Chapter 3

Devon wakes up the next morning in the boarding house. It's been the second day staying with his brothers. He didn't know what to expect or if Damon was going to still be an asshole to him. Devon takes his phone off of the charger and decides to call his parents so they can know he was here safe and what happened yesterday. He slides his iPhone to the home screen, goes to his contacts and calls his house phone. Someone had to be home it was most likely his mom that will answer. After two rings Esme answers the phone.

'Cullen Residence may I ask who is speaking?'

'Hey mom it's me.'

'Devon, how are you sweetie?'

'I'm fine. I called to let you and dad know I got here safe. I arrived last night but I was tired and went to sleep.'

'It's fine that you didn't call last night Dev, as long as you are safe that is all that matters. How was it seeing your brothers again?'

'I gave them the shock of their lives when Damon open the door and I was standing there. At first he didn't believe that it was me so we got into a physical fight and he stake me but before he can actually kill me, Stefan stopped him. I'm fine through he didn't do a lot of damage.'

'He staked you? Where, no where's near the heart right?'

'No, mom he staked me in the stomach. I bled a little but it went away after a few minutes."

'I'm glad you are okay honey. How is it being back in your hometown?'

Devon puts the phone on speaker while he gets himself dressed. He puts on navy blue jeans and puts on a white t shirt. He takes the phone off speaker and sits on the bed finishing talking to Esme.

'It is weird I will give you that. Being back in the boarding house brings back a lot of memories. My room from when I was human wasn't touched after my death. They refuse to pack up any of my things and didn't throw away anything. Everything was how I left it since 100 years ago.'

'Wow I would have expected them to at least throw away a few things, that is a surprise right there.'

'Yes it is. I have to go mom. I hear Stefan coming up here. Tell everyone I said hi and that I miss them. I will call again. Bye I love you.'

'I will tell them. I love you too Dev.'

Devon hangs the phone up and when he does Stefan opens the door with a hint of a smile to his face. Stefan was full of happiness since his brother was back. He thought yesterday was all a dream. He thought he will wake up and find Devon not in his room but there he was sitting on his bed with a big mess of hair.

"Let me guess you were talking to your mother."

"Yes I was. Her name is Esme and she is Carlisle the leader's wife. I call them mom and dad since they never have turned their backs on me when I needed them in my life."

"I can tell they mean a lot to you. Do they have any other vampires living there?"

"Yes, three boys, Edward, Emmett and Jasper. Then they are two girls, Rosalie and Alice. I' am pretty close with my adoptive brothers. Jasper and I have kind of been through the same things so he understands a lot more than anyone else does."

"That's good that you have a family in your life. That's what you deserve."

"Thanks for thinking that, Stef. Too bad Damon doesn't."

Stefan walks into his room while Devon was putting away some of his clothes and the other things he has bought with him. A lot has changed about his brothers especially Damon. He was more of an asshole now that he is a vampire but Stefan seems to still be the same brother he always remembered. Stefan can see that his brother hasn't changed that much from his human years. He still sees the little brother with the big smile on his face that didn't let things worry him.

"Don't worry about Damon Dev, he is just Damon."

"Yeah he is a big asshole."

"He might be but he is still our brother."

"I know Stef and I can deal with him like I always have."

Stefan did have plans to see Elena and her friends today and judging by Devon's attitude and his face expression he doesn't want to be around Damon. Stefan was thinking that it would be a good idea for him to meet Elena and make some friends since he was going to be here for a while.

"You want to meet my girlfriend today Dev?"

Devon turns around when he hears this.Stefan Salvatore has a girlfriend?Devon didn't want to believe that he had one since he really never had girlfriends when they were human. He chuckles at Stefan while he closes the closet door and walks over to the bed to get his phone.

"You have a girlfriend? You're not joking with me right?"

Stefan smiles and chuckles at his little brother, knowing he would crack a joke like that to him.

"I can get a girlfriend in my life Dev. It's not that much of a surprise."

"Ok, ok Stef I'll come to meet her."

"Good, finish getting ready and we will leave soon."

"Alright, I'll meet you downstairs."

