"MYSTIC FALLS, 18 Years Ago"

Caroline groaned at 1:00 Am in the morning.

It had been years since all the stuff that has happened to her as a teenager and a adult and as of right now, she was trying to get some peace and quiet.

But she couldn't get that. She sighed preparing herself. Her hair was tied into a topknot bun as she wore leopard print pink pj's. She went into the other bedroom down the hall.

She then flipped the floral pritten light on as she heard cooing and saw her daughter Charlotte.

She was beautiful baby. She had a head full of curly blonde hair with a cute little nose and tiny hands which she was using right now to hold herself up.

She did however have her father's dark blue eyes and pearl-white skin.

She babbled to herself as she wore a blue onesie with a giant rainbow on it which was a gift from her father, who was off in New Orleans.

"Charlotte sweetie, mommy has a big day ahead of her, and she would love to get some sleep."

Charlotte saw her mother not given her any attention and started to cry as she picked up her toy which was a wooden princess another gift from her father as she threw it.

Caroline turned off the night light and picked up the wooden princess Charlotte's father carved for her.

"Hey Bunny-Boo your father would kill you if your dad found out you threw this." as Charlotte bounced on her legs.

Caroline went over to her daughter before picking her up. Charlotte clinged onto her mother as Caroline smelled her diaper before pulling away "Oof ok, that's why your crying."

She brought Charlotte over to the changing table and began to change her diaper. Charlotte squealed at the action.

"That is not funny." Caroline told her daughter as she kissed her stomach when she heard "She's stubborn."

Which is when she turned to see Klaus Mikealson, her old lover and Charlotte's biological father.

He smiled to Caroline. He wore a navy blue sweater with jeans and combat boots as he wore a fancy jacket over neath. "Klaus ?" Caroline said gently.

"Hello luv." he said as Charlotte began to cry kicking her legs which is when Klaus saw his fussy daughter.

"Awe." he said gently as Caroline put her hair behind her ear saying "You know, you could have called before popping up." as Klaus asked "Can't check on my daughter ?"

Caroline gave him a look as he put his coat on the side of the rocking chair which Caroline build herself.

Charlotte fussed as she cry. Caroline had manged to get the diaper on at that point. "She's been keeping you up all night ?"

"It's been like this for the last three weeks, she won't sleep at all, I've tried everything from singing to feeding." as Klaus saw this and picked up his daughter.

She whined but then she saw her father, Charlotte had gotten use to recognizing faces. "Hey." Klaus said gently as he wiped his daughter's eyes.

"That work's too." Caroline said as he brought himself to the rocking chair and began to rock in it, and held his daughter to his's chest.

"Your good at this." Caroline noted to him as he said "Well, when you already raising one daughter's already life has it's perks." as he rubbed his finger over Charlotte's check.

Caroline crossed her arms asking "Is she a hybrid ?"

Klaus rose his eyes as Caroline said putting the towel on her shoulder "I-I mean you know I don't have a problem with her being a hybrid I'm just worried that's all I mean, is she a vampire, a witch both ?"

Klaus laughed at Caroline's curiosity as he added "She's a hybrid."

"Of ?"

"She's a mix between a vampire and a werewolf, she has vampire blood in her body and get's the werewolf gene from me."

"So all she has to do is either kill someone or be killed, perfect that it, she's never learning how to ride a bike." she joked at the end as Klaus laughed.

"Klaus, I mean I've seen the whole werewolf transformation, I don't wanna see her go through that at all, she's to precious for that, I mean look at her cheeks there so chubby."

Klaus of course didn't want his daughter to go throw it either, "That won't be a problem." as Caroline rose her eyes before Klaus showed her a tiny gold dove bracelet.

Caroline walked over taking it from her, "Oh my god it's beautiful." as she asked "What does it do ?"

Klaus said "It will suppress her werewolf gene from activating, I've had a powerful witch cast the spell as long as she wears the bracelet she'll be just fine."

"So no freaky bone snaps or wolf fangs." as he said "Exactly, love." as Caroline went over to Charlotte knelled down and snapped the bracelet on her arm.

It was a perfect fit. "Thank god for witches." as Klaus said "Sometimes you want to kill them, other times they proved to be quiet useful."

"She's not going to remember any of this when she get's older I hope you know that."

Klaus who looked down to see Charlotte had fallen asleep went over to her crib and gently placed her in as he tucked her into bed.

"I don't want her to know anything about me."

Caroline gave a dumbfounded look asking "Why I mean she's your freaking daughter ? Do you not know how much that is going to crush her not knowing who her father is ? I mean look at me I'm barely surviving Klaus, I'm a single mom to two other children and now with Charlotte I have my hands full."

"And the worst part is I can't go to the person who was there for me, for help, she's gone and day after day I always think about turning it off but I can't do that to Charlotte, I can't turn away from her, and neither can you."

Klaus sighed as Caroline shut the door to Charlotte's room as Klaus said "You know how my family is,  you know our story, how many enemies I've made, I can't have you and Charlotte constantly looking over your shoulders to see whether or not another person trying to kill you is near."

"I love Charlotte, she's my little high maintenance princess."

Caroline gave a short smile at the end before Klaus put Caroline's hair behind her ear, like he use to do when she was only a teenager.

He said "And we both know that her knowing me is dangerous." as Caroline sighed asking "Do you even know her full name ?"

Klaus eyes fell before Caroline added "It's Charlotte Isabella Forbes Mikealson, Mikealson Klaus, no matter how much you can go on saying you knowing her is dangerous, she's has Mikealson's blood and when she grows up may also have anger issues, but that's because wherever she is, she's still a Mikealson."

Caroline sighed before saying "I'm off to bed, hopefully you've changed your mind and morals." as Klaus eyes fell before Caroline grabbed her laptop from the table and left.

Klaus sighed before peaking into his daughter's bedroom to see Charlotte sleeping peacefully as he speed away...

I sighed taking the straw from my mouth asking "Do you think my mom hates me ?"

Mackenzie who was on her laptop doing some Italian work turned to me asking "What, Charlotte of course she doesn't why would you think that ?"

She said "Because she grounded me and the only reason your here is because she thinks where studying."

Mackenzie chuckled adding "Char, she's your mom, she loves you to death." as Charlotte adding "Yeah Yeah, I guess."

Mackenzie ask "How Stefanie ?" as I said "She fine, she said her mom  is going to be ok, she made it."

Mackenzie grunted saying "It's all apart of Grace's plan, and her knowing Ezra told us the plan is even worst."

I sighed flipping on my side as I used my hearing as I rose up adding "Pizza's here." as Mackenzie gave me a look before I said "Supernatural hearing." as she said "Oh yeah."

I went downstairs to my mom's kitchen. She wasn't home, and was off at work. She told me she wasn't going to be home until later tonight. I went to the door as the doorbell ringed.

The door opened as it revealed the male pizza as he said "Hey. It's gonna be $23." as he pulled the nice smelling pepperoni and cheese pizza.

"Kenz I need 23 dollars !" I yelled upstairs to her which is when I said to the pizza man, "You can in, put it right there." which is when the pizza man stood at the door longer before crossing the threshold into my house.

Mackenzie came down with her wallet in hand before pulling out her wallet and getting $23 dollars  as she said "Hi. Um, keep the change." as I took the pizza as Mackenzie playful rolled her eyes.

Mackenzie handed him the 23 dollars as the man took it as Mackenzie eyes shifted down to his name tag, "Jax." as he walked backwards out of the house.

"Thanks. And you two lovely ladies have yourself a good night." as me and Mackenzie smiled at him before Mackenzie closed the door.

Which is when the man turned around giving a clear smirk, putting a black hood on over his head, his eyes flashing to vampire ones before speeding away...

I wore a white button cropped shirt with a black plaid skirt a black tie, with diamond earrings and heeled black booties.

"Stefanie you haven't said anything since this session began." the school's therapist Julia said to me.

I locked eyes with her before chuckling adding "I mean what do you want me to say, yeah my year at this school has been absolute crap ?"

"I see you've turn on your snark this morning." as Stefanie gave a slit smirk saying "I'm trying to be the most honest I can be."

"Ok then." she said as she said "Let's start from the beginning." as I narrowed my eyes at her again as I said "Of what, my terrible life dealing with the consequences of my family's past ?"

"I know what happened to your mother Stefanie." as my eyes flash to my vampire ones for a bit before I sat back saying "This has nothing to do with my mom, she's fine."

"Well then, I do also know your going to attend The Mystic Falls 80's dance, tonight and from what your bio said you hate get together."

I didn't say anything which let me know, I was thinking of a reckless plan. "Stefanie what are you thinking of ?"

I gave a similar wicked smiled to Taylor's saying "I'm just going to go to the party, have some fun." as my bottom fangs showed themselves.

"Your a student Stefanie, let Alaric handle this."

I cut her off saying "No, Grace is invited into my family's house, my mother stabbed herself she was close to ending up dead, and you can tell me that this is just trauma from having the need to redeem myself because of all the blood that has been on my hands, or my stupid file is telling you all my problems, but I am putting a end to all this mess."

"Stef-" as she was about to say my full name before the clock ringed meaning my session.

I smirked. "Thank god, now I'm off." as I was about to walked away before she asked "And what is going to happen when you take on Grace and Taylor." as my eye twitch to my vampire ones before fading.

I closed the door the students where as they looked at me, my aggressive and rage probably steamed off of me, telling everyone to stay away.

I then walked past a corner only to run into Josie. My aggressive and rage panned down a bit. I thought she looked nice in her school uniform and brown colored blazer.

"Stefanie." Josie said as I put my hair out of my face saying, "Jo, um what are you doing ?"

Josie gave a little chuckle saying "Class, I thought you had Advanced Civics with me." as I looked down at the books in her hand as I noticed they where mine, but I was going to cut class today.

I gave a awkward stutter before saying "Sorry, I changed classes to-" as she gave me a look before I said "Math ?" as she said "Nice try." as she put the books in my hands.

I gave a short sigh fixing the books in my hand as I said "Josie, I have stuff to take care of." as we walked next to one another as she asked "What can be more important than school ?"

"Well, it's important ok." as she said "Ok that's suspicious." as I rolled my eyes which is when we made it to the door's of the classroom.

I looked at my phone seeing at text from Charlotte. A getaway I thought.

I smiled before Josie was about to in the room saying "I got to go. Charlotte needs me to help with party prep." as I gave her my books.

