Buffy swings her hair back and forth as she sways her hips before laughing loudly as she raises the bottle of whiskey she had compelled off the bartender to her lips and takes several big gulps.

God, it felt good to be able to drink again.

Swinging her hips again she spins around laughing softly, honestly, she wasn't even sure where she was, she was in some club in Charlotte, no idea where exactly but she didn't care. She was having fun which was something she didn't even think was possible anymore. Honestly, she couldn't help but curse herself for not turning off her humanity earlier.

"Woo!" She screams before grabbing a guy nearby dancing against him as she continues having a blast.


"We're gonna lose her Damon." Stefan says in a panic as the two discuss the whole Buffy no humanity elephant in the room. And given that she wasn't in her room right now, it wasn't a good sign.
"She needs time." Damon argues turning to face his brother "It's only been a couple of days."
Stefan sighs, not liking how non-chalet about this whole situation his brother was "Her humanity is off. She's basically numb to everything that makes her who she is."
"She's a Slayer."
"She's half-demon." Stefan argues trying to get his brother to understand, none of them had ever seen Buffy's demon side awaken fully or what it was capable. Now that her humanity switch was off her demon side could be running everything.

"Point?" Damon asks in confusion as he pours himself a glass of bourbon before turning back to his brother who merely sighs "She burned down her family home with her brother's dead body still inside and then she gave up her only connection left to her humanity. Joy."

Damon sighs and runs a hand through his hair "Joy is fine. And Buffy burning down the house saves us the trouble of having to do it ourselves. I call that a win."


As Buffy continues dance she pauses as she feels the guy she was dancing with move his hands down onto her backside. Her eyes glaze over and she grabs him by the throat lunching him across the dance floor before she begins dancing again.

"Jonny!" A girl suddenly screams before she grabs Buffy's shoulder spinning her around glaring at the emotion-less Slayer "You hurt my boyfriend."

"Aw honey...I don't care now remove your clearly badly manicured hand from me before I break it."

The girl merely glares at the blonde before slapping her across the face. But Buffy's head doesn't even move she merely smirks "I was so hoping you would do that." She laughs before snapping the girl's wrist causing her to scream in agony only to go flying and Buffy pushes her sending her flying onto the stage.

As people begin screaming the blonde continues dancing and drinking until huffing in annoyance as two members of security walk over to her "Miss you need to leave."

Buffy pauses in her movements and smiles up at the two "Make me."


"Worst case scenario, we get Klaus to bring Joy and maybe that will get the blonde to switch it back on." Damon suggests, honestly, the fact that she wasn't able to be compelled made it a little harder but what would work better than seeing her daughter who was literally the only family she had left.

"No." Stefan says before sighing "Her brother and her dad just died and Elena just went into a mystical coma Meredith says she probably will never wake up from. We force all that grief on her at once, it's gonna overwhelm her. Plus Buffy turned her emotions off thinking it was the best way to protect Joy, she thinks everyone she's near dies. We need to give her a reason to want to turn it back on. Prove that Joy needs her."

Damon sighs, he knew Buffy well enough to know once her mind was set on something it was hard to turn it back, "Fine. We show her a good time." When Stefan merely rolls his eyes Damon couldn't help but groan in annoyance "I know it's controversial Stefan, but people actually like to have fun. And Buffy spent the last 6 months pregnant so fun not big on her book."

"You really think that's gonna work?" Stefan asks this was ridiculous, they needed to show Buffy that she could get past all the pain and be with her daughter, not encourage her.

"There's only one way to find out."


Buffy smirks as she looks up at the two massive 6 foot five security guards "Come on boys...just trying to have a little fun."

"We weren't asking." One of the guards says before grabbing Buffy's arm only for his eyes to widen, he couldn't even shove her Buffy merely smirks "Ooh..." She teases "I'm shaking in my stylish yet affordable boots. Hey...you ever hear that term oh god my arm..."

When the guard frowns in confusion Buffy grabs his wrist and twists it shattering the bone "Oh god! My hand..."

Buffy merely shrugs, okay maybe she should have shattered his whole arm "Close enough."

As more guards begin appearing the second guard comes up behind her wrapping his arms around her trying to pull her to the exit, Buffy grabs the back of his head and launches him over her back before shattering the bottle of whiskey over another guards head as he runs at her.

Spinning around the blonde swings her leg out sending one guard flying across the dance floor before hitting the bar breaking most of the bottles.

Ducking as another guard swings his arm at her she then stands and grabs his head tossing him to the ground before cartwheeling over him kicking another guard in the face as he stumbles she grabs him lifting him over her head before tossing him onto the stage where the DJ had clearly legged it out the building.

Blocking another guard's arm she punches him in the gut before standing on his knee and wrapping one leg around his head and spinning through the air sending him stumbling while she spins through the air and lands on the pool table.

Grabbing the pool cue off the table she flips off the table and without locking stabs it into a nearby guard's leg as he runs at her.

Sighing she looks down at the six guards on the ground and smiles "Well that was fun." Shrugging she jumps up onto the bar and grabs another bottle of whiskey before heading to the exit kicking another guard in the face before she walks out with a smirk on her face. God, she had missed violence.

