After getting settled at home I finally found my place in mystic Falls. I've been living here for the summer and my relationships with my siblings has slowly improved. It's helped having Amy around to relieve the tension. I eventually met up with everyone; Caroline, who is a vampire now, Bonnie who I've talked to over the phone who is with her dad, Tyler a werewolf, Matt the human and some of my close friends from my grade who are down from college for the summer. They were all shocked when I announced the news about Amy but as usual they all fell for her and are protective over her.
I finally met the famous Damon Salvatore. I was unsettled at first but I could eventually see something in him that others couldn't, his humanity. Of course he had to be hot too. He instantly started flirting with me and it became a fun thing. From then I told him some stuff about my life back in Georgia minus being a witch thing and he told me about tracking Stefan and Klaus and we've kept it from Elena.
Today is a new day and it's Elena's 18th Birthday. She isn't to excited about it, I wouldn't if my boyfriend wasn't with me, but I'm going to try and make it up to her, so Caroline and I have planned a party at the Salvatore boarding house.
I quickly get up from my bed before Amy wakes up and hop into the shower. I blow dry my hair and get changed into black denim shorts and a red tank with a black leather jacket paired with ankle boots. I look at my finished look and smile as I hear a noise from Amy's room. She opens the door and peers outside the hallway. "Morning baby." I announce from my room.
She smiles and runs into my room and attacks me with a hug and kiss. "Morning momma."
"Sleep well?" I ask her. She nods stretching. "Bath then let's get changed and you are going to be with Lisa all day and night today." I tell her.
"For Lena birthday." She remembers.
I smile. "That's right, how about you go jump on Elena and wake her up and I'll fill the bath tub." I tell her.
She smiles widely and runs off into Elena's room and we hear a grunt. "Ally." Elena groans.
"Happy birthday." I shout appearing at her threshold.
"You had to wake me up." She grumbles angrily.
"Yep." I say smirking and leaving her room.
I quickly bathe Amy and put her into her clothes.
Once she is finished I walk into Jeremy's room and open the curtains and he protests. "Aaahh! Early. Bad!" he groans.
"It's not early." I respond yanking his covers off. "You're late for work. Matt just called." I announce and head to walk out of his room.
Jeremy glances at his clock "Well, maybe he'll fire me." Jeremy comments.
"Aim high." I laugh and walk out.
When I get downstairs to the kitchen I see Alaric who was Jenna's boyfriend/the local history teacher/vampire hunter making up the couch. I see Elena in the kitchen and she looks frustrated. She hangs up her phone. "Who made you angry?" I ask Elena.
"Was that Caroline? Stefan news?" Alaric asks too.
"Could be more Klaus victims." Elena responds.
"You certain Stefan's still with him?" I ask Elena.
Elena pours herself some coffee then one for me. "Easy to be certain when the alternative is that he's dead."
"Well keep a positive head." I respond and leave the kitchen. I see Alaric standing there awkwardly. "Are you sure you're still okay on the couch?" I ask him.
"Yeah I'm good." Alaric replies.
"Because you spent half the summer on you need your own bedroom?"
"Eh, sleeping in my dead girlfriend's room. Nah."
"Alright got it." I finish and pick up Amy from the lounge.
"Hey uh Ally?" he calls out.
"Yeah?" I ask turning to face him.
"It's good to have you around here, helping out."
"I'm glad to be home, I just wish I could of done something sooner."
"Nothing could have been done, but I've seen you trying and Elena and Jeremy love that you're here."
"I'm sure it would be different if Amy wasn't around though."
"Well it's a good thing she is." he finishes and I leave the house just as Alaric says happy birthday to Elena.
A little while later after dropping Amy off at my best friend Lisa's place who is going to watch her for the night, Elena and I arrive at the boarding house. We enter the house and Elena walks further infront of me and Damon comes up behind us. "Hey, I was gonna." I say turning around and see Damon naked. "Oh god." I shreak and cover my eyes.
"Damon." Elena scolds turning around.
"You heard us Damon! You knew that we were here." I scold still covering my eyes.
"Yeah, you should learn to knock. What if I was indecent?" Damon jokes.
"Don't be a dick." I retort and I chuck Damon a towel and I slowly peel my hand away and see Damon now covering himself. Any other time I would have been jumping his bones but I needed to come here with Elena from stopping her from finding about Stefan and Klaus.
"Sheriff Forbes gave us another location to check, Memphis." Elena announces after recovering herself.
"Another dead end you mean." Damon comments.
"You don't know that."
Damon walks up to us "You're right, Elena. This could be the one. After almost two months this could be the one clue that tells us that Stefan is alive and well and living in Graceland." Damon teases and I roll my eyes.
I try not to laugh but recover myself. "Damon be serious for one minute." I scold.
Elena then snatches the note back. "Fine, I'll go by myself." Elena retorts and starts to walk away,
"Elena." I scold.
Damon then speeds up in front of her and takes the note back. "Right and let Klaus know you're tracking him. He thinks you're dead; let's keep it that way."
"It's a new lead Damon; we haven't had one in a while." Elena pleads.
