Chapter 4

Fire Dolphin : You will see who Iris's father is by the end of the first season but it is still unclear even to me.

yorushihe : Thanks and yes you are right Iris still has her magic only she doesn't like to use it in her everyday life (She thinks that using Magic to do laundry is cheating). In this chapter she deals with the watch at least how she can be undetected by it.

kvdsouza : Thanks but I already have one...

Fae0306 : Thanks.

bookfreak25 : Thanks.

Haruka-Lin-Sama : I honestly think it was just a matter of time before the Salvatore's brothers would have found out her secret, but don't worry Elena won't know about Iris until the end of season one, until the she would just be the Salvatore council member.

salllzy : Thanks and Her father is an Original (I like them especially Elijah).

ptl4ever419 : Thanks.

Guest : Thanks.

Loving-The-Originals : You are absolutely right in your theories as of right know Iris's father could be Klaus, Elijah or Mikael (The three undaggered Male Originals at the time) though there is very little chance for Mikael to be her father as I don't like how he treats his children in the show, I don't think Lily could have slept with him even drunk.

Guest : Thanks.

Silvername1 : Thanks.

Guest : Thanks and while the plot from season 1 won't change much (The vampires in the tomb will still be freed and so on) there will be little change more like some character not dying like Zach or other hings like that. The real change will happen for the seasons 2 and 3.

Flashback

Previously

"Good, now I will go home and I better not hear anything about Vicky or I will take care of the problem, and you don't want me taking care of your problem." threatened the young vampire before leaving to sleep her anger off.

Now

-Parking lot-

Damon and Stefan under Iris orders looked for Vicky in order to clean up their mess as she called it, they found the freshly turned vampire in Tyler Lockwood's car about to drink from him.

Stefan kept the freshly turned vampire from her would be victim and Damon compelled Tyler to forget about everything that happened on the parking lot of the stage.

-Salvatore's Boarding House-

After frog marching Vicky to their house the Salvatore brothers tried to educate her in the Vampire way of life.

Stefan tried to convert her in his animal drinking way, but sadly as Vicky was a former drug user she hasn't the right way of thinking about this.

"Say how come Iris was a vampire Damon because if I remember right she killed Logan Fell to save me." said Stefan to his brother.

The older Salvatore brother would have wanted to discuss it with his brother but sadly Iris compelling was stronger than Damon's will so the older vampire stayed silent.

"Since you aren't able to talk I am guessing you are under some kind of spell or compulsion... Nah you can't be compelled." said Stefan to his mute brother who looked quite angry to not be able to talk freely.

"How come you are afraid of Miss Salvatore?" asked Vicky as she hard Stefan talk to the mute Damon.

"I don't think Iris is fully human..." said Stefan not wanting to tell Iris' secret.

"How come on I know she is a vampire, remember she is the one that killed the guy whose blood I drank to turn, so don't play me like a fool and tell me why you are so scared of her." said Vicky as she felt that something the Salvatore brothers were afraid of was worth knowing.

-Iris home-

The vampire mother came back exhausted thanks to the emotion she felt last night when Vicky turned.

The young vampire looked at the watch she took from Logan Fell's hands, it seemed to be some king of pocket watch, she recalled seeing it when she was in Elena's home before the Founder Party. It seemed to be a Gilbert watch, that was somehow able to detect vampires, she decided to hold onto it for a little while to study the enchantments done on it.

-The following day Mystic Grill-

Iris had a meeting with the mayor and his wife at the Mystic Grill.

When she arrived she noticed Damon at the bar, most likely to listen to what they will say.

"We should never have trusted that Logan Fell with the watch, look at where we are no watch and no Fell." stated the mayor looking angry.

"So It could know about us, we could be in danger, is it a he or a she anyway and how many are there?" asked Carol Lockwood the mayor's wife and Tyler's Mother.

"According to the Legist there was only one based on the wounds from the bodies, and if it found the watch it may know about us so yes we could be in danger, that's where you, Salvatore, come in and hand us Vervain to protect ourselves as best as we could." replied the mayor.

"I understand How much do you need?" asked the Salvatore council member.

"Enough for the council, our family and some important town people." said Mayor Lockwood to his fellow council member.

"Ok I'll bring you the plants as soon as I can." said Iris leaving the grill to head back home.

