Vengeance and Lust

Her name was Grace, and she had it too. Her hips swung as she walked down the halls of Robert E. Lee high school. Her brilliant green eyes darted from face to face under her dark glasses. Stefan Salvatore, she thought. It had been rumored in the shadows that he had killed Katherine…or at least his fiancé had. She was here for one reason and one reason alone. Vengeance. She will avenge Katherine.

A boy with beefy hands and rather decipherable veins stopped in front of her. He gave her a pointy toothed grin, and ran a hand through his hair.

"Hey beautiful, what's your name?" he asked.

"Un interested," she replied coldly, and brushed passed him. Her long blond hair hung loose against her back. She had not let it grow out like Katherine had, but it was still as silky and smooth as ever.

"Grace," a soft voice came from down a deserted hallway. She peered down it, squinting.

"How did you know?" she asked suspiciously. He tapped his temple.

"He didn't kill the one you wish to avenge. Elena Gilbert did. But you cannot kill her."

"Why not?" She jutted out her chin arrogantly. A shiver was sent up Damon's spine. He found it…pleasant.

"Because. She's mine. No matter who she's with."

"Do I sense a love triangle here?" Damon's jaw set. "To bad I have to dismantle it. I'm sorry." Her voice dripped with sarcasm. "Your going to loose your precious little Elena." She pivoted, and stalked away. Damon watched her swinging hips until they were out of his sight.

"Then again," he said to himself, "Maybe I can live without Elena. Perhaps I have found someone else…"
