Siena P.O.V
We had left town with Nic the same night when Damon was cured from his werewolf bite, it has been 3 months since Stefan were last in Mystic falls on this journey with Nic wanting to find werewolves. So what had happened over the three months? Well for starts Nic had turned Stefan into a ripper the worst kind of vampire there is. Some of the things I had witness Stefan do due to his deal with Nic had left me with nightmares. When Nic wasn't around, and we were left alone I would see still the same old Stefan, the guy who I met on my first day when I came into Mystic Falls. He hadn't completely gone. Some nights were terrible when I would watch him cry, how he would tell me about the victims he had killed. Stefan hated the fact that when he consumed human blood, he would black out and not remember a thing. I knew I had to be there for him, to keep him from turning into a full blown ripper. I reminding him that he still had his humanity, and not to give up that we would get out of this situation we were in. The reason we were both here was to save the life of one person, Damon.
The reoccurring nightmare I kept on having was walking in on Elena and Damon, every time I thought about it I felt my heart breaking each time. I had given up everything for him, I would never see my parents, or my friends again, because I could bear with the thought of him being dead. Even after everything, I couldn't hate him as much as I wanted to I just couldn't. I love Damon Salvatore I wish I didn't, I wanted to hate him, but a part of me couldn't let me. Elena on the other hand I could never forgive her for her actions, she was meant to be my sister, she knew how in love with Damon, but still she did that to me. No matter how many times I tried to justify her actions, I just couldn't because there was no good enough reason her kiss him dying or not. The sad thing is it wasn't all on me, but Stefan too. I couldn't tell Stefan what had happened, he was broken hearted enough knowing that he would never see her for a decade, I didn't want him to break his heart anymore because of her actions. I guess being the doppelganger of Katherine Elena picked up her traits too, by also played both of the brother's emotions just like Katherine did. I guess I always knew deep down Elena had some sort of feeling for Damon, and it was defiantly proven to me that night.
I had turned 20 a while we were on this trip with Nic, he tried to make a big deal about it I really weren't interested. What was there to celebrate? I was on the road with a guy who had ripped me away from the people I loved… Okay I know I was the one who chose to leave with him, but that wasn't the point. He was trying to be the Nic I used date, but to me that guy was dead. The guy before me was a monster. The day of my birthday Nic took me to some fancy restaurant, he really did go all out I don't know why he was trying to make such an effort, but to make my life easier I just went along with it all, which made Nic very happy. When we got back me and Stefan were sitting on a balcony of a hotel that Nic had us all stay in, we did this pretty much every night.
The first few week we spoke of Damon and Elena, but over time we found it difficult to talk about either them, and we spoke about anything that didn't remind us of what we left behind. Stefan had given me a birthday present which I really didn't expect from him, he had so much going on with trying to keep himself under control he actually remembered. He had gotten me one of those silver T-bar bracelets with a heart pendent with inscription 'She Who Is Brave Her Love Is Pure' I got quite emotional when I read it. Stefan believed that my love was pure due to my actions to save Damon that not many girls would give everything up for a guy. Damon was special and I knew that from the moment I laid eyes on him.
Stefan and I had become really close we only really had each other. Stefan just did everything that Nic asked for because of the agreement they had, I did the same, I had to make Nic trust me make him think I wouldn't do anything to define him. We had been all up and down the east coast with Nic on the search for werewolves. We finally got news of the location of some guy called Ray, we were at House in Tennessee when I saw a woman walks out of the kitchen door.
"Rudy!" She shouts then whistles. "Rudy Come on! It's too hot to make me come looking for you." She bent down and picks up a toy when she turns around to see Nic and I in front of her, she looked startled to see us.
"I'm so sorry we didn't mean to scare you." Nic spoke to her polity in an American accent, I wanted to laugh when I heard him. He actually sounded sweet and genuine, which Nic is really NOT.
"Can I help you?" She asked looking at Nic, I don't think she trust him, and she was right not to. All I hoped was that this didn't get messy like the other times.
"Yeah, my car hmm, my car ran out of gas a couple of miles back. Eh I feel like we have been walking forever, yours is the first house we come to so I was just hoping I could use your phone?" Again he spoke polity and I smiled at her, she frowned I don't think she was falling for Nic charm. This guy has been around for a thousand years and his acting skills sucked.
"Don't you have a cell phone?" I knew had to speak up , she wasn't buying Nic story hopefully she will see me being more trusting.
"Huh, yeah." I showed her my phone. "My battery died, this jack ass here—" I point at Nic. "—forgot his phone at home. Really what the point of you having one, if you're going to constantly leave it behind all the time." Nic chuckled and shook his head, I think he had a bit of a déjà vu moment with me yelling at him. "I've been walking in these heels for hours—" The lady looks down at my shoes then back up at me, I thought to paint Nic to be the asshole that she seems to think he is to get her on my side. "—You would thought any gentleman would carry their lady, not make them walk this far… Let me tell you something, not him." The lady began to chuckle while Nic was fighting his smile, hopefully I'm convincing her that I was trust worthy. "We just wanna use your phone, please." I told her innocently she looked at the both of us with a smile.
"Sure." We both followed her towards the house; I looked at Nic and gave him a smug look he rolled his eyes, it had been proven I was the better actress.
"Soo, I can come in?" Nic questioned, she turned around to look at him a little taken back he was really pushing it. Nic really had no tactic what so ever.
"No, I'll get the phone, and I'll bring it out to you." Nic really didn't look impressed, and step back I knew that Mr Nice guy was gone.
"I thought you country folks were supposed to be more trusting." He spoke as she was about to open her door.
"I'm from Florida." She was about to step in the house, looked over at Nic and I could see him clenching his jaw, he was about to go all hybrid on him I knew it.
"Well, that explains it." He spoke in his normal accent before grabbing her throat and begin to compel her. "Now show me a little southern hospitality. Sweet pea." I hated when he done things like this, she was innocent in all of this, and he always had to abuse his power.
"Nic!" He looked at me with a smile, which annoyed me like he actually thinks I wouldn't say anything about the way he was behaving. Yes I'm forced to be here but it didn't mean I accept the way he treated people in this way.
"Love I was trying to be nice for you, but she wasn't buying any of it. I thoroughly enjoyed your performance brought back a few memories." He still had a tight hold of the lady throat as he spoke. There wasn't no talking to him, I was wasting my breath to think that he had any form of humanity. He compelled her to let us into the house; I heard some noise that came from the kitchen, great there someone else was here.
"I bet you a hundred dollars that dog ran off to a house with air conditioning." Another lady spoke as she turns around and sees the lady that Nic compelled, and the both of us as we enter the kitchen. "What's going on?" She asked a little alarmed looking at all three of us I just hope things don't get too messy now.
"Please don't be alarmed. I was told Ray Sutton lives here." She looked at him frowning it looks like she trusted him either. Was I the only one who was fooled by his angelic face?
"He's almost never here. He's on the road mostly." She spoke nervously while looking at me, I hated coming along to these interrogations, because always I knew how it was going to end.
"But I expect he makes it home, once a month." Her face looked surprised, Nic was smirking now. "That's what I thought. Where is he now?" She didn't answer which wasn't going to go in her favour. "If I have to make you tell me, it's going to be infinitely more painful for you. Hmm." She looked at him for a long moment before running of the kitchen, I saw her opens the front door but in the doorway stood Stefan blocking her. This was the part I hated.
"Aaaah!" She screams from seeing Stefan, Nic and the other woman began to walk up behind her.
"I love it when they run!" Nic spoke smugly while I stood in the door way of the kitchen. I notice Stefan looking at me, I did like it when I saw him being force to be Nic puppet, by doing all of the dirty work.
"He's in Toll It's near the border a bar called Southern Comfort. It's on Highway 41." Nic looked really please now with the information given to him.
"Thank you my love." He touches the first lady who he had compelled. "Now, may my friend come in?" I knew what was going to happen, and I needed to get hell out of here, I've seen far too much of this over the last three months.
"Can I leave?" Nic looked over at me with a smile at first, then his expression changed I saw a little compassion in his eyes. I think Nic finally came to realise that I hated see stuff like this.
"Yes love, wait outside for us." I took and deep breathe and began to walk towards the front door, I looked at the two women I knew what their fate was going to be. Stefan step to one side to let me by, when I looked at him his face was filled with no emotion, he was in puppet mode. I shook my head and walked out to the front of the house where the car was that Stefan had driven here.
