- I lost my smile.-

" Decade Dance ?" Elena asked holding the flyer in her hand, I smiled and was going to say no that was until my darling sister answered for me.

" Of course, the twins always go to the decade dances." I smiled at her forcefully, but she couldn't tell neither could Elena. My eyes went to the door as I watched the history teacher walk in.

" The 60's isn't my favorite decade. It will always be the 20's." I tell Elena, she smiles at me then turns to Stefan with the poster.

" I don't dance." I heard Stefan say.

" Salvatore if I'm going your going." I tell him, he rolls his eyes.

" Of course Miss Forbes anything for you Miss Forbes." He said, I giggled and threw a paper ball at him.

" Miss Forbes." I turn my head to find my teacher staring at me.

" Yes Ric.. I mean Mr Saltzmen. " I stutter mentally face palming.

" Stay focused." I nod. " But as seeing as I have your attention what are we learning ?"

" The 60's."

" Very good." He congratulates and turns back to the board, I breathed a sigh of relief and began doodling in my notebook tuning out the lesson and its teacher.

" Sir, can I go to the nurse I seem to have cut myself." A girl says holding her hand, where a big gash lays, the smell of blood hit me like a tsunami. My breathing became heavier, the veins under my eyes ached for her blood.

" Clara breath." I hear Stefan say, but nothing can take my mind off the blood. I look up my eyes instantly on the girl, blood dripping down her arm.

" I've gotta get out of here." I whispered getting out of my seat running out the room, not caring that the teacher was shouting my name or people were given me dirty looks as I ran down the hall.

I ran into the bathroom, turning the sink on and began splashing the cold water onto my face.

" Breath." I said to myself as I watched the water droplets run down my face.
" Breath."

" Are you okay Clara ?" A girl from my class questions as she walks out of one of the bathroom stalls.

" I'm fine Ashley. " I tell her, my eyes narrowed in on her neck, the blood pumping through her veins was like music to my ears.

" Okay, well if there is anything I can do, don't hesitate to ask."

" Well actually there is one thing you could do."

" And whats that ?" She asked, I sped in front of her making her jump.

" Don't scream." I compel,I lean my head towards her neck, my veins reappearing and my fangs protruding out of my mouth and sank them into her neck. Her blood oozing into my mouth, the sweet taste was euphoric.
I grabbed a hold of her neck pushing her against one of the stall doors, groans of pain escaping the young girls lips.

" Oh my god. Stefan she's in here." I hear someone shout but I'm to consumed by the blood to care.

" Clara ! No !" Stefan shouted shoving me away from the girl whose body fell to the floor with a ' thud.'
I rushed my fangs snarling but he pins me to the wall by neck.
" Clara stop ! Listen to me. Its me, listen to my voice."

Everything stopped and suddenly my mind cleared.

" She's dead isn't she ?" I asked my eyes widen, tears falling and blood dripping from my mouth.

" Oh my God. Stefan what did I do ?" I asked him, more tears falling. My eyes frozen on the body on the floor.

" Elena call Damon. " Stefan demanded of the doppelganger, she nods and leaves the bathroom.
" Let's get you cleaned up."

" Stefan, please don't tell Caroline. "

" Clara..." He said as he got some tissue paper to clean my face with.

" Stefan please don't. She'll hate me."

" Fine. Let's just deal with this." He said, I nodded and grabbed more paper towels to wipe my face with.

" Hey Stefan, what's going on ?" Alaric questioned as he walked through the door, his eyes widened at my bloody state but a small smirk made its way onto his lips.

" Ric could you go find Damon."

" No need brother. I'm here. "
