Selina's POV
When Damon and I returned back to the Boarding House there were a ton of cars in the driveway. Was Stefan having a party when he knew we needed him to be focused on the task at hand? There were about 6 cars not including Damon's car in the driveway.
"What is he doing with company?" I asked to Damon.
"I know the cars. It's our regular crowd. That's Elena's, Caroline's, Ric's, Stefan's, Matt's, and Bonnie's. I don't think he is doing anything he shouldn't be doing. It's Stefan. He doesn't do anything he shouldn't do."
After parking near the end of the driveway we walked up to the door and went in. Secretly I was hoping it was just going to be Damon and I for the night before Alex arrived later. But I knew that if we were to get help with Katherine I would have to have company around. Sighing as we entered the large house I saw a bunch of people inside. I noticed the few people I did know right off the bat. Stefan, Ric, Elena and Tyler. I saw another vampire, and two humans. Seeing me walk in Elena came over and gave me a hug. I wish she hadn't. I realized then that I hadn't fed in quite a while. I pushed her back politely. Giving her a small smile I rubbed my neck. Stefan must have seen me and knew it was uncomfortable; he walked away and into the basement.
"Selina, this is Caroline, Bonnie and Matt." Elena said pulling me closer to the living room.
"So you're the ex-girlfriend slash baby mama, huh?" the blonde vampire said.
"Caroline." Elena whispered.
"That's me." I said putting my hand out. She took it.
"Bonnie is our local witch. I'm hoping she can help us." Damon said from the drink bar. Stefan came up and grabbed a glass and filled it for me and brought it to me.
"Thanks Stef." He nodded. I took a long pull of the blood and it felt like I haven't fed in days. I finished the glass much sooner than I wanted. I put the glass down on the table in front of the couch.
"Where is Alex?" I heard the Ric say.
"Oh, the bouncy baby boy is with the original sister. We told him to be here at 7." Damon said sitting on a chair. I wasn't in the mood to talk about this. Looking at my watch I saw it was already after 4. "Are we boring you Selina?" I heard my ex say. I turned and looked at him.
"No, I'm checking the time. I want to make dinner before he comes."
"You want to make dinner when we have diabolical kill Katherine plans?" Just then there was a knock on the Boarding House door. Everyone looked at each other before Stefan went over to the door to open it. I saw him stiff up when he saw the person on the other end of the door. I moved slightly so I could see past him when I stiffened too. Damon must of sense that his brother and I didn't like the unannounced guest. He sped over to me and stood in front of me.
"Hello everyone." The voice said. I felt everyone in the room stop moving. I saw Tyler move in front of Caroline and Bonnie in front of Matt. Ric went closer to Bonnie. "Aren't you going to invite me in?" the accent asked. "Oh, wait you don't have to." He said moving past the younger and into the house. "Ah Selina so lovely to see you." Klaus moved closer to me but Damon met his every move. "So defensive for someone who left her all those years ago."
"What do you want?" Damon said between his teeth.
"I just happened to be driving by when I happened to see the car to every supernatural creature in Mystic Falls. Oh and the lonely humans in this whole mess." He said as he poured himself a drink. Stefan moved over to Elena.
"And you stopped by because you thought we were having a party without you?" I heard the blonde vampire say behind her hybrid boyfriend. "A little desperate don't you think?" Wow, I thought, Caroline has guts.
"Actually, sweetheart I wanted to see my whole linage in the same room. But I don't see Alexander." My skin crawled as he said my son's name. I didn't like him saying it. Stefan glanced at my quickly and then turned his attention back to the Original.
"My son is with your sister." I said walking around Damon. The older brother put his hand on my arm. I looked at it and then at him. I shook my head and he let go. "My son fancies your sister."
"I've noticed. She won't shut up about him the last week."
"So you realize, if Alex doesn't accomplish his side of the deal you are hurting your baby sister as well?" I said shrugging my shoulders. I went over to the table where my glass was and picked it up. Without leaving Klaus glare I held it up. "Damon, can you get me another glass of blood please?"
"No, I'm not leaving you." He said behind me.
"I will be fine." I turned to look at him. Giving him my sweetest smile he nodded grabbed my glass and left in inhuman speed.
"You still have him wrapped around your finger." The British bastard said. I turned back to look at him.
"Jealous?" I said. I felt my switch starting to flip. I couldn't let that happen. I took a few deep breaths. And I was fine.
