"You never loved me?"

EVERYONE LOOKED AT STEFAN AS
they all stayed quiet, waiting for an answer. Elena was looking at Stefan with a hopeful look. She hoped that what Damon said, wasn't true. That he didn't develop feelings for her new best friend.

"What...no I am in love with Elena. She is my girlfriend and I love her with my whole heart." Stefan defended himself, lying to all their faces.

He couldn't let them know that he was in love with another girl who was also currently in a relationship herself. Thankfully they all, exept Damon
believed it.

Elena had sighted in relief as she walked up to her boyfriend and kissed him. The vampire held back a sigh of relief as he kissed the girl back passionately.

"Faith is like a sister to him, Damon. Ofcourse he is protective over her. But that doesn't mean he is in love with her. Now go apologise to her for what you did to her" the doppelgänger then said after she pulled away from the kiss, glaring at the raven haired vampire.

Damon rolled his eyes. "The hell I am" he spat as he walked to the kitchen and took a sip of his bourbon.

He knew his brother. How Stefan looked at the witch was just like how he first looked at Elena. Now when he looked at Elena it was a different look. Damon ofcourse did see this as a chance to get Elena for himself.

Holly was done with him talking so she wasted no time and now rushed to him.

"The hell you are douchebag!" she said as she grabbed his arm and dragged him to the room, kicking the door open.

Damon now was trying not to spill his drink as he got dragged and his veins were now showing. The vampire grabbed the werewitch by her neck and pinned her against the door.

"Don't fucking touch me again" Damon snapped as he held the blonde her throat tightly now.

His veins were also popping under his eyes, but as he then looked in the room of Faith and saw the open window, he released his grip on he girl her neck.

"FUCK"

Holly rubbed her throat in pain, and looked at the vampire who suddenly was being so frustrated.

"What is it?"

"Faith is gone. She isn't in this room"

"Good joke-" the blonde said, but blinked repeatedly confused as she looked in the spare bedroom and didn't see any sign of her girlfriend at all.

"...Oh you're right"

"See."

"I think she went to her own place as you treated her like shit!" she then said while she pushed him to the wall, and walked out the room.

"I WAS PROTECTING HER"

"LIKE WE WILL BELIEVE THAT" Holly yelled now back, trying to not throw him out the window.

"Lets all calm down! Faith texted me she is home safely. We will see her tommorow at school alright?" Athena had now said, as she had ran to them, and pulled her friend back. Preventing her to cause a scene.

Holly sighted and rolled her eyes. "Fine"

"Great I will lecture her after!" Damon said, but got interrupted by a slap in his face.

"No you won't asshole" Athena said as she then left with her girlfriend and Holly.

WARNING: LITTLE SMUT

AS THE GIRLFRIENDS ENTERED
their appartment Athena dropped her purse and pushed the werewolf to the wall as she kicked the door close.

Skylar smiled as they then parted their lips and pressed onto each other's, kissing each other passionately while their bodies pressed heatedly against the wall.

Athena then lowered down to Skylar her neck and started french kissing it.
Skylar gasping, and softly moaning as she enjoyed it. The latina moved with her hand slowly to her girlfriend her skirt and lifted it then down.

The werewolf took her girlfriend her skirt off too as they then went to their bedroom, kissing each other again. As they layed on the bed, Athena found a stuffed panda, and picked it up.

''I didn't know you still slept with stuffed animals'' she said with a smile.

As Skylar saw what her girlfriend was holding she turned red as she grabbed it and put it away.

''Don't touch it again please'' she mumbled.

''Why not? Do you have some chip in it or something so if someone touches it , it possesses them and then they explode?'' the girl replied as she laughed.

''I- uhm..no...I..''

The heretic now looked at her girlfriend confused.

''I use it.....for some..private purposes''

It now stayed quiet for a while before Athena spoke up again.

''You put your stuffed animal in your VAGINA???'' she said in disbelief at which the werewolf turned more red then a tomato and hid under the blankets.

''I'm concerned now of what you could have put more into you....'' Athena now said.

''You...'' muttered the werewolf suddenly from under the blankets.

This made the heretic slowly remove the blankets off her girlfriend as she smiled.

"Shall we see if I am better then the panda?" she questioned as she held back a laugh.

The werewolf now smiled and with that they removed more of their clothes.

END SMUT/dirty talking

FAITH WALKED THE NEXT DAY

through the hallway at school with Caroline. Meanwhile she tried to use her breathing techniques now.

"Sooo you okay?" the blonde asked her friend.

"Ofcourse I am, why wouldn't I be?" the witch said, confused of why her friend was asking that question.

