family, Klaus." Stefan said and then pulls it into forth gear, speeding up. Jerking Samathea into her seat, "Stefan, slow down!" Samathea begs him, "Stefan, Stefan stop it! I don't want to die!" Samathea shouts again, "Fine, have it your way, you win." Klaus gives into Stefan's threat and demand. But Stefan didn't stop.

"Stefan! STEFAN!" Samathea screams as they were on the bridge, "Stop the car Stefan!" Klaus tells him and then Stefan slams on the brakes, making Samathea scream for mercy as they screech to a complete stop. Klaus then hung up as Samathea was panting. She then looks over at Stefan as he was panting as well, tears started to stream down her face as she was now just scared of him. She then opens the door, stepping out of the car, wiping the blood from her mouth as well and slams the door behind her then started to walk. Stefan steps out as well, "Get back in the car." he tells her, following her, "Just stay away from me!" she cries. "Samathea, get in the car!" Stefan shout at her. "HOW COULD YOU!?" she snaps at him as she turns back to him, making him stop.

"My parents died going over this bridge, Elena and I almost died her. You knew that, you're the one that saved us." she cries. "He had to believe I would do it, your fear convince him." Stefan tells him, "But what if he hadn't?" she questions. "But he did." Stefan answers, "But what if he hadn't?!" she questions again, "But he did! Samathea, he has a weakness, if I know his weakness. I can destroy him. You are Serena's doppelganger, you are Serena in his eyes, he wouldn't let you die!" Stefan snaps at her. She shifts in her spot, "And after everything, that's what mattered. Destroying Klaus?" she questions and turns away from him as she walks a few steps.

"Destroying Klaus is all I have left." he answers her, she then turns back to him, "You had me! You had Elena!" she snaps at him, "I lost the both of you the minute I left town with him and Serena." he said to her, she just looks at him as tears stream down her face. "You both just haven't admit that to yourselves." he adds. "Is that what you're doing, trying to make me hate you?" she asks him, "I don't care about what you think of me anymore." he tells her, stepping back, then steps back to the car, got inside, started it up and left Samathea on the bridge. She watches him leave, then looks down at her bracelet then grunts as she tries to pull it off, but failed, then press herself against the railing and screams at the top of her lungs.

~8~8~8~

Matt walks to the door and saw Serena was standing on the other side, he then opens the door, "I heard what happened and I should have been there to stop it." she tells him, "Klaus made him to this to her, he would of never do this." Matt tells her, she nods at him, "Yes I know, that is why I'm here. I want to help her, my blood can heal her, please sheriff, invite me inside." Serena tells her.

Caroline's mom and Elena was standing by Caroline's room, Matt then turns to her. "Can't you come and go as you please?" she asks her, Serena nods her head at her, "Yes, I can. But I prefer to be invited inside." she answers. Elena crosses her arms as Caroline's mother looks at Serena and sighs. "Come in." she said to her and Serena took a step inside. "Matt." she bows her head to him and walks over to Caroline's room, "Elena." she said, passing the older Gilbert twin.

Serena steps inside and Caroline opens her eyes and looks at her. "Are you here to kill me?" she asks her, Serena smiles, then took a seat next to her. "No. I have no desire to harm you than you already are." she answers and brushes her hair away from her sweaty forehead. She then gently pulls the covers off her shoulder and looks at the bite. "I'm sorry you got mix in all of this. Klaus think you are collator damage." she tells her, then looks at her bracelet on her wrist. "I use love birthday, they used to be my favorite." Serena smiles sadly. Caroline chuckles dryly, "You must of seen a million of them." she states, Serena frowns, "After sleeping for thousand years, I almost miss out on all of them." she answers. "But when you became immortal, birthdays no longer hold the special meaning behind them. They just turn into another day. Some may say you're boundless, that you're free. But you're not are you?" she asks her and Caroline shook her head. "I'm dying." she answers her. "I know the feeling, when you're life is slowing slipping away from you. Like someone's hand is from your fingers and you know when they say that you see a white light to lead you to heaven." she asks her. Caroline nods at her, then Serena leans in, "Let me let onto a little secret. There is no white light, there's just darkness, complete and utter darkness." she tells her and then leans back, "And you don't have to face that darkness, all you have to do is say the word." she tells her.

Caroline looks at her and blinks a few times, "I don't don't want to die." she mumbles, Serena nods at her and then pulls off her jacket, exposing her arms. She then gently grips the back of her head, moving her close then held her wrist in front of her mouth. "Here you go." she whispers and then Caroline bites into her wrist, drinking her blood.

