""Ok look Damon. First, I am not going to be your rebound girl. Just because you couldn't get that other girl, doesn't mean you can try and fail miserably to flirt with me. I'm not anyone's rebound girl and I am especially not going to be a rebound girl for a player asshole like you" I say, then stand up, down my drink and walk out of Mystic Grill."

Three Days Later

Cassie's POV

For three days I had been in Mystic Falls. It was a small town but that was ok with me. I was use to small towns. I hadn’t spoken to many people but the girl, Elena, had become on of my few friends. She had two best friends, one named Bonnie, and the other named Caroline. I had become friends with both of them as well. Elena had a little brother named Jeremy. I thought he was cute, but we were just as friends because him and Bonnie were together.

When I had found this out, I had thought Bonnie was lucky. Jeremy seemed sweet, innocent and very caring. I had found out that the bartender was Elena’s ex-boyfriend. I had also met Caroline’s boyfriend, Tyler. He seemed to have some anger issues and was angered kind of easily, so I was careful on what to say. When I found out his father was gone, I apologized for his lost and he had said it was ok

I had seen Damon around, him always staring at me with a glint in his eyes but I ignored him. He kept trying to talk to me and whenever he did, I just ignored him and kept walking or doing what I was.

           Today, Jeremy and I are playing pool; or rather Jeremy was kicking my ass in pool, when he approached.

            “Hello Cassie. Hello Jeremy” Damon says, smirking at me, a drink in his hand.

            “What do you want Damon?” Jeremy asks, putting another one of his balls in the hole. The next one he misses and I cheer and line up as Damon answers.

            “I just wanted to see how Cassie was doing, seeing how she’s new to town and everything. So, how are you doing Cassie?” I ignore him, sinking a ball for once. I move onto the next ball and sink it as well. This keeps going with Damon staring at me until I am caught up with Jeremy.

            “Damon, are you just going to stand and stare at Cassie or are you going to leave?” Jeremy says, slight worry in his voice because we bet on who was going to win and it looked like a tie right now. Damon smirked.

            “Ok, fine. I’ll be on my way. See you later Cassie” Damon says then leaves. After he leaves I sink the rest of my balls without giving Jeremy another turn. I cheer and hold out my hand.

            “You owe me fifty bucks Jeremy” I say. Jeremy sighs put pulls out his wallet and hands me a twenty, two tens and two fives. I grin.

            “Thanks Jer” I say then put the money in my wallet. Then I say “You up for another round?”

Jeremy nods and says “You’re on” I grin.

We play several more games and in the end, I won most of them. Jeremy and I are walking home when he brings up the up-coming Ball.

"So Cassie?" Jeremy says.

"Yeah Jer?" I ask.

"You know this ball that's coming up?" Jeremy asks.

"Yeah. What about it? You want to ask me to it?" I say teasingly, but am curious as to if he does. He and Bonnie were having slight problems in their relationship but I didn't think it was so bad he'd ask me to the ball.

"Well kind of…You know Bonnie and I are having problems and I'm afraid to ask her for fear she will say no. So I was wondering if maybe you would like to go with me" Jeremy said. I am about to say just friends but he interrupts me before I can say it.

"We'd be going just as friends since technically I am still with Bonnie" I take a moment to think about it. One the one hand it would be a little awkward but on the other he needs my help and I want to be there for him. I mean, it's not like anyone else had asked me. Only Damon had and I was not going with him. I was still ignoring him because of the fact he though I could be his rebound girl. I was pissed at him for it. Jeremy knew because I had told him. I also told his sister, Elena, Caroline and Bonnie. I thought about it for another second then decided.

"Alright Jer, I'll go with you, but just as friends" I say. He smiled in relief.

"Thanks Cass" he says. I smile.

"Your welcome. So, what do you want to do now? Cause I'm kind of bored" I say. Jeremy thinks for a moment. Then he says "Let me show you something"

About five minutes later I am standing in front of what looks like an old church.

"Jer, where are we and what are we doing here?" I ask, looking at Jeremy, who is smiling.

"We are at the old church. It was said that back in 1864 that vampires were put in this church, and then the church was burned to the ground, and the vampires were killed. However, later on it was revealed that there was a secret tomb under the church that the vampires had been placed in" says Jeremy, excitement in his voice. I rolled my eyes, not really believing it.

"You don't really believe in that kind of stuff do you, Jer?" I ask him, looking at him. He frowns slightly.

"Yes I do. I believe in vampires and werewolves, witches, warlocks. Don't you?" he asks me.

"Well, no. I don't. Not really. I use to when I was a kid and I use to love vampires and always wanted to be one, but I guess I grew out of it. Guess it was a faze or something" I say, looking at the church but seeming as if I am far away. Jeremy nods.

"Ok. That's alright. Were still friends, right?" he asks me.

"Of course. I'm not going to stop being your friend because you believe in vampires and stuff like that. That would be mean and though I can be mean sometimes, I am not going to be that mean" I say. Jeremy nods and starts walking towards the church.

"Jeremy, where are you going?" I say to him.

"I'm going to show you the tomb, now come on" Jeremy says.

"Jeremy, get back here! Jeremy! Jeremy!" I call after him. He doesn't listen so I go after him. When I finally catch up with him, he is standing by these stairs. He starts to go down them and I grab his arm.

"Jeremy, stop! You might get hurt" I say. Jeremy rolls his eyes.

"I'm not going to get hurt. Now either let go of my arm and come with me, or I will pick you up, throw you over my shoulder, and carry you with me" Jeremy says, a grin on his face. I know he is serious, so I let go of his arm and walk closely behind him as he walks down the stairs and we are thrown into utter darkness.