The healer then caught sight of Matt putting up a poster which read:

"Live music tonight at the Mystic Grill" on a wall. At which the blonde and the brunette walked up to him.

''Hey, Matt.'' Caroline said while Faith looked at the poster.

''Hey.'' Matt said at which the witch noticed something was off.

''Live band?'' She decided to ask the boy.

''Yeah, business has been a little slow. The Grill's trying to stay afloat.''

''Aren't we all?'' Caroline said at which Faith sighted.

''Have you heard from Tyler?'' Matt then asked the blonde vampire.

''Not a peep. You?''

''No, not since he stopped by the Grill to talk, and I've left messages on his cell phone.''

''He stopped by to see you?'' ''What did he say?'' the two girls asked him at the same time.

''Not much, really. I mean...I think to say good-bye without really saying good-bye. I just didn't know it.'' he answered them.

''And that's all he said?'' Caroline then asked, worrying about Tyler.

''Yeah. Yeah, that's all he said, Caroline. Why? I mean, is there something you want to tell me?'' Matt then asked her.

''Yeah! I...I mean, no, I...it's just not that easy.'' she stuttered.

Faith felt sympathy for Caroline who had to keep what she was a secret to him. It wasn't easy at all and she felt bad about that.

''I don't get it! Since when have am I the one that can express himself and you're the one at a loss for words?'' the human said.

''No, you're right, and I'm sorry.''

''You know how I feel. So it's your move. Just make a decision or leave me alone.'' Matt then said annoyed and walked away.

"Damn what was that all about...did something happen?" Faith asked her friend worried after Matt left.

"Don't worry it's nothing...I should get going now bye" the blonde lied as she then also walked away.

The tribrid blinked as she stood now alone in the hallway. She then suddenly heard some known voices.

''She's out of the tomb?'' she regoniced Bonnie her voice so she walked towards her and then saw Stefan with Jeremy too.

''Who is out the tomb?'' she asked them.

Stefan blushed but hid it as he fast looked away from the little witch.

"Katherine" he said before he focussed on Bonnie again.

"Yeah. We're dealing with it, all right? Just be extra careful. She's gotten a little too good at impersonating Elena." he explained.

"With Katherine still around, we gotta find a way to get your powers back." Jeremy sighted as he looked at the Bennet witch.

Faith her eyes widened. "Your powers are gone??" she asked in shock.

"Long story short. The Martins took my powers" she said as she looked down.

Faith immediately hugged Bonnie as she said that.

"I'm so sorry that happened Bon" she said.

Bonnie just gave a small nod with a sad smile.

Bonnie was at least relieved that the girl also had magic. So if they couldn't get her magic to work they could have the help of her friend.

"Listen, I want to get the Martins on our side. I want to figure out a way for us all to work together now that Elijah's out of the picture." Stefan spoke at which Faith looked down upset.

Stefan noticed it and sighted. He felt somehow bad for daggering Elijah. Faith really seemed to care for the original and he cared for her. But ofcourse he felt bad, he was in love with her and didn't like seeing her upset.

"It's impossible. They hate us." Bonnie said to Stefan who then stopped glancing at Faith.

"It's either win them over or somebody's going to end up dead. You think you can at least convince them to have a civil conversation?"

"I'll try."

"Thanks. Keep me posted."

"Wait you all are going to talk to them?" the healer now asked them.

They all nodded as they then also went to class fast.

﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋

HOLLY HER BLOOD WAS BOILING
as she couldn't believe Faith still wanted to stay in this dangerous town. She could get hurt. She was pacing around the room when the tribrid returned home from school.

"BAE!! I am going to have a talk with the Martins together with Stefan and Bonnie" she yelled.

The blonde said nothing, standing infront of her packed stuff.

As Faith noticed her girlfriend didn't give an answer she went upstairs. Worry was shown as she saw Holly her stuff packed.

"Love....what is going on?"

The werewitch turned around as she looked at the brunette, tears welling up.

"I can't do this"

The tribrid shook her head, going with her hand through her own hair.

"What do you mean..." she asked, pannick soundable in her voice.

"This. You and me it doesn't work"

"Did I do something wrong?"

"You are constantly putting yourself in danger"

"You know I am meant to protect everyone. I am not letting my friends to be killed."

"And I won't watch how my girlfriend gets killed in the progress or gets torn apart" Holly said sternly her voice breaking.

"What...you won't lose me please stay I love you."

"And I don't. I never did... "

With that the healer her heart broke. Tears were rolling down her face as she looked in disbelief at the werewitch.

"...You never loved me? This was all a lie??" she asked, her hands shaking as she waited for an explanation.

