A/N: So sorry I didn't update in soooo long. But I've been really busy and honestly, I was going to end this on the previous chapter and start a sequel.

But then I went over it again and realized that that really didn't make any sense to do. So viola, I did another chapter. And yes, there will be a whole lot more chapters after this - if I plan it right - and then I'll end it - at a good point - and start the sequel. Hope this didn't cause too much confusion.

Anyways, onto the chapter.

Ooh! DISCLAIMER:

I do not own Vampire Diaries or it's characters. I only own Sonya and any and all future original characters. Phew! Just had to get that out before I got jumped by the pack of rabid werewolf zombies O.o

Sonya finally fell asleep after having four more bags of blood, even with the vervain burning her throat she hadn't stopped eating until that fourth bag was bone dry. Damon stood above her, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he threw a thin blanket over her and tucked it in on the sides.

"You loved her once.. Didn't you?" asked Elena coming down the stairs, undoubtedly from Stefan's room.

"Who ever said that I truly stopped," began Damon, his eyes still on her sleeping frame. "I lost her once Elena, I don't know if I can lose her again."

"Is that why you got so upset and pacey when she didn't answer her phone?"

"Exactly. And it was with good reason seeing as Elijah killed her." said Damon with an unamused smirk.

Damon's head snapped back to Sonya when she jerked up from the couch with a big gulp of air, her hand shooting up to the spot she was stabbed hours before.

"Hey hey, it's alright. You're here and you're safe." Damon cooed, sitting down and taking her in his arms.

"Hey Elena." muttered Sonya, looking up at her, still smashed against Damon's chest.

Elena gave her a big smile, attempting to hide her sadness for her.

"Don't worry Elena, we're going to all get him back for everything that he has done. Past, present and future anything he was going to do." said Sonya passionately. "Can I go back to sleep now?"

Damon nodded as she stood and slowly walked up the stairs, undoubtedly to a room close to Damon's.

As soon as Sonya was out of earshot Elena and Damon began to speak again.

They talked about all the times that Damon and Sonya laughed and fought and they even talked about how Damon took Sonya's leaving.

Before they knew it it was getting light outside and Sonya came bounding down the steps, laughing with Stefan and looking refreshed. Like the night before never even happened.

"Well good morning sunshine. I take it you slept better up stairs than you did here on the couch." said Damon with a smile as she plopped on the couch next to Elena.

"I stole you're bed. Well, I guess that since you didn't actually go to sleep last night that it doesn't count as stealing?" said Sonya with a smile plastered on her face from her and Stefan's conversation.

"Maybe I just didn't go to sleep in my bed because you were already occupying it." said Damon with a sarcastic grin.

Sonya rolled her eyes at Damon and stood back up from the couch.

"Well, I'll be back in a few hours." she said smoothing out her black mini skirt.

"Where are you going?" asked Damon going into protective dick mode.

"Uh, out, hello." replied Sonya with a scoff.

"Do you remember what happened the last time you went out alone? No, not happening. I'm going to go with you." said Damon standing up.

"Oh c'mon Damon! Elijah thinks that he had me killed. He wont be looking for me anymore and he wont find me even if he was. I know what to expect now and I know how to avoid the bastard." said Sonya pulling on a tight black leather jacket. "Besides Damon, if Elijah's looking to find you and you're with me then I'm in way more danger with you than without you."

Damon stared at her, battling with himself, then sat back down on the couch beside Elena.

"Are you at least going to tell us where you're going, just to be sure?" asked Elena.

Sonya gave her a small nod and a smile before turning around and casually walking out the front door.

"I'm just going to say that that's a no, Elena." said Damon.

Sonya was going to take a car but thought against it after a moment, bringing a car with her would make it that much easier for someone to find her, be it Damon or Elijah and she just wasn't willing to have that happen.

She picked up her cell phone and quickly typed in the first number that came to mind, holding the phone up to her ear while it rang, patiently waiting for the person to answer.

"Hello?" came the voice from the other line.

"Hey! Alaric?"

"Sonya?" asked Ric from inside his home.

"Yeah, it's me. Do you mind if I drop by?" she asked the smile evident in her voice.

"Of course. I'll leave the door unlocked for you. Just come on inside."

"Alright I'll be right over in just a jiffy." said Sonya closing her RAZR with a small snap before racing off into the night.

Only a few moments later she was at his front door, pulled her coat closer to her body and walked passed the threshold and into Alaric's house.

