"This is ridiculous, in all of my years as a vampire, I've never actually came across a slayer..." Damon started to say as he twiddled his thumbs, looking at his younger brother Stefan and his girlfriend Elena.
"So wait, she's good?" Jeremy asked, after being a bit quiet. Damon scoffed, scratching his head "Well good for you, bad for us" he said eyeing Stefan and Caroline, who had to sit down after hearing the news about a Vampire slayer.
"Oh my god! I can't believe I was so pushing and in her face! She could have just killed me..." Caroline started freaking out, so Bonnie sat next to her, patting her on the back.
"I just don't see how none of you could have known Slayers exist?" Elena saod going over and taking Stefan by the hand as he looked down into her eyes
"Well it's not that surprising really, since there's only ever one Slayer at a time, in the whole world" he said with a warm smile.
"So what do we know about them?" Damon said, walking over to Ric and his collection of books "Not much is written about them because they don't really have a long life expectancy. As soon as one dies, the next is called" Ric said at the top of his head. Bonnie got up from her seat "I could go have a look through some of my Grams grimoire's to see if they're mentioned" she suggested and Caroline shot up from her seat immediately
"That sounds good, I'll go help Bonnie" and the two girls left the Salvatore's.
As the others began scrimmaging through Rics books and some of Stefans, Jeremy remembered he needed to text someone...
At the Grill, Tyler was playing pool with Tatum who was kicking his ass at it. He looked down at his phone as Tatum went to get some Cokes and saw a message from Jeremy Gilbert "She's not a V" it read and Tyler shut his phone as she returned, relief overcoming his body.
"You okay?" she asked sipping her drink, putting it down on the side of the pool table. Tyler nodded, realising he had just lost to a girl and asked for a re match
"I don't know Tyler, can your ego take another losing...?" Tatum flirtatiously asked, picking up the pool cue and passing it to Tyler.
After an hour of searching through old books and even resorting to the Internet, the gang had some more information on The Chosen One.
"She doesn't sound so dangerous" Damon said slamming a book closed after he had found nothing of use in it.
"I don't know Damon, that mustn't be true. Here it describes the Slayer as..." Elena began to read "A young female bestowed with mystical powers that originate from the essence of a pure-demon, which gives her superhuman senses, strength, agility, resilience and speed in the fight against forces of darkness" she said closing her book, giving Damon a told you so look which he didn't like.
Bonnie and Caroline came through the door, holding a few books "There wasn't much on them in any of the Grimwars, but it seems Witches and Slayers were on the same side most of the time..."
"Most of the time?" Jeremy asked as Bonnie sat down, turning to a page
"It says here in the 1940s, a Slayer had fallen in love with a Vampire and the Vampire had then been killed. The Slayer did all that she did to get the Witch to bring back the Vampire but she refused, and that had been the end of the alliance between Slayers and Witches..."
Elena sat down next to Bonnie and Caroline, still letting the news sink in "That poor girl" she said aloud, turning everyone's attention on her.
"This is what she has to do? all of her life? Kill Vampires? She has no choice?" she kept asking questions, wanting to hear answers. Elena felt that herself and the Slayer had some twisted connection, both destined to have a life filled with the Supernatural.
"Well by what I've read so far, it does seem like that" Ric added looking at Elena sympathetically, guessing at what she was thinking.
"Why don't we just talk to Tatum and tell her we're good Vampires and that she doesn't need to kill us?" Caroline asked, desperately looking around for someone to agree with her.
"Why would we go tell a Vampire slayer that we're vampires Caroline?" Damon said rolling his eyes at the blonde vampire.
"Well I was just thinking, maybe if she knew we weren't a threat, he wouldn't need to kill us. Same with Tyler... I'm sure because they're like besties now, she wouldn't kill him if she knew..." Caroline said with the huff, folding her arms and leaning back into the lounge.
"What do we know about Slayers and Werewolves?" Jeremy asked, hoping someone knew so he could let Tyler know if he was in any danger.
Ric started going through some pages, to the one he wanted
"It says here that Slayers and Werewolves were allies. The Slayer would be able to sense the vampires and the wolf would go out hunting with her, and they would kill them together" Ric said finishing what he was reading "They were some Team, apparently".
Jeremy got up from the lounge, an idea popping in his head "That must be the reason why Tyler and Tatum have gotten so close in such a short time, they must have a connection."
Bonnie looked at Jeremy, confused "So does Tyler know that she's a slayer then?"
Jeremy had said to much, but knew it was too late and they had noticed. Damon eyed him
"What do you know Jeremy? Have you told him?"
But before Jeremy could say another word, Damon was next to him in a flash and grabbed his phone "So this is who you've been messaging? And I thought you finally had a girl..." he said chucking it back at him after seeing the message.
"Jeremy..." Elena said but he intupted before she could finish "He doesn't know she's a slayer..."
