A/N: Disclaimer: I do not in any way or form own The Vampire Diaries, I just like to play in their sandbox every now and then.

Damon wanted to moan when her blood first touched his lips. It was the sweetest tasting blood he had ever had and its richness filled him with warmth. As he kept slowly drinking, he could not stop marveling at this young woman who was so selfless and kind enough to let a vampire she hadn't known for very long feed on her to help another vampire.
Stefan weakly offered his wrist to Reya as he saw her start to sway a little from the corner of his eye. She smiled at him and carefully cut into the soft tissue of his wrist and brought it to her mouth. Stefan could feel the strength retuning to him and how his savaged back started to knit itself back together.
As the three of them shared blood in the so called 'blood circle' they didn't know that they were changing fate and writing history at the same time. They were so lost in their own world that they didn't notice the unbreakable bond forming between them and snapping into place.
XOXOXOX
They had been riding for a few hours and Jeremy noticed that Elijah had been completely truthful about both riding and Whisky. Jeremy didn't have to do more than sit relaxed in Whisky's saddle while the horse calmly followed Rebekah's horse.
"You okay there, darling." Kol smirked as he saw Jeremy flinch and try to shift subtly.
"I'm fine." Jeremy declared with a small blush even though his ass and thighs where starting to hurt.
"Let us stop for dinner and make camp." Elijah said with a smile as they came into a clearing that had obviously been used as campground before.
"I'm honestly surprised that you didn't start to feel pain earlier." Rebekah sounded impressed.
"That could be our blood in his body." Niklaus jumped down from his horse with ease.
Jeremy wanted to disagree and just claim that he was a badass but decided against it.
The siblings had taken turns explaining what had happened from their perspective after he was taken by Mikael and Jeremy didn't know how he would ever be able to thank them for saving him.
"What do you want to eat Jeremy?" Rebekah asked looking through one of the bags they had with them. "We have dried meat with us but if you ask Niklaus would probably hunt some fresh meat for you."
Before Jeremy could answer Niklaus spoke up. "I'll go hunt some rabbits or squirrels. I think it's best if we save the dried meat until we don't have the option to hunt fresh meat."
"Okay." Jeremy agreed with a shrug, not really having any preference.
Kol got the fire started as Niklaus left at vampire speed. Then he started to laugh as he watched Jeremy slowly make his way to the firepit.
"What's so funny?" Jeremy half glared at Kol.
"Sorry mate, it just looks like you've had a really good fuck with the way you are walking." Kol smirked and winked.
"Shut up!" Jeremy blush traveled down his neck and disappeared in his shirt.
Elijah had frozen where he stood with their bedrolls in his arms. The image of Jeremy on his back, with his head thrown back in ecstasy made its way into his mind. He could feel his cock stirring in his pants and tried to shake his head to get rid of the fantasy.
Luckily Niklaus called his name from the edge of the clearing, wanting his help cleaning the rabbits he had caught. Elijah placed the bedrolls on the ground and sped over to his younger brother.
At first, they worked in silence but after a while Niklaus broke it. "You want him."
"What?" Elijah startled at the sudden statement.
"You want Jeremy." Niklaus maintained. "But I can't tell if it's just lust or if you love him."
"I don't know what…" Elijah started to say.
"Don't deny it, brother." Niklaus interrupted sadly. "I do have eyes."
"Niklaus." Elijah hesitated.
"I also see the way he looks at you." At the thickness of Niklaus voice Elijah looked up and saw the tears in his little brothers' eyes.
"Nik…" Elijah murmured and leaned forward. "Why the tears?"
"Jeremy is amazing and brave and so, so kind but why would he ever want me, an abomination, a monster, when he can have you?" Niklaus furiously whipped the tears from his cheeks.
"You love him." Elijah smiled sadly. He could feel the hand squeezing his heart for the pain he could see in Niklaus eyes. At the same time, he wanted to kill their parents for the way they had treated Niklaus and made him feel like that about himself.
"Yes." Niklaus answered simply.
"So do I." Elijah confessed lowly.
"Then I really don't stand a chance." Niklaus sniffled quietly. All his life he had always been the last choice, their father hated him, their mother preferred his sibling to him, sometimes even having a hard time looking at him and almost every person always choose Elijah over him. Niklaus had gotten used to it over the years but it still hurt.
"What are you talking about?" Elijah asked chocked.
"Everyone always chooses you over me. I don't blame you but it hurts, brother." The tears were falling freely down Niklaus face.
At first Elijah wanted to deny it but the more he thought back he could see what Niklaus meant. How had he never noticed it before? And how could he allow Tatia, a loose, immoral, trollop of a woman come between him and his little brother and cause Nik so much pain?
"We could share him." Elijah blurted out before his mind caught up to his mouth.
"Huh?" Niklaus was so shocked his tears had stopped.
"Well if Jeremy agrees and wants us, we could share him?" Elijah stuttered out uncertainly.
"And if he doesn't?" Niklaus cautioned lowly.
"Then…I don't know but I feel like I can't be happy with Jeremy if it causes you pain." Elijah smiled a tiny pained smile. "I won't let another person come between us ever again, little brother."
"Always and forever?" Niklaus hopefully asked.
"Always and forever!" Elijah promised.
XOXOXOX
"So you're saying that the Salvatore brothers and their friend Reya are willing to help me become whole again?" Klaus sounded like he didn't believe it. They were sitting in Klaus hotel room after Elijah left the Grill and Klaus called to tell him he was in Mystic Falls.
"I am certain that Reya definitely wants to help the only stipulation she had was that she wanted the doppelgänger to suffer." Elijah takes a sip of wine. "She seemed very angry when she found out what the doppelgänger and her witch had done to Jeremy."
