( Her outfit and hair for the dance! This a long one!)

Elena and I walked out of the little store going towards my car. All of a sudden Elena's phone started ringing.

" It's a unknown number." She showed me the phone.

" Maybe it's a prank call." I shrugged. She rolled her eyes and answered it. I muttered a little spell so I can hear the call.

" Hello." Elena put the phone to her ear.

" Hello Elena." A mans voice came through the phone.

" Hey who's this?" She asked confused.

" You hit me with your car." We looked at each other. " Is that a new one?" His voice taunting a bit. I looked around and noticed a guy in a black hoodie looking at us. I grabbed the keys from her.

" No time to drive. We've got to go." I took her hand and touched the car. I portaled us to the front of the house. ( The side walk.) The car was parked perfectly. We opened the door and ran into the house.

" I didn't think the car thing would work." I said watching Elena catch her breath.

" Warn me next time you do that please." I nodded.

" Right. Sorry. We'll go to Stefan's in the morning." I told her going up the stairs.

::

" Why me? What does he want with me? an-and if he's trying to kill me, why call first?" Elena looked to Stefan. I was sitting next to her on the couch.

" It's because we're predators Elena. We haunt, we stalk. It's often as exciting as a kill." He walked to another shelf from the book shelves behind us.

" I want you to take this." He gave a watch to Elena. I noticed it was Jeremy's.

" That's Jeremy's pocket watch. How did you get it?" I asked. Stefan now sitting in front of me on a little seat.

" I took it from Damon, who took it from Logan, who must have taken it from Jeremy." Stefan looked at me.

" Jeremy needs to hide things better." I mumbled. Stefan smiled.

" What's wrong with it?" Elena opened the watch and looked at it.

" Well it's not just a watch it's a sort of compass. But it points to vampires." I watched as Stefan took the watch from Elena and pressed the button on the top of the watch. Elena and I looked at the spinner (I don't know what to call it😂) in the middle spun around and pointed at Stefan.

" That's cool." I thought out loud. They looked at me amused.

" What? you can't tell me you weren't thinking the same thing even if you life is in the line." I joked. She flicked my forehead. I glared at her. She rolled her eyes and turned back to Stefan who watched us smiling and chuckling to himself.

" Why did our father have this?" Elena asked.

" Gilbert's we're one of the founding families and back in 1864 they were among those who saw to raticate the vampires. They used the compass to find them." I answered looking up at them both as I finished. Stefan nodded in agreement and Elena looked at me curiously.

" I know this because of him." I pointed to Stefan. Elena nodded in realization.

" Did you know them?" Elena asked referring to her parents.

Stefan nodded. " Yes." He replied, his voice barely above a whisper.

" I want you to keep this. That way you'll know if your ever in danger." Stefan looked to Elena and back to me. I looked at Elena and gave her a " give us a moment look". She nodded grabbed her bag and went towards the door. I looked back to Stefan.

" We'll be okay Stefan." I whispered.

" I know." He smiled and brought his hand to my cheek. I smiled back and kissed him softly and sweetly. We pulled away forehead still touching a smile still on our faces.

" I love you." I whispered.

" I love you more angel." He pecked my lips again. I got up and he followed making sure we got to the car safely. I turned to Elena once we started driving.

" I'm going to see J and bring him home want to come?" I asked.

" I can't I have to get the costume ready." I nodded in understanding.

" Can you take mine out of the closet for me?" She nodded.

::

" Cool so what did he say about the vampires did he believe it?" A girl asked Jeremy as I went towards him.

She's a vampire little warrior. She needs something from you guys. Play it safe.

" Nah I don't even believe it. It's just a stupid paper Anna." Jeremy scoffed and looked at me. I winked at him.

" Ready to go J?" I walked next to him so I can get a look at the girls face.

" Yeah let me just put this back." He pointed towards the pool stick. I nodded and stepped out his way.

" I'm Anna." She smiled but her eyes said a different story. She knew who and what I was.

" Um Aliza, Jeremy's sister." I smiled at the affect I had.

" Ready." Jeremy came from behind me. I jumped a bit.

" You did that on purpose!" I slapped his chest and he laughed.

" If you mean talk then I guess so." He sarcastically responded.

" What ever lets go." I slapped the back of his head. He laughed as we walked.

" Hey um you want to do something later maybe?" Anna asked walking to us again.

" Sorry I'm stuck going to the dance. She's forcing me and I have punch duty." He turned to her as we stopped walking.

" How'd you get stuck with punch duty?" She smiled at him.

" Failing english, I copped a plea." He responded.

" So maybe you know tomorrow or something?" She pushed again. She's getting on my nerves.

" Hey J we're on a time limit here." I said pointing to my fake watch. I can tell he's a bit uncomfortable.

" Yeah right." He looked back to Anna. " I'll see you around." With that we walked out the grill.

