"Hey you two. Oh, you look nice." elena tells bonnie and hugs her.

"You too." bonnie tells her. "hey where's layla" elena asks. "right here sissy" i tell her from behind her. she spins around and hugs me. "we match" she squeals. "like real twins" i say shyly. she smiles. "You guys ready to do this?" stefan asks. i nod shyly but am really scared there is just something about alaric thats bothering me.

"Thanks for being here, everybody. We have a special shout-out tonight" dana says into the microphone. we all stop in front of the stage, "This is for Elena and layla. From Klaus" she read and a slow song starts playing. im in shock while layla whimpers. "That was a lame, cheap shot. He's just trying to bait us" damon says. "I know everyone here." layla whimpers. "Maybe he's not here. Just wants us to believe that he is" stefan assures us both. "It's a party, people. Blend. Let him come to us" damon says, "Good idea" bonnie says and takes jeremys arm. "No, no, I really don't feel like dancing" jeremy says. "too bad" bonnie tells him and drags him to the dance floor.

"There's Ric. I'll be back" damon says and takes laylas hand and goes towards me. layla tries stopping him but he ignores her and keeps dragging her with him. i get a little angry and don't know why "Special dedication, huh? This guy's a little twisted, and you look lovely tonight layla" i tell her. she shies behind damon and i have a feeling she knows i'm not alaric. "I'm not impressed" damon says looking around his waist at layla who peeks out from behind him and looks at me warily. "No?" i ask.

"Let me know if you see anything out of whack" he tells me and leave without layla leaving her just standing there tense. "layla" i say and she jumps but looks at me. gosh she's beautiful. "y-yes" she stutters. "can we talk alone in the hallway" i ask her. she nods shakily and i lead her out into the hallway. walking aways down i stop and turn to her. she looks around. "layla" i say softly. she flinches and my face softens.

"do you know who i am" i ask her. she takes a shaky breath "no but i know you're not alaric" she mumbles not meeting my eyes. i sigh "and you haven't told anyone" i ask her. she shakes her head starting to breath heavy. "hey, hey, hey i wont hurt you" i tell her. she looks at me thru her eyelashes. she flinches again as i take a hold of her chin and move her head so i can gaze into her sparkling emerald eyes "now you won't tell anyone right" i ask her. she holds her finger to her lips and shakes her head. i smile "wonderful" i say.

~back with elena~

"Caroline's here. They don't know what's going on. We have to tell her" i say worried. "I'm on it" stefan says then looks at Damon and leaves. Damon takes me and we dance. "How you doing? " he asks. "Um, freaking out a bit. You?" i ask him "Cool as a cucumber. Come on, remember the last decade dance? The vampires were all, "ahh!" And you were all, "aahh!"he says. "Right. And you won" i tell him. "Yes! We did." he says and i roll my eyes. he shows me some moves "You're good at this" i tell him. "I've got moves you've never seen" he says cockily. i laugh.

(Bonnie and Jeremy are dancing. Damon rejoins them)

damon pov

"May I?" i ask. Jeremy looks at me and leaves. i dance with Bonnie "You heard Jeremy and me talking, didn't you?" she accuses me. "Is it true?" i ask her. "Yes" she says. "The part about you having a 50-50 shot of surviving? Is that true?" i ask. "He was upset. I didn't want him to worry" she tells me "So you lay it out on the line for Elena, no matter what." i say, "No matter what" she agrees, "Good" i tell her and twist her around. "You can't tell her." she tells me worried. "Your secret's safe with me, but I mean... With all that power, is there no way to increase your odds?" i ask her, "Careful, Damon. I might start to think you actually care." she says mockingly, i smirk "We wouldn't want that." i tell her.
