An: So I'm finally done school! And I'm trying to write. Unfortunately, the laptop I write on is old and gets really hot. And now with this weather I'm sure you can see my problem. So I'm reluctant to write on it. But I'll try my best to write regularly. Thanks to Adidaskicker, Neensistx, paigeetvd, Pumpkin-love33, MolliePotter, winxgirl1997 for reviewing! Sorry for the wait.

Chapter 14

Elena was checking the phone book. She was looking for the address of a certain Bennett woman. There was only one listing for that last name. She knew the young witch lived with her grandmother. She was curious as to why she didn't live with her parents. Perhaps they were away on a trip. Elena's photographic memory quickly memorized the address and she got into her car. She drove through the winding roads of the suburb. She approached the street and turned onto it. She watched the house numbers and then came to the number 42.

Elena stepped out of her car and cautiously made her way up to the white house. Witches could be tricky sometimes. Some were civil to vampires, but more often than not they tried to give you an aneurysm. She walked up the wooden stairs and knocked on the old wood door. She felt a tingle on her knuckles where they hit the wood. Vervain. To a younger vampire it would be a noticeable burn but to her she only felt the slightest discomfort.

The door swung open. The old woman stayed inside the threshold. She was obviously well aware of the presence of vampires in Mystic Falls. The woman narrowed her eyes and reached for Elena's hand. She grasped it and knew immediately what kind of creature she was dealing with. Sheila Bennett dropped her hand and stepped further inside the threshold of her house. Luckily for her, Elena didn't want to harm them.

"What do you want?" she asked suspiciously.

"I am looking for a Miss Bonnie Bennett," Elena informed her.

"She isn't interested in seeing you," the witch spat.

"Well now, let's not be so hasty," Elena chuckled, "I might have something you want."

"I'm doubtful of that," Sheila said.

"I know you are a witch. You know I am a vampire. We both know that there are vampires residing in Mystic Falls. Wouldn't you like it if this town was vampire free?" she asked.

Sheila shook her head, "That won't happen."

"Alright then, I guess I'll leave," Elena said, knowing that Bonnie wasn't there.

Niklaus wouldn't want the old woman. Any strong spell might just take all of her energy. The younger one had a lot of potential though. With the proper guidance, she could be very loyal to Nik.

Elena was very fond of her older brothers. She was very loyal to both of them. She didn't care that Niklaus had a different father from the rest of her siblings. She wasn't as close to Finn or Kol because they were both younger than her. Finn wasn't much younger, but he had no interest in playing with her. Kol thought girls had cooties so they had never really spent much time together. In her childhood, you could often see her tagging along with her older siblings. They both had a soft spot.

She was grateful for her brothers' help with her new change. Elijah had found his transition fairly easy. He had good control over his bloodlust. Elena, who was often in despair after slipping up, was comforted by both her brothers. Klaus had the werewolf temper along with his vampire tendencies had a bit more trouble than Elijah, but still made time for his sister. Over the years, Elena had seen many horrible things; many of them inflicted by the human race, and started justifying her consumption of their blood. She had no dilemma now with drinking their blood. Of course, she usually just fed and compelled. She hadn't actually killed a person for years.

But back to the issue at hand, if Elena managed to gain Bonnie's support she could benefit from it. Not only would Nik be eternally grateful, but she'd maybe be able to get a new set of jewellery that protected against the sun's harmful rays. Her old set was getting a little old fashioned, she wanted something that would match the trends of this decade.

Elena knew that Caroline and Bonnie were good friends. She would go see if she was there. She knew that Caroline lived on the next street over. So Elena got into her little car and made her way over. She stuck to the speed limit even though her reflexes would never allow her to get into an accident. She could hear both girls in the backyard

The vampire walked up the path to the little yellow house. The garden was immaculate, with rose bushes, lilies, tulips and many other flowers she didn't know the name of. She rang the bell and waited. Sherriff Forbes came and opened the door.

"Can I help you?" she asked.

"I'm looking for Caroline? I just moved here and she's in most of my classes at school. I've been sick for a few days so I was hoping to catch up on what was covered. I don't want my grades to fall," she lied smoothly.

"Okay, she and a friend are out back. Come on in and I'll let you go out and talk to her," the blonde woman offered.

"Thanks!" Elena said and stepped into the house. The house was very well decorated. There were many photos of Caroline when she was younger with both her parents, but as you went down the hall the number decreased. They recent photos were mostly just her and her mom. Her dad must not be in the picture.

