Chapter 7

"I like your place." Elena tells me. It was nice, she was right. The apartment was in the town square across, at had a bedroom, 1.5 bath, a kitchen, a living room attached to and another room that I turn into my secret training room.

"Thank you but how are you?" I ask her offering her coffee as we sat in the table for 2 to 4 people that it was in my kitchen.

"Just still processing I think. How do you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Pretend that nothing has change that your entire life has been some short of lie?"

"When I found out that my dad wasn't my real dad, it was too late, he was already gone."I tell her felling the sadness in my voice as I spoke.

"You don't need to tell me about it."

"It is ok Elena. I was a kid when I went to the hospital and I needed a blood transfusion and his blood wasn't compatible. By the time I didn't know what it meant but my dad acted like everything was ok, that my mother hadn't lied to him, that everything was fine… When…" I say and then take a deep breath talking to her almost as I saw the memories in front of me. "When he was in his death-bed my mother finally told me when we were in a middle of a fight. God I hated her that moment, so damn much. I was young but I remember that very well." Part of my super brain or something.

"Is that why your relationship with her was so bad?"

"No, but it helped. But know this, they treat you like a daughter, you are a sister to Jeremy and to me also. A different bloodline won't change that." I tell her and she smiles.

"You're really good at this."

"At what?"

"Behind the older sister." She tells me with a little smile. "I should probably go home. Thank you for letting me stayed the night."

"You're welcomed and I am happy you and Stefan work things out." I say and she smiles at me leaving the apartment.

"I cannot believe I agree with this, I look ridiculous." I say looking at the mirror as Elena was downstairs. I had a tulle skirt with flowers and a black long sleeves top with a pearl necklace. My hair was tight in the back with a bow and I had my gloves on. "Come on Sofia it will be fun you can dance and dress up. It is the decade dance." I say imitating Elena was I hear voices coming from downstairs and I got to the living room where a scared Elena had in the arms of Stefan and there was a destroyed chair. "What happened here?"

Stefan, Elena and I are sitting in the couch with Lena in the middle as Damon paces around the living room while we talked about this intruder.

"How did he get in?" Damon asks still pacing around.

"He was invited in." I respond to his stupid ass question.

"He posed as a pizza delivery guy last night." Stefan concludes my sentence.

"Well, he gets points for that. Did he say what he wanted?"

"No. He was too busy trying to kill me."

"And you have no idea who this is?" I ask him

"No. Don't look at me like that. I told you we had company."

"You think there's more than one?" I ask him as he sits next to me on the arm of the couch but I could feel his fingers on my shoulder the same shoulder were he found the bullet mark.

"We don't know." He tells me honestly

"Damon, he was invited in."

"Then we go get him tonight. You girls are up for it?"

"What do I have to do?" We said at the same time.

"Let your boyfriend take you to the dance. We'll see who shows up." He tells me sister but he doesn't say nothing about me because Stefan speaks right away.

"That's a bad idea."

"Till we get him, this house isn't safe. For anyone who lives in it."

"It's worth a shot." I tell Stefan and Elena.

"I'll do it. I'll be with the two of you. I'll be safe." I give her a dirty look and she adds. "The three of you." She says and I smile showing her I liked it more that way.

"Great now. What do you I have to do and whose ass can I kick?" I see Damon smirking at me and I decide to add looking seriously. "I am not joking."

"Well Brigitte Bardot we are going as chaperones." He tells me with a smirk and I realize what the 'we' meant.

"No."

"He's got a point, that way you will be protected. And who is Bridge Bar something."

"Brigitte Bardot." I tell her but by the look she's still confused. "You don't know who she is?"

"No."

"You're joking Lena. She was one of the biggest sex symbols and actresses in the 50's."

"Oh, ok."

"I don't look like her." I say turning to Damon.

"Sure you do. Come on sex symbol." He says and I roll my eyes.

"I still don't see any similarities besides the fact we both have French roots."

"You're from France?" Stefan asks us as the 4 of us enter the room.

"No, my mother was."

"See just one more things you have in common."

"Can we please drop it?" Elena asks.

"Please you never saw Singing in The Rain, you don't get a said in this." Elena just looks at me like I am crazy and leaves to find her friends. "So what now?"

"Now we wait." Damon tells me putting his arm around me.

"Do you want to still have an arm tomorrow?" I ask him nicely but still with a treating look.

"And she still things she doesn't look like her."

"Damon. I am a brunette with green eyes. She was a blonde with hazel eyes."

"You still have big, large eyes."

"I am taking that as a complement."

"It was a complement."

"Can you two stop flirting or wherever you are going we have a man to look after?" Stefan speaks to us and I gave him a dirty look.

"We were not flirting." I say in my defense but Damon just smirks still with his arm around me. "The arm?"

"What arm?"

"Yeah, I don't recognize you. How'd you get roped into chaperoning? Alaric Saltzman. I'm the new history teacher." The man tells me and Damon. He sure was fine. Wait Alaric… I knew that name from some place.

"Ah, the, uh, cursed faculty position."

"So I've been told."

"Sofia McCullough." I tell him and he nods.

"I hear. Actually we live in the same building."

