DISCLAIMER: Still not owning TVD or any of its characters. Just my character Charmeine and a wild imagination.
Previously on Of love and other demons,
"I don't know. I just played the 10 questions version of 20 questions with her and all I got was that her name's Charmeine, she's a supernatural being that isn't afraid of vampires and is looking for Elijah."
"Well, what do you need me to do?"
"Gather the Scooby doo gang. Meeting at my place in an hour. "
"Okay."
"And Rick.."
"yeah…"
" Bring every kind of possible supernatural-freaks-killing weapon you have in your pantry."
"Be there in an hour." The hunter then hung up and rubbed his hand over his face in exasperation.
After 1 hour 15 minutes, at the Salvatore Boarding House.
"I am so sorry, I got cau.."
"Not interested Barbie." Damon interrupted Caroline with a slight frustration. Caroline gave Damon a glare for rudely interrupting her. Stefan, always the fight breaker, decided to break the staring contest between Damon and Caroline. He then moved from his place between Bonnie and Elena to stand in front of Caroline. Oh Stefan, ever so protective. "What's the meeting about Damon?" he asked. As always, with a brooding expression.
"Did I miss the e-vite?" everyone turned back to see Katherine pouting on the patio.
"Nope, this meeting is for non-bitches only. So kindly take your slutty ass somewhere else." Damon smirked. Katherine ignored him and walked past him towards Stefan.
"Damon…" Stefan started.
"Fine. Miss Pierce, please stay." He smiled politely. Mocking her. "You might actually be of help for once. Do you know anyone named Charmeine who knows Elijah?"
"Never heard such a name. Why? Who's she?" Katherine asked, confused.
"That's what the meeting's about. Who is this Charmeine? She's a supernatural, knows Elijah and she's… very strong."
"How do you know she's strong?" Elena asked. Oh Elena, always the one with stupid questions.
"Because, I know. She's strong. Powerful-original-vampire strong."
"Maybe she's one of the originals. She does know Elijah." Rick pointed out.
"Nope. Heard her heartbeat. She's not a vampire, witch maybe…" Damon drifted off thinking of other possibilities.
"Did she touch you?" Bonnie asked stepping up from couch and walking towards Damon.
"Yeah, I grabbed her arm.." Damon said with a confused hope.
"Give me your hand." Bonnie instructed and Damon followed without any questions. Bonnie closed her eyes for few seconds and suddenly Damon felt a tingling sensation on his fingertips where her arm touched his fingers.
"She's not a witch. I would've felt her magic." Bonnie said, sounding disappointed. For a flick second she had hope that there was another witch in town. After meeting Katherine's witch "friend" at the masquerade ball, she was wishing she would meet someone from witch community, who would help her. But, alas whoever this Charmeine was, she wasn't a witch.
"Crossing that of the list, we are left with…" Stefan spoke while mentally checking witches off his list of supernaturals-with-heartbeat.
"Werewolves. Maybe she was a werewolf?" Caroline said. Getting disgusted when she spoke the word werewolf. She was still not over how those werewolves tortured her for an entire day and let's not forget a certain werewolf friend's betrayal. Tyler. She mentally kicked herself for thinking about him and his disgusting species.
"She didn't smell like a dog." Damon said, remembering what she smelt like. She smelt like a mixture of sandalwood and lavender. A bit intense on nostrils but equally refreshing. He was in the middle of picturing her sitting at the grill bar when he heard the doorbell ring. Everyone was there. Who could it be? He shrugged and reached for the door at vampire speed. He opened the door to see a smiling Charmeine standing with her arms crossed to her chest.
"What are you doing here?" Damon asked wide-eyed.
"Well, rude to question guests at the door. Don't you think?" She said, nonchalantly. He then stepped aside and let her in. He turned around before quickly closing the door and ushering her in, towards the rest of party. As she walked inside towards the living room, she noticed a few teenagers and a 30+ guy staring at her. She smiled at them, as a form of hello. "Guys, this is Charmeine." Damon introduced her. "Charmeine, meet the Scooby doo gang." Her face still had that smile. She nodded her head in acknowledgement of the Scooby doo gang.
"So, we didn't finish our conversation earlier. What kind of supernatural are you?" Damon asked while pouring her and himself a drink. One thing he clearly knew about her, was that she liked her whiskey. So he poured her one of the oldest from his collection at the bar-table in the living room.
"Not here to answer your questions Damon." She said while scanning the room. Her eyes fell on Katherine and Elena. She smirked while shaking her head in amusement. Elena and Katherine both saw the look she gave them. And glanced towards each other before looking at her with confusion in their eyes.
"Oh is that so? Then enlighten me why are you here?" Damon said handing her a drink.
"I am here for Elijah." She said, simply. Taking the drink from Damon's hand and gulping it down in one shot. Everyone's eyes widened and they all looked like they had seen Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey having sex. Yup. They look Frightened.
"Elijah's not here." Elena said, her voice shaking immensely. In return, Charmeine smiled at the brunette teenager before vanishing. She was gone. She didn't run. Damon, Katherine, Stefan and Caroline were looking at her when Elena spoke. If she ran, they would've seen her. Their vampire abilities would've caught the slightest movement. But they didn't see anything. Just like that, she was gone. Everyone looked around at each other. Damon concentrated on his hearing, to see if he could hear her anywhere in the house. And he did.
"Oh boy!" He heard Katherine speak, realizing she was listening as well. Soon, Stefan and Caroline figured it out as well. All 4 of them looked at each other before running at vampire speed towards the basement.
