I own nothing but my oc I hope you guys like the new update I rewrote this like 50 times. There is a lemon close to the end. Also a small explanation of Alexis's magic, not the whole story though gotta keep y'all interested lol. Well enjoy!
I woke up to the sound of my alarm blaring some pop song, I slapped it not in the mood. The bruising on my neck wasn't as bad as I thought I would be I could easily hide most of it with my hair and a hoodie, the dark circles under my eyes were another story. I spent most of the night restless between nightmares and just not being able to get comfortable it was a long night.
When I walked downstairs I saw Jeremy sitting with his sketch pad on the couch I walked over to Jenna at the table and whispered "Jeramy is drawing." I put my finger to my lips so she wouldn't say anything my voice still sounded a little rough, I grabbed some coffee and sat across from her. "Where's Elana?" She asked.
"Her and Bonnie have a project for English she stayed over so they could finish it." I lied.
She eyes me suspiciously but since it was Elana I'm sure she bought it. "You'll never guess who's back in town."
"OMG Backstreets Back?!" I said with fake enthusiasm.
"Don't be dumb," she laughed "Logan came by and practically begged me to invite him in."
I chocked on my coffee, "Eww don't, three strikes he's out."
"I know, oh I almost forgot Jeremy introduces me to your new history teacher he's pretty."
"I don't know if pretty is the word I'd use." I said I checked my phone and saw it was time to go "Bye Jenna," When I got outside I sent Damon a quick text Can we talk? Logan is back
When I got to school I found Bonnie and Elana talking by her locker. When I walked up Bonnie instantly looked guilty. "Hey guys what's up?" I asked.
Bonnie not making eye contact "I told grams about what happened not the woods..."
"And what did she say."
"She can't help you anymore as far as she's concerned it was a warning from the spirits."
"Excuse me?" I was mad and hurt I've known Sheila my whole life. "What does she think I'm going to do?"
"I don't know but she won't budge. She says if we anger the spirits enough they will punish us."
I stormed off with out another word I got in my Jeep and left I just started driving without a destination and ended up at the Boarding house. Sheriff Forbes was walking out as I went to ring the bell, "Oh hi Liz."
"Alexis? Shouldn't you be at school."
"Craziest thing I think I left my history book here."
"Mmhmm" She eyed me, I assume my explanation was good enough because she waved good bye and got in her car.
Damon was standing by the door, "liar" he mumbled behind a smirk.
"Oh yes cause you're one to talk." I walked passed him into the living room.
"Not that I'm not happy to see you but what are you doing here."
I didn't say anything I was still mad about Bonnie's grams I was mad about Damon's reaction when Emily blew his one chance to bits, not to mention the fact that he almost killed one of my best friends. "We need to talk."
"Can it wait I've got some vampire hunting to do?" He stopped for a moment "Actually do you want to help?"
"Can you give me five minutes please? It's..." I looked at my watch "eight thirty and I've already had the day from hell." He looked at me with a blank expression and I took that as my cue to continue. "Sheila won't teach me anymore because of Emily."
"So teach yourself incase you haven't noticed there is a whole library here and I'm sure there is something helpful in there."
"It's not just that I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm evil or something. Bonnie said she is taking what Emily said as a warning."
"Well you don't seem evil to me, and believe me I've seen some evil." He stopped and looked at me he moved the hair off my neck that was bunched up around the top of my sweatshirt. "I can heal that for you if you want."
"No, it's fine. Why did you attack Bonnie? The way you reacted last night when she blew up that crystal, and not mentioning the whole twenty-seven other vampires in that tomb what was the point?"
"This is going to take way longer then five minutes."
"I'm serious Damon you were ok with letting almost thirty vampires loose on Mystic Falls? Hello I'm a human I'd be one of their dinners."
"I... I just have to free Kathrine. Emily fucked me over and broke our deal, I reacted badly. I would have made sure you didn't get hurt."
"Really? How?" Damon didn't answer I knew there were still things he wasn't telling me "If you want Kathrine fine but don't string me along just to pass the time." I crossed my arms in front of my chest to add emphasis on my point.
"No one is stringing anyone along." He said his blue eyes meeting my green ones "Now I've let you vent, will you help me or not?"
