Damon's POV:

I lay down next to her and wrapped my arm around her waist, taking in the scent of coconuts that laced her body. I felt her wriggle slightly as she turned to face me, her eyes slowly opening.

"Damon?" she asked faintly as she awoke.

"I'm so sorry Jessie I-"she cut me off as she lifted herself up on her elbows and hovered above me,

"Damon… you are the most…" she sighed before she continued,

"stupid, idiotic, egoistic, selfish man I've ever met, but…" she placed her hand on my cheek and looked at me with a smile, "You are so amazing. You're funny, hot, sexy, amazing in bed, passionate, incredible but more than anything, no matter what you do to try and hide it, you're sensitive." She spoke softly and I continued to listen to her.

"People don't see it because they don't get close enough to see it. I know what you did to Vickie was wrong, but you still did it because she wanted something better in life, you gave her a chance to be a better person. I could never hate you Damon. No matter what your flaws are or how stupid your choices are. And I'm sorry." I had never had anyone say something so nice to me in my entire life.

"Please don't leave me." I looked at her as hurt spread across her face, I took her face in my hands and kissed her gently as I rolled her onto her back, my mouth never leaving hers.

"Never."


Jessie's POV:

I woke up the next morning, well it was the same morning just a different time. As I moved myself from Damon's tight grip and made my way to the kitchen for coffee after throwing on some pants and Damon's oversized shirt. Not long ago Damon had told me how the coffee helps keep him warm, something about the blood circulation. Surprisingly when I left he was still asleep.

"Hey. You coming to the search party for Vickie." My eyes widened. I felt so guilty for being happy when I knew that Vickie was out there somewhere, alone.

"Sure. I will, later. There's something I have to do first."

"Or someone. Don't worry about it we all heard your makeup sex last night. Actually this morning I think it was." I threw a banana at him and watched as he chuckled. "Alright, fine I'm going." I shook my head and finished the coffee before heading back to my room, and just as expected, he wasn't in the bed.

He came out of the bathroom as he dripped with water. "So… you couldn't find a towel?" I smirked as he stood in front of me completely naked to my liking.

"Clothes are over rated." He smirked back.

"You mean the clothing of shirt, in which you pay 129 dollars for? That makes complete sense." I turned to place my coffee mug on the desk feeling him kissing my neck before taking the coffee from my hands.

"You're welcome by the way." I noted as I rolled my eyes. I felt his arm slide around my waist and his chin rest on my shoulder.

"Thank you." He whispered to me before kissing my cheek making me smile.

"Hey?" I turned in his arms and smiled up at him. "Happy Halloween." I groaned. "You don't like Halloween? You are dating a vampire." his eyebrow raised as he looked at me with interest.

"I love Halloween. I forgot to get a costume, which means I'm going to have a last resort costume." I sighed. I really do love Halloween, ever since I was little.

"Or I could just turn out into a vampire and you could wear that all night long." He grazed my neck with his teeth lightly.

"Ok, now your sarcasm is just getting creepy. Talking of vampires, where's Vickie?" I asked with my hands on his chest, waiting for an answer.

"With Stefan. He's trying to teach her how to feed on bambi blood." He rolled his eyes.

"Great! You're going to go help him." I smiled as I pried from his grip before grabbing his clothes off the floor and shoving them into his hands.

"Nooo." He groaned but I ignored it.

"You did this; you are going to help." I crossed my arms and he reluctantly stepped into his boxers.

"I'm going to need my shirt back." He walked up to me and slowly began unbuttoning it. I walked past him and pulled out one of his shirts that I used before from the pile of fresh clothing that rested on my desk chair.

"Here. See it's clean." I placed the ridiculously over-priced shirt into his hands but he threw it onto the bed.

"I want this one." He tugged on the bottom that lay loosely on my thighs.

"It's the same colour." He sighed and took the other shirt from my bed.

"You're no fun." I smirked and lay on the bed while he finished dressing, leaving the shirt open freely. "Haven't you got school?" he questioned with a groan.

"Mmhmm. Don't make yourself sound creepier than you already do." He stalked closer until he was sitting on the bed next to me and traced my collar bone with his fingers.

"I'm creepy?" his facial expression turning slightly amused.

"Well how old are you anyway? Like 21?" I smiled up at him. How could I not know his age?

"Try 25. Technically 173." My eyes widened.

"Your 8 years older than me. Oh, my god… I had sex with a 173 year old." My stomach turned slightly at the thought of what he'd look like if she weren't a vampire.

Actually I think he'd just be bones. He laughed at my realization.

"See, creepy." I stated simply. He leaned down and kissed me before pulling back.


Damon's POV:

"We should go see how Stefan's and Vickie are doing." I was disappointed and honestly upset to see she didn't say it back, this is what I was afraid of. She moved to change her clothes but I pulled her back.

"What?" she asked slightly confused for a minute. I was going to bring up the fact that she didn't tell me she loves me, but maybe she'll say it her own time.

"You're not coming with me." I simply stated. "Vickie is going to be craving blood and I don't want you being used as a blood bag." She crossed her arms and gave me a look that only makes me feel bad and somehow guilty. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Get dressed" I sighed and handed her some sweatpants from the neatly folded pile of clothes on her desk chair. She took them from me with a smile and began to strip down.

