Ashley arrived at the dance in a white shoulderless dress, smiling to see her classmates enjoying themselves until Elena approached her, "So how do I look?" She asked twirling around.

Ashley raised her eyebrows, "Are you kidding me? You look like a back-stabbing bi--" She stopped when she saw Stefan approaching them she faked smile at Elena continuing, "The dress is beautiful but it's not you color tho" She fake smiled.

Elena smiled, "Thanks, Ash but I believe it's my color at least that's what Damon said" Ashley was about to retort when Stefan interceded, "Ashley, why don't you come dance with me, hm?"

Ashley took Stefan's outstretched hand as they both moved together to the dance floor, leaving Elena looking rather smug, "I know you said to kill her with kindness, but can't I just kill her?" Ashley started

Stefan smiled gesturing at her dress with his head, "I see you found a dress?"

"It's from Klaus." Ashley answered awkwardly as Stefan raised his eyebrows in bewilderment, "Don't ask." She said shaking her head

"You know you have him wrapped around your little finger, right?"

"If I had Klaus wrapped around my finger, then Caroline would be here with Tyler right now." She sighed hoping to change the subject, "Are you making any progress with the dress thief?"

Stefan let out a breath, "I don't know. I think it's affecting me a lot more than it's affecting her."

"What do you mean?"

"Every time I tell myself that I'm moving on, there's this part of me that just can't seem to shake her."

"That's normal, Stefan. You guys were in love, and that doesn't go away just because you declare that you're moving on."

"Well, then how does anyone ever seem to move on? How are you moving on from Damon?"

"I don't know, Stefan. All I know is that I believe that someday, I'll meet someone new and I'll fall madly in love, and I'll have moved on without even realizing it, I like to hold onto that hope you should, too"

After a while the redhead went to the Mystic Grill hoping for a change in scenery she sat at the bar looking at her phone when suddenly someone that beside her, Ashley casted her eyes sideways noticing Hayley, "If it isn't the werewolf bitch who stabbed us all in the back" Ashley started.

"I don't have to tell you my reasons"

"Good, Cause I'm not interested in hearing them" Hayley rolled her eyes at the hybrid before noticing something she never noticed before s Cresent birth mark like the one on Hayley's shoulder was on the redhead's.

"Was this mark always on your shoulder?" Hayley asked with narrowed eyes.

Ashley raised her eyebrows in astonishment, "Creepy" She commented raising her eyebrows at the brunette, "I'm serious, Ashley"