"Love, I am not even close to it. You changed for him remember? I helped with that. You couldn't complete the deal we made."
"And you said you wouldn't go near my son. You went back on it." I said crossing my arms.
"I didn't touch him. He isn't harmed." He said looking smug.
"He is if you keep this going. You know he won't be able to go through with it. You know he won't be able to find her."
"You have no confidence in your own son? But his uncle does, and I'm sure so does the dear Elena." From the corner of my eye I saw Stefan look at me and Elena stiffen when he said her name.
"Leave my family out of this. Now it's between you and me."
"It was, until you couldn't do what I asked. We made a deal Selina. I turn you, you find Katherine." Stefan's neck almost snapped when he looked at me. I still hadn't told him that I was turned by Klaus. Now he knows. Klaus looked at Stefan when he saw him move so fast. "Didn't know I turned your childhood friend, mate?" Stefan was now looking between Klaus and me. Damon finally came back with my blood.
"What I miss?" he said in my ear. I downed the glass feeling my fangs coming down.
"Your brother found out who turned me. And Klaus is being Klaus." I turned and whispered in his ear. "We need to get him out of here before Alex gets here." Damon nodded and I turned back to the Original.
"Why are you here?" Tyler asked.
"I wanted to see Selina. She looks lovely as always. As do you Caroline." Tyler's jaw clenched and Damon let out a low growl. I hoped the boys were not thinking of taking this guy on because he's pissing them off.
"You saw me. Now you can go."
"I just want to know what your plans are to find Katherine." I wish he didn't ask me that. He had compelled me years ago if he asked me that I would have to tell him.
"My son is checking every vampire we know. Since Slater is dead we cannot find a lead yet." I said with my eyes closed.
"Selina!" Damon said from behind me.
"Don't be mad at her about that. It's my fault. I told her she had to tell me years ago. Now I know that this is going to be a long 2 years for your son Damon." Klaus stood up and left the house. Everyone stayed silent. Stefan, Caroline and Elena were all looking at me. Tyler, Ric and Matt were looking at each other. I looked slightly at Damon and he was glaring at me too. I hated that I had to answer him when he asked. I didn't know how to break it though. And trust me, I wanted to.
"I'm going to start on dinner." I whispered and walked around Damon and into the kitchen. Walking into the kitchen I took my heels off. I rummaged through the fridge to see if he had everything I needed for chicken parm. I found most everything I needed and made a list of stuff to get from the store. No one came in the bother me. And I was glad for that. I needed this time to get my thoughts together. I heard them in the living room talking about what just happened.
"You knew he turned her?" the younger brother said.
"She told me when she showed up here. What do you want me to do brother? She turned years ago. Can't go back from that. You should know that."
"And it never seemed like you should tell me? I have a history with the bastard."
"Would it make a difference Stefan?"
"It makes me hate the guy more. Why couldn't you just go back to her after you changed? If you turned her we wouldn't be in this situation." I heard a loud bang. From what I gathered Damon flew Stefan into the wall.
"I wanted to go back Stefan. Remember when you went to go say good bye to dad? Remember how that ended? Do you really think I wanted to put my girlfriend in the same situation? Yeah I didn't think so."
"Damon, put him down." I heard from Caroline. I heard hard breathing, so I guess he listened.
I didn't move from where I was. I continued to cook my food. I felt bad to have this brought on these people. They were all innocent. And now they have to risk their lives for mine. This wasn't fair for them. I should tell them not to worry about it. I should tell them that Alex and I could do this on our own. We were always a team; we can do this by ourselves.
"Can I help?" looking up I saw Elena. I just shook my head. "Hey, we will find her. You will be surprise what we can do together." I looked up and gave her a small smile. "I'm your friend Selina, you can talk to me." I slammed the knife I had in my hand down. It went down harder than I wanted. She jumped just a little.
"Elena, I appreciate that. But I don't feel like talking. I feel like cooking." I went to the fridge and took out the bottle of wine. Popping the cork with my inhuman strength I took a long pull of the sweetness. Taking the bottle away from my mouth I looked at the teen. "Wanna help?" she nodded. I went to my list and handed it to her. "Go get these things so I can finish cooking." Putting the bottle down I returned back to the meal I was working on without giving a second glance towards Elena. When she left I put my hands on the counter and took a deep breath. I hung my head and closed my eyes.
