I only own my oc. Long update :) with a lemon for your patience. Hope you guys enjoy.
Damon's pov
I hadn't heard from much from Alexis the last couple days so it was a surprise when she showed up at midnight on a Thursday, "Little late isn't it?" I asked not looking up from the book I was reading. She stepped down into the living room dropping her book bag down with a thud. "Couldn't sleep, really wanted to do something reckless decided to come here instead." She laid on the couch propping her legs up on me.
"What's more reckless then coming to hang out with a vampire?"
"I don't know, Jenna found my fake ID so tattoos and piercings are out." She shrugged, a small smile creeping across her face.
"And ruin that perfect skin, glad she took it. What's got you all broody anyway?"
"I've spent the last couple days under a mountain of homework and arguing with Elana about everything under the sun. You know I'm a terrible sister, I'm dating a serial killer etcetera."
"She's one to talk, ever heard of the Ripper of Monterey? All Stefan. If it makes you feel better I'm a pretty shitty brother." I moved so I was on top of her and kissed her forehead, I got up and held my hand out.
"Nope not at all." She said taking my hand and following me upstairs.
The next morning I woke up first, the sun streaming in through the windows falling just right on Alexis adding a red shine to her brown hair. Her arm thrown over me laying on her stomach breathing lightly I didn't want to ruin the moment but I knew she had to be awake soon. I ran my fingers lightly over her arm she pulled it back leaving me free to move. I rolled over and kissed her shoulder and drew light circles on her back with my fingers.
"Mmm is it morning already?" She still hadn't opened her eyes.
"Mmhmm." I kissed her forehead. "It's 7:30."
"Fuuuuuck, I feel like I just went to sleep." She sat up and walked over to her bag pulling out clothes and quickly putting them on. "So besides the fact it was only a couple hours that was the best I've slept in a while."
I'd thrown on clothes of my own and we headed downstairs she didn't seem to be in a big rush to leave "Don't you have school." I asked as we walked into the kitchen.
"Yeah, I don't think I'm going though."
"Haven't you missed like half the year." I laughed handing her a cup of coffee.
"I just have this feeling something terrible is going to happen today." The worry was obvious she twirled the spoon in her cup without touching it. I cut my hand and let it drip into the coffee, breaking her concentration the spoon *tinked* on the side of the mug. She stirred the coffee by hand this time, "I usually prefer French vanilla but that'll do."
"Extra proaction." I said taking a sip out of my own mug. I watched her finish her coffee, "maybe you should save some of that magic too incase you need it." I stopped I could hear someone walking I knew Stefan was already gone. "Stay here." I said in the firmest voice possible.
Alexis's pov
"Like hell," I said getting up from the table "I'm not sitting in here alone."
Reluctantly he led the way to the living room, making me stay behind him. When we got there Pearl and Anna were standing in the door way. "Haven't you ever heard of knocking." Damon said still keeping me tucked behind him, not that I wanted to be front and center after my last encounter with Anna.
"Don't need too, we didn't have to be invited in." Pearl smiled, "Just you and your brother live here? I'm surprised."
"How do you keep out unwanted vampires?" Anna peeped up.
"I kill them." Damon said as he charged Pearl, she threw him off easily.
"Take a seat Damon." She pointed to the couch before turning to me. "Are you going to be any trouble?"
I shook my head "Nope, keep your hands to yourself and I'll do the same." I said before sitting on the couch.
"Good. Now we've taken up residence in a farmhouse just outside of town it's small but it will do for now."
"Should be plenty big enough for the two of you" I said.
"Oh it's not just us many of the tomb vampires have joined us."
"All 25 of you?" My voice caught thinking about the shit hitting the fan. "But the seal?"
"We have you to thank for that, but no some have left town some are still in the woods but they will find us."
It hit me Damon looking confused I explained, "Sheila and Bonnie channeled me to bring it down when they put it back up Sheila did most of the work when she died the seal went away."
Pearl nodded "Anna tells me there is still a secret council I'm going to need those names?" Pearl said eyeing Damon.
"And everyone you supplied with vervain." Anna added.
"Yes that will have to stop."
"Why would I do anything to help you?" Damon asked.
"I'll give you Kathrine." I saw Pearl's eyes flick to me, "This was our home and it was stolen from us we intend to take it back.
