Chapter 10

So many things are going wrong. First, Rose, the vampire who kidnapped Elena, was bitten by Jules, a werewolf who knew Mason. So Rose died and Damon is pretending he's not upset. Damon also went after Jules, and she is not happy about that. And that vampire that Damon killed when Elena was kidnapped, not so dead after all. And he was an Original, whatever the hell that meant. I was at the Grill and I had just finished work. I was with Caroline, and we were talking before she went to talk to Matt. She walked back towards me with a smile.

"So?" I asked anxious about what happened between them.

"We're gonna talk after he gets done work." She said with a nod.

"But, that won't be for another couple of hours. So let's go to my house for now." She said. I nodded. I grabbed my bag, and we walked out the front door.

"We should do this more often." I said with a smile.

"Yes! We should!" Caroline said giving me a smile.

We walked towards her car. I was headed towards the passenger seat when I saw a woman standing behind Caroline.

"Care ..." I said motioning behind her.

"Excuse me. Caroline right?" The woman asked.

"Yeah." Caroline said. "I'm looking for Tyler. You haven't seen him, have you?" She asked.

"No, not since earlier. Sorry." She turned to me and opened the car door. She motioned for me to get in. I was about to get in when I felt someone pull me away from the car.

"Let go of me!" I yelled trying to get out of their grip.

"I know you're lying." The woman said. She looked towards me and nodded. That was the last thing I saw before I went unconscious.

"You're trapped." A man said from in front of me. He was sitting down holding a gun with wooden bullets in it along with a small water gun.

"Why?" I asked scooting back against the wall.

"Because my girlfriend wants Tyler Lockwood." He said which was confusing me.

"What does that have to do with us?" "You know you ask a lot of questions." He said annoyed.

"Well you did kidnap me and my friend against our will for no good reason." I said crossing my arms. Suddenly, the woman from earlier walked in with what looked like Caroline's phone.

"He needs proof." She said. The man picked up the gun and shot me in the leg. I screamed out in pain.

"Myra!" Caroline yelled from the cage next to me. Tears slipped from my eyes as I tried to hold back the pain. I heard the gun go off again, this time it was Caroline.

"No! Please stop!" I said as I sobbed.

"I hurt her again, and she's dead. I mean, she's only human. How long do you think it'll take until she bleeds to death? I'd say twenty minutes. That's how long you have to bring Tyler to me, the clearing by Wickery Falls or Myra and Caroline die. " The woman said hanging up.

I don't know how long it's been. It feels likes it's been hours. Caroline and I were still in the cages. I was bleeding, a lot. And it wouldn't stop. I felt myself starting to drift.

"No, Myra. Stay with me. Please..Myra ..." I heard Caroline say. I tried to keep my eyes open.

"I'm.trying." I said weakly.

"So, How many vampires are there in this town anyway?" Neither of us answer. He shot Caroline with a squirt gun filled with vervain.

She screamed.

"No?"

"Why are you doing this to us ?! Why are you doing this? Why?" Caroline yelled.

"You're a vampire. Why not?" I heard another gun go off and screams.

"I'm sorry, what was that?"

"Let me out! Let us out!" I heard Caroline say as she kicked against the bars of the cage.

"Excuse me? What was that?" He asked again.

"Let us out!" She yelled as she continued to kick and scream. I heard the door to the trailer close.

"Care.Caroline..I don't think I can stay awake much longer." I said as my eyes opened and closed.

"No you have too. You can't ... No. Come on Myra. Stay awake!" She said.

Moments later, the trailer opened. I saw Tyler standing there.

"Tyler, there's a latch on the door. I can't get to it." I heard Caroline say.

"Tyler?" I heard no response from him.

"Tyler, please! Tyler?" Caroline asked in tears. He sighed and walked over to the cage and opened it for her. She got out and opened my door. Tyler helped me out of the cage, Caroline tried to help me stand up. But, I quickly fell to the floor and screamed in pain because of my leg. The trailer door opened, and the woman, who I learned to be Jules, grabbed me. She dragged me out of the trailer and held a gun to my head. Tears came out of my eyes as I looked up to see Stefan looking at me as he laid on the ground in pain.