I hated all of this seeing innocent people die. For what? So that fucking ass hole to build his stupid hybrid army! I hated Nic so much, but like he said I'm a pretty good actress, he really did believe that I was slowly warming up to him. I felt a sharp pain going across my head, I clutched to my head in hopes it would lessen the pain, but it kept getting worse. My vison became a blur, I felt like I wanted to be sick, my legs couldn't hold my weight no longer. I felt myself drop to the ground hitting my head on the hard concrete.
Vision….
I was in the boarding house, I was in 'mine' and Damon bedroom I saw someone by the closet as I went closer I saw that it was Damon pinning something to the side of the door.
"They moved on to Tennessee." Damon spoke as he pinned a piece of paper to what seemed like the map of the USA, what was he doing?
"Huh, that fluttered victim you had me looking in to have family in Tennessee." I turned to see Andie Star sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Which one? Pensacola?" Andie gets up from the bed and fixing her scarf round her neck, there was bite mark from where Damon had obviously been drinking from her. That asshole not only he locks lips with my goddamn sister now his hooked up with slutty Andie Star, guess I didn't mean a damn thing to him.
"Aha." She responded, finishing tying up the scarf.
"Up for a road trip?" Was Damon out of his freaking mind! He was trying to trail us!
End of Vison….
I felt someone shake me I opened my eyes and Nic was hovering over me looking worried. God I wished this was all a bad dream and it was Damon who in front of me. I tried to process everything I had just seen, it was clearly a vision I hadn't had one since I had the one about Damon werewolf bite. Now the fool is getting himself back endanger by searching for us, did Damon Salvatore have a death wish? Because if he finds us it shouldn't be Nic he should be worried about it should be me as I plan to kick his goddamn ass for that I just seen.
"Love…Siena…." He spoke as he sat me up. "What happened? I came out and found you on the ground, I've been trying to wake you for last 5 minutes." Nic voice full of concern, why is he trying to be caring now? When he was just in there brutally murdering those innocent women.
"I'm fine Nic I just hadn't eaten today." I told him while he helped me up, he didn't look convinced with that lie. "Ok I miss my parents. I haven't spoken or seen them in months that the reason, okay. I'm depress that's why I haven't been eating." He looked at me sceptically, I knew he going to bring Damon up he always did.
"Mhmm…. Your parents. Are you sure you don't mean the older Salvatore instead?" He asked glaring at me seeing of my reaction, yes I missed my parents but god did I miss Damon over the last three months, but right now all I wanted to do was kick his vampire ass. I couldn't let Nic know what had really happened here that I have some kind of vision come to me.
"Yes Nic my parents, you know those two people who brought me up. I don't know why you bring Damon into everything, I knew what I was doing when I made this deal with you. I won't be seeing him again I accepted that when I made the deal." I watched as his face began to soften before looking at me intensely for a few seconds. I don't want him to flip out at me.
"Siena you have not given me any reason to question your loyalty to me. So out of gesture of good will I'm going allow you to go, and see your parents." This had to be some kind of test, Nic wouldn't just let me leave like this would he? "You may leave tonight, and come back in a few days, but remember Siena I'm trusting you, and trusting people isn't a thing I do likely." He seemed sincere as he spoke he reminded me of the man I knew all them years ago, but Nic like to play mind games so I couldn't accept this so called kind gesture.
"Nic you don't have to do this. I made a deal." This was the only way I knew to see if he was being genuine with me, I didn't know him anymore he certainly wasn't the guy I dated no longer, all I've seen in the last three months was a monster.
"Siena I'm giving you an opportunity here. You haven't been yourself, so if you seeing your family and friends will bring back the Siena I once knew. Then I would like you to go and see them." He spoke softly as he looked into my eyes. He was actually being serious? Nic trusted me and he was going to let me go, and expected me to return.
"Thank you Nic." I didn't know what else to really say to him, because I was literally speechless in how much trust he had with me.
"I know this isn't your choice for you to be here, as much I do try and convince myself you are here because you want to." He placed his and on my cheek. "Please go and see your parents, take the car." He placed the keys into my hand. "Siena, I'm trusting you." I nodded my head he step forward and kissed me on the forehead before pulling away. I didn't know what to say this was the last thing I expected for him to do, I was totally speechless. He opened the car door and I step in to the driver's seat and he closed it I rolled down the window.
"I really appreciate this Nic, thank you" Maybe there was a piece of the old Nic still in there. "I take everything back, maybe you aren't a complete ass hole." He chuckled, I half expect him to flip maybe his trying not to be such a monster to me anymore.
"I will call you a couple in a days before your due to come back to tell you where we are." I nodded as I turned on the engine, I just wanted to leave before he changed his mind. "Siena… enjoy this time with your family." I gave him a half smile and began to drive off. Seriously what had just happened? Nic had let me go? I knew whenever I got a vision it wasn't a good sign, there only one place I need to go, and that was back to Mystic Falls. Not matter what I had to remain strong, because I'm about to see the two people who have hurt me most in this world.
Elena P.O.V
It had been three months since Stefan and Siena had left with Klaus, Damon and I tried to contact them on their phones they never answered, after a while there phones were out of service. I still can't forget that night when Siena slapped me for kissing Damon, it was a goodbye kiss I thought Damon was dying. I loved Stefan, I don't have any of those feeling towards Damon. The look on Siena face haunts me till this very day, the face of betrayal, her sister and the man she loves, I don't blame her acting the way she did. She gave up everything to save Damon to bring the cure, and she walked in on that an innocent kiss. Then there was Stefan who did the same gave up everything to save Damon, god I missed him so much I just wanted to be in his arms. I'm guess he hates me now I'm sure Siena would have told him what happened. I never wanted to hurt him, and I will never got the chance to explain what I did that it was a goodbye kiss. The only thing I knew I had to do was find Siena and Stefan, and somehow get them back home regardless if they are both mad at me. I will not let them live their lives like this being under Klaus control.
I was still in bed I sat up climb out of bed then walked over to the window I pulled the curtains wide open, the sunlight busted into the room. I had enough of the doom and gloom and today was my 18th birthday I'm meant to be happy. Well I don't see that happening, I walked through the shared bathroom into Jeremy room. He was still sleeping, I walked over to his window pulled the curtains in his room too it was time for my little brother to wake up and not sleep the day away like he has been.
"Aaahh! Early. Bad!" He moaned putting a pillow over his face, he seemed little better these days. He always asked if I heard from Siena, Jeremy really missed her they built a good relationship after Jenna and John passing, he really looked up to her. None of them knew about the night of her walking on me and Damon kissing, and I wanted to keep it like that for now. I couldn't deal with the disapproving conversations along with the looks.
"Ahh It's not early" I walked up to bed and pulls his cover off, I didn't want him to fall into a slum like he did before when Vicky and Anna died.
"You're late, for work. Matt just called." I told him as I began to walk out of the room, as I needed to get my own life in order like finding more leads on Stefan and Siena.
"Well, maybe he'll fire me." He spoke with hope in his voice.
"Aim high" I told him while I walked out of the door. I went downstairs to the kitchen to make some breakfast I put the coffee on and looked at my phone, I went to Caroline number and called her. After a few rings he picked up.
"Hey Birthday girl!" I wasn't in the mood for birthday cheers today, what was there to really celebrate? My boyfriend cross country with a psychopath along with my sister there was nothing to be happy about.
"What are you doing?" Maybe she and I could hang out, Bonnie was with her family out of town all summer so Caroline and I spent most of our time together.
"Just shopping for the party you're trying to bail out on." I began to butter my toast, I didn't want the party it was Caroline who insisted on having the party nothing to do with me.
"I never said yes in the first place." Which I didn't. I didn't want to celebrate my 18th without Stefan and Siena not being here, how was I meant celebrate when two important people weren't here to celebrate it with me.
"You were never going too, which is why I planned it anyway. And my mom wants you to call her." I hoped her mom had better leads, the ones I had given to Damon didn't lead us nowhere.
"Did she find something?" I needed something anything, I just need some hope that they were both still alive.
"An animal attack in Memphis. It's the third one this week in Tennessee." I wasn't sure if it would be them, maybe it was a genuine animal attack.
