Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to The Vampire Diaries, TV show or books. However I decided to have a little play around with the characters (I would definitely like to play with Damon).
Finally, after an almost 9 month hiatus this story is back. I have managed to look at the issues and have scrapped what I'd got planned and restarted with the plot. It is completely revamped and the plot hole I'd written myself into is no longer an issue.
I apologize for writing the grossest scene ever. ;)
I hope you enjoy this new chapter.
Elena walked downstairs and did a little twirl on the marble floor. She was dressed in a short, tight fitting, strappy maroon dress and black pumps. Elena had her hair partially taken up and her make up was slightly heavier than usual, although not quite as heavy as Katherine would wear. Damon was waiting for her in the foyer wearing looking exceptionally handsome in a dark blue shirt and black jeans. Both colors they wore were suitable to get blood on and for it to not show up, especially in the dark light of a club.
Damon grabbed her by the waist. "You look beautiful." he whispered before pouting. "Do we have to go out?"
"You know we do." Elena sighed. "I need to know if blood from the vein will work."
Damon and Elena set off to find Bonnie and Jeremy who were sat on the couch watching Big Bang Theory on the huge TV in the large open plan lounge area next to the kitchen. They sat holding hands but as soon as they noticed Damon and Elena, they quickly let go.
"So you guys ready to go?" Jeremy asked.
"You look great Elena." Bonnie smiled.
"We'll be out for most of the night." Damon told them. "I heavily suggest you two don't wait up, unless it is urgent of the supernatural variety and cannot wait." he smirked.
"Thanks Bonnie." Elena smiled. "If there is an emergency, text us."
"We will." Bonnie and Jeremy chimed as Damon and Elena turned to leave.
"Oh don't do anything I wouldn't do." Damon called out in a sing-song voice with a smirk on his face.
"That's a very short list Damon." Elena chided.
"Is there anything you wouldn't do?" Jeremy asked, raising an eyebrow.
Damon thought for a moment. "Is that a before or after meeting your sister?" he smirked. "Before, the list would have been very short. Now..."
"Damon!" Elena chided, tapping him on the arm.
"...whatever is off limits for your sister, is off limits for me too." Damon smiled sweetly at Elena, ignoring her interruption. "And I don't care because nothing I did previously lives up to the happiness I get from being with you. Nothing compares." he added as Elena lowered her eyelashes.
"Ew, pass me a bucket." Bonnie grimaced.
"One day Sabrina, you'll understand what it's like." Damon looked at her pointedly. "And when you do, I'll borrow that bucket." he grinned as Jeremy threw a cushion at them, which the dodged at vamp-speed. "Hey, the hair." Damon complained. "Shall we go?" he asked turning to Elena who nodded. "Night kids." he sang as they turned to leave.
"Night Jer, goodnight Bonnie." Elena called out.
"Have fun." Bonnie called.
"Yeah yeah, night." Jeremy said, knowing they could hear them as the door closed and he and Bonnie were finally alone.
Stefan and Alaric were still going through Kol's journal's and letters, making notes about anything and everything related to Travelers. So far they hadn't come across anything regarding the prophesy itself which they didn't already know. Ric picked up a bunch of letters which were addressed to Rebekah from Kol. They'd not bothered looking at them as both Ric and Stefan had suspected they might be private, however Elijah had handed those letters over and they were getting desperate, so Ric opened the string which held them together and began to read the first letter out loud.
Dearest Sister
I have decided to have a change of scenery. As much fun the Travelers where, I feel they only befriended me for my abilities to kill. Which although is a great deal of fun, they do not seem to offer much in the way of interest regarding their magic. They can prove to be very secretive at times. I also discovered the massacres they were asking me to commit every full moon, were to fuel their power through a type of magic called Expression. I'm not interested in running with witches who have little power, and only want me around to bring them more, therefore I decided to leave and find a new coven who were prepared to share their knowledge and utilize my talents for mutual benefits of reward or simply knowledge. I also discovered a piece of information which means I no longer want to be part of the Travelers little rituals, however I shall explain more about that later.
Fortunately there was another coven in Oregon called the Gemini Coven. These witches were rivals of the Travelers, therefore I decided to study them. However I have to be on my best behavior, I am not allowed to kill. Instead I have to let my victims go. As you can imagine dear sister, I doubt I will stay long with these witches.
