It was chilling and cold, it clearly bothered her because she shivered a bit, she had no idea what was happening, and how she was mysterious back from the dead.

But she wasn't compelled, but one thing for sure, this wasn't her body, clearly, this was somebody's else, a witch by the name of Cassidy, she didn't know a Cassidy.

She needed to figure out what was going on, what day it was and what she had-

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a loud car horn blaring at her, she had almost forgotten she was standing in the middle of the road.

The car was heading towards her at a fast pace, she stood tall, as her sclera went black and her iris were purple as she lifted her head upwards, and in a split second the car went over her and it tumbled landed on the ground with a loud thud, scrapping the road.

Her eyes faded, the person inside who she was soon able to identify as a male climbed out of the car, bleeding in terrible condition before she walked towards him.

He wore a suit, a sliver one. "You." she said as he rose his eyes at her, "What your name?" as he spit blood out saying, "Thomas, how did you do this! My car! What are you ?!" as she smirked, "Thomas, delightful, what year is it?"

"2029." as Cassidy said, "2029, huh." as she faced his body over, kicking it "What are you doing?" as she said, "Looking for this obliviously." as she was able to take his house keys, she smirked.

She was about to walk down the road, when Thomas reached for her arm to grab her, he was able to as she gave him a look as she jerked her head up forcing him to slide down the road, he groaned.

She twisted her arm as she cracked his neck, as he fell to the ground now dead.

Cassidy rose back to her feet, she dusted her arm off as she put her hair out of her face whipping it saying "Hooligan." as she walked down  the road, as Thomas laid dead on the road.

She opened Annabelle's file as she read through it, when she noticed Max one of her vampires come through her door.

"Well hello Max, I know you needed to talk to me, what's wrong, but make it quick, I have business."

"I understand that Cassidy, but when are we going to go after the girl?" as Cassidy said, "Which one, theirs's a group of girls, speaking about that have you kept an eye on my daughter?"

He huffed, "Yes, she isn't doing anything, she's simply moving in, what do you need from her again?" as Cassidy said, "My body of course, what else. Taylor is keeping it and once I get it back, I can kill her."

"What about Grace ?" as Cassidy added with a chuckle, "Grace is my daughter's weakness, it won't take me trouble to kill her, I did it once, I can do it again."

"Alright what about the "girl." as she rose a brow, "The Tribrid, to be fair I had no idea three species combined were possible." as he shook his head, "No, the girl."

Cassidy narrowed his eyes as she closed Annabelle's file asking, "What business do you have with Stefanie Salvatore?"

"I want her head." as Cassidy rose her eyes at him before leaning back in her chair, "She killed my brother, he deserves justice."

Cassidy sucked her teeth in adding, "Oh yes Johnathan, what a shame, to me it's the fact he got bested by a 17-year-old vampire, not only that, but all also she simply had to do was pull his heart out his chest."

Max stood tall before hissing, "Are you mocking his death?" as Cassidy smiled saying, "Yes because it's embarrassing, but also no because I admire a strong female vampire such as herself."

"He died for you, for what you were fighting for and that's how you honor him." as Cassidy laughed saying, "Yes, especially when it's a pathetic death such as that."

"Huh, says the women who keeps getting bested by her 21 year old daughter." Cassidy jerked her hand out as Max dropped to his knees holding his hand in agony, Cassidy rose from her seat.

"I did not ask for your input, nor did I ask for what's on your mind, no you will not go after Stefanie Salvatore because I did not know how many times, I need to tell you people this, but I need her alive! You go after her I will kill you and burn your body aflame." as she jerked her hand to her chest stopping the pain inflation.

He sighed laying on his knees before rising to his feet, he brushed the blood from his nose, Cassidy went back to her chair as she crossed her legs picked up Saige's file as she waved her hand opening the door for him to leave.

"Leave." she said as Max went to the door before Cassidy held her head up to him adding, "And for the record if I set your body aflame it will be a more heroic death, than your dear brother's." as she smirked to him before he huffed closing the door behind him as she rolled her eyes and went back to reading.

𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒇𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒆

𝑰 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒚 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒕, 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎.

I had went back to my parents over the weekend, along with myself was also Annabelle, she spent most of the nights and day texting Jackie who was now out of the hospital and was going to be meeting Annabelle later that day.

I was coming downstairs to see my parents who were also getting ready to go to the park. Happening at the park, was the anniversary of Mystic Falls Historical Society Volunteer Day, which was a event that happened a while ago, the Fell Family donated money so the town's community could build a park.

And now they were celebrating it's anniversary with a event. From what I know Mr. Lockwood was hosting, and Saige had to go to, no matter how much she complained about it.

Being the mayor's daughter in her eyes had perks and setbacks.

I went into the fridge in order to pour myself some of my mom's homemade pink lemonade.

I was wearing denim blue baggy jeans with low black and white converses with a checkered patterned tube top, my hair flat iron.

My mom was in the kitchen as well, she was packing some sandwiches with some apple slices and peaches. She was wearing a floral off the shoulder top with matching jeans and white sneakers.

"Damon ! I got sandwiches and condiments packed." as she checked her watch, "And were late, dang it." as she waddled to the cabinets to take out the chips. "Need some help mom ?" I asked.

She looked at me, "No, no thank you sweetie, I'll be ok." as she attempted to reach into the top cabinet, when my dad appeared out of nowhere to grab the variety box for her.

"Shorty pants." he said with a grin, my mom lips went into a straight line, but she couldn't help but grin at my father.

"Thank you, Damon." she said as he said "Welcome." as they pecked each other's lips

My dad wearing a short sleeve navy blue shirt with black jeans and matching black boots.

"Here princess." he told me giving me a bag of mini goldfish as I opened them and began to snack on them.

"We should get going, I mean we were at this event Damon, would be rude to be late." as I asked, "Why is this thing so important anyway ?" as Damon said, "Because were both founding families, therefore it means we have to attend no matter what."

"Cool." I said with sarcasm. "You know when were gone Stefanie, you gonna have to do all theses events with you're wife when you're older."

"You and Josie." my dad said as I titled my head with a roll eye not that I didn't like the idea of me and Josie becoming wives and growing old it's just that I hated the idea of going to events because they were so boring and most likely Josie would have to drag me to them.

Annabelle came downstairs. Her hair was tied into in a waterfall braid as she wore high waisted denim cargo jeans with a vintage heart print rib-knit crop tee.

She was on her phone, texting Jackie, from the looks of how hard Annabelle was smiling, I knew whatever they were texting about must have been juicy and probably sexual.

Most likely sexting.

She practically almost would have bumped into me, if it wasn't for me lowering her phone down from her face.

"Would you put your phone down for five seconds? If you don't, you're going give yourself a migraine."

My words caused her to roll her eyes at me.

"Oh ha, ha." she told me, going on her way to the living room, as I rolled my eyes.

"I don't think it's fair to be bugging Annabelle about her cellphone usages. I remember a period of time, where somebody couldn't even eat dinner without a certain girlfriend  texting them, throughout dinner."

I gave my mother a glare as she smiled at me, before grabbing her bag.

"So lay off Nosy Rosie." Annabelle commented before going in the car.

"Why am I always the one who gets called out on their past?" as Damon said, "Think it's a Salvatore thing honey." as he kissed my cheek before saying, "Come on, we gotta go." as he went out the door.

I huffed as I blew my cheeks before following after them.

I was wearing a embroidered black sunflower top with a yellow plaid pleated skirt, as I wore a black head band over my head with matching sunflower earrings and my black and yellow converses.

"Mom, I found the picnic basket, granted before we put any food in here, we need to dust it off, almost coughed up a lung." as I walked into the kitchen to see my mother, her hair was curly as she wore yellow pants with a blue sleeves shirt, her hair locked with a yellow bow.

"Ok, thank you sweetie, I'll wipe it off." as she got a cloth began to wipe the basket off.

I began to pack sandwiches into zip lock bags along with the small containers of almonds and other nuts.

"Ok, so before heading out we'll go to the school, so we can pick up your sisters." as I said snacking on an almond, "Well, let's hope Liz, isn't spending all day with her makeup."

My mother chuckled at me, "Don't make fun of your sister." as I said, "It's the truth." as my mom added, "Us, Forbes have to look pretty before going anywhere."

"So, I know." as I put a couple of blood bags in the cooler. "Mom?" I asked as she asked, "Yes Bunny Boo?" as I added, "Did Dr S, tell you and the other parents what to do about Taylor and Grace being back?

Her smile fell and instead was meet with a frown. She sighed, "Just normal things Char, make sure to keep a eye on her, and not to trust her, and keep a eye on you kids."

"Mom we can all handle ourselves, mind you we drove Tay away last time." as my mom added, "Almost getting yourselves killed in the process." as I rolled my eyes.

"And don't even think about wondering off while we at the event ok, Taylor is dangerous and now that she's here, she's dragged another problem with her." "So you don't want us working together with her ?"

"Of course." as I asked folding my arms, "Even if she is Stefan's daughter ?" my mom sighed stopping loading the candy in the picnic basket. "Her father has nothing to do with this, understood ?"

"Understood." I said mockingly before grabbing my phone and heading to the car as my mother sighed before messing around with her ring that was attached to her necklace as tiny tears glimmered in her eyes thinking about her late husband.

"Give me strength Stefan." she asked as she grabbed her car keys before going outside following her daughter.

Mr. Lockwood was giving a speech, he was dressed in a polo shirt with jeans and sneakers, next to him was Saige, who was wearing a dragon graphic tank top with matching sweatpants and low vans, her hair in a high top ponytail as she smiled at everybody, though you could tell she was in hell.

"Welcome everyone to the anniversary for the Mystic Falls Historical Society Volunteer Day, may everyone who was present at this event, remember all the amazing times we had, and everybody new enjoy it, The whole point of this event is to give back to the community. Thank you to everyone who has shown time in their day to to lend a helping hand. Thanks."

Mackenzie was helping her father take his grill off the back of the truck, she was wearing 90's floral tank top with allover print skirt and some white sandals, her hair in a braid.

