I wake up to Kol laying beside me and Finn looking out my window. They can touch things and each other but not me. I smile when Finn looks over at me from his place looking out the window. "Good morning, ástin." Finn said walking over to the bed and sitting down in front of me. "Good morning. I remember everything that you both told me." I say sitting and leaning against my headboard. "Everything?" Kol asked "Everything from your brothers being Klaus and Elijah, the curse on Klaus and my sister is the one being used for it, and your family." I say "That's amazing Darling. I was worried we were gonna have to tell you again." Kol said "I'm so glad you don't because that was a lot of information for thirteen year old me." I say smiling and they laugh. "Yeah, I bet so. Having two random people pop up one day that no one else can see and telling you that they're vampires would be quite a shock." Finn said

After getting ready I walk out of my room and meet Auntie J and Elena in the hallway. "Do I look adult? As in respectfully parental?" Jenna asked "Depends where you're going." Elena said "Jeremy's parent-teacher conference. Hair up or down?" Jenna asked and put her hair up. "Sexy stewardess." Elena said and Jenna puts her hair down. "Boozy housewife." I say "Up it is. You two are feisty today." Jenna said "I feel good, which is rare. So I've decided to go with it. Fly free, walk on sunshine, and all that stuff." Elena said "I just feel like today will be a good day for some reason. Where is Jeremy?" I ask "He left early. Something about getting to wood shop early to finish a birdhouse." Elena and I give her a weird look. "There is no wood shop, is there?" Jenna asked "No." Elena and I say in sync. "Yeah." Jenna said and Elena walks away. "Will you meet me for Jeremy's parent teacher conference please?" Jenna asked "Yeah of course Auntie J." I say

"Originally discovered nearly 5 centuries ago, it hasn't been over Mystic Falls in over 145 years. Now, the comet will be its brightest right after dusk during tomorrow's celebration." Elena and Stefan keep staring at each other. "Are we bothering you, Mr. Salvatore? Ms. Gilbert?" Tanner asked making me scoff quietly. "Calm down, Darling. Everything will work out soon and if not then if we are ever reunited then we can kick his ass for you." Kol said from the front of the room. I bite my lip to stop myself from laughing.

I meet up with Care and Bonnie. "I'm confused. Are you psychic or clairvoyant?" Care asked "Technically, Grams says I'm a witch. My ancestors were these really cool Salem witch chicks or something. Grams tried to explain it all, but she was looped on the liquor so I kinda tuned out. Crazy family, yes. Witches? I don't think so." Bonnie said "She couldn't be more wrong. The Bennetts are one of the most powerful magical family I've ever came across." Kol said "Yeah, well, feel free to conjure up the name and number of that guy from last night." Care said "I didn't see him, you did. Why didn't you just talk to him?" Bonnie asked "I don't know. I was drunk." Care said and we laugh. "Care we should do a ice cream and movie night. Bonnie you of course are invited." I look at my phone and see it's time for me to meet Auntie J in Tanners classroom. "Well, girls I have got to go meet Auntie J to go deal with Mr. Jackass oops I mean Tanner." I say before walking away.

I walk towards Tanners classroom and I see Auntie J outside his room. She sees me and smiles. "Ready to get this over with Mr. Jackass?" I ask and she laughs before we walk in. "As Jeremy's teacher, I'm concerned. All right? It's the third day of school and he's skipped six of his classes." Tanner said "Mr. Tanner, are you aware that Jeremy, Olivia, and Elena's parents died?" Auntie J asked "Four months ago, a great loss. Car accident. Wickery bridge, if I remember correctly. And you're related to the family how? The, uh, mother's kid sister?" Tanner asked "Younger sister." Auntie J said "Right." Tanner said "Yes. Six classes? Are you sure? I mean, that's kind of hard to do." Auntie J said "Not when you're on drugs. I recognize the behavior from Olivia." Tanner said and I glare at him for the mention of my past. "We should kill him when we're in our physical bodies again." Kol said from behind me. "I agree. We have plenty of time to plan the best way." Finn said and my eyes go slightly wide because Finn is the more level headed of the two. "It's his attempt at coping, Ms. Summers. And the signs are there. He's moody, withdrawn, argumentative, hungover. Are there any other relatives in the picture?" Tanner asked "I'm their sole guardian." Auntie J said "Uh-huh. Could there be?" Tanner asked and I lean up towards him. "What are you suggesting, exactly?" I ask "It's an impossible job, isn't it, raising three teens?" Tanner asked "It's been tough, but, no, it's not." Auntie J said "Wrong answer. It is an extremely impossible job, and anything less and you're not doing it properly." Tanner said making me glare at him.

