Chapter 10

"I feel like I'm going crazy," Elena said as Bonnie, she and I sat around a table at the Grill, shipping on hot coffee while I munched on my cream cheese bagel. "Totally paranoid all the time"

"Elena," I said with my mouth full. I swallowed the whole thing down and wiped the crusts off the corners of my mouth. "It's totally understandable. With Klaus still being out there, who knows when he'll get even with us for trying to kill him" I said holding onto her hand.

"Why hasn't he made a move?" Elena asked letting go of my hand. "There has been no sigh of him. Nothing. Just my slow spiral into insanity"

"Join the club," Bonnie said. "Every time I close my eyes, I have that nightmare. On repeat"

"The same dream?" Elena asked.

"Yeah! Four coffins, Klaus is in one of them. It's weird"

"The same dream?" Elena asked Bonnie.

"Yeah! Four Coffins. Klaus is in one of them. It's weird"

"What if it's not just some dream? What if it's like…you know…witch dream?"

"It just stress," Bonnie said shrugging her shoulders. "I'll figure it out," Bonnie then turned her head and looked at me and gave me a suspicious look. "If it is a witch dream, shouldn't you have the same dream?" She asked me. "You know, now that you found out you're part witch you should be having some sort of dream…right?"

I shook my head back and forth. "No...I haven't been having any " I answered as I took a ship of my coffee.

"What about Justin? Has he?"

"He went back to New York for a couple of days…and if he did…he would have phoned" Bonnie nodded and took a ship of her coffee.

The truth was, I was having the same dreams as her. Every night I'm in the middle of the woods, late at night and its pitch black outside and I can't see a thing. The stars aren't even out. Then out of no where a fire lights up and I come to a clearing where there are four coffins and as I open up the one, there lays Klaus all dress up in a suit and tie and he's holding Elena's and my necklace and as I reach to go grab it, Klaus' eye pop open and his teeth sink into my neck and I wake up in bed. I talked to Justin about it but he doesn't understand the meaning of it yet. He wanted me to keep it under the hat until he understood it.

"And what about Stefan?" Bonnie asked, popping me back into reality. "Has there been any sign of him?"

I let out a huff. "I hope not. That bastard betrayed us. I hope I never see his ugly face again" I said as I looked into my coffee and took a ship of it.

"How is Damon handling it?" she asked.

"Damon is handling it the way Damon should" I said with a smile and took

Another ship of my coffee.

"Thanks a lot Damon," I said as I walked up the stairs where he was playing darts. "You told Elena about Jeremy and now she's freaking out outside about to scream at him on the phone"

"You are feisty when you are mad" he said looking at me after he hit a bulls eye.

I glared at him. "I'm not mad it's just that…I'm worried about Elena. She's been though so much and now with Jeremy I-"

"But what, Alex? He lost his job at the Grill. He can survive, Alex"

"But Elena's worrying that he's spiraling and if Elena is worried, then I am. Since him and Bonnie broke up, she sees that he's moody and he won't talk to any of us at home"

"It's typical teenager"

"Really? Do typical teenagers see ghosts and have all the people he care about die around him?"

"Not everyone," he said as he turned back to the dark board and aimed. "He still has you" he then shot at the board and missed the bulls eye. Damon let out a sigh and walked up to the board and picked the darts off the board.

"How are you? Are you ok?" I asked.

"What make you think I'm not ok?" he said as he turned around and looked at me.

"Come on, Damon. Your drunk…doesn't really make you look good"

"Hmmm," he said as he walked up to me. "What does make me look good" he said as he leaned in but I pushed him off.

"Hey! I'm not saying you look good, I'm just saying…I don't like you looking like this"

"Noted. See if I can make any improvements" he finished with a smile. I smiled back as we stared at each other for a while.

"Don't mind me" I heard somebody say behind me. I immediately turned around and saw who it was.

"Klaus" I said as I stared at him.

Klaus smiled at me as Damon took a step between Klaus and I. "You gonna do this in the Grill?" Damon asked. "In front of everyone? It's a little beneath you, don't you think?"

"I don't know what you are talking about," Klaus said as he walked up to us. "I just came down to my local pub to grab a drink with a mate," he turned around and looked at one of his hybrids standing behind him. "Get a round in, would you Tony?" Klaus asked. The hybrid, Tony, smiled at me as he pushed himself off the railing and started walking to the bar. Klaus looked back at me and smiled as my eyes shifted to his and kept glaring.

"I'm surprised you stuck around town long enough for happy hour" Damon said to Klaus.