While doing so she accidently let go off the girll and saw Taylor, she had caught it for her, she smiled to her.

"Taylor." Mackenzie sneered to her. "Hello Kenzie Bear."

She was wearing a black vest with baggy black cargo pants with black sneakers.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as Taylor said, "Clam your nerves, I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm just here to be a good towner of Mystic Falls and offer my donates."

"How much did you donate?" she asked as Taylor said, "A couple of thousand, nothing too big and nothing to little." as she hoped down from the truck as she placed the grill down as well.

"Hmm, I didn't realize you had a heart." as Mackenzie climbed down from her truck as Taylor said, "It's beat for some, mainly my Grace and maybe Char." she smirked.

Mackenzie eyes went immediately serious hearing Taylor mention Charlotte's name. "Stay away from Charlotte Taylor." she sneered; Taylor smirked at her protectiveness.

"Look at you, being all jealous and protective, jealousy is not a nice look on you."

Mackenzie said, "I'm not jealous, I'm just looking out for Char." as Taylor said walking away, "Yeah, keep doing that." as she walked away as Mackenzie folded her arms, "What even makes you think that Charlotte would go for you?"

Taylor turned chuckling, "She already did once, and don't underestimate glamour of darkness, because the most pure souls can be drawn to them, I mean take you for example and me, I see Char has a type."

"I am nothing like you." Mackenzie said as Taylor looked her up and down, "Look who's lying now, it's ok to admit Kenz, I've seen dark sides before, but yours's is something spectacular" as she walked away, leaving Mackenzie speechless.

I was going to meet up with Jackie first, but Stef wouldn't get off my back about turning in my application first, so I just went to get it over with.

I walked inside the Grill, seeing the normal such as busy tables, people talking among themselves and waitress and waiters busing tables and people exiting the bar.

I stood in the front door, unsure where to go, it must have been fate that Nia ran into me.

Her hair was tied back into a ponytail, and she was wearing denim pants with a white cropped blouse and a brown bandanna, though her apron was over it and she was currently carrying a burger and some fries.

I looked her up and down, "Annabelle." she said to me, as she asked, "Waiting for a table ?" as I joked arms folded, "No doubt you've probably done something to it, I mean you hate me anyway."

"Hate is a strong word you know." as I grinned as Nia said, "I like despise more." as she grinned to me before winking going to her table.

I rolled my eyes before following after her, "You think you're funny." as Nia said, "I'm hilarious." as she handed the man his food as I stood behind waiting.

He thanked her and she went on so I followed after her once more, "I'm thinking we got off on the wrong start Nia." as Nia clicked her tongue placing the tray under her arm adding, "What possible makes you think that Annabelle ?"

"Look, whatever I did, I can promise you I feel regret." as Nia said, "You flirted with my girlfriend." as I gave a chuckle out loud adding, "Expect that." as Nia rolled her eyes at me.

"Don't be mad, I'm a charmer, and a Gilbert, were know for taking a jab at other people's girls or boys or neither, decides Ezra's hot."

"Why are you here ?" as I said, "Oh nothing much just here to turn in my application." as she went behind the bar as I jumped on one of the seats.

She laughed taking her glass of water and sipping it from a straw, "You think you have what it takes to work here." as I said, "It's not that bad, all you guys are doing is giving out drinks and food."

"That's not all busgirls and boys do here, yeah we give out food and water but we also clean dishes, we set up tables for the next costumers, we refill ingredients at the tables, salt and pepper for example."

I blinked my eyes at her as she titled her head at me, "Still think you got what it takes for here Cinderbelle ?" as I narrowed my eyes at her.

With that one of the other busgirls stormed out of the kitchen, throwing her apron as she went out.

Me and Nia glanced at her.

I smirked gleefully turning to Nia who bit the inside of her jaw as I asked, "How does it feel for the universe to keep proving you wrong?"

She smacked her lips at me before asking, "When the soonest you can come in?" not making eye contact with me.

I grinned widely as I handed her my application, she gave me a look as she snatched it from me before walking in the back as I laughed at her.

After thanking, Mrs. Yang, and taking some chopsticks and a dumpling after biting in, I felt hands wrap around my waist and shake me from behind.

I was about to swing and punch but I quickly realized it was Rafael. I chuckled laughing before turning to look at him, "Raf !" I said chewing before punching his shoulder.

He laughed at me for being a scaredy cat, he was wearing some black and white vans with jeans and a black shirt.

"Sorry, babe but you're easy to scare." as I said, "I am not, do not get the wrong idea Waithe, though we are in public, I will still beat you down." as he laughed before giving me a water bottle to wash the dumpling down.

Me and him walked around the park as we talked. "Not to dig into the jump scare, you look a little on edge, everything ok?" he asked as I joked, "Fine." as he gave me a look, "Saige." he said.

I huffed, "I know, I know, open up to you about my problems." as he asked, "What's wrong?" as he took my hand in his own, I smiled at how warm his touch felt.

"It's just now that Taylor and Grace are back, I can't sleep, eat, all that I'm thinking about is when their going to strike and take action. I can't help it."

Rafael said, "I think in the dictionary it's called fear, and the best way to conquer fears is-" while he was talking I noticed Taylor walking in the park, next to her was Grace, who's hair was put into a ponytail and wore a black puff sleeves dress with black sandals, and like me and Rafael they held hands, Grace looking for a spot for the two of them to set up their location and Taylor holding the basket.

My anger spiked seeing the two that I tuned out the words Rafael had said and therefore added, "Murder them on sight." with a tiny hiss at the end, like I was some sort of snake.

Rafael gave me a questionable look, before seeing Taylor and Grace for himself, he chuckled adding, "Un not quite, we should probably schedule a extra session with you for Julie, but I mean is spending time with others, and you're friends."

I turned to look at him, before I said, "Your right, I just need to ignore them, decides my dad told me to stay away from them and that's exactly when I plan to do."

"Good, keep doing that." Rafael said to me with a motivational grin, as I smiled back before we walked to the others.

"Hey Saige !" Charlotte told me with a gleefully grin, I smiled at her, "Hi Char." as I sat down next on the side of the blanket, while Rafeal said hey to both MG and Kaleb.

"Food looks great." as Mackenzie who was next to Charlotte said, "On the Picnic Menu we have some Italian subs, Veggie sandwiches, some fried chicken, cake, cupcakes, sodas, candy, almonds, chips, veggie dip, fruit salad, lettuce wraps and a lot more, brought to you by all of our collect households."

"You had me at Italian subs." as I grabbed one before biting into it.

"My personal favorite, had no idea you could cook like that Char." Hope said, the tribrid was wearing a floral print shirt with denim jeans while her hair was tied into a half up half down style with a green silk ribbon to hold it together and she wore light makeup.

"I don't, mom's sandwiches, apparently a big pregnancy carving when she was carrying me." as Nia said, "Sounds interesting."

"Can't talk, my mom carved pickles with peanut butter." Nia added as she grabbed a cupcake, the carving caused everyone to give looks of disgust. "Nasty." Kaleb commented drinking a Coke.

Nia laughed shoving his shoulder, she laid next to Ezra who's hair was tied into pigtails and wore White Nikes with a similar black crop top to Lizzie and some shorts with a denim jacket overneat.

"Speaking of drinks, I've got some wine all the way from house DeSalvatore." as she got out the red wine she had swiped from her backpack as she grinned mischievous.

"Wine and strawberries, heaven." Charlotte joked laying on her stomach before siting up to grab the wine, before we heard, "Stefanie Miranda Salvatore, give me the wine !"

We all turned to see Mrs. Salvatore, sitting next to the tree, were all our parents, which included my dad, Stefanie's mom and dad, Charlotte's mom, Mackenzie's dad, and Ezra's mom.

Stefanie rolled her eyes, "It's wine, what are you even going to do with it you're pregnant ?!" as her mom said, "And you're 17 ?!" as her dad followed, "Stefanie, listen to you're mother."

Stefanie groaned out loud as she went over to the adults with the bottle of wine.

"Thank you sweetie." Mrs. Salvatore said as Stefanie said, "Yeah, yeah." as she stood arms folded.

She handed the bottle to her husband. "Red wine, come on Princess this is the good stuff." as Stefanie said, "That's why I snatched it."

Her father took his shades off to get a look of his daughter clearly, both of their intense steel blue eyes glaring at each other, he but his shades back on before giving the wine to Mrs. Forbes.

"New nickname, Sitcky Fingers." as Stefanie said, "I've been a Sticky Fingers, since I was nine." as her parents said at the same time, "We know." which caused Stefanie to give them both looks.

"I don't see why you even need wine. I packed juices." as Stefanie went into the cooler and examined the juices her mother packed.

"Seriously mom? Capri Sun." as Mrs. Salvatore said, "Oh don't be like that, you use to love Capri Suns."

"Yeah like 17 years ago." as she added, "Mom I'm not five years old." as Mrs. Salvatore said, "Now I think Capri sun would be very hurt hearing that, seeing you made me buy so many when you were little."

"From drinking Capri Suns in my backyard to snatching wine." Ms. Bennett said as Stefanie scrunched up her nose saying, "What has Stefanie Salvatore become?" doing a shock gesture.

"Either take the juice or die of thirst you're pick." Mr. Salvatore said as Stefanie blew her cheeks out before taking the juice from the cooler and walking off, not before saying to her father, "Can't since I'm immortal remember?!"

He rolled his eyes at his daughter sarcasm before pouring himself some of the wine and taking a sip.

"Good wine." he said as Mrs. Salvatore gave him a motherly look, "Damon."

"You're telling me, my dad won't even let me near my weapons." Mackenzie said as I said, "My dad has security on every corner of the event, and let's just say their not hearing watching the people, they're watching me."

Charlotte groan out loud pulling at her hair, "This is ridiculous?! I can't believe their doing this to us." as Ezra said eating a chip, "I mean my mom been on me too, even set a curfew but hey at least our parents care."

"I mean yeah, but we are perfectly able to protect ourselves and what gives them a right to helicopter even, they all brought us into a world full of their supernatural problems and now we have to deal with it."

