"Here." Jeremy said.
"Thanks." Bonnie said taking the cup of coffee from Jeremy.
"Maybe you should take a break; come sit outside with me." Jeremy said holding out his hand.
"Maybe a break would do me some good." Bonnie says taking his hand and following him to the garden.
"It's so peaceful out here." Bonnie said after they sat down on the bench.
"I thought you might like it; you've trying to figure out the map for four hours now." Jeremy said putting his arm around Bonnie.
"Has it really been that?" Bonnie asked looking at Jeremy.
"It has." Jeremy said.
"I lost track of time." Bonnie said put her cup down on the table next to her.
"Well we all knew it wouldn't be the easiest thing to figure out but i know we can do it."
"We?" Bonnie said leaning closer to Jeremy.
"We are in this together, Bonnie." Jeremy said leaning in to kiss Bonnie.
"Am I interrupting something?" Klaus said looking at them.
"Yes you are actually." Jeremy said scowling at Klaus.
"Well I am sorry for the interruption, but I am looking for my brother." Klaus explained looking between the two of them.
"Which one?" Bonnie said taking a sip from her coffee.
"Kol, hew seems to have run off again and I tracked him to here."
"He was here but he left again." Jeremy said.
"Where did he go?" Klaus said.
"Why do you care so much?" Bonnie asked.
"I like to keep my dear little brother on a short leash, he can get into trouble really easily." Klaus explained slowly.
"He is out with a friend of Stefan." Jeremy said.
"My brother mentioned that he had returned, who is this friend my brother has chosen to keep him company tonight?" Klaus asked sweetly.
"Her name is Lexi; Stefan is inside your welcome to talk to him about her." Bonnie explained.
"Lexi, what a pretty name." Klaus said mostly to himself "Thank you for your help, I think talking to Stefan is great idea." Klaus said heading into the house.
"Think there is trouble among that family." Jeremy said as soon as Klaus had disappeared.
"Maybe Kol isn't exactly doing as Klaus wants at the moment." Bonnie said.
"Perhaps, now where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?" Jeremy asked smiling at Bonnie.
"I have no idea." Bonnie said just as there lips met.
...
"You know I can't image it being easy for you to be here, Stefan." Klaus said stand in his doorway.
"Klaus what an unwelcome surprise." Stefan said turning to him.
"Now now Stefan I am trying to be polite." Klaus said with a smile that looked more like a warning not to test him.
"What can I help you with Klaus?" Stefan asked.
"I am incurring about a friend of yours whom my brother has taken a liking to." Klaus said taking a set on the chair.
"Kol seems to be interested in my friend Lexi." Stefan said.
"I gathered from the witch and Elena's brother down stairs."
"What do you want to know about her Klaus?"
"Do you trust her?" Klaus asked.
"Yes i do, i don't know why that would matter to you."
"I matters to me because if you trust her that means i can't." Klaus explained as if was taking to a three year old.
"Your brother seems to trust her." Stefan said.
"Is this her?" Klaus asked suddenly next to the bed picking up a picture. It's a picture of Stefan, Percy, Buxton, Hugo and Lexi in front of a circus.
"Yes that's her, that picture was taken the night we met."
"She is quit beautiful." Klaus remarked putting the picture down.
"Why has your brother taken an interesting in Lexi, Klaus?"
"My brother likes pretty things and your friend must have intrigued my brother." Klaus explained.
"Let my know if they should return." Klaus said turning to leave the room.
"You don't need to worry Klaus Kol is in no danger from Lexi." Stefan said.
"Im not concerned for my brothers safety; just intrigued my your friend and her intensions for my baby brother." Klaus said before disappearing.
...
She looks like a good target... pretty and young I think to myself as I start to follow a girl with blonde hair wearing a red jacket. She turns into a alley and I makes sure there are no people around and jumps at her, but she spins around and throws me against the wall.
"Why do all you young ones always think a girl is the easiest pray?" the girl asks.
"How did you..." I start.
"You're not the only one you know." She says taking a step back from him.
"You're like me?" I ask.
"Well seeing as I just kicked your undead ass and seeing as im still alive im to going to go with yes." the girl replies.
"You knew i was following you?" I ask.
"Well duh... I much older then you and saw you and your friend make googly eyes at me inside the tent."
"You saw us?"
"Yes i did, i have seen so many circuses in my lifetime it takes on with an extra something to get my attention."
"Oh really?" I said giving her a smile.
"It's true that's why you immediately caught my attention." the girl said taking a step forward.
"Well i apologies for attempting to kill you." I say before turn to leave. As I turn my back of the girl she appears in front of me.
"Where do you think your going?" she asks.
"Im going to go find a meal." I say trying to get past her.
"Do like being like this?" She girl asks Stefan as he tries to get past her.
"Like being like what?" I ask confused.
"A monster." she replies.
"Im not a monster." I argue.
"Oh really so killing girls in alleys isn't a monstrous thing to do?"
"I was and still am hungry." I say walking past her.
"Well if you change your mind ill be here for the next three days." the girls says walking back to the circus.
"Change my mind about what?" I ask walking next to her.
"Being a monster there are other ways to survive and i can teach you how." she explains.
"Im good thanks." I say.
"If you're sure; see you around." the girl say walking toward a group of guys.
"Hey i never got your name." I tell the girl. She stops and turns to me "My name is Lexi." She says.
"Im Stefan." i say.
"It's nice to meet you Stefan; i hope to see you soon." Lexi says.
...
I hear someone calling my name and as i open my eyes I see Lexi leaning over me.