"My sister seems to be missing," Klaus glared at Damon. "Need to sort that out"

"Are you talking about the gorgeous brunette psychopath that wants to decorate the town in blood," I glared at Damon as he glared at Klaus. "Or the cute bombshell psycho? Either one of them shouldn't be too hard to find"

"Truth is," Klaus said as he walked up to Damon slowly. "I've grown to rather like your little town. Think I might fancy a home here," he said as he took the darts out of Damon's hand. "Oh I imagine you're wondering how does this affect you," he said as he walked around Damon and stood in position to aim for the dart board. "The answer is: not in the slightest. Unless I get what I want and everyone behaves themselves you can go on living your little lives however you choose," He then turned around and looked at me. "You have my word" he said so soft.

I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at him. "Your word doesn't mean anything to me. What else do you want from us?"

"Well for starters," he said as he pointed the dart at me and took a step. I put my hand on my wand that was lying in my back pocket. "You can tell me where I might find Stefan"

"Stefan skipped town the second he saved your ass" Damon said as he took a couple steps towards Klaus.

"Well you see that is a shame," Klaus said looking at Damon. He then turned and fired the dart at the dart board and hit a bulls eye, so hard that he almost broke the board in two. He then turned around and glared at Damon. "You brother stole from me. I need him found so I can take back what's mine"

"Do we look like Stefan?" I asked, sarcastically. Klaus glared at me. "Why don't you go find him and deal with him yourself?"

Klaus took a step towards me but Damon took a step in front of me. Klaus stopped and looked at Damon and smiled. He then looked back at me. "Well, this is me broadening the scope, sweetheart" he ended it with a smile.

I kept glaring at him and I pulled my wand out and raised it up a bit. "Now leave" I said, sternly.

Klaus kept smiling as he backed away and then left Damon and I alone.

After I left the Grill, I went home with Elena and Alaric, Justin, Elena and I discussed about Jeremy's behavior lately. When Jeremy came, home he told us he started hanging out with Tyler then things got worst when Elena told him he couldn't hang out with Tyler anymore. Jeremy then got angry at her and invited Tyler in. After Tyler left, Jeremy got a call while Elena, Alaric, Justin and I started talking. Next thing we knew, Jeremy was on the road standing in front of a moving car and Alaric ran to save him. After Damon came over, we decided that we needed to find Stefan and thanks to Bonnie, we knew exactly where to find him.

"I thought Bonnie said this place lost all it's mojo?" Damon asked as we both walking up to the abandon witch house.

"She did. They weren't very happy that she brought Jeremy back to life. Now…I think they want to tell her something to give her a heads up"

"I hate witches. So fickle…Passive aggressive…"

When we got up to the house, Damon entered first.

"Stefan!" I called as I followed in after Damon.

"Come on, Stef," Damon said as he continued on walking in until he reached the sunlight and started burning. He started covering his face until he ran into the shadows. "Really?" Damon called looking at the house. "Still?"

"You had you're ring on when you walked in," I said. "Why isn't it working now?"

"Witchy spirits aren't a big fan," he said looking at me and then looked back at the house. "And they use their juju to screw with my daylight ring!"

"Then go wait outside like a good boy" I said pointing to the door.

"Alex-"

"Go wait outside until I find him" I said as I walked into the house and found some stairs. I then continued down the stairs into the basement. "Stef?" I called. "Are you here?" I walked around the corner and saw this big empty space.

"Go away," I heard. I turned around and saw Stefan leaning against the wall, glaring at me. "You shouldn't be here, Alex"

"I'm not leavening until I get your help. Bonnie told me you were here"

"Well Bonnie sucks at keeping secrets" he said as he pushed himself off the wall and walked up to me.

"I'm not asking you, but I'm telling you to give Klaus his family back. You need to do it"

"Oh, really? Is that what I need to do?"

"He compelled Jeremy to stand on the road and wait for a speeding car to hit him. That's step number one. Step number two…he could hurt anyone of us. He'll do it until he gets those damn coffins!"

"Alex, stop talking," I glared at him. "I'm not giving Klaus anything"

"Are you an idiot? He almost killed Jeremy! My cousin! If he tried it once, he'll try again!"

"Not really my problem" he said quietly.

I glared at him as I raised my hand and slapped him right across the face. "I hope you rot in hell for all I care!" I screamed at him as I walked around the corner and up the stairs.

As I walked around the corner and out to door, Damon walked up to me. "That Didn't go over well" he said.

"I don't even want to talk about it" I stated as I continued walking straight forward.