''I loved the idea of you as you seemed so perfect, sociable, stunning, caring and simply amazing...but now I see you are just putting us all in danger. Did you even think of your kids? But no you are just too broken to see what you are doing to yourself and to us!''

''Don't you dare blame this on me and make me out to be the bad guy!!''

Holly scoffed. ''You are so delusional. You always were. You will never get better, don't you get it. I TRIED to see if this could work out, but it's not possible. You are impossible to deal with."

"Impossible?? Wow"

"It's the truth. You put everyone before yourself and you don't care if you get hurt. You put yourself out there like you don't have anything to lose!"

"So? I can't just let them die and run!"

"Gosh you have litterly no selfrespect! How did I ever end up dating you?? It's like you don't have your own personality. That you just adjust yourself to people so they like you and won't hate you. But GUESS WHAT. Who would love someone like you who can't even say no or FUCKING curse!"

"You know why..."

"Yes but we all have traumas. You are not the only one. At least we try to face our problems and try to get better. To get past the trauma and not let it impact our life!"

The tribrid now swallowed a lump in her throat as she opened the bedroom door.

''Leave.''

''Faith-''

''GET YOUR SHIT AND GET THE FUCK OUT'' the girl yelled as her eyes glew blue.

Holly fast grabbed her stuff and walked past the tribrid. After a few moments the healer could hear the frontdoor close and the car start. She fell onto the floor, tears falling down more and more as she broke entirely down.

She didn't know why Holly acted that way. She was always so loving to her. Was it all an act?

﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋

ELENA KNOCKED ONTO THE DOOR as it was evening and her, Jenna, Bonnie and Caroline wanted to go to the grill to party and have a girls night.

"Faith are you home?" Elena called out.

After some minutes they could hear sounds of someone crying and Bonnie grabbed a housekey which she got from Faith and opened the door.

Quietly the girls went inside as Bonnie directly went upstairs to find the healer. After 2 minutes they all found the girl in the bedroom on the ground sobbing.

Bonnie rushed over to the healer, worried as she hugged the girl. The witch immediately hugged the Bennet witch back as she sobbed into her shoulder.

"Let it out...let it all out.." Bonnie soothed as she patted the healer her back.

Elena sat now besides the two witches and also hugged them which led to a grouphug of 5 people. Silently they sat there for a few minutes letting the little witch cry her heart out. Jenna rubbed Faith her hand worried. They knew something was up now as they never seen her like this. So heartbroken.

"Sweetheart are you okay?" Jenna asked Faith after she had dried her tears and stood infront the mirror to fix her make up.

"We are here for you. Tell us who we need to kick their ass" Caroline added.

"Was it Damon again?" Elena decided to ask at which Jenna raised her eyebrows at her niece.

"Oh...uhm they had a little argument some days ago" she lied at which her aunt nodded, believing it.

"...No it wasn't Damon" the healer responded as she finished her make up again.

"Who is it then?" Caroline asked as she wanted to know who messed with her best friend.

"Holly....she broke up with me"

The girls now glanced at each other. They did not expect that. Holly would always stick up for Faith and buy her little gifts. They always had a date every week because the werewitch wanted to spend more time with each other.

They looked like they were made for each other. But now hearing their relationship ended everyone couldn't believe it.

"I'm so sorry that happened Faithy..." Bonnie said as she layed a hand on the healer her shoulder for comfort.

Faith faked a smile as she turned around from the mirror and looked at them all.

"It's fine, but thank you for the concern though...she appearently never loved me. She now left town and she will never come back. But enough about that. Why were you all here?"

"Well we wanted to go to the grill where there is a party" Bonnie said.

She decided to indeed change the subject as it could be good for the witch to have some distraction for what happened today.

"A party you say?" a smile creeped on the girl her face as she said that.

﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋

THE GIRLS ARRIVED AT THE GRILL
and looked at the band. Faith smiled as she now could have some distraction from her heartbreak. She closed her eyes a bit as she enjoyed the beats she felt from the music.

Together with Elena, Caroline, and Bonnie they were listening to the band while Jenna had left after speaking with Alaric at the bar.

"He said the ball's in your court." Bonnie said to Caroline, reffering to Matt.

"Yeah, but I can't do anything about it." Caroline said.

"Why not? All you do is talk about how much you care about him."

"Yeah, but I am still keeping so many secrets."

"Alaric's in the same boat with Jenna and maybe that's our mistake. We're trying to protect the people that we love by keeping them out of it, but in the end, we're hurting them anyway." Elena then said, joining their conversation.

Faith hearing it all, averted her gaze at them as she sighted.

"Secrets are lies...truth could hurt but lies kill and destroy relationships" she spoke at which the doppelgänger looked at the witch and slightly nodding as she agreed.