Damon also left to head back to his home.

-That night Salvatore's boarding house -

Taking advantage of the night Damon tried to teach Vicky something and he really shouldn't have started with : speed, because the girls gave him the slip, so the two vampires went on another search for a new born vampira across the town.

'I really hope Vicky doesn't kill anybody I don't think the girl will support it and Iris will take care of her and I really don't want to know how.' though the youngest Salvatore brother as he searched the town for the new born vampire.

-The next day, Halloween day Iris home-

It was Halloween day and Iris was feeling like crap, like every Halloween she ever had since her mother and step father were killed by Voldemort.

Iris had every intention to stay at home but two things made her change her mind, first Teddy asked her to celebrate Halloween with him, and second the principal asked her to watch the party the highschooler launched on Halloween every year.

So Iris dig up a cute little wolf costume for Teddy to wear tonight and for herself she hesitated between a witch costume or a vampire one.

After deciding to dress as a vampire wearing a witch hat, she took Teddy for a little trick or treating at the grill.

-Mystic Grill-

There she saw Damon and the Lockwoods.

As the mayor left, his wife went to talk with Iris and Teddy.

"My what a cute little wolf." said Mrs. Lockwood as she gazed at Teddy's costume.

"Am not cute, Am fearsome." said Teddy with all his five years old boy's might.

"Oh my yes you are, I must go or my husband will go crazy, take care Miss Salvatore." said Carol Lockwood as she left to find her Husband before he could grow too jealous.

Damon waited that the Lockwoods left to approach Iris and her son.

"So Is that the youngest Salvatore?" asked Damon having not be formally introduced to Teddy.

"Am not young, You are old." stated Teddy while he stuck his tongue at Damon.

Damon looked offended and Iris chuckled at her son antics.

"So why aren't you happy? Cute costume by the way." asked a curious Damon.

"My mother was murdered on Halloween." deadpanned Iris as Damon had the decency to look contrite.

"Sorry."

"It's okay you didn't know, before I leave how it is going with your student?" asked the vampire woman.

"Ah Not very good it seems she snuck out off the boarding house when we trained her in speed." said Damon.

"If I Hear Anything about a body drained off blood, I will assume it is her doing and deal with her myself is that clear." threatened Iris whispering in the older Salvatore's ear before leaving with her son.

-Halloween Party-

After having dropped her son at her house with Kreacher watching him, Iris went at the Halloween party.

Once there she saw, Elena and Matt, apparently looking for Vicky, feeling as if something bad was going to happen Iris went to the parking lot, focused as she was she didn't notice Elena following her.

In the parking lot she saw Vicky dressed as a vampire and Jeremy dressed as himself making out inside a car.

Iris knew that Vicky wasn't ready, unlike herself Vicky wasn't born that way and as such didn't have the natural instincts that allowed the hybrid to act like she was an older vampire than she really was.

So what was supposed to happen happened and Vicky slipped up and bit Jeremy in the neck feeding from the startled teen.

Several things happened at once, Elena let out a gasp at seeing her brother being attacked by Vicky, the vampire turned from her meal, snarled and lunged at Elena.

Elena closed her eyes thinking her life to be over, but as the blow never came she opened her eyes and saw a wooden spike speared through Vicky's heart, sending the very young vampire into true death.

"Iris?!" said Elena in shock at seeing the counselor standing over Vicky's dead body.

"Elena, you don't seem shocked about what happened?" said Iris playing the role of the council member.

"Wha...What?!"

"Could it be because you already knew about vampires? Bah No matter take your brother and go home, I will deal with this." stated Iris as Elena followed her advice and left with her brother.

When Elena and Jeremy left, Stefan and Damon gathered over Vicky's dead body.

"What now do we dispose of the body?" asked Stefan.

"No, I will use this to go deeper in the council, as an actual vampire killer they will be more trusting of me, therefore I will know what they plan to do and will be able to warn you in time, provided neither of you does anything that could bring suspicion about another vampire in town. That means that Damon will now drink from bloodbag that I will provide." said Iris.

"Are you sure what will you tell the council." asked Damon not liking Iris' plan.

"I will tell them that Vicky Donovan was turned into a vampire recently and that as she was acting her maker probably bailed town otherwise he would have at least taught her some things." stated the hybrid "I told you I would clean up your mess if you didn't."