"Stef !" she yelled to me as I started to rush off "Tell her, I have a excuse." as she gave me a look before I grabbed my car key's going out of the door...

I went inside the kitchen as I saw Taylor. She was mixing blueberry muffins and listening to classic music.

She was adding the eggs one by one and adding vanilla aswell as putting salt, baking powder and adding milk with crushed blueberry's.

She wore a pine colored long sleeve shirt with black jeans and heeled black leather combat boots with a gold necklace and a black biker buckle strap cropped leather jacket.

"Taylor." I said to her with a short smile as she looked up to me smirking saying "Well hello Grace."

"I can see your baking, which I had no idea you could do."

I went to the fridge in order to get myself some fresh milk.

Taylor said taking the muffins out of the oven saying "It's best to try thing you haven't before, turns out making muffins ins't that hard."

I gave a slit smirk to her before I said "Ok, I know that we are both vampires, with some mediocre witches but having some milk wouldn't hurt." which is when Ezra came from the other room dragging a body behind her.

Her hair was in low side braid as she wore a dark draped blue dress with a black sweater and some brown boots with a gold heart necklace.

"And add some bleach." as me and Taylor looked at the body of a young woman, her neck having holes in it as Taylor asked "And what's this business?"

She gestured to the dead girl Ezra was dragging, which is when I licked my finger and Taylor turned to me before saying "So this was your doing ?"

I took a muffin out of bowl saying "I was a bit peckish Tay, Tay." as she told me "Your really going to exposes us." which is when I said "It will be fine Taylor, I do clean up my messes or well Ezra is."

Ezra gave a slit eye roll with a fake smirk which is when we heard someone coming downstairs as we saw Nia.

Her hair was put into a giant top knot and she wore a sleeveless floral print t-tank top with brown knee high boots and a feather necklace.

Ezra's eyes lit up when she saw her, I noticed. "Well this is a nice way to a good morning." as Taylor said "Ah, our new guest." as she vamp speed to Nia, who jolted which caused her to smirk.

"I have to say I do like it when Grace brings out good looking woman." as Nia chuckled as she got out a egg carton. Taylor noticed her New Orleans tattoo on her shoulder.

"Are you flirting with me Taylor Salvatore ?" which is when Ezra dragged the body outside to the back.

Taylor said "So you know who I am ?"

Nia said "Well, when a girl like yourself has made a big name for herself in not only Mystic Falls, New Orleans and Chicago, you would be stupid not to know who you are."

Taylor gave a short chuckle before Nia started to make the scrambled eggs. "I can apprentice the fact that your a powerful New Orleans witch, your going to be useful."

I added "Don't let her get in your head Taylor, she still needs to show loyalty." which is when Nia asked "Loyalty, wow are you that paranoid ?"

Taylor said "Well when everyone you ever trusted back stabs you, you would be to." as she gave  a slit smirk.

"Humph." which is when I asked "Well, I heared from around to is that is going to be dance."

Taylor rolled her eyes saying "This town has a dance everyday." which is when Nia said "Sounds cool, is it themed ?" which is when I said "80's."

"Oooh cool, are we going to go ?" Nia asked Taylor, she sighed "I guess we should, a nice dance before all the conflict I'm going to rain onto Mystic Falls."

Ezra walked in again dragging a trash can saying "I'm all for a dance before Taylor forces me to kill alot of innocent people, so who's going to die today ?"

Taylor handed me a bowl of cereal before said "Nobody." which is when she thought about it as

Nia gave her a look eating her eggs before I said "Alright, potentially everyone." as I turned to leave eating my bowel of cereal....

My hair was flat ironed and I wore plaid pants with a chain on them and grey shirt with heeled black combat boots and my old soccer leather man's jacket.

I was panting one of the set pieces for the dance, as I held my paintbrush that had a dark red paint on it, while standing right beside me was Charlotte.

She awed at the friendship necklace I just gave her. She wore a a denim jacket with a pink dress underneath and heeled brown booties as her hair was wavy.

"I still can't get over the pretty little diamond butterfly, Saige it's so beautiful thank you !" as she narrowed her eyes before asking "What's the occasion ?"

I smiled and said "Your welcome, there is no occasion, just a friendly gift." as Charlotte said "Lesbian best friend necklace? Cause we're freaky like that?" as she winked at me.

I blushed before noticing it was sarcastic adding, "Your friendship to me Char, is one of the most important things in my life, right next to my love for Raf, and Mackenzie, Stef, Josie and Lizzie."

"If you think about it, where kinda relate Saige. Bond sisters if you will." as she asked "Why are you being so mushy anyway ?"

I gave as short chuckle before she noticed "Oooh, is this because of a handsome,- as she crouched down saying in a whisper voice "Werewolf." who you've been getting down with ?"

I said "Me and Raf are doing great, I've never meet someone who is so understanding and down right perfect." as Charlotte joked "Awe true love."

I laughed which is when I looked to noticed Mackenzie, her hair was tied into a fishnet  braid and she was inside her truck, using her truck to help the other jocks pull out the heavy boombox station.

She wore a red long sleeve shirt, blue jeans, a green camouflage  jacket and reed combat laced up heels.

She got out and nodded to the jocks as they thank her as she helped them take the station off of her truck.

Around us many of Mystic Falls students where helping set up rather that was getting the tickets sold out or helping set up set pieces like me and Charlotte where.

"Hey !" I said to Mackenzie, she moved her braid from her as she said "Hey, I'm shocked Charlotte was able to convince you out of all people to help with the dance."

"I have my way's Kenzie." Charlotte said with a short smile before I rose up dusting my pants off saying, "I just wanted to help, my good deed if you will."

"Decides with all the hybrid mess that's going to ran down onto the school in 2 days, may as well."

"Has Hope and Dr. Saltzman figure out a plan yet ?" which is when Charlotte shook her head "Hope's been spinning, I'm planning to spend some quality sister, well half sister time with her."

"Exciting." Mackenzie said. Saige turned behind her only to see Stefanie, helping organize the songs.

The young Salvatore's hair which was a mix between dark brown and midnight black was in a high ponytail and she wore high wasted black cuffed denim shorts with a solid criss cross black shirt and black and white Vans.

"And why the h*ll is Stefanie here ?" I said which is when Charlotte said "Surprisingly, she volunteered to help me with decorating, isn't that sweet of her, and I didn't even have to beg."

"That's not like Stef at all." Mackenzie noted which is when I added "It ins't, I'll be back." as I went over towards Stefanie.

She wrote something down on the clipboard before she rose her eyes at me. "Saige, I didn't see you there, how is panting going ?"

"Stefanie we both know that you hate doing anything that has to do with decorating, your here at the school for a reason."

"I'm just helping Char, that's all." as she gave a fake smile which is when I folded my arms adding, "Please Stefanie, I was your girlfriend for years I know your lying face."

I peered deep into her eyes before I added "Plus I know your lying, wolf's can tell that, now tell me why your actually going to the dance, before I call Dr. Saltzman."

Stefanie blew her cheeks out saying "Fine, I'm not just here for the dance to be here, I'm here because I plan on taking Grace and Taylor out tonight."

I gave her a glare "And how are going to take two powerful 1000 year old vampires out by yourself ?" which is when she said "Since when did I say I was going to do this by myself ?"

She then started to walk with me, Mackenzie leaned into Charlotte side and asked "Do you know what there saying ?"

Charlotte said "I could try and here." as she moved her hair from her ear as she listen in. When Mackenzie saw Charlotte not telling her anything she asked "What do you hear ?" as she said "Ssh."

Her ears where focusing on all kind of different noises, to the beating of hearts, to cellphones ringing until she listened in on me and Stefanie.

"They're saying something about a plan." as Mackenzie said "A plan ? I wonder why Stefanie wouldn't tell us."

Charlotte stopped saying "I don't know, but she's planning something, and knowing Stefanie, is probably going to be dangerous." as the two looked at the young vampire...

"But hey that's my plan, so what do you think about it ?"

I rose my eyes at her, she asked "Hello Ezra, I need a witch's opinion, plus you live in the same house with the two vampires who almost killed my mom."

I put some pepper on my salad along with some ranch dressing before saying "You wanna know what I think Stefanie, I think your letting your angry get the best of you."

She gave me a dumbfounded look adding "I am not, angry is the only thing driving me right now, she tried to kill my mom, Grace is sending me a message that she can hurt anyone I love."

"My mom, my dad, Charlotte, Saige, Mackenzie, the list goes on, but she crossed the line when she made my mom put a sharp knife in her stomach."

"I understand that Stefanie, I do, but do you really want to bet all your chances that Saige is going to do the spell you asked her to do."

Stefanie's eyes dropped before saying, "I didn't tell her it was dark magic, the only reason I found the spell was because I snuck into Hope's room. It's a special vampire spell." as she went into her bag and pulled out the spell.

I reached across the table grabbing it as I scanned it, "Stefanie ! This spell is flooded with dark magic, what makes you think this can't kill Saige ?"

"Saige is a powerful Gemini Witch, decides she used blood magic to help me stop going all ripper, this won't be any different."

"Stefanie, I know your upset that with Grace, but your decision will not act the best when your angry, trust me I attacked Charlotte when angry and Grace, and now I regret using magic when filled with negative emotions."

Stefanie's looked to the side a small side of her meatloaf left.

I put my hand over her's before adding, "I know where not as close as you are with Mackenzie, Char or Saige, but I do care about you Stefanie and we are friends so please don't let your angry control you, because it will bring out the worse in you."

Stefanie removed her hand after a while before adding, "Most people's anger comes out of spite, my is filled with a reason."

My eyes dropped before she added "I have to go add some stuff to my costume, need some accessories." as I gave a sigh saying "Ok, I'll pay." as she said "Thanks."

Stefanie went off to the bathroom. She went inside before washing her hands as she cut the water off before she looked into the mirror to see a black hooded figure.

Stefanie gave a slit gasp before they rose her eyes at her seeing that they where vampire ones. They grabbed her by the neck and smashed her to the faucet.

Stefanie groaned as she gasped for air as the vampire said to her "You hit me with your car." as Stefanie froze before he said  "Nice of your friend Mackenzie to fix it up for you."

Stefanie's mouth hung before he added "You got away from me. You won't next time." which is when her eyes went to her vampire ones.

She kicked him the stomach as he fell back before he attacked her, grabbing her shoulders trying to reach for her next as Stefanie headbutted him and kneed him in the stomach.

