Dear Diary

Last night, Damon did something stupid. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised because he does stupid things a lot, but this was really bad. He decided to stab Mason in the back with a silver knife. Not only did it not kill him, it made Mason really angry. He said that Damon made an enemy and we did not need any more enemies. I hope that there is a way to fix this."

I was getting dressed for the upcoming day. It wasn't exactly the day to look sexy considering the work that I was going to be doing. I wore a simple black sleeveless flared top and ripped jeans and sneakers. I gave Anna a hug as she came out of the shower.

"Are you sure that you don't want to come to the park building thing with me?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure." She answered. "I'm really not looking to do the Founding Families any favors."

"You know it's kind of unfair to blame all of them when your mother was only killed by John." I pointed out.

"I'm pretty sure that most of them have the same values as him." She argued. That was probably true.

"Well I'm going to miss you when I'm there." I declared.

"I'm going to miss you too. I kind of wonder why you're even doing this." She admitted.

"Well I'm kind of obligated to be there, especially because my brothers are going to be there. Plus I need to be there to make sure that Damon doesn't do anything else stupid." I explained.

"Can't Stefan do that?" She inquired.

"Damon's stupidity takes multiple people to handle." I replied. "Now I need to go to talk to Elena."

"Why are you doing that?" She asked. I knew that she didn't like it but she couldn't tell me not because I would be forced to listen. We needed to be careful with what she said because of this sire bond. It was pretty inconvenient.

"We need to discuss our strategy." I stated. "If Katherine thinks that we're fighting, she'll think that she is winning and she'll come out again, which will give us a chance to kill her."

"Are you sure that will work?" She responded.

"It's the best idea that we have right now." I pointed out before I made my way to the Gilbert house. I walked behind a door and Elena jumped when she saw me.

"So have you thought about trying to find a new girlfriend at all?" I asked her.

"I don't know anyone who's interested." Elena responds. "So what are we going to do today?"

"Well I think that a good strategy is to avoid speaking to each other altogether." I declared. "Not talking means that we're not friends anymore and is definitely worse than fighting."

"Well I do want us to remain friends." She stated.

"None of this is going to turn real. I promise." I assured her. "So I guess I'll see you there."

I then headed to the park to meet my brothers. It was too bad that there was no way I could get Anna to reconsider coming because I missed her. I wondered if it was a sire bond thing. She had told me that she didn't actually know about it or why it happened. It was nice to know that she wasn't purposefully manipulating me or my feelings. She wasn't Katherine.

"This is all part of the Historical Society's continuing efforts to give back to the community." Mayor Lockwood announced. I still was surprised that being the mayor's wife qualified her to be mayor, but she seemed she was doing okay. "Thanks to a generous donation from the Fell family, we are now standing on the site of our newest public park. Thank you to everyone who has shown up today to lend a helping hand."

When I got there, one of the first things that I noticed was Mason getting some things out of his Ford Bronco. It was a pretty ugly vehicle. I went over to talk to him.

"Mikaela, right? The other Salvatore." He declared.

"The smart one." I added. "I'm the one who is trying to broker peace."

"I'm not interested." He answered.

"My brother acted impulsively." I remarked. "Plus he's a bit of a bigot when it comes to other supernatural species. If you keep fighting, someone innocent will be dead and neither of us wants that. How about we quit the rivalry and have a truce?"

"You know I offered your brother that same deal and he turned me down with a knife." Mason explained.

"Well that's why I'm the smart one." I replied. "All I'm saying is that if two of you keep at this, someone innocent is going to get hurt."

"Tell your brother to watch his back." Mason declared as he tried to leave. I grabbed him.

"You're the one who should watch his back." I argued. "It's not a full moon and that makes you weaker than him. There are three of us and one of you."

"If he comes at me…" Mason started.

"He won't." I promised. I held out my hand and Mason took it before he walked away. I still did not think that I trusted him. Damon then appeared behind me.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"I'm trying to fix your mistake." I answered.

"I don't want it fixed." Damon whined.

"Then consider it Opposite Day." I quipped.

"Kaela, don't tell me that you're dumb enough to think that he would stick to your truce." He stated as Stefan appeared.

"Of course I know that the first chance he gets, he's going to try to kill you and probably Stefan and I as well, so thanks for that you dick." I replied.

So since I wasn't going to be talking to Elena and she was with Caroline, it basically left me one person that I could talk. I headed over to Maria who was serving some drinks.