"Okay, Ally and I will check it out. If we find anything I'll call you."
"Why does she always go with you?"
"Because knowone knows about me so it's better I go then someone see you, and besides I don't have to worry about Amy, Lisa is watching her tonight so I'm free for a road trip and you birthday girl have party stuff to plan." I tease and Damon smirks.
"Perfect, let me just get changed." Damon finishes and leaves me and Elena who doesn't look happy but I just pat her back and walk up the stairs.
I follow Damon into his room and see him hanging the paper. "They moved on to Tennessee." I notice.
"That victim you had me looking in to had family in Tennessee." Andie says from behind me.
"Which one? Pensacola?" Damon asks.
"Yep."
"Can you get us an address?" I ask.
Andie smiles. "Yep and I'll see you both at the party." Andie finishes and kisses Damon.
Damon, Ric and I pull up to a house in Tennesse. My phone starts ringing. I ignore it. "Elena?" Rick wonders. I nod. "I don't know why you two just don't come clean and tell her where we are."
"Because Andie said this was a half lead and I don't want to get her hopes up." Damon responds.
"Yeah, well they're all half leads, and I'm your accomplice. As well as Ally. What do you want me to say to her, I'm practically living there?"
"Still sleeping on the couch?" Damon asks.
"Yes." I answer giving him a look. We walk up to the front porch. "It's quiet."
"Yeah. Too quiet." Damon agrees and we walk inside.
Damon tests the door with his foot to see if he can walk in. There is blood splattered all over the walls. I try not to gag. "Omg." I gasp.
"Sure your up for this?" Damon asks.
I nod. "Was this Stefan?"
He nods. "Yes."
"He's a ripper."
"How do you know so much?" Alaric asks.
"Not the time or the place for that talk." I respond and they both nod. We walk further inside and find the two bodies. "Shit."
"Definitely Stefan." Damon confirms.
"How do you know?" Ric asks.
"It's his signature; there's a reason they call him the ripper. Feeds so hard he blacks out and rips them apart, but then when he's done, he feels remorse and he put the bodies back together." Damon answers as he pushes his foot to the girls leg and her head falls off.
"Shit I'm going to be sick, I'll be outside." I tell them and run out to throw up.
A moment later they both come back out and I see the house is starting to burn up. "They were werewolves." Damon announces.
"That means they aren't far away." I respond. "Full moon is tomorrow."
"Would you have an idea where they would be heading?" Damon asks.
"There's something you two need to know if we are trusting each other you need to know, but know one knows, not even Elena." I tell them.
"Okay your starting to intrigue me Ally." Damon admits.
"I'm a witch." I announce.
"You are?" he asks. I nod and I start chanting some words and moments later the leaves and the wind starts blowing around us. I open my eyes. "Not many witches can do that with all those elements?"
"That's because I don't have ancestral magic, I get my source from the elements around me, but I don't practice anymore, but seeming as you have helped save my sister, I'm going to help find your brother."
Damon turns to look at me and a smirk appears on his face. "I always knew there was something special about you.
"No one can know because I don't like using my magic." I tell him.
"Your secret is safe with us." Alaric responds finally. We leave and drive back home without neither of us noticing a person in the background staring at our retreating car.
Arriving back at the boarding house people have arrived and the party is a hit. I am outside with Damon and Alaric nursing a drink. "I am every parent's worst nightmare. I am the chaperone teacher from hell." Alaric remarks.
I laugh. "I love high school parties." Damon says.
"Oh the memories of when I was in high school." I add.
"You seemed to be a bit of a wild one." Damon comments.
"Oh trust me I was bad, but having Amy woke me up." I tell him. "And muster that with finding out you're a witch kinda made me crazy."
"Ah in coming." Damon annonces and Elena comes out.
"Hello birthday girl!" I exclaim.
"Drink!" she says and takes my drink.
"Hey."
"Jeremy's smoking again." Elena announces.
"Is his stash any good?" Damon jokes.
I hit his shoulder playfully. "You're an ass."
Elena looks to Alaric. "Can you talk to him, please? He looks up to you." Elena asks him.
"Well you're screwed." I joke and Alaric groans in disapointment.
After the party I didn't see Damon or Elena before I left so I ventured home late. When I walk through the door I find Alaric picking up a bag. "You're leaving?" I question.
"I can't be around here anymore and I can see you're doing well with out me, but if you ever need a hand let me know." He says.
"Don't worry, just use your time to grieve." I tell him with a smile.
I walk upstairs and peer into Elena's room she seems to be on the phone but the other person isnt talking. "Who is that?" I asked her as she hears the line end.
"It was Stefan." Elena says.
"Are you sure?"
She frowns. "Yes?"
"Did he speak?"
"No but it was him."
"Maybe it wasn't Elena, look you need to take five mintues okay, Stefan isn't himself." I tell her.
"How would you know?"
"I saw his dirty work."
"No that he." She stutters.
"Elena he's gone, not just physically, you need to stop this you will burn yourself out."
"I can't I love him."
"I know but sometimes you have to let the people you love go." I tell her and I walk out of her room.
