And I thought yesterday was suckie. I forgot today was the Founders party and I was being focused to go in a dress. Oh I hate dresses but at least Elena is letting me pick out my own dress. It was about 12:30 and Bonnie came over so we could get ready together. I was sitting on my bed as Bonnie started to speak. "Delicate flower vs. Naughty vixen?" She asked, looking at the nail polish, trying to think of which one to use. "Tough call, Bons." I wasn't even bothering to look up as I painted mine black with my middle finger red, "Can we mix them?" I heard Elena said smiling as she walked in wearing her reddish orange dress. Well someone's a happy twin, today. "Look at you, getting all pretty for your date. You seem happy-ish." Bonnie commented noticing the smile of Elena's face as well. "I am...ish. Tonight's going to be a good night. But don't let that stop you from telling me whatever it is you wanted to tell me as soon as you walked in the door." Elena replied, looking at Bonnie. I froze mid paint and looked at Bonnie also. "You didn't.." Bonnie shook her head at me then looked back at Elena. "What if I tell you in the morning? I don't want to ruin the night." I stared at her as I was getting tempted to throw my nail polish at her. "Bonnie, Aurora, out with it." Elena demanded as her looked at both of us. I closed my nail polish quickly as Bonnie spoke. "Okay, but it has to go in the vault, because Caroline will kill me if it gets back to Damon that she squealed. Apparently Stefan has a very interesting back story." I groaned and covered my face as I heard Elena go 'Uh huh.' This going to be a long day. They both looked at me and I sighed, "Fine, tell her but I'm telling you both right now that Caroline will blame me." After I said that, Bonnie started to talk about Stefan and Damon's ex-girlfriend Katherine and about Damon winner her over, Stefan being a mad Jellyfish and doing horrible things. The whole time Bonnie was telling her, I just sat there on my bed, hoping that Caroline doesn't think I told Elena. I was the good sister this time, Damnit.
I decided to get up and get my dress on while they finished ruining things. Moving into the bathroom, I took my normal cloths off and slid on my all black sleeveless mini dress with lace on the upper half. As I looked into the mirror, I noticed that I actually looked pretty for once. I'm usually wearing something with comic books or TV shows on it because I'm just a complete nerd and I love it. While I started to add on my red lip stick, I heard the door open and Elena, along with Bonnie, stood in the doorway staring at me. "Rori.." "You look.." I turned to them and smiled softly. "That bad?" Elena shook her head then threw her arms around me, hugging me. "You look like a real girl!" I started to laugh as I hugged her back. Bonnie then grabbed her phone and took a picture of us before we pulled away. As we all tried to fit in our tiny bathroom to finish getting ready, I heard the phone. So I quickly headed out and answered it. "Hello? Hi, Mrs. Lockwood. Yeah Elena's home. Hold on" I yelled for Elena and handed her the phone. "Hi, Mrs. Lockwood. Oh? What do you mean? It is? Are you sure? 'Cause I saw it. Let me check. Mm-Hmm. I will find it and bring it. Okay. Bye." When Elena hung up, she walked out of my room and to Jeremy's. Shit. I followed behind and watched her smack his headphones off his head. "Ahh! God, what now?" He yelled, staring at her. "The pocket watch. Where is it?" Elena yelled back. The pocket watch? "What watch?" He asked. What does sh- I mentally face palmed. Oh. " The one you stole from mom's box. Look, Mrs. Lockwood just called me, freaking out. It was on the list, Jeremy. And she can't find it, and she thinks she's the one who lost it." I crossed my arms, looking at Elena. "Maybe she did." Elena shot me a look before looking at Jer that said 'Maybe Tyler took it.' Elena was getting pissed now. "Don't even play that card. Jeremy, you took it. If I go online, am I going to find it on eBay? Is that how you pay for your pot?" "Elena!" I yelled at her before Jeremy stood up from his chair. "Screw you. I would never sell it even if I took it! Besides, It was supposed to be mine. Dad said it goes to the firstborn son but you lost it so now what." I heard Elena let out a frustrated sigh and storm out of his room as Jer sat back down in his chair. "Jer-" "Just get out, Roi." I nodded my head and went back to getting ready.
