Disclaimer: I don't own twilight or the Vampire Diaries! I wish I did though:(
I wonder why, why, I wonder why, why I outta,
Let you wreck, resurrect whatever you want to.
I can't depend in the end you know
I thought you were my friend.
Just stop, just stop, just stop I think I got it.
Sorry you, sorry me, sorry every in between,
Sorry everybody here will never be somebody clean.
There's a piece of me they're throwing back at us,
And they will buy you and sell you for celebrity status

Elena.
Elena.
"ELENA!"
My head jerked up from where it was resting against the window of the car. I quickly turned to face Caroline in the driver's seat, who was looking at me expectantly.
"What? Oh sorry, Care, I'm just a bit out of it today." I told her, smiling sheepishly. That's a huge understatement. I can't focus for a second before thinking of either Damon or the Cullen's. Or Stefan. I added mentally, cursing softly to myself.
Caroline looked at me strangely before repeating what she had said while I had been zoned out.
"Well, the Lockwood's are throwing another Masquerade party tonight, so that means we've got to get you a hot dress." Caroline said, waggling her blonde eyebrows at me.
I giggled at her expression.
"What about you? Did you get a dress yet?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at her.
"Silly Elena, of course of have a dress! And may I say I look pretty damn fine in it—"
Don't want love just give me your bling bling,
Listen to me boy cause I need your thing thing,
Hey there boy, not tryna be funny,
Ima big girl and I need the money.
Kaboom!
Let me see your body work (work)
The sound of Lady Gaga's Kaboom filled the car, successfully cutting off Caroline. I quickly sent her an apologetic look before pressing the accept button on my cell and holding it up to my ear.
"Hello?"
"Hello Elena."
"Ugh, Damon, what do you want?" I asked annoyed.
"Well, I just got Intel that Klaus, Stefan, or one of his little wanna be hybrids may be at the Masquerade tonight. Klaus think you're dead so we need you to impersonate Katherine for tonight."
"Damon, I'm human, If Klaus is there he'll be able to tell that I'm not a vampire like Katherine is. It'll never work."
"Hmmhmm, Don't you think I know that E-lay-na." He replied, drawing out my name. "That's were Judgy comes in. She'll do her witchy woo woo stuff to basically turn you into a vampire for the night. Totally fool proof. Klaus will never know you're alive."
"Fine, I'll do it. Ok, I gotta go, Caroline's bringing me to the Mall to get a dress. Don't worry, I'll make sure its Katherine worthy." Damon laughed softly at that and I smiled as the velvety sound hit my ears.
"I'll see you later, bye bye now."
The line went dead and I looked over at Caroline who was pulling into the parking lot of the Mystic Falls Mall.
"Did you hear all of that?"
"Yup," Caroline said, her blonde curls bouncing as she nodded her head. "We have to make you look like Katherine." She said, saying Katherine's name with what could only be identified as disgust.
"Yeah, so basically we have to make me look like a slut. Great." I said sarcastically.
"Oh come on Elena, it's not that bad. Besides, you'll look totally hot. Guys won't be able to keep their hands off you" Caroline whined, getting out of the car.
"Care, even though Stefan's not here, I'm still dating him." replied, pulling myself out of the car and slamming the door shut. Caroline pouted and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Whatever. Now hurry up and get your ass up, we need to find you a dress before all the good ones are gone."
I rolled my eyes and smiled to myself. Linking my arm with Caroline's, we set off to the entrance.
Edward P.O.V (AN: Surprise!)
Today was the one year anniversary of the day I had broken up with my sweet Bella. I missed her every day. As did everyone else, even Rosalie. Alice barely ever shops, Emmett never cracks jokes, and Esme hadn't done any gardening in months.
Our lives where miserable so we decided a change of scenery would be good for us. We had just moved to a small town in Virginia called Mystic Falls after Carlisle had gotten a job offer.
Alice had currently dragged Me, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie the mall to get outfits for a masquerade party tonight that the mayor invited us too.
We were now walking towards the exit, the girls carrying multiple bags of designer clothes and shoes. Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper headed out to the car while I waited for Alice as she made sure she got everything. We were just passing the food court when I smelled it.
Strawberries ad Freesias. Bella's scent. I froze and looked towards the origin of smell.
My gaze landed on a table with a blonde haired girl and a dark brown haired girl who was facing the opposite way of me.
"Edward? What are you looking at….?" Alice trailed off as she sniffed the air and turned her gaze towards the brown haired girl I was looking at.
"Is that..?" Alice said softly, staring at the brunette with wide eyes.
I ignored her and listened closely to hear the two girl's conversation.
"Okay," The blonde girl was saying. " We have everything we need for the Lockwood's party tonight. And I have to go there early, I promised Mrs. Lockwood I would help her and Tyler set up. I'll drop you off at the boarding house or….?" She said, leaving the question hanging.