"You know you should really put these clothes away. Makes things a lot less interesting going through your drawers when you're in the shower." I smiled back at her seeing her put her hair into a bun before putting on her converse shoes.

I looked at what she was wearing and I didn't care too much for her top. It was cropped and hung very loosely, exposing a lot of her body and bra. "I don't like that top." I plainly stated.

"Why? What's wrong with it?" she looked a little confused as she lightly shook her head.

"I don't like the fact that guys will see more than necessary." I walked over to her and skimmed the cup of her bra that peeped from behind the top of the white singlet.

"Fine, then I'll put on a jacket." She said humbly and grabbed one before we left the room.

"Wait, wait, and wait." She peeped her head back around the door and furrowed her brows. "Do you have my crystal? I'll need it soon."

"Oh." She came back into the room and opened her incredibly huge jewellery box and searched through it before finding the amber coloured necklace.

"What do you want with a crystal necklace anyway?" she asked as she put on a long necklace that hung on her stomach.

"You'll see." I held her hand and pulled her from the room.


Boarding house…

As soon as we got to the boarding house Jessie walked straight to Stefan's room, knowing he'd be there with Vickie. Before she could enter the room I pull her back,

"You don't know if she has herself under control yet. Let me go check with Stefan." She nodded and waited outside the door.

"You brought Jess?" Stefan sternly commented. I rolled my eyes. I hate how he always thinks he knows best.

"She wanted to see newbie vamp." I clearly pointed out to Vickie.

"He couldn't resist this face!" I heard Jessie's voice come from outside the room and I motioned towards the door, agreeing with Jessie.

"Hey Jess." Vickie called out to my gorgeous girlfriend.

"Hey Vick. How you doin'?" she questioned back.

"Good, thanks. Little hard with the cravings but I'm dealing." This is ridiculous.

"Listen, can I trust he newbie not to drain my girlfriend or not?" I turned to Stefan who looked fairly amused by their through-the-wall-conversation.

"I'll be fine! I won't hurt my friend." She glared at me.

"Sorry but I can't just go on that." I say to Vickie and then turn back to Stefan. "Has she fed?"

"Yes but I'll get her some more just in case." I nodded and he walked to a small fridge in the corner of the room and pulling out a mug of animal blood and then handing it to Vickie before sitting back in his seat.

"Safe to enter the lair?" I held back a chuckle at her choice of words.

I walked over to the door and opened it, quickly holding her close to me with my arm around her waist.

As soon as we walked in she tried to wriggle from my hold and I sent her a glare.

"Damon…" she warned and gave me the look that I found so hard to resist. I reluctantly let her go, watching every move Vickie made, watching for any signs of hunger.

"You look good." They both exchanged a small smile, "Matt is so worried. Have you spoke to him?"

"No I haven't had time." she shook her head and I watched as she sat on the arm of the chair that Vickie was sitting in. I stiffened with the newspaper I was reading crunching a little under my hands.

"Well maybe you should. Everyone's worried sick." Vickie nodded her head as she took the phone Jessie offered to her.


Jessie's POV:

While Vickie used my iPhone I walked over to Damon and sat on his lap and watched him as he read the paper. I smiled as I stared at him.

"You're staring." He didn't take his eyes from the paper and he settled his hand on my thigh. I looked over to Vickie as she finished her conversation with Matt on the phone.

I stood from Damon and took my phone as she held it out for me.

"Thanks Jess." She smiled appreciatively and I nodded. "I don't understand why I have to stay cooped up here. Why can't I just go home?" she sighed.

"Because you're changing, Vicki, and it's not something you wanna do alone." Stefan assured her.

"There's nothin' about that Logan guy I killed in here, not a word. Someone's covering it up." I glare at him.

"No shit someone covered it up. Wait." I paused. Logan? "Since when did you kill Logan?" I almost choked out, but I managed to say it casually.

"It was last night, when we found Vickie." He sighed and started playing with some kind of watch.

"What is that?" both I and Vickie asked at the same time.

"This is a very special, very old compass." He informed s both.

I was kinda pissed that he didn't tell me what it was before.

"What was Logan fell doing with it? Aren't you curious?" he turned to Stefan.

"Well, if you're so worried that somebody's onto you, why don't you just leave town, Damon?" I walked back over to Damon and kissed him as I sat onto the arm of his chair and hugged him.

"Because I won't let him." He put his arm around my waist.

"We should all be worried." Damon turned back to Stefan.

"Hey, um, I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?" Damon pulled me onto his lap and held me closely. I snuggled into his chest, taking the moment to relax in his arms. I knew Vickie wouldn't hurt me, at least not with Damon here.

"Here." Stefan handed her a mug, which I presumed was animal blood.

"Is it what you gave me before Jess came in? What is it?" she interrogated as she peered into the mug.

"It's what you're craving." He took his seat and edged forward, supporting himself on his knees.

"Don't lie to the girl. It's so not what you're craving, But it'll do in a pinch, right, Stef?" Damon glanced through the front of the paper as he held me.