"And you're sure it's a vampire?" Ric came into the kitchen we both looked at each other, and then he walked over to make himself a coffee. He had been a little quiet since Jenna passing, it really had affected him, but I was happy that he stayed here with us after Siena leaving town.
"Yes, but that doesn't mean that it's Klaus." Caroline was trying to knock the one good lead I had and I didn't need it, not today of all days.
"Doesn't mean it's not—" I went round the counter; pushing Rick out of the way. "—I'll call her." He looked at me giving me a weak smile, he was really concern about Siena too. He hadn't just been supporting us but Damon too, throughout the three months. I don't know what I would of done if he wasn't here.
"Well call her on her cell." The Sheriff had been so helpful with all that had gone on, her concern was to make sure that Stefan and Siena returned home safely. "Alright. Well, I gotta go. I'll see you in a bit." I wanted to make one thing clear to her about this party that I'm seriously not wanting to happen.
"Oh, Caroline wait, just... keep tonight small. Please." I didn't want party in first place at least she could keep it small, I didn't want a big thing like I had told her many times I didn't even want this party.
"Wear something pretty." She hangs up on me, I sighed staring at my phone, she wasn't going to give up and I know when I go there tonight Caroline would of made it a big event.
"Eehm!" I looked up and Ric was tidying his bed which was the couch, I really hated the fact he stayed on there when we had a perfectly empty room upstairs. "Was that eh... Stefan and Siena news?" He asked looking at me with a little hope in his eyes, he really was fond of Siena. A few months before she left town they had gotten pretty close Ric really did care for her a lot.
"Could be more Klaus victims." I told him while putting down my coffee cup.
"You certain they are both still with him?" He asked walking into the kitchen; I went over to sink and poured my coffee down, I couldn't think that Klaus may have done something to either of them. I wouldn't be able to deal with the fact they may be dead.
"Easy to be certain, when the alternative is that they are dead." There was silent for a few moments, as we both exchanging a look."Are you sure you're still okay on the couch?" It was really bothering me I wanted Ric to feel at home and that was not comfortable to sleep on.
"Yeah, Yeah, I'm good." I picked up the two coffee cups from the side that I just made; I needed to convince him maybe to move into the room upstairs.
"Because you spent half the summer on it." I walked over to him. "If you need your own bedroom?" I hope he would move upstairs so he felt more at home.
"Eeeh, sleeping in your dead parent's room or my dead... girlfriend's room. Nah." I kind of understood where he was coming from, I didn't think of it like that.
"Alright." I gave him a cup of coffee. "Got it." I started to walk away from him as I needed to find out more about this lead.
"Hey Elena—" I turned to look at him "—Happy Birthday" I gave him a half smile, there wasn't anything really to be happy about today.
"Thanks." I went up to my room, I had to call Caroline mom, I hoping whatever news she had would be good. The best birthday present would be to have my sister and boyfriend back and I hope this could be the one lead that will make that happen.
Damon P.O.V
These 3 months since Stefan and Siena have gone have been hell for me, I have been looking everywhere for them, but there seem to be a bit of a pattern. They were going up and down the east coast, I don't know what the hell Klaus was having them doing, but they left a lot of dead bodies behind. What worried me mostly is that Klaus could not only compel Siena, but also Stefan to do god knows what. Every day I woke up and turn to my left expecting to see her, and she was never there it always left me broken hearted, I wanted her back I needed her back. I will not give up till I have them both back here, they gave everything up so I would live, and I will go to the ends of the earth to find them and bring them back. What sadden me was I still have that image of Siena when she walked into the room and saw Elena kiss me. My princess was hurt by what she saw, I could literally see her heart breaking. I didn't want Elena to do that. Elena was in love with Stefan she had chosen him a long time ago, and I accepted that, I had to. I thought there would never be anyone else, but then I met Siena and fell deeply in love with her. She was my world; she bought out a side of me that I really thought was dead a long time ago. I never met a woman who I could drop all my barriers down, and be myself with. She really loved me for me, and I love her for that she accepted me for what I'm, even after what Katherine had done to me. I never love again, but Siena was something special and I'm not prepared to let her go.
Till this day I was and still I'm confused why Elena did what she did, I couldn't understand the reason behind it, and I didn't want to really question her about either. I had to focus on finding my brother and my girl that was my priority nothing else matted to me. Andie had been helping me well I say helping more like compelling, but she didn't take much persuading really she was willing to help. With her connection at the TV station she got a lot of information. She came over this morning to see if I had any other leads. We were both in my bathroom I was taking a bath, while Andie is doing her make up in the mirror. She always did that pilling on the makeup I don't know why she didn't look any different. I began to pour myself some champagne, but the bottle is empty I'll ask her polity to get me another bottle she wouldn't say no to me.
"We're out of champagne." She turned around to look at me, I knew she felt uncomfortable with me being in the tub, but I didn't care she the one that came up here I never invited her.
"Huh. No you are out of champagne. I don't drink in the morning." She blushed slightly as she spoke, maybe I should have been a little nicer.
"Well would you be a dear and get—" I spoke to her sweetly rather than compel her, but she cut me off before I could finish what I was about to say.
"I think you can probably get it yourself. I'm not your slave." She was a little feisty this morning, when did she gain a back bone over night?
"Hmm…" I got out of the bathtub and began to walk across the room naked; I knew this would embarrass her, and I know she been wanting a piece of me since the day she was introduced to me by Jenna.
"I mean, you're dripping a little" She spoke all flustered, while going bright red in the face. Well maybe next time she would just go I did ask nicely.
"Mmhmh…" I walked out of my room, and I heard Elena come into the house, she came here a hell of a lot wanting to know if I had found out anything, and it was getting rather annoying now. I went up behind her. "Good morning." I told her with a smile standing with my hands behind my back in all my glory.
"Hey I was gonna—" She turns around, see me naked, I smirked at her, she shouldn't just come in unannounced hopefully it will teach her a lesson. "OH!" She turns back around again so her back to me, I had to hold my laughter in. "You heard me! You knew that I was here." Of course I knew it was her, but it don't mean she can't use a door bell to announce herself. Hopefully this has taught her a lesson to use it next time.
"Yeah, you should learn to knock. What if I was...indecent?" She puts one hand over her eyes and with the other hand she grabs a blanket that was on the arm chair, and she throws it to me. She turns around, but still with one hand over her eyes, I found this amusing. I put the blanket around me and Elena peeks between her fingers to make sure I had covered up, she saw that then she drops her hand from her eyes.
"Sheriff Forbes gave us another location to check." She pulls out a note. "Memphis." Elena with her hopes of getting that little closer in finding Siena and Stefan, she gave me to the note.
"Another dead end you mean." She didn't seem happy with my response, but I had to keep her facing reality that it not that easy to find them both.
"You don't know that." I walked up to her and looked into her eyes I could see that all this was getting to her that she wasn't going to give up until we found them.
"You're right, Elena. This could be the one. After almost three months this could be the one clue that tells us that Stefan and Siena are alive and well and living in Graceland." She took the note back from me, well Miss Gilbert didn't like to hear that but I was stating the truth.
"Fine, I'll go by myself." She starts to walk away from me, I can't let her do that she might get herself killed, I intercepted her, and took the note off her.
"Right, and let Klaus know you're tracking him he thinks you're dead; let's keep it that way." I don't know what Klaus would do if he knew she was alive, but I'm pretty sure he would be pissed.
"It's a new lead Damon; we haven't had one in a while." I really didn't want her to go or get hurt, I couldn't let anything happen to her I owed that to Stefan.
"Okay, I'll check it out If I find anything I'll call you." She didn't seem happy about it, I think she assumed I would bring her with me that would never happen.
"But—" I had walked away from her, I went up to my room I heard her leave not long after, I walked in to my room and opens my closet door. I had a map and a lot of notes of the locations where they had been spotted. I pined the new note up on the map.
"They moved on to Tennessee" I told Andie as she walked into the bedroom, they were looking for something I could see from the trail they were leaving, but what were they looking for.
"Huh, that fluttered victim you had me looking in to have family in Tennessee." I couldn't remember I had given her so many leads.
"Which one? Pensacola?" I turned to her to see that she was fixing her scarf round her neck from where I've been drinking from her. It was a little agreement we had, she really didn't mind and it was the only thing that kept me from going on a full on rampage since Siena has been gone.
