"I was just emotional, and I know you have to do it but--"

"Miss me love?" I drop the phone and Klaus comes over and picks it up. "Elena is ignoring you? Hmm." He then crushes the screen in his hand. "I need your blood."

"What? Why? How did you--?"

"Elijah told me that you were linked to all of us, so I am unlinking us. Now will you give me your blood? Or will I have to take it?" He asks showing me his hybrid face. I hold my hand out and he cuts it open. He then pours my blood into a tube and leaves. The wound heals but I stand still. The phone is still working so I pick it up and hang up. I know Elena will freak out if she hears the voicemail, but I don't care.

"Klaus knows where I live." I whisper.

I get a text from Stiles saying to dress up for a party and meet at Derek's loft. I get into a tank top, a jacket and some jeans and get out of the house and drive to Derek's loft.

I get there and hear loud music playing. I walk up and see Isaac and Allison opening the door. I look in and see people dancing. "Derek can never know about this!" I say, and they both nod as we walk in. I go get a drink while Isaac and Allison go into the crowd. I start to drink a bunch, before I see a familiar face in the crowd.

I walk up to her and tap her shoulder. "Hey, didn't know you were coming." I say.

"Scott dragged me!" Kira yells.

"Wanna dance?"

"Sure!" I then drag her further into the crowd and we start to dance. Scott comes later and takes my new bestie away. I go back to drinking when I see Stiles leaving. I ignore it and keep drinking random drinks.

I eventually see Aidan run outside and come back carrying Lydia over to a heating vent. I run over, just in time to hear her say, "They came ou--out of the dark..."

"Lydia, it's ok, take my jacket." I say, taking off my jacket and wrapping it around her.

"What happened to your--?" She asks, looking at my wrists.

"Nothing, Lydia warm up."

I then hear Derek roar from outside. I leave Lydia with Aidan and look to see him flip the table over and yell, "GET OUT!" Everyone starts to leave. I go back to Lydia and put my jacket back on and hand her a blanket. Danny helps Lydia out of the room. I look around and notice five black figures, wearing masks.

They all turn towards Aidan, "Guys, they're all looking at me!" They all take one step forward. "Why are they all looking at me? Guys!" I go over and stand next to him, protectively. Scott, Derek and I all run up to the figures and attack them. I move towards the closest one to Aidan. He easily dodges my attacks and grabs my wrist to flip me. I roar out in pain as it twists my wrist and pushes me down. I start whimpering, holding my wrists.

Two of the figures hold Aidan as the other one grabs his head. I see a greenish-yellow light on Aidan's face as the figure leaves a burn on the side of his face. Then they all turn towards Scott. I run over and stand in front of him. "Scott, get Kira out now!" I say. He starts to move back, letting Kira see his fangs and eyes.

The sun then comes up and the figures disappear in the light. Ethan runs to his brother and I ask, "What the hell were those things?"

"I don't know." Derek says quietly.

"Your dad's 24 hours are up." Isaac says to Allison and leaves. I look over at Derek.

"Go home, all of you." He says. Everyone starts to leave but I stay.
