Star Twins

by FallenAnqel13

Leslie and her twin sister Elena are Star Children. They aren't human, or are they? What will happen when Leslie catches Damon's interest? Has Damon finally found his match? And if he has, what if she can't love him back? What if she believes that love makes you weak? Not your typical Damon/OC story. She has a secret, a BIG one. What is it? Read & find out!

33. New Moon

Lately I've been having a lot of homework and I can't update as quickly as I should. So, please bear with me. I just want to say thanks to everyone who has stayed loyally by my side and has followed my story. Now, please sit back and enjoy Chapter 33. :)

P.S. I decided to use New Moon as the movie Leslie and Sedrick watch because when this episode came out, it is KINDA close to when the movie came out in theaters. Also in my story Leslie has never read the books or seen the first movie. Anyway, I am in no way bashing Twilight or any of the other books. I'm actually a Twilight fan myself, but I just think that this should be LESLIE'S reaction to it.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Vampire Diaries. I only wish I did.

Chapter 33

(Leslie's POV)

I saw Bonnie instantly tilt her head to look at me and say seriously.

"Leslie, don't get offended, but your dad kinda scares me."

I merely smirked and replied.

"I'd be more offended if you said he was a cool guy."

I then narrowed my eyes and replied seriously.

"Believe me, my dad isn't someone to be triffled with. He's dangerous and when I say dangerous; I mean in every way. I've never met anyone as calculating and determined as him. When you think you have him all figured out, he's already on something new. Plan A goes wrong, he already has plans B through Z written down. He's manipulative and will do anything in order to get what he wants. I'm a little kid compared to him. Although, the majority of my tricks; I have him to thank for."

I then turned to look at her and realized she had a slightly scared look on her face. I merely smiled and said.

"I'm not trying to scare you, Bonnie. I'm only trying to be honest with you. You're my friend. Therefore, you have the right to know how my family really is. You don't have to worry about anything though. My dad is really cool with all my friends. He's only like that to people that piss him off."

Then I rolled my eyes and said with a small laugh.

"Also, that he looks like my brother, rather than my dad helps him blend in quite well. Do you have any idea how many of my friends have tried to hit on him? My dad is really old school, so he politely turns them down. When some people just don't take a hint, he lets me handle them and that's when the fun begins. I love watching the look on their face when I tell them to piss off and leave him alone. I also love the look they give me when I swing at them and sock them right in the mouth. Absolutely priceless."

She then gave me a small smile and said.

"So, you beat people up for hitting on your dad?"

"Nah, only the crazy ones. Believe it or not, but most people take my death threats seriously. They know better than to test me."

She then laughed lightly and replied.

"Believe me, if you threatened my life; I would stay away too. I've seen what you can do, and don't be offended, but you're scary when you're mad."

"No offense taken, I actually take that as a compliment because I know it's true. When I'm pissed off I tend to lose control. That's why Elena always gets in it and holds me back."

She then nodded understandingly and said casually.

"So, about your dad, you think he's planning something?"

I nodded slowly and replied.

"I'm sure of it, but the thing is that lately he's been much more careful. I should've known what he's planning by now, but for some reason he's blocking me. He leaves constantly and then suddenly appears when you least expect it. The only one that may know something is my mother, but she will never talk. She's really loyal to him and loves him so much that she would never betray his trust. Whatever he's planning must be something very big because not even my cousin Danny knows, and my dad usually tells him everything. So, I guess the only thing left to do is keep my eye on him and watch out for any suspicious behavior."

Then I smiled at her and said.

"Enough about my whacko dad. Tell me, what are you going to do about the necklace and Emily?"

Suddenly, the car jerked to an abrupt stop and I saw Bonnie step out of the car and walk around the front of the hood. I lowered the window and said.

"Bonnie, what are you doing? You're not seriously going to..."

I didn't even get to finish when she instantly pulled the necklace off her neck and threw it into a tall, grassy field. She then walked back to the car and got in. I stared at her curiously and asked.

"And I thought I had problems. It's that bad, huh?"

Bonnie took a deep calm breath and replied sternly.

"All of my problems were because of that thing! I can't believe I didn't do that sooner!"

I merely tilted my head to the side and asked her.

"Have you taken into consideration what your Grams is going to say about this?"

Bonnie turned to look at me and replied casually.

"She's not the one being haunted now, is she?"

I shrugged and replied casually.

"Good point, but don't forget what I told you. Sooner or later it's gonna come back to you. If I were you, I'd just deal with it now. You can't run away from who you truly are. Trust me, been there, done that, wish I had just listened."