"Aha." She responded, finishing tying up the scarf then looked at me.
"Up for a road trip?" Andie wouldn't mind a little alone time with me, even though she knew that my heart belonged to Siena.
"Ha, no can do, I've got to work. But I can see if I can get you an address. See you at the party." She spoke as she walked out of the door.
"Get me that address." I hope this lead was going to be the one that get me closer to finding the both of them. What the hell are they doing in Tennessee? Well I will find out soon enough.
Stefan P.O.V
Klaus had let Siena go to see her family for a few days, if she had any sense she wouldn't come back at all. I notice the more time Siena spent with Klaus the more he was being more compassionate towards her. I had seen how he looks at her and you can clearly see that he still loved her, and when Damon would get brought up in conversation he really didn't like it. You could see the jealously in his eyes. Even for her birthday he took her out, Siena told me he had brought her to some fancy restaurant he was being like a gentleman to her, he was acting like the guy used to date. I know Siena didn't fall for it, she loved Damon far too much to just go back with Klaus, and she really did put up a good act in front of him. At nights when we were left alone we spoke a lot about how we both felt about this situation that we were both in. I could understand why Damon fell in love with her, she was a great girl, she had many of Elena qualities but she was more out spoken, but I could see her being away from Damon was tearing her apart.
Klaus was driving us to the Southern Comfort bar that the lady back in the house in Tennessee told us about that where we could find Ray Sutton. He love the fact that I was becoming the ripper once again. The reason I hadn't gone full blown ripper yet was because of Elena, Siena and Damon. The three people who were important to me, Siena being here helped me a lot, even though she had seen me do some things that would give anyone nightmares. But she still spoke to me the same as she always did. Siena kept me from totally losing my humanity, by reassuring me that we would walk away from this. We would see Elena and Damon again. Klaus parked up and we both got out of the car and began to walk towards the bar, we walked in and they place was pretty full. I'm just hoping this isn't another dead end and we finally find this guy.
"What's up Ray?" The bartender asked, well we were in the right place. Klaus looked at me with a smile, god I hated this guy I really didn't know how Siena dated him for so long.
"Hey Red, get me a beer." Klaus comes up next to Ray, well everything is about to begin now and hopefully searching high and low around the country for werewolves will stop now.
"Ray? Ray Sutton?" Ray began to frown as he looked at Klaus, he probably wondering what the hell he was.
"Who wants to know?" He asked a little cockily, I walked over to and began to compel the bar not to notice what we were about do to Ray. This became a routine while I've been with Klaus I needed to cover my tracks, I had heard that Damon had been tracking us.
"I've been looking everywhere for you we started in Florida, Pensacola. I met a young chap there who you used to work with before you moved to Memphis, now he directed me to two lovely young women. And they led me here, to you." Klaus stood there smirking while Ray looked a little worried now.
"I think I'll be going." He tries to go but Klaus stops him, look like I may be needed over there now.
"Not so fast mate. You only just got here, now your type are very hard to come by." Ray tries to walk the other way, but I stood there and stops him. Looks like I have to do my job now and make him tell us where his pack is.
"I wouldn't do that." He looked nervous now, I pushed him back; he looked at me a little disgusted.
"Vampires." Well he was a bright spark!
"Swiftly swift Ray. Yes my friend here is a vampire, he compelled everybody in the bar so don't look to them for any help. I however, I'm something else, a different kind of monster. I've got some vampire, I've got some wolf." Klaus was always proud to announce that he was a hybrid, it was a scare tactic and it was working because Ray looked terrified
"You what?" Klaus is the first and only hybrid I guess word hasn't got around yet.
"A hybrid Ray, I'm both you see I want to create more of me, now you being the first werewolf that I've come across in many a moon, pun intended Ray. I need you to direct me to your pack. So, where can I find them Ray?" Ray looked at him his face harden, I don't think he going to give up his pack that easy.
"You can't compel me, it won't work." I starts scratching my head to indicate if he wanted me to deal with it, Klaus looks at me he nodded. So I turned around and took out wolfsbane out of my back pocket I went over to the bar, look like we were going to do this the hard way.
"Can you bring out the darts please?" I asked the bar tender I looked over at Ray. "Tell you what Ray, we're gonna play a little drinking game, something I like to call truth or wolfsbane." I pulled out a pouch of wolfsbane, pours it into my hand crushing it with my fingers.
"Oh, this is gonna be fun Ray." Klaus stood there smirking, while Ray looked worried. All he needed to do is just give Klaus what he wanted and it will be done with. Something tells me he won't be telling us any time soon.
Damon P.O.V
I had roped in Ric to come with me to Tennessee, good old road trip with my buddy Ric he seemed like a better partner in crime to take alone on this trip. He seem a little better since Jenna had been killed at the hands of Klaus, he didn't really speak about her much. Then again a few times when we got drunk Ric would break down, I wished I could do something for him, take the pain away but I couldn't because that would mean I would have to compel him. That I didn't want to do to him. He was try and get me to talk about Siena on this trip, but I couldn't I didn't want to get my hopes up thinking I would see her. Ric knew I had taken it hard with her leaving, and sometimes he would speak about her I would remain dead silent. That's when he knew to stop talking. We had pulled up in front of the house, my phone starts ringing I checked the phone and then I ignored the call it as it was Elena. She probably wanted to know where I was, and I didn't really wanna be explaining to her and giving her hope.
"Elena?" Ric asked I made a face that confirmed he was right. "I don't know why you just don't come clean, and tell her where we are." Ric told me as we approached the house, Ric you really didn't get it if she knew then she get all her hopes up, she not knowing anything until it's concrete.
"Because Andie said this was a half lead, and I don't want to get her hopes up." Ric nodded I was right not telling her I didn't want to get her hopes up, I didn't even want to get mine up either. I'm dreaming of the day to have Siena back in my arms.
"Yeah, well they're all half leads, and I'm your accomplice what do you want me to say to her. I'm practically living there" Great I didn't need him going all guilty on me right now.
"Still sleeping on the couch?" I asked while looking around the front of the house, I'm surprised that he hadn't moved up into the free room.
"You know, I keep waiting for them to kick me out but they don't, I don't know why, it's not like I'm helping or anything." I know this sounds rude but I didn't care right now about the living arrangement at the Gilbert house, my only interest was to find my brother and Siena.
"Mm-mm." I moaned, something didn't seem right about this place.
"It's quiet." I looked at him, yeah he was right and I'm hoping that we are going to walk in on something that will indicate that Stefan and Siena had been here.
"Yeah. Too quiet." We were about to go inside, I tested the door with my foot but I was free to walk in "Oh yeah." I spoke as I walked into the house Ric came in and closes the door we looked around then we came across two bodies on the living room couch, and it looks like there was hope after all this was definitely Stefan work.
"Uuuggh. Vampire for sure." Yep he was right and one vampire name springs to my mind, it was a typical Stefan way to leave the bodies.
"Stefan, for sure." I told him looking at the 2 women on the couch looking very disfigure in the way they were placed.
"How do you know?" Ric asked confused while looking at the women, I think I better tell Ric what Stefan about when he all ripper.
"It's his signature; there's a reason they call him the ripper he feeds so hard he blacks out and rips them apart, but then when he's done, he feels remorse. It's the damndest thing—" I put my foot on one of the woman leg "—he put the bodies back together." I pushed my foot on her leg and her head falls to the floor.
"Back together?" Ric looked disturbed now, yeah it was disturbing. Stefan couldn't just feed he had to go all out it was pretty gruesome to watch.
"Definitely Stefan." Muy phone began to ring again I looked at the screen it was unknown number I answered it.
"Damon…" I recognised the voice, the voice I've been longing to hear for the last three months "Damon it's me." I felt my heart racing I hadn't heard that beautiful voice in what feels like a life time to me.
"Siena… are you ok? Where are you?" Ric looked at me stunned, I couldn't believe she had called me maybe she gotten away from Klaus and was trying to her way back to me.
"I need you to listen to me carefully. You need to stop looking for us." I wasn't taking in what she was saying, I still couldn't believe after all this time I heard her voice. "Damon do you understand you can't keep doing this." No way was I going to stop looking for them, the whole reason there in this mess is because of me.
