"Vicki is in our house." Anastasia finishes brushing her hair when Elena walks into her room and says that.

"Huh?"

"Vicki Donovan was in our bathroom." Anastasia turns and faces Elena with a surprised look.

"Are you serious? Out of all of us, it's Jeremy that's getting some action? Why couldn't it be Jenna, we all know she needs it."

"How are you so chill with this, Anastasia. This is... Vicki is a druggie and Matt's sister."

"Look, Ela, I feel good, better than I have in a long time. Just... let me be chill. So Jeremy fucked Vicki and she stayed over, but hey, it could be worst, she could be pregnant."

"That's not helping, Anastasia." Anastasia shrugs as she heads down the stairs with Elena.

"No, but it makes me laugh, so... I'm going with it." She gives a smile to Elena as they enter the kitchen.

"Hey, are you aware of what's going on upstairs?" Elena whispers to Jenna.

"Uh-huh," Jenna says, causing Elena to look at Anastasia and then Jenna.

"And you and Anya have no objections?"

"He could be craftier about it; At least make an effort to sneak her in and out. Oh, and, uh, just so you know, I won't be home for dinner."

"Yeah, yet another person going to have sex. See, Elena, Jenna knows how to be chill." Jenna raises an eyebrow as Anastasia smiles. "I was just telling Elena that out of us all, you could totally use the 'exercise' of a date with a guy." Jenna gives a surprised look at Anastasia, not sure whether to laugh or scold.

"What is up with you today?"

"Oh, nothing, just... I feel good for some unknown reason. I can't even place it or understand it, but for once I almost feel like my old self again." Jenna smiles as she says that.

"That's good. It means you're healing."

"Oh, so wait, you're actually going to do it?" Elena questions Jenna, going back to the previous conversation. "You're gonna go out with Logan." Elena teases.

"I'm going to show up and torture him, yes."

"That's my favorite aunt," Anastasia says as she kisses Jenna's cheek. "Out of all my mom's sisters, you were always more like her." Jenna smiles as she places a hand on Anastasia's cheek.

"Sassy, sharp witted, and a hell of a temper sounds about right," Jenna says as she looks at her niece. "You are a lot like her too, and you look just like her."

"Don't forget I'm a Hale too. My temper is twice as bad as my mother's and my sarcasm is worst along with my sassiness."

"A perfect combination of your parents. Her looks, but his eyes, and both of their personalities. They'd be proud of you, Anya." She says as the sound of a car honks.

"That's Matt, he's picking me up today, so I got to go, but I'll see you later, Jenna, bye Elena." She walks over to the stairs. "Bye bunnies in heat!" Both Jenna and Elena burst into giggles as Anastasia yells this up to Jeremy and Vicki before heading out the door.

"Hey, Anya, so... no weirdness after the founder party?" Matt questions as Anastasia gets into the car. "I mean... with the kiss?"

"No, Mattie, no weirdness. You're still my best friend slash brother and I am still your best friend slash sister." He smiles and wraps an arm around her as the two head for the school.

"Good because I have no idea how I would feel without you in my life."

"Don't worry, you'll always have me by your side." Matt smiles and kisses her temple before pulling into the school.

"Another boring day of school to go through."

"Let the hell begin."

School went by agonizingly slow, but they made it through it and eventually begin to relax at the Grill until Tyler shows up. "So you two a thing now? I saw you at the party the other night." He says with an aggressive tone.

"What's your problem, Ty?" Matt questions.

"Not that it's any of your business, but no, Ty, Matt and I are only friends. That kiss was simply us trying to figure out if there's more, but there's not. We're just friends and right now that's more than what we are with you right now." Tyler looks at Anastasia, hurt filling his eyes.

"Fine, whatever, but don't come crying to me when you need me." He says.

"Maybe it was never us that needed you, Ty, but you who needed us." Tyler doesn't say anything but keeps walking.

"That was a bit harsh, Anya."

"Tyler has no right to judge us, Matt. Last time I checked he's with your sister."

"I don't think so." Anastasia raises an eyebrow at Matt as he says this. "I saw her having a fight with Tyler. Then I saw her with Jeremy."

"Wonderful." Anastasia sighs before glancing at Matt. "Oh... that reminds me... She slept over our house." He pauses in the middle of shooting the pool ball and looks at her.

"With Jeremy?"

"With Jeremy." Matt hits the ball with a sigh before standing up.

"Wonderful." He moves around the pool table as Elena walks over.

"Hey, Matt, um, have you seen Stefan?" She asks. "Anastasia?"

"Nope, we've been hanging out all day. Haven't seen him." She says as she hits a ball into the hole.

"But if you want to kill some time, um, you can rack," Matt says, causing Anastasia to glance over at them.

