So, I had this absolutely crazy idea while watching Damon/Aria videos on YouTube and I absolutely had to write it. I think it's pretty cool but I'll let you decide if you think the same or not. I warned you that I have nothing planned out, I just know that the story will follow the PLL episodes but with Damon's addition to the story, who knows what will happen.

Pretty Little Liars/Vampire Diaries Cross-Over. TurnedHuman!Damon. Pretty Little Liars Universe.

After 'Vampire Diaries' Season4 and starting from season1 of 'Pretty Little Liars'. Teacher/Student Relationship guys, if you don't like it, don't read it!

Pairings: Damon Salvatore/Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings/Toby Cavanaugh, Hanna Marin/Caleb Rivers, Emily Fields/Paige McCullers, Emily Fields/Alison DiLaurentis. And let's not forget all the other minor couples: Spencer/Wren, Hanna/Sean, Emily/Maya, Spencer/Alex etc.

Summary: Klaus doesn't arrive in time to save Damon in the season4 finale, so Elena is forced to feed him the cure even if he doesn't want it. Damon is unable to cope with being human in a supernatural town and he's now destined to grow old while Elena won't, thing that prevents them from being together. For all these reasons, feeling that he has nothing that really binds him to the town anymore, he leaves Mystic Falls and everyone else behind. After traveling around the States for about one year without a destination in mind, he ends up in a little town in Pennsylvania - Rosewood -. He decides to stay and starts to attend Hollis College, trying to build a new life for himself. After three years he graduates from Hollis and he's ready to start his first teaching job. A day before school starts - on Labor's Day -, he meets a beautiful, dark-haired girl at a bar and, without meaning to, he ends up entangled in the mystery that surrounds her and her friends due to the disappearance of one Alison DiLaurentis and the strange messages they keep receiving from someone who only signs themselves as -A. PLL UNIVERSE. Starts from the Pilot of PLL and follows the seasons.

Part of this prologue is taken directly from the flashback in the pilot of PLL, you know what I'm talking about.

Ezra is basically replaced by Damon in this story. So NO EZRA, NO EZRIA.

BTW I'm an Ezra/Aria and Damon/Elena fan, I'm not writing this because I can't stand Aria with Ezra or Damon with Elena, nothing of the sort. I just think it will be cool to have Damon in the 'Pretty Little Liars' Universe with -A and all the other stuff. Since, like I said, I actually like Ezra, he won't be in the story because otherwise I would be forced to choose between Damon and Ezra with Aria and well...Ezra would win because EZRIAAAAA! Anyway I hope you like it!

Damon was 21 when he was turned in my story, so he's still technically 21 when he becomes human. When Damon and Aria meet he's 25 years old. 'Vampire Diaries' from Season1 to Season4 is set from 2004 to 2006. When Damon and Aria meet we're in 2010, four years later.

Damon will replace Ezra like I said, but he doesn't know Alison, he only knows what happened to her from the newspapers, nothing more. He doesn't know who Aria is or the other girls. He isn't trying to write a book about Alison, he's not 'Board Shorts'.

He will realize almost from the start that there's something going on with Aria and her friends - after all Damon is freakishly perceptive -, something Aria doesn't want to talk about, something she's afraid of. So, he will try to find out what it is and he will become involved in the whole affair, becoming an active part in the 'investigations' so to say.

P.S. I forgot to mention that Damon won't start to grow old quickly because he has it in his veins and nobody drained it from him. Katherine started to grow old quickly only after Silas has drained the cure from her. The cure has simply turned Damon into a normal human of 21 years of age. From that age he will grow old normally.

Oh, another thing. Damon may appear OOC in later chapters sometimes but it's because he's how I imagine him to be as a human. He will not go back to be like he was in 1864 of course but since he's now a human, he will certainly be different than how he was as a vampire. Remember that when Aria meets him, he will have made peace with his life as it is now - he will be pretty content with it actually -, so he will be less 'self-destructive' in his behavior as compared with how he is in the TV Show. Especially because he doesn't need to fight with his 'murderous instincts' every hour of every day like he needed to when he was a vampire. And he will not be a 'man-whore' either like he usually ends up being when he sports a broken heart. Still, he will be the same sarcastic, snarky Damon that we all know and love.

Disclaimer: I'll say this only once. I don't own 'The Vampire Diaries' or 'Pretty Little Liars', nor any of their characters. I'm not gaining money by writing this story.

