Addison Gilbert POV*
The next morning in the Gilbert household I was walking out of my room towards the stairs when a familiar face walked out of Lena and Jeremy's shared bathroom.
I stopped and looked at the visitor confused, "Um, hey Vicki, what, uh, are ya doing, ya know, here?"
She looked at me as if she just got caught red handed, which she pretty much did. "Oh, uh, nothing really."
I gave her a small nod, before leaving her there in favor of going downstairs. And the kitchen is where I found my dear Auntie Jen giving Chloe a bottle.
I walked up to the pair and leaned against the counter after getting myself a cup of coffee. "So Jen, are you aware of the baby making that went on in this house last night?" I casually asked her while giving Chloe a big grin when she locked her perfect blue eyes with my brown orbs.
Jenna was about to answer me when my doe eyed twin came storming down the stairs. "Jenna! Are you aware of what's going on upstairs?"
"Uh-huh." Answering the both of us, pretty calmly, not how you'd expect a parent or guardian to react in this situation. Yet Jenna isn't really your normal guardian, she's better, she like, the best aunt you can find.
"And you have no objection?" Now, my twin sister and I are different in many ways, and this situation right here shows one of those ways.
Jenna just shrugged, removing Chloes empty bottle from her mouth and moving to burp her, "He could be craftier about it, at least make an effort to sneak her in and out." She paused looking between the 2 of us, "Oh, and just so you know, I won't be home for dinner."
Lena gave her a small smile, "Oh, so you're actually going to do it. You're gonna go out with Logan." She gonna what now?!
"Um excuse me, Jenna. What the hell are you doing with Logan Scum Fell. He's an asshole." I'm furious, and irked. I'm thoroughly irked right now!
Jen-dog gave me a look as she told us, "I'm going to show up and torture him, yes." She turned all of her attention on Lena as she asked, "And have you heard from Stefan?"
"Not since he left that very vague message three days ago. 'Hi, um, Elena, I, um, have something I have to do. I'll, uh, explain in a few days.'" Lena told her with a sad look on her face. Aw the poor thing.
"Haven't you called him?" Jen asked her amused as I tried to hide my laugh and sat down next to her and pulled Chloe into my lap.
Elena violently shook the cereal box she was using to pour said cereal into her bowl, "Nope. Not going to either." Now why do I have a hard time believing that?
"And you're ok with everything?" Aunt Jen asked her tenderly.
Yet Lanie girl didn't respond to tenderly, "No, I'm not ok with any of it. But I'm not gonna cry about it, either. You know, I was going to write in my diary this morning and then I thought, what am I going to write? Honestly, I'm not gonna be one of those pathetic girls whose world stops spinning because of some guy." And by the end of her little speech, I was honestly having a hard time pretending like I wasn't amused.
"Ok, then." Jenna said, in the same boat as me. Man when I grow up I wanna be like Auntie Jen, but ya know, plus a baby and all that jazz.
"I'll be fine." Lena said to her, before turning and leaving the kitchen. And after she did both Jenna and I glanced over at each other, and then we both burst out laughing not being able to contain it anymore.

Once at school, Lena, Bonnie, and I were standing together at our lockers when we saw Caroline walking down the hallway with fliers in her hands. "The sexy suds car wash is tomorrow. The football team and the band have committed. Well, not all the band. Just the ones who could pull off the bikini. I want, in your face, sexy. I mean, it's a fund raiser, for god's sake." Its weird to think that just the other night she was literally sobbing in my arms, and now she all back to normal.
And Lena seems to feel the same way as I do for once, "Unbelievable. It's like nothing happened."
"She's in denial." Bonnie told her.
I shrugged, still watching my blonde best friend, "Its still weird though. You don't go through what she did and act all fine and dandy afterword."
Before any of us could go anymore into detail Hot Back popped up beside us, "Hey."
Bonnie and I shared an awkward glance before she said, "Hey. You know, I gotta go. Be somewhere right now."
I pointed my thumb in the direction she went and told the two, "Yeah I'm just gonna... Yeah." And turned following after the girl.