I gave a look of "she's not wrong." as I sipped my soda, "So basically the days of sneaking out are over." MG said summing up what each of us said.

"Basically." I said getting my hair out of my face, as Mackenzie added, "Doesn't help that the problem is only a couple of inches from us."

All of us turned to look at Grace and Taylor, Taylor was feeding Grace a grape as they laughed at each other before kissing.

"They are so gross." Charlotte said arms crossed, "Honestly." I said agreeing, when we looked again we all jolted.

Taylor and Grace were staring back at us, mid kiss they knew we were watching them, they liked that kind of attention.

"Just don't pay attention to them, looking at them gives them power." Hope said flashing her wolf eyes at Taylor as a sign of a threat, Taylor winked at her showcasing her hybrid eyes.

"Gonna be hard, I wanna rip them apart." Stefanie said clenching her fist, her veins showing, as Josie said, "Don't Stef, not with all theses eyes."

"I like a audience." Stefanie said as I agreed with her comment saying, "Cheers to that." as we clinked our juices together before taking a sip out of the straws, watching the two woman across from us.

"Of course they are, everyone is." as she smirked before laying back down.

She smiled sunbathing as I said, "You know vampires aren't suppose to like the sun." as Taylor said, "Well I'm a different kind of vampire.' as I said, "You're a ripoff, you're not sparkling." running my hand on her chest.

She turned to look at me, "I'm the real deal, not some cheap actor on a set."

I chuckled before getting back on topic, I sighed saying, "I'm serious Taylor." as Taylor huffed rose up adding, "And what would you want me to do about this Grace, because I know you love to be looked out, by any sets of eyes."

"I'm a Petrova and a Mikaelson, people just can't help but stare at me." as I sipped some wine before eating a strawberry, Taylor wiped away the juices from my lips.

"What did you say to Stefanie back at the school?" as she grabbed my hand saying, "Told her what she doesn't want to know, but needs to."

"And what is that?" as she said, "That she needs us, and trust me she knows that, she doesn't want to tell herself that, her or the others." as I said, "Because their afraid, Clear as day."

"Clear as the sunshine." as Taylor went back to laying down.

I sighed before looking and noticing Elena Salvatore making eye contact with me, I said, "Well, well." she made a gesture to me before she got up and waddled over to her car.

"I'll be right back, Tay Tay." as Taylor said dozing of, "Don't take too long." as I said, "I won't." giving her a peck before following the Salvatore.

"Grace." she said to me, holding what seemed to be a extra pack of napkins. "Elena." I said back.

"You gave me a look, you obliviously want to talk, so talk." as she sighed, "I know the last time we meet-" as I interrupted, "I broke into you're old school and was hell bent on killing you're daughter, again."

She sighed, "Yes, I know. I personally have no clue why you two are back in town, but all I want is peace." as I titled my head, "Peace?" as she nodded, "Yes." as I chuckled adding, "And what makes you the judge of a peace offering?"

"Because, I know my daughter and from the looks she's hellbent on getting rid of you and Taylor out of here, and I don't mean getting rid of both of you in the town I mean the other get rid of you."

I chuckled, "Oh Elena, she can definitely try." as Elena said to me, "Oh she will trust me, which is why I'm calling a truce, because with Taylor and Stef at one another's throat, something is bound to happen, somebody could get hurt and I don't want that, which is why, I just want to call a truce."

I looked at her.

Elena stepped closer to me, "Look Grace. I know you have no reason to trust me, me and you're mother hated each other and me and you're dad, well we had our differences, but I can see how much you care about Taylor, so please, just keep her under control."

I took in a sigh, "Fine." as Elena took in a relaxed sigh, "Thank you so much Grace." as she nodded before leaving.

With that, Taylor appeared behind me. "Care to tell me what you think you're doing?" I sighed saying, "Just displaying peace between us and the others on you're behalf, you're welcome."

I started to walk off before Taylor said, "Excuse me? Since when has peace become a option."

"Since I just said it, how is that so hard to understand Tay Tay." as Taylor gave out a loud huffed, "That is so BORING!" as I swatted her arm, "Ssh! Keep you're voice down."

She smirked at me, before I added with a sigh, "It is clear we need them." as Taylor added, "I hope you are aware Grace that a simple peace treaty isn't going to solve the lingering problem of this new threat upon us."

"No I think the first chance you get, you're gonna stab Stefanie in the heart with a stake, and expose who we are, and then you're going to kill the rest of them."

"I would not." as she added, "I would at least torture them first." as I grunted out, "You are impossible, don't do anything you understand me?" as she gave me puppy dog eyes, as I gave her a look.

"Fine." as I said, "Thank you." as I left.

"Hey cutie." I heard before turning to see Jackie. She looked great, her hair tied a half up half down pigtails as she wore a baggy blue Snoop Dog shirt with baggy blue jeans some white air forces, black shades and a sliver chain.

"Jackie!" I said getting up to hug her tightly, she hugged me back, before she pulled away and started to kiss me. We didn't believe nothing was wrong with PDA, even if we got a couple of nasty looks from a old couple who walked past us.

Jackie rested her hands on my shoulders as she looked at them giving us looks, I noticed as well. "Don't you just hate old people some times." as I said, "How about all the time." as she chuckled at me.

I took her by the hand and led her to the table I was sitting in, she sat down and just asked the waiter for a glass of water and salsa and chips.

"Do you every feel like everyone staring at you?" as I chuckled, "I mean all the time, for reason you don't even know." as I snacked on a chip.

"I'm serious An, I feel like a freakshow, I'm the girl who survived a animal attack." as I said, "Hey at least you made it out alive, I mean look at you, you're thrilling."

She chuckled "I mean barely. My parents want to send me to boarding school," as I choked on my lemonade, "W-What?" as she sighed adding, "Yep. Mrs. Daisy Boarding School For Troubled Girls, it would be until I'm 18."

"God that name sounds awful." as she said, "It does, plus it's catholic school." as she added, "My parents are trying to mold me into the "perfect daughter." with good grades, good house, no drugs and a good husband."

I narrowed my eyes, "Do they know that you're-" as she added, "A lesbian? Yeah, still doesn't mean they don't want me to change, find god and reserve myself, but to real, I don't even think heaven or hell wants me, nobody does.'

I looked at her deeply, I felt deeply connected to her, like we were both kindred spirts.

I took her hand, "I think you're perfect." I was being honest, Jackie smiled at me, rubbing her thumb over my hand.

"You're not the only one, I mean my dad is really chill with me being bisexual, he's really support and I'm glad he doesn't want to force me to change."

"We'll I ever get a change to meet the famous Jeremey Gilbert?" as I chuckled rolling my eyes, "Probably not for a while now, work keeps him busy."

"Oh, well my dad's a dentist and my mom's a lawyer so, they're barely home meaning I spend a lot of time, drinking, and drugging it up."

"Sounds fun." as Jackie shook her head back and forth saying, "Hey let's ditch this lame picnic and go hang out just the two of us, my mom's and dad are gone all day, empty house, no parents, built in bar."

"Sounds like cocktails to me." as Jackie grin, "I'm in, are you?" as I said, "I was suppose to meet and hang with Stef and my uncle and aunt, but, let's do it, we can always hang out another day." as Jackie smirked before taking my hand as the two of us left the Grill and too her house.

"I made peace, something you should have did with Taylor the second she came back to town." as I chuckled in sarcasm, "No, because incase you forget she literally killed me."

"I know, she did, but Stef, she's stronger okay more deadly, you have no time to worry about her, you need to focus on more important things like school." as I said, "Yes, because school is going to heal all my problems." as I took off my apron.

My aunt Bonnie had decided to set up a small BBQ spot for the kids, she got my dad to get his grill out and him along with the rest of the adults were helping. Ezra was there fixing lemonade.

"Stefanie, this is good, ok, don't do anything to Taylor, you understand me?" as I stayed quiet as my mom said, "Stef-" as I said, "Fine, Fine alright." as she said, "Thank you." before giving a man a bag of chips.

My dad who had a meat thermometer in his hand said to me and my mom, "Hey you two are making the meat cranky, mind spreading some positive vibes?" as he gave us a smile.

"Would love nothing more." my mom said giving him a smile back before turning to me.

I rolled my eyes at her before I turned to the other side of the table only to find Mackenzie passing out juice.

"It's official I'm in hell." as she joked, "Now that doesn't sound very positive of you." as I glared at her. "Ok, so you're in that kind of mood." as I said, "I'm serious, there is no way, I'm letting Taylor run scot free."

"Or you can do what we're all doing, just ignoring them." as I said, "Ignoring them isn't going to do anything, their like pests, they won't go away." as Mackenzie chuckled, which is when Nancy popped up.

Her hair was put into a high ponytail as she wore a cherry two piece with red sandals, along with red nails to match, "Hey guys." she told us as I said, "Hi Nance." as Mackenzie said, "Hey Nance."

"It's literally hot as hell, but since founding families are stuck here, I had to come." as I said, "Me and you are having the exact same kind of day." as she chuckled at me, "My folks won't stop hovering."

"Ours are the same with the recent attacks, everybody on edge." as I said, "I could use something to take the edge of." as she reached into her bag before pulling out a tiny bottle of Vodka.

"Shot?" she asked as I looked to Mackenzie and she looked back at me, "The hell with it." as Nancy took a sip before I did and Mackenzie following.

"Thanks." I said as Nancy said, "Welcome." as she put the bottle back into her bag, as she added, "Now I would like a nice glass of juice please." as I said, "On the way." as she said, "Thanks again Stef." leaning herself on the table.

"Mayor Lockwood." he told her as Tyler looked up at him. "Please Ben, outside of uniform, just call me Tyler." as he said with a chuckle, "Well Tyler, you got a second." as he said, "Yea sure." he said after handing a little girl a cupcake, Caroline walked off.

"I want to talk about the council." as Tyler said, "What about the council?" as he chuckled, "Come on Tyler, let's not act stupid." as Tyler slowly turned to look at them, "I'm not a non believer, I know vampires exist."

