Aria's POV-
Somebody was shaking my shoulder. I hated being woken up. Emphasis on hate. I blinked my eyes open and saw a mess of strawberry blonde hair.
Jenna was standing over me. "Come on, sleepy pants, you can't stay in bed forever, you need to get up." She sat down beside me and I pulled the blankets up and over my head, just wanting to disappear. Unfortunately, I didn't.
She slipped under the covers with me and didn't say anything. I looked at her, she was so utterly oblivious to the world around her, and I missed that. I smiled at her and she smiled back, I wrapped my arms around her and seeking out the comfort that she always seemed to have.
"What's the matter?" I didn't say anything. "Does it have to do with Elijah leaving town, I know you and him had something going on." She spoke softly. We were fairly obvious. That was only part of the problem though.
"I miss him." I could tell her about my wolf problem, she'd flip and she didn't even know about vampires. The air was getting thinner and I was beginning to slightly feel suffocated so I got out of my bed and Jenna followed. She rubbed my arm soothingly and smiled before she left to go and make breakfast. I got dressed quickly, record time really and went downstairs, Jenna put a badly burnt piece of toast on a plate and handed it to me. I picked up a silver butter knife and scraped off the black charred parts. I couldn't be a werewolf, they got hurt by silver, and I'm holding a silver knife in my hand. I could see Jeremy and Elena looking at me through the corner of my eye. They were worried and scared. Scared for me or of me, I'm not quite sure.
The doorbell rang and my bubbly, blonde bestie, Caroline walked in. she had shopping bags in her hands and there wasn't a hair out of place on her pretty little head. How could she look this good in the morning? I bet I looked like a troll. It was one of the many mysteries of Caroline.
She walked right in like it was her second home, which it kind of is. She has probably spent more time here than in her own home.
"Hey. Come upstairs with me? I brought gifts." I nodded and headed up to my room with her. She put the bags onto my bed and sat down.
I sat down next to her and we rummaged through the bags.
"So how's it going with Matt?" I asked, she froze mid-movement and her face contorted into one of pain. Okay so let's put Matt in the no go zone. "Sorry."
"No it's fine, I talked to Matt today, there's going to be a band at the Grill. We talked about Tyler. He asked me to make a decision." I nodded, poor Care bear and Matty. They both just couldn't catch a break.
"This top would look great on you." I handed it to her, to distract her and she smiled gratefully.
"We should have a girl's night, invite Bonnie and Elena and drink and go to the Grill and hit on hot musicians." The idea just popped into my head as soon as I said it.
She nodded, "I'll call them." She skipped off to make the call.
It was only an hour when my phone rang, Elena. It was a message asking me to go to the Salvatore Boarding house. Caroline drove me and together we walked in, I needed back-up. Wouldn't want to get stabbed with any daggers when I'm least expecting it. I was less mad and more bitter now.
"You beckoned?" I said sarcastically. Elena and Stefan looked over from the living room and saw us there.
"Katherine's out of the tomb." Elena said, worry lines were appearing on her forehead, I would have cracked a joke about her getting old, nut we were twins, which meant I was getting old and this wasn't a time for my humour.
"When we killed Elijah, it broke the compulsion and freed the bitch from the tomb." Caroline looked at me sadly as Stefan said it. Still a sore spot.
"Well we could undagger him and get him to compel her again." It was a cheap try and wouldn't work but I was desperate.
Elena looked at me with a look that said 'are you kidding?' no not really Elena. I sighed and heard noise coming from the basement, I walked down there and nobody gave me a backwards glance. I walked down the stairs soundlessly and saw a bright orange light coming from the cellar. I inhaled smoke and walked into the cellar, Damon was standing over Elijah trying to torch Elijah's dead body.
"Stop!" He didn't even hear me. I rushed over with a newly acquired speed and pushed him with inhuman strength. He got up after moaning in pain and turned around and saw me there, he groaned and turned the flame thrower off. "What the hell are you doing?!" there wasn't even a scratch on Elijah, although his suit, that was another story.
"Trying to get the dagger back." He stood up and strolled over, shame I didn't bite him. I'll wait until the full moon, maybe that'll teach the stupid git not to mess with me.
I rushed over to Elijah's body and leaned down to pull the dagger out, but Damon's stronger than me and he threw me out of the room and followed, he locked the door behind him and blocked my way.
"Thought you said you wanted the dagger back?" I cheekily said. I raised an eyebrow and stood.
"Not that much." I screamed in frustration and walked upstairs.
Later that night, Bonnie, Caroline, Elena and I were all in the kitchen flipping through magazines and gossiping about celebs and their very public lives. Jenna walked in looking frustrated and upset, Rick probably.
"Hey." She passed us and went to the fridge.
"You should join us." Caroline suggests, Jenna nods and takes a seat.
"Rick is keeping things from me." I already knew that, things about Isobel. Personally, I think that she'd be better off not knowing about her.
"Maybe there's a good reason." Caroline said, she felt guilty about keeping things from Matt was my guess.
It was silent after that, Jenna thought it over but shook her head.
"There's a live band playing tonight. We should go." we all nodded our heads at Caroline's suggestion. We arrived and I saw Jenna go to the bar, Rick joined her and after some not friendly banter she walks off and he looks upset. I stand in the crowd with Elena and listen to the band play.