Bonnie then nodded her head understandingly and turned on the car. She made a U-turn and quickly drove back into town. It was silent for a couple of seconds then she looked over at me and said hesitantly.

"Hey Leslie, have you ever been in... a fire?"

I blinked at her in complete shock and said.

"What?"

She clenched the steering wheel tightly and said carefully.

"Have you ever been inside a burning house, or been in an amusement park that used real fire?"

I stared at her curiously and said.

"Why are you asking me that?"

She frowned and replied seriously.

"When I touched you; I had a vision. There was fire everywhere, and you were in so much pain. You were crying and there was no one there to help you. I don't know if it's already happened, or if it's going to, but I'm really scared for you. I don't want anything to happen to you. I'm telling you this because I know you can take it. Elena is much more sensitive than you, and I don't want to scare her. I'm telling you this because I want you to be careful, just in case."

I had my hands curled into tight fists and my jaw clenched tight. I stared directly out the front windshield and didn't reply. Suddenly, I heard her gasp in complete shock and I instantly turned to look at her. She had a look of complete sadness and compassion on her face. She stared at me sadly and I could practically see the lump in her throat. Her eyes seemed to have moisture in them and she was biting her bottom lip trying to hold back her tears. She then cleared her throat and said in the most heart-breaking voice.

"You were just a little girl, Leslie."

I turned abruptly away from her and looked out the window. I refused to get emotional over what happened to me. The past was the past and there was nothing I could do about it. So, I unclenched my hands and smoothed them out on my jeans. I stared straight ahead and replied in a cold tone.

"I was ten and there was an electrical outage. A lamp exploded and fell on the rug. The fire spread rapidly and I had no idea on how to save myself. I passed out and when I awoke; I was in the hospital with my dad."

That was my story and I was sticking to it. I could never tell her the truth, so she would just have to settle for that. She then looked at me sadly and asked hopefully.

"So, someone saved you right? If they hadn't, then you wouldn't be here right now."

I slowly nodded my head and said.

"Yeah, I guess so. Like I said; I passed out. So, I really don't know what happened."

She then stared at me and said sincerely.

"I am so sorry, Leslie. That must've been horrible for you. You know that if you ever need someone to..."

"I have your number on speed dial, Bonnie. Thanks."

She smiled brilliantly and replied.

"You know it and don't thank me. I'm your friend."

I smiled back at her and then I instantly heard my phone ring. I pulled it out and stared at the screen.

Sedrick.

I instantly pressed talk and said.

"Danny took me to school, Sedrick. My bad, I guess I should've called you."

I heard him sigh and simply reply.

"I am aware of that, Leslie. He called me and told me what happened. I was simply calling to ask if the afternoon plans were cancelled as well."

I raised my eyebrows and immediately said.

"Oh, no way in hell! I deserve some chillaxing time. I'm still down, but if you have other things to..."

"Of course not, my main priority is to see that you're happy and safe. What time should I pick you up?"

I stared at the time in Bonnie's car and then answered.

"How about we just meet there right now?"

"Do you have a way to get there, or should I pick you up from somewhere?"

I instantly looked over at Bonnie and said.

"Hey Bonnie, can you drop me off at the movies?"

She instantly raised her eyebrows and a mischevious smile instantly grazed her lips. She nodded and then said.

"Yeah, but I want details."

I simply rolled my eyes and said.

"Sure, sure, whatever."

With that, I answered Sedrick and said.

"Yeah, my friend is going to drop me off right now."

"Very well then. I'll be waiting."

I rolled my eyes and said.

"You're already there, aren't you?"

"It's not very polite to keep a princess waiting."

I groaned and said.

"Sedrick do me a huge favor and don't call me that... ever. It gets on my freaking nerves."

Then I heard Bonnie say.

"Ooohhh, his name's Sedrick. That sounds H-O-T."

I instantly smiled and said.

"He can hear you, you know."

She shrugged casually as if she didn't even care. Knowing Bonnie, she probably didn't. I simply laughed at her and then said.

"Alright, I'll see you in a few, Sedrick."

"See you soon, Leslie."

With that, I hung up and then folded my arms across my chest. I stared directly ahead and said.

"He's just my friend, Bonnie. It's not even like that."

Bonnie merely smiled and said.

"If you say so."

"I do, and when you see him don't even start."

"And why would I start? Is he really cute?"

I groaned and said.

"Bonnie, seriously don't."

She then laughed and said.

"Alright, I'll back off."

