Mason and I spent a good half of the night cleaning up the house. I spent the night at the Lockwood's again. When I got up the next day I made breakfast. I heard someone walk downstairs, I turn to see Mason.
"Hey, I made food. I have to head over to the high school to step for the carnival, if you need anything just give me a call." I said
"Okay, and thank you for everything you did." Mason said
"When my parents died. Carol and Richard took care of me. Even after Ty and I broke up they treated me like was their daughter. When Richard died it was like I lost my dad all over again." I said
I turned and left the house. I didn't want to talk anymore. I got I my car and drove home. When I pulled in and headed inside. I heard voices in the living room, I walked in and saw Jake and Jen.
"Hey. How is Carol and Tyler?" Jake asked
"As good as two people can be after losing a father and husband. Oh and Mason's back. Hi Jen." I said
"Hey, Nevaeh." Jen said
"I got to go change then, I'm going to head to the high school to help with the carnival. You guys should stop by later." I said
I turned I head upstairs to get changed. I changed real quick then headed back downstairs.
"Bye, guys." I said
I headed out to the car and drove to the high school. When I got to the school I saw Bonnie and Elena. I quickly made my way over to them.
"Hey, guys." I said
"Hey." Bonnie and Elena said
"Katherine looks just like you, it was freakish." Bonnie said
"She is my ancestor. Hey, I moved the student booth into the cafeteria." Elena said
"Your vampire ancestor and she didn't just resemble you like a family member would." Bonnie said
"She was you." I said
"I don't know, I can't explain it. It's creepy, that's all I got." Elena said
"How do you know she's not still out there pretending to be you?" Bonnie asked
"I don't but I could sit here and be tortured by the not-knowing or I could get these prizes to the ring toss." Elena said
"Have you talked to Damon since he killed Jeremy or tried to kill Jeremy?" Bonnie asked
"Wait Damon tried to kill Damon? When did this happen?" I asked
"Last night. I didn't want to bother you while you were with Tyler and Carol." Elena said
"Okay." I said
"No Bonnie, I haven't and I won't and I don't want to talk about Damon or anything else that's vampire related okay? (She gives a bag full of plush to Bonnie) I'm human. And I have to do human stuff. Otherwise, I'm going to go crazy." Elena said
"Okay, I'm sorry, I'll focus. We have to make Caroline proud or she will kill us. I don't know how she does all of this." Bonnie said
"Lots and lots and lots of 5 hour energy's." I said
Elena and Bonnie laughed.
"That and she's not human, obviously." Elena said
"Obviously." Bonnie said
We all laughed.
"Come one guy's let's get back to work." I said
We all went back to work. Elena and I headed inside to do something. We see Jeremy and Stefan talking to each other. We walk over to them.
"Hello Elena, Nevaeh." Stefan said
"Hey, did you…" Elena said
"Yeah, yeah, I set up the gold fish toss all three hundred gold fish. (Sarcastically) It's gonna be epic." Jeremy said then turned and left.
"He's gonna be alright, he's just been through a little bit of an ordeal." Stefan said
"I was just hoping that this carnival would reel him back into the land of a high school teenager." Elena said
"That was what we were doing here?" Stefan asked
"Yes." I said
"Yes, we all are. We're going to be boring high school students who live in a world where the "v" word is not uttered." Elena said
"Got it." Stefan said
"Then later you're going to take me to the Ferris wheel, we're gonna ride to the very top and then you're gonna kiss me and my heart will flutter like a normal high school girl. Do you see a running theme here?" Elena asked
"That sounds like it's going to be fun." I said
"Yeah I know, I'm seeing it and I'm liking it but I have a quick question. Uh, what do we do about Damon?" Stefan asked
"Uh, no "D" word okay? That has been deleted from the list of topics that we can discuss." Elena said
"Leave him to me." I said
"Unfortunately Katherine showing up has been a little bit of an odd place, little off-kitter, kind of dangerous. Who knows what he's up to?" Stefan asked
"Probably something that's going to get us all into a bunch of shit." I said
I turned and walked away. My phone rang.
"Hello." I said
"Hey, it's Damon, come to the Lockwood house." Damon said
Then the line went dead. I walked into the bathroom and orbed to where Damon was.