Tyler looked shocked before looking around to make straight eye contact with Caroline who was listening on on their conversation.

He cleared his throat looking back at Mr. Fell. "I have no idea what you're talking about." as he said, "Yes you do." as he said, "And do you realize you have vampires living among you."

"Really?" as he said, "Yes. I recommend looking into the Salvatore Family. Damon and Elena."

"Their humans." as Mr. Fell added  "Yes they are but their history in this town is a strange one."

"It's their daughter Stefanie Salvatore." as he said, "Don't be ridiculous. Stef not a vampire, she's a good kid." as he added,  "Please, she's dead one minute and now out of nowhere it becomes a missing person's report and she's magically found by Sheriff Donovan."

"And don't play sorry because she shared a couple of kisses with you're daughter." as he said, "For you're information and as a warning, don't bring up my daughter again, and stay away from the Salvatore's, I'm not saying that as you're friend but as you're mayor."

He walked off from Mr. Fell who looked back at him, as he huffed out of frustration.

The house was two story and it was also white with a American flag flying through the air, two fresh pots of roses on the side of the house and a "Welcome Matt."

I grinned, Jackie who had already gotten the key from under the matt, turned to me. "Hey stalker, you gonna check out my house or are you gonna come inside?"

I chuckled, "Yeah, I'm coming." as I grabbed her hand as we both went inside.

On the inside the Vazquez home, the first things you saw was the stairs in the middle of the room, the flat screen TV hanged on the wall, the cream colored couch the dinning room table and in the other room was the kitchen.

"You have a amazing house." I told her as she said, "This place isn't nothing." as she took my hand again saying, "Come on this is the best part." as she took me back to the outside of her house.

When we went outside, I noticed the pool too, and the hot tube, Jackie's parents were rich.

But it was the bar that really shocked me. "Wow!" I said surprised when I caught the full look of it.

It was a backyard bar with little lights, and some seats for people along with different kinds of alcohols and fancy cups.

The TV was currently playing some reality tv. "This is great." as Jackie said, "I know, this is where I get all my booze from." as she said, "Now sit, let me be you're bartender for tonight." as I grabbed a seat as Jackie went behind back.

"I know you just applied at the grill, let me give you some tips." as I chuckled at her, just being with Jackie brought me so much comfort.

"Now what cocktail would you like my good women?" as I said, "Mmm, does the bartender know how to make a pina colda?" as she smirked, "You bet she does." as she got out all she needed as I grinned at Jackie brightly.

"Well, Taylor, see you're already making friends." as I chuckled, "Stefanie." as she took a strawberry, "I heard Grace talk to my mom." as I said, "That she did, offered peace between you're side and us."

"Is that peace gonna stuck?" I asked her as she sighed, "Depends if you piss me off or not." as I gave a brief smile, "Oh so this peace treaty all depends if you're not pissed, trust me dear cousin, you being pissed is nothing to me."

She glared at me and I back at her, "You're little kitty glare is adorable." as she rolled her eyes, when one of the kid came up offering Stefanie a cup of lemonade, "Cup of lemonade Miss Salvatore."

Stefanie forced a smile on her face, "Thank you dear." as she took the glass, as the child went on.

Stefanie drank some of the lemonade, but after a bit she turned her head to the other side to spit it out onto the ground. Unaware Mr. Fell was watching from afar.

Her parents heard her coughs as Stefanie fell to the ground, "Stef!" her mom said rushing over to her daughter, her father placed down the plate before going over.

I backed away from her, seeing her throat start to turn red. Josie once talking to Hope saw Stefanie on her knees and rushed over, and immediately next to her was also Saige.

"Stefanie, sweetie what's wrong?" her mother asked frantic, holding her cheeks, while her father brought her over to a seat as Stefanie croaked out, "V-Vervain, it's vervain."

"How could they find out?" Ms. Forbes said arms folded turning to Tyler.

Tyler sighed. "No, we always said animal attacks." as Miss Bennett said, "How long can animal attacks be a cover though."

"Bonnie has a point." Mr. Donovan said, he had came over after seeing Stefanie in pain, "Who could know?" as Tyler looked up at them. "Mr Fell."

"Nancy's father? Why would he think that." as Mr. Salvatore said, "Because he's been hellbent on our family the minute we said Stef came back."

"Then we need to something." Mrs. Salvatore said springing to her feet, "Do what, there's too many people."

"And decides, what are we going to do anyway?" Lizzie asked the others, as Mr. Salvatore suggested, "Kill him." as Mrs. Salvatore said, "Damon, and how are suppose to do that, were not killers."

Stefanie spit out some of her water, "I am." rising from her seat in order to look Mr. Fell in his eyes, he saw Stefanie and gave a friendly grin and wave while talking to his wife.

"Stef, we can't kill Nancy's dad." as Stefanie said, "He's a abusive a-hole, not like Nancy will miss him." as Josie said, "No, Stef." as she held Stefanie's cheek in her hand. "Look at me and breath, ok."

Josie put her and Stefanie's forehead's together, Stefanie let her vampire hearing kick in and she listened in on Josie's slow steady heartbeat. The heartbeat she listen to when her and Josie would fall asleep side by side. The heartbeat that she learned to remember. The heartbeat she had grown to love.

"Thank you." Stefanie said as Josie nodded kissing her cheek.

"Don't ask me any questions, we have one of them." the deputies looked at him before asking, "A vampire?" in quiet before he nodded to him. "Yes, bring the weapons, we need them all." as they nodded.

"You'll know when you find her, when you do. You kill her." He told them as they all split off.

Nancy who after talking to one of her friends noticed her step-father start to stroll off from the large crowd, she huffed rolling her eyes at him, crossing her arms going towards him.

"Well, you lasted longer than 2 seconds." he brought his eyes up to her, before scoffing, "Sorry Nanc, but I got bigger problems to deal with then you're constant moaning in my ear."

Nancy rolled her eyes at him shaking her head in disappoint, "My mom's gonna flip when she finds out you left, you full of beer again Ben?"

His temper spiked up before he sneered to Nancy all in her face, "You don't ever address me as Ben. You understand me?!" as Nancy took in deep breathes to clam herself down.

He snatched her wrist tightly. "Stop you're hurting me?!" she said to him as he said, "Shut up, or I swear I'll give you something to cry about. Now you listen to me and you listen good."

Nancy stayed quiet before Mr. Fell said to her, "You're gonna tell you're mother I left earlier for a work call, and if I even hear a single word of this conversation to you're mother. You're freaking dead."

"Understand?" he asked, Nancy stayed quiet before he brought her closer to her, "Understand?!" with a small sneer of anger as she started to tear up saying, "Y-Yes." as he nodded regaining his calmness.

"Good." he told he letting her arm go, she took her arm back before rubbing it seeing a small bruise start to form, she wiped her eyes carefully to re do her makeup before rising her eyes back at her step father.

"Decides, if she's still mad at me when she gets home, I'll make it up to her in bed." as he smirk to himself, Nancy giving him a small glare of disgust as he turned away to leave Nancy stunned.

"I don't know what you too are talking about, the ribs are better than the burgers." Saige told me and Char, while she was pulling apart at the tender meat on the bones.

"The ribs are good yeah, Saige but you have got to try the burgers." as Saige gave a brief eye roll at Char's comment. "Aren't you eating a veggie burger?" as Charlotte nodded taking a swallow, with a small smile "Mr. Salvatore was thankful enough to put one of my bean burgers on the grill."

Saige faked barfed at Charlotte who gave her a glare while I laughed at the two.

Nancy came up to the three of us looking a bit distraught. Charlotte noticing put her burger down wiping her eyes.

"Nancy what's wrong?" as Nancy said wiping her eyes briefly. "My step-father is a fricking imbecile in bad khaki pants." as I asked her, "What happened?"

"I-I don't know, one minute he's fine as far as fine is for him and then next his talking to the officers about something and leaves." as I turned to the others.

Nancy noticed our looks and glances at one another. "What?" she asked as she added, "What's with all the faces?" as I took in a deep breathe along with the others.

"Nancy? Where is you're step dad now?" Saige asked her as Nancy said, "I don't know probably the woods I saw him go out there. Why?"

"It's nothing Nancy." Charlotte said wiping her hands off rising to her feet before taking Nancy's hands in her own. "Okay Nancy, I will talk to you when I get home, right now I need you to get you're mom and go home."

"What? No Char, I'm not leaving-" as Charlotte tightened her grip on Nancy's arms before mumbling, "Sorry Nancy, but I wasn't asking." as she began to compel her.

"You're going to go with you're mom, pack up and go home, and you're going to reset, drink some water, take a nice hot bath and forget all about whatever hell you're step dad put you through."

Nancy nodded blinking her eyes as Charlotte let go of her hands. "Ok, I gotta go. I'll see you guys." Nancy told us before waving goodbye.

Once go, Charlotte began to walk further towards the woods. "Char, where are you going?" I asked her as Charlotte told me, "Ssh. I need to be able to hear."

"Something's wrong guys." she told me before she began to listen in with her vamp hearing, moving her hair from her ear, her eyes closed for concentration.

"Hi Mr. Fell." she told him with a small hidden smirk, as Mr. Fell bought his phone down slowly from his ear.

"Hi Stefanie." as she said arms crossed, "Nice trick with the vervain in the lemonade. Seems like you know."

"But that's ok, because you are not going to jeopardize my family. Don't wait for me. I'm gonna give you a head start." as her eyes flash to their vampire ones.

Mr. Fell narrowed his eyes as Stefanie started to charge at him, but before she could she was pushed to a tree by Max.

Mr. Fell looked on confused, he didn't expect him. Stefanie groaned to herself as he started to choke her, she kicked him off of with her leg. "Who are you?" she asked him.

He wiped his bottom lip off before saying, "Jeez, you don't recognize me, don't expect you too. You killed my brother the night of the comet!"  as Stefanie looked on confused before she took in a sigh.