She then drove quickly through town and instantly pulled up to the movie theater. As soon as we arrived, I could see a cluster of girls surrounding someone. I sighed deeply and said sarcastically.

"This is going to be one hell of a fun day."

Bonnie looked out my passenger window, and then her eyes went wide. She then looked at me in disbelief and said.

"There is no way in hell that guy is just your friend."

I turned to look out the window to stare at Sedrick. He was wearing dark blue jeans, with a tight, stormy gray shirt. He had on black shoes and his short brown bangs hung lightly against his forehead. He had a look of boredom on his face and was simply giving the girls very vague answers. I heard one of them say.

"So, where are you from? I've never seen you around here before."

Sedrick simply sighed and replied in a bored tone.

"I barely moved here from Italy."

I then saw a small brunnette ask excitedely.

"You're Italian?"

"No."

"So, where are you from?"

"Around."

That was one of reasons I trusted Sedrick so much. He was very secretive and mysterious. Many girls would interpret it as him simply being a jerk and cocky, but I knew better. Sedrick was simply very loyal to me. If he saw something I did, he would never snitch on me. He would always be by my side whenever I called him and he never questioned anything I said.

I smiled then looked up at him and I saw him pass his hand roughly through his hair. All the girls nearly swooned off their feet. I then heard Bonnie say with a smile.

"If I were you, I'd hurry up and go because it looks like you have some competition."

I merely smirked and replied.

"I don't think so. Come with me, so I can introduce you guys."

I easily got out of the car and waited for her to come out. She quickly came to my side and we walked together towards him. As we approached him, I simply heard him breath evenly and then say in a very polite and seductive voice.

"Ladies, it's been a pleasure and great honor speaking with all of you, but I am expecting to meet someone here. Therefore, I must leave. Good day to all of you."

With that, he quickly walked towards us and instantly grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips. He smiled at me and then said with a small smile.

"Leslie, perfect timing. I do not believe I could endure any more of their constant questions. Are all Mystic Falls women like this?"

I merely smiled at him and pulled my hand away. I then turned towards Bonnie and I instantly noticed how her face was slightly flushed and her hands were interlocked. I merely smiled at her then said.

"Bonnie, I'd like you to meet my most trusted and honest friend, Sedrick."

I then turned to him and said.

"Sedrick, this is my newest most straight up friend, Bonnie."

Sedrick then took her hand gently and placed a small kiss to it as well. She instantly pulled her hand back and blushed furiously. I wanted to laugh so badly, but I held it in. Sedrick then gave her a charming smile and said.

"The pleasure is all mine, Miss Bonnie. Will you be joining us this fine evening?"

Bonnie slightly averted her gaze away from him and said.

"Um... no, I only came to drop off Leslie. I have somewhere I need to be right now."

Sedrick simply nodded his head slightly and replied.

"Of course, it was a pleasure meeting you. I hope to see you soon."

Bonnie gave him a small nod in return and then looked at me and said.

"Bye, Leslie. I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

I simply nodded at her and said with a smile.

"Alright, be careful."

She nodded then quickly made her way back to her car. She got in swiftly then drove quickly down the road. I turned to Sedrick and raised my eyebrows at him. He was staring towards Bonnie's retreating car completely ignoring me. I immediately smiled brightly and elbowed him on the arm. He quickly looked back at me and said.

"Yes, Leslie?"

I merely smirked at him and said amused.

"So, what was that about?"

He merely smiled slightly and replied.

"Miss Bennet is a very interesting creature. She is nothing like the rest of the females I have encountered."

I smiled happily at him and said.

"Yeah, Bonnie is pretty awesome. She's a really cool friend. Hey, how do you know her last name?"

He merely smiled then turned to me and said.

"She raidiates power that only a Bennet witch could posses. Anyway, what would you like to see today?"

I merely shrugged and said.

"I don't know. Let's go see what's on."

He nodded immediately and motioned for me to lead the way. I walked past him and towards where the movie advertisements were. I stared at them and saw that one of them had two guys and girl with them. One of the guys had brown hair and really pale skin. He kinda reminded me of my big bro. While the other guy was standing closer to the girl and had dark black hair and brown-toned skin. The look they had seemed like they wanted to rip each other's throats out. It was pretty obvious that this was some sort of love triangle thing.

I placed my hands on my hips and tilted my head to the side, staring intently at the poster. Based on the look the guys had, my best bet was that these guys were going to end up killing each other over the girl. I wasn't really in the comedy and freaky, blue wannabee alien mood. So, I decided to go with this movie instead. It had a kinda dark Gothic look, so I thought it might be okay.