Damon was standing on the front porch.
"You rang." I said
Damon jumped.
"Stop doing that." Damon said
We walked into the house, Carol was sitting in the living room.
"Hey, Carol." I said
"Nevaeh, thank you for breakfast." Carol said
"No problem." I said
Carol turned to Damon.
"I understand John Gilbert has left town. Have they found the vampire that attacked him?" Carol asked
"Well, the sheriff has asked Nevaeh and I to take the lead on that and I promise you we will get to the bottom of it." Damon said
"Which brings me to my next subject. With Richard gone, I'll be acting as interim mayor until the elections and I'm going to need someone to spearhead out the council. I'd like that person to be you, Damon." Carol said
"Whatever you need Carol. As a founding family member it's something that's very close to me so I would be honored to help keep this town safe from vampires." Damon said
I was standing up. When some came running up behind and picked me up and spun me around.
"Eww, eww. Put me down. You are all sweaty." I said
Someone put me down I turned around and saw Mason and Tyler.
"Your welcome." Mason said
"You two go change. You are sweaty and smell." I said
They left the room. Carol closes the door of the living room.
"Is it safe to talk?" Damon asked
"It's my brother-in-law, Mason. He's still visiting. I just don't want him to hear us. He didn't want any part of the council when he lived here and I see no reason to bring him into it now." Carol said
I am listening to Tyler and Mason's conversation.
"What was that? Like seven?" Tyler asked
"Six. I don't count the last one. You crawled it." Mason said
"What?" Tyler asked
"I think Grandma Lockwood actually passed you, in her walker." Mason said
"Yeah, okay. Shoes off. Mud…my mom…" Tyler said
"Yeah, yeah. So all this anger and aggression you're talking about, you notice a difference when you exercise?" Mason asked
"Dude, I play three varsity sports. I work out four times a week and run three. I'm gonna say no." Tyler said
"Do you have episodes? What happens exactly?" Mason asked
"Starts out normal. I get angry typically over nothing. I'm an angry guy. I know it just amplifies and I just go off. But not when I'm with Nevaeh." Tyler said
"You black out?" Mason asked
"Yeah, it's like I go blind with rage." Tyler said
"Is there a pattern? Like once a month, only at night?" Mason asked
"All I know is I lose myself, you know? For that time I become something else and I hate it." Tyler said
"More tea? Damon? Nevaeh?" Carol asked
"Oh yes, please. Thank you Carol." Damon said
"Yes Ginseng is my favorite." I said
When we were down talking, we headed to the boarding house. When we got there Damon pored a blood bag into a glass and Stefan walks in.
"Care for one?" Damon asked
"No, thank you. I'm not hungry, just ate." Stefan said
"Are you worried that one day, all the forest animals are gonna band together and fight back? I mean, surely they talk." Damon said
I laughed.
"I'm just happy that's a blood bag and not a sorority girl supplying your dinner." Stefan said
"I like this. You, walking on egg she;;s around me because you think I'm gonna explode. Very suspenseful. Is Elena worried too? I bet I'm your every conversation." Damon said
"Have you heard from Katherine?" Stefan asked
"You two need better lives." I said
"I think the Lockwood's have a family secret because the Gilbert device affected them but vervain didn't so they're not vampires, they're something else." Damon said
"This isn't what I meant." I said
"Is this your new obsession?" Stefan asked
"You'd rather some unknown supernatural element running rampant upon our town. Fine, I'll drop it." Damon said
"We haven't seen the last of Katherine, you do know that right." I said
"We have no idea what she's up to." Stefan said
"I do." I said
Damon and Stefan turned to me.
"Care to share." Stefan said
"Nope." I said
"Sure we do. She came back to profess her undying eternal love for you so I'm gonna let you deal with her because I have more important things to do like explode. Cheers." Damon said
"Oh and Damon." I said
He turned and looked at me. I conjured a stake and staked him in the stomach. He fell to his knees.
"That was for Jeremy." I said
I stepped over him.
"Don't do it again." I said
I then left the house. I orbed back to the high school, but they were black this time.
