Okay so this the second part of the first episode. Hope you like it :)

I walked into Stefan's room just as he changed his shirt. I had already changed into my pajamas consisting of a dark blue lace tank top and dark blue polka dot shorts. I also threw on grey uggs and my panda sweatshirt.

"Hey Stefy." I said sitting on his bed. "Can I talk to you about something?"

He turned to me and smiled. "Of course, what's-" Suddenly Zack barged in holding a newspaper.

"You promised." Zack said throwing Stefan the paper. I stood up and looked at it with him. My eyes widened. Two people named Darren Malloy and Brooke Fenton were killed by an animal attack but we all knew it wasn't an animal….it was a vampire and I'm pretty sure Stefan and I knew which vampire it was.

"This was an animal attack." Stefan lied.

"Don't give me that." Zack said, his voice calm but angry. "I know the game, tear them up enough people expect an animal attack. You said you two had it under control."

"And we do." Stefan said giving Zack the paper.

"Stefan only drinks animal blood." I explained quietly. "I only drink from blood bags."

"Please Uncle Stefan, Aunt Clara. Mystic Falls is a different place now. It's been quiet for years, but there are people who still remember and you two being here is just gonna stir things up." Zack replied softly looking at the two of us. I didn't like that he was blaming us for this, it was like he had forgotten that he had another Uncle.

"That's not our intention." Stefan said.

"Then what is? Why did you two come back after all this time? Why now?" Zack asked the anger back in his voice. I kept quiet even though I knew the answer. It wasn't his business and we weren't going to hurt anybody.

"We don't have to explain ourselves to you." Stefan said getting frustrated.

"I know….that you two can't change who you are but you don't belong here anymore." He said looking from Stefan to me. My eyes glossed over as I looked down feeling the hurt of his words. This is our home, if we don't belong here then-

"Where do we belong?" Stefan replied finishing my thought with hurt in his voice. Great minds think alike I guess.

"I can't tell you what to do but coming back here was a mistake." Zack said throwing the paper on Stefan's desk and walking out of the room. I sighed and plopped back on Stefan's bed my head in my hands.

"Maybe he's right Stefy, maybe we shouldn't have come back to Mystic Falls," I said softly. I'm surprised Stefan even heard it.

"Or maybe Zack is wrong. We didn't come here to feed on innocent people. We came here to live normal lives." Stefan told me as he sat down next to me and placed his arm around my shoulders. "And we didn't hurt those people."

I sighed. "I know, I've just been feeling so….confused."

Stefan gave me a concerned look. "Does this have anything to do with what you wanted to talk about earlier?"

I nodded biting my lip nervously. "I thought….I thought I saw Alice earlier today….at the Grill."

Stefan sighed. "Clara, Alice died a long time ago. You know that."

I leaned my head on his shoulder. "I know….but sometimes I feel like she's watching over me and judging me for what I did to her." I looked down sadly. "I'll never forgive myself for her death."

"It wasn't your fault Clara." He kissed my forehead. "And Alice wouldn't have blamed you for that. You two were like sisters, she loved you."

I looked at him with a small smile. "She loved you and Damon too." Stefan smiled but didn't say anything. "Do you think we could ever be like how we used to be."

"I don't know Sorellina." He whispered. I smiled at the name but then frowned. I wasn't sure either.

I sighed slumping forward in my desk bored out of mind. Stupid me and my stupid big mouth. At least Stefan was able to compel my way into the school. I groaned listening to Mrs. What's-her-face drone on and on about some math problem. I literally almost fell asleep until I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I took it out of my jean pocket and checked it. It was a text from an unknown number. Frowning I read it and instantly grinned it was from Jeremy. That was the one good thing about this class. Jeremy was in it.

Hey, it looks like you're having a lot of fun over there.

Oh yeah so much fun. :p So, I see you decided to use my number. ;)

Haha yeah. You're pretty cool to talk to.

Thanks so are you lol So, I heard about this party tonight. You going?

Yeah maybe. You?

Probably. I just gotta sneak by my bro-

"Am I boring you?" I would have jumped but I sensed her coming.

I looked up and gave her a faux smile. "No, of course not Mrs. Clarke." I looked at her straight in the eyes and watched her pupils dilate. "Why don't you continue the lesson and don't worry about me ok?"

Mrs. Clarke nodded. "Okay, I'll get back to the lesson." And with that she turned and walked back to the white bored. I grinned. So, I know compulsion is wrong but I gotta admit its a little fun. My phone buzzed again and I looked at it.