He punched her as she fell back to sink spitting up blood before she punched the mirror grabbing the mirror shard and slicing his neck before grabbing him by his neck, her fingers covered in his blood.

She pushing him to the bathroom stall and slamming his head into the ground.

"Now that I seem to have your attention let me tell you something, if Grace wants to threaten me, you tell the little b*tch to come do it herself."

She slammed his head one more time before she reached into his chest and pulled out his heart. Stefanie took in a deep breathe, as her chest fell up and down.

She couldn't believe she just did that. That was her first time taking a vampire's heart out. She sighed before she dropped the heart on the ground.

She went to the sink to wash her hands as she brought the body into the bathroom stall as she closed the door before going outside.

She walked to her car and got her car keys out as she looked around to make sure she wasn't being followed before closing her car door.

She igniting the engine, reverses and speeding off down the road...

I flipped through a page as I read each line, "I was angry with my friend, I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe. I told it not, my wrath did grow. And I watered it in fears. Night and morning with my tears.

And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night 'Til it bore an apple bright. And my foe beheld it shine."

"And he knew that it was mine. And into my garden stole When the night had veiled the pole In the morning glad I see My foe outstretched beneath the tree."

I gave a little sigh before running my finger over the page of the poem. I then thought back to my past, when my dearest Klaus decided he wanted to undagger his brother Kol...

Taylor hair was in a curly bun and she wore a elegant white off the shoulder dress with lace designs on them with the New Orleans symbol engraved in them as she also wore expensive pearls which was a gift to her by Klaus.

She was walking to her room when she walked past the music room only to stop and look to see Marcel and Elijah.

Taylor's eyes fixed on the third eldest Mikealson. Taylor fancied Elijah, she also loved Klaus but Elijah with his manners and suits, it made her fall in love at first site.

Elijah stood by the piano and watched as Marcel tried to work his way through a song, Taylor thought Elijah would be a great father one day.

Marcel messed up a note which is when he sighed and said to Elijah "I can't do it!"

Elijah smiled and said "Now, you once said the same thing of your reading, and now you devour everything from sonnets to scriptures. So, devote yourself to your music, and soon you shall be Johann Sebastian Bach."

"But I want to play like you." Marcel told him as Elijah continued to smile at him as Marcel returned a smile, Elijah felt himself being watched as he turned around to see Taylor.

She leaned on the door as she gave a soft grin.

Elijah gave one back to her before they all heard clapping behind Taylor as they turned to see Klaus who looked drunk and in Taylor's mind smelled like it, she saw jealously in his eyes.

"Well, isn't this nice? My older brother and my ward, getting along like two peas in a pod."

"Along with my so called love watching them with motherly love." as Taylor gave a short eye roll.

Elijah turned to Marcel saying "We shall continue at another time. Why don't you resume your Hamlet? Act one, scene three today. Off you go!"

  Klaus waved at Marcel and stumbled drunkenly as he joins Elijah in the room which is when Elijah said "Congratulations, you've been drinking."

"You reek of alcohol." as Klaus turned to Taylor saying "Hush." as Taylor scoffed at him.

"Only to remedy the lifeless monotony that has overcome this household. You know, Rebekah's still pouting over the Governor's son."

"When you and Taylor threw him to his death and crushed his bones, did you imagine a different outcome?"

Klaus spoke as if he didn't care if Elijah said anything "You monopolize young Marcellus with schooling." which is when Taylor spoke up and said "He needs school Nikki, he's just a boy."

"That's the point, and out of everyone Lily Pad, I thought you would have my back, along with the fact you've been puppy dog eyeing Grace and Elijah all day."

Taylor's eyes dropped before Klaus poured himself a drink and sighed dramatically.

"He and I used to have such fun. If only there was someone with whom I could share a bit of roguery." which is when Taylor left along with Elijah as Klaus called out to them.

"Oh, yes! That's right." and with that they noticed he pulled out a white-oak-ash dagger before adding "There is!" as Elijah said "You didn't!" Taylor had no idea what was happening.

Klaus shurrged before flying Elijah and racing down to the courtyard of the compound.

Which is when Taylor saw him. Kol Mikealson.

He had to be the most handsome man she had ever seen. Him being covered in the servants blood made him even more hot. He had brown hair and dark brown eyes. His hair slicked up as he wore a half of a suit.

Kol has just finished viciously feeding on all of the servants. Once Kol was finished, he drops the last body onto the ground and cleared his throat loudly before clapping in applause when he sees his brother and Taylor approaching him.

Kol hadn't seen Taylor before. She looked angelic to him. He noticed her before noticing his brother. He saw her smooth glossy lips which gave him a urge.

"Bravo! That was delectable. But make no mistake, Nik-- I'm still cross that you daggered me. But, as far as apologies go, it's a start!" which is when Elijah said angrily to Klaus.

"So, this is your idea of fun?" as Klaus shurrged again asking "Well, you and Marcellus have grown thick as thieves... why should I be alone?"

Kol jumped down from the barrel before looking at Taylor, "And who is this." as Klaus said "This is Taylor Salvatore, she is a guest and friend to our family."

Kol asked "Let me guess your a simple minded vampire." that made Taylor raise her eyebrow at his arrogance, her eyes flashing to their amethyst purple and black ones. Kol saw.

"Ah, a hybrid just like Nik over there." as Klaus said "She's a powerful witch and vampire hybrid, I turned her."

"Well any friend of Nik, is a close friend of mine." as he grabbed Taylor hand and kissed it.

Taylor gave a mini squeal before he put her hand down, there hands still touching before Taylor smirked and said "I like you already Kola." as Kol smirked at her...

I missed Kol, I missed the Mikealson Clan period. I then dipped my bisect in tea and ate it.

I heard heels clicking before looking up to see Grace. Her hair was in deep curls as usual and she wore a long sleeve red shirt with a black leather pencil skirt and heeled black leather knee high boots.

I looked at her, "What have you been up to, I would have think you would have been helping me plan for the ritual, but you seem to be doing your own thing."

She turned to me before saying "I am busy Taylor, I've just been working on my own hobbies."

I asked "And what do those hobbies constant of ?" as she said "Working on a way, to stop the supernatural babies." as she went to my plate and got a bisect and ate it.

"I would expect that from you, taking care of my dirty work." as she gave a slit eye roll.

She then sat down as she put my legs on her legs before rubbing my knee and asking "My sweet Taylor."

I asked "Humph ?" as she asked "I was wondering, what are we going to be doing after you become a hybrid ?"

I sipped my tea saying "Well take over Mystic Falls of course, everything your uncle Klaus  couldn't do I will with you by my side." as I gave a mini smirk before Grace took in deep breathe.

I noticed, "If there's something you want to say to me Grace, I would get it out already."

"After you become a hybrid Taylor you won't need me anymore. You'll be all powerful. Being able to crack necks with a flick of your finger, I want to live my life Taylor."

I slowly rose my eyes at her from my poem.

She added "I want to see the world, have kids of my own something I gave up when following you around, I want to be happy, and after you are done with the ritual. I want us to go our separate ways."

She looked at me as I closed my book saying, "You see Grace, if you wanted to leave me after all theses years you would have, but you didn't, why are you now ?"

"Because I want have a life of my own, please." as my eye twitch quickly to my vampire ones before removing my legs adding, "As long as there is breathe in my body, I will continue to have you by my side."

Grace's eyes dropped  as I walked away book in hand outside...

I gave a dramatic short gasp, "Hope Andrea Mikealson !" as she grumbled "Here we go." as she said "This dance is surly not stupid, it's going to be the highlight of my Junior year."

"Yeah so why does it have to be mine ?" as I rolled my eyes "Your so not fab Hope." as she gave a slit eye roll before she asked "What are you baking?"

I said "Ah, theses my lovely half sister, is a Raspberry swiss roll, I'm going to have it be the main event at the dance."

"Charlotte, I love you, I support you and I care for you, but your ass at baking." as I said "Aw thank you Hope, love you to."

I gave her a look as she smiled at me.

She then asked "What are you wearing ?"

I rolled up my sponge cake before saying, "I think I'm going to have the best 80's outfit out of everyone."

I then pop the roll into the oven and dusted my hands off.

Hope then asked "Is there any other reason why you called me over ?"

I added "Can't a girl just love to hang with her favorite sister ?" which is when Hope said "I'm your only sister." as I said "I just want to hang out Hope."

I sat by the chair and cupped her hands.

"Now tell me about your boyfriend Landon." as she said "We've been great, good really, but really I can't wait till all this Taylor stuff is over with all of us to get back to our normal well semi normal supernatural lives."

"Amen." as she chuckled before we clinched her sodas together.

I took a tiny sip of mine before adding, "Ok, ok there is another reason why  I called." as she  took the soda from her mouth.

"I-I want to talk about our dad." Hope's eyes fell before I noticed saying "Or probably not, because it's a tough topic." as she said "No, Char, it's ok you can talk to me about dad."

I took in a deep breathe before saying, "I-I just, I don't remember him or really know him. The only thing I could recall is having this wooden princess since I was born."

She then went into her purse and pulled out a wooden princess.

Hope picked it up  as she ran her finger over the wood before smiling, "Dad made me one to, it was a knight instead of a princess, I loved it to death."

"A knight and a princess how poetic." as we smiled at one another. "I know you been going through such a rough pact with your mother, why are you mad at her ?"

"One, because. I don't know who else to be mad at but her. I mean I can always be mad at myself, for not seeing that he was my dad or be mad at my mom for not telling me. I even tried to blame him, but I can't." as slit tears came through my eyes.

Hope listen to me as I asked "Why did he raise you and not me ?" which is when Hope pulled me into a hug. I buried my face in her hair before we pulled apart as she got a tissue and wiped my eyes for me.

"I don't know why he chose to put you through that question and pain, but I do know that he loves you like as much as he loved New Orleans and as much as he loved our family. Your are everything to him Charlotte, so don't put yourself through that questioning anymore ok ?"

I wiped my eyes before me and Hope locked hands as she told me, "I know we found out we where sisters weeks ago, but I love you." as I gave a slit smile saying, "I love you to."

That's when Hope grinned before saying "Do you smell that ?" as I sniffed saying "Hmm." as we both looked  to the oven and saw black smoke coming out of her.

"The Roll !" I yelled as me and Hope both rushed towards it. I put on oven mitt's as I proceeded to take it out the oven.

I dropped it on the counter before Hope coughed as we fanned out the kitchen as she turned the oven off.

