Alina Gilbert lived an entirely normal life up until the day her parents died. Not only did she have to deal with the pain of loosing both of her parents, she also discovered that she was a witch. Ever since the night of the accident Alina began to...
"Why did they let us go?" I asked Stefan as me, him, and Elena sat in the parlor. "I don't know but whatever John told Isobel we have to presume Klaus knows. So he knows that neither of you are going to turn in to vampires. He knows that he has us keeping you both safe." Stefan said. "He knows we're not going to run." I finished. "Which is why we need to take some precautions." Damon said as he strolled in to the room a booklet in his hands. "Because we got played. All of us." He stated as he dumped the booklet on the coffee table in front of Elena and I. "What's this?" She asked curiously. "The deed to our house." Stefan answered. "It's in Zach's name but as soon as you both sign it it'll be in your name." Stefan said clearly. "You're giving us your house?" I questioned skeptically. "Isobel had the right idea with the safe house but you'll just stay here till it's all over. That way you can control who gets invited in and who doesn't." Damon explained. "Although I'll be super pissed if you lock me out." Damon stated so I just smirked at him. There was a loud gasp and John sat up gasping in the middle of the floor. Damon blurred over to him and picked him up by the collar. "I swear, I didn't know what she was going to do." He blurted. "I'm sorry." He looked over at Elena and I. "I'm so sorry." He repeated. "Damon let him go." I ordered, he looked over at me as though I was crazy but let go of him anyway. "Elena, him and I need to talk." Stefan and Damon nodded I understanding as they left the room leaving the three of us alone. I went and sat down on the couch next to Elena and John sat on the one opposite us. "I always knew her and Katherine were close I just didn't realize that they were working against me. Two of the words most uncaring and selfish vampires and yet they were genuinely friends." John said in astonishment. "If that's what you thought of her then why did you put your trust in her at all?" I asked confused. I didn't think he was that dumb. "Because I was there when she gave birth to you two. I saw how heartbroken she was to give you up and because she was the first girl I ever loved." He answered honestly. "And when she said she wanted to help keep the both of you safe, I believed her. At this point," He whispered. "I will do anything you want me to do. If you'll feel safer with me not around then I'll go." Elena and I locked eyes and we both shared the same look before turning back to John. He nodded sadly and stood up. "You screw up everything John." Elena stated. "Everything you touch it falls apart." I added and Elena sighed. "But you're the only parent we have left." "So maybe we can learn not to hate you." I finished. He nodded as a small smile spread across his face. "Okay, thank you."

"Please sign here and here." The middle aged man asked us as he pointed to the all the different spots on the page. Elena went first before handing the pen back over to me so I could sign. "So this place is all yours? They just gave it to you?" Bonnie asked skeptically. "For now." I replied as I scribble my name down. "As soul owners we're the only ones who can invite a certain type of person in. If you get what we mean?" Elena added. "So like your own personal safe house?" Bonnie asked. "That's the idea." I smiled Bonnie grimaced. "I wouldn't wanna clean it." We all burst out at that even the man gave a little chuckle before taking the papers from me. "It's all done." The man declared as he stood up from the table. Elena and I stood up with him and I opened the door for him. "Thank you Mr. Henry." Elena said as she shook his hand. He smiled at her before smiling at me as I shook his hand as well, then he left. Stefan and Damon appeared in the doorway then but stopped because of the invisible barrier surrounding the house. "Stefan would you like to come inside our house?" She asked smiling up at him. "I would love to." Stefan smiled back as he stepped over the threshold and strolled in to the house I stayed quiet so Damon rolled his eyes. "What are we twelve?" He asked sarcastically. "One of us is." I chuckled. He huffed in annoyance. "If I let you in do you promise to obey the owners of this house?" Elena asked. "No." He answered without hesitating. "Seriously Damon, my way. You promised. I call the shots, no lies and no secret agendas remember?" I reminded him and he greeted his teeth but sighed. "Yes Alina, sure." He whispered and smiled at him. "Then Damon, please wont you come in." In a blur I was wrapped in his arms and his mouth and against mine. I moaned against his mouth as his hand slipped down to cup my back side. Someone loudly clearing their throat broke us apart. Damon glared at Bonnie while I turned red in embarrassment. "Sorry," I muttered. Bonnie and Elena rolled their eyes as Bonnie handed Elena her jacket. "Wait where are you going?" Stefan questioned. "To school." Elena answered. "No, no, no." Damon objected. "We did not create a safe house so you can leave it." He argued. "Yeah guys Klaus is out there we know that." Stefan stated. "Right but where?" Elena asked. "No one knows. Look I really appreciate what you guys are trying to do and I'll be able to sleep at night knowing I'm safe but I'm not going to be a prisoner." Elena argued. Stefan and Damon shared a look but they didn't look convinced. "Don't worry I'm ready, if he shows his face I can take him." Bonnie assured. "The way I see it next to Bonnie is the safest place I can be." Elena stated as she turned to open the door. "Wait I'm coming." Stefan said and I walked towards the door but Damon grabbed my arm stopping me. "And where do you think you're going?" He asked. "To school." I replied. "Really?" He scoffed. "You're going to school? The girl who has done nothing but ditch since the day she came back." He mused. "Yup. I get bored when I trapped inside a house so I figured why not and Jenna's already mad about the whole Isobel thing so if she finds out that I lied about going school she will literally explode." I told him. "So you're really going to school and you're not lying to me?" He asked. "Yes." "Yes you're lying?" He tried to trick me. "No. Yes I'm going to school and yes I'm not lying." I answered annoyed. He sighed. "You better not be lying to me." He said with a furrowed brow. "I'm not." I said as I tiptoed and kissed his lips gently. "I'll see you later." I quickly walked out the house and into the car. "You're coming?" Elena blurted. "Yup." I replied smirking. "Why?" Bonnie asked. "I'm bored." I stated.
