Thank you for reading this, I do not own Vampire Diaries neither do I own the characters associated with the books/show. I only own my OC along with everything else I make up.

This story is a collab with Starbreese, as you read this I suggest you check out her profile as well.

I watched as I brought my foot out of the water, making water droplets fall back into the tub. The bubbles that surrounded my covered my naked body from view and I was glad for that as soon as I heard my bedroom door open. I, slowly, fell into the water covering more of my body parts. My pale skin glinted from beneath the water as the light from the lights around the bathroom shined onto the water. My bathroom door was wider open, not that I minded, it gave me a good view of the man who nonchalantly walked into my room. I barely spared him a glance as he looked at my relaxing figure making a smirk curl onto his lips.

"You look like you're planning I murder." His accent floated aimlessly around the room, his eyes shined with amusement.

"That's because I am." My reply was simple.

I listened as he made his way into the bathroom, making himself comfortable on the floor, "What's wrong, love?" 

Giving him a small sigh, "Nothing is wrong, why do you always assume that something is always wrong?"

I could barely make out him rolling his eyes out of the corner of my eye, "Whenever you are upset you either sleep or take a bath, a bubble bath to be precise, and if I'm not mistaken those are bubbles, now aren't they?"

Defeated, I turned my head to look at him, "What if our plan fails?"

I wasn't going to lie, I was seriously doubting our skills at the moment. We had a little over a week left before the carnival and my anxiety decided to start acting up. I just had this dark and unsettling feeling residing in my gut, telling me that this wasn't going to end well, and after the first few days I started to believe it. I knew that it was silly to doubt that we would all fail, but this is Katherine we're going up against. If we haven't been able to kill her in the past, then what's going to change this time? What if Esther tries to play those stupid mind games on me again? I don't think I would be able to make it. Like sensing my distress, Klaus placed a reassuring on my shoulder that was above the soapy water.

"Look at me," Without realizing it I had moved my focus to my toes that were currently sticking out from the water, turning to look back at him, his hand that was once laid onto my shoulder moved to my cheek, "Our plan is not going to fail and I won't let anyone hurt my lovely Black Dahlia."

His words were sincere and I found myself giving him a faint smile as I leaned into his touch, "Promise me that we will both make it out of this alive."

Giving a small chuckle, he flashed me a green, "I cross my heart and hope to die."

Then again, promises are meant to be broken.

My strawberry blonde hair was tied up into a bun, small strands failing to stay in the make-shift hair style. Person after person rushed passed me as they tried to make everything perfect. My sunglasses hid the fact that I was rolling my eyes. Caroline, who was yelling out directions and insults, had dragged me out of bed this morning so I could help her with bossing people around. The firm grip I had on the clipboard seemed to tightened as I gave a sigh of annoyance, I was hoping that today I could do something other than being productive, but like always I never get what I want.

"You look like you're about to snap someone's neck." The amusement in the Barbie's voice made a scowl curl onto my lips.

Barely giving her a glance, I answered, "We can't all be you, Rebekah. Unlike you, I'm actually a decent person. I can't kill someone because I feel like it."

"This is one of the reasons I can't understand why my brother likes you, you're too innocent." She gave a flick of her hair, pushing it behind her shoulder making her way to stand in front of me, a smirk planted onto her lips.

"Funny, if I remember correctly I have someone," Giving her a sickly sweet smile, "and well you don't." The blonde glared at me as I took a step closer, moving my head so I whispering into her ear, "How does it feel? To have no one, to be the sister of a brother who wouldn't think twice about daggering her?" The words that were pouring out of my mouth were regrettable, but I honestly didn't care. The anger from everything was beginning to its toll on me, I was done and here I was taking it out of my old best friend. 

"Shut up!" She growled, she grasped me by the neck as she slammed me against a wall, glad that this part of the carnival set up was empty, "You don't know anything!" Her grip tightened around my neck, "You forget that we're more alike than anyone else here, you and I search for love to be accepted by another. Being caught in our brother's selfishness, over and over again. Yes, you may have finally found someone, but don't you dare tell me you stopped looking for love, girls like us never stop."

One week left until our plan was to be put into action. I was still freaking out, but who could blame me? After telling Klaus my doubts, I decided it was best to keep quiet about them not wanting to bother anyone else. Everyone, me, Klaus, Damon, Hope, and Stefan, stood in a circle. As for everyone else, they were focusing on the carnival. 

"The only way for me to disarm any spells on the necklace is to contact my grams, she'll be the one who can help me disarm it. I'll be able to do this the night before the carnival, it'll give you all enough time to make sure everything is in place." Hope explained, seriousness dripping from her words, her eyes dancing across each of us, unnoticeable lingering at Klaus, "If we follow the plan, then we shouldn't encounter any problems." 

"Are you sure it's going to work?" Damon questioned his girlfriend. 

"It's our best bet." She gave a short reply. 

"Then what are we waiting for, love?" Klaus grinned at all of us, "Shouldn't we get the show on the road?"