Then I suddenly saw a girl coming out of the theater, wearing a black shirt with the same design as the poster. I instantly called to her and said.

"Hey, girl!"

She stopped mid-stride and replied.

"Yeah?"

I turned towards her and pointed my thumb towards the poster and asked.

"Is this movie any good?"

A huge smile instantly spread across her face and she replied excitedely.

"Of course! It is like the best movie yet!"

I simply nodded and said.

"Thanks for the tip."

She nodded and replied back.

"Trust me, you won't regret it."

I simply smiled at her then turned to Sedrick and said.

"Okay, well this one looks like something dark that might have some death, so lets watch it."

Sedrick tilted his head towards the poster then simply sighed and nodded. We went to the ticket booth and bought our tickets. As soon as we were inside, I instantly went to the concession stand and got myself some apple juice and nachos. Sedrick simply bought a bottle of water and decided to try the, "rectangular, sweet brown stuff" for the first time. AKA... chocolate. I simply laughed at him and took a small drink of my juice. We went straight towards the room for the movie and sat at the top near the back.

We went through all the previews and endured the dumb, famous movie questions. Then the usual, "please turn your cellphones off" crap came on and the screen went black. I truly hoped this movie was worth it. If not, I was going to be super pissed off.

TWO HOURS LATER

"That was the most pathetic movie I have seen in all my life! What the fuck was that chicken shit? Oh, you left me, so now I'm gonna go be a dumbass and kill myself! What the hell was that? I should totally go and kick these dumbshits in the mouth for making vampires look so weak!"

Sedrick was simply chuckling, not even saying anything. I didn't quite see what was so funny, but I was glad that he was actually having fun and enjoying himself. I simply let him have his laugh and I stomped angrily out the front doors. I then glared angrily towards the street and waited for him. Once Sedrick was with me, I turned to him and said.

"Don't even lie, Sedrick. I know you just wanted to go to the booth and rip that piece of crap movie to shreds."

Sedrick simply smiled at me and replied.

"I was very well tempted, but I restrained myself."

"Like for reals. That girl that told me it was a good movie must've been on crack or something. How the hell is that a good movie? Oh, you're not good enough for me, so bye. Dumbshit leaves her for months and then the other moron leaves her to go be a giant dog. What kinda dumb chicken shit is that? Oh, and lets not forget. Even though you weren't good enough for me; I can't live without you. So, I'm gonna go ask these nocturnal wannabees to kill me. Oh, but since these idiots won't kill me; I have to expose myself and my entire species to the town."

Then I kicked an empty soda can and said totally annoyed.

"Oh, and I forgot the best part. Oh Edward, even though you left me to drown in my own misery and to deal with a psychotic vengenful red-head; I still love you. It's all right, if I suffered all those months. It's okay if I lost nearly all my friends, and I was nearly sent back home because I was so fucked up. It's all right, if I nearly lost my sanity and got myself killed. Don't worry about any of that; I'm okay now. Just don't kill yourself, and please come back to me. What the fuck is wrong with that idiot? Girls like her give the rest of us a bad name. Ha, if that were me; I would've said, "screw you, I'm too good for you anyways," and moved on with my life."

At that, I saw Sedrick just bust out laughing. He was clearly enjoying hearing me rant on how pathetic that dumbshit was. Seriously, what type of message were these stupid movie makers sending? It's okay to throw your life away when I guy leaves you? It's all right to worry your parents and everyone that cares about you? It's all right to be selfish and think of only your pain. Pretty weak, and that whole because "it's what's best for you" was simply a load of crap.

If he truly cared about her, he would've been a man and worked it out with her. He ran away from his problems and look how that turned out. She was nearly killed like three times. When someone truly cares for someone else; they stay by their side and try to solve it. If he had just apologized to her and made his brother, or whoever that guy was, apologize. Then none of that shit would've happened. He would've had more time to convince her not to turn into a vampire, if that's what he was so worried about. Now because he was a moron; she no longer had a choice or a lot of time. It was either turning or death. What a fucked up way to live.

I merely shook my head, quickly dispelling all of my thoughts. Stupid movie wasn't even worth my time, or questioning. I merely turned to Sedrick and said.

"Well there's two hours of my life that I'll never get back. Next time, lets just go to the park or something. Movies of today, simply suck."

Sedrick merely chuckled lightly and replied.

"Of course, whatever you want."

