Silver Linings: Awakening {A TVD Fanfic trilogy}

10

The days went by and nothing extraordinary happened for me, per usual. Of course Elena and Damon apparently got snatched by the creepy mystery teacher, and Elena ended up being tortured. She didn't seem phased by it really and I could tell she was okay about it which I was happy about.

On greater news, Katherine was almost dead. The girl who literally ruined almost everything was almost gone.

I heard Matt, Jeremy, and Damon drinking to ways Katherine screwed them over.

"You think you have it bad?" I asked as I stepped over the back of the couch and sat between Matt and Damon. "If she never came into town my mom would have raised me, Klaus wouldn't have came into town, My dad and Elena would both be alive and human, and I wouldn't have ever gotten kidnapped." I spoke looking at them as I took two shots one after the other.

"Damn. I'd say you won, but-" Jeremy started as I got up and ruffled his hair.

"Jerk." We both laughed and we both grabbed another shot.

"Seriously?" Elena asked as she walked in with Bonnie and Caroline. I downed the shot in hand.

"Elena we were just-" Matt started not sure how to finish.

"I know what you were doing. You're cut off." Elena told Jeremy as I took his shot.

He sighed lightly as I downed it. Elena looked at us and sighed as she grabbed a shot. "If anyone is drinking to Katherine's last days, it's going to be me." Elena took her shot. "She impersonated me...repeatedly." She took another shot. "Made Aunt Jenna stab herself in the stomach and she cut off Uncle John's fingers."

"He might have deserved that." Jeremy replied and Elena and I nodded in agreement.

"My Grams died trying to close a tomb she wasn't in." Bonnie spoke.

"Tyler's werewolf curse got triggered because of her." Caroline added.

"Bitch." I shook my head.

"Klaus followed her to Mystic Falls and because of that, we lost Jenna." Elena added.

"And Alaric." Jeremy added as I nodded.

"Group shot." I took a deep breath before I grabbed a shot and downed it squinting lightly at the taste.

"We're going to need more booze." Matt grinned a bit tipsy. He got up to go get some.

"She tried to kill me at least twice." Elena kept talking.

"She did kill me...Although I'm weirdly better off." Caroline added and we laughed lightly.

"How about that? Something good." I added as everyone laughed a bit.

"Rumor has it, she burnt down the entire city of Atlanta once." Damon spoke.

"An entire population?" I asked surprised.

"That might win." Jeremy nodded as he looked at Damon surprised.

"All right. Knock it off or take it somewhere else. You guys are being insensitive." Stefan came downstairs. What a party pooper.

"Come on, Stefan. Don't let the sight of a frail, human Elena-look-alike cloud your memories of the manipulative psycho that she is." Damon convinced him to join.

"In 1864, Katherine moved into my home, she compelled me to love her, seduced my brother, fed us full of vampire blood and then started a war with the town that got us killed." Stefan spoke and Damon smiled handing Stefan a shot.
