Chapter Four: You're Undead To Me Part 1

Laurel P.O.V

I couldn't believe what I just sat in on, not just a secret town council, but a secret town council that decade to hunting vampires. vampires! of all things. My mind was still swaying with what I just discover, that the town I grown up beside, believe in vampires. I know Mystic Falls has an interesting history but this was insane.

"Vampires! Do-do I believe in vampires!" I snapped out, with shock gracing my face. I thought this meeting was going to be about the town or the community; the school, not vampires or a secret vampire hunter council.

"Your all joking right?" I ask looking around the room, hoping I was being punked. "Right!" They have to be, there no such thing as vampires, only in fiction. What was Danni thinking when pitching moving back here, no wonder he left this town in the first place. These people were crazy and what they are saying is insanity, vampires aren't real.

Carol wall over to me. "I know it's hard to believe Laurel, but it's the truth...we are not alone." Carol said to me, I turn to Logan. I know we don't each other for to long, but he's been nice to me and the girl's. Treated us like family, even those I know he could careless about us. I just hope that this was his bad idea at a welcome to the family joke.

I took my eyes away from Carol. "Please tell me your not serious?" I practically pleaded out while looking to Logan for the truth, but something deep down inside of me already knew what his answer would be. But I just couldn't bring myself to say it out loud.

"That this is a awfully told welcome to the founding families type of joke." I ask backing away from them, this was to weird and crazy. These people couldn't be serious about this, vampires are myths and fairy tales characters you can dress up as for Halloween.

"I wish it was, but it's not." He said walking over to stand next to Liz.

"This town had them before." The sheriff said.

"Before?"

"It's a long story." Carol said to me. Daniel what have you gotten us into...I know he taught and research on myths, legends and even the occults. But this was another level of weird and I always know Mystic Falls was a bizarre town, but not this bizarre. I mean we live in small towns with killers and murders, but vampires was brand new.

"Hey your back." I look up from the ash grey oak floor of the foyer, to see Tori stand a few feet away by the kitchen entrance. I weakly smile at my youngest, good they made it home.

I cleared my voice as I push my off the red. "Yeah, I just got in." I said walk towards her, taking my jacket off and look around. "Where Your Sister?"

"Right here." Alex said appearing from the kitchen with a bowl of ice cream in her hand, I up and I smile at her to. Good. She's getting back to her normal self. I was so worried a few months ago, about telling her we were moving again, I thought that she wouldn't be able to handle it and spiral out of control when we just got her back. But she was happy about it or pretend for my benefit, but I knew for sure she was happy to get away from Rosewood, specially after what happened to her there.

"I thought you'll stay later or stay with a certain Salvatore, that you were dancing and laughing with the entire night." Tori teased. I had a good night, until my world got put on its ass by a century old secret that may or not be true and dating was the last ting running through my mind.

"It really didn't go nowhere. He lack conversation." I down played it cooly, I didn't want them to know about this. We were just try to get back to normal or close too it as possible. Last thing they need to know, is that they're father's ancestors were devote to destroying vampires...And who's to say they would believe me, they would probably think I've gone crazy. Maybe we should just leave or try to movie to the city or something, no I can't do that. The girls would think something wrong and I just started my job here. I'll have to search all over again for a job and a school for the girls to go to, and I can't just pluck them out of school and a new house to move all over aging.

"Well you know what the old saying is-" Alex started.

"Theirs plenty of fish in the sea." Tori finish, I didn't have the guts to tell them that I'm not exactly ready for the dating scene just yet. Most kids didn't want theirs parents to date or move on to anybody else, specially after they lost the other parents. But it made me happy to know whenever I get read to, they'll support me no matter what and I did have fun. And Zach was the perfect gentleman, but now I have to worry about a ancient family secret and juggling raising two teenagers.

"Yeah. I think I'm going to call it a night." I said tiered which was the truth, I walk towards the stairs case to my right. "I had to much to drink it seem." I told them, while making my way up the stairs not looking back. "Night girls."

