Rachel was cleaning her house. It was the only way for her not to think about what she had done. She was vacuuming when someone rang the doorbell. She unplugged the vacuum-cleaner and walked to the front door. When she opened she came face to face with the person she least expected.
“Hi, Rachel.” Veronica said. “I’m back”
“I wasn’t expecting you” Rachel berkata sheepish. Ronnie conjured a huge smile. “Can I come in?”
Rachel couldn’t come up with an excuse to send her away and thus she stepped away, letting her pass.
Veronica walked to the dapur and noticed the vacuum-cleaner....

“How is he?” Derek asked as soon as Damon and Elena entered the Boarding House.
“I’m right here” Damon said. He walked to the dipan, sofa and sank down. Elena sat down selanjutnya to him and looked at Derek. “Hey, could anda go and get some blood”
“Yeah, sure” Derek nodded and he rushed to the basement.
“You feeling better?” Elena asked concerned, taking Damon’s hand.
“I’m fine” Damon berkata short. “Why were anda in the hospital?”
Elena looked away. Then she looked back. “Who told anda that?”
“Who do anda think?” Damon smirked. “He told me not to come, but I’m a little...

Damon was lying on the autopsy table, bare naked. A man in a white mantel was standing over him, holding a scalpel in his hand.
Jeremy was standing at the reception of the police office, impatiently waiting for the sheriff to tampil up. After a few menit a door went open and Liz came inside. “Jeremy, hi, can I help you?”
“There was an accident tonight” Jeremy quickly started without an introduction. “What happened to the body?”
The coroner placed the scalpel selanjutnya to Damon’s clavicle.
Liz arrayed her paperwork, taking her time to answer. “I don’t see why I should share that kind...

Stefan looked around him. Rebekah had brought him to a party for which they weren’t invited. But she had used her charms to have the owner of the house to invite them in. “What are we doing here?”
“Doing groceries” Rebekah replied. She let her eyes glide over the guests as if she was comparing products.
“I have blood bags” Stefan said. Rebekah gave him a disgusted look. “I’m not eating deep fried food. I prefer it to be fresh. Sure anda agree”
“Blood is blood” Stefan said.
“There” Rebekah pointed at the corner left from Stefan. “He looks yummy”
“Rebekah” Stefan...

Caroline was making homework, yes homework, when someone rang the doorbell. Her mother wasn’t home, so she’d have to get up.
As soon as she opened, she wanted to close the door again, but Ronnie stuck out her foot.
“Five minutes” she said. Caroline sighed and opened the door. “What?” she asked.
“I, eh,…I want to apologize” Ronnie started. “The way I harassed you. I was going too far. I know you’re close with Tyler and I jumped into conclusions. I assumed anda knew where he was”
“And I told anda I didn’t” Caroline replied cold.
“Yeah, I know” Ronnie said. “That’s...

They were sitting on the same terrace Elena had had ice cream with Damon when Derek grabbed a chair from the meja selanjutnya to theirs and invited himself.
“How are anda guys doing?” he asked looking from Stefan to Elena. He’d never seen the blonde girl before and thus he didn’t pay much attention to her.
“Did Damon send you?” Elena asked short.
“What? No!” Derek berkata desperate. He looked around before he continued. “But it’s because of him I’m here. He’s not doing good, Elena. He’s a total wreck”
“He should’ve thought about that before he attacked the poor girl” Rebekah...

Rebekah and Stefan were walking hand in hand in the shopping jalan, street when Rebekah squeezed Stefan’s hand and nodded in front of her.
“Isn’t that your friend?” she asked. She nodded at Elena who was walking their way, though she didn’t seem to notice them. They accelerated their steps until they reached her.
“Hi, Elena” Stefan said.
Elena startled and put out her earphones. “Stefan, geez, you’re going to get me a jantung attack someday”
“Sorry, didn’t mean to scare you” Stefan apologized with raised hands. “Rebekah saw anda walking”
Elena looked at the girl who smiled at...

Five days later.
Derek was rushing through the kitchen, setting the breakfast meja when slow footsteps were heard on the stairs. Derek raced to the stairs and tried to help Damon keep his balance. Damon tried to push him away, but was too weak.
“I made breakfast” Derek said.
“Gee, thanks” Damon mumbled sarcastic. He shuffled to the dapur and fell down on a chair. He looked down at the meja and picked up the blood bag. “This is breakfast?” he asked Derek.
“You have to drink it, Damon” Derek insisted. “It’s been five days. anda will die if anda don’t”
Damon shrugged. “Then...

“Goodnight!” Derek berkata as he entered his new bedroom.
Damon and Elena were standing with their backs to each other, getting undressed. Elena slowly rotated her head and peaked over her shoulder. Damon had taken of his kemeja and Elena swallowed. She’d never get used to that body. She shook her head and looked eyes front again. As she took out her puncak, atas Damon slowly looked over his shoulder. She had laid her hair over her shoulder and he noticed she was wearing a dark purple bra. Damon imagined how he walked to her. He slowly went with his hand over her back and opened her bra. His fingers...