Me and her looked at each other before I grabbed a knife and cutting into the roll only for it to make a very crunchy sound, my eyes went wide before Hope busted out into laughter.

I then laughed to. "Ok, Ok your right, I'm not the best bakery." as Hope said "Yeah, you think." as I said "Maybe I'll pick something up from the grill to bring." as Hope nodded.

I then turned to her before we both giggled at one another as we licked the rest of the frosting out of the bowl...

"Well well, Nia Deveraux, what do you know." as she rose her eyes at me. Nia smiled adding, "Wow I didn't know I had fan in Mystic Falls."

"My best friend watches you all the time, she'a fan." as Nia said "Aw, tell her she sounds lovely and thanks."

She then looked to my name tag saying "Mackenzie Donovan." I said "Yep that's me."

I asked "You gonna be workin' here?" as she said "I could use some cash." as I cleaned one of the cups out before asking "What are thinking of busgirl ?" as she said "Actually cook line."

"We could use a new cooker actually, my co corker Amy McKittrick, can interview you."

Nia nodded "Thanks." looking me up and down as I said "Your welcome." which is when everybody turned outside to see my dad's sheriff truck pull up.

"Whoa what happened ?" Nia asked which is when I mutter "The h*ll." as my dad walked through the door, I went over to him and asked "Dad ?"

He saw me and said "Mackenzie thank god." as he hugged me as I gave him a hug back before asking "Is everything ok ?" which is when he had two more police offer's behind him as they went to the bathroom.

"Dad what is going on ?" which is when they came out with a body in a body bag. Everyone inside the room was shocked including myself. "Omg what happened ?"

One of my dad's police officer said "Found him in the stall, his heart on the ground." before  taking the body outside.

"Mackenzie, now I know you know what I'm thinking." as I folded my arms as the rest of the officers blocked off the bathroom.

"I know, and I don't want you to say it." as he asked "Do you think this was-" as he leaned down to me asking "A vampire ?" before I shook my head saying "No of course not."

"Come on Mackenzie you know that I trust your friends, but who else could have done this, was it Charlotte ?"  as I shook my head saying "No it couldn't be, she's was with Hope."

Which is when he sighed saying, "Then there is one more person I could think of, was it Stefanie." which is when I shook my head. Stefanie wouldn't do this.

She couldn't have. "Dad Stefanie wouldn't do this, it's to gruesome." which is when he said "I know her father, gruesome was in his vocabulary."

I added "Well you can't pin that on Stefanie, you've know her before I was even born." as he sighed saying to me, "I allow you to fight along side them Mackenzie, but be careful, because it looks like your enemies could be closer than you think."

I sighed my head dropping before my dad peeked my forehead put his hat on and walked out of the Grill.

I then looked back at the scene, before taking in a deep breathe pulling out my phone.

I dialed a number as  I put the phone to my ear and said "Hey, meet up with me, and come alone, we need to talk..."

Stefanie liked attention believe me, she smiled. She had changed into some conformable gym wear, which was a orange sport bra and matching leggings, her hair in the same ponytail with a headband on aswell.

I titled my head. I was wearing some grey shorts with a matching a loose green t-shirt with sneakers. I felt hands press onto my shoulders before seeing it was Rafael.

I gave a small chuckle, "Raf you scared me !" as he kissed my cheek saying "Sorry, you seem in a another world." as I smiled as he looked up to see Stefanie and the wolves.

"Since when did the pack like Stef ?" as I folded my arms saying "Since Stefanie learn how to lift 50 pound barbells."

As the wolves added another one which made Stefanie's ego go even more up saying "Ok, ok, watch this."

She let go of one with one hand and got out simply holding it with ease. The werewolves clapped even Jed. Stefanie giggled.

Even I know that was to strong with Stefanie, I didn't want to think she would have feed but I felt that feeling deep withing my stomach.

She then throw the barbell to the wall before turning to the werewolf pack asking "Ok then, what next ?"

Which is when I stepped up saying "Ok, ok guys that's enough, I'm pretty sure if I wasn't here you would be having Stefanie try and lift the school."

They all laughed before I said "Now give me some laps." as the wolves ran around.

Stefanie chuckled saying "I think the pack likes me." as I said "Yeah they do." as she went to the seat and grabbed her duffel bag and drunk her water before I asked "Stefanie ?"

As she wiped her mouth asking "Yeah ?" as I took in a breathe saying, "Stef, I trust you you know that right ?" which is when she said "Yeah I know you do."

"Right which is why when I ask you this, it's as your best friend. Have you been feeding on humans ?" which is when she sighed saying "Saige."

I sighed as she said "Of course I haven't been feeding, I've just gotten stronger." which is when I looked to her neck seeing blood.  I walked up to her as I wiped the blood from her neck.

"Then what's this ?" as she looked to see the blood on my thumb. I rose a brow. "Saige, stop it ok, I'm going to go through with my plan, with or without your help."

"Stefanie, just promise me, you'll be fine I mean what if Josie finds out ?" as she folded her arms saying "Really the Josie card ?"

"Yes, I just want you to be ok." which is when she sighed saying "I'm fine ok, well people stop worrying about me ?" which is when a magical note came into the air.

"Who's in trouble with headmaster Saltzman ?" Jed asked the pack had been come to a stop from their laps.

I pulled the note down as I opened it before looking straight at Stefanie. "Well, it's for Stefanie."

Stefanie took in a deep breathe, before leaving the room as I looked back at her with a sigh...

My hair was also in a up do as I cleared my throat. He looked up at me. "Stefanie." he said to me with a slit smile.

I hadn't been talking to Dr. Saltzman since I accidentally feed on Josie, since then stuff has been strange between us. I gave a slit grin back.

"Hey." I said to him as I sat down. He closed the book he was reading as I asked "Book about the curse ?"

He rose his eyes at me before I said "I know your trying to find a way to keep me from being Taylor bait, it's not going to happened Rick." as he said "It will, I know it will, because I made a promise to your parents to keep you safe and that's what I'm going to do."

"Fine by me, waste your time." as he sighed before telling me "You should be on the low the last thing we need is Taylor looking for you."

I sighed saying "Don't worry, I'll find her before she me." as I saw the candy in his candy bowl as I dug my hand inside grabbing the sour candy and the mini chocolates.

I pop them into my mouth as he showed me the book he was reading, "Found it in the library, explains everything about Taylor's curse."

I flipped through some pages before noticing a symbol. It looked like something in Aztec. "Rick, you've seen this ?" he rose his eyes at me as I showed him the book.

"I've seen this book before." as he took the book before adding, "It helped us when we where dealing with the same thing with your mom."

"It's called the Sun and Moon curse. It was a ancient curse that a great shaman cast 1000 years ago on vampires and werewolves. Werewolves could only turn on able to turn on the full moon while vampires where weakened by the sun."

"So, werewolves "servants of the moon" and the vampires "slaves to the sun." as Alaric nodded to me, I blew my cheeks out swallowing my last piece of candy.

"So what are we going to do about me, and where I fit in to all this ?" I said with a slit smile as Alaric said "the blood of a "human." Petrova doppelgänger."

"Ergo me." I said but adding, "But I'm a vampire so." as Alaric said "Which doesn't effect the sacrifice as we know."

"So one on one I'm dead meat." as I groaned into my palms before Alaric said "I have a idea Stefanie trust me."

"Humph." I said to him as I rose from my seat going to the door,  he stopped me saying "Where going to keep you safe Stef."

"I bet." I said to myself before going to my dorm as I went inside locking the door one getting out the spell for Saige to do.

I also got out the small knife I had stole from the dark art's room of library as I saw my reflect in the blade before I took in a deep breathe and closed it..

She was wearing a black leather rolled up sleeve jacket with a black solid v neck shirt, acidic jeans and a stake on her jeans as her huntress tattoo's showed, her hair curly with waves.

The bartender gave her a shot of Bourbon before she gulp it down as she asked "Well it's good you listen to what I ask."

I gave a slit smirk, "Well it was either that, or what you where going to kill me Donovan ?"

I turned hand on my cheek, "Where you going to get your dad to lock me up for a very long time ?"

She removed the glass from her lip asking "Who needs my dad, when all I could simply do is stake you in the heart and go about my day, no need for violence, I just wanna talk."

"Ah talking your favorite thing to do with me."

I drunk my shot  before he poured me another one, "Last time we fought Mackenzie, I do recall me winning and you losing."  I gave a short chuckle at the end.

"Oops sorry my memory a bit foggy from those last couple of weeks ago." Mackenzie told me as she turned to me asking "There was a attack here, and I'm just weighing down my options."

"So you think it was me ?" which is when Mackenzie said "Can't you blame me, I mean you are you." she told me.

I chuckled before asking "Do you really think I would be that stupid to expose myself while feeding in the world of useless humans ?"

Her eyes fell a bit before I drunk my drink saying, "Let me be clear Mackenzie, this is what you lack the ability to use common sense, to think things out loud before you spit them out of your jaw."

"I do however know someone who doesn't have that amount of self control goes by the name "Stefanie Miranda Salvatore."

She turned to me before saying "Stefanie couldn't do this."

I added "I mean think about it, she's been alittle of the rails, what's not stopping her from, killing anyone who's heart beat's to heavy ?"

She shut her eyes before I smiled. "Your so cute when confused and delusional." 

I gave a smirk before she rolled her eyes saying "Shut up Taylor."

She step down from her stool before I said to her, "Mackenzie, all I want is to become a hybrid, it's not that hard to do and it's the easiest thing in the world if you and the rest of your super squad, just stop trying to fight me."

"Let me be clear then, your never getting Stefanie. Ever." as I smirked before I wrapped my hand around her throat and started to choke her slowly.

She gasped for air before I said "I've been trying to be as nice as I could, I attended the birthday and the barbecue party, put don't let this fool you Kenz, the only reason your not dead yet is because Charlotte likes you."

"S-So the only reason you haven't killed me yet is because of Charlotte, she'll never forgive you."

"Humph." as I removed my hand from her throat as she took in a suck of air before giving a deep cough in return.

"Have a nice day Mackenzie." I said in her ear as I walked away towards the door before walking outside...

Taylor then rose her eyes to look up and see Elijah who was pacing angrily and next to him was Grace.

She looked beautiful. She wore a bright yellow dress and some white slippers, she saw Taylor as she rolled her eyes going to the other room.

Kol saw that, "Who is that ?" as Elijah quickly said "Grace Petrova, another guest to the family, and no brother you shall not do anything with her." as Kol rolled his eyes.