"What is it?" she asked again.

"Yeah, what is it? Is it skunk? Saint Bernard? Bambi?" I elbowed him and he looked down at me and smiled before kissing my forehead.

"Go on. Give it a try." Stefan encouraged and I watched as Vickie sipped on the red substance.

"She's new. She needs people blood. She can't sustain on that stuff." Damon butted in still reading through the paper like the 173 year old that he is.

"Yeah, why can't I have people blood?" she asked Stefan with a smile.

"Yeah." Damon agreed as he glanced at Stefan.

"Because it's wrong to pray on innocent people, Vickie. Unless Damon is willing to let you feed on Jessie. You don't have to kill to feed." I was shocked at the way Stefan used me as an excuse.

"Just find someone really tasty and then erase their memory afterwards. It's so easy. And just so you know, if you touch Jessie I will rip your head off." He warned and I watched as Vickie grinned.

"No, no, no. There's no guarantee that you can control yourself, ok? It takes years to learn that. You could easily kill somebody, and then you have to carry that with you for the rest of your life, which, if I haven't made clear, is eternity." Stefan interjected, I nodded, agreeing with Stefan.

"Don't listen to him. He walks on a moral plane way out of our eye line. I say snatch, eat, erase."

"Don't encourage her." I pointed at him and he playfully gestured to biting my finger with his teeth as he clamped them together. I giggled and he pressed his lips onto mine.

"Get a room." She chuckled and I pulled away from our kiss blushing slightly.

"Hey, look at me. We choose our own path. Our values and our actions, they define who we are." Stefan interjected.

He's such a wise ass.

"Ok, count Deepak. I we're outta here. I don't think I trust newbie anymore, now that she's hungry and all." He picked me up in his arm like I was the weight of a feather, honestly nobody ever had trouble picking me up come to think of it.

I wrapped my legs around his waist as he begun making his way out of the room.

"Wait, wait, wait" he stopped and I waved to Stefan and bent backwards lightly kissing Vickie on the cheek. We had always been close even though she can get annoying sometimes, and I had no problem with kissing girls on the cheek, of course I only do it to my closest friends.

"You done?" he asked as I pulled myself back up.

"Mmhmm." I nodded and waved to them both.

As we got downstairs he smirked hearing the bell ring. I jump off him and from his hold as he opens the door. We both knew Elena would be standing on the other side of the door.

"Is Stefan here?" she asks blankly.

"Yep." He replied back

"Where is he?" she asked sternly.

"And good morning to you, little miss 'I'm on a mission.'"

"Yeh, it's nice to see you too Lena." She completely ignored me. I don't see why she acts like this.

"How can you be so arrogant and glib after everything that you've done?" I rolled my eyes at her, and so it begins.

"And how can you be so brave and stupid to call a vampire arrogant and glib?" she asked with her arms folded across her chest, of course by this time I was leaning on the doorframe messing and looking over my nails.

"If you wanted me dead, I'd be dead."

"Yes, you would. The only reason you're not dead right now is because you're the love of my life's sister." My eyes shot up to him in shock at his statement. I didn't expect he would say it in front of people.

I wish I could say it back. I do feel that way about him but I can't physically tell anyone those words.

"But I'm not." She stated, she was winning.

"Yet." Until now.

"Where is Stefan?" she asked again now getting a little bored and annoyed.

"He's upstairs singing 'the rain in Spain'. Knock yourself out." He smiled sarcastically and pulled me from the house.

"And where exactly are we going?" he looked down at me and took my hand in his.

"We, are going to the grill." He opened his car door and I got in the passenger's side before he shut the door. As soon as he began to drive he plotted his hand on my thigh.

"You know I have school, right?" he glanced over at me and sighed.

"Why can't I spend one single day with you?" I placed my hand on top of his and played with his fingers, sizing his hand up to mine. He had really big hands.

"What are your plans for today?" I asked still playing with his hands.

"Drinking. Moping about how much I'll miss you." I smiled at him.

"It'll only be for a few hours. Azz texted me this morning while we were with Stefan and Vickie, he already got me a costume so… you will see me sooner than you thought." He smirked.

"So, where are we tonight? Yours? Mine? I'm pretty sure there should be an ours in there somewhere." he pondered. I giggled at his deep thinking.

"I vote yours. Your bed is bigger." He nodded.

"Good thinking. We could do more stuff in my bed. Maybe you could show me just how good you are with the splits tonight." He winked and I chuckled as I stood to get out of the car as the roof was down.


"Lookin' good Jessie." I heard my old friend, Jamie, shout out to me while his friend next to him wolf whistled. I blushed and Damon glared at the boys who'd just walked passed.

He immediately zipped up my jumper. I sighed as he did so and he didn't do it very gently either. I took his hands in mine before leaning down and kissing him.

"Now take your top off!" we heard someone shout and I groaned as Damon growled.

"Listen, they're just stupid high school guys, ignore them." He still didn't look at all happy. In fact, he looked as if he was about to rip someone's head off.

"I told you I don't like that top." I groaned at his smugness.

"Just go before you kill someone." I kissed him and then got out of the car.

