~ There is a POV in this story, that I don't do that often. I hope you enjoy it. (:

~ Since I've kinda lost track of the timeline (although I have it written down), There should be about 5-7 days until the full moon after the next chapter ends.

~ I didn't Originally decide to split 'The Last Dance' into two chapters, but I want to update this story at least once a week until it's at the end. Even with splitting this one, I might be able to finish it before the end of 2012. There would be some days skipped in between chapters if I do, but I hope you wouldn't mind when I get to the end.

ENJOY!

Damon's POV

Jessica was sleeping, with her head on my chest. 'She's beautiful' I thought. I didn't think I would feel the way I do for anyone after Katherine, but Jessica has changed that. Jessica seemed to be like me on the surface, but there was a different side of her underneath. Even though it seemed like she was pulling away, she's still here, in my arms. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, smelling the scent of her hair before giving the top of her head a kiss.

Jessica's POV

When I felt something touch the top of my head, I smiled.
"Is it morning?" I asked in a mumble.
"Yeah." Damon said in a whisper. "You should wake up."
"No." I said and I knew without looking, that he was smirking. "Let me sleep."
"Where's the fun in that?" I moved my head up and saw a smile on his face.
"Why wake me up?"
"Because I can do this." He tilted his head down and laid his lips onto mine.
"If you can do that..." I started to say, feeling more awake. I moved so I was on top of him. "... then I can do this." I kissed him and held down his arms so he couldn't do anything. Damon easily turned around so I was on the bottom. He held my arms down, the same way that I had done with him. "Suddenly I don't want to sleep anymore." Damon smirked before laying his lips on mine.

The morning went pretty fast. Damon and Stefan signed their house over to Elena, so she could use it as a safe house against Klaus. That actually made me feel a little better, knowing that he couldn't just sneak in during the night and get me. He would be the type to do that. I decided to make some pasta for lunch, which Damon and I ate while Stefan and Elena were at school. After we ate we went up to Damon's room and stayed in there for a while.

I was brushing my hair, making sure it looked straight. Damon made it quite a mess and I wanted it to look at least semi-decent when his brother came home. I didn't think Stefan would like it if he came home to see my or his brother's sex hair. Thinking about how close I was with Damon brought a small smile to my face. 'Don't leave him' a voice said in my head. I wasn't going to leave Damon, I love him. 'You loved Klaus' a different voice in my head. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. He had compelled me to forget him a year ago but then made me remember less than a week ago. I know I wanted to remember, but I didn't know what I had forgotten. 'I'm staying with Damon' I told myself as I opened my eyes. Out the corner of my eye, I saw Damon standing at the doorway.
"Your hair looked nice before." He said, which made me smile.
"It was sex hair." I said as I finished making sure my hair was straight. "I wasn't going to let your brother see it."
"I guess we'll just have to mess it up again." Damon said and I couldn't help but roll my eyes in a amusement.
"But I just got it straight." I said with a pout as I turned to face him.
"You look so cute when you pout."
"I am not cute." He gave me a small smirk. "I'm freaken hot."
"Then maybe we should cool you down." He said in a whisper as he stepped towards me. I couldn't help but smile.
"That wouldn't help the hair situation." I said before he was in arms length away. "And you knew what I meant."
"Screw your neat hair."
"So you'd rather screw my hair than me?" I faked a hurt/shocked expression. "How would that even work?" He just smirked at me before laying his lips on mine. "Try and cool me down after you catch me." I said before speeding away.

I couldn't help but be in a playful mood. I almost never was, but it felt good. When I got to the living room, I noticed that Damon was already there.
"Just because you're older and faster, that doesn't mean anything." I gave him a smirk before running out the house. I sped through the woods, knowing that he was following me. When he caught up to me, he basically tackled me to the ground.
"I finally caught you." He whispered in my ear before kissing my neck.
"That's because I let you." I whispered.
"If that makes you feel better." He said with a smirk before I rolled over and was on top of him.
"Oh, it does." I smirked before kissing his lips. "Ignore it." I said when I heard his phone vibrate in his pocket. Eventually his phone went silent, but then mine started to vibrate.
"Ugh." Damon groaned before slowly taking my phone out my pocket. "What's so important brother?" Damon asked into my phone after looking at the screen.
"Klaus was at the school." Stefan said, which made my eyes go wide. 'What would he be doing there?' I asked myself as I moved into a sitting position on top of Damon.
"What do you mean he was at the school?" Damon asked.
"He compelled someone at the school to get a message to Elena." I took a deep breath, making sure I didn't lose control of my emotions. "Elena and I are at the house. We need to plan." I gave Damon a nod, letting him know that I was going to go.
"We'll be right there brother." Damon said before hanging up.
"I guess I'm not getting sex hair again after all." I smiled as he handed me my phone.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Damon smirked, which made me roll my eyes. "You do have grass your hair."
"So do you." I said before standing. "I'll beat you back." I said before speeding away.