"First of all I don't want anything todo with Kathrine, second it was your home in 1864 move on."
"You don't want Kathrine fine, I assume you want to keep your little pet witch alive."
I clenched my fists, "I'm not a fucking pet." Damon tensed next to me.
"I have more of Emily's elixir, do what I'm asking and Alexis won't have to see what a lethal does feels like."
Damon jumped up intent on attacking Pearl I couldn't see what was happening but I heard him yell out in pain. I raised my hand to Anna and watched her crumple to the ground holding her head and screaming, "STOP! Or I'll kill her." She let go of Damon and he fell to the ground groaning, I let Anna up but kept my eyes on both of them. "Leave."
Once I'd heard the door shut I ran to Damon who was covering his eyes. "Fucking bitch gouged my eyes out."
"I'm not going to lie if you move you hand and nothings there I'm probably going to puke."
Damon thankfully didn't move his hands right away when he finally did a few minutes later they were bright red and he wouldn't stop blinking. "Here." I said holding out my wrist to him.
"I have blood bags downstairs."
"Well I'm not going in the creepy ass basement to get them so here." I pushed my wrist to him again.
He finally took it I watched the veins run from his eyes he didn't drink long but when he was done he looked a lot better. "Come on let's go get you cleaned up."
"I'm fine, you need to go to school." He said standing up by himself. "I'll heal your wrist first."
I looked down the blood he'd put in my coffee had already done it for him. "I'm good, you however have blood all over your face."
"Alexis..."
"What? I just had my life threatened the last fucking thing I'm thinking about is physics." Honestly it was, the first thing on my mind was how it had felt to drop Anna to the ground.
"They're going to kick you out."
"Well good thing I have a vampire boyfriend to compel them not to." I laughed, Damon however did not. "Fine I'm going but please don't do anything stupid."
"Yeah stupid is not on my list, meet me at the grill after school."
By the time I'd made it to school I'd missed first period and it was 15 min into second. I walked in to history like there wasn't a problem.
"Wow both Gilbert girls grace our presence today." Alaric said still writing on the board.
"Figured you missed me." I said taking my seat. Alaric kept teaching, I looked towards Elana who mouthed "Where were you?"
I didn't respond she hadn't been worried till just now when she could clearly see I was fine. When class was over Ric stopped me, "I thought you said you were going to start showing up to class."
"It's been a rough few weeks." I said setting down some papers, "At least I did the homework."
"Does that work in all of your classes?"
"You're the only one who gives me a hard time about it." I turned to walk out.
"Show up to class Alexis." He half yelled because I was already in the hall.
"Where were you, you missed first period." Elana said moving off of my locker.
"Hmm sounds like you're concerned, yet my phone didn't ring once." I opened the locker roughly moving stuff around trying to find the right book. "I was with Damon."
"I'm going to cut you off right there I'm having a supernatural free day."
"Does he know that." I nodded my head to Stefan, Elana made a face and linked arms with Stefan walking away.
When the last bell of the day I couldn't be happier, thankfully minimal homework for once. Getting to the grill I noticed Damon by the bar talking to Jenna. I caught his eye and nodded to the booth I was about to snag.
I sat down pulled out my algebra book, no sooner had I found the right page Damon slid in across from me, pulling my book to him, "When did they start putting letters in math?"
"The late 1500's give it back." I said snatching it and finding my page again.
"How do you know that?"
"How do you not know that?" I said not looking up. "Elena is having a normal Friday night, so I figured I would too."
"This is normal?"
"Until I met you yep, the snarky, antisocial attitude is not a symptom of the accident." I looked up and smirked.
"Another perk to vamperisim, you don't have to know any of this stuff."
"Most non vampires don't have to know this stuff." I laughed.
The sound of Elana and everyone else by the pool tables caught my attention, Caroline's fake laugh could be heard over all of the noise. "Can we get out of here I can finish this later." Damon nodded I packed up my bag before we headed out. "Where's your car?"
"I walked." He shrugged before walking towards my truck. "Where are we going?"
"Wickery Bridge." He raised his eyebrow, "Don't look at me like that it's quiet there."
"It's also like 30 degrees outside."