"The vampire from the building." she mumbled to herself before rising her eyes to look at Max. "Who do you guys work for, was it same person who attack the school?" as Max told him, "Aw you sweet dumb little thing, you're asking too many questions."

"And you're going after a 17 year old, what does that say about you?" as she circled him waiting for him to attack her.

"You fight like a girl." he said as Stefanie sneered, "Seems like I fight pretty well. Let's ask you're brother huh?"

He charged at her before he swung.

Stefanie dodged his punch as he picked up a fallen branch to stab her in the stomach with, she groaned to herself in pain as he pushed her into a tree and shoved the branch deeper.

"You're going to say his name as you die." as Stefanie groaned to herself before she knew, Max was thrown into a nearby tree as he hit it was such force it knocked him out briefly.

Stefanie looked on surprised to see it was Taylor standing there, as she moved her hair out of her face. "You're welcome." she told her as Taylor pulled the branch out for her as Stefanie yelped.

"I didn't need you're help." shoving her in the shoulder as she walked as Taylor said, "Sure because it obviously looked like you were winning." as Stefanie rolled her eyes before turning her attention back to Mr. Fell.

"Well, well. If it isn't the abusive step father. From what I know, it seems you know a bit too much information, one that kinda puts my life in this town in harms way. The simply thing to do would be to compel you to forget, but what's the fun in that?" as her eyes went to her hybrid ones.

"What the hell are you?" he asked her as Taylors said to him, "Something you could never dream off."

Before Taylor could strike at him, Mr. Fell bend down and a wave of shots ring out, hitting both Stefanie and Taylor. Taylor groaned to herself seeing the bullets in her chest while Stefanie fell to the ground.

Taylor picked one of the bullets out of her, before her eyes glowed going to charge at the officers before the one's behind her shot her more, causing her eyes to fade and her to drop to the ground on her stomach a couple of inches from Stefanie who laid on her back.

"Ok, I will be the first to say this is the best pina colda I've ever had, as the first one I've ever had." as I chuckled and Jackie following after. "I have no idea you knew how to make drinks like that?" as  Jackie, "You get drunk a few times and drink ideas just start coming out of nowhere."

Jackie took a sip of her drink, while I grinned at her before putting my cup down briefly. "It's getting cold out here, wanna go to my room?"

When getting ask to go to a girl's one, it only meant one thing.

Annabelle took in a breathe, before saying, "Sure why not." as Jackie smirked almost seductively, before grabbing her free hand and leading her to her bedroom.

They went up to her bedroom, and not even too second into grabbing her hand, Jackie grabbed Annabelle by her neck pulling her into a passionate kiss, Annabelle kissed back, her hands going to Jackie's waist.

Jackie smiled against Annabelle's lips, and Annabelle smiled onto her's. Jackie parted her lips softly allowing Annabelle to slip her tongue inside, they kicked off their shoes and their socks.

Annabelle had never been this far into a make out session with Jackie, giving their last one was... interrupted.

Jackie pulled away for a second in order to look deep into Annabelle's eyes. Annabelle smiled to her, her eyes full of a deep expression. "Is this ok?" as Annabelle nodded to her, "I've never done this before, is that ok?" as Jackie said, "Don't worry I'll show you." as she wiped Annabelle's bottom lip with her thumb.

Jackie kissed Annabelle again before forcing her head up in order to kiss up and down her neck, making Annabelle smile and holding onto her shoulder, squeezing slightly.

Jackie fell onto her bed, Annabelle on top of her, they kissed heavily, their breathes panted as Annabelle stopped in order to see Jackie put a finger over her lips and ssh her.

Annabelle hovered above her to witness Jackie lift her shirt over her head leaving herself in her blue bra. Annabelle analyzed her body, the way her skin seemed to glow in her bedroom lights, the tiny scar above her waist from a motorcycle incident and her abs.

"You're turn." Jackie said to her with a tiny grin. Annabelle nodded before doing the same thing, only when her shirt got stuck, Jackie tugged her out of it, messing up her hair in the process.

Jackie smiled at the bra Annabelle choose to wear. "Black, my favorite color." as Annabelle grinned.

Jackie and her kiss again, Jackie's fingers running through Annabelle's hair, pulling her hair out of it's braid as Annabelle started to kiss her chest, holding Jackie by her back making Jackie whimper softly into her ear.

Jackie flipped Annabelle over, to the point where Annabelle was now on bottom. "I'm really loving this An." as Annabelle said with a smile out of breath, "Me too."

Jackie hooked her finger into Annabelle's belt loop, she started to pull them down before Annabelle out of fear shot up quickly to stop her. Jackie jolted "Wait!-" as Jackie looked at her.

"Is everything ok, are we moving too fast?" as Annabelle shook her head, "No, not at all. I want this but-" as she got quiet. Jackie rose up to where she now straddle Annabelle. "What's wrong An, what are you not telling me?"

"You won't want me anymore." Annabelle sniffled to herself, before Jackie rose her head up with her chin putting her hands on Annabelle's cheek. "That's impossible, you can tell me anything."

"I-I'm. I'm trans..." Jackie looked on as Annabelle said, "And I have all my surgeries, but my vaginal restitution." as Annabelle slowly rose her eyes at her. "S-So you have a penis?"

Even with the serious tone, Jackie knew when to add humor to the moment.

"Um, yeah when you put it like that." as Jackie gently kissed Annabelle's cheek. "Ok, do you want to start going by a different name or would you like to update pronouns?"

Annabelle grinned, "No, Ann is fine and so is she/her."

"Alright." as Jackie rubbed her thumb, "How are you going to pay for the surgery?" as Annabelle said, "Well I was doing just fine selling but my cousin caught me so, working at the Grill I guess."

"Plus my dad helping too and so is the rest of my family." as Jackie said, "That's amazing, having a family on you're side."

"It does, doesn't it." before she knew it, Annabelle wiped a tiny tear from her eyelid, "If you want to stop now I wouldn't be shocked." as Jackie said, "Oh no, no, we do not have to stop. I may be a lesbian Ann, but that doesn't mean I haven't slept with a guy before, I know what I'm doing."

"Who was it?" as Jackie rolled her eyes saying, "It was Trevor."

Annabelle looked at her shocked. "Yeah believe it not, we had made ourself a sex pact, if one of us didn't get laid before sophomore year we would bone one another and trust me that experience quickly made me realize I'm extremally gay."

"So," as Jackie said hands back on Annabelle's waist. "Is this ok with you, Annabelle?" as Annabelle said, "Yes."

Jackie smiled at her before said, "Good, now do me a favor and unclip that bra." as Annabelle sat up in order to do what she was told by Jackie, letting her bra fall to the ground.

Jackie smiled at her fullness, as she started to play with Annabelle's nipples making Annabelle start to pant and smile to herself, "How quickly can you cum Ann?"

Annabelle looked at her nervous, "Depends." as Jackie smiled before she pulled down Annabelle's pants to see a bit of her underwear "God, you're already wet, I've barely done anything to you."

"Can't help it." as Jackie said, "Who said I was mad about that?" as Jackie forced Annabelle out of her pants.

And her underwear.

"You look so good baby." as Jackie asked, "You ready?" as Annabelle said, "Just do me already." as Jackie smiled adding, "Just needed you're premission first."

Annabelle wouldn't lie she never thought a woman's tongue could so many things, soo many things.

Annabelle started to pant to herself slowly, trying to hold in her noises, but when Jackie speed up it was over.

Annabelle whined and moaned, all night she wouldn't be surprised if they disturb the neighbors, if it wasn't her moaning it would be huffing or the bedframe slamming against the wall.

The night was full of pleasure and so much of it, she pleased Jackie either by kissing her chest, or shoving herself inside of her, to the point where she had made Jackie cum at least four to five times.

Annabelle alined herself up with Jackie's entrance, her hands moving to Jackie's shoulders, Jackie nodded to her letting her know she was ready for her and with that Annabelle thrusted herself into Jackie, which made Jackie whimper and Annabelle to smirk and go inside futher.

She moved in a slow place in order to give Jackie time to adjust, Jackie was clearly in discomfort. She would say it, Annabelle was totally a lot bigger than Travis easily a good eight inches.

Her eyesbrow furred so Annabelle kissed her in order to distract her from the pain. "It's ok, I got you Jack." she said to her in between pants and whimpers of her own.

Annabelle rolled her hips as well, Jackie gasping at her hitting a certain spot, while they kissed again, Jackie's pain fading and pleasure overwhelming her, their bodies molded perfectly, Annabelle burried her face into Jackie neck while Jackie held Annabelle by her back, wrapping her hands around her, she loved how smooth she was, her legs tangled to Annabelle's back.

Before long Annabelle started to grow slow, and Jackie looked like she was about to give out too, Jackie looked deep into Annnabelle's eyes before getting a piece of Annabelle's hair and tucking it behind her ear, and from that moment Annabelle knew she had fallen in love with Jackie.

"J-Jackie, I-I-I'm about too-" as Jackie panting, "Same." before Annabelle hung her head while Jackie hanged her's, before both reached their climax, letting out loud moans in the process.

Annabelle moved her hair which was sweaty and fluffly out of her face before smiling down at her girlfriend, a smile teasing her own face as well, before pulling herself out of Jackie.

She did bring a condom in case, she stole it from the medicine cabinet of the Salvatore house, she questioned why it would be there considering the fact that the last person Stefanie would be banging would be a dude, so if it wasn't for her...

Maybe that's how Aunt Elena got pregnant so fast...

Jackie pulled Annabelle's body to her, Annabelle laying on top of her their hands locking as she kissed up and down her neck, the blanket covering their lowering half's

Annabelle moved down to Jackie's legs spreading them apart as she hovered over her entrance as she kissed it gently pushing her face inside as she starting to lick at her folds as Jackie moaned loudly squeezing the pillow for support, letting Annabelle please her for the rest of the afternoon.

Her hearing was pitched, the sounds of ringing filled them, while her vision was blurred, she looked to see Stefanie still passed out being dragged as well.

She had no idea where she was being taken either, probably and most likely some vampire torture hell.

