I walked downstairs. By now, I was beginning to get used having all of the vampires in the house. I didn't like it, but I was getting used to it. I had also accepted that there was nothing that I could do about it. One of the vampires was getting a haircut even though being desiccated stopped your hair from growing. He probably just wanted a change. I saw Bethanne dancing with some of the other females. I didn't know a lot of their names because I never cared to learn them. I didn't want to learn them. I wanted them to leave.

"Hey Bethanne." I greeted because I felt like being nice. I noticed some of them were watching TV, but didn't know how to change the channel, so I went over and showed them because it was annoying. I then walked into the dining room and noticed Frederick feeding from Miss Gibbons. I never liked that guy.

"Hello Anna, would you like some?" Miss Gibbons asked.

"No." I declared. I then looked at her. "Why don't you go upstairs and wash up."

I then walked into the kitchen where I found that my mother and Harper had my phone. Now Harper I liked, because he was a good guy. She was trying to teach him how to text. I needed my phone when I went out. Harper ended up pushing the voicemail button and dropped it on the table.

"Hey, Anna. I need to talk to you about the other night. Call me." Elena's message said. I quickly grabbed the phone.

"Sorry, did I break it?" Harper asks.

"No." I told him.

"Who was that?" Mom questioned. I hadn't told her about Elena. I had no intention to.

"Is she a friend of yours?" Harper asked.

"No." I lied. "I need my phone."

"So what do you think?" Mom asked. She was wearing a woman's suit.

"Very respectable." I declared. She was meeting with Elena's aunt to see about buying her old shop back. It wasn't in use because it had belonged her father before he died.

"That's the goal." She stated. "I can't say that I miss corsets."

"Where are you going?" Frederick asked.

"We have some business in town. We'll be back as soon as we can." Mom declared. I would have told him it was none of his business. "I trust that I can count on you to keep an eye on things."

"So, I'm the babysitter now." He replied.

"Frederick, if this is going to work, we have to cooperate." She stated.

"So you say." Frederick quipped.

"I'll watch things, Miss Pearl." Harper volunteered.

"Thank you, Harper." She replied before we left.

Of course, the first place that we were going was not to check out the property. We had another stop to make. We had to go pay a visit to the Salvatores. There were some things that we needed to discuss with them. Since they didn't have anyone to keep us out, we walked in and my mom took a seat in a chair. Eventually, Damon walked into the room.

"Hello Damon." Mom greeted him.

"Ever hear of knocking?" He quipped.

"An invitation wasn't necessary. I'm surprised that no living person resides here." She said as she got up. "Is it just you and your brother?"

"Yeah, how do you keep out unwanted vampires?" I asked.

"Kill them." Damon replied as he grabbed Mom by the neck. She was lifted his hand off of her and threw him to the ground.

"Have a seat, Damon." She ordered. He sat down on the couch. "I was hoping we could have a word."

"Sure." Damon agreed.

"We've taken up residence just outside of town." Mom explained. "It'll suffice for now."

"All 26 vampires?" Damon asked.

"Some, not all." She corrected. I had no idea where the rest of them were, but I really didn't care.

"How'd they get out of the tomb?" Damon questioned.

"Obviously, the witch messed that part up." I responded.

"I understand from Annabelle that the Founding Families still have a secret council and you're a part of it." She remarked.

"That's ridiculous." He said as he tried to laugh it off.

"I've been in town since the comet, Damon." I stated. "I'm up to speed."

"And so am I and now that you've infiltrated the council, I'm going to need a list of everyone who's on it." She declared.

The longer things went on, the more I couldn't help but be annoyed. Mom tried to bribe Damon with Katherine, which I surely hoped that she wasn't serious about. The only reason that I wanted Katherine back in town was if I got the opportunity to kill her. Damon refused the offer and my mom decided to gouge his eyes out, which I had to say that I enjoyed.

From there, we went to meet with Jenna at the building.

"Miss Somers." Mom greeted her.

"Yes, hi, Pearl." Jenna declared as she shook my mom's hand.

"Hi, this is my daughter Annabelle." Mom introduced.

"Of course, Jeremy's friend." She replied.

"It's good to see you again, Miss Somers." I responded.

"Please, call me Jenna." She declared. "This property was my brother-in-law's family for generations, it was one of the original structures of Mystic Falls. It used to be one of those old-fashioned drug store things that sold magic potions or something."

"An apothecary, you don't say." Mom replied with a smile. At that moment, I got a text from Elena.

"Wanna come over?" It read. I decided to use the opportunity to slip away and headed over to her house.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Do you want to go out tonight?" She questioned. "I know it's short notice and it's cool if you have plans."

"Are you asking me on a date?" I replied.

"Well, kind of, at least being my date." She stammered. "You see my friend Caroline wants me to hang out with her and her boyfriend tonight and she suggested that I bring Stefan, but I don't want to bring Stefan. So I guess I am asking you to be my date."

"I'm not really dressed for a date." I pointed out.

"That's why I'm gonna let you borrow something." She remarked. "Come upstairs with me."