"Help me." I said weakly. I saw the man that was torturing us and he was about to kill Damon.

"NO!" I yelled as I felt a huge flow of power go through my body. I used everything I had and pushed the man away from Damon. But the next thing I know, all of the werewolves around us were screaming in pain, even Jules, whose grip on me loosened. I felt someone grab me. I quickly tried to get away.

"Hey. It's me." I looked behind me and it was Caroline. I sighed as she helped me up. She put her arm around my waist to try and help me stand up.

"What's happening?" I asked confused.

"What the hell is going on?" Tyler asked. A man started walking towards us. He was walking with his hands held out while casting a spell on the werewolves. Damon and Stefan got up off the ground.

"Elijah made a promise to Elena. I'm here to see it's upheld. You need to go. Get out of here. Now." The man said. Stefan walked over to me.

"Come on. Let's get you to a hospital." I nodded. He picked me up and held my back and underneath my knees as he carried me bridal style. I put my arms around his neck so I wouldn't fall.

"I'm so sorry."

"It's not your fault." I said weakly. I closed my eyes and buried my head into his neck.

"No, Myra. I need you to keep your eyes open." He told me.

"I can't ... I just wanna--"

"No! Ok. Hold on." He said as he vamp-sped us to the hospital.

"Can I get a doctor? She needs a doctor!"

"What happened?" I heard a woman say.

"She was um.doing some home repair and she got a big piece of wood lodged in her leg. I don't know how. She was like this when I got home." He lied.

"Ok. Let's get her prepped to remove the wood." The woman said. I felt myself laid down on a stretcher. I felt someone grab my hand. I opened my eyes and saw Stefan looking at me.

"You're gonna be ok." Was the last thing I heard before I slipped into unconsciousness.

When I woke up, the doctors told me everything was fine. I was allowed to go home. I talked to my dad and told him I was fine because Stefan gave me some of his blood to heal me, and I told him Stefan was going to take me home. He finally said fine and went back to being with Jenna. I was currently in Stefan's car, leaning my head against the window. It was silent. Once I thought he was going to say something, but he just sighed. When I saw my house, he passed it. I looked at him confused.

"You passed my house."

"I know." He said looking at me. Suddenly, we pulled up into Caroline's house. He parked the car and got out. He walked to my side of the car and helped me out.

"What are you up to?" I asked confused. We walked up to the door and Stefan knocked on it.

"I was a bit worried about you, after everything you went through tonight." He told me.

"I'm fine." I told him.

"Good. But just in case, I thought you could used a little backup." I saw through the door Bonnie, Elena, and Caroline walking towards the door. I smiled as Bonnie opened the door.

"You're okay." Bonnie said to me. She brought me in for a hug. Elena and Caroline joined in the hug, and I let it all out. The tears came streaming out. We pulled away from the hug. I wiped my tears and smiled. I turned to Stefan and mouthed "Thank you." He mouthed

"Your welcome" back to me before leaving.

"We're gonna slumber it." Elena said with a smile. I laughed and smiled before bringing them into another hug.

"I love you guys." I said barely being able to contain my happiness.

After I woke up for the slumber party the next morning, I had to get to work since I've been taking "sick days" for a while. Yesterday, was the first day I went back. I caught up with Matt, and we mainly talked about Caroline. It was really boring, but whatever. After work, I decided to give myself a break from the supernatural, since this was the anniversary of one of the worst day's of my life. I stayed at home and worked on some homework. I did a lot of re-organizing in my room. I hung up some pictures of me and my new friends. As time passed, it was around four in the afternoon. I went to the kitchen and got an apple and went back to my room. When I got there, I saw a picture on the floor. I picked it up and saw a picture of me and Liam, my ex-boyfriend. I looked at it and sat on my bed. Tears started to flow from my eyes as I remembered that night that haunts me everyday. A year ago I was walking home from school with Liam, as he held my hand.

"So, it's Friday, your dad's working. Your house will be empty. Wanna hang there?" Liam asked me.

