I know you guys all love Damon/Elena, and so do I! But I figured that Damon and Faith would be an interesting idea. She would maybe have what Buffy has with angel only in a darker way, because Damon is no Angel lol. Anyway, give it a chance you may like the idea too. Inspired by music videos on you tube! Will also have a bit of Tyler/Caroline in this. I am continuing my other stories as well by the way! Lol

Chapter One

Faith Lehane opened the door and stepped out of the car slowly. She breathed in the fresh air of mystic falls and memories flooded her instantly. When she had been younger, she had visited her cousin once or twice a year, Christmas or birthdays, whenever she could really. She had made a plea to her aunt and uncle to get her there, to escape from the life she lead with her own mother and stepfather. They had usually sent her money as soon as she was old enough to travel by herself, and it had been a fight to get to the post before her stepfather, who, if he had ever found it, would have taken the money and spent it on himself. Sometimes that had happened, but then, that had been her life. When she turned fifteen years old all that had changed when she became faith, the vampire slayer.

She had had some good times here, although she had always been a little bit jealous of Elena, a bit like she had been jealous of Buffy Summers, she supposed. Elena seemed to have everything, perfect family and a perfect life. But they had been friends. Of course, when she became a slayer, she hadn't kept in touch as much as she could have. The power had gone to her head just a little bit. And after she had gone to Sunnydale and met Buffy, she thought she had found a home again. Found friends and that had all spiralled out of control. There were faults and misunderstandings on both sides; she had never been very good at trusting people. Then she had spent some time in Jail, a place she could have escaped from anytime she wanted but she didn't. She wanted to prove that she had changed, and she liked to think that after the final battle on the hell mouth she had proved that to everybody.

So now it was time for a new beginning. She had left Robin Wood behind in Cleveland, guiding the slayers that were guarding the new hell mouth that had opened there. He had become like a watcher to them. They had shared a connection, but her connections were known to never last that long. They had parted on good terms though, unlike previous relationships she had had, if you could even call them that and shared an understanding.

Time for some fun, she thought and slammed the car door shut. With the click of the lock sounding behind her, she turned and walked up to the front door, wondering how Jenna and Elena and Jeremy would react to her appearance. She didn't look as crazy chick as she had done in the past, although her dark brown hair was curly, and she did wear all black and red lipstick. She still liked the dangerous look, although she thought she didn't look psychotic like Joyce Summer's had once called her.

Learning of Elena's parent's death a few years ago, she suddenly wondered how different Elena would be now. Surely not still the spoilt princess? Grief and death affected people in different ways and maybe Elena didn't have such a perfect life after all now.

Faith knocked on the door and smiled when Jeremy answered. "Hey, Jer, long time no see!" she exclaimed and then took in his appearance.

He looked dishevelled, like he hadn't had any sleep in days. Dark circles were underneath his eyes and he looked like he had been crying. "Cousin Faith," he answered her wearily. "What are you doing here? Not that...I mean, it's good to see you."

She rolled her eyes and walked into the house without waiting for an invite. "Thanks for the enthusiasm really, Jeremy," she told him. "Can't I just drop by? I know its short notice, but I am family you know."

"Sure, I know. You can stay as long as you like, but," his voice trailed off into an awkward silence.

"So, where is everyone?" she asked, looking around with interest. The old house looked exactly the same. "Elena? Jenna?"

She saw him flinch at the word Jenna, and that was when she realised that something was seriously wrong. "What is it Jeremy? What's happened?"

"Faith...Aunt Jenna's dead. She was killed."

"Wow," Faith was actually at a loss for words and completely shocked. "Jer, I don't know what to say."

"There's nothing you can say, ok? What's done is done."

Faith narrowed her eyes at him and thought that something didn't feel right here. "Jeremy, you can't talk like that. You have to deal with this otherwise,"

"What would you know?" he snapped at her.

"I know more than you would think I do." Well, this was going just great, so much for fun. She had to find Elena and see just what was going on around here. It looked like things had definitely changed a lot, and not for the better! "Where's Elena?" how could she leave you on your own like this?"

"I can look after myself, thanks. And I don't know where the hell she is ok? She's probably at the boarding house where she has been with Bonnie and Damon ever since...all she cares about is finding Stefan. Just leave me alone ok?" he turned and ran away from her up the stairs.

Things were definitely not looking good. "Wait Jeremy!" she called but he was long gone.

I know, short beginning. Let me know what you think, and tell me if it's worth continuing.