"Tired?" I heard him say.
"You can't go beating your brother up." I said without looking at him but continued to make dinner.
"And he can't go around telling me when I should have done. I know I messed up in 1864. I don't need my kid brother to tell me that too."
"He's right though. If you turned me we wouldn't be in this situation."
"I don't need this from you too Selina. I got it from Stefan." I knew he was right, and I already yelled at him for this once. I really didn't want to go back to it. Especially not tonight.
"Where is everyone?" I said looking at my watch. It was 5:30, and I still had time to finish the dinner.
"Bonnie went to go try new spells, Ric went to the bar, Tyler and Caroline will be back later, and Elena, Matt and Stefan went to the store for you."
"So how many am I cooking for?"
"Oh, they all will be back around 7. Everyone wants to meet Baby Salvatore."
"He has a name. Use it. Stop calling him kid, bouncing baby boy, baby Salvatore. His name is Alexander or Alex." Damon put his hands up in mock surrender.
"Ok mama hen. You got it." I didn't bother fighting him about the 'mama hen' comment. I wasn't in the mood to be sarcastic or snippy. I wanted to crawl into a hole and wait till this whole thing was done. But I couldn't do that either. I finished cutting up my fresh ingredients without saying anything else.
"You need to stop sulking; you're making me depressed too." I heard him say. I turned to look at him from the side.
"I'm not sulking. I'm thinking." This was a lie. If I thought about what was going on I would sulk. Damon came closer to me and put his hand on my arm.
"Hey, we will get this together I promise you we will." I nodded but I didn't look at him. I felt his hand under my chin and he pulled my head up. I still wouldn't meet his gaze. "Look at me Selina." But I wouldn't. Taking both hands and putting them on either side of my face he said it again. "Selina, look at me." I slowly moved my eyes to look at his beautiful blue orbs. "We will get this together. We will find her and kill her. Trust me."
"I trust you." I whispered really softly. I couldn't leave his stare. I felt like I was being hypnotized to just stare at him. Slowly our lips became one. It was a feeling I never thought I would have again. I felt like this was the first kiss we had ever shared. He deepened the kiss when his hands went into my dark hair. My arms were on his chest. It was a little piece of heaven that I didn't want to ever stop. But hearing his phone vibrate he reluctantly pulled away. Keeping his gaze on me he answered the phone.
"What?" he said
"Mom isn't answering her phone. I can't come tonight." I heard Alex on the other end.
"Why not? This is all about you. We have volunteers helping us here too."
"Something has come up Damon. Just tell Mom I won't be around tonight." Damon and I were still staring at each other. Without breaking the gaze I took the phone.
"You better come here tonight Alexander James. You uncle and his friends are putting their life on the line for you. You have to be here." I said.
"I can't. Tell them I'm sorry. What about tomorrow night?"
"What is so important that you cannot come here when we all need to figure out a plan?"
"I got a lead Mom. I have to go to Chicago."
"And you think you will be home by tomorrow night? And what lead? Aren't we all in this together?" I heard my son sigh.
"It's with a vampire you don't like."
"Then I will send Damon with you. He doesn't like anyone anyway."
"No, I will be back tomorrow. I will call you. I love you." He said and hung up. I broke my glance with Damon and looked at his phone. Did my son just hang up on me? Was he really going on a lead without us? Without looking back up I handed Damon his phone and went back to preparing dinner.
"He's not coming." I whispered cutting up the cheese.
"Over my dead body. Quite literally too."
"Don't. If he thinks he can do this on his own then let him. We will do our own plan. Rebekah must be in his head or something." I felt him come closer to me. As much as I wanted comfort I wanted to be left alone too. He touched my cheek with the back of his hand.
"We will get her Lina." He whispered.
"Would everyone stop saying we will get her, everything is going to be fine! I know we will and I know it will be fine. But it's my son making these choices."
"He's my son too." my un-beating heart fluttered a little when he said it. I loved that he was taking the role of father. "And I mean it we will get her and we will kill her. Since he's not coming why don't we call everyone and cancel for the night."
"I already sent Elena to the store." I sighed.
"And I could call her and tell her to forget it. Selina, you can't pretend like nothing is going on and go make dinner."
"I'm not pretending. I know what is going on. We need to find the devil woman and kill her. I just want this to be over. I want to know my son and everyone I care for is safe." I felt the tears start to form. I knew they were going to fall. I sensed that Damon did too. He came over and out his arms around me.