The reason I have not killed them or abandoned them is because of their tie to Silas. The Travelers revere him and are desperate to wake him. The Gemini Coven will do everything they can to stop the Travelers. It turns out there is a prophesy related to Silas and the Gemini Coven , along with the Bennett Coven, are the protectors of this prophesy.
Stefan and Ric looked at each other. Neither had heard of the Gemini Coven, this was new information, therefore Ric continued.
Together, they are able to create an alternate world where they can access the tombstone from where it was last seen, which is essential in the destruction of Silas, should anyone be stupid enough to raise him. When the 'One' appears, he or she will suck the magic from Silas and the travelers, forcing the balance of nature to be restored. To ensure they are strong enough, the leader of the Gemini Coven is produced from the result of a set of twins merging their powers together. The strongest one survives and takes on the magic of their twin who dies. It is truly fascinating.
Normally I would leave the coven quickly, but I fear Silas. I have mentioned him many times over the centuries and now I am building a bigger picture. If released, he will unleash hell on earth. I know you do not believe me dear sister, but the more I discover the more I believe he is not only real, but that sometime in the future, someone will try to raise him and potentially create hell on earth, and I do not wish that to happen as I quite like earth as it is.
I am having to be very careful around the Gemini Coven as they do not appreciate my penchant for violence and they have threatened to place me in one of these alternate worlds and leave me there should I continue my behavior. So for now I am being careful and not killing anyone. But once I have an artifact of theirs, I will leave. I know what I want, but whether I can get it remains to be seen. Once I have done here, I will return with my treasure to New Orleans before embarking upon a new adventure.
Your Ever Loving Brother
Kol
"What's the Gemini Coven?" Stefan frowned.
"Never heard of them before." Ric shook his head. "But whatever, or whoever they are, they're going to be our new best friends." he said.
"It looks like these are the letters we need to be researching." Stefan sighed as he took half of the letters from Ric and they both began to search for more clues about the Gemini Coven.
Damon and Elena arrived at the club in Richmond. Instead of joining the queue, they walked up to the doorman where Damon compelled him to let them in. Once inside they took stock of their surroundings. The club was far more upmarket than Billy's although that wasn't a particularly difficult achievement. The music was loud with heavy base dance music, which neither Damon nor Elena cared for, but that wasn't the reason they'd come to the club. Dancing was on the agenda, but only as a means to find someone to feed from.
They made their way to the bar and ordered a bourbon for Damon and a sparkling mineral water for Elena, to which she gave a disgusted look. Alcohol was no longer making her feel ill, in fact she was craving it as it helped with the need for blood. But nobody knew how alcohol would affect a baby in their circumstances. For a vampire, alcohol wasn't just about getting drunk, like caffeine, it was something their bodies used in a different way to humans. Caffeine kept their blood and body temperatures higher, which was essential now she was pregnant. In a normal pregnancy caffeine was bad, in Elena's case it was a necessity, therefore they weren't sure whether the same applied to alcohol. As they hadn't gone over this with Meredith, Damon and Elena decided in the meantime, she wouldn't consume alcohol directly. What they did decide was Elena would try feeding from people who had just a moderate amount of alcohol in their systems to see how she felt. This made Damon Elena's taste tester. He had to find out whether the victim was sober enough, and drug free, for Elena to feed from.
Tonight's plan of attack was for them to dance and their potential victims. Damon would try them, and if they were drug free and weren't too drunk, they would take them into the one of the back rooms and feed. Damon had already done a recon on the place and had compelled the owner of the club to allow them to use one of the offices with the cameras switched off.
Damon pulled Elena in tight and nibbled on her ear. "You look ravishing tonight." he whispered.
"Make the most of it." Elena smiled. "I won't have this figure for much longer." she said sadly looking down at her still flat stomach. "I'll look like a whale." she said feeling depressed.
Damon pulled Elena up close and wrapped his arms around her waist. "The thought of you being pregnant with my child is the biggest turn on ever." he told her proudly. "I can't wait until you start getting bigger." he grinned as Elena frowned at him.
"Seriously?" she asked as Damon nodded.
"I keep trying to imagine it, and every time I do, I get a hard on, so it's probably best I don't think about it right now." he said. "Makes me feel extra protective over you." he added as he kissed her.
