"It's the same as the bracelet Elena gave you.", Stefan told me as he was giving me something after what happened last night. "So it protects me from compulsion?", I questioned as I smelled it.

"Vervain is toxic to vampires". "You mean like poison?", I questioned confused. "Yeah. It's very poisonous. It'll keep them out of you head.", Stefan explained to me.

"But why vervain?", I asked not understanding all of it still. "I don't know. There's certain natural herbs and roots and other elements... that are harmful to vampires."

"Like a stake to the heart?", I questioned him. "Right, but it has to be wood.", he replied back to me. "You're pretty confident... in yourself telling me all the different ways I could kill you", I told him.

"Maya if I thought you wanted to kill me, we'd be having a different conversation.", he replied back. "And Damon is the one that deserves it.", I told him.

"I want you to forget about Damon. He's hundred times stronger than you... and right not he's not stable. You gotta try to move forward.", Stefan tried to but I wasn't gonna let this slide.

"I was first raped and then killed by a vampire and was brought back to This awful world by some kinda magic ring. How do you move forward from that?", I questioned as I gave him a bitch look.

"Today. We have a nice distraction courtesy of the slave driver Elena. Hello, Elena", Stefan said as my sister came. "Hey, Maya—" , she asked me.

"Yeah, yeah. I set up the goldfish toss. All 300 goldfish. It's gonna be epic.", I answered and slammed the locker and walked away.


"Maya. So good to see you alive." I heard behind me as I was ordering some popcorn at the carnival. "Aren't you a little old for a school carnival?", I replied.

"About 150 years too old", he answered. "You're pretty funny cracking jokes when I could... blow the whole lid off this thing by telling someone what you really are. ".

"So please tell me that, that is not a threat. ", he said to me as he grabbed me behind where no one could see us. "Maybe it is".

"This is what we're not gonna do", he replied trying to choke me. "We're not gonna walk around like we're invincible... when it's this easy for me to end you. ", he added as he let me go.

"And remember I raped you once I could easily do it again , also if you wanna tell people what I am go ahead, try. I will show this ring so far up your ass... you'll really have something to choke on. " he told me as he threw my ring in my face.

"Son of a bitch", I whispered to myself as he left.

"She's obviously pissed at me for something, but for what? No clue.", Matt told me. "What happened?", I asked curious.

"She freaked out. And she's been like that all day. Cool one minute. And crazy neurotic the next.", Matt explained to me. "She almost died. It's bound to mess with her head. Plus , she's Caroline", I answered.

"Yeah. I'm used to the insecurities and all that. It's who she is, love it or hate it. But This seemed, I don't know, different. More. I— I can't explain it.".

"Thanks for letting me invite Caroline. She could use a day of distraction.", I told my aunt Jenna. "We'll, she's not the plus-one I'm worried about , why is Damon coming?", Jenna answered me.

"Because Alaric is a pity-taker. I seriously don't want to but you know Elena. She wants us to be all nice and all.", I told her. "I'll be nice when Damon learns to keep his paws off you", Jenna replied as I laughed a bit.

"Good news, found the shot glasses ", Mason came back to us, Tyler's uncle. Some guy who went to high school with my aunt. "That would be my exit", I said as I went to leave.

"We haven't met properly, Mason Lockwood.", he approached me, we had met before only when he caught me with Tyler. "Yeah right. Maya Gilbert", I replied.

"I know. Heard Great things about you", he told me. "I know you have", I answered jokingly.

"Hey Maya", I heard behind me. "Elena?", I said surprised considering she wasn't answering any of my calls. "Yeah?", she replied confused. "Where you been the whole day?", I asked her.

"It's not important we need to go to Stef!", Elena desperately answered as me and Caroline looked at her. "I'm sure he's fine", Caroline replied. I was dragged away.

"Stefan?", Elena tried but no one was answering. "I'm going up and look you be down here ok?", she asked me as I nodded. "Stefan?", I asked as I just looked around.

I turned around to see a women looking exactly like me, not Elena. She had curly hair, black clothes, heels. A smile on her face.

"You must be Maya", she told me. I think her name was Katherine or something. "How is this possible?" I asked in fear. "How do we look exactly alike?", I asked but she didn't answer me and just took a stare over my body.

"You're asking the wrong questions." "Maya", I heard from my sister and Stefan. And she was gone. "You okay?", my sister asked. "Not really", I answered shaking my head.

"Are you okay?", I asked my sister. "I am fine" and she hugged me.

"I can't believe Ty is a werewolf." I said to my sister as she was standing in our bathroom as I was standing the doorway. "We're not sure about that yet. We know for sure that Mason Lockwood is.", my sister explained.

"That should be easy enough for us to figure out." I replied. " there is no us. I said that I wouldn't keep things from you anymore. That doesn't mean that I want you involved in it", Elena told me.

"Please, he's my ex of course I am involved.", I answered my sister. "This is dangerous. You have to stay out of it, okay?."

"All right. Just saying." I told her and left for school.

"Hey, how've you been?", I approached my ex as I saw him sitting there alone. "Since when?".

"Haven't seen you since your father's funeral. I just figured out that maybe you'd want...", I tried but him being Tyler nothing works. "I'm fine. Gilbert".

"Yeah, okay.", I answered and was about to leave not wanting to be with someone who's just having an attitude. "Wait. Hold up , I'm sorry. Bad day, bad month.", Tyler told me as I turned around.

"Listen, you were cool that day, at the wake. Thanks for that. Felt like kind of a freak show.", Tyler explained to me. "Yeah, well. I know the feeling well. What are you doing here anyway?", I replied to him.

"Distracting myself. ", he answered me. "Hey, thanks for the text where to?", one girl and a boy came approaching him how awkward isn't this?. "My place , my mom's gone all day, empty house, fully stocked bar.", Tyler told her.

"Margaritas?", the girl questioned. "Sure."
"You in?" Tyler asked me. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in", I answered. "Let's do it."