"Call me if anyone touches you." I sighed and waved at him.

"Good bye Damon." I walked away knowing he was still there and knowing he was glaring at every guy who looked at me, even if it were for a second.

As soon as I got into the building I unzipped my jacket and for some reason feeling bad about doing so. I sighed and zipped it back up half way.

"Hey! Why does it feel like I haven't seen you in forever?" azz asked as he embraced me in a hug. He pulled me back and looked at me seeing my jacket zipped up. He immediately pulled it back down. "What's wrong with you? Show a little flesh." I groaned as a guy walked past staring at me, possibly my bra. I zipped it back up.

"I can't." I moaned.

"And why not?" he crossed his arms and glared at me.

"Tell me if it's weird, but I feel like I'm kinda betraying Damon." I shrugged my shoulders. "It might be because he zipped my jacket up before I left and told me he didn't like how much of my bra other guys will be seeing."

"Maybe. He's just protective. No guy likes their girl being looked at like a piece of meat." I sighed again and nodded.

He handed me a bag filled with what I knew was this year's Halloween costume. I peered into the bag and saw a sexy police officer's outfit. A simple minnie skirt and a cropped top that read police on the right boob and a hat of course. To spice things up, Azz had put in a pair of black stockings and some hand cuffs.

"Really? I wanted to be a French maid." I groaned and he sighed.

"You were a French maid the year before last." I rolled my eyes. I groaned again when I heard the bell go for lesson. This is going to be a boring day.


Bonnie's POV:

Today's talk with grams actually made me scared. I didn't know what I was in for with this witch thing. I seriously need something to take my mind off it. I stood in the hallway as Caroline came springing over with a plum, purple, paper bag in hand knowing it was my costume for tonight.

"I have got your costume. It's all here." She handed me the bag and I felt a small jolt of excitement but it went after knowing exactly what my costume was,

"Seriously?" I asked as held out a witch costume. Is this serious? Now my mind can never be taken off me being a witch tonight.

"Come on. Can someone please be excited that it's Halloween? I just wanna have fun, you know, just some silly, fluffy, damon-free fun." She moped as she slopped against the lockers behind her. I held out a necklace that was buried deep in the bottom of the bag.

"Hey, where'd you get this? Its ugly." Stated and giggled as I held it out to show her. She just shrugged.

"Found it. It goes with your costume colours." I sighed and put it back into the bag along with the costume.

"Hey, have you seen Elena? Do we know what she's wearing? Because I know Jessie's wearing sexy cop. I was with Azz yesterday when we went to get the outfits."

"I was with grams all weekend. I haven't talked to her. Maybe she's with Stefan." I suggested.

"Riding to his castle on his white horse." She really needed to get a hold of herself and stop being jealous of Elena and Jessie.

"Don't be bitter. It provokes wrinkles." She scoffed and we walked to class ready for the day to come.


Damon's POV:

As soon as she left my sight I was worried. She has a great body and a beautiful face, and she's mine. I don't want anyone looking at her or touching her.

I sighed and drove back to the grill. I found out some very interesting information about the council. I understand they're looking for the vampire that's running around town. Meaning I'm in some deep shit.

I realized how much time had passed by and all the women that glanced over at me that I'd once consider beautiful had no meaning anymore. I could never think any woman as beautiful and amazing as Jessie.

I looked down at my phone seeing that thankfully Jessie was out of school soon so I decided to text her if she needs picking up. I sighed when I saw her reply and decided to keep myself happy and sent her a little naughty text, what's the harm? It wasn't until 30 minutes later that I got a text back. I reached into my pocket for my phone and noticed the crystal was missing. Damn it!


Jessie's POV:

30 minutes before school ends my phone buzzed,

-need a ride home? Xx- Damon.

-its ok I'm gonna catch a ride back with azz. Need 2 get ready 4 tonight Xx- Jessie

I laughed lightly at Damon's next text and shook my head with a smile.

"Something funny Miss Gilbert?" just like that everyone's eyes were on me.

"No sir." I shook my head but he stood in front of my desk.

"Then maybe you should share with us what it was that made you laugh and disturbed my class." He pointed to the phone in my hands. I took a deep breath in.

"were waiting." He tapped his foot on the floor and I bit my lip.

"Then may be its best if I read what it is, as you're so embarrassed to say." He swiped the phone from my hands, I tensed. I'm pretty sure this was an invasion of my privacy. "Mmm a text from Damon, please let your costume be short and sexy, sent with two kisses." He read aloud and I felt the blood rush to my cheeks.

I dreaded as the phone buzzed again, Mr Jones looked down and his eyebrows heightened in I think was a little shock. "Your boyfriend seems to be a very sexual being, Miss Gilbert. I'm not sure it's suitable to read this one allowed." He handed me back my phone and pointed at me, "Turn it off. Detention tomorrow." He ordered sternly and I placed my phone back into my pocket after tuning it off.

I didn't dare look at the message, I'd look at it afterwards.


I rushed from the room as soon as school was over with azz following close behind. "So?" he asked as he nudged my arm on our way out of the class.

"What?" I questioned. Mentally begging he wouldn't bring up Damon's text.