"Is this about Logan?"
"Logan?"
"Jesus what's the point of having a phone if you're not going to check it. Logan fell came to my house last night begging Jenna to let him in."
"He must be who attacked the woman last night that's why Liz was here." He dug in his pocket and pulled out the compass. "I need you to use this to help find Logan, I'll be close by but not enough to mess with the signal."
"You're just going to send me alone to deal with a bloodlusting vampire"
"It's daylight stay outside and you'll be fine, I have an idea of where he's hiding."
We got into Damon's car and headed to an area that had several abandoned warehouses he dropped me off and said "I'll be here within seconds of your phone call." He handed me the compass and took off.
Damon's pov
As I parked the car I couldn't help thinking about the bruises on Alexis's neck, they were my fault she was trying to get that necklace, Emily would never have even noticed her if it wasn't for that. Here I am putting her in danger again. Maybe I should just give this up take a leaf out of Stefan's book and just leave, the only thing holding me here is Alexis. She thinks I'm stringing her along if I leave after this maybe she'll be mad enough that she'll get over it faster. My phone vibrated in the seat when I saw it was Alexis I answered and zipped off on her direction.
"This is it." She said handing me back the compass.
"You stay out here, I don't need you getting hurt and you don't need to let him know your a witch."
She was staring at her shoes and spoke softly "I can handle myself."
"Well handle yourself out here ok?" She still wasn't looking at me.
When I walked inside I had to commend Logan it was a perfect hiding spot no windows, remote. I saw him just a second too late. BANG BANG BANG shots rang out and I had three bullets to the chest.
"I have a bunch of these nifty bullets so don't try any thing." Logan said as he prowled around me all I could think was Alexis needs to stay outside "You don't want to do this." Another bang from his gun and I was shot on the shoulder. "AHH FUCK" I yelled. I heard the door swing open and slam against the wall.
Alexis's pov
I saw Damon sitting on the floor I must have startled Logan because before I got half way to Damon a shot rang out and hit me in the thigh. "Fuck... stop shooting me!" I yelled out as my knees hit the ground. I threw my hands up "Stop I'm not a vampire."
"I told you to stay outside." Damon said through gritted teeth.
"Hey you two have your argument later." Logan spat he snatched the back of my shirt and dragged me over by Damon. "I didn't expect to have an audience."
Damon pulled a bullet out of his chest and looked at my leg. "Don't touch it you're not bleeding too bad but if you pull that out it may."
"Your brother turned me that night." Logan continued.
"He couldn't have turned you, hell he didn't even kill you that was Vikki."
"Whoever then, she bit me and I woke up like this behind a car lot on route 4, someone buried me."
"Yeah that happens." Damon said pulling out another bullet. "You don't turn from a bite, you have to die with vampire blood in your system. Someone else found you first and fed you their blood." Finished removing his bullets he looked at my leg again it was starting to hurt a lot more.
"Who would do something like that? Why?" Logan questioned.
"That's what I want to know."
"It's not like the welcoming committee showed up with a hand book. Once I got myself out of my shallow grave I went home and couldn't get in."
"You have to be invited."
"I know I live alone, so now I just sit at the Ramada watching pay per veiw and eating everything in sight, including housekeeping." He paused scratching his head with his gun, "All I can think about is killing and and blood I really like killing."
"Yeah that'll happens your going to have to learn to control that. Wait, the police only found one body."
"I know I got tired so I left one." Logan pointed to a pile of bodies behind him. "They just keep piling up." When I looked behind him I almost threw up.
"Those we're innocent people." I said barely more then a whisper.
"All I can think about is my girl friend kissing her, killing her." Logan continued.
"Stay away from Jenna." I tried to get up but Damon held me in place.
"You probably love her, anything you felt before is going to be magnified another thing you're going to have to learn to control."
"How do you walk in the sun? The council would never suspect you." I put my hand over Damon's hiding his ring Logan didn't notice to busy musing to himself. "There isn't even anything in the journals about it."
"The journals?" Damon and I asked at the same time.
"You little girl need to bone up on your family history, the founding families wrote in journals to be passed down to the next generation to keep them safe from things that go bump in the night."