As she walks out into the parking lot she smirks as she spots Damon climb out his car and glare at her "What are you doing?" Buffy shrugs before moving towards him so she was stood right in front of him "Just a little disagreement, want some?" She asks holding up the bottle of whiskey towards him when he merely sighs she rolls her eyes before bringing the bottle to her lips and then pouts "You're no fun."

"There's something called restraint Buff."

Buffy smirks before trailing a finger up his chest and scoffing "Says you. Come on it's not like I killed them. Just seriously injured." When Damon just gives her an unamused look the blonde sighs before circling around him, what happened to fun Damon "You were supposed to be the fun brother. So gonna drive a girl home?"

Damon sighs as he watches the blonde covered in blood holding a bottle of whiskey in her hands, this was going to be more difficult then he thought.


"So that's the plan?" Damon asks in disbelief as he watches his brother in disbelief "You're gonna take her back to college?"

Stefan sighs, as much as he had no interest in enrolling at Whitmore if it meant he could keep an eye on the out of control blonde who had sent 8 people to the hospital last night then he would do whatever it took "Well the fun route didn't exactly pay off, did it?"
Damon shrugs "I don't know. Got a free bottle of whiskey out of it."

"She put 8 people in the hospital last night Damon!" Stefan exclaims in frustration before huffing "Look. Do you think I want to go to Whitmore and play chaperone? I enrolled this morning but you can't go. You're not a student. Besides you've got to go look for Katherine. I mean Buffy needs this cure now."

"Not that anyone asked me..." Caroline chimes in as she walks into Damon's room with her pink robe on and her hair in a messy bun on the top of her head "But I think taking her back to Whitmore is a great idea."

Damon frowns in confusion as he takes in the blonde vampire's appearance "Why are you here?"

"Blame it on your fancy water filters." Caroline shrugs "Your house has the only Vervain-free showers in town."

"Oh yeah." Damon mumbles remembering exactly what Bonnie's father had done "The Mayor put Vervain in the water supply. So many people to kill."
"Yeah." Caroline sighs before thinking back to what had mother said this morning, and it seemed like Vervain in the water system was just the start of all of this "And it's about to get worse. So she could use a little help."

Damon groans before shrugging "Fine. I'll go after the psychotic doppelganger. Stefan, you gonna go talk to the Sheriff?"
Stefan sighs before groaning remembering one thing he had to do today "I have to go to Klaus' first."

Damon frowns in confusion, why in the hell did he have to go to Klaus, at his brothers confused look Stefan sighs "He needs more things for Joy. He has Hayley there trying to get her to fess up about Katherine. Buffy had everything ready for the baby. Elena had stocked up for months worth of things. Then Buffy destroyed it all."

Damon sighs, as much as he wasn't a baby fan this was Joy the kid wasn't that bad and it actually bothered him that Joy was staying with Klaus "I deal with Klaus and take all of Joy's stuff and you deal with the Sherriff. Blondie, take her to Whitmore."

"Yeah...no." Buffy says as she walks out of the bathroom having heard everything from the shower, the boys and Caroline turn their eyes widening as there stood soaking wet and naked was the blonde slayer-demon. Buffy merely shrugs as she stands there in all her glory not bothered at all by the fact she was stood in the middle of the room naked.

Damon who had never actually seen her naked tilts his head cursing himself even more for never getting to sleep with her cause damn.

As Caroline looks away trying not to say anything Buffy shrugs "What Damon never got to see I thought it was unfair."

While Damon smiles slightly Stefan rolls his eyes before covering his brother's eyes, the fact that Buffy had never slept with Damon was still something that made him very happy so he didn't exactly want his brother seeing her naked "Buffy..."
The blonde rolls her eyes before pulling on a towel and pouting "You're no fun." Sighing she then turns to Caroline who could finally look her in the eye "I'm not going to school where some guy is gonna talk for two hours while I try not to rip his head off."

Caroline sighs before smiling at the blonde "Buffy, come on it will fun. I'm sure there will be frat parties ladies."
Buffy pauses at that and contemplates for a moment "Hot frat guys? Fine. But going to classes no. More fun would be pocking hot dagger in my eyes. But I got nothing else to do."

"Maybe don't put anyone in the hospital today?" Damon suggests making the blonde smirk slightly "Fine. What about torturing?"
Stefan Damon and Caroline all turn to her with wide eyes "No!"

Buffy rolls her eyes "Bored now." She mumbles before turning around and dropping her towel behind her as she heads to her room.


Buffy frowns as she walks through campus, frowning she spots something on one of the activity boards and moves towards it, there was a memorial page for one Jeremy Gilbert and one Get well soon poster for Elena Gilbert. Buffy couldn't help but scoff as she pulls both posters off before crumbling them both to pieces and tossing them to the ground.

Pausing though her eyes widen as she spots another poster, cheerleading. She hadn't done cheerleading since high school, but what she liked more about it was the idea of being around idiot girls she could torment and football players she could either screw or torture.

Smirking she places the cheerleading poster back into her bag before grabbing her phone and dialing a familiar number "I'm bored."