LIE TO ME

"If you don't love me - lie to me
'Cause baby you're the one thing I believe
Let it all fall down around us, if that's what's meant to be
Right now if you don't love me baby - lie to me"

(Lie to Me - Bon Jovi)

Prologue

"Sometimes I hate, the life I made
Everything's wrong every time.
Pushing on, I can't escape
Everything that comes my way
Is haunting me, taking its sweet time."

(Narcissistic Cannibal - Korn)

Mystic Falls(VA), Salvatore Boarding House - 2006

Damon looked at the fireplace in front of him with a brooding look that better suited his brother, sipping from a glass of bourbon. He didn't exactly know how to react to what had happened. Part of him was so angry at Elena for what she had done, even if he understood why she had done it. He knew he would have done the same in her situation, after all he would do anything to save her life, even go against her wishes, he had already done it in the past. And Elena had done exactly that. Because if there was something he had learned since Elena had become a vampire was that she was much more similar to him that even she wanted to admit. But this? How was he supposed to cope with this? Becoming human was a fate worse than death for him.

"Damon..." Elena's hesitant voice came from his right. He turned around to look at her but he didn't speak. "I'm sure it won't be so bad. You will just need time to get used to it..." Not even her seemed convinced of what she was saying.

"Hum, even assuming that I'll get used to be human, that I'll end up liking it." He answered with a snort. "Then what? I'll spend a handful of years with you and then I'll lose you when I'll be too old and sick and miserable and you will still be you." He stopped for a second, trying to calm his breath, then he continued, voice raising with every word out of his mouth. "If you think, for one minute, that I can live in a town full of supernatural beings, as a weak and fragile human, and watching you every day, staying the same as you are now while I become older and older, then you don't know me at all."

"Then what was I supposed to do? Let you die?" Elena screamed back at him, appearing angry.

"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted. I wanted that cure for you. For you to have everything that you ever wanted. I never wanted to be human. I was happy as a vampire and I would have been happy dying as a vampire. I would rather have died than becoming human like you forced me to become. I'd rather die right now than spend my last final years remembering how good I had it and how happy I was Elena, because that's who I am and I'm not going to change and I will certainly not apologize for it."

"Okay, fine. I'm not going to apologize either for having saved your life, because I would have never let you die, because that's who I am and because I love you!" Elena ended up shouting the last part but Damon couldn't bring himself to look at her. He closed his eyes in pain, because until a few hours ago he would have given everything to hear Elena say those words to him but now, it was only a reminder of what he couldn't have. He shook his head before turning to look at her. "And I love you, you know that. But it doesn't change anything. It doesn't change the situation I'm in..."

Elena looked at him, her face reflecting her fear clearly. "What are you saying?"

"I'm leaving Mystic Falls tomorrow." He said with finality in his voice. There was no room for doubt in his mind, he had already decided and not even Elena could have changed his mind.

"No, Damon..." She came closer to him and took his free hand in hers. "Please, you can't leave. We will find a solution, we always do."

Damon shook his head at her. "There's no solution this time. No way to fix this. I need to leave, build a life of my own, without you or Stefan or anyone else from my past. If I have to learn how to cope with being human, I'll do it alone. Without you in it. I'm sorry Elena, but it's over. For good this time. I always thought we were never meant to be together, I guess this just confirms it." He turned his face away, not having the courage to see her eyes full of tears or the heartbreak in her face that reflected his. He almost imagined he could feel his heart breaking, perceive the cracks in it like it was a physical thing. Believing Katherine was dead or finding out that she wasn't in the tomb was nothing compared to this. The only time he had come close to feel pain such as what he was feeling in that moment was when he had believed Elena had died. Of course then he had actually found out that Elena was in transition and that he hadn't lost her forever after all but from this, there was no going back. In a way what he was feeling was even worse that what he had felt then because the idea of Elena living her life without him, of her being happy without him, was even worse than him living without her. Of course he knew that those thoughts were selfish but he had never denied the fact that he was, in fact, a selfish being. He wasn't the 'bad brother' for nothing after all, was he? Becoming human hadn't changed that, nor it had changed in the slightest what he felt towards Elena.

He didn't know what he would do from now on, where he would go from there. The only thing he was certain of was that he couldn't leave Mystic Falls fast enough. There was nothing for him there now, not anymore. He felt like he had survived just to lose everything he had in the process. He had a real life in front of him for the first time in 150 years and the only thing he wanted was to return to be dead.

