Caroline had stopped talking to Audrey and when Elena and Bonnie questioned why, she just drew back into her nice and cozy shell. She was everything she didn't want to be. Though it seemed Caroline had magically forgotten that Damon kissed Audrey and not the other way around. She had forgiven him, but not Audrey.

She had been checking up on the internet; bite marks, amazing strength, mind control. One word came up in every search result.

Vampire.

Those things were not true, Audrey knew that. Her father had sometimes told her bedtime stories about them but she never believed in them, truly. Still every time she even saw a glimpse of Damon, she remembered how she suddenly kissed him. It was like she had no control over her body.

Jenna was worried about her. She went to school and came home. Jenna said she needed friends. Audrey responded that she has enough friends, she doesn't need more. Jenna reminded her that relatives don't count as friends. Audrey had gone to her room and stole some of Jeremy's weed. She had smoked it.

Jeremy was worried about her too, I mean Jeremy. The punk kid who smoked weed everyday was worried about her sister. Jeremy had improved and Audrey didn't even know why. She was completely fine. Everything was brilliant.

She had started having these dreams. She was there with Elena, Stefan and Damon. The dreams usual pattern was that first they talked, then someone who looked exactly like Elena walked next to Audrey and whispered to her.

Aren't you a little wonder. She always said.

Audrey was downstairs eating her breakfast when Jenna decided to have a nice aunt Jenna time.

"Audrey I know Elena has a new boyfriend, but you two hang out when she had Matt, but no now. Why?" Jenna questioned with her strawberry blonde hair up on a ponytail.

"This time it's different," Audrey swallowed and avoided her aunt's eye contact. Audrey's hair was curly and big and she had a light makeup. She had a dark purple blouse on with dark jeans. She drank her glass off coffee and rose from the table.

"What do you mean?" Jenna asked and followed Audrey as she walk to the sink.

"I don't like Stefan," Audrey said and smiled emotionless to her aunt.

"Why? He is a nice guy, though I don't approve him staying here the night!" Jenna shouted the last sentence. Elena walked to the kitchen and avoided Audrey's eyes but so did Audrey hers.

"Are you going to Stefan's tonight?" Elena asked from Audrey causing a shocked look on Jenna's face. Jenna came closer to Audrey and whispered What without Elena noticing.

"I got paired up with him in the history class, by the new teacher," Audrey cleared and Jenna just made the 'oh' face. Audrey took her bag from her side and started to walk towards the door.

"Elena, I'll take the car today, okay?" she yelled to the kitchen.

"Yeah!" Elena yelled back.

Audrey knocked three times to the Salvatore boarding house door. The door narrowed down a tiny gap. She opened the door and walked inside without asking really any questions. She walked slowly inside and heard a slam behind her. She turned quickly around and almost hit Stefan.

"Oh my god Stefan. You startled me," Audrey breathed quickly.

"Sorry," Stefan said really without any amusement or laughter.

"I came here for the-"

"The history project, I know. I read the text," Stefan said and walked past Audrey to the what seemed to be the library. He walked to the liquor table and poured himself some whiskey.

"We could start the project," Audrey raised her eyebrows and put her hands in the air and watched Stefan take a huge sip from his glass, "Or we could do that."

"I'm sorry, is it a bad time?"

"Actually-" Stefan started but cut off by his brother walking next to Audrey.

"It's a great time," Damon continued with a smirk and walked past Audrey to Stefan and took the drink away from his hand. He wiggled his finger and scolded him playfully.

"You are under aged," Damon said while he grabbed the glass out of Stefan's reach and drank it himself.

"Okay? So should we start, Stefan?" Audrey tightened her grip on her light brown leather bag. She took her dark leather jacket off and threw her bag with it on the couch on her way to Stefan. Both Damon and Stefan looked at her in surprise and she shrugged with a tiny shoulder movement.

"Well where else should I put these? I don't even know where we are doing this," she kept a pause while inhaled, "project."

"My room," Stefan said and they got a winky face and a whistle from Damon. Audrey nodded ignoring Stefan's brother and grabbed her jacket and bag which she just had threw on the couch and started to follow Stefan. He walked to the stairs and leaded Audrey into his room. It was all dark and looked depressing. Audrey threw her stuff on an armchair and sighed. Stefan grabbed paper from his desk and a pen.

"So where should we start?" Stefan questioned and raised his thick eyebrows. Audrey sat down on another armchair and glanced at Stefan.

"Mystic Falls in 1864? The, uhm, church burn? Wasn't that our assignment?" Audrey asked and got answered by a chuckle. Stefan nodded and walked over to his large bookshelf. It was full off books, no, not books, they looked like journals. He grabbed one, walked back to Audrey and stomped the journal to a coffeetable near Audrey.

"This is a family journal," he said and smirked. Audrey looked suspicious and smiled to him.

"Okay? How do you know there's stuff from the church burn?" she asked with a large smile.

"I have read it," Stefan said and smiled to her widely.

"Oh, well aren't you a bookworm. Interested in your family's history?" she questioned. Stefan laughed and a small grin appeared in his face.

"You could say that," he finally let out after a while. They started doing the paper. Audrey really started to like Stefan but every second he started to get under her skin, she shook him off and put on the bitch face. She couldn't hold it so long because Stefan was just so nice to her. He felt so close and familiar she didn't even know how to describe it.