When I arrived the carnival was underway. I fund Elena talking to Bonnie and I made my way towards them.
"The ring toss is out of Bart and Homer dolls and Team Jacob T's." Bonnie said
"Okay, I can grab some from the science club. Also we lost a speaker in the karaoke booth." Elena said
"Hey, all good Elena, take a beat, look around. This is a huge success." Bonnie said
"Yeah, Caroline would be proud." I said
"You mean I can do more than wreak vampire havoc?" Elena asked
"Go figure." Bonnie said
Elena looks over at a man who is repairing one of the stands.
"Hey, Carter, right? You're with the carnival." Elena said
"That'll be men." Carter said
"Okay, great." Elena said
"(He looks at Bonnie) wow, what do you need beautiful?" Carter asked
"Smooth." I said
"What do you know about karaoke speaker?" I asked
"Why don't you show me the problem?" Carter asked
"(Motioning encouragingly with her eyes) Yeah Bonnie, show him the problem." Elena said
"Okay, come on." Bonnie said
They leave. Elena and I high five, and smile to each other. Elena and I walk around the carnival making sure everything is going smooth. I found Damon watching Tyler arm wrestling. Then I see Stefan walk up. I walk over and stand next to them.
"You're lurking." Stefan said
"I'm observing." Damon said
"More like obsessing. You need a new hobby," I said
Tyler wins.
"He's got strength." Damon said
"He's a triple letter athlete, of course he has strength. You're reaching." Stefan said
Mason arrives, he then arm wrestle against Tyler.
"I bet I can take you." Mason said
"Enter the uncle." Damon said
"Bring it on suffer boy." Tyler said
"This is ridiculous." Stefan said
Mason beats Tyler
"Okay, he's the champ, who wants to go next?" Tyler asked
"Stefan wants to go." Damon said
"Yeah, sure, I'll…give it a shot." Stefan said
"This is going to be good." I said
Stefan joins Mason.
"Get him Stef." Damon said
"My brother over there thinks I can beat you." Stefan said
"Your brother's wrong." Mason said
They start arm wrestling, both putting in hard pressure. Mason beats him. Stefan rejoins Damon.
"(Angrily) You didn't out in any effort at all." Damon said
"Yeah, actually I did." Stefan said
"My turn." I said
Mason looked my way.
"Bring it on." Mason said
I walked over to Mason and sat down. We started arm wrestling, he was strong, but I was stronger. I beat him.
"How?" Mason asked
"Skill." I said
I got up and walked away. As I was walking Damon grabbed my arm and pulled me along with him and Stefan. We enter the hallway.
"Is he…" " Damon asked
"No, no, it wasn't that kind of strength but it was more than human, if that makes sense." Stefan said
"What's up with that family? They're not vampires, what the hell are they?" Damon asked
Damon and Stefan turned and looked at me.
"You wouldn't believe if I told you." I said
"(Jokingly) Ooh, ah, maybe they're, um, ninja turtles." Stefan said
"You're not funny." Damon said
"I found it funny." I said
"Or no, zombies, werewolves." Stefan said
"Yes." I said
"No comedic timing at all." Damon said
Damon turns his head and sees Carter repairing something.
"What? What are you up to?" Stefan asked
"This is reality and there's no such thing as werewolves or…combat turtles." Damon said
"That's what you think." I said
"I said ninja turtles, actually." Stefan said
"(Damon goes toward Carter) Hey you." Damon said
"I have a name." Carter said
"Yeah I don't care. (He catches his shoulders and compels him) I need you to pick a fight with someone, a kid named Tyler Lockwood." Damon said
"Damon, don't do this." Stefan said
"I swear Damon if something happens to Tyler." I said
"Don't worry. It's just an experiment. Get him mad, don't back down no matter what he does, okay?" Damon said
"I won't back down." Carter said
"I know you won't." Damon said
Damon oats Carter on the back, and he leaves.
"Do you realize someone is going to get hurt right?" Stefan asked
"No, someone is going to get mad, as in rage." Damon said
"What's that going to accomplish?" I asked
"That Tyler kid is incapable of walking away from a fight. Let's see who intervenes; maybe it's the ambiguous, supernatural mystery uncle." Damon said
We go are separate ways. I'm talking to Elena, when Damon comes up to us.