::

I was finishing up my braid when Elena ran into my room.

" The thing is moving." She told me frantically. I looked at the watch. I sped to my phone and called Stefan. I knew I can take the vamp down but if it was Stefan I wouldn't want to hurt him. With my phone in hand I ran and started checking all the rooms. Elena following.

" Stefan's phone. How may I help you?" Damon's voice came through.

" Where's Stefan?" I asked running down the steps.

" He's on his way to you. Forgot his phone." Damon answered. I stopped but I still felt a bad vibe in the air.

" The compass was spinning Damon and Stefan isn't here yet." I spoke into the phone. Putting a spell around me so the vamp couldn't hear.

" I'm on my way be careful." He hung up. I looked around keeping a cautious eye on everything around me.

All of sudden a guy jumped down and was about to bite Elena.

" Elena!" Stefan yelled as he came in.

I sped and grabbed the guy by the neck making him gasp. He tried to fight out of my grip but it was to tight. I threw him outside to the porch. He glanced at me but my eyes glowed red and orange. His face turned blank and he sped away. I noticed he was the pizza guy from the other night.

I ran back into the house and went down next to Elena. Stefan had her in a hug. She pulled away and came to me. I wrapped her in a tight hug.

" Hey your okay. Just breath." I heard footsteps coming downstairs.

" What the hell happened?" Jeremy asked speeding walking towards us. He hugged us both catching Elena off guard. I sighed into it.

" Vampire attack." I told him. There was a knock on the door. Stefan went and opened it.

" Is she alright?" That was the first thing Damon asked as Stefan let him in. I pulled away from my siblings.

" He attacked Elena but she's fine. Thank you for coming all this way." I smiled at him. He smiled back and hugged me. We missed the shocked looks Stefan and Elena threw at us. Jeremy wasn't fazed at all. We pulled away and I went and sat at the couch. Stefan on my left and Jeremy on my right. Elena on the solo chair and Damon stood pacing back and forth.

" How did he even get in?" Damon asked looking at us all.

" He was invited in." Elena said still shaken up.

" He posed as a pizza guy the other night." I told him. Stefan laid a comforting hand on my thigh. I laid my hand on top of his.

" Well he gets points for that. Did he say what he wanted?" Damon stopped pacing.

" Yeah Elena. He was just aiming for her." I looked up to Damon. I rubbed my finger in a circle motion on top of Stefan's hand. It was something I did when I was nervous or I felt overwhelmed.

" And you have no idea who this is?" Jeremy asked looking at both Salvatore's.

" No." They said together. Stefan gave Damon a look of disbelief.

" Don't look at me like that. I told you we had company." Damon said to Stefan with a tiny eye roll.

" Do you think there's more than one?" Elena asked looking around at all of us.

Damon raised his eyebrows and looked at Elena. " We don't know."

" I think there is." I thought back to Anna.

" I don't know if they're working together but that girl Anna that Jeremy knows is a vampire and she wants something but I don't know what." I told them.

" It's a possibility." Damon replied. It got quite as we were all trying to thin about what to do.

" Damon. He was invited in." Stefan slowly said to Damon. Damon sat in the arm rest next to Jeremy. He nodded.

" Then we go get him tonight." Everyone looked up to Damon.

" You up for it?" Damon looked to Elena and me.

" What do I have to do?" Elena asked looking at the the elder Salvatore.

" Let me take you to the dance. Well see who shows up." Damon told her. My pointer finger now tracing a star on his hand. Stefan didn't say anything but I knew he knew I did this. So he just let me.

" That's a bad idea." Stefan looked to Damon.

" Till we get him this house isn't safe." Damon stated to his brother. " For anyone who lives in it." He glanced at Jeremy.

" It's worth a shot." Jeremy spoke up looking to Elena.

" I'll do it." Elena breathed out. Damon looked at her softly and nodded.

" I'll be with the three of you. I'll be safe." Elena said confidently. I nodded and Stefan intertwined our hands making me stop the tracing. I looked to Jeremy.

" Bring the dagger just in case." He nodded and went up to get it.

::

We all walked in. My arm locked with Stefan's and Elena's locked with Damon's. Jeremy went to do punch duty already. He had the dagger safely hidden. We looked around and I pointed to a empty table. We walked towards it. The boys went to look around leaving me and Elena by ourselves. Elena kept rubbing her neck which she did when she's nervous.

I notice Bonnie and Caroline approach us. We both immediately but and smile on our face and glance at each other. I gave her a smile nod.

" Having fun?" Elena leaned in the table.

" No but this took at least 2 hours and I'm at least staying half of that." Caroline gestured toward her dress. Elena laughed and I chuckled a bit.

" What's Damon doing here?" Bonnie looked to Damon who was with Stefan. We all turned to look at them. They were in the center. They pretty much could see everything. I turned back to the girls. Elena looked at me to answer.