From across the hall where I was hiding out I saw Care approach the two love-birds, so I made my way back towards them, "Stefan, where is Damon? He has some serious apologizing to do."
"He's gone, Caroline." Oh boy, I don't like where this is headed.
Care faltered a bit before asking, "When is he coming back?"
And Stef told her with an almost stone face, "He's not coming back. I'm sorry." Wait, so your telling me that the blue eyed asshole, that was stupid hot, and probably really kinky, and super fucking huge dick isn't coming back. I don't know why my chest is starting to ache right now, but I really don't like what it is implying.
I reached over and rested a hand on Caroline's arm when I saw her face fall. And Lena, not helping at all, told her, "This is a good thing, Caroline."
"I know that." Was all the distraught girl said before the bell rang and we all had to head to class.
—~•+•~—
After school was over and I had finished my shift at the daycare I was finally home and chilling on the couch in the living room watching an episode of Supernatural. Meanwhile Chloe's just having way too much fun swatting at her little toy that's basically a mobile for when the baby is lying on its back.
I was so into keeping my focus between my baby girl on the floor and the riveting episode of the Winchester Show playing on the stare box that it made me jump when my little brother plopped down beside me. "You've gotta help me with something."
I slowly turned my head to him, and barely raised an eyebrow as if to say, 'go on.' He sighed and leaned forward, "Stefan asked me to bait Elena downstairs to convince her to forgive him."
I mulled the thought over in my head for a few seconds. I just got home from taking care of a bunch of other peoples kids, and I really just wanna spend some time with my little angel. But at the same time, Lena deserves to have something good in her life for once, no matter how much of a bitch she can be at times, I still love her. And so I've made my decision. "Ugh fine. But you've gotta carry my little monster upstairs, and also her jumparoo."
He held his hand out, "Deal." And so commenced the super awesome handshake that we made together like 5 years ago when it was cool.
As of right now Lena is sulking in her bedroom, so I did what came natural, I ran straight in there, jumped (caught great air by the way) and landed halfway on top of her. She is so used to the stupid things I do sometimes that she barely flinched.
Jeremy came into her room not to long after I had taken up residence in her bed, "You ok?"
"Is Vicki in there?" Is all he got in return.
"Damn lil b, you need some ice for that burn?" I laughed out thoroughly enjoying this.
Jer just ignored me, ouch, "Don't answer a question with another question. Maybe. What's wrong with you?"
"I'm miserable." Lannie girl told him, and I looked up at him and caught him with a slight smirk on his face.
"Well, you should go get something to eat."
Once she had finally left her room, Jeremy and I high fived and we both went out separate ways into our respective bedrooms. When I had finally settled down and got comfortable with my world laying on the bed beside me I resumed watching the episode of Supernatural I was previously on.
—~•+•~—
At one point in the night I was woken up by a really odd feeling, like someone was calling to me, but I couldn't figure out where it was coming from.
I slowly sat up, trying not to disturb my daughter who was peacefully sleeping on the bed by me in a makeshift cot I had made out of my extra pillows and blankets. I looked up and noticed a crow sitting on my windowsill staring at me. I slowly got up and made my way towards the window when it suddenly cawed, scaring the living daylights out of me before it flew away.
Umm, talk about weird.
—~•+•~—
(Just the bikini top, the tank top is over the top)
Right now, I am exactly where I don't wanna be, standing in a stupid bikini top and short shorts getting tips left and right because my tits got bigger when I had my daughter. Said daughter is sitting over by Caroline in a little baby swim suit which I found so adorable. I still lathered her up in sunscreen and made sure that she would always be in some sort of shade to protect her sensitive baby skin.
I'm currently washing the car that both Matt and Bonnie were also washing. We're basically like, the modern day three musketeers. Anyways, as of right now, Matt is watching his ex, my twin, Elena kiss her new boyfriend Stefan. And I'm not the only one who has noticed his watchful eyes on them, "Uh-uh, no. None of that tortured pining stuff."
"I'm just observing." He told her, pretending that he didn't just get called out by miss Bon Bon.