"Go down the stairs to the left." she heard Mr Fell said along with some words that consisted off, "That vervain and bullets won't hold them."

Before she knew it she was place inside one of the old slave ruins of the Lockwood ease, she knew this place, she remembered when Lupita Lockwood complained to her husband about getting rid of the slave ruins, and use it for much better use, but what could she say Benjamin wouldn't have any other say.

"What is this place?" one of the deputies, adding, "It's freaking me out."

"This is the old Lockwood ease, use to be a slave ruins." as they placed Taylor down onto the freezing ground, next to her was Stefanie.

She took in panted breathes while she did she overheard more conversation between Mr. Fell and the rest of the deputies.

"Now kill them both." he ordered to them, as one of the deputies said, "We will, but you can't be present, this is for you're protection."

"I don't care about this, I'm a council member, seeing them dead will bring me more ease-" as Deputy Jamal told him, "We weren't asking, this is now in our hands, that and Sheriff Donovan's."

Mr. Fell gave out a frustrated groan before saying, "Fine, don't take any chances with them. Especially that one, she's older than Stefanie. More deadly, much more powerful." as Mr. Fell left leaving the deputies with her and Stefanie.

I huffed, "I'm just saying Char, we need to be certain." as Charlotte said, "Yes I get that, but you're paranoia is making you sound like that." as I rolled my eyes at her.

I had gather the others, which included me, Lizzie, Josie, MG, Kaleb, Landon, Rafeal, Charlotte, Saige, Mackenzie, Ezra and Nia.

"Why would Mr. Fell take Stefanie?" MG asked as Lizzie said, "Because MG, he certainly has a mega thing for Salvatore's and when I say that I mean Stefanie." as Ezra said with her nose curled up and her eyebrows winkled, "Please don't ever say that again."

"I didn't mean it like that Hermione." Lizzie sassed to her, as Ezra said, "Whatever you say Reginia George." as Kaleb said, "Hey please don't start." as Lizzie said, "She started it." as Ezra said, "No I ended it." running ahead of Lizzie, who rolled her eyes.

The group stopped once noticing the smell of blood including how it splattered on the nearby trees. Saige touched the bark only for her hand to be covered in it. "It's Stef's."

"How the hell did you know that, just based on blood." as Saige said, "I just know." as Charlotte said, "Mhmm." causing Saige to narrow her eyes. Josie eyed Saige and Saige said, "I swear Jo, it's Stef."

"Then we need to move." Josie said which is when Nia stopped them saying, "Wait." as she held her hand, the group watched as fog started to surround the area and it was a play by play of what happened.

To Stefanie comforting Mr, Fell, to her getting attacked to Taylor stepping in as well. "Great, it's not just Stefanie." as Rafeal said, "It's Taylor too."

"You're telling me bullets were strong enough to take Taylor out?" Mackenzie asked. "No, couldn't have been, Taylor's too strong for that and that's coming from me." I told them.

"Who's him?" Kaleb asked pointing at the guy who was able to pin Stefanie to the tree. "Who the hell is that?" as they watched as he stabbed Stefanie with a fallen branch.

"You guys seem him before?" Landon asked, Charlotte, Mackenzie and the others shook their heads. "No."

"Ok, so we have Stef, Taylor and from his strength I can conclude another vampire." as Saige said, "So more vampires in Mystic Falls, just what this town needs." Ezra said as Nia let her spell fall.

Charlotte took in a deep breathe including MG, "What?" Landon asked, "You're vampire senses going off?" as Saige briefly grin at Landon, as Char said, "Blood. I can practically smell it miles away, those bullets really pierced through."

That's when they noticed Mr. Fell. Hope looked to him. "You kids shouldn't be out here, it's dangerous in theses woods, especially with the coming nightfall." as he grinned pointing to the sunset overtaking the woods.

"Weird, we were about to ask you the same thing Mr. Fell. You shouldn't be out here either, giving all the things that happen to people who are so vulnerable." her eyes fell onto him.

He chuckled at Josie's words, while Josie just glared at him. "Have you seen Stefanie? About 5'6. Jet black hair, the brightest blue eyes to ever exist."

"Y-You kids are from the Salvatore School." referring to me, Josie, Lizzie, MG, Kaleb, Saige, and Rafeal. "Yes you are. Never seen any of you at the Highschool. Must get lonely up there, all by yourself a bunch of trouble kids."

I smiled at him before adding "What do gain from seeing the Salvatore family fall? Ego stroke?"

"A simple mood boast sweetheart. And I've seen Stefanie along with the other girl too. About 5'7. Brown hair with a bit blonde highlights."

"Good, you've seen them both, now where are they?" MG asked him. "Why not, go ahead Charlotte and sniff them out, giving you're vampire nature."

"Does you're mommy know what you are sweetheart. Probably because she's one too huh?" as Charlotte eyed him.

"I know about all the cover ups. About my son's death!-" as Charlotte yelled to him, "Don't even use Wyatt as a blame, he hated you and you hated him, you abusive son of a b*tch!"

He laughed at Charlotte pointing a gun at her, which he had loaded with wooden bullets. "Watch you're mouth little girl." as Charlotte eyes went to her hybrid ones her fangs out, "Come and make me, old man."

"I know everything, And I know I'm going make sure all of you're family falls." as he pointed the gun

Charlotte, Mackenzie, Ezra, Nia and Saige nodded to one another before they walked towards him, before he could he caught me from behind and strangled me, with one of his arm.

"One more and I'll throw you're friend in jail." as Charlotte laughed, "Please it's you who should be worried." as Saige said, "Very, very worried."

Before he knew it, I said, "Fluctus inpulsa." and it ended Mr. Fell back as he landed on the ground. I turned to look at him. "Seems you forget to do more studying, or else you would have been warned about me."

He rose to his feet to look at Hope, who took in a deep breathe was about to say, "Regel-" but Grace came out of nowhere and slammed Mr. Fell into a tree he went flying before he hit it with such force he grew unconscious.

The others turned to look at her, Grace simply took a piece of her hair behind her ear saying, "Now that's enough of that. He talks too much for me."

"Grace." I said as she said, "Hope." as Saige asked, "What the hell do you want?" as Grace look offended, "I'm sorry, but I just save you're asses, and this is what I get?" as Landon said, "We had it handled."

"Of course you did my sweet dumb thing." "You're here for Taylor?" as Grace said, "Duh, I'm not here to save Stefanie now aren't I?"

"Now, are we going to marvel at my appearance or go get them." as Grace shrugged her shoulder before walking ahead of us.

"I hate her." Charlotte said as Lizzie said, "I do too, but no the less, she's killing that black dress." as we al turned to look at her. "What, you can't lie, black is her color."

"Gotta agree with Lizzie, sexy as hell." with a smirk, as Lizzie nodded to herself. I huffed rolling my eyes at them both walking ahead the others following me.

MG brought Lizzie and Kaleb to him before nodding in their approval, as Lizzie and Kaleb looked at one another. "Sexy as hell." before going with the others.

"Why the hell would they come down here?" Tyler asked as they walked in the woods, "Who knows, maybe they got bored." Caroline suggested to me as Damon asked, "Have you meet our kids, sneaky little gremlins."

"That's our kids." Bonnie said, before they realized, they saw Mr. Fell unconscious by the tree. "Oh my god!" I said, as Tyler went over as Caroline asked, "Is he ok? as he felt for his pulse.

"He's alive, whatever knocked him out, had to be strong." as Bonnie folded her arms, "Question is what are we going to do with him?" as Matt ask, "Is that really something to think about right now while he laying unconscious in front of us?"

"Yes." Damon and Bonnie said at the same time.

"Guys, we'll deal with him later, we need to get to the kids." as Damon grunted out of frustration personally wanting to deal with Ben right here right now.

I grabbed his hand, running my thumb over his hand. "Damon." her voice gentle and sweet nodding to him to spare Mr. Fell.

Damon turned to look at me, before sighing. His daughter was more important than some petty revenge, so he continued to run with the others.

"Hello boys." told them with a little smirk laying on her back, groaning to herself at the bullet in my waist, stopping me from moving.

"Now, you give us a answer when we speak to you." as I hissed to them, "Or what?" now leaning up as he pointed the gun to my forehead, "That's what."

She smirked to them, "Well if that's what you want and if you're so curious, go ahead and ask."

"How many vampires are there. Where are you all hiding?" as I smirk to them, he then shot me in the shoulder causing me to scream in pain and fall back to her back.

"Wrong answer." as I huffed out. "How are you able to fool us, look human, walk in the sun." as I joked, "My good looks." as he shot Stefanie in her leg, she didn't respond giving her unconscious.

"I will make this the worst hour of you're life." as one of the other deputies got out some vervain as I glared at them, before looking back to Stefanie.

"What is this place?" Rafeal asked as Saige said, "Old Lockwood estate, my dad brought me here once, it was when I had a history project due, had to take a bunch of pictures of a historical place."

Charlotte used to her hearing to hear one of the deputies, "Let's not even keeping asking. They both don't know anything, go ahead and kill them."

"There going to kill them. Taylor and Stef."

Grace and Josie starting to motion forward before they heard "Kids wait!" seeing Elena and the others. "Oh crap." Mackenzie said.

"Mom." Charlotte said to her as Caroline said, "Grace." her eyes going to her vampire eyes, Grace glared at her. "Ugh, I don't have time for this." as she vamp speed downstairs.

Josie turned to go too. "Josie no-" as Josie blurted out to Elena, "They have Stefanie! There going to kill her."

Elena rushed to the ruins hearing about her daughter's capture, Damon following along with Josie and the others.

Before they could, they hear the metallic creaking sound, he turned to one of the deputy. "Go check that out, and seal those doors." as he turned back to Taylor, who laid on the ground smirking at him.

"Wonder who that could be." before they knew it. They heard one of the deputy get tossed into a wall, banging on it. The others turned.

Suddenly Grace circled around them with her vampire speed pulling each deputy into the darkness, killing them by either snapping their necks or biting them draining them of blood, the deputy fired at her but she used a dead body to protect herself throwing it at Deputy Jamal.