I nodded then made my way towards his large, black truck. I went to the passenger's side and was about to open the door. When suddenly, he was right beside me in flash; opening the door for me. Always the gentleman. I sighed then quickly got in and waited for him to get on. He asked me where I wanted to go and I immediately said, "The Grill." I was in desperate need of a drink.

Had Damon and Stefan seen that junk? Stefan would probably be brooding and correcting everything. While, Damon would probably be annoyed and talking shit about it. I wouldn't blame them for their reactions, though. If I were a vampire, I'd be pretty annoyed at a dumb movie like that.

We quickly arrived due to Sedrick's insane driving. There really wasn't anyone I knew that could drive as fast as that and not get caught. Sedrick was instantly at my door opening it for me. I merely sighed and walked towards the door with him close beside me. As soon as I walked in, I noticed Damon and Stefan by the bar. I simply smiled towards Sedrick and said.

"Come on, I need a drink."

He slightly nodded his head, but didn't reply. He was staring directly towards the two vampires with a cold, hard glare. I simply sighed and said.

"It's cool, Sedrick. Don't start anything, I'm already annoyed as it is."

He gave me a slight nod and replied seriously.

"As you wish."

And now, fun Sedrick was gone, and serious, protective Sedrick was back in business. I sighed sadly and walked towards the bar casually. I could feel Sedrick's gaze boring into my back, but I ignored it. As soon as I reached one of the stools, I took a seat and was about to order when I heard Stefan say.

"You could always leave, find a new town to turn into your own personal gas and sip."

I simply smiled at that and listened carefully for Damon's response.

"I'll manage. You don't have to keep an eye on me."

I rolled my eyes at that, and then turned towards Sedrick who was staring intently at Damon. By the look he was giving him, I could tell Sedrick didn't like him. Then again... Sedrick didn't really like anybody, with the exception of me, of course. I then turned to listen to their conversation and I heard Stefan say.

"I'm not here to keep and eye on you."

Yeah, I highly doubted that. Stefan always worried too much. I saw Damon scoff and reply.

"So, why are you here?"

Stefan merely shrugged and replied.

"Why not?"

Good point. That's when I heard the front door open and my younger cousin practically yell.

"Leslie!"

I merely sighed then turned to give him a small smile. Jeremy instantly came towards me and I noticed that my Aunt Jenna was already sitting in a booth. I waved towards her and she immediately waved back. Once Jeremy came towards me, he stopped, and said.

"Hey, Leslie. Did you have fun with my uncle yesterday? Elena told me he took you out of town. What did you do?"

Oh, so that was my excuse for not coming home last night. My little sis was good. I merely shrugged and replied casually.

"It was alright. Nothing new, he just pissed me off and I told him off. Same as usual. What did he say about it?"

Jeremy merely shrugged and replied.

"He said that he would never take you anywhere without Elena being there. He claims that you are very stubborn and that you nearly drove him mad."

So, my dad was playing along with the lie as well? Hm, I wonder why that is. No doubt that he was going to bombard me with questions the next time he saw me. Oh well, at least my Aunt Jenna hadn't been worried about me. Then I saw Jeremy look towards Sedrick's direction. He merely looked at me and said with a smile.

"Hey, and who is this? Did you finally decide to have a boyfriend?"

I merely rolled my eyes at him and said.

"No, smart one. This is my most loyal friend, Sedrick. We've known each since I was ten."

Jeremy merely raised an eyebrow at me and said sarcastically.

"Riiiiight..."

He simply turned towards Sedrick then extended his hand towards him and said.

"I'm Jeremy, her younger cousin."

Sedrick stared at his hand for about three seconds before he took it and replied.

"Sedrick, I'm her... what you would call bodyguard, I suppose."

Jeremy instantly released him and said with wide eyes.

"Seriously?"

Sedrick simply leaned back against the bar table and replied casually.

"Yes, but I am only with her when she needs me. If I am not called, then I am not seen."

Jeremy just kept staring back and forth between us and then eventually said.

"Well, that's really cool. I didn't know my uncle gave you your own personal bodyguard, Leslie."

I merely shrugged and replied.

"Sedrick is more than just my bodyguard. He's also my most trusted and loyal friend."

Jeremy then gave me a slight nod and replied.

"Still, that's really cool."

He then turned towards Sedrick and said.

"You're really lucky, you know. It takes a lot for her to actually trust anyone. Being her friend doesn't precisely mean she has a lot of trust in you. You were able to get both, so nice job man."

Sedrick merely gave him a small nod in return and then turned to order something to drink. Once the bartender arrived, he turned to me and said.

"What would you like, Leslie?"