"Don't cry, we will get it together. We will get her. I told you I wouldn't let anything happen to you or Alex and I meant it." Damon leaned his head on the top of mine.
"I know. And I won't let anything happen to you or Stefan or anyone else. We have to be smarter than her."
"She's been on the run for 500 years. She's really smart."
"Then we get smarter Damon. I can't risk losing someone because I was stupid and made that deal with Klaus." My arms were still around his waist. His head still on mine. Being in his embrace was magical to me. But I guess I was in the magic to long. I didn't hear a car or the front door open.
"Everything alright?" Damon loosened his grip and turned around. At the door was Elena. I let go of Damon and went back to preparing Dinner.
"Fine. Thanks for getting the groceries but we are canceling dinner tonight. Alex can't come tonight. Be prepared to be here tomorrow same time." Damon said ushering the human out.
"Why did he cancel?" she asked.
"He just did." I heard him open the door and him say good night. Words were spoken between the brothers when Stefan followed his girlfriend out the door. A few moments later Damon came in with a glass of blood and a glass of whiskey. "Any preference?" He asked holding both up. I looked at the glasses and nodded to the whiskey. "Good, cause I'm hungry." He said wiggling his brows. I brought the glass to my mouth and took a sip. The strong liquid went down smoothly. I looked at the beginnings of the food and started to go wrap them up to use the next night.
"I owe you dinner." I said moving around the kitchen getting wrap out to cover the chicken and cheeses.
"Yeah. I will make sure you pay up." He said from the other side of the kitchen. "Are you spending the night again?"
"If you don't mind. I don't think I can make the trip back home."
"No problem. I'll get you some pajamas. Boxers and t-shirt alright?" I nodded my head and he left. I leaned on the counter for support when he left. My head was spinning from the day's events. Going to Alex's and dealing with Rebekah, coming back here and having to deal with Klaus, and then the kiss with Damon. That kiss was indescribable. Being near Damon was just the same. I couldn't form the right words about the feelings I had for him. Especially since he has been stepping up to help our son.
"You know, it's only 7. Tell me, why am I getting you pajamas?" I heard from the hallway. "You alright?" he said speeding to me when he walked into the kitchen.
"I'm perfectly fine. Just thinking of everything that happened today." I said standing up and give him a small smile.
"Why don't we order in? Or, if you want we can go out to another town?" he said wiggling his eyes again. As much as a fresh human sounded amazing, I didn't hurt people like that anymore.
"Let's get Chinese. I can show you a new sauce if you haven't already discovered it." He nodded with a little bit of disappointment.
"Am I ever going to see the vampire Selina? Besides the one that throws me against the wall all vamped out?" I changed my face and attacked him, I threw him on the floor and straddled him like I did just a few days prior. He was vamped out too and I tried not to giggle at him but I couldn't help it. He changed his face and smiled. "Something funny Miss. Brighton?"
"You Mister Salvatore. Trying to scare me with your face. I have faced Klaus numerous times. You do not scare me." Before I knew it he was on top of me. I was still giggling. "Not working." I looked into his eyes and saw he wasn't anywhere close to laughing. I saw something much different in his eyes. There was lust, love, wanting. When I stopped laughing, we just looked at each other. Everything around us disappeared. It was just us on the kitchen floor. Before I knew it he had crushed his lips to mine. My hands tangled into his hair. His hands on the side of my face. He was drawing kisses on my cheeks down to my jawline and farther down to my neck. I arched my back slightly as his hands made their way down my sides. Damon got up with me in his inhuman speed and we slammed against the closest wall. The kisses were becoming more urgent. Our breathing was heightening. He looked at me between kisses. He picked me up bridal style as he kissed me again and we were in a bed room in half a second. He was laying over me on a bed.
I knew the night to come was going to be better than the first time we ever made love.
AN:::: Sorry for such a long delay in updating! I have been very busy these last 2 weeks. Bare with me though. Updates will be getting farther apart. I'm hoping not 2 weeks like this. But if it is I'm sorry. It took me 2 weeks to write this. I wrote like a page a night and then passed out from exhaustion.
I know at the end of the last chapter I asked if everyone preferred 1 or 2 POV's. I determined I will see where the chapter is going if it needs 2.
As I am typing this I am working on the next chapter. I need 4-5 reviews to update chapter 26! So please review!
