Authors Note: So first off I would like to give thanks to bellavida0213, StilesSmiles2.0, Vampiresant, CRYTERRELL, voicegrl, Jessbesublime, and all the guests that reviewed my very first chapter, and to everyone who followed or faved. It was nice to know what you thought about it, and all your words were very kind. Also to the guest who has concerns about the teacher/student relationship, I completely understand your distaste for that kind of pairing. I agree it can get predatory and creepy. Hopefully I can do it in a tasteful way, so it doesn't get completely icky. Again your kind words encouraged me to write my second chapter, hopefully it doesn't disappoint.
Disclaimer: I don't any of these characters or TVD at all.
Damon Salvatore hated small towns. Like really hated them. He especially hated that he couldn't grab a quick meal without raising alarm. It was sad really. No, Damon preferred bigger cities, where he could stack up a mean body count without getting caught. So, it was safe to assume that as soon as him and his brother were done with their mission; they were hauling ass. He thought playing at teacher could be somewhat entertaining, but that turned out to be far from the truth. The only remotely fun thing to happen to him was getting hit on by the cafeteria lady and the snack that came afterwards. Now he was bored. Damon was bored and he was itching for some fun. Unfortunately, he was stuck, playing the good guy.
He was now on his way to the principal office. Apparently, Stefan wasn't playing as good as him. Which wasn't unusual. Stefan had a hard time with pretending, he hated containing himself. He gets downright dastardly when he's asked to put on a show. Drama queen. As Damon approached the office door he practiced out loud the words of discipline he would give to Stefan.
"Now Stefan, what did we say about looking up the teacher's skirt; we only do it when she's not watching." Stopping at the door he smirked as he heard his brother chuckle.
"Laugh it up brother, because I'm about to lay the strict brother role on thick." Again, Stefan chuckled. At least one of them was having fun.
"Well Damon, I sure hope you do a better job than that." Damon rolls his eyes at his brother's reply, "Not very convincing."
"Watch and learn steffy, I'm going to have so much fun grounding you." Damon quietly pushed his way inside the office only to see Stefan sitting in the principal's chair.
"Hey brother, why do you look confused?" Stefan gestured towards his face with a serious look. "Were you expecting me to be on the principal's lap getting a spanking?" His lips quipped up in amusement.
"Not exactly," Damon closes the door "But thanks for the mental imagery Stefan." Locking the door, he moved closer to Stefan. "So, where's our third guest?" He looks towards his brother waiting on an explanation.
Stefan ignores him as he begins peeking through files on the desk. Damon scoffs in annoyance.
"Brother I unfortunately have a class to teach right now so the faster you talk; the quicker I can get back to my job." Stefan stops moving as if he's found what he was looking for.
"Come on Damon, we both know you care less about this job as you do about humans." He hands the file towards Damon. "How is that going by the way, is it everything you hoped for?"
"Oh, Stefan it's like a dream come true I feel so complete now." Despite the joy in his voice, his face was the complete expression of boredom. "That was sarcasm by the way, just in case you didn't catch on." He begins to look at the file. "Now are yo..." he stops reading and glances up at his brother. Stefan no longer looks amused. Damon peers back at the file.
Stefan moves to stand next to him. "When I saw the girl earlier I knew right away it wasn't Katherine, but I had to make sure." He points towards a birth certificate that lied next to a 9th grade ID picture of Elena Gilbert. "I compelled the principal to get you here and convinced him to take a well needed break," Stefan pointed towards the other files on the desk. "I got the other files, Lockwood, Bennett, anyone on the founder's council." He looks towards a silent Damon. "Should be helpful."
"She looks just like her," Damon meets his brother's eyes "How the hell is that possible?" With exception of the straighten hair the girl looked exactly like Katherine. It didn't make sense. Of course, it made more sense than Katherine being out of the tomb masquerading as a high school student.
"Well it's true, maybe Katherine is one of her ancestors; who knows, but that girl is not Katherine." Stefan takes the file from his hands and hands him another. The file was a lot thicker and had red markings all over it. "Tyler Lockwood, he has a very…very bad temper. My guest he hasn't activated his werewolf curse yet, could explain the rage." Damon nods his head at his brother's words
"I had this kid second period," Yeah, Damon definitely noticed the whole rage thing. Dude got mental because some guy took his seat. Once a werewolf activated their curse that rage all but dissipated. Safe to say Tyler had yet to let out the beast. "I agree he hasn't activated his curse and we should make sure it stays that way." He hands the file to Stefan "You need to keep your eyes on him, it'll be easier if you befriend him somehow. Last thing we need is one more toxic werewolf running lose." Stefan groans in response
"That might be a little impossible since we already got into a little scuffle in the Locker room." He looks smugly at Damon "He was not happy when he saw me dragging his girlfriend into to the utility closet for a mini snack." He shrugs his shoulders, "I could just compel him to not kill anyone."
Damon shakes his head "No go brother, Lockwood's parents are on the founder's counsel he's most likely pumped full of vervain." Damon picks up another file. "I don't care how you do it; just make sure our jock doesn't become a literal beast."
"Well, that should be fun." Stefan heads over to the principal's chair kicking his feet up on the desk. "Whose File is that."
"This is our resident witch, I just bumped into her on my way here. Our source was right. This girl is packing serious power. I've never felt anything that strong radiate off a novice witch before. It's like she's a fully charged battery that never runs out of juice." He smirks as he recalls their encounter. " She's a fidgety little thing, could hardly get her words out." She reminded him a lot of Cherie Bennett with her olive-green eyes. He hoped he wouldn't have to break his promise to Emily get her to do his bidding.
"Word around school, The Bennett witch is suspected to have been involved in the murder of a girl named Samantha Smith two years ago. Although this was never confirmed in public, people said she was in and out of the police station." Stefan points to the file in Damon's hand. "It's all there in her file. Ever since then she's been an outcast."
Damon scanned over the file, noticing how despite her supposed involvement in a murder case it was squeaky clean; Not a single mark of indecency. Grades were stellar, attendance nearly perfect. She's a perfectly good student. He doubted that was all there was to her, but it was a good start.
"She didn't kill anyone she's a Bennett, the only thing they want to kill is us," No, Damon thought to himself this girl didn't kill anyone at all. "But her being an outcast is a good thing, this means there won't be too many people in our way." He looks further into the file, "It also says she a tutor, you know what that means, you're going to have to play dumb."
Stefan moves to put the files into his bag. "Way ahead of you brother, but I won't be playing dumb, I'll just join the club." Damon purses his lips at the idea. "They have a spot open for a second history tutor, I'm signing up after school. Might get to meet the Bennett witch in person."
"Whatever, do it your way, but we need to gain the witch's trust so she can help us get Katherine out of that tomb." He puts the file back on the desk, and begins heading towards the door. "That comet has finally returned and it's time to get our girl back." He turns to meet his brother's eyes and they share the same look of determination.
"One more thing, keep your eyes on that Gilbert girl I want to know everything about her." Stefan nods his head as he follows Damon out the principal's office. "Watch out for the double, got it, so since your putting all the hard work in my lap what will you be doing?" Damon throws his arm around Stefan as they head down the hallway "Well little brother, I'm going to be so busy, being a teacher and all, so I'll see what I can do." He smirked at Stefan's less than amused face while heading to his sixth period class. Here we go, he thought, time to go into teacher mode.
