Another Witch - The Vampire Diaries

5- Kill Or Be Killed.

Addison stood amongst the crowd at Mystic Falls Public Park, watching as Carol Lockwood gave a speech as its the Mystic Falls Historical Society Volunteer Day.

"This all part of the historical society, continuing efforts to give that to the community." Carol says. "Thanks to the generous donation of the Fell family. We are now standing on the sight of our newest public park. Thank you to everyone who has shown up today to land a helping hand. Thanks."

Addison looks around at all of the people before walking away to find Caroline, or someone she knew.

Addison stood talking with Elena and Caroline.

"So suddenly, she's on the running for mother of the year just when I'm trying to avoid her the most." Caroline says, noticing that Addison wasn't paying much attention and Elena probably didn't want to hear her rant about Liz. "I'm babbling, you don't want to hear all this."

"No, we're sorry." Addison says, bringing her attention back to the blonde vampire. "Then what happened?" She asks. 

"Well, I was a bitch but it's part of the process. So, how are things between you and Stefan? Anything?" Caroline asks Elena. 

"No, not since the fight. He's been pushing me away because he thinks that Katherine might get jealous enough to hurt me. I just don't know how to change his mind." Elena says to the two. Addison gives her friend a small, sad smile. 

"You said that Katherine's dangerous. Maybe he's got a point." Caroline tells her. 

"Yeah, I know that she's dangerous and I know that he's just trying to protect me but it feels like giving up and I just..." Elena trails off. 

"Just what?" Caroline and Addison both ask in unison. 

"I just thought we were stronger than that." Elena tells them.

Elena is painting a wall with Addison. The doppelganger looks at Stefan as he looks at her. Caroline and Addison are looking at them.

"Oh, oh. Lurking looks are being exchanged." Caroline says. 

"I'm gonna go talk to him." Elena says, putting down the paintbrush.

"Not a good idea." Addison says.

"No, Elena. I think Addy's right, it's a bad idea." Caroline says but Elena ignores the two and leaves, right as Damon joins Addison and Caroline.

"What's her problem?" Damon asks Caroline and Addison. 

"Don't worry about it." Addison answers. 

"Why are you being such a bitch to your mom?" Damon asks Caroline. 

"Don't worry about it." Caroline repeats Addison's words to the older vampire. 

Addison watches along with Damon and Caroline as Elena joins Stefan. Addison quickly whispers a spell her aunt taught her, and she was able to hear Stefan and Elena's conversation as she knew Caroline and Damon were both listening as well.

"Do you still care about Katherine?"  Elena asks Stefan. 

"Don't be like this. Please don't turn this into something that it's not." Stefan says to her.

"So this is not for discussion. That's what you're saying?" Elena asks.

"No, I'm saying that is enough for discussion right now because we have ears on us." Stefan tells the doppelganger. They look at Addison, Damon and Caroline. They three pretend that they're not listening, but still continue too.
