"Kyra, you need to get to the party now." Elena ordered quickly, sounding scared.

"Whats happened?" I ask.

"I don't know, something, someone, hurt Caroline I think," She explains.

"Okay, I'm on my way now, don't worry." I assure while grabbing my jacket and keys.

"Kyra, listen, I think," She pauses for a second, "I think it was Damon."

-------------------------------------------

I get to the Lockwood residence and head around the back, to find someone quickly. I get to the garden and look around to the see a figure in the distance on the floor. I go towards them, to then get a better view and recognise the blonde teenager.

"Caroline?" I ask as she begins to get off the floor, "Caroline, are you okay? Elena called me, she sounded worried about you."

" Yeah, I'm fine" She answers vaguely.

"What happened?" I ask again.

"I'm fine," She repeats yet with a shaky voice.

"No, your not. Your shaking. Caroline...What-"

"I'm fine!" She repeats once again but in a louder voice, pacing around, starting to walk back to the house.

"Caroline," I say as I grab her wrist, "Come here," I wrap my arms around her, "Come here." And with that she hold on to me tightly and cries on my shoulder.

--------------------------------------------

I start to look around the party, looking around. I don't fit in at all, everyone is dressed up in their nicest clothes which is understandable seen as they are at the mayor's house, however then there's me in jeans as I rushed down here to help Elena.

"Well, who is this?" I hear someone say from behind me, which causes me to turn around.

"What do you want?" I ask not wanting to be in his presence.

"Just wondering what your doing here" He states.

"That's not of your business." I spit back at him, starting to walk away from him, however he grabs my wrist and pulls me to him, so my back is next to his chest.

"Now, now, think you need to watch that little mouth of yours." He says with a slight tone of trying to threaten me.

"Let go of me, Damon." I try to get out his grip but his hand tightens making it harder to move.

He turns me around so we're centimeters apart and looks into my eyes.

"What are you doing here?" He asks again, this time his pupils dilating. The way he stares into my eyes makes me kind of confused.

He looks at me with anticipation and waiting for me to answer.

"I," I start, and then take the chance to push him away from me, "Get away Damon. I swear if you hurt me or any of my friends including Caroline, you'll pay!" I yell before walking away, not caring that everyone's eyes are watching me, and Damon's heads titled in a slight confused manner.

-------------------------------------------

I try to walk quickly, hoping that Damon doesn't follow, I look behind me to check if he's there and then look ahead again, to then bump into someone.

"Are you alright?" They ask and straight away I recognise their voice.

"I'm fine." I state, looking down at the floor trying not to make eye contact with them.

"Kyra," He says my name softly, I know its an indication to look at him so I do. Into his green forest eyes. "What's happened?"

"I-- I don't know to be honest," I shrug my shoulders, "Your brothers messed up to say the least," I say while giving a small smile to him.

"What has he done? Did he hurt you?" He quickly asks, his eyebrows knitted together on his brooding face. 

I reach my hand out and put in on his arm to make him calm down, " Stefan, he hasn't hurt me. It's just, I think he's hurt Caroline and Elena thinks this too. She broke down at the party in front of me but didn't tell me why. Then Damon, kind of threatened me and tried to make me speak about what I was doing, grabbing my arm in while he was having his tantrum." I explained, concern spread over Stefan's face quickly.

"If he hurts you or your friends, tell me straight away. You understand, Kyra?" He tells me while looking at me in the eyes.

"Yeah, I understand. I just don't get how he can be so cruel and have no regret. And I don't get how you two are related in any form when your, well, you. And I don't get what he's done to Caroline and I just don't get any of it." Words come out of my mouth so quickly I don't even know if he was able to understand and yet the words wouldn't stop.

"Kyra, listen. Promise me that you'll stay away from Damon." Stefan says seriously, taking my hand in his, making me look down at our hands for a second then look back at his eyes.

I smile at him, while using my thumb to rub across the back of his hand in reassurance.

"I promise."