"I thought vampires didn't get cold."
"We don't, but you do."
"I'll be fine." I said pulling to the side of the road. As we walked down to the bank Damon threw his jacket over my shoulders. "As sweet as the thought is you're going to want to take that back." I pulled a joint out as I plopped down in the grass.
He sat down next to me, "You and trees." He said shaking his head.
"I just like being outside, it's peaceful." I tried to shrug Damon's jacket off but he pushed it back up as I lit my lighter.
"If you could go anywhere, where would you go?"
I thought for a moment, "Everywhere."
"Seriously."
"Seriously I would go everywhere, I've never been outside of Mystic Falls. Well we went to Disney once not that I remember it but I'm sure it was hell." I flicked the cherry off the joint and put it in my bag, "I'd start with the obvious, backpack across Europe and then see where it takes me." I could feel my teeth chattering even with the extra jacket it was still freezing.
Damon stood up and held out his hand, "Time to go, frost bite is not a good look." I stood up taking his hand, as we walked back to the truck he stopped me halfway, "One day I'll take you anywhere you want to go." Kissing me on the forehead and then continuing our short hike.
We made the trip back to the boarding house I saw Elana's car and groaned. "We can leave." Damon said.
"No, she is not going to ruin my night. Which has been pretty awesome so far, thank you for taking my mind of everything." I got out of the car and stepped towards the house, Damon zipped up picking me up.
"I'm happy to distract you." His mouth crashed on mine I opened my mouth and his fingers dug into my hips.
I pulled away first, "mmm I like this distraction." I giggled as he pushed the door open kicking it closed behind him, he zipped us down the hallway I felt the railing of the staircase on my back. Readjusting my legs I knocked the table next to us knocking a lamp on the floor, I barely noticed since Damon's mouth was trailing kissed down my neck.
"Other people live here you know." I heard Elana's voice and pushed Damon away after he set me down.
"Don't be such a prude Elana." I said fixing my shirt.
"Don't have sex in random hallways." Caroline snapped.
"Is it really a random hallway if he lives here though?"
"It is when there are obviously plenty of bedrooms, be more gross ugh."
"Wow you're not even putting effort in to your insults any more." I bumped her shoulder with mine as I walked passed, she pushed me I caught myself on my hands before my face met the ground. I thought about punching her right in the face but I decided it would be better to just pretend she didn't exist because if there was one thing Caroline Forbes hated it was being ignored. She threw a few more insults at me, I tuned her out and walked towards the kitchen, Damon came in a few minutes later.
"So much for a distraction." He said stepping behind me and wrapping his arms around me
"Oh no I'm still very distracted, however I'm also very angry." I leaned back against him. "Are they gone?"
"Yeah they're gone, come on." He moved in front of me, held out his hand and I took it before we got to the living room there was a crash Damon pushed me back towards the hall. The way the intruders moved told me they were vampires both Damon and Stefan seemed to recognize them. The fight was short Stefan staked the woman, when the man saw her on the floor he took off.
"I remember them from 1864." Stefan said looking from me to Damon.
"Yeah about that." I said walking into the room.
Damon preceded to explain what happened this morning ending before what I though was the best part of the story so I added it for him. "Don't forget the part where I got all scary and got then to leave."
"You mean pissed them off more." Stefan said pointing between the broken window and the dead vampire.
"Oh, if it were about me then it would have been sneaky, this was brute force, they broke a fucking window. Which means my safe place is home." I went to walk to the door Damon was in front of me.
"Anna's been invited in."
"As opposed to every Tom, Dick, and Dracula that can just walk in here. I'll take my chances with one." I said trying stepping around him. "Elana's at home by herself and you don't see Stefan crapping his pants."
Damon let me pass but kept talking, "Isn't there some juju you can do."
"I can put a barrier up for the night but that would keep out all vampires. Hmm might be nice to wake up with the damn window closed for once." I laughed.
"We don't need to go that far." He kissed me on the forehead, "To be continued?"
"For sure." I said smiling before stepping outside.
The next morning I was woke up by Elana throwing one of my disgurarded pillows at me. "THE TOMB VAMPIRES ARE OUT?"
