Margret decided to stay in that Friday night, so that she could try to figure things out. She ran into Jeremy as he headed downstairs. "Hey. What's up?"

"Anna's left like five voice mails. She's seriously starting to creep me out."

"She clearly hasn't seen enough films to know that guys don't like that stuff." Margret said.

"You're such a nerd." Jeremy said, playfully shoving her in the arm.

"I've been called worse, twin." Margret said, shoving him back. They headed downstairs to find Elena and Stefan going through an old box.

"What are you guys doing?" Jeremy asked.

"Hey. Just going through some stuff, feeling sentimental." Elena told him. "Dad had this whole family journal from years ago. I thought I'd dig it up."

"Jonathan Gilbert's journal?"

"Yeah, what do you know about it?" Elena asked.

"I just did a history report on it." Jeremy told them.

"Oh. So where is it now?"

"I gave it to Mr. Saltzman. He wanted to see it" Jeremy said.

"Well, there's a lot of history from this town in there, right?" Margret pointed out. "It was written by one of the first founders."

"Yeah, though it's full of fictional stories about demons." Jeremy told her. "There's no such things as demons or vampires."

"That's true."

"This coming from the girl who believes in spirits?" Jeremy asked.

"Shut up, Jeremy." Margret said as she headed back upstairs.

A few hours later, she was hanging out with Jeremy. "So, no cool parties or anything?"

"Amy's been dodging my calls, Alex has been acting distant lately, and Melody's working the karaoke stand tonight." Margret told him. "Not to mention Rob's been just as MIA as Amy."

"Is it weird that we're twins but have nothing in common except for that?" Jeremy asked.

"Well, we're not all that different. We both like some of the same music and researching weird topics." Margret said.

"That's more your thing."

"Hello, you're the one who did your paper on vampires." Margret pointed out.

"Why don't you go help Aunt Jenna out?"

"Talk about dodging the question." Margret headed into the kitchen and was surprised to see Damon.

"Hey."

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Margret asked.

"Well, your sister's kinda helping us with something and your aunt invited me to stay for a while."

"Okay…" Margret wondered what in the world Elena was thinking, helping someone who'd hurt one of her friend's cousins. "Jenna, you do know what happened with Caroline, right?"

"Margret, you need to stop judging people for their mistakes." Jenna told her.

"Fine, but if you hurt anyone that lives in this household or any of my other friends, you're going to wish you never came to this town." Margret told him.

"Fair enough."

"Seriously, though, what is with you? Hurting Care was one thing, but I don't get why you did it."

"Let's just say she knew something I didn't want others to know about."

"You didn't have to hurt her."

"If it makes you feel better, I haven't been near her since the night my brother's friend was arrested. Anyway, what are you doing home on a Saturday night?"

"All my friends are busy." Margret told him. "Not that it's any of your business."

"I'm surprised you don't have a date or something."

"Please, not that it's any of you're business, but I don't have a boyfriend." Margret said. "I'm not really looking for a relationship right now, anyway. I'm a little surprised you're not seeing anyone, though. A lot of girls would kill to be with you."

"My father never approved of anyone I dated, which only made me want them more." Damon explained. "What about you?" He asked Jenna.

"There were a few guys. Logan isn't the only loser I've dated." Jenna said. Margret was surprised to hear that.

"They ever find him? Or is he still missing?" Damon asked.

"He's not missing. He's in the Bahamas working on his tan. Very entitled, that one. Marches to his own drum. He's foul. They're all snooty." Jenna said.

"Wow. You sound just like Melody." Margret said. "Then again, in you're case, everything is true." Elena walked into the room.

"Hello, Elena."

"Hey. Where have you been?" Jenna asked her.

"Is Stefan with you?"

"He'll be here soon." Elena told him.

"Elena. Can we talk in the living room?" Margret asked. They left the kitchen. "Are you really working on a project with them?"

"Sort of." Elena told her. "Look, I kind of got roped into it. Besides, it's probably better if I don't fight them on this one."

"Okay, but I'd watch myself around Damon if I were you."

"I can protect myself around him, don't worry about that." Elena told her.

Margret was reading in the living room when Jeremy came in. "Hey. Anything new?"

"No, just trying to avoid her again." Jeremy said

"You know you're gonna have to see her sooner or later." Margret pointed out.

"I choose later." Jeremy told her. Margret got up and left. She overheard Damon and Elena talking.

"There was a time when I trusted him more than anyone." Damon said.

"Trust breeds trust. You have to give it get it." Elena told him.

"Are you lecturing me?"

"Do you need to be lectured?"

"I just want her back. I'm sure you can understand that."

"I can understand that you would do anything for her, yes."

"Then you understand what I will do If anyone gets in my way."

