The CW owns The Vampire Diaries, I'm just a fan that can't wait till october.

Elena's eyes flew wide open as she gasped. She grasped her throat lightly; it felt like she was suffocating. She panted as she tried to catch her breath.

Damon opened his eyes and looked over at her with concern.

"Elena, what happened? Are you okay?" He asked as he slipped his arm around to comfort her.

"I don't know Damon," she asked as she ran her hands through her head. "It felt like I couldn't breathe, like I was drowning "

"Hey hey hey, look at me "Damon said as he gently grabbed the sided of her face and looked into her eyes. "Your fine, nothing's happening to you, you're safe here with me."

"And besides you're a Vampire remember, you can't die from suffocation." He smirked.

Elena nodded her head and smiled as she looked into Damon's hypnotizing eyes.

"Your right, nothing bad is going to happen to me with you by my side." She smiled as she reached up and placed her lips against his.

Before she knew it Damon had her flipped over pinning her down. She laughed as he ran his lips along her neck. He stopped and looked down at her.

"I love this," He said as he caressed her cheek "I always want to wake up with you beside me, you make me so happy Elena."

"I love you Damon" Elena said as she pulled him on top of her.

He hungrily placed his lips into of hers and their kiss deepened. Their hands all over each other.

That was until there was shuffling downstairs.

"What was that" Elena stopped as her ears picked up something moving downstairs.

"Who cares it's probably just Stefan" Damon said as he went back to kiss her lips.

"No, Damon, Stefan can't be back here so fast."

Before Damon could say anything, Elena had vanished from the room.

Damon groaned "Whoever it is I'm going to kick their ass for interrupting this"

He got up and got dressed but stopped when he heard Elena scream.

He was quickly by Elena's side. "Elena what the hell ..." Before he could finish his sentence his mouth hanged open.

"Jeremy!"Elena asked as she saw her brother, living in the flesh in front of her.

"Hey sorry if I woke you up I was just looking for something to eat..."

Before Jeremy could say anything else Elena ran up and pulled her brother into a hug.

"How is this even possible?" Elena cried as she placed her hands on Jeremy's face, seeing if what she saw in front of her was real.

She looked up at him "Alaric... he's gone ...I thought Bonnie put the veil back up?"

"She did ...but Bonnie did this spell to bring me back" Jeremy explained

"Your really here, alive? For good?" Elena cried.

"Yes Elena, I'm back, for good" Jeremy smiled as he watched his sister cry tears of joy.

"Oh my god Jer! I'm so happy your back" Elena cried happily as she pulled Jeremy into a hug. "I just explain how happy I am..." She closed her eyes. She had her brother back, her rock.

She pulled away from Jeremy.

"Where's Bonnie? I have to thank her, after what I horrible friend I've been the least I can do is apologize and thank her." Elena said as she got out her phone to text Bonnie.

"No, Elena don't!" Jeremy shouted as he grabbed her phone.

"What the hell Jer?" Elena look wide eyed at Jeremy as he yanked the phone of her hands.

"I'm sorry" Jeremy apologized. "I am, but Bonnie left to her moms and she doesn't want to be disturbed...that spell that helped her close the veil was really exhausting..."

"I'll just leave her a text then" Elena shrugged as she tried to grab her phone back.

"Elena, you don't get it..." Jeremy sighed.

Elena stared at her brother in disbelief. "I don't get what Jer?"

"Bonnie doesn't want to talk to you right now...yeah she's forgiven you for trying to kill her, she understands that you weren't yourself but she needs some time to herself...after everything with Silas and everything...she needs to get away from anything that reminds her of Mystic Falls."

Elena swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat as Jeremy had said that.

"I...I understand, I shouldn't have thought it would be easy to get over."

"Yeah...well just give her some time...she'll come around ...all she needs is time for herself."

Elena nodded her head. "Yeah and the moment she wants to even see my face again ill apologize and try to make it up to her."

Elena hugged Jeremy again "you have no idea how happy I am Jer, after everything that has happened this year...I thought I lost my family."

"You don't have to say anything Elena, I'm here now" Jeremy comforted his sister.

Elena wiped the tears from her eyes. "Yeah no more crying, not when your back. You wanted something to eat right? Let me whip up something delicious "

Jeremy smiled "Yeah that would be great."

He watched as his sister happily scurried away to the Salvatore kitchen.

He looked up and saw Damon walking towards him with a smirk.

"What?" He asked the smirky vampire.

"I'm glad you're here little Gilbert" Damon said as he placed his hand on Jeremy's shoulder "Your sister was a complete mess without you."

"Yeah well I'm here now" Jeremy said he lowered Damon's hand from his shoulder. "Look Damon, my sister choose to be with you for some reason that I don't quite understand, but if you do anything to hurt her, remember I'm still a hunter."