"Fine!"

"I like this plan, that will lower suspicion from the council about us." said Stefan.

"Yes and it is a good thing because as of now the council still believe we can only go out at night, something that innocented us as we were all seen outside during the day, now if that continued the council would have suspected we could go out during the day so it is a good thing, now go I have to call sheriff Forbes." said the Salvatore council member as she took out her phone.

The Salvatore brothers left Iris execute her plan and left for Elena's.

"Sheriff Forbes." said the voice of Caroline's mother from Iris phone.

"Sheriff, Iris Salvatore, You should come to the Halloween Party's Parking Lot Now, I just staked a vampire that fed from Elena and Jeremy Gilbert." said Iris in false panicked voice.

"On my way!" said the Sheriff.

-A few minutes later-

The Sheriff looked at Vicky Donnovan's dead body that still had the stake through her heart, she shook her head sadly at the thought of how it could have been her daughter that was turned like this.

"What will we tell the people about what happened, they will notice that Vicky disappeared from town?" wondered the Sheriff.

"I thought about something, as she was a druggie we could always say that she left town or to give her brother closure we could always say that she overdosed." said Iris.

"How did it happen?" asked The sheriff who seemed willing to go with the overdose cover story.

"When I went to the party, I saw Vicky and Jeremy sneaking off with Elena following them, I first thought that they went here to take something as they have reputation of being drug users , and I think Elena was thinking the same thing but when I came here I saw Vicky feeding from Jeremy, Elena gasped catching her attention allowing me to stake her." explained Iris.

"Who the hell could have turned her?"

"I don't know but I think he bailed, as Vicky seemed to be pretty knew as she wasn't using all her advantages leading me to believe that her sire or maker or whatever you want to call that thing didn't stay long enough to teach her what she needed." said the hybrid.

"You can go home but be sure to talk to Elena to make sure she won't babble to Matt."

"I intended to do that anyway."

-Gilbert's home-

Jeremy was still in shock and his sister didn't like to see him that way , however this time she had someone that could make all of her brother's pain go away.

As she went out she saw Stefan his back against the wall, looking at her.

"Please make him forget, I know you can." pleaded Elena.

"I don't think I can due to how I feed, He could very well not take to my compulsion." explained Stefan as he really didn't want to compel someone for the sake of compelling.

"But I can." said Damon approaching from the street.

"Damon why would you do that?" asked Elena curious as to why Stefan's less than helpful brother suddenly was so nice.

"Because he needs to forget so we don't get caught." explained the older Salvatore Brother.

"So what do you want me to say to him?" asked Damon.

"Anything just make him forget that she attacked him, that he never saw her at the Halloween party." said the black haired girl.

With that Damon went inside and compelled the youngest Gilbert to forget he ever saw Vicky at the Halloween party and that therefore he shouldn't be in pain.

-The following day-

Iris came to the Gilbert's home to talk to Elena and Jeremy about what happened last night with Vicky, luckily for the hybrid her godmother wasn't in the house by the time she came in.

"Elena, I know you know what happened last night, but the official story will be that Vicky overdosed, so I hope that when the sheriff will ask you to give your statement you will say that you saw Vicky dying from drugs overdosed instead of a stake in the heart." said Iris.

"O...Kay I guess I can manage that, but Jeremy is in shock he doesn't remember anything about Vicky since she first disappeared." said Elena making Iris frown as while it was understandable that the teen was in shock from what happened to him it was very strange that he only forgot Vicky's presence at the party.

"Let me talk to him maybe I will be able to help him." proposed the counselor.

"Thanks but no thanks, I don't want him to remember." said Elena trying to hide the fact that her brother was compelled.

"Fair enough but be aware that he could very well remember on his own." said Iris just as Jeremy made his way downstairs.

"Ah Miss Salvatore what are you doing here?" asked the shocked teen as seeing the counselor in his home but still pleased to see her if the blushed cheeks were an indicator.

"Please Jeremy it is Iris, Miss Salvatore makes me sound older than I am actually, but I was hoping to talk to you about how were you feeling." said Iris ignoring Elena shaking her head no.

"I am feeling good, better than I thought I would be, considering that Vicky is missing." said Jeremy who still thought Vicky to be missing.

