Ivy is the twin sister of Elena Gilbert.
She is feisty and the complete opposite of her sister. However she will fight for her family no matter what. She can feel that there are dark times ahead.
Ever since their parents death Ivy has been trying...
"Good Morning everyone. Alrighty" Says a man, as he walks into History.
"Alaric Saltzman. It's a mouthful, I know. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. Saltzman is of German origins. My family emigrated here in 1755 to Texas. I, however, was born and raised in Boston. Now the name Alaric belongs to a very dead great-grandfather I will never be able to thank enough. You'll probably want to pronounce 'Alaric' but it's 'Alaric' ,okay? So, you can call me Rick. I'm your new history teacher." Says the very attractive new teacher.
After class Bonnie pulls me along with Elena. She's on a mission and I've learnt to never stop her when she's determined. We sit outside on the lawn, our table facing the school. She explains the dreams that she's been having.
"Do you believe in ghosts? Because I think I'm being haunted." She whispers. I feel bad for her.
"Okay quick question, why is Ivy here?" Elena asks Bonnie. I rise my brow at her.
"I've known for a while now. She's school started actually. No one believed, not even the witch herself. But I did. So stoping being rude." I say as coldly as I can. I'm only here for Bonnie.
"Anyway... Grams said she was a powerful witch back in the Civil War days, and that this medallion was hers. A witch's talisman. My dreams started ever since I got it. I think she's using it to communicate with me."
"I think you should listen to what she has to say." I say and walk away to my next class.

I decided to walk home today. It's not too far and I needed to clear my head.
When I got home I immediately took a nap. Everything that's been happening, has been taking a toll on me. Draining me mentally.
I only get an hour of sleep before Caroline barges into my room. "Get up, we're doing manicures and it's really awkward. So I don't want to be alone." She complains while pulling me along with her.
When we get downstairs, I feel the tension. It's so thick, you can cut it with scissors. Everyone is quiet and not making eye contact. I nudge Caroline and point my head at Bonnie. It's hypocritical of me to push her to make amends with Bonnie, when I'm not willing to do the same.
But I'm sure that whatever Bonnie did, it couldn't have been as bad as what Elena did.
She sighs, rolling her eyes at me. "I'm sorry. There. I said it." She says. "If you want the ugly-ass necklace, keep it. It's yours." She says a bit softer than the first time.
I expect her to smile but instead I see regret on her face. Her brows frown and her shoulders slump a bit. She doesn't look Caroline in the eye for a second but she turn back when she speaks. "Will you hate me if I tell you I threw it away?"
Caroline's eyes go wide, her mouth twists. Her hands go on her hips but visibly turns pink. "You threw it away?" She stomps her foot on the ground, like a child throwing a tantrum.
"I know it sounds crazy, but the necklace was giving me nightmares. I had to get rid of it." She defends herself against Caroline.
"You could have just given it back to me." Caroline replies.
"Why? So you could give it back to Damon?" Elena ask, with narrowed eyes and raised eyebrows.
Caroline doesn't look anyone in the eyes. "Screw Damon."
"Are we doing manicures or what? Who has their kit?" She says pinching her nose.
Elena knows something. She's been tense since she mentioned Damon. Why would he want the necklace?
Caroline gets the manicure from Bonnie's bag, only to find the necklace. "Why are you such a little liar, Bonnie?" I notice her tapping her feet while holding up the necklace.
The necklace isn't that ugly. It wouldn't go with anything at all but it's not ugly. It an antique so of course it doesn't fit with the modern day fashion. Completely lost in thought I don't really process what they say.
"I can't talk to you. You don't listen." That true. She only listens to respond.
"That's not true." I scoff at her and raise my brow. She narrows her eyes but Bonnie drops a bomb on her.
"I'm a witch." And all I can think about is 'you're a wizard Harry.' I can't help but laugh. I get weird looks from everyone and apologise.
Caroline doesn't miss a beat and retorts immediately. " And don't we all know it." And again I think 'I'm a wot?' And this time in an effort to stop myself from laughing, it comes out as a snort.
"I'm so sorry. You guys just remind me of Harry Potter." They ignore me, of course they do.
"See? That's what I'm talking about. I'm trying to tell you something. You don't even hear it."
I slowly back away from the three girls. It's not my place to be here and they haven't been very welcoming either. That's completely fine because I-I wasn't invited. I never am.
I wrap my hands around myself as I walk up the stairs... I guess I'll never mean much to anyone. I can lie to myself and say that Elena, Jeremy and Jenna care. That they love me but they're supposed to, they're family.
I hesitantly open my door, I thought I heard them call my name. My heart even picked up and my ears perked up but they didn't call out my name.
It's nice to pretend to be a badass but it's lonely. Faking it only gets you so far. I think I pretend so that I don't have to be disappointed by people. Because let's face it...I'm not worthy of love anyway.
My lips quivers and hot tears fall down my cheek. I see reflection in the mirror, a sad girl with weird eyes looks back at me. "If only there was someone out there who loved you."

Please let me know what you think.
Should Ivy and Elena fix their relationship or no?Because I'm trying to figure that out myself.
Also what do you think about this other side of Ivy? The more sensitive.
She's always been this way, I think everything that's been happening has started to push her over the edge.