"Puh lease if I remember correctly you weren't that great of a Hunter" Damon rolled his eyes.

"Yeah...that was before Bonnie did that spell to let Silas out and when she did ...well let's just say I'm not that puny little kid you can push around" Jeremy said, face to face with Damon, not blinking once.

"Trust me I would never hurt Elena." Damon stared wide eyed at Jeremy.

"Yeah, well forgive me for not believing you" Jeremy replied "Your track record speaks for itself. When it comes down to it Damon, you always come first for yourself."

Damon narrowed his eyes. "Well, excuse me, even though I'm enjoying this little talk of ours, your little sibling thing with Elena has inspired me to call my brother...He's probably by himself now with the veil up and everything."

Jeremy watched Damon make his way back up the stairs back to his bedroom.

He didn't see what his sister saw in him. He wished his sister had chosen Stefan; he always liked Stefan after all he was the one who managed to bring back the Happiness in Elena's eyes after their parents died. He was always good for her, and even though he was a Vampire he was never one around her.

"Thanks Jeremy."

He jolted as he looked behind him. "God Bonnie don't do that too me" he whispered, knowing his sister may hear them in the other room, he went outside, closing the door behind him.

"Bonnie I don't think I can lie to everyone like this," Jeremy explained,"What happens when you don't call them, you know Elena and Caroline will go looking for you. What happens when they don't find you at your moms?"

"Shhh, " Bonnie shushed Jeremy "Be quieter Elena might hear you."

She looked at Jeremy with tears in her eyes. "You saw how happy Elena was Jer, after all this time after everything she's been through she's finally happy."

She looked at the Salvatore house. "I don't want to take that away from her; I don't want my friends being miserable and spend the entire summer mourning me."

"You know you won't be able to hide this forever Bonnie" Jeremy looked determinedly at her.

"I know, trust me I know" Bonnie said as she looked at Jeremy with teary eyes. "I just want to give them at least some time to be happy."

Jeremy looked at Bonnie broken hearted "I wish I could touch you, so I could wipe those tears away"

Bonnie laughed "I know, I wish could touch you like this." Bonnie said as she placed her hand on Jeremy's cheek.

Jeremy closed his eyes wishing he could feel her warm hand caressing the side of his face.

"Jeremy?!" Elena shouted "Where'd you go?"

Jeremy opened his eyes.

Bonnie looked at Jeremy,"Go, Elena's looking for you, you know you can always talk to me whenever you want, just make sure no one's around."

Jeremy looked sadly into Bonnie's eyes and nodded his head.

He turned around as he headed back to the house.

"There you are Jer!" Elena said as opened the front door. "Why are you out here? Dinners all ready for you!"

"I was just enjoying the night." Jeremy sighed, "I really missed feeling the nice breeze against my skin."

Elena smiled "Well come on, Dinners waiting for you. Sorry but all that was in the cupboards were some canned spaghetti that I found. Not a lot of food in the Salvatore house."

"That's fine I could eat anything right now" Jeremy laughed as he hugged his sister as they went back into the house.

Damon picked up the phone from his bed as he scrolled down and clicked on Stefan. After a few rings Stefan picked up.

"Damon?" Stefan answered.

"Hey little bro..." Damon said as he looked out the window, watching Elena usher Jeremy inside. "I just called to see how you were doing...you know with the veil being up and everything..."

"Yeah...I'm not going to lie and say I'm fine because I'm not...it was hard losing Lexi again..." Stefan sighed.

"If...if it helps, I feel the same way about Rick" Damon answered

"No offence Damon." Stefan sighed, "But I highly doubt your feeling anything like I am right now...look I dumped Silas's body in the quarry and I'm making my way back to Mystic falls...I might stop along the way to clear my head...I don't know...but just don't expect me to be at home tonight."

Damon stared at his bedroom floor. "Yeah...Stefan you know that...I "

"Yeah Damon I do, but like I said I honestly don't feel like talking to anyone... especially you...just because I said I'm happy for you doesn't mean we're back to being all brotherly."

Damon didn't know what to say and before he could even say anything Stefan hung up.

He sighed and wondered if Stefan would ever really talk to him ever again. Funny how being back in mystic falls brought them together and apart at the same time.

Silas laughed as he chucked the phone onto the passenger seat.

"We'll that was easy" he said as he looked into the open road. Stefan's daylight ring sparkling from the moon light.

The driving thing wasn't as hard as people made it to be .Being Stefan wasn't too hard, he had been observing him for the last few days anyways. It was going to be a pain in the ass being good old Stefan Salvatore. Stefan had willingly let the love of his life go. If he was Stefan (which was ironic because now he was going to be thinking he was Stefan.) He would kill Damon for his betrayal. That was what was wrong with Stefan Salvatore. He was too good natured, too into doing the right thing. How well did that work out for him? Stuck in the bottom of a lake, alone, and soon starving.

