Eira went through most of the school day and it was all rather interesting to her. Stefan compelled the office lady to give Eira all the same classes that he had. Stefan was determined not to leave her side for a moment.

Many boys would start to walk up to Eira to talk to her, but as soon as they saw Stefan's glare, they walked in the other direction. Eira's status quickly became known that she was off limits and it also spread like wildfire that Eira was related to Stefan.

During, the time to go to the next class, Stefan and Eira walked up to Elena and Caroline. Caroline smiled at Eira,"Hey, Eira."

Eira smiled back,"Hey, Caroline."

"So, we're having a group date, tonight. You can come," Caroline invited.

"Date?" Eira questioned.

Stefan whispered to her,"Like courting."

Eira made oh shape with her mouth. She immediately shook her head,"I don't have a suitor, though."

Stefan and Elena chuckled at old-fashioned word. Caroline just put it off to thinking it was because of being a coma. "So, we'll get you a date."

Stefan chimed in,"No, no. She's not getting a date. No."

"Don't worry, Stef," Eira said softly then turned to Caroline. "I don't want to do the whole date thing. I don't like, like anybody."

"And why don't you 'like, like' anybody?" Caroline questioned.

"Uh," Eira thought for a moment."I don't know."

Caroline sighed,"Ok, fine." Then she looked at Elena and Stefan,"It's just a double date, then."

Caroline walked away and Eira was glad that she got out of this courting 'date' thing. She didn't do well around boys as she really didn't know what they were thinking. Damon and Stefan had always kept men away from trying to court her and so, she had no experience in it, at all.

"Let's go, Stef," Eira pulled his arm and he told Elena goodbye really quickly until he let himself be dragged to the next class by her.

The school day was over and Stefan had taken her home. He left after he dropped her off because he was getting flowers for Elena. She thought that was so sweet.

Damon wasn't home, either so Eira had the house to herself. Eira just stayed in her room and laid on her bed reading Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. So far, Eira loved Rhett and she thought Scarlett was so blind. Of course, Eira couldn't judge because in reality, she was blind as well.

It was getting late at night when she heard familiar voices downstairs and she assumed it was Stefan so she immediately went down the stairs to greet him. She wanted to ask how the date went, although she didn't realize it was still going on.

She got downstairs and to the parlor and heard Matt say,"Yeah, my entire house could like fit in here like twice."

She chuckled at that and then Caroline stated,"Feel like I've been here before. It's weird."

Caroline then saw Eira enter the parlor and smiled,"Hey. I'm not gonna let you get out of a date next time."

Eira chuckled at her,"Okay, Caroline. Whatever you say."

Then Matt noticed the miniature car collection,"Whoa! These are great."

"This is, uh.... a little hobby of mine," Stefan said as we walked closer to the car collection.

"I did the entire Mustang series when I was nine," Matt said.

"You like cars?" Stefan asked the dumbest question ever. It's obvious he likes cars.

"That's an understatement," Matt replied.

"Come with me," Stefan told him.

The group followed Stefan outside to the garage. Stefan opened it up and there was a car with a tarp over it. Stefan went to lift the tarp up and said,"Prepare yourself, my friend."

Once the tarp was off, it revealed an old red sports car that was in mint condition. Matt was amazed and so was Eira.

Matt spoke up,"Wait, how do you have this?"

"It got passed down through the family," Stefan lied.

"Why have you kept this hidden?" Eira questioned.

"Well, it doesn't run," Stefan said as he opened the back of the car where the engine was. "I mean, it's not that I could figure it out."

"Why would you keep a car that doesn't run?" Caroline questioned.

"Because it's pretty," Eira answered running her hand over the surface of the car.

"Exactly. She gets it," Matt said.

"Hey, want to come take a look at this for me?" Stefan asked Matt.

"Elena, remember the old Camaro your dad used to have?" Matt directed at Elena.

"Of course," Elena remembered, smiling.

"I built and rebuilt that engine 20 times," Matt stated, proudly.

"Wow," Stefan and Eira both said at the same time. Stefan and Eira both shook their heads, this had happened before when they were growing up as twins.

"Well, I don't like sports cars; they're too hard to make out in," Caroline stated, but Eira didn't know what 'making out' was.

