A/N: I've been writing this one in an old compostion book between trying to finish Chloe King stories off in my head with the perfect endings and the start of my new story Whatever It Takes. Now, some background information I haven't really said. Guys, I'm 14 (turning 15 in 11 days) and I have High School to deal with and a stack of homework. I can't finish off stories in between that unless you guys want me to fail and get grounded :(. I have been writing in my spare time but not typing the things up. SORRY for that too. My Chloe Kings sort of have dead ends at the moment because I've moved on to more exciting stories. h2o: Just Add Water (I had a great idea for one of those) and Vampire diaries.
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Diaries, if I did Elena and Damon would be together and Katherine and Stefan would be together. And If I owned Damon, God... I'd take over the world.
Setting: This is in Mystic Falls before Stefan meets Elena
Side-comment: Stefan hasn't met Elena yet, Damon and Stefan both want Katherine still. Elena is Katherine's Identical cousin and is adopted by the Gilbert's (and then they die, and she moves in with Jenna... and so on and so forth Jenna doesn't know she's a vampire, Jer does.) Bonnie's a witch, her grandma is still alive and I do not plan on killing her but you never know.
Intro:
"What are you doing here Damon? You hate small towns there's nothing for you to do" Stefan looked at Damon who seemed hell-bent on staying no matter what his brother said or did. The tension in the room seemed to swell with Damon's attitude as he just circled his brother looking for weak points, or just taunting him.
"I want answers" Damon sighed after awhile of making Stefan stand on edge "And something tells me you want the same, or you wouldn't be here" Damon knew he was right, and he would use that on Stefan in the long run. This was the place the brothers had grown up at, and then died. Most importantly, this was where they met Katherine 145 years ago to the day. "I assume you have a story"
"Zach's our uncle, you'll have to go to school" Damon snickered at the idea of actually going to school, but agreed. What was a frisky teen girl with horomones? Delightful.
"When's the big day?" Damon asked sarcastically, Stefan just rolled his eyes at his brother trying not to push him out of the house. It was very tempting but then, if Stefan did so would it make him any better? Not at all.
"Tomorrow" Stefan gritted his teeth, Damon frowned and turned on his exspensive shoes towards the door.
"I guess I need a new wardrobe" God, here we go again. There goes all of Zach's money, Stefan thought as Damon started hauling things to the biggest room across the hall. That was supposed to be a guest bedroom for high status people but no, Damon thought everything belonged to him. "Until then brother, Hasta Luego"
"Okay Damon" Stefan shut his bedroom door listening to Damon's moving of furniture and adding furniture from God knows where, he heard him humming a song. "Damon" Stefan called randomly, Damon walked into the bedroom looking at Stefan with that What now? look on his face. "Be careful" The newspaper headlines had been full of Damon/Animal attacks.
"Will do" Damon lied and went back to his room.
Chapter 1:
Damon crawled out of bed, looked at the clock, showered, got dressed and poured a glass of imported liquor. "Going to school wasted I see?" Stefan commented like a goodie boy would. Damon sneered but then plastered an unreasurring smile on his face.
"Buzzed" Damon corrected him finishing off the glass and checking himself out "Damn fine" He mumbled to himself and followed after Stefan to the not-so-fancy car. Once they were in the car Damon started playing with Stefan's radio which was playing some oldies crap. They were stuck in first day of school traffic along with road when Stefan looked over to Damon and sighed heavily.
"So how have the last 145 years gone?" Stefan asked trying to make small talk, but secretly wanting to know if Damon had any feelings what-so-ever.
"You couldn't ask me about this cold-ass weather?" Damon snapped back at him, and then turned up the radio so Stefan couldn't squeeze a word in. He made note as to take his own car to school tomorrow.
Robert E. Lee High School was down the road past the graves and the old folks homes. "Ready?" Stefan attempted one last time before giving up completely on Damon. The cheer in Stefan's eyes made Damon sick, so instead of making his usual remark he got out of the car and then looked back at Stefan.
"I don't know you" He said in a frustrated voice, and walked off towards the big sign that read office. After teen minutes of chatting and mind influence he was in the system and ready to endure high school. First, he would spot out future victims.
He walked around the school, absorbed in the premature gossop and parts of conversations.
"...I heard Tyler and Elena hooked up..."
"...I heard they got together this summer..."
"...this was my year with him..."
"...I got arrested this summer for smoking..."
He listened smirking until he foind the kids on pills and pot. A taller girl was smuggling pills in her pockets while a black haired boy gave her directions. The boy had thin skin and calling veins. He'd be easy for Damon to sink his teeth in.
"Jeremy" A scary-familiar voice called, "It's the first day of school and you're already stoned" Katherine. Dark brown straight hair, nice body that Damon remembered perfectly, flawless voice...and a heart the didn't beat. Damon got angry-was this Jeremy kid her new toy?
Damon walked right up to her and grabbed her shoulder gentlely becuase of what he remembered Katherine was really strong and could take him in a matter of seconds. "Katherine" He breathed, it wasn't the exact thing he had planned on doing. He had some manly speech prepared to tell her when he saw her. He had thought about it Drunk and Sober, he had gone from loving her to hating her to realizing she was the only one he would ever want or love.
"Um no, Elena" She pulled Damon away from the group off to the side, Damon could barely move was this some kind of sick joke? Of course that was Katherine. "And you're Stefan right? I could tell by the ring"
"Hell no" Damon said, pulling himself back into the calm and collected but slightly confused Damon.
"Damon" She apologized and continued on "My cousin is Katherine" Damon nodded, wanting to get to the point of them looking alike. "Yes, we look alike and I don't know why but I'm not her. I don't go around changing people because I can or promising them forever. I live my life as human as I can and if it makes you feel any better I'm sorry for what she put you through Damon." Why did her eyes shine so brightly to him? Why did her voice not sound like Katherine's anymore- why did it sound like angel's singing to him? Why was her straight hair smelling so good now, and why was Katherine fading away. She touched his arm reasurringly making a jolt go through him. He was stunned there, and for the second time today he said stupid words. Ones he had recited to other girls that weren't coming to him right now.
"Oh" He stood there looking down at her like that, questioning himself and anything he ever felt for Katherine. The bell rung and Elena ran off to follow her humans around, he still wanted to know who Jeremy was. Now even more than he wanted to know before.
