Books/TV: A Vampire Diaries and Twilight Crossover

Main Pair: Isabella Marie Swan/Lockwood and Damon Salvatore

Title: The Odd One Out.

Author: BlueEyesBurning

Rating: T. May change.

Warning: Need to know main plot line for Twilight and main plot line for Vampire Diaries especially after the Season One finale.

Author's Note: I have my other stories My Baby Isabella and Elsewhere I know I haven't updated them in a while, but I will and Elsewhere is now my main priority as I have put My Baby Isabella on hold for a while, so I will update this story when I can, but there probably won't be an actual day that I'll update on. I had the sudden plot line shoved into my head during an English Exam I had, and as soon as I exited, I scribbled it all down. It may be a bit higgle-de-piggle-de at first, but I try my best!

Summary: Bella is Richard and Mason Lockwood's younger sister, when Edward leaves, and Richard is pronounced dead, Bella has to swallow her grief and guilt and put on her big girl pants to revisit the town she never wanted to see again. But when returning there reunites her with her other brother, will the feelings be too hard to bear. Will hate and uncertainty drive her insane, or will an unnerving duo keep her grounded?

Chapter seven – Brave New World

Mystic Falls High School –Bella

I was walking around the school; taking in the sights; seeing what had changed and what hadn't. I was feeling good. I felt powerful and I would do until Stefan gave his brother back his ring and he came after me. But I wasn't too worried, I mean I was a Lockwood and Damon had some beef with them. I would assume that he had found out what we were or at least he had suspicions. At first, I thought he might try his luck with Mason but maybe he figured Mason would know what he was as soon as he saw his ring. I guess, he didn't take into account that I might as well, and now that I'd pissed him off, I have a feeling that I'm on the top of his hit list.

Great. Crazy homicidal vampire after me. Like I haven't been there before.

I looked around and saw that everyone was doing something. Tyler had told me yesterday that there was to be a carnival around here and Caroline was meant to be organizing it but she'd been taken into hospital the same day that Richard had died. Something about her, Ty and Matt being in an accident and Caroline getting the full force of it. I should really go and see her in hospital, but for now I had spotted Elena and Bonnie. I figured Elena might be a little pissed off with me about the whole sleeping with Damon thing last night, I had heard about her little love triangle she has going on with the Salvatore brothers.

I walked over to the two girls and just about heard the end of their conversation.

"Ok, I'm sorry, I'll focus. We have to make Caroline proud or she will kill us. I don't know how she does all of this." Bonnie said, shaking her head.

"Well, that's because she's not human, obviously." I said, interrupting them. "Hi."

"Bella!" Bonnie cried happily, throwing her arms around me. "I've missed you. Hey, sorry I didn't get to catch up with you yesterday. How are you?"

"I'm good; as good as I can be anyway." I replied, smiling at the younger girl. She had grown a lot and she sure had become who she wanted to be. She was confident and proud and above all, gorgeous. I had missed a lot around here. "Hey, Bonnie, can I get a minute with Elena?"

Bonnie shot me a look, and then looked back at Elena. "Erm… yeah. Sure, we'll catch up later right?"

Elena nodded and Bonnie left squeezing her arm as she passed. "Wow, why have I suddenly become the bad guy? Nobody wants to talk to me anymore." I wondered as I watched Bonnie walk away. "What's up with her?"

"You've missed a lot, Bella, and I know you have your reasons, but you can't just come back and expect everything to be the same." Elena said and started walking away.

"Hey, woah! What have I done to deserve this?" I said, hurt as I jogged to keep up with her. "I never expected things to be the same. People change, I know that. Better than anyone. "

"Why'd you sleep with Damon?" She snapped.

"Why does it bother you so much?" I shot back. "You have Stefan, and you're in love and everything is hunky dorey for you. My brother just died and I'm not allowed one stupid one nighter? Way to judge someone, Elena."

"I know, you know. About Stefan, about Damon, that they're vampires. And you still sleep with him. He's a murderer, Bella. You must know that?" She asked, stopping abruptly.

"And Stefan's not? Elena, they're vampires, you just said so yourself! If Stefan's never killed someone then I am beyond impressed. I've had my fair share of vampires, I know what they're like and I know that they can savagely kill you in the blink of an eye if they want." She started walking away again and I grabbed her arm. "I'm not apologizing about what I did. I realize Damon has probably killed people, but so has Stefan and if you're going to judge me, maybe you should judge yourself first." I let go of her arm and I water her walk way. "God, I need a drink."

Elena

Elena walked away from her old friend with anger in her stomach. All she wanted to do was scream and shout. She hated Damon so why did Bella have to sleep with him of all people? She wasn't jealous, like many people might think. She just… hated him. He killed her little brother, without seeing the ring. Damon knew that Jeremy wouldn't come back to life and still he killed him. Would Bella be so quick to sleep with him if she knew the truth?

She walked through the school before she saw Stefan and Jeremy leaning against some lockers and she walked over to them.

"Hello, Elena." Stefan said, pulling her into his side.

She pushed herself against him feeling his warmth before looking at her younger sibling. "Hey, did you…?"

"Yeah, yeah, I set up the gold fish toss, all three hundred gold fish." He responded before sarcastically saying, "It's going to be epic." Then he walked away shaking his head.

"he's going to be alright, he's just been through a bit of an ordeal." Stefan said turning to his girlfriend.

