Kaye's P.O.V
"So why are we here again?" I asked whoever was listening.
"Because," Elena laughed, "Everyone has been so stressed lately, including the adults, what with setting up for this new park opening, Jenna is driving me crazy cause she's stressing out so much and we all need to get away, to chill out a little bit. Besides Caroline is out with Matt and having a good time, so we all need to as well."
"Agreed." Bonnie sing songed from behind us as she scanned the room for a free booth, "I haven't been out for a long time."
"Neither have I." I admitted. "Not without it ending in a dire situation or with someone hurt anyway."
"Well I'm getting a drink." Damon smirked, heading straight towards the bar. I rolled my eyes. Typical Damon. Damon who I was still slightly angry at for his actions a few days ago. Though nothing had happened over the last few days of any significance to our vampire or resounding werewolf problem which Damon had exacerbated in his murder attempt. So we all found it okay to forgive, if not forget Damon's foolishness.
"I'll go with him." Stefan stated as Elena and I followed Bonnie on her path towards an emptying booth.
"Elena," the witch said softly as she slid in, "Is it really wise for Caroline to be out with Matt? She's still pretty new to the whole vampire thing isn't she? Is Matt safe?"
"That's what I said to her." Elena replied, pulling her jacket from her shoulders, "but she's been working so hard and Matt thinks that she is ignoring him on purpose."
"She'll be okay." I said, sounding more confident that I felt, "she's strong."
"Yeah. I guess. I'm just worried about Matt y'know. After what happened to Carter." she sighed sadly. The short spell of silence was broken by the arrival of the brothers, carrying drinks for all.
"Move over." Damon demanded, nudging me across the booth and dropping a glass of coke before be.
"Careful." I mumbled, elbowing him in the ribs as Stefan slid into the booth on the seat opposite "with your bloody vampire strength."
Damon smirked and laid his arm across the booth behind me, "You don't usually mind. Last time I checked you rather liked it" His voice lilted suggestively.
"Damon!" Bonnie admonished.
"You can't just say stuff like that." I growled, blushing furiously and shaking my head.
"You're disgusting." Elena sighed
"And he's lying." I stated.
Damon's gentle chuckle was infectious and soon we found ourselves laughing and drinking freely, careless to anything else. Through the night our drinks had changed to stronger alcoholic beverages and I soon found my head spinning and vision blurring slightly. At some point Damon's arm had moved from the seat to my shoulders and I could feel him holding me against him, I liked the possessive contact.
"So, I think that I want to play a game of pool." Stefan stated, eyeing the group which now included a slightly intoxicated Jeremy and Tyler. Tyler's late arrival had caused everyone to be more guarded with their words, which was easy enough considering Elena, at the beginning of the night, had toasted that we talk of only normal teenage things tonight. Jeremy had also explained that Anna hadn't been able to make it for some reason, I couldn't remember the reason why, my mind was too fuzzy.
"I'm in." Tyler said, pushing back his borrowed chair on the end of the booth, "You in Gilbert?" he shot to Jeremy, "I'm still one up on you from the last game."
"Sure."
"I'm in. Two on two?" Damon added, knocking back the rest of his drink.
"You bet Salvatore. Let's go."
"Stefan!" Elena called as he manoeuvred himself from the booth, "No cheating." she said warningly, obviously referring to their more than human abilities.
"They'll cheat." I said resignedly, "Damon will anyway." I moved to take a sip of my drink and found it empty, "I'm getting another. You guys want?"
"Nah I'm good."
"No thanks."
"Sure? I'm just getting water, my heads a little fuzzy." I asked.
"Actually yeah, I'll have a water." Bonnie said, placing a hand to her head and rubbing it gently.
I nodded and made my way towards the bar, glad I only wanted water, because without Matt working I would have had to have asked Damon to supply the drink for me. I wobbled slightly but made it without injury and leaned up against the moderately busy bar, waiting for the girl behind it, someone I didn't recognise, to notice me.
I glanced around quickly, taking in Jeremy and Tyler's unsuppressed groans as they began losing the obviously fixed game between themselves and the brothers. I remembered Elena telling me that it was weird to see them getting along since they had basically hated each other when Vicki Donovan, Matt's sister had been around. Time and circumstances had mellowed them both it seemed. Especially poor Jeremy, who had lost so much and Tyler who had not only lost his father but faced many possible changes in the future. Changes for the worst.
I took in the other people around, a few students I recognised from school and mostly strangers, and Oh no, Sherriff Forbes moving towards the bar. I couldn't have the sheriff knowing that I had been drinking, I barely wanted to see her at all, knowing that she was part of the council and the past problems we had all faced.
I moved around swiftly, cringing as she called my name, "Kaye? Is that you?"
"Hi Sherriff Forbes." I replied, schooling my face into a smile, and hopefully a look of innocence.
"You're not drinking I hope?"
"No. Just ordering a water." I smiled, "If she ever gets to me that is."
"Good to hear. Are you hear with Elena?"
"Yeah and Bonnie, Stefan and Damon too."
"No Caroline?" she enquired.
"No. It's Matt's night off, they're on a date."
"Of course. So you and Damon are close? I was originally sat in a booth in the corner over there. You seemed rather cosy." She smiled gently, but something seemed, inquisitive in her eyes. Maybe the alcohol was just making me paranoid though.
"Uh, yeah he's really nice." I said, knowing that nice was not a word to ever be used to describe Damon Salvatore.
