"Oh no Ez did...n 't li..ke the eg..gs di..d he… Go..sh dar..n it n..ow he's go...ing to be..e hell o...f a grum..py grem...lin for the re..st of tod..ay," I complained in the midst of broking the bedpost and fashioning it into a stake .

Besides sunlight this homemade baby here is the best vampire repellent around.

" Do..nt thi..nk jun..iors go..ing to b..ee the wor..st grum...py gre..mlin ," Damon bites out as he stares over at the silent frustrated Stefan.

Old grumpy was glaring daggers at me as I looked from between the stake and him with a huge grin on my face.

" Ste...fan nev...er knew y..ou car..ed so much it's rat..ther sweet… but unne..eded ," The blue eyed monster says as stumbles between us.

He glances over at me with a glare that just seemed to shout that the stake better just be for looks not some sort slaughter starter.

I rolled my eyes at him before ultimately nodding my head in agreement with his unspoken demands.

With that he turned away from me and told Stefan to relax .

Stefan opened his mouth to protest his brother's statement until he lost the will to and instead looked over at me with an understanding smile.

" What did my brother do to you exactly ," Grumpy asked and I answered him with a vague statement of oh you know he just ended my life and fucked up what was supposed to be my after life.

Though this is definitely better than that snippet of hell I experienced for but a moment.

" Vien..na , your aft..er li..fe was no..t re..ally som..thing to cry ab..out so g..et over it . An..ways Stef..an , her a..nd I are ev..en n..ow ."

I discard my stake to the ground finally caring about how much of a risk it was in my murder happy hands.

Damon visibly cringes when I rest my chin against his shoulder before relaxing again when I agree that we are indeed even.

A life stole is paid for with an eternity of dealing with your tormenting victim .

Losing a lip is payment for calling me psychopathic.

Both are rather fair trades so saying we're even is not a complete lie for ...now.

Stefan is just about to say something else but falls silent as Ezra's trembling voice shouts, " Mommy the Po-po got me ! "

Old grumpy swallows a lump in his throat as his eyes narrows at my charging form.

Stefan stands in the doorway stubbornly refusing to move until I somehow convince him that I won't kill that fucking police officer .

I bare my fangs at him and scream ," Don't worry about her because I don't mind killing you first!"

Stefan's features warped into the true vile face of the vampire that glared down at me with the unspoken honesty that he wouldn't mind killing me to .

" Oh my are you about to rip out my heart or something ," I whispered right before I made my mind up to ripe the vampire's throat out and drain him dry.

But fate...bloody Damon had other plans .

Which the blue eyed monster made perfectly known when he broke his brother's neck and dragged me down the hall away from Grumpy's temporarily deceased body.

" We need to focus on rescuing junior not on your torture fantasies," Damon speaks for the first time without any stuttered words.

His bottom lip has only just healed and already that stupid smirk is plastered across his face.

I find myself smirking up at him and whispering ," Alright ,my bloodthirsty Lucifer let's see about liberating our miniature Satan."

Then we both raced down the halls at unimaginable speeds growing angrier at the continued terrified screams of a toddler begging for his mother and...dad to save him from a monster.