"Alaric?" she said cautiously, still standing right beside the front door.

"I'm in the kitchen. Come on in." hollered Ric's voice a moment later.

Sonya smiled and closed the door, turning the lock with a small click! as the mechanisms met.

She slowly shed her jacket as she made her way from the foyer to the kitchen, taking in every detail of his home which was nicer than she had originally thought.

"That smells really good. Whatcha cooking Alaric?" she asked as she plopped on a stool and leaned on the counter top, her head in her open palms.

"Grilled Cheese. Do you want one?" asked Ric with a smile.

"Never had it before."

Alaric stopped what he was doing to look at her in slight shock.

"You've never had a Grilled Cheese sandwich before?"

"Never in all my thousands of years." nodded Sonya.

"Well it's a good thing that you came over when you did because I am making you you're very first Grilled Cheese Sandwich and you are going to love it." said Ric going back to his task.

Sonya laughed as he started to show off slightly, nearly dropping his sandwich on the floor once and actually dropping it on the floor the next time he flipped it.

"Oh. Well that one's yours." he said attempting to keep a straight face.

"I'm already dead so it's not like it can kill me." said Sonya completely serious.

"Uh, well, uh..." blinked Alaric, stunned by the fact that she really was serious. "I guess that's true..."

Sonya continued to keep a straight face until Ric made a really interesting expression, then she began to laugh and slowly Ric began to laugh with her.

"Okay, so I'll just split mine with you. Cause I'm actually out of bread." said Ric still laughing.

Sonya just shrugged but kept her smile intact.

"Alaric?"

"Yeah?"

"You don't happen to have any alcohol in here. Would you?"

"I have red wine?" said Ric uncertainly.

"Perfect."

Ric smiled at her once more before quickly finishing up his sandwich, then grabbed two glasses and a bottle of red wine.

"Wine and half of a sandwich for you," said Ric, placing a glass and a plate in front of her and pouring the liquid into it, filling it half way. "And same for me."

PHe finished pouring the wine into his glass then sat down beside Sonya and watched as she picked up her half of the sandwich and taking a small bite.

"So? What do you think?" asked Ric, with a small smile as he watched her chew and then swallow what was in her mouth.

Sonya sat there for a moment after having swallowed her small bite of sandwich, then slowly brought it back up to her mouth and took a much bigger bite.

"I think I wish I was a human!" she said with a satisfied smile.

Sonya and Alaric ate in silence for a few minutes before he brought up Elijah.

"Why do you want to know about Elijah, Ric?" asked Sonya, completely surprised by his subject choice.

"I just want to know about how you're life was. In the beginning. Y'know when you and Elijah were so close."

"We were never really all that close. Well, not at first. At first I didn't like him but that was because I wasn't the best that I could be back then. Back when Katerina was around that is," she took a deep breath and continued; "When he started to fall for her, that's when I decided that I wanted him. But like I said I wasn't the best that I could be back then. He was different... And in turn that made me different."

"What do you mean?"

"He wasn't always the way that he is now. He used to be... Well I don't really know how to describe how he was, but he definitely was different. I guess you could say that he was a little more like I am now." explain Sonya, turning her attention to her nearly empty wine glass.

"Wow..."

"Yeah... He was something else, I'll tell you." she smiled a sad smile. "And Klaus... Well Klaus is exactly the same as he's always been. There's no changing Klaus, no matter how hard you try to. But that's what I loved about him back then. His ruthlessness."

"Wait.. I thought that he was you're brother?" said Ric slowly.

"We're all brothers and sisters Ric. All vampires are cut from the same cloth essentially." she stopped to drink what was left in her glass. "No... No Klaus isn't my blood brother. Elijah and Klaus are real brothers though."

"What?"

"Yeah. They're brothers. Different fathers, but their still brothers. And I'm not necessarily an Original. But I am the very first for them to turn, which in a sense, does make me one of them."

"Does Damon know that?" asked Ric.

"No... No he doesn't know that... And I don't plan on telling him. I have to have some secrets for myself, I can't always tell Damon everything."

"You're right. He'd probably over-react anyways."

"Exactly."

"Okay, so you were telling me about Klaus and Elijah."

"Fill the glass first, then I'll continue." said Sonya with a smile, pushing her glass towards him and only continued after he filled both of their glasses completely. "Thanks."

A/N: OK there we go, that's chapter eleven. Hope it was ok, I know I haven't been writing in a while but I've just been so busy with moving in with my boyfriend Ross :)