Elena rushed in hearing the shots being fired, "Stop please!" as he told her, "Mrs. Salvatore what are you doing here!" "You can't kill them. Either of them." she said looking down at Taylor on the ground before seeing her daughter as well.

"Stand down now!" Matt said, the others gathering inside. Jamal found himself to his feet, which is the same time Grace had came outside of the shadows to show Jamal her vampire face, blood smearing her face, he looked to her terrfied.

He looked confused to how both Stefanie and Grace shared identical faces. "M-Matt, there vampires man!"

"Not them! There not bad vampires!" as Grace smirked to him inching closing to him. "What about you're daughter man, don't you care about her safety."

"Trust me, she can protect herself." he said looking to Mackenzie who grinned at her father.

He slowly put his gun down, as Matt said, "Come on Jamal, we've know each other for years, you know I've never let anything or anyone hurt Maya or Ethan."

"I'm sorry man, I can't let them go-" as he raised his guns about to fire before Taylor used her vampire speed in order to get up to her feet as she strangled him her hybrid eyes and fangs out as she began to feed on him.

"Taylor no!" Matt yelled to her, as Taylor rose her head up dropping Jamal's dead body to the ground.

She turned to the others, her face covered in blood, as she put her braid behind her once more saying, "It was so nice to finally kill him." as she sucked the blood from her finger and smirking to all of us, Matt glaring at her.

She rose her head up before making her way to her feet. "I can't believe you, you killed him!" as Taylor turned to face him. "You're point Matthew Donovan?"

"He was a father Taylor. A husband. Had two kids, what am I suppose to tell his kids that there dad isn't going to be home anymore." as Taylor rolled her eyes groaning, "I don't know nor do I care, the asshole was going to kill me."

"Decides do want you do best and simply cover it up, worked well with Wyatt didn't it?" as she turned to Charlotte who eyed her before saying, "You truly are terrible."

"Thank you." as she added, "And because of that, you are going to spend the rest of you're life alone and heartless."

Obviously Charlotte's words left Taylor a bit upset, she huffed at her, "Oh please let's not actually think that Wyatt of all people mean't something to you." as Charlotte said, "He was my boyfriend and I loved him and you took him anyway and not just from me but from his family."

Taylor rolled her eyes briefly, "You loved him, how cute." as Charlotte said, "Aw, what's wrong, you heart isn't programed for love?"

Taylor added, "Well was I a fool to think that Charlotte Isabella Forbes might acutally love me." as Charlotte gave a hysterically laugh to herself. "Me love you?! I'm going to be sick, I would never."

"Please when you were with Wyatt, you were too busy thinking about me." as Charlotte gave a disgusted look. "Whatever happened between me and you is dead and gone, that night was a mistake and wasn't even enjoyable, and the worst  7 hours of my life."

Taylor narrowed her eyes before a smirk grew on her face, "You're moans said otherwise and the fact that we went seven rounds back to back." as Charlotte looked distraught and a bit snaky by her response, obviously not wanting that information revealed outloud and especially not by Taylor herself.

Taylor stopped herself her hand laying on her chest, "My apologies not seven, eleven." as Taylor smirked to herself with a cheerful expression and laugh.

"Eleven rounds of beautiful, passionate, love making. That hybird on hybird stamia is delighful isn't it? " as she bit her lip.

Taylor added, "Though I do hope that you enjoyed your birthday, because I sure did, especially the cake and the whip cream." her voice growing seductive at the end which made Charlotte flustered and her cheeks grow rosy and the action caused Taylor's wicked smirk to grow thinking about the pleasuring night she spent with the young blonde across from her a couple of months ago.

She made her fingers into a V shape before putting her tongue though it with a wink of her eyes as Charlotte just simply scoffed when her cheeks stopped blushing shutting her eyes before she directed her eyes off of Taylor to Stefanie who started to stir on the ground.

"Well, well, rise and shine Stefanie, welcome back to the land of the living." as Stefanie groaned on the ground holding her head, Josie next to her while her mom was on her knees, craddling her belly.

"Ow, my head what happened?" as Josie said, "You were out for a while." as Stefanie said, "What?" before her mother went into her wound to fish out one of her bullets.

"Ow sh*t" Stefanie yelled out in pain. "Sorry honey." her mother said taking the bullet out of her leg as Stefanie groaned before falling back on the ground.

"You should feed a little Stef, it would help, you're in pain." Saige told her standing next to Rafeal, while concern.

"I'm ok." Stefanie said supporting herself with her eblows, while Saige added, "Stef I don't want you to be in pain-" as Josie gave a slit eye roll before adding, "She said she doesn't want it, alright?"

Josie gave her a look, as Saige stayed quiet, Stefanie notcied the two's rising tension.

"Hey, What up with you too?" Stefanie asked looking at the two girls, as Saige and Josie said at the same time, "Nothing." as Saige blew a strain of hair out of her face, while Josie moved her pigtail out of her face.

"Lovely, the love traingle hasn't changed since we left." Grace joked to herself, causing all three girls to glance at her.

"So I figure, you all are going to take care of the bodies." Grace asked them walking towards Taylo as Mackenzie said, "Yeah just dump all you're crap on us." as Grace said to her, "Awe at least you realize what you're worth."

Mackenzie charged at her, but Ezra held her back causing Grace to smirk to herself before she hooked her arm to Taylor leaning her head on Taylor's shoulder.

"And where are you two going?" Stefanie asked her, her mother helping her to her feet. "Home, this event was already a epic fail, why stay?"

Taylor went to leave but I held my arm out blocking her. "Move." Taylor told me, as my eyes flash to my wolf ones, "Make me." her eyes flashed to her hybird ones.

After a bit of a stare down, we both stopped, she huffed annoyed before turning back to me and the others.

"We have a problem, what the hell are we going to do with Mr. Fell?" Damon asked as Grace said, "Please once swift snap of a neck he's done."

"You can't kill a founder, we have enough problems as it is." Nia said to her as Grace asked, "Who's going to stop me you?" as Nia smile to her, "You've had a taste of my power Grace, sure you want more?" as Grace glared at her.

"Stop both you." Taylor said as Grace turned to her. "Please don't tell me you agree with them."

"We can't kill him, but as we all know based on today's event. He knows, and that puts us all at risk." as Stefanie asked her, "Then that leave us with one option, fix this. This whole thing."

"But I'm not going to lie, we need to clean this up." as she nodded to Shrieff Donovan, "You all need to get out of here, I need to report this in, Care do you mind taking Mackenzie home?"

"Of course, come on honey." Caroline told her, as both her, Charlotte and Mackenzie left, and soon so did the rest of us.

"Tell me this from the top, Kahina." as Kahina huffed to her.

Kahina was a tall elegant five foot ten woman, she was in her 20's. She had sharp dark cocca eyes with full lips currently highlighted in brown lip pen, she walked like royatly, stood tall, and pretty much looked down on everyone expect Cassidy.

Her hair was currently in butterfly locs and they were pushed to the side, she wore a black turtle neck with black pants and black heeled combat boots, with gold hoop earrings in her ear.

"Well, from what Michelle has told me, Max went after Stefanie." Kahina told her, her thick African accent shining through as Cassidy said, "That muscle head idiot." as they walked down the hall side by side. "Was Stefanie harmed?"

"Briefly by Max, but much more by the deptupties of Mystic Falls." as Cassidy looked to her. "Aparently from what I know, His name is Ben Fell." as Cassidy said, "A memeber of the Fell family, how lovely."

"Yes and since his step son death, he wants our lovely leading lady dead." as Cassidy said, "So no only do I have to deal with my daughter, I have to deal with this new founing pesk."

"Seems like it ma'am." as Cassidy groaned out, her frusation caused the lights above to flicker and the vases filled with fresh rose to expolde glass went everywhere, leaving Cassidy to pant

"We will deal with them." as Cassidy turned to her, "Kahina, you don't understand I need this to work! I need Taylor dead. I need my body, this body is farglie and weak. I'm a goddess stuck in a mortal's body!"

"I don't have acess to the power to defeat her, and it seems like every walking imbecile in this town is trying to stop that from happening!"

"Cassidy!" Kahina told her, stoping Cassidy from talking as she took in a deep breathe to clam herself. "We will take care of this. And stop Benjam Fell and anyone else who steps in you're way."

"You will be back in you're body before the time comes." as Cassidy said, "Thank you Kahina." as Kahina said, "You're welcome my lady." standing next to her, "Please have the maids to clean this up and replace the vases and roses."

"Right away." as Kahina went to walk away before Cassiday said, "And Kahina-" as Kahina turned to her, "Yes my lady." as Cassidy said, "I need Stefanie Salavtore on my side, she needs to see what a true monster her big cousin is."

"Of course." as Cassidy said, "Make today's event go away, make Mr. Fell go away." as Kahina smirked viciously. "I will." before walking off once more as Cassidy walked down the hall standing tall and brushing her hair out of her face.

I was dressed in a tank top with shorts my hair in a bun.

"We would like to report the sad news of the lost of five loyal officers to a tragic accident, including the death of co Officer, Jamal Machado, who had been with the station for 15 years."

I blew my cheeks out, my parents came into the living room to see me, my mom saw what I was watching, while my dad turned off the TV. "That's enough of that, don't you think." giving me a grin but all I could give back with a shurg.

"Stefanie know of this is you're fault, you know what right honey." as I said, "It is. That's six more bodies on my consicne, what's next the whole f*cking town? "

"Stef." my mother said, one at my lanuage and two of my doubt on myself. I laughed out burying my face into my hand.

"Elena." my dad said as my mom walked towards her. "None of this you're fault, baby girl. You can't control what happens and you surely can't control who dies."

"I know dad, but it still sucks." as my mom said holding my hand, "I know sweetheart." as I leaned my head on her shoulder cuddle up with her, my dad putting his hand on my shouler rubbing it in comfort giving me a grin of sympathy.

That's when we all heard a knock at the door. My mom got up from her seat on the couch to go towards the door and answer it only to see the others.

