DISCLAIMER-I DO NOT OWN THE VAMPIRE DIARIES.

As William made his way to the limits of the small town, it was clear that this Mystic Falls was full of the supernatural. Anyone could sense it, there was just a certain vibe that was unmistakeable.

The man had told him that this is where he would find her. Katerina. He had said that since she was in hiding, that she had assumed a new identity, and that she would refuse anyone who called her Katerina. Her name was Elena Gilbert.

Katerina had been his first love, and when he woke up one night, she was gone and he was hungry. For blood. She had turned him and left without a word. He was going to find her and exact his revenge.

The man had told him that she had a few weak human friends, one even a witch. He found it very strange that Katerina had associated herself with these people for so long. But he attributed it to her need of a cover story. William knew that the only way he was going to get to her, was through someone else. He had his witch on hand to do the spell. It was only too easy for her to lure him out of The Grill and straight to him. William had watched the boy for days and had his actions memorized. His name was Matt, he worked at the Grill and was said to have a previous relationship with the girl. They were still close friends and she would often go to the Grill and get him to give the underage-looking girl drinks. And that was exactly how he was going to get to her.

The witch, named Auria, had convinced Matt that she had broken down outside and needed some assistance for a quick second. Being the nice guy he was, he quickly agreed and followed the young enchanting lady to her SUV outside. Once there, she quickly pulled some dust (probably some type of herb) out of her pocket and held it to his face, causing him to fall unconscious. She quickly slid him in the seat and drove off.

"Is the spell ready?" William asked the witch. She nodded and began chanting. William soon lost consciousness as well, while the eyes of Matt opened.

"So this is what it feels like to be human again. I don't like it. But if it will allow me to get revenge on Katerina, then I will do anything." Matt/William said.

He made his way back to the Grill.

"Where were you man? You've been gone for 30 minutes." The other waiter asked.

"Had to help a lady with car troubles. Everything is fine now though." William/Matt told the guy. After about 10 minutes, he saw her come in with a blond girl. That must be Caroline. Or 'the feisty vampire' the man had told him. As they made there way to a table, William/Matt made his way over to them. Seeing her face after so many centuries was bittersweet. She was as beautiful as ever, even if her hair was now straight instead of curls. He didn't think he had ever seen her smile so much when she was with him, which made him want this revenge even more.

"Hey Matt!" She said with a smile. Katerina had changed, that was for sure.

"Hey Elena." I said remembering her alias.

"Can we get some bourbon please?" She had asked. Classic. She had always liked bourbon. This would be easier than he thought.

"Sure, just remember not to tell anyone. I can't get fired from this job. It's all I have." I told her in a convincing manner. She nodded and he walked away to prepare the drinks. When he got behind the bar, he pulled out two glasses, put some ice in them, poured the bourbon in both, then slid a small vile out of his pocket and slipped it into one. The potion wouldn't take effect immediately, so she wouldn't know until she at least got home.

He walked the drinks back over to them, they thanked him and he walked away smiling. As he watched her down the entire cup, he couldn't help but smirk. His job was complete and it had only been too easy. After a while, he left the Grill back to the witch as he no longer needed this body.

Elena POV

As I drank my bourbon, Caroline and I talked about Damon and Stefan and how I had been getting angry and annoyed with how both were treating me since I had become a vampire.

"I mean, I have always been 'Team Stefan' but I agree that he is treating you like a broken toy ever since you were turned. And you already know my feelings about Damon. Maybe you just need a break from them both!" Caroline said as she downed the rest of her bourbon.

"Maybe you're right. Maybe I do just need a break from them both to see what I want." I said. It was true. Since I changed I had become a different person and I felt like they were fighting over how I should live my life. That should be my choice.

"I mean, they were fighting over how I would feed for goodness sake! I can make decisions for myself. I think I'm going to take a vacation. Not tell anyone where I am going and just take a break for myself for a week." I said, knowing what I needed to do.

"That's a great idea,Elena. As long as you call me and let me know you are safe. You deserve a break." Caroline said enthusiastically.

"I think I'm going to leave now. Please, Caroline, don't tell them and don't let them look for me. I don't want them to. And no locator spells from Bonnie, either!" I said, drinking the last drop, before I got up to leave.

"Okay okay, just be careful please. And try to have fun! Don't worry about things." Caroline yelled after me as I walked out the door to my freedom.

I walked straight to my Escape, climbed in and took off without even worrying about clothes. I needed to get a head start because I knew that the boys would look for me as soon as they noticed I was gone, even if I told them not to.

I wrote this one a long time ago and apparently never posted it, so ENJOY! :)