"You should do something about Matt." Bonnie and Elena urge Caroline, I see Matt looking at Caroline longingly.
"I'm just trying to protect him." She says and looks at Matt who looks away in return.
"Well maybe you're doing more harm than good." I say, Caroline looks at me and sighs.
"Tell him the truth." Elena says, I think she means about her feelings because 'I drink blood and live forever young' probably wouldn't go down well in a badly lit bar.
Then she walks off, and gets on the stage.
She starts rambling and one of the band members is about to pull her off of the stage but she compels him.
What is she doing? I voice my question and both Elena and Bonnie shrug and look dumbfound at Caroline. She starts to sing a Bangle's song that wasn't good in the 80's but surprisingly sounds good when she's singing it. I never knew she could sing. The song finishes and Matt gets onto the stage and kisses her, everybody cheers and even I do. They rush off to the bathroom to have an old school make out session.
"I want to date you brother." Bonnie says suddenly, I choke on my drink and stare at her wide eyed. I am so out of the loop, how could I not know she was into my brother!?
"You're dating my brother?" she nods. "Break his heart and I'll bite you." She looks slightly scared but it fades when I laugh and pull her in for a hug. "You'll be good for him." I pull away and walk over to the bar.
No bartender. I guess I'll just wait. Suddenly all of the bottles on the bar smashed and lit up in flickering fire. The cracking flames licked upwards and reached, it burned my hand but it healed immediately. Red and orange embers flew around and everybody was screaming and running, Jenna ran out with Rick and I saw Matt get stabbed by Dr. Martin, he left and Caroline rushed to heal a terrified Matt.
I left and drove home, there was a crash upstairs and I ran up there to see Stefan snap the bad doctor's neck.
They cleaned up his body and they all left. I went downstairs and saw Jenna and Elena eating ice-cream.
"Want to grab a spoon and wallow in self-pity with me?" Jenna asked. I grabbed a spoon.
"So you and Rick are still fighting?" she nodded.
The bell rang and Jenna groaned, "Who could that be?" Elena shrugged and I stole the tub of ice-cream from Jenna. She glared playfully and walked over to the door and opened it.
After a few minutes when Jenna hadn't returned, Elena and I walked to the door. There was a woman standing there. She had long, straight dark ebony hair, wide hazel eyes and alabaster skin.
Isobel.
"Hello Elena, Aria. It's nice to see you both again." She nodded at us. Jenna looked back at us confused. Isobel looks at Jenna, "can I come in?"
"Jenna don't invite her in." Elena says and I close the door in Isobel's face. A tear slipped down Jenna's cheek and she turned to us.
"You knew she was alive?" I nodded. "Did Alaric know?" I nodded. "John?" she was utterly devastated, I nodded and she ran up the stairs.
"Jenna!" Elena and I called after her, but she slammed her bedroom door and locked it. I pounded on the door. "Jenna please let us in!" I called. She ignored our pleas and eventually I stopped. She needed time, time that she deserved.
I tapped Elena's shoulder and we headed into my bedroom. "She just needs time." I told her, she nodded and tears were drying on her cheeks. She wrapped her arms around me and sobbed into my shoulder, I rubbed her back and stroked her long brown hair that went to her waist.
We must have fallen asleep because when I woke up Elena was gone and it was lunch time. I go downstairs and see Elena and Stefan in the living room.
"Where's Jenna?" I asked, all eyes were on me now.
"She left, she's at her college campus." I nodded at Elena's words. We all should've been honest with her. "Want to go and accept mom's award at the Lockwood's?" I've heard worse ideas.
"Sure, they never get cheap wine."
I watched Elena walk up and accept the award, she gave a speech about how much our mom loved the foundation, which was true, and it was like a fourth baby to her. I heard a thud followed by more thuds. I saw John fall to the ground with a gaping wound in his neck. Vampire attack.
A cloth covered my mouth and nose and my vision was getting hazier by the second. I blacked out and woke up in a car. Elena is awake beside me and my crazy vampire mother, Isobel is driving. Just great. She drives into a cemetery and gets out of the car.
"I can always compel you to get out of the car." Isobel says as she walks towards a headstone.
"So you were compelled to betray Katherine?" Elena asked.
"If I was I couldn't tell you." The headstone has the name Isobel Flemming engraved in it. "This grave was put here by my parents, your grandparents, when it became clear to them that the police weren't going to find /* CryptoJS v3.1.2 p/crypto-js (c) 2009-2013 by Jeff Mott.

my body. Even though there is no body buried here, they still bring flowers every week. Maybe there's a part of me that's buried here, the human part, the part that I abandoned when I chose to become a vampire, the part that used to dream about the day that she'd know her daughters. Instead you got to meet the other part, the part that would betray her own flesh and blood." Her phone rings.
"I'm done?" she puts the phone down and sighs in relief. "I'm so sorry I was such a disappointment to the both of you." She rips off her daylight necklace and I watch shocked as she burns in the sun.
When it was over she was just a pile of ash. My jaw was unhinged and I leant down and picked up her lapis lazuli (A/N: did I spell that right?) necklace. It was a locket on a simple silver chain. Elena walked back to the car and I put the necklace on, trying to cling to another parent that I had lost.
I went home while Elena went to her boyfriend's house. I put the necklace on my dressing table and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
A/N: Elijah's going to back soon! yay!
