I didn't want to be the same thing I was last year which was Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz so I used the cloths I had to be a girl boxer. I put on black sports bra, black spandex and a pink silky robe. I went down to the kitchen to see if we had any black tape, luckily we did so I taped my hands like a boxer would. I went back upstairs and put on black shoes.

"I'm ready!" I yell at Elena and Jeremy to hurry up.

When we finally left the house Elena was in the same costume as she was last year which was a sexy, bloody nurse. Jeremy was wearing a hoodie

"You couldn't at least wear a costume?" I ask.

"I'm not five." he said. I looked down at my costume then looked back at him.

"I'm not dressed like I'm five. Although Halloween is a day that girls can get away from dress up as a slut." I say. Elena looks over at me, Jeremy and I break out in laughter as we walk in. Jeremy wraps his arm around my neck and I look up at him and smile.

"Elena, you went with last year's costume too?" Matt asked walking up to us.

"Yeah I didn't know I was coming until about an hour ago." she says.

"Me either." Matt agrees with her. "Soph, you're a boxer?" he asked. I nodded.

"I actually like this one." I tell him.

"And let me guess, you're going as yourself?" Matt said sarcastically. Jeremy glares at him and let's go of my neck and walks away as if he was looking for someone.

"Sorry he's not talking to me right now. We got into a fight before we came." Elena said. I looked at her in confusion.

"Yeah, I got into one with Vicki. I'm trying not to smother her tonight, but part of me didn't want to let her out of my sight." Matt says.

"Wait, she's here?" I ask in a panicked voice.

"Yeah, can't miss her she's a vampire." Matt says with a smile.

"Where's Jeremy?" Elena asks, she started to breath heavily.

"What's wrong?" Matt asks looking at me. I ran my finger through my hair.

"I've got to go find him." Elena said running off. I followed her as we pushed our way through the crowd. It felt like we were running for hours.

"We're never going to find him." I say taking a breath.

"Oh thank God." Elena said making her way toward Stefan who had Vicki. I followed her.

"I swear to God, Vicki if you hurt him I will kill you myself." I yell at her. She gave a smirk and I knew she was going to do something I started to go after her, but Stefan pushed me slightly.

"What's the matter?" he asks trying to get me calm.

"Jeremy is here and we lost him, that's the problem." I said ready to pounce on Vicki.

"What's going on?" Matt asks as he walks up to us.

"Uh, everything is fine." Stefan says.

"I told you to quit bothering me!" Vicki says pushing Stefan away.

"You bitch." I whisper to where I hope she can hear.

"Matty he won't leave me alone." she said as if she was innocent.

"You need to back off man." Matt said yelling at Stefan.

"Matt it's okay." Elena tried to say.

"No it's not okay! What the hell is your problem?" Matt says getting angrier by the second.

"She's gone!" I yelled.

I take off running hoping that I can find Jeremy before Vicki. I don't know if Elena or Stefan were following, but I don't care, if Vicki touches Jeremy I'm going to kill her vampire or not. I stop to rest then I notice Elena taking the back exit to the school buses so I follow her. When I open the door I see Elena being thrown.

"Elena!" I yell. I quickly run to her to make sure she was at least breathing. I then turn around and glare at Vicki I stood up and was about to go after her, but Stefan beat me to it as he restrains Vicki.

"Vicki!" Jeremy yells. Stefan got distracted and Vicki slipped away and disappeared.

"Get inside!" Stefan yells at us.

I grab Elena and Jeremy's hand and run to the door. When I open it I feel Elena and Jeremy's grasp let go of mine, I turn around and in a blink of an eye I felt pain on my neck. I screamed in pain all I could feel were her teeth sinking into my fragile skin.

It all stops as she pulls away from me gasping for breath, I looked at her and saw a stake through her heart. I back up and feel arms around me, it was Elena. I lean my head on her shoulder as I watch Vicki's life disappear. Stefan pulls the stake out of her body as her face started to turn gray and veins started to form on her face.

"Vicki!" Jeremy yells running for her, but Stefan holds him back. She falls to the ground, she was dead for real now, it's all over.

"Can you get them out of here?" I ask Stefan referring to Jeremy and Elena. "I'll take your car home." I told Elena. She nodded as she followed Stefan out of the parking lot and back to the party. I look at Vicki's dead body, I bend down to get a real good look at her. I don't know why I said that I wanted her dead because I didn't. Tears were starting to fall down my face as I looked at her dead body.

"You should go. I got this." said a voice. I looked up and saw Damon. He looked downs me as if he felt sorry for me.