"Elena, Nevaeh." Damon said
"What do you want, Damon?" Elena asked
"I know I'm the last person you want to see right now but I need you two to come with me." Damon said
"Whatever it is I'm not interested." Elena said
"Yeah, I need you to come with me right now." Damon said
We follow after Damon. We head to a class room where Stefan is waiting. Damon tells us what happened in the hallway with Caroline.
"How did this happen?" Stefan asked
"Well, I fed her blood and Katherine obviously killed her and A plus B equals…" Damon said
"But why?" Elena asked
"Because Katherine is a manipulative, nasty, little slut." Damon said
"Says the guy who has loved her since he became a vampire." I said
Elena smiled.
"And she said "game on"? I mean, what does that even mean?" Stefan asked
"It means she's plating dirty. She wants us to know." Damon said
"Of course, we knew that. She's Katherine as soon as she came back I knew she was going to play dirty." I said
"But why Caroline?" Elena asked
"Why not? She was just there, in the hospital, With vampire blood in her system. It was just a plus that she is entangled with us." I said
"Caroline must be completely out of her mind, she doesn't even know what's happening to her." Stefan said
"Oh I think she does. All of my compulsion from the past started wearing off the minute she was in transition." Damon said
"We have to find her." Stefan said
"Yep, and kill her." Damon said
"You're not going to kill Caroline." I said
"She knows who we are. He's officially a liability, and we've got to get rid of her." Damon said
"Damon, absolutely not." Stefan
"Need I remind you of a tragic little story of a girl named Vicki Donovan? Caroline, of all people, will not make it as a vampire. Her mother is a vampire hunter. Guys come on, we all know how this story's gonna end, just flip to the last chapter and…" Damon said
"Help her." I said
"It's not an option Damon." Elena said
"No? Your silence is deafening, Stefan. Wait, wasn't there a school carnival the night you staked Vicki? I never had a town where history repeats itself. You know I'm right." Damon said
"We're not gonna kill her." Stefan said
Stefan leaves, Elena follows him.
"You aren't going to kill Caroline. I won't let you." I said
I turned and left the room. I used a ability much like scrying called Sensing (the ability to sense the location of other people) to find Caroline. I walk towards the pull, as I get closer I fell that something is wrong. So I start running when I turn the corner I see Caroline crying next to a dead Carter, and Damon.
"He's dead. I killed him. What's wrong with me?" Caroline asked
"Hey, hey it's okay. I can help you." Damon said
"You can?" Caroline asked
"Yeah, I have to." Damon said
"What are you gonna do?" Caroline asked
"The only thin I can do. I'm gonna kill you." Damon said
I ran at super speed to stand in front of Caroline.
"Get out of the way." Damon said
"No." I said
"Please don't. I don't want to die." Caroline said
"Yeah, but you are already dead." Damon said
"No. I'm not. Don't say that, okay? Just help me." Caroline said
"Okay." Damon said
Caroline moved to stand next to me. I pushed her back behind me.
"Okay? Just help me please. Please, please." Caroline said
"Okay, okay. It's the only way." Damon said
Damon reaches behind his back. Stefan arrives and rushes over and pulls Damon away. The stake falls to the ground.
"Stefan." Damon and I said
Elena moves to stand by us.
"(Thinking Elena is Katherine) Get away from me. You killed me." Caroline said
"No, no, no, no Caroline. That wasn't me. You know that. That was Katherine." Elena said
"No! then why did she look like you?! And why, why did she do this to me?" Caroline asked
"Stefan, we've got to get her inside." Elena said
"It's okay Caroline, come with me." Stefan said
"She will die, it's only a matter of time." Damon said
"Yeah, maybe so, but it's not gonna happen tonight." Stefan said
"Oh yeah it is." Damon said
He picks up the stake and rushes over to us, Elena puts herself in front of me who is front of Caroline.
"Damon, she's my friend." Elena said
Damon hesitates, staring at Elena who refuses to move. Then he drops his arm.
"Whatever happened, it's on you." Damon said
Bonnie shows up.