He looked ahead and noticed a car on the side of the road, a young woman who looked to be in her early 20's was at the hood of the car.

He pulled the SUV over. He got out and walked up to her.

"Need some help?" Silas smiled as he looked closely at the young women.

"Oh my god thank god!" The girl said as she looked at him. She had blonde hair and green eyes. "I don't know what's wrong with my car, it just started smoking and this road deserted, Can you help me?" She asked.

"Of course, it would be my pleasure." Silas smiled as he grabbed her neck and sank his teeth into her neck. He drained her of her blood and dropped her onto the ground.

He wiped the blood the blood off his mouth. "Thanks for the late night snack."

He walked back into the SUV and drove away.

Caroline looked at herself in the mirror as she took off her earrings. She smiled.

She finally graduated from High school, despite everything that happened these few years her and her friends had made it through together. But that wasn't the whole reason why she was over the moon. Klaus had given her the best graduation present she could ever want. Not all the money from her Aunts and Uncles could amount to what Klaus had done. Tyler could finally come home, they could finally be together. Maybe there was something human in Klaus after all.

She couldn't help but let out a sequel as she grabbed the picture of Tyler and her from her nightstand as she lay back on her bed, clutching the frame close to her.

She left dozens of messages on Tyler's phone telling him the good news. She hoped that he would see them soon and come back home.

She heard a knock in door. Her eye brows furrowed.

"Who could that be this late?" She thought as she got up. Her mom had called to let her know she would be coming home late.

She put the picture frame back on the night stand and walked down the stairs. She froze as she saw who it was through the glass door.

"Tyler!" Caroline cried as she ran to open the door and quickly grabbed Tyler into a tight hug. "You got my messages"

"Yeah Car, is it true, Klaus is letting me go?" Tyler asked her as he looked down at her.

Caroline nodded her head excitedly. "Yes! He's leaving Mystic Falls heading to New Orleans," She cried "Said something about there was something bigger then Tyler Lockwood he had to deal with."

Tyler leaned down and kissed Caroline. His forehead resting against hers. "I'm so glad to be home with you Car, I missed you so much."

Caroline looked at Tyler with tears in her eyes. "I'm so glad your back too; this is one of the best days of my life."

Tyler nodded his head as pulled Caroline inside the house. "I love you Caroline" He said as he went back to kissing her.

The two made barely made it up the stairs as they couldn't keep their hands off each other.

As they entered Caroline's bedroom, Caroline pulled away from Tyler.

"Promise me you're never going to leave me again"

Tyler placed both of his hands on the sides of her face as he looked into the icy blue eyes of hers.

"I promise I'm never leaving you again. You're my everything."

Katherine groaned as she felt her head pounding. She slowly got up as she held her head.

"What in the hell happened" She thought as she tried to remember.

"God why does my head hurt so bad?" She groaned out loud.

She remembered, she had confronted Elena and she was winning, she was on top of Elena, but then Elena...

"What the hell!" She groaned in pain, she felt the back of her head; she looked down at her hand and saw blood.

"That should have healed already" She thought. She groaned as her head throbbed again. She was on top of Elena but then, Elena had stuffed something down her throat.

Katherine's eyes widened. "No! It can't be!" She shook her head "Nooo no it can't be!" She screamed as she looked at her hands, they weren't healing...that meant...the thing that Elena had stuffed into her mouth...

"THAT BITCH!" Katherine screamed as she gritted her teeth.

"She stuffed the cure down my throat...I'm ...I'm Human again!" She said hysterically as she gripped her head, running her fingers through the front of her hair.

"I'm not a vampire anymore...I'm Human!" She screamed as she fell down on her knees hysterically crying.

"That you are Katarina..."

Katherine got up quickly and looked around. "Who...Who's there? Show yourself!"

"Who said I wasn't going too."

Katherine turned around and looked in front of her.

"Stefan?" She asked surprised to see the younger Salvatore there."What...what are you doing here?"

"Allow me to formally introduce myself; I don't think we've meet yet...the names Silas." Silas smirked as he saw the look on Katherine's face.

"So...what is this you're coming to me in the form of Stefan...why?" Katherine asked, scared at the thought Silas was in front of her.

"Oh come one Katherine...I thought you of all people were smarter than that..." Silas laughed...

"What do you mean...?"

Silas narrowed his eyes and looked darkly at Katherine.

"You're not the only one with a Doppelganger.

Katherine's eyes widened, her mouth hanging open.

Silas cackled as he saw the horrified look on the poor girls face.

"Surprise, Suprise."