"Everything okay in here?" Margret asked, walking in.

"Yeah, we're fine, Margie." Elena said.

"It didn't sound that way to me." Margret told them.

"I'm sorry, could you give us a minute?" Elena asked. She led her sister into the hall.

"Okay, what is going on here?"

"Well, you see, there's this girl that Damon's in love with and she's sort of in trouble." Elena told her. "We agreed to help him save her."

"That explains a lot about him." Margret said.

"Yeah, it does." Elena said. A few minutes later, she was reading in the living room while the guys played a video game.

"You said you never played this thing before." Jeremy pointed out.

"I'm a fast learner. Quick reflexes." Damon told him.

"Please, even I can beat him at this thing." Margret said. "Jer would never admit it, though. Too embarrassed to lose to a girl."

"More like my twin." Jeremy pointed out.

"You're twins?"

"Most people can't see the resemblance." Margret said. "Though they say I have my sister's eyes."

Jeremy's phone rang, but he ignored it. "Who are you dodging?" Damon asked him.

"This girl Anna. She can be, uh, persistent." Jeremy explained.

"Is she hot?"

"Yeah, but she can be weird." Jeremy told him.

"Hot trumps weird, trust me." Damon said.

"Do you only care about your girlfriend for her looks?" Margret asked him.

"No. Though I will admit she is very beautiful, but she let me see a side of her very few people know about. That's why I fell for her."

In the kitchen, Elena was with Jenna. "What are you doing with all this stuff?"

"I thought there might be something About my birth parents." Elena told her.

"Have you told them?" Jenna asked.

"I will. When the time is right." Elena said. The doorbell rang. "That's Stefan." Damon left, leaving the twins in the room.

"So, you wanna play a few rounds?" Jeremy asked.

"Bring it on, brother." Margret said.

An hour later, they were both talking about it. "Man, I cannot believe you crashed into me." Jeremy said.

"How's that even possible in this game?" Margret asked.

"I don't even know." They headed out of the room, only to run into the others. "So...I heard you found a really cool journal from back in the day." Damon said. "Who else did you show it to?"

"Huh?"

"Don't ask questions, just spill."

"You're kidding me, right?"

"I don't think he is." Margret told him.

"Jer, did you tell anyone other than Mr. Saltzman about Gilbert's journal?" Elena asked.

"Why is everybody so obsessed with that thing?" Jeremy asked. Margret looked at him surprised that he said exactly what she was thinking.

"Who else did you tell?"

"Just that girl Anna." Jeremy said.

"The hot weird one?" Damon asked.

"Yeah."

"Wait, who is Anna?" Stefan asked.

"Apparently this cute girl who has a crush on Jeremy." Margret told him. Jeremy looked at her.

"She's more like a stalker."

"How do you know her?" Damon asked him.

"I just know her." Jeremy said. "She wants me to meet her at the Grill tonight."

"Perfect. I'll drive. Come on. Okay."

"Why's everyone into our family history all of a sudden?" Margret wondered.

"I don't know, maybe we've become popular around here." Elena said. "We've got some studying to do, so we'll be upstairs."

Margret watched them go upstairs, thinking there was no way those two were just studying. A few hours later, Stefan came downstairs. "You know you're not staying the night, right?" Jenna asked.

"We're just going to hang out For a little while." Stefan told her.

"So, were you guys really studying up there?" Margret asked.

"Yeah."

"Whoa. I was way off on that one."

"You're lucky I like you." Jenna told him. "Keep the door open."

"You got it. Hey, do you have any aspirin."

"Yeah." Jeremy walked back in at that moment.

"Oh, hey, Stefan. Where'd she go?" Jeremy asked.

"She went to the bathroom."

Where'd who go?" Stefan asked.

"He has a friend over." Jenna explained.

"Really? Which friend?" Margret asked.

"Anna."

"I thought you said she was a stalker."

"Well, I wanted to be nice to her." Margret looked around and noticed Stefan had disappeared.

"Where'd Stefan go?" That got their attention.

"He was here a minute ago." Jenna said.

"Maybe he went upstairs to help Elena." Jeremy said.

"Maybe." Margret said. She wasn't sure what to think of all this. On one hand, Elena did seem to have a headache earlier. But then again, she wasn't sure who she could believe these days.

"I'm sure it's nothing, Margret." Jeremy said.

"Maybe you're right, Jer." Margret said. "But still, I keep feeling that something is wrong here."

A/N: I had so much trouble writing this chapter, since I couldn't really find anything for Margret and her friends to do. I promise the next one will be a lot better. Anyway, it sounds like she's starting to get pretty suspicious of what's going on with Elena and the others. What do you guys think? Is she onto them?