"Hello, Luv."
Buffy smirks at the sound of the hybrid's voice "So what's up?"
"Just trying to get our daughter to sleep."

At his words, Buffy rolls her eyes, "Oh that. You're all domestic now. Anyway, I heard you had missy werewolf there."
"Yes, I'm trying to track down the cure. If you feel like helping..."

Buffy sighs, she didn't like this Klaus, she liked mean and sexy not dad Klaus who want to find the cure "You're boring me now. Have fun with the child." Hanging up the phone she walks over to Caroline and Matt who were stood chatting about her sister. And whatever facility she was in. Not that she cared Elena was pretty much a vegetable it would be a mercy to just kill her instead of keeping her in that nonexistent state.

"Hey, Cheer captain." Buffy says with a smile on her face as she faces Caroline "Since I'm trying to get out of my mom bod..." Which wasn't true at all her body was exactly the same as before she had that little creature, she just needed to sound like she was trying "Why don't you get me on the cheerleading squad."

Caroline frowns at the blonde's suggestion given that last time she tried to get Buffy to be a cheerleader the blonde had gone running "I mean yeah I'm captain but I thought you hated cheerleading."
"No." Buffy says with a shrug "Just didn't find it any fun. Now I do. Come on I am in desperate need of exercise. I just had a baby help a girl out."

Pausing Caroline glances at Matt before smiling this was a good sign, one that Buffy had mentioned Joy and two that she wanted to do a social activity "I think that's a great idea."


Klaus sighs as he opens the front door to spot Damon smirking at him, he was hard to look good when you were carrying a baby bag and a freaking baby car seat but Damon knew he was totally pulling it off.

"Ah..." Klaus sighs "What an unpleasant surprise."

"I come barring gifts for the unprepared father." Damon says simply as he moves past Klaus and heads into the living room his eyes widening as there lying on the floor playing in a toy pen while she looked up at the giraffes above her while she tried to reach for them was Joy.

Crouching down beside the baby Damon chuckles as the baby reaches up her hands towards him clearly wanting his attention, god she was just like her mother, sighing he hesitantly picks up the little girl and sits her on his lap "Hey ass-kicker." He chuckles holding up the Massive Mr. Gordo that was in the bag Elena had prepared before she had gone into her coma.

Klaus glares at he watches Damon play with his daughter, he hated the fact that like Buffy Joy was already so comfortable with Damon, like Joy could sense how much Buffy and Damon cared for each other. It sickened him "What do you want?"

"I came up with a list." Damon says simply as he looks up at the hybrid and pulls a piece of paper out of his pocket trying to keep it away from Joy as she reaches for it "Called things you suck at." Pausing he looks down at Joy who was innocently putting Mr. Gordo's head to her mouth "Cause your evil daddy sucks at a lot."

Turning back to Klaus he smirks "Number one: Finding Katherine, ever. Number two: Covering up your secret phone conversations to that little backstabber Hayley. And obviously not being able to pull off the DILF thing." Tossing the paper towards him he smiles as he glances around the room "So where is she? And what does she know about Katherine?"

"I should help you?" Klaus scoffs trying to remain calm and not cause his daughter any distress "After you lot killed my brother and imprisoned me in the Gilbert living room, before letting the mother of my child switch off her humanity."

"You might want to prioritize Klaus." Damon warns as he hands Joy back her toy before standing with her still in his arms so tempted to take her away from the hybrid where he knew she would be safe "You have much bigger problems. Katherine has the cure. Isn't that right Jo?" Damon says with a chuckle glancing at Joy who was not paying attention even a little as she held onto her toy "My guess is she's gonna want to cram it down your throat. You help me find Katherine. I'll get the cure, and if it comes to it I'll give it to Buffy. And poof little ass-kicker has a mom again. Everybody wins. Just let me question Hayley about Katherine."

Klaus smiles slightly before stepping towards Damon and taking his daughter from Damon's arms "Can't help you mate. Hayley's off-limits. Although I did have a run-in with a vampire who may know where Katarina is, too bad for you I bit halfway through his neck so he probably won't have much time for chit-chat." He says as he sits down and rests Joy on his lap holding the toy up for her as she keeps dropping it, her hands not strong enough yet to grip onto it.

Klaus smiles before smirking at Damon who merely glares at him.


Buffy smiles as she stands leaning against the wall in her the blue and yellow cheerleading uniform twirling her ponytail as she talks to one of the football players. Who honestly didn't have many brains, but from where she was stood she was able to see every single college cheerleading team that was getting off the bus from the big competition.

So many people to kill and torture...so little time.

As she turns away from the guy whose name she couldn't remember he frowns "Can I get your number!?"

Buffy rolls her eyes before heading into the gym just as Caroline walks over to her with a smile on her face "I always knew you were born for cheerleading." She laughs before taking in the sight of Buffy in the cheerleading costume, she looked amazing you couldn't even tell that she just had a baby "So much for needing to get back into shape after having a baby." Caroline says with a smile while Buffy twirls before smiling brightly "I know right."
Caroline chuckles, it was so weird today Buffy was acting like the old Buffy, it just felt so amazing to have Buffy back "We are totally gonna kick UCLA's ass."