"Well okay, good night." Tori said, but she didn't seem convinced with my story. I know the girls wanted me to be happy or to find someone, but I don't think I'm ready for that just yet, I don't think none of us are. But Daniel, he was my first and still is the love of my life and it's going to take all of us some time to grieve and mourn him. But now I can't let history repeat it's self, not with my girls. If what council say is truth, then that means everything I knew about my life, my husband's and his family life was a complete lie and as sad as it sounded it, I would have to face the truth at some point. I can't run, maybe that why he move us around some much because of vampires. But how am I supposed to protect my daughters from something that suppose to be fictional, a myth and a awful bedtime story.

Moments before

Alex P.O.V

I was still steam after find out what Damon was doing to Caroline, and to think that moments before I was actually stick up for the jerk to Stefan. What a Bastard...But still, it didn't explain why Stefan didn't seem the tiny as bit bother finding out Damon was abusing Carolina. I mean if I had just found out my brother was abusing my girlfriend best friend, I would be in complete shock, disgusted and overall in disbelief. Maybe that why he didn't believe me, because I didn't have any fiscal proof or evidence to back claim. They are brother's, but they don't seem as close... Huh just let it go Alex, I don't even know why I'm overthinking this in the first place. And not only that, I once again mange to get involved in the epic Salvatore brotherly rivalry yet again.

"Alex."

"But the next time I see Damon again-"

"Alex."

"I swear I'm gonna kick his...

"Alexandria!"

"Huh." I took my eyes away from ground to look at Tori who was stand by front door.

"Did you hear anything that I just said?"

"Oh sorry, I kind of got lost in thought. What were you say again?"

Tori looked at me for a moment before huff out dramatically. "Never mind." She's said with irritation lacking her voice, while storming off towards the kitchen. What's her problem? I decided to follow after her, I don't know my she's giving me the cold shoulder.

"What is your damage?" I step into the kitchen, looking at Tori who was grabbing a water bottle from frigid.

"I don't know what your talking about."

"Really." I said in a deadpan tone, while walking over towards the white Island. "Because ever since this morning you be acting really doughy towards me and I don't understand why."

"Whatever Alex." she said while facing the refrigerator with her back facing me. I swear these kids need to grow their vocabulary.

"It's not whatever. Because if it was you wouldn't be act so moody and cagey towards me."

She finally decided turn and face me as she said. "Why don't you go hang out with your news best friends." That when realization hit me, this was about Elena.

"Peace don't tell me your jealous of Elena." She stared at for a moment before lightly shrugging her shoulders in response. I blown her off this morning to hang out with Elena and Bonnie, so that why she didn't want my help with getting ready for the party.

"Tori you cant be serious, You and mom are the ones that wanted me to fit in and I'm doing that." I was being social and trying to fit in, so they wouldn't worry to some much about me.

We only stared at each for a moment, but it felt like an eternity. Me and Tori never had a spat over something so little such as friends, and grant we always had the same friend group do to us being a year a part. But never argue over friendship.

Tori decided to break are silenced stare down. "Huh, Look for what it's worth I'm not mad at you, it just I thought after everything you went though you wouldn't try so hard."

"Trust me I didn't try at all, it sort of just happened." I shrugged, which was the truth. I honestly believe if I didn't look like Elena that she and everyone else wouldn't be giving me the time of day. Even if didn't Tanner put me on the spot or being a part of a founding family, I'm pretty sure I would've been nothing more background noise to theme.

"But no one will ever replace you Tori, you will always be my little sister and best friend."

"Thank."

"Hey Tori, I need you to do something for me."

Tori P.O.V

I was already plan to go to Caroline's house today and check up on her, but after Alex had told me what Damon was doing to Caroline I decided to make it the First stop on my list. I never meet Damon personally, but I seen him my first day of cheer practice. I thought he was hot and bad ass in his car and everything, but now he just seem like a major jerk. Now it was just Me and Bonnie were in Caroline bedroom, as she tried to remember her time with Damon.