"You know it." I said grabbing the collar of his shirt with my free hand and bringing his lips to mine. I smiled into the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck. After a few moments, he pulled away and smiled. I grabbed his hand as we continued to walk. When we were almost at my house, I saw a man lying in the middle of the road. I looked at Liam before we both ran up to him.

"Excuse me sir, are you alright?"

"Are you Liam Allen?" The man asked. I looked at Liam confused.

"Yes. Do I know you?" Liam asked.

"No. You don't." The man said before he stood up and flashed towards Liam, biting into his neck. It all happened so fast that I couldn't do anything. The next thing I know, the man flashed away leaving Liam on the ground bleeding.

"LIAM!" I yelled. I kneeled next to him and put pressure on his wound. "Oh my gosh." I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and called 9-1-1.

"9-1-1 what's your emergency?" I heard a man ask.

"My boyfriend ... he's been attacked. H-he's l-loosing a lot of b-blood. I don't..I don't know what to do ..." I said as I cried, barely able to control my breathing.

"Ma'am, where are you? We will send an ambulance to your location." The man said.

"We're on 9th and Oakland." I said looking at the street names.

"Help is on the way." The man said. I hung up the phone and looked at Liam, who's eyes were starting to close.

"No, Liam.S-stay with me. P-please." I begged.

"Myra, just know I love you." He said weakly. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it tight.

"I love you too. So much." I leaned down and kissed him like it was the last time. And it was. It was the last time we kissed. Because Liam died seconds later, in my arms. Present Day I looked away from the picture. Today was the day that Liam died. It was today one year ago. I wiped my tears, grabbed my bag and keys and walked out the door. I texted my dad and told him I was going to Liam's grave, in North Carolina. He told me to be careful and that he loved me. After driving, for about half an hour, my phone started to ring. I looked at it and saw Elena's name. I answered it.

"Hey." I said.

"Hi. Did I just see you car pass my parent's lake house?" She asked confused.

"Where are you?" I asked.

"Dunham Lake." She said.

"Yeah. I just passed you." I told her.

"Where are you going?" She asked me.

"To North Carolina. I.uh.have a grave to visit. I'll be back by tomorrow." I told her.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't-"

"No, it's fine. Just enjoy your time with Stefan. I'll see you when you get back." I said hanging up.

3rd POV

"So was it her?" Stefan asked Elena after she hung up.

"Yeah. She's going to North Carolina to visit a grave." Elena told him.

"All the loss she's gone through, everything she's going through now and she still puts on a face that looks like nothings wrong, she's officially one of the strongest people I know."

"Yeah. She is." Stefan said. He smiled before taking out his phone. He texted Myra and asked her if she could call him on her way back from North Carolina and how he found out from Elena. She responded with a "sure." He sighed before putting his phone back and turning his attention to his girlfriend.

Myra's POV

Once I arrived at the cemetery, I walked through all the graves until I found Liam's. Looking at it made me tear up. It looked the same as the last time I saw it, except the flowers I left the last time I was here were gone.

"Hey." I said letting out a log breath.

"I, uh..I don't exactly know what to say. I'll start with how I'm doing. I'm doing as okay I can be. A lot is going on. My new friends are a witch, a vampire, and a doppelganger. The guy I like is a vampire, along with his semi- psychopathic older brother. Oh and you heard me right, I have finally developed a crush on someone, and of course I can't even be with him because he's in love with the doppelganger. Oh, this feels so weird saying out loud. I feel like you're the only person I can talk to about these things because you won't judge me. But you can't control who you have feelings for. I wish I didn't like him, but I do makes it so much harder not to like him when he's always there for me and being so nice to me and saving me from all the supernatural drama. "I paused before continuing.

" Ok. I didn't come here to rant about Stefan. I came here to tell you that I miss you, a lot. And I wish you were here with me. And that I think I'm finally moving on from your death. Trust me, it'll always be in my mind 'cause you were one of the greatest things in my life, but I think that I'm finally at peace with it. And it's because I love you that I don't want to remember you as my boyfriend that died, but as a guy that cared me and was there for me and.and loved me. So I'm moving on. But I'll always remember you. "I said kissing my hand and touching the top of the tombstone.

