Chapter Fourteen- thanks for the lovely reviews guys:D x

Mystic Falls had changed immensely.

It had modernised, the old shops replaced with cafes or technology shops.

Mobile phones? I fucking love you.

"Changed huh?" I asked Damon as we drove through the town and he chuckled. "Not enough." then I saw him frown and laugh. "Oh dear..."

"What?"

"It's my itty bitty brother!"

I jolted and looked to the side now where I saw that familiar person- Stefan Salvatore.

"Now we're rocking this town." Damon chuckled, turning into a side street and went through the woods.

We passed the old Salvatore place and neither of us said a word. We both remembered it all too well.

He stopped us now behind a thicket and said. "If anyone steals this, they'll soon find out what being blind is like."

"So delightfully bloodthirsty (!)"

"You know me."

As we came onto the main path, night was falling and he said. "Ooh. Hear that?"

"Wh-? Oh yeah. Campers. Come on, you can do better than that."

He raised an eye now, then vanished. I rolled my eyes as the screams started- show off.

I sat down now on a fallen tree and crossed my ankles, waiting for the big headed vampire to return. When he did, he just said. "Yeah, agreed. Wrapped up meals don't taste as good."

"Duh, come on already."

-ArBaN-

We finally ended up at a bar called the Mystic Grill.

And we both got the shock of our lives.

Damon smirked now. "Come on then, one more shot and I'll let yo-" but he suddenly stopped dead, his eyes widening. I turned now and felt my own widen.

"Katherine-?" Damon just said, eyes wide in shock, but as he went to get up, I put a hand on his leg and said with a frown. "That's not... her."

"But she-?"

"Can't you hear her heartbeat? She's human."

He didn't seem to hear me, his eyes were just fixed on her in shock. I had to admit- she was exactly the same as Katerina, and Damon could see that. He snapped to his senses now and just said. "What the-?"

"Agreed." I blinked in surprise, then gave him a glower as he went to get up again, but he sat down and just turned away from this girl.

He grabbed my shot now and knocked it back himself. "Someone high up must hate me." he chuckled, then got up. I watched him walk past this girl and out the door.

Wow. What were the chances of that happening?

Later on when Damon returned to the place we were staying at for a little while, he was frowning a little.

"And where have you been?"

"To annoy the little brother."

I sighed now as he joined me on the bed, then I put an arm around him. "What's on your mind?"

"Ah, nothing really. Hey- you so should meet my brother. See if he has a memory after all."

"Damon."

"What?"

"What's on your mind really?"

He scowled now and got up, pushing me away. "Nothing. Why won't you believe me damn it!"

"I did spend how many years with you! Remember that?"

He was silent now, then hissed. "I'm pissed off now. See you later."

"Damon-!"

He left now and I groaned, running a hand through my hair- he could be such a pain sometimes.

-ArBaN-

The next day I went shopping and stayed overnight in Charlottesville. Three days later I came back to find out just what he'd been up to. A girl named Vickie Donovan had been attacked. Great (!) so now he was in a pissy rage?

And where was he actually? He wasn't answering his phone and I couldn't find him anywhere.

I finally did get an answer now, and Damon went. "Hello! Finally! Where have you been!"

"Damn right! Where are you?"

"At the boarding house."

"Well come out then. I'm at-"

"Can't, sorry. A little pest took my ring."

Now I rolled my eyes- no wonder I couldn't find him.

"I'm coming over." I sighed, then ended the call, turning around and started walking towards the place, the bags in my hands rustling a little.

I knocked and it flew open, but then a hiss and the person stepped back as the sun burned him. "Finally!" Damon said again, slamming the door shut behind me. I set the bags down now and lowered my sunglasses. "What happened to you?"

He growled and said. "Find my brother. And get my ring!"

"Jeez, no need to yell!" I scowled, slamming him against the wall with a hiss. "Manners Salvatore." I smiled, then lent forwards and kissed him for a moment. He sighed now, then smirked. "Yeah, I'm sure I can wait an hour or two more." he just pushed me now against the opposite wall, lips on my neck.

I rolled my eyes and heard a low moan. Now I stopped him and went. "What was that?"

"Ah just Vickie."

"I thought she was dead or whatever?"

"Nah, she's getting there." Damon shrugged. "I was going to party with her, but now I've got another brand of entertainment." he smirked now and picked me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. "That sounds pretty good." I chuckled as he walked us up to a bedroom and onto the bed.

It wasn't until half an hour later when there was a-

"Could you guys like, keep it down? I have a banging headache."

Now I scowled at Damon. "I thought you said she was dead?"

"Getting there. Want me to go kill her?"

"Nah, just tell her to get out. If she refuses, kill her."

Damon chuckled, then yelled. "Oi! Vickie! Get out!"

I raised an eyebrow. "That was the big idea?"

He groaned and rolled his eyes, then got up and yanked his jeans on, leaving the room. Not long after I heard the door slam and Damon returned going. "The trash has left the building."

I grinned and pulled him back onto the bed.

-ArBaN-

When night finally fell, we both emerged, Damon hissing like a feral cat about his brother taking his ring.

"Urgh, relax a little more huh?" I told him as we walked through the woods, then a bang echoed and Damon frowned. "Not good I'm guessing?" then we ran towards the source of the sound.

We arrived and Damon snarled and ripped into this mans neck before he could stake the figure on the ground I recognized as Stefan.

"Look at you Steffy." I laughed as Damon pulled him up. He frowned at me. "I know you. You're- Vickie no!"

I turned now and saw her at the fallen guys neck. She ran off now, and I raised an eyebrow. "Well that went well." Damon chuckled. "Agreed sweetie."

Stefan now frowned at me. "I know you don't I? And your that person Damon smells of."

"Are you saying I sti-!" I started, but Stefan sighed. "Arianne de Lune. I remember you now."

I smiled. "Hello. Can I have a hug?" but I didn't wait as I hugged him tightly, then I chuckled. "Maybe you should shower more huh?"

"Cheeky girl." Damon scoffed, then pulled me away from him and said.

"He's boring, let's go."