" He wanted to come. He's Elena's date. I promise he'll behave." I gave them a look.

" So what is this like a foursome now? You two and the Salvatore brothers." Caroline faked smiled at me. I glared at her.

" No but if my sister is dating Stefan and Damon is practically her bestfriend I have to learn to tolerate Damon. It's not like I can kill him." Elena told them both.

" There's a thought."

" Mm I'll help." Bonnie and Caroline clinked their cups together.

" No you won't." I said back to them. I glared a bit. They coward a bit. I walked towards Stefan.

::

" Where did they go?" Elena watched Bonnie and Caroline walked away from Damon. Stefan, Elena and I walked to him.

" I don't know." Damon looked around. I giggled knowing they wanted to be away from him.

" What did you say to them?" Stefan asked his brother.

" I was perfectly polite." He responded.

" Elena, would you like to dance?" I looked to her to see what she would say.

" I would love to." She gave Damon her hand and they walked towards the dance floor. I looked at Stefan shocked.

" That just happened." I pointed to our siblings.

" Yup." He nodded with a smile. I shook them out of my head and looked at Stefan.

" May I have this dance?" I looked at him with a small pout I know he can't say no to.

" You may." He smiled. I linked my arms with his and we walked to the dance floor. He twirled me around and pulled back to him. My arms around his neck and his hands on my waist. We swayed to the song and turned little by little so we can see around.

" See him anywhere?" Stefan asked.

" Not unless he has a pompadour." Stefan laughed at me. I pulled my head back from his shoulder and admired his smile and the way his eyes lit up. He noticed my gaze.

" What?" He asked a smile still on his face.

" You have a really pretty smile." I don't know if it's possible but I swear his cheeks got red. He leaned down and kissed my lips waiting a bit before pulling away.

" Your really pretty." I blushed. He laughed.

" How did you look back then? I'm sure you looked great." I teased as we still spun around little by little. " Are there pictures?" I added.

" No. Burned, buried." His eyes still looking around.

" What was is like in the 50's? In my mind it's all Grease and AmericanBandstand. You know milkshakes, cool cars and varsity jackets." I asked curiously.

" Well that's and, you know McCarthyism, segregation and nuclear arms race." I nodded and smiled.

" Okay but we're there actually poodle skirts?" I jokingly asked.

" There we're poodle skirts." Stefan spun me around and pulled me back in. My arms around his neck again.

" You are so teaching me how to do the hand jive." I smiled big.

" Nope. That's not gonna happen." We swayed side to side again.

" Awww!" I wined jokingly and tighten my grip around his neck. I rested my head on his shoulder as he continued to look for the vampire.

" Maybe he won't show?" I suggested to Stefan lifting my head.

" You mean we did all this dancing for nothing?" He joked looking down at me.

" No because now I know you can do the hand jive which I will force you to teach me." I joked back.

" I'm really sorry for all of this." I rolled my eyes.

" Stefan none of this is your fault. We decided to come and be here. I officially signed up for it and I don't want you saying sorry at all. If you do I will go crazy." I poked Stefan in the chest.

Suddenly the music starts to pick up and we realize we have to dance faster. I smile at him broadly. I grab Stefan's hands and starts to twist my hips as Stefan stays still.

" Show me how it's done in the 50's" My smile not leaving my face.

" Uh no." He stated simply.

" One move." I suggested. Stefan shook his head. I acted like I was mad and was about to walk away when Stefan grabs me by my arm and twirls me back towards him. He picked me up and dips me one side and then the other holding me for a moment.

I smile up at him surprised. Stefan straightens us back up and places me on the floor. He grabs my face in his hands and, kisses me. The kiss filled with intense passion.

" Now you remember that because it's never gonna happen again." His hands still on my face. I giggle and pull him into another kiss. In my pocket my phone buzzes.

Anna just asked for journal. You were right.
- Jeremy

Did you tell her where it was?

Of course not. I told her I gave it to the teacher. - Jeremy

Good now be careful.

I show Stefan the text messages.

" What would she want with it?" He asked confused as we walked to the punch bowl where Jeremy was.

" Maybe it has something to do with the tomb." I shrugged. I watched as Elena left Damon and was now walking behind us.

" Had fun?" I teased my sister. Elena rolled her eyes and hit my shoulder.

" Shut up." She groaned. I laughed.

" Aliza, Stefan back corner." My eyes swept the dance floor and noticed the guy in the black hoodie. I turned to Jeremy.

" Hand me the dagger." He pulled it out and gave it to me. I held it tightly.

" Stay here and don't move." He was about to protest but I gave him a look. He nodded reluctantly.

" Get Damon." Stefan told my sister who was now speeding walking to the older Salvatore.