"Caroline?" Bonnie asked
"It's okay, come on." Stefan said
"(sees the blood on Caroline's face) No, you're not; you can't be. (She touches her and is horrified by the truth.)" Bonnie said
"Bonnie?" Caroline asked
Bonnie turns her head and see Carter's body.
"Oh god." Bonnie said
"Bonnie…" Caroline said
Stefan takes Caroline away. Elena and I are still outside with Bonnie.
"I can't believe this happening." Bonnie said
Damon arrives with a shovel in hands.
"Come on, don't pout about it. I got a body to bury." Damon said
Damon looks at Elena.
"I though you were calling the shots. No? Hm, it sucks to be you, buddy." Damon said
"You know if it wasn't for Nevaeh taking my powers you would be in a world of hurt." Bonnie said
"And it's thoughts like that made me take your powers in the first place." I said
"I didn't do this." Damon said
"Bonnie, it wasn't his fault." Elena said
"Everything that happens is his fault Elena." Bonnie said
"No this is your fault Bonnie." Damon said
I turned and glared at Damon. He had gone to far today from picking on Tyler and Mason to this. I used a Blood Boiling (the ability to increase blood temperature to a boiling point) Damon fell to his knees.
"What is happening?" Damon yelled
"Your inside are burning." I said
"You are going to kill him." Elena said
"That's the point." Bonnie said
"He won't die. He can't die as long as I hold his heart." I said
I turned and grabbed Elena and Bonnie. We walked away. As we walked away Bonnie went a different way. Elena and I headed to her locker. Stefan walked towards us.
"Hey, Caroline is okay for now. I'm gonna check in on her later." Stefan said
"I'll make her a daylight ring." I said
"What about the guy that she…" Elena said
"It's taken care of." Stefan said
"Damon's right, isn't he? It won't end well for her." Elena said
"No, I'm gonna make sure that he's wrong." Stefan said
"So am I. I couldn't save Vicki, but I will save Caroline no matter the cost." I said
"I just can't believe what this day has turned into." Elena said
"Not you normal day, huh?" Stefan asked
"I was stupid to think that it could be. I mean, nothing about my life is normal. Two of my best friend's are witches, my friend is a vampire and I have a doppelganger who's hell-bent on destroying all of us." Elena said
"I'm sorry." Stefan said
"No, it's not your fault, Stefan. It's no one's fault you know?" Elena asked
"Yeah, I'm it's not your fault Bonnie and I are witches. Plus who want's to be normal. Normal is boring." I said
My phone went off it was from Mason.
"I got to go, help Carol. Goodnight you guys." I said
I turned and headed towards the door and outside. I head to my car and drive to the Lockwood mansion. I get inside and to where Carol and Mason were.
"I think it's good for Tyler to have you in the house." Carol said
"I appreciate that Carol." Mason said
"Oh, and I can see if I can dig up that stone you're looking for. It's bound to be tucked away in one of Richard's nooks and crannies." Carol said
I walk into the room.
"Hey, Carol." I said
"Hey Nevaeh. Come with me." Carol said
I nodded my head. Tyler walks in.
"Hey man, you heading up?" Mason asked
"In a minute. Good night mom. Nevaeh you staying the night?" Tyler asked
I knew that was a statement not a question.
"Yes." I said
"Good night Tyler." Carol said
She then walked upstairs, I followed. We headed into her and Richard's room. There was a box on the bed. She picked it up and handed it to me.
"This is for you, Richard left it." Carol said
I took the box.
"I heard what you said, about how you felt about Richard and I." Carol said
I looked up from the box and looked at her.
"You weren't supposed to hear that." I said
"But I did, and I want you know that you always welcomed here. We loved you as if you were are own. I still do." Carol said
She walked over and gave me hug. I helped Carol get to bed. I took the box and headed downstairs. When I entered the room where I left Tyler and Mason only Mason was still in there.
"What do you need with the moonstone?" I asked
"It's not for me." Mason said
"Who's it for?" I asked
Mason was going to answer but Tyler walked in. Mason left the room.
"What's in the box?" Tyler asked
"I don't know. Your dad left it for. I'll look in the morning. Let's go to bed." I said
So we head upstairs, and to bed.