"Yes, drop me off at the boarding house." The girl's voice sounded like Bella's, but was just a little higher in pitch. "Jeremy's going to be at Bonnie's so…yeah. Both of my best friends are ditching me." I saw Alice sadden as Bella smiled at the blonde.
"Aww, Ellie, you know I want to help but-" Bella quickly cut the girl off, giggling.
"I was just kidding, Care, besides we all you like Tyler. You need to get over Matt anyways. Oh Shit! We've gotta go if we want to have enough time to get ready. Let's go."
The brunette then turned around to grab her bags, tucking her curtain of dark hair behind her ear so her face was visible. I froze, she looked so different.
"Oh my god." Alice gasped softly. "She's gorgeous." And Alice was right. Her beauty easily surpassed the looks of a vampire. We both stared at her as she and the blonde girl left.
"She's going the masquerade tonight!" I exclaimed. "We can talk to her there."
"Yes," said Alice. "But why did that girl call her Ellie?"
I shrugged. "I don't know, but it's probably just a nickname for Bella. You know, Bella, Ella, Ellie."
"Well, we better tell the others. Let's go." Alice said turning around and starting to walk away. I quickly followed after her, my mind on Bella.
Elena P.O.V
Two hours and thirteen stores later, I had finally found a dress for the. It was short, tight, strapless, black cocktail dress.
I had also gotten some black lingerie, a black mask, and a pair of strappy 7 inch black heels. Caroline said that wearing all black would help with the whole Katherine look.
We had just left the food court, where we had a quick bite to eat. I just couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was watching me.
I looked around, not seeing anything suspicious and mentally shrugged. I was so out of it today and my mind was probably just playing tricks on me.
Back at the boarding house I had just finished curling my hair into dark ringlets when I felt someone's presence behind me. I whirled around, pushing the curls out of my face, and collided with someone's chest.
The person's strong arms gently gripped my waist while I tried to regain my balance in my heels. As soon as I was stable, I looked up, my dark brown eyes met icy blue ones.
"Well don't you look hot." Damon said wiggling his eyebrows before placing a friendly kiss on my forehead. "Though you do look a little too much like the bitch for my liking." He continued, frowning slightly.
I groaned. " I know, and I hate it." I complained, slapping his arm, my bright red lips beginning to form a pout.
"Ouch." He fake whined, removing a hand from my waist to clutch at his upper arm. I rolled my eyes at him, pulling myself out of his grip to go put my mask on. After I tied it successfully, I turned back to him, raising an eyebrow.
"So how exactly are we doing this?" I questioned taking a step closer to him.
" Well, Judgy should be here right about now." The slammed open and Bonnie stepped inside, clutching Emily's Grimoire tightly to her chest.
She was wearing a knee length, purple, flowy dress with a black and purple mask and heels.
"Wow, you look great Bonnie!" I exclaimed, stepping away from Damon to engulf Bonnie in a hug.
"Thanks, Elena! You look great… and exactly like Katherine that it's creepy. Not that it wasn't creepy before." She said, stepping back and opening up the grimoire.
"So," Damon started, lying down on the bed with his ankles crossed and his hands on his chest. "It's simple, really, Bonnie will do a spell that will turn you into Vampire of Katherine's strength for the night." He said, raising his eyebrows.
"Okay, so this spell will basically make you a vampire for the night, blood drinking and all. But it might hurt just a bit so I would get comfortable." She gestured towards Damon's bed, sending me an apologetic look.
"Wait, Judgy, you never said it was going to hurt her!" Damon said, rising up into a sitting position, glaring at Bonnie.
"Damon, it's either this, or Klaus finds out she's alive and she's dies. And I doubt that you want that to happen.
"Fine." Damon growled as I threw myself on the bed. Bonnie began to chant and I squeezed my eyes shut, reaching out and grabbing Damon's hand.
An unimaginable stroke of pain burst through my head and I clutched at it, unable to hold back a scream. The pain was unbearable. Not three seconds after the scream left my lips, I felt myself being pulled against a chest.
Damon. My subconscious whispered as I buried my face in his chest, whimpering as a new pain started to form in my mouth.
I knew that this was the fangs trying to push through my gums. I cried out as I felt them push through, clutching my mouth, vaguely hearing Damon whispering words of reassurance in my ear. He held me, gently stroking my hair until the pain stopped.
Bonnie then approached me, silently handing me a blood bag that I downed in one gulp, licking my lips.
"We better get going," She told me softly, "Or we are going to be late. We better go."
Damon, surprisingly, didn't say anything, instead he gently helped me up, wrapping his arm around my waist as the three of us got into his car and pulled out of the car heading towards the Lockwood's.