"Sounds like a plan. I mean look at those uniforms so 90's." Caroline chuckles at the blonde's words before moving to stand beside Buffy whose eyes were now focused on a cheerleader in a white and orange uniform across the gym as she listens in on the girls conversation.

"Wow. The competition's bigger than last year." Caroline says with a sigh she was nervous "I'm gonna go stretch."

Buffy smiles and nods before watching Caroline go, as she disappears to go join the team Buffy turns her eyes landing on the girl heading outside. This was gonna be fun.


"Hi." Buffy says as she appears behind the girl on the bus making the blonde cheerleader jump and scream slightly before sighing in relief.

Buffy tilts her head before moving in front of the blonde cheerleader and smiling before pulling a knife out of her bag and smirking darkly, grabbing the girl by the throat she looks into her eyes "I want you to stab yourself in leg."

The girl's eyes widen in horror and she tries to say no but she couldn't control her hand as she grabs the knife before driving it into her own leg. As she screams in agony Buffy pouts as the girl begins crying like a baby, she was no fun "You're no fun." Buffy moans before an idea fills her grabbing the girl she smiles at her sweetly and compels her again "Bandage up your leg...and then go back inside and when my team is performing. I want you to stab every girl on your team, you don't have to kill them...just stab them till they scream." And with that the blonde turns and leaves the bus smiling, this competition was about to get a lot more chaotic.


"Hey, where were you?" Caroline asks as she runs over after spending the past 10 minutes in search of the blonde vampire slayer.
Buffy smiles before turning to face the vampire with a forced apologetic look on her face "Sorry. Lip gloss emergency."

Caroline frowns in confusion before watching Buffy move towards the team, something was wrong she could feel it walking over to Buffy she grabs her arm "What did you do?"

Buffy frowns before smiling cluelessly "What do you mean?"

"You did something."

"Everything okay?" Stefan asks cutting their conversation short as he walks over to the two, Buffy smiles and turns to her vampire ex-boyfriend "You look good." She says with a smirk "Forgot how good you look in grey." Biting her lip she smirks once more before winking at Caroline and walking over to a girl in a different colored uniform who had a white bandage around her left leg.

"She's up to something." Caroline tells Stefan, she knew it, she could feel it, if Buffy was a vampire it would be more obvious that she just wanted to feed, but Buffy wasn't a vampire she was half demon.

Stefan sighs before watching the blonde walk back over to the Whitmore cheerleaders and doing a back tuck before laughing with the girls. Apparently turning off her emotions had brought our her demon side and god knows what it wanted.


As Damon hangs up on his brother groaning in annoyance over party girl demon Buffy he continues to walk through the parking lot Klaus had told him the vampire that attacked Hayley had been when he got bit.
Coming to a stop Damon huffs in annoyance as the one blonde he never liked seeing was stood watching him "You. I thought you were still vacationing on numbskull island."

Rebekah shrugs "Well, I was looking for answers, and all I found was your professor Shane, dead, and with him, anything that anyone knows about the cure."

Damon shrugs he had no interest in dealing with Rebekah, one Original was enough for one day "Guess you won't turn into a real girl after all."

"I'll get the cure. I just need Katherine and I'm betting you can help me find her." She calls as he turns his back on her only to freeze at her mentioning Katherine's name. This wasn't good.
"Why would I help you?"

Rebekah smirks before raising a vile of blood "Because I was smart enough to bring a pinch of my brother's blood after visiting my new baby niece. She is precious. Now how else would you interrogate a vampire who's practically dead from a wolf bite?"

Damon clenches his jaw before sighing, it's not like he had much of a choice "Fine. I may know where to start."


"Hey...we need to talk." Stefan says as he finally spots Buffy out on the bleachers by the football field with a flask in her hands as she soaked in the sun.

Buffy turns her head and smirks as she turns to face him "And why's that?" She asks as she stands and takes several steps down towards him till she was just one step up from him looking down at him.

"Did you stab that girl?"
"Of course not." Buffy says straight away, it wasn't like she was lying taking another swig from her flash she smiles down at the vampire "Anything else?"
"Okay how about the hospital missing blood supply, know anything?"

Buffy chuckles before wrapping her arms around his neck and clipping her tongue at him "I don't drink blood Stefie. It's gross. And as fun as annoying hospital staff sounds...too much work."

Stefan sighs before taking her hands off his shoulders making her pout before he places his hands on her shoulders forcing her to face him "Look, Buffy, I know what you're going through. I was having the time of my life when I first turned."

"Not a vampire." Buffy reminds him smiling brightly as she focuses her green forest eyes on him.
Stefan sighs "Yes but the power I get it. I didn't start ripping people's heads off until 1912."

Buffy rolls her eyes at his words before moving to leave the bleachers only for him to grab her hand turning her back to him "Stefan...I've done the whole head removable thing. It's messy. And I happen to like my clothes blood-free." Sighing she steps forward till she was right in his personal space craning her neck to look up at him "I'm not a vampire Stefan. Your past is not my future."

