Kaye's P.O.V

"So Bonnie spelled my ring for me." Caroline said happily, tilting her face to the sun with a smile, "Last night obviously. I think she realised that even though she doesn't like vampires I'm still her friend and it's pretty difficult to stay out of the sunlight all the time."

"How are you doing anyway?" I asked, pushing back the sadness at the mention of Bonnie, I hadn't seen her since the night of the carnival and her attack on Damon, she hadn't left her home much apparently, except it seemed last night, and had ignored my calls. Elena had said she had felt guilty. I hoped she would come around soon.

"I'm okay," Caroline said, still facing the sky, "it's hard, but its getting easier, Stefan has been giving me bags of blood so I don't starve to death and it makes the cravings easier."

"That's nice of him."

"Yeah, look Kaye, I'm sorry I tried to bite you that day, I didn't mean it." She said sadly, turning to face me where I sat in a similar posture basking in the sunlight.

"It's okay." I smiled at her, "I understand."

"You do smell really good." she sighed, looking away again, in what seemed like an action of avoidance as much as it was enjoyment of the sun, "Bonnie smells strange, its like I can smell the power she has."

I swallowed, "How was Bonnie last night?"

"She still hasn't been into contact huh?" I shook my head and though she wasn't looking she sensed it and continued, "She was, reluctant, angry, sad, but that's understandable, I killed the guy she liked, and she blames me for it. I blame me for it. But the same old Bonnie was there somewhere. I hope she'll come around."

I placed my hand over hers gently where it rested on the grass.

"Me too."

"How are Carters family? I feel awful for it."

"They're understandably sad, they're still grieving. The funeral was- horrible as you would expect. But eventually they'll be okay." I said honestly. She would know if I lied to her. She sighed softly but made no other noise.

"Every thing is messed up isn't it?" the blond asked, "I wish none of this had happened."

"Does your mum suspect anything?" I asked , finding myself unable to return the sentiment.

"No. But then she's never around anyway, she wont notice any difference." came the bitter reply.

"She will." I warned, "In a few years, when your looking far too young to be in your late twenties, thirties."

"I guess I'll have to die before then." she whispered, "or disappear."

I frowned, "Yeah. I guess."

"Caroline! Kaye!" Elena's voice interrupted the melancholy silence that had overtaken the fledgling vampire and myself. "It's good to see you guys!"

"Hey Elena!" Caroline waved cheerily, "Hey- Bonnie."

My eyes shot to the dark skinned girl who stood awkwardly behind Elena. "Hi." I mumbled, forcing a smile onto my face. The twosome sat beside us on the grass, Elena smiling warmly, though a little strained, a look we all seemed to have at this moment.

"How have you been?" I questioned the witch calmly.

"I'm okay. Sad." her eyes flicked to Caroline briefly, "But uh, mostly guilty."

I swallowed, as she continued, "I'm sorry guys. I'm so sorry for what I did, how I acted. I don't know what came over me. That wasn't me."

"It's okay." Caroline was the first to speak, "I forgave you the moment you gave me my sunlight back." Bonnie shot a teary grin to the blonde and grabbed her hand gently before returning her eyes to me, I swallowed again, fighting back tears and shot forward, pulling her into a tight hug.

"You're one of my best friends Bon. How could I not forgive you?"

She laughed gently and returned the hug, squealing slightly when both Elena and Caroline jumped in. We laughed freely for a few minutes before it fizzled out, three out of four breathing heavily, "You know," Elena said, "I haven't just laughed in a long time."

"Me neither." I sighed. "Guys suck."

"So do vampires." Caroline quipped and to my surprise Bonnie was the first to laugh again. "Has anybody heard from Mason yet?" She asked once we had all quieted again.

"No." I shook my head, "I mean, he stares at me when he sees me, like he's trying to intimidate me. You know?"

"Same" Elena sighed, "What about Tyler?"

"As far as anybody knows he's still human, Damon says that Anna has been watching him." I replied.

"Isn't that dangerous? With Mason around?"

