After an entire day being dragged around by Damon as he investigated Alaric's new boo thang he eventually sent me back to my house which meant he either got annoyed by my presence or he had to go save Stefan's ass (And his own for that matter).

Which I'm guessing was the latter option. (Wouldn't wanna bruise my ego.)

I did slightly feel out of the loop, but after the night I had I was kinda thankful for it. Me a couple days ago would've insisted on staying with Damon.

Every-time my mind would wander off (which was a lot) I found myself thinking of Klaus. I always felt excitement, like getting to the top of a rollercoaster and the feeling when you're about to fall.

He made something inside of me hope he was nothing like his reputation, or that he was redeemable despite the evidence I've witnessed that refutes any of those ideas.

Despite that I still felt this weird attraction to him.

Maybe it was the cold attitude he had towards everyone, or the whole bad guy thing he had going on. I think the danger almost made me more entranced. Which was pretty bad.

A murderer who has literally terrorized everyone you know shouldn't give you butterflies.

I guess every girl has that bad boy phase. I mean look at my sister.

Maybe I shouldn't feel so guilty for being attracted to it after all. It's just hormones how can I control it amirite?

Okay maybe I am not right.

But also I don't know any other teen girl attracted to a 1000 year old hybrid who murders in his spare time.

I snap out of my thoughts after hearing my phone start ringing. I answer the unknown number and continue stirring the noodles I had cooking in my pot.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Love."

I find my stomach jump with excitement as I recognize the voice almost immediately.

"Hi Klaus, what can I do for you this fine evening?" I ask cooly, holding the phone between my shoulder and ear as I turn off the stove.

"Well whilst I'm waiting for Damon to arrive, I decided I should call and apologize for my bad manners last night. I would've come to see you myself but I-"

"Currently trying to collect dead family members, yeah I got the memo trust me. About last night..." I trail off, trying to come up with words to express my confusion.

"What was that?" I find myself speaking quietly, as if someone were around to hear.

"I thought I made that quite clear, sweetheart." He says as I step away from the stove to take a seat on one of the stools in the kitchen.

"Is this apart of some plan to murder me or something. Are you gonna get back at Elena or Stefan or something by killing me? I just don't understand why you're acting so nice." I trail off as Klaus only hums with a small chuckle.

"Maybe there is no ulterior motive, maybe I just fancy you, but this is a matter we can discuss at another time. I'll see you soon, Love." He says nonchalantly.

"Hey! I'm not done-" The line then goes dead.

I set my phone down with a sigh. I truly didn't understand the way he acted and why it was towards me.

It was so out of character and confusing.

I guess I won't have an answer to my questions any time soon.

"So now you're a murder suspect, why am I not surprised?" I ask, receiving a warning glare from Elena.

After the phone call last night and hearing about Elena's day I happily took my ass to bed. Klaus had his whole family back other than the super secret locked casket which was Damon and Stefan's current and only leverage.

Now all the sudden some dudes murder weapon was found with Elena's finger prints on it.

"It's gotta be Ric's dirty little doctor. Ask if she had access to the stash." Damon's voice omits from the phone making Alaric roll his eyes in annoyance.

"You're on speaker phone, dick." He spits in annoyance.

"I mean I'm just saying what we're all thinking. Don't be so defensive." He jokes as I speak.

"I refuse to believe your luck with women is that bad. Maybe it was Stefan?" I suggest making Elena nod in agreement.

"He was pretty crazy that night. He's capable of it." She says.

"Tell me about it." I mumble, thinking back to Stefan's murder plan. He's lucky I'm so easily forgiving due to his midlife crisis where he suddenly decided to be a psycho.

"Ahh, make's me nostalgic for the time when Stefan was a bunny snacking pacifist, anyway got to go, you'll know more later." He says casually as I raise a brow.

"Hey, where are you?" I ask just before he hangs up.

"Tea with an old friend." He states simply before hanging up.

"Definitely not sus."

"Scarlett, what a coincidence!" Damon speaks, after opening the door to the boarding house.

I cross my arms.

"You literally called me and told me to come over." I say with a brow raised. He simply shrugs before pulling me into the house and closing the door behind me.

After hours of being stuck at home I got a random ass call from Damon who literally told me to haul ass to the boarding house. Although I was sus I showed up anyways. What else was I gonna do? Homework?

Definitely not, sorry Alaric.

"You, me and Mr. Grumpy pants are going on a little field trip." He smiles as I furrow my brows.

"Field trip?"

"Yeah. And you can't wear that." He says, pointing down to my shirt and ripped jeans before looking to the dress I held in my arms.

"You brought it?" He asks, attempting to grab it from my arms. I slap his hand away.

"Just like you asked. Now where are we going?"

"Having dinner. Your presence was requested." He says nonchalantly. I open my mouth to ask another question but I'm cut off immediately.

"change, pronto." He says before motioning towards a bathroom.

I comply, only giving him a suspicious glance. Lets hope this isn't another threaten to kill Scarlett scheme.

I go change into a casual red dress, it was one Caroline had given me for my birthday. I tied my long hair up into a ponytail and pulled down a few face framing pieces before stepping out of the bathroom.

"Couldn't have packed like heels or something?" Damon critiques, staring down at my white air forces. I roll my eyes.

"These will just have to do. Now who the hell are we having dinner with?"

A/N

Sorry another filler! I updated again because I had a quick question! Do you guys want Scarlett to be turned eventually? If so, would you rather her turn sooner or later?
(I'm asking bc I have like four different possibilities I'm considering, and this will help me choose based on what you guys would like better! Thank you!)