"Forty-six. An entire tenement. Forty-six bodies drained!" which is when Kol said "Nonsense!" before he stopped and added " It was at least sixty!" as he smirked as Taylor giggled.

"Ah, they neglected to check the attic!" as Klaus laughed.

"Why do people always run to the attic? I mean, it makes no sense!"

Elijah annoyed said "It is difficult enough to keep our presence in the city a secret without the two of you doing absolutely everything in your power to draw attention to us."

"I'm surprised you have the time to concern yourself with us, given the hours you spend doting on Marcellus." Klaus said.

Taylor added into the conversation, "So the reason you've been acting like a two face jerk is petty jealous, that doesn't look well on you Nikki."

Which is when Elijah added "Is that what all this is about? You envy my bond with Marcellus? Niklaus, you brought that child into this home!" before he sighed in frustration.

"He's no longer safe here. I cannot allow him to remain." which is when Taylor rose her eyes now seeing the situation escalate.

Klaus stood up furiously saying "You would punish the boy for Kol's antics? I would just as soon put him in a box!"

Which is when Kol said offended "You'd choose that little whelp over your own family?"

Taylor rose up from her seat saying in a loud tone "That "little whelp" your talking about is my son, and he goes nowhere if it's me to up, me being his mother !"

Kol yelled to Taylor"And since when do Nick's little play mate's get to make rules about what she wants !"

Taylor's eyes faded to her purple and black hybrid ones as she yelled "Motus !" as purple flows of energy danced inside of her hands before she sent Kol flying to the wall.

Kol hit the wall with force before he used his speed his vampire eyes out as he yelled to Taylor "Try that again little girl !"

Taylor hissed fangs out "Last I check, I can make you heart crush with a simply head nod, little boy !"

Klaus pointed his finger at the two of them, "Enough !" as Kol backed down as Taylor waved her finger fixing her painting on the wall along with making her hybrid eyes fade.

Taylor stood tall a determined expression on her face "Marcellus stays."

She turned to the Mikealson's brothers specially Kol and asked "Anyone has a problem with that, can take it up with me, if you do, it's your funeral."

She lifted her hand out causing her dairy to come to her as she flipped her hand walking out of the room...

"And that Charlottle is how you do a 80's decade dance look." as I popped my collar, which is when I yell, "Mom, I'm about to leave for the dance !"

I then yelled "Mom !" before rolling my eyes and blowing my cheeks out, as I grabbed my purse which held my phone in it as I walked downstairs to the kitchen to see a note my mom had left. I picked it up and read it.

Seemed like she was going to be gone the whole night and left me with money if I wanted to buy food later. "When are you ever home anyway." I said before looking to see she had accidentally left the milk out.

"Seriously" I mumbled before going over to put it in the fridge.

I put the milk inside which is when my wolf senses went off and before I knew it I heard a whoosh and I looked up to see him jumped down from the ceiling.

He grabbed me before I kicked his knee and flipped him to the ground as he kicked me causing me to land hard on my nearby trash can.

I groaned as he began to choke me which is when I hissed as my hybrid eyes faded in and I bite him on his arm hard. He pulled away as blood was on my fangs and I was in attacked mode.

He hissed before vamp-speed out of the house.

I collected my breathes as I wiped my fangs off and my hybrid eyes faded. I sighed and grabbed my phone and I began to place a call.

"How did he even get invited in ?" Saige asked. She paced around the room.

She looked great in her 80's costume. She wore a denim sparkled vest with a green shirt, a white ruffled skirt, fishnet stockings, finger less gloves, a white bow and heels, her hair in deep curls.

"He  He posed as a pizza delivery guy last night. Mackenzie said to her, she was sitting next to me rubbing my shoulder.

She wore a a black sleeveless dress with thick shoulder straps and the front of the dress was printed with 'I heart 80's',  with check board, multicolored triangles and stripes design and white heels as she also wore green, red and yellow beads with a big headband and white heels and leg warmers.

"Well he did well for a that, did he tell you want he wanted ?" Hope asked in her costume. "No, he was to busy trying to kill me."

"Well what do we do to get rid of him ?" Josie asked her hair in a half up and down hairstyle as she wore pink leggings with short's over neath, sneakers, a light blue sweater, glasses and a bow.

"He's been invited in he could get to the house right ?" Rafael asked Saige as Saige nodded which is when they heard "Then we kill him."as they turned to see Stefanie.

She walked down the stairs of my house as she walked in front of the group.

Her hair was in loose small curls and her hair half way up and down though she had a small ponytail that was to the side being held by a tiny piece of multicolored hair streak, she had a multicolored shirt underneath with a ripped shirt and purple zebra printed rolled up jeans and slippers with a heart belt.

"What ?" I asked her when she said "I have a plan to take her out, both of them, Taylor and Grace. So this nightmare can be over with."

"And I pretty sure my dad knows nothing about it ?" which is when Stefanie said "No because if he did he would have tried to stop me, and I don't need that either."

"There's going to blood, so I need to know if all of you are up for you, I don't need anyone to freeze or feel sympathy for either of them." Stefanie eyed to me I knew she was talking about me with Taylor.

I rolled my eyes. "Are you guys up for it ?" as Raf asked "What do we have to do ?" as Stefanie said "Go to the dance, I'll lead the rest of the way."

"That's a bad idea." Mackenzie said.

Stefanie said "Until we kill the pizza vampire and Taylor and Grace, everything is a bad idea, so last chance to walk out, and don't think about telling any grown up's or adult, tonight we do things my way."

"Reckless, Dangerous and Bloody." as Saige said "You know I'm in, and I'll tell Ezra about everything aswell." as Stefanie nodded looking to the others before Hope said "I'm in to, not the first time I've broken some rules"

"Char, Kenz, don't back out on me, heck I babysit you two and you two are my best friends" as Mackenzie took in a sigh before she said "Were in." as the others nodded in agreement.

"Good then, let's dance people..."

I walked inside before looking around. My hair was in a crimped style and I wore leather pink dress with a leather white belt and finger less black gloves with fishnet stockings and heeled black boots.

The big disco ball at top spun around the room and it made the whole room lit up and sparkle. A video of 80's people dancing played aswell.

I grinned it was a nice well put together party. I then made my way to the punch bowl before pouring myself some as I took a couple of sips.

I then heard "Grace !" as I looked behind me to see Ezra.

Her hair was separated by a headband and she wore blue tights with green shorts over neath, leg warmers, white slippers, beads, short orange arm warmers and a yellow neon shirt with a pink seen through lace one over neath.

"Ezra, nice mom costume." as she got herself some punch saying "Haha." as she drunk some punch.

"I'm shocked you dressed up Grace, usually you don't." as Ezra said "Well, I guess, since life is looking up for my freedom, may as well." as Ezra said "Now that's the spirit." which is when Nia came from behind Ezra.

"You guys never told me this party would be so much fun !" She was wearing a long sleeve gray dress with the word "Fabulous." in the middle and a headband with black leg warmers and black heels as her hair was crimped.

Ezra turned bright red at her outfit.

"Well, welcome to Mystic Falls, parties are a free space here." as Nia got punch she then looked into the crowd to see Taylor as she added "What's Taylor doing here ?"

She was wearing some ripped denim pants, leather finger less gloves with black leather booties, record earrings and a white-t shirt, a black leather jacket. Her hair was in deep curls. She looked around at everyone dancing.

She then locked eyes with Grace. Grace clear her throat, "She shouldn't be here, I told her to stay behind." as Ezra said "Then what are we going to do ?" as Grace told her "Stay calm, aka chill."

With that Taylor walked up to the three. "Well, well. I do have to say Mystic Falls does through great little parties don't they. Nice food just walking around for starving vampire like myself."

"And tell me, I have no respect for not showing who we are." which is when Taylor gave a slit smirk to Grace.

She looked Grace up and down before Taylor said "You look nice, s*xy even especially in those stockings." as Grace said "Not today Tay, Tay."

Ezra then saw Charlotte walk inside the gym, standing next to her was Mackenzie.

"Ooo more well know faces." as Taylor walked over to the group of teen. supernaturals, Grace felt the need to follow her behind.

"If it isn't my favorite girls. Char Char, and Donovan. You look great this evening." as Mackenzie said "Well, not shocked, whenever there is a event here you are."

"What can I say, sometimes theses types of party could you some spice." as Taylor added "Plus I'm being so polite this evening."

Taylor then turned to Charlotte as Charlotte folded her arms, "Charlotte... May I have this dance ?"

Charlotte gave a tiny smile adding, "I would love to." before she looked up at Mackenzie and asked "May I have this dance ?"

Mackenzie leaned into Charlotte's arm before Charlotte took her arm as Charlotte looked up at Taylor with a devilish look which caused Taylor to roll her eyes which is when the two of them made it to the dance floor.

Mackenzie and Charlotte giggled at one another before Mackenzie twirled Charlotte and pulled her into her arm's. Charlotte's eyes lit up as Mackenzie's did aswell before Charlotte wrapped her arms around Mackenzie's neck as she smiling brightly as they sway to the music.

"Do you think our mysterious pizza guy is going to show ?"

Charlotte "Let's hope so." before Mackenzie joked "Shouldn't you guys be able to sense each other or something?" before Charlotte said with a small laugh "Doesn't work like that Kenzie." before she asked "Do you see him anyway ?"

"Well, nothing unless his is wearing a stylish wind breaker."

Charlotte added "Wind breakers are a nice trend believe it or not." as Mackenzie added "Especially in this decade." as Charlotte said "Do you think they had poodle skirts ?"

"Totally."as Charlotte rested her head on Mackenzie's shoulder as Mackenzie looked out for the vampire...

"Saige ?" she asked me as I said "Hi, yes that's me. You've heard of me ?" as Nia smiled "I mean who wouldn't know about The Daughter of Tyler Lockwood and Olivia Parker." as I gave a soft chuckle.

"I almost didn't know this was a themed party, until Taylor and Grace told me." I stopped pouring the punch as I asked "How are they treating you at all ?"

Nia rose a brow, "So you know ?" which is when Saige added "She's trying to kill my best friend Nia, Stefanie as you know." which is when Nia added "I been knew about Stefanie, the ancestors do talk."

"Let me guess not a huge fan of her's." as Nia added "I'm just doing this to get it over with, I'm not looking for a fight, I'm just playing my part and once I'm done I'll be on my way back to New Orleans."

