As I mentioned before, my story line is rather different to that of the show, for example, if I put Katherine in the story right now, the whole thing would be shot to hell! Soooo! Just a prior warning that this Founders day will NOT be the one you have seen on television.
Here's the differences I know of so far:
No Katherine… yet.
Anna's alive cause I didn't like that she died. (Cause she's awesome =])
The device is completely different.
Bonnie, as you know, is still okay with vampires.
John is still alive.
Damon is not in the fire, that happens at the same time as something I'm writing.
Damon doesn't kiss Elena/Katherine!- It would break Kayes poor little heart!
No Jeremy suicide.
The fireworks hold no special significance.
Hope you don't mind too much!
Please keep reviewing and a huge thank you to everybody who has put me on alerts and favourites. It makes me feel great =] Thank you! Xx

A/N- Ive edited this one, Thanks to Rose, who pointed out something that I forgot to add which was in my notes and an important part!
Kaye's P.O.V
"So you stayed at the boarding house?" Elena asked for what had to be the fifth time, "With Damon?"
"Yes." I said exasperatedly as I attempted to stick yet more white tissue like paper to the huge float ahead of us which was nowhere near finished with only an hour or two to go before the big parade. "Well at least we got the Battle of Willow Creek float finished!" Bonnie said cheerfully, glancing over the grey and black paint that covered our old clothes, then glancing back to the Miss Mystic Falls float we were currently working on.
"We have to get this finished too!" Caroline whined from the other side of the float, "We cant be driven through town with half a float! That would be so embarrassing!"
"We'll get it done Caroline." Elena said, having forgotten all about her previous questioning of my night. She was now staring absentmindedly at Stefan who was a few feet away from us, climbing a huge ladder that was placed against a tree, a long line of decorative lights held in one of his hands. "Do you ever wish Damon was more like Stefan?" she whispered, picking up some bundles of white paper herself and slowly gluing it to the float, eyes on me.
"I don't know." I frowned as I dripped glue down my palm and wrist, wiping it on my paint covered jeans, "I guess sometimes I do, but there isn't really anything going on between us. Not really." I kept my voice low so only Bonnie and Elena could hear on this side of the float, Caroline, who was humming to herself n the other side was unaware of anything since her own run in with the elder Salvatore brother. "But then I guess if he was more like Stefan then he would never have bitten me and.." I paused and both Bonnie and Elena said, "And what?"
I grinned, "and, I think somehow, that would have been worse."
"Aww!" Bonnie cooed, grinning at the large are she had just completed, "That's cute."
"Shut up!" I laughed, throwing a bundle of the tissue paper in her direction.
"Be careful Kaye." Elena said gently, "Just, be careful."
"I am, Elena. Besides. Like I said, nothings going on, not really. I think he just wants a friend."
"Yeah a pretty little blonde friend." she grinned before shouting towards Stefan who was now admiring how he had hung the lights in the tree, grinning with Matt and Tyler who had helped, "Stefan! Get your ass over here and help us!"
We watched as Matt and Tyler laughed and slapped his back, grinning when Caroline screeched, "You guys too! You're not getting away with it!"
"You know," I grinned, as the three dawdled towards us, "ignoring the fact that there are vampires after us, I think today will be a good day."
It took less than an hour and a half to complete the Miss Mystic falls float with three more pairs of hands at the ready and once we were finished it looked beautiful, fit for a queen as Stefan had said. The roses, white and red, made the final touch, scattered around and encased in parts of the float. Elena's dress was flowing and her hair curled and she looked stunning stood in front of Stefan as the float cruised past, Caroline, looking beautiful, she grinned and waved, beaming as they called her name as Miss Mystic Falls. Matt, the handsome prince behind her. "We did a good job!" Bonnie grinned as the float stopped in front of us and the occupants, our friends and two other couples form the school, continued to wave, grinning quite manically. I felt a body step up beside mine and grinned as Damon waggled his fingers in Elenas direction, a smirk crawling across his face, Bonnie chuckled and used a hand to cover her smiling mouth from Elenas view, who in response had turned to Stefan and rolled her eyes.
"Nice float." Damon said dryly, swinging his eyes down to mine.
