The Other Salvatore.

The Plan.

"I'm not here for a reunion, I'm here for revenge."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everything's silent for a few moments and Arriane stands there, a sly smirk on her face.

Stefan's the first to break the silence, he looks over at her, frowning. "Revenge?" He asks, clearly confused. "why would you want revenge?"

Arriane sighs and rolls her eyes, walking away from her brothers slightly to pace the room.

"This towns prejudice against vampire's set about a series of events, as a result of which, we were turned." She pursued her lips and glances at them. "The council members caused this and they'll die because of it."

Her lips turn up into a slight smirk and Stefan sends her an incredulous glance before speaking, his tone's stern but surprised. "You can't just.. kill.. innocent people Arriane." He struggles to get the words out, thinking of a way to convince her. "These people.. weren't the cause of our deaths, you can't just kill all of the council members.." He shakes his head, walking over and placing a hand on her arm.

"I know you're in there somewhere, your humanity is in there somewhere and when you turn it back on? The guilt will eat you alive." He looks at her seriously, waiting for a response.

Arriane scowls at her brother and shakes him off. "They are not innocent Stefan! Don't you think that if they had the chance, history would repeat itself?" She scoffs lightly and shakes her head before speaking once more, this time in a low but dangerous tone. "I'm not just going to kill the council members, I'm going to kill there families, I'm going to make sure this town can never have a council again, that what happened back then will never happen again, try and stop me and I'll kill you to."

Stefan sighs and glances at Damon, giving him a 'Feel free to step in at any time.' look.

Damon shrugs simply, pouring himself another glass of bourbon and sitting on the couch as he observes his siblings as they argue.

He had no idea his sister was so much like him, even with her humanity off, she'd always been the good one in the family, the one there father loved the most.

He also knew however that this was not her and if he let her continue like this then she would get them all killed.

The only person who was related to a council member that he was worried about was Elena, whether or not he admitted it, he loved her and he refused to let his sister hurt her.

"Were done here." Arriane says simply before walking off.

Damon glances up the stairs as his sister stalks off and listens to her walk into her room and close the door before turning to his brother who was staring at him, an annoyed expression on his face.

"Could you of been any more helpful?" He asks, scowling lightly. "Our thought to be dead sister is on a suicide mission, how can you just sit there?"

"Easy" Damon replies, an easy Smirk working its way onto his face.

He stands up and looks at Stefan before saying lowly, "I don't care."

Of course that was a lie, Damon may of been a jerk but he cared about his family. Especially his little sister.

He stalks upstairs and lounges on the bed, closing his eyes as a memory works its way into his mind.

"Catch me if you can!" An 8 year old Ari giggles, running away from her big brother as fast as she can.

Damon chuckles quietly and picks up his speed, swooping his little sister into his arms and tickling her.

"got you." he teases, a wide smile on his face. "Say Damon's the best and i'll let you go."

"never!" She giggles, squirming in his arms.

He chuckles again and tickles her more.

"I give, I give!" She squeals, gasping for breath between giggling. "Damon's the best."

He smiles and sets her on his feet, patting her head lightly. "good girl. that's what I like to hear."

Arriane sticks her tounge out at her older brother, causing him to start chasing her again.

She squeals and quickly runs and hides behind an incoming Stefan.

"Stefan!" She squeals cutely. "Dame's going to me!"

As a young girl, Arriane had struggled to pronounce her eldest brothers name and so had took to calling him Dame.

Even though she was now perfectly capable of pronouncing it, the nickname has stuck and he couldn't help the easy grin that came onto his face from hearing it.

Stefan laughs lowly and takes his little sisters arm gently before pulling her into a hug.

"Leave her alone Damon." he says, mock sternly as he grins.

Damon watches to two with a smile and sighs dramatically.

 "I guess I can do that." He smiles.

coming out of the memory Damon smiles and wonders to himself what happened to his sister to make her turn it off, she'd always been very optimistic, even when things were down.

as he ponders this, the door opens and Arriane walks in, a curious look on her face.

"Who's this Elena that Stefan's warning about me!?" She demands.

He sits up slightly and looks at his younger sister. "well hello to you to little sister." He drawls out sarcastically.

She rolls her eyes and gives him an annoyed glance. "I don't have time for your games brother, now stop avoiding my question."

He raises an eyebrow and chuckles lowly. "So demanding." He smirks, glancing at her.

"Are you going to tell me or not!?" She asks scowling.

"Nope." he drawls out once again, popping the P purely to annoy her.

"Fine." she snaps and turns to leave then stops and glances over her shoulder. "you're either with me or against me Damon and im not a good enemy to make." With that, she starts to walk out.

Damon frowns slightly then sighs and grabs her arm, waiting for her to turn before speaking. "what happened to you?" he asks gently, confused. "you used to be so optimistic and full of life but now.. your just empty."

She stays silent for several moment, her humanity fighting its way back in at her brother's concerned tone of voice, the voice she hadn't heard in over a century.

Finally she scowls and yanks her arm from his before storming out without a word.

He watches her leave, a smirk working its way onto his face once again.

He'd saw the humanity in her eyes, maybe she wasn't beyond saving after all.
