"I am the Salvatore Witch," I repeated. Elena looked confused and Bonnie was terrified, while my brothers just rolled their eyes. "What? What does that mean?" Elena asked. Of course I would have to explain the whole story.

"Before I was turned, I was a witch. Except, I was not a normal one. I had an immense amount of magic…dark magic, to be exact." I looked around to see Elena looking at me with wide eyes, and I had everyone's undivided attention. "The curse of having dark magic was bestowed on my mother's bloodline, and she passed the curse onto me. To activate it, I had to kill a supernatural being. I did not know this, so I triggered it by accident. One night, a new vampire came into town, and needed he needed a little snack. So, he tried to kill Stefan when he was walking around during the night. I heard Stefan call for help, so I ran to help my brother. I found him being drained of his blood. Because the vampire was stronger than I, I used my magic to conjure a stake. I then drove it threw his heart." As I said this, Stefan put his arm around me, remembering that horrible night.

I just stood there with blank eyes, remembering. Damon snapped me out of my trance when he started to shake me. Trying to blink back the tears, I took Bonnie's hands and said, "I am not going to hurt you Bonnie, I promise."

The next day at school, while I was talking to Rebekah, Matt came up to me. "Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?" he said. "Sure," I said turning to Rebekah, "I'll see you later Beks." So, Rebekah left us alone, but I could tell that she was going to be eavesdropping anyways.

"So…" He said, "Are you going to the decade dance? Cuz I was wondering if you wanted to go…with me..if that's alright," He is adorable. "I would love that," I replied with a smile. Grinning, Matt added, "Great, I'll pick you up at 7."

When I got home, I ran up to my room to pick out my outfit. At the end of each decade, I would return home to check up on things, bringing my clothes with me. So, I already had a couple of dresses from the twenties in my closet. I needed to show everyone what a real flapper looked like. I decided to wear a black fringe dress with black tights, and a matching black feather.

Once I finished, it was already 530, and I was hungry. Quickly, I hunted, catching about 2 bunnies. When I walked through the door of the boarding house, there was Damon. I did not feel like hearing him tease me at the moment, so I darted up to my room to get ready for the dance.

At 658, right as Stefan was leaving to pick up Elena, Matt rung the doorbell. Damon answered, great, now we will be late if he does the whole protective act. Thankfully, he let me go without a fight, as he too was going to the dance.

When we strolled into the dance, I saw everyone in their 20s themed attire. The banner in the doorway said, "The Roaring Twenties". Those years really were some of the best. I saw Caroline with her boyfriend, Tyler, Bonnie was with Jamie, and I even saw Elena and Stefan dancing. It was going to be a very interesting night, I thought as Matt pulled me onto the dance floor.

About an hour or so into the dance, Matt accidentally got a cut. He tried to hide it, but I could smell the blood. "Here, let me help you," I said while pulling him into the light. "No, I'll just get a band aid or something if it bothers you." He said nicely, trying not to be judgmental. "It doesn't bother me, I can control the bloodlust, I'm not my brothers." I replied. "But you're a vampire", he stated, "Why doesn't it effect you?" "I have never killed anyone," I said, dodging his last question. His eyes widened in shock. I smiled at him warmly, trying to comfort him as I put the band aid on the cut.

A couple of minutes later, Matt excused himself to go dance with Caroline. As I watched him go, another figure stood in front of me, blocking my view. Klaus. "Hello, love," he said, "Would you like to dance?" He looked at me with those eyes, that you just couldn't say no to, but I could. "Not really, so why don't you go ask Vampire Barbie if she would dance with you?" I said curtly, smiling that wicked grin of mine. He seemed a little hurt by what I said, but he took out his hand and waited. "Fine," I said, "Just this once." "You said that last time love," he replied pulling my body into his, "See how that turned out?" He was right, last time I said that I was pretty much in denial of my feelings. Seeing my surrender, Klaus smiled, and asked, "So you're into humans now? Don't judge me before you take a good look in the mirror." How dare he, I'm nothing like him. As always, Niklaus could predict how things would affect me, and went on, "Trying to make me jealous, love?" I laughed and said, "No, but why? Does it bother you?" He laughed just as the song we were dancing to was ending, he leaned in and said, "You always did know how to make me crazy." Then, he walked away. I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach after he said that.