"Thank you." I grinned.
"So this is the reason you left so early this morning?" I cringed, and nodded mutely, remembering how I had snuck out of the boarding house at seven that morning, leaving Damon sleeping on the sofa which he had taken after insisting, in what I though to be a very gentlemanly manner and probably completely out of character for him, that I take his bed.
"Yeah." I whispered, "I'm sorry" I smiled to Elena and Caroline as the float started up again nearing the parades end, and the crowd started to mill around, after all the Miss Mystic Falls was the last float. "I promised them I would help."
"So there's vampires after you but you feel its more important to decorate some stupid floats?" he asked, his voice was calm and he hadn't moved position.
"I'm sorry, you looked peaceful, I didn't want to wake you." I replied, softly squeezing his hand.
"Yeah well." he grumbled, "Your dads looking for you. He's over there." he pointed towards a big crowd where I thought I could see my dad milling his way through.
"It still creeps me out when you do that." I mumbled, "I'll see you later?"
"Sure."
I pushed through the crowd towards my dad who was grinning widely, "The floats were fantastic!" he gushed, hugging me close, "I bet your knackered! You've been doing it all day! How was Bonnies by the way?" I guessed Damon must have text him from my phone last night or something.
"No, I'm okay!" I laughed, we were both talking louder, to make our voices heard over the humdrum of the crowds. "Are you having fun?" I asked him.
"Yes, it's, uh, different than I thought it might be! More, uh, yeah its good!"
I laughed, glad he was enjoying himself, even if he couldn't put it into words himself.
"Kaye, I'm going to go and find the guys from work okay, come find me later?"
"Sure dad, I'm going to find a bathroom." I took a few steps before turning back to him and grinning, "Don't get too drunk!"
He winked before heading off into the crowd and I continued on my path towards one of the small café's. Once I'd used the bathroom I decided to find Elena and Stefan who would more than likely be with the others now, no longer confined to the float. As I stepped back into the street, I felt a shoulder on my hand, yanking me back roughly into the alley next to the café, a cloth covered my nose and mouth and a sweet scent filled my nose. My vision blurred as I struggled against the arms around my torso. And finally, maybe from lack of air, or maybe it was the stuff on the cloth, I passed out.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
My head hurt and my eyes were watering. Those were the first things I noticed, then as I made to stretch my arms and legs against the hard surface I rested on, I realised that I was tied to something. With rope no less. I groaned, straining against the binds as I glanced around me, I recognised the living room that I sat in as Elena's. "What the hell?" I whispered, struggling on the chair again. What the hell was this? Was it some kind of Founders day tradition to play a prank on someone. Who was behind this? And was it really necessary to have knocked me out? I heard movement behind me and said, "Elena? Jeremy? Guys? What the hell is going on?" I tried to twist around, grimacing as my spine strained against the wooden chair I was sat on, probably one of the ones that belonged in the kitchen.
"Guys? What are we in some kind of movie? What is going on? Elena, this isn't funny!"
"Elena is still out."
"John?" I gasped, "What are you doing?" My eyes followed him as he came around and stood before me, hands clasped together in front of him in his usual stance.
"Keeping you safe kid." he said in a tone that said I should have known the answer.
"Safe from what?" I groaned, "This is kidnapping you know."
"This." he said, holding up what looked like a rifle, only instead of bullets the casing covered what looked like small vials of a clear liquid. He ran his hands over the gun, a small smile on his thin lips.
"What is that?" I asked, taking the bait. "What's in those vials?"
"It's a tranquilizer. You shoot this into a human, it does nothing. But you shoot it into a vampire and Boom!" I jumped in my limited position as he raised his voice to emphasize the Boom. "They're completely paralysed. We've tested it you know, it lasts a long time, plenty time enough for the council and I to round up each and every vampire and burn them up."
"Why?" I asked, imagining the repercussions, anything could happen, people could be hurt, Damon and Stefan could be hurt. "You could hurt someone."
"We plan to." he grinned, "Each and every vampire, including the Salvatore brothers. Which is why you are here. We already worked out a way to distract Elena but you, I'm the only one who knows about you."
"You don't know anything. There's nothing to know."
