GIVING US A TRY

CHAPTER 3

OH! AND I GUESS I FORGOT...BUT I DO NOT OWN TVD OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS, BUT A GIRL CAN DREAM. IF I DID OWN IT KLAMON WOULD HAPPEN.

1994- The Other Side

Damon got up and strolled to the kitchen. Grabbing a bag of blood, a bag of chips, and some bourbon, he went back to the couch and slumped down on the couch. Bonnie was still in deep thoughts. "How did I not notice! I am so stupid!" Damon raised an eyebrow at her sudden outburst, and his own confusion about what she was thinking. As Bonnie noticed the expressions on his face, she rolled her eyes.

"You and Klaus!" She yelled, throwing her hands up. "The mushy gushy look exchange, the excuses to spend time together!"

Damon rolled his eyes.

"Fist, we do not do the mushy gushy looks, and you were too busy saving Elena, and you were practically blinded by your hatred for vampires, to notice much of anything." Bonnie nodded and than her eyes widened.

"Tell me more!"

When Damon didn't say anything she added, "What happened to Elijah! What happened next?" Damon picked up the bottle of bourbon.

"Nothing really. Klaus was starting to block me out, and ignore me and he went back to being normal, or as normal as he could get. Think about it Bon. He is a 1000 year old hybrid. Things like kisses happen every second. I knew it wasn't a big deal for him, but for some reason I just couldn't let go of the thought that we kissed. I didn't know what to do. I loved the kiss, but I didn't know why it happened, so I decided to go to the mansion."

Flashback- Damon looked at the door to the Mikaelson mansion with anger, nervousness, and determination. He paced around for a while, trying to calm down. He was Damon Salvatore! He was never nervous! It's been 1 month since that kiss between him and Klaus and he didn't know why but he needed to talk about it. Taking a deep breath, he finally knocked on the door.

"Damon!" Klaus smiled when the door opened. "To what do I owe the pleasure to?"

Damon pushed passed Klaus and entered the mansion. Klaus closed the door calmly, although his expressions showed disbelief, confusion, and... nervousness?

"What can I get yo-"

"Why did you kiss me?" Damon interrupted. Klaus looked shocked for a minute, but covered it up quickly. Klaus remained silent, looking directly at Damon.

"Why did you kiss me?" Damon repeated, although this time his voice was slow, and careful. Klaus narrowed his eyes and took a step forward. "Because I wanted to." Klaus said slowly. Damon took a step forward as well, which impressed Klaus, not that he would say it out loud.

"Did you like it?" Damon whispered. Klaus smiled softly.

"Yeah, but the question is, did you?" Klaus asked tilting his head a bit, as he examined Damon. He looked him up and down, and Klaus had to admit, he had good taste.

"Yes" Damon said, for some reason feeling uncomfortable under Klaus's intense gaze on him.

"I- I enjoyed it." Damon finished.

Klaus's smile widened and Damon was kind of surprised to see the hybrid smile. It was a good look on him.

"That's all that matters than." Klaus said, and he saw as a light pink color made it's way towards Damon's cheeks. Laughing lightly, Klaus cupped Damon's face, and surprised Damon by kissing him with all his strength. Damon's arms made their way around Klaus's neck and Klaus brought him closer to him, as his arm rested protectively around Damon's waist, holding Damon in place. They than pulled apart, too early for Damon's liking. They looked at each other with wide eyes. Comfortable silence surrounding them, until Damon broke it.

"Wow." Damon whispered.

"Wow indeed." Klaus smirked.

Damon looked at Klaus and than quickly headed for the door. Klaus hurried towards him, and held onto Damon's wrist. "Woah! Where are you heading of to?" Klaus asked confused.

"Um, I just thought..." Damon trailed of. "Never mind. I should go. You are probably busy as well, I don't want to waste your time." Damon turned around once again, only to be stopped by Klaus once again.

"All I have is time, mate. Why are you in such a hurry?" Damon looked down to his feet. "It's nothing. It's stupid. Forget it."

"Damon." Klaus said in a calm but demanding tone. Damon looked up at Klaus, and for the first time, Klaus studied Damon's face. He saw his expressions. He saw fear, nervousness, and he saw just how broken the blue eyed man standing in front of him was.

"Are you afraid I will hurt you?" Klaus said softly, which surprised Damon. Damon shook his head, and sighed.