"Good morning to you too." I said rolling over and rubbing my eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
"I tried but you wanted a supernatural free day." I shrugged my shoulders
"Get dressed were going to the boarding house " She got up and walked back into her room only to yell at me 5 minutes later to hurry up.
I rode with her to the boarding house when we got there she spent the majority of the time bikering with Damon.
"Can you two please stop being snarky it isn't helping." I said
"I've earned Snarky." Elena snapped.
"Alexis has forgiven me for turning your mom, why won't you?" Damon said sitting on the couch.
"Because you're a self serving psychopath."
"Knock it off both of you, Jesus." I stood up from the couch their back and forth was giving me a head ache.
"Damon and I will handle the tomb vampires." Stefan said walking towards Elana.
"What about us?" Elana asked.
"You two are going to stay put." Damon said getting up linking my arm leading me to the kitchen. I jumped up sitting on the counter crossing my arms. "We have chairs you know." Damon said before standing in front of me.
"I can be helpful you know." I said mocking him. "You have to stop treating me like I'm just going to break."
"I can't concentrate on anything else if I'm worried about making sure you're safe."
I threw my head back and groaned out in frustration. Damon took it as an opportunity to pull me closer pushing my legs further apart.
"Hey Elana said she's leaving." I heard Stefan say from the door, "I'm going hunting." He said this time to Damon.
"I've got a couple pints of soccer mom in the fridge." A smirk rolling across Damon's face, I pushed his shoulder and said "Tell Elana I'll find my own way home."
Stefan left and Damon turned to me, "You know it's supposed to storm all day."
"Maybe I don't plan on going home, Elana woke me up at and ungodly hour yelling at me didn't even feed me before dragging me over here. Who wants to go back to that?" I laced my fingers together behind his head, "Besides, I'm pretty sure we had a to be continued going on."
"I think I remember that." His hands slid up my thighs to my hips, I wrapped my legs around him and I felt myself being pulled off the counter. He pushed me up against the door way, he pressed kissed down my neck making his way down to the hollow of my throat. I felt one of his hands slid under my shirt massaging my breast over my bra. My legs tightened around his waist as I let out an low moan, his mouth found mine and my hands tangled in his hair pulling him as close as I could get. He broke us apart pulling my shirt over my head followed by his and vamped us to the couch. He was on top of me devouring every bit of exposed skin he could get to while my hands grabbed his now bare shoulders. He nipped at my collar bone as his expert hands unclamped my bra, his tongue he trailed down taking a nipple in his mouth flicking it a couple of times causing it to pebble. He bit down just hard enough I gasped and bucked my hips, he switched sides while one hand slid down over my ribs and down to my jeans.
He toyed with the button before undoing it and lifting his head moving to my ear, "These need to go."
I kicked off my shoes as he leaned back peeling the fabric of jeans with him, his eyes widened when he realized I'd taken my own advice and not worn underwear. "Nothing for you tear off today."
He leaned over me running one hand lightly up the inside of my thigh, he kissed my neck and then whispered, "that's half the fun."
His hand found his target his thumb rubbed circles on my clit as he kissed his way back down my body. My heart pounding in my ears, his tongue took over for his thumb. I moaned out and arched my back, he pushed one finger in and I lost it. Damon wanting to drag out my orgasm as long as possible pushed a second finger in, so thankful we were the only ones there because I'm sure I could be heard down the block.
When I'd finally started breathing semi normal Damon picked me up his pants had disappeared, I was straddling him and he was teasing my entrance with his dick. I lowered myself on him both of us letting out a satisfied groan when he was inside me. He bucked his hips meeting me stroke for stroke, I threw my head back and he pulled me closer running his tongue around my nipple switching back and forth. I could feel myself starting to unravel again, my hands found his hair I pulled his mouth up to my neck. He kissed and bit with blunt teeth, I moaned out his name and he pumped into me harder. I felt the sharp prick from his teeth and the familiar feeling of blood being drained. His arm wrapped around me and pulled me as close as he could while we came within seconds of each other.
I laid my head on his chest as I caught my breath, after a few minutes I lifted myself off the couch and began putting on clothes as I made my way back to the kitchen.
"Where are you going?" Damon asked.
"Nowhere, well maybe to find some food. We just had sex in the living room it's amazing no one walked through the front door." I said pulling my shirt over my head.
