Kaylee's POV

Buzz Buzz Buzz*

"Ugh," you groaned turning over on Kyle's arm who was still tightly holding on to you. You squinted and snatched your phone off your nightstand and clicked the green answer button since that was really all you could see.

"Hello?" You answered sleepily closing your eyes once again.

"Dude you can not tell me you've been sleeping all day Kaylee! it's almost 5!" Jeremy shouted through the phone. "We need to work on our project dude," he finished more level headed. "I get it Jer. I'll be there soon," you assured and ended the call placing your phone back on the side table. "It's not actually 5 is it?" Kyle asked looming over you. "Lil bit," you smiled scrunching your nose and smiling up at him. Even in the faint light he was still such a beautiful person and those eyes. Glowing like two green jewels. "I have to go meet Jeremy before he kills me," you brushed your index finger across his bottom lip, taking your in-between your teeth lightly biting. "Have you been avoiding him?" he asked still laying over you but you could tell he wasn't allowing his full body weight on you. "He knows I'm a wolf Ky. It's not that easy to explain to him especially when Elena has had his mind wiped so many times," you released your lip and your heart grew sad. Literally everyone close to you either was supernatural or has already found out. "Well maybe this is your chance to be honest. If he can't even trust his sister. He should be able to trust his friends. Specifically you. I'm not gonna tell you what to do cause I know that would never go over well. But just a thought. Cause I know if I was him I would just want you guys to be honest. And lets be real if Megan's crazy ass can handle it, Jeremy should be a cake walk," you both bursted into laughter and he placed his hands on either side of your head and pushed himself up and off of you taking your hands and pulling you up with him. "What are you doing today?" You asked finally getting out of bed and grabbing a fresh change of clothes from your dresser. "I have practice in like an hour till late. And then I'm not sure. We should start doing your training with the actual full moon in a couple days I want you to be as prepared as possible," you snuck a glance at him even in the dark you could make out his body which was soon hidden under a t shirt again. "Here's this," you grabbed his varsity jacket and threw it over to him. you walked to the door of your bathroom "I'm gonna change. Do you want me to drop you off?" you threw your head back looking over your shoulder at him. "No I'll be alright," he looked at you for a moment. "But," he appeared in front of you in a blur pressing his body against yours pinning you against the bathroom door. "I do want to see you later," and he quickly stole a kiss before moving away from you. "You know it lover boy," you watched him stride over to the door. He always walked with such confidence, it was something you had always loved about him. And he had a cute butt he definitely didn't deserve. He turned to you and winked before disappearing and you shook your head walking into the bathroom and changing quickly.

You chose some light wash jeans, a black baggy knitted sweater, a pair of black boots, throwing a gray beanie over your head. You grabbed your bag throwing your phone in it and your notes for your project and headed downstairs. You didn't hear anyone in the house so you went outside grabbing your boxes of stuff from your moms trunk and putting them in your car. "I'm on my way," you texted Jeremy quickly and turned the car on and pulled out of your spot and down the driveway kicking up a cloud of dirty and gravel behind you which made you laugh a little on the inside. You turned on to the main road and finally made it to the Gilbert's finally.

You parked along the curb and hopped out and grabbed some of the stuff you wanted to go through today since you needed to start outlining your paper so you can finish it and finally pass history. You shoved some of the journals from your family and shoved them in your bag and headed inside. You already knew Stefan was here cause where else would he be. And you could hear Jeremy's and Elena's heartbeats.

"i'm here I'm here okay don't kill me," you yelled pushing the door open shoving it closed behind you and walking into the kitchen. "Don't hate me it's been a long couple of days okay? But I'm here," you set your bag in the chair next to you and sat down across from him, he barely even glanced up at you and didn't say anything. "Okay what gives? You've been rude to me the last couple days and I'm tired of it," your hands balled into fists your knuckles turning white and your fingers digging into your palm leaving tiny red crescent moons in their wake. This seemed to get his attention and he grabbed your wrist standing and tugging you out on to the back patio.

"What is going on? How are you a wolf? Why do I feel like I remember that but I don't? Everything is confusing me and I need answers," he shrunk back like the same little boy he was when you first met him.