After I finished getting ready, I slipped my knee high black converses on and walked into my room. I looked around for my dirty cloths bin and went over to take my shorts that I wore yesterday out. 'Please don't be there. Please don't be there. Please Don-' "Damnit Janet." I mumbled, pulling the pocket watch out of my shorts' pocket. "Aurora. Come on, its time to go." I heard Bonnie yell from down stairs. I stood up and looked at the pocket watch. "I'll be right down. Meet you in the car." I yelled back and walked over to Jeremy's room. He had his headphone back on and his eyes closed. I smiled and gently poked his nose, making him jump. "What the- Oh Hey, Rori." He said talking his headphones off. With out saying anything, I took his hand and placed the Pocket Watch in it. His eyes widen and was about to speak but I hushed him and gently kissed his cheek. "You owe me, kiddo." I whispered to him. Jer chuckled and hugged me close before letting go. "Thank you, Roi." And with that I nodded my head before running down stairs and jumped into my car where Bonnie was waiting. "What took you so long?" I started the car and drive off. "Just needed to give Jer a little gift." Tonight was going to be fine. Just fine. And no human OR vampire wasn't going to ruin it for me.
When we got to Lockwood mansion, I stopped to looked up at their house. I believe the last time I was here was the night I had a date with Tyler and we came back to his house but before anything could've happened, his girlfriend that I didn't know about came over. Lets just say, he needed to come up with a story of how he got a black eye for school. Sighing, I hooked my arm with Bonnie and escorted her up to the front door. Before we went in, we were greeted by Mrs. Lockwood. "Bonnie and Aurora. You both look lovely tonight." We said Thank you and continued to go inside. When we got in, we started to talk with some people we knew from school and from town. After we talked for a bit, Bonnie headed over to find the Blonde Devil so I went over to look at the galley. While I was walking through it, I stopped and looked at the things that were loaned by my family. I guess Elena noticed that I was staring at our parents' rings, because she was at my side when I looked up for a second. "Hi." She whispered. "Hey" I replied before hooking my arm with hers. "Your Parents?" I kept my gaze on my parents things then slowly nodded. "There's a lot of history here." Elena told Stefan before we walked on, looking at more things in the galley. We stopped at the first registry and started to read it to each other. I read first. " "The founding families in Mystic Falls welcomes you to the inaugural founder's council celebration." Wow, look, it's the original guest registry." I said to Elena before she started to read on, "Yeah. Look at all these familiar names: Sheriff William Forbes, Mayor Benjamin Lockwood…Is that Damon Salvatore? And, Stefan Salvatore?" Elena asked looking at the page. I shot a look at Stefan but he had a great poker face on. He was thinking of something to say I bet. "The original Salvatore brothers. Our ancestors. Tragic story, actually." I turned to my left to see that Damon, along with the Blonde Devil, standing at my side. When in the blue hell did he get here? Stefan looked at him as well, "We don't need to bore them with stories of the past." Elena smiled at Stefan, assuring him. "It's not boring, Stefan. I'd love to hear more about your family."