"I'm not giving up on bringing you and Stefan home, Siena." No way in hell I'm going to let Klaus keep both of them away from me, this had been sheer torture the last three months and I wasn't going to allow more weeks and month pass by. I know I'm close in finding them and freeing them from this stupid deal they have made.
"Damon… my phone dying I have to go." What? No!
"Siena where are you? I'll come and get you." All she had to tell me is where she was and I'll be there as soon as I psychically could, I didn't want to leave her god knows where alone.
"You'll be hearing from me soon, don't worry." She hung up on me. Maybe now I had a little more hope that I would get them both back, I felt so good hearing from her knowing she was ok. Now all I need to do was bring her home and never let her go. I couldn't believe she had called me, I kept staring at my phone I couldn't even call her back because it was a blocked number. I could feel Ric looking at me I guess he wanted to know what was said, but what could I tell him? That she wanted me to stop looking. Siena knew me, and she knew that I wouldn't stop like that would never happen.
"What did Siena say?" I looked at him and place my phone in my pocket.
"She told me to stop looking for them." I was reflecting on what she told me, that she really asked me to actually stop looking for her? Did that mean that she was mad at me about the whole kiss thing?
"So you're going to listen to her?" Ric don't you really don't know me either? What's the deal with everyone around me thinking I'm just going to give up?
"What do you think?" I told him with a smirk, he shook his head.
"That's a no then, are you going to let Elena know she called?" Ric asked, while I was pouring gasoline all over the living room and over the two women. No freaking way would I do? All I got was a phone call I'll let Elena know when I have Siena and Stefan in my grip.
"Nope and Nope." Is he crazy? Like I'm going to stop because Siena told me to, and letting Elena know will just cause more problems
"What are you doing?" he asked, I was still pouring the gasoline
"Covering their tracks clearly they have no interest staying in the dark, but I do." Ric moves to give me more space, but the floor creaks, we both looked down.
"Hang on." I put the tank of gas down, and bent over and flips over the carpet and there it is a hidden door down under the floor. I open it and it's full of chains. "Well, what do you know Werewolves?" I close the door, and I lighted up a match and he threw it on the floor as I did the whole living room is on fire. So Klaus was on the hunt for werewolves, but what did he want with them, that was the question
Stefan P.O.V
We were still at the Southern Comfort bar, still Klaus wanted to know where the rest of Ray pack was but he wasn't giving in. I hated doing this if Siena was here it would be different Klaus would listen to her, and I wouldn't be so out of control either. Ray was chained to the wall; he had darts in all over his body he was in a lot of pain, he could make life a little easier if he just told us where his pack was. I was sitting at the table across the wall and dipping the darts ends in wolfsbane before throwing them at him. Klaus was just sitting next to the bar watching me looking rather amused.
"Ray, you can end this right now just tell me where your pack gathers for the full moon." I didn't wanna keep torturing him but Klaus seemed amused by my tactic.
"I can't." Of course he couldn't he wanted to protect them, but right now that didn't help him.
"I know, I know, you live by code, and all that, but see he's not gonna let me stop until you tell me. And I do whatever he says so, that's the way it goes around here." Ray seemed little more frighten after I told him I won't stop. I saw a woman walk up to Klaus, he looked a little amused so I began to listen in/
"Hello mister Klaus. I have some more information for you. You told me to tell you if I saw anything, I saw the guys spotted at the farm house." She spoke to him flirtatiously he smiled back her, I knew how she meant by 'the guy' meaning Damon. Why wasn't he giving up?
"Well thank you Claudine, you'll just tell your friends to keep up the good work or they're gonna watcher." The girl walks away and I went up to Klaus, I had to convince him that I should find Damon and tell him to stop searching for us, because if it's left to Klaus he will have him killed.
"My brother still on our trail?" I asked he didn't look impressed. Klaus didn't like Damon very much and what made him despise him more is the fact that he had stolen Siena heart.
"He's getting closer, I'm gonna have to deal with that." I grabbed his arm, I really had to convince him even more now that it would be best for me to stop Damon.
"No, no, no. Let me handle it." He sat there clenching his jaw unhappy about my suggestion.
"Why should I let you leave?" He really didn't trust me as much as she trusted Siena, I need to change that I needed to do whatever it took for Klaus to believe me.
"Cause, you'll know I'll come back." He seemed surprised by my answer, maybe he didn't believe I would, but I would because if I chose to stay in Mystic Falls not only will I be risking Damon life but Elena's too and Klaus thinks she dead.
"Do I?" He asked me sceptically, well I think I to remind him why I'm here.
"You saved my brother's life. I'm at your service I will return, you'll have to trust me like you trust Siena." He glared at me, of course he didn't like the fact I brought up about Siena.
"Ah, you sound so tedious and indentured, aren't you even having the least bit of fun?" He spoke as he pointed over to Ray with a big smile, Ray was the least of my problems I had to stop Damon.
"I'll make sure that my brother doesn't bother us anymore." I walked away, I got outside and my phone beep I got it out of my pocket and it was a new message.
Unknown: Stefan its Siena, Damon on our trail I've called him to stop following us. But he not listening to me. X
I began to reply to the message
Stefan: Where are you? Klaus knows his following us! Don't worry I'll get through to Damon. X
Damon P.O.V
I had come back from the road trip from Tennessee an hour ago, Stefan is gone all 'Ripper' none of these attacks I had been looking into were never Klaus. They were all him, Stefan had turned into Klaus personal puppet. Now with Stefan now hooked on human blood, I really don't know if we will ever get back the Stefan who left Mystic Falls few months ago. What worried me is the fact while Stefan behaving like this Siena is seeing it all, is that the reason why she got away from them. She's probably been left with nightmare of Stefan dismembering this people, knowing that made me want her in my arms that much more. She had told me that I would be hearing from her soon, I don't think I've ever looked at my phone so much, each time to see there was no missed call. Hearing her voice was like a breath of fresh air, all I needed for her to do is give me her location so I can bring her home. Then I'll deal with how I plan to get Stefan back from that half breed.
The house was filling up with teens already, why did I even agree to Caroline having the party here? Oh yeah because it's Elena 18th 'important milestone' as she put it, also to distract her from worrying over Stefan and Siena. Like a party was really going to do that. I walked into Stefan room and Elena was standing in front of the mirror, she looked beautiful in her short cream dress, with heels on, her hair was slightly curly I stood far back behind her she really looked deep in thought, she looked up and notices me.
"Don't worry I'm not gonna lose it at least not before the cake." I knew she wasn't up for this party, but she went along with it to keep everyone else happy. I think the only thing that would make this birthday perfect is to have Stefan and Siena back.
"It's your party you can cry if you want to." I spoke as I walked up to her. "Ah, Stefan Such a pack rat" I picked up a picture of Elena and Stefan, Stefan had his football jersey on and Elena was normal dress, I really did miss him I never thought I would actually say that. I put it down and looks at Elena. "I got you something. I know I promised not to buy you anything, so don't worry I didn't pay for it" I told her, she frowned.
"You stole it?" Really Elena you think I'm going to give you a stolen gift?
"No!" I took out a little box from my pocket, we stood inches apart. "Found it." It was the necklace Stefan had given to her, she began to smile I knew she would be happy to have this back.
"My necklace. I thought I'd never see it again." It was nice to actually see her genuinely smile, I hadn't seen her like that for months.
"Ric found it in his loft, thought you'd be happy to have it back." She just stood there admiring it for a long moment then looked up at me
"I am happy, thank you." Well at least I've done something right today.
"You're welcome." That was my good deed of the week, next one on my list is to bring that brother and girlfriend of mine back home.
"Can you?" She asked holding up the necklace.
"Absolutely." She turns around and pulls her hair to one side, I put the necklace on her she turns around; I offered my arm to her. "Shall we?" She takes my arm and we walk out of Stefan's room. We went downstairs where the party is going on, we walk pasted some people standing in the hallway.
"Hey Elena! Happy Birthday!" Some girl tells her, Elena gave her a smile, I knew it was all fake but at least she was trying.
"Thanks." We went over to the living room where there are a hell lot of people here; if anything gets broken I'm going to make Caroline pay. Then I saw girl going past us with a bottle in her hand, a bottle of MY finniest bourbon I stopped her.
"Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey. You don't want that." I began to compel her. "You want the cheap young stuff over by the cheap young people." She walks away and Caroline comes up to us, she looked at me hold the bottle in my hand that I just took off the teen and gave me apologetic look. Yeah she needed to control her little teen friends.
"You like? Don't answer that." Caroline said nervously, Elena arched her brow.
"This is keeping it small?" Elena asked in a serious tone, but Caroline just keeps on smiling. "What are we drinking?" Elena smiled as they walked away arm in arm. Well it looked like Elena was going to get in the party spirit. I saw Ric sitting outside, I walked out to him with the good stuff my hand. I think both of us will need it, I sat next to him on the wall and passed him the bottle, he happily took a swig from it.
"I am every parent's worst nightmare. I am the chaperon teacher from hell." He didn't need to be so hard on himself, he passed me the bottle, it's a party and unfortunately it was filled with the kids from his history class.
"I love high school parties." I smirked at him before taking a swig of the bourbon, he didn't look overly impressed.
"Isn't Andie supposed to be coming?" Ric questioned, I put the bottle down.
"10 o'clock broadcast, should be here in a little bit." I saw Elena come out that happy side had left pretty quickly, she actually looked annoyed. Well I better cheer up the birthday girl.
"Hello, Birthday Girl!" She glared at me, what the hell was wrong with her?
"Drink!" She takes the bottle from me. "Jeremy's smoking again." Really Elena it's a party, let him enjoy himself, isn't that what most teen do at these things.
"Is his stash any good?" I teased; she gives me the evil eye, oh god liven up Elena.
"You're an ass." She snaps at me then turns to Ric. "Talk to him, please. He looks up to you." She give's back the bottle and walks away, Ric trying to talk pot head Jer, he was screwed.
"You're screwed." Ric look at me shaking his head, he knew it himself that he was.
"Ahw." Before he took large gulp from the bottle, my phone beeped I took it out of my pocked and saw new message it was from Andie
Andie: Hey Damon, Can you come and get me. I'm done here xx
"Andie wants me to pick her up" I told him while I was getting up, he looked up at me arching his brow sceptically.
"Your fake, compelled girlfriend wants you to be a chivalrous boyfriend." Andie wasn't my girlfriend more of friend, who was my blood bag. My actual girlfriend is god knows where at the moment running for her life from Klaus.
"Do you recall my actually girlfriend? The one who is with hybrid pyscho. You recall that Andie been helping me find her." I think Ric knew he had crossed the line with that comment, he knew that Siena meant the world to me that I would do nothing to screw things up between us.
"Yeah, I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that. I know you're missing Siena." I actually felt lost without her it felt like I lost a limb, I just knew how to put on this great front to show otherwise to everyone. I just want her to call so I can convince her to see me, we didn't need to come back here the world was out oyster I was just happy that we would be together.
Elena P.O.V
I had enough of all this party, I had tried to enjoy myself, but how was I meant to do that with Stefan and Siena out there somewhere with Klaus doing go knows what. Everyone was pretty much enjoying themselves and me the birthday girl really wasn't, I began to look for Damon I couldn't find him anywhere in the house. So I went upstairs maybe he was in his room I knew Damon put on a front on making out he was holding it all together, but I knew that losing Siena and Stefan he had taken it badly. I just wished that one of those leads was something related to them, that we had some idea of where they were, they could be anywhere in the world. If I'm feeling like this over Stefan I know Damon just as heartbroken over Siena, I just want to make sure his okay. I walked up to his room and opened the door and walked in.
"This room's off limits!" I turned around and I saw Caroline in the bathroom, drinking from a blood bag.
"Caroline?" She really looked stressed out, what was wrong with her?
"Sorry," She told me while holding a bag of blood. "I just needed to take a beat." She puts the bag down and walks over to me. "Are you hiding?" She stood there arching her brow; I didn't need one of lectures right now.
"I was just looking for Damon." She seemed a little more relax now, I didn't want her to think that I actually hated this party with all the effort she put in.
"Well, he better be here somewhere, because we haven't even done the cake yet." Cake? Are really we were going down that route? I was in no mood to stand in front of a cake while everyone sang happy birthday badly so I could make some wish that wouldn't come true.
"I think I'm gonna pass on the whole cake thing." Caroline didn't look best pleased as soon as I told her that, I really wasn't in the party spirit. It just didn't feel right not with Stefan and Siena not being here.
"What? No, no way, no! It's your birthday! You know it's the dawn of a new day and, you can't get on with your life until you have made a wish and blown out the candles." Is that what they wanted me to do? To move on and forget about what's going on with Stefan and Siena, and move on!
"Is that what you all want me to do? Just get on with my life?" Caroline look like she regretted what she had just said, Stefan was the love of my life there was no moving on from that, and Siena was my sister I will never rest until she and he come back home.
"No... Maybe... I just don't think anyone wants to see you like this." I think I need to make myself clear about all of this, because obviously the message is getting lost in translation.
"I'm not gonna give up on finding them both, Caroline." I sat on the bed and Caroline looked a little guilty after her comment, she needed to be because if she thought for a second I would do that then she never really known me.
"Of course not, and you shouldn't, but you have to admit that you kinda just letting your life pass you by. And isn't Stefan the one who wanted to make sure that you lived it?" Caroline wasn't getting it.
"You want me to make a wish? I just wanna know that they are both alive. That's it! That's my wish!" I got up started to walk towards the door, but I saw Damon's closet door is open a little bit and something caught my eye, I walked up to it and opened it.
"I'm sorry, okay I'm just drunk and dumb tonight. Wait, what are you doing..?" I looked at the door to see all the notes I had given to Damon and maps and with articles. Damon has been searching for Siena and Stefan this whole time.
"What's all that?" She asked looking at the map, I couldn't believe it he had been going behind my back looking for them and not telling a thing.
"It's Klaus. Damon's been tracking him without me." How could Damon do this to me? Making me think there was no hope and he had evidence that each of those leads were connected to them.
"Why wouldn't he just tell you?" Caroline asked I looked at her that was the million dollar question.
"I don't know." I will be asking him about it.
"Awwwe is little sis, being left out of the loop." I turned around to see Siena standing right in front of us; she looked a little different, the way she was looking at me all I could see was anger.
"Siena…" She looked at me with evil glint in her eye. If Siena was here maybe Stefan was too maybe they had come home… maybe my wish had come true.
Damon P.O.V
I had left the house to make my way to pick up Andie I just hope the place don't get trashed while I was gone, well I had Ric looking out for his students. He really pissed me off with the whole 'Andie is my girlfriend' I could never replace Siena; no one could ever take her place she was the only woman I would want to spend the rest of my days with. After hearing from her today I had a lot more hope that I would find her, I'll be able to explain to her about that night. That it didn't mean anything, I mean she still cared enough to call me to tell me to stop looking. So she can't hate me, she must still love me. I could find that all out once I finally hear from her. I walked into the studio looking for Andie.
"Andie?" I called out then my phone starts ringing I got it out it to see it was Elena.
"Party Central." I bet she had been looking for me, she had become too reliant on me lately I think I'm going to be grateful when Stefan back so they can go back to their lovey dovey ways.
"Where are you?!" Great she was looking for me, I better make up a lie.
"Umm, by the punch bowl." Why was she even looking for me? Isn't she meant to be having a good time with her drunken teenage friends in my house.
"Don't do that Damon, don't lie to me! I saw your closet and Damon you—" I didn't want to hear her going on anymore, I'll deal with her when I got home.
"Oh... Oh, I gotta go break up beer pong." I hung up on her, I began to look for Andie, I walked across the studio floor and I saw Andie purse on the floor. I felt a presence behind me and I knew who it was. "Stefan?" I turned my head, there Stefan was standing beside me, he looked a little different you could see that the ripper had come out to play.
"Hello Brother." He spoke rather darkly, I smiled at him. I wonder why he here? Hopefully to cheer up the birthday girl.
"You don't write, you don't call…" He didn't look amused even as the let lose ripper, he seriously needed to lighten up.
"Need you to stop following us, your causing some problems." Like I cared about what Klaus would do, the both of them are stuck in this situation, because of me and I'm going to get them out of it.
"With who? Klaus? Are we supposed to care with he thinks?" Stefan stared at me while clenching his jaw his unhappy that I'm not shaking in my boots about Klaus.
