Chapter 1 - "Well, no, not really."

The whole of the summer, Mariposa was comatose and laying in one of the guest bedrooms in the Salvatore boarding house. Mariposa had been unconscious the entire summer, where Damon and Elena promised to look after her, while Chris and Thalia looked for ways to force her back to consciousness, without harming her too much.

Silas met up with Jehovah. "So?" Jehovah questioned him. "Have you found them? Are they close?"

"Mariposa is currently laying comatose in a bedroom at the Salvatore's." Silas informed the man of the woman. "And Katherine is staying at the Salvatore's as well, so let's go get them both. I'm pretty sure that Jeremy kid knows it's me, being part of the five and all."

"Well, let's go." Jehovah said as he stepped on the accelerator to his car, and the car sped down the road and they headed for the Salvatore house.

Mariposa twitched her fingers slightly as Jehovah entered the room, and his eyes landed on her, and he cut the distance between them both. He pushed some of her dark hair out of her face and pulled the covers off of her, and picked her up bridal style. However, the sudden movement caused her to react, and her eyes slowly fluttered open.

Mariposa looked up at the person who was currently carrying her, and her eyes adjusted for her to see Jehovah carrying her. "Jehovah?" She asked in confusion as she tilted her head to the side slightly, causing the man to drop her to the floor with a thud in surprise. "Ouch! Why'd you drop me for?" She stood up, but as soon as she was upright, she fell for the floor and Jehovah caught her quickly.

"Mariposa?" He asked with a grin on his face. "Oh, my god! You're alive."

"Well, no, not really." She told him with furrowed brows. "I mean, I am dead."

"No, I mean, you're awake and not in a coma any more." Jehovah pulled her into a tight hug, which she return a little confused. "We all thought you had died because of what Alexander did." Jehovah then helped her up, and helped her walk.

"Alexander?" She asked in confusion. "Who the hell is- ohhhh, right." Mariposa realised all of a sudden. "The hunter from the brotherhood of the five. That makes sense now." She said as she saw Elena run down the steps in just a dressing gown as they left her temporary room.

Then Stefan came from where Elena did, then he noticed her. "You woke her?" Stefan asked Jehovah. "Brilliant." But then nothing made sense, why would Stefan willingly talk to Jehovah. That's when she realised who it was.

"Silas?" She asked in confusion as Silas walked down the stairs after Elena, but Mariposa was pretty sure it was Katherine now that no one was who they seemed to be, and Jehovah helped her down the stairs.

"God, you're slow." Damon told Silas as they reached the bottom of the steps. "I guess vamp speed came with the upgrade." Damon's eyes landed on Mariposa. "Marie, you're awake. Happy that you're awake, not happy that you're with the two immortal psychos right now."

"Get out of my way and give me Katherine." Silas told Damon.

"First, drop the Stefan look." Damon commanded the immortal. Silas and Jehovah just laughed at the Salvatore, while Mariposa looked around a little confused at everything at this moment. "What?" Damon questioned them.

"Okay, I'm just, really confused right now." Mariposa informed them all, making all of them look at her sympathetically, of kinds. "Like, what is even going on right now? How is Silas and Jehovah standing before us when Bonnie-?" She began to say but the truth about Bonnie came rushing back at her. "Bonnie." She whispered. 

"She's off travelling the world, Marie." Damon told her, and Mariposa realised she must be keeping it a secret, so she kept her mouth shut.