~8~8~8~

Damon and Samathea walk up the porch to the Gilbert house, "Thanks for picking me up and getting the bracelet off." she tells him, "No problem." he tells her and saw the look on her face. "Are you going to be okay?" he asks her then turns to him. "I'll survive. Somehow I always do." she answers him, as he was facing her. "You know Stefan won this round for us today." he tells her and she looks at him then rolls her eyes.

"He push Klaus over the edge. He blink." he tells her as she turns away from him. He stop as she steps away from him, then turns back to him, "Well his method suck." she states. He nods at her, "I know, but we needed it. Klaus was calling all the shots and Stefan beat him at his own game. He was the better villain." Damon tells her and she steps to him, "Don't sound so impressed." she tells him, he shrugs at her. "Well, can't help but be a little proud." he said with his infamous smirk.

Samathea rolls her eyes at him, "But really hey…" he mumbles and then places two fingers under her chin and she look up at him, "Are you going to be okay?" he asks her, gently stroking his thumb against her chin, she looks into his eyes and sighs. "You can't kiss me again." she tells him and he nods at her. "I know." he tells her. But then she gently grips his arm, "I can't, it doesn't feel right." she tells him, pulling his hand away. "I get it, just not right now." he said and she looks at him, not wanting to get his meaning. "Good night." he said to her, she nods at him. "Good night Damon." she whispers at him and walks to the door, stepping inside.

Damon then turns and walks off, Samathea then turns back and watches him leave, she sighs, hating the warm feeling in her heart and then closes the door.

~8~8~8~

Later the next day, Elena and Samathea were at the door with Jeremy as Samathea was hugging Jeremy tightly. "Okay, you're going to have to let me go eventually." he tells her and then Samathea pulls away from him. "Be safe, okay." she tells him. He nods at her, "Yeah, okay, alright. Look Alaric's waiting." he tells her, she moves away from him. Then Elena gave him a hug as well.

She then moves away from him and then he moves over and picks up his suit-case and makes his way out the door. But then Bonnie ran up to the doorway, "Oh good, you haven't left yet." she pants. He looks at her, "Hey what are you doing here?" he asks her, Bonnie looks over at Samathea, she just rubs her arm and looks away from her. Ashamed. Then Bonnie looks back at him, "I came to say good-bye." she answers him, he smiles at her and then pulls her into his arms and she gave him a hug. Elena grips Samathea's shoulders as the two pulled away, Jeremy then pulls his bag over his shoulder and took a stop outside the door. He then stops and looks at the three. They smiled at him and he walks off, leaving Mystic Falls.

~8~8~8~

Caroline then woke up the next morning, she stretches as she sat up and rubs her neck, then realizes that the wound was already healed. She sighs, then looks over at her stand and saw a small white box. She takes a hold of it and read the letter.

-From Serena.- it said and she places it on the side and opens it, then was in awe; white earrings that were literally glowing. She smiles a little.

~8~8~8~

Matt walks up to the bridge and then stops next to Elena who was standing next to the railing and Samathea who was sitting on the railing. "You're not going to jump are you?" he asks them. Samathea smirks at the idea and then Elena places her hand on his shoulder. "Thanks for coming." she said to him as Samathea looks down at water then steps down. "We've been thinking about what you said, about what it's like being stuck." Elena tells him, "I was buzzed. I can't be held responsible for being judge mental." he tells them and Samathea sighs as she steps back to Elena, "We do feel stuck, Matt. I feel like – we feel like we're holding onto the two girls that were suppose to die here with their parents. The two girls that had normal lives, who didn't get involved with vampires. And where the younger twin was human." Samathea states, Elena looks at the ground, brushing her hair back. And Matt look at the both of them.

"You're not those girls anymore." he tells them and they look at him. "It's okay if you want to let me go." he adds. "Is it?" Elena asks him, the shot a look at Samathea and looks back at Matt, "Because we feel like we've disappointed them a little, like… if we disappointed them. Our parents." Elena tells him. Matt looks down then at them, "Well for my two sense…" he starts and they both look at him, "Is the guy that knew those two other girls. You both are doing a lot better then you think." he tells them and they smile at him a little. He then reaches down and pulls a few dandelions out and held them.

"Here lays Elena Gilbert and Samathea Gilbert. A fun girlfriend, a rock-ass friend. And they were both amazing friends." Matt said, getting both of them to smile at him. He then tosses the dandelions into the river and they floated down stream.