"It wasn't that bad," Matt looked at Elena.

Elena looked at Matt, uncomfortably. Caroline left the garage which Eira didn't know why she did. Elena went after her. Eira just stayed next to the pretty car.

"I'm sorry, man," Matt apologized to Stefan.

"No, no, no. Don't worry about it. You and Elena, you guys have a history and ignoring it doesn't do anybody any good," Stefan said which led Eira to believe Matt and Elena were close once.

"She's good with you," Matt started. "You know, I wasn't sure but she's happy and I'm glad."

"What's 'make out'?" Eira questioned.

"Something I hope you never know," Stefan answered, honestly which made Matt chuckle.

"Okay," Eira said, slowly not satisfied with her answer.

Matt got the engine fixed and they drove the car out of the garage and Eira just walked behind because there wasn't a backseat. She walked to where Caroline and Elena were, which is where the car stopped.

Caroline was upset about something. Eira assumed it was because of whatever history Matt and Elena had. Matt and Stefan got out of the car and he noticed that Caroline was upset and to make the situation better, he let Matt and Caroline take the car for a spin.

Eira thought that was sweet of Stefan. Stefan pulled Elena in for hug and she said,"If it's not vampires, it's girlfriends."

__________

Stefan, Elena, and Eira waited for Matt and Caroline to get back with the car. In that wait, Eira kept her distance from Stefan and Elena because they were being all 'in love' and Eira was uncomfortable.

Soon, Matt and Caroline came back with the car and Eira was glad. Once, they put the car back in the garage, all of them went to the house and went inside.

Although, they were all in for an unwelcome surprise once they entered. Damon was kissing a woman. Eira just thought it looked wrong and gross. She didn't want to see her brother ever do that.

Matt recognized the woman,"Mom?"

"Damon...," Eira scolded.

"Oh my god. Matt," the women she now knew as Ms. Donovan said.

Ms. Donovan stepped away from Damon. She grabbed her purse and then started heading to the front door to leave.

"I got to...", Matt pointed to his mom.

"It's fine. Just go," Caroline reassured.

"I'll take her home," Elena stated.

"Thanks, man," Matt said giving back the keys to the car. Then he left and Eira felt sorry for him.

Eira and everybody else looked at Damon and he just continued to drink his alcohol. Eira walked over to him and took the alcohol out of his hand. He was about to protest but Eira grabbed his arm and dragged him with her to the living room. Damon just let himself be dragged.

Once, they were in the living room she handed the alcohol back to him. Damon gladly took it and went to go sit in one of the chairs.

"There is something wrong with you," Eira crossed her arms.

"And I have gladly accepted it," Damon smirked.

Stefan walked into the room from saying goodbye to Elena and stood beside her. Stefan gave him a look and Damon said,"Don't look at me like that."

"Are you crazy?" Stefan questioned.

"Save the lecture. Look...," Damon started but then someone broke through window next to where Stefan and Eira were standing, making the both of them get pushed to the ground.

The man that broke in, Frederick, took a huge glass shard and stabbed Stefan with it in the the chest. The scent of Eira's ridiculously tantalizing blood drafted through the man's sense of smell.

He looked at her and the veins underneath his eyes appeared and fangs came out. "You're human."

He went to lunge at her but Damon threw him away from Stefan and Eira. Eira got on her knees and went closer to Stefan. She grabbed the glass shard and pulled it out, cutting her hand in the process but she didn't care as long as she helped Stefan.

Stefan and Eira stood up and Stefan was going to help Damon, but another vampire showed up. It was a woman, Bethanne, this time and she also smelt the scent of Eira's blood and went to lunge at her but Stefan held her back.

The woman got the upper hand by throwing Stefan into a chair and it broke. The woman was coming at Eira again but Stefan took a broken piece of the chair and drove it through the woman's back, into her heart. The woman fell down and desiccated.

Damon threw the man across the room and the man immediately got back up, but when he saw that the woman was dead, he used vampire speed and escaped out the broken window.

"Damn it," Damon said.

"I remember them from 1864," Stefan stated, holding his wound. "They were in the tomb."

"Yeah," Damon started nervously. "About that...."