"What does he know then!" Damon said, starting to lose his cool. Ric, Caroline, Bonnie, Stefan and Elena all stared at Jeremy for answers "I went to him to see if he had sensed anything about Tatum..." Damon interrupted him again
"So in other words you told him we were on a Vampire Hunt and thought it could have been his new girlfriend"
Caroline flinched at the word girlfriend but held back her emotions "Look Tyler doesn't know what she is..." he started to say but then had nothing else to say.
They all thought in silence until Ric read something else out again from one of his books "It says here, the Slayer is drawn to a place where there's alot of mystical and supernatural energy"
Bonnie nodded and rolled her eyes "Well she's in the right place then..." and Ric continued "and the Slayer is usually awoken on her 16th birthday after her 'Watcher' approaches and helps with her first kill"
Stefan folded his arms, thinking "Well if she's here to kill vampires, how come there are still so many bodies pilling up on us. It's got me thinking, maybe she hasn't been awoken yet..."
After the gang discussed their latest findings, they needed to figure out how they were going to handle this Slayer situation. Damon had voice his opinion, he wanted to get rid of her and by that he meant killing her but no one had agreed with him.
"Have you's been paying attention? She's a Slayer, we're Vampires and if the legend is true, we're not going to last much longer. We need to take her out."
Elena looked at Stefan for him to say something to his idiotic brother but it was Ric who spoke next "She's a human being and it looks as though she doesn't even know you guys exist otherwise, as you just said you wouldn't be here".
Elena was fed up with this conversation, she felt as though Tatum deserved to know what she was "We have to tell her" Elena said unfolding her arms, looking to her younger brother who nodded, agreeing with her.
Damon shook his head side to side "I like not being hunted by a Slayer".
"She has a right to know" Elena said, once again looked to Stefan who had been rather quiet, standing beside Damon but he looked down at his feet, then meeting her eyes
"I think Damons right here Elena. We don't know if she knows about us, if she's been awoken"
This time Jeremy stood up, anger growing inside of him
"Yeah but she still needs to know Stefan and when we tell her, Tatum will see we're on her side." Ric nodded but then started thinking "We can't just blurt it out to this girl, we need to get close to her. Just to make sure she has no idea... we need someone to get close"
Bonnie put her hands up as if to say no way "Do as you guys want, but Slayers and Witches aren't friends so I'm leaving it up to you guys". Jeremy felt the urge to volunteer himself but before he could say something, Caroline piped up.
"Tyler"
Damon and Stefan looked at eachother "Uh uh, no way are we getting Wolf boy involved. He chose his side when he ran off with his dogs..." but Stefan disagreed
"I think we should inform Tyler what's going on. If we do, in the future he may do the same if anything about the Wolves come up."
Stefan, Damon, Elena and Jeremy headed to the Grill to find Tyler. Once they arrived, Damon, Stefan and Elena stayed at the bar as Jeremy went to find Tylerand they had told Jeremy not to mention to Tyler about the alliance between the Wolves and the Slayer just yet.
Damon started tapping his fingers on the bar, started to lose his patience
"Where is this Chosen One anywho, I want to see what the hype is all about" he added with a hint of sarcasm. Just then a female voice spoke "It's Elena right? Jeremys sister?"
Damon, Stefan and Elena turned and Tatum was standing, smiling at them.
"Yes, thats me and this is my boyfriend Stefan and his brother Damon. This is Tatum" Elena said, raising her brow at Damon, who was taken back by the petite Blonde.
"How are you settling in to Town?" Stefan asked politley as Elena watched Damon, making sure he was behaving. Tatum noticed Damons blue eyes staring her down.
"So Tatum, seen anything weird lately? he asked, not being subtle at all. Elena coughed, making Damon roll his eyes and re phraise the question "What I mean to say is, welcome to Mystic Falls I'm sure you'll fit right in here".
Meanwhile Jeremy had finally found Tyler and began filling him in... "She's not a vampire, but she's a Slayer a Vampire slayer". Tyler laughed, not believing a word of what Jeremy was telling him.
"You're kidding me right? First you all thought Tatum was a Vampire but now she's apparently a Vampire Slayer. That girl couldn't take down a V if her life depended on it."
Jeremy moved in a bit closer, whispering "Slayers aren't good to mess with Tyler. We don't know much about them yet but Tyler you should know better than to judge a book by its cover."
Jeremy left Tyler by himself, walking over to the others, quickly saying goodbye to Tatum as she walked back over to Tyler. Tatum stopped, looking back over her shoulder at Damon who contined to watch her as he left. Tatum felt an odd feeling, she had no idea what it was.
"You up for another round?" she asked Tyler as he approached her. He shook his head, looking at the time "Nah, rain check" he replied, grabbing his coat and headed for the exit.
Tatum wondered why Tyler had left so abruptly, maybe he was too scared of getting beat by her again? Or maybe he just wasn't into her? Tatum shrugged it off but her mind kept going back to how she had left around the Salvatore brothers. Tate had never felt such a thing before, she knew it wasn't good but evil.
Next time - There's a party at the old cemetary but its on a Full Moon...
Tatum seeks out Tyler through out the night but regrets the decission when she see's something she wish she could take back.
