And there they stood. At my door. The two people that I really don't want to see. The Blonde Devil and the overly cocky Demon – er – Damon Salvatore. I glared at them, mostly Caroline, and was three seconds away from actually slamming the door in their faces but Elena walked over. "Rori? Who's her-" "Surprise! Bonnie said you were doing dinner, so we brought dessert." She looked at Caroline kinda in shocked. 'Oh.' Was all that Elena could said as I folded my arms, still looking at them. Caroline finally pushed pass me and into our house."Hope you don't mind." Damon said looking at me as Stefan walked to the door. "What are you doing here? " He said looking at Damon. He smirked at his little brother then looked at Elena. "Waiting for Elena to invite me in." Elena nodded her head, "Oh, yeah, you can..." "No, no, no. He can't, uh... " I said cutting her off, glaring at Damon then at Stefan for some help. "Yeah, he can't stay. Can you, Damon?" Damon glared at us as Caroline started to get pissy and yell. "God, stop being a freak, Aurora and let him in here!" My eye twitched when I heard the word 'Freak'. I was about to hit Caroline but Stefan grabbed me, holding me back. "We're just... finishing up." He said to Damon. I could see that my sister was getting really fed up with me and Stefan acting like fools. "It's fine. Just come on in." She said to Damon before he walked into our home. After Damon walked in, Elena closed the door and I watched as he walked into our living room. "You have a beautiful home, Elena. Aurora. " He said to us, smiling. "Thank you." We said at the same time. Elena sounding more happy then me. I wonder why..

We had our desserts in our hands and gathered into the living room. As they talked, I sat there in silents, listening to them speak about today. I kept noticing Damon eying me and I kept sending him glares. I didn't need Caroline seeing this and bitching me out, blaming me for something I didn't do. Just then, Caroline spoke up, "I cannot believe that Mr. Tanner let you on the team. Tyler must be seething. But good for you. Go for it." Stefan was about to say something but Damon cut in. "That's what I always tell him. You have to engage. You can't just sit there and wait for life to come to you. You have to go get it." I looked over at Stefan, who wasn't liking his brother being here. I guess he has a lot of problem with Damon. Caroline looked at everyone before opening her mouth again, "Yeah, Elena wasn't so lucky today." She looked over at my sister. "It's only because you missed summer camp. God, I don't know how you're ever going to learn the routines. Plus you keep bring your sister around when we're practicing so she feels apart of something." I started to glare at Caroline. "To feel apart of something? I can out cheer you any day of the week." I felt a hand be placed onto my mine, making me look at Bonnie. "I'll work with Elena. She'll get it." Bonnie said then she gave me a look telling me to clam down. Frowning, I sighed looking away. "I guess we can put her in the back. Maybe even ban Aurora from practice." Caroline said thinking out loud about about us like we're not even here. My Sister in the back row? Ban me from practice? Why does this girl wants to die by my hands. Damon looked over at me, seeing that I was pissed. "You know, you don't seem like the cheerleader type, Aurora." He said to me. I was about to answer him but The Blonde Devil butted in. "Oh, she's not." She glared at me before continuing, "and Elena acting like this just 'cause their parents died. Yeah, I mean, she's just totally going through a blah phase. She used to be way more fun. And I say that with complete sensitivity." I can't take it anymore. I shot up and stormed into the kitchen. I'm not going to sit there and listen to the she devil talked down about my family.

I started cleaning the dishes and placing them into the dish washer. I was trying so hard to zone them out. I hated her. I hated her so much and the only one that is holding me back from not busting in there and beating the crap out of Caroline was Elena. I over heard Damon saying something then started to talk about Katherine again. I really wonder who this Katherine chick is. I sighed thinking that I was done with the dishes but nope. "One more." Damon said holding out a glass out for me to grab as he walked in. I mumbled 'Thank you' and grabbed the glass but it slipped through my fingers. I closed my eyes, waiting to hear the shattering of the glass but nothing happened. I opened one of my eyes and looked at Damon holding out the cup again. "Nice catch." I said to him before taking the glass (Without dropping it) and started cleaning it. He looked at me, leaning his back again the counter. "So you can be nice." I glanced at him before he continued, "Anyway, you looked like you wanted to kill Caroline. You really don't like her, do you?" I smiled about what he said. "Nope. Your girlfriend is a loud, psycho blonde she-devil." Saying that, I turned off the water and looked a him. He was smirking at me and shrugged. "True." Then I watched him moved a bit closer to me to whisper, "Plus, I would bet on you against her." I started to laugh at that statement. He'd pick me over his Girlfriend? That's funny. Damon smiled at me, listening to me laugh."I like you. You know how to laugh." I quickly covered my mouth, trying to kill my laughter. "Well I don't like you." He looked at me, acting hurt. I smiled at him, about to walk away. "Look, Aurora," I stopped and looked at him "Let's start over." Damon said then held out his hand. "Hi, I'm Damon Salvatore." I looked down at his hand then looked back at him. Is he kidding right now? I slowly reached down and took his hand, playing along."And I'm Aurora Gilbert." He then moved my hand to his lips and kissed it. "I know, your the better twin." I giggled softly then realized what I was doing and pulled my hand away. "I may be different then her but I'm not the better one." "Maybe, but you seem to be a bit more alive then Elena." I tilted my head at him then looked down. "Well I am a bit more of a 'Freak' then her." I said bring up what Caroline called me earlier. "Your not a freak." Hearing Damon say that, I looked up at him, finally meeting his eyes. I forgot just how blue his eyes were. Then realizing how close we were and I slowly tried to move back.

