Pulling up right in front of the Salvatore boarding house, Elena noticed Damon's blue Camero parked right out front. She has been trying to reach out to him for weeks now ever since that night at the Lockwoods. Elena thought they were actually getting along and she actually thought Damon was starting to like her as much as she was starting to like him, but he's been avoiding him lately and she wasn't sure why. Pulling her keys out of the ignition, Elena sighs deeply as she pushed her door open and got out of her car.

Reaching for the door knocker, Elena knocked on the door a few times. She then took a step back as she waits for Damon to answer or at least let her in. But when she watched the door open and saw it wasn't Damon, she sighs in disappointment.

" Hi, Stefan. I was hoping I could talk to Damon."

" He's kinda busy right now."

" Too busy to talk?" Elena asked as she sighs for a moment." Stefan, I just need to talk to him. He's been avoiding me and he hasn't returned any of my calls either. What's so important that he can't talk to me?"

" I can't really answer that right now."

" What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Elena asked as she crossed her arms over her chest and stares at Stefan. Elena is already getting pissed off right now and she really doesn't have time for games.

" Look, Elena, Damon can't talk right now, but I promise he will call you in a couple of days," Stefan answered calmly as he didn't want to raise his voice at her.

Elena dropped her arms down her sides as she rolled her eyes in annoyance." Whatever just make sure Damon calls me." Elena said as she turned around and headed back towards her car.

After Stefan watched Elena drive away, he closed the door behind him as he turned around and walked into the living room as he found Damon sitting in his favorite chair with a glass of Bourbon in his hand.

" Thanks, I can't deal with her right now," Damon said as he took another drink of his bourbon.

" You're going have to talk to her sooner or later, you can't keep avoiding her Damon, and I can't keep covering for you either," Stefan responded as he crossed his arms over his chest.

" Nobody never asked you to cover for me Stefan, and as far as I am concerned I think it's best if Elena just stays away for a while," Damon said as he got up from his chair and walked towards his minibar, and poured himself another glass.

" Why? I thought you liked Elena."

Damon threw his head back as he took a huge drink of the bourbon." Of course, I like Elena, Stefan. But I can't get distracted right now, because if I end up getting too distracted I can't go through with my plan."

" ahh, the master plan, right, and what exactly is that master plan?" Stefan asked. For a few months now Stefan has been trying to figure out Damon's plan and so far he has been coming up empty.

" Nice try Stefan, but we both know I am never going to tell you my plans since you're just gonna have to figure that out for yourself. But good luck in trying though." Damon answered with a smirk as he slapped Stefan's back before heading back upstairs into his room.

" Do you really think he has a master plan?" Zach asked as he looked up from the book he was reading.

" He came back to Mystic Falls for a reason, so yeah I do. Besides, I wouldn't put it past him either. I am gonna go over to Caroline's, I will be back later. Just keep your distance from him." Stefan suggested as he grabbed his car keys.

" Don't worry I will be fine," Zach responded with a nod.

Stefan nods his head as he walked out of the front door and closed the door behind him.

Damon sat on the edge of his bed as he kept staring at Katherine's photo, the only photo he had of her. In 1864 Damon had fallen in love with Katherine Pierce and he would have done everything for her. Elena. Gilbert may be the dead ringer for Katherine and true he's very attracted to her, there's no denying that. But his heart always belonged to Katherine Pierce and nothing will ever change that.

Both Stefan and Caroline spent about twenty minutes making out on her couch. Caroline slowly pulls back so she can catch her breath, but also she wanted to talk to him about something." Halloween is coming up and the school is gonna have a Halloween carnival with a haunted house." She said with excitement in her voice.

" So...?"

" So, I thought maybe we could go together, and maybe get dressed up in one of those Halloween couple costumes," Caroline answered as she bit her bottom lip as she smirks for a moment.

" Why do I get a feeling you already picked out our costumes," Stefan said as he raised his brow for a moment.