Stefan left his room to go to the bathroom and left Audrey to write more to the project. She was getting excited the more she wrote and accidentally dropped a journal from the desk. It opened from the middle and an old picture dropped out. Audrey stopped writing and frowned her brows to the picture. She reached down and lifted the journal with the picture. It took her breath away.

Katherine Pierce 1864

That was the girl from her dream. But how was that possible? Katherine looked exactly like Elena, how was that possible? Audrey shook those thoughts away and closed the journal and tried to place it like it was. Stefan entered the room a second after she had placed the journal back.

"What were you doing?" Stefan asked.

"I was writing the paper," Audrey said and got back to the writing like it was what she was doing all along. Stefan walked slowly back next to Audrey to help her with the project. He breathed in and glanced at Audrey.

"I hope this isn't weird but," Stefan said and offered a beautiful bracelet. Audrey frowned and looked at the bracelet.

"What is this for?" she asked and Stefan moved closer.

"An offer from a friend," he said, "a peace offer."

"Okay," Audrey smiled as Stefan took her wrist and put the silver bracelet on Audrey's hand. Audrey looked at it and smiled tiny to him. Stefan smiled back to her and they got back to the project.

They got finished and the project was looking great.

"We are getting A's from this project," Audrey said and turned to Stefan. He had escorted Audrey to the door. He was leaning on to the door frame and nodding to Audrey.

"I really didn't like you at first Stefan, honestly," Audrey chuckled, "but today was kind of fun. Though we did schoolwork."

"Well I'm glad that I'm not that awful," Stefan said and it made Audrey laugh bubbly.

"See you around Stefan," she smiled and turned around. She began to walk to the car and fastened her pace when she heard the door shut. She ran to the car and crawled quickly inside. She threw her bag on the passenger seat and sped away from the Salvatore house.

"What the hell is going on?" she asked herself when she thought about the picture.

She went over speed and at the same time she was trying to reach her bag. She was trying to reach even more and the more difficult it got to watch the road and try to take stuff from the bag. It felt like she lost control over the car so she quickly placed her two hands back on the wheel. She got the control back. The car wiggled but stayed in the road. She sighed with relief and looked back at the road. Then suddenly a man appeared in front of her car. She hit him. The car went sideways and flipped over. Audrey's body was like a doll going down with the car. She hit her head and felt the incredible pain in her leg. She screamed in pain and when the car stopped she was upside down and cried. She heard a swoosh and a man looked at her from the window.

"Damon?" she asked and the man smiled.

"The one and only," he said and opened the car door with an inhuman power. Audrey cried as Damon reached onto her seat belt. She placed her arms onto the ceiling and held her body up as Damon released her from the seat belt.

Audrey crawled out of the car a pain on her right leg was unbearable. Damon took her by the hand and pulled her out. He helped her to stand but it was too painful to her leg.

"Ah!" she shouted when her leg couldn't hold her weight. Before she could hit the ground Damon swung her in his arms, bridal style. Damon looked at Audrey's half open eyes and noticed that she had a wound on her forehead and cheek.

"Damon," Audrey said hoarse with her head wobbling from side to side.

"Try to stay awake," he said but Audrey's head was hurting and so was her foot. She couldn't stay awake. The darkness fell over her eyes.

Audrey played the car crash, again and again in her mind. It was like a broken CD. This truly didn't help her fear of cars. She inhaled deeply and slowly opened her eyes. The car's motor was running and it was soothing her. She glanced first out of the window and then her left side.

"Damon?" she asked just under her breath.

"Yes honey?" he asked and turned his head to the side with a smile so wide, Audrey could have sworn it went from ear to ear. Audrey ignored him and glanced out the window. They were in Mystic Falls, it was dark but she could see that much. The car stopped and Damon yanked his seat belt off, as well as she did Audrey's.

"I am taking you home," he said and jumped out of his car. Audrey tried to open the door with every power she had. She felt so weak. Damon was on her side surprisingly quick and opened the door. He helped Audrey stand and he practically carried her to the door. He took her face into his hand and studied her eyes. Audrey couldn't concentrate and her eyes just wondered from Damon's lips to eyes to cheek bones.

"Forget I saved you, you dragged yourself from the crash and you think your leg is broken, okay?" he said and Audrey saw his pupils increase and decrease. She frowned but nodded to him. When she blinked he had vanished. Audrey hit her fist on the door multiple times.

"Jenna!" she shouted and the door was quickly opened. Jeremy was standing there, watching Audrey with shocked look.

"Oh my god!" he looked at Audrey from head to toe and backed off to go get Jenna and Elena. Audrey took a hold of the door so she wouldn't collapse. She held her stomach with her other hand and tried move inside the house. A sudden urge to cough consumed her and her hand slipped its hold and made Audrey fall to the ground. She whined in pain as the floor hit her. She heard someone run down the stairs.

"Audrey! Oh my god!"

"Car crash," she whispered and turned her head up.

She stared at the ceiling and a strawberry blonde head appeared on her sight. A brunette head as well. She felt something wet drop down on her.

"We need and ambulance 2104 Maple Street, Mystic Falls, Virginia. Please hurry my sister has been in a car crash."
