Tyler greeted the townspeople as they entered the mansion. He looked up, spotting Vicki standing in the crowd, smiling in his direction. He stiffened checking if his parents had noticed her. Tyler knew he couldn't be seen with Vicki, he also knew his mother had set him up with Rose and if he abandoned her for Vicki his mother would be angry and disappointed.
Tyler struggled internally, the expectant look on Vicki's face made him feel guilty by the second.
The crowd seemed to split, and the path cleared out as she walked. The guests whispering amongst themselves about how beautiful Miranda and Greyson Gilbert's oldest child had grown up. Tyler found his eyes roaming over her body and the exposed flesh, his heart beating faster his palms becoming wet with sweat. His jaw went slack as he took in the girl he was falling for, walking up the steps like a Goddess.
Rose's dress was low cut in the front, just falling over the flesh of her breasts enough that she was not flashing the entirety of Mystic Falls. The dress pooled at the floor, splitting dangerously high on her thigh just below where her underwear would have been revealed. The bottom half of the dress had two layers; the top was made of sheer black material. Rose had her hair pulled back into a large bun on top of her head, save for the twin curls that framed her face. She wore her usual makeup, which some people would consider more grunge, and simple accessories consisting of a silver band choker and medium-sized hoop earrings.
Tyler smiled as she climbed the stairs, the slit in her dress parting revealing the black-tie leg heel she wore. "Rose, you look stunning!" Carol exclaimed pulling her into a hug, the woman kissing each other on their cheeks. "So do you, Carol, as always. Thank you for my date, by the way." Rose smirked back at Tyler drawing a blush out of him. "Only doing my job as his mother. Go on inside, enjoy the day you two." Carol was eager to get her son inside, and with Rose. Far away from the girl waiting in the crowd. Rose kissed the mayor in greeting before turning to her secret/not-so-secret lover.
Rose leaned towards Tyler's outstretched arm, looking into it. Rose narrowed her eyes as Tyler looked over his shoulder, no doubt in Vicki's direction. She felt anger and possession course through her body. Tyler was her plaything, and she wanted his full attention. To have that, Vicki needed to go. Rose let go of Tyler's arm, which forced him to look at her. They were inside the house but still visible from where Vicki was standing. Rose reached up and cupped a hand around his neck, scratching the nape where his hair ended. She placed her other hand on his chest, steadying herself, leaning up, and kissed him softly. Tyler's eyes closed at the contact, but hers remained open, the yellow of her best friend's dress easily spotted. When the kiss ended Rose didn't pull away, instead, she leaned her head against his own, a small smile on her face. "I know you're Mom forced this on you… you don't have to stay with me."
Rose saw the look in Tyler's eyes change, whatever thoughts he had about Vicki were pushed away and she had the teen's full attention. "No. I'm here. With you. It's where I want to be. Promise." He kissed her this time, drawing it out more. Rose smiled at Tyler as he offered her his arm again, directing them further inside the building.
She spared a discreet glance to the crowd outside. The image of Vicki Donovan running away, no doubt a broken heart accompanying her, sent a pleasant thrill down her spine. Rose understood now why Damon loved to meddle and disrupt human lives. It was fun.
Rose had spent the day by Tyler's side. The pair making a show for his mother, then slinking off to his room for some time alone. Rose shut his door gently to prevent waking Tyler from his slumber. She made her way to the bathroom, intending to right her appearance. Rose barely registered the voices before her sister came storming out of the door, a glare etched on her features. Elena stopped short, preventing a collision in the hallway. "Rose!" The brunette exclaimed, before narrowing her eyes at her sister. "I don't know what the hell you're relationship with Damon Salvatore is but he's hurting Caroline and if you knew about it you're just as bad as he is!" Elena stormed off after her speech disappearing around the corner.
Rose felt hot anger boil in her gut. Her fangs extended and her eyes changed as she pushed the doorway open, finding a sobbing Caroline inside. The blonde was startled at her sudden entrance, stumbling back towards the wall to try and put distance between her and the vampire. Rose glared at the blonde speeding towards her and grabbing her around the neck.
Caroline gasped out air as Rose choked her. "What did you tell her!?" The dark-haired girl shouted making Caroline flinch in fear her eyes clenching shut. Rose felt her irritation and loathing for the girl spike but she reined her emotions in. The blonde had sabotaged Damon but if Rose attacked her here it would only make the situation worse. Rose gripped Caroline's arm hard enough to bruise, pulling the girl behind her. "Come on! And don't speak to anyone."
They pushed through the crowd, Rose intent on finding Damon.
Stefan looked up, Spotting Damon and Rose, pulling Caroline along. Stefan winced internally as he looked back at Elena. "I'm so sorry I have to go!" He rushed away before she could say anything, keeping an eye on the vampires ahead of him.
Stefan hid, focusing on his hearing as the trio stopped. Rose pushed Caroline roughly towards Damon who gripped her hard as she struggled. Caroline stammered out excuses to Damon who was glaring at her silently. Stefan saw Rose glaring at the blonde, her face changing in her anger. "Damon! Kill her! She's a loose end now!" The young vampire growled out, motioning to the human between them. Stefan could see the war waging on Damon's face, whether to kill or spare Caroline. "Do not tell me you feel for her!" Damon's head snapped to Rose, glaring at her now. "Watch it, Rose!" Damon said lowly, the warning clear in his tone. Rose glared at her friend, confusion, and anger filling her up. "They're food, they're our playthings! They do not matter! You taught me that! She'll end up ruining everything you've worked for. Get rid of her… Or I will."
Stefans eyes widened as Damon threw Caroline to the ground, speeding towards Rose stopping directly in front of her. They breathed heavily, staring into each other's eyes for a moment before Damon threw his hands up backing away from Rose. "Fine!" He shouted at her, picking Caroline up off of the ground.
Stefan frowned at the exchange, it was like they had had a whole conversation with just their eyes. Damon circled the blonde, looking to Rose again this time with a smile on his face. "You make me crazy you know that?" The grey-eyed girl smirked walking towards Caroline. Rose faced Caroline while Damon stood behind her.
Damon kissed the blonde's neck lightly, maintaining eye contact with Rose. The younger vampire felt her body light up as she moved forwards, kissing the other side of Caroline's neck, fangs grazing her flawless flesh. "I am so over you now."
Rose smirked at Damon's words, the vampire duo biting into the girl together. They held her up with their strength as she began to lose consciousness while they fed.
Stefan approached as the vervain took effect. Rose never having been exposed to the poison before fell unconscious immediately, leaving Damon weak on the ground. "I knew I couldn't spike your drink so I spiked hers." Stefan watched as the fight left Damon, succumbing to the effects of the vervain.
