Jeremy, Stefan and I are in the hallway at Jeremy's locker. This morning Damon woke me up with coffee and told me he was leaving. Then Stefan came and picked me and Jer up. Vicky left back to New Orleans. ( Stefan knows about Aliza and Damon having sex. )

" Remember how I told you that bracelet protects you from vampires and their compulsion?" I asked Jeremy.

" Yeah. You said it would buzz if there's a unknown vampire around me." I nodded at him.

" Exactly. Vervain is also toxic to vampires." I linked my arm with Stefan's.

" Like poisonous?" Jeremy question.

" Yeah, it's very poisonous." I nodded.

" But why vervain?" Jeremy asked curiously.

" Don't know, certain natural herbs and roots and other elements are just harmful to vampires." Stefan answered.

" Like a stake to the heart?" I slapped Jeremy's arm.

" Your not trying to kill my soulmate right?" I joked. He let out a laugh.

" No. I'm just curious." Jeremy shrugged.

" I'm just joking J don't worry. But to answer it has to be wood." He nodded.

" Hey guys." Elena arrives standing next to Jeremy. We all nodded at her.

" Hey, did you..." Before she can finish Jeremy and I answered.

" Yeah, yeah, I set up the gold fish toss all three hundred gold fish. It's gonna be epic!." Jeremy and I finished sarcastically.

" We're literally twins." I pointed at him. He rolled his eyes jokingly.

" I really hope that this carnival would reel us back into the land of a high school teenager." Elena sighed.

" That's was what were doing here?" I asked Elena.

" Yes, we all are. We're going to be boring high school students who live in a world where the "v" word is not uttered." Elena leaned on Jeremy.

" Got it." Stefan whispered and nodded. I giggled a bit. He leaned down and kissed me. Elena and Jeremy gagged.

" Let's go before they full on have sex in the hallway." Elena joked and pulled Jeremy away. I laughed.

" That's not something we would do." Stefan looked at me. I gave him a look.

" Actually, it probably is." I laughed and leaned on the lockers and wrapped my arms around his neck.

" Later you and your brother are going to take me to the Ferris wheel, we're gonna ride to the very top and then you guys are gonna kiss me and my heart will flutter like a normal high school girl. Do you see a running theme here?" I teased and tilted my head at him.

" Like this?" He pulled me into another kiss. I smile.

" Just like that but very high up in the sky." I pointed at the ceiling. He chuckled.

" Now lets go see your brother. Shall we?" I pushed off the locker and linked my arm with his.

" We shall." He picked me up and sped out not before making sure no one was around.

::

We arrive to the boarding house and see Damon pouring a blood bag in a glass.

" Care for one?" He asked Stefan knowing he will say no.

" No, thank you. I'm not hungry, just ate." Stefan rolled his eyes at Damon.

" It's true." I walked to Damon and placed a kiss on his cheek.

" Are you worried that one day, all the forest animals are gonna band together and fight back?" Damon teased.

" I mean, surely they talk." I added in. Stefan laughed a bit. I sat down on a chair. My phone buzzed and I took it out.

Uncle Mase is back. He wants to see you soon. - T.L

Wow. Black Sheep returns. - A.G

I laughed and put my phone away. I see both boys looking at me.

" What?" I eyed them.

" You know Tyler's uncle?" Damon asked from next to me.

" Yeah. He use to babysit me and Ty all the time. He was like a big brother to me. Then he left and never came back. Until now." I shrug.

" I think the Lockwoods have a family secret because the Gilbert device affected them but vervain didn't so they're not vampires, they're something else." Damon told us.

" Is that how Tyler crashed?" I feel guilty. I didn't even know about Tyler until after.

" Hey, none of that guilty conscious. You didn't know." Stefan walked to me and grabbed my chin so I can face up and look at him. I nodded. He kissed my forehead and then let go of my chin.

" Is this your new obsession?" Stefan asked Damon pouring himself a bit of bourbon.

" You'd rather some unknown supernatural element running rampant upon our town. Fine, I'll drop it." Damon raised his hands up.

" What of they're werewolves?" I suggested.

" Impossible. I've been living for 100 years and never encountered one." Damon denied.

" It's not impossible. My father has werewolf blood in him." I pointed to him.

" Fine. We'll keep it in the back of our heads." Damon said. I nodded.

" I have to go meet Elena and Bonnie at the school. See you beautiful boy's later?" I looked between them. They nodded. I walked up to them and pecked each of their lips. I moved back gave them a wink and portaled out.

" She gets more gorgeous every time we see her, right?" Damon asked still looking at the spot his girlfriend had left.

" Yup." Stefan answered back.

" We're so whipped." Stefan stated looking at his brother.

" That we are." Damon looked back to his brother.

::

It was now night time. We walked around the carnival making sure everything was running smoothly.

" The ring toss is out of Bart and Homer dolls and Team Jacob T's." I told Elena.