"I'm keeping my scarf." I told her.

A few minutes later, I was in a dress with a one bodice with black rhinestones on it and a black skirt with a purple cardigan.

"You look good." She told me.

"I feel uncomfortable." I told her. I really didn't like wearing clothes like this.

"I know it's not your usual style, but I didn't have anything like that." She remarked. "Now come on. We can't keep them waiting."

"You owe me so much for this." I muttered.

We then headed to the Grill where we met up with Caroline Forbes and her boyfriend Matt, who was also Elena's ex. I could see why she wanted me around.

"I thought you were bringing Stefan." Caroline stated.

"I never said that." Elena pointed out. "Anyway, this is Anna and these are my friends Caroline and Matt."

"Hi." I greeted them.

"Weren't you at the bachelor auction last week?" Caroline asked. She seemed to have a good eye for detail.

"Yes I was." I answered. I didn't know what else to say.

"So how did you two meet?" Matt asked. "I don't think I've ever seen you at school before."

"That's because I'm homeschooled." I declared. "Anyway, I found Elena when she hit a vampire in the middle of the road."

"What?" Caroline replied in confusion.

"I'm kidding." I replied with a smile. "We met here actually."

Before I could say anything, I heard a loud laughter and I saw that Jenna, Damon and Matt's mom were having drinks. It seemed that his eyes were better.

"You've gotta be kidding me." Matt remarked.

So the dinner was okay. The food was good, but it was hard to dine with them in the restaurant. I was surprised that no one had said anything to the manager.

After we ate, we headed to the pool table. They were still drinking. I couldn't believe that they were having so much.

"At least they're having fun." Caroline quipped.

"They're drunk." Elena deadpanned.

"Hey, you guys remember when we got really drunk here after Homecoming?" Matt asked. I had a feeling they would tell me.

"Yes." Caroline replied with a laugh.

"Unfortunately, my parents were seated in the booth next to us and they spotted us, so I came with the idea to sneak away by pretending to be choking, but since he was a doctor, my dad jumped into action. I slipped on the floor as we tried to run and I got stitches, a massive hangover and I was grounded from seeing this one for a week." Elena explained. It sounded like she had a particularly epic fail.

From there, Elena and Caroline went to the bathroom and I was left with the awkwardness of Matt.

"So hey." I replied. I didn't know what else to say to him.

"Are you and Elena dating or something?" He asked. I wasn't sure why that was the first place that he went. Though, considering that we were both dressed up like we were on a date, it probably wasn't that far off of an assumption.

"No. We're friends." I answered. I kind of wondered what it would be like to date her, but I didn't know if she was willing to see me that way. I knew that she was interested, at least subconsciously because she wouldn't have kissed me otherwise, but I didn't know how to make her like me consciously.

At that point, Elena and Caroline came out of the bathroom. Elena looked a little spooked.

"Is everything okay?" Caroline asked.

"Matt is cheating." I explained.

"No need, I'm awesome." Matt declared.

"Are you okay?" I asked Elena.

"I'm fine." She answered before showing me a message saying 'That man called me Katherine.' I looked up, but whoever it was had left.

We decided that since Matt's mom was at the Grill, we would go to his house. Elena and I got there first and we waited outside of the house.

"So had you ever him before?" I asked.

"No." She replied.

"What did he look like?" I followed.

"He had dark hair and a goatee." She answered. That really wasn't useful information. "Do you know him?"

"I don't know based on that description." I admitted. "Did he say anything else?"

"No, but he seemed to believe that I wasn't her." She replied.

"Well maybe I should just take you home." I offered.

"No, I don't want this night to end just because of some guy." She told me. "Let's just go inside. Also, I should be taking you home."

"No, I want to go back to your house and I can get home on my own." I told her. At that point, Matt's truck pulled into the driveway.

His house really wasn't that big, but it looked like an okay house.

"So this is home. I know it's not much." Matt remarked.

"I don't see anything wrong with it." I commented. Everything seemed to be in working order. I then noticed something on the shelf. It was a red model Mustang Shelby. I used to have a car like it. "Wow, this is so cool."

"I did the entire series when I was 9." He explained. "I always wanted to own a car like it. Remember that old Camaro your dad used to own, Elena?"

"No." Elena answered. It seemed like she was lying for some reason. We then heard something crash in the doorway and we saw Damon making out with Matt's mom against the wall. It led to us taking Caroline home. I then went home myself.

Once I got home, I got in a fight with my mom. Apparently Frederick and Bethanne had gone out and only Bethanne came back because they attacked the Salvatores. Frederick must have been the guy that she had seen.

Anyway, I decided to go back to the Gilbert house and checked to see if Elena was okay. She was dressed for bed in a tank top and girls' boxer shorts.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"There was something I forgot to give you." I remarked before I pressed my lips against hers.

So Anna and Elena went on a date or at least a double date. They went back to Matt's house since there was no reason to go to the boarding house. Also Anna kissed Elena. Please don't forget to review.