"What you're supposed to do is let me and Siena go." Like I'm going to do that, I think my brother had forgotten what I'm like I don't give up on the people that I love.
"Saw your latest artwork in Tennessee walking a fine line there my friend. Keep that up and there will be no saving you. Where's Siena? I had a call from her telling me the same thing, but she didn't make a formal appearance unlike you." He began to pace with his hand behind his back.
"See the thing is I don't need any saving Damon, Siena being doing just fine…. I just want you to let us go." There was no way that Siena was doing just fine, I heard her voice she was far from fine, and my douche of a brother was being a fool right now.
"Nah, I got a birthday girl at home that's not gonna let me do that." Stefan nods.
"You know, maybe I haven't made my point. Hey, Andie you still there?" Stefan calls out, I looked at him what the hell was he doing with Andie.
"Andie?" I looked up to see Andie is standing on a ledge up in the celling, she looked terrified.
"Damon? I can't move Damon. He told me that I can't move." You had to be kidding me! Stefan was only trying to frighten me with this, well it's not working.
"No, no, no, its okay, Andie. Stay calm, not cool brother!" Stefan stood there smiling, impressed with his handy work.
"Aw, come on! A little bit cool. Huh? Hey, Andie... You can move now" She looked so scared what the hell is he doing? He wouldn't kill her he wasn't that far gone, but she was getting closer to the edge.
"No! No, no, no, no, no NO!" Stefan grabs me and pushes me against the wall so I couldn't save Andie. She falls to the ground her body broken on the floor; Stefan grabs me around the neck.
"I said let us go!" He let go of me, and I ran over to Andie but she's already dead I looks back but Stefan is already gone. What the hell was I going to Stefan had clearly made his point, there was no saving him now my brother was well and truly gone… he will stop me at all cost even to get Siena back too.
Siena P.O.V
I had left Nic and began to drive to one direction and that was back to Mystic falls, I had to stop Damon looking for us, if Nic found out he would kill him and everything that Stefan and I had done would be for nothing. I had been driving all night and I had another 4 hours before I got there, a lot of stuff was coming to the surface now like could I face Damon? The last time I saw him he was dying with Elena lips locked to his. I didn't know how I would react in seeing him. Then there was the whole Andie thing I saw in my vision, he had been feeding from her did that mean he had done more? The more I thought about it the angrier I got, I couldn't go to Mystic Falls if I did I would personally stake him. I stopped at the next station I parked up and pulled out my phone and dialled his number, I couldn't see him because I might do something I may regret, it rang a couple of times then he picked up.
Hearing Damon voice stirred a lot of emotions all that anger disappeared, all I wanted was to see him but I needed to realise that couldn't happen I had to return back to Nic. I tried so hard to make Damon understand that he had to stop this searching, because if he didn't Nic would surely kill him. Damon wasn't listening he wanted to find me bring me back home, there was no reasoning with him, so I told him I'll get back in touch with him. I sat up and turned the engine on and began to drive the only way Damon going to listen is if I tell him in person, so I'll just have to suck it up and deal with it. I got to the hotel I stayed in when first came here I got out of the car I went to the trunk, luckily I had a bag of clothes in there as we were always on the road so much. I got it out and walked in to the hotel they seemed happy to have me back I booked a room for a few days, they gave me the one I had before I got in the elevator and went up to my room.
I walked in it was like nothing had changed, but plenty had changed in my life I wasn't the same girl who came here nearly a year ago. I went into the bedroom and placed my bag on the bed and began to undress. I went into the bathroom and had a shower and washed my hair I stayed in there for a while, I was trying to prepare myself for seeing Damon and having to walk away from him once again. I came out and wrapped a towel around me, I went in to the bedroom and began to dry my hair then did my makeup I did my eyes darker than I usually did. I went over to my bag I pulled out some fresh underwear and simple black body-con dress; I put them on the dress stopped at mid-thigh. I got my black high heel pumps out of the bag I put them on then looked in the mirror. I looked pretty good; I picked up my jacket and my bag I went to get my phone out. I need to let Stefan know what Damon was doing I went to my message and wrote to him.
Unknown: Stefan its Siena, Damon hot on our trail I've called him to stop following us. But he isn't listening to me. X
I walked out of the room and got in the elevator when I reached the lobby I headed out to the car, I walked over to the car and I heard my phone. I got it out and saw the new message it was Stefan.
Stefan: Where are you? Klaus knows his following us! Don't worry I'll get through to Damon. X
My heart began to race Nic knew Damon was on our trail, I had to get to the boarding house quick I really hoped he didn't do anything stupid yet. I got in the car and began to drive there; I didn't want Stefan to know I was here probably just worry. After a 20 minute driving I pulled up outside the boarding house, the first thing I notice that there was loads of kids standing round the front and loud music. So well while Stefan and I are off paying off our debt with Nic and they are throwing a party, they talk about missing us. I got out of the car and began to walk towards the house there was quite a few cars, but I hadn't spotted Damon car. He might have put it in the garage he wouldn't want his baby getting damaged. I walked into the house it was a typical teen party, I tried to walk pass a few of them I got wolf whistled by a few guys. I finally got to the parlour and I looked round I couldn't see anyone I knew. Then suddenly I felt a tap on my shoulder I turned around and I saw Tyler.
"Siena?" Obviously he was surprised to see me, but I didn't have time for a catch up I needed to speak to Damon and leave.
"Hey Tyler, do you know where Damon is?" He stood there stunned like had just come back from the dead.
"Your back. Did you come to surprise Elena for her birthday?" So all of this was for the little sister, see that she's always on everyone top priority.
"Tyler I need to find Damon." He was clearly drunk and I didn't have the time for any of this I wanted to keep this visit as short as possible.
"Sorry… yeah I hadn't seen him in a while he must up in his room" I gave him a smile before walking off, I headed upstairs. I felt my heart beating fast like it was going to come out of my chest the closer I came to Damon room. I was going to see him after all this time, but I had to be strong I had to walk away from him once I convince him not to find us anymore. I came up to his room and I could hear two voices it was Elena and Caroline. I opened the door to hear more clearly what they were talking about, apparently Elena had found out Damon had been looking for us the whole time but didn't tell her about it. I walked in they were both looking at the map that was pinned the closet door that I saw in my vision.
"Awwwe is little sis, being left out of the loop." The both of them turned around as soon as they saw me both of their jaws dropped, they really didn't expect to see me tonight.
"Siena…." I couldn't help but look at her with disgust, even after all this time I couldn't forgive her for what she did to me.
"Where Damon." She looked a little frighten after I spoke, she needed to be I'm doing everything possible not to punch her in the face this time.
"I…I'll call him." She spoke as she gets her phone from the side table "Siena—" She started to say but I cut her off I didn't want to hear anything she had to say to me.
"I'm not here for a reunion Elena. I have no interest in anything you have to say to me." She looked at me widen eyes as she began to call Damon, while Caroline looked really uncomfortable.
"Where are you?!" She demanded to him. "Don't do that Damon, don't lie to me! I saw your closet and Damon you….." She looked at the phone pissed, I think he hung up on her.
"So is he coming?" I asked her walking over to the table where Damon had his bourbon, I needed something to take off the edge I was feeling right now.
"Siena how did you get away from Klaus?" Caroline asked while I poured myself a drink I turned around, I didn't want to explain anything to her, we weren't friends. She only spoke to me because I was Elena sister none of them actually cared about me, not even my sister care because if she did then she wouldn't of locked lips with my boyfriend.
"None of your business." I didn't want to take out my anger on, but having Elena in the same room as me really made my blood boil, I kept on having flash backs from the last time I was in this room.
"Siena I just asked because I care, I thought we were friends." I put the glass to my lips and took a sip and moved it away and looked directly at her.
"You see Caroline I thought a lot of things too. Let me give you example…. I thought she—" I pointed at Elena "—was meant to be my sister, but as soon as my back is turned. She is kissing my dying boyfriend." Elena couldn't even look at me, yeah she needed to feel ashamed for her actions.
"You knew about it?" Caroline spoke with confusion before looking at Elena. "You never told me that Siena was there when it happened." Elena looked at her guilty, well looks like she hide that from everyone.