"I remember the party." Caroline was explaining what happened last night at the Lockwood's house. I didn't get the chance to hang out with anyone last night, because I was so busy with being past around like rag doll to have any fun.

"Damon came up behind me, and he was kissing my neck, or biting my neck." It seems like she couldn't remember what happened to herself or Damon manipulated her not to. I've seen enough fatal attraction tv shows to know how this one ends, l seen it in person. So I feel for Caroline, she's been a big ball of sunshine since I moved here, and she's was another girl being token advantage of by a low life scumbag.

"I passed out. It's like there's holes in my memory lately. It's just weird. Maybe I let him bite me." Caroline was to perky to be the type to do drugs, and I got all of that from my tryout which was my first of school.

I look up from my celebrity magazine to look at her with a raised eyebrow. "Why would you do that?" Don't get me wrong, Caroline was probably into a little fifty shades of grey stuff. But from what I heard, those bites marks wasn't sexy Mr. Grey wants to see now type of marks.

"Can we just not talk about it, ok? Don't want to talk about Damon. I don't want to talk about any of it." She walk over to her full length mirror

"Just want to go back to normal."

"Normal it is this then." I said sitting on beside Bonnie on the bed, while looking through my magazine.

"Good." She said turning back to the mirror. "What are you doing with that candle?" She ask Bonnie while still look at here self in the mirror.

"Um...nothing. What's this?" Bonnie ask sees the crystal.

"Damon gave it to me. Or he was going to give it to me. All I know is, it's mine now." I knew she still has feelings for him even if she wouldn't admit to anyone, but keeping jewelry from a guy who was abuse just scream I still love you.

"It's ugly." I said taking in my hands looking it over, for a guy like Damon to have a cool looking car, you'll think his taste in jewelry would be better.

"Well, get your grubby hands off it." She walk over and took from me.

Alex P.O.V

"So the sexy suds car wash is tomorrow. The football team and the band have committed." I was leaning against my lock door, as me, Bonnie and Elena watching a very perky Caroline handing out flyers to students walking past. "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." She was talking to my sister and a group of cheerleaders, about a sexy car that the school was have tomorrow. I was surprised the school let us call it a sex car wash I don't know how Caroline manage that one out. But Bonnie had warred me and Tori that being Caroline's friends means you'll be unwillingly participating in school activities.

"Unbelievable. It's like nothing happened." I said out loud shaking my head in disbelief at the site in front of me, while Elena and Bonnie looked on. I couldn't believe she was pretending that nothing happened, I know I couldn't talk but still.

"She's in denial." Elena replied. We've been trying to figure out away to help Caroline, but from what I got from Tori. Caroline still hold a small flame for Damon who has some how completely disappeared, along with Stefan.

"Who really know when it comes to Caroline." Bonnie shrugged.

"Hey." A deep male startled us from behind, we all whirl around to see Stefan, who none of us haven't see in days. Maybe he finally got Damon arrested or something, now we would have heard something by now. Maybe if I wish hard enough it might actually come true.

"Hey. You know, I gotta go." Bonnie started to say, as she started to walk away from us. "Be somewhere right now." Then completely rushed off. Elena told me the reason she was throwing that dinner party, was to get Bonnie to warm up to Stefan. She said Bonnie got a weird vibe from Stefan and it's only gotten bad after the Tanner incident. I think Stefan a over all nice a guy, just seems like he's so secretive or he might not be us to having a lot of people a round him or having attention.

"I'm so sorry I haven't called." Stefan was say to Elena as we all stared to make are way down the hall.

"No worries. I'll live." Elena said.

I look up from the floor at Stefan. "What happened to you anyways?" I ask him, he look at me and for the first time since I met him, he looked at peace. He normally he seem like he's on edged, but with a brother like Damon anyone would be.

He shrugged. "I was dealing with Damon." And that's explains it, I was so surprised how calm he was tho. Maybe Zach kicked him out the boarding house.

"And did you...deal with Damon?" I question. I only been around Damon twice and beside at the game when he try to lay one on me. His personality overall just screams trouble and danger. So I highly doubt Stefan could put his older brother in check, Damon didn't seem like the type to be easily tamed.