"Let me talk to him" Damon said.

"Forget it!" I screamed as I turned around and looked at him. "Besides, good like getting in with all that witchy voodoo going on in there" I said as I gestured my hand towards the house.

Damon then started walking up to me as he dug his hands in his pocket and pulled out his car keys. "Here," he said as he grabbed my hand and placed his keys in it. "Take my car keys. I looked down at my hand and then back up into his icy blue eyes. "You go talk to you brother and figure out what to do next, I'll talk to mine"

"But-" Before I could stop him, he was already walking towards the house.

When I got back into town, I parked Damon's car in front of the house and went inside. I guess I could have just used magic and flashed myself home but I didn't know what to do with Damon's keys. As I walked into the house, I saw Alaric just get up from the couch which Elena hovering over him like a mother with her child.

"Alex" Elena said when she noticed me standing there at the base of the living room.

"Hey," I said to her and then focused my attention on Ric. "Ric, when did you…awake?"

"Oh just as few minutes ago"

We then heard somebody's foot steps coming from the kitchen and saw that it was Justin. He stared at Alaric. "You're up," Justin said. "How are ya?" "Fine" Ric said.

I looked at Justin. "When did you get into town?" I asked.

"About an hour ago," he said. "Elena called me and told me what happened.

"How is Jeremy?" Alaric asked, looking at Elena.

"Hating me" she said as she still stood behind him. "Hating life. Hating the fact that we can't even have a family dinner without somebody dying before dessert"

I then noticed Alaric shifting back and forth. "Ric, are you alright?" I asked as jumped down the step and saw Alaric bend down and started coughing in his hand and saw the blood in his hand.

"Ric!" Elena and I said at the same time.

"Something's wrong," he said as he slowly started walking towards the front door. "The ring" He said before collapsing on the floor.

Justin and I quickly kneeled by his side and tried to help him. I turned and looked at Elena. "Call 911!" I screamed.

She nodded and ran to get a phone. Minutes later, the paramedics arrived. The door bell rang and I ran up to get it.

"What happened?" One paramedic asked.

"He was on the street and got hit by a car," they then walked pass me and examined Alaric as Justin and Elena stood behind him watching. "He was coughing up blood and-"

"Get his vitals" The Paramedic interrupted me.

"Pulse pretty weak," the other one said. "Looks like internal bleeding. We gotta get him outta here"

"Let's move"

"Let's not and say we did," I heard somebody else say. I saw Justin, Elena and the two paramedics look at something behind me. Elena's eyes were wide open. I turned around and saw that hybrid from the Grill leaning against the door. "Why don't you two meet us at the hospital?" he said as he compelled the paramedics.

"You can't" I whispered. I turned around and saw them pick up their bags and walked pass me. "You can't just leave him like this!" I glared at the hybrid as I whipped my wand out of my back pocket and pointed it at him. "You get those paramedics back right now before I flash you ass to another universe!"

"You can still save his life, Alex," he held his wrist up and showed me the bare skin. "Here. Take my blood. He then sighed loudly as he looked at the door frame. "I can't get in," he said looking back at me. "You're gonna have to invite me"

"The hell I will!"

"Then why don't you go find a spell to save you're friend," I didn't say anything. "Oh that right. I wouldn't be here if you already had one"

"We didn't do anything to you! Why are you doing this?"

"Klaus asked for his family. You didn't deliver" Ric then started coughing. Elena and Justin ran to his side while I stood there still pointing my wand at the hybrid. "Might want to invite me in, Alex" I glared at him as I shook my head back and forth.

All of a sudden, the hybrid jerks a bit and falls the ground. My eyes watch him it the ground and then look up to see Jeremy standing on the sidewalk with a crossbow in his hands.

"What the hell, Jer? Where did you learn that?" I asked.

"He's not dead yet" Jeremy said as he walked up the stairs and into the house, passing me. I watched him walk into the kitchen and come back with a big knife in his hands. He then walked pass me and kneeled beside the 'dead' hybrid.

"You're not-" But before I could finish my sentence, Jeremy already raised the knife up and chopped off the hybrids head. I screamed as I covered my eyes.

"Now he's dead," I heard Jeremy say. I then peaked through my fingers and saw Jeremy stand up, still looking at the body. "We've gotta get Alaric to the hospital now" He said as he dropped the knife and ran into the house, pass me. I just stood there frozen in shock. After the many experience of death I have witness, this one had gotta been the worst of them all.

