Clash of the Second Bests

A/N: I own nothing

Chapter 1

Damon's POV

Stefan came back. Klaus didn't want him. Elena was ready to bolt with him as soon as he got to the boarding house, so she did. And now I'm alone at The Grill wallowing and pitying myself. The mere thought of Elena is like a stab in the chest with a wooden stake. She made me feel, she made me fall in love. And she obviously didn't want me. Who does? As I was about to compel the bartender to give me another free concoction a strange, yet familiar smell wafted towards me. Right then a huge copper skinned guy sat on the stool next to me and ordered a beer. "I'll get that to you in a moment." The barkeep said stiffly before taking the next order. The strange man turned to me and said, "Vampire." "Wolf." I respond coolly. He extends his copper hand and says, "I'm Jacob Black, I may as well tell you why I'm here, the girl I love just ran off with an animal eating vamp. Now I'm here because she doesn't want nor need me." That whole confession thing caught me off guard because that is basically what happened to me. I return the handshake and say, "Damon Salvatore, you basically just described my new problem but the freak show of a vampire is my baby brother. Ugh, I hate my family." I add. And then, like magic an idea hits me. "Where is the girl you're in love with? Because I want to help you get her back as long as she is in the U.S. got it? Because in the sane world bunny eating vampires should never get the girl. What's her name and where is she?" I ask. "Her name is Bella Swan, she lives in Forks Washington. What about your girl?" he asks. "Elena Gilbert and she just ran off to Forks with my brother Stefan, to meet the other animal eating vampires…" "The Cullen's" Jacob snarls. "Yes, and by the looks of it "Yes, and by the looks of it your precious Bella is in love with one of them." I say taunting him like I do to everyone. "She is with Edward. She wants to become like them. She can't just live." He says the hurt obvious in his voice. "Well, eventually Elena would have to change so we can be together forever. But she still has years ahead of her. Saint Stefan on the other hand looks her exact age, maybe younger so the change is just around the bend." I say. "What is your plan? Because Bella is getting married in a few weeks…." He trails off. "We are activating my plan right now." I say as I hand him my phone. "Call her." I say like I know everything. Which I do, mostly.

Bella's POV

"So, Elena, tell me about the second guy. Since I told you about Jake." I say, slightly demanding. "Well, his name is Damon and the vampires I know are able to turn off the human part of them and he did. He was in love with another vampire that avoided him without him knowing she was out of the tomb." She began. I was already up to date on the Katherine thing and the tomb and all that. "Katherine?" I interject. "Yeah, continuing on, she came back and told him that it would always be Stefan and that's what I told him to, and I'm worried that he will do something stupid, he just recently almost died and I think that's when I discovered that I am in love with." She says. "Description?" I ask. "Dark hair, light skin, blue eyes…" She trails off. Right then my phone rang. "Hello?" I greet. "Bella" Jake's familiar voice says. "This is Jake, put it on speaker phone if Elena is there." I turn the call to speaker phone and tell him to start talking. "Damon is standing next to me. We have decided to make your decision easier. We are going to try to kill Klaus. We won't go if we have a reason to stay. We leave in 3 days." His news stunned me and by the looks of it Elena was sure Damon would do it. "Where are you guys?" I almost beg. "Mystic Falls, Damon's place. Bye Bells." And he was gone. Elena quickly explained who Klaus was to me and began pacing shortly after. "They'll die! This is crazy!" she exclaims, clearly worried about Damon. As I thought about losing Jacob the day of the fight with the newborns resurfaced and I remember Jacob's threat about taking himself out of the picture and I break down. "We are going to Mystic Falls Elena." I say as I begin throwing some clothes in a duffel bag. "Of course we are!" she almost screams.

4 hours later with the help of Rosalie we are on a plain set for Mystic Falls.