Stefan sighs before looking down at the blonde with begging eyes "Come on. You're better than this."
"No. I'm not. You see before I was a martyr who just wanted to save the world. And now...I'm the person I should have always been. Why change it?" She asks taking a step closer to him before she hears her team begin called "I gotta go. Gonna stop me?" She asks looking up at him before she shocked him by grabbing the back of his neck and kissing him. And Stefan still being completely in love with her couldn't help himself from kissing her back however just as his mind kicks back in he moves to pull back but she was already gone.


Buffy speeds away from Stefan and heads back into the gym groaning as she runs right back into Caroline who glares at her "No way. You are not cheering."

Buffy merely smirks at the blonde vampire "Caroline...may I remind you I'm an original." Grabbing Caroline's hand she holds it tightly making the vampire cry out in pain before Buffy grabs her jaw forcing her to look into her eyes "I'm gonna cheer. And you're gonna be happy and peppy. And stay the hell out of my way. Understand?"

"I understand." Caroline nods before gasping as Buffy walks off before growling in frustration since when the hell could she could compel vampires?


Buffy smiles as she begins the routine, flipping and smiling, honestly, it was annoying but she had a plan. Getting into her place to do the lift Buffy stands behind Caroline who would be flying and as they throw her in the air Buffy steps out of the way letting her drop onto the matt before smirking down "Smile." She whispers just as screaming comes from the crowds.

Stefan who was in the crowd frowns and turns his head away from the hurt Caroline only to spot a cheerleader in an orange and white uniform running around with a knife stabbing her own teammates in the stomach.

As the crowd panics and runs Stefan quickly realizes what Buffy had done, she wanted chaos and so had created some, turning his head his eyes widen even more as he spots the blonde gone "Dammit."


After dealing with the cheerleaders Stefan runs outside in search of the blonde his eyes widening as he spots her leaning against her jeep watching the ambulances taking away the 14 injured cheerleaders with a smirk on her face. The demon in her clearly had a thing for chaos. He was beginning to think that she would have been easier to deal with if she had become a damn vampire and just wanted to eat people.

"You love Chaos." Stefan says with a shake of his head as he walks over to the blonde who was now texting her fingers flying across her phone so quickly he could barely keep track of them "That was a big show. What do you do for an encore?"

"I can do you." Buffy suggests smirking slightly as she steps towards the vampire who clenches his jaw and removes her hand from his chest making her pout "Funny. So convincing a 21-year-old girl to stab 13 of her team-mates was fun to you."

"No." Buffy says with a shrug before smiling "But compelling Caroline and then dropping her on her fat head had its laughs."

Stefan's eyes widen at that "You compelled Caroline?" He hisses in shock since when was she able to compel vampires, and why had she never said anything about it.

"Yeah." Buffy says with a shrug before tossing her bag into the boot of her car and turning to him "It was really easy to. But then again, I didn't have to compel her she and the rest of you are so obsessed with me being good girl Buffy that one fake smile and your like pudding in my hands."

Stefan sighs before smiling at his ex-girlfriend "Okay fine. You want fun, a bit of destruction."
"Oh I like the way you talk." She flirts as she pulls on her black leather jacket smiling up at him, the boot of her car still wide open.

"There's a demon bar off the beaten path. New place."

"Ooh." Buffy says with a giggle, as much as she liked the sound of that she could see it he was playing her, stepping forward she takes his hand in hers loving the way he tenses slightly. She still had him in the palm of her hand "Just the two of us?"

Stefan nods before pushing a strand of hair out of her face "Yeah but first..." Suddenly he speeds behind her and moves to inject her with the old Watcher serum he had called Giles for but Buffy had seen it coming as he tries to inject her she grabs him by the throat and snaps his neck "Nice try Stefan. But if you want me away from the party...you'll have to try a lot harder." She tells him knowing he was dead but whatever. Grabbing his body she shoves it into the boot of her car before locking him inside and then climbing into the driver's seat and begins heading for the Salvatore house.


Buffy who was currently in a black robe in her room doing her makeup at the mirror turns as she hears Stefan gasps as he finally rejoins the land of the living "Finally, god." She moans spinning in her chair to face the vampire who sits up on her bed rubbing his head "You looked really dead. It was creepy."

"You snapped my neck!" Stefan exclaims as he turns and glares at the blonde who merely stands and rolls her eyes as she moves towards her wardrobe "You were being a complete Buzz kill. It was like hanging out with Giles."

Stefan sighs as he stands before turning to face the blonde "You were out of control."

"The phrase is having fun." She corrects before throwing her black leather trousers on the bed and a red tank top with a high neck but nothing in the back but a simple string leaving pretty much her entire back exposed.

Stefan huffs before shaking his head "Buffy, you compelled a girl to start stabbing innocent people in public. That's fun to you?"

"I was a little drunk." She admits shrugging slightly as she shakes her now wavy hair out before taking off her robe making Stefan's eyes widen as he spots her in just her underwear.

She was making this whole helping her thing really difficult.

"You're really gonna keep stripping in front of me? Real mature."