How did you do that?

I smiled at Jeremy's text and replied

No idea, I'm surprised she listened to me haha. So, I'll see you at the party?

I sat on my bed still wearing the outfit I wore to school: Skinny Jeans, a teal blue owl shirt, brown boots and a white leather jacket. I bit my lip trying to pick out the perfect outfit for the party tonight. Not that I'm trying to impress anyone….because I'm so not.

"Are you still trying to figure out what to wear? The party started a half an hour ago." Stefan laughed as he walked in my room.

"Well I wanted to wear a dress but then I realized it's gonna be cold and everyone's gonna be like why are you wearing a dress aren't you cold? Though I could wear tights….." I trailed off holding up the dress I picked out.

"What?" Stefan asked looking more confused than ever. I rolled my eyes, boys.

"Nothing, just wait downstairs; I'll be ready in a minute…..literally." I grinned. He laughed and walked out shaking his head. Quickly, I threw on purple skinny jeans, a silver sequin top, suede black wedges, purple feather earrings, an owl necklace and a bunch of black bracelets. I left my hair down and wavy, changed my natural eye shadow to smokey and I was ready. I grabbed my black purse and sped down stairs.

"See, told ya it would only take a minute." I smiled standing next to Stefan.

"Yeah but it took an hour before you actually got ready." Stefan teased.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh shut up and let's go to the party."

Strangely enough the party was at this clearing in the woods and when Stefan and I arrived it was packed full of drunk and high teenagers stumbling about, talking to one another or making out with one another. I shook my head and listened to see if I could spot anyone. I found Caroline who was talking to some random girl who was probably drunk. I also spotted Elena and Bonnie talking by the bonfire with drinks in their hands. I rolled my eyes. Of course they were talking about Stefan. I glanced at Stefan to see him with a smile on his face.

"Don't be so smug Mr. Romance Novel Stare." I teased smiling.

He laughed. "I'm gonna go-"

"Hey! You made it!" We turned to see Caroline with a wide smile on her face then she looked at me and frowned. "And you brought her."

I raised my eyebrows but before I could speak Stefan did. "Yeah, but I kind of figured it would be okay since almost everyone else is here."

Caroline sighed then smiled. "True, well Stefan let's get you a drink."

"Yeah….I'm gonna go…." I spotted Matt talking to some guys and grinned. "Say hi to Matt. I'll see ya guys later."

"No drinking." Stefan called as I began to walk away.

"Uh huh." I replied rolling my eyes. I heard him laugh and then Caroline lead him off somewhere. Good luck with that Stefan. Smiling, I sped through people, who were way too drunk to notice and stopped myself right behind Matt. I tapped his shoulder causing him to jump and turn around.

I laughed. "Hey Matt, what's up?"

"Clara?" He asked smiling. "I thought Stefan didn't want you here."

"Well he didn't but I made him take me anyway." I smirked. "No way was I gonna be stuck at home while Stefan was out partying."

Matt laughed and held up his beer. "Well welcome to the party. I'd offer you a drink but-"

I grabbed his drink and giggled. "No need." I took a sip out of it and smiled. He looked at me and raised his eyebrows.

"Aren't you a little young to be drinking?" He asked.

"Aren't you?" I said taking another sip of his beer.

"Touché." Matt laughed. "So, where is your brother little one?"

"Little One? I'm fifteen not five!" I exclaimed. Matt just laughed. "Ugh you're just as bad as Stefan! And I don't know he's probably talking to Ele-" I stopped at the frown that formed on his face. "Sorry Matt."

He shrugged. "It's okay. She seems happy so I'm gonna be happy for her." I smiled, this boy is just one big sweetheart isn't he?

"I know it's hard Matt, but it will get better." I told him. "And what you're doing is real sweet. And it's kinda hot, I wish more boys were like that."

"Oh so you think I'm hot?" Matt smirked.

I grinned. "Very." I went to take another sip of the beer but Matt grabbed it. "Hey!"

"What? It is my drink you stole." He said taking a sip.

"Aww, but I'm not even drunk yet." I pouted. He just laughed and I rolled my eyes. I noticed Jeremy walking off towards the woods following Tyler and Vicki. I frowned as I watched him, a jealous angry feeling bubbling in my stomach.

"What are you looking at?" Matt asked I looked away from Jeremy quickly hoping he didn't notice but it was too late, he looked over and saw Jeremy walking into the woods. He turned to me with a confused expression. "Why were you looking at Jeremy-no way do you like him?"