"Yeah that is a little weird." He pulled out his phone I watched him dial as I raided the snack cabinet, he looked disappointed as he ended the call. "Can you call Stefan."
I reached into my pocket not finding my phone, "Nope I forgot my phone at home."
"I've tried Elana like twice, she's ignoring me."
"Maybe they're doing what we just did." I laughed pulling several cookies out of a pack.
"That's not breakfast." Damon said rolling his eyes and nodding towards my hand. "Come here let me heal that."
"I don't think Oreos and blood will go well together." I said taking his now bitten wrist anyway, when I was healed I took a bite of the cookie, "yep I was right." I said spitting it into the trash.
Damon handed me a cup of water, "I don't have the problem." He stole one of the cookes from my hand. "I think blood and chocolate go great together."
I rolled my eyes, "Come on let's go see if Elana has heard from Stefan."
When we got to my house I opened the door and hollered out, "ELANA!"
She came walking out of the kitchen, "What?" She said looking at Damon.
"You've been dodging my calls."
"You think you'd take the hint."
"Omg are you guys 12 stop." I said exasperated, "Elana, Stefan isn't back yet have you heard from him?"
"No, not since I left earlier." She grabbed her phone and dialed. "Straight to voicemail. Where is he?"
"I have an idea but you're not going to like it."
"Pearl's?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"Yep." Damon said.
"Well then let's go get him."
Damon made me and Elana wait in the car the tension was thick but thankfully didn't last long. When Elana saw Damon running back to the car she got out and I followed.
"I thought you were going to get him." Elana said.
"I can't get in. Fredrick compelled the lady that owns the house to not let me in."
"I can get in." I spoke up.
"And do what? Drop one and get torn to shreds by the others."
I was about to argue back but Elana pipped up first, "We need help, what about Mr Saltzman?"
"Don't know how willing he will be to help us since I You know, killed him."
"Well maybe you'll think about that next time you get all murdery." Elana snapped.
"Can we just go please." I yanked open the car door and motioned for Elana to get in. The ride to the school was quiet, whichwas great because Damon and Elana's constant back and forth drove me nuts.
The school was dark "Do we eve know he's here I mean it's Saturday."
"He's here." Damon stepped around the corner. "Well hello, dont you look, alive."
I stepped around the corner joining Damon, "We need your help."
"Why would I help you?" Alaric replied.
"Because it's Stefan." Elena had finally joined the party.
We made it to Alaric's classroom and Damon explained what was going on. "Why do you even think I could help?" Alaric said leaning back on his chair.
"Because of that fancy ring you have." I said. "Damon can't get in he's going to do everything in his power to make sure Elana and I stay put."
Alaric got up and went to the closet pulling out a bag of hunting tools, Elana picked up what looked like a dart. "What's this?"
"Vervain, highly concentrated." Alaric replied.
"Look you get me in and then get out." Damon said.
"Ok Rambo." I said mocking, "You can't do this by yourself."
Damon grabbed me by the shoulders and gave me a look I'd never seen before, "You. Are. Not. Going. You two are going home where it's safe."
Elana put her hands on her hips, "I'm going if she does or not. I can help."
"Fine, you two can go drive the get away car for all I care. You have to stay in the car."
Being left alone in the car twice in one day with Elana was not my idea of a great day she kept opening her mouth going to say something but would stop herself.
"You might as well just say it." I said.
"I wasn't-"
"Yes you were I've watched you try to start a sentence like five times now."
"What is it about Damon? He's done all of these terrible things but you act like it doesn't matter."
"Are you kidding me right now? He's up there risking his life to save his brother your boyfriend." I pulled out my phone and started scrolling through pictures and found the one I was looking for, "Here." I said shoving the phone to her.
"I don't get it, it's him sleeping and you smiling like an idiot."
"About a month ago I had a nightmare not like a regular get over it and fall back to sleep nightmare. I was so shaken up I snuck out and went to Damon's it was like 2 in the morning, no questions no expectations I climbed in his bed and slept the best sleep ever. Like it was my safe place, when I woke up I don't want to leave and subconsciously he didn't want me to either because every time I tried to get up he just pulled me closer. I took the picture right before he woke up."
"I'm not seeing the point."