"Then look at it as a precaution." he smiled.
"But you don't know half of the vampires!" I cried, "You could get it wrong."
"Nope." he grinned smugly, making me want to punch his stupid face, "You see, we've done our research. There's Pearl, Anna, Frederick, the Salvatores and many more. We know what we're doing. I'm going to go round up the animals now."
"John!" I cried as he made his way towards the exit, "John! You cant do this! Let me go! Dammit! Let me out of here!" The door closed behind him with a thud, leaving me alone with my cries and everybody too busy to notice that I was missing and a weapon in his hands, firmly aimed towards vampires, namely the Salvatores.
Damon's P.O.V
I didn't tell the others why I left the group, not only were Caroline and Bonnie's girlish squeals irritating me to the point that I wanted to hit them both, but Elenas dress made her look painstakingly like Katherine. Also, Stefan and I had the suspicion that something was being planned tonight. Whether that be by the tomb vampires or the council and John Gilbert, we weren't sure. The other thing, was that I had seen Kayes father numerous times and no sign of Kaye herself which had annoyed me more than it should have. The sun had set hours ago and the fire works were scheduled to start soon but I wasn't really interested in seeing them, being immortal meant that I had pretty much watched the development of things like fireworks and technology, they didn't hold much interest for me these days. It was late and it wouldn't be long until morning.
As I made my way through the trees towards the boarding house, on high alert for sounds of distress far away, back in the celebration, or a phone call from Stefan that indicated trouble. It was because of this high alert that I noticed the scent, masked in some kind of strong cologne, but familiar nonetheless. "John." I said, rolling my eyes, and turning in the direction of where he stood. It was as I turned, that it hit me, square in the chest. In mere seconds I felt the liquid inside taking effect, my legs began to feel weak, as the liquid swirled around my unbeating heart and through my blood stream. My throat began to feel hoarse and my arms heavy, I couldn't stop myself from tumbling to the floor like a rag doll, not necessarily paralysed but heavy limbed, unable to move. I groaned as my insides began to burn. "What the hell is this?" I asked, and my voice came out more as a whisper than anything else.
"This," he indicated the small glass vial still pierced into my chest as he leaned over me and pulled it from my skin, earning an accidental grunt of pain from myself, "Is what is going to rid this place of vampires once and for all. Each member of the council has one of these," he raised the gun, "and right now, they're taking them out one by one."
I growled, earning a grin. I was going to kill the bastard.
"I earned a similar reaction from Kaye." he mused and I growled again, "Oh she's fine." he laughed, "She's out of harms way, I'll let her go tomorrow morning when this is all over."
I felt a bigger feeling of relief than I should have, which worried me a little, though my mind was a little preoccupied with my impending death. At least she was safe.
I groaned as the heat inside my body worsened, gasping at the pain, "Does it hurt?" John grinned, "We made this in the council you know, I'm surprised you didn't hear about it, of course, we didn't tell the sheriff either, or most of the council for that matter. This completely emancipates a vampire, so we can round you all up and burn you all later tonight. Isn't that nice?" The smugness in his voice angered me, made me want to jump on him and rip his head from his body, but I couldn't move, let alone attack him. "It'll probably hurt a little more for you though," John grinned, "I saved this one especially for you, there's a little more of everything inside. Because I've got a different plan for you." I narrowed my eyes, "You're gonna stay here, all night, and you're going to burn alone. Your brother will be with the others in the fire, nice and quick, but you are gonna steam, because you piss me off. You're going to meet the sun." I growled again and this time he was full out laughing at me, he pulled a steak, with a wicked looking point from his pocket and slammed it down into my chest, an inch or two from my heart, I cried out in agony as I realised that the tranquiliser inside me was also inhibiting the advanced healing process of my body and I continued to bleed around the weapon. "You didn't think I'd let you go this easy did you?" he asked, as my eyes met his, then he did the thing I had hoped he would have forgotten, he lifted my hand and wrenched my ring from my finger.
"You have about, hmmm," he checked his watch, straightening himself "Two hours until the sun starts rising, that'll be about the time you start to steam, then after that I'd say another hour? Good luck Damon, I really hope its quick."