"Hmm, once this is over with Nia stay away from Mystic Falls, bad stuff can happen here." as Nia said "Your helping me, why ?"

I added "I've seen to many witches being pulled in vampire drama, just thought I would give some advice." as she gave a soft smile to me...

I felt a hand touch my shoulder before I turned around and flipped whoever it was. The person landed on the ground before groaning. "Ow." I heard seeing that person was Kaleb.

"Kaleb !" I shouted to him before helping him up as I added "You know I'm always on my guard, don't sneak on me like that." as Kaleb said "Noted." before I rolled my eyes taking a small sip of punch.

"See Taylor and Grace anywhere ?" as I shook my head, before Kaleb added to me "Stop shaking girl, your looking for a nice fight." which is when I added "Don't blame me, I'm on edge about everything."

I looked about into the crowd of people. I took in a sigh before I looked at my watch seeing it was time to start the plan. I nodded to Kaleb. He nodded back before he waved to MG who grabbed Josie and Lizzie.

Hope went to Charlotte, Rafael, Saige Mackenzie and Ezra. We moved locations to the Trigonometry classroom.

Ezra locked the door behind her. "Ok, here is the classroom, I was able to get the keys." as I said "Thanks Ezra, for doing this." before she asked "Did I have a choice ?"

I huffed, "Just follow the plan please." which is when Saige asked "Do you have what I need." as she got behind the teacher's desk as I went into the inside of the desk all the way from the back before pulling out the candles.

Saige waved her finger saying "Incendia." as the candles around her lit on fire.

Saige then said "Ok, I'm all set up." which is when Rafael asked "What exactly do you need to do ?" which is when I added "In order to do the spell, you need to stop the heart of a human. A connect to the living."

"Who's heart are you going to stop ?" Josie asked her cousin which is when Saige looked to Mackenzie. Mackenzie asked "It's me isn't it ?" as Saige said "I hate to ask but yes it is you Kenz."

"What's that like dangerous right ?" which is when I said "She needs to do it." as Hope added "What's the spell in the first place ?"

"It's a simply Heart Stasis Desiccation Spell that will put both Taylor and Grace down for good." as Mackenzie shook her head to the side before saying "Let's do it."

"Kenz." Lizzie said to her before Mackenzie said "I'll be fine." as Saige walked over to Mackenzie before putting her hand on her chest, "You will wake up." as she chanted "Tardus pulsatio"

Mackenzie started to gasp for breathes turning a little bit blue. She looked at Saige holding her arms giving her a look of trust as Saige gave a look of guilt as Mackenzie's heart came to a stop before MG and Rafael caught her lying her down.

Charlotte knelled down to Mackenzie, she grabbed her arm checking for a pulse only to find it not there. "She's gone." as tinny tears came down her cheeks.

"She'll wake up Char." MG said hand on Charlotte's shoulder.  Charlotte nodded before wiping away her tears.

Saige took in a breathe before she pulled out a small pin turning to me saying "Stefanie, your blood."

I nodded to her as Saige pricked my finger before squeezing a bit on my finger letting my blood drip onto the paper. Hope noticed Saige was doing a linking spell to link both Grace and Taylor together.

She then chanted "Phasmatos Inta Grum Vin Callus Amalon Callagius Accodum. Cosom Naben Dox Callagius Amalon Gaeda Callagius. Ceremum Descendium Vinum. Phasmatos Inta Grum Callus. Cosom Naben Dox." as the blood on the map started to move together as the other's noticed.

Rafael held onto Saige's hand before Saige opened her eye only to look and see the blood had formed a special rose.

She said "The spell's ready." as I said "Alright then, everyone let's get into possessions.."

"Wyatt what are you doing here, I thought I told you to stay home." he chuckled.

"Seriously Char, why would I stay home at the biggest party of the century, decides thought you would be in more of the party mode."  I sighed adding "Well, Tonight was so much better on paper."

"Don't be a party pooper Char." as Charlotte sighed before she saw Grace. She was by the back of the stage she twirled her finger around her curl.

"I have to go." as Wyatt took my hand before asking "Come on I've only seen you for 2 days this whole week." which is when I said "I'll make it up to you." as he asked "When, today, tomorrow in 3 weeks ?"

"Wya, I'm sorry but I have to take care of something." as he rolled his eyes "Yeah, I guess I'll see you later Char." as he walked to the gym doors as I said "Wyatt ! Wait !" about to run after him before recalling what I needed to do.

I gave a defeated huff before turning around only to look and see Grace right in my face.

She smirked. I jolted "Where you looking for me Charly ?" as I said "Grace, we meet again don't we."

"Of course we do, we always find a way back to one another." as I narrowed my eyes before adding, "Look at us two girls in love with the same woman."

"I do not love Taylor." as Grace said "Then hooking up with her isn't considered love then, man the 21st century is weird theses day's."

"If we are going to fight, may aswell do it somewhere where people can't get hurt."

Grace chuckled before pointing to a group of girls "Those preppy girls over there, I can snap there necks so fast, I bet you nobody will witness it."

"Don't you dare Grace." as she turned to me and said "Well, then, I suggest you start running, I'll give you a head start."

I took in a breathe before I started to walk backwards as I pushed past people's in crowds as Grace smirked wickedly walking past all the girls without even touching them.

I ran as I pushed the door's open before running down the corridor, I was in the deepest and darkest part of the school, I  looked behind to see if Grace was catching up to me.

I huffed before I was pushed to the wall as I saw Grace she was clenching my throat hard, her eyes to her vampire ones.

I gasped for breathes as she smirked "Well, Well, isn't this a change in event's." as I gave her a scared look...

I shook my head as Nia laughed, "Can't take Taylor anywhere can you ?" as Ezra added "Especially when she's under the influence of wine."

Nia chuckled "You know, I wanted to say sorry." as I asked "For what ?" as Nia added "I wanted to say sorry, for calling you a lair, your not one, you didn't mean to lie."

"I just didn't want you to get hurt, you don't deserve to get hurt." as Nia added "Sometimes the worst things happen to the best of people."

Ezra added "Noted." before Nia asked "Have you ever love someone ?"

Ezra chuckled added "Love is a deep word. I wouldn't say I've loved someone yet, but I have had some crushes on a couple of people, like heck I use to have one on Saige but I saw she was with Rafael."

"Then there was other girl, but I don't want to talk about that crush, what about you ?" as Nia smiled saying "I um, use to have a crush on this girl, they where non-binary, and they where the love of my life."

"Where ?" as Nia added "We um went our separate ways after a while. They where a werewolf."

"And a werewolf and a witch don't always go together." as Nia said "There dad killed my grandmother, when I found that out I couldn't look them in the eye without feeling that hatred, even though I knew it wasn't there fault."

"I'm sorry to hear, I bet they miss you." as Nia added "There married now, to a nice witch."

I put my hand on her's. "Hey, um, wanna dance, at all ?" as Nia added "Ezra, your really really pretty and kind, but I can't be in a relationship with you right now, I'm not ready for that."

I had small tears in my eyes.

I wiped them away before Nia noticed how she had hurt my feelings, given the fact I was going to ask her out on a date after the dance. "E, I'm sorr-" as I said "It's fine, I'm ok. I understand."

I turned away from her as my lip quivered before some of the lights inside the room shaked back and forth and flickered

I turned back and added with a small voice crack "Enjoy your night." as I walked away...

"I hope you know your entire idea was utterly stupid." as Charlotte said "You want Taylor died and so do, so just help us Grace."

I narrowed my eyes before throwing the blonde into the lockers as she landed face first.

"I don't want Taylor dead, I want her to suffer on my terms, and with you and Stefanie and everybody else in my way, your stopping that from happening."

I picked her up by her hair before I said "Dear cousin, do you honestly did like you, you are everything Tay Tay likes in a woman, elegant, smart and better yet naive."

She was about to bite down on my neck, when we both heard "Motus !" as I went back as I slid on the ground as I rose my eyes, Charlotte rose her eyes.

She huffed rising to her feet only to see Ezra. She held her hand out and her mascara ran down her eyes and cheeks.

"Ezra !" Charlotte said happily as Ezra chest fell and rose.

"I got this Charlotte, go take care of Taylor." as Charlotte nodded as she rose up only to vamp speed away as I got to my feet as I saw Ezra, her hand out as she said "Hello Grace."

I said "Well well, look's like the traitor has finally come to her the light."

"Don't act like I'm the only one betraying who."

I said "Fool me once, never again." as my eyes went to my vampire ones as I speed towards her before Ezra said "Phasmatos Morsinus Pyrox Allum"

I stopped only to hold my head in pain as I screamed out.

Ezra clenched her finger's more increasing the pain before I saw the nearest pencil right next to me as I got on my knees and threw it as it landed on her neck as she screamed out.

I shook my head and used my speed to crush her into a locker. I shouted "Why ?! We had a deal !" as Ezra pulled the pencil out saying "I liked Stefanie's better."before she stabbed me in the shoulder.

I grunted as I hissed at her as Ezra stood in a tall stance before I flinched and looked down at my chest to see a small sliver knife in it. I cried out before I started to desiccate and fall to the ground dead.

Stefanie stood behind me as she panted looking at Ezra then back to me. "She deserves worse than that dagger, but the first step is taken. Charlotte played her part well."

Ezra walked over Grace's body. "I sent her to go get Taylor, it's all up to Saige and the others now..."

I stood over the desk as my hair blew a little as the air picked up. Rafael turned and saw my veins start to turn dark black.

"Saige !" he called out to me as he walked over as I took in a deep breathe. I was about to topple over, when he caught me by my shoulders.

"Saige that's the third times that has happened, are you sure you're ok ?" which is when I took in a deep breathe adding "Don't worry Raf, I'll be ok." as I gave him a little peck on his cheek.

He sighed before nodding to me. One thing I did love about him was how much he trusted me. And he did trust me alot. I also knew this magic was killing me I felt sick and nausea.

Rafael turned back around to look at the door as I wiped the small amount of blood from my nose.

"Grace is all set, and soon Taylor will be to." as Rafael turned and asked "How is Kenz ?" as I turned to see myself holding Mackenzie's hand, she was still and my anchor to the living.

I squeezed it as I said "She's ok. She's strong."

Rafael told me "I just got a text from Landon. Charlotte is off to get Taylor." as I nodded before I said "Raf." as he turned to me asking "Yeah S ?" as I said "Promise me if something goes's wrong tonight, you'll do your part."