Buffy chuckles softly as she grabs her leather pants off the bed "You're in my room I didn't say you had to stay. Go for all I care. Or...if you're gonna stay we could have fun." As she teases him she giggles softly before grabbing her shirt and pulling it over her head before pulling off her bra from underneath and tossing it to the floor. Walking past him she grabs the red lipstick off her nightstand before continuing to get ready.

"Where are you going?" Stefan asks in confusion making the blonde smile "Nowhere." She says honestly before turning to face the vampire while she begins texting again "I was serious though you look good if you wanna have sex I'm totally up for it. From what I remember we used to have good sex."

Stefan clenches his jaw as he watches the blonde who continued to stare at her phone as she texted god knows who "This isn't you Buffy. You don't play with people's feelings."
"Why do you care?" The blonde asks as she stops texting and grabs her leather boots slipping them on.
"Because it's my fault that you're like this. I brought this into your life."

"And that's where you, my delicious friend..." She says with a laugh as she stands stepping closer to him again "...Are wrong. I was the Slayer before I met you. Klaus was destined to find me. It doesn't matter that you showed up. Would have happened anyway. Get over it I have. Now are you gonna come have fun...or you gonna stay up here and be a Debbie downer?"

With that the blonde turns her back on him and Stefan frowns as she leaves the room before he hears a thud come from downstairs "Buffy?" He calls running after her only for his eyes to widen as he spots hundreds of people walking into his house and kegs being set up while the DJ blasted music through the house.

"You like?" Buffy asks as she appears behind Stefan and smiles "Couple of the cute frat boys I talked to today wanted to see where I lived. Oh and so did there friends."

Stefan sighs before looking at Buffy seriously, she was acting crazy "Buffy what about Joy? You can't act like this around her."

"I'm not around her" Buffy says with a shrug taking a drink from the girl walking around carrying jello shots. "She's with Klaus. Oh come on...I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom." She jokes shrugging playfully before downing her shot only pausing as she hears her name being called.

"Buffy!" A bunch of guys in varsity shirts call as they walk in one of them throwing Buffy over his shoulder as she laughs "Have fun, Stefan!" She yells before allowing the boys to lead her over to the dance floor while Stefan groans "Great." He mumbles watching as Buffy does a keg stand, this was bad, so bad "Just great."


"I got here as soon as I could." Caroline tells Stefan as she hurries over to him, she had to go to the hospital and make sure no one remembered Buffy's little stabbing game. "This is insane." She breaths as she looks around at the party currently going on at the Salvatore home.

Stefan sighs as he continues to stand in misery watching the party continue, he just couldn't believe Buffy had done all of this "Yeah. It won't last. They'll either drink all the booze and get bored, or Damon will come home and kill everyone."

"We can't compel them to leave." Caroline tells him as they begin walking through the crowd of people in search of the out of control Slayer "Half of them are locals so have Vervain in their system from the water supply."

Stefan mumbles yeah before grabbing a couple of whiskey off someone else and turning to face Caroline who was still in panic mode "So, what do we do?"

"I don't know." Stefan says with a sigh still looking out for the blonde slayer who he hadn't seen since the frat guys had taken her off to the dance floor "Enjoy the party, keep Buffy from killing everyone for fun."

Taking a huff as Stefan drinks Caroline's eyes widen as she finally spots Buffy making out with some frat guy by the keg "Buffy's...certainly a free spirit."

Stefan frowns before he turns around his fists clenching as he spots Buffy and the tall mixed race guy she was making out with. Right now there was a strong possibility he was about to kill everyone at the party before Damon even got here.

However, his eyes widen as he spots Buffy's hand move around his neck "Dammit." He hisses before speeding away from Caroline and grabbing Buffy before she could choke the life out of the guy.

"Boo." She moans glaring up at Stefan in annoyance before taking the bottle from his hands "Do you have to ruin all my fun."

"Do you have to choke random's just for fun."

Buffy pauses before arching a brow at him and smirking "Dance with me then I won't." When he hesitates the blonde rolls her eyes before sighing "Come on Stefan. Do you remember what fun is? I promise I won't kiss you again, if that helps."

Stefan groans in annoyance before holding out his hand towards the blonde, he might as well if it meant keeping an eye on her.

Buffy smirks "Goody." She giggles before taking his hand and leading him to the dance floor finishing the bottle of whiskey as she goes.


After sending out a bleeding nurse as a trap for the vampire Damon speeds over as he spots the vampire Katherine had sent moving towards the nurse, shoving him against the tree he moves to hit him only to pause. He knew this vampire.

"Damon?" The vampire asks in confusion while Damon's eyes merely widen, he hadn't seen this man in 20 years "Will?"

Will sighs before smiling weakly "Hi buddy." He says before wincing pulling back his jacket to show the werewolf bite on his neck which was getting progressively worse "I think there's something wrong with me. I need help."

Damon sighs as he watches his old friend for a moment "It's okay. I know what to do." He promises before shoving his hand into Will's chest ripping out his heart just as Rebekah comes running over.

He couldn't risk Will telling her anything, but at least he knew exactly what he had to do now to find Katherine.


"Rebekah has just informed me that your vampire assailant is dead." Klaus tells Hayley as hangs up the phone before turning to the werewolf girl "You're free to go."