I got back to the boarding house to see Stefan, Elena and Bonnie in the living room.
"Where's Damon?" Elena asked.
"On his way." I said just before he walked through the door. "Speak of the devil." He just walked next to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"I let you win." He whispered in my ear.
"Whatever makes you feel better." I whispered back. He placed his arm around my waist before looking at his brother.
"We'll go to the dance." Damon said, changing into a serious mood. "We'll find him and kill him."
"Really?" Stefan asked. "How are we going to do that?"
"Jessica knows what he looks like." Damon said. "She can spot him and try to lure him away."
"That won't work." I said. They all looked at me. "He's one of the Originals." I looked at Bonnie, Elena and Stefan. "He'll have some sort of plan, even if he doesn't know what we're up to. If he really was at the school, then he already has a plan." 'He'll be in someone else's body' I thought, remembering that was one of his little tricks.
"He could be anywhere at any time." Stefan said as he looked at me and Damon. "He compelled somebody at school." He looked to Elena and Bonnie. "I guess it's not as safe as you guys thought, huh?" There was a knock at the door before it opened, revealing Alaric.
"There you are." Stefan said as Alaric walked in. Right away, I could tell that there was something different about him, but I didn't know him that well.
"Sorry I'm late." He said as he walked closer to us.
"Hey, I need you to put me and Jessica down as chaperones at the dance tonight." Damon said, glancing at me. "Klaus made his first move." Alaric nodded and looked at me. I looked at him for a moment before looking at Elena and Stefan.
"Ok, so we find him and then what?" Elena asked. "What's our plan of attack?"
"Me." Bonnie said, bringing everybody's attention to her. "I'm the plan. He has no idea how much power I can channel." My eyes flickered towards Alaric's, whose eyes looked at mine. 'Klaus has to be in him' I thought. "If you can find him, I can kill him." I looked back at Bonnie, who had a serious look on her face.
"That's not going to be that easy." 'Alaric' said. "I mean, he is the biggest, baddest vampire around." I let out a scoff. 'If you say so' I thought. The only time he came across as scary is when he was mad or loses his temper.
"Alaric has a point." Damon said, slowly taking his arm from my waist. "I mean, what if he..." He rushed towards Bonnie, who put her hand up and sent him flying to the other side of the room. I let out a little chuckle when he hit the ground.
"Do that again." I said to Bonnie as Damon moved so he was looking at us. He gave me a stare and I just smiled at him.
"Well, I was impressed." Stefan said as Damon rose to his feet.
"It doesn't matter if he's an Original." Bonnie said, which brought my attention to her. "I can take down anyone who comes at me." She looked at Elena. "I can kill him, Elena. I know I can." I took a deep breath and let it out. 'She can't really kill him, can she?' I asked myself. Damon stepped up to my side and put his arm around my waist.
"I'd rather not be thrown across the room again." Damon whispered in my ear. I turned my head to look at him and our lips touched.
"Get a room." Bonnie said, which made me smirk.
"No chance witchy." Damon said.
"Do you want her to throw you across the room again?" I asked him. "That's what I thought." I said when he didn't answer. "Besides, we still have some time before the dance." I whispered in his ear and I could feel his smirk.
"Well, I'm leaving." Bonnie said before looking at Elena. "I'll see you later." Bonnie said to Elena before leaving the house. I looked at Elena and Stefan to see that they were looking at me and Damon.
"Maybe we should go upstairs." I whispered to Damon. "We can get the grass out of our hair." I gave him a small smile before speeding up to his room.

'If Klaus was really in Alaric, like I am thinking... then he would have saw me and Damon' I let out a sigh. Knowing Klaus, he likes to get what he wants. When he doesn't, he goes to almost any length to get it. 'He wants me' I thought.
'You want him' A voice said in my head.
'No' Another voice said. If I wanted him, I would have stayed with him the moment he made me remember. I had stayed with Damon, despite them still trying to kill Klaus. Damon made me feel human, more human than when I was with Klaus. I missed the feeling, which made the situation difficult. 'What if they do kill him? Could I let them kill him?' I let out a sigh before going into Damon's bathroom.

~ I actually got this up a few days before I had planned. I will also be getting chapter for 'Into The Darkness' this week.

~ I can tell you that 'Alari-Klaus' will sort of have a chat with Jessica in the next chapter. What it's about, I will let you guess.
~ I had a 'date-night' for Jamon planned after the decade dance, but I might not put it it. It's more of a filler before the events that happen in 2.19 Klaus. If there are enough reviews on this chapter, I'll put it in. If not, I'm going straight to the events of 2.19 Klaus, which would also be a possible combo of a Karaoke night... because I have one more planned before the end of the story.

R&R 'till the next update