"That promise is making me uneasy." as I gave a slit smirk, "I know it is, but I know your Rafael you'll pull though." as he huffed "I promise." as I nodded to him placing a small kiss on his cheek...

Nia walked over to me, she looked like she was in a foul look. "Who cried in your cauldron, Witchy ?"

Nia took Taylor's punch drinking it, she swallowed. "Nothing, just broke a nice person's heart." as Taylor said "Ugh."

Nia noticed her lack of care. "What's with the sass." as I drunk my punch adding "Sorry, Nia I don't do teen drama."

Nia said "Noted." which is when Taylor pointed to Charlotte "Now that over there is stunning." as Nia noticed "Charlotte ?  I remember her, she came to one of my fan meets, I think she likes me."

I snapped my head towards her and said "Say another word and I'll tear out your liver Nia."

Nia said "Someone's protected of their blonde sweetheart, I think you have a vampire type." as I gave a slit eye roll.

"Charlotte !" I called out for her. She turned to me. She didn't look happy to see me as she walked up to me saying "Oh it's you."

I said "Join me for punch, or maybe we could do something more fun."

Charlotte said "Ew no, I'd rather die of blood thirst, but thanks for the invite, maybe trying asking Grace." as she walked away from me and Nia.

"She's beautiful." as Nia joked "Yep she's pretty beautiful walking away from you."

I licked my lips adding, "I love a great challenge." as I rose up putting my punch down before walking after Charlotte.

She pushed by the door's of the school and walked outside to take a deep breathe. "Char !" as she stopped and turned to me "Seriously ?! Can't take a hint Taylor."

Her arms folded as she started to walk away again before I stood in front of her. "Oh come on Charlotte don't be mad at me, just because I'm close to doing the ritual with Stefanie."

"Oh sorry to say that bother's me."

I chuckled adding, "It didn't seem to bother you enough to have sex with me." as Charlotte shook her head before she went to set on the bench close to the school.

"Oh come on Char, we know each other's stories. Each other's hope's and dreams. Why won't you take a chance to know me more."

I sat down next to her before she turned to me adding, "Because your evil."

I simply said "Whatever you do Char, good or bad people will always have something negative to say about you." as her blonde hair flew in the wind.

I was about  got up knowing she wanted to be left alone before she squeezed her eyes and adding, "Taylor." as I stopped and looked at her.

"I know your in love with me Taylor, and anyone who is capable of love is worth being rescued."

My  lips morphed into a small smile. "If you do decide to do this Char, you'll be force into a world wind of problems, challenges, and having to love me with the girl and bad."

She walked up to me "Guess that's a risk I'll willing to take." she told me with a short stutter.

I said "Guess so." as I leaned in as Charlotte did aswell, before I gave a tiny groan as Charlotte looked up. I rose from the bench hand over my heart, before my eyes fixed on Charlotte.

"What ? What's wrong Taylor ?" as I mutter "What did you do ?"

Charlotte said quietly "Nothing." before I snapped my head towards her grabbing her more forcefully "What did you do !"

Charlotte tried to pull away saying "I didn't do anything. Stop it!" as my eyes then fell before turning to say "Grace."  as she speed away.

Charlotte took in a deep breathe before calling Stefanie, "Taylor found out about Grace, you need to hurry." as she hanged up and took in a sigh...

"Here." Ezra told me as she added "Grab her." which is when Stefanie said "Good work, we have to get her out of here, Charlotte called and said Taylor knows."

"Crap, we have to move faste-" with that I quickly took the knife out of Grace's heart before snapping the knife in to with my strength as I locked eyes with Ezra and and Stefanie.

Ezra held her hand out saying "Immobi-" as I speed over and bite down hard on her neck.

I began to feast on her endless as she screamed, I stopped, I feasted enough on her to knock her out not to kill her before I threw her as she hit the lockers

Grace's eyes began to open on the floor as she revived.

Stefanie speed over to me before I simply grabbed her by her neck as she struggled for breathes as I reached my hand inside her heart.

She gave a tiny cry out before I said "I'll give it to you, your plan was clever, but not good enough." as Grace rose to her feet as she hissed about to attack as I stopped her.

"What ?! Why are you stopping me from killing her !" as I said back voice risen "I'll handle Stefanie, you find Nia and tell her it's time for Ancestor magic."

"And Ezra ?" as I looked to Ezra who rested on the floor, she was holding her neck as she groaned as I  said "I've got something special for Ezra." as Taylor snapped her head and said "Now go."

Grace took some steps back before nodding and speeding away. I turned my attention back to my dear cousin. I threw her as she slid on the floor before hitting the nearest wall.

She groaned on the ground as I said " I should have killed you months ago." as Stefanie spit the blood from her mouth "Do it then !" as she added "I was aiming for Grace, for sending that hooded figure after me."

I narrowed my eyes "What do you mean sent someone after you, you idiot, Grace was went me all night in the mansion it wasn't here."

"Then if it wasn't you nor Grace." I said to myself "Another vampire is here." I went to her before Stefanie back up a little.

"Your lucky I have bigger stuff to worry about now or I would have killed you."

Stefanie said "Forget about the ritual because it's not happening." as she gave a short chuckle adding "Not my fault your mommy hates you as much as I do." as my eyes faded to my vampire ones about to attack when I heard "Leave her Taylor."

I turned around to see who was giving my orders only to see it was Grace and Nia was right next to her. Stefanie looked up and down only to see Nia, she looked at Stefanie.

"Nia if you will."  as Nia held her hands out and said "Arràcher soit je."  Stefanie held her head in pain and started screaming.  Nia's hair blew in the wind

I smirked she was a powerful New Orleans's witch.

I watched my cousin on the ground holding her head in pain her eyes and nose bleeding before Nia added "Me ne de qual suurentaa!" as Stefanie's neck snapped as she laid on the ground.

Nia put her hand down as I smirked and chuckled "Well, well Nia you have a bright future in magic ahead of you." as Nia added "Yeah right, I assume you want me to deal with Saige."

"Ah yes, Lockwolf, deal with her, she's channeling something powerful I can feel it coursing through my veins."

Nia said "I'm on it" before she noticed Ezra. "Oh my god !" as she ran over and help the Bennett witch up.

"What happened ?" as Grace said "She didn't follow the rules, this was all her own doing." as Nia added "Heal her." as I rose a brow at her before I said "I don't like rules, nor do I take demands for you."

Nia gently put Ezra down on the locker before she walked up to Taylor, the lockers nearby shaked and the balloons pooped.

"I don't work for you Taylor. This is only because you are in need of a New Orleans and given the standards around here, I'm the most powerful New Orleans witch you have, so show some respect, here your just Taylor, but I'm the powerful witch, got it ?"

"So heal her." Nia said slow. I smirked. I walked over to Ezra and bite down on my hand before feeding her my blood, as Ezra held my arm and feed from me. Nia saw as she made the lockers and balloon stop to shake and pop.

I dropped her as she landed on her arms before she groaned, my blood on her mouth as I said "Happy now ?" as Nia said accent shining "Satisfied."

"Well then, Saige pretty please." as Nia said "Don't act like I won't kill you, hybrid or not." as she walked away from me and Grace as I grinned at her bravery...

She pull apart to remove her hair pin as she shook her hair out of it's bun as Kol smirked before lying her down on the bed.

Taylor looked at Kol her eyes flash to her hybrid ones before she mutter "Vido" as Kol's shirt magically unbutton falling to the ground as Taylor wrapped her legs around his waist.

Kol smirked "Reckless." as Taylor said "You have-" as she used her speed to flip them over before she lifted her dress down leaving her in black corset and stockings before she kissed him "No idea." as Kol smiled as she giggled kissing him back.

A couple of minutes later.

Taylor laid down on Kol's chest as she gave him a soft kiss as Kol smiled stroking her hair before laying down to Taylor's level in order to kiss her chest. "Awe." she smiled at him.

"Don't say awe, your the one who's romantic as ever."

Taylor flipped on her back before she rose up to go to her vanity as Kol put his shirt back on and his's pants before he told her "When are we leaving darling ?"

Taylor rose her eyes at him before she turned adding, "Soon love, tonight. You'll meet me by the horses at midnight and we'll leave this place soon, and be together."

"I wouldn't want anything more." as Taylor smirked giving him a kiss before she went to her vanity adding, "I also want to take Marcellus with me."

Kol gave her and said "Why can't he just stay here, I mean he has Nik and Elijah to keep his company."

"He needs more than that just Nik Kola, he needs his mother, Nik may care for him, but I love him more than anyone in this world, so Marcel goes with her."

"He's human, where vampires how can he take care of himself."

Taylor added "We will find a way, but do not double cross me, got it, and we will be home free away from all this mess."

She placed a kiss on his cheek before she added "I'm off to see Nik and Elijah they want me for a second." as she walked away from Kol, who sighed before smirking to himself...

I then picked up some screaming with my supernatural hearing as I said "Guys !" before I vamp speed into the Trigonometry classroom.

I looked to see Rafael he was by the wall he was bleeding and he held his side.

"Raf !" I yelled to him before going over to him as I crouched down, he looked like he was on the verge of passing out.

"Hey, hey Raf, it's ok, it's ok, stay with me. What happened." as I bite my wrist before finding a small cup to pour my blood into.

He saw me doing this as he said softly "She came into here."

I asked "Who, who came into here." as I helped him take small sip's of my blood before he swallowed adding "Nia. She's took us out one by one." as I adding "us ?"

I looked behind to see Hope passed out, along with Lizzie, and Josie.

"Crap, crap, crap !" I said before going over to Hope as I shook her. "Hope, Hope !" as I checked for a pulse, thank god it was still there.

I went back over to Lizzie and shook her as she groaned, "Hey, Liz, it's me." as I bite down on her wrist as she moaned "Stefanie ?" as I stroked her hair, "It's ok, it's ok." as I feed her my blood.

"Jo. Check on Jo." as I saw Josie. She was on her face. "Josie !" I yelled putting Lizzie down.

I flipped her over as I saw she had a nasty scar on her forehead as I gently rubbed her chin. "Hey, hey, Josie. Josie freaking Saltzman wake up."

She wheezed looking at me. "Hey, look at me. Breathe." as her eyes went in and out.

Rafael told me "We sent the others to go to Dr Saltzman, Charlotte lead them to her, I'm sorry Stefanie, but we need him."

I looked to the desk to see Saige. "Saige !" I yelled before running over.