"Damon's text, what'd it say?" and the dreaded question was asked. I sighed and took my phone from my bag and handed it to him. "Wow, jones' right." He smirked and I snatched the phone from him to look at the text for myself.

-If you want I could get access to the science room and I could give you a very physical lesson on sex ed. ;) I happen to have a good spanking technique for naughty girls. - Damon

"I cannot believe jones read that." I face-palmed my head with wide eyes.

"I can't believe I read that." he chuckled as we got into the car.

-I hope you're happy, my teacher saw that text. Xx - Jessie

-did he say anything about getting us an empty classroom? Xx- Damon

I ignored the text knowing I'd see him in a short length of time anyway.


As we entered the grill seeing Damon was in here anyway. We walked over to him as he sat with a glass of bourbon in hand.

"So where's this costume?" he tried to swipe the bag from my hands but I held it behind my back.

"It's a surprise." I smiled as he smirked.

"You better have chosen well." He pointed at Azz before calling over the bartender.

"What's your poison?" he turned to me.

"Whisky" I answer simply.

"Azz?" he leaned behind me to look at him.

"Campari." He smiled back at Damon before he turned to me. "We won't get served" he whispered in my ear I shook my head and waved him off.

"I need to see some id." The man behind the bar asked. Damon leaned over and said something that I think was 'no you don't'. I shrugged it off a downed my drink in one.

"If I knew we were planning to get drunk I'd have ordered shots." Azz giggled and Damon pulled my chair closer to him and put his arm around my waist.

"I'm not drinking anymore alcohol until tonight." I informed sternly.

"Boring." Azz downed the rest of his drink and I hit his arm playfully.

"Jess we should go, we need to get ready. Thanks for the drink damon." They exchanged a smile.

"What happened to me having you to myself today?" he pouted and I kissed him before standing up. I moved to leave after Azz but Damon grasped my hand before I could take a step. "We need to talk about something very important. But don't worry." I nodded and he kissed me while Azz stood waiting. "Love you." I smiled and kissed his cheek before leaving.


"I felt terrible." I stated to Azz as we got into his car.

"Don't you love him?" he asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Yes, of course I do." I said clearly.

"Then why don't you tell him? What is it with you and not being able to say 'I love you'?" I sighed and looked down at my hands.

"It was. The last thing I said to mom and dad." I sighed again and looked up to see sympathetic face staring back at me. I felt tears threaten my eyes as Azz hugged me closely. I'd never told anyone why I don't say it anymore, but I needed someone to know a reason behind me not telling Damon about how I really feel, so who better than my best friend?

"I'm sorry." I nodded against his shoulder and pulled away. "Come on. Let's take you home." I nodded again. The ride was quiet, but it was expected.


Damon's POV:

Vicki was laying sprawled across a bed looking forever bored.

"What are you doing?" I questioned, hoping to take my mind off Jessie.

"Just contemplating the next hundred years." She looked over to me and I sat on the edge of the bed next to her.

"Why did you do it?"

"I was…Bored." I answered plainly.

"You did this to me out of boredom?" she held herself up onto her arms as she asked.

"It's one of the pitfalls of eternity." I informed.

"Now I'm bored. And all I can think about is blood. I just want some blood. I can't think about anything else. What is that about?" She ranted as I turned to face her, seeing she was terribly agitated.

"That'll ease up. You've just been cooped up all day. Let's go." I motioned to the door with my head.

"Where?" she questioned with a smile.

"Your life was pathetic. Your afterlife doesn't have to be." Surly Jessie would be thankful, right? I pulled her off the bed and walked down the hall, of course seeing brooding Stefan.

"What are you doing?" he asked following us as we made a corner.

"She's been cooped up in your room all day. She's not Anne frank." I sarcastically replied.

"No, no, no. Hey, hey Now's not the time for this." He held the door shut with his hand as he came up to my face.

"If you're gonna teach her, teach her. Show her what it's all about." I ordered.

"She could hurt someone." Was he says.

"I'm not takin' her to Disneyland. We're goin' in the front yard. Come on." I held the door open for her as she skipped past us.

"Bad idea, Damon." I rolled my eyes. All I wanted to do is get Jessie out of my mind even if it were for a couple minutes.

"She's a vampire, Stefan. She should know the perks." I stopped when I was standing opposite her.

"Like what?"

"Like…" I sped behind her using the vampire speed she now has and tapped her shoulder with a smirk to prove how much fun being a vampire is.

"Whoa. How did you do that?" I sped again to stand behind her and whistled to let her know where I was.

"Ho, ho." She chuckled and moved a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Come on, Vickie. Live a little. No pun intended." I motioned to the area around us until she sped through the trees. Stefan came to stand next to me as we looked in front of us. This was a bad idea. Hearing a rustle behind us we turned to see nothing.

"Uh…" I made a tschh sound. "My bad."


Jessie's POV:

After I got ready I came out the bathroom seeing Azz in a vampire costume and laughed.

"What? Is it not good?" I shook my head and thought about how Damon and Stefan don't dress up and how they have to be in disguise all the time.