Caroline looked around in Bonnie’s room. “It’s all so…white” she berkata turning to Bonnie, who was sitting on the bed. “I can’t believe anda signed up for this. And without telling me”
“I’m telling anda now” Bonnie said, while she opened her suitcase. “Thanks for bringing my stuff. I wouldn’t know who else to bother” she added softly.
“It’s no bother” Caroline said, though she avoided to look at her. She walked to the window. “Wow! anda have to see this view, it’s amazing” she said, looking at the garden.
“Yeah, I’ve seen it” Bonnie berkata a little absent-minded....

“Why exactly are we doing this?” Stefan asked Rebekah. They were standing in front of the Boarding House.
“Because I’m going to be part of your life now and I want to know everyone that’s important to you. Your brother is important to you, isn’t he?”
Stefan sighed. “Yes, he’s very important”
“Well, then get inside” Rebekah berkata and she opened the door, entering the house. “Hello?” An instant later a strong hand grabbed her throat and forced her against a wall.
“Who are you?” Damon asked threatening.
“Well, I guess anda must be Damon” Rebekah berkata soft.
“Damon,...

Elena was standing in front of Damon’s porch. She felt how her jantung beat painful in her chest. She took a deep breath and knocked. Several times, but the door stayed shut.
“Okay, anda know what, Damon? If anda want to keep akting like a brat, fine! I’m going!” she yelled angry and she turned around.
The door opened and Damon walked out. “What do anda want?”
Elena turned around again and walked back. She took his hands and looked him sharp in the eyes. “It wasn’t a moment of compassion” she began. “When anda were dying and I kissed anda I didn’t do it out of compassion. I don’t...

It was the selanjutnya morning. Bonnie slowly opened her eyes. She saw a silhouette sitting selanjutnya to her bed, but her view was too blurry to see who it was.
After a menit atau three the room became sharper and Bonnie could see who the visitor was. She looked Caroline afraid in the eyes.
“Hi” Caroline berkata soft.
“Hi” Bonnie berkata hoarse and shy. “How long have I been here?”
“About 24 hours” Caroline answered. Bonnie nodded. “How, eh, how’s Elena doing?...And Damon?” she asked careful.
“They’re okay, considering what happened” Caroline said. “They’re dealing with it”
Bonnie...

Once again Elena pulled Damon’s arm over her shoulder.
“I can walk myself now” Damon said, but Elena ignored him.
“You’re not strong enough yet” Elena said.
“Geez, Elena, just admit anda can’t resist touching me” Damon joked. Elena’s cheeks turned red, but she recovered quickly.
“Good to know anda can make jokes again” she said. They walked further.
“Can I ask anda something?” Damon said. “How did anda find me?”
“I had a dream” Elena began to explain. “In which your voice guided me to you…In my dream anda died”
She paused to breath. Then she carried on. “Anyways,...

Alaric looked at his cell mate, who looked like he wanted to snap Ric like a twig, when he heard Damon talking to the police officer that had arrested him. They walked behind the corner in the direction of the cell. Halfway Damon stopped and stared in the police officers eyes. The man walked away and Damon walked to Alaric’s cell.
“Okay, stop laughing” Alaric said, seeing how the corners of Damon’s mouth started to tremble. “Seriously, stop laughing. It’s not funny”
Damon couched. “You’re right. It’s not”
“I take it everything’s okay with Elena?” Alaric tried to change...

Bonnie and Damon were walking down the path leading to the front door of the Salvatore Boarding House. Bonnie ironed her kemeja with her hands. “Listen, Damon, it took me a lot of work to make everyone satisfied with the situation. It wouldn’t do much good if anda start spouting out the wrong things, anda know what I mean? And Katherine doesn’t like me that much” she said. Damon looked at the sky. “Now, why would that be?” he berkata sarcastic. Bonnie knocked and five detik later the door was opened oleh Katherine. She flew in Damon’s arms. Bonnie pursed her lips and tapped her arm....

A few hours later.
Jeremy lied in his bed, his eyes squeezed. He would force himself to sleep. He had been running for hours, helped Alaric with some chores, cleaned up his room, and now he was really tired. Sleeping shouldn’t be a problem. He would give in to the night.
The windows swung open, the glass shattered and rained down on the floor. Jeremy raised up and crawled backwards against the head of his bed. He saw a pencil floating in the air, but knew either Vicky atau Anna was holding it. “What, you’re going to write ‘Don’t sleep’ on my wall? I have to sleep, I can’t fight...

Liz was standing in her office, her deputy’s surrounding her. She was briefing them about the murder last night. Caroline was standing outside, making sure her mother couldn’t see her, and kept her ears wide open.
“The boy’s name’s Derek Janders. He was Amber Lindy’s boyfriend. Amber’s the girl that lived there. According to Mrs. Lindy Amber had been akting off earlier that day. She came home, wrecked, like she was sexually assaulted. Mrs. Lindy insisted Amber to laporan this, but Amber became aggressive and violent.

Sheriff Forbes was standing above the corps lying in the shag. A rope was lying loosely around its cervix and he had two small holes in his neck. He was drained from blood. Liz let out a deep sigh and startled as her daughter appeared in front of her. “Caroline! You’re not supposed to be here, this is a crime scene” she berkata reproachful. Caroline didn’t react, but ducked to have a closer look at the corpse. “Vampires” she whispered. Liz nodded. “Yeah, I know” she said. “Caroline?” No answer. “Caroline” Liz now berkata a bit harder. Caroline looked up. “Caroline, I need...