"Oh my god, what are you all doing here." as Dr. Saltzman said, "We have a problem?" as my dad asked, "What could possible be wrong now? It's ten at night, can't it wait." as Mr. Donvoan came inside.

"Matt, what's wrong?" he was joined with My aunt Bonnie, Caroline, Mr. Lockwood, Charlotte, Mackenzie, Saige, Nia, Ezra, Rafeal, MG, Kaleb, Hope, Josie, Lizzie and Landon.

"Babe." Josie said going to hug me as I hugged her back. "I went to clean things up me and the others to go put the bodies to rest but once we got there everything was gone."

I rose up to my feet, "What do you mean everything was gone?" as Dr. Saltzman said, "The bodies Stef." as my dad asked, "Who would take them?" as Nia asked, "Trust us we all asked the same thing, but it wasn't even that, that shocked us."

Ezra looked around the house before asking, "By the way, where's Anna?" as I folded my arms saying, "She texted me she was spending the night at Jackie's." as Charlotte said, "At least she's safe right."

"Yeah in the arms of Jackie Valdez." Ezra said folded her arms.

Nia said getting back on track, "The whole scence was clean almost like a professional did it." as I asked, "So what somebody is trying to cover up there tracks."

"Not there tracks, our's." as Saige said, "So were getting help from some mystery cleaning crew, lovely." as Mackenzie said, "We've looked all day, but we've found nothing."

"I'm going with Matt to look for the bodies tomorrow, would either of you like to join?" as my dad asked, "Do we have a choice, since once again even as humans were saving this town's ass."

"It's what we do best Damon." my mom said. "But the real reason we came is because, Stefanie told me to text everyone."

"What's going on Stef?" Hope asked me, standing next to Landon. "I did text Josie, to text all of you because I'll say it first and I mean it when I say this but whatever's going on we don't know what it is, nor do we know how to deal with it."

"Stef, we've pushed out worst, surely this won't shake us up." Lizzie told me as I said, "No. This is different, more dangerous and we all are strong, but were not strong enough."

"And we need help, as much as we can get." as MG asked me, "And who would be willngly to help us, let alone be powerful enough too?" as Stefanie said, "I know two people, but you guys have to trust me."

"Well you know I do." Saige said, I smiled to her, for trusting my judgement. "You know we do too." Charlotte said along with Mackenzie.

I smiled at my bestfriends, before saying, "Hope?" as Hope said, "It's me and you Stef, you know that." as Josie squeezed my hand, and kissed it, "To the end babe." as I smiled to her gently kissing her cheek.

The other squad memebers nodded. "Dr. Saltzman?" as he said, "You are a Salvatore, so whoever you're gonna pull out, I know we need."

"Parents." as Caroline sighed, "Mom?" Charlotte said. "Ok, you got our vote." as I stood by the stairs.

"You guys can come out now." they turned their attention in order to watch both Taylor and Grace asscdence from the stairs.

Taylor dressed in a red stain slik shirt with matching  black dress pants and shoes. Grace wearing a leather skirt with a white slik shirt and a jacket overneath her hair curly and she wore combat heels.

"Oh hell no! Stef what the hell!" Charlotte said to me. "Grace." she hissed as Grace smirked at her. "Dear cousins." seeing Hope as well who glared at Grace, causing Grace to wave at her playfully.

"Guys stop." I told her as Ezra said, "Good I've been waiting for round two with you, since I hear you were back in town." she glared at Taylor who laughed at her, "Awe, in you're dream shortstack."

Mackenzie snapped out her dagger, Saige and Charlotte charing at the two before I stood in their way.

Saige's who eyes were their wolf ones, "Stef move now." as I said, "Guys stop! I called them here."

"You did this! Look Stef I know you were out of it for a while, but calling theses two was the worst idea you could have thought of!" as Mackenzie said, "I'm with Char on this one."

"Thank you." Charlotte said before turning back to me. I sighed expecting their responses.

"Why are they in my house?! Stefanie Miranda Salvatore you need to explain yourself." my mother told me.

"Now." my dad said

"There the bad guys, we can't trust them!" MG said shocked at the reveal, as Landon said, "Yeah Stef gonna have to agree really bad idea."

"Stupid idea!" Lizzie said rising from the couch arm to glare at Taylor who folded her arms her leg out. "Stefanie honey are you ok?" my aunt Bonnie asked me.

I rolled my eyes at all of them. "Stay away from us." Josie said standing in front of me to protect me from Grace and Taylor who just eyed her.

"Would everybody just shut up for five seconds!" as I removed myself from Josie to stand in front of Taylor and Grace.

I was starting to get frusated with them. "Do not even young lady! You brought them into my house-" as I finally snapped and scream "EVERYBODY SHUT UP!"

They all got quiet as Grace said to me, "I'm impressed." folding her legs to herself while sitting on a nearby table.

"Sorry." I said seeing all the adults give me a look. "Stefanie watch you're tone." my mom said as I huffed. "Again sorry."

"Can we start from the top, guys plese?" as everybody put their judgement away before taking in deep breathes.

"Fine, you can explain yourself, guys come on. I'm pretty sure well I really hope Stefanie has a good reason for calling them here." Josie told me folding her arms. "Thank you Jo."

"Alawys." Josie said smiling at me, I blushed to myself slightly. "Ok enough with that." Taylor said shoving me to the side causing me to hit her with a hard glare and her to simply ingore me.

"Let's get it straight, were all rather here today because, well were in trouble, something or someone is coming to Mystic Falls, for a fight."

"Yeah a fight that you brought to is." Ezra said to Taylor as Taylor said, "And here I thought were friends Ezra." as Ezra said, "Not even close." as Grace said, "And this threat is something we've seen first hand, which means we know a lot more than the likes of all of you."

"Ok, that is true, so if you guys have seen the threat, what was it like?" as Taylor said, "First of all it's old, not new of the street, they've been waiting."

"Waiting for what?" Saige asked as Taylor looked at me and said, "You and me Stef."

I rose my eyes at her, "What do they want from me?" as Taylor shurgged her shoulders, "That's something we got to find out." as Mackenize asked, "Ok better quesiton what do they want from you?" as Taylor said, "I don't know."

"Think about it, you just unlocked you're witch side, not even what a good month ago, Stefanie is back now, everyone knows she's alive. Anybody who's wanted to get you too, has a free shot."

"And there gonna come." Hope said leaning herself on the wall arms folded as Charlotte said, "Fast."

"Let them come." me and Taylor said at the same time, shocking us as we looked at each other. "I'll give you one thing, you two are very much a like."

"I am nothing like her, at all." I said as Taylor simply brushed her hair off of her shoulders. "Trust me there is only one me, not even Stefanie out of all people comes close to my level." as I rolled my eyes.

"Can you two stop for fiften seconds, at bickering." as I said, "She started it." as Taylor rolled her eyes.

"So what's our next move?" as Taylor asked, "Are you all willignly to work us? Because let me be clear I will take this threat out, with or without you and god help you if you get in my way."

I rose up from the couch as I looked stood face to face with her. "I don't need you Taylor, you need me and deep down you know that." as she fixed her stance a look on her face when I said that.

"I'm not gonna put my love ones in danger anymore. I'm gonna take care of this threat one way or another, and get it the hell out of my town, and that will happen with or without you and Grace." as I shot my dopplganger a look as she glared.

"So what will it be, are we going to do this together or apart?" as she huffed at me titlting her head.

"If you as so much betray me-" as I said cutting her off, "Same goes for you."

She looked to Grace, then back at me. "Fine. Me and Grace are willngly to work with you and everybody else to get rid of this threat, and once that threat is over with, so is this partnership."

I smirked. "This making you feel good Stef?" as I shurgged my shoulders grinning saying, "I'm Stefanie Salvatore, and I'm gonna get what I want, one way or another."

"Guys?" I asked them as Saige huffed, "I don't like this, but fine." as I nodded to her, Charlotte and Mackenzie nodded in agreement a couple of seconds later and soon so did everyone else.

"So, it's offical. Partners?" as I held my hand up to her. Taylor glanced down at it before she looked back up at me. With that I turned the hand shake into a pinky promise, which immediately made Taylor cringe and give a look of disgust. "What are you six?" as I held my pinky out saying, "Would you rather us pinky promise?"

"I hate you." Taylor said honestly before she hooked our pinky together brifely as I said, "I don't care." with a smirk on my face as Taylor rolled her eyes at me once more.

"Hello?!" he called out as he reached to stand up only to fall back on the ground again seeing his feet was chained up as well.

"Hello! Somebody help!" he yelled out, he listened in close to hear heels clicking he looked out of the bars only for them to open and he saw Kahina standing before him, behind her was two more vampires dressed in similar black clothing to her's.

"Who are you?" he asked her as Kahina said, "My name is Kahina, and for the time being Mr. Fell, were going to be stuck together."

"Where the hell am I?" he asked her as Kahina said, "Somewhere very safe, and somewhere nobody going to find you."

He looked afarid to her before asking, "You're one of them aren't you?"

"A v-v-vampire?" as Kahina titled her head, "Is that all you belive lie in the night? I'm shocked that the others found you to be a problem to handle?"

"The others?" as Mr. Fell said, "Oh Ben Fell. There is so much more in this world than vampires, witches and werewolves." as she bent down to him.

"There are so many more of us who lie in the shadows, listening, and watching as you humans, think were aren't there."

Ben Fell watched as one of the other memebrs brought out a sliver tray and on one of those trays was several knifes and other shrap objects.

Kahina went to pick one of them up before going back towards him, before she bent down to look at him in his eyes.

"I was told to make you go away but before I do that, I'm going to treat myself to some fun." as she held her hand out as he looked to see it had went into a claw like shape, her finger nails growing long and her hand becoming bony, her hand pale skin turned grey and was covered with silvery-grey scales.

Her eyes had went sharp, her iris a ceruelon blue, he took in shaking breathes before Kahina smirked to him showing her fangs shark like before she ran her hand along his face, her sharp claws scrapping his face as he screamed in agony and pain.