My eyes widened. "What! No! I was just-" He gave me a look. I sighed. "I don't know ok. I mean I think I might but I just met him yesterday and he's like in love with Vicki and why am I telling you this?"

He laughed. "Hey you're the one who said it not me. Lucky for you Vicki likes Tyler and don't worry I won't say anything."

I smiled. "Thanks Matt now gimme." I stole his drink again and decided I wouldn't tell him I think Vicki likes Jeremy too. I mean she is his sister and I don't want to ruin our….friendship? By accusing his sister of something that I'm only half sure she's doing. Yeah, it's best to just not say anything.

"Really? Again?" He laughed. "You're like a bird that takes shiny things except with beer."

I laughed and sipped the beer. "You're such a dork."

"Clara?" I froze. Crap. Turning around I saw an angry Stefan and an amused Elena. "Hey big bro, how's it goin?"

He gave me a look. "Really? I thought I said no drinking."

I rolled my eyes. "I only had a few sips and it's not even my beer, it's Matt's."

"Don't blame this on me." Matt said taking his beer out of my hand. "You stole it." I stuck my tongue out at him and he laughed. I also noticed the look Stefan and Elena gave us.

"Ok, ok so I stole his beer. My bad." I said. "But it's not like haven't drank before."

Stefan opened his mouth to retort then stopped. I smirked as if saying Ha! What now! And he just rolled his eyes. "Whatever, I don't want you drinking anymore."

I groaned. "Why! That's so not-" I stopped mid rant seeing a figure move through the crowd. The figure looked exactly like….

"Alice?"

"Whose Alice?" Elena asked. I wasn't paying attention though I was too focused on the figure as it or she ran into the woods.

"Not this again." Stefan sighed. "Clara, Alice died a long time ago."

"I gotta go." I replied not really paying attention as I moved towards the woods. Okay this is getting weird, first the grill and now here? I could have sworn it was her though….or I'm going crazy…can vampires go crazy? Ok I did not just ask that question. And now I'm talking to myself…yeah shutting up now.

Once I reached the edge of the clearing, I sped through the trees watching and listening to my surroundings. I heard Vicki yell at Jeremy for just wanting to screw her…..yeah I do not want to think about that. Where's Tyler anyway? I moved away from them determined to find this person when a dense fog crept towards me, licking at my ankles. Where did this come from? Suddenly I heard a loud caw and a crow flew by me landing on a nearby branch. What the hell? I saw a figure speed through the trees and my eyes widened. Is that Damon?

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

I gasped turning around as the smell of blood drifted towards my nose. Oh no. I ran as fast as I could following the scent when I reached it, my eyes went wide and another gasp slipped from my mouth. Vicki was laying on the ground, covered in blood. Blood that came pouring from the bite mark on her neck. Crap. Crap. Crap. Crap. I went to help her but stopped. The blood…it's too much. My eyes darkened. I could feel my fangs starting to slip out.

"Jeremy! Jeremy!" I froze at the sound of Elena's voice and to make matters worse Jeremy was walking this way. I can't let them see me this way. I ran trying to get as far away as I can so I could calm myself down. Once I was sure I was far enough away. I leaned against a tree and took a bunch of deep cleansing breaths. Once I was calm and my eyes and mouth turned back to normal I sped out of the woods trying to find Stefan. I had to tell him what I saw. I found him standing by the bonfire alone. I placed a hand on his shoulder. He turned to me confused and I opened my mouth to explain.

"Stefan, when I was out in the woods I think I saw Damon and he-"

"What!" Stefan whispered-yelled but before we could say anymore Jeremy walked out of the woods carrying Vicki. I watched him place her on top of a table. Jeremy yelled out it was Vicki causing everyone to surrounded them. Matt ran over freaked out and yelled at Bonnie to get him an ambulance. I felt the guilt flood through me as he checked Vicki over. Tyler yelled at everyone to back up. Elena was yelling something but I was half paying attention. Stefan and I gave each other worried looks. We looked back towards Vicki right when Matt looked up at us. He must have noticed our expressions because he looked at us confused. Stefan began to back up while grabbing my arm as everything began to click. I watched as Stefan's face turned from worry to horror. I frowned worried and scared myself. What if Damon tried to attack someone else. Like Matt or Jeremy! Everything felt like slow motion as Stefan grabbed my arm pulling us away from the group and we ran back to the house.