"Yeah." He said, but I wasn't to sue Stefan had Damon under control.

"For four days?" Elena chimed in with a raised eyebrow.

"You have every right to be upset with me. But can I explain it all to you? Please." Stefan plead to her.

"Sure. When?" She ask and we stop walking all together.

"I gotta be home after school, but The Grill, around four o'clock?"

"Ok." Elena

"Thanks." Stefan

"Stefan, where is Damon?" Caroline rush up to Stefan and stop us all. "He has some serious apologizing to do." Caroline said seriously.

"He's gone, Caroline." Stefan answered, wasn't expecting that's to happened. But Damon did seem like the type to belt

"When is he coming back?"

"He's not coming back. I'm sorry." Stefan explain as him Elena walk away.

"This is a good thing, Caroline." I stood in front of her holding her shoulder.

"I know that." She said sounding so deferred.

Mystic Grill

I had to work to day, I'm not complaining about it or anything. But if I was being honest I like working at the grill, it wasn't the worst job in the world. But no matter how much Tori teased me, I'll never spill about it. Plus I get free food and a pay check out of it, and nothing says happy like free French fries. I was walking over to give Matt's his order, until I saw Elena walk in looking around for something or certain Salvatore.

"Hey Elena, do you me want me to get you anything?" I ask walk up to her.

"Uhm no thanks." She said looking around still.

"Looking for someone?"

"Stefan. He said will met after school here." She reply still searching around the packed joint.

"Well I haven't seen him." I reply to her as we walking over to Matt, who was at one of the pool tables. "Here you go Matt." I hand Matt his drink.

"Hey, Matt, um, have you seen Stefan?" Elena ask walk to stand by his side.

"Nope." He said shooting one of the balls into the hole. "But If you want to kill some time, um, you can rack. Come on. We haven't played in forever. I'll let you break."

"And there's Vicki, all nonchalant in the bathroom like it's no big deal that they're hooking up." Elena

"Yeah, I'm not gonna lie. Your brother and my sister, that's weird." Matt

"Yeah." Elena's as she took a look at her phone, meaning Stefan late for the date he made.

"How late is he?" I ask her, she's been checking her phone every five minutes.

"Hitting the hour mark." Elena said lining up her cue stick.

"Nothing's wrong though. Which means I'm not talking boy problems with either of you." She shoots the cue ball into the hole.

"Good. I mean, it's not like we were ever best friends or anything." He said, I thought it was cute he still had feeling for Elena.

"Ok. Here goes-- What do you guys think of Stefan? Is he a good guy?" She ask looking between the two of us.

"Why? what's he done?" Matt ask

"Not any one thing. He's just so secretive all the time. I think there's something that he doesn't want me to know, which makes me want to know all the more." She laid out to us,

"Like what? Like that he's a serial killer and he keeps a clown suit in his trunk?" I joke around, I didn't want

"No, of course not. But what do we know about him, really?"

"He's great at football." Matt comment.

"A little bit of a loner." I chimed.

"And as much as I hate saying it, he might be a nice guy." Matt admitted.

"So do you guys think I'm just being paranoid?" Elena ask us, me and Matt share a look.

"Do you want my honesty opinion?" She shook her head yes.

"Paranoid no. But a bit, clingy yes." I said

"Clingy!"

"Look, guys like Stefan who are loners tend to keep to themselves for reasons." I try to explaining. "So when questioned constantly maybe he feel under siege."

"I just want to know more about him." She's said.

"I think you should talk to him." Matt said to her, jus as Stefan appears, coming toward us.

"Talk to who? I'm so sorry that I'm late."

"What happened?" Elena ask with worry filling her voice.

"I got held up." Stefan

"Is everything ok?"

"There was this thing with my uncle." Stefan said, now that sound like a lie.

"And you couldn't call and tell me that you were going to be an hour late?" She said.

"Ok. You two have fun." Matt walking away from the awkward couple spat.