Elena rested her head against his chest. "I was just hoping that this carnival would reel him back into the land of a high school teenager."

"Ah," Stefan said, pulling her away from him. "That was what we were doing here?"

"Yes, we all are. We're going to be boring high school students who live in a world where the 'v' word is not uttered."

"Got it!" Stefan replied, smiling.

"Then later," Elena started. "You're going to take me to the Ferris wheel, we're going to ride to the very top and then you're going to kiss me and my heart will flutter like a normal high school girl. Do you see a running theme here?"

"Yeah I know, I'm seeing it and I'm liking it," Stefan paused. "But I have a quick question. Uh, what do we do about Damon?"

"Uh, uh. No 'D' word ok? That has been deleted from the list of topics that we can discuss."

"Unfortunately, Katherine showing up has been a little bit of an odd place, little off-kilter, kind of dangerous. Who know what he's up to?" Stefan said, running his fingers through Elena's hair.

"Continue to sleep with Bella no doubt," Elena mumbled. She looked up at Stefan. "I kind of just shouted at her."

Stefan just looked down into her eyes and smiled.

Lockwood Mansion - Damon

Damon and Carole are sat in the living room. "So I understand John Gilbert has left town. Have they found the vampire that attacked him?" Carole asked, fidgeting in her seat.

"Well, the sheriff has asked me to take the lead on that and I promise you I will get to the bottom of it." Damon replied, looking around the lavish room.

"Which brings me to my next subject. With Richard gone, I'll be acting as interim mayor until the elections and I'm going to need someone to spearhead out the council. I'd like that person to be you." Carol said, standing up.

"Whatever you need Carol. As a founding family member it's something that's very close to me so I would be honored to help keep this town safe from vampires." Damon said, as though nothing was wrong at all.

They both turn as they hear a loud bang and Mason and Tyler enter the house. Carol then moves to the door of the living room and closes it softly.

"Is it safe to talk?" Damon asks quietly.

Carol nods. "It's my brother-in-law, Mason. He's still visiting. I just don't want him to hear us. He didn't want any part of the council when he lived here and I see no reason to bring him into it now."

Damon tunes out of the conversation he's having with Carol and listens in on Mason and Tyler. At first the conversation they're having makes no sense to him. "When was that?" Tyler asks. "Like seven?"

"Six," Mason replies. "I don't count the last one. You crawled it."

"What?" Tyler says.

"I think Grandma Lockwood actually passed you, in her walker."

"Yeah, ok. Shoes off. Mud, my mom…" Tyler tells his uncle.

"Yeah, yeah." He says and Damon hear his move and sit on a chair before removing his shoes. "So all this anger and aggression you're talking about, you notice a difference when you exercise?" Mason asks and suddenly Damon becomes more interested in the conversation and tries to listen harder.

"Dude," Tyler scoffs. "I play 3 varsity sports. I work out 4 times a week and run 3, I'm going to say no."

Mason tries a different approach. "Do you have episodes? What happens exactly?"

"Starts out normal, I get angry typically over nothing. I'm an angry guy. I know it just amplifies and I just go off."

"You back out?" Mason pushes.

"Yeah," Tyler says, and Damon can only imagine him nodding. "It's like I go blind with rage."

"Is the a pattern? Like once a month, only at night?" Mason seems too interested.

"All I know is I loose myself, you know? For that time I become something else and I hate it." Damon is still listening when his concentration is shifted from the two Lockwood's talking to the door opening and closing again and her sweet aroma covering him and spreading throughout the house. Bella had walked in.

He looses his concentration completely when carol says his name. "More tea? Damon?"

"Oh, yes, please. Thank you, Carol." He replies, before taking the plunge and asking the one question he'd wanted to the whole time he was there. "What about your sister-in-law, Bella?"

"What about her?" Carol asks.

"What's her view on everything? The council, vampires, the whole thing?"

"Well, didn't Liz fill you in yesterday? She doesn't have an opinion really. She's much like Mason in that way. But if only she knew, I have a feeling she'd be our biggest weapon against the supernatural. Once she sets her mind on something, she'll finish it." Carol looked down. "She's like Richard in the respect, and their mother. Ugh, Mrs Lockwood was a stubborn old woman."

Damon didn't pay much more attention after that.

'…our biggest weapon against the supernatural…'

'…if only she knew…'

Oh, but Carol, she does know. Damon thought. And it's going to get her killed.

A/N: *hides behind a rock* You all have permission to kill me. I know it's been so long. I'm sorry, I have no excuse. But, I have been ill lately so I've been catching up on everything, ie, my stories! And, maybe, I might even have another chapter up my sleeve!

Also, some good news. I know I told you I'd let you know if that author took down his/her story and I forgot to tell you. But he/she has, which is great news. So, wooo!

Anyway, I hope you guys like this one, it is a little longer because I felt bad. It's about 2000 words, and normally I only do 1000 so hopefully you won't be too mean. But I'm getting back on track, with my writing and the plot.

I purposely haven't written the part where Damon and Katherine have a snog fest in the Boarding house, and the part where Damon kills Jeremy, because I want it to be how it flows for Bella and she would be asleep for those parts, because, ya'know Damon's that good in bed and she was totally exhausted and went right to sleep after the little romp in the sheets.

Also, it's almost Christmas. Which means it's almost my birthday so that make me happy.