Devon calls to him while he walks out of the room. As he looks around his room and at the old picture of his brothers and him he remembers the human years with them. This room of his brings back some memories he likes and some he hates. It is going to be strange for him to be back here after all these years. He does hope that Damon stops being an asshole enough for him to actually talk to him like he used to.

He puts his phone into his pocket and grabs a jacket, along with putting his shoes on. He goes down the stairs and into the living room but stops when he hears Stefan and Damon talking. He hides behind a wall, listening in on the conversation. They were talking about something that Damon did a long time ago but when he hears the name Isobel Flemming his eyes become wide and the name alone was bringing back memories he has been trying to forget. Let's just say they met a year after she was turned and she just used him for information like Katherine did. She pretended to love him but as usually it was all a lie. As soon as he found out what she really wanted him for, he broke it off with her and since that day he hasn't seen her.

Devon keeps hearing them talk about her. Even though he didn't want to do this and let them know, he really had no choice right now. Devon emerges into the living room and they stop talking and turn over to Devon. Devon sighs at them and walks over to them, while talking.

"I know who Isobel Flemming is."

Stefan was surprised by this. He didn't expect him to know her since he hasn't been in Mystic Falls until now. Damon didn't really care for this conversation about this girl but now that his little brother told them he knew her, he was interested now. Damon didn't think Devon would even know a girl since he was more like Stefan then he is like Damon. Damon sits back and listens to them talk with blood in his cup that Devon notices and controls himself since the blood was getting to him.

"How do you know her Dev?"

"Let's just say I wish I never met her. I was hunting with Edward, Jasper and Emmett but I went off on my own and then I saw her and we got to talking. I had a relationship with her for 4 months."

"Do you a mean a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship?"

"I wouldn't consider it that. She was using me only for information and when I found out I broke it off with her. I haven't seen her since 2008."

Stefan thinks back what was told to him from Alaric and what Devon was telling him does add up. That meant she wasn't killed, just changed. That is what Damon wasn't telling him and why he keeps getting out of the conversation.

Stefan turns over to Damon and sees he has a smirk on his face. Devon did like it when they fought since it was funny to him. He sits down, watching the both of them. If a fight did break out Devon will stop it.

"You changed her, didn't you?"

"Yes little brother, I did change her. She came to me, begging to change her, how could I turn her away?"

Devon smirks at this and says something that made him sound like Damon a little bit.

"I don't know Damon maybe by just killing her and leaving it like that. You might be older than us both but you're so stupid."

"You think you're a smart ass don't you?"

Devon chuckles at Damon when he asks that. He shakes his head a little bit and stands up from the couch, getting in his face. So far the Damon and Devon weren't getting along and Devon didn't want this but Damon seem to not want him back in his life.

"I get it from the best. Have you forgotten I'm your little brother?"

"No I have not forgotten. How can I when I see myself staring back at me?"

Stefan can see that Devon was close to hurting him with him acting like an asshole. Damon tends to do that to people when he feels like he needs to show who is boss. Stefan grabs Devon's arm and lends him out of the room and outside to his car. He didn't want them to two to fight since one of them will be hurt more and that will most likely be Devon.

"I don't know how you can deal with him or better yet, how can you live with him?"

Stefan starts the engine to the car and drives out of the driveway on the way to meet Elena and their friends at the grill.

"I wasn't planning on him living here. He just came here to open the tomb where Katherine was supposed to be but she wasn't so now he won't leave. I don't him living here either but I'm not going to kick him to the streets."

Author Note: I messed up in the last chapter. They don't know yet that Katherine is alive. I'm trying to follow the show but it's been a while since I watched the first season. So don't point it out because I did mess up, I already know I did. So don't mind it, I will just have Devon tell them in the next chapter.

Katherine wasn't in the tomb; well that explains how she was alive.Stefan and Damon don't know she is alive and roaming around this world. Devon knows his brothers aren't stupid and they have to have an idea she is alive still since she wasn't in the tomb where most of the vampires were when they died.

"Do you guys think Katherine is alive out there someplace?"

"Yes I believe so but I'm not going to go look for her."

They arrive at the grill and before Devon gets out of the car, Stefan stops him from the opening the door to warn him about Elena. He doesn't want Devon to attack Elena if he thinks its Katherine.

