I missed this story but I needed a break for the entire series... I watched Vd and the Originals like six times in a row before I started the story... it got tired.
I stole an Idea from LadyScatty, you'll know what it was. I love you and your idea, it was hilarious and I had to use it.
I am happy to be back.
Isobel wasn't that surprised to see Damon shirtless, playing strip poker with Cherie when she arrived in her temporary home. It was too much like her old lover to be doing anything else."
Damon laughed as he lost his hand. "Oh Oh Cherie, you won again. I hope I'm wearing my good underwear." He stood up, reaching to pull down his pants when she fully walked into the room.
"And it's just one blast from the past after another. No, no, no." Damon closed his fly at her words. " Dégage, Cherie." Cherie, her mindless slave stood up and left the room.
Damon turned to her. " It's good to see you, Isobel. I was just having fun with your naughty little minion."
"How did you find me?"
In a blur of speed, her past love was in her face. " Searched all the neighborhood bank-owned foreclosures and found the most expensive one."
"Oh I should have known. You're the one who taught me that. What are you really doing here?"
"Well you caused quite a stir, you blew into town. Saw everyone except for the man who made you. I'm a little hurt. "
Isobel pouted a little. "I'm so sorry." Then, without mercy, She twisted Damon's head around at vamp-speed. " Did you bring the device? He pushed away just as fast as she had grabbed him.
"Heh. Ow. So is it true, is John their father?
Isobel thought about it for a moment, seeing no reason to hide anything from him when her daughters figured it out...well the smarter twin had figured it out. "We dated a few times when we were young. He was a little bit in love with me... yes, he is their father, Samantha got it in one. Smart girl, bit of a mouth on her but with her beauty and skill she can get away with it... this time."
Damon snorted. " Trust me, she can handle herself, she's... scary. Now, what do you want with this little invention."
"Oh, me personally? I don't want anything with it. I'm just doing what I'm told. You know Damon we're on the same side." Isobel took Damon's face in her hands.
He looked at her curiously. "Oh yeah? What side is that?"
"Katherine's." She hit the last nail into the coffin."She wants John Gilbert to have the device and I think that you know that she's not happy when she doesn't get what she wants." Damon had enough, throwing her off.
"Why are you doing her dirty work?"
" Don't kill the messenger. We both know that you can't control Katherine. She does what she wants."
" So do I."
That made her laugh, harder then she'd like to admit. 'Was he always this pathetic... sigh..." Oh really Damon? You do?" She moved in close, breathing in his sultry scent. "What should we do now?
They laughed as one and quickly began to kiss, passionate as the day that last saw each other. They fell vamp-speed on the sofa... then Damon slammed her on the floor at vamp-speed and holding her throat down to the floor. She gasped in shock, seeing the anger in his beautiful blue eyes. The wrath she had invoked in one of the most dangerous vampires alive.
"Now that I have your attention, listen up. You do not come into my town; threaten the people I care about. Going after Samantha? Bad move. You leave her alone or I will rip you to bits because I do believe in killing the messenger. You know why? Because it sends a message." Without care, he slammed he head into the ground. " Katherine wants something from me? You tell that little bitch to come get it herself."

"Can we dispel it?" Samantha looked at the picture in Emily's spellbook, reviewing for what felt like the tenth time the works of the Great Emily. "The Gilbert Device would cripple any vampire or werewolf in the area, making them easy prey... it could be good for us witches if they get out of hand, but right now things are good."
Bonnie nodded. "I think we could dispel it, not the entire device it's too advanced but a part of it would be enough right? It takes the whole to work together."
"Wow... you girls really know what you are doing." Both girls whipped over, hands at the ready to cast as Isobel walked into the lab room they were working in. She smirked holding out a new lapis Lazuli necklace, freshly spelled. "Your not the only witches I know of, nor are you the only ones who knows the Daylight spell. I have dozens of these just in case I lose one."
"Noted." Samantha focused on her talisman, feeling the power of her grandmother's ring as power washed through her. It would take a lot but she could easily kill Isobel if she needed to. " Why are you here, I thought my warning was pretty clear."
Isobel nodded, looking at her with pursed lips. "I could have, but I really need that device... and I can't afford to have you dispel it... you might want to call Jeremy... oh and that poor boy, Matty with the blue eyes... he might need some help about now." With that, she blurred away, leaving Samantha and Bonnie both stunned.
