Here is the 2nd chapter. Sorry it took a while and I'm also sorry it's so short. I'm trying to break the story up so it lasts longer lol. What will be the 3rd chapter was originally going to be part of Chapter 2 but I thought it best to keep you guys guessing lol. Hope you enjoy it!


Vivian Merlot had been plotting her revenge for many, many, years. She waited patiently for the day when she would bring Damon Salvatore to his knees, begging for her not to end the abomination that was his life. He could beg until he was blue in the face, it wouldn't do any good. It would just feed the already plentiful fire burning in Vivian's soul. This was a woman who had a plan, and every intention of bringing her plan to be. She will accomplish what she set out to do even if it ended up being the last thing she ever did…..

… … …

Vivian. Damon thought of his mystery lady. What is it about her that's got me all crazy? Maybe she's a witch. Could be. She put some kind of spell on me. Damon shook his head. She's not a witch. It's something else. I can't put my finger on it. Although, I'd love to put my finger on her. Damon gleefully smiled at his impure thoughts. He would have her if was the last thing he did…

… … …

"How did I know you'd be here?" Vivian said to Damon, who was standing beside the door of the bar where they had first met.

"And how did I know you'd be here?"

Vivian smiled. "Intuition?"

"Yeah, we can chalk it up to intuition."

"So…..?"

"Would you like me to buy you a drink, Viv?"

"Don't call me that." In a split second, Vivian's whole demeanor changed.

"Okay, then. Sorry."

Vivian nervously chuckled, "I'm the one that should be apologizing. I just really hate the nickname 'Viv'. It's a personal thing."

"Vivian it is, then."

Vivian nodded her head.

Damon put his arm around her waist and led her into the bar. They sat in the same two seats that they occupied the night before.

The bartender, Eddie, came up to two of them. "What can I get you and your friend, Vivian?"

"I'll have red wine. Damon?"

"Same. The most expensive bottle you got."

"Coming right up."

"So, you come here a lot?" Damon asked.

"I wouldn't say 'a lot', but rather frequently, yes."

"Why?"

Vivian was perplexed. "Why?"

"Yeah, why do you come so much?"

"I'm not a whore or anything, if that's what you are thinking."

"That's not what I was thinking at all. I'm just trying to start a conversation."

"I come here because it's small, it's quiet, and everyone here keeps to themselves. Everyone except you."

Eddie then came over with their glasses. "The best red wine we got. Enjoy."

Damon raised his glass as a way of saying 'thank you'.

"You don't look like a wine kind of guy." Vivian observed.

"Only red. I like the color." Damon winked.

"I see." Vivian felt the need right then and there. If Damon only knew that she knew what was implying.

"You definitely don't seem like the wine type, though."

Vivian was intrigued. "How so?"

"It's a classy drink."

Vivian raised an eyebrow.

"Not that you're not classy, Vivian, quite the contrary, but it's a simple drink. Something you most definitely are not."

"So, what kind of drink should I be drinking?"

"Sex on the Beach, of course. It's strong, vibrant, and it gives you a good time, and it's made up of so many different ingredients you're not sure what you're partaking in."

Vivian sipped her wine and gently placed it back on the bar counter. "That's how you see me? Strong, vibrant, and mysterious?"

"Let us not forget dangerous. A drink with that many liquors can cause unpredictable behavior."

She smiled, a devilish grin. It sent chills down Damon's spine. "Maybe I should start ordering Sex on the Beach from now on."

Damon raised his glass and Vivian did so with hers. They each took a swig of wine and then Damon spoke. "Let's get out of here."

"Where to?"

"It's a surprise."

"I really hate surprises."

"That's a shame. I think you would have enjoyed this one."

Vivian thought to herself. This could work to her advantage. If he took her somewhere away from civilization she would be able to strike. She could get her revenge. "I think I'll enjoy it too now that I think about it. Let's go."