"Jenna is doing an amazing job taking care of all three of us. You don't know anything about what we've been through. So don't even pretend to know what we've been through." I say and I feel the veins starting to come out so I quickly look over at Auntie J. "Darling get out of here." Kol said and I nod slightly. Auntie J grabs my arm and drags me out of the room and to the bathroom closest to Tanners room where she locks the door after checking to see if anyone was in it. "Calm down Liv." Auntie J said as my full vampire faces shows so I turn away from her. "I haven't gained complete control over it Auntie J." I calm myself down enough so the veins and my eyes disappear so I turn around but I still hear her blood pumping. "I'm going to stay in here until I completely calm down. I'll be fine." I say and she nods walking out locking the door before she shuts it. I slide down to the floor trying to ignore all the heartbeats I can hear. Finn and Kol kneel down in front of me. "Look at us ástin mín." I look up at them. "There we go. Focus on us." Finn said and I feel myself completely calm down. "I'm good. I'm fine." I say

I walk into the Boarding House. "Damon, where are you?" I ask and he vamp speeds to stand in front of me. "What's up?" Damon asked "I had a bad day today and all I want to do is watch Criminal Minds, eat ice cream and drink blood bags. You in?" I ask "As long as I can drink bourbon too." Damon said "I wasn't going to stop you." I say and I go get the ice cream out of their freezer that I left here for times like this. Damon comes back with the blood bags. I press play as soon as he sits down handing me my blood bag and I hand him his tub of ice cream. Kol sits down beside me and Finn sits down on the other side of him watching the show with us.

Not long into our second episode of Criminal Minds the door suddenly opens. Damon paused the show and disappears. Elena walks in. "Stefan? Stefan?" Elena asked and Damon suddenly appears in front of her. "I... I'm sorry for barging in. The door was..." She turns to look at the door which was now shut. "Open." Elena said "You must be Elena. I'm Damon, Stefan's brother." Damon said "He didn't tell me he had a brother." Elena said "No he said none that he talked to." I say making myself known. "Well, Stefan's not one to brag. Please, come. I'm sure Stefan will be along any second." Damon said "Wow. This is your living room?" Elena asked when they walk in the room I'm in.  "Living room, parlor, Sotheby's auction. It's a little kitschy for my taste. I see why my brother's so smitten. It's about time. For a while there, I never thought he'd get over the last one. Nearly destroyed him." Damon said "Damon we don't need to get into her right now." I say "The last one?" Elena asked and she looked at me in question. "Oh this is going to get interesting." Kol said smirking.

"Yeah. Katherine, his girlfriend? Oh, you two haven't had the awkward exes conversation yet." Damon said "Oh, Katerina. I remember the mentioning of her." Finn said  "Nope." Elena said "Oops. Well, I'm sure it'll come up now. Or maybe he didn't want to tell you because he didn't want you to think he was on the rebound. We all know how those relationships end." Damon said "You say it like every relationship is doomed to end." Elena said "Because they are." I say "That's rude." Kol said "She doesn't mean us brother." Finn said  "I'm a fatalist." I sense Stefan come into the house. "Hello, Stefan." Damon said "Elena. I didn't know you were coming over." Stefan said and he glances my way. "I know. I should have called, I just..." Elena said before Damon cut her off. "Oh, don't be silly. You're welcome any time. Isn't she, Stefan? You know, I should break out the family photo albums or some home movies. But... I have to warn you. He wasn't always such a looker." Damon said "Thank you for stopping by, Elena. Nice to see you." Stefan said "Yeah, I should probably go. It was nice to meet you, Damon." Elena said "Great meeting you, too, Elena." Damon said and Elena turns to leave but Stefan is standing in front of the door staring at Damon. "Stefan? Stefan?" Elena asked and he finally moves so she leaves.

"Great gal. Whoo. She's got spunk. You, on the other hand, look pooped. Did you over-exert yourself today? Let me guess... hospital." Damon said "Someone had to clean up your mess." Stefan said "Well, were you successful? Did the powers of persuasion work? Remember, if you don't feed properly, none of those little tricks work right." Damon said "How long was Elena here?" Stefan asked looking from me to Damon. "Were you worried, Stefan? Scared we may be doomed to repeat the past? Isn't that why you play your little game, "I'm a high school human"?" Damon asked "She wasn't here long." I say trying to calm the brother rivalry down some. "These two fight like you and Niklaus." Finn said glancing at Kol. "Maybe but Nik and I do it better." Kol said "I'm not playing any game." Stefan said "Of course you are. We both know the closest you'll ever get to humanity is when you rip it open and feed on it." Damon said "What kind of game are you playing... Damon?" Stefan asked "Guess you'll just have to wait and see, won't you?" Damon asked "I'm going to head home so I'll see you both later." I say and leave.