"I'm really sorry. It was unavoidable." Stefan

"What was unavoidable? Ok." Elena goes to leave.

"Oh, uh, Elena, please..." Stefan

"No, Stefan, don't you get it?" Elena "Every question gets a vague non-answer. What is so awful that you're afraid to tell me?" He was about to answer until an old man walks up to Stefan.

"I know you. My God." The guy said.

"I'm sorry?" Stefan

"I know you. How can it be?" He said looking at Stefan with disbelief.

"I think you have the wrong person, sir." Stefan

"You haven't aged a day."

"I'm sorry. Excuse me." He said to the old man rushing to catch Elena "Hey, can we...can I take you home and we can talk about it? Is that ok?" Stefan ask starts pushing Elena towards the door, but She stops.

"Wait, what was that?"

"I--I don't know. uh, nothing." He said

"Right, nothing. Ok, um...I gotta go, Stefan." She said while leaving. "Excuse me." She leaves out. I decided to rush after her, even those Stefan keep secrets he made Elena happy.

"Hey wait up." I said trying to up to catching her.

"What is Alex."

"I know you haven't known me that long, but you should try to hear him out." I said to her. "Maybe he's not good with sharing or being open with people."

"Alex I tried. I want so much to make things right," She was saying and I could tell how this was bothering her so much, all she wanted was to be close to him.

"but every instinct in my body is telling me to be careful. What you don't know can hurt you." Elena said. "I got go. I'll see at the car wash okay." She said and walk off, I watch her walk to her car and drive off. After I decided to go back inside the grill and try not to lose my job. But as I was making my way to the bar, I saw the sheriff talking to Long of all people. I know their both founder's and probably knew each their entire lives...but still, whatever they were talking about seem serious, so I decided to be a busybody and listen in on their conversation.

"We went over the entire west side of the lake. All the caverns by the falls were clean, no signs of habitat." Sheriff Forbes was saying to Logan.

"Then they're staying in town." He answered. But who's they. I walk over to a near by table to go and collet the glasses left behind and to hear better.

"We canvassed all abandoned buildings and warehouses." She wen on, this must not be about the attacks then, I'm probably being the paranoid one here. I decided to walk away from this, I just told Elena she was being clingy and here I am being extra nosey about something that has nothing to do with me.

"There has to be a private residence."

"And that much harder to locate, if not impossible. These creatures are smart. they know how to go undetected." Creatures? what creatures? How can a wild animal go undetected in a public ear of all places.

"Alex!" I look to see one of the waitresses by the bar call my name. "Table three waiting for their Oder."

"Oh, Coming." I walk away puzzled. I only hard about one animals attack since moving here, and that was Vicki's and that happened before I got here. Another weird town it seems, maybe we should move to the city.

Today was the Sexy, suds, car wash and also Saturday, which is my day off. But instead of spending it watching trashy reality tv and gorging myself sick on snacks like a regular anti-social teenager, Caroline and the spirt squad decided to have it today of all days. The only reason I was here was because I got roped into being an extra volunteer by Tori, who pleaded with me that Caroline was a slave driver and she need someone with goods to sale in order today to be a successful event. Whatever that mean.

"No friend discounts. No freebies. No pay ya laters. We are not running a charity here. No, we are not." Caroline was explaining to me.

"No we are not." I shaking my head, while trying to holding back my laughter. I had decided to wear basic red triangle two piece bikini and matching thong, with light denim shorts and black flat lace-up sandals that I wrapped around my ankles. I turn to walk away and Saw Stefan and Elena arrives.

"The event is called sexy suds, you know." Caroline said walking right past them.

"Did we just get scolded?" Stefan ask me taking a Caroline, then turn back to me.

"Don't feel to bad, I got scolded and peer pressured for wearing a basic white Breyer." I said smiling. "I think Caroline trying to pimp us out." I whisper out and Elena giggled, I walk over to Matt and Bonnie who were washing a car together.