Elena left to go return Rebekah to Klaus as I stayed home and got rid of the blood off the porch. I told Justin to go with her to protect her. I asked Damon to come over and get rid of the body. I decided to use magic to get rid of the blood stain because I couldn't stand the sight of scrubbing the blood off the porch.

I sat in the living room, processing everything when I heard Damon's big black boots hit the hardwood and walk straight towards me. "Is it gone?" I asked, looking down at my hands.

"Yeah," Damon said. "Tony to headless hybrid is down at the bottom of Steven's Quarry"

"And Alaric?"

"Took care of him, too. He'll be fine. How are you?" He asked still standing in front of me.

"I used magic on the porch. Hopefully, I didn't miss a spot"

"Alex," he said. "Look at me," he demanded. I let out a sigh as I raised my head and saw him standing there. "It's gonna be ok"

I let out a small laugh. "That's what you say all the time but it never is 'ok!'" I yelled. I shook my head and looked back down at my feet. "I need to tell you something," I said. "And you're not gonna like it," I looked back up and saw the worried look in his eyes. "Elena made a deal with Klaus. She gave him back Rebekah"

"What?" He looked at me like I was crazy. He pulled up a chair and sat in front of me. "No. No, no, no she did not do that. Rebekah is gonna come here and try and kill Elena"

"I told Elena it will be fine and I don't think Klaus will let her because of him needing Elena to make hybrids"

"So now you're trusting him?"

"Are you crazy? No, I don't but I…lately…I fell like I can trust no one. With this Stefan situation…he's not going to just give Klaus those coffins"

"My brother is…sort of running his own show right now"

"Oh yeah. Well my cousin just cut off a hybrids head right in front of me," I then buried my face in my hands. "I can't deal with this. It's so much. Elena's freaking out about Jeremy," I looked back up at him. "And who can blame her? He's only 16 years old. When I was 16 the only thing I had to worry about was getting the next sweet deal and impressing Riley the cute baseball catcher not…Vampires, Werewolves and Hybrids ruining my everyday life"

"Alex"

"Damon…I don't' think I can do this…to my family anymore. Especially Jeremy. I have to…help them. I have to-"

"Alex," he stopped me by grabbing my face. "You'll help them. We'll help them. Ok?" I nodded.

After Elena and Justin came back, Elena asked Damon to compel Jeremy to go to Denver and stay there fore a while. After he did that, I went outside to show Damon out the door.

"I wanted to help them," I said as I walked out the door. "But that…that was more then help"

"You just saved his life, Alex," he said behind me. "Take it from me, strange is bad, dead is worse"

I turned around and looked at him. "Was that you're motto when we asked you to compel him on Halloween?"

"Look, I know he found out and he got over it," he then walked up to me and stood beside me. "Again: not dead, Alex," he then stared at me straight in the eye. "He's lucky to have a family like you"

"Thanks" I said with a smile.

"No problem"

"Don't say that because it wasn't 'no problem'. You do so much for me and always get nothing in return. If you never came into my life…I don't know what I would do"

Damon stared at me as he took a big gulp. "You should know this, Alex. Stefan didn't screw us over. He screwed us over but he had a good reason"

I stared at him with a confused look on my face. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"He saved Klaus to save me. Then he stole the coffins to get even"

"I don't believe that? Why would he steal it if he wanted to protect you? I don't get what it means"

"What's it even mean? Means I'm an idiot. 'Cause I thought for one seconds that I wouldn't have to feel guilty anymore"

There was a pause.

"Guilty about what?" I asked softly.

He shifted his body and faced me. "For wanting what I want"

"And that is?" He stared at me for a long time before I realized he meant me. "I…I can't-"

"I know. Believe me, I get it. Brother's girl and all" he said with a smile. He then turned and took a step down the porch but then stopped. "No! No, you know what?" He asked as he turned around and looked at me. I turned my head and stared at him funny. "If I'm gonna feel guilty about something, I'm gonna feel guilty about this" he said as he walked up to me, grabbed my face and pressed his lips against mine.

I could feel the sparks between out lips again. It was like the time at the boarding house all over again. The same type of passion. The same type of energy that I never got when Stefan kissed me or Mason or any other boy I ever kissed.

Damon then pulled apart from me and stared into my eyes. "Good night" he said with a smile as he pulled away and walked down the stairs and to his car.

Again, I was left on the porch frozen. There was a part of me inside that wanted to run up to him and press my lips against his again…but there was another part of me that hated myself for thinking that or the matter of even liking that kiss. Is it possible to be in love with 3 men at the same time?