"My point is Damon maybe the villain in a lot of stories but not mine. Elana you can't hold Damon to a different standard, Stefan has killed people too." I sighed, "I don't need you to be BFFs or anything I just really need you to stop giving me a hard time about it please."
Before Elana went to answer a tree branch slammed down on the car and we both screamed, realizing we weren't going to die I started laughing, Elana handed me a vervain dart and took one for herself before getting out of the car.
I got out and started following her, "Damon it Elana what are we doing?"
"They're taking to long they should have been back by now, at least Alaric." She said half running up the path.
"And this, is how we die." I said to myself.
Quietly as we could we snuck on to the porch someone was talking inside, Elana tapped me on the shoulder before pointing to a caller entrance. I nodded my head and followed her quickly down the stairs, she broke a window on a door before I could stop her. I followed her down a short hallway she peaked around the corner and turned to me, "just one." She whispered.
She looked back but quickly pressed herself against the wall, "Shit." I went to step around her getting to the opening about the time Damon knocked the other vampire out.
"Are you two fucking insane." He asked as me and Elana walked up to him. I pointed to Elana who shrugged, "Yeah I'm sure you tried really hard to get her back in the car."
"You know, I'd drop you right now if there wasn't a real chance of death here." I snapped back.
"Now who's 12?" Elana said stepping through the only other doorway in the hall. "Stefan," She gasped, he was tied with ropes to the ceiling he looked awful.
"Elana? You shouldn't be here." Stefan said weakly.
"Yeah I told tweedle witch and tweedle death wish to stay in the car." Damon said walking over to undo the ropes he'd barely touched them when he pulled his hands back.
"The ropes are covered in vervain." Stefan said.
"Elana grab those." Damon pointed to the ropes as he went to grab Stefan.
"Who's this?" I asked pointing to the vampire stakes to a chair.
"Help him. He tried to help me." Stefan croaked out.
I pulled the stakes out of his legs Damon helped Elana get Stefan to the door way, "Can you get him to the car?" He asked she nodded. Damon turned towards me, "Go with them." It sounded like a order.
"Elana's got this." I said going to follow him.
"Alexis GO." He stared me down when I didn't move, "I can't protect you up there, go help Elana I'll be there in a minute."
"No. Now let's go." I tried to push past him but he stopped me.
"You are bar shit crazy you know that right?" He turned and headed up the stairs keeping out of sight until two vampires ran past. Damon jumped out and tackled Fredrick, I watched them fight ready to help. Another one tackled Damon and Fredrick ran, with Damon pinned down I decided it was time to step out of my hiding place. I magically snapped the offending vampires neck, "See told you I'd be helpful."
Damon looked at me and his eyes widened I turned around just in time to see another vamp fall, Alaric standing behind him with a gun. "Thanks." I said letting my heart rate return to normal.
Damon got up, "I'm going after Fredrick, watch her." He yelled before running trough another door way.
"I'm going to look upstairs." I said.
"Alexis no." He said but I was already halfway up the stairs, I heard a creek before being pushed down the stairs. The vampire jumped down over the railing and attacked Alaric, I threw my hand up and watched him crumple to the floor. Damon was back and snapped his neck before coming over and helping me up. "You're really bad at listening today."
"I'm bad at it everyday. Did you find Fredrick?"
"No he's gone, come on we need to get out of here."
We walked out on to the porch there were at least 8 more vampires that we could see. "Rick how many of those vervain darts do you have left?"
"Just one." He replied
"Alexis can you drop them?"
"Maybe a couple but not all of them."
"Ok all out of plans, back in the house."
We stood at the door waiting for what could be our deaths when we heard what sounded like Pearl, "What's going on here?" The door opened and her face turned to shock. "What did you do?" She asked taking in the scene.
"You little band of merry vampires took my brother and have been torturing him all day."
"The responsible parties will be dealt with."
"Our little agreement isn't going to work if you can't keep you kids in line. If I had a good list this would not be the way to get on it." Damon said grabbing my hand and leading me out Alaric following behind us.
"You agreed with her deal?" I said walking down the steps.
"Can we add this to the list of things we're going to argue about later."
"Oh you better believe we're going to argue about it."