"Yeah, I'll buy the drinks. What do you guys want?"

"I'll just have a coke." Matt says.

"Elena?" She looks at them for a long moment.

"Come on, we haven't played in forever," Matt tells her. "I'll even let you and Anastasia team up against me." He says.

"Tempting offer, Elena." Anastasia smiles.

"I'll let you break too," Matt adds with a smile, causing Elena to smile in return.

Anastasia got the drinks, while Elena breaks and score a ball. The three play for awhile, just talking about everything. "And there's Vicki, all nonchalant in the bathroom like it's no big deal that they're hooking up," Elena says.

"Yeah, I'm not going to lie. Your brother and my sister, that's weird." Matt says as she stands up after hitting a ball.

"Yeah." She sighs, moving the white ball back as her phone vibrates. Matt glances at her, way too curious than he should be.

"How late is he?" Matt asks.

"Hitting the hour mark." Elena sighs.

"Elena, I..." Anastasia sighs. "If he really cared then he wouldn't be late." She says as she hits the white ball and knocking a solid green in.

"Nothing's wrong though, which means I'm not talking boy problems with you two." She says as Anastasia hits another ball but misses.

"Good, I mean, it's not like we were ever best friends or anything." Anastasia flinches at Matt's joke before he takes a shot.

"Okay." She says. "Here it goes- What do you think of Stefan? Is he a good guy?" She asks.

"Why? What's he done?" Matt asks.

"Not any one thing. He's just so secretive all the time." Elena explains as Anastasia leans over the pool table to listen. "I think there's something that he doesn't want me to know, which makes me want to know all the more."

"Like what? Like that he's a serial killer and he keeps a clown suit in his trunk?" Anastasia snickers before moving away from the pool table in order to let Matt hit the ball.

"No, of course not, but what do we know about him, really?" Elena asks.

"He's great at football," Matt says.

"A little bit of a loner," Anastasia adds on.

"And as much as I hate saying it, he might be a nice guy." Matt continues on.

"So you think I'm just being paranoid?" Elena asks.

"I think you should talk to him," Matt says.

"I agree," Anastasia says even though she knows exactly what Stefan is keeping from her.

"Talk to who?" Anastasia jumps as she hears Stefan's voice right by them. "I'm so sorry that I'm late." He says.

"What happened?" Elena asks.

"I got held up."

"Is everything okay?"

"There was this thing with my uncle."

"And you couldn't call and tell me that you were going to be an hour late?" Matt and Anastasia exchange a glance.

"OKay, it's getting late and I need to bring Anya home, so you two have fun," Matt says. He and Anastasia hang up their pool sticks and head for the door.

"Thank you for being civil, Matt," Anastasia says.

"I'm accepting it. Elena isn't going to go back to me and... despite the bump in the road with Stefan, he does make her happy." Anastasia nods as the two head towards his truck.

The two head home and Anastasia says good night to Matt before going upstairs. Today has already been a tiring day for Anastasia and she finds herself lying in her bed and drifting right to sleep.

"Anya, dove." Anastasia stands in a beautiful mansion, pictures adorn the walls, beautiful rugs lay on the hard wood floors and the walls were all painted beautiful colors. She stands, looking around for the source of the man who spoke her name. "My dove, I didn't expect to see you, so soon." She turns, looking around some more, but she doesn't seem him.

"I know what you are!" She calls.

"Are we going to make this a twilight kind of theme?" A deep chuckle fills the house. "Then say it."

"You're my mate."

"And I yours." She turns again and finally, she sees him. He stands on the stairs, staring down at her with a kind smile on his face. "The half that makes me whole." He takes a step closer to her, his warm brown eyes staring into her blue ones. "The girl that captures my heart and soul." In a matter of seconds he is in front of her, her face in his hands. "The only one I see in a packed room. You are my dove, my only."

"When will I meet you?" She whispers. "Really meet you."

"Soon."

"I can't wait. I want.. I want to see you."

"And I you." He whispers, his lips hovering over hers. "I want to kiss you," His lips brush against hers. "Hold you." His arms wrap around her. "Make love to you." His hand moves down her body, her eyes rolling into the back of her eyes at his simple touch. "I want to taste you in every way," She gasps as she feels sharp fangs run against her neck. "And I want you to claim me as your own. I want to have your scent on me so that everyone knows who I belong to. I want to feel myself inside of you. Your warm tight heat." He whispers in her ear. "I want to devour you and take everything as mine and I want you to do the same to me." He pulls back, his eyes meeting hers. His eyes turn black, veins going under his eyes, and sharp fangs showing between his lips. She stares up at him, her eyes gold, and her own teeth turned into canine fangs. "My own little wolf."
