( Long chapter ahead )

Elena and I were staring at our parents items sadly. I felt a hand touch my back but I didn't turn still staring at the ring now admiring it.

" Your parents?" Stefan asked looking down at it also. I nodded.

" There's a lot of history here." I simply stated. I felt his fingers run down my left arm leading to take hold of my hand. We walked down further.

" Wow look it's the original guest registry." Elena said looking to us. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it reassuringly. We walked towards Elena.

" Look at all these familiar names." Elena said making Stefan look a little nervous. " Sheriff William Forbes, Mayor Benjamin LockWood." She let out a light breath. " Is that Damon Salvatore?" Elena looked in disbelief. " And Stefan...Salvatore?"

I looked at Stefan and said the first thing that came to mind.

" The original Salvatore brothers." I said along with Damon who came towards us with Caroline. He smirked and came next to me.

" Our ancestors. Tragic story actually." Damon processed to say.

" You don't need to bore them with stories of the past." Stefan said he said wrapping a protective arm around my waist.

" It's not boring. I would love to hear more about you leaving family." Elena said looking to me. " Wouldn't you?"

" Right yea of course." I said with a fake smile putting my hand on top is Stefan's the was one my waist.

" Well I'm bored. I wanna dance. Damon. Won't dance with me." Caroline said breaking the tension.

" Could I just borrow your date?" She looked to me.

" No." I said a little rude. Stefan pinched my hand. " Ow!" I whispered.

" I don't really dance." Stefan said trying to let her down nicely.

" Sure he does! you should see him. The waltz, jitterbug, the moonwalk. He does it all." Damon said looking at Stefan and glancing at me.

" You wouldn't mind, would you Aliza?" Caroline asked. He's trying to get me and Elena alone.

" Yes I do mind." I told her glaring. " Stefan doesn't want to dance with you I'm not forcing him to." I finished looking towards Damon.

" But would you like to dance Mischief?" I asked with a smirk. He was about to decline but it was too late. I grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the dance floor.

" I didn't say anything about not forcing you to dance." I said bringing my arms around his neck and his hand on my waist. This gives Stefan time to put vervain in Caroline's drink

::

" My therapist says I'm acting out trying to punish Stefan." I heard Damon say as I walked out of the bathroom. I looked into the room next to it to see him talking to Elena.

" For what?" Elena asked.

" Yea Damon for what?" I asked coming to them standing behind Elena, my hands on my hips.

" It's all in the past, I don't even want to bring it up." Damon said faking a sad tone of voice.

" Let's just say that the men in the Salvatore family are cursed with sibling rivalry. It all started with the original Salvatore brothers." He said with a little grin looking at me.

" Do you know where Stefan is?" I asked turning towards Elena.

" Yeah, Caroline ended up dragging him away anyway." She said.

" I'm going to kill her one day." I said out loud causing them both to look at me.

" Sorry I thought I said it in my head." Faking a sorry look. Elena rolled her eyes and Damon just didn't care.

" The Salvatore name was practically royalty in this town. Until the war battle-."

" Of Willow Creek." Elena and I cut Damon off.

" Right." Damon said a little skeptical.

" We know. We talked about it in class. confederate soldiers fired a church with civilians inside." Elena informed. I looked at her proudly.

" You actually listened and remembered." I said making her slap my shoulder. I laughed.

" What history book left out, was that the people that were killed they were in there by accident they were believed to be unit sympathizers. So some of the founders are the confederacy side back then One of them rounded up and burned alive." Damon said walking behind us towards the model of the church presented.

" Stefan and Damon had someone they loved very much in that church." Damon added. My heart sunk a little at the story especially knowing that it was him and Stefan.

" And when they went to rescue them they were...shot. Murdered in cold blood." Damon concluded his mood going down. I looked at him with soft eyes.

" Who was in the church they wanted to save?" Elena asked.

" A woman I guess." Damon said looking at me noticing my soft eyes and looked away avoiding them. " Doesn't It always come down to the love of a women." Damon finished looking into Elena's eyes still glancing at me here and there.

" Look I'm sorry that you and Stefan have the thing between you but we can't get into the middle of it. I really just hope you too can work it out." Elena said walking away. His gaze falling to me.

" She's right you know. I'm already into deep but I'm not going back now. Elena isn't going to be a pawn in your games Damon." I said walking to the door.

" I'm sorry." I pointed out stopping at the door turning around. He looked at me.

" About Katherine. I know that she played the both of you and manipulated you. You deserved better then her. I'm going to help you Damon whether you want it or not." I said looking into his eyes so he can see that i'm thing the truth.

" I thought you gave up." He said looking at me with gentle eyes.

" I don't give up Damon. I said I was done giving you leeway. You need someone and I will be that person. Just like your brother is mine. Plus we have nicknames, we're in it for life." I told him with a smile making him laugh a little.

" Wait I have a question." I said. He gestured for me to continue.

" Why isn't Vicky turned yet? Did you not turn her that night?" I questioned. He shook his head.

" You just assumed but I probably would have." I glared at him. He put his arms up in mock surrender

" Let's go back to our dates." I told him sticking up my middle finger. We walked shoulder and shoulder out the room.

::

" What did we miss?" Damon asked as me and him got to Stefan, Caroline and Elena.

" We were just chatting." He said smiling looking at my sister and Caroline who smiled with him.

" Drink Damon?" Stefan asked offering him a glass of champagne. Damon looked at it.

" No thanks, I'll pass." Damon said bored. He looked back up from the cup. They looked at each other and just stared. I decided to break the tension.

" Stefan." Making him face me. " Do you have another dance in you?" I asked with a smile.

" Absolutely." Stefan replied placing the champagne on a tray. I grabbed his hand and pulled him to the dance floor.

