In the car. Silence was silently killing Claire.
"oh come on, at least turn on the radio" she pipped,
"no, I'm thinking" he retorted,
"think elsewhere" she said, turning on the radio.
"you listen to music elsewhere" he said turning off the radio.
Claire's glare set as she turned it on again, only for him to turn it off. And again. And again.
"don't you have an iPod or something?" Damon snapped.
"its in the purse in a bag in the giant purple bag in the back." She retorted
Damon huffed,
"you're the one kidnapping me!"
"you don't have to argue about it!"
"do you even know what you're saying?" she gave him a look.
Damon glared at the road ahead.
"and here to think I used to love road trips" Claire muttered.
Damon cocked and eyebrow.
Claire's phone rung, a smile plastered on her lips as she saw the caller,"Heey"
"Hey Bunny" he friend's voice came through,
"how are you?"
"I should be asking you" he said,
"I'm..holding onn.. how did you know?"
"a little invention called Internet" he laughed, "besides, if I know you, and I do, you're probably all sad and teary whenever you think of her 'cause she was such an awesome reporter slash friend that you admired now you're being all sarcastic and snappy on the outside to hid you're oh so fragile inner self."
"breath much? is jay around?" she retorted.
What? She's not going to let him know he's right. His ego wouldn't take more praise.
"isn't he always?" came Jay's voice,
"lemma guess, speaker?"
"yep" both of them answered,
"we'll call you later snowball" Jay said,
"Chris wants us, he they can't live without us"
"keep dreaming Addie" Chris's voice came through,
Claire stiffled a laugh
"hey!" Adam said,
"hey what?"
She could practically feel jay rolling his eyes,
"bah-bye" she said,
"miss you, bye" they said before hanging up.
She clicked her phone, before a glare set on her face as she remembered where she was.
"ooh the best friends from the picture" Damon smirked,
"yeah, so?"
Damon turned to look at her before turning back on the road ahead.
.
"Go to that guy over there" Damon pointed out from their spot in the bushes.
"why are we even hiding?"
"I like making an entrance" he said with a smirk before blurring away.
Claire rolled her eyes before heading to the sandy haired guy just as Damon pushed the brunette from yesterday night into the water.
They exchanged arguing as Damon ended up in the waters,
"are they always like this?" Claire rolled her eyes,
"Pretty much" the guy nodded, "Alaric Saltzmen"
"Claire Skye" they shook hands before Damon and Elena got out of the water.
.
"we've got a mile left" Alaric announced.
Claire was only glad she wore her combat boots when they went back to the apartment, paired with a jean short and green camouflage top.
"and the sun's about to set" Damon added,
"really? I didn't see that" Claire poked her tongue in her cheek.
"I'm just saying" Damon shrugged,
"The moon doesn't reach its apex until later" Elena noted,
"did you hear something?" Claire's head snapped to where she heard a few twigs snap.
"Stay away!" Alaric said to Claire and Elena,
The …man? It stuttered something about vampires before pinning Damon to a tree and attempting to bite.
"Do something!" Claire franticly said.
Alaric loaded his crossbow, shooting at the hybrid, only for it to totally ignore it, continuing to want to take a bite out of Damon.
"Damon!" Elena said before throwing a wolves bane grenade at the beast.
"let me guess, hybrid" Alaric said panting,
Claire arched her eyebrow.
.
Alaric and Damon where tying up the person to a tree as Claire and Elena walked around.
"we never properly met" Claire said,
"Elena Gilbert" the brunette said,
"Claire Skye"
"so how did you get mixed up in all this?"Elena said, kicking a pebble,
"I was freely living until this Stefan comes along, kills Andie, attacks me but that may be my fault, Damon fed me his blood and now tadaa" Claire rolled her eyes, "stuck here"
"you saw Stefan?" the brunette's brown eyes widen.
"he killed Andie" Claire said with a sigh,
"but that's not him, trust me. Klaus is making him kill all those people. I love him" she mumbled the last part.
"but yet, you flirt with Damon" the gray eyed woman couldn't hold her tongue,
"don't mind me, but Damon is hot. And he's a good person under all this vampire none-sense. But I love Stefan" she attempted to explain herself.
Claire nodded to herself before returning to the group.
Only for the man-beast to start screaming
"is he transforming?!" Elena asked franticly,
"it can't be, it's still daylight" Claire explained,
"Tell him that" Damon said, backing away,
"run!" Elena screamed as the thing escaped the ropes,
.
"don't move" Damon said to Claire as she tripped.
"to think I would" her retort died on her lips as a wolf was directly above her.
"Here doggie doggie" Damon said as the wolf turned to him and started running after him,
"Damon!" both Claire and Elena said, Claire taking off in the direction they disappeared as Elena was restrained by Alaric.
Claire ran quite a distance before she saw Damon stopping, the beast on the ground with his heart ripped out.
In front of Damon was none other than Stefan.
"What part of "don't follow me anymore" got lost in translation, Damon?"
"Might want to take it up with your girlfriend. You don't want her chasing you, I'd stop with the late-night phone calls. "
"I didn't call her."
"Sure you did. She's not gonna give up on you."
"who do we have here," Stefan said, changing the subject
He cocked his head to the side, locking eyes with Claire,
"leave her out of this, brother" Damon said, finally accoknologing her existence.
"you killed Andie" Claire started, "you killed her and didn't even look back. Do you have any idea what her family is feeling? What her friends are feeling?" she shouted, motioning with her hands. "it is not okay" she ran her hand through her black hair, tugging its roots slightly, "its not"
before any of the three could blink, Claire charged for the vampire, nailing him with a drop kick to the face. She landed swiftly as she attempted to sweep his legs.
He grabbed onto her legs as she tried kicking out, leveraging her body into a head scissors of sorts flinging him ever so tiny.
Damon turned to look at Stefan, as pain rushed though his face before spinning and pinning up Claire to a tree.
his eyes flickered into her determined grey's and she tried clawing her way out of it.
Okay she wasn't as tough as vampires. But her profession practically deemed her to know at least the ropes.
"Stefan" Damon drew out, "leave her!" he shouted, obviously thinking how violent that woman was.
She's attacking a vampire for crying out loud.
"as you wish, brother" he said letting go Claire's neck, only to comeback and slam it to the tree before blurring away with the body.
Claire gasped for air as she saw Damon's foggy face.