Then Samantha started to laugh. " Dumb bitch, she doesn't even know..." Rushing outside, with Bonnie at her heels, she saw the crowd of people screaming as a man convulsed on the ground, blood escaping his eyes as the spell on Jeremy's talisman took effect. Jeremy was looking at the man, alongside the rest of the crowd, shocked and stunned and horrified.
"I got Jeremy and met you back home, go get your twin." Bonnie all but charged towards Jeremy, knowing his talisman had only one charge to stop would be attackers.
Without hesitating, She channeled the power of her ring, without drawing on it's power just it's focus, and she cast a quick spell to find her sister. Instantly she felt the pull on her ring, leading her to where another crowd had formed around her stunned sister, with another person, a women, lay convulsing on the ground. She hurried towards her sister, grabbing her hand.
"Bonnie's with Jer, we need to get home where your safe."
Her sister nodded, still stunned. " I felt my necklace buzz... it was warm. Is this why you gave us them?"
"Yes... instant defense. It was made for Vamps, witches or wolves."
Elena's eyes went wide. " What about humans?"
Samantha just shrugged. "They die. Pity for them but it happens. Let's go."
'""
"Thank you for seeing us." Samantha turned to Pearl and Her daughter as they walked into the Gilbert House, each looking at her with warmth. "We need to talk about the Gilbert device you stole. John told us the basics, you stole it from my ancestor, good on you since he was a douche."
Pearl laughed. "I don't like many people. You, I like."
"Same. Now, I need to dispel it or change the spell then give it to Isobel, my birth mother so I can kill her. She attacked Elena and Jeremy, she went to far, so she dies."
Damon, who was standing at her back, nodded. "Agreed. She knows where Katherine is too, but I'm done with that bitch. She made her choices, she can live with them. We all have to anyway."
Pearl nodded. " I am glad you feel that way, Katherine was using and abusing you and your brother. I always wished you would be smart enough to break away, no matter how much I liked her. Now... as for the artifact... what is it?"
"A device that uses sound to harm anything with supernatural hearing. That way they can be corralled and put down easily. The effects last on a few minutes but long enough to do incredible damage. I don't know the plan they have but I will not let it come to fruition. We will dispel it then we will kill my mother and John."
"Very well... I will go and retrieve it, the return it to you tonight. I kept it, a token... a memory of that time. If it is what you say, then it will be better suited undone. Thank you for protecting me and mine once more." She held out her hand to her, which Samantha gladly took. Then, turning to her daughter, Pearl said something that rocked the room. "If you insist on sleeping with a Gilbert, why can't it be this one. I like her, far more that that boy, Jeremy."
Anna turned beat red, stuttering and looking fearfully at the laughing Samantha who raised her hands to stop the girl's panic. "No biting unless your healing him and even with that spread it out. Be careful... and why didn't he tell me? When did you even get together?"
Anna gulped. "After I kidnapped him... I went to apologize and well... things hit off a few times. He's nice and I like him. He knows what I am, no judging... and I can't seem him remaining human after too long anyway, so I thought it would be a good match."
"I support it, just be good to each other and obey my rules and all it groovy."

John felt nothing but fear and relief when he walked into Isobel's new haunt. There was a lot of suitcases at the entrance, and a sense of emptiness in the space. "I see you're packing. That's a good sign."
Isobel growled when she saw him, shooting towards him and pinning him to the wall. "Their dead, both of my slaves. Our daughter... Samantha, did something to her siblings, cursed them so that when I tried to take them for leverage, it killed them."
"You attacked my nephew and our daughter?" he was horrified. " Why would you do that Izzy?"
"Don't you get it, she will kill them John!" She let him go, her hands ripping through her hair. "Katherine is ruthless, she will destroy them... all of them. Why are they being so stubborn. We just want to get rid of the vampires, give them a happy life without all this crap!"
"I know Izzy... I know but I think Samantha is doing the same thing. She sees us as the threat though. I can't go against them now, I am compelled to behave. Jenna's a vampire now and she... she's powerful. She could kill you I think."
She scoffed. "Aunty Vanilla? Doubtful."
"Don't underestimate them, she has molded her entire family into an army to protect themselves... I know she had them all training to become powerful. We might be over our heads Izzy... we need help."
Isobel stopped. " No...we just need an invitation or rather we don't. Let's go get us a thief."
John feared whatever it was that running through the Love of his life's mind... but he knew better then to argue now. She was in the zone and that meant she was at her most dangerous. Ring or not, he would not make it if he questioned her...
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was beyond fun to write, I missed this story.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
