Okay guys so so so sorry for the like longest non update ever! Anyway thanks for everyone that read and reviewed, hope this was worth the wait! Lacey's POV-
I beeped him and set the high beams on, thoroughly scaring him, I dimmed them and got out, he looked at me and smirked.
"So I see we've done a little 'grand theft auto' this evening, is it just me or is that Stefan's car?" I laughed.
"Chill Jer, I just "borrowed" it for a quick escape, I needed to get out of the house," I said with a sad smile, he must have picked up on my mood change because he gave me a sympathetic smile and a hug.
"What's wrong baby girl?,"
"Nothing that can't be solved Jer, nothing at all, now let's get going before Damon and Stefan catch up,".
We quickly jumped into the borrowed vehicle and we speed off nosily towards the woods and the old bridge in the forest, speeding faster and faster, loving the purr of the car and the feel of acceleration, Jeremy was enjoying himself to, grinning like crazy as we rocked up at the old woods.
we slowed as we went off road and followed the old dirt track through the woods until we emerged where all the other teenagers had parked their cars, as we passed people looked and god did I love the attention I was getting for the car.
We managed to find a spot and slowly got out of the car, I looked over at Jeremy who had a wicked grin on his face almost mirroring my own.
"You ready for this Lace?"
"hell yeah I am, let's go show these clowns what we're made of!"
I walked around the front of the car to meet Jeremy and make our way to the party that was buzzing down through the woods with the music thumping but Jeremy stopped me for a second.
"Hold up, hold up, I've got that thing I told you about, ya know the stuff?" he winked, talking about the drugs he'd told me about early.
he fiddled around in his pocket and held up 2 small blue tablets, and looked at me, I just shrugged, picked up one and swallowed it, soon after he flicked the other into his mouth.
"alright now we're ready," I said looping my arm through his and heading down to the party.
having no idea what later events those drugs would cause.
Damons POV-After seeing her speed away I was furious not only at the fact that she'd just run, but at the fact that she told Stefan something she couldn't bring herself to tell me first, it must have been bad but really, she told Stefan over me.
I sped off towards the woods where the party was happening after I heard Elena mention where Jeremy was, Stefan hot in pursuit with me, we slowed when we finally reached the party and came to a normal walk as we blended in with all the other teenagers, keeping a firm eye out for Lacey or Jeremy.
Stefan spotted Elena and Bonnie and we ran over to them, finding that they also had had no luck at finding the terrible twosome, growing more and more agitated by the second listening to Elena ramble that it was her fault and Stefan consoling her. I snapped.
"You right Elena! It is your fault! Lacey would never do this, you need to learn to control your brother Elena he's a bad influence!," Elena looked taken back.
"Damon, this is not Elena's fault, you're not helping the situation at all, go and find them," Stefan growled.
"Oh I'm sorry that little miss perfect doesn't know how to control that drugged up little gilbert she calls a brother," I growled back.
"Damon stop, this is not Elena's fault, Jeremy and Lacey are both a bit lost at the moment and we all know their as bad as each other if not Lacey more so than Jeremy, but we need to find them right now, so enough, go find them. Now." Bonnie hissed.
"How about you take some of your own advice Bonnie and start looking," I hissed back, turning away and walking into the crowd to find Lacey.
No sooner that I had done a whole once over of the party did I see Caroline, bee-lining straight towards me.
"You obviously haven't found them yet then?"
"Do you really think I'd still be looking if I had?" I snarled, not in the mood for anyone's shit right now.
"Well I know, I was just saying, why don't you try doing a check through the edge of the party, further out in the woods, I'm going to do a sweep east of the party, you can take west?" she said before quickly zooming off through the party to the edge of the clearing.
I pushed my way through the cloud and onto the edge of the clearing until I found where the party stopped and then continued to run further out doing a loop of the area, until I heard a twig snap.
My head snapped to the exact location and I was there in under a second, all I saw was a squirrel collecting nuts, then another twig snapped, this time behind me.
I swirled around just in time to come face to face with lacey as she pounced at me, absolutely livid, I was about to start yelling when something looked off.
I held her at arm's length like people sometimes hold a baby to look at them, She was to pale and her pupils were huge and her nose was bleeding, that wasn't what worried me, it was the sick twisted grin she had contorting her face.
"Well hello Damon, funny seeing you here, come to snack on the local wildlife have we?"
"What the hell were you thinking, you think this is funny? Huh? You think this is a game? Well? ANSWER ME!" I shook her furiously, becoming angrier by the second, she just giggled with the sick expression still plastered on her face.
"Of course it's a game Damon, everyone loves to play games, I mean come on, life is a game" she smirked arrogantly, I placed her on the ground and watched her as she started skipping in a circle, singing ring around the rosie.
I kept a eye on her as I pulled my phone out of my pocket, never taking my eyes off her, dialled Stefan's number and waited for him to pick up, which he did on the first ring.
"You found them?"
"Just Lacey, come and get her now, there's something seriously wrong with her,"
"Wrong with her? Like hurt? Is she hurt?"
"No. Just get here. NOW." The line went dead and a minute later Stefan was by my side.
He looked from her to me and then back to her, quickly walking over to Lacey and stopped her skipping in circles, he kneeled and looked at into her eyes.
"Lacey, baby? What are you doing? What have you taken Lace?" after she just stood there with a blank expression back at him and opened her mouth to form an O, she burst into giggles.
"Damon I'm taking her home, she's sick, she's on something, I need to get her home, find Jeremy," he quickly scooped her up into his arms and was gone in the blink of an eye.
"Maybe she's finally lost it," I muttered.
As I was walking back to the party I heard a groan come from the bushes, I quickly flew to the spot seeing Jeremy lying face down in the dirt, I reached down and grabbed him by the back of the neck, slowly raising him so I could drag him enough that his face wouldn't be torn to bits, but enough so his body still coped it.
I held him in one hand while he groaned some more and took out my phone again dialling Caroline who was with Elena, telling her where we were and that I had Jeremy.
A few minutes later and I surely enough, Elena, Bonnie and Caroline came running over.
"Oh my god Jeremy!" Elena quickly ran over to where I threw his body to the ground.
"He'll be fine," I growled as I walked past the 3 fretting girls cowering over Jeremy's limp body.
"What the hell Damon! WHAT DID YOU DO!," Elena screamed at me through a tear streaked face.
"Was that a thank you I here," I smirked, "Oh and nothing that he didn't already do to himself," I said turning away and walking towards the crowded party throwing a "Your Welcome," over my shoulder as I went.
I decided to bypass the party and run the quickest way home, I needed to get back to Lacey and see what the hell was really wrong with this kid.
Maybe id caused all the damage, Maybe it was all my fault. Maybe.