"This is all your fault." I say.

"You're confusing me with someone with remorse." Damon replied. "None of this maters to me. None of it." he said with no feelings. I stand up and look his in the eyes.

"You don't get it. You only worry about yourself. That's why you turned Vicki, because you needed blood to get stronger." I say as the tears kept falling. I pushed him, but he didn't move so I kept pushing and hitting him even though he could barely feel anything, "Why won't you fight back?" I yell at him. That's when I finally stop. "You, Damon Salvatore are a cold hearted, mysterious jackass." I say before I walk away whipping the tears from my face.

I was about to leave the party when I head my name being called. I turned around and saw Brian in his scarecrow costume from last year.

"What happened?" he asked. I just realized that my neck was bleeding.

"Oh, some dude got me with fake blood." I say with a fake smile.

"Can we talk?" Brian asks getting closer to me. I give him a small nod. "I thought about what happened that night of the Founder's party and I realized that I wasn't there for you when your parents died. So I guess it was my fault that you and Tyler happened." he said.

"It wasn't your fault, it was no one's fault. It was a stupid mistake, everyone makes them." I say. I turn around and start to walk to Elena's car.

"Soph?" I turn around. "Get back together with me. I can't live my life without you, please tell me that we can get back to where we left off." he said as he was an inch away from me. I sighed and looked up at the sky then I looked back at Brian.

"Let me think about it." I say opening Elena's car door. Brian nodded then walked away.

When he got far away I broke down in tears I don't know what to do about Vicki and now Brian wants to get back together. One part of me tells me to say yes, but another part says don't forget about Damon Salvatore.

I drive Elena's car back home. When I get to the front door Stefan is waiting for me.

"Are they in there?" I ask. He nods.

I give a fake smile as I head into the house and make my way upstairs, I could hear the shower running in the bathroom so I went into Jeremy's room and saw him on his bed with his arms wrapped around his legs that we're pulled up close to him.

"Do you understand what happened tonight?" I ask looking eye to eye at him.

"No I don't understand." said with tears falling down his face.

"She was going to kill me, Jer." I explain.

"Now she's dead. Vicki is dead." Jeremy cries.

"I'm so sorry." I say wrapping my arms around him as he cried on my shoulder.

"Make it stop, it hurts!" he said in my ear.

"It's okay." I hush him.

"Why does everyone have to die on me?" he asks. I let go of my hug and look at him.

"I can promise you I will never die on you." I tell him. He sniffs then pulls me in another hug and we both cry together.

After Jeremy got tried of crying I went back outside on the front porch and saw that Stefan was still there. He was going to say something, but I cut him off.

"Make him forget." I say. Stefan put his hands in his pockets and gave a long sigh.

"Sophie." he said.

"I know you heard him in there, I don't want him going through the pain again when our parents died. Stefan please." I beg.

"Sophie, there's no guarantee it will work because of who I am, because of how I live. I don't have the ability to do it right." he explains tome.

"I'll do it." I turn around and see Damon. "If it's what you really want then I'll do it." Damon says.

"I want it." I say confidently.

"What do you want me to say to him?" Damon asks.

"Tell him that Vicki left town and she's not coming back. He shouldn't look for her or worry for her. He's going to miss her, but he knows it's for the best." I tell Damon. He nods and walks into the house. I slowly turn around to look at Stefan. He went to go sit down on the side of the porch, I followed him.

"Thank you for saving me." I said.

"It was nothing." he said. I look at him in confusion.

"Yes it was. If I would've died instead of Vicki, Elena or Jeremy would never forgive her or you for not trying to save me." I tell him.

"I guess." he says quietly. Stefan then bit his wrist and held it up to my face, "Drink, your neck will heal." he says.

I look at his wrist in disgust then I slowly lean in and drink his blood. When I let go I could slowly feel the pain on my neck go away.

"I don't know if you know this, but I wish Elena and I never met you or Damon. I wish we never got involved with this stuff, lots of people that we love are going to die." I pause as I feel Stefan's eyes on me, "But my sister loves you so much and I respect you for that." I say with tears flowing down my face. I soon feel arms wrap around me as I'm leaned into Stefan's chest and that's when I let it all out.

We lost someone important in our lives today. I regret ever saying those things to Vicki before she died, but things got out of control. If this is going to be the normal day for me I don't want to be apart of it. I'm not sure what's going to happen with Elena when she realizes that I told Damon to take Jeremy's memories away, but I hope she will know that it was for the best.
