Founder's Event Kick-off

[Tabitha POV]

The Founder's Event was fast approaching and I was trying to be completely normal around everyone, and being extra attentive to Matt, Caroline, and Tyler after the discovery of Vicki's body. 

The night of the Founder's Party, I got dressed in a nice emerald dress with gold jewelry and as soon as I made my first go around with pleasantries and greetings, I noticed Stefan walk in with Damon. I quickly pulled out my phone and texted Damon, "Are you sure Stefan's ready to be out and about?"

Damon looked at his phone and spotted me, walking over, "I know you're worried about him, but Stefan will be fine."

"I don't trust your tone. If anything goes wrong tonight, I will personally hold you responsible."

I then stomped away, trying to find a secluded corner of the party, but soon my wrist was snatched and I looked up to see the culprit, Elena's uncle, John Gilbert, "I heard about what happened with Logan, care to have a private chat Tabitha?"

"Of course, Mr. Gilbert, after you."

He led me into one of the side rooms and closed the door, "I'm sorry for pulling you away from such a wonderful party, but what we are about to discuss should not leave this room."

I nodded, "Understood."

"I was actually sent by Katherine to help you eliminate the Tomb Vampire problem. Imagine my surprise when I heard a child was going to be helping me spearhead this operation."

I sneered, "I have been through hell since the start of this year. I may still be underage, but I am no longer a child. I will do whatever it takes to make this town safe for my child."

"Anything? Even killing the Salvatore brothers?"

I paused for a moment, pushing down the guilt and tightening my resolve, "Stefan is drunk and currently a bleeding paper-cut away from slaughtering the entire party and Damon will torture and kill anything that even slightly aggravates him. They have been a pain in my neck since they moved to town. If they have to go, along with the tomb vamps, so be it."

John studied me then nodded, "Very well, I like your conviction, and the fact you have already killed a couple of vampires already. Give me your phone number and I'll be in touch."

I nodded and John asked, "Is it true what you said about Damon?"

"Yes why?"

"I might try and see how far I can push him."

"Don't, he'll kill you."

John then held up his hand and I spotted his ring, it was identical to Alaric's, "Oh I'm counting on it. If he kills me, I will just come right back, but I would be helpful if you can make sure no one finds my body until the ring kicks in."

I smirked, "Alright, I can do that."

"Good, I'll see you out there." John left first and I waited a couple minutes before following him out. I kept to the wall watching John from a distance until he went outside to talk to Damon out on the balcony. I walked over to the window on the edge of the balcony and slightly drew back the curtain to watch the events unfold. I didn't take long for Damon to get upset. As Damon started to walk away, I actually thought for a split moment he wouldn't let his anger control him, but then he stopped, turned, rushed at John Gilbert, snapped his neck and then threw him off of the balcony. I gasped drawing back the curtain and allowed myself to catch my breath before subtly heading downstairs to drag John's body into the bushes.

I went back inside, posting myself just inside the doorway to keep anyone from walking out, however I heard yelling and ran over to make sure it wasn't Stefan when I heard crashing. I pushed through the crowd to see Tyler on top of Matt, beating the crap out of him, and Matt's mom getting up from a wrecked table and shattered glass. I screamed, "Tyler! Get off of him!" I then lunged, toppling Tyler to the ground, only to be flipped over and Tyler about to throw a punch down on me, when Dr. Saltzman grabbed him and puled him off.

Elena helped me to my feet before going to tend to Matt and I asked Matt, "What the hell happened?"

Matt growled, "That son of a bitch was kissing my mom."

Anger began to boil up in my chest, "Ok. Elena, take care of him while I go find a first-aid kit."

"Ok, be quick."

I went back inside finding Kelly Donovan before finding the first-aid kit and I grabbed her by the neck, squeezing so she couldn't scream and backed him into the wall, "Do you even realize what you've just done? Your son just saw you almost have sex with his best friend! You are the saddest excuse for a mother I have ever met. I hope you realize you just blew your last chance at ever being a mother because I guarantee Matt will never forgive you for this."

I then released my grip on her and threw her down into a chair, "Wait here until I find a first-aid kit."

While I was searching around I saw John walk back through the front door and I walked over to him, "How long was I out?"

"About 15-20ish minutes, you missed the mayor's son and his best friend getting into a fight that cause several bleeding wounds. Need a drink, or a lint roller before I continue my search for a first-aid kit?"

"I can get the drink myself, but if you could just brush off any obvious dirt I can't reach I'd be eternally grateful."

I walked behind John brushing off the most of the dirt and mud before coming to stand next to him, "Done. I'm going to take off after I tend to the wounded, but enjoy the rest of your night. Text me if you need me."

"Thank you," he stating walking back into the mix of the party.

I finally found a first-aid kit and tended to Kelly before finding Matt and patching him up. After I returned the first-aid kit, I went up to Tyler's room and knocked on the door, "Tyler? It's Tabitha, we need to talk." After a few beats of silence, I pressed my ear to the door, hearing him just beyond it and called out again, "I understand if you don't want to talk, but you do need to listen. I know you're upset about Vicki, but how exactly are you honoring her by nearly sleeping with her mother? You better come up with the best apology in the world before you approach Matt again, do you understand me? You have a lot of shit to sort out Tyler and I suggest you do so quickly and soon. Have a good night."

I made my way down the stairs, hearing the bell being rung somewhere else in the house and decided it was probably best to go home. I had just gotten ready for bed when I heard the doorbell ring and I ran downstairs, looking through the peephole to see Matt standing outside with a duffel bag. I quickly opened the door, "Matt? What are you doing here?"

I noticed the tears in his eyes and I immediately pulled him inside, closing the door, and pulling him into a hug, "Hey. Hey. I'm here. What happened?"

"I kicked my mom out, but until she leaves I can't stay there. I can't face her."

I squeezed the big boy a little tighter, "I understand, you can stay here as long as you need to, okay?" After a bit, I felt Matt relax and I drew away, "Why don't you go take a shower and then head to bed. I'll make sure you're up early enough to get ready for school, okay?"

Matt nodded and then disappeared silently into the guest bedroom. As soon as I heard the shower going I ran around hiding my weapons and locking the basement up; the last thing Matt needed right was to learn about the supernatural and that Vicki died because of it. Once I made sure everything was put away and secured I gently knocked on Matt's door, when he opened it I gave him a hug, "I just wanted to say goodnight before I went to sleep. Wake me up if you need anything okay?"

I let go and started to walk away when Matt grabbed my wrist, "Wait, I need to say this now, if not I'm going to forget again." He paused breathing slowly, "Thank you for everything you've done for me Tabs. Thank you for always being there for me, looking out for me, and truly being the only true friend I've got. With everything that's happened, I don't know who I can trust anymore, but I know I can trust you. So thank you."

I smiled, "You're welcome, Matt. And I want you to always remember that I will always be here."