The tribrid mostly said it as she felt it was wrong to lie about what she was. In other words keeping it a secret. But to be honest for her it was too risky. It could bring everyone in danger.

Besides that, Holly had lied to Faith about loving her. This had now really broke Faith her heart. She found honesty one of the most important things she valued in a relationship. Now that she knew that their relationship was build on a lie it only made her think of what more of Holly was a lie.

As the song ended Caroline suddenly took off her jacket and gave it to Faith.

"What are you doing?"

" Where are you going?" Elena now also asked while the blonde went on stage and took the microphone.

"Hey, everybody. Let's hear it for the band! Weren't they awesome?" the blonde said with a cheerful tone as she started clapping at which everyone joined in.

"This isn't going to end well." Jenna said as she drank another shot of tequila who Faith tried to steal of her first without success.

"So there's this guy. And, uh, he told me to tell him how I feel about him. Like it's so easy. Um, you know, just 'cause I talk a lot doesn't mean I always know what I'm actually talking about. Ah, like now, I'm feeling loopy and I don't really know how to express myself." the vampire continued while the singer went to her to gently take the microphone off her but she resisted.

"I can sing. Yeah! Yeah. You know what, I'm going to sing."

Bonnie, Jenna, and Elena all look baffled exept Faith. The little witch held her thumbs up with a big smile as she clapped.

"Sing?" Elena said confused.

Faith knew how Caroline was a good singer as they always did some karaoke at her place. So she was exited and sje just whisseled so the atmosphere would maybe change a bit.

"Come on, off the stage." the singer now said to try to get Caroline off the stage.

"You are going to let me live out my rock star fantasies, and you are going to be my back-up." Caroline said as she compelled him.

She ofcourse wasn't going to let anyone ruin her moment now.

"What'll it be?" the man then asked her at which she then whispered something in his ear.

It then all went quiet when the singer told the song to his band and the music started.

Faith was right. Caroline sang amazing and the witch now tried at the bar to get a drink with once again no good results. She sighted deeply as she needed something to numb this pain she felt.

She looked back at the stage and smiled as she saw Matt and Caroline kiss. After some moments trying to get a drink with no luck she gave up and walked over to Bonnie who was talking to an unknown man.

"Dr. Martin. You okay?" Bonnie had asked the male.

"Oohh so you are THE Martin" the witch exclaimed with a smile as she held her thumbs up.

"Where is she?" Jonas Martin asked the Bennet witch, ignoring the healer.

"I don't understand."

"My son is dead."

"Whatever it is you think you need to do, there's a better way." Faith said as she noticed his energy and it wasn't good at all.

"They killed Elijah and they killed Luka and my only shot at getting my daughter back is if I have Elena."

"No. No, Dr. Martin." as Faith said that he broke the stage lights with his powers.

"Where is she?"

"We don't know. We haven't seen her." Bonnie said.

Though Jonas wasn't pleased by that answer he grabbed Faith harshly by her arm, sensing her power then, his eyes widened. Faith knew he felt her magic now as more powerful then other witches at which she was pannicking now.

He now held the girl tightly while breaking the rest of the lights in the Grill. Bonnie begging him to stop.

"Let her go please...Jonas we are sorry of Luka but please"

It was dark now and everyone were pannicking as they couldn't see a thing.

"No one's getting out of here until I have her." Jonas repeated as he firmed his grip onto the healer.

"Don't do this. Please don't do this." Bonnie continued to beg, tears filling her eyes.

He ignored her words as he broke all the bottles with his powers and set fire to the bartop. Bonnie her eyes widened and now tried to stop him, but he put his hand on her forehead at which she then fell on the floor, unconscious.

Faith was shaking in fear as she tried to get out of Jonas his grip. Everyone was getting out while Matt tried to stop the fire. The male then noticed Bonnie.

"Bonnie! Hey, Bonnie!" he called out, worried as he rushed over to her.

Meanwhile Jonas had moved to the other side of the Grill still having a strong hold onto the healer.

"Dr. Martin! I'm so sorry about Luka. I never wanted that to happen, but...at least let us help you get your daughter back." Elena said as she showed up with Stefan.

Stefan glanced worried at Faith while he tried his best to not attack the man now for touching her.

"Only Elijah can do that." Jonas said.

"You don't need Elijah."

As the doppelgänger said that he set fire to another bar and turned to Stefan and Elena, but Caroline then suddenly jumped on him. Cause of this distraction Stefan and Elena could both leave unseen.

Faith had fallen onto the ground and she then looked to see Caroline trying to bite Jonas, but he provoked a headache with his powers. Caroline screamed in pain.