I merely gave him a side glance and replied.

"Just get me a Bourbon neat."

Sedrick instantly nodded and asked for my order. I then looked at Jeremy and said.

"So, how's school, cuz?"

He smiled and replied.

"I've been doing better and thanks to your help I'm doing great in Algebra."

I merely smiled and replied.

"Glad, I could help."

That's when Sedrick handed me my drink and said.

"You helped him with mathematics, Leslie?"

I merely shrugged and said casually.

"It was just some dumb radicals, nothing too big."

He nodded then took a sip of his drink and said.

"I pegged you more for a historian than a mathematician."

I merely smirked and replied.

"I am, math is simply the third thing I'm great at."

Jeremy simply leaned against the bar as well and said.

"The third thing? What are the top two?"

I simply smirked at him and replied.

"Kicking people's asses is number one, and history is number two."

At that, Sedrick gave a small smile while Jeremy out right laughed and replied.

"There's no questioning that."

I simply winked at him and replied.

"You got to live life cuz, if you don't then you'll end up like that Bella chick. Trust me, I'd rather dress like a pretty princess and dance in a field of daisies then end up like her. Pretty pathetic, if you ask me."

Sedrick chuckled lightly while Jeremy simply frowned and replied.

"Who's Bella?"

I merely smirked at him and replied.

"Trust me, you don't want to know. If you go to the movies don't watch the one with the two guys and the girl in it. It's just a waste of money and of two hours of your life that you will never get back."

Jeremy simply blinked and then said.

"You went to the movies? When?"

"Just now. Sedrick took me and I have to say that it's the last time we ever go."

Jeremy's eyes instantly flashed over to Sedrick. He instantly leaned more closely to my ear and whispered.

"Are you sure he's just your bodyguard? By the way he looks at you, I don't think that he sees you that way."

I then heard Sedrick laugh quietly and then turn for another drink. I agreed with him that was absolutely preposterous. Sedrick was like my best friend. He would never see me that way. I merely smiled and replied.

"He's supposed to look at me like that, Jere. His job is to always keep his eye on me and make sure I never leave his sight. He's supposed to make sure that nothing happens to me in his prescense."

Then I heard Sedrick add.

"And make sure you're happy, don't forget about that."

I merely rolled my eyes and replied.

"Yeah, that too."

Jeremy seemed deep in thought obviously trying to wrap his mind around my relationship with Sedrick. Then finally he sighed and said.

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense. A bodyguard's job is to always keep an eye on you and make sure you're safe."

I simply nodded and took a small drink from my glass. Then I heard my Aunt Jenna call out.

"Jeremy, come here."

He instantly turned around to stare at her then turned back to me and said apologetically.

"I have to go, cuz. It was nice seeing you."

He then looked over at Sedrick, who was calmly sipping his drink and staring at nothing in particular, and said.

"It was nice meeting you, Sedrick. Take good care of my cuz."

Sedrick merely nodded his head slightly and replied.

"It's the reason I live for."

Jeremy merely frowned slightly, but then quickly brushed it off and walked away. I merely turned to Sedrick and raised my eyebrows at him. He simply shrugged and replied.

"I only state the truth."

I simply smiled slightly then shook my head. I finished the rest of my drink calmly and said.

"You up for some pool? I need something to distract me."

Sedrick instantly nodded and replied.

"I'm up for whatever you please, Leslie."

I simply rolled my eyes and said.

"Okay, lets go."

As we were walking towards one of the pools, I noticed that Damon and Stefan's eyes were glued directly at us. I simply waved towards them and watched how Stefan simply smiled back at me. While, Damon seemed to have annoyed look, but managed to smirk back at me. I then moved towards the table with Sedrick right beside me. He instantly grabbed one of the pool sticks and threw it vertically in my direction. Anyone else would've thought I wouldn't be able to catch it. Or, that it would hit me straight in the head, but I simply raised my hand in the air and caught it easily. I looked up and realized that a lot of people were staring at us. I merely smirked at them and said.

"A picture would last longer people. I'll even autograph it for you, if you want."

I saw how they instantly turned around and continued on with their conversations. I merely smirked at them and then bent over the table slightly to make my shot. I looked up from the table and noticed that a lot of the guys were looking in my direction. Which, to my surprise, also included Damon and Stefan. I raised my eyebrows at them and Stefan immediately turned back towards the bar to order another drink. While Damon simply kept his eyes looking directly at me or rather my body. I simply sighed and straightened myself up.