"So. Question." I said to him, making space between us. "Okay, Shoot." He replied moving a bit closer, making me back up into the counter. "How did Katherine die? I'm sorry, I was listening from here and-" "No its fine and She died in a fire. Tragic fire. " He said cutting me off. I looked at him with widen eyes. "Recently?" I asked him then he shook his head 'No.' "It seems like it was yesterday." Slowly nodding my head, I understand how he feels. Its the same feeling I get when I think of my mom and dad. When you lose someone you love, it takes a lot more then one summer to heal. "What was she like?" I looked up at him, wanting to hear more about Katherine. He looked at me and smiled gently. "She was beautiful. A lot like you in that department. She was also very complicated and selfish and at times not very kind, but very sexy and seductive." He thinks I'm beautiful? I smirked up at him, "So which one of you dated her first?" He started to chuckled at my question, "Nicely deduced. Get Elena to ask Stefan. I'm sure his answer differs from mine. I'd talk to your sister about quitting cheerleading if I was you." I was a little taken back from this. Why would I ever do that, she loves cheerleading. "Why do you say that?" He shrugged his shoulders before taking a step back. "Oh, after you stormed off, I started to watch them and I saw her at practice. She looked miserable." I nodded my head at him then stopped. "One, I didn't storm off. And two, She used to love it. But things are different this year for us. Everything that used to matter doesn't anymore." Its like me and my music. It was only day that I found the feeling to write songs again. "So don't let it. Tell her to quit, she'll move on. Problem solved. Ta-da." I smirked at him and playfully smacked his arm. "Some things could matter again. It happened for me." He gave me a look, wanting me to go on and tell him what I was talking about but I never did. "Maybe. But... seems a little unrealistic to me." I merely shrugged my shoulders, "For some people it is. Look, I'm sorry. About Katherine. You lost her, too." I said to him, looking at his eyes again. Just then Bonnie walk in with Elena, making me turn from him to look at them. "Hey. Need some help?" Bonnie asked smiling at us. Damon turned to them as well before speaking, "Sure, why not?"

As we all started to clean the kitchen up, I started to catch Damon glancing over at me once in a while. I would smile to myself and and tuck my hair behind my ear. I could get use to this nice Damon. Personally, that cocky Damon was going to get his teeth kicked him this afternoon but now. Now he was funny and nice and I am confused. Snapping from my thoughts, I noticed Damon wasn't in the kitchen with us anymore and Elena was looking at me, smirking. "So what was taking you guys so long in here?" I looked at her weirdly, "What do you mean, Elena?" Elena placed her hands on her hips, staring me down. "I mean that I heard the water being shut off but you guys didn't come back. What gives." I crossed my arms looking back at her. I really hope shes not thinking that we did something. "We just talked, Elena. Nothing more. Nothing less." Bonnie looked at us and sighed turning to me. "So nothing happened? I mean Damon is with Caroli-" I snapped cutting her off, "Like I cared that hes with the Blonde Devil? No I don't but sorry, nothing happened. He wanted to start over and be friends. And we talked about Katherine. So I didn't jump his bones." After I said that, Caroline walked, in joining us. We changed the subject and finished up cleaning. As we said our goodbye, Bonnie whispered sorry to me, which I gladly accepted. I moved over to Stefan and Damon, ignoring Caroline standing next to him. "Good night, guys." I said smiling at them. Stefan smiled a me saying 'good night' before moving to my sister. "Good night, Aurora." I heard Damon say with a smile on his face. "Please, call me Rori." I held out my hand and he was more then happy to take it in his own. "Rori." With that we let go of each others hands and Caroline quickly took his pulling him out of the house. "Come on, Damon."

3rd POV.