"Caroline" Faith and Matt yelled as they saw it happening and the witch then pushed Jonas against the wall.

Jonas was in shock though as he saw the healer her eyes suddenly glow blue. She held a firm grip onto his throat.

"Do not hurt her EVER AGAIN" the girl yelled at him.

As he seemed to be calm the healer started to relax her grip and lost focus. Using this in advantage Jonas broke a bottle and stabbed it in Faith her neck and left.

The witch held her throat painfully as she choked onto her blood and fell onto the floor.

"Faith! Faith! Oh! Oh, my God!" Caroline cried out as she rushed over to her bestfriend.

"Just breathe Caroline...just breathe." she then said to try and calm herself down.

Matt grabbed his phone immediately as his hands were shaking and started to type in 911.

As he looked up his face went pale. His girlfriend her face changed, she bit her wrist and put it to Faith's mouth.

"What the hell are you doing Care...."

"You have to drink. Please, please." The blonde vampire said to her friend, ignoring Matt.

Faith though was too weak to stay awake as her vision went black and her eyes fully closed.

"To one of your house now!"

Startled Caroline looked up to see Skylar. The werewolf rushed to them, picking Faith up. As she did that Stefan had returned as he was worried for Faith.

Seeing her covered in her own blood in her best friend her arms he teared up.

"Feed her my blood." he said, his voice breaking.

Caroline wiped her tears as she stood up.

"I tried but she is unconcious"

"It won't work also" Skylar spoke up at which the two vampires looked confused at her.

"I will explain later just go to Elena I will take Faith home and Caroline...I think you need to talk to someone" she continued and then left.

Everyone was in shock or confused, though they did what Skylar had told them to. Stefan getting back to Elena, not entirely caring as he wnated to be with Faith, and Caroline going with Matt to her place to talk with him.

﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋

A FEW MOMENTS LATER AT THE Gilbert house Stefan and Katherine now walked downstairs .

"Everything's taken care off" Stefan sighted.

"I'm guessing you're going to want this back. But your pretty little outfit is going to need a good dry clean." Katherine said while pulling off Elena her necklace.

Elena snatched her necklace from Katherine's hand and then turned to look at her boyfriend who still looked concerned.

"You're going to have to get her out of here before Jenna gets home." she just said.

"Is that all you have to say to me?" Katherine questioned her doppelgänger.

"This doesn't change the way I feel about you."

"I don't much like you, either, if we're going to be open and frankly, I'd be happy to see you dead but if we're going to try to take on Klaus, we kinda need you to be alive. So I'm not a threat to you, Elena. If any of you are going to believe anything, believe that." as she finished saying that she turned to Stefan.

"Maybe you should tell Elena the truth. I mean Holly broke up with Faith. Sweet Elena deserves the truth at least." she spoke with a smirk.

"What is she talking about?" Elena said confused, looking at her boyfriend for wanting answers.

"I will leave you two alone" Katherine said as she then sped away.

"Tell me the truth Stefan" Elena then said, focussing on the boy.

"Elena...I love you"

"The truth." she said, not believing a word he was saying.

"It is the truth. I do love you so much but..."

"But what? Say it."

"...I'm in love with someone else"

Elena shook her head, but then forced a smile.

"Well..you are not the only one" she sighted, rubbing her face as tears were falling down.

"....Damon isn't it"

"Faith right?"

They both said it at the same time which made them laugh and nod.

"You two will look good together..." Stefan said as he looked into the doppelgänger her eyes.

"...Same goes to you and Faith. To be honest...we all always had a feeling you two were meant to be"

At that he cocked his head to the side to look at her.

"Really?"

"She is relaxed with you..you are relaxed with her. You two trust each other and all"

He nodded at that, sighting a bit as he placed his hand into his pockets.

"So...I guess this is it?" he started at which Elena nodded.

"This is it..."

﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋
N

OT FAR AWAY IN AN ALLEY, HOLLY
waited for someone in the pouring rain. She wiped some tears which were rolling down her cheeks when she heard a voice.

"Is it done?"

The werewitch nodded. "Yes..."

A figure now stepped closer to the girl.

"Good. Now dissapear and none of your friends will die, understood?" the figure spoke coldly.

The blonde nodded fast, fear seen in her eyes.

"I will be far away...I promise"

"Good. You can go now"

With that said the girl had gotten into her car and left Mystic Falls forever.

The figure went into their basement putting a picture of non other then Faith at the wall, revealing more pictures of her in her entire life.

The figure removed their hood, and smiled.

"You are mine Faith. No one will take you from me" the unknown person spoke, placing their knife at the table.