I shrugged, "she insisted." I suddenly felt horrible for the fact that I was thankful it was someone else in danger and not Damon. My heart sped up slightly at the thought of him, though I tried to calm myself because there was no doubt that Caroline would hear my accelerated heart beat. We hadn't kissed again since that night, in fact he had barely even touched me. If I hadn't been able to read him so well I would think I had disgusted him or something, but I knew that with everything going on there was just no time for anything other than staying alive, adjusting and watching the enemy. Both John and Pearl and her vampire clan were still out there and now there was another new vampire among us, werewolves. I hadn't had any strange hallucinations lately but who was to ay I wouldn't again, especially since I had no idea of the meaning or the origin, I also didn't know how Bonnie was faring now with her magic but made a mental note to ask her. I sniggered to myself at my referral to Bonnie's power as magic, how infantile of me. I hadn't been infantile in a long time. Hadn't sat around like this, enjoying the sun, the day and my friends in a long time. Hadn't enjoyed much time alone with Damon, though from what I had heard from Elena, she and Stefan hadn't exactly been the most exciting couple recently. There was just so much going on it was impossible to be normal right now.

"I still can't believe that Tyler could be a wolf." Caroline, sighed sadly, "I guess a few of us were destined to become monsters."

"You aren't a monster Caroline." Elena growled, "You were in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"It seems you all have a penchant for being in the wrong place at the wrong time." the masculine voice sounded at the exact same moment that a shadow fell across the place I had led myself down and blocked the sun.

"Mason!" Elena exclaimed, jumping to her feet with an agility I had only ever se on her in moments of danger. I didn't miss the way Bonnie's eyes narrowed angrily as she too jumped to her feet, nor the way that Mason automatically translated to Danger in my head, or the way that Caroline seemed to grown angrily even as she took a step backwards, her senses obviously making her weary of her natural born enemy, "What do you want?"

"Only one bloodsucker with you today?" he asked, ignoring Elena's question.

"Leave her alone." I said as I pulled myself to my feet, having retained the sense of mind not to stay seated in this sort of confrontation, fist clenching.

"Now, now," he smiled cockily, no sense of the Mason I ad met at the memorial to be seen, "we wouldn't want one of your friends to be exhibiting weird strength or power in a public place now would we?"

Elena narrowed her eyes and repeated her previous question, between clenched teeth. "What. Do. You. Want?"

"Just to ask you ladies to pass on a message for me."

"What?" Bonnie asked.

"It applies to you too, two things. One: I'm not stupid, I know you've got one of you watching my home, next time I see, smell or even think she's there- I'll kill her. Two: Tell the brothers- It's on."

"What's on?" I asked confusedly.

"Oh you don't know, your boyfriend stabbed me with silver. Doesn't affect us of course, but the sentiment was still there. Now its war. No holding back." He turned to stalk away,

"Mason!" I called, taking the few steps he had gone, "You don't have to do this, we'll talk to them, we'll make them stop. This doesn't have to get worse."

"It's too late." Despite his words there was no sound of regret to what he said, "Its good to see you're still alive for now blondie." he smiled before walking away with an air of finality.

"I'll kill Damon!" Elena cried angrily.

"I might go first." I grumbled as we gathered are things mutually and began to make our way to the cars.

"What were you thinking?" Elena cried, the moment she slammed through the door, Bonnie, Caroline and myself in tow, neither vampire sat in the living room seemed surprised. Damon sat comfortably on the sofa, face expressionless, almost bored and Stefan stood leaning against a wall, arms folded across his chest, angry too. Obviously this had been a solo mission on Damon's part. I sighed tiredly. Whodathunkit?

"Elena." Stefan interrupted, "I've said it all, that idiot doesn't seem to care."

I was human and I could almost smell the anger radiating around the room.

"I'm going to call Anna," Caroline interjected, "Tell her to stop."

"Stop?" Stefan questioned as the blonde left the room already raising her phone to her ear.

"Mason knows Anna has been watching him. We gotta pull her out." I said.

"You saw Mason today?" Damon questioned, stiffening.

"Yeah."

"How was-"

"He was fine Damon." I said sarcastically, "No blood, no late reaction to any poison."

"Of course we saw him, how else did we find out that you basically started God damned war?" Elena cried, "Do you know what he said to us? He told us to tell you that its on, that this time it's war. As if we didn't have enough on our plate already with an angry wolf, now he's probably planning ways to kill us too!"

Damon rolled his eyes, "He can try."

"He will." Bonnie grumbled.

"Like you did?" Damon shot, "I'm fine by the way."

"Shame." she murmured.

"Was it too much to ask for one day of peace?" I asked, dropping onto the sofa on the far end, as far from Damon as I could get, not trusting myself not to punch him and break my fingers.

"We got a few hours." Elena said, moving towards Stefan.

"The calm before the storm." Stefan whispered wrapping an arm securely around Elena's waist. Despite the heat I felt myself shiver.

So yes, this one was sort of a filler that I needed to do before we got onto the major events coming in the next few chapters. I'll upload more soon!