"And Stefan and Elena. They're nice too huh?"
"Of course." I said shortly with a frown.
"What about Mason Lockwood. Do you know him?"
"Yes." I hesitated, "We've only met a few times though."
"He's mentioned you." she replied cryptically.
"Yeah? - Water please?" I said to the girl who had finally moved towards me.
"So how are you settling in here in Mystic falls Kaye?" she asked, taking a sip of her own drink I hadn't noticed she had, "It must be strange, moving to a new place such as this. Mystic falls has a way of being different to other places."
"It certainly does." I scoffed, "But I'm good. It's good here."
"What about your father? We still haven't found who attacked him."
I felt my blood run colder at the mention of my fathers attack, "I know." I grumbled.
"Do you have any idea what happened there Kaye?" the sheriff asked, probing.
I took a long look at the sheriff, wondering what her game was right now, she was obviously interrogating me, trying to make it seem like a friendly conversation. I was glad that hanging around with vampires made me more paranoid, otherwise I probably wouldn't have noticed anything.
"No. I really don't. I just want the attacker found." I said, swallowing heavily.
"We're doing all we can." Liz smiled, "You'll be at the park opening? Helping out?"
"Yeah of course I will." I replied, forcing a smile onto my face.
"Damon will be there?"
"I guess so." I frowned.
"Make sure he comes." she left as parting words before draining the rest of her glass and pulling on her coat. I watched her intently as she left the grill, head high and swallowed, it seemed like there was no chance for us to have even one night without anybody knowing anything or questioning us. I breathed in deeply, jumping slightly as arms snaked their way around my waist. "We won." A voice whispered against my ear. I recovered quickly, used to his incessant sneaking and replied, "You mean you cheated."
"A couple of shots perhaps." he chuckled, breath ghosting across my ear and cheek.
I laughed, "What did Liz want?"
"She was asking some questions, about how I'm settling in and what everybody is like. Kind of weird. You mean to tell me you weren't listening in?"
"Nope. Too busy winning. Shame we didn't bet money really." He said as I turned around in his arms.
"What's got you all cosy and touchy feely tonight?" I asked grinning.
"Do I need an excuse?" he asked, nuzzling his face into my neck.
"I guess not." I replied, unused to this gentle, nurturing Damon that seemed to have appeared over the last few days, well since he had attacked Mason that day, "Is this you apologizing for the Mason thing?" I questioned.
He shook his head and mumbled something against my neck, to which I laughed, "I'll take that as a yes."
He pulled back and frowned, "So how did Sheriff Forbes seem? How strange exactly?"
"Pretty insistent, but she was, I don't know, there was something in her eyes you know? Like maybe she knows." I answered.
"She doesn't know. She would have tried to kill us by now." he joked.
"Guys!" Bonnie called, "We're thinking of heading out!"
I nodded, and moved from Damon's embrace, towards the booth where my bag and jacket remained, silently contemplating the evening, my head no longer fuzzy. It had started out so well, we'd been laughing and talking freely and there had been no antagonism between the brothers, Bonnie had even laughed at Damon a few times and it had been great but Sheriff Forbes's questioning had really sobered me up and put me on edge. I could feel anger welling up inside me. Could we not just have one evening? I yanked my jacket on and pulled my bag over my shoulder before following the others outside where they had all stopped by the door.
"Mason!" Tyler's voice cried, before he bid the others and myself goodbye before running towards the werewolf, stood beside his car in the lot.
Said werewolf nodded in acknowledgement, eyes trailing over our group as a challenge, "Can I get a ride with you?" Tyler asked him.
"Sure." Mason replied, eyes still on us.
"I'd like to break him." Damon grumbled quietly, I placed a gently restraining hand on his shoulder.
"Lets go." Elena said pleadingly, "Don't start anything Damon."
Bonnie nodded in agreement as we began to make our way to our own respective rides, Jeremy moving towards Elena's car. It was moving towards the cars that I noticed Sheriff Forbes's car on the far side of the lot, in a shadowed area. She ignited her engine and the headlights lit up her face inside the car, I followed her line of sight as she nodded towards someone, and noticed that it was Mason she acknowledged.
I clenched my hands into fists and whirled around as the sheriffs car pulled from the lot.
"What did you do?" I shouted, storming towards him, where he had opened his door and was about to climb in next to Tyler. "Did you talk to her?"
"Kaye!" Elena called.
"Are you the reason she questioned me in there?"
"I don't know what your talking about kid." he responded calmly, closing his door, effectively shutting the would be werewolf Tyler inside.
"You know exactly what I mean! What are you planning?" I growled.
"If I was planning something I wouldn't tell you."
"Back off Mason!" I cried, pushing hard on his chest, "Whatever your doing quit it!"
"Are you stupid?" the dog roared, moving forward and pushing my shoulder hard. I stumbled backwards and barely managed to stop myself falling if it were not for the arms that caught me.
"Touch her again." Damon threatened in a low voice as he stepped up close to Masons face angrily.
"It was him." I said, disentangling myself from Stefan who had caught me, "He was talking to the sheriff, just now after she questioned me."
"What are you planning dog?" Damon asked.
Mason opened his mouth for some retort but was interrupted by Elenas beeping phone, she pulled it from her pocket and her face paled, "What is it?" Damon asked ignoring the wolf as he moved to talk again.
"It's from Caroline, something's wrong."
"What?"
"Matt's in the hospital."