Stefan opened the door causing Zack, who was at his desk, to look up. "What's going on?"

"Someone else attacked tonight and it wasn't us." Stefan explained as we ran upstairs. I was about to go into my room but Stefan pulled me back and brought me to his room.

"Clara, we need to talk." Stefan said.

I sighed. "If this is about me running into the woods earlier, I know it was stupid idea."

Stefan sighed. "Alice is dead. There's nothing that can bring her back Clara, You know that right?"

I frowned sighing sadly. "I know….I just miss her and being back in this town where we grew up just reminds me of her….you know I walked right pass the spot where she died today…and I just had this feeling she was watching me."

"Clara you and Alice were like sisters." Stefan said placing his hands on my shoulders. "The bond has been heightened now that you're a vampire but you have to let her go. She's dead."

I gaped at him the tears threatening to spill from my cheeks. "How can you just forget about her! You loved her too!"

"Sometimes we have to let go of the people we used to love in order to move on Clara." Stefan explained.

I scoffed. "Oh like you moved on with Elena? SHE LOOKS JUST LIKE KATHERINE!"

He groaned. "She's not that same as Katherine! They may look the same but Katherine is gone! And so is Alice! You didn't see her, you just wished you did. But face it, the people we see and think we see are not always who we want them to be. And if you can see that Elena is nothing like Katherine, you'll learn to like her."

"I don't know." I said looking away.

Stefan sighed. "Clara-"

"I know Stefan." I said quietly. "Elena is not Katherine, I get that but every time I look at her it reminds me of Katherine. And when I think of Katherine I think of what she did to you and Damon, what she did to all of us. I just can't…." I exhaled trying to calm myself as a lot of old feelings flowed through me. Most of it was hurt and anger but I had to remember it was a long time ago.

He stared at me hurt and determination in his eyes. He opened his mouth to speak but before he could a crow flew into the room from Stefan's balcony and landed on a wooden beam. We looked at confused for a minute. What happened in the woods entered my mind and I stiffened especially when I felt a presence in the room. Stefan and I glanced at each other both knowing exactly who it was. We both turned and saw a man with dark brown hair and piercing ice blue eyes which both belonged to our dear older brother.

"Damon."

"Hello brother." Damon smirked, his eyes flickered to Stefan then to me. "Sister."

I stared at my older brother with a mixture of anger and happiness. I wanted to scream and hit him for attacking Vicki but cry and hug him because I missed him so much. It hurt me to see him stare at us like we we're barely friends, like we didn't even matter to him anymore.

"The crows a bit much don't you think?" Stefan said as the crow flew to the balcony rail and cawed.

"Wait until you see what I can do with the fog." Damon said.

"Oh I saw that." I frowned. "It was creepy."

Damon smirked. "Good."

"When'd you get here?" Stefan asked his face was emotionless. It scares me sometimes when I see how much they changed. They were best friends once and now….I don't even know what they are.

"Well I couldn't miss your guy's first day of school." Damon replied nonchalantly as he moved towards the bookshelf looking at the objects that were on it. He turned to Stefan. "Your hair looks different I like it." He looked at me. "Clara did you cut yours? I thought you liked your long hair?"

I rolled my eyes. "It's not that much shorter Damon, and it's been fifteen years."

"Thank god." Damon sighed in relief. "I couldn't take another day in the 90's, that horrible Grunge look did not suit you Stefan, however you always looked good baby sis, that's probably because you always had that knack for style, but I do prefer this look better." He laughed. "Remember, it's important to stay from fads."

"Why are you here?" Stefan demanded ignoring everything that he said.

"I missed my little brother and sister." Damon said turning to us with a fake smile that felt like a slap in the face. I didn't know if that was even true.

Stefan shook his head. "You hate small towns, it's boring. There's nothing for you to do."

Damon grinned deviously. "I've managed to keep myself busy." I scoffed, yeah by attacking Vicki and whoever else he decided to feed off of.

"You know you left that girl alive tonight, that's very clumsy of you." Stefan said. For some reason I didn't like how he called Vicki that girl but I knew why he did it. He didn't want Damon to figure out who we know in this town, it would give Damon a better reason to attack them. I also didn't like that Stefan was right. Damon didn't kill Vicki, which meant he was up to something.

"Ah, That could be a problem…."He smirked. "For you."

"You attacked her so we can clean the mess you made? Really?" I was ready to hit him especially when all he did was shrug and grin.

"Why are you here now?" Stefan demanded again.

