Flashback – Damon's POV

"Why don't you practice magic like the others?" I asked as I stared up at the bluest of skies. I lay on the grass, the green blades tickling at my bare forearms, beside me lay a creature as pure as the gold chain around her neck and with eyes as green as the grass we lay on. She turned onto her side, "Oh I do," She replied, "But mine's not like the others. Actually mine doesn't even belong to me." Her voice was soft and sounded like music even when she wasn't singing. "What do you mean?" I asked and the girl sat up slowly, she peered down at me a shy smile on her lips. Our faces were only inches apart and I wanted to make that gap smaller until there wasn't a gap at all but it was dangerous, she belonged to a clan of witches who weren't too fond of me hanging around.

"What do you mean, Valencia?" I asked again and I could see the disappointment in her eyes as she pulled away from me.

"I don't possess magic of my own, not really." She began, "Instead I have the ability to siphon magic from others or from objects that contain it." I didn't understand and when I told her she reached out to me, placing a hand on my shoulder. A sudden pain rushed through me, like my life was being ripped out from the spot she had placed her hand. The clouds in the sky quickly turned dark and a roar of thunder rand out followed quickly by a shock of lightning. Valencia took her hand away from me, and as quick at the storm had rolled in, it disappeared again. I looked at her, eyes wide. "What was that?" I asked, my hand placed on my own shoulder, a ghost of the pain still lingered.

Valencia shrugged, "You're a magical creature, I used the magic running through you to create a change in the weather." It scared me a little but I wanted to know more but before I could ask anything a voice in the distance called out, "Valencia!"

It was a voice we both recognised all too well, and it didn't sound happy. We both stood up from the grass and dusted off the loose blades, "I'll see you tomorrow?" Valencia asked, she looked sad as she looked down at her own feet. I hooked a finger under her chin and lifted her head to look at me, "Of course." I told her and placed my lips gently against her forehead. Then she walked away, heading home to her mother, the leader of their clan of witches. I watched her go, waving when she turned to look back at me one more time.

Present Time – Normal POV

"What is it with you and crazy ex-girlfriends?" Elena mumbled to herself as she watched Damon put the girl in a cell and lock her in. "So she's like Kai? She siphons other magic and let me guess you made her a vampire granting her the ability to an unlimited supply?" Damon shrugged in reply, his eyes hadn't left the lifeless girl in the cell. "Yeah that's pretty much it." He confirmed.

"Klaus isn't coming." Stefan said as he reached the bottom step into the basement. Damon's head turned to look at his brother, "What do you mean he's not coming?" He snapped. Elena rested a hand on Damon's shoulder, "Maybe we should go upstairs?" She suggested, looking from Damon to the girl in the cell and back again, she wouldn't admit it but she felt a little jealous of the girl and her relationship with Damon. The three made their way back up the stairs and Damon headed straight for the bottle of Bourbon that sat on the side table. Elena and Stefan took seats on opposite sofas. "You knew this would happen eventually." Stefan commented and Damon smiled at his brother in a sarcastic, 'please shut up' kind of way. Elena looked at Damon for a moment then switched to Stefan, "What is going on?"

Stefan sat on the edge of his seat and began to speak, "Well I can only tell you the bits I know but basically the girl downstairs is called Valencia Palomino, she's one of the many little messes Damon has left in his long life." His eyes flickered over to his brother, "She also happens to be one of the worst."


Thanks for reading, so sorry that it took so long to update, college and life being pretty hectic. Second chapter is kind of just a filler so you don't really get much except her name and that she siphons magic but I'm hoping the next chapter will be better than this one say stay tuned. ~RainbowVeins