"I see..." said the counselor frowning "Well then don't be surprised if the Sheriff ask you to come and see her."

With that Iris left the Gilbert's home ready to tear into the a** of the Salvatore brother stupid enough to compel Jeremy.

-Salvatore's boarding house-

Everything was calm in the Salvatore boarding house until a furious redhead burst into the house roaring "Stefan! Damon! Wich one of you stupid idiots did it!"

"Easy there Tiger...Wait a minute you aren't Lily?!" said a feminine voice in disbelief effectively stopping Iris from tearing the house apart at hearing her mother's name.

"Who?..." was the only thing the flabbergasted Hybrid could say to the blonde woman that appeared from upstairs.

The Stefan appeared having heard Iris's roar and looked from the shocked hybrid to the equally shocked blonde vampire "You two know each other?" said the Salvatore with no small amount of dread.

"No I knew a Lily that looked like her and with a temper as hot as hers but Her I don't know." answered the blonde vampire making Stefan sigh in relief.

"Ok Iris this is Lexi my oldest friend, Lexi This is Iris Salvatore my niece I guess." said Stefan introducing the two girls.

"You have living family?!" asked Lexi who as far as she knew Stefan's only family was Damon.

"Yes there is Zach Iris's uncle currently out of town and there is Iris but Iris is a vampire." explained Stefan to his vampire friend.

Iris shook her head to recenter herself and asked to the blonde "How do you know my mother's name?"

"Lily? I met her in a bar in Atlanta, so How come you have the Salvatore's name Are you adopted?" asked Lexi who only knew Lily by her first name.

"Huh My mother was Zach's sister as she didn't know my father's name I took hers instead." answered Iris.

Lexi seemed sad when she heard that her friend Lily was dead but happy to meet her friend's daughter, then she realized that the friend she met in Bree's bar years ago was related to Stefan and she didn't know it.

Iris seemed to remember why she came here in the first place, she grabbed Stefan by the ear and slowly said "So whose Idea was it to compel Jeremy huh?"

Slightly afraid Stefan said that it was Damon that did it since due to his choice of food he couldn't do it himself.

Iris sighed and put her head in her palms, while Lexi choose this moment to eat, she proposed to Stefan and Iris to share only the latter gladly accepted.

When Damon came in the Living room, Lexi and Iris were slurping their blood talking about the latter's mother and Stefan's 162 birthday.

Sheriff Forbes called Iris to tell her to come to the interview as she officially was a witness and needed to deposit her statement.

The hybrid decided to use that chance to give the sheriff the vervain she promised to deliver.

-Sheriff's office-

Jeremy, Elena and Her were interviewed as witness, Vicky's brother Matt was interviewed as well to maintain appearances as the Sheriff tried to see if there was any sign that could have told of Vicky's condition.

Fortunately all the statements told was that Vicky was strange since she came back from where the hell she was and that it could go well with the cover story of the drug overdose.

While seeing Jeremy, Sheriff Forbes, like Iris earlier got suspicious when she saw that Jeremy didn't remember anything about his attack.

Iris convinced the woman it was for the best while glancing at Elena with a look that clearly said I know what you did.

After the statements were given, Iris stayed in the office to give the sheriff the vervain.

"Here is all the vervain we have at the moment Sheriff." said Iris handing the woman the package.

"Thanks but I thought of something, how can we be sure that the one that sired Vicky Donnovan really left the town, what if they could hide in plain sight, what if they could walk in the day light?" wondered the sheriff.

"Because from what I know of vampires a new born must be taught how to survive by their creator or if that one is dead or unavailable, any older vampire must teach the younger vampire how to survive and how to avoid discovery. Vampires aren't stupid Sheriff they know that if a large number of human know about them we could very well hunt them down to extinction. They have to stay hidden for survival. This is why I believe the vampire that turned Vicky Donnovan left town." explained Iris trying her best to convince Caroline's mother that Day walkers couldn't exist.

"I guess so..." said the sheriff.

Iris then left the office to go prepare for Stefan Birthday party.

-Mystic Grill Stefan's birthday-

The party for Stefan's birthday surprisingly launched by Caroline Forbes was going well except that Damon and Lexi didn't like each other thanks to the former having a diabolical plan, Elena was jealous of Lexi and Stefan's closeness and Carline was drunk and feeling worthless.