"I could ask you the same question." Damon mused. "However brother, I'm fairly certain your answer could be all summed up in one little word….Elena." He smirked. My eyes darted from Damon to Stefan. I could see his features harden worry and anger etched in his eyes. I looked back at Damon to see he was grinning which meant he can see it too. "Took my breath away, Elena, she's a dead ringer for Katherine." Stefan didn't speak he just stared at Damon as if waiting for his next move. "Is it working Stefan? Being around her? Being in her world? Does it make you feel alive?"

"She's not Katherine." Stefan said.

"Well let's hope not, we all know how that ended." Damon said. "Tell me something, when was the last time you had something stronger than a squirrel."

"I know what you're doing Damon, and it's not going to work." Stefan replied shaking his head.

"Don't do this Damon." I pleaded. I knew what he was doing too and I know if Damon pushed too far it would end badly. "Please."

Damon ignored me and shoved Stefan. "Come on, Don't you crave a little."

"Stop it." Stefan said turning away.

"Let's do it." Damon said shoving him again. "All of us, I saw a couple people out there or let's just cut to the chase, let's just go straight to Elena." Damon kept on shoving him and Stefan kept on getting angrier. Damon turned to me with a mischievous grin. "Ooh and what about her little brother…Jeremy." My eyes widened in horror.

"No!" I yelled.

"Stop it!" Stefan growled pushing Damon away. Stefan then turned around trying to walk away but I just found myself frozen to the floor my emotions were reeling, I tried to control them but Damon wasn't making this easy. Just the thought of him attacking Jeremy, Matt or even Elena made my skin crawl and my heart pound.

"Imagine what their blood tastes like." Damon yelled. "I can." The memory of Jeremy and I talking at the park flowed through my mind along with the smell of his blood. My eyes darkened and my fangs were extending. It smelled so good and I bet it-No! Snap out of it Clara.

"I said stop!" My head snapped up to see glass shattering and the bodies of my two brothers fly out the window. I gasped and quickly sped to the window and jumped out of it. I landed perfectly on my feet and ran to Stefan who was covered in glass and groaning in pain as he lay on the ground. I helped him up brushing any glass as I did. We were both standing when we heard clapping coming from Damon who was standing by watching us.

"I was impressed. I give it a 6. Missing style but was pleasantly surprised." Damon grinned. "Very good with the whole face rawr rawr thing." He laughed. "It was good."

"What the hell is wrong with you Damon?" I yelled furious.

Stefan frowned. "You know it's all fun and games huh, but wherever you go people die."

"That's given." Damon agreed as if it were obvious.

Stefan shook his head. "Not here, I won't allow it."

I nodded. "You've hurt too many people already. We won't let you hurt anymore."

He eyed us his smirk never leaving. "I take that as an invitation."

"Damon please." I begged. "After all these years, can't we just give it a rest?"

Damon walked closer to us. "I promised Stefan, an eternity of misery, so I'm just keeping my word."

"Stay away from Elena." Stefan pleaded with hurt in his words and on his face.

"And Jeremy." I added.

Damon narrowed his eyes at me then turned to Stefan. "Where's your ring?" Stefan and I looked at his finger where his lapis lazuli ring should have been but it wasn't there. My eyes widened in horror as I looked up at Damon. "Sun's coming back up in a couple hours and poof ashes to ashes."

Stefan didn't speak but the hurt worried look stayed on his face. I placed my hand on my own lapis lazuli necklace just to be sure.

"Give it back, Damon." I warned. I knew he had it, but would he give it back? He had to no matter how much he hated Stefan he wouldn't kill him. I know it.

"Relax." Damon laughed walking over to us and holding out his hand. "It's right here."

Slow and unsure Stefan took the ring from our brother's hand and slid it back on his finger. The second it was on Damon pushed me away and grabbed Stefan by the neck choking him. I fell onto the floor with a hard thud.

"Damon! Stop!" I yelled standing up unfazed by the fall but he had already flung Stefan into a nearby gate. I gasped as Stefan hit it hard and rolled onto the floor.

Damon walked up to him. "You should know better than to think you're stronger than me. You lost that fight when you stopped feeding on people. I wouldn't try it again." I narrowed my eyes at him but didn't speak I just went to Stefan and helped him up again.

"I think we woke Zack up." Damon suddenly said causing us to look up at him. "Sorry Zack." With that Damon started heading back towards our house. I sighed, things were going to get a lot worse. I could feel it.