"Mm-hmm." Bon hummed. She then noticed the new car that had just pulled into the lot, "Oh. Tiki. this one's yours."
"Why do I always get the homely ones? Just to be clear, your car's a P.O.S. I mean, we can wash it, but it's still a P.O.S." God, I don't know if I've ever told you this, but I fucking hate cheerleaders. And that statement is very odd coming from me as my two best friends are cheerleaders, and my sister literally used to be one. They are total bitches though. Even Caroline will admit to that.
Bon Bon obviously doesn't like this particular cheerleader very much either, "You don't have to be rude."
Tiki obviously needs to be taught a lesson about respecting her peers, "Rude is uglying up the road with that junk."
I looked over at Bonnie because I had noticed her stop working and got confused, but then all of the sudden it seemed like Tiki was getting attacked by the water in her suds bucket. And it was actually hilarious, especially when Machew ran up to her and yelled, "Wet and wild, Tik."
—~•+•~—
Awhile later I was standing over by Caroline at the money table because I had just went and fed Chloe, when Elena came up to the two and a half of us. "Hey, we're out of towels and those shimmy things."
Caroline nodded, "I'll go get some more. Mind the money. Adds, come with me." I juts shrugged and followed the blonde into the school.
And so we were off, I had put Chloe back in her car seat though, I feel like it gives her better shade and keeps her body temperature down lower. Walking in the school was just a little bit spooky due to the fact that there was no one swarming us and all of the lights being off.
When we got to the janitors closet Care tried to open the door only to find it locked, "I thought they were supposed to keep it open for us today. Did they give you a key?" I askedbut found that Caroline was walking down the hallway not listening to me. "Care?"
I went to follow her, maybe even get her attention, when she went running down the hall way. So I did the only thing I could think of.
I ran after her.
When we ended up in the teachers parking lot by her car that she opened the door of before looking at me expectantly, "Well are you coming or not?"
I slowly walked to the back door and started to secure Chloe's seat. I glanced at my friend sitting in the drivers side waiting for me to finish getting situated. Once I was finally done I made my way to the passenger door and got in, and she took off like a bat out of hell.
We were on the road for like 2 minutes before I gathered up the courage to ask the women on a mission a question, "So, um, where exactly are we going?" I tried to sound as casual as possible, but ill have you know that I am a terrible actor.
She rewarded me with silence so I decided to leave it alone for the time being. Man it would be a bummer if she was leading me to my death right now.
About 10 minutes later we were sitting in front of the Salvatore boarding house, much to my confusion, because neither of us have a reason for being here. "Caroline, what the hell are we doing here?"
She ignored me as she got out and started making her way into the house. I hurried up and threw my back pack on and unbuckled Chloe, rushing into the house after her.
I followed closely behind her as she started going down a set of stairs that led to a cellar, and went through a door on the far wall. I was shocked when I walked into the second room to find a dungeon like area with a cell.
And in the cell like room was none other than my favorite kinky blue eyed asshole, sitting against the wall looking extremely pale. I tried to hide my gasp as Caroline rushed to the door, and I slowly walked up on her left.
"Damon? Damon? Damon? Oh, my god! What is this? How did I know that you were here?" She asked confused. And you know what, I'm thinking the same exact thing.
"Because I wanted you to." He looked over at me, "Both of you. Very, very badly. Let me out of here. Please." As if sensing my distress with this whole situation, Chloe started getting fussy, letting out a small cry before all out screaming as if she was throwing a tantrum.
I ignored the other two as I tried to sooth her, "Awe baby girl, what the matter?" I bounced her a bit, "Everything is okay, its alright baby."
What brought my attention back on my best friend and man in the cell was said man telling Caroline, "You remember what I want you to remember. And now that the vervain has passed out of your system, you won't remember what you're about to do."
I spoke up, talking to him for the first time in a couple days, "And what is she about to do Damon?"
"She's gonna open the door." He told me before turning back to Caroline, "You're gonna open the door."