"Jeremy it's a lot to explain right now. And I'm willing to tell you everything but not here okay? We can go somewhere and talk after," you took his hands in yours. "I promise lets work on our paper cool?" He just gave a curt nod and headed inside. He was right he does need answers. He deserves them. He opened the back door leaving it open for you and stepped back inside going directly back to the whatever he was working on. You followed closing the door behind you instantly hearing Stefan and Elena.

"Stefan who was that man in the road?"

"I don't know. Do you remember anything else about him?"

"I wish. The crash knocked me out. And I don't think Kaylee saw him either she was really hurt. Lucky for superhealing." You couldn't help but smirk to yourself.

"When I did see him he was wearing a hoodie. All i can remember before I passed out was these black boots coming towards us."

"I brought some vervain. For um- For you and Jenna. And um I made this bracelet for Jeremy. Few extra ones for friends. Or you can even put it in food or drink. But as long as it's in you or on you a vampire cannot control you."

"Wow so much to remember."

"I know but there's another vampire in town. So until we find out who he is and what he wants. We have to be careful."

Doorbell rings*

You looked up breaking your concentration on their conversation. Jeremy stopped what he was doing it seemed he had transitioned into sketching while you were listening and walked over to the door and opened it. Curiously you followed staying where whoever it was couldn't see you. "Hey, It's gonna be 22$," the man said handing Jer a box of pizza. He was cute. But you had never seen him around before which was odd since everyone here knew everyone. Joys of small town living. Jeremy threw his head back to the stairs, "Elena I need the money!" he shouted. "I'll get it," you moved from your cover catching the mans eye and you walked behind Jeremy when the scent hit you. The same smell you got around Charlie, Stefan, and Damon. Vampire. Your eyes widened and you glanced back at the man who was back to talking with Jeremy. Theres no way. But this could be our mystery man.

"Need money for pizza," you smiled awkwardly poking your head into her room. "Right there," she pointed to her vanity where a couple crumpled bills laid. You smiled at both of them awkwardly again and walked back downstairs. "Here you go. Keep the change," you handed him the money being careful not to touch him. If this was the mystery man which it didn't seem to be since he was standing in the house now and you didn't hear Jer invite him in. But you already had so much on your plate and you were not about to add one more.

"Thanks," he took the bills crumbling them in his hand again before turning towards the door. "And you have yourself a good night," his face was now more intense than it was before. The friendliness seemed to have completely disappeared. He continued staring at you walking out of the door backwards. You just smiled awkwardly and closed it. The weird feeling making your knees weak. It couldn't be him. It just couldn't be.


Charlie's POV

You strolled inside closing the door behind you scrunching your eyebrows together when you saw the chaos the house was in. Hundreds of books laid scattered everywhere. And you could hear more and more dropping every couple seconds. You walked up the stairs and into the library finding Damon. Which I guess you could have guessed since he was the only one who ever trashed the house on a normal basis. "What are you looking for Damon?" you asked scanning some of the titles that littered the ground around you. You shoved your hands in your back pockets knowing he probably wasn't gonna tell you.

"Not your concern," he brushed off not even bothering to look at you. "No but putting Kaylee in harms way now that is my concern," you walked closer to him eyeing him up and down. Trying to find any hidden clues as to what he was up too. "Heh heh," he let out one of those annoying laughs that always made you want to choke him. "What are you talking about?" his back was now to you as he scanned whatever book he had now. "I'm talking about Atlanta," you removed your hands from your pockets and folded them over your chest. "Oh yeah. Me and Kaylee had a blast," he chuckled again before finally turning towards you. "No care for Elena? I see you haven't fully gone soft on me," he wiggled his eyebrows at you before looking back down at the book in his grasp. "I'll leave that to Stefan," you replied sourly. "Aw why so sour little sister? Mad I didn't invite you?" He slightly looked up at you and smirked. "I get it. You're just bitter Stefan gets to be with who he loves and you don't. Poor Katherine is just out of reach," you poked hoping to get something out of it.

