The Other Salvatore.

The Return.

Arriane slides out of the car gracefully and shuts the door gently before turning and grinning at the boarding house infront of her.

she saunters over to the door and knocks lightly, A man appears, middle aged.

"you must be Zac." She says thoughtfully then shakes her head, now wasn't the time to get distracted.

She purses her lips and barges past him, ignoring his protests, she hears voices in the parlor and smirks deviously.

This could be fun.

"The originals are back." She hears one voice say. Stefan.

"not my problem." the other says simply. Damon.

She leans against the door frame of the parlor and watches them thoughtfully, wondering when exactly they were going to notice her.

" you can't just barge into people's house!" she hears the guy exclaim from behind her, drawing her brothers attention.

She ignores him and smirks at her brothers stunned looks, bemused , pushes of the door frame and struts futher into the room.

"Hello boys." she says sweetly. "Miss me?"

The brothers stunned looks soon turn to ones of disbelief.

"Arriane." Breathes out Stefan, taking a step closer. "but.. how?" he frowns slightly to himself, eyebrows furrowed "You're dead.. I saw your body on the ground, your heart.. it wasn't beating!"

"Ugh." She groans. "Technicallities brother, you see, if you'd of stuck around long enough then you would of realised I had Anna's blood in my system."

Damon stands there, watching the two siblings interact, he knew she was alive, he also knew that she'd been searching for them at one point.

He'd delibrately evaded her.

"what, no hello?" She pouts, turning to her eldest brother.

He rolls his eyes but awnsers anyway. "Hello Arriane." He says boredly, walking over to the bourbon.

"Ari." She corrects with an eyeroll then turns back to Stefan.

"so" She smirks. "where's my room?"

"you're not staying." Damon replies cooly, his jaw set and an unamused glint in his eyes.

Ari raises an eyebrow at her eldest brother. "And why not?" she asks, amusement seeping into her voice.

"Because I said so." he replys simply, swirling his drink round in the glass before quickly downing it.

"She's our sister." Stefan objects from behind. "Ofcourse she's staying."

She sends Damon a smirk, purposely trying to antagonize him.

He steps forward, taking a few steps until he was a few paces away from his younger sister.

"What are you doing?" She asks curiously, raising an eyebrow as he searches her eyes which betray nothing.

"she's not our sister." He says in a detatched tone, uncaring. "Her humanity is off."

Stefan frowns and turns to Ari, studying her carefully. "Is that true?"

She chuckles coldly and rolls her eyes, stepping away from Damon, she shrugs.

"Well observed Brother." she spits out with a smirk. "i'm not here for a reunion, i'm here for revenge."