Hayley frowns at that watching him carefully, but it was all over his face, now that he had what he needed she was useless to him. And even if he were interested in a night of passion he was to in love with a certain vampire Slayer.

As his daughter cries from her nursery he turns to Hayley "Let yourself out." He tells her simply before he leaves without hesitation and heads upstairs smiling at the sight of his daughter.

Walking over to her crib he carefully lifts her into his arms and holds her against his chest "It's okay Joy." He whispers kissing her head softly as he rocks her back to sleep, wishing that Buffy was here with him.


"I forgot you could actually dance!" Buffy laughs as Stefan spins her around the dance floor, as he dips her she giggles before allowing him to pull her back up.

Stefan chuckles, as much as he hated to admit it he was actually having a good time, it just felt so carefree to be able to have fun again, to drink and dance and party without the fear of him losing control.

Buffy smiles up at him as she jumps up and down swinging her hair wildly before he laughs making her stop, her hair was all over her face "Ah, hello little help."

Stefan smiles before moving the hair out of her face only to pause as he looks down at her, looking right into those forest green eyes of hers.

As she stands there watching him back holding his gaze Stefan frowns, there was something there, a little...emotion.

Taking a deep breath he steps forward and cups her cheeks in his hands however just before he could kiss her she disappears making him frown and turn to Caroline who was currently getting hit on by the football joke "Where did she go?!"


"Buffy." Sherriff Forbes says as she walks into the Salvatore house and over to the blonde who smiles at her "What's going on in here?"

"What...everyone here is over 21...I think."

Liz sighs before shaking her head and looking around curiously "Where's Stefan?"

"Currently nursing blue balls." Buffy says with a shrug before smiling "I have a question what's the name of the facility my sister's being kept at?"
Liz frowns in confusion before sighing "I'm shutting this down right now."

As she tries to move past Buffy, the blonde grabs her arm holding onto it tightly enjoying the wince of pain on her face "I don't think so."
"Buffy, take your hand off me."
"Make me." Buffy says with a chuckle before she pins Liz up the wall causing her head to bang violently "Tell me where my sister is Lizzie. I know you know where."

"Mom!" Caroline exclaims as she speeds over with Stefan, Caroline shoving Buffy away from her mother while Stefan grabs Buffy pulling her away while the blonde smirks.

"Buffy, what are you doing?"
Buffy smiles "Aw she looks hurt."

And that's when it clicks Buffy didn't crave blood, but the demon half of her, it craved pain, or more accurately causing pain.
Buffy smirks before pushing Stefan away sending him flying into a wall across the room before she turns to Caroline "Your mom should have told me where she is...guess I'll find her myself."

When Caroline growls anger filling her at her best friend for attacking her mother Buffy merely smiles and backhands her sending her flying across the room before waving "Bye now." And with that, the blonde disappears leaving nothing but a gust of wind in her wake.


"Why did she want to know where Elena was being kept?" Caroline asks as she and Stefan drive down the street towards the health and mental care facility just on the edge of town where Elena was begin kept.

Stefan sighs, honestly he had no idea, this didn't make any sense Elena was a big humanity tether for her why would she want to go anywhere near the person that may trigger her to turn her emotions back on.

That's when it hits him and his eyes widen in horror "Buffy blocked out most of her memories of Joy. But she can't do that with Elena. There's too much there. She's gonna kill Elena."


Buffy walks through the facility with a nurse leading her to her sister's room "Has there been any progress?" Buffy asks trying to make it seemed like she gave two-shits about Elena's recovery.

The nurse sighs "Unfortunately not. I'm afraid your sister's condition is irreversible. We've tried everything. The best we can do now...is keep her comfortable until she's ready to be transported to another long term facility."

Buffy smiles gratefully before watching as the nurse unlocks Elena's room "I'll give you a minute."

"Thank you." Buffy says sweetly before watching as the nurse leaves the room, once she was gone Buffy turns to her sister. She was laid there pale and unmoving, her eyes still wide open like the day she had gone into the coma.

Walking over to her the blonde looks down at her ignoring the pinch of emotion that dug inside of her, she knew that if Elena ever woke up that it would be the end of this fun trip and back to a life misery and emotions.

"Aw honey you look awful." Buffy tells her as sits down next to her watching her for a moment "They don't understand that this lighting does not do anything for your completion do they?"
Sighing the blonde leans forward and a small bit of emotion slips up "This is no way to live." She says softly before she clenches her jaw and buries her emotions again.
Raising her hand she holds it over Elena's mouth and nose, cutting off her air supply only tightening her hold as Elena begins to thrash.

"Buffy stop!" A voice screams making Buffy frown, which almost sounded like Elena, it was freaking creepy as hell! Shaking her head she focuses back on her sister ignoring the screaming voice in her head "Buffy, I'm your sister...I know you're lost but stop! I can help you!"

"I don't want help!" Buffy yells only to suddenly find herself being picked up and sped out of Elena's room before the person who had grabbed her throws her across the floor sending the blonde rolling across the forest floor.

Groaning in annoyance Buffy huffs "You were interrupting family time Caroline."

