"Lost is a very strong word. The woman was Gilbertnapped!"

"Gilbertnapped?" I raise an eyebrow at the raven haired vampire who only sends me a smile of amusement.

"Kidnapping a Gilbert. I figure its so frequent it should have its own name." He shrugs making me roll my eyes. Stefan enters the room, slipping his phone into his pocket. He had just been calling Caroline and Tyler, trying to figure out some type of plan. My eyes linger to the rather large vintage mirror hanging from the wall.

"He really rocked my shit." I mutter, examining myself in the mirror as I ran my fingers across the purple bruises that were scattered around my neck and my busted lip.

"Cmon, Scar." Stefan says, pulling me away from the mirror to hold out his bloodied wrist.

"It makes me feel kinda bad ass though."

"Scarlett." Stefan sighs making my eyes flicker to Damon who had been resting on the couch with a glass of bourbon.

"She does look a little more bad ass than usual." He shrugs. A small grin spreads across my face.

"So what you're saying is, I usually look pretty bad ass?"

"That's not at all what i'm saying."

"Stop encouraging." Stefan snaps towards his brother, who holds his hands up in defense. He goes to bite his wrist again due to it already healing while we spoke.

"Guess you're right. Caroline would kill me if I tried to show up to the pageant looking like Rocky."

"Pageant?" Stefan looks to me in confusion. I roll my eyes, pulling his wrist to my mouth. Once I had enough I pull away in slight disgust. I wipe the blood from my lips.

"Miss Mystic Falls." I say with a small shrug.

"I didn't even know you signed up."

"It was awhile ago." I say going to walk towards Damon to take a seat as well. Stefan shakes his head at my movement.

"We have to go." He says, grabbing my hand.

"Where are we going?"

"To get your sister."

≈

"Scarlett?"

"Hi Klaus, definitely did not expect to see you here..." I slide into the seat beside the familiar hybrid. Seriously why was I always on distract Klaus duty. Whatever we had going on was confusing enough as it is.

"What a treat." A small smirk spreads on his face as he signals for the bartender to bring him two more drinks.

"I want you to give my sister back."

"Ah, they sent you to sweet talk me. Well, good form, but I'm afraid I can't do it." He says making a small sigh escape my lips.

"Why not?"

"Look, I'm not gonna burden you with the gory details. I've been wanting to speak to you anyways, after all you've been avoiding me." I cough slightly as I look at the man.

"Me avoiding you? Did you forget about the whole 'I'm leaving town I'll never see you again after we hookup luv." He shoots me a playful glare as I mock his accent. The bartender slides us each a glass of what I'm guessing is bourbon. Just the thought of drinking made me feel nauseated. I only run my finger around the cool rim absentmindedly.

"Isn't that what you wanted?" I look to my drink to avoid his gaze for a moment.

"I guess so, if it was what you wanted."

"Is that your funny little way of admitting you didn't want me to leave?" I gulp slightly, feeling heat rise to my cheeks. He speaks as if he can see right through me which he probably can.

"It doesn't matter, does it?" Here I was, supposed to be distracting him so Stefan could break my sister out. Even when I have the upper hand he makes me flustered.

"I would've stayed if you asked." He says, his cocky tone disappearing as he does. My eyes snap to his.

"Really?"

"You don't really think I came back to this town to protect Tyler Lockwood, do you?" He says. I look back down at my drink.

"Guess I never know how you feel." I say, looking back to him momentarily. "You know, if you even have emotions." I add making him shoot me a small smile. Just as he begins leaning closer my phone dings. I pull it out and read the messages from Stefan.

Bunny Mucher🐰✨
i lost your sister.

i need a vampire to kill, ill turn someone if i have to.

Get an answer.

I look back up to Klaus with a somewhat innocent smile. He raises a brow suspiciously. Guess this would cut off our deep little chat.

"So, here's the thing, I didn't just come here to try to get you to release Elena." I say.

"You don't say."

"I came here to distract you so that Stefan could go to your house and break her out, which he did. And, don't get mad, but then he lost her." I trail off. His eyes suddenly darken and his playful mood vanishes.  He abruptly stands from his seat in anger. I quickly follow after.

"Klaus." He turns to me.

Before he can speak I talk again- all in on breath.

"They figured out how to stop the hallucinations."

≈

"What do you think they're talking about?" I whisper to Jeremy who had been standing beside me near the window. We both peaked as Stefan and Elena were sat on the stairs if the porch talking.

"Probably the cure."

"No way, seems to serious." I mumble.

"Stefan I love your abs, kiss me!" Jeremy's voice goes high pitch as he attempts to mock our sister. "Yes Elena, I will kiss you as long as you stay away from my evil brother Damien!" He lowers his voice to sound like Stefan, which causes laughs to erupt from my lips. Jeremy shushes me, while trying not to laugh himself.

When both of them snap their eyes towards the window we were occupying, we quickly duck and back away from it. Forgot about the whole super hearing. I always forget about that.

"You want a sandwich while we wait for them to finish up?" Jeremy asks, standing to walk in the kitchen.

"Yep." I say, standing up as well only to plop onto the couch. My mind wanders, as it always does, to the words Klaus spoke to me only hours ago. Maybe they weren't much but something in me feels like it was something more, coming from him.

After Damon, Stefan and Bonnie figured out what they had to do they saved Elena and cured the curse. Jeremy had to kill someone- which scares me but it was the only choice they really had I guess.

Klaus wasn't so angry with me after all, once I explained they had come up with a solution. So I guess that was good. He took me home whilst Jeremy, Stefan and him handled the whole killing a vampire thing- which I gladly wanted no part in. So I guess that was considerate.

Tomorrow was the Miss Mystic Falls pageant and Caroline was already on my back about it. She's stressing me out about picking an escort. I still haven't even asked anyone. Sadly.

Before I can finish my thoughts, Elena comes inside and closes the door behind her. Shes beside me on the couch within a second. Her face was solemn. She was in a bad mood.

"What's wrong?"

"We broke up."
