Chapter Eleven: Bloodlines

I blinked my eyes slowly awakening as I felt a pounding in my head, I ran a hand through my hair only to feel something sticky coating my hand. I blanched, covering my hand was dark red blood. No wonder I felt bad as I slowly healed it, it was taking longer from my loss of blood. "Moring sleeping beauty." Damon smirked at me through the rear-view mirror. "where are we going?" I asked realising we were not only in a car but nowhere near Mystic Falls. "Did you know, you snore?" he questioned (avoiding my question) leading me to distraction. "No, I don't!" I shouted awakening Elena who had been asleep in the passenger seat.

"morning." He greeted as Elena looked questionably around the car. "where are we." Elena snapped looking angry at Damon who refused to meet her gaze. "Georgia." He muttered. "wait so you tell her but not me that's just cruel." I joked pretending to feel annoyed. "Georgia," Elena questioned before he could answer me. "no, no. no, we're not. Seriously Damon where are we." "Seriously were – were in Georgia." He answered. "Why!" Elena demanded just as I was about to question him myself. "well you didn't answer your phone or talk to me…so you left me no choice." He declared before asking "How are you both feeling." "I – I" Elena was unable to answer. "there's no broken bones I checked." Elena started to get aggravated as she demanded Damon to pull over, which he did. I stayed in the car watching them both argue about Kathrine and how Damon only wants her because of that. It was annoying really.

After about twenty minutes, Elena limped back to the car wrenching the back door open as she came to sit with me. She leaned against me resting her head upon my shoulder. "Mayrah, does he really only like me because I look like Kathrine?" Elena asked, and I hated the fact that she was so self-conscious about herself. "Of course not, he is your soul mate, not mine and definitely not Katherines, you belong together." I told her honestly as she smiled before trying to get some more sleep. "thank you." I heard Damon mutter as he lovingly looked at Elena through the mirror. It was my turn to smile, grateful that Damon loved my sister as I slowly drifted to sleep once more.

I awoke slowly to Damon pulling up to a small bar. I groaned still sleepy as I looked at my clothes. I was still in my PJ's and my hair looked a mess with unwashed mascara giving me a panda eye look. Sighing I climbed out of my car and trailed along after Damon and Elena who must have made up since they were holding hands. Inside the bar soft music was playing in the background, as Damon and Elena made their way to the bar. Where a dark-skinned, curly haired barista greeted Damon; jumping over the bar and tried to kiss Damon. Only for him to slightly push her away and hold Elena closer.

Smiling again I made my way towards the female bathrooms and inside a cubical where I changed my wrinkled PJ's for a pretty dress where the top was cream and had a sweetheart neckline. The skirt flared out reaching my knees and was light blue with a flower patter. I magicked my trainers into brown sandals and my jacket into a sleeveless Demin jacket instead. I washed the remainder of my make-up off my face and ran a hand through my hair until it looked presentable.

As I exited the bathroom I saw Damon and Elena sitting at the bar, talking to the same women as I made my way over. As I got closer I sensed it the raw power that most magic users have, she must have sensed mine too as she looked me straight in the eyes as I continued to make my way other. In that moment I didn't trust her, something about her magic rubbed me the wrong way – like she couldn't be trusted. They stopped talking as I sat down next to Elena. "So, what did I miss?" I asked practically ignoring the women. "sis this is Bree an old friend of Damon's." Elena told me as she finally let go of Damon arm. "is she now, so, Damon tell me if you have a witchy friend why bring me along?" I all but demanded as I looked him stonily in the eyes. I never got a response as my phone began to bring. "sorry, got to take this." I muttered before fleeing from the bar.

"Stefan." I answered still annoyed but away from that women I was finally calming down. "thank God, where are you, Elena and Damon?" Stefan asked, and I could hear Lexi and Zack in the background trying to speak to me over Stefan's voice. "Where in Georgia, Elena found about her likeness to Kathrine and I went to pick her up, we," I sighed "we were in an accident but where okay," I told them hurriedly when three shouts of what sounded from the phone. "anyway, now where at Bree's bar and I don't trust the women as all." I told them as I ran a hand over my face, what I really needed was a drink, but I wouldn't have anything offered to me in that establishment. "it will be okay, Mayrah keep strong." Stefan told me just before my phone died and the call was cut off.