Stefan and Elana were in the back seat I was crammed in the middle between Alaric and Damon up front. When we'd dropped him back off at the school I slid as far as possible away from Damon.
"Trouble in paradise?" Elana asked.
"Shut up Elana." Damon and I said at the same time.
When we got to the boarding house Elana and Stefan headed upstairs me and Damon to the living room. Damon poured himself a drink, "So you going to start this fight or do I need to?"
"How the hell could you agree to give her all of that information?"
"I see you're starting, I did it to protect you."
"Well stop, that information puts all the founding families in danger hell not even just them the whole town."
"Talk about putting people in danger, you could have been killed tonight."
"Uggg I saved you and Ric both tonight. You can't just expect me to just let you walk into a fight and not try to help."
"Yes you can, I'm the one who's hard to kill without the blood from this morning you would have had a worse fall down those stairs."
"Well as you can see I'm perfectly fine." My phone started ringing it was a text from Jeremy
They found Vikki's body.
Damon had said something but I didn't hear him, "Hello." He said waving his hand in my face.
"Pause." I said.
"You can just pause a fight."
As I was about to answer Elana came down the stairs "Hey did Jeremy text you."
I looked away from Damon, "Yeah I just got it." I turned back to Damon, "They just found Vikki and now we're going to have to go sit in a room with her family and lie about not even knowing she was dead. So yes I'm going to need a fucking pause and we're going to need a ride home. Can you do that for me?"
I watched Damon's face drop, "Yeah let's go.
Elana and I got in the car before Damon got in she asked, "Still your safe place?"
"Yep." I said Damon had been too close to the car not to hear us and he confirmed he'd been eavesdropping by asking, "Where's that?"
I didn't answer still being mad, the ride home was so silent I could hear Elana texting in the back seat. When we got there I almost jumped out of the car, "I'm changing then leaving if you want to ride over with me."
"I'll take my truck but thanks." She replied.
Damon's pov
I watched Alexis practically run up to the house, I waited for Elana to get out but she stayed put. "I have a bottle of bourbon calling my name so..."
"I don't know what you two were fighting about, I mean I'm sure I can guess but you should just apologize." She said finally moving towards the open car door.
"I don't need relationship advice from someone who hates me but thanks."
"If you repeat this I'll find a way to kill you myself, You're her safe place Damon, she told me in the car before we ran into the house. She only went in that house because I did but she stayed for you. We're probably never going to be friends but you make her happy, well most of the time and I'm not going to stand in the way of that. Just say you're sorry."
"I'll take it under advisement, night Elana."
Alexis's pov
Being at Matt's was weird I sat in the kitchen with Tyler and Jeremy and listened to their Vikki stories Elana and Caroline were taking care of Matt. When Liz and Caroline finally left I decided it was time for me to go too I said my good byes and I'm sorrys to Kelly and Matt. I took the long way home so I could think I wasn't surprised when I saw the Camaro parked on the street and Damon on the porch swing.
"Hey," I said walking up the steps, I sat down on the swing next to him. "Un-pause?"
"Only if I can go first." He looked at me and I nodded my head. "I'm sorry."
"What?" I said staring at him.
"I know I don't say it much but I assumed you'd at least know what it meant." He said with a smirk.
"I know what it means, I'm just trying to figure out why you're saying it."
"Alexis I'm never going to stop trying to protect you but that doesn't mean that I need to keep underestimating you either."
"Well this just isn't fair, I had this whole thing worked out and you just come up here all calm and rational." I paused and took a long look at Damon. "I guess I'm sorry too. Now that doesn't mean I'm just going to sit back and let you do crazy stupid shit by yourself."
He threw his arm over me, "I'd expect nothing less, that being said you and Elana need to stay away from the house for the next couple days."
"Why?"
"Long story short Elana fed him some of her blood to save his life, now he's on a bit of a binge. He'll clean himself up but it's going to take a minute."
"I'm trying to be mad but I'd do the same for you."
We sat there until Elana got home with Jeremy, Damon explains the Stefan situation while I checked on Jeremy I sat down on the stairs and waited for her to come in.
"What are we going to do Elana? About all of this Jeremy the tomb vampires."
"I don't know I guess we'll figure it out tomorrow." She said heading up the stairs.
Hopefully there is a tomorrow.