"How does she even know Jeremy?" Klaus hummed then he continued. "What about the eldest Salvatore?"
"Well from the memories we both have you should know that Jeremy is basically part of the very few people that Damon cares about." Elijah told him softly. "And I'm not actually sure how she knows Jeremy but she seemed to care a lot about him."
"Wait…" Klaus sat up from his artful slouch. "Damon? As in Jeremys older brother/protector Damon? He's a Salvatore?"
"To answer all three questions at once: Yes." Elijah nodded with a smirk.
"Huh." Klaus looked stunned.
"You're not going to ask about the younger Salvatore?" Elijah inquired.
"I already know the Rippah." Klaus smiled viciously.
"Ripper?" Elijah doubted then he informed his brother. "Stefan feeds on animals."
"He does what?!" Klaus asked in shocked dismay. "No this will not do, at all."
"What are you on about now." Elijah asked exasperated.
"I knew Stefan back in the 1920." Klaus told him with a bright smile. "He was my best friend."
"You had friends?" Elijah had a look of chock on his face but the twinkle in his eyes gave away the teasing. "And what do you mean by 'was'?"
"Shut up." Klaus threw a pillow at his brother. "Did you know that Stefan is The Ripper of Monterey?"
"Really?" Elijah looked almost impressed.
"Yeah and when I said he was my best friend I meant that father found me and I had to compel him to forget me and Rebekah for his own safety." Klaus looked down sadly.
Before either of them could say anything else they were both hit with several new/old memories. It took them around fifteen to twenty minutes to sort through the memories rushing through their minds.
"FUCK!" Klaus exploded and was up and pacing before Elijah could react.
"Niklaus calm yourself!" Elijah commanded as Klaus threw a lamp at the wall.
"Our father has Jeremy and doing god knows what to him in the past but we are stuck here unable to help and you want me to calm down?!" Klaus growled while he glared at his brother.
"You didn't process all the memories, did you?" Elijah asked as he grabbed Klaus and pulled him into a hug. "If you did you would know that we, as in our past selves, found and rescued Jeremy."
Klaus stood in Elijah's arms, taking deep breaths and sorted through the rest of the memories. Then he pulled back from his brother with a smirk. "Sharing, huh?"
XOXOXOX
Reya woke up warm, content and well rested. She started to stretch but felt an arm around her waist and a body under her. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around, the body she was laying on was Stefan and the arm around her waist belonged to Damon.
They must have passed out together during the blood circle thing, Reya concluded silently to herself. Then her stomach gave a loud growl to make her hunger known to the world and Reya heard, or rather felt, the chuckle her bed made.
"Oh, be quiet." Reya giggled and poked Stefan in the chest.
That just made Stefan break out in full blown laughter waking Damon in the process. As he woke up Damon tightened his arm around Reya, pulling her closer resulting in her failingly falling of Stefan's chest and smacking herself in the face.
For a few seconds there was only stunned silence in the parlor but then they all looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Reya struggled to get up, Damon didn't want to let her go and Stefan wasn't any help at all. When she finally got up and managed to dance away from Damons reaching arms she beamed at them both and asked if they wanted breakfast. They had just woken up so it was technically breakfast for them but if you looked at the sun it was late afternoon.
"I can make pancakes or toast or scrambled eggs." Reya bounced towards the kitchen.
"Toast is fine." Stefan smiled as he got up and watched as Damon caught Reya around the waist and but her on his shoulder.
"Put me down Damon!" Reya laughed and hit his back. "Stefan save me!"
"Nah I'm good thanks." Stefan smirked at her.
"Muahaahaha, you are now mine and you can't escape." Damon did his best evil laugh and villain voice.
Quietly, far back in all their minds they wondered if the closeness, trust and peacefulness had anything to do with the bond Damon had mentioned might happen but none of them really consciously registered these thoughts so no one brought it up.
Stefan couldn't remember the last time he had seen his brother this genially carefree and happy. He saw how gently he treated Reya, like she was something precious that could break if you handled it to roughly. Even if both he and his brother knew she could defend and take care of herself. He was brought back to the present at Reyas voice.
"What would you like on your toast, Stefan?" Reya asked kindly from where she had her head in the refrigerator.
"Cheese and marmalade if it's not too much trouble." Stefan smiled and sat down at the table.
As the three of them sat down to eat their toast Damon spoke up, "So what do you guys want to do today?"
"I don't really want to go anywhere today." Stefan admitted, even the thought of going out made him anxious.
"How about a movie day in bed?" Reya offered hesitantly. "We can pop some corn and bring some sodas and just take it easy."
"Works for me." Damon agreed. "We can use my room; my bed is the biggest and I have the only tv."
"What are we going to watch?" Stefan actually looked forward to spend a day cuddling with his brother and Reya in bed, watching movies. He felt like he didn't need to be strong or be the protector with them, which was a nice freeing feeling.
"Well I have Transformers, Blade Trinity, Resident Evil and Iron man." Reya was almost bouncing in her seat.
"Bring them all up to my room and we'll choose there." Damon decided. Then he sent Reya and Stefan to his room while he fixed the soda and the popcorn. This was going to be an awesome day; he was certain of it.
Today he was going to relax, cuddle and spend time with his baby brother and Reya. Tomorrow he could start planning the gruesome murder of one Elena Gilbert but today popcorn and movies came first.
A/N: The chapter is done!
I know that the movies I mentioned might not technically have been made when the vampire diaries started but I am way too lazy to actually check which movies excited and which didn't.
Who should Damon end up with? I'm leaning towards paring him with Reya and leaving Alaric with Jenna, because the way the story is going Jenna is going to survive and be awesome.
Until next time
XOXO