"uh-uh, no. None of that tortured pining stuff." Bonnie said to Matt, I look over Stefan and Elena washing a car together and share a kiss. Ouch. It seems Stefan's surprise dinner plan won Elena over, since she spent all night gushing to me about over the phone. But it didn't seem like me and Bonnie were the only ones seeing, the P.D.A affection going on between the couple.

"I'm just observing." Matt breath coolly to us, I was buying it. First loves hurt, not even a jock like Matt can't deny that. But Matt wasn't like other jocks or boys or that matter, if anything he's like Stefan.

"You should be observes you handy work, Caroline wants "Happy!" paying customers. You got it!" Tori bit out and walk way.

"Got it." I said as Tori walk off to then next car, I'm start to fear for little sister.

"Dose she had a clip board in her hand?" Matt ask us, as we look at Tori critique Dana and Chad scrubbing a window.

"Yeah. Yeah she doss." Bonnie nod, as her and Matt started to laughter.

"If I have take Caroline 2.0 home, I think I might scream." I said

"Hah-Good luck with that." Matt said to me.

"Oh goody." I sung out, as we went back to washing the car. Then another one pull up beside us, I looked around for another person until Bonnie found someone else.

"Oh. Tiki. this one's yours." She called out to a girl.

"Why do I always get the homely ones?" She complained.

"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." Tiki to the guy after he step out his car.

"You don't have to be rude." I urge out, if I'm here unwieldy getting wet, then so was everyone else. With no complaining in attendance.

"Rude is uglying up the road with that junk."She's said to me, I was about bite back until the water holes got out of hand and start to splash water all over Tiki.

"Whoa! What the hell?"

"Wet and wild, Tik." Matt call out.

"You missed it, water all over her." I was telling Stefan my story about what happened to Tiki, not the most interesting thing in the world but I'm trying to be more of a social butterfly and Stefan seem like he needs more friend.

"It was weird." I shrugged. I also deiced to keep Stefan company, since Elena was with Tori washing Jenna car. I noted that he didn't have to many friends beside me and a apprehensive Bonnie, probably because he had to spend all his time babysitting Damon. But as bad as he is, I found myself feeling sad that he was gone. I don't know why, but I did...maybe because he was just another person like me, misunderstand sometimes and person who's lost someone he love and would do anything to have the feeling go away.

"Maybe it was the water pressure." He said, I look down a noted his ring.

"You're getting soap in that." I said pointing a finger.

"Oh, it's fine." It was a really beautiful ring, but I guess I shouldn't be to surprise he did give me and Elena some cool pieces of jewelry.

"I noticed that Damon has one, too. Is there a story behind it?" I asked out of curiosity, Elena was right know seem to a lot about Stefan and if we're go be friends I want to know more about him. Because the only person that seems to know anything is Caroline.

"Yeah, it's the family crest from the Italian renaissance."

"Hmm. What's the stone?"

"It's called lapis lazuli."

"I'm more of a turquoise and chrysocolla girl." I said.

"Earth tones?" He stated, I nod my head.

"But you should really take it off. I could put it in my bag." I offered.

"No, it's...it's fine, really. Thanks, though."

"Ok. I'm gonna get some towels."

"Ok."

"Hey captain my captain-" I said to Caroline, then saw Tori next to her "And co-captain, we're out of towels and those shimmy things." I said to the both of them.

"I'll go get some more." Caroline said getting up from her sit. "Mind the money." She ask Tori, my sister only gave her a thumbs up as answer.

"Hey! no car no wash, you bunch of free loaders!" I heard Tori yelled at group of stoners.

I followed I close behind Caroline as we walk down hallway. "I think I'm only gonna need a hand full. If Tiki doesn't deiced to piss off anymore people." I said to her looking around, but she came to an abrupt stop, which almost caused me to crash into her.

"Do you hear that?" She stop fully and looked around the empty hallway.

I look around me then turn back to Caroline. "Hear what?" I didn't hear or see anything out the blue, just empty hallway with lockers.

"Don't you here it?" She pressed out just look forward.

"No Care." I said taking a step from behind her and walk to stand in front of her.