He placed his right hand on my hip and I wrapped my right arm around his neck. My right hand and his left intertwined.

" They look so cute together." Caroline told Damon who was next to her also looking on.

" Don't talk please." Damon said to the blonde. The blonde eyed him and looked back laughing couple. Damon wouldn't admit it but he was jealous. Stefan had found someone beautiful who truly made him happy and smile.

Damon deep down wanted something they had. Aliza made Damon happy to whenever she was there his demeanor changed. He doesn't have feelings for her but he definitely does admire her. She was the first person that never gave up on him. Now for Elena he felt for her. He just couldn't decipher what it was. Hatred. Is what he told him self but he knows it's not.

::

" I hope Damon didn't drive you or Elena crazy." Stefan said spinning me around as I giggled.

" No actually he was in good behavior." I joked as Stefan brought me back in.

" He apologized to Elena and explained why he is the way he is." I said as we swayed to the music looking into his eyes. " It all goes back to Katherine." I added looking down briefly to hide the little sadness I felt in my heart. He spun me again pulling me closer into his chest this time. My left hand on his shoulder.

" Are you ever really going to tell me what happened?" I asked him my face looking a little solemn.

" It's not something I like to talk about." He said with a light smile that I didn't give back.

" I get that Stefan I really do. I just want you to know you don't have to hide from me anymore. I thought by now you would trust me more. I want to get to know you more. You know I hate secrets. " I said bringing my arms to dangle around his neck.

" Is it some thing Damon said? " He accused.

" Damon isn't the answer to every problem Stefan. I know what you are and yet I'm still in the dark. Stefan I know like nothing about you. Besides probably your biggest secret ever. What I'm tryin to say is this relationship right now is so one sided." I told him dropping my hands from his neck and pointing between us.

" Aliza this is Damon trying to get between us." Stefan said.

" No! this is me trying to get to know you but never mind." I said about to walk off but he grabbed my hand.

" Aliza don't go." He pleaded.

" Stefan come back to me when your ready." I told him gently and took my hand away from his.

::

" What is that?" Elena asked Caroline as we were in the bathroom. Elena went to touch something by her neck but Caroline slapped her hand away.

" Don't." Caroline said. But Elena did anyway lifting up her scarf looking at the bite mark. I quickly left going to look for Damon and give him a piece of my mind.

I walked to the back of the house and looked around from the top of the steps to look at for Damon. I spotted him not to far from the steps and ran to him pushing him back harshly making him stumble.

" What the fuck is wrong with you! You piece of shit! How can you even do that to the girl. She doesn't deserve it and you know that!" I shouted in his face pushing him back at each question.

" You need to listen when someone tells you stop! This is your final warning Damon. Stay. Away. From. Her." I finished elbowing him in the gut and leaving.

::

I was by the pond looking at the beautiful sight.

" Elena knows about Caroline." I said as I felt a presence and immediately knew it was Stefan.

" As much as I don't like Caroline she doesn't deserve this Stefan. We need to stop Damon. I thought me approaching him and being nice would help but it didn't. It's time to get physical Stefan." I told the younger Salvatore.

" I know Aliza and I will stop him." I cringed a little at I.

" We Stefan. I'm not leaving you to deal with him on your own." I said to Stefan he just shook his head.

" No Aliza. You can't help." Stefan said.

" I know your trying to protect me but I'm already in to deep and you know I hate when someone tells me no." I told his folding my arms over my chest.

" Aliza trust me Damon is dangerous." Stefan stated.

" Trust is earned." I retaliated. He looked down guilty.

" There are bruises all over Caroline's body, bite marks and he has her all confused and messed up in the head." Elena said jogging over to us. Stefan and I shared a look.

" You don't look surprised." Elena pointed out looking at our neutral faces.

" Um, I'm handling it." Stefan said. His voice shaking.

" And you?" Elena asked looking at me a little sad.

" We have it handled Elena. Just please go home." I begged her with a soft look.

" I can't go home not when Caroline is in danger!" Elena claimed. I spotted Damon walking out with Caroline in his grasp. I turned to Stefan. He noticed too.

" There's things you don't understand, Elena. Go home please. I'll tell you everything later." I told her. I glanced at Stefan and we started walking to where Damon was leaving Elena to her thought's.

::

Me and Stefan walked to Damon as he fell down on his back from drinking the vervain from Caroline's blood.

" I knew I couldn't spike your drink, so I spiked hers." Stefan said in this low voice I thought was hot. Damon was still on the floor, weak and groaning. His eyes slowly closing. When we were sure she was fully knocked out I bent down and grabbed his ring off his hand and handed it to Stefan. I noticed Caroline standing.

" I'll be right back." I quickly told Stefan running to her as I see her hyperventilating and shaking.

" Hey, hey, hey. It's okay Caroline. Im right here." I said concern and gentleness in my voice. I brought her into a hug and she started crying into my shoulder. I see Elena coming towards us. Thank god she didn't listen. I pulled away.

" Elena is going to take you home okay." I said nicely to Caroline. She nodded and I went back to Stefan.

I stood in front of him and placed a hand on his cheek.

" I meant what I said when I said I wanted to get to know you. I really do. Deal with Damon first and come back to me when your ready." I said rubbing my thumb on his cheek. He nodded. I kissed his cheek and walked away.

To anyone confused about the little fight they had i'm going to explain.

After Damon said the story about him and Stefan. Aliza felt like she didn't really know Stefan and it bothered her. So the story Damon said did affect her a bit. But let's be honest she doesn't know much about Stef and we all know there's so much more than him being a vampire. Any other questions? please comment and ask.

This chapter was a crazy one😂!