Stefan and I quickly walked across the dance floor, pushing people out of the way. The guy in the hoodie left through the corridor. Stefan and I followed seeing the boy turn the corner. We sped to the boy. Stefan grabbed him by his hoodie and slammed him into the lockers.

" What did I do." A teenage boy asked. No expression. I looked at Stefan confused.

" Where is he?" I crossed my arms over my shoulder.

" I was getting a soda when a guy gave me his hoodie." The boy shrugged. I looked to Stefan.

" He tricked us into leaving her alone." We ran through the hallways. We met with Damon. It was quite but suddenly I hear a faint scream.

" The cafeteria." We sped there just on time to see Noah about to bite Elena. Stefan sped and threw him off of her.

" Hey dickhead." I called out next to Damon.

" No one wants to kill you. We just want to talk." Damon told the vampire.

The guy just smiled and attempted to go back towards Elena. I slowly started making his insides burn up. He groaned and dropped to his knees. I took my dagger out and stabbed it right near his heart. Damon, Stefan and Elena now next to me.

" Now you feel like talking?" I asked.

" Screw you." Stefan dug the dagger deeper. The guy groans in pain.

" Wrong answer. Why are you doing this?" I stepped closer to him.

" Because it's fun." This time I dig the dagger a little deeper.

" What do you want to Elena?" Damon spoke up.

" She looks like Katherine." We all look at each other shocked.

" You knew Katherine?" Elena asked.

" You guys thought you were the only ones?" The guys gaze went to the boys as he laughs.

" That nasty lying manipulative bitch." I whispered under my breath. They all looked at me.

" Just stating facts." I raised my hands in defense.

" Tell me how to get into the tomb?" Damon
asked.

" No." The guy says plainly. Stefan drives the dagger deeper. The guy gasps.

" The grimoire." He stated.

" Where is it?" Damon questioned. Stefan drove the stake deeper again.

" The journal! Jonathan Gilbert's journal!" The guy groaned out.

" Who else is working with you?" Stefan asked. As they talked I looked around and caught Anna looking in. Bingo. She sped away.

" Who else is there?" Damon asked again.

" It's Anna isn't it?" He looked shocked and his face gave it all away. The boys noticed also.

" No. Your gonna have to kill me." He groaned out. Damon looked to Stefan, rolls his eyes and nods. Stefan takes out the dagger and waits a moment before stabbing him in the heart. I flinch a bit and Elena gasps. The guy desiccates. I pulled the dagger out and cleaned it with my magic.

" What do we...how are you gonna find the others now?" Elena looked at us.

" He had to die." Damon said to her.

" But..." Elena trailed off.

" Elena, he was invited in." I told her. We hear a door open and we see Alaric coming through the door's windows.

" Go I got this." Stefan look to his brother. Damon walks away and I wrap Elena in a hug for a couple of seconds and then Stefan does the same to me.

::

" Doing okay?" Stefan asks from my kitchen making me tea. Elena was upstairs taking a shower. I turn to look at him.

" Yeah. Nothing I can't handle surprisingly." I smiled at him reassuringly. Stefan walked into the living room.

" It feels good fighting back." Stefan sat down next to me and passed me the cup of tea. I put the cup to my lip and take a sip. Stefan turned to me and put a hand on my leg.

" I need to tell you something, and I don't know how your gonna feel about it." I moved the mug back to my look and looked at him concerned.

" What?" I eyed him.

" I told Damon that I'd help him get into the tomb and get Katherine back. It was a lie. I let him believe that he could trust me." My heart sunk a bit. Not because of Katherine coming back but because Damon deserves better and I'm not lying to him. I can't.

" Why lie?" I asked sitting up.

" I can't let him take her out Liza." Stefan sat up with me.

" I can't lie to Damon. He deserves better and I know after everything's he's done he probably doesn't deserve it but he has well had no body. Damon right now is battling his demons little by little. I say let's open the tomb and if she's in there then we kill her. I can sense that Damon is done with Katherine. He just wants his pay back. He doesn't love her and I can see that now. I didn't believe at first but I do now." I finished looking down at my mug.

" What if he's lying?" Stefan asked grabbing my chin and making me look at him.

" I don't know if he is but something is telling me he's not. I have to go with my gut instinct Stefan." He sighed.

" Alright we'll help him." He told me.

" Really?" I asked a small smile on my face.

" Yeah. Come here." He opened his arms and I went into them. He leaned back on the couch. I relax and snuggle into Stefan's arm's.

Wow! Writing this was crazy. I really want to get to season two so after they open the tomb I will be skipping any unnecessary parts. It's also the reason why I'm kinda rushing a bit now. But I hope you enjoyed❤️

- I love the cute moments we had here!
- Aliza hates Anna already😂
- They're going to really help Damon. I know Damon loves her ( Katherine )still but we're switching it up.