"Caroline?" It seem like space out on me. "Um Hello!" I sung. "Caroline this isn't funny. This is your car wash we're missing out on." I bit out, I grabbed her shoulder and lightly shaking her still not getting anywhere. Until.

"Help me. Help Caroline." I saw Damon on the floor, looking dirty and pale. "Please." I snatch my hand away, what the fuck was that. As Caroline ran off.

"Caroline! Dude!" It didn't look like she was going to stop, so I running after her. Know exactly who she was running to.

Like an idiot I ran after Caroline, she told me she had to go to the Salvatore boarding house to see Damon. Damon! Of all people. But I found it weird, she wanted to see Damon when he had left town, Stefan's said it himself. But I tagged along to prove to her that he was there, I believe Stefan's Uncle Zach was there. Maybe he couldn't talk some scene into her or at least give her an explanation about Damon, because Stefan pretty was acting doggy about it when Caroline ask the first time. And I chocked that up to their sibling rivalry and them not being close.

We made it to the boarding house, this was actually my first time ever being here. I was about to ring the door bell, until Caroline walk right on in without even knocking.

"Caroline! I don't think we should just berg in." I said following after her. The last thing we need it was Zach to think we're burglars or killers.

"Hello!" I called out, but no answer. Caroline just keep walking, I gave up and just followed her. She must've have been her before, if she knows where she's going. Caroline keep walking, until we got to a door that must led to the basement, but when we enter I realize it was a cellar.

We finally got down the stairs, until I got the feeling of fear. Like ever bone in my body telling to not go any further, my blood ran cold as ever set we took. "Caroline, help me. Caroline. Help me." I hard in the distance, then I realize...was that Damon.

I scan the cellar that was dirty, until Caroline ran over to some cell doors...cell door. What the hell was going on. "Damon? Damon?" She call out, she peered into the locked door, to see a dirty, pale looking Damon.

Stefan had told Elena and me he was handling Damon at the founder's party, was this way of doing it. "Damon? Oh, my god! What is this?" Caroline gasped. "How did I know that you were here?"

He struggled to stand up "Because I wanted you to. Very, very badly. Let me out of here. Please." Damon wizzing out, as he made his way toward the cell door and peered out at us.

"Nice bikini." He said looking me over, then throwing a winking my way. "And belly piercing."

"Ew!" I look him up and down. "You Look dusty." I smirk at him, but he mange to weakly grin back.

"You bit me." Caroline call out.

"You liked it. Remember?"

"Who would like that you ass!" I exclaimed, he ignored me and kept his gaze towards Caroline.

"Why do I keep remembering the same things, but in different ways?"

"You remember what I want you to remember." Damon's said sternly. I can't believe this, where was Zack. "And now that the vervain has passed out of your system, you won't remember what you're about to do."

"What am I about to do?" Caroline said robotically.

"You're gonna open the door."

"Caroline, I don't thi-" I trying to say.

"No!" I hard someone yell from behind us, I turn to see who it was abscess saw Zack. I look towards to cell door and saw that it was to late, Caroline unlocked it.

"No! Get out of here." Zack rush to the door and try to shove it close with his shoulders, he turn to look at us. "Run! Run!" He order us, I grabbed Caroline and push her to the stair to run. I look back to see Damon snap Zach neck, then push him into the walk. Damon then fixed his gaze at me and I deiced to Scooby-Doo the hell out of here, real quick. I was right behind Caroline, until fell hand on my ankle and trip trying to take a step. Look over my shoulder to see Damon trying to desperately craw up the stairs, I yanked myself lose and he finally let me go as I scrambled myself up and counted my running.

Caroline had already made it out the cellar, I was right behind her, as I quickly made my through halls and almost mange to slip on the carpet. But I kept a fair pace behind Caroline as we made are way towards the door. As we reach the entrance I felt a grip on my arm, But I mange to ting away right as I hear a sharp scream from behind me. I turn to see Damon bend over on the floor but as his hand block the sunlight and his skin turn a dark shade of pink. I don't know why but I kept running and didn't look back.