Aurora stood in the cemetery, just like many dreams before this one, but this one felt different. She looked around the foggy cemetery and spotted the man standing in the same spot he was always in. So Aurora slowly moved to him, waiting for the fog to thicken but it didn't. She reached for his hand and he gladly took it, pulling her to his chest. 'Finally' Aurora thought as she looked up at him, only seeing his bright blue eyes staring down at her. She was about to ask him his name but he quickly leaned down and kissed her. She tried to pull away but he was to strong so she started to kiss him back. The stranger slowly laid Aurora on the ground and moved on top of her. He started to kiss her again, keeping her body against his. When their lips parted, Aurora opened her eyes and finally saw her dream guy. "Damon!" She screamed, as her eyes widen looking at him. He started to smile at Aurora as she screamed more.

Aurora's POV.

I sat up screaming and quickly covered my mouth. Panting hard , I looked around my room. My eyes finally fell on my window where a crow was sitting on the windowsill looking at me. "That was weird." I whispered then got up slowly, not wanting to scare it away. I reached for the crow and gently touched its head. "So your finally letting me touch you?" I chucked looking at the crow. Just then, my alarm went off, making the crow get scared and fly away. Quickly moving to my alarm clock, I turned it off and moved to my dresser to get dressed. I changed into my 'Star Terk' v-neck shirt and my shorts. As I was finished getting dressed, I started to think of what Damon said and my dream. God, he can't be the guy that I have been seeing. Ugh this is not happening. Still thinking, I placed my hand down on my dresser and felt something. I picked up a Silver Star necklace that smelt like Roses. Smiling, I slid it around my neck and looked at the mirror. Beautiful. I checked the time and walked to Elena's door. When she opened her, she moved to the side to let me in. "Hey I really need to talk to you." I told her, walking into her room. "Same here but oldest first." Elena said watching for my reaction for being called old. "Oldest. Right." I eyed her before continuing, "Anyway, I believe that you should quit cheerleading. I mean your miserable." Elena started to laugh and through her arms around me. I pulled back, looking at her like she was crazy. "Whats so funny, luv." She calmed down and smiled at me. "I was going to quit. Now I really am going to." I laughed softly then hugged her close. After we hugged, we pulled away and started to head down. I was happy that Elena was quitting, now I have more time to with my sister. Something that I have missed.

Later that night, I was dragged to the football game. So there I was, standing by Elena and Stefan, wrapped in a timber wolf blanket as our loud mouth History teacher started to talk. I groaned as everyone in the crowd boo. I leaned my head on Elena's shoulder, listening to Tanner. It went to booing to cheering to nothing that I wanted to hear. I only cheered when we heard 'Stefan'. Oh, we yelled and screamed for him. Moments later, we started to hear a fight break out and when we got to it, I wasn't shocked who was fighting. Stefan hurries over and grabbed a hold of Tyler's wrist. "Hey, he's down! Enough!" Tyler turned around to Stefan and punch him right in the face. Shockingly, Stefan looked like he didn't feel a thing. I watched as Jeremy grabbed a broken piece of a glass bottle and went to strike Tyler. Tyler quickly moved out of the way and Jer cut Stefan instead. "Jeremy, no!" Elena went to Jeremy's side to take care of his bloody nose while I quickly moved to Stefan's. I looked at his hand and saw the cut. "Stefan your hand!" Stefan, realizing I saw the cut, tried to hide it from me. Reaching for it, I took his hand and saw that the cut starting to heal itself. Letting go of his hand, I covered my mouth. "Oh, My Jeez" I whispered softly looking up at Stefan with wide eyes. "Aurora." He placed his hands on my shoulders, "Please don't say anything to Elena." He begged moving his hands from me. All I could do was nod my head. He sighed as Elena came over and tried to take his hand. Stefan tried to hide it but Elena was able to force his palm open and the scar was gone. "But...I saw it, it was.." Elena said, sounding as confused as she looked. Stefan shook his head, trying to assure her that he wasn't cut and that Jer missed. But Elena kept it up, holding onto his hand. "No ,no, no. I-I saw it. The glass cut your hand. It was.." I took a hold of Elena's other hand and squeezed it gently, trying to calm her down. "Elena, sweetie, he missed. Everything is fine." I assured her then glanced up at Stefan before letting go of Elena's hand and leaving them alone. I couldn't be there anymore. I was way to freaked out. What in the blue hell did I see? Stefan couldn't of healed himself...could he? Ugh my head is spinning, I needed to go home and now.