"Who turned you." Damon yelled I could see he was all healed up and getting ready to run, he tightened the grip on my hand.
"How do you walk in the sun?" Logan asked again.
"I asked first."
"Guess were at an impasse." Logan held up the gun "well I have placed to go people to kill."
Before he could pull the trigger I threw up my hands "NO" I yelled and he crumpled to the ground with a snapped neck. "Did I just... kill someone."
Damon pulled me up throwing my arm over his shoulder and half carried me towards the door. "Nope he's going to wake up in a little bit and be pissed." He picked me up and zipped us back to his car. He held out my leg "this is going to hurt."
"Wait give me your belt." I said he looked at me funny but did what I asked I folded it in a half and went to bite on it.
"That's a three hundred dollar belt." He said with a raised eyebrow.
"Would you rather have me screaming for the whole neighborhood to hear?" I put the belt in my mouth and Damon dug to pull out the bullet. I was glad I thought to use the belt because Damon retrieving the bullet was worse then getting shot in the first place. He was right to tell me not to pull the bullet out in the warehouse once he got it out blood started pouring out Damon immediately bit into his wrist and offered it to me I took it more then willingly.
"We have to go." I said as I wiped my mouth "there's a career fair at the school Jenna's going to be there and as soon as it gets dark-"
"Hey, calm down I'll take you back to your truck and then go to the school I'll keep an eye on Jenna Stefan already knows what's going on I'm sure hes already there. You go home and change an meet me." Damon said not breaking eye contact. I took a deep breath "You're right." I said.
"Always a tone of surprise" he smirked.
Once I got home I ran upstairs everyone was already gone I grabbed the first pair of jeans I could find throwing them on and running back out to my truck. I sped to the school when I got there I found Elana and Stefan "Have you seen Logan?" I asked.
"No but I've been keeping an eye out for him." Stefan replied.
"Why what's wrong?" Elana asked
"Vikki killed Logan, but he's a vampire now." I said she looked around, "There, talking to Jenna." Elana said pointing.
"You get Jenna and get her out of here."
Elana did what she was told and me and Stefan walked up to block Logan, "How's the neck?" I asked.
"Fine no thanks to you," He looked at Stefan " ahhh the younger Salvatore brother lets skip the whole who turned me argument I've already had with your brother and tell me how you walk in the sun."
"As far as I know me and Damon are the only ones who are able to."
"Yes but the fact that neither of you will tell me how means that it's possible for others." He paused for a moment "You know, I'm pretty famous around here I could expose all of you."
"Get used to being a night walker and don't threaten me again." Stefan said staring him down and shoving him out of the way.
I looked around for Damon and couldn't find him realizing I lost Logan I decided to ask if anyone had seen him finding Matt, "Hey have you seen Logan Fell I had some questions about broadcast journalism."
"Yeah he just left with Caroline." He said.
I tried to keep my face calm, "ok thanks."
I found Stefan and tried to call Damon only to be sent straight to voicemail. Damn it. I called Stefan and he picked up right away "Hey Logan has Caroline and I can't get a hold of Damon."
"I'll take care of it." He said before hanging up. I spotted Liz who looked like she'd just gotten a pretty disturbing phone call. I was eavesdropping when I heard her say "ok stay right there she called a code in to her radio and I followed her out jumping in my truck I tailed her and got to Damon and Logan as he threw Damon to the ground and took off.
I jumped out of the truck knowing he was fine but had to make it look good. "Faker." I whispered. He gave me a quick smirk before getting up and going to talk to the Sheriff. When he came back I had questions. "You totally could have taken Logan Why didn't you?"
"He said he's got information on the tomb I'm not the only one trying to open it."
"You think he was telling the truth?"
"I'm not sure I'm going to meet him you go home I'll come by after."
"I need to go check on Elena first she was pretty freaked out when she found out Logan turned."
I drove back to the school and saw her truck was gone I tried to call her but she didn't answer. What's with everyone ignoring me today. I pulled back out into the road my phone rang it was Elana "Hey where are you? I asked.
"I'm almost home, Alexis she looks exactly like me."
"Who?" But I already knew what she was talking about.