I walk into the house and see Elena and Jenna at the island. "He's on the rebound and has raging family issues." Elena said "Well, at least it's an ex-girlfriend. Wait till you date a guy with mommy issues or cheating issues. Or amphetamine issues." Jermey walks in. "Jeremy? Jeremy, where were you?" Jenna asked "More stoner stories? Look, Jenna, I get it, you were cool. And so that's... that's cool." Jeremy said and he walks up the stairs. "Oh, no, no, no!" Jenna exclaimed throwing an apple at Jer hitting him. "Ow! Why? Why... why did you do that?" Jer asked "Listen up! Quit ditching class or you're grounded. No discussion." Jenna said "Parental authority, I like it. Sleep tight." Jeremy said and he walks up the stairs.

I was in the Grill eating cheese fries while Kol and Finn are out exploring Mystic Falls some more when I see Jer walk up to Vicki. "Vicki, what are you doing here?" Jer asked "Fighting with Robert about my schedule. You'd think getting ripped up by a rabid animal would merit an extra sick day." Vicki said "Are you feeling ok?" Jer asked "I hurt." Vicki said "Well, the doctor gave you something, right?" Jer asked "The kid stuff. Nothing with an "o" in it. I think they were onto me." Vicki said "Here. Knock yourself out, literally." Jer said "Thanks, Jer." Vicki said and I rolled my eyes. "So you gonna, uh, watch the comet later?" Jer asked "I hadn't really thought about it. But I could be talked into it. I'll meet you out there in a few." Vicki said and Tyler walks up. "Hey, Vick. How you feeling?" Tyler asked "Like you care." Vicki said and walked away.

-time skip-

Elena, Matt, Care, Tyler, Bonnie and I are sitting in a group when Jer walked up to us. "Hey, has anyone seen Vicki?" Jer asked "You're her stalker. You tell us." Tyler said "I can't find her." Jer said "She probably found somebody else to party with. Sorry, pill pusher, I guess you've been replaced." Tyler said causing me to roll my eyes knowing where this is going. "Good job Tyler." I say "Why is it that my family is a thousand years old yet we didn't have this much family drama." Kol said when he and Finn appear next to me again. "Why are you lying to yourself Kol, you know with Niklaus and our father, we most definitely have this much family drama." Finn said "What's with the pill pusher?" Elena asked "Ask him." Tyler said "You wanna do this right now?" Jer asked "Are you dealing?" Elena asked "She's never gonna go for you." Tyler said causing me to laugh. "She already did. Over and over and over again." Jer said "Yeah, right." Tyler said "You slept with Vicki Donovan? I mean, Vicki Donovan slept with you?" Caroline asked "There's no way." Tyler said "And I didn't even have to force her into it." Jer said making me look away trying not to laugh. "Oh damn." Kol said looking between everyone enjoying the show.

"What the hell is he talking about, Ty?" Matt asked "Nothing, man, just ignore him, he's a punk." Tyler said "You know what, how about all of you shut up and help me find my sister?" Matt asked "We'll check the back." Bonnie said "I'll check the square." Matt said "I'll come with you." Jer said "Oh, no, no, no. You are coming with me. So that's your game now, dealing?" Elena asked "I'm not dealing." Jer said "Look, I'm sick of the tough love speech, Jer. It's really having no impact." Elena said "You and Jenna, between the two of you... At least Liv doesn't judge me or try and tell me what to do." Jer said and I face palm since he brought me into it. "We can stop if you want. Send you to a therapist where you'll be forced to deal with it or to rehab where you'll sit in group and tell some stranger how you let your life fall apart like we did with Liv. Or you could talk to me." Elena said "I vote for none of the above." Jer said "I would too. Low blow Elena bringing my time in rehab up. I'm gonna go with Matt." I say walking away. "If Nik wasn't going to be killing her, I'd do it myself when I get my body back." Kol said and I scoff laughing. "And I would let you too." I say quietly as I walk up to Matt and Stefan.

