Let The Games Begin

Elena's POV

I never heard Kiara sing before, she was amazing! She helped Caroline, Damon and I with backup and she also played the piano beautifully. She is very talented for an over 160 year old vampire. She said to me that she had taught herself with the piano and guitar through the years and Damon had been practicing with the both of them and the violin. They both are very talented it makes me blush all the time. I've never heard Stefan play any instruments since he has a guitar in his room but I've never heard him playing it, only Damon and Kiara.

Since Stefan is kind of out of the picture and he's with Klaus on a killing spree, I've been having a little trouble of coping with his absence but since I have Jeremy, Ric, Bonnie, Tyler, Caroline, Matt, Damon and Kiara, everything feels good.

Then there's Katherine, my evil doppelganger, well sort of. She's been helping out of finding Mikael and he can kill Klaus but the thing is, is that he hunts other vampires to feed on. So does that make him very powerful than Klaus? Hopefully.

I was sitting on my window seat writing in my diary about the crazy things that's been going on with my life.

Dear Diary,

Stefan's gone. I've started dating Damon ever since last night at the Grill singing our hearts out to one another with our feelings getting out with the songs. He makes me even happier and he really gets Stefan out of my mind. I don't think that I can trust Stefan anymore. I'm still angry that he abandoned me, Damon and our friends and family behind. I don't know what to do. I wish Damon was here to comfort me like he always does since he's always there for me.

I'll write again soon.

Elena.

I heard a knock on my window and I nearly fell off the seat when I saw Damon there smiling at me. I think he was about to laugh. I opened the window to let him in and stood there with my arms crossed over my chest and glared at him.

"Hey 'Lena. Sorry for scaring you, I didn't mean too." Damon said as he gave me an apologetic face.

I smiled and went towards him and placed my arms around his neck, "It's okay. As long as you don't do that to me again."

Damon smiled and lent down and pressed his lips softly against mine, "Sorry kitten. What do you want to do today?"

I looked up to the ceiling to think about what we could do and the thought came to me, "Well we could go to the Grill with the gang and have drinks and play some pool. What do think about that idea?"

Damon smirked and kissed me again, "Sounds like a plan to me. What gang?"

I glared at him and shook my head, "You know what gang Damon. With Jeremy, Ric, Caroline, Bonnie, Tyler, Matt and Kiara. Duh!"

"Oh okay. I got you now. Yeah why not? Do you want to call them and they can meet us there? I'll call Ric and Kiara, apparently they are researching some of Isobel's research and looking through the Gilbert journals but I think they could use a break."

I nodded and went to Jeremy's room. I knocked and went inside, "Jer, are you busy today?"

Jeremy looked up and smiled, "No, not at all. Why? What's up?"

"Do you want to come with us to the Grill and we can have drinks and have a few games of pool with Bonnie, Ric, Damon, Tyler, Matt, Kiara, Caroline, me and Damon?"

"Yeah sure, that sounds like fun!"

"Okay, well we'll be leaving in a few minutes so get ready." I said as I went out of the room and returned to my bedroom. I got my phone out and text everyone if they wanted to meet me, Jeremy and Damon at the Grill in a few minutes.

To: Caroline, Bonnie, Tyler, Matt

From: Elena

Hey guys. Just wondering if you want to hang out at the Grill for a few drinks and a few games of pool with me, Damon and Jer, if you're up for it? Xxx

I waited for a few minutes and got four replies back. I opened them and they said,

To: Elena

From: Caroline, Bonnie, Matt, Tyler

Yeah that would be fun! We'll meet you there in ten minutes! Xxx

I smiled and replied back.

Okay, see you in ten. Xxx

Damon came in and smiled at me, "I called Kiara and Ric. They said that they'll meet us there in 15 minutes. Did you get everyone else?"

I nodded and smiled back, "Yeah they said that they'll meet us there in 10. We better head and meet them there." Damon nodded and took my hand in his, "Jer, come on! We're leaving now!" I yelled for my little brother and saw him exit his room.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" He came downstairs and the three of us left and got into Damon's car.

The ride was only 5 minutes and we headed into the Grill by the pool tables. Damon went to get the drinks and Jer and I played a game of pool.

5 minutes later, Caroline, Matt, Tyler, Bonnie, Ric and Kiara came in. I waved at them and they came up and sat next to us, "Hey! Glad you made it. We're about to have a competition. It's girls vs. boys, are you guys in?"

They all nodded and Kiara said, "Bring it on boys! Show us what you got! Although, I must warn you I am excellent at pool. We can easily kick your asses."

Tyler snickered, "Bring it on Salvatore!"

Kiara laughed and replied, "Bring it on Lockwood!"

We all burst into laughter. Caroline whined and everyone had eyed her, "What is it Caroline?" I asked and she turned to me then back at the boys.

"We're one short. We're outnumbered!"

The boys laughed and we groaned until we heard a female voice behind us, "I can help you with that!" We all turned with our eyes wide in shock and confusion.

"Katherine? What are you doing here? You're not suppose to be here!" I said as I looked at my doppelganger.

Katherine smiled and said, "Listen if anyone asks, let's just say that I'm your long lost twin since birth. Okay, sound good?" I nodded and the rest of the gang growled and moaned in frustration. Katherine smirked, "Oh guys! Calm down, I'm not gonna cause a scene or anything! So, do you need another player or not?" She looked at me and the rest of the girls and we had to nod in agreement, didn't we?

"Okay who is gonna go against each other first?" said Bonnie. Kiara and Tyler raised their hands and we all giggled.

Tyler sorted the triangle of the balls and Kiara had used the chalk to smooth the cue point, "You wanna break or shall I, Lockwood?" said Kiara as she twirled the cue in circles like a martial arts expert.

"Well, ladies obviously go first so I'm gonna let you break." Tyler suggested using both of his hands towards Kiara and she nodded.

"Let the games begin!" I said and everyone laughed.