" I love you Liam, and I always will. "I said with a small smile. I stood up and grabbed my phone out of my pocket. I started walking to my car as I called Stefan.

"Hey." He said after the third ring.

"Hi. I know it's late- "

" No, no it's fine. Elena just fell asleep, and I was bored out of my mind so ... "I smiled.

" Okay. So how is it? Staying in a cabin by the lake with the girl of your dreams? "I asked with a laugh.

" Well, we were attacked by Tyler and one of the werewolves, Brady, and Elijah was planning on killing Elena for the sacrifice and she knew , so it 'going great.

"I put my hand over my mouth.

" Oh my gosh..Are you guys okay? "I asked him." And what's wrong with her? She can't die. "

" Yeah, we're fine. And I know! I tried telling her that, but she's so hellbent on protecting her friends. "He paused before continuing.

" But, how are you? Elena told me that you were visiting a grave. How are you holding up? "He asked.

" Honestly, I think I'm gonna be okay. I'm finally at peace with his death. "I told him.

" His? "Stefan asked, and I smacked my forehead.

" Sorry. I forgot you didn't know. So a year ago today, a vampire killed my boyfriend Liam. We we're walking home from school one day and there was a man lying in the middle of the street. We walked towards the man, and he asked if Liam was Liam Allen. Liam said yes and the man sucked Liam's blood and left. I called the police, but it was too late. Liam bled out. "I paused.

" It's been a really rough year, but I try not to let people see all the hurt. The only person who knows my pain is actually you, Stefan. Well, you and my dad. You should feel pretty lucky. "I said with a laugh.

" How can you laugh right now? "I immediately stopped laughing.

" I mean, this is the anniversary of your boyfriend's death. I can't believe you're not crying right now. "

" You think I don't want to? "I asked him." I wish I could cry every day and let out all the pain, but I can't I have to be strong, for my dad, for my friends, who are going through terrible times of their own. I can't be selfish and not be strong when they need me. "

" It's not being selfish. You're aloud to cry. You're entitled to that as a person. You don't need to pretend. "He told me.

" Yes I do. "I told him.

" No you don't! You're one of the strongest people I know, but even strong people need to cry sometimes. "He told me.

" I know what it's like to feel hopeless. And vulnerable. I will not be vulnerable Stefan. Not with anyone. "I sighed and paused. Neither of us said anything until he broke the silence.

" You know, I'm really lucky to have you as a friend, but I want the real Myra. And if it means I have to cry with her to show her being vulnerable isn't bad when your with people that care about you, then I will.

"I was shocked at what he just said.

" Wait, let me get this straight , Mr. Hero Hair Salvatore would cry just to have the real Myra? "I asked with a smirk.

" I can practically feel you smirking from here. "He said with a laugh. I joined him until he spoke again.

" But yeah, I would . "My whole body felt warm inside. And I can't have this feeling. It's wrong. Elena's my friend.

"Well thanks. But I should probably get on the road. Got a lot of driving ahead of me." I said with a laugh.

"Okay. I'll see you when I see you." He said.

"Till next time ... Bye Stefan." I said with a sigh.

"Bye, Myra." He said before I hung up. I pushed my hands through my hair and sighed. I got in my car and started to drive.

***Time skip**

"So you know the plan?"

"Yes, Damon. You've told me the plan at least thirty times." I said while walking into the Salvatore Boarding House for this dinner part Damon was throwing.

"I'm just making sure." I looked at him confused.

"You're being really careful about this. It's so unlike you." I said with a smirk.

"Well I'm the hero now. Remind me to ask Stefan where he gets his hair done." Damon said with a smirk. I laughed at his remark. As I closed the door, We heard a knock. I mouthed to Damon "It's him." Damon nodded and went to open the door.

"Good evening." Elijah said.

"Thank you for coming. Please, come in." Damon said.

"I'll be over there." I said pointing towards Jenna.

I walked over to her and she smiled.

"Myra!" She said giving me a hug.

"Why does it feel like it's been forever?" I pulled away from the hug.