" That's because I already did," Caroline said as she smiled sheepishly.

" Caroline," Stefan said with a sigh.

" Oh, come on Stefan, it's Halloween and I honestly don't wanna be one of those couples who are not wearing a costume this year. Besides once you see the costume I picked out for you, your gonna love it." Caroline said as she smirks slightly.

" I highly doubt it, besides I'm not really into Halloween," Stefan responded with a shrug.

" Seriously?"

Stefan nods his head." Ever since Damon kept stealing all my Halloween candy when we were kids, I stopped going trick or treating all together. He kinda took all the fun out of it. Besides my most favorite holiday is Christmas."

" Well, can you at least do this for me?" Caroline asked softly as she moved closer and started to kiss on his favorite spot, which is just right behind his ear." Please, Stefan."

" Well... I guess I can be persuaded." Stefan answered with a smirk.

Caroline grins even bigger as she nods her head." see, I knew you would see it my way." Caroline said as she smirks against his lips as she kisses him passionately and deeply as she wrapped her arms around his neck and climbs on top of his lap and straddles him as she moans against his lips.

Stefan held on to her waist tightly as he pulls her even closer to him, He slides his hands up and under her shirt as he gently and slowly run his fingertips against her soft skin. He moves his hands a little further up as he gently grazed against the bottom of her breast. He smirks as he got up from the couch as he wrapped her legs around his waist and speeds upstairs into her room and closed the door behind him.

Walking into the house, Elena noticed Jeremy was sitting at the kitchen table doing homework, which she never thought she would actually see the day her brother actually doing homework. But ever since Mr. Salezman gave Jeremy another chance. A due over, Jeremy has been trying to keep his grades up and it looks like he's been trying.

" What are you working on?" Elena asked as she walked into the kitchen and got a drink out of the fridge. She then joined him at the kitchen table.

" Mr. Salezman wants me to do a report on the town history, more specifically Vampires," Jeremy answered as he continued writing.

" Vampires?" Elena asked with a snort. Come on Jer, Vampires are not real."

" Yeah, that's what I told Mr. Salezman. But he seems to think they are especially. with all of those animal attacks that have been happening lately." Jeremy just shrugged his shoulders as he got up from the table and gathered his stuff." All I know is that Mr. Salezman wants a report by the end of the week and I am gonna give him one, I am gonna go to the library and do more research, I will be back a little later." He said as he walked out of the back door.

Elena just shook her head as she took a huge drink of her water, Heading upstairs into her room. Elena walked towards her bed and pulled out her diary from under her mattress. She then sat back against the headboard and opened up her diary to a new page.

Dear Diary,

I am crazy to think Damon and I actually have something going on between us? At least I thought we did, That night at the Founders party over the Lockwoods when Damon and I danced together, I felt something. I actually felt safe being in his arms, and I could have sworn Damon felt something too. But it's been two weeks already and Damon has been avoiding me, and for the life of me can't understand why. Now on top of everything else, Mr. Salezman has Jeremy doing a report on Vampires. Which sounds crazy, since Vampires are not real. Right? But then again I never thought witches were real, not until my best friend told me she was one and made me promise to never tell anyone, and I never will. So maybe vampires do actually exist, I just hope I don't come face to face with one.

After Elena wrote that last line, she sighs deeply as she closed her diary and closed her eyes for a moment. Elena heard there have been animal attacks going on lately in Mystic Falls, but she never thought it could be vampires. Shaking the crazy thought out of her head, Elena laid down and closed her eyes, and took a nap before dinner.

AN: I thought about turning Vicki and have her killed just like in the show, but I decided not to do it in this story, Matt isn't really my favorite but I figured at least in this story he could at least have his sister around. Also, I am more likely going to bring Katherine and Valerie into the story, but in the later chapters though. Kinda following some events from the first season but in a different way. In an AU way. Happy reading everyone! Leave some reviews!