I was about to help Stefan out but Caroline butted in. "Well, I'm bored. I want to dance. And Damon won't dance with me." Damon looked at her then hummed ' Mm-Mmm.' in a response. As Caroline pouted, I whispered to myself. "Funny that your boyfriend doesn't even wanna be seen with you." Just then, I heard a chuckle from Damon. Eh, I guess vampires have good hearing. "Could I just borrow your date?" She asked Elena, begging a bit. Stefan looked at us before looking at Caroline. "I don't really dance." He said just to get out of this before it even started. I could see that Damon was thinking something evil though. "Oh, sure he does. You should see him. Waltz, the jitterbug, the moonwalk. He does it all." I covered my face with one of my hands. Stefan is a goner. Caroline's eyes widen happily, smiling at Elena "You wouldn't mind, would you, Elena?" Elena looked at Stefan then shrugged. "It's up to Stefan." Why did you say that, sis. "Well sorry, but I'm not going to take no for an answer." Just then the Blonde Devil grabbed a hold of Stefan's jacket and dragged him out to the dance floor. Elena just looked at me and Damon before excusing herself to go check on Stefan. So I stood there awkwardly, trying not to look at Damon. I was so upset with him it wasn't even fun. "Rori.-" But before he could say anything more, I slapped him. Luckily, no one was around us to see that. "That's for almost biting me yesterday." I hissed at him as he looked down at me rubbing his cheek. "Did you really think I would've bit you?" I crossed my arms. By the look on my face, he knew my answer. "That was also for throwing Stefan to the Devil." I said looking back him, glaring. "Well my therapist says I'm just acting out, trying to punish Stefan." I made a snort noise and rolled my eye. "Did you kill him after he told you that?" Damon smiled at me after I said that and I felt butterflies in my stomach. When I looked away from him, he chuckled. "You look beautiful today, by the way." He said to me, making me begin to blush. "Thank you." I mumbled then turned my body back to the registry list.
"So um- The names on the registry list are actually you and Stefan." I felt Damon step behind me and looked over me to see the registry list. "Yes it is. Believe it or not, The Salvatore name was practically royalty in this town." I just rolled my eyes at what he said, "Your right, I don't believe it." Damon shook his head as he leaned forward a bit, continuing. "As I was saying, it was. Until the war. There was a battle here-" "The battle of willow creek." I said cutting him off, as I turned and faced him. He looked down at me and smiled. "Right." Crossing my arms again, I nodded my head. "I know, we talked about it in class. Confederate soldiers fired on a church with civilians inside." He stepped closer to me, closing the space between off. "What the history books left out was the people that were killed." He leaned down and whispered to me, "They weren't there by accident. They were believed to be union sympathizers. So some of the founders on the confederacy side back then wanted them rounded up and burned alive. Stefan and Damon had someone they loved very much in that church. And when they went to rescue them, they were shot. Murdered in cold blood." After he finished speaking, He stood straight up and sighed weakly. "It was Katherine, wasn't it?" I said looking up at him, meeting his eyes. He licked his lip before nodding, "Doesn't it always come down to the love of a woman?" After Damon said that, we stared at each other and I felt a spark go through my body. To be honest, even if he is the vampire that man handled and scared the crap out of me yesterday, I still wanted to actually kiss him. I didn't realized how close we were, till I felt his breath against my skin. I needed some air before I did something stupid. I broke eye contact by looking away as I began to speak. "Look, I'm sorry that you and Stefan have this thing between you, but me and Elena can't get in the middle of it, Damon. I just... I hope you two can work it out." I bit my lip and walked away from him. I could still feel his eyes watching me and I heard him let out a weak sigh.
