         Seraphina woke up and there was a small fire burning in the fireplace. She looked around and there was blood everywhere.

         "Elijah," She coughed. She looked down at her dress and there was a blood stain on it where the sword was driven through her heart. She felt so weak. So tired. She got up on her knees to see no one was with her. The light of the fire burned her eyes. She shielded her face and managed to stumble outside. She tripped but was caught. She looked up to the man she loved. His long hair around his face.

         "Elijah," She said weakly. He had a small smile but there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

        "I promise to never leave you again," He said.

        Seraphina jolted awake on the couch. She looked around her and felt her chest area. She was still in the clothes she wore yesterday. She was startled by a chuckle from beside her.

        "Bad dream?" Damon asked her. She sighed and put her head in her hands.

         "I'm going to change the locks on the door," She said. Damon was sitting with his legs crossed on the couch.

         "You know, I tampered with Stefan's dream this morning. But I wasn't able to get into yours. So, what were you dreaming about?" He asked smugly. She looked at him and scoffed.

         "And why would I tell you?" She asked, getting up off the couch and going to her room. Damon, quick on her heels.

        "Oh you know, because we're friends and what are friends for," He said. She got inside her room and was able to shut the door and cast a spell on it so Damon couldn't get in.

         "Oh and friends mess with each other's minds? No thank you," She said sarcastically. She rummaged through her dresser, pulling out a black sweater crop top and black shorts. She got changed and opened the door. Damon standing right there.

        "What were you dreaming about Sera?" He asked. A bit more genuine than before. She sighed and ran her hands over her face.

         "When I turned," She said, not looking at him. Damon looked at her. He could tell she was upset about something.

        "You said a name, I think it was Elijah," He said. Her eyes widened.

         "I don't know an Elijah. Probably just some weird name I came up with," She said hurriedly and walked out. He let it go and walked with her.

         "You know, I heard some rumors going around that tonight is the Founders Day party. We should go," He said. Seraphina looked at him with a 'really' look.

        "And what makes you think I want to go to that?" She asked him.

         "Well, I already have a date and you know Stefan is gonna go with Elena. You should come as well. Maybe it will be fun," He said.

         "How did you get a date?" She asked with a small laugh. Damon smiled and looked at her.

          "Her name is Caroline Forbes and I compelled her," He said. Seraphina's smile dropped.

         "Really? A founder? Wow both you and Stefan are out of your minds. What do you hope to accomplish?" She asked him. Damon looked around.

         "Between you and me, I'm gonna try and get on that Founders council I know they have," He said.