"Caveman." Elena raised an eyebrow.
"Guilty." Damon shrugged and laughed, before gulping down the remaining liquid in his glass. "On the other hand, this means I have to make sure you and our baby are safe and well fed. So now I am going to find you lunch." he kissed her once more before heading onto the dance floor
Bonnie made her way downstairs from her shower. Damon and Elena had already been gone for over an hour and Jeremy was sorting out dinner which had been prepared by Damon, who according to Elena was an excellent cook. When she reached the kitchen Bonnie had a shock. On the table was a magnum of champagne in the middle and a huge bouquet of red roses.
"Oh...are Damon and Elena back?" Bonnie asked frowning, not sure how to react to such an opulent display.
"Um..., no, these are for you." Jeremy said nervously, handing her the flowers, which Bonnie sniffed at the beautiful scent. "If you'd like to sit down." Jeremy instructed as he pulled her chair out, which she sat down on before he ran back to the kitchen.
Earlier in the day, Elena had spoken with Bonnie about her and Jeremy's relationship. Elena had told her she was happy Bonnie and Jeremy were getting closer again and hoped it would lead to more. Bonnie and Jeremy had definitely gotten closer over the past couple of months since Elena turned. In fact in some ways there were closer than when they were an official couple.
Elena hadn't come outright and said it, but Bonnie knew Elena was giving her blessing if she and Jeremy took the final leap. The problem was, Bonnie just wasn't sure whether she was ready to take that next step with Jeremy, the mere thought of it made her nervous. Bonnie knew she was being silly when it came to being scared around Jeremy. At least she wouldn't have the issue of a guy fumbling around on his first time like Elena did with Matt, or overly experienced like Caroline did with the college guy she'd been dating at the time. With Jeremy, she knew he'd do everything he could to treat her right and be gentle.
The truth was, Bonnie was just apprehensive of baring herself up to another person like that. If it were up to Bonnie, she'd wait until she knew it was that special someone, the one person who she saw herself spending the rest of her life with. Bonnie didn't have to like Damon, but it was as clear as day, he and Elena were soulmates. A couple of weeks earlier, before they found out about Elena's pregnancy, Bonnie had caught them alone together on the couch in the parlor of the boarding house. They were deep in conversation about their future and life in general. The Damon Salvatore, Bonnie saw in that moment was a completely different person. Gone was the sarcastic, snarky vampire, he'd been replaced by a sweet, gentle and frankly extremely hot guy. They were just a normal couple in love talking like couples do. They were like two magnets and Elena was also different with Damon. She was more like the girl she was before her parents died. To Bonnie, this was what true love was about, and no matter how much she cared about Jeremy, deep down she knew he wasn't the one. This begged the question, did she wait for her soulmate, or see if she and Jeremy could make a go of things until they inevitably outgrew each other.
Jeremy and Bonnie's conversation throughout dinner was nervous chitchat. They'd discussed the prophesy, Silas, the baby and even TV. By this point they'd both had a couple of glasses of champagne and were slightly tipsy. As a result, Bonnie decided what the hell, as much as she'd want it to be with her own Damon-like soulmate, it might be years before they met. And clearly a good sex life was great for the soul. Just because she and Jeremy probably wouldn't last, didn't mean he wasn't the right one to lose her virginity to. So when Jeremy asked her to dance, Bonnie didn't hesitate. It was time to become a woman.
Elena sipped on her mineral water while she watched on as Damon made his way to the dance floor, his hips moving to the music as he quickly found a willing dance partner. She was young, pretty, with blonde hair and blue eyes. The girl looked at Damon as if he were the sexiest being on the planet, which in Elena's eyes he was. For his part, Damon gave the girl one of his sexy smiles, the one Elena knew was specifically there to lure his prey.
As Damon and the girl began to dance closer, Elena started to get agitated. She didn't like what she was seeing. The girl was touching his chest, and Damon was making no move to stop her. Damon stroked the girl on the cheek and spoke to her, which Elena knew meant he was compelling her, before his head made for her neck. As soon as he did, Elena felt like she'd been staked in the heart, only except it was a metaphorical stake, not a physical one. Damon lifted his head from the girl's neck and they left the dance floor, he signaled to Elena to follow them to the room he had set out for her to feed.
