The rest of the school day was fairly uneventful for Eden, seeing as Eden didn't have any other classes with Elena, so she couldn't pester her about visiting Damon. So when the final bell rang, Eden was relieved to be done with the day, but not really sure what she was going to do with Elena on the drive home.

As she walked out of her class and into the crowded hallway, Eden was suddenly swept into a janitors closet, at a speed so fast that it made her dizzy.

"What just..." Eden weakly began, while cradling her head in her hands. Before she could finish she looked up and saw Stefan.

"What just happened?" Eden reiterated, looking Stefan in the eye. "I thought you left or something. And how did I end up in here. And why?" Eden continued, in a much more confused tone.

"Nothing, just drink this," Stefan said while handing Eden a water bottle that was filled only a quarter of the way. Even though she could barely see in the poorly lit closet, Eden could tell the water was strangely murky.

"Umm, something's up with that water, and I am in no mood to be drugged today, so I think not." Eden replied, she was kind of freaked out by how weird Stefan was acting. "In fact, I think I'm just going to go now..." Eden trailed off as she turned to leave the closet that reeked of cleaning supplies and mildew.

"Wait, hold on," Stefan responded while stepping in front of the confused looking girl.

"I really didn't want to have to do this," Eden though she heard him mutter. Before she could ask what he meant, Stefan looked her in the eyes and said, "You will drink this water, then you will forget this conversation."

As he said that Eden felt that same sensation that she had felt earlier with Damon. "Umm, sure okay." Eden replied as she drank the murky water. While she was drinking she noticed someone leaving the room she was in. Eden was suddenly confused. Wait, how did I get here. And who is that? But before she could ask those questions, they disappeared from her mind. So Eden just continued to drink the water, and left the closet.

As Eden was walking to her car she felt her phone buzz from her back pocket. When she pulled it out to check it, she realized that it was and unknown number, and by the text that came with it, Eden realized that it was Damon.

"hey sunshine, plans changed and im now free all evening. come over whenever," the text read.

"really, sunshine? sure. i'll head over around fiveish. i still dont know where you live though." Eden responded, still walking towards her car, where she saw Elena and Jeremy waiting.

Once she got to the car, Eden unlocked it and jumped in while throwing her stuff on the passenger seat. As she started the car she saw Jeremy hop in the back seat with his earbuds in, and Elena throw Eden's stuff in the back and sit down.

Knowing what was coming, Eden didn't say anything and backed out of her spot, trying to to hit the people running back and forth.

"What were you thinking Eden! Come on, at least act like your trying. Your supposed to be the realist, the twin that doesn't do stupid stuff like that. I'm the one with my head in the clouds, but it's like everything has changed. Use your head!" Elena shouted, clearly upset by her twins actions. "Why are you even doing this?" Elena asked in a much calmer tone.

"I don't know Elena, okay! I just, I don't know anymore." Eden replied, tired and confused. All she knew was that she had to go see Damon at five, that was it.

The rest of the ride home was silent and filled with tension. The second Eden pulled into the driveway, Elena grabbed her bag and stormed out of the car. Jeremy, who was oblivious to the fight, also jumped out of the car. But he at least waited for the car to stop. Then Eden parked in front of the clutter filled garage, grabbed her bag, and headed into the house.

The second that Eden entered the front door, she noticed Elena running down the wooden stairs. Before she got to the bottom, Elena put her hand on the railing and asked, "Can I borrow your car?"

"For what?" Eden responded, but she already knew the answer. Elena had been going to the cemetery every day since their parent's deaths. Eden went with her the first few times, but after awhile it just became too much and Eden got the job at the Grill instead.

"You know where," Elena muttered. "Just please?"

"Yeah sure, whatever. Just be back before five." Eden flatly responded as she began to climb up the stairs.

"Where do you need to be?" Elena asked while turning to look up at Eden, who had almost reached the top.

"You know where," Eden replied with a smirk as she turned around to look at her sister who had a scowl on her face.

Before Eden could finish her ascent, Elena added, "Hey, I'm going to need the keys."

"Oh yeah," Eden replied while taking the lanyard that housed her keys and tossed it down to her sister, who promptly caught them and headed out the door. Then Eden turned back around and walked over to her room, where she threw her bag on her bed and collapsed next to it. As she got up to lean on her elbows so she could go on her phone, it buzzed with another message from Damon.

"i live at the old boarding house, i'm sure you know where it is. and sunshine is just a reflection of your bright and bubbly personality." The text read. Eden could almost hear the sarcasm though the text.

"okay sobriety coach, i'll be there at around 5." Eden responded as she glanced at her phone's battery, which was almost at 20%.

Crap. She thought as she got up from her bed and plugged her phone in next to her cluttered desk. I should really just clean this place before I leave, because knowing me I will never get to it otherwise. Eden decided as she started to clean her room.

...

About thirty minutes later, Eden had finished cleaning and glanced at her clock, which read 4:34. Instead of waiting around for Elena to return, Eden grabbed her laptop and pulled up Netflix and watched Arrested Development. She was re-watching it for what felt like the millionth time. Around an episode later, Eden heard the front door open. Knowing it had to be Elena because Jeremy was in his room and Jenna had work, Eden shut down her computer and grabbed her phone; then she went downstairs. When she got there Eden was met by a shaken-up looking Elena who had Eden's lanyard in her hand.

"Are you okay?" A concerned Eden asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just saw something weird." Elena responded as she started up the stairs after handing the keys to Eden.

"Okay then." Eden replied, wanting to ask her what she saw but at the same time also knowing better than to press on the subject. The sisters just didn't have the same bond that they used too. So instead Eden headed out of the door and got in her car. As she was driving over to the old boarding house, Eden saw this crow that seemed to be following her.

"Stupid bird," Eden said to herself as she pulled into the mansion's driveway. She turned off the engine and pulled down the visor, where she fixed her hair in the mirror.

You've got this, just have fun and don't be stupid. Elena thought as she got out of the car and headed towards the front door.

Hey, thanks for reading! I hope you liked the chapter, and sorry that it took so long to get out, I've been really busy. Thanks for all of the favorites and follows too! Also... if you haven't already noticed, I'm trying to not totally follow the story line of the show, just so it's not the same as some of the other stories and just for my sanity. I couldn't follow the whole plot line or I'd go crazy. By the way, I don't know if any of you picked up on it but please don't think that I made a plot hole or whatever in the story, the reason Stefan didn't compel Eden to forget about Damon was because, like in the show, he is weaker from the animal blood and knew he couldn't erase Damon's compulsion on her. Once again, thanks. Please comment also! I love hearing thoughts on how the story is doing or how you think that it should go. Thanks again!
