Everything was different now I was back with Elijah. Not in a relationship sense, for I was more heartbroken than I'd ever been in my life, but because he was my best friend.

Hell I forgived him there and then.

But now a thought entered my mind.

"Oh my God... Damon-!" I gasped in horror, making Elijah jump. "What-?" he just said with a frown, but I had already started back towards Virginia;

He hadn't had my blood for a good while. He was dying, quite literally.

Elijah understood now, then followed me in silence. He always followed me.

Man he was too good a friend...

-ArBaN-

It had almost been a year since I stepped foot in Mystic Falls, a year since I had seen Damon in the flesh too. Since I'd... blown off his marriage proposal and ran off with the lying, coniving bastard, literally, that was Klaus.

"How are you feeling?" Elijah now asked me as we walked along the sidewalk. I knew what he meant- tonight was full moon, and my God knows what transformation. I'd actually gotten used to them by now, but they still hurt like hell.

"I'm fine." I just told him, and he nodded. "Good, the old Lockwood place would be a good place to transfor-"

"No, I have a feeling Tyler is still there."

"Then where do you propose to transform?"

I shook my head, an uneasy feeling in my chest. "I don't know. Deep in the woods? Maybe if I mixed vervain and wolfsbane together it would stop me going AWOL?"

He grimaced. "That would hurt."

I didn't answer that as I walked up to the Salvatore Boarding House, then raised a hand and knocked. A few moments later, it opened to reveal Stefan who looked shocked to see me, then he saw Elijah and scowled a little.

Elijah just said. "I'll leave you all." then left.

Stefan sighed now and stepped aside, letting me in.

As I walked into the living room, I heard a glass get set down, then Damon looked up in utter shock when he saw me. "Arianne?" he frowned, getting up. "What are you doing here?"

I stepped forwards now and hugged him for a moment. "Thought you might be a bit hungry."

He flinched a little now, then sighed, letting me go. "Thanks for all that."

I chuckled. "What was I supposed to do? Let you d-die?" but my voice cracked at the end, and all the hate and loss I felt about Klauses past actions broke me, making tears streak down my face.

"What happened?" Damon now asked, taking my face in his hands. I pulled away, not inclined to every loving a man, vampire or whatever they were again.

"Alot happened..." I said quietly, and he sighed, pulling me into his chest. "Come on, I'm here right?"

"Damon get off me."

He let me go now as I growled quietly, making him frown. "What the hell was that for Miss-"

"Shut up! God!" I just snarled, stalking outside with him hot on my heels.

He grabbed me and pinned me by my arms against the wall now, eyes hard, but also slightly worried. "Arianne, what-?" but I pushed him hard away, making him smash into the stone wall, causing him to snarl in agony- the bite had weakened him a little, making him more prone to injury... but he'd never admit to it.

His pride would never get damaged.

I sighed now and pulled him up to his feet and said quietly. "Sorry. I'm just a little... on the edge. Full moon tonight and I just..." I growled a little now as my body had a shock shoot through it. "It makes me a pissed of bitch."

"I can tell. But what else is wrong in Arry World? I thought you were getting cosy with Klaus, not hanging with his dorky brother."

"Klaus murdered my family."

"Oh. You could have given me some warning before saying that,"

I just shook my head now, staring at the floor. "Why do I bother Damon? I'm... I'm more than just cursed, I'm going to Hell, I know it..."

He sighed now, then went to kiss me, but I walked off.

Fuck guys, not literally, from now on.

-ArBaN-

"Good news, Lockwoods gone."

I nodded now as I walked into the bar where I was meeting Elijah.

"Ok then." I just said in a toneless voice, feeling lightheaded. "Everything set then?"

He was silent now, then held up a little bottle and I knew straight away what it was. I took it and sighed in defeat. "Vervain and wolfsbane?"

"Are you sure you want to take both together?"

"Yes. Klaus used it before, and he kept enough of his mind to stay in proper human form. Maybe it'll work on me too."

"You are taking a huge risk..."

"What's life without a bit of risk?" I chuckled now, then sighed. "Why do you hate him so much? I can tell there's more than just... all this."

He was silent now, then he sighed too. "It doesn't matter."

"Elly..."

"Stop calling me that, it's annoying."

"Whoop de do (!)"

He sighed now. "I will tell you another time. I swear it."

"You better."

"Belle, you know me."

I nodded, then groaned. "Look, I'm heading down to the Lockwood place, ask Damon if he has some vervain and wolfsbane please. I need you to lock me in."

He nodded, then was gone in a flash.

I went down to the Lockwood place now and testing the chains as the moon came out. The change was imminent, I knew it. There was a grate now as the iron gate was pushed open, then Elijah appeared with a bottle in his hand.

"I hope you know what you're doing." he told me as he handed it me. I groaned and shook my head. "I've no idea. Let's just pray this works."

He was silent, then said quietly. "I'm sorry."

Now that took me aback. "About what?"

Elijah was silent once more, then spoke. "I could have stopped him. Made him let you go... but I didn't. I couldn't-" but he stopped when I put a finger over his lips. "I forgive you." I told him quietly, then he nodded. "Thank you."

But now I yelled out and backed up, my sides splitting it seemed.

"It's coming." I gasped, groaning a little as it ripped me. "Get out." I told him now as he locked he in my chains, bottle in my hand. "Get out!" I yelled once more, then he stayed put.

"This is no time to be a gentleman. I'll rip you apart! Now get out!"

He didn't move.

"Now!"

He finally left now, and I heard the gates lock. Now I raised the bottle and closed my eyes tightly- this was going to hurt like... Hell.

I swallowed it all in one, against all odds, then collapsed to my feet, yelling and screaming in agony.

Now I hit the floor, making it shatter a little as I collided against it, heat, pain and rage coursing through me, not hurting too much because I was channeling that pain and turning it into hate for Klaus.

I was going to rip that man apart now for lying and deciving me all these years...

I swore it.
