When I woke up this morning, I remembered nothing from my dream. To me honest, I didn't dream at all. Which is weird because I don't believe I never not dreamt before. Letting out a sigh, I sat up in my bed and grabbed my phone off my side table. I guess I missed a call or something while I slept in. I hit the miss call button and listened to the call. "Hey..uh Rori..Its Stefan." There was a long pause before he continued. "I was wondering if you come over today. We uh…have something to talk about, okay? Don't tell Elena, alright? Alright, cya later I guess. Bye." By the end of the missed call, everything that happened last night floored into my mind and I began to freak out. I know that Stefan wouldn't hurt me or Elena for that matter…but would Damon? I quickly got out of bed and headed over to the bathroom to shower. After my shower, I hurried to my dresser and changed into my Doctor Who tank top and my shorts from yesterday before heading down stairs. As I went down the stairs, I over heard Aunt Jenna and Elena talking about someone.
"Oh, no way. You and him? He's cute." Elena said looking at the TV while Aunt Jenna rolled her eyes. "Morning and who's cute?" I asked while I walked over to the coffee maker and poured myself a cup of heaven. As I turned around to face them I realized that Elena has disappeared, leaving Aunt Jenna alone, looking at the TV. "Logan Fell and he's not 'Cute'. There's nothing cute about him." She said turning around and watching as Elena carried in a old box then started to pull random things out of it. "What are you doing with that?" Aunt Jenna asked her as we watched her pull out things of the box like its was Mary Poppins' bag. I moved over to Elena's side as I sipped my coffee. "I went yesterday and got it from the safe deposit box. Mom had told Mrs. Lockwood she would loan it to the founder's council for their heritage display." Aunt Jenna nodded her head then picked up a pretty ring. "Is this grandma Beth's wedding ring?" I reached over to take it from her but Aunt Jenna quickly slapped my hand away while Elena spoke. "Originally it was great-great-grandma Mary's wedding ring." I mumbled and drank the last off my coffee before putting my cup down. Then Jeremy walked in and started to look at the pocket watch. "How much do you think this stuff is worth? You know, like on eBay?" I chuckled at his question before I took the pocket watch from him. "You're not gonna find out, Kiddo" I smirked at him, just playing but I guess he took me seriously. "That stuff is mom and dad's. You can't just give it away." Jer yelled, getting really mad at us for some reason. Elena sigh and looked at him, "I'm not giving it away. It's called a loan, Jeremy." I was about to say something but then the door bell rang. I told them I got it and quickly placed the pocket watch into my pocket as I hurried to the door.
Opening the door, I saw Stefan. "H-Hey Stefan." He looked at me with worry in his eyes. "Rori, are you okay?" He reached for me but I backed up. I don't know what was wrong with me but I was still freaked out a bit. "Yeah, Fine. So I got your message. Do you wanna talk about it later?" I watched as he nodded his head then walked into the house. "Yeah, later. Is Elena here." I grabbed his arm and pulled him to the kitchen. I squeezed his arm a bit as we got closer to everyone. I guess he knew what I was thinking and whispered to me. "I won't hurt her, Rori. I just don't want to tell her yet." I nodded my head again staying quite and closed my eyes before yelling for Elena. "Elena your Prince Charming is here." I let go of his arm and smirked at him, making him chuckle. Just then Elena ran in and kissed him, making me turn away. "I loved that my sister was happy and all but please, don't do that in front of me." I said covering my eyes. After hearing them laugh at my actions, they headed up stairs while I headed back to where Aunt Jenna was. I noticed that Jeremy left. Most likely still mad about everything. Sigh.