Wait if they weren't in disguise I wonder if they would actually wear a cape or something. I giggled to myself before seeing Azz click his fingers in front of me.

"Did you hear what I said?" I shook my head and he sighed. "I said you look hot and I chose the perfect costume to set Damon off." I rolled my eyes and he sat me on my chair to add some light makeup and red lipstick.

He stood up as he finished and handed me some cop-like glasses that made my outfit complete.

Hearing the vibration against me desk I immediately grabbed my phone and saw Damon's number on the caller ID.

"What you wearing?" was the first thing he said.

"Nice try. I'm not telling you what my costume is." We made our way downstairs into the kitchen seeing Elena mothering Jeremy again.

"Fine, you got me. I lost my crystal." How did he manage to do that?

"You barely had it a day Damon. When did you last have it?" I asked with a sigh.

"Last I remember having it…was when you gave it to me this morning."

"I'll check here. Maybe you dropped it on the car park when you dropped me off. We'll find it. Don't worry." I assured him.

How clumsy can he be? And I thought I was going to lose it?

"Thank you. I'll see you tonight. Wait-" I hung up and followed Azz into the kitchen only now realizing he was about to say something else.

"Wow cleavage much?" Elena pointed out.

"Jealous much?" we both giggled, and it was the first time in a long time. "What's up with him?" I asked and pulled a bottle of water from the fridge and taking a small sip.

"He wants to see Vickie." She sighed.

"Maybe it's not such a bad idea." I shrugged remembering this morning and how she didn't react to me being there.

"I'll go get you some shoes. I'll be right back." I gave a thank you smile at Azz and he nodded his head in understanding.

"She threatened me Jess." I took a breath in.

"She seemed fine with me." I shook my head feeling a little confused. "If you provoked her then she was bound to. But as far as cravings go she seems fine." she sighed and shook her head.

"No. It's for the best until we know for sure that it's under control." As soon as Azz came down the stairs I took the shoes from him and put them on. I kissed Jeremy on the cheek and he kissed mine.

"Bye Jer." I watched as he ran upstairs.

"Bye love you." I sighed at his words and we left to go to the school.


I, Caroline, Bonnie and Azz stood in a half-circle talking about random things, like how good the party is this year and then someone I haven't seen in quite a while shows up with cider,

"Tyler!" I shouted as I hugged him and he tried the best to hug me back although he was holding like three drinks so I pulled from him quickly before he dropped the drinks.

"Wow. You look hot. I haven't seen you in ages. Cider for the ladies? It's a Lockwood special." I took one from him and noticed Azz already got one earlier.

"No way. Last year, I was hung over until thanksgiving." Bonnie stood with her hand on her broom. I looked at her chest noticing Damon's necklace.

"Lightweight. I am going to drink until someone is hot enough to make out with." Caroline announced.

"Sounds like a plan. Although I do see someone hot enough to make out with." He winked at me before Both Caroline and Tyler clinked glasses and I excused myself.

-where are you? I think we could use that talk right about now xx- Jessie

-grill. Why? Xx- Damon

I walked straight into the grill.


Damon's POV:

After the mayor leaving I thought I'd better make a good impression so I made my way to carol Lockwood.

"Let me guess. Daisy Buchannan? I love a good 'Gatsby' look." I commented. Hopefully it'd get me somewhere in the good books.

"I've met you before. Aren't you Caroline Forbes' boyfriend?" she asked.

"Ah, she had a schoolgirl crush on me, but- It was cute, but I had to let her down easy. Now I'm in a rather serious relationship with the stunning Jessie Gilbert." I smiled thinking of her in a short costume of some sort.

"It's Damon, right?"

"Ah, you remember." this is interesting.

"Well, you have a face that's hard to forget. What's your last name, Damon?" she's flirting with me?

"Salvatore."

"Salvatore?" she leaned forward. I think this woman had too many martinis

"mm-hmm." I hummed in response.

"Are you any relation to Zach?"

"Zach's my uncle." I informed and leaned closer to her. "How do you know Zach?" I compelled.

"Are you ok?" she replied after a while. Obviously she's wearing vervain. Damn it.

"Yeah. I think there's something in my eye." I lied and rubbed my eye a little.

"Well, I know Zach from the founder's council. You know, the Salvatore's were one of this town's original settlers." It was when she started talking I noticed it's her bracelet that has failed me of my compulsion.

"Yes, they were. I wasn't aware that Zach was a member. I just recently moved back home and haven't really had a chance to meet many of his friends." I smiled innocently hoping not to give myself away.

"Well, will you tell him to return my calls? I've left several messages." She asked a little suspiciously.

"Zach went out of town for a bit. But if it's about the vervain-"I just got an amazing idea to get the council off my back.

"You know about the vervain?" she questioned.

"Well, I'm a Salvatore. Of course I do." I acted as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Of course."

"Cheers." we clinked our glasses and I motioned for the waiter.

"So you need vervain?" I asked now sitting beside her a couple minutes later.

"Yes. My husband and I only have left what his parents left him, And Zach had promised that he could supply us with more."

"Well, I talk to him all the time, so why don't I just ask him?" I suggested and some humming noised were exchanged. "How much do you need? I mean, how many people, you think?"

