AN: I do not own the Vampire Diaries; all rights belong to the CW, Julie Plec, Kevin Williamson, and L.J. Smith, I only own what you don't recognize.

Full Summary: Bulgaria 1492 Katrina and Elizabeth Petrova; identical twins, except for one difference; their eyes. While Katrina had warm brown eyes, Elizabeth had eyes the color of shocking lapis lazul. When Katrina had a child out of wedlock, her family banished her to Europe; not wanting her twin to be alone Elizabeth followed her. Once in England the two easily became English and one of the Lords that resigned there took surprising interest in Katrina's looks and Elizabeth's powers. Modern day; Elena and Aileen Joelle aka A.J. Gilbert exact copies of Katrina and Elizabeth. After the deaths of their parents A.J. fled to a preforming arts school in Boston and Elena stayed home with what remained of her family.

THIS IS IMPORTANT! Okay so some of you are saying that A.J. forgave Damon really easily, but you are wrong. A.J. is going to harbor that grudge for a while. How long? I don't have that planned yet. Let me look through my notes and get back to you ;) It won't be outright there but you'll see it as the story goes on in tiny things. Anyway, Enjoy!

The Secrets of the Girl

Chapter Twelve

BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON

A.J. POV

As I was getting dressed my phone rang. I pulled my shirt over my head and answered it, "Hello?" I said not bothering to check the ID.

"A?" Tyler's voice asked.

"Hey, Ty, what's up?" I asked slipping on my leather jacket and shaking my hair out.

I heard him take a shaky breath, "Tonight's the full moon." He said and I froze, "Caroline's helping me."

"W-what do you mean helping you?" I asked sitting down on my bed.

"I think it would be better to tell you in person, at the old cellar?" Ty suggested.

I ran a hand through my hair, "Yeah…yeah, I'll be there." I said, "Bye Ty."

"Bye A." Tyler said before hanging up.

I shakily took a deep breath before donning a smirk and going into Elena's room where her and Bonnie were arguing about something. "Argue much?" I teased as Jere came in behind me.

"They want to take the spell off the stone." Elena told me.

"What! You guys; Klaus will kill us!" I snapped.

"But this way there's no sacrifice-"

"And Klaus becomes angry which means we'll be dead anyway." I snapped before storming down the stairs.

Bonnie came down after me as I grabbed my keys, "A-"

"Bye." I called over my shoulder as I left.

"You trapped them in the house?" I heard Stefan say as I made my way down the tomb steps.

"It's for the best trust me." Damon said.

"Who's trapped in whose house?" I asked coming into view of the brothers.

"Why are you here?" Damon demanded.

"Ouch, that really hurts." I returned sarcastically before walking over to the tomb entrance, "Hey, Stef." I said brightly.

"Anyway, the twins are on martyr missions that rival your greatest hits and are both supposed to be in the house. You should be glad the witch and I are getting along. I brought you this," Damon said throwing a duffle over to Stefan as he walked up next to me, "Care package; candles, lanterns, and…lunch." He said pulling out a water bottle of blood.

"You give me that and I'll just have to share with her." Stefan pointed out as Katherine appeared in the back of the entryway.

I smirked at the bitch and waved, "You know you three are surprisingly calm considering Klaus will hunt you down and kill you if you mess with his little plan." Katherine said.

"I've been dead before, I got over it." Damon said making me smirk wider as the bitch's expression dropped.

"Don't worry, Stef, me and Dr. Doom here will get you out." I said smiling at my bestest friend.

Stefan smiled back, "Don't worry about me; just make sure the twins are safe." Stefan said to Damon.

I saw Katherine roll her eyes and my smile widened. Damon grabbed my arm and I frowned up at him as he led me away from Stefan. Damon sighed and let go of me, "One time only." He said.

I grinned and hugged Stefan tightly, "Just remember Elena's waiting for you out here." I whispered into his ear before pulling back and hurrying over to where Damon was waiting for me.

Damon was silent until we got to the top of the tomb steps, "We need to talk." He said stopping me in my tracks.

"About what your self destructiveness?" I asked crossing my arms.

Damon sighed, "I'm sorry-"

"No," I said cutting him off, "You don't say that you're sorry until you mean it."

Damon sighed, this time out of frustration. "I need to go check on Elena." I said sidestepping him.

Damon grabbed my arm and turned me to face him. I looked at him confused as he searched my face before leaning in and kissing my forehead gently. I sighed and wrapped my arms around his waist as his slipped over my shoulders. Damon rubbed soothing circles on my back and I pulled back reluctantly, "C'mon let's go visit the not as smart martyr." I said walking over to my motorcycle.

Damon and I walked into my house and over to the living room where Elena was sitting on the couch, "You should really lock your door." Damon said as I sat down next to Elena, "Oh c'mon pouty, at least give me two points for ingenuity." He teased.

"Do you think this is funny?" Elena asked coldly as I started braiding her hair.

"Yes, Elena, I take hilarity in the lengths I have to go to repeatedly save your lives." Damon replied sarcastically.

Elena scoffed, "What does Stefan say about this?" She asked.

"We had a good laugh about it." I said smirking at her.

"You got to see him?" She asked with a hurt look, "Why?"

"Because I didn't try to steal the moonstone." I said sticking my tongue out at her.

Elena rolled her eyes, "Okay what did he say about Elijah still being alive?" She asked as Damon sat down next to me.

"Yeah…that; I didn't tell him." He said putting his arm around my shoulders.

"Why not?" Elena asked.