"Jenna, I saw you this morning." I said with a laugh.

"Oh. This is Andie Star." Jenna said pointing to her friend. "Andie, this is Ric's daughter, Myra.

"I held my hand out for her to shake it, and she shook it with a smile.

" So, how do you know Damon? "She asked with a hint of jealousy.

" Damon and I are friends. I met him when I moved down here, and my dad and him are basically the best of friends. "I explained to her.

" Anything ever happen between the two of you? "She asked straightening up. I looked at Jenna, and we both bursted out laughing.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You think ... Oh this is too good. "I said as I continued to laugh. Once I calmed down, I looked back to her.

" You don't have to worry about me. Damon and I are just friends, I promise. "She seemed more relaxed.

" Sorry for jumping to conclusions. He's just always talking about you and Elena. "I looked at her confused.

" He talks about me? "I asked confused.

" Yeah. He's conflicted because he wants to be good because you and Elena see it in him, but he can't because it's not who he is ... blah.blah.blah. "She said rolling her eyes. I looked over at Damon who was walking towards us.

"I'll be right back." I said to them. "It was nice meeting you Andie." I said with a smile. I walked towards Damon, grabbed his hand and brought him down the hall.

" What? "He asked confused.

" Your girlfriend, Andie Star, just told me you talk about how you want to be good for me and for Elena. "He sighed.

" Why didn't you tell me you felt that way? That you want to be good but it's not who you are? "

" Because then you would lecture me about how I am the person you think I am. But newsflash, I don't know how to be that person, Myra. I only know how to be the person I've been for over a hundred years. "He said angrily.

"Damon, people change. You might not think so, but they do. And you, you can definitely change because you used to not care, and now all you do is care. You care about Stefan, Elena, .. me .. .my dad ... Damon you care, and that doesn't make you any less of a person.In my eyes, it makes you an amazing person capable of change.And you don't need to be this monster you see yourself as. " I told him.

"I told you, I'll always be here to tell you that." He looked at me and gave me a smile. I brought him in for a hug. But we were interrupted by the sound of someone clearing their throat. I turned to our right to see a pissed off Andie standing there with her arms crossed.

"Nothing to worry about, huh?" Andie said with a scoff. She turned around and walked away. Damon looked at me confused.

"She thinks I have a thing for you." I said rolling my eyes.

"Wrong brother." I looked at him shocked.

"Don't give me that look. I know you like Stefan. But don't worry, your secret's safe with me." He said zipping his lips. He smirked before walking away. I sighed and went back to the party. Everyone was sitting down. I was going to sit in the empty chair next to Damon, but Andie quickly sat there. I sighed and sat next to my dad.

"What was that about?" He asked. I shook my head not wanting to discuss it now.

"I hate to break it to you, Damon, but according to Elijah, your family is so not a founder of this town." Jenna said pouting a glass of wine for Damon.

"Hmm, do tell." Damon asked picking up the glass and drinking from it. Jenna then moved over to me and gave me some sparkling cider. Buzzkill.

"Well, as I mentioned to Jenna earlier, a faction of settlers migrated from Salem after the witch trials in the 1690s. Over the next hundred years they developed this community where they could feel safe from persecution." Elijah explained.

"Hmm. Because they were witches." Jenna said. I looked at Elijah, who was already looking at me.

"Yeah, but there's no tangible proof there were witches in Salem." Andie pointed out.

"Andie's a journalist. Big on facts." Damon said rubbing her back. I rolled my eyes at his fake relationship.

"Well, the lore says that there was this wave of anti-witch hysteria. It broke out in the neighboring settlement, so these witches were rounded up. They were tied to stakes in a field together and, uh, burned. Some say you could hear the screams from miles around us. They were consumed by the fire. Could you pass the ...

"Elijah said pointing to the wine. "I wouldn't repeat this to the Historical Society." Jenna said with a smirk.

"It's starting to sound a little like a ghost story to me." John said.

"So, why do you want to know the location of these alleged massacres?" I asked him. Everyone turned to me.

"You know ... a healthy historian's curiosity, of course." He said drinking his wine.