"Kathrine, where are you? I really need to talk."
I'll be there in a- holy shit!" I slammed on my breaks to avaoid hitting the man in the road I didn't, my Jeep flipped my head slammed into the window my truck was upside down.
Damon's pov
My phone rang I saw it was Elana "What?" I answered
"Something happened to Alexis I was on the phone with her and then a bunch of loud noise and the line went dead."
"I'll find her." I said I hung up the phone and sped down the road when I saw the truck there was a man walking up to it, who vamp speed took off when I got out of the car. She was conscious pulling at her seat belt trying to get out of the car. I leaned down at the drivers side window "cover your face." I said, she did and I smashed out the window "ok put your hands on the roof when the seat belt snaps you're going to fall." I watched her brace her self while I broke the seatbelt like it was nothing, she fell downward and I caught her before her head could hit the roof I pulled her out through the window. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah." She bent down and pulled her bag out of the car and started looking for something.
"What are you doing?"
"My phone I was talking on it when I hit... where did he go?"
"Vampire, he took off when I got her."
She found her phone and got of the ground brushing the glass off her pants. "How did you find me?"
"Elana called, said you'd gotten into an accident you should probably call her back."
She held up her phone, "Its fucked." And it was the screen was completely gone. I tossed her mine and said "Call her from the road. Are you sure you're ok?"
"I'm fine, my head hurts a little." She said walking to the Camaro, I assume the blood from earlier probably already healed any injuries. I moved her truck off the road before joining her she'd just hung up with Elana. She turned to me "So where are we going?"
"It's a surprise." I said she seemed satisfied with the answer because she leaned her seat back and closed her eyes. We'd been driving all night before my phone rang, Elana again. "Seriously, what now?"
"Where are you guys? I thought you were bringing Alexis home, is she ok?"
"We're on a little road trip, she'll be back tomorrow."
"She's going willingly? Did you kidnap my sister."
"Stop being dramatic, she's fine asleep but fine I can wake her up if you want."
"No I'll cover for her... Damon why do I look like Kathrine?"
"I have no clue you and Steffy should figure that out together. Bye now." I hung up the phone and noticed Alexis was awake.
Alexis's pov
I stretched my arms above my head feeling better now I leaned my seat up and said "Where are we?"
"A highway headed south."
"Well aren't you just a wealth of information." I looked out the window I really didn't recognize anything. "Who was the guy I hit."
"I don't know we don't have a bar we all hang out at and swap stories."
"Does this road trip include food? Between leaving school and Logan and crashing my truck I haven't eaten anything. Oh my poor truck it's totaled isn't it?"
"Oh yeah it's toast. We're almost there if you can wait on the food I promise it will be worth it."
"I can not wait. I would literally eat you at this point." I laughed
"Ha! I'd win that fight." He laughed and pulled off an exit ramp and stopped at a gas station he came out with a bag and handed it to me I opened it up "Again with the muffins." I laughed opening one up.
"I can take them back and you can starve." The smile he had told me he was bluffing.
"No I like muffins, so really where are we."
"Georgia, I'm following a new lead to get in to that tomb, a witch I know owns a bar just outside of Atlanta if there's a way in she'll know."
I picked at my muffin I knew what I needed to say but I didn't want to. A couple minutes passed before I said "I don't think I can handle it if she comes out of that tomb and takes you away from me." Damon went to speak but I held up my hand "I know we've talked about this a hundred times but maybe after we get back we just take a break until she's out and you know what you want."
He took my hand "I am very well aware of what I want. If you're not sure then you need to speak up."
I didn't have time to answer he pulled up to a building with the word Bree's on the awning. "We're here." He said getting out of the car he walked around to help me out. We walked in an a woman who I could only assume was Bree walked over "No, no it can't be Damon. My honey pie." She pulled him in and gave him a kiss. The jealous girl friend in me flared up and I cleared my throat loudly. Bree ignored me as we followed her to the bar and took a seat.
"Listen up everybody! Here's to the man that broke my heart, crushed my soul, destroyed my life, and ruined any and all chances of happiness!" She poured some shots and pushed them in front of us. "Drink up!" Her and Damon drank theirs I pushed mine to Damon needing more then a couple muffins to start drinking
Bree turned her attention away from Damon "So, how'd he rope you in?"