Iris went to talk to Lexi as she was the only person to see her mother outside of Mystic Falls, so the hybrid thought that maybe the blond could tell her who her father was.

"So Lexi can you tell me how you met my mother?" asked Iris to the blonde vampire.

"Sure, I met her in Atlanta some 23 years ago I think...We became drinking buddies then friends while she was in Georgia." explained Lexi "But you must know that I don't know who your father could be, cause as far as I know vampire can't reproduce."

"Thanks I hope that someday I will meet him..." sighed Iris.

"If it is really that much important to you I could help you look for information about him, meet me in Atlanta in Bree's bar in a few days. It will allow me to get back from New York, where I will go to a Bon Jovi concert." said Lexi.

After that Iris went home when the party was over, Lexi left town to go to her concert without being able to convince Stefan to go with her.

-Iris Home-

The hybrid finally made a discovery about the watch/ vampires compass, she found a rune that will allow her to be unnoticed by the watch, at first she thought about simply destroying it but the advantage of being able to detect any new vampire in town was too good to be true.

The only thing she needed was something to carve the runic array into, it couldn't be clothes as she wouldn't wear the same clothes every day and jewelry would interfere with this particular array so the only option left was on her skin. 'Super I have to get a Tattoo'

So with the runic array on paper the hybrid went to get someone to tattoo it on her back, she found a nice artist willing to do it, and so the only thing left to do was to field test it.

But she had to go to work, as it seemed a new history teacher finally got hired a teacher by the name of Alaric Saltzman.

-High school Iris's office-

The counselor honestly thought someone would have complained about the new history teacher but it seemed she was mistaken as everyone seemed to be happy with this Alaric Saltzman.

But then a person Iris honestly didn't think would ever come to see her stood in front of her.

"Miss Bennet what can I do for you?" asked the startled counselor.

"Can you give me something to sleep?" asked the dark skinned student.

"You have trouble sleeping? Are you stressed with school work lately?" asked the counselor trying to solve the girl's problem.

"No No I have no problem at school, I just have trouble sleeping lately, I even fell asleep in class." answered Bonnie.

"Tell me about it maybe I can help." proposed Iris.

"Well I had this recurring dream lately about an ancestor of mine called Emily, in my dream she kept asking me to help her but how can I she is dead." said Bonnie.

"Dream interpretation can be tricky but if your ancestor ask you to help her maybe you should help her." proposed Iris to wich Bonnie replied that she will think about it.

After that the girl left her office and Iris was surprised to see someone she didn't know by her office's door.

"Hi I am Alaric Saltzman, the new history teacher, as I understand you are the school counselor, is there something I should be aware off?" asked the new teacher.

"No is there something I should know about?"

"Not if you want to be bored out of your mind, ah yes were you aware of Jeremy Gilbert's problem?"

"Yes I tried to help him and his sister since I came here, but I am afraid that I couldn't help someone who didn't want my help."

"Maybe you should try again, he seemed eager to do better on his school work as he accepted to do something for extra credits." said Alaric before leaving the counselor's office.

Iris decided to go to the Gilbert's house tonight to see the teenager.

-The evening Gilbert's house-

Iris once her day of work was over went to the Gilbert's house with her son in the hope to see Jeremy but only Jenna was here.

So the vampire talked with her Godmother who seemed fond of her nephew's history teacher after Iris teased her godmother for it, they were interrupted by the bell.

Jenna went to answer and after a while, came back looking quite upset.

"So Who was it?" asked Iris looking at her godmother's expression.

"It was that scum Logan Fell, that no good worthless shit tried to get me to invite him in as if I would after what he did to me." answered Jenna who seemed to vent her anger about Logan.

"You did good that man should beg on his knees for your forgiveness!" said Iris but she thought 'What the hell I am pretty sure I killed him, Wait a minute he asked Jenna to invite him in, Oh Hell no he had vampire blood in his system, just my luck...'

"It was nice talking to you Jenna but I have to go would you tell Jeremy to come see me at school please?" said Iris before she left to hunt the Logan Vampire.

To be continued...

Next time More Badass Iris as she will hunt Logan, will go to Atlanta to learn more about her mother and will try to stop the opening of the tomb.