"No, I- I just I don't know. you have a thing for Caroline, and I just..." Damon trailed of looking away from Klaus. Finally, Klaus realized that Damon was afraid of rejection, he was afraid of being the second choice once again, he was afraid of getting hurt. Klaus let go of him and walked back a bit. Damon looked at Klaus and turned for the door.

"Damon?" Klaus called after Damon.

"Hmm?" Damon turned around to face Klaus.

"I think...I think we should...we should...meet...I think...um" Klaus trembled over his words which Damon found completely unklaus-like and adorable. Damon was shocked at the way the thousand year old vampire was having difficulty asking him about hanging out. He reminded Damon of a teenager asking someone to prom. Damon decided that even though he was having a lot of fun with this, he was going to make it easier for Klaus.

"I would love to hangout with you Klaus." Damon finally said and Klaus let out a breath of relief he didn't know he had been holding. With that Damon left the mansion with a smiling Klaus and, walked back to the boarding house.

Present Time

Klaus drove the car to the directions Alaric gave him and they reached a small house in a quiet neighborhood. They both got out of the car and walked towards the house. Klaus wanted to barge in but Alaric insisted on knocking. Alaric and Klaus waited until the door opened to a girl with short brunette hair and green eyes.

"Niklaus? What are you doing here?" She asked alert. Klaus looked at the little witch and smiled at the terror in her eyes. He had not met her before, yet she was terrified of him.

"We need your help." Alaric said with pleading eyes. Klaus wiggled his finger. "Correction, I want you to do something for me. It is quite an important task and i need the correct witch to do it or there will be consequences." The witch didn't flinch and Klaus was quite impressed. She reminded him of Damon in a way.

Alaric sighed. "What he means is that this is really important, so can you do something for us?"

The witch looked between the two vampires. "With what? I do not help vampires without an important reason."

Alaric sighed once again and heard Klaus grumble something that sounded like, witches! Always so damn uptight. He wanted to be mad at Klaus but that just made him remember Damon and Alaric couldn't help but smile.

"May we come in?"

The witch looked at Alaric with narrowed eyes. "We don't mean any trouble,please." The witch opened the door.

"You can come in.

Stefan strolled the boarding house and went inside Damon's room. He was done looking for Klaus, because everyone knew that the only way to find Klaus was when Klaus wanted to be found. He snooped around Damon's room once in a while when he got bored, also because he missed his brother, and this Caroline and Elena situation was getting to him. With Damon, he would feel better because his brother would make sarcastic comments or funny jokes and even comfort him and give advice sometimes. No matter how much relaxing it was without him, Damon was his brother, and now Stefan knew that Damon was his lifeline,he is important,more than some girl. He was the one constant he had in his life ever since he was born, and now he was gone.

Stefan sighed, his emotions were all over the place. Stefan looked through Damon's book collection, and than looked through his clothes in his huge closet. They were all organized by color. The shirts, t-shirts, jackets, and pants all in different sections. His sunglasses neatly rested on top a shelf, his hats underneath them, and his shoes neatly presented. Stefan shook his head amused. He knew his brother was a neat freak.

As he was about to leave, something caught his eye. There was a box hidden behind his clothes. Stefan dragged the box out and inhaled. It smelled so much like Damon. Leather, bourbon, and expensive cologne. The smells he had gotten used to,and learned to love. For a minute, Stefan just sat there, his eyes closed as he took in the scent and pictured his brother.

"I am sorry I failed you brother. I was such a bad brother. I miss you, big brother. Ho un sacco grande fratello manca." Stefan whispered.

Stefan opened his eyes and opened the box. He sat cross- legged on the floor of his brothers room. he picked up the envelopes on the top and opened them.

Someday,1952

Dear Stefan,

I don't know how long I will be able to take this anymore. It's been 2 years. I have been in the Augustine society for 2 whole years now. The Augustine society keep torturing us. Humans use vampires as lab rats. I just...I need you brother. I can't do this alone. I know I am being selfish and I don't deserve your love, but I need you. I finally got a pen and paper from Maggie today. She told me that she delivered the letters I wrote before. The question is why haven't you come yet? Enzo and Maggie are the only people I talk to here. Believe it or not, they are not the only people keeping me sane here, it's the thoughts of you, fratellino. I talk to Enzo about you all the time. I think it helps with the pain. I wish I can see you soon.

your brother,

Damon

Stefan put the letter down and stared into space. He felt his vision become blurry and wetness on his face, but he didn't move. Guilt crept into him. He just stared at the wall. What was he doing! He is doing the same thing he did in 1952. He is leaving his brother, when he needs him the most. He is giving up on him. He is leaving his brother because of a girl...again. He closed his eyes and picked up the next letter. He took a deep breath as he opened it preparing himself once again.