As soon as they reached the room the girl stood still, as Elena angrily pounced on her. Right then, she was feeling murderous. The girl had no right to flirt with Damon, and if Damon thought he was off the hook, he seriously needed to reconsider his feeding methods. The more Elena thought about it, the angrier she got and the harder she grabbed onto the girl's neck and fed, taking more and more of her blood.
"Elena. I think you need to stop." Damon said, however Elena just ignored him. She didn't care if the girl died or not, at least if she were dead she wouldn't be able to look at Damon again. "Elena." Damon called out her name again with a worried sounding voice, tapping her on the shoulder to get her attention, however she still acted like he wasn't there. Eventually Damon pulled her off the girl and Elena turned around, hissing at him as the girl dropped to the floor. Suddenly there was a blast from Elena and the girl shot across the room.
"Don't!" Elena scowled, at Damon, her fangs out and eyes red.
Damon looked back at her confused and almost scared of her strange behavior. "What the hell is going on Elena?" he cried, fear in his eyes as it dawned on him Elena had just performed some kind of magic. His eyes flew to Elena's stomach, as he realized this was related to the baby. His gut instinct was to suspect Elena might be jealous, as this had happened before during one of their feeds, although not to this extent. Damon pulled her into him and rested his hand on her stomach and kissed her. "I love you." he whispered. "Both of you." he smiled as Elena's features returned to normal, finally to be replaced by a look of horror on her face.
"Oh my god. What have I done?" she asked as she broke down in tears. "Is she..." Elena started, not able to look at the lifeless body of the girl across the room.
Damon let go of Elena and walked across to the girl who was still breathing, but barely. He bit his wrist and fed the girl some blood. After a minute she sat up and rubbed her head.
"I'm so sorry." Elena apologized. "I don't know what came over me." she said.
"Who are you?" the girl asked. "And why am I here?"
Damon looked into the girl's eyes. "Forget this ever happened. You went to the bathroom but opened the wrong door." he compelled her. "You found two people making out, closed the door and left." he said.
"I opened the wrong door to the bathroom, found two people making out and then I left." the girl said blankly as Damon helped her to her feet.
"Good, now leave." he told her as the girl left the room none the wiser. Once she'd left, Damon turned to Elena. "What the hell was that?" he asked angrily.
"I don't know." Elena shook her head. "One minute I was at the bar, watching you find someone for me to feed from, then I saw she was pretty and she started to touch you. I felt a little jealous." she admitted.
"A little jealous?" Damon asked confused. "She was dinner, your dinner. Why would you be jealous of your own dinner?" he shook his head.
"It was the way you looked at her." Elena said sheepishly. "You were flirting with her."
"But that's what we normally do." Damon argued. "What was different?" he frowned, realizing Elena was just as stunned by her own behavior as he was. To prove he wasn't genuinely angry with her, he held her close to him.
Elena leaned her head against Damon's chest. "I just saw red." she explained. "At first I felt a little threatened by the girl and possessive towards you. Then a sudden wave of anger hit me. I needed to make sure she didn't hurt you or take you away from me." she frowned. "It wasn't normal Damon. I wanted to kill her." she said.
"That's not good." Damon said wearily. "Do you think it's the hormones?" he asked as Elena shrugged.
"Yes and no." she replied. "There was more to it than that. It felt like she was a threat, and I was protecting us." she sighed. "I did magic." her voice lowered.
"The baby did magic." Damon corrected her. "Maybe the baby felt threatened and was able to project magic through you?" he suggested.
"I hope not." Elena sat down, suddenly feeling exhausted. "Because, if every time I feel threatened, and the baby feels it, things could get a little messy." she said.
"Well in this case, I could calm the baby down." Damon told her. "She just needed reassurance from her daddy that everything was going to be fine and that I love you both." he smiled.
"She?" Elena narrowed her eyes. "You think the baby is a girl?" she asked as Damon nodded. "What makes you think that?" Elena asked.
"Call it gut instinct." Damon smirked.
"Do you think we should call Bonnie?" Elena asked.
"Probably not a good idea." Damon frowned. "If everything is going to plan, right now, Sabrina and Little Gilbert should be... otherwise occupied." he grimaced.
"Oh right." Elena sighed.
"Are you okay, you look a little pale." Damon asked, his voice filled with worry as he noticed Elena's color wash away.
