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 8 – Carnival

Salvatore Boarding House – Damon

Damon stood pouring a blood pouch into a glass, when Stefan arrived. Damon looked up and raised his glass. "Care for one?" He asked, squeezing the last drops from the bag.

"No, thank you. I'm not hungry, just ate." Stefan replied, sitting down.

"Aren't you worried that one day, all the forest animals are going to band together and fight back? I mean, surely they talk." Damon said sarcastically, once again making a dig about his brother's eating habits.

Stefan smiled half-heartedly. "I'm just happy that's a blood bag and not a sorority girl supplying your dinner."

"I like this. You, walking on egg shells around me because you think I'm going to explode. Very suspenseful. Is Elena worried too? I bet I'm your every conversation." Damon said, with his half smile-half smirk.

"Have you heard from Katherine?"

Damon ignored his brother and got onto the topic that was really bothering him. "I think the Lockwood's have a family secret because the Gilbert device affected them but vervain didn't so they're not vampires, they're something else."

Stefan sighed. "Is this your new obsession? Is this what sleeping with Bella was about?"

Damon shrugged. "You'd rather some unknown supernatural element running rampant upon our town. Fine, I'll drop it."

"We haven't seen the last of Katherine, you do know that right? We have no idea what she's up to," Stefan said, slowly and carefully, so as not to upset his unstable brother.

"Sure we do. She came back to profess her undying eternal love for you so I'm going to let you deal with her because I have more important things to do like explode. Cheers!" Damon said, as sarcastically as possible, raising his glass a little.

Mystic Falls High School – Bella

I was back at the school, I had gone back home to get something to eat and grab a change of clothes and had planned to come to the carnival with Tyler and Mason. I needed to be distracted and I thought maybe going out to a public place with my brother was a good idea. Obviously not, because they had stayed behind at the house and said they'd be her later.

So the distraction thing hadn't worked. I was waiting for Damon. It was dark, the sun had gone down but I knew he had his ring back because he'd been at the mansion earlier so he could obviously now walk in the sunlight. But he hadn't attacked me yet, not at the house and not here either. And I was easy target here. Nobody was around to really suspect anything, and it was dark so even if someone did see something it could easily look like something else. So I was in need of a distraction, because I was on edge and I didn't like it one bit.

I could see Elena and Bonnie from across the carnival, but thought it better to leave them be. I wanted to talk to Bonnie and see how she was. But with Elena around that would be hard. I didn't really understand her outburst earlier today, she was dating a vampire and she judged me for sleeping with one once.

I saw the girls talk to a man who was repairing one of the stands and then Bonnie walked away with him while Elena smiled after them. I caught her eye from across the school and smiled at her; but all she did was look down and turn away.

Lockwood Mansion – Mason

Mason was in his deceased brother's office, looking around in draws and under books. He searched everywhere when Tyler arrived. "What are you doing?" Tyler asked, leaning against the door frame.

"Nothing," Mason replied, suspiciously. "Just killing time, waiting for you."

"Are you looking for something?" Tyler said, pushing off the door frame and walking towards his uncle.

"Yeah, actually. You know where I can find any family artefact stuff? Heirlooms?" Mason asked, tidying the desk a little.

Tyler laughed. "You drained your trust fund already?"

"I did that when I was 22," Mason chuckled. "No, I'm just looking for this old piece of my mum's. My dad gave it to her when they got married. It's sentimental value. Probably passed down to your dad. It must still be in the house somewhere."

"Well, what's it look like?"

"Erm… it's a moonstone; it's about the size of a hockey puck. Old, ugly, minimal monetary value."

"Hey, man, whatever. Ask my mom, I guess."

"Yeah, cool, I'll do that. You're ready?" Mason said, dropping the subject entirely.

"Yeah."

Mystic Falls High School - Jeremy

Jeremy is at a booth buying some popcorn, when Damon spots him and walks over. "Jeremy, it's so good to see you alive."

Jeremy turns and glares at the vampire. "Aren't you a little old for a high school carnival?"

"One hundred and fifty years too old," Damon corrects him.

Jeremy scoffs, "You're pretty funny cracking jokes when I could I don't know… blow the whole lid off this thing by telling someone what you really are."

Damon's face hardens and he grabs Jeremy taking him away from the crowd. "So please tell me that, that is not a threat."

Jeremy shrugs. "Maybe it is." He shows Damon his ring, but realises his mistake as Damon chokes him from behind.

"This is what we're going to do: we're not going to walk around like we are invincible when it's this easy for me to end you," he says into Jeremy's ear before releasing him. "If you want to tell people what I really am go ahead and try." Damon holds up Jeremy's ring that he had stolen from his hand. "I will shove this ring so far up your ass; you'll really have something to choke on." He then threw the ring to Jeremy and left.