"Hey." Matt said "Hey." Stefan said "Have you seen my sister?" Matt asked "No, sorry." Stefan said "I can't find her. She's missing." Matt said "I'll keep an eye out for her." Stefan said "Hey. I saw you at the hospital yesterday." Matt said "Did you?" Stefan asked "What were you doing there?" Matt asked "Are humans that stupid?" Kol asked and I laugh before quickly covering it up with a cough. "Visiting." Stefan said "Visiting? You know, Elena and I, we've known each other for a long time. We might not be together right now, but I look out for her. And I'll always look out for her." Matt said "Excuse me." Stefan said and walks away. I follow him knowing he hears Damon and Vicki who I also hear and I see Damon and Vicki on the roof of a building. Stefan first jumps on the roof then I follow him jumping up there.

"No! No!" Vicki yelled "I gotta do it. I'm not gonna drop you." Damon noticed us on the roof top. "Not bad. Have you both been eating bunnies?" Damon asked "Let her go." I say "Shh. Really? Okay." Damon said and he almost drops her over the side of the building. "No! No, no, no!" Vicki yelled "Relax." Damon said "What's happening?" Vicki asked "I don't need her to be dead, but... you might. What attacked your the other night?" Damon asked "I don't know. An animal." Vicki said "Are you sure about that? Think. Think about it. Think really hard. What attacked you?" Damon asked "A vampire." Vicki said "Who did this to you?" Damon asked "You did!" Vicki  exclaimed "Wrong!" Damon said "Don't." Stefan said "Damon don't do this." I say "It was Stefan." Damon said "Don't." Stefan said "Come here. Stefan Salvatore did this to you." Damon said compelling her. "Stefan Salvatore did this to me." Vicki said "He's a vampire. A vicious, murderous monster." Damon said "Please, Damon. Please don't do this." Stefan begged "If you couldn't fix it before, I don't know what you can do now." Damon said "Aah!" Vicki yelled "Uhh! Your choice of lifestyle has made you weak. A couple of vampire parlor tricks is nothing compared to the power that you could have, that you now need. But you can change that. Human blood gives you that." Damon said

"No!" Vicki yelled "You have two choices. You can feed and make her forget. Or you can let her run, screaming "vampire" through the town square." Damon said "That's what this is about? You want to expose him?" I ask "No! I want him to remember who he is!" Damon exclaimed "Why? So what, so I'll feed? So I'll kill? So I'll remember what it's like to be brothers again? You know what, let her go. Let her tell everyone that vampires have returned to Mystic Falls. Let them chain me up, and let them drive a stake through my heart, because at least I'll be free of you." Stefan said "Huh. Huh. Wow. Come here, sweetheart." Damon said "No!" Vicki exclaimed "It's ok." Damon said and compelled her. "What happened? Where am I? Liv? Oh, I ripped my stitches open. Ah..." Vicki said "You ok?" Stefan asked "I took some pills, man. I'm good." Vicki said "It's good to be home. Think I might stay a while. This town could use a bit of a wake-up call, don't you think?" Damon asked "What are you up to, Damon?" Stefan asked "That's for me to know and for you to... dot dot dot. Give Elena my best." Damon said

"She said that you two found her wandering around." Matt said "Yeah." Stefan said "So, um, thanks." Matt said and I walk over to join Care and Bonnie. "Uhh, it's just so much drama. Ever notice how Vicki Donovan is the biggest attention whore?" Care asked "Yeah." Bonnie and I say in sync. "Excuse me. Hi." Stefan said walking up to us. "Stefanie." I say "Liv ready to go?" Stefan asked "Wait. Before you go." Bonnie quickly wrote something down on a napkin. "Elena said to give this to you before she left." Bonnie said and she handed him the napkin accidentally touching him and she zones out. "What happened to you? That's so rude. I'm sorry. Excuse me." Bonnie said "Yeah, she kind of wigs out. It's like her thing." Care said "Come on, Stef." I say and we walk away from them. He wraps his arm around my shoulder as we walk out the door. "Race back to mine?" Stef asked "When I win you buy me cheese fries and coffee for a week." I say "And when I win?" Stefan asked "I'll do animal diet for a week." I say and he smirks. "You're on. Count of three?" Stefan asked "1. 2. 3." I vamp speed away from him and towards the Boarding House.

I beat him to the front of the Boarding House by literally a second. Kol and Finn didn't follow us but decided to people watch. "Hah. I won. You get to buy me cheese fries and coffee for a week." I say smiling at him. "I do that anyways."  Stefan said as we walk to the porch. "And?" I ask laughing and then I stop looking down. "What?" Stefan asked "You gonna use it?" I ask "Use what?" Stefan asked "My sisters phone number." I say "I don't know. I haven't decided yet." Stefan said "Well before you decide just know, she's a lot more like Katherine then you think. Trust me, after living with her for 16 years you learn a lot about someone." I say