"Who said I still loved her? You're one to talk, how does it feel seeing Kaylee with Kyle?" You couldn't help but fake a laugh. "I'm sure the same way you feel when you see them together. and Are you joking? That little bitch had the 3 of us wrapped around her little finger for nearly a year. Didn't you ever wonder why Kaylee disappeared leaving to go live with some rich family in England and then Katherine shows up just after, how could you possibly think that's a coincidence? Because she watched us. She saw you, that you were in love with her. But that was after she had decided to make you two her little toys. But she had to get rid of the one thing that was standing in her way. Which was always K. We betrayed our friend. The love of your pathetic miserable life for someone who literally is the reason we are dead. Don't believe me? Ask Katherine because she told me the night they rounded up all the vampires in town. This was all her plan. And you so easily fell for it like the pathetic fool you are," you shook your head watching his body tense up as he digested your words. "But wait let me guess this is why you're on some crazy witch hunt because she told you she couldn't be around you anymore. Because she does remember now. Now it all makes sense why she's so easy to forgive you, why she feels you could convince her to do anything and vice versa. You were so good with her. I just don't get why you would throw that away unless you know she'll never be with you and your only hope is Katherine," you pushed further trying to get something anything out of him. He did nothing for a few seconds before glancing back at you, "Don't you have somewhere else to be?" he asked. You stuck your bottom lip out pretending to pout, "Oh come on big bro don't get all soft on me," you chuckled to yourself before heading upstairs leaving your words to eat up his insides. Not that anything you said wasn't true. But you knew it was so true it would hopefully get through to him. No one wanted Katherine back. No one.


Kaylee's POV

You and Jeremy had stayed up all night going through everything and finishing your papers. And finally around 4 AM you both passed out on the couches with pizza and snacks everywhere.

"School," Elena shook your both awake and you just groaned and got up. "I'm showering first," you bolted upstairs locking both doors to their bathroom and turning on the shower. It was days like this you were thankful that you always kept an extra change of clothes at their house.

Their shower didn't get nearly as hot as yours did at home but it still felt good. You quickly changed to black jeans and a baggy maroon sweatshirt with your schools logo all over it. You shrugged and brushed your teeth and combed through your hair quickly before throwing on the same beanie from the day before and headed downstairs. "Jer let's go or your riding with Elena!" you shoved his chest since he decided to fall back asleep while you were in the shower. You grabbed your phone grabbing a piece of pizza, "Crap I actually have to go now. I need to drop off my paper do you want me to drop yours?" you asked standing and grabbing your bag while the piece of pizza hung from your mouth. "Yes!" He shouted from the stairs. You grabbed both of your papers and put them in your binder and back in your bag and heading outside.

School wasn't far so you made it in plenty of time and parked in your normal spot next to Kyle's car. He must have had early practice since he was already here. You grabbed your bag and locked your car and headed inside.

Alaric's classroom was right inside so you stopped there first. "I don't think I've ever seen you at school this early," he chuckled actually seemingly genuinely surprised to see you. "Had a couple things to take care of. And I wanted to drop these off. Jer was running late so I just took both of ours," you handed him both and he quickly glanced over each before smiling back up at you. "I'll have these graded before class sound good?" you just nodded heading back out the door, "Thanks Ric," you grinned and walked back out into the hall.

"Guess who?" a voice asked and hands covered your eyes. "It better be my boyfriend or one of my best friends otherwise someone is getting a black eye today," you answered and they removed their hands and it was of course Kyle. He had been doing the same thing to you since you two were kids. "Feisty today, I like it," he intertwined his fingers with yours and you two couldn't help but laugh as you two walked towards you locker. "Why are you here so early?" he asked leaning against the locker next to yours. "needed to drop off my extra credit paper. I'm sorry I didn't call last night we really had to finish." you hung your bag inside and went to grab your books. "Look lets cut the first half of the day, we're both passing all of our classes now. And you need to train the full moon is in two days love. Its a lot," he urged stopping you from grabbing your books. "We can use the weight room since those classes aren't till the afternoon," he suggested. "I'm in," you closed your locker and took his hand again and he took you over to his locker grabbing a heavy ass bag from the bottom.

"Lets go," you two glanced up and down the hall seeing no one. So you snuck down the freshman hall and into the weight room. If you were gonna have to transition again and again for the rest of your life might as well get all the help you can get. It hadn't really hit you that you two would be wolves in 2 nights. Back on 4 legs finally like you had been itching to me. The cold mud under your nails. How you can smell and see everything so vibrantly. The cold wind ruffling your fur. You were made to be a wolf. You could feel it in every bone in your body. It was your destiny. Who you really were meant to be.
