John Blackwell took out his cell phone and dialed a familiar number. He waited a few rings, and finally heard the other line being picked up.

"Hello?" He was hung over or the booze just beginning to wear off.

"Hello Damon." John smiled a little as he heard the sharp intake of breathe from the other line.

"John…" he started curtly, "…one moment…" With that John heard Damon running and muffling the speaker, and then he picked up again. "You still there?"

"Yeah, what was that about?" John couldn't help but wonder what was happening on the other end.

"Too many vampires, I could've been overheard- which would be disastrous, considering I'm talking to you." He could hear the contempt in Damon's voice.

But Blackwell couldn't help but laugh a little. "Ah- I did hear through the grape vine Mystic Falls had become a hub for vampires?" Leaning against the railing at the dock he sighed.

"Well you heard right." The vampire quipped. "Pleasantries aside- why did you call John? We haven't seen each other in at least five years." Damon sounded a little hurt or displeased at the least.

"Five years is not long to a vampire." John replied quick footedly.

Damon snorted, "Maybe but not to a human- a lot can happen in five years."

John could tell he was pushing Damon's patience, which was strange. Since they had been friends, neither had run out of patience when working together.

"I'll get to the point." He breathed in a good lung's fill of water side air and continued. "Amelia died, and Cassie moved in with her grandmother…" he took the silence as a sign to go on, "… in Chance Harbor."

"Damn it…" Damon cursed and John could have sworn he heard a tree being destroyed. "Has she…?"

"Yes, she found out about her magic. And her mother's book of shadows, as well as the fact she is the last heir to the Balcoin line." John could feel his internal worry seeping out a little, much to his displeasure- but Damon was a friend- sort of.

"John… look I know you never wanted Cassie to be apart of this life…" Damon began; it seemed to him like every normal human he knew was getting dragged into the Supernatural. Then quiet, "I'm sorry about Amelia."

Damon walked a little deeper into the woods... Cassie was, well had been a good friend of his, not to mention Amelia had accepted him as well. He truly had wanted Cassie to have a normal life, away from the supernatural.

"Me too." John felt himself strain, it was strange how he and Damon; two normally closed off people could admit (though often awkwardly) things that they wouldn't say to anyone else.

Damon continued, speaking heavily. "Do I need to make a visit?"

John knew exactly what his friend meant, "No. Last time I had you compel Cassie was the worse decision of my life. We practically erased the most important parts of my daughter's memories." John half growled into the phone.

"She was my friend you know, one of my closest and I hade to erase myself from her memories John. And trust me I'd rather not have to repeat that." Damon quipped back, his tone grave. Damon breathed in then out, "So why did you call- we've already been over most of this." His voice was trained.

John sighed, and began walking down the deck to where he saw his daughter and the boy Adam, on a boat. Slinking back into the shadows of the other boats, he continued. "I'm just asking you to keep your eyes peeled for any action or movements from any of the rival covens or circles." He took a second look at his daughter. "I don't want them finding out she's using her magic… her dark magic nonetheless."

Damon breathed out wearily, "I'll keep an eye out, and if I hear rumors… I'll stop them." His words were heavy with implication.

"Good." John continued to look at his daughter and that boy, he didn't like him much.

"Later John." Damon began to pull away the phone.

"Damon." John hit the end button and turned away from Cassie, walking into the night.

After Note:

Thanks so much for reading! I just wanted to have a little tid bit of a cross over, making it seem plausible that the two worlds overlapped.

A little history; Damon and Cassie became friends when she discovered magic on accident, and he then compelled her to forget everything she knew about magic and the supernatural. And there you go!

I may consider adding more but right now this was just a little thing to relieve my personal writers block.

Review & Comment! I won't know if you want another chapter just by fav's and watches!

PS/ if you like tVD crossovers check my profile ;D Thanks!
