I pulled the Sorority girl's arm to my mouth and bit down on her wrist and looked up at Stefan and Elena as they walked through the front door of the Boardinghouse "hey brother" I smirked "human" I winked at Elena whose eyes were trained on the passed out girl to my left "how was school?"
"You can't feed on people" Elena preached as I dropped the girl's arm and whipped my lips with the sleeve of the girl's shirt.
"Oh, I can" I smirked at her and healed the girl next to me "where's our brother?"
"Getting Ric" Stefan mumbled, he gulped and stared at the blood that was dripping from the girl's wounds.
"Who's Ric?" I stood and picked the girl up with me, I took her to my room and carefully laid her on the bed so she could sleep off the small amount of blood and alcohol that was in her system. I came back downstairs to find Damon and a stranger walking through the foyer "oh you're Ric" I gave him a once over and smiled.
"Alex this is Alaric" Damon gestured to the man who stood before me "Ric meet our sister Alexandra" Ric's eyebrow went up and he gave me the once over that took more than 5 seconds.
"I've seen you before" he mumbled as Damon began to talk.
"I have one of those faces" I smirked at him and walked over to the empty sitting chair near Elena and Stefan.
"Thanks for coming, Rick" Stefan said with a nod.
"I got you something to drink? Coffee? Bourbon? Bourbon in your coffee?" Damon asked as Alaric walked into the sitting room and sat on the couch.
"Elena mentioned you needed my help" Alaric looked at me with curious eyes, he was still trying to place where he'd seen me before of cause I wasn't going to share the fact that I was one of his wife's students when I had my bout in College with Damon.
"Yeah, we were hoping you could help shed some light on the Lockwood family," Stefan asked as he took Elena's hand and squeezed it with a small smile.
"Now, why would I know anything about the Lockwood's?" Alaric turned his gaze to Stefan and then Damon, they're convocation was boring to me but I might as well stick around until the human woke up and asked to be taken back to her sorority that was in the next town.
"Why you wouldn't? But your dead, not dead vampire wife might" Damon said with a smirk as I got up and got myself a drink.
"Isobel's research from when you guys were at Duke together" Elena spoke up and shook her head when I offered her a drink, Damon of cause took the drink and started to sip at it just in case I spiked it with Vervain I smirked at my brother and winked at Ric who watched us.
"You said that she has spent years researching this town" Stefan raised an eyebrow at me when I sat down and draped my legs over the arm of the chair.
"Isobel's research here in Mystic Falls rounded in folklore and legends but at the time I thought much of which was fiction" he looked at Damon who chuckled
"Like that amazing vampire story," my brother asked with a raised eyebrow and cheeky smirk.
Elena rolled her eyes at Damon "Aside from vampires, what else?"
"The lycanthrope," Ric said to her quietly as if he didn't want to believe that Werewolves were real as well as Vampires.
"Wait, like werewolves?" Elena asked stupidly.
"No way, impossible, way too Lon Chaney" Damon said with a shake of his head.
"Is it?" I asked, to be honest, I have had run-ins with several Werewolves over my years of existence with Klaus and each time they steered clear of us because of who Klaus was, even now they wouldn't go against me in a fight if they could help it.
"I've been on this planet one hundred and sixty some odd years, never came across one. If werewolves exist, where the hell are they?" he looked at me as I stood and made my way over to the window "What about you when you were travelling the world?" he asked me.
"Nope, heard some whispers though but you know Vampires" I looked at each person in the room "bunch of broody little bitches" I poked my tongue out at Stefan when he rolled his eyes.
"Why do you suspect the Lockwood's?" Ric asked Damon who was mulling over what I had said, his face was pulled into a scowl.
"Because Vervain didn't affect the mayor at founder's day but the Gilbert device did and it affected his son Tyler" I raised my eyebrow and opened my mouth but stopped my question about the device when Stefan shook his head.
"And at the school carnival his uncle Mason exhibited inhuman behaviour when he fell into the carnival worker" Stefan finished Damon's sentence "It suggested some sort of a supernatural entity" Stefan was once again talking with his hands.
"We were hoping that Isobel's research could help us figure it out what it is," Elena said ignoring the hard stare that I was giving her, she was angry with Damon and I wanted to know why.
"Well, all her things are still at Duke. I mean her office is still there, she's technically still missing" Alaric said looking at Damon with accusing eyes, which caused me to laugh.
"So can we get access to it?" Damon said not looking at Ric, he was focused on me instead as I tried to reign in my laughter. When Ric didn't answer Damon tried again "Ric, we don't know what we are dealing with. If this wolf men thing is true, we have seen enough movies to know it's not good"
I then spoke up, my laughing fit was forgotten "It means Mason Lockwood is a real-life Lon Chaney and that Tyler punk may just very well be Lon Chaney junior which means Bella Lugosi, meaning me, is totally screwed" Damon smirked.
"Fine" Alaric sighed and pulled out his phone "I'll call Duke" he stood up and strolled out of the house.
"I'm coming with you," I said to Damon as he stood and down the last of his drink.
"No, you're not," Damon said looking at me with stern eyes "Stay home with Stefan and help him with the Caroline situation"
"I'm not sticking around to babysit" I grabbed my coat that was on the back of the couch and made my way to the stairs "I'll be back in 5" I ran up the stairs so Damon couldn't argue.
