Chapter 9:

It all becomes clear.

It was 1pm when a call woke Kaylee, Damon's name flashed on the screen as she stared at the phone unsure whether she should answer it or not.

"Hello" Kaylee answered.

"Hey, Stefan and Elena are out for a few hours, you should drop by" Damon purred over the phone knowing she was going to say yes.

Kaylee didn't know why he didn't just come by her place; than they would have more than a couple of hours.

Kaylee debated with herself, she felt a certain pull towards Damon and a thrill of electricity whenever their lips touched.

"Sure, I'll leave in a few minutes"

Yeah you will Damon smirked to himself as he hung up the phone.

Kaylee parked her car out the front of the mansion and made her way inside, knowing she didn't need to knock because he would of heard her car as soon as it got anywhere close to the mansion.

Damon was stretched out on the couch; he sat up and smirked "About time"

"Not everybody has super speed" Kaylee teased as she started to walk over to the couch although before she could get there Damon rushed to her and pulled her to the couch on top of him.

Kaylee pressed her lips against his as she started undoing the buttons on his top, it had been five minutes when Kaylee heard the door open. She sat up as quickly as she could but she already knew Elena and Stefan had caught them sucking face.

Kaylee looked back at Damon, seeing the huge smirk on his face as he looked at Stefan and Elena as if he had achieved something.

Damon was just annoyed they came home so early; he wanted Elena to catch them with at least half their clothes off. Hoping the jealousy would make her realise how much she wanted him.

Kaylee cursed herself in her mind, feeling like an idiot as she put all the pieces together. The other day when Elena and Damon bumped heads about Kaylee staying the night and how Damon wanted Kaylee over at his place inside of hers. ELENA! Kaylee could feel the anger rising as she used all her strength to calm herself down, hoping the hurt wasn't written all over her face as she looked at Damon; the kitchen suddenly came alive as all the appliances buzzed on for a few seconds and then came to a sudden abrupt stop.

Elena stood speechless and Stefan could see the look she exchanged with Damon, annoyance and jealousy.

"We didn't know you would be in the lounge room" Stefan felt sorry for Kaylee knowing Damon was just using her.

Kaylee wanted to hurt Damon there and then, although she knew that would just ruin their silent peace agreement.

"I'll see you guys later" Kaylee stood to her feet, switching sympathetic glances with Stefan, as he knew she was being used and Kaylee also knew what was going on and what Damon was trying to do.

"Bye" Stefan smiled.

"Yeah bye" Elena quickly spat out just before Kaylee walked out the door.


Sunday:

Kaylee sat at a table at the grill stirring her coke with her straw over and over again. Kaylee spent the last hour cursing herself in her head, feeling like the biggest idiot on the planet. "At least Tyler didn't use me" Kaylee hissed to herself under her breath.

Kaylee hated saying his name or even thinking about Tyler; she hadn't ever let herself feel so much for a guy.

"Hey" Bonnie smiled as she sat across from Kaylee.

Kaylee looked up and smiled at Bonnie "Hey"

"So, still going to the parade tomorrow?" Bonnie asked Kaylee.

Kaylee nodded "Yeah, Caroline would skin me alive if I missed it"

"Wanna meet up and go together?" Bonnie asked noticing Kaylee's distant eyes.

"Yeah sure" Kaylee smiled, not sure what she was agreeing too, and no matter how hard she tried she couldn't pay attention.

Bonnie focussed on Kaylee glass and moved it toward her with her mind. Kaylee's eyes widened as Bonnie moved the glass back to Kaylee using her abilities.

Kaylee was definitely paying attention now "You're a" Kaylee's moth suddenly went dry. She never spent enough time in a place to share what she really was with anybody let alone meet another witch.

"Maybe we should go somewhere less crowded" Bonnie suggested as she stood to her feet.

They sat in Bonnie's car under a tree in front of the park which seemed to have very few bodies today.

"How did you know" Kaylee asked Bonnie, already having an idea of who told her.

"Elena told me" Bonnie confessed.

"I've never met another witch before"

"Me either, other than my grams" Bonnie fought back the overwhelming sadness as she thought of her grams.

"So what now?" Kaylee asked.

Bonnie shrugged her shoulders just as unsure as Kaylee was "I guess show each other what we can do" Bonnie suggested.

Kaylee concentrated and moved Bonnie's handbag from her feet to Kaylee's lap, she than concentrated on the contents and they rose in the air; circling around Bonnie's head before slipping back into her bag.

Kaylee debated with herself whether or not to try her new ability, although she had no idea what she could end up doing to Bonnie's car.

Kaylee concentrated on starting the car, crossing her fingers and hoping she didn't break it. Kaylee visualised the electricity flowing through the car and to her surprise the car came to life.

"Impressive" Bonnie finally managed to form words.

"How about you?" Kaylee asked, not sure how it all varied.

Kaylee watched Bonnie as her body tensed and she began muttering words under her breath; Kaylee only caught half of what she was saying as her voice was nearly a whisper.

Kaylee watched out the front window as the bonnet of the car lit up with tall dark flames and vanished just as quickly.

"So what do we do, meet up in a garage and "jam" together?" Kaylee asked sarcastically.

Bonnie let a little smile surface "I have no idea"

"So who knows about what you are?" Kaylee asked curiously.

"Elena, Stefan and Damon"

Kaylee tried not to show her resentment against Damon as she heard his name.

"He has that affect on most people, how about you?"