"Well, there's our children, of course." She spluttered a little.

"Of course." I agreed.

"And, um, friends, family, and everyone on the council." I wonder how many?

"The council?" I questioned intending to find the number of people who want me dead in this town.

"Zach knows how many. But I am so late. My husband is not going to be happy with me." She informed me.

"Well, are you happy with your husband?" I flirted a little to try and boost up my first impression. maybe it'll help get more information from her.

"You're flirting with me." She smiled.

"You flirted with me first." Which was unmistakably true. Where's Jessie? She said she'd be her soon.

"True." She admitted. I motioned for her to be quiet then to come a little closer. And she did.

"I'm very happy with Jessie. And I'm incredibly in love with her. I hope you didn't take to me flirting too seriously."

"Of course not." She smiled. Disappointment greeting me in her voice.

"How's that search goin'?" I changed the subject.

"Oh, we had the founder's party, and anyone who arrived during the day was eliminated as a suspect." She informed me. This is interesting.

"Oh." I sounded.

"And all the rest were just dead ends, so mmm." She took one last sip of her martini. "Mmm, I gotta go." She said and shuffled a little and I moved out of the way for her.

"Ok." She got out of her seat and I sat back in mine. My mouth immediately dropped when I saw Jessie walk into the grill. Immediately getting an erection.

"Hi Mrs Lockwood." She smiled and sat next to me in the booth, making it harder, in so many ways.

"Hi dear. You look…" she paused.

"I know it's a little much. But I didn't choose this outfit, it was Aaron so..." Carol nodded in understanding. Jessie turned to me then to the waitress that had just appeared.

"What can I get you?" a waitress asked as I crossed my legs under the table.

"Well, I must really be going." Carol politely informed. "Thank you for your information Damon. You look very 'bad cop' Jessie." She smiled and left. Finally, I uncrossed my legs with a sigh and Jessie giggled when she looked down at my lap.

"We'll have two bourbons." She ordered to the waitress for both of us. "Control yourself." She turned to me.

"You're making it a little hard for me." I replied honestly.

"I'd say I'm making it very hard." She squeezed my upper leg and at that moment I could have moaned. But I kept it down. "Listen. Bonnie has your crystal." My eyes shot open and I shuffled a little in my seat, readjusting myself as I did.

"The council are looking for a vampire." It was her turn for her mouth to drop. Our drinks were placed onto the table and the woman asked for Jessie's ID.

"These are on the house. She's shown you her ID." I ordered. I'm not in the mood to be polite.

"I can help you get your necklace back but it's not gonna be easy." I nodded.

"Why, thank you officer." I smirked down at her as I stole a look at how amazing her breasts look as they pushed together in her top

"Just doing my job sir. "She winked and glided her hand further up my thigh.

"You're teasing me." I stated and she smirked.

"So I am." I wanted nothing more than lay her on the table and do what I wanted to do most to her. I watched as she downed her drink and I followed her motion, doing the exact same thing. She took my hand and pulled my up off the seat.

"And where are we going." I asked in a seductive tone.

"To get your necklace back." She smirked and pulled me outside to where Bonnie stood in front of a cauldron full of candy.


"Hey Bon." She stopped in front of Bonnie and the both hugged before Jessie grabbed a lolly-pop from the large number of treats at hand.

"Where'd you get that?" I asked with a smile.

"From a friend." She answered blandly.

"Caroline?" Jessie asked politely.

"You know that's mine, don't you?" I asked with a half smirk.

"Not anymore." Bonnie sternly replied.

"Funny." I clicked my fingers. "I'd like it back, please." I said.

"I'm not giving it to you." Jessie sighed at Bonnie's answer. "I'll give it to Caroline, and she can give it to you if she feels like It." she answered bravely.

"Or I could just take it right now." I suggested, not needing an answer.

"Damon…" Jessie warned but I ignored it and held the crystal in my hands for a few short seconds and my hand began to burn. Jessie gasped and took my hand in hers and traced my hand with her fingers.

"Bonnie?!" Jessie shouted after her before sighing. "Are you ok? What was that?" I shook my head.

"I don't know but my hand is fine." she nodded and kissed me. Here comes the I-need-more-feeling again. I pulled her closer to my body but she pulled away before anything could be taken further.

"Come on." She pulled me by my hand until we reached one of the abandoned corridors that was decorated in cobwebs. She pushed me into a locker and kissed me desperately.

I turned so it was her that was against the lockers. I kissed down her neck until I reached her cleavage and licked there, earning a moan before returning back to her cherry lips. My phone began to ring and she groaned in annoyance.

"Answer. It's not like we can have sex here anyway." She sighed.

"and why cant we?" I questioned, kissing the tops of her breasts.

"because anyone can walk by." She breathed and I nodded before picking up the phone.

"What?"

"I Need your help." I furrowed my brows.

"Why?" I questioned.

"Vickie attacked Elena. I staked Vickie. I need you to take care of the body." I hung up and kissed Jessie again before pulling her with me to where all of the parked busses were, outside the building.