It wasn't a very smart idea to play pool with the clothing I was wearing, or rather the shirt I was wearing. Since I had stayed over at the boarding house, I had only found one shirt there. I had on a black and red shirt that looked similar to a corset that adjusted tightly around my body. Not only that, but I was wearing some dark, blue skinny jeans and black high heeled boots to go along with it. I wasn't purposely trying to be provocative, but that was the only thing I could find at the boarding house. I definitely needed to move more of my clothes there just in case I spent another night.

I looked up and noticed that Sedrick's stance was completely tense and he didn't look happy. I then walked over slowly to him and said.

"Sedrick, come on let's go before you snap."

He instantly looked down at me and immediately nodded his head in agreement. I was about to walk away when I heard someone say in a mocking manner.

"Well, if it isn't the dick that so rudely interrupted me and my kitten last time we were here. So, you attacked me because you're her bodyguard? Let me tell you that you must not be that great, since I have had many opportunities to make her mine."

Sedrick instantly turned around and made his way towards Damon angrily. I immediately got infront of him and held my hands on his chest. I stared directly into his eyes that were slightly shifting from their natural brown to fiery violet, and said.

"Sedrick, no. Stop it, don't start anything. Damon's just trying to bait you. Don't fall for it. He's being a moron, just ignore him."

Sedrick simply sighed then glared at Damon and replied coldly.

"You are lucky that I have strict orders not to kill you, mongrel. If that weren't the case; I would've killed you the second you laid your filthy hands on her."

At that, I removed my hands from his chest and said.

"Wait, what? You have orders not to kill Damon?"

Sedrick nodded his head slowly and replied.

"I am not allowed to kill either of the Salvatores. Those are direct orders from your father, himself."

I blinked, clearly confused, and said.

"Why?"

I then heard Damon scoff and say.

"What a way to stand up for me, kitten. Instead of being relieved; you question it."

I turned to stare at him and replied.

"Shut up, Damon. This is serious."

I then frowned and began to pace quickly back and forth in front of the table. I narrowed my eyes at Sedrick and said.

"My dad, is acting completely out of character. He never gives orders to not kill someone. It's always the complete opposite. There's something wrong here, Sedrick."

I saw him instantly nod in agreement and then say.

"I was the most confused of us all, but I decided not to question him."

I merely stared at the table and said.

"Do you have any idea of what he's up to, Sedrick?"

I looked up at him, but he simply shook his head and replied.

"The day I became your protector is the day my loyalty no longer stood with him, but with you. He knows that because of this everything you ask of me, I must oblige to. Therefore, anything that he plans that concerns you is no longer said to me."

I frowned and then said.

"Of course, it makes sense. With you by my side, if anything goes wrong you will be strong enough to protect me. That's why he made sure you were the best and then finally made you my official protector."

Sedrick nodded his head slightly and then replied.

"I will look up any information, if that's what you wish."

I immediately shook my head and replied.

"No, this is between me and him. I'm going to find out what he's planning one way or another."

I then looked over towards Damon and realized that Stefan was now standing by his side. I sighed and merely said.

"Hey, big bro."

Stefan gave me a small smile and replied.

"Hello, Leslie."

I then leaned against the side of the table and said to Damon.

"So, did what I told you finally click in that little arrogant head of yours?"

Damon simply frowned and said.

"What do you mean?"

I merely rolled my eyes and replied.

"Never mind, I'll just do it myself. I don't need your help."

That's when realization crossed his face and then he replied.

"I talked to him today and he said that it was in everybody's best interest to just stay the hell out of his way."

I frowned and said.

"Is that all?"

"No."

I waited for him to continue, but he seemed reluctant to reply. I then snapped my fingers impatiently and said annoyed.

"Come on, Damon. I don't have all day. Spit it out already."

He leaned against the opposite wall from me and replied seriously.

"He told me to tell you to back off and that no matter what you do; what he has in mind is going to happen. He also said that you need to stop playing hero and get your head straight. If not, then he was going to bring someone that could straighten you out."

That sounded exactly like something my dad would say, when he was angry or annoyed. I then smirked and replied.

"He said that? Well, I can't wait to see who he's gonna bring that can settle me down. I'm not gonna back off until I find out what he's planning."

Damon then sighed and said.

"He said he was going to bring someone by the name of Elma, if you didn't back off."

I instantly felt the blood leave my face and I immediately felt Sedrick tense beside me. He wouldn't dare... Yeah, yeah, he would. If he said he would do something; he would do it. Fuck. There was no way in hell I had a chance against her.