"So where's the rest of your family?" I asked.

"They're working." She told me.

"All of them?" I replied.

"Yup." She confirmed. "So it feels like we haven't talked in a while."

"I'm sorry. I've just been busy about all that's been going on." I remarked. "So what did you want to talk about?"

"Well how are things going between you and Anna?" She replied.

"They're good." I explained. "I found out that I have a sire bond with her."

"What does that mean?" She inquired.

"It means that I have to do whatever she tells me whether I want to or not because she's the one who turned me." I told her.

"That sounds like it's a bad thing." She commented.

"It's not as bad as you think. She just has to watch what she says." I replied. "So what's going on with you?"

"I actually made a new friend." She answered. "I invited her here. She should be here somewhere."

"You didn't tell me that there would be so much work." A girl with red hair and Hispanic features declared as she walked over. She was wearing a black tank and sweatpants, sneakers and a beret.

"Mikaela, this is Meredith Sulez." Maria introduced. "And this is my friend, Mikaela Salvatore."

"It's nice to meet you." I declared as I shook her hand.

At that point, I noticed that Sheriff Forbes was talking to Mason about something. In fact, he seemed to be talking to her about us. She didn't seem to believe the fact we were vampires, but it definitely told me that Mason couldn't be trusted. She then came over to us at the drink station.

"Good afternoon, Sheriff Forbes." I greeted her with a smile. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I need you to mix this into the lemonade." She declared as she handed me a vial of vervain.

"Okay." I declared as I poured it in. I would need to remind my brothers not to drink it.

"Would you like some?" She asked.

"I'm really not that thirsty." I answered. "You know I think there's more work that I can do than just this." I remarked. "I'm going to find something to do."

With that, I grabbed Maria's hand and dragged her away.

"Why are you acting so weird?" She questioned. I was thankful that Meredith hadn't followed us.

"I heard Mason telling her that we were vampires and I'm not sure if she believes it or not, but it seems like she was at least considering it." I remarked. "I think we need to be cautious about it."

"Do you think that she's going to do anything?" Maria asked.

"I don't think that she'll do anything unless she can prove it." I replied. "For now all that she can prove is that I don't seem to like citrusy drinks."

"We should probably talk to Caroline about this." She suggested. That was something that would not work for me.

"I can't." I explained. "You see Katherine's around and she doesn't want me talking to Elena and the two of them are together and I'm pretty sure that Caroline is being blackmailed by Katherine to spying on us. Katherine's biggest strength is we don't know where she is or what the fuck she's doing."

"Do you know why she's here?" She asked.

"The only thing that I got out of her was that she wanted to see me." I declared. "But that doesn't make sense because she had so many years to find me and she never seemed concerned about it."

"Well I want to tell them about this." She remarked.

"I'd like it if you stayed with right now." I declared as I grabbed her arm. "I know it seems like I'm being clingy, but I have Mason who wants to kill me as well Sheriff Forbes and I don't want to be alone because it makes them less likely to try anything."

"I can't believe that you want me to be your bodyguard." She muttered.

"You're not a bodyguard. You're just a good friend." I countered.

I wasn't sure what Sheriff Forbes would do if she found out that we were vampires. I knew that she and Damon seemed to be good friends. Why they were friends, I wasn't sure. She would probably feel betrayed if she found out that Damon had been lying to her. She might try to kill him. It was too bad that we couldn't show her that being a vampire doesn't make someone evil. Yes, Damon could be pretty evil sometimes, but he also had some good in him. Being evil was a choice, being a vampire wasn't always one. It was kind of a bad situation to be in at the moment.

At that point, I noticed that Damon had a glass of lemonade in his hand. Before I could say anything, he drank it and promptly spit it out. That seemed to be the proof that Sheriff Forbes needed. I decided to go talk to them.

Damon then drank some water, trying to get the taste out of his mouth.

"I'm going to kill him." Damon declared.

"No, you're not." I replied as I held my brother back.

"I don't want any more of your 'Give Peace a Chance' crap. Look where it got John Lennon." He responded. I sighed because he might be right.

"Damon's right. He's making threats and trying to expose us. We need to put him down." Stefan declared. "I know he's in the woods right now picking up some trash."

"Then that's where we'll kill him." Damon remarked.

"You two do it." I replied. "I don't want to be involved in this and I can come if you need me."

I then went to find Maria and found that she was with Caroline.

"Where did Elena go?" I asked.