"Lexi?" He asks.
"Well unless im being possessed by something, you its still me." I reply taking off my jacket.
"When did you get back?" Stefan asks.
"About ten minutes ago; you were passed out on the bed so I went to get something to eat." i explain taking a seat on the bed.
"I was dreaming about the first time we met." Stefan said.
"Ohh you mean the time you tried to kill me thinking i was human?"
"Yes that time, seeing as i have tried to kill you since." Stefan said.
"Haha that's true because you know Id kick your ass." I say.
"You wish." Stefan said.
"Don't start with me Stefan" I threaten throwing a pillow at him which he catches.
"So how was your date with Kol?" He asks after a while.
"Its was alright thanks, Jeremy says Klaus was looking for us."
"More Kol then you." Stefan says.
"He is worried Kol would do something stupid like kill you."
"What? Really? Awesome." I reply.
"Why is that awesome?" Stefan asks.
"Because now Klaus will know who i am and after Kol tells him about our date i can meet the rest of the family." I explain.
"What..."Stefan starts.
"Don't worry Stefan im not going to do anything stupid i just need a way into the family." I say.
"What is your plan make Kol fall in love with you then kill him?" Stefan asks.
"No that stupid, don't want to kill Kol ; i want to kill Klaus." i explain.
"Revenge wont bring Lee back Lexi."
"Don't Stefan." i say getting up "he took the love of my life away from me; he will pay." i say walking out of the room.
"Hey Lexi." Damon starts.
"Not a good time Damon." I say walking past him into the garden.
"Is everything alright? Are you two having a lover's argument?" Damon asks sitting down next to me,
"You can't take anything series can you?" I ask.
"I was trying to help." Damon said getting up turning to leave.
"Do you know what it feels like to have someone taken away the one you love you more then anything; the meaning of your life?" i ask looking up at Damon.
"Yes actually i do." Damon said sitting down again.
"Katharine?" I ask already knowing the answer.
"Yes i was madly in love with her; i knew she was vampire and I didn't care." Damon explained.
"Must have hurt when she chose Stefan?"
"Yes it did and i didn't think i would ever feel that way again about anyone and then i met someone who showed my its possible to love again."
"Elena?" I ask.
"Yes but not who im talking about" Damon said looking down at me.
"Who?" I asked looking down at the grass then back at him.
"Her name was Rose." Damon started "She helped us with our Klaus problem."
"Where is she now?" I ask.
"She died; bitten by a werewolf, i held her in my arms as she died; she just grew weaker and weaker with every breath i wish there was something i could have done for her." Damon explained.
"You loved her didn't you?" I ask recognizing the look in his eyes.
"You know what Lexi i did, she made me what to be better, i wanted to be better for her."
"Klaus killed Lee." I say.
"Lee?" Damon asks.
"He was the love of my life; he was human and we fell in love immediately." I take a breath before continuing." he know what i was i showed him and he still loved me and so i turned him." i finished.
"Why?" Damon asks i could hear the confusion in his voice.
"To love someone forever you need to live forever Damon and that was our plan." I explained as a tear ran down my cheek.
"Why did Klaus kill him?" Damon asks.
"I don't know but i will find out, Stefan says i should forgive and forget but I don't know how to go on anymore." i say as more tears escape from my eyes.
"Hey its okay." Damon says putting his arms around me.
"I just can't keep living like this, it hurts so much." I say into Damon shirt.
"Its okay its going to be okay." Damon repeats.
"How, how is it going to be okay Damon?" I ask pulling away from him.
"Its going to be okay because im going to help you." Damon says brushing hair out of my face.
"You are?" i asked skeptically.
"Yes i am." Damon says.
"Why would you do that?" I ask.
"I know what you're going through and maybe get the revenge you need will give you the comfort you need." Damon said.
"Why are you being so nice to me Damon, we aren't exactly good friends."
"Im not the same person i was when we met Lexi; i want to prove it to you." Damon said. We juts sat there looking at each other for ten minutes when my phone suddenly started ringing.
"I should go see if Bonnie needs help." Damon said getting up and walking back inside.
"Hello?" I answer my phone.
"Hey peach guess who?" i hear a man's voice say.
"Percy is that you?" I ask the person on the phone.
"It's my baby, where you?" Percy asks.
"Im in Mystic Falls." I say.
"That's great we are leaving now, we have a surprise for you." Percy said before hanging up the phone.
"That was weird." I say putting the phone down.
"Who was that?" Stefan asks from behind me,
"Percy, he said he had a surprise for me." I said getting up.
"Is he coming here?" Stefan asks walking back to the house with me.
"Apparently." i said.
"Lex..." Stefan says grabbing my arm.
"What is it Stefan?" i ask looking at him.
"I found something." Stefan says taking a silver ring out of his pocket.
"You kept it?" i said looking at the ring.
"I did." Stefan says.
"So did i." I say pulling up my necklace and on the chain is the same ring.
"You remember where we got these?" Stefan asks.
"I do, the first night you resisted human blood." i said.
"I was walking to the park where we were to meet when i saw them and i know you'd love them."
"We called them our friendship rings because we know we would be friends forever." I finished.
"Exactly." Stefan said putting the ring back on.
"Try to understand Stefan for me." I say.
"I am; just don't hate me okay."
"I could never." I say hugging him.
"Im glad to hear it." Stefan says hugging my back.
"Hey guys can you come in here for a second." we hear Bonnie say.
When we walk into the living room everyone is sitting on the floor holding hands.
"What's going on?" i ask.
"We think we found a way to read the map." Bonnie said.