"Tried to kill me," I shrugged "can I just have some coffee please?" When she came back with my coffee I asked "So how did you two meet?"
"Oh about 20 years ago I was a freshman in college and I saw this beautiful man on campus and fell in love and when he told me his secret and that made me love him even more because I have a secret of my own." She smiled
"Damon said you were a witch." I said stirring my coffee
"You're one to talk I could feel the magic coming from you when you walked in the door. You're not a normal witch though are you?"
"If you mean was I born a witch no, I was in a car crash and drowned when I woke up BAM magic." I made an arch gesture with my hands.
"Well lucky you sounds like an elemental to me."
"A What-a-What?" I asked
"Elemental, while natural born witches rely on the spirits, nature, and light for their magic you rely on nothing but yourself and your surroundings the shadows don't hurt either."
I thought for a moment "So Glenda does that make me a good witch or a bad witch?" I said, Damon snorted into his drink.
"Well Dorothy," She said catching my joke "that just means you need to be very careful who you align yourself with. You're a rare commodity and there are dangerous people out there who would be more then happy to get their hands on you."
"Doesn't really matter now the woman who was helping me won't anymore because the spirits want their magic back."
"Oh hunny don't you listen to that they couldn't take it back if they tried from what I've read not even death can take it from you." Bree walked in to the back.
"Maybe you could help me open the tomb." Damon said downing his shot. I didn't answer truth be told I didn't care if that box ever got opened. Bree came back with a large leather bound book "It won't have all your answers but it's a start." She said. I walked out to put the book in Damon's car.
Damon's pov
"So Bree there has to be another way in that tomb."
"After all these years it's still only Kathrine."
"No, I'm pretty sure it's the real deal with Alexis, it was all about her but now I just want to get her out. You know kind of a payment for turning me."
"Whatever you say but like I told you it's three simple steps comet, crystal, spell."
"I don't have the crystal we had a little mishap."
"Well then you're not getting into that tomb, Emily's magic is absolute."
"What about Alexis? You said yourself she's powerful."
"She is but trying to undo that magic would most likely kill her. If you really feel the way you say about her then you will leave this alone."
Alexis's pov
When I came back in Bree was setting down two plates in front of Damon. I sat down next to him "Oh my god food. so you really don't know why Kathrine and Elana are body doubles?" I asked before taking a bite of the burger in front of me.
"Not a clue."
"I wonder if we're related to her."
"She would have had to have had a child before she turned."
"Right vampires can't have kids."
I finished my food and Bree came over dropping off a beer for Damon and taking my plate "Hang on." I leaned over the bar looking at the multiple bottles of liquor "Can I have a double of Jameson and a coke." Damon looked at me. "What I deserve it." I laughed as Bree dropped off my drink. We talked about nonsense for a while Bree got nostalgic some how a drinking contest started and I was totally out of my league.
There was music playing and I was just drunk enough to want to dance I pulled Damon out of his chair and he didn't protest. It took no time before I was grinding on Damon and as tight as he was holding my hips he seemed to be enjoying himself. The song ended Damon turned me around facing him, he pulled lowered his head and pulled me in for a kiss that felt like fire. I'm not sure if it was the whiskey or just Damone but I needed more and I needed it now. I pulled him towards the bathrooms "Where are we going?" He asked.
I didn't say anything I just kissed him again pushing my self as close to him as I could he must have go the message because he lifted me up wrapping my legs around his waist and walked through the bathroom door locking it behind him. He set me on the counter breaking away from our kiss he tangled his fingers in my hair pulling my head back and kissing down my throat. Quickly ridding myself of my t shirt he unsnapped my bra and nipped down my chest taking a nipple into his mouth he bit and flicked while giving the other breast ample attention with his hand I moaned out and gripped his shoulders feeling him smile before switching sides. He moved back up to my neck and I found his belt and undid it followed by the button and zipper pushing his pants down just enough that his erection was on full display. I started rubbing it he let out a groan and returned to my mouth deepening the kiss as I continued pumping his dick he pulled me off the counter and said, "You need to loose those jeans before I rip them off." I pulled them off with my panties and he lifted me up again pushing himself into my dripping folds he pinned me up against a wall bitting and sucking my neck pumping into me. I dragged my fingernails down his back sure I broke skin and cried out his name came tensing around his dick, he continued for a few seconds before finishing and gently set me back on the ground holding me up still since my legs felt like jelly.