"She was getting to know the new girl." Caroline replied as I noticed that Elena and Meredith were talking. "What is my mom doing?"

She went over to talk to her and her mom seemed to be in a rush and that was when I realized it. My brothers were walking into a trap. I needed to get to them before it was too late.

"Mikaela, where are you going?" Caroline asked.

"We need to help my brothers. They're in trouble." I explained as we went through the woods.

"I've been here before." Caroline remarked. I noticed a leaf with some blood on it.

"What are you girls doing out here?" Mason asked. I needed to remain calm. I couldn't waste my time fighting him.

"Have you seen Stefan?" Maria questioned.

"Yeah, I've seen him." Mason answered sinisterly. "I've seen Damon too."

"Where are they?" Maria replied.

"You don't need me for that. You could have your friends sniff them out." He declared. He then looked at Caroline. "Does your mother know what you are? I could tell her."

It looked like we were going to have to fight him to get to them. He then grabbed Maria by the neck.

"Careful, necks snap easily around here." He told me. I scoffed. He was such an amateur. I rushed over and pushed him away from her before grabbing him and throwing him into a tree. I would have loved to kill him then and there but I had some brothers to save. "Come on, they're this way."

We found outside a small cellar in the woods. There were voices coming from below.

"What's going on?" Maria asked.

"It's my mom. She's killing them." Caroline answered. Maria tried to go down before Caroline grabbed her. "Maria, she's going to find out about me."

Maria broke free and ran down there and I noticed the conflicted look on Caroline's face.

"Caroline, I'm willing to kill whoever I have to save them." I declared. "That includes your mom. If you don't want me to, you'll come with me."

The two of us then headed down the stairs. There were two deputies. Caroline and I each grabbed one and bit into their necks and began to drink their blood until they were dead. The Sheriff then raised her gun, but she dropped it when she saw who one of the vampires was.

"Hi Mom." Caroline declared. Well that was one of hell of a way for her to find out about her.

A few minutes later, we had all of the bullets out of Stefan and Damon, the latter who was drinking from the dead deputies.

"That hits the spot." He said before looking at Stefan. "You need some deputy blood."

"I'm good." Stefan replied.

"No, he's right. If there was ever a time to break your diet…" Caroline remarked.

"He said he didn't want any." I told her. We then looked around the cellar.

"Now what do we have here?" Damon asked before he looked at Sheriff Forbes. "Two deputies dead and you what are we going to do with you?"

"Mom, you're not going to tell anyone. He will kill you. Mom?" Caroline questioned.

"Then kill me!" She declared.

"No!" Caroline argued.

"Just kill me now." The sheriff ordered.

"But you were going to drag it out so painfully." Damon whispered.

"Damon, don't." Stefan told him.

"Relax no one's killing anyone." Damon declared. He then whispered to her. "You're my friend. Now we gotta clean this up."

We ended up taking Sheriff Forbes back to the house with us. We had a plan to deal with her that didn't involve killing her. It would take some time to enact.

"How did everything go?" Anna asked. "Why do you have blood on your face?"

"It didn't go well." I answered. "Mason decided to expose us to the Sheriff Forbes and captured Stefan and Damon. Caroline and I had to save them. We killed the two deputies that were with her."

"What did you do with her?" She questioned.

"We're going to keep her locked up in the dungeon for a few days until the vervain is out of her system and we can compel her to forget this whole ordeal. It might be better just to let her think it was a nightmare."

"I told you that it was a good idea not to go there." She remarked.

"Anna, please, I don't have time for this. I have to figure out to kill Mason. What he did was crossing the line and I won't let him stand for hurting my brothers. My family is more important to me than anything."

"Even me?" She asked with a frown.

"I'd like to think at one point the two of us could be family." I explained. "I do love you more than anything and I don't think that's just the sire bond talking."

Dear Diary

It's time to make Mason pay. He has actually moved above Katherine on my list of people to kill. Katherine may be bad, but she hasn't actually done anything since coming here other turn Caroline into a vampire and attack John, which I'm actually okay with. Caroline seems to be adapting to being a vampire, so that's not that big of a deal either. I may not know how to kill a werewolf, but I am going to figure it out. I can guarantee that the next time that I see him is going to be the last.

I then put my diary up and went to bed.

So it looks like Elena might possibly have found a new love interest. Meredith is played by Demi Lovato. Also Mikaela wants Mason's blood. Please don't forget to review.