Caroline glares at Buffy "She is your sister Buffy!"
"She's a vegetable it would have been a mercy killing." Buffy hisses kicking Caroline in the chest sending her flying across the forest.

Caroline grunts before standing and speeding over to Buffy who merely grabs her by the throat "Caroline I'm an Original. You can't take me. I'm not gonna kill you of that helps. But maybe digging your way out of a grave will give you some perspective." And with that Buffy snaps her neck before throwing her body of her shoulder and heading to the graveyard.


After burying Caroline in an empty grave Buffy places the last bit of dirt on the ground before throwing the shovel to the ground "Happy digging Caroline. Brilliant for the pores." She says with a chuckle before walking away only to roll her eyes as she spots Damon and Stefan watching her.

The blonde rolls her eyes "Can I help you?"
"Where's Caroline?" Stefan asks making Buffy shrug "In a grave. She blabs a lot."

Stefan's eyes widen and he turns towards the graveyard there were at least a hundred graves here, how the hell was he supposed to find her.
Stefan sighs before turning to his brother "I'll find her. Get her out of here."

Buffy rolls her eyes "You guys are no fun."


Buffy watches from Damon's bed as he continues to go through some box in the corner of the room "You realize you can't keep me here." She tells him, it was true she was stronger than all of them could kill them all easily, she had knocked down Caroline in less than 10 seconds and that was without trying.

"I know." Damon mumbles "But how about you stay like a good little demon till you don't wanna kill your sister or bury your best friend alive."

Buffy rolls her eyes before standing and turning to Damon "I wanna have fun Damon. And I want my partner in crime to come with me."

"What do you mean come with you?" Damon asks curiously as he finally finds the old photo of him and Will from the 70's. Standing he turns to the blonde curiously, where was she going with this?

Buffy huffs "Let's get out here. We talked about going to Vegas or anywhere. I'm done with this town." Stepping forward she moves over to Damon getting into his personal space and looking up at him with her green eyes allowing a little bit of emotion to come through knowing it would confuse him "Come with me. Anywhere but here."

"Buffy—"

"Damon you always used to say it wasn't the time." Pausing she takes his hand and places it on her chest where her heart was beating "What if it? I feel Damon. I looked at my sister and didn't want her to suffer like that. That wasn't a way to live...but most of all I feel amazing for the first time since I came back. Maybe now is the time...just not the place...come with me."

Damon clenches his jaw, this was everything he wanted to hear for the past 6 years, it just wasn't supposed to be like this "You don't want to be like this."

"Why not? My daughter is safe and she will be away from me. Do you want me to go back to being the girl who couldn't even admit how she felt? I spent 6 years denying anything I ever felt for you. I'm not now. Come with me. We can see what happens, in time I'll turn it back on but not now." She says playing him right into her hands, she could see it all over his face he was falling for every word "Damon...this is our time." Pausing she steps forward placing her hands on his face looking up at him with her green eyes "Just let go." And with that, she leans up and kisses him, and Damon couldn't stop himself.

He wrapped his hands around her waist holding onto her tightly as he kissed her back.

He was so screwed.


Klaus after feeding Joy places his now tired little girl back in her crib covering her with the white and purple blanket that had once belonged to Buffy. Smiling down at her he spots her reaching for her mother's stuffed animal.

Grabbing the stuff pig he places it in her arms before smiling down at her "Now Princess, since your mother isn't here. I'm going to tell you a little tale."

Sighing he grabs a seat and moves to sit beside her crib as he finally tells her about her mother "Once upon time in Mystic Falls, a powerful Vampire searched for The Slayer. Her name was Buffy, you see the vampire had searched hundreds of years for her and finally found her nestled away in this little town..."


"Where the hell are you?" Stefan asks the second Damon answers the phone, Stefan sounded pissed, to be fair he had just spent several hours digging up graves searching Caroline.

Damon glances over at Buffy who smiles at him and he chuckles "Out for a drive. I need some space. It's not me. It's you."

"Well we have a problem, You said blood was stolen from Grove Hill's hospital. The Sheriff said there's been reports of 6 other blood band thefts all within 30 miles of Mystic Falls. Somebody's stockpiling blood."

Damon frowns in confusion, how did this relate to them? "Ok so..."

"I think Silas followed us back from that Island. Hasn't fed in 2,000 years, so he would need to gorge on blood. It explains the thefts."

Buffy's eyes widen slightly as a small amount of panic somehow manages to make it past her wall, as she thinks of a certain girl that Silas needed to finally break down The Other Side... Joy. I
f Silas was here then he would be coming for Joy. But then she forces herself to remember that Joy was safe with her father, and currently a lot safer with him then she would be with her.

As Damon hangs up the phone he turns to Buffy who shrugs "Such a worrywart your brother."
Damon chuckles "Yeah, well, family, emotions, all over-rated"

Buffy smirks at his words before looking down at the road ahead of them, curious as to where they were going he hadn't said anything, the second after they finished making out he had told her to pack a bag and then they were in his car on the road.

"So where are we going?"

"Everyplace a newbie all powerful being should go at least once in their life...New York. The city that never sleeps."

Buffy smiles at his words before laughing, this was going to be one hell of a road-trip.