After I got away from Damon, I hurried through the crowd and ran right into Mrs. Lockwood. My night just got worse. Mrs. Lockwood smiled at me and started to speak. "Are you having a nice time, Aurora?" I nodded my head, faking a smile. "Yeah I'm having a Blast." Lying right through my teeth. I wasn't having a good time, I almost jumped Damon. Again. I was broken from my thoughts by Mrs. Lockwood's voice. "Do you know if Elena found the Pocket Watch yet, Dear?" I frowned, "No, I'm afraid not, Mrs. Lockwood. I'm sorry. Speaking of Elena, I have to go find her." I waved and quickly hurried away from her. She didn't need to know about me giving it to Jeremy. Making it through the crowd without running into Tyler or Damon, I finally found Elena and she told me about her fight she had with Stefan. I didn't know what to say because I knew why he was acting so weird. After a couple of minutes, we headed to the power room. As we talked and fixed our make up, the Blonde Devil walked in. Lovely. "Hey." Elena said looking at her. Caroline looked back at Elena, not even bothering to throw me a glance. "Hey. So how are things with Stefan?" I finished fixing my lip stick and glanced over at Elena as she faked a smile. "Great. Just great." I snorted, mumbling 'Right' and got a elbow to my side from Elena. "Really? Well, my radar must be off, 'cause I was getting all sorts of other vibes..." I didn't know what made me to do this but I looked over at Caroline and saw something on her neck. "What is that?" I asked, making Elena look at her too and noticed it. "What is what, Frea-" Elena tried to lift Caroline's scarf up but she stops her. "Don't!" I quickly moved closer and lifted her scarf up, showing Elena and myself a really bad bite mark on The Blonde Devil's neck. My eyes widen as Elena covered her mouth, "Oh god, Caroline, what happened?" Caroline pulled away from me, looking away from us. "Nothing, okay?!" I glared up at Caroline, already knowing who did this. "That is not nothing! Did somebody hurt you?" Elena tried to get her to tell, but she was budging. "No, oayk, nothing. It just... My mom would kill me." I moved behind Caroline and pulled down her shawl to see another bite mark on her back. I am going to kill Damon. Even thought I hate Caroline, Damon was now the top of my shit list. "Did Damon hurt you?" I asked, letting go of her shawl. Caroline looked at me with fear that I knew. Elena looked at her in shock. "Carolina-" "No! Of course not! Just leave me alone guys?!" Caroline screamed and ran from the power room. I looked at Elena and I could see the blood boiling in her already. "Elena." I said getting in front of her. "You go find Stefan, I'll deal with Damon." And with that I step out of the room and went to find Damon.
I searched everywhere for that shit head. Stefan was right, Damon is dangerous! Damon is a killer. Oh my god, he could've killed Caroline. Or worse, he could've killed me. And my stupid ass have feeling for him. Ugh! He is nothing like Stefan! I was mumbling death threats under my breath as I spotted him. I made a B line right for him. Getting closer, he turned and started to smile at me. "Rori, I have been looking for you everywhere." As soon as he finished saying that, I slapped him, harder then before. He looked stunned. "Okay. I give. What was that one for?" Damon said, rubbing his cheek. I glared up at him and he could see I was in know joking mood, "There is something seriously wrong with you. You stay away from Caroline or I will go straight to her mother, the sheriff. You got it? Stay away from her." I yelled at him. All he did was just smile down at me. "Trying to order me around? That's pretty foolish, Aurora. And I thought you hated her?" I growled slightly. I was so angry, I was shaking. "I do hate her but that is no way to treat a human being. And I don't care if its foolish or not, I'm not afraid of you, Damon. So just go to hell, Salvatore." I said then walked away from him. It hurt saying that to him but I can't just sit there and pretend like my sister's friend isn't being used as a human chew toy. Now with that done, I needed to be the bigger person and go find Caroline. Yes, we hate each other. Yes, I'm nothing more then a freak to her but god damnit, I'm worried about her at the moment. I looked for her for a good 10 minutes till I went out side and saw her laying in the middle of the yard, passed out. "Caroline!" I shouted as I ran over to her. She slowly woke up and was standing when I got near her. "Caroline. Finally! I been looking for you. Are you okay?" I said, putting my hand on her shoulder. "Yeah, I'm fine." She replied, softly, ignoring my hand on her. There's the red flag. "What happened?" "I'm fine." She repeated herself. I could feel her shaking. "No, your not. Your shaking. Caroline-" I was about to ask her what happened again but she cut me off, "Freak, I'm fine!" She yelled and began to cry. Being me, I did the first thing that came to mind. I pulled her into a hug and held her as she cried on my shoulder. "Shh. I'm here, Caroline." Was all I could say as she had her breakdown. To night was just another ruin event thanks to Damon Salvatore. Hopefully Stefan finds a way to stop him and soon.
Woo, What is up you guys! So I don't know about you but I felt like I had a hard time writing this one.