I texted Elena and told her that I wasn't feeling so hot and wanted to head home. Happily, she texted me back quickly, telling me to drive safe and she'll get a ride from Stefan. I hurried to where we were sitting to grab my 'Timber Wolf' blanket and started to walk to my car. Starting to feel cold, I wrapped myself up in it as I walked, not really noticing my surrounding and ran straight into someone. I let out a yelp and covered my face, to freaked out to see who it was. I mean, the person came out of know where! "Rori, you okay?" That voice. I looked up to see Damon looking down at me. "No, You scared me." I pouted before continuing, "What are you doing here anyway?" I said pulling the blanket closer to my body. He looked around then back at me, meeting my eyes. "I'm hiding from Caroline." I couldn't help but chuckle at what he said. I would be hiding from her too if I was dating that Blonde Devil. "And why is that?" I asked, sounding like I already knew the answer before he even spoke. "I needed a break. She talks more than I can listen." As soon as Damon said that, I threw my arms up happily. "Finally, someone knows my pain!" I said laughing at the fact that Caroline's own Boyfriend finds her annoying as all hell. Damon chuckled at me before reposing, "Shes also awfully young." Lowering my arms, I looked at him. "Well not much younger than you are." He sighed, rubbing the back of his head before looking back at me. "I don't see it going anywhere in the bigger picture. I think she'd drive me crazy." I kinda stopped smiling at this point. She's the same age as I am and I'm kinda getting the feeling that people my age drive him crazy. Other then that, I would agree with everything he's saying about her and how it most likely won't last long. I let out a soft sigh before speaking, "Damon, I understand that Caroline has some extremely annoying traits and I do hate her but she has been there for my sister since the first grade. So I think you should stop talking about things I already know about her." Damon nodded his head, throwing his hands up. "Duly noted. I'm sorry if I make you uncomfortable. That's not my intention." I snorted, Right. "Yes, it is. Otherwise you wouldn't put an alternate meaning behind everything you say." He shrugged his shoulders and stepped closer to me, "You're right. I do have other intentions, but so do you." I do? I thought as I rolled my eyes before backing up from him. "Oh really?"

"Mm-hmm. I see 'em. You want me." I stared at him like he was crazy. I want Damon? Pssh, Yeah and I'm the Queen of England. Nope. He knows nothing on how to flirt with a girl. I crossed my arms looking up at him. "Uh huh, sure I do, Damon. Now if you Excuse me, I want to go home." I chuckled and started to walk around him, heading to the packing lot. Just then, I felt his hand stop me and spin me around to face him once more. "I get to you, Rori. You find yourself drawn to me. You think about me even when you don't want to think about me. I bet you even dreamed about me. And right now... You want to kiss me." Just after he said that, his pupils started to grow. I couldn't get myself to look away. I mean his eyes..Hell he was so gorgeous and I kinda think I do, in fact, want him. I felt myself lean in to kiss him but then my mind flashed back to Stefan's hand and how the cut healed itself. A human can't help itself so that mean Stefan wasn't human. So then Damon wasn't! Just when I felt my lips brush against his, I quickly pulled away and slapped him across the face. As he held his face, I pulled my blanket close and walked past him but stopped, to turn to him. "Look, I don't know what kind of mind games your playing, Damon but lets get one thing clear. I don't want to be a part of them. Hell, I don't want Elena throw into them either." He sighed and was about to say something but I stopped him, "No. Don't speak. Listen, I don't know what happened between you and Stefan or what happened in the past, but let's get one thing straight... I am not Katherine. Elena is not Katherine. So just stop." I didn't notice but I had tears rolling down my face. Thankfully, I wiped my eyes before he looked at me. His eyes moved from my face to my necklace and I noticed that they widen a tiny bit. I groaned and walked away from him and to the packing lot.

When I got home, I was ran up to my room and slammed the door shut. I didn't what to talk to anyone. I feel like am just going insane and know one could help me. I saw Stefan heal himself and Damon...He tried to...I don't know but all I know is I needed to stop thinking of him. I shook my head trying to think of something else then him. After changing my clothes to my PJ's, I went to my drawing table and started to sketch to get my mind off tonight. As I sketched, I started making eyes that could see into my soul and a smile that took my breath away without even trying. Then before I realized it, I sketched Damon. His whole face was now sketched in my notebook and it made me feel...something. I stared at it for a second before closing my notebook. Sighing, I shut my lamp off and climbed into bed, quickly falling to sleep.

DAMON's POV

I quietly climbed into Rori's window as she slept. I looked around seeing some sketchings on her walls and all over her floor. As I finished looking at her room, I looked at her. She was cruel up in a ball, holding onto her pillow as she dreamt. I have been visiting her dreams for this past year now, I forgot how peaceful she looked out side them. Truthfully, a part of me wanted to watch her sleep but that's not what I'm here for tonight. I needed to find that necklace. That necklace she was wearing earlier had vervain in it. It was shocking that I didn't realize it at first. Little brother knows some tricks, I guess. I sighed, looking for it, but I had no luck. Then I looked at her again. As I stepped closer, I noticed the Silver chain of the necklace was around her neck still. Sighing, I reached down and gently caressed her face. Stefan could be right, deep down I could have a part of me that does feel for her. But I have proved my brother wrong before. I watched as a tiny smile grew on her lips as I moved my hand away. "Sweet Dreams." I whispered, leaning down and ever so gently kissing her cheek before disappearing from her room.