"Hey." I said walking over to her as she cleaned some of the stuff Elena pulled out and I guess forgot about. "Hi. You sound like your annoyed with something." How did she know? I looked at her as she stopped what she was doing and gave me the 'I know you better then Elena does something' look. I sighed and leaned my head against the cold counter top, "I don't wanna go." "Go to what, Rori?" I groaned and lifted my head up, pouting. "The Founder's ball." Aunt Jenna just laughed and placed her hands on the counter top as she looked at me. I know I sound like a winy kid but hell, I hate the stupid ball. "I'm guessing Elena is making you go?" I groaned again, answering her question then laid my head back down on the counter. "I think you should go. Maybe you will meet someone attractive there." This time I just kept my head on the counter, "But I don't like dresses, boys suck and date blonde devils." I mumbled but little did I know that I kinda said that louder then I thought. "So the guy you would go with is going with Caroline?" Aunt Jenna asked. Its funny that she knows Caroline by Blonde Devil. Lifting my head up, I sighed and nodded. "Yup but you know what Aunt Jenna. If he wants to date the devil then he can. I'm okay with that." "Your lying." I glared at her a tiny bit but frowned. I am lying but he picked her. Even if I had the chance to kiss him last night, I was way to freaked out to do it. "I'm going to the grill, alright? I don't know when I will be back." I said as I slid my blue converses on and headed to my car after she said bye.
When I got to the Grill, I went to one of the tables and waited for Bonnie and, sadly, Caroline. I didn't want her to come with Bonnie but its whatever. I'm able to be a good girl IF she does. and that's a big if. Thankfully I brought my sketch book at started to sketch random people from the bar. By the time Bonnie and the Blonde Devil walked in, I had half of the people in the grill sketched out. When I closed my sketch book, I looked up at them and I could see Bonnie wasn't to happy. "What's wrong, Bon-Bon?" I asked her as they sat down. Bonnie sighed and looked at me. "Caroline is taking Damon to the founder's ball and Elena is asking Stefan." I quickly looked at Caroline, who nodded her head happily. I would've thrown my pencil at her but it was my only one. "Go by yourself." The Blonde Devil told Bonnie, shrugging her shoulders. "Gee, Thanks." She said sighing. I reached over and placed a hand on Bonnie's. "You can go with me." I started to smile as Bonnie looked at my like I had two heads. Why was she so shocked? "You? Aurora Gilbert is doing to a founder's ball? In a dress, right?" She said staring at me, making me laugh a bit. Even Caroline was shocked about that. "Well, I'm being dragged by Elena and I'll most likely be hiding from everyone there if I went alone. So yeah, I'm going and yes, I'll be in a dress." Bonnie throw her arms around me, squeezing me. After we hugged and talked about what I was wearing, I turned to Caroline.
"So Caroline. What about your mom? Is she okay with you bringing Damon?" I asked her. She gave me a bitchy look and snorted. "And I'm supposed to care why?" I raised my hands up, not asking her again. As I reached for my coffee, Bonnie spoke up, "He's older sexy danger guy." "Older sexy danger guy? Is that an official witch twitter tweet?" I all most died drinking my coffee when she said that. I slammed my cup down and gave Caroline a dirty look. "Caroline! Really?" I scolded her but she just brushed me off. "No more witch jokes, okay? That whole Mr. Tanner prediction thing has me freaked." Bonnie told her as she bite down on her lip. I just heard about Mr. Tanner's death this morning on the news and it freaked me out. Even thought we hated each other, he was still my teacher. " Okay. And Damon's not dangerous." That made me snout which mad her look at me before she continued, "You know, he just has a lot of issues with his brother. You know, like major, deep-Rooted drama." Drama? Right. Me and Bonnie shared a look and looked back at Caroline. "Like…?" It took The Blonde Devil a couple of minutes but she then said that she couldn't tell us. I have a feeling that it was only because I was at the table that she wasn't opening her mouth to gossip. That made Bonnie laugh a bit. "Caroline Forbes, when have you ever kept a secret in your life?" The Blonde Devil thought about what she said then sigh. "Okay, But you…" Caroline shot me a look, "…Can't tell Elena." I shook my head as Bonnie gave her a 'Really' look. "No." We said at the same time. Why would you ask me to keep something from my own sister. Caroline frown, giving up on the whole 'keep away from Elena' thing and started to spill her guts to us.
