Chapter 11

Damon's POV

We had to go to the high school, to find Alaric. Just who I wanted to see right now. We're all in his classroom right now, talking things over.

"Stefan is in the house. Damon's a vampire he can't get in, Alicia can get in but she can get easily captured. I would go but," Elena started.

"But you're life is valuable. And yours on the other hand is," I said.

"Stefan told me about your ring," Elena said.

"What about it?" Alaric asked.

"Let me recap. You tried to kill me, I defended myself. You die, and according to my brother your ring brought you back to life. Am I leaving anything out?" I asked.

"Yeah part where I try and kill you again, but don't miss," Alaric said.

"Alaric, its Stefan we're talking about. I told him we would save him. I wouldn't want him to die. And neither would you," Alicia said.

"I'm sorry, but it's not my problem," Alaric said.

"It's a shame, because the woman in charge of the vampires can help you find your wife," I said.

"You're lying," Alaric said.

"Oh, yeah ask the woman yourself," I said. "Coward."

Before the three of us could walk out, Alaric agreed. He pulled out this belt with a whole bunch of vampire hunting tools.

"What are these?" Alicia asked.

"Darts filled with vervain," Alaric answered. Alicia pulled her hand away from the darts.

"Is there something wrong with them?" Alaric asked.

"Yeah there is one of my weaknesses is vervain. Another is vampire blood," Alicia said.

"Okay just get me, and I'll get Stefan out," I said.

Elena took one of the darts, "What do you think you're doing?"
"I'm going with you guys," Elena said.

"No you're not," I said.

"I'm going too," Alicia said.

"And you're not either," I told her.

"I can't die. Which makes it easier for me to get in. And I could invite you in as easily as Alaric can," Alicia protested.

"But you could get hit with one of these darts and fall unconscious," I said.

"But I'm still going in," Alicia said.

"Fine. You can come with. But if you get hit with a dart, then I will be pissed at you," I said.

"But what about me?" Elena asked.

"You can drive the getaway car," I said.

"Come on I have to go in. It's Stefan we're talking about," Elena said.

"Damon just let her go. I'll protect her. I can protect her, while I'm inside," Alicia said.

"No, if you try and protect her, then you'll get yourself hurt," I said.

"Yeah, but if they try and bite me, they'll die," Alicia said.

"Wait a second. You mean if they drink your blood then they die?" Alaric asked Alicia.

"Yeah. A vampire tried to drink my blood and they almost died from it," Alicia said.

"Can I have some of my darts with your blood?" Alaric asked.

"Yeah sure. Go ahead," Alicia said.

"I still don't like this," I said.

"You don't have to," Alicia said.

Alaric led Alicia out for a few minutes and once they came back. Alaric held ten darts with a gold substance inside. We went back to Pearl's house and Alaric went to the front door. Alicia and I went to the back door and waited.

"Be careful," I told her.

"I told you not to worry about me," she said.

"Still, if anything happens," before I could finish she brought her lips to mine.

"Nothing will happen. I'll be fine and we'll get Stefan," Alicia assured me.

I kissed her once more and the door opened. Alaric brought Ms. Gibbons out and I asked her a few questions, and then snapped her neck. I told Alaric to go back to the car. And Alicia and I went inside, she closed the door. She went behind another door and stayed there. Someone came into the kitchen and opened the door Alicia was behind and she staked the guy. She came over to me we went downstairs to the basement.

Someone was walking over by the door and I grabbed a vervain dart and put it in his neck. We walked out and I saw Elena at one end of the hall.

"Are you insane?" I asked her. She shook her head and the three of us went into a room and there was Stefan hanging from a rope. We got him down and Elena started to take him away from the basement to the car. Alicia and I went upstairs to distract the vampires. She grabbed one dart and took in a deep breath. I knew she didn't like being close to vervain.

We went upstairs and the music was being turned down. I threw a stake and hit someone, they fell over dead. The vampires started splitting up. Alicia and I stayed out of sight. Then I went and attacked Fredrick while Alicia took on the others. I was fighting Fredrick and then two others came up behind me and threw me to the ground. I killed one of them, and Fredrick ran out of the room. The other one fell over dead. And standing there was none other than Alaric. I started to go after Fredrick until I heard a loud noise and there I saw a vampire attack Alaric and then I saw Alicia running over to help, when a vampire came behind her. I ran behind the vampire and tackled them. They got up and found a dart on the ground, they threw it at Alicia. It hit her in the leg, and she fell. I killed the vampire and went over to her she was unconscious. Alaric killed the one that attacked him.

We went outside and I had Alicia slung over my shoulder when we saw a whole bunch of vampire heading toward us.

"How vervain darts do you have left?" I asked him.

"One," Alaric responded and we went back inside. I set Alicia down gently on the ground.

We were ready to fight, when Pearl and Anna came through the door. They looked at the mess and were pissed. I picked up Alicia and we left. We went back to the car when Elena started to ask many questions. But I told her to stop. When we got to the house I took Alicia upstairs and then I went downstairs to check if any of the demigods were back. Thalia and Grover left earlier. But Nico and Aramis came back just now.

"What happened?" Aramis asked.

"We fought a whole bunch of vampires and Alicia almost got herself kill twice," I said.

"New town, same old Alicia," Nico said.

"Wait she's like this all the time?" I asked.

"Dude, she's dating you, we're in a town full of vampires, and she's in a fight with her mom who is Athena. Obviously Alicia is prone to danger," Aramis said.

"And you would know this how?" I asked him.

"I'm best friends with Alicia. And I used to date her. I would know her better than to stay home and worry about everyone. She likes to be in the danger," Aramis said.

Elena came downstairs," She's up guys."

I went upstairs and saw Alicia and Elena talking. Elena left the room and I took her spot.

"I thought I told you to be careful," I said.

"I was being careful. But I don't have eyes at the back of my head, so I couldn't see her coming," Alicia said.

"You could have gotten hurt worse than this," I said.

"But I didn't. And I wouldn't get myself badly injured," Alicia said.

"Alicia, you don't know how happy I am to see you still alive," I said.

"I'm guessing you're very happy," she said.

"I love you. You know that right?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I do. And I love you too," she said and I kissed her. This turned out to be a very good day.