" Okay, I can grab some from the science club. Also we lost a speaker in the karaoke room." Elena stressed.

" Hey, all good Elena, take a beat, look around. This is a huge success." Bonnie motioned around her.

" You mean she can do more than just freak vampire havoc?" I gasped dramatically. She flicked my forehead. Bonnie laughed. Elena looks around and spots a man who is repairing one of the stands.

" Hey, Carter, right? You're with the carnival." He walked to us.

" That'll be me." He puts his screwdriver away.

" Okay, great." Elena looks at her clip board quickly.

" Wow, what do you need beautiful?" Carter looks at Bonnie. I push her a bit closer to him.

" What do you know about karaoke speakers?" Bonnie asked nervously.

" Why don't you show me the problem?" He suggested a bit flirty.

" Yeah Bonnie, show him the problem." I encouraged her.

" Okay, come on." They leave. Elena and I smile.

" I love playing cupid." I looked at Elena.

" Your a great cupid." I kiss her cheek.

" Gonna go find my boys. See you later?" She nodded.

" Take a break Lena. You did all of this. Now it's your time to enjoy it." I whispered and hugged her.

I walked away going to where I know they will be which is most likely where Tyler is. It's a obsession now. I spot them both staring at Tyler arm wrestle.

" You both are lurking." I walked and stand in between them.

" We're observing." Damon spoke not taking his eyes off Tyler.

" No your obsessing." I pointed out. I look back on time to see Tyler win.

" He's got strength." Damon pointed out.

" He's a triple letter varsity athlete, of course he has strength." I told him. I knew deep down my theory would be right. Mason arrives to arm wrestle against Tyler.

" Enter the uncle." Damon and I muttered together.

" That's ridiculous." Stefan said. Mason beats Tyler.

" Okay, he's the champ, who wants to go next?" Tyler announces.

" I do! I'll go." I raised my hand. Before I can walk they stop me.

" No way." Damon shook his head.

" If I do this. I can feel his vibe and confirm my theory. I'm the strongest being alive. I can beat him." I gave them a pout.

" Fine." They gave in. I fist bumped the air and turned walking to Mason.

" Long time no see Mase." I sat down on the chair.

" I've missed you Ali." He smiled genuinely. I can feel the jealousy radiating off the Salvatore boys.

" Ready to get beat?" I teased. He laughed and shook his head.

" We'll see." He responded.

" 20 bucks I win." I bargained.

" Alright. Same here." We shook our hands.

We clasp our hands together. I feel his energy run through me and it quickly confirms my thoughts.

" 3...2...1." Once Tyler finish's he immediately tries to take me down. I groan a bit at the strength. I start lifting his hand and slowly his hand gets closer and closer to the table. He fights hard to bring me back up but he can't. One final push and his arm hits the table. The crowd around us roars. Shock takes over his face.

" 20 dollars please." I smirked and held my hand out. He laughed wiping away the shock. He pulled out his wallet and handed me the 20.

" I should have known better than to doubt you." Mason got up with me.

" You know that better than anyone Mase." He pulled me into a hug which I gave back.

" It's glad to have you back superman." He laughed at the childhood nickname. I walked away from him and back to Damon and Stefan.

" So?" Stefan asked immediately wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

" Come on. Not here." I grabbed Damon's hand and pulled them away into the hallway.

" What are they?" Damon asked. I leaned against the wall with Stefan. Damon's hand still in mine.

" They're ninja turtles or maybe zombies." Stefan joked. I laughed.

" This is reality and there's no such thing as zombies or...combat turtles." Damon didn't laugh at the joke.

" He said ninja turtles. Actually." I pointed to Damon.

" You guys have not comedic timing at all." Damon was still serious.

" I was right Dames, they're werewolves." I told him so that he wouldn't lose it.

" Dammit." He ran a hand through his hair. Suddenly I feel a tingling sensation. It's coming from the boys.

" There's another vampire." Stefan mumbled. We walk down the hallway and they stop and look at Caroline. She turns to face and walk to us.

" Caroline, they let you out?" I asked concerned but she ignored and looked to Damon.

" My memories have been coming back, in pieces. I know what you did." She glared at Damon.

" You can't remember. It's impossible, I mean unless you're becoming a..."

" Vampire." I finish for Damon. Did we not say that?

" I have a message from Katherine, she said "Game on"." She smiles and goes to attack Damon but Stefan steps in front of him and I push her hard and she's thrown backwards and slides on the floor.

" Caroline be careful who you go for." I told
her. She got up and sped away.

" We need to find Elena. She's Caroline's bestfriend. She can help." I grab them by their wrist and run outside.

::

Elena is talking with a girl when we arrive behind her.

" Elena." I panted out trying to catch my breath.

" What? What happened?" She asked. The girl she was with now walking away.

" We can't talk not here. Come on." I look around making sure no one is watching us and portal us to a empty class room.

" It's Caroline. She's a vampire." I told my sister lowly.

" What? How could this happen?" She asked panicked.