After spending some time with Bonnie and (again sadly) Caroline, we parted our ways and I headed to my car. I didn't get a call or text from Stefan yet, so I drove over to the Salvatore boarding house anyway. When I pulled up to their house, I smiled softly. I keep on forgetting how beautiful this place is. Getting out of my car, I hurried to the from door and knocked on it. After a few seconds, a guy came to the door that I never seen before. "Hello?" He said, looking down at me. I smiled awkwardly at the guy before replying. "Hi, I'm Aurora, a friend of Stefan's." 'At least I hope I was his friend', I thought after I said that. He gave me a small yet nice smile before letting me into the home. "Well its nice to meet you, Aurora. Stefan will be home soon. You can wait in the living room if you want." I simply nodded my head and walked to their living room. When I got in there, I looked around and spotted the liquor table next to the fire place. Moving to the table, I started to look at all the drinks they had. "Captain Morgan. Vodka," I started to listen them off one by one, "Eh. A lot of Gins, Kinky Lux Rum and - Oh my Jeez." I stopped and smiled happily. "Bourbon!" I squealed, holding the bottle close to my chest. Again, I don't drink much but when I see a drink…I want it. Especially Bourbon. Its like heaven in a bottle. Almost better then coffee. Almost. I wonder who's these are because I really hope they won't miss it. As I started to looked for a glass, I heard someone clearing their throat behind me. I turned around, still holding the bottle of Bourbon to my chest, to see Stefan looking at me, trying not to laugh. I have caught red handed. Damnit. "You know, Damon might kill you if you drink his Bourbon." I frowned, looking down at the bottle then sighed. Why does it have to be Damon's. I slowly walked back to the table and sat it back down.
"So, you wanted to talk to me, Mr. Salvatore?" I said looking over at Stefan, who was still standing in the doorway. He nodded his head, "Uh, Yeah. Come on, lets go up stairs." I simply shrugged and followed him up the stairs. When we got to his room, I hopped on to his bed and started kicking my feet off the side. Stefan chuckled at my childish actions and pulled a chair out for himself to sit down. "So Rori." I stopped kicking my feet and looked over at him. I could see the seriousness in his eyes. "Before I tell you, I need you to promise me you won't freak out." After he said that, I just nodded my head. I didn't want to say something stupid at a moment like this. I watched as he let out a breath and looked at me. "Rori, I'm a vampire." My eyes widen as I covered my mouth from making any noise. Stefan got up, moving over to my side. "I know it's a lot to take in but…A-Are you laughing?!" I couldn't help it, I started to laugh and hard too. It felt like I busted a gut I was laughing so hard. "A vampire? Really? That's funny." After a couple of minutes, I wiped the tears from my eyes and looked at Stefan. He was still staring at me with a full serious look on. And Thats when it hit me. "Oh shit…Your not kidding." He shook his head 'no' as he looked at me. "That can't be possible, Stefan. How are you a…You walk in the sun. And Damon…" Oh double shit. "Yeah Damon is one too." I laid back, letting out a groan when I hit his bed. I wasn't scared, shockingly. Really, I thought I was just a bad joke like Twilight. "So…the animal attacks? They were, let me guess, vampires?" I said staring at the ceiling waiting for him to reply. I felt the bed move and Stefan laid right next to me, staring at the ceiling with me. "Yeah, but it wasn't me. That was Damon. He feeds on people while I feed on animals." I stayed quiet after I heard that. I was trying to think of something to say but nothing was coming to mind.