The sheriff opened the door to the backyard and left Elena to go talk to the girls. She walked at a human pace over to them.

"Hi Caroline!" she said.

"Hey Elena, we've missed you at school," she told her.

"Yeah, I got really sick and that's why I wasn't there for a while. But I'm better now. I was wondering if you could tell me what I missed," she explained.

"That sucks. What was wrong? And we didn't really do anything. Just review from last year," Caroline answered.

"Oh I just had a really bad stomach bug. Couldn't keep anything down!" she lied.

"Oh you poor thing," Bonnie chimed in.

"Elena, this is my best friend Bonnie," Caroline introduced.

"Hi Bonnie, it's nice to meet you," Elena said truthfully and held out her hand.

Bonnie reached for her hand and gingerly squeezed it. She let go almost as soon as she grabbed it. Elena noticed that she shuddered a little. Not enough for any human to notice, but just enough for a vampire.

"Caroline? You want to go inside and get us drinks?" Bonnie asked.

Caroline agreed and left the vampire and the witch alone. She headed inside to grab the pitcher of lemonade she had made earlier.

Meanwhile, outside things weren't so cheery. It seemed that the first thing her grandmother taught Bonnie was about vampires. They had a specific aura to them that a witch could detect if they touched one. And Elena, who slipped up, gave Bonnie her bare hand to shake.

"Who are you?" the witch whispered tersely.

"Elena," she answered.

"What are you doing in Mystic Falls, vampire?" Bonnie asked.

"I wanted to experience human life, witch," Elena shot back.

Bonnie looked taken aback. Elena knew she was a witch. She knew that nobody had been found dead or attacked by an animal recently.

"I could tell the council you know. This town has a whole secret council just for killing vampires," she threatened.

"I'm not scared of them," Elena said confidently.

"Do you hurt humans?" Bonnie asked.

"No," she answered.

It was kind of true. She hadn't actually killed anyone in a while. And the bite, compel and release method didn't really hurt them that much. A lot of them enjoyed it actually. She was doing the human race a favour. They needed a little excitement in their lives.

"Alright, I'll let you live for now. But I'll be watching you. My grams, she's a whole lot powerful than me. So watch your back," Bonnie warned.

Elena arrived at the Salvatore house. She walked right in to find Damon making out with some girl on the couch. They were both slightly undressed. Damon was without a shirt, and the girl was in her underwear. Elena felt something stirring inside her. She didn't like seeing Damon with other girls for some reason. She wasn't jealous of course. She just didn't want to see him almost having sex. Or that's what she tried to convince herself.

She cleared her throat and said, "I guess you're busy. I can come back."

Damon with his vampire hearing heard her even though his focus seemed to be on the blonde. He pushed her off of him.

"Look Kristy, this has been fun. But I just remembered I have to do something," he said while dismissing the girl.

The girl, whose name was Kristy apparently, picked up her short little skirt off the floor and slipped it onto her hips. She grabbed the piece of material that apparently qualified as a top and scurried out of the room.

"Sorry to disturb your little session there," Elena lied.

Damon shrugged, "She wasn't very good."

"That's bull. I'm sure she gets lots of practice," she argued.

"Fine. She's a good kisser. Is that what you want to hear?" he asked.

"At least you're being honest now," she said.

"I bet you're a better kisser," he told her.

"I have had more practice than her. Having centuries of being attractive kind of does that for you," she admitted.

"Well should we test my theory?" he asked cheekily.

Elena didn't want to give up the challenge. She moved closer to him and their lips met in a fiery passion. Their lips moved in sync with each other. Damon reached for Elena's shirt and pulled it off. It was flung across the room. Damon pushed her back onto the couch and leaned forward. The make out session continued. Finally they pulled back. Even though they didn't need to breathe it still got uncomfortable after a while.

"Hmm, I was right," Damon concluded.

"Were you?" Elena asked him.

"You are a much better kisser than that girl," he told her.

Damon and Elena laid on the couch together. They talked about their day and then settled for watching a movie. Elena found herself growing fonder and fonder of Damon as time went on. Damon was quickly learning how different the girl beside him was from his ex. She kissed differently, she acted differently, and her whole personality was different. But that was a good thing, because there was a reason his ex girlfriend was his ex.

An: Sorry it's late. I hope you like the little scene at the end. I hope it was okay. Review maybe?
