"Your taking Damon? To the founders party?! What about me?" Bonnie asks, offended as we proceed into the grill. Its been a few days since Tanners death. They covered it up and said it was a cougar.

I sip on my coffee to stay awake. I haven't been sleeping well,  like at all.  Every time I close my eyes I see Damon, his mouth covered with blood. It's also started up my nightmares. Like I said, I don't really remembermuch about that night.

What I do remember being carried away by the Sheriff,  I remember them rolling away my moms body, and I can sort of remember what she looked like. I shake the horrible memory away.

Caroline snaps her fingers in my face. "Earth to Ariel" I quickly snap out of my trance and put my coffee down. "Yeah" "Are you okay?" Bonnie asked looking concerned. I nod, "I'm fine" I said, trying to believe that myself.

Caroline waves a wand to put the conversation back on track. "Anyway, Like I was saying, Ariel you can go with Bonnie" I nod and look at my blond best friend.

"Why not? Anyway what about your mom, is she okay with you bringing Damon?" I ask, silently begging for Liz to be against it. "And I'm supposed to care why?" "He's older, sexy, danger guy" Bonnie responds.

Caroline mimics what she said. "What is that an official witch twitter tweet?" Caroline jokes. "No more witch jokes okay? That whole mr.tanner prediction has me freaked" I shudder in my seat. Tanner was killed by Damon, he somehow was able to cover his tracks.

"And Damon's not dangerous. You know, he just has a lot of issues with his brother. You know like major deep-rooted drama." I cough into my palm. Yeah no kidding. "Like?" I coax. She looks away.

"I'm not really supposed to say anything" I laugh, "Caroline Forbes, when have you ever kept a secret in your life?" Caroline straightens up and smiles. "Okay. But you can't tell Elena " She says to the both of us. "No" We promise, I so am.

"So you are taking her to the founders ball?" I ask Stefan as we walk to the boarding house

"So you are taking her to the founders ball?" I ask Stefan as we walk to the boarding house. He nods, "Yeah I am" He says with a smile.

I grin and decide to tease him. "Wow. Only a week in (I think I have no idea) and he's already landed the girl" I tease and elbow him in the rib cage. He laughs. He opens the door and we head inside. I freeze at the scene in front of me. Damon has Zach by the neck, squeezing hard.

"Zach!" I yell. Damon turns and drops Zach. "Having a family moment Mermaid, Stefan" He adds when he sees Stefan behind me. "Spending some quality time" He says as we approach. He pats Zach before he walks off. When he does I help him up. "Are you okay?" Stefan asks, worried for the man.

"No I am not, and neither are you!" He yells at Stefan taking me in surprise. He points an accusing finger at Stefan. "How many more people have to die, before you see that?" He asks, panting. "I see it, alright, Zach, I see-" Zach cuts him off.