As time went on I gave up trying to get Elena to stop drinking and now both she and Damon where having fun practically drunk as I sat in a corner watching them. I took my eyes off them for a minute only for Elena to have disappeared when I looked back. I rushed around the bar unable to find her, but I did find Damon as I rushed to him gasping. "What's the matter?" he asked looking worried. "I cannot find Elena" I answered worriedly as I continuously looked around the bar, I could feel Damon doing the same before he grabbed my arm and began to pull me out of Bree's bar, I'm sure out of the corner of my eye I could see Bree give me a smug smile.

As soon as we got outside I shivered, only just realising how dark it had gotten I changed my jacket for a warm coat as Damon bent down and picket up Elena phone…

Damon picked up Elena's sent as we began to hurriedly walk to where we though Elena was. "Mayrah, Damon No." we heard Elena shout as a vampire sped towards us hitting Damon in the legs, sending him crashing to the floor along with me as Damon still had a tight hold on my arm. He repeatedly hit Damon and sometimes me with a long metal pole, blood began to drip down my legs as he once again hit me instead of Damon. My screams filled the air along with Damon's grunts as I tried to use magic to push him away, but it didn't work, instead the black crystal around his neck lit up. Someone had given him a necklace that made magic impossible to use on him. My attempt at magic infuriated him as he bragged a barrel of gasoline and began to douche us in it. "NO!" Elena screamed temporally distracting him before he continued. The gasoline began to seep into my cuts as my body tried to reject it, causing me to scream once more as pain rocked my body.

"who are you?" Damon asked as he tried to move and cover my body. "that's perfect. You two have no idea." The vampire muttered. "what are you talking about? What did they do?" Elena asked "They killed my girlfriend." He answered the image of Sage ran through my head. "WHAT DID SHE DO TO YOU, HUH, WHAT DID SHE DO?" he shouted looking enraged as he poured on my gasoline. "what did she do," I laughed "what didn't she do, she killed my parents when I was seven, savagely tore them apart and compelled me to watch. Then she attacked me twice, the first time I died, flatlined on the table and the second time she came to my town and threatened my family and friends. Now that stupid necklace will cease to work when the sun rises, and nothing will protect you, so I suggest you leave before I kill you, like I killed you little girlfriend." I spat as he advanced on my, kicking, punching and biting he abused my body but I needed his attention of Damon as the strongest of the three of us he needed to be able to fight if we were going to live through the night. I felt darkness creep past my vision had had begun to go bleary just as Damon pounced throwing him off me and sending a dagger through his stomach. Elena ran towards me, dropping on to her knees and gasping at what she saw. He hadn't caused me to bleed as I put a protection spell on me just before, so he started so he wouldn't be able to draw blood, that didn't mean that it hurt any less.

"will you be able to have blood?" Damon asked me and as I nodded he cut his wrist and gently placed it on my mouth I gagged as blood dripped down my throat, feeling better as it coursed through me and mended every broken bone and aching muscle. Then even though I felt better that I had in days he carried me back to the car and laid me to rest on the back seat. Elena joined me in the car, back in the front seat as Damon made his way back to Bree's bar where I'm sure a murder was about to take place. "why did you goad him?" Elena asked quietly I could still see the fear in her eyes when she look at me. "You are my sister and I didn't want you to get hurt, he would have killed you after he killed me and Damon," I sighed before continuing "he also wore a necklace which prevented magic to be used on him therefore, Damon was the strongest it was the only thing I could do, distract him enough so Damon could kill him." I answered not able to look at Elena as tears welled up in her eyes once more. "I can't lose you." She cried as I reached over to grab her hand and muttered "you won't, I will always be with you."

Then when Damon got back in the car, he lectured me for an hour and would have continued if I hadn't asked if I could go to sleep. Sometimes having over protective vampire friends was hard. I finally began to drift off to sleep before I shot up. "what!" demanded Damon looking puzzled. "we are not telling Stefan, Lexi or Zack," I told them firmly "right?" I asked uncertainly at their smiles. "we are so telling them." Elena smirked.
