Season Four: Pictures of You

Rosalie sits on the couch, watching the Salvatore brothers pass a football over her. She plays with the ends of her hair. The heat from the fireplace brushes against her exposed legs.

"So how long has it been, eight, nine days?" Damon smirks, catching the football. He flings back over to his younger brother. Stefan grabs it and doesn't waste a second to toss it back.

"About eight or nine days" Stefan nods. Rosalie felt a pinch of worry move through her. They're talking about Elena Gilbert, the emotionless vampire. After they left Willoughby, they haven't seen her since. "I don't know. I lost count"

"We've lost count in which Elena Gilbert has not killed anyone. I say that's progress, brother" Damon grins. Rosalie frowns.

"That's not funny, Damon" She whispers. Damon rolls his eyes.

"Elena said an empty threat to you, Rosalie. You don't have to worry about getting killed" Damon shrugs. Rosalie shakes her head.

"I'm not talking about myself. I'm talking about her victims and how she'll be when her humanity is back on" Rosalie stands up from the couch, running her hair through her softly curled locks.

"She doesn't want the cure, Rosalie. She gonna start killing people if she knows we're still trying to get it for her" Damon truthfully speaks. Rosalie bites her bottom lip.

"We could always, uh, make her want it" Stefan suggests. Rosalie scrunches her eyebrows together.

"Yeah. How are you gonna make an emotionless vampire want anything?" Damon scoffs.

"Get her to flip her humanity switch" Stefan shrugs. Rosalie gazes up at her boyfriend.

"What could we do?" She murmurs.

"We could pull a Lexi, bombard her with emotions till one of them sticks?" Damon chucks the football at Stefan. Stefan catches it.

"Yeah, and if that doesn't work, then we go to plan B--lock her up and keep her sidelined until you and I figure out a plan C--" Rosalie catches Stefan's words. You and I. Meaning not her.

"I'm apart of this too, Stefan. I want to help Elena" Rosalie looks at him desperately.

"And you'll be right by her side to help her, once we get her humanity back on" Stefan smiles.

"Stefan" Rosalie huffs.

"You're not helping, Rosalie" Damon intergets. Rosalie shakes her head and exits the room.

Rosalie and Bonnie follow Caroline over to three panel body length mirror as she poses in a pink strapless prom dress. Rosalie and Bonnie were able to suppress their tears for another time, Bonnie explained everything to her and how she didn't remember anything that happened after being stabbed. Bonnie was currently talking about her dream about Jeremy.

"Usually, I'm at his grave, and...all of a sudden, he appears to me" Bonnie lowers her voice. Caroline gives a sympathetic look.

"Well, you never got to say goodbye, Bon" Caroline reminds her. Rosalie takes a deep breath. She felt awful for never visiting his grave, not that she's been given the opportunity yet. "You're grieving. That's normal" Caroline runs her hands down her dress.

"When I woke up, the couch was on fire" Bonnie says. Rosalie's eyes widen. She looks down at the ground. That's exactly what happened to Jeremy. "I don't know if it's because I was emotional in my dream or if Shane was right...Without his help, I'll lose control of my magic"