"Got a secret
Can you keep it?
Swear this one you'll save
Better lock it in your pocket
Taking this one to the grave
If I show you then I know you won't tell what I said
'Cause two can keep a secret if one of them is dead"

(Secret - The Pierces)

Rosewood(PA), Hastings' Barn - 2009

It was Labor Day and four pretty girls of about fifteen were celebrating the last day of freedom before the end of the summer and the beginning of the new school year while a storm was raging outside. They were having fun, drinking and laughing while listening to the music blazing from the stereo. One of them was tall, an athletic physic with dark eyes and dark hair pulled back in a braid, Asian features and a sweet and shy expression on her face. Another was tall and thin, with long brown hair and brown eyes, with a face that somehow made her appear older than what she actually was, personality reflected by the clothes she wore, that somehow gave her a sophisticated appearance: a plaid pullover that covered a white t-shirt paired with blue jeans. The third one was petite, with long, dark chocolate hair, an heart shaped face and hazel eyes. Her clothes were in a rocker style that seemed to suit perfectly the pink stripes in her hair. The last one was blonde - her hair in a ponytail - with blue eyes and a self-conscious expression on her face probably due to the few pounds she had in excess, her body covered by large and comfortable clothes.

Suddenly the music stopped and the lights got turned off. The four girls looked at each other, confused and a little scared.

"Whoa, what happened?" The Asian girl asked.

"It must be the storm." The girl with the plaid sweater answered while using a lighter to light a few candles. The girl with the pink stripes turned a flashlight on to see a little better the dark space around her. "Something's out there." She whispered when they heard a strange creaking noise coming from outside. The four of them got up from the folding chairs they were sitting on a moment before. They walked slowly towards the door of the barn, staying close to each other. "Guys." The blonde girl whispered with a tone of fear on her voice. They approached the door slowly when they suddenly heard a glass shattering and they screamed.

A moment later a slender girl came into sight, a mischievous smile on her face, wearing a new yellow top. She had blue eyes and blonde hair that curled at the ends. She was the obvious leader of their little group. The four girls screamed and the girl that had just arrived smiled at them. "Gotcha" She said with a smug tone, satisfied that she was able to scare them.

The girl with the plaid sweater said "That's so not funny, Alison!" She laughed but she didn't seem particularly happy with her friend.

The blonde girl with the yellow top didn't seem to notice "I thought it was hilarious, girls".

They laughed together anyway, following their leader's example. They settled down on sofas and went back to what they were doing, drinking and having fun.

"Ali, did you download the new Beyoncé?" The chubby girl asked the other blonde girl.

Alison smiled at her "Not yet"

The Asian girl looked at Alison with obvious admiration on her face "I'm loving her new video" She said, almost seeking her approval.

Alison smirked back at her "Maybe a little too much, Em" She said with a hidden meaning that it was fortunately understood only by Emily. Emily stopped smiling and looked at her knees for a few seconds in embarrassment.

Alison passed the glass she was holding to the girl next to her, the one with the pink stripes in her hair.

"Your turn. Go on." She said, almost daring her to drink. The girl looked a little uncertain for a few seconds before taking a long sip of the drink inside.

"Careful, Aria" The girl with the plaid sweater said with a laugh to the other girl "Take too much, and you'll tell us all your secrets" The other girls laughed at that.

"Friends share secrets. That's what keeps us close." Alison interjected with a smile towards Aria "Drink up"

§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§

Aria awoke in the barn a little time later, surprised that she had fallen asleep in the first place. She looked around her and noticed only Emily and Hanna there. She shook Emily's shoulder to wake her, thing that Emily did a few seconds later. The two of them woke Hanna up, next.

"Where are Ali and Spencer?" Hanna asked, still groggy from sleep.

Aria shook her head at her question "We don't know"

Aria got up first and went to the door, Emily and Hanna following behind. Spencer appearead a few seconds later.

"Ali?" Aria asked Spencer, not seeing Alison with her.

Spencer shook her "She's gone"

Aria looked at her confused and a little worried "What do you mean she's gone?"

Spencer's upset expression was evident for everyone to see. "I've looked everywhere for her. I think I heard her scream."

The four girls looked at each other, not having any idea what to say or do. Their friend was gone.
