A/N: So here's chapter three (Nikole Salvatore) so let me know what you think. And does anyone recognize the OC from this chapter? I really didn't want to make this an OC story, but if you want an OC PM me and if I like your idea, or it doesn't interfere with my other ideas for this story, I may add you in:)

Ch. 3

"You're a werewolf?" Jacob asked his new companion, Tyler. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Rosalie look over in interest.

"Yeah. New wolf. Only turned twice," Tyler replied.

"Twice? Wait a second. You only turn on the full moon, don't you? You're a real werewolf, you're not like us."

"Huh?"

"We are shapeshifters, my pack. We change whenever we want."

"With almost no pain, I bet," Tyler muttered.

"Nope, no pain." Then Jacob paused. "Got something to stare at Blondie?"

"Only a smelly...shape shifting dog, and his kind of cute friend," she said. Lucky Emmett was out hunting.

"Oh, yeah? You're pretty hot too," Tyler said.

"Okay," Damon said, walking in the door just then. "We got plenty of blood bags for our stay."

"Where did you get those?" Jasper asked.

"The local hospital. Compelled two night guards to forget we had them and it was easy rolling from there," Damon explained.

"That's where Carlisle works," Jasper said.

"Who's that?" Caroline asked.

"The man who turned most of us. Our...'adoptive father,' one could say," Rosalie explained. "And none of us really choose to drink human blood. We feed off animals."

"Ugh. Just like my brother. Morality issues?" Damon asked.

"Carlisle thinks it's wrong. He's implanted the idea into our heads as well," Jasper said.

While they were talking Caroline noticed Rosalie staring at Tyler.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" Rosalie countered, a note of faked innocence in her voice. She then walked away.

"Rgh! Could she be any more...ugh!" Caroline growled, and her face was contorting and her fangs were coming out.

"Whoa!" Jake said, and backed away from her. So did the other Cullens. "Been around vampires all this time and never seen that before."

Caroline then realized what had happened, and calmed down enough so her face would go back to normal. "Sorry, she's just, just so..."

"Like you?" Damon finished.

"No! She's..." she trailed off, then sat down and stopped talking.

"So you're Elena," Alice said.

"We've established that," Elena said.

Alice, Elena, and Bella were all outside in a clearing in the woods. They had gotten away because, with so many people, it had gotten overwhelming, especially for Alice. Despite being helped by Elijah the previous day, being around so many people had managed to give her another headache. So she escaped with Elena, who she really wanted to talk to, for privacy, and Bella came along as well.

"Why do you keep asking that?" Bella asked.

"No reason. It doesn't matter. You're human."

"Oh, oh my God. You didn't think I was...Katherine, did you?"

"Katherine. I remember her like it was yesterday.

"I don't know who turned me into a vampire," Alice explained. I woke alone. A few days after turning into a vampire, there she was. Katherine. She tried to convince me to join her, and I almost agreed, until I saw a vision of Carlisle and his family. I knew there was another way, and I refused. She got angry and tried to stake me in the heart, which didn't work, by the way. Since then, we've been enemies. I thought you were her when I first saw you."

"That would explain the weird look Damon said you gave me," Elena realized.

"Are you dating that Damon guy?" Bella asked.

"No, I'm dating his brother. Why?"

"I don't know. Wait, is his brother a vampire too?"

"Yes, why?"

"And he hasn't turned you yet?"

"Stefan, Damon's brother, won't do anything I don't want him to."

"You don't want to be a vampire?"

"Did you?" Elena asked.

"Of course. I want to be with Edward forever. Now I can be. Trust me, Stefan won't be able to be a vampire while you stay human. He'll have to turn you, because there's no way he could be a human for you."

"Me and Stefan are working out just fine, thank you. Even with me being a human. And I don't want to change it. I mean, I would love if Stefan became a human for me, but it won't happen. And I'm not turning into a vampire. I'm seventeen years old. I don't know what I want to do with my life yet, whether I'll regret the descision to turn in a couple years. I'm not supposed to be a vampire, I'm supposed to grow up. Decide if I want to have kids and start a family, grow old, and I'm supposed to have a lifetime of these choices."

"But it's not the same as having eternal life with the one you love. And look at me, I have both. I have a kid, and immortality."

"A kid?"

"Nessie. She's my child. Mine and Edward's."

"Vampires can't..."

"Our kind can. The girl has to be human though."

"His kind can't. Not even then."

"But you should still be a vampire. I say this because I care. You'll be miserable when he has to leave and you're forced to stay behind. You're going to die and he's going to still be seventeen."

"I know what I'm getting myself into."

"Do you really?" Bella asked.

—

"I didn't think you would remember me," Jasper said. "It was some weekend."

"Crazy," Damon added. "And the war had a way of messing with minds, I noticed."

Damon and Jasper had the house to themselves. They didn't know where everyone else went, but they thought they'd take the time to catch up.

"How did you get turned?" Jasper asked.

"I was in love with a vampire. She ended up turning me, and my brother who was in love with her as well."

"I was found by a vampire by the name of Maria who wanted me for a vampire army. I eventually escaped, but my...sketchy past makes it harder for me to control my thirst for blood than my adopted siblings."

"I don't bother. I just take the hospital's blood bags."

"That blood belonged to humans, who gave it for a worthy cause."

"Dude, we're souless creatures of the night, as some call us. We don't get to be picky, and when you spend enough time running from and trying to fight off Original vampires, you need the blood to be strong."

"We have to fight the Volturi soon. We could use all the help we could get, but I'm not sure Carlisle will go for the whole human blood thing. Not even to make us stronger."

"Carlisle sounds like a charm," Damon said.

Then Nicole walked in the door. "Where is everyone?" she asked.

"Gone," Jasper answered. "We're not sure, everyone just went their separate ways."

"Oh." She sighed. "Hey Damon," she added as if giving a hint.

"Hello Nicole."

"Want to hang?" she asked?

Okay, Damon thought, she is so desperate. "Sure," he said out loud. "Let's hang out."

Elijah returned to his brother to report that he had seen no vampires they could use in the ritual. In truth, he had spent the entire day with Alice.

"So you found no vampires of our kind that would be of any use to me?" Klaus asked.

"No," Elijah replied.

"That's all right, brother. I have found us a girl."

"Really? Who?"

"Come here sweetheart," he called to a girl just outside the room. The girl walked in. She had curly brown hair almost like Katerina's and she was almost as tall. She looked frightened, but she didn't try to escape Klaus. Perhaps she knew it was useless.

"What's her name?" Elijah asked his brother, but the girl answered.

"My name is Alex," she said in a very quiet voice.

"And you're a vampire?"

"Since 1466," she replied, in the same quiet voice. She grabbed a bracelet on her wrist and began playing absently with it. It was blue, split into sections with little metal loops connecting them. In each of the sections was a lapis lazuli put his arm around the girl and led her away. Down the hall, and into a room, where he left her, with a promise of returning soon.

"She has no idea of the fate you have planned for her, does she?" Elijah asked.

"No. She doesn't, and you will not tell her."

"And all this means...my services are no longer required?"

"That is correct."

Part of me was glad to be done with Klaus' bidding, but I was concerned. This way, I couldn't get to see Alice.