"And we're her why?" It wasn't until we turned the corner of a bus that she ran up to Elena seeing her crying.

"Lena?" she looked down and saw Vickie's cold grey body lay lifelessly on the floor. "Oh my god." she dropped to her knees by Vickie's side.

It pained me to see her so upset. "Vickie." She whimpered and I stepped closer.

"You should go. I got this." I turned to Elena.

She stood from the ground and looked at me with anger. "You did this. This is your fault." She spat.

"You confuse me for someone with remorse." She pushed me but it didn't affect me at all. The only thing that affect me was Jessie crying a little by Vickie's body.

Seeing that pushing me didn't work she made a move to hit me in the fact but I grabbed her hand before her hand could collide with my face.

"None of this matters to me, none of it. The only thing I care about is Jessie. It's because of her that I feel the slightest sadness. Be happy." I ordered and Jessie stood from the floor.

"People die around you. How could it not matter? It matters, and you know It." Elena slapped me on the face it was then that Jessie spoke.

"Lena. My friend just died and if you hit my boyfriend again when he wasn't the one to stake her, I will hit you." Tears in her eyes she moved to stand in front of Elena.

"Go hit Stefan. He could have just restrained Vickie but he didn't, he thought best to kill her. You want someone to be mad it? Be mad at him." tears spilled down both their cheeks.

"You need to leave. Your wounds are bleeding, and you need to leave." I threatened sternly and she left just as I intended her to.

"Come here." I pulled Jessie into my arms and rested my chin on her head as she cried into my chest. She pulled away after a couple minutes and looked up at me then back down to Vickie.

"We should…take care of her body." She wiped her tears.

"Anywhere in particular? Maybe somewhere a little away from town that you both visited?" I asked and she nodded her head with a small smile.

"Yeh I got just the place."

We arrived to the boarder of a forest just past the 'welcome to mystic falls' sign.

"Vickie and I always tried to run away. But this is was as far as we ever got before we started to miss our families." She chuckled slightly and wiped a stray tear from her cheek. I nodded and kissed her head.

"Wait here. I won't be long." She nodded and sniffled a little.


Jessie's POV:

I watched as Damon carried Vickie further into the woods. I sighed and thought about how much Vickie and I had gone through together. I know she'd laugh too if she saw where I wanted to bury her.

We really did try our best to get further but we just ended up drinking the bottle of vodka we'd brought for the trip and smoking whatever we had in hand. It wasn't long before Damon was back and by my side.

"Jeremy." I sighed. It was a silent drive back home but I knew I wouldn't be able to talk straight for a while.


"I just want him to forget everything that happened." I listened to Elena and it made sense.

"If I did it, there's no guarantee that it would work- Because of who I am, because of how I live. I don't have the ability to do it right."

"I can do it." I looked up to Damon and he gazed at me for a moment before looking back at Elena and Stefan. "If this is what you both want, I'll do it." I nodded at him as he looked down at me as we walked to stand behind Stefan and Elena.

"It's what I want." She looked at Stefan as she said this.

"What do you want him to know?" he asked us both.

"I want you to tell him that Vicki left town and she's not coming back, that he shouldn't look for her or worry about her. He's gonna miss her, but he knows it's for the best."

"And no matter what, we'll love him forever and we'll stand by him when things are hard." He nodded at me and I followed him through to outside Jeremy's room.

"wait." I stopped him. "Can I talk to I'm first?" he nodded.

"Of course." With that I entered Jeremy's room and he looked up at me as I sat on the bed next to him. He lunged at me and held me in a tight hug as he cried.

"I know." I pulled his head up and wiped his eyes as I sniffled. "It will be okay. I kn-know it's hard Jer, but it pains me to see you like this." I felt the tears trickle down my face as I watched his stream from his eyes.

"She asked me to go with her. I-I don't know where but we were gonna go Jess. It hurts and I want it to stop." He stuttered through his hyperventilated breaths.

"I know, I know. Damon's gonna help you forget." I said quietly as his head rested on my shoulder.

Damon, getting the message, entered the room and looked at Jeremy as he moved from my shoulder. I watched as Damon compelled him to forget and to sleep for the rest of the night.

"Thank you." I said as I hugged him and felt him arms latch around my waist.

"I'll go tell Elena and Stefan. I can stay if you want?" he asked quietly and I nodded in response before pulling away.

"I'll be back." I sighed as I looked down at my brother while he slept. I kissed his head before leaving his room to go shower.

It's a relief to feel the hot water fall down my body and wipe away my makeup. I emerged from the bathroom in my towel feeling refreshed but incredibly tired. When I turned I saw Damon shirtless lining in my bed with his hands behind his head as he watched me comb through my hair.

"How are you feeling?" He asked gently and I lay next to him letting his arm snake around my waist.

"Tired." I sighed and closed my eyes while he lightly kissed my neck.

"You're gonna catch a cold if you don't get in the covers." He nuzzled his head in the crook of my neck. He moved and I stood up letting the towel fall to the floor before getting under the covers next to him.

He held me tightly as he rested his head on my bare chest and I let my hands roam about in his raven hair, eventually falling to sleep, thankful for him being in my arms and I in his.