"Anyway it doesn't matter anymore—" They both looked at me. "—I'm not here for a reunion." Elena began to approach me with caution, the closer she came the more I was trying to control myself from lashing out on her.
"Where's Stefan?" I began to walk towards her and she took a few steps back looking afraid, she needed to be afraid because right now I felt unpredictable.
"Are you sure you want to know about Stefan?" She stood there trying to hide her fear, I tilted my head looking at her for a long moment. "You know, you go on that your nothing like Katherine, but the truth of the matter is Elena you're a carbon copy." Her eyes began to fill up with tears. "I have a hell of a lot more respect for Katherine, because at least she admit who she is, unlike you playing the innocent." Elena had tears rolling down her cheeks, I couldn't stand here watching I started to walk to the bathroom so she was out of my sight.
"Does Stefan know…does he know I kissed Damon?" She asked between tears I stopped and turned around, that all she was worried about? She didn't even attempt to apologies to me for what she did!
"Stefan going through enough already, he doesn't deserve the heartache which you and Damon had to me. I wasn't going to let Stefan feel that kind of hurt after everything he did to save his brother." I turned back and continued to walk into the bathroom. Why the hell did I come back? I had to control my temper I felt like going into that room and kicking the crap out of her, but I knew Caroline would stop me. It had been a good 15 minutes since I spoke to her, and I heard Caroline leave Damon hadn't come yet. I'm going to wait another 5 minutes then I'll go, I'm not going to wait around here in the same room as her.
"What? What are you doing here?" I heard Damon voice, my heart was racing now knowing I was going to see him, I began to walked out of the bathroom.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep it a secret?" Elena demanded as I stood in the bathroom entrance, I found it amusing the lover's quarrelling like this.
"Can we not do this right now? I'm having a really bad night." Well Damon your night going to get hell of a lot worse after we speak.
"All summer, every single time I came to you with a lead, you made me feel like an idiot for having hope." Elena was upset clearly with him, looks like trouble in paradise. She glanced up to see me standing behind Damon, that nervous expression came back as she locked her eyes with mine.
"You were an idiot, we both were…. what the hell wrong with you Elena?" He followed her gaze, as his eye locked on me; he did the same as Tyler he looked at me like I had come back from the dead.
"Hey Salvatore" I smirked at him while he was still stunned by seeing me after all this time. I had to keep my composure I can't let my emotion take over.
"Si-Siena…." He could hardly speak my name. "You got away from Klaus?" He spoke as he began to approach me, I put my hand out to stop him come any closer to me.
"Don't Damon…." He stopped looked at me with a sadden expression. "I didn't' come here for that, only reason I came is to tell you back off. Stefan and I are not coming back." Damon clenched his jaw he was clearly angry by what I had told him. "I'm going to be returning to Nic as I promised I would, that's the difference between me and the both of you I have a sense of honour." Elena was biting her bottom lip and Damon stood there speechless.
"Siena how can you go back to him? His killed so many innocent people." I looked at Damon whose expression hadn't change, is that what Elena thought all the killing were down to Nic?
"Because they're not Klaus' victims, Elena, they're Stefan's!" Damon told her while he was still looking at me. We locked eyes with one another I could see he was hurt by what I had said, but I had to be harsh with him it was the only way I knew I would walk out of here and keep to my word.
"What?" She shouted, we both looked at her well she didn't take that too well.
"He's left a trail of body parts up and down the eastern seaboard." Damon was rather pissed off, Elena kept shaking her head she believed that Stefan wouldn't do that, but the Stefan she knew was gone now, well not truly gone but not far off.
"No. You're wrong." She really didn't think Stefan could do something like that, well I had witness it all with my own eyes.
"I've seen it with my own eyes Elena, he's flipped the switch, full blown ripper not a pretty sight at all." She looked at me shaking her head with disbelief, as sad as this was I was enjoying the fact that Elena was feeling this kind of pain that the man she loved had turned into a monster and it broke her.
"Stop it, Siena." She didn't like hearing the truth, I think it's time she needed a reality check.
"No, you stop, Elena! Stop looking for him. Stop waiting for him to come home. Just stop! Stefan is gone and he's not coming back. Not in your lifetime." I smirked at her, before she left the room crying, I didn't feel guilty at all for telling her that. She needed to forget him, and she had done that before he even left town.
"You didn't need to be that harsh." I glared at him was he being serious? Did he really expect me to be nice to her after what she did to me?
"Oh yeah in your love with Elena now, I forgot…. Well Damon I would say have a nice life, but I'll be lying" I began to walk towards the door before I could get to it he was in front of me. I hate this vamp speed crap.
"No Siena. You are not walking out on me again." I tried to pass him but he pushed me against the wall so I wasn't able to move. "I'm not letting you leave here till you know the truth." He looked into my eyes. "I do not love Elena. What happened that day you walked in on us, it was her kissing me. I was dying Siena, I barely had any strength in me. All I was doing was trying to hold on to see you before I died." His eyes began to glaze, I couldn't listen to any of this I wasn't going to let Damon break me down, I tried to fight him off me but there was no use. "I do NOT love Elena. I LOVE YOU Siena. Why can't you believe me?" I watched as single tear rolled down his cheek, he stared into my eyes I remember how it felt looking into them, those beautiful crystal blue pools.
"Damon—" I began to say but was cut off by his lips capturing mine. I felt a spark as soon as his lips touched mine and cold chill ran down my spine, I wanted to react back I wanted to show him how much I missed him, but I couldn't he pulled away. "I can't do this… I-I-I'm sorry, but you have to let me go." He stood there stunned I walked away from him left the room. I began to run down the stairs as fast as I could, I couldn't do this that wasn't meant to happen. I came here to tell him to stop looking for us not for him to declare his undying love, I can't let Damon do this to me. I got in the car and began to drive off the tears were streaming down my face I left the man I love, because of the fear I had of what Nic will do to him if he found out I came back here. One of the hardest decisions you'll have to face in life choosing whether to walk away or try harder…. looks like I took the easier route.
Stefan P.O.V
I had to do what I did I need Damon off our trail, I need him to stop, and what I did to Andie I think worked he didn't expect me to do that. I couldn't believe I was in Mystical Falls where Elena was and had to stop myself from even seeing her, which were the hardest things I ever had to do. Knowing that it was her birthday and I couldn't be there for her killed me, I couldn't let her see me like this I was a monster not the Stefan that she fell in love with. I needed to get out of here I couldn't stay here no longer. I had tried to get hold of Siena to let her know that Damon got the message, but she wasn't answering her phone. So I began to make my way back to Klaus, I had to prove to him that I could be trusted. I arrived at the bar as I walked in and Ray was tied to the pool table, while Klaus was hovering over him. It looked like he had been having fun while I've been gone I walked over.
"Ok, it's a three step process, Ray this is step one I want you to drink from my wrist." So this was the steps Klaus had to do to make his hybrid army? This will be interesting to see.
"I already told you where to find the pack, what more do you want from me?" Ray actually gave in, Klaus must have tortured him pretty well to break that code.
"Have you been listening to a word I've been saying, Ray? I have great plans for you." Klaus told him with evil glint in his eye, as he cuts his wrist and makes him drink his blood. "You'll thank me for it later, huh. There we go, at a boy!" He spoke while giving him his blood, I walked over to the pool table.
"What are you going to do now?" Ray asked worried, Klaus smiled at him.
"It's time for step two, Ray." Klaus breaks his neck and kills him, and looks at me, looking very impressed with his work. "You're back." I don't know why he was surprised, of course I would come back if I didn't Klaus would of hunted me down back at Mystic Falls, and he would of found out that Elena still alive.
"Did you doubt me?" I questioned him; he looked at me intensely for a moment then smiled.
"Not for a second. I knew you'd pass the test, you still care for your brother, for your old life." He stood there smirking, Klaus was right I did care about all of those things.
"Nah, I don't care about anything anymore." He looked at me for a long moment I think he was studying my face to see if was telling the truth.
"You put on a good show Stefan. I almost believe you let's hope, for your brother's sake, he does. You never stop caring about family, do you but, every time you feed, the blood makes it easier to let go." He was right I was slipping away slowly with the more blood I consumed, Klaus walks over to the bar. "Oh we just have to wait for Siena, she on her way here. I think she might have missed our company." Siena was coming back? She had the chance to get away why would she even bother coming back.