"Really?" I say with a smile but before I could say anything Damon spoke.

"Damon. Salvatore."

"Salvatore, as in, uh, Stefan?"

"He's my little brother. I'm his legal guardian, hence the chaperoning."

"I hear he's very bright, not that I've had a chance to see for myself."

"Well, his attendance record's a little spotty. Family drama."

"No parents?"

"Mm, it's just the two of us now."

"You, uh—you live here your whole life?"

"On and off. Travel a bit."

"Really? Where? Around the states? Heh. I'm sorry. I'm nosy. I-I don't mean to pry. Look, it was nice meeting you."

"You too." I say with a smile.

"Enjoy the rest of the dance."

"He seems nice." I say and Damon looks at me.

"Yeah sure."

"He's hot." I say and Damon looks at me like I am crazy. "What? He is."

"Seriously. I am much hotter than him."

"Whatever makes you sleep at night."

Then Great Balls Of Fire started playing and I started doing a little dance. God I loved that song.

"Come on let's dance Bardot." He tells me as we both went to the dance floor and started to dance.

"I love this song."

"You actually know this song?"

"Just because I wasn't born when it came it doesn't mean I don't know it besides I seen Top Gun like 20 times."

"Top Gun, really?"

"You're joking. I wanted to be a pilot because of the movie."

"Sofia McCullough, the pilot." He tells me and I smile nodding as we dance to the rhythm of the song.

I looked around trying to find Elena but I fail so I went around the looking for her when I hear her scream and I found her with the vampire so I tried to find the shaper thing and hit in with two pencils, what is was all I could find but Stefan and Damon appear in time.

"Hey, dickhead. Nobody wants to kill you. We just wanna talk."

He tries to attack me but Stefan gets him in time and stakes him the stomach.

"Now you feel like talking?"

"Screw you." At this Stefan digs the stake in deeper and the vampire groans in pain.

"Wrong answer. Why are you doing this?" I ask him proud of my strong voice.

"Because it's fun." At this Stefan digs a bit more.

"What do you want with Elena?"

"She looks like Katherine." That makes us all look at each other shocked.

"You knew Katherine?" Now it's Damon who does the question as Elena was too dazed about all this.

"Oh. You thought you were the only ones. You don't even remember me."

"Tell me how to get in the tomb."

"No." At this Stefan drives the stake more into him and with my mind I try to make it look even more painfully. Wish works meaning when vampire's are weak I can get into they heads, not read their minds but I could get into them. Maybe with time.

"The grimoire." I smirk at Stefan and Damon.

"Where is it?" Stefan drives the stake deeper again and I make the pain bigger as I touched his shoulder.

"Check the journal. The journal. Jonathan's journal. Jonathan Gilbert's."

"Who else is working with you?" I ask him and he looks at me but we hear noise.

"Who else is there?" I ask him getting a pencil and driving into his neck as he groans in pain and Damon, Stefan and Elena looked at me surprised.

"No. You're gonna have to kill me." Damon and I roll my eyes and Stefan stakes in him the heart and I hear Elena gasps as I stare at the desiccated body

"What do we—how are you gonna find the others now?"

"He had to die." Damon and I say at the same time making us stare at each other.

"But..."

"Elena, he's been invited in." Stefan tells her and she nods and we wear noise again.

"Someone is out there." I tell them.

"Go. I got this." Stefan tells Damon who leaves as Stefan wraps is arm around her as she looked terrified.

Elena sits on the couch as I just stay up getting the shoes out of my feet.

"The boots." I say and Elena looks at me. "Why didn't I hit him with my shoes?"

"With your shooting the guy would die." Stefan tells me from the kitchen and even if he was joking I also knew there was some honesty in his voice. "Doing ok?" He says coming in. He was a sweet boyfriend, always caring about Elena sake.

"Is it weird if I say yes?"

"No."

"Is it true?" I and Stefan speak at the same time and we smile at each other at this.

"I should feel more upset or scared or something, but I... feel kind of exhilarated."

"It's the adrenaline. You'll crash soon enough." I tell her and she nods as I saw a smile in her face

"Yeah, I guess. I fought back tonight. It felt good."

"Of course it did, it makes you feel more capable." I say with a proud smile.

"I wish you didn't have to fight at all."

"Still..." I say as Stefan sits next to Elena and gives her the mug of tea

"I need to tell you something, and I don't know how you're gonna feel about it."

"What?" Elena asks concern.

"I told Damon that I'd help him get into that tomb to get Katherine back. But it was a lie. I let him believe that he could trust me."

"Well, then why would you be worried about telling me?" I ask him and Elena nods.

"Because he can be very persuasive." He tells Elena and then turns to me "And you two have bonded lately."

"That doesn't mean I trust him. It's gonna take a lot more than just a road trip and a rescue for me to forget who Damon is and everything he's done." I tell him.

"I don't wanna be his enemy, but I can't let him do it."

"Then don't, and I'll help you, whatever it takes. Ok?" Stefan looks at me and I nod.

"Ok. Come here." He wraps his arms around Elena and pulls her in.

"Time for me to go." I tell them and wink as I leave the house.