"Of course." I said drinking my cider. As everyone started to get up after dinner, I sighed and stood up.

"The gentlemen should take their drinks in the study." Andie suggested with a smile.

"I have to say the food was almost as wonderful as the company." Elijah said looking at Andie. She pointed to him.

"I like you." Andie said with a smirk.

"I'll be in the bathroom if you need me." I said to Jenna. I started to walk off.

"Like anyone would need you." I heard Andie say. I turned around and glared at her.

"You have something to say, say it to my face." I said walking towards her.

"Then see where that gets you, cause I'm not one for talking things out." I said cracking my knuckles.

"Woah, Myra calm down. I was only playing." Andie said with a laugh.

"Like hell you were. You're jealous that I'm friends with Damon. Well, if you can't deal with that, then you should just get out now because I'm always gonna be in Damon's life, whether you like it or not. " I said turning my heal. I walked to the bathroom and shut the door and sighed. Suddenly, I felt my phone vibrating. I saw it was Stefan.

"Hey." He started yelling something, but I couldn't understand.

"Slow down. Slow down." He then told me what was going on.

"Ok. I'll stop it now." I ended the call and ran out of the bathroom. I ran as fast as I could to the study. I pushed the doors open and Damon looked at me angrily.

"Boys ... we forgot about desert." I looked behind me to see Andie standing there. She walked past me to Elijah.

"Elijah." Andie said holding her hand out.

"Miss Star .." Elijah said with a smile. Elijah handed his glass to Damon, who drained it, and took Andie's hand. He twirled her around, and they walked out of the room together. As soon as they leave, Damon walked up to me angrily. I pointed down at the dagger. Damon doesn't understand what I meant. I walked over to a desk and wrote something down on a piece of paper. I handed it to Damon who read it. The paper said "The dagger will kill you if you use it." Damon angrily threw the paper at the ground.

"Your welcome." I mouthed to him. He sighed and we walked out of the room.

"Ric, would you do me a favor and grab the notebook out of my bag?" Andie asked him. My dad walked over to the bag.

"Elijah, did John tell you he's Elena's uncle-slash-father?" Damon asked him.

"Yes, I'm well aware of that." Elijah said sitting in his seat.

"Of course, she hates him, so there's absolutely no need to keep him on the endangered species list." Damon said looking at Elijah.

"No Ric, it's in the front pocket. On the ... you know what? Excuse me, guys. Sorry." Andie said getting up.

"What I'd like to know, Elijah, is how do you intend on killing Klaus?" John asked.

"Gentlemen, there's a few things we should probably get clear right now. I allow you to live solely to keep an eye on Elena. I allow Elena to remain in her house living her life with her friends as she does as a courtesy. If you become a liability, I'll take her away from you and you'll never see her again. " Elijah said with a dead smile. I gulped in nervousness. Andie came back with her notebook and sat down.

"Okay. My first question is when you got here to Mystic .." She was cut off by Elijah groaning. I looked at him and saw my dad had staked him with the dagger in the hear through the back of the chair. Elijah screamed and died. I put my hand over my mouth in shock. My dad pulled the dagger out and placed it on the table. He looked at Damon.

"Now, get rid of him before Jenna comes back with dessert." He said angrily.

"All right." Damon said with a nod.

"We need to get to the lake house. Now." Damon said walking into the study, where I was sitting alone.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"Because Elijah is not as dead as we thought he was. The dagger has to stay in place. And now he's going after Elena. But we need to get there quickly so ..." He opened his arms.

"Come on." I sighed knowing he wanted to carry me.

"Alright, this is going to be-" "I know how this works. I've done it before. Just go!" I yelled. He picked me up and a few minutes later, we were at the lake house. I knocked on the door, and Elena opened it.

"Oh thank God." I said wrapping my arms around her and bringing her in for a hug.

"I'm so glad you're okay."

"I'm fine. I'm here." She said hugging me back. I pulled away and smiled at her.

"But this is not over yet." I nodded before Damon handed her the dagger. We then discussed a plan, that I didn't like at all.