Elma was my grandmother; she was my dad's mom. She was the most authoritive and stubborn person I knew. There was no one that could take her in an arguement. She was literally the only woman that could actually make me sit down with just a glance. She terrified me.

She wasn't mean in the least, but I had seen her angry and it was not a pleasant sight. She had my power, or rather, I had hers. She had control over electricity, but with her just one shock and you would be dead. She was also and excellent fighter, but she very rarely fought one-on-one.

She was a kind woman that cared deeply for Elena and I, but she still scared me. Not only that, but she was gorgeous for a woman that lived for more than a thousand years. She had long, straight, black hair that went past her waist and had beautiful pale skin. She had emerald cat-like eyes that would make anyone freeze with just one glance. She also had an excellent figure and showed it proudly. At just first glance, anyone would think she was in her early twenties just like my dad.

There was no way in hell I was going to mess with her. I instantly looked back at Damon and replied.

"I'm backing off."

Damon frowned and replied.

"What? You're gonna quit? Just like that? What happened to, "I'm gonna find out one way or another?"

I glared at him and said.

"I'm out, Damon. You'll be the biggest moron on this damn planet if you keep up your search. Elma, or rather my grandmother, is not someone that should be messed with. She'll kill you and have absolutely no regret about it. I'm not stupid, I actually have a sense of self-preservation when it comes to her. If I were you, I'd just do as he says. Don't be stupid Damon and just forget all about it. If he's actually considering bringing her in this then it would be very wise to just move on with our lives and wait for what he's planning to go down."

Then I shrugged and said casually.

"Who knows? Maybe for once he's being honest and something good may come out of what he's planning."

Then I turned to Sedrick and realized that him and Stefan were talking. I saw Stefan frowning while Sedrick merely rolled his eyes and replied.

"She's safe in Georgia with her mate. Now, get away from me before I make you move."

I then sighed and said.

"Sedrick, take me home. I'm tired."

He instantly turned towards me and replied.

"Of course, lets go."

With that, I began walking towards the door with him beside me. Before I walked out, I turned to say bye to Damon and Stefan, but they were already gone. I simply sighed and let Sedrick lead me to the truck.

On our way to my house, I turned to Sedrick and asked.

"What were you and Stefan talking about?"

He frowned slightly and replied.

"He was merely asking about his blonde friend that I was supposed to care for."

"Lexi? Oh yeah, what happened? Where did you take her?"

Sedrick simply shrugged and replied.

"I skimmed through her memories and saw her mate. I searched for any information on his whereabouts and realized he was in Georgia waiting for her return. I simply influenced her to forget what happened and sent her on a plane back to him."

I merely nodded and replied.

"That was really kind of you, Sedrick."

He merely smirked and replied.

"I did it for you, Leslie. I am not kind towards others, nor do I care to be. I only did that because I knew that's what you would have wanted."

I nodded and replied.

"Thanks, Sedrick."

As he pulled up into my drive way, I noticed someone sitting outside on the porch reading a book. I stared carefully and finally realized who it was. I glared through the window and said.

"Just what I needed."

Sedrick sighed deeply and replied.

"Would you like me to sneak you in through your window?''

I merely sighed and replied.

"Don't bother, he'll just follow me anyways."

He nodded seriously and then replied.

"Very well then."

He then stopped the truck infront of the house and dashed to open my door. I quickly got out and I thanked him for the day. He merely smiled in response and ruffled my hair a bit. He then got back in and drove off. I walked casually up the steps and said.

"I'm backing off. Whatever you're planning no longer concerns me. I can take whatever you throw at me and throw it back ten times as harder, so I'm not afriad of what's going to come."

My dad merely looked up from his book and replied casually.

"I am aware of that, but I highly doubt you will be able to take what's coming. This isn't like anything else I have mastered. If you prevail then I am most definitely going to have a serious talk with the Elders."

I blinked and said in disbelief.

"The Elders? They're in on this too?"

My dad merely laughed and replied.

"Of course, they are. They are the ones that told me to interverne."

"Intervene?'

"You don't need to repeat everything I say, Leslie. Oh, and how was your stay at the Salvatores? Is your arm completely healed yet?"

I glared at him and said.

"Stay the hell out of my life."

He merely chuckled and replied.

"I'll do that when you finally realize that being who you are doesn't precisely mean you can't love."

I froze in my stance and stared at him wide-eyed. He merely smiled back at me and said.

"Open your heart and I'll back off. Stay in denial and I will be here until then. Now, have you read this book called, Little Red Ridding Hood? It's a pretty good book, if I do say so myself."