Closing my eyes, I sighed, this was a lot to take in. "So…Why haven't you stopped him killing people?" Feeling the bed move again, Stefan just sighed, sitting up. "I'm working on it but he can be more dangerous if I provoke him." He got quiet for a few seconds before he continued. "But you shouldn't worry, the necklaces that I gave you and Elena has a herb called vervain in them." After I heard that, I sat up also. So that's where this necklace came from. I looked down at the silver star then up at Stefan. "You gave this to me?" I watched as he nodded his head. "I wanted to protect the both of you from Damon but also myself." After I said 'Thank you', I let out a chuckle and started to smile. This was amazing, Vampires are alive - er - kind of and are living in Mystic Falls. I quickly hopped off his bed, landing on my feet and turned to look at him. He was just smiling at me. "What?" I asked as he chuckled a bit. "Its funny how your taking this so calmly." I merely shrugged, "I'm a freak. So I'm usually mentally prepared to hear things like this. Well that, plus the night of the football game I figured out you weren't human. Had to be Vampire. Or Werewolf." I heard him laugh about me saying werewolf. He told me that they were long gone and I had nothing to fear about them coming out on full moons. "Oh and one more thing." "Okay, shoot." I said looking at some of his books he had. "You can't tell anyone, even Elena." I laughed to myself. Oh Stefan, you're the second person or vampire to tell me not to tell my sister something. I won't tell her anyway, she wouldn't believe me. "Wasn't even going to try but I do have a question." I turned around as I held a book in my hand, still looking at it. "What would that be?" I walked over to the chair he pulled out for himself and sat down. "How does one kill a vampire?" Stefan watched me look through the book before he smirked. "A wooden stake of some kind would do the trick." I nodded my head. I would need to remember that for a rainy day and I'm getting attacked by vampires. "Well that's good to know because if you hurt Elena in anyway, shape or form, Stefan, I will hunt you down, stake you and feed you to the pigs." I slammed the book shut after saying that for dramatic effect. He nodded his head as I stood up and handed him his book back. "I understand, Rori. I won't hurt her." I smiled and quickly hugged him. After we pulled apart, we said our goodbyes and I left his room. When I got downstairs, I quickly headed towards the door but all of the sudden, Damon appear in front of me.
"Rori? Why are you here?" Damon asked, looking me up and down like I was a piece of meat. I just rolled my eyes, "I wasn't here for you if that's what your wondering." I wasn't scared of Damon. Scary wasn't the first word that comes to mind when I thought of him. Now that I knew what he was. I was…annoyed with him. "Oh, if only you were." I heard him mumble. I simply shrugged and tried to walk past him but was blocked. "So why were you here for Stefan. I thought Elena was dating him?" I looked up at Damon and gave him a fake smile. "Oh she is, I just wanted to harass him and talk to him about somethings." He made a 'Ah' noise then chuckle as he reach over and gently touched my cheek. "You're a very bad liar." Wow, he saw right through my lie. Maybe its was because I couldn't keep eye contact with him or maybe it was because I was shaking a bit. Either way, I needed to leave and now. I looked away from him, mumbling as I tried to walk past him again. Just then I felt him grab me and pin me against the wall. "What was that, Rori?" He said softly as he held my arms up over my head. I glared at him, trying to get free but it was know uses. "Get off me, Damon." He chuckled, "Not till you tell me what you said." Then he slowly lowered his head to my neck. I went numb. My mind went off into PANIC mode and when I felt his lips touch my neck, I screamed. "I-I know what you are!" And like that, he dropped me. He looked down at me as I sat on the floor. I change my mind, I am scared of him. I am scared of Damon Salvatore and it kills me to say it. When I finally met his eyes, I could see something. Pain. Sorrow? He reached down to help me up but I shook my head. "Please. Just don't." I slowly stood up and kept space between us. I don't want to be near him but at the same time I did. "Rori, I-" "Is even thing alright down there?" I heard Stefan yell from up stairs. "Y-Yeah, Stefan. Everything is fine. Uh, See you tomorrow." I yelled back then looked at Damon. "Have fun with The Blonde Devil tomorrow." After saying that, I left. The whole ride home, I kept touching my neck. Right were his lips touched me. Oh god, please don't be falling for a vampire, especially the one that just man handled you. Why am I being so stupid. Lets hope tomorrow won't suck this bad.
