Dakota's POV

It's been four days since Damon was locked up. Serena paid him a visit last night and gave him a small vial of blood. He understood our position and wanting to remain neutral in his and Stefan's fight. He said he'd be breaking out today and to not be home. So We decided to go to the Sexy Suds Car Wash to help out. Out perfect alibi.

"No friend discounts. No freebies. No pay ya laters. We are not running a charity here. No, we are not" Caroline tells us.

"No we are not" we all repeat. We all get to work while she went to remind my brother and Elena. That it's sexy suds. I just focused on the car Serena and I were doing.

"You girls look great" Caroline tells us.

"Thank you" Serena says.

"We're here all day" I tell her.

"Excellent, do you know where your twin is?" she asks Serena.

"Out of town, but I'm sure he'll be back sooner then we all think" she states.

"Good, he has some major explaining to do" Caroline tells us. "Anyway, I have to get to the till" she states. Before leaving us to it.

"So any guys catch your eye?" Serena asks me.

"Nope, their all childish and immature" I tell her. She chuckles. "Though I can admit some of them are looking hot today" I admit. "You know I hear they're having a Halloween party here Halloween night. Do you want to go?" I ask her.

"Sounds like fun, we could b cheerleaders" she states.

"Sounds like a plan to me" I tell her smiling. "So any progress on that problem we talked about?" I ask her.

"I found someone to take care of it, but I need to find a way to contact them" she states.

"One word sister, Slater" I whisper.

"You're a genius little sister" she tells me.

"I know" I say smugly.

"But I want to find out why Damon is in town before doing that. He's up to something" she tells me. I nod my head reluctantly. We hear a girl squeal and turn to see Tiki soaking wet, Matt holding a hose.

"Wet and wild, Tiki" he tells her chuckling. I chuckle shaking my head. I notice Stefan alone while Elena was at the till with Caroline.

"I'm going to go help Stefan" I tell Serena.

"Go, this one's nearly finished anyway" she tells me. I sneak up behind Stefan and throw a sponge at him.

"Oh, you're in for it now Dakota" he tells me glaring playfully. I squeal and we run around the car at a human speed. Until he catches me.

"I'm sorry, please not the hair" I plead giggling.

"You're lucky I love you" he tells me.

"As I love you brother" I tell him smiling as we get back to cleaning the car. "So you dumped Elena yet?" I ask and he gives me a pointed look. "I hate seeing you and Damon repeat history, you should date someone who looks nothing like that bitch Katherine" I tell him.

"I think if you gave her chance, she'd grow on you" he tells me.

"Not a chance" I tell him as I grab the hose. "What are you going to do when she eventually figures out our secret? Do you really think she'll stay with you?" I ask him.

"I don't know Dakota, I hope so" he tells me. "But I don't plan on telling her that anytime soon" he states.

"It's not just your life your risking Stefan. It's all of ours" I remind him.

"She wouldn't tell anyone" he states.

"She's a Gilbert and we all know what happened to Pearl when she trusted a Gilbert" I remind him.

"That was a hundred and forty five years ago. Things are different now" he assures me. I notice Elena heading our way.

"Gotta go, see you at home" I tell him before leaving.

"Caroline is gone" Serena tells me in a whisper. I nod my head and help her get started on the new car. No doubt Damon summoned Caroline to go free him. Shame I was just starting to like her.

(Time skip)

It's now afternoon and Tiki has put herself in charge. Elena is no longer hear. Anyway Tiki gave Bonnie and a broom and told her to sweep. The next thing I know Bonnie sets the ground on fire. It headed for Tiki's care that started to burn. Stefan, Serena and I rushed over to Bonnie. We snapped her out of her trance.

"What just happened?" she asks us confused.

"You were kind of in a trance" Stefan tells her.

"No, she was diffidently in a trance" I correct him.

"Did I do this?" she asks looking at Tiki's car.

"Yes, but no one was hurt" Serena assures her.

"Nobody else saw, did they? Don't tell anybody. Please" Bonnie pleads.

"We won't" we assure her.

"Is there anywhere we can take you?" Serena asks her.

"I notice you didn't drive" I add.

"Can you take me to my grandmother's?" she asks us.

"Of course" Serena tells her.

"See you at home Stefan" I state. We left with Bonnie. While he went to talk to Matt. Serena drove us to Bonnie's gram's house. She then drove us home and we find Stefan holding a dead Zach. "Damon you idiot" I muttered with Serena. Stefan left to go upstairs and Serena went after him. Leaving me to deal with Zach's body. I sigh and close his eyes. "I'm so sorry this happened Zach" I tell him.

I hear the front door open upstairs. "What are you?" I hear Elena say and groan. Can things get any worse?