" Well, I fed her blood and Katherine obviously killed her and A plus B equals..." Damon answered. I walked to Stefan who is closer to me and intertwined our hands. I start tracing little shapes on the back of his hand. Damon comes and runs a hand up and down my arm slowly. Slowly I start to become more unstressed and overwhelmed.

" But why?" Elena asked running a hand through her hair.

" That manipulative, nasty, little slut is playing games." I replied to her.

" And she said "game on"? I mean, what does that even mean?" Stefan asked confused.

" It means she's playing dirty and she wants us to know." Damon and I put together. I smiled and grab his hand from my arm and kissed the back of it.

" Why Caroline?" Elena question again.

" We don't know, Elena." I snapped a bit. Her questions weren't helping.

" We have to find her." Stefan said to us. We nodded along.

" Yep and kill her." Damon said.

" Your not gonna kill Caroline." Elena sternly told Damon.

" Caroline, of all people, will not make it as a vampire. Her mother is a vampire hunter. Guys come on, we all know how this story's gonna end." Damon says. His grip on my hand tightens a bit.

" No we're not killing her. We can't. Just like we did with Harper we can help her." Stefan and Elena nodded along with me.

" I can help her." Stefan told Damon.

" Okay but if this goes down hill don't blame me." I nodded and pecked his lips.

" Let's go before she kills someone." I grab their hands and portal us all back outside.

We walk around and not even a second after the smell of blood hits me. I look to the boys.

" You smell it to right?" They both nodded.

" What? Smell what?" Elena asked starting to get panicked again.

" Blood." All three of us say. I grab them again and portal is to Caroline which I should have done first. We arrive and see Caroline is crying next to Carter's body. She has blood all over her face.

" He's dead. I killed him. What's wrong with me?" Caroline cries out. But stops and looks at Elena.

" Get away from me! You killed me!" Caroline thought Katherine was Elena.

" No, no, no, no, Caroline, That wasn't me. You know that. That was Katherine." Elena tried to persuade her.

" No! Then why did she look like you?! And why, why did she do this to me?!" I walk warily to Caroline. I sit up next to her on the truck. I pull her into a hug and she doesn't pull away.

" Hey Care, we just want to help you okay. Stefan and Elena are going to help clean you up. We have to get you out of here before anyone can see you." I felt her nod against me. I pull away and hop down. I help her get down.

" Caroline?" Bonnie's voice calls out. I bring Caroline closer to me. Damon went to get a shovel.

" It's okay. Come on." Stefan spoke gently to Caroline. Bonnie sees the blood on Caroline's face.

" No, you're not; you can't be." Bonnie shook her head.

" Bonnie?" Caroline calls out. I nod to Stefan and Elena.

" Come on Care. Let's go clean up." Elena spoke softly and took her away.

" Oh god!" Bonnie puts a hand over her mouth as she sees Cater's dead body.

" l can't believe this is happening." Bonnie whispers. Damon comes back.

" Come on, don't pout about it. I got a body to bury." Damon teased her. Damon is crazy. Bonnie looks at him and gives him a headache. He falls to the ground clutching his head and curls up. I put a block shield around Damon. Bonnie looks up to me.

" Don't test my magic Bonnie. I'm stronger than you." My eyes glow. I'm not trying to scare it. My eyes glow at random times. Honestly. She seems to snap out of her little trance and walks away. I go to Damon and sit him up.

" You alright blue?" He smiled at the nickname.

" I'm fine baby." He kisses my forehead. I stand up and give him a hand.

" I don't want you to be here when I do this." I go to protest but he gives me a look. I nod and kiss him. I move back a bit and portal into
my room. I see Stefan on my bed.

" Can I stay with you guys tonight?" He nodded and brought me into a hug.

::

I was sleeping until I felt my face being pampered with kisses. I wake up to see both Damon and Stefan.

" Hey, what time is it?" I asked with a smile as I rub my eyes.

" It's almost dawn. Come with us." Stefan said. They kiss me one more time and leave the room allowing me to get dressed.

We arrive at the carnival. It's empty. I turn to them.

" What are we doing here?" I asked them curiously.

" Well, we compelled the guard to on break so we could kiss my girlfriend on top of the Ferris wheel." Damon says. The Ferris wheel lights suddenly turn on.

" Guys..." I smile.

" We have to take these moments. We're here to start a life with you. We can't forget to live it." Stefan smiles.

" How are we getting up there?" I asked. Looking at the ferris wheel.

" You have to hold on tight." Damon said and opened his arms. I went into them. He jumped on top of the ferris wheel and we sit down. Stefan comes on my other side. I laugh and look at them admiring me.

" What?" I ask a smile still on my face.

" You have the cutest laugh ever." Stefan and Damon answer together. I blush and turn to Damon pulling him into a kiss and then turn to Stefan doing the same.

" I can tell it's not going to get easier but with you guys by my side I know I can get through anything." I kiss them both again.