"Well A.) He can't do anything about it," I said rolling my eyes at her.

"And B.)…..what she just said." Damon said smirking at her as Jeremy came in.

"Where's Bonnie?" Damon asked looking at me.

"How would I know?" I asked crossing my arms.

"Well because you're the psychic." Damon said in a duh tone.

"Well you're the vampire protector person; you are supposed to know these things." I pointed out.

"I thought she was meeting you." Jeremy said interrupting us.

"No, she's on moonstone duty and I'm on A.J. and Elena patrol." Damon said smirking at me.

"Then who's on Tyler Lockwood and the full moon?" Jeremy asked making my heart skip a beat.

"Vampire Barbie asked if she could handle it and I said why not? I figured if she screwed up he'd bite her and I'd be rid of two of my problems." Damon said with an innocently sweet smile.

I turned my head so I could glare at him. "Wait tonight's a full moon?" Elena asked as Damon's phone began to ring.

"Yes, but-"

"You're too absorbed in your suicidal tendencies to notice." Damon finished, "What?" He snapped into the phone.

I rolled my eyes, "Yep he's a keeper." Elena said sarcastically.

"Hey don't take out your bitterness on me." I said poking her in the nose.

"Change of plans." Damon said coming back into the room and grabbing me off the couch so he could throw me over his shoulder.

"Damon!" I yelled in protest.

"You babysit Elena." Damon told Jeremy.

"Let me down!" I whined.

He did as I told him and I walked around to his back and jumped on piggy back style, "Much better." I said wrapping my arms around his neck, "You know you should get out, enjoy the sun." I teased Elena, "Oh wait, you can't."

Damon laughed as he carried me out.

Damon and I walked into the Grill and over to Alaric's table, "Hey Ric." I said as a woman I had never seen before walked in and started talking to Matt.

"Hmmm, Mason's mystery woman." Damon remarked.

"Where is Mason anyway?" Ric asked Damon.

"Decomposing in his truck." Damon replied making my nose wrinkle.

"What?" He asked seeing my movement.

"He used to babysit me, that's all," I said shrugging it off.

"So do you think she's a werewolf?" Ric asked.

"Well I hope not seeing as tonight's a full moon." Damon said.

"I could check all I need is to touch her hand." I said.

"No absolutely not." Damon said as she sat down at the bar.

I raised an eyebrow, "Really? Watch me." I said standing up and walking over to the woman.

"Hi." I said standing next to her, "I'm A.J. Gilbert, I heard you were asking about Tyler Lockwood."

"Oh hey, I'm Jules, are you Tyler's girlfriend?" She asked gesturing for me to sit down.

"Ex, actually." I said sitting down.

"Really?" Jules asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah you know the whole best friends escalating to something more thing." I said as the bartender sat a chocolate milkshake in front of me, "Thanks Mike." I said smiling at him.

"So why are you asking about Ty?" I asked Jules taking a sip of my milkshake.

"Do you know his uncle Mason?" She asked hesitantly.

"Yeah he used to babysit Ty and I when we were younger." I said.

"Mason's missing." Jules said.

My eyes widened, "You mean like missing, missing?" I asked.

Jules nodded and I saw the worry in her eyes, "If there's anything I can do-" I cut myself off when I touched her hand and got a vision of a wolf, "Werewolf." I stated.

"Witch." She assumed glaring at me.

I smirked, "Try psychic." I corrected her.

"Either way, tell your vampire friend that I know he's involved with Mason's disappearance and that he's been marked." She snapped before walking out.

"He's been marked? What kind of wolf crap is that?" Damon ranted as Alaric and I followed him outside.

"Damon!" I said grabbing him, "Look up! One bite, one bite is all it takes and you're dead. Go home, lock your doors and hole up for the night, okay?"

Damon nodded, "Yeah okay," He said picking me up, "Bye Ric."

Damon took off and stopped in front of the Salvatore Boarding house. My phone rang and he put me down, "Hello?" I said as Damon unlocked the front door.

"A.J., its Tyler can you come?" Caroline asked.

Fear gripped my stomach at the urgency in her voice and I looked up at Damon who nodded, "Be careful." He said.

I kissed his cheek, "Yeah I'm coming." I said to Caroline as I walked down the driveway.

I pulled out Stefan's car keys from my jacket pocket (pick pocketing is one of my many skills) and went around the garage and found his little red car.

I hiked my way to the old Lockwood property and down into the cellar. My eyes widened at the broken door and I carefully slid it open. I heard whimpers coming from inside and I followed them cautiously as I stepped around debris.

I reached an iron gate door and I opened that and peered into the darkness to see Caroline kneeling on the ground in front of the source of the whimpers, "Ty." I whispered.

Caroline looked up and smiled at me, 'He's okay.' She mouthed to me.

I kneeled down on the other side of him and took one of his hands in mine, "Hey Ty." I said gently smiling as he opened his eyes.

His body was covered in a thin sheet of sweat and his lower body was covered in a blanket Caroline had brought. I moved so he could rest his head on my lap and brought a water bottle out that I had brought with me.

Tyler trembled as he whimpered, "You're okay." I murmured stroking his hair before opening the water bottle.

"No I'm not." He whispered hoarsely.

I felt my heart rip, "Shh, you're okay." I said moving his head so I could tip some water into his mouth, "Caroline and I are gonna take care of you."

Caroline was stroking his back and murmuring to him as I continued to give him water. Every once and a while he would flinch and cry out causing both me and Caroline to flinch. I watched her as we both cared for him, she was starting to fall for him, god poor Matt.
