The world seemed to slow as my father pointed the gun to my face, "Dad?" I asked quietly, "What are you doing?" My eyes flicked between his face and the gun. I found myself wishing that I'd stayed at the Salvatores. "Dad."

"Why must you snoop into my things?" He repeated, "You've always been so nosey!"

"That doesn't mean you need to point a gun at me dad- this isn't you. Whatever the sheriff told you its not true."

"You mean about the vampires?"

I gasped, "How-"

"You think I didn't know?" he laughed bitterly, "What Pearl did to me?"

I clenched my jaw, "Dad-"

"I knew straight away! The moment I woke up, I remembered, the sheriff gave me vervaine and I've always known." he explained. "I knew about Pearl, about all of them! About your monster of a boyfriend and his clan."

I shook my head, how could my dad have known? He wouldn't have allowed Damon to be around me if he knew. I voiced those exact thoughts.

"I had to get him to trust me Kaye, I had to get all of them to trust me. But you ruined it. They hurt people baby, and I'm going to kill them all."

"Dad!" I shouted, "You-"

My father raised the gun, his finger tightened on the trigger and I screamed, ducking as I did so. Nothing came though, no ear shattering blast or terrible pain. I blinked the tears from my eyes and hesitantly looked up, to see nothing. No father, no gun. I took a deep shuddering breath, and rose form the ground. "Kaye?" My fathers panicked voice startled me, followed by frantic footsteps on the stairs, "What is it?" He cried as he stumbled into the room, sleep ruffled in pyjama trousers and shirt. He must have been in bed, I couldn't say for sure how long I had been at the opening and then Damon's. I swallowed, "Nothing." I whispered, "I'm sorry. Thought I saw a spider."

"You haven't screamed like that at a spider since you were a toddler." dad said,

"I know." I laughed, trying to keep scared tears from falling.

"What's wrong baby?" He asked.

"Nothing dad." I lied, "I'm okay."

"You sure?" he asked quietly, wrapping a comforting arm around my shoulder. "You're covered in mud and dirt."

I hugged him back tightly and shook my head, "I'm fine." I mumbled again.

"Okay, I'm going to head back up stairs." He reached for the empty box and note on the table, seemingly not noticing its changed position.

"Dad?" I asked, "Why didn't you go to the opening? You said you were going with work mates."

He hesitated and smiled, "I wasn't feeling too well, I told the others to go without me."

I nodded, "Sorry I woke you. Do you need anything?"

"I'm fine." He said, "Be careful if you head back out again."

"I will dad." I said quietly, watching him climb back up the stairs with the box and note held firmly in his hands.

I slumped back against the wall, legs feeling shaky and weak. Both thankful and terrified that I had imagined yet another horror in my head.

Once calm, I climbed to my bedroom and changed into clean clothes, leaving the muddied ones in a pile on the floor.

I sent off a quick text, Meet me, park, now. And set out quickly, with little time to spare. I walked briskly, ignoring the ache in my legs from so much walking and running in such a long day. Thankful my heels had been kicked off the moment I arrived home and I was now wearing flat trainers and jeans. The park was almost empty by the time I arrived as the sky was darkening. Almost everything from the opening that I had mostly missed packed away.

"You couldn't have been a little bit more polite in your text?" A voice questioned.

"Mason." I said, eyes searching for him in the darker area, "We need to talk."

"Don't we just." Came the smug reply.

"Don't ever do that again." I growled, finding his shape and stalking forward, "I'm warning you, wolf, if any of them, anyone I love gets hurt again, I'll expose you for what you are. I'll tell the council, everyone what a monster you are and I'll prove it. You'll become some sort lab experiment or circus freak. I promise you I will tell everyone."

Mason laughed. "You're cute when you're angry."

"I'm serious! You almost killed them today, and you got humans killed in the process."

"Collateral damage."

"Mason- I'll tell everyone."

"Like that would make a difference?" he roared, swarming forward and slamming me roughly against a tree bark. I cried out as the bark splintered behind the force, but a large hand muffled the sound, "You think the council don't know that we exist? They know alright. They used wolves, my ancestors, to rid this place of vampires once and they damn well will again!"

The hand moved and I resisted the urge to spit in his face for fear of an imminent death. Instead I said, "Then I'll kill you myself. I'll find a way and I'll kill you."

This time the laugh was genuinely humorous, "You could try." His eyes raked over my form, "I could snap your neck right now."

"But you wont." I said, sounding much more confident than I felt, "I don't know why, but - you wont kill me."

Silence reigned for a few moments, before Mason stepped back and my feet met the ground again, I hadn't realised I had been lifted off of the floor.

"Word of advice." Mason said, "You're just a kid, stay out of this or you will die."

I shook my head and stepped away from him, before turning on my heel and marching away, holding my head high.

My next destination was the Salvatore's again which was thankfully not far from the park at all. I walked quickly, keeping my head down and avoiding any gazes, familiar or otherwise. The path to the house loomed before me and I walked on, hoping that Caroline had left already, I didn't think I could face her right now, maybe not for a long time and there was no doubt in my mind that she hated me right now. Even though I didn't know what I had done wrong, not really anyway. Her words had been hurtful and uncalled for but I couldn't bring myself to resent her or dislike her, she'd been through a lot today. I couldn't imagine the pain of my mother hating me. I'd been very close to my mother before shed gotten sick and throughout her illness she'd been a rock for us, for her family, despite her pain. Melissa had been wonderful in every way and I didn't think I could have handled her treating me the way Liz had treated Caroline.

When I reached the front door I found it still unlocked, meaning Stefan was probably still awake.

I stepped through, knowing he would have heard me and nodded towards him, where he sat on the sofa in front of the fire with Elena sleeping soundly on his lap.

"I'm gonna go check on Damon." I mumbled under my breath knowing he'd hear me.

He nodded and I made my way up the stairs. No sign of Caroline or the sheriff anywhere, thankfully.

I stepped slowly through Damon's door and into the darkness of his bedroom. Couldn't see anything in the muted darkness. "Damon?" I whispered.

A muffled groan came as a reply as I toed my shoes off and tip toed into the room when my eyes adjusted I saw that he lay sprawled out on his front, most of his face squashed into the large pillow. He looked comfortable, warm and more importantly that he was healing. "Howre you feeling?" I asked.

"Better." he mumbled, "Get in." I chuckled and climbed onto the bed, forgoing the covers, it was warm enough with the fire roaring on the right.

"What's up?" Damon asked, arm snaking around my waist. I allowed myself to be pulled closer and snuggled my face into the junction between his shoulder and neck. I shook my head, conveying not now, or maybe, I don't know, or just no. Either way Damon moved closer and whispered, "It'll be okay. Sleep."

I nodded, "Okay."