"No, what if it's too late when you try to save her?" I asked Stefan.

"Myra, I'll be fine. Stefan will save me after Elijah is dead." She told me reassuringly. I nodded.

"Fine. But I won't be here to watch. I'll be upstairs if you need me." I said going up the stairs and into one of the bedroom's. I sat on the bed and sighed, put my head in my hands. I heard footsteps coming towards me. I looked up and saw Stefan standing there. I sighed and laid back on the bed.

"Trust me, Elena will be fine." He said walking in the room.

"You don't know that. What if she stabs herself and then Elijah realizes the plan and dodges the dagger? Then what? Elijah stays alive and when you go and try to save Elena, he'll kill you." I said standing up.

"And I can't loose you and Elena."

"You won't. I promise. I'm always gonna be here, okay?" He said looking into my eyes with a smile. I nodded.

"Come here." He said wrapping his arms around my neck. I wrapped mine around his waist and sighed. We pulled apart.

"You still want to stay up here?" I sighed and nodded.

"Okay. I'll come get you when this is over." He walked out of the room, and I laid flat on the bed. About five minutes later, Damon came into the room. I stood up.

"Elena?" I asked.

"She's fine. And Elijah's dead." I quickly ran past him, down the stairs, and towards Elena who was sitting on the couch. I quickly ran up to her and hugged her. She winced.

"Still not completely healed." She said pulling away.

"I'm sorry!" I said apologetically. She shook her head.

"It's fine. And so am I. See, nothing to worry about." She said. I laughed, and she joined. I called my dad and told him what happened after we got back to the Boarding House. I was walking down towards the cellar and saw Damon and Stefan intensely staring at each other.

"Lexi?" Damon asked.

"Yeah. You remember her?" Stefan asked clearly upset. He sighed and walked towards me. He walked past me and out of the cellar.

"Who's Lexi?" I asked Damon. "She was Stefan's best friend." He said "was".

"Was?" I asked confused.

"I kinda killed her." My eyes widened in shock.

"But that was before Stefan and I were on good terms."

"That's not even remotely a good excuse." I said angrily before running after Stefan. I ran to his room and saw him lying on his bed. I sighed and knocked on the open door.

"Hey." He sat up and looked at me.

"Hi. So you know about Lexi."

"Yeah. And I know how it feels, to loose your best friend." I said referring to Liam.

"Thank you, for what you said to Damon." I nodded. "What are friends for? They're supposed to be there for one another." I told him with a sigh. I texted my dad and told him I was going to stay at the Boarding House a little longer because Stefan was going through a rough time. He say fine but come home afterwards.

"And to prove it to you, I'm going to stay here with you until you feel better." I said repeating what he said to me when I was upset. I sat in the chair next to the bed, and he looked at me giving me a smile. "How about we play a game of cards?" He sighed.

"Alright, but I have to admit, Blackjack is my bitch." He said with a smirk. I shook my head.

"Hate to break it to you, but I'm the Queen of Blackjack." I said with a smirk.

"Oh, we'll see about that." He said. He went in one of his draws and pulled out a deck of cards. We played for about an hour before I started to feel a bit tired. I yawned and stretched my arms.

"I think that's enough cards for one night." I said putting them back in the box. I handed them to him and our hands brushed against each other. I felt a tingling sensation flow through my body. I sighed and let go of the box.

"So how do you feel?"

"Better." He said with a smile.

"Good." I said.

"I should get home. It's late." I said walking towards the door of his room.

"But I had fun tonight. I'll see you tomorrow." I said with a smile before walking out the door.

3RD POV

"I'll see you tomorrow." Myra said with a smile before walking out the door.

Stefan heard the front door close and her car drove off. He closed his bedroom door and picked up a chair and threw it on the floor, breaking it. Damon came bursting into the room.

"What happened?" Damon asked looking around at the broken wooden chair.

"You were right." Stefan said running his hands through his hair.

"You need to be more specific. I'm right about a lot of things." Damon said with a smirk.

"About Myra. There's something there, and I don't want it to be there because I love Elena, but it's definitely there." Stefan said with a sigh.