Once I regained my balance I pulled my clothes on I turned to Damon, "Well then," I said "never done that before. I'll go ahead and check sex in a bathroom off my list."
"Glad I could help." He laughed before pulling me in for a quick kiss and leading the way out of the bathroom. While avaoiding the glances of the people clearly waiting for it to be unoccupied I signaled to Damon I was going to step outside. When I walked out the cool air felt amazing but that was the last thing I remember before it all went black.
Damon's pov
"Where's your girl?" Bree asked.
She walked outside a few minutes ago but it was weird she hadn't come back in yet. I walked outside not seeing her I walked around back. When I saw her she was laying on the ground unconscious, I sped over but before I got to her I got cracked with a bat.
"What the hell? Who are you?"
"Of course you don't know." Replied the attacker "you killed my girlfriend."
"What?" Alexis said I saw her sit up hand on the back of her head
"She went went to visit Stefan and Damon killed her."
"Lexi" Alexis said moving closer "I met her she said you were human."
"To be with someone forever you have to live forever." He said pouring gasoline on Damon.
"She told my sister when it's real you can't walk away." She was still moving closer.
"Well you won't have to make that choice." He pulled out a match.
"Stop please, killing him isn't going to make you feel better. You won't be hurting him he'll be dead, you'll hurt me a girl you don't even know. You'll put me in the position you're in right now. Lexi loved you and she wouldn't want you to do this."
He kicked me before throwing the match away and started to walk away. Alexis ran over to me and looked at the man and said "Thank you."
"It wasn't for you." He said before zipping off
"Are you ok?" She asked looking back at me.
"Yeah go to the car I need to have some words with Bree." I said
I watched her get in the Camaro before walking inside. "We're leaving I just wanted to say good bye." She was turned away from me "it was nice to see you Damon."
"No goodbye kiss?" I flashed in front of her.
"I'm full of vervain." She said I could hear her heart pounding in her chest.
"And?"
"You killed my friend. Lexi didn't deserve what you did to her." She was backing away slowly
"So you call a vampire hit man to take me out." I grabbed her by the throat.
"The tomb can be opened." She said
"You're lying."
"Emily's grimoire, it will have the answers."
"Where is it?"
"I don't know but if you can get ahold of it you can get in that tomb, I'm telling the truth."
"I know and that makes me feel almost bad for what's going to happen." Before she could say another word I reached into her chest and pulled out her heart flinging it across the bar. I watched her crumple to the floor before grabbing a towel wiping my hand off, picking up my jacket and walking out to the car.
Alexis's pov.
Damon got into the car and I was immediately hit with the smell of gas he tossed me his jacket "I don't need that smelling like gas." He said. I rolled down the window to try and bring some fresh air in the car. "I already have a concussion let's not add to that headache.
"Hold on." He got out of the car and opened the trunk when he came back he'd changed clothes. "Better?"
"Much. You killed Bree didn't you?"
"Yeah, she called bat boy on me I wasn't going to risk her sending someone else after me."
"If he had dropped that match on you I would have killed him." I said knowing deep down that it was true.
"Yeah, so where was the witchy juju?"
"I was disoriented, and overly emotional I didn't want to risk hurting you by not being in control."
"Well thanks for not killing me, and saving my life." He reached over taking my hand in his.
"I'm really tired." I went to lean my seat back.
"Oh no no no." He bit into his wrist and held it out to me I didn't take it. "No blood no sleep, you most definitely have a concussion and I'm going to need you not to die in my car."
I took his wrist and immediately my headache was gone along with the tired feeling, we spent the ride home talking mostly about the places he'd lived his favorite being the time he spent in New York. When we finally got to the boarding house I noticed Elana's truck in the driveway. "Looks like somebody decided to make nice." I said with a laugh. "I need a shower."
"I'll be happy to help." He winked and we headed inside.