I watched as Caroline moved the hatch on the door, unlocking it before suddenly a man, Zach Salvatore, ran into the room shouting, "No! No!" This caused my baby, who I had gotten to stop crying but was still letting out soft whimpers scream again.
He tried to keep the door shut, basically trapping me between him and the wall. "Get out of here. Run! Run!" He yelled at Care, who at that point had turned and was already high tailing it up the stairs.
Then suddenly Damon was out of the cell. I heard a scream as I watched the man snap Zach's neck. Actually, I'm pretty sure that was me that screamed. I stood there staring at the dead body of a man that I had been in acquaintance with since as long as I could remember, not registering the sound of my daughter that was sobbing in my arms.
At some point I had slid down the wall I was pressed against, so was sitting on the floor crying, because I've never seen a person get killed before, and it's terrifying.
I looked up, hearing footsteps on the stairs, maybe its Caroline, she got away from Damon and now she's coming back for me. Oh boy was I wrong.
Damon stepped into the room, making me shoot up, jolting Chloe in the process making her cry again. I feel terrible, but I can't protect her if I'm sitting on the ground. I was getting closer and closer to going into fight mode as he was got closer to me. I took a swipe at him when he was right in front of me, but he just caught my arm before saying, "Calm down. I'm not gonna hurt either of you. Lets go upstairs."
He let go of my arm and turned to go up the stairs as I just stood there in shock. He just killed his uncle, snapped his neck like it was nothing, and now he's all calm and expects me to just follow him like none of this has happened. I was shaken from my thoughts as he spoke again, "Addison. Lets go."
Before I knew it, I was following him up the stairs, and when we stopped by an open window I gave him a curious look. "Close it, shut the curtains." He told me. Yeah right, like I'm gonna follow orders from some mad man that just killed his own family. He looked me directly in the eyes and said it again, "Close the window and shut the curtains."
I glared at him, finally at my breaking point. "You know what, fuck you, I'm not closing anything! Do you want to tell me why the hell you were locked in your own cellar in what looks like torture chamber, because that shit isn't normal?" I took a deep breath before speaking again, "And you just killed someone! Like what the hell? You just killed your own uncle like it was nothing. What's wrong with you?"
He just stared at me as I was off on my tangent and all he said when I was done was, "Nephew."
"What?" I asked giving him a weird look.
"He's my nephew, not my uncle." I stared at him.
"Wha- How is that even. I mean, that's not poss-" He cut me off.
"He my nephew because I was born in 1839." I just blankly stared at him.
"As I was saying, there's no way you'd have to be like 170 years old right now." He just raised an eyebrow at me. "Your kidding right, because there is defiantly no way tha-" He cut me off again.
"Oh its 100 percent possible. Because you see sweet heart, Im a vampire." Then he flashed his fangs at me, and its hard for me to admit, but I defiantly fainted a second later.
—~•+•~—
When I woke up again I was sitting in the passenger seat of an unfamiliar car. I looked around and found that Chloe was sitting in a car seat in the back. "Finally, your awake. Do you know how hard it is to change a diaper if you've never done it before?"
I slowly exhaled and looked over at the person in the drivers seat, physically shuddering when I saw the bane of my existence driving the vehicle. I didn't answer him I just slowly took in my situation.
I'm sitting in a moving car going who knows where with a beautiful yet murderous man driving and my daughter sleeping in the back. Oh and I also have no idea where my phone is at the moment. Wow Addison, look at what you've gotten yourself into this time.
I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt the car stop. "Well, here we are." I lifted my head and looked out the window, seeing that we were parked in front of my house. Is he serious?
I looked back over at him, seeing if he was just taunting me before he killed me, or if this was for real. All he did was raise an eyebrow at me before motioning me to get out.
I slowly opened my door and got out, before opening the back door and reaching to take the whole car seat but Damon spoke, "Leave it, just take her."
I didn't say anything as I lifted her from the seat and slowly moving to shut it, and when I did I walked as fast as I could to the front door. After I opened the door I looked back at Damon who was still sitting in front of the house and giving me a wave, before he took off.
I hurried inside, basically slamming the door, before leaning my back against it.
What the hell just happened?