"There is one thing you should know about Elena before you meet her."

"What is that? That she isn't your girlfriend, you're just pretending."

If Devon didn't want to admit he was like Damon with his comments and when he smirks it's just like Damon. Stefan hits him playfully on the arm and shakes his head no at him.

"There is something about her that you will realize right away. She looks exactly like Katherine. Looks mostly but her personality is different from Katherine's."

"Do you mean that she has her hair and her face?"

"Yes exactly, but she doesn't act like her in any way."

My brother is dating a Katherine look alike, yeah that's not weird at all.Devon says to himself while he nods his head at Stefan.

"I promise to not attack her since she is different from Katherine."

Devon was telling the truth, no matter how much she looks like Katherine; he won't attack her since she is a different person, just the looks at the same. They walk into the grill and Stefan spots them in the back with Elena's friends, Bonnie and Caroline. Devon stays behind his brother and follows him over there. He wasn't around new people much so this was kind of new to him. Stefan lends down and kisses Elena on the lips while Bonnie and Caroline notice Devon and they both can tell he was related to Stefan and Damon since he looked like the both of them.

"Is this your little brother Devon?"

Elena asks Stefan and he nods his head at her.

"Elena, Bonnie, Caroline this is my younger brother, Devon Salvatore-Cullen. Devon this is my friends and girlfriend, Elena, Bonnie and Caroline."

Devon smiles at all of them and a wave at them, Stefan sits with his girlfriend and Bonnie while Caroline makes room for Devon. She was smiling at him and looking him up and down. No one had to say he was their brother since he looks just like them. He smiles at Caroline and she starts a conversation with him.

"So you are the famous little brother of Damon and Stefan Salvatore?"

"I wouldn't say famous. I'm just related to them."

"How old are you?"

"I'm 17 like Stefan is. We always have been one year apart."

Bonnie already knew he was a vampire like Stefan and Damon were. She couldn't tell if he was like Damon or Stefan but from just looking at him and hearing him talk he seems like Stefan. Devon was looking over at Bonnie and he knew that she was a witch. It wasn't hard for him to tell when he came across one. Caroline kept talking to Devon but Devon wasn't giving full answers since he was being annoyed already. To Devon she talks way too much, more than his sisters at home.

"So Stefan told me that you are adopted?"

Elena asks him and Devon was happy he can talk to someone else. Caroline was getting on his nerves already.

"Yes I am. Our parents gave me up for adoption when I was a baby for personal reasons. I live with my adopted parents and siblings in Forks, Washington."

At that time Caroline and Bonnie got to the bathroom which leaves Devon, Stefan and Elena alone. Elena decides to ask him a question that has been on her mind since she was told he is a vampire too by Stefan.

"I do know you're a vampire like your brothers but what diet on you on?"

"Before my adopted father, Carlisle Cullen, found me I was out of control because I was drinking from humans. After he talked to me I started living with him and switched to the animal diet. I don't want to touch human blood again Elena so you don't need to worry about me while I'm here."

"I can tell your more like Stefan then your brother Damon. Is your adopted family vampires too?"

Devon chuckles a little at the part of him being like Stefan. That was always said by people when they were human and nothing has changed since he became a vampire.

"Yes they are but a different type. They are cold ones. Basically what type we are and our weaknesses and what can kill us won't kill them. They don't sleep, eat or anything that is human. They have golden/brown eyes which mean they drink from animals like I do."

"I never knew there was another type out there."

"I only know of our type and my family's type."

Elena was surprised there was another type out there since she only thought there was one. Stefan wasn't that surprised since he already knew of the cold ones. He never met one but he heard of them and so has Damon. While they are talking more about Devon and him being a vampire they stop when Caroline and Bonnie come back. Devon gets up to make room for Caroline and she keeps talking to Devon.

Devon can tell he made some new friends against his own will. When he looks at Stefan and Elena he can tell Stefan loves this girl and that he finally found someone and that made the youngest Salvatore happy inside for his older brother. For the rest of the day they get to know Devon and Devon gets to know everyone else. He was actually enjoying his time here but it will end soon when he needs to go back home to his other family