1994- The other side

"So, wait let me get this straight, Klaus asked you on a date?"

"It wasn't a date! It was a hang-out!" Damon corrected Bonnie. Bonnie rolled her eyes, but decided not to argue.

"Right, Klaus asked you to hang-out?" Damon looked at her for awhile and than nodded his head. "Yeah we went out. It was petty fun actually." Damon thought about the first time they went out but before he could tell Bonnie about it they heard something outside.

"What was that?" Bonnie asked getting up from the couch.

"I don't know" Damon opened the door and raced outside. Bonnie followed close behind. Once they reached the two looked around frantically, but they saw nothing. Damon sighed and stepped back inside the house, about to close the door when they saw a small guy sitting on a bench eating something.

"Who the hell is that?" Damon asked tilting his head to the side.

Bonnie smirked and looked at Damon.

"That is our ticket to home."

present

Klaus and Alaric sat in front of the petite witch who was going through the grimoire.

"I got it." She spoke. They both looked up to see the witch, Veronica Bennett smiling slightly.

"There are two major prison worlds. The 1903 prison world was for vampires who are rippers. There are a few of them trapped in there. One of them is Lily Salvatore. Her and some of her heretics or witchpires are in the prison world."

Klaus thought about that for a minute. Lily Salvatore. That name sounded so familiar. Can she be related to Damon and Stefan? Klaus shook the thought out and focused on Veronica.

"The other prison world, and the one I believe Sheila put Damon and Bonnie in, has Kai Parker. It's the 1994 prison world. The Gemini Coven trapped Kai Parker in there so he won't destroy the Coven for power. After all, he did attack and kill his own siblings for power. The coven makes the twins in the family merge at a particular age. I don't know too much about the coven."

Alaric looked at Veronica in disbelief. "Wait, when you mean merge you mean MERGE!" Alaric asked while making a movement with his hands. Veronica nodded. "That's exactly what I mean. Klaus rolled his eyes.

"Lets get to the important parts shall we." Klaus moved forward.

"So let me get with straight. You are telling me that Damon and Bonnie were stuck in the prison world of 1994 with a psychopath that killed his own siblings? Veronica nodded again.

"That's exactly what I said." Alaric let out a small laugh.

"He sounds just like you!" Klaus rolled his eyes and let out a low growl. "First of all,I did not kill my siblings, I simply daggered them, and I do not do it for power. I did it so I can get them out of the way and second, I don't think you get to talk to me that way because I can and I will rip your heart out!" Klaus threatened, even though he would never kill Alaric because Damon has a fondness for the teacher and would probably never talk to him if he did that.

Alaric just rolled his eyes and looked at Veronica who had disgust written all over her face. "Anyways, what's the plan? How so we get them back?" Alaric asked. "I need the blood of a significant other, blood of a family member, and Bennett blood, which will be my blood so you don't need to worry about that. I am a powerful witch so I can complete the spell in a few hours, unlike other witches. The rest of the things that you need for the spell is nothing you need to worry about." Alaric nodded but Klaus narrowed his eyes.

"What are you hiding?" Klaus growled causing Veronica to flinch. She quickly covered up and held her head high.

"Nothing." She said with confidence.

"You know I can't believe that. I have been living for 1000 years. I can tell if a person is lying from a mile away." Veronica swallowed and than sighed.

"Since we don't have the ascendant, we need to do a complex spell. Everything in the supernatural world has a balance. Every time you gain something, you loose the other. Natural and unnatural magic causes problems. I have to use Natural magic, which means the unnatural magic will be taken over by the natural powers. My powers will destroy the unnatural power, so creatures like vampires, and werewolves will loose all their powers." Veronica explained slowly.

"What do you mean?" Alaric asked confused.

"They turn human." Klaus said in a monotone.

"Is it temporary?" Alaric asked.

"I don't know, I never did the spell before." Klaus looked at Veronica and than picked up a knife.

"I guess we have to find out."