"I'm still hungry." she admitted. "I think the power burst took away a lot of my energy." she explained.
"You still need to feed." Damon sighed. "How about you stay here, and I go out shopping and bring you back lunch?" he joked. "Don't watch, just stay here and I'll bring the food. You just need to feed. Don't worry, I'll compel them and we'll see how you feel then." Elena nodded in agreement at his suggestion. "That way you won't get jealous of me testing dinner for drugs."
"It's probably for the best." Elena agreed.
"And when you are feeling a little better, maybe we can put some of that extra energy to good use." he smirked. "We've got this room to ourselves for the next couple of hours. I could even ask them to turn the camera's on and ask for the video footage afterwards." he winked.
Elena sighed. "Fine." she agreed rolling her eyes. "Go get me someone to feed from." she said as Damon gave her one last kiss and left her to go hunting.
As Elena waited patiently, she thought back to what had just taken place. It had been hard to explain, but Elena knew the baby had been able to feel the threat towards her and Damon, even if it was unfounded. It had been as if the baby had seen it through her own eyes and taken over her senses. Elena knew this was impossible as a fetus wouldn't understand these emotions, let alone get murderous. However the baby did seem to heighten her emotions and allow Elena to act on them with magic. The problem was, using magic to fight, had drained her. She needed more blood, therefore she needed to find a way to reel in the powers. But for the time being, Elena also needed to know how the powers would affect her, and as she had a practically unlimited food source right now, Elena figured, tonight would be a good time to practice, starting with her next meal.
Bonnie rested her head on Jeremy's chest. She had decided it was time to shed the old Bonnie, take the plunge and become a woman. And now she had, she had no idea what the fuss was all about. It didn't hurt like she'd expected, but apparently the first time being painful was less common in modern women. Jeremy had been sweet, loving and gentle, but he hadn't rocked her world. The problem was, she had nobody to talk to about it. Elena, in all likelihood wouldn't want to discuss the exact details as it involved her brother, Caroline was over a hundred miles away and there was no way in hell was she going to talk it over with Damon. However, Bonnie wanted to know how to make it better, because unless she was planning on getting pregnant, it didn't seem worth the hassle.
"You okay?" Jeremy asked as Bonnie's phone rang on the nightstand next to her. She picked it up and saw the caller ID was Caroline.
"I better get this." Bonnie said sitting up as Jeremy got out of bed.
"I'll go watch some TV or something." Jeremy nodded taking a hint, as he put his clothes on while Bonnie answered the phone.
"Caroline?" Bonnie asked, relieved to have someone to talk to about her and Jeremy.
"Bonnie, I'm sorry for calling, I couldn't get hold of Damon or Elena." Caroline apologized. "Otherwise I would have left you and Jeremy alone to... well you know" she said knowingly.
"Um...how did you know about me and Jeremy?" Bonnie asked.
"Matt told me." Caroline replied. "Apparently Damon and Jeremy had a man to man conversation earlier." she told Bonnie.
"Oh he did, did he?" Bonnie sighed. "So does everyone in Mystic Falls know about mine and Jeremy's evening?" she asked.
"Just me and Matt." Caroline explained. "Matt assumed you would have told me about it after Jeremy told him what he was planning." she said. "But although I want you to tell me all about it, that's not why I called." she admitted.
"Fine, we'll do the important serious stuff first before we tackle my sex life." Bonnie sighed, shaking her head.
"Earlier, a woman came looking for Elena." Caroline told her. "Matt and I told her she'd gone to move back to Seattle with her dad, Mikael." she explained. "We also called her Katherine to make sure the woman had no idea we knew she was fake. But the picture had you, Jeremy, Damon and Elena in it. She gave herself away when we used the name Katherine."
"Did you get her hair." Bonnie asked.
"Yes!" Caroline replied, sounding very pleased with herself. "It took a team effort with Matt involving distraction, but we got quite a bit. It's in the locket and I didn't touch it." she said proudly. "What do you want me to do with it?" she asked.
"I need to wait until Damon comes back." Bonnie told her. "He's not letting me give out the address to this place, but I want you ready to be able to drive up here with it as soon as he tells you." she said.
"That's fine." Caroline said before completely changing the subject. "Did you know Matt has decided to go on an all expenses paid, round the world trip with Rebekah?" she snapped. "I mean, seriously."