Half of her face was covered in blood, and her noses, ears and eyes where bleeding and she was barely breathing. "No, no, no, Saige ! Saige !" as her head titled down.

Slit tears where forming in my eyelids as I shut my eyes as I gave a tiny sob as I looked around before going back over to Josie muttering "This is all my fault." as I held Josie in my arms before I storked her hair...

Her hair was in a low bun as some pieces of her hair was loose, as she wore a leopard print stain robe.

I rose my eyes at her. "Tay Tay, I wasn't expect a guest while taking my daily bubble bath, so what do you need from me ?"

Taylor picked up the wine adding, "I could use a soak, mind if I join Gray ?"

I nodded said "May as well, I was getting lonely." as she removed her robe as I watched it fall to the ground as I looked at her body before she hoped into the tube sitting across from me.

I put my book down as I took the bottle of wine from her and poured myself another glass.

"What will you do with Ezra ?" as I took a sip as Taylor sighed adding, "Teach a lesson, about betrayal and how much I hate it."

"Aw you do hate betrayal, I know that much about you." as Taylor took the wine back before I sipped the rest of mine as she poured herself her second glass as she poured my my third one.

"You know everything about me." as I gave a lopsided grin before she asked me

"Grace." as I asked "Humph ?" before she simply asked "Did you feel like I was worth it ?" as I rose my eyes at her asking "Now where is this version of Taylor coming from ?"

She asked "I let her in to far." as I laid back in the tub before she took a sip of wine adding "Charlotte. I kept telling myself it wasn't going to work, that we could live and thrive as this perfect little couple."

My eyes fell before Taylor saw "I shouldn't talk about Charlotte with you, given the fact she hurt's your feelings."

I rolled my eyes at her before I said "She doesn't hurt my feelings Taylor. I guess I'm a bit on the jealous side." as she snickered before asking "The fierce Grace Pierce Mikealson on the jealous side ?"

"I envy the love you have with her Charlotte." as I added "As soon as I see anyone, getting close to you. I feel this hatred and burning jealous, and thing is your not even mine anymore."

Taylor put down her fourth cup of wine as she went towards me.

I looked her up and down, "I know you are jealous of Charlotte, but you don't need to be jealous, everything she has, you have it so much better."as I started to get drowsy.

"Turns out, I'm in love with Charlotte, and it drives it me nuts, that I know deep down, I'm never going to be good enough for her, because she wants me to change, be the inner Stefan I guess and I'm not my father, do you see my problem Grace ?"

I gave a slit smirk adding, "Dare I say is this the new in improved Taylor, maybe it's not love that's your weakness maybe Charlotte is."

"I guess we both need a distraction right now, will you be mine ?" as Taylor said "Just stop talking and kiss me. I need a hot disturbance."

I came over towards her before we gave one another a passionate long kiss.

I held her cheeks as Taylor put my hair behind my ear before she went to my neck as she bite down on my neck and started to feed on me. Her long sharp fangs digged into my veins.

I closed my eyes before giving a slit grin. I then saw her neck before I hissed a bite down gently.

Taylor use her other hand to rubbed my back, the veins under her eyes showed with power as blood spilled on both of our back's as the soap turned red along with the water.

After a couple of minutes later I laid down with my lace white belt trim robe on, I was drunk and I had passed out.

Taylor walked from my bathroom as she saw me not under the blankets and passed out.

She huffed before walking over to me. She tucked me into bed as she simply said "Good night Grace."

She walked off to her room before I said in my sleep "Good night Tay Tay." as she gave a slit smirk walking away to her room...

"Please, let me go! Mr. Kol, I don't-I don't like this."

"Don't be absurd! Shakespeare should be experienced in the flesh! In truth, these aren't the finest actors, but we are in the colonies."

He shurrged adding "Here." as he gestured to the stage adding "Where were we?" as the actor said "In venom to thy work!" took his sword and ran it into another actor through with it. Marcel gasps in shock as the man falls dead to the floor. Grace was shocked as well.

"Exchange forgiveness with me, noble harlot-" before Kol stood up annoyed and shouts toward the stage as he walks up and approached Actor 2 "No !"

He sighed before he said "How many times must I tell you" as he grabbed the top of the actor head saying "It's Hamlet, not harlot." as he snapped the male actor's neck before he fell to the ground.

"Sometimes, I don't know why I bother." as Kol gave a smile before Elijah and Taylor walked in hearing the commotion.

"Marcel !" Taylor said rushing towards him as Elijah asked "What have you done?" as Kol simply said "I was just introducing Marcellus to the theater. I thought you'd be pleased?"

Klaus entered the courtyard to checks on Marcel as he went towards Taylor.

"Is there no limit to your violent imagination, brother?" as Taylor said tears in eyes "How could you ?" her eyes faded to her hybrid ones.

"If the lad is going to be a vampire, he'll have to learn somehow, won't he? Come, I've already fed him my blood. All you have to do is snuff him, and voilà. One of us. Well, that's what you want, isn't it?"

Elijah grabbed Kol in choke-hold and shoves him backwards until Klaus grabs Kol's arms.

"Stop it !" Grace said coming from the corner as she stood next to Marcel and Taylor.

" Let him go, Elijah, your scaring Lily pad, Marcel and Grace." as Taylor hid Marcel's face not wanting him to see the violent action about to come up.

Elijah let go though he did not want to.

"Thank you, Nik. At least someone knows the meaning of family." Kol told him before Klaus said "I told before-"

He turned Kol around to face him before Klaus added "Marcellus is family" as he daggered Kol once again as he grunted as Elijah held him as Taylor's eyes fell as Grace mouth hung open..

He stormed into his office, he was wearing his gray robe with the Salvatore S symbol on it and a white shirt and some grey pajama pants.

My hair was down and I wore a off the shoulder green knit cropped shirt with shorts and white socks.

"I mean how, could you be so reckless Stefanie !"

I gave a sarcastic laugh before adding "You weren't getting anywhere." as he asked "So you took it upon yourself and in return you put yourself, Josie and Lizzie and half of the students in grave danger."

"Oh you don't think I know that !" as he asked "Yeah and how did that go for you Stefanie ?" as I added "Not well." as he added "Exactly so for once Stefanie can you start acting like a student and let me do my job, because I have all of this under control."

I snapped my head at him adding "You have this under control ! Oh please, since Taylor firsts came into Mystic Falls, me and the other's have been the one's coming up with a plan to save my life and everyone else's what where you doing Dr Saltzman ?!"

"I've been the adult Stefanie, if you haven't act out of angry, maybe we could have come up with a plan tonight !"

I yelled "Oh really, what the h*ll do you expect Dr Saltzman, I'm a Salvatore for crying out loud !" as he yelled "Sometimes I wish you weren't one !"

"I wish that's never going to come true, you have been down my throats since the whole Josie incident, and just admit the fact you wish I never came to this school in the first place !"

"I am not going to say that to you Stefanie. No matter how much you think or want me to, your actions put everywhere in harms way.

"Saige isn't waking up at all !"

I groaned loud pulling my hair a bit "Do you not think I know that, this is all my fault and if you let me take responsibility for it, instead of yelling at me twenty for seven maybe I would learn not to do it anymore."

"Taylor is evil there is no doubt about it, but you shouldn't let her take out your innocent away from you Stefanie, your still a kid." as a bit of tears formed into my eyes.

"This anger... this hatred... this need for vengeance, this isn't you Stefanie. This is your father."

That made me angry, but at the same time I knew deep down he was right.

I spoke up saying "Don't say anything about my father, as if you knew him like I did."

He added "That's because you didn't see the ugly parts, I refuse to let this be who you are Stefanie, now go to bed, we'll finish this tomorrow."

I rolled my eyes as I stormed off back to my dorm.

I slammed the door before I looked to see Saige's bed, she should have been ok, she should have been sleeping across to me, thanks to me she was hurt.

My eyes then meet the photo of me, my dad and my mom. I was five and my dad smiled right next to me. Taylor wasn't the bad guy, I was.

I then sobbed before I falling to my feet.

I cried out trying to wipe my hot tears before falling to do so as my lip quiver and my's eyes flash to my vampire ones before faded away with my tears that blurred my vision...

My head was all over the place as I sighed before closing my computer as I picked up my phone opening it as I went to contacts before scrolling going to Taylor's.

I was about to smash on it and press it when I stopped myself.

I grunted before I gave a defeated huff. My door then opened as I put my phone away only to see my mom she wore a grey robe over some pink shorts and shirts. In her hand where some chocolate cookies cookies and milk.

"Mom what's this for ?" as my mom gave a slit smile adding, "I was just thinking my daughter deserved a study cookie break, some nice chocolate chips cookies. I was looking for the recipe at work."

"Thank you." as I took a cookie and milk before eating it as I took a sip of the almond milk.

'It's really tasty." as my mom who was shock at the waves of complaints said "Wow, thanks. What has you in a good mood, by now you would be yelling me away."

"I just want to change this up." as I sighed before asking "Mom ?" as she asked "Yes baby girl ?"

I asked "Can I hug you ?" as my mom said hair in bun "Baby of course." as she brought me to her hugging me tightly as she kissed my cheek, "What's the hug for ?"

I chuckled adding, "Just figured, I should cut you some slack, I really needed that hug." as she simply asked me "Rough day ?"

I nodded asking "How'd you guess ?" as she said "I was a teen before I know, in a world of supernatural"

I gave slit sniffles before my mom smiled as I pulled away, "I could use a TV Partner."

She gave me a mini smirk asking "What are we watching ?" as she got under the blankets next to me

I chuckled before leaning my head on her shoulder curling up next to her as she placed a kiss on my forehead turning on a romantic movie as I took in a relaxed sigh...

"Ezra." I heard over and over again as I held my hand out shouting "Who's there !" as I looked around to see all my ancestors around me. All the most powerful witches where saying things to me.

I just couldn't understand me. "Stop it ! I can't understand you ! Please !" as the wind and the trees picked up before I noticed a figure walk up to me. It was my mother.

"Mom ?" I asked her before she said the same thing tome like all the rest.

Before that I noticed they spoke out in a another language. It was Latin. All I could make out was Val.

I then held my head before given out a scream.

My eyes blinked open before I shook my head side to side as I looked around to see I was in the woods as I felt my feet cold and wet.

I looked down to see I was in nothing but my cat nightgown and my feet where muddy and bare as I simply said "Val ?" before I looked to see I meet eyes with the cemetery..