"Elena, Saltzman, Stefan and Damon" Kaylee gritted her teeth as the last name passed through her lips.

"So you know what they are?"

Kaylee nodded her head "Yeah"

"Then you know there are others threatening the town, I'm going to stop them" Bonnie's face turned cold and deadly serious.

"What do you mean?"

"A tomb was open and very angry vampires were set free, there's a device that can lead to their demise which is going to be used tomorrow night and I am going to make sure they are all killed but you can't say anything to anyone. Elena thinks I took off the spell but I couldn't do it, she will hate me forever but I can't let them kill everyone in this town"

"Ok, what device and what tomb?"

Bonnie forgot Kaylee didn't know about the tomb of vampires who had been let out.

"A long time ago vampires who lived in Mystic Falls were all captured and placed in a tomb; closed and sealed by a powerful spell. Damon wanted it open so he could free Catherine his former lover although she wasn't there; she had gotten out and left before it had been sealed, and the spell me and my grams did to seal the tomb didn't work and they all got free. The device was made a long time ago; and only works once. Elena asked me to remove the spell from it before she gave it to her mother but I didn't"

"You mean Damon has actually loved before?" Kaylee always saw him as a use and lose kind of guy; definitely not a relationship type of guy.

"Yeah and she looks exactly like Elena, creepy right?" Bonnie asked as she watched the confusion on Kaylee's face.

"How is that even possible?"

Bonnie shrugged her shoulders, just as clueless as Kaylee "No idea"


Kaylee walked through the door to an empty house as usual; her mum was rarely home before 4pm on weekdays, Kaylee still couldn't believe what she had just, heard and seen.

Kaylee noticed the over filling rubbish bag in the kitchen and tied it up and made her way to the bin outside.

She felt the sun gently shining down; her skin started soaking up the rays instantly, leaving Kaylee feeling relaxed; kids played in their front yards, running around and having fun.

Kaylee nearly jumped out of her skin as someone tapped her on the shoulder; she quickly spun around hoping it was one of the people she actually wanted to see.

"Hey" Damon smirked as he wrapped his arms around Kaylee and pressed his lips against hers. It took Kaylee a few seconds to remember she hated him. Kaylee pulled away; irritation plastered all over her face.

"Cute look" Damon teased as he pulled Kaylee in closer.

"Damon, just leave me alone" Kaylee ordered, giving him a warning look.

Damon's arms dropped knowing she was powerful for a young witch "Over dramatic don't you think, I know you want me" Damon smirked.

"I'm not your little toy to dangle in front of Elena every time you feel like making her jealous"

Damon held his right hand over his heart as if he had been hurt "Ouch, and as if you weren't using me for a bit of fun"

Kaylee rolled her eyes and started walking away from Damon who walked by her side matching her stride effortlessly.

"I'll call you later" Damon smirked before disappearing.

Kaylee slammed the door behind her; angry Damon could act so coldly and act as if everything was ok.


It had only been twenty minutes when there was a knock on the door, Kaylee stood to her feet and left the couch "I told you already, go away" Kaylee growled as she opened the door.

Tyler stood with his hands in his jacket pocket confused "Maybe I should go" Tyler turned his back to her and Kaylee gently tugged his arm.

"Sorry, what's up?"

Tyler faced Kaylee feeling regret and anger at himself for letting her go "I was bored, wanted to know if you wanted to hang out or something" Tyler kept his gaze on the ground in front of him.

Kaylee couldn't say no, especially since he looked so innocent and cute "Sure, come in"

Kaylee turned on the television and popped in a DVD, leaving in my bloody valentine which she watched last night.

Tyler sat at the other end of the couch, not sure if Kaylee wanted to be close to him.

"Tell me straight, what went wrong?" Kaylee asked Tyler as she kept her eyes on the television.

Tyler moved closer but still kept some distance "Me, I just can't be a boyfriend at the moment and you deserve someone who will be there all the way for you"

"Why can't you be that guy?"

Tyler closed the gap between them and grabbed hold of her left hand, he could feel himself breaking, he knew at the moment he was too much of a mess to be in a relationship and was cursing himself for even starting anything although he couldn't stay away from her no matter how hard he tried.

"I just can't" Tyler replied fighting the feeling to kiss Kaylee.

Kaylee looked at Tyler confused, irritated and yet she felt comforted by just being near him. Kaylee smiled at Tyler; she didn't want him out of her life completely.

Kaylee leaned her head on Tyler's shoulder and started watching the movie again and Tyler relaxed and focussed on the movie hoping that would help him gather his strength to fight back his urge to kiss Kaylee.


Kaylee stood on the stairs which lead to a cellar she hadn't been before; cement walls and foundations which stabilised the floor above her. Kaylee could feel the heat radiating from the flames which light the floor a few steps below her. She scanned the room and saw bodies lying on the floor as the flames grew stronger.

Kaylee felt her breath get caught in her chest as her eyes fell on Damon laying on the ground; his eyes open as he scanned the area; trying to move and get up.

Kaylee immediately rushed down the stairs without thinking although before she could get to Damon the flames made a wall in front of her, blocking her way.

Kaylee knew she had to get to him; she started mumbling under her breath; a spell to tame the flames. The flames disappeared and Kaylee looked in front of her where Damon layed still trying to stand to his feet and escape.

Damon's eyes widened as he tried to yell out to Kaylee; an anguished scream escaped her lips; the fire returned stronger than before as it swallowed her up.
