As they got home Britt got down and kissed Atems cheek then walked upstairs as she went to shower. A lot had passed through her mind in the time it took to get home. "If we keep traveling together then he'll eventually get hurt. Maybe I should just take a break from him for now...but then he does want to protect me.." She thought knowing right now she needed all the vampires she could get on her side. But something else was bugging at her, which was why hadn't there been any vampires in this town? Normally when they came to a town there had already been a vampire somewhere in it.

After she got out of the shower she dried off then put the fresh clothes on as she walked to her bedroom and went to bed for school. Zoey and the others came in later and they all got ready for bed as they knew school was going on tomorrow. Atem had a lot on his mind so he was last to go to bed as he knew something was going on and he just wasn't sure what.

Within the next morning they all had got ready then went to school. Zoey talked to Britt about joining the cheerleading squad and Britt nodded as they did need to blend in. Looking at the guys she smiled at them "Hey, why not you all try out for the football team. We do need to blend and that would be the best thing." She told them. Yugi, Atem, Joey, Bakura and Tristan all looked at each other and gave it some thought but then they looked at Britt and shrugged. "we can try." they said and Britt nodded to all of them.

School was like at any other school but when they got to social studies class Britt tried paying attention since she wasn't one to normally like history except Ancient Egyptian history. Zoey thought this could be the best thing for Britt and everyone but it would mean never returning to Domino city. Well maybe for not a very long time until they knew that everyone was safe now.

So after school they all split up to do extra activities that would make them seem so not together. When they were told they'd be able to find out the next day Britt was kinda excited. Walking to leave a car pulled up and Damon looked at her "get in girl. We need to talk." He said and she ignored him as she kept walking. Parking his car he used vampire speed to get in front of her "I said get in the car." He told her as he looked in her eyes. Britt realized then that he was a vampire but even though she felt the need to run she couldn't.

Damon grabbed her by her arm and led her to the car. Placing her in the passenger seat he drove off knowing he needed to talk to her away from her Vampire company. When Britt realized where she was she glared at him. "How dare you!" She said to him and he looked at her "shut up. Now how about you tell me when you started traveling with Vampires?" He asked her and she scoffed as she looked out the window. "My friends and boyfriend will find me." She told him and Damon laughed "oh I'm counting on it." He told her.

Britt was trying to figure out this guy but she had figured out something that he was a vampire but not like Atem or her friends. She took a good look at him and she had to admit he wasn't bad looking but she still preferred her king over anyone. Her item glowed as she felt almost in danger but then in a way not so much. "So what brings you and your group to Mystic falls Ms. Petrova?" He asked her and Britt looked out the window "Just trying to figure out where I'd like to stay." She told him.

Back at school Zoey and everyone was waiting for Britt to meet with them so they all could go home. "wasn't she with you?" Yugi and Atem asked and Zoey nodded but then she remembered something "she was late getting out cause Caroline Forbes wanted to speak with her." Zoey told them and something was just off. Nina and the others thought maybe a vampire had got to her but then Zoey's phone rang.

Taking her phone she answered and put it to her ear "Hello." she said and then heard Britt on the other end. "Hey Zo. I'm fine, um just someone wanted to speak with me. Damon Salvatore. So I'll be late getting home. Don't wait up for me." She told her then hung up. Zoey looked at her phone but something about that name made her wonder what was going on. "She said she's safe and to head home." She told the group.

They walked home but something was still off to all of them. Nina and the other girls couldn't place it but something else was going on. Zoey reassured them that Britt knew how to handle herself but everyone seemed to think differently. "look let's give Britt a chance. After all she seems to know what she's doing and she's not trying to be a damsel in distress." Yugi said and that made Atem look at him. Thinking about it he never thought of how he may treated her and now it seemed to make sense.

Damon didn't take her to one location knowing if he did then something or someone would just take her when he needed info. "So your boyfriend, he's a vampire. You have made yourself his little feeding puppet." he said and that made her look at Damon with a glare "How do you know that?" She said in spiteful words knowing she didn't need any danger in her friends direction. "I followed you last night, saw you feeding him your blood from that cut on your wrist." He said to her and she just looked down at her hand where the scar was. For once he stopped and then bit his wrist as he forced her to drink some of his blood.

Freaking out she literally thought he was trying to convert her like her other friends had been converted by drinking vampire blood. When he pulled his wrist away from her mouth she waited to see if anything was going to happen. Looking at everything she didn't see a problem but she saw her scar heal from where she had kept opening it to feed Atem. "whoa. You're a vampire but different than any of the others." Britt said knowing this was useful to her only if she could get him on her side.

Damon looked at her seeing the look in her eyes and he had to ask "what are you thinking?" He asked her and Britt looked at him. "How about you join my side? We could use a vampire like you to fight an army of vampires." She said to him. Damon started to drive again as he listened "I'm not really a person to join in on things like teams." He said and Britt sighed "what will it take to get you to join our side and if you could recruit any vampires you know of." She said and this intrigued Damon some. "Hm how about you be my date for the founders day party and let me try your blood." He told her and this made her stiffle her shock. "But I have a boyfriend." She stated and he smirked knowing that was true "it's either be my date for the founders party or no deal Ms. Petrova." He said and she sighed knowing when she was at a corner. "fine, you have a deal." She said to him.

Damon smirked as he knew he would win and he could see she was desperate for recruitment in her fight. When he was done talking with her he stopped in front of her home "Good night Ms. Petrova." He said as he let her out. Britt got out and she had to ask "when is the founders party?" She asked him and he looked at her "In a week." He told her. After that she closed the door and walked inside where everyone was quickly at the door when she walked in.

They all looked at her checking for her being hurt but found nothing and she sat her book down "relax. I ran into another vampire and he's going to help us." She said to them. Nina, Atem and the others didn't buy it one bit as they had doubts when it came to another vampire. "What did he ask for?" Nina asked and Britt looked at her "For me to be his date at the founders party and a taste of my blood." she told her. Heather and Miranda spoke at the same time "and you agreed?" They said outraged and Britt sighed "we need all the vampires we can get on our team!" She said to them.

Atem was quiet and Britt looked at him "I'm sorry. It's the only way." She told him then went to her room to do her homework. It was easy to see that there was distance between them and Britt thought that may be a good thing because the more distance she put between her and Atem then the safer he would be from getting hurt. Zoey took a little while before she finally spoke up "wow I did not see this coming." She said and everyone agreed. Atem walked away angered from Damons agreement with Britt.

What'll happen now?
