A/N: This is just something that came to mind. Just thought it could be a little fun. My first Vampire Diaries fanfic. Mostly centered around Damon, with some appearances from Stefan, Katherine and a few others.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, except for the ones you don't recognize. Heather, AJ, Crystal, Benjamin, Cody and any others you may not recognize from the series. I also only the plot. Enjoy!
Heather had an uneasy feeling when she stepped outside into the bright light of the day. She knew something bad was going to happen. Of course, it could have been because she knew this was the day Cody was dropping Benjamin off with AJ, and it would bethe first time she had seen Cody since they had their big falling out. She finished her cigarette, tossed it on the ground and went back inside. She made her way through the house, leaning against AJs bedroom door. "You ready?" She asked. AJ looked up from the TV and shrugged. He never really had much to say when it came to the mother of his son.
"She's gonna flip when she finds you here." He said. Heather laughed, then shrugged, walking further into the room.
"Like I care what she thinks? It's not her place to say anything anymore. She gave the right up." She responded, dropping onto the bed next to AJ. He sighed and looked at her.
"Well, you're gonna get to see what its like when for me when she drops him off. And its gonna be worse cause youre here. You sure youre ready for this?" He asked. Heather shrugged again and put her arm around his ahoulders. He shruggd her off and stood up. She sighed and stood up.
"AJ, I'm here. That's all that matters. You've always been one of my best friends and no matter what happens here today, nothings gonna change." He smiled at her as she reached out to touch his arm.
"I'm not worried about that, Heather. And you know it." He told her, giving her a very rare, AJ Feldscher serious look. She sighed, knowing full well what he was getting at.
"I'm not going to lose control, AJ. I've long since gained control over that. It's not gonna be a problem. Don't worry." She reassured him, flashing him a smile. She leaned in to give him a hug, only to have a voice from behind them stop her cold.
"Well, I should have known it was only a matter of time before you started dragging trash into this house and around my son." The voice said. Heather clenched her teeth and turned to face Cody. "You sleeping over to?" She asked, an eyebrow raised in disgust.
"It was one night, Cody. It don't mean anything. And you're one to talk about trash." Heather sneered back. Cody glared back at her, her face turning a deep red. She took a step forward and Heather moved to do the same, but AJ stepped in between them.
"She's not staying, Cody. She's on her way out." He said. Heather swallowed hard and felt her heart drop. Somehow, this wasn't exactly going the way she imagined it would. Cody looked at Heather, completely ignoring the fact that AJ had even spoken.
"I'm actually glad you're here, Heather." She said, suddenly sweet. Heather narrowed her eyes and took a step to her left so she had a better view of Cody. "I have a message for you." She smiled then and Heather flashed forward, grabbing Cody by the throat and slamming her against the wall.
"When exactly did this happen?" Heather growled, staring into Cody's blue eyes. She could feel AJ shift behind her and held out her free hand to stop him from moving any further forward.
"About a year ago." Cody said in a gravely voice, her smirk clear enough for AJ to know it was present, even though he couldn't see her. Heather tightened her grip on Cody's throat a little bit more.
"What message could you possibly have for me? More importantly, why would I listen to anything you said?" Heather asked, releasing her grip on Cody's throat and taking three steps back, so she was at AJs side. Cody smirked, reveling in the fact that she knew something Heather didn't.
"Oh you'll care." Cody replied. Heather scoffed and crossed her arms.
"I very much doubt that." Heather said matter of factly. Cody's smirk widened and it was as if they were the only ones in the room, AJs presence instantly forgotten.
"Oh, Heather. You have no idea the kind of hurt you're in for." Heather clenched her teeth, baring her fangs.
"And you don't know what you're talking about." She was trying her hardest to keep cool, remembering her promise to AJ, but she could feel her control slowly slipping away.
"Oh I do. Believe me." The calm and sureness in Cody's voice infuriated Heather the more and more she talked. She took a breath and attempted to calm herself down.
"And what makes you so sure?" She flashed forward again and slammed Cody against the wall, her teeth bared. "Give me one good reason I shouldn't rip your throat out right now." She hissed. Cody continued to smile, despite the fire in Heathers eyes and the acid in her voice.
"That wouldn't make Damon to happy. Now would it?" Heather's breath caught in her throat and her grip on Cody's throat loosened until she let the smaller girl go.
"What do you know about Damon?" Heather snapped, her voice now distant. Cody grinned and leaned back against the wall.
"Oh, I know all about Damon Salvator." Cody said. "I know he turned you. I know he turned me. And I know he's looking for you." The more Cody spoke, the more Heather seemed to slip away, her gaze going blank. "He's closing in, Heather. And it's not good for you."
A/N: And that's the end of chapter one. I know it's probably not exactly what you were expecting, but it's going to better. I promise! Read and review please!