"He's doing what?" Bonnie asked, shocked at their friend's behavior. "Has she compelled him?" she asked.
"He's on vervain." Caroline told her. "He said he couldn't turn down the offer of the trip of a lifetime with a hot girl and no strings attached sex." she said. "I did warn him about what Rebekah did to Damon, but Matt said she knew the score and still wanted to do it."
"I just don't get what the fuss is about." Bonnie sighed.
"I take it we're no longer talking about Matt are we." Caroline said tentatively. "I'm guessing Jeremy didn't exactly rock your world."
"It was nice." Bonnie said hopefully.
"If Jeremy had rocked your world, you wouldn't have called it 'nice'." Caroline told her. "You'd have a huge grin on your face, similar to the one Elena permanently walks around with. Ugh!" she groaned.
"Oh come on, you never complained about Damon in that department." Bonnie challenged her.
"The only compliment I can give Damon Salvatore is he knows what he's doing with his tongue." Caroline told her.
"His tongue?" Bonnie asked confused.
"Did Jeremy not use his...you know what, never mind. We'll have this conversation when I get there." Caroline backtracked. "It was your first time and he probably didn't want to overwhelm you. My advice is go for round two, it might be better when you're both a little more comfortable with each other." she suggested.
"Maybe." Bonnie sighed, not sure if it was worth the effort or not, but Caroline could be right, Jeremy might have been holding back, so that he didn't scare her.
"Why don't you initiate it." Caroline offered. "If you do he might be a little less gentle." she said.
"Is that good?" Bonnie asked.
"Put on some sexy lingerie, go find him and find out." Caroline advised her laughing. "But I want the deets tomorrow when I come over." she said.
"Okay." Bonnie laughed. "I'll talk to you tomorrow." she said as they hung up. Bonnie took a deep breath and headed towards her dresser to take Caroline's advice and find the sexiest underwear she could in the hope it would go better the second time around.
Damon returned to the small office once more with another girl for Elena to feed from. She was the third one since the incident with the girl she'd nearly killed. As a result of Elena's actions, Damon had gone out of his way to pick the plainest girls he could find. Nobody too ugly as they would find it suspicious as to why such a hot guy as him were hitting on them, so he'd opted for the safer middle of the road variety.
Every time Damon came back with a girl, Elena fed and tried to do the same to the girl as she had attacked. However none of the times worked. Elena figured it was because she wasn't feeling threatened, and the baby could only heighten real emotions. Therefore she had decided a on different test this time. One where her real feelings could be used to see how she was affected with more blood in her system. The problem was, she was going to have to test the magic out on Damon, something which concerned her as she didn't want to hurt him.
Once Elena had fed and Damon had compelled the girl to leave, she turned to face him. She was feeling much stronger than she had since the frat party which she and Damon had attended, in what seemed like an entire lifetime ago. As she looked at Damon, she saw a small drop of blood on the corner of his mouth from where he's tested the girl for drugs. The thought of Damon being protective over her and the baby made her feel awash with love. And the sight of Damon with the small amount of blood, turned her on. In that moment, Elena needed Damon, with every fiber of her being. Damon smirked at her, knowing what was on her mind, although he probably wasn't prepared for what was about to happen.
In her mind Elena thought to her self "I love him, I need him, bring him to me." As she did, a sense of warmth and love emanated throughout her body, and suddenly Damon was right next to her, his face completely stunned.
"What happened?" Damon asked with trepidation in his eyes.
"I decided I wanted you." Elena smiled. "And I got you."
Damon frowned. "And how does that make you feel?" he asked. "Tired?"
"Euphoric!" Elena grinned as she kissed him. "Even more powerful." she added.
"So negative protective magic wears you out, but positive magic seems to give you more power." Damon raised an eyebrow. "Interesting. This is something we are definitely going to have to run past Bonnie." he added thoughtfully.
"Um Damon." Elena interrupted him. "I want to put this power to good use." she said suggestively.
Damon narrowed his eyes and licked his lips, while examining Elena before taking hold of her hips and pulling them flush to his, while resting his forehead against hers.
"And how do you suggest we do that?" Damon whispered seductively.
"Make sure I don't feel jealous again." she smirked.
"Now that's the best offer I've had all day." Damon replied as he pressed his lips against hers and they started to kiss.
