Hey can't wait for the new episode of Vampire Diaries, how does Elena break the sire bond and does she believe it when they tell her, because lately she has not been much into anything Stefan says! Exciting can't wait! But on to the story well Elena's almost due and I'm not sure what direction to take it yet but I know I'm gonna let her name the baby live or die, giving up for adoption or keeping it. So does anybody have any name suggestions. I like Alexander Damon Salvatore (Alex), but I am open to other names Joseph (Joey), Zachary (Zack) but suggestions would be great.

Chapter 10

Damon had jus arrived in New York he got out his car and shut the door as he was almost run over by a taxi and he jumped back saying "god, I miss the city" as he breathed in the smoggy air. He looked around trying to find Katherine. He spotted her at a coffee shop outside having what seemed to be coffee as she waved to him. Damon walked over and sat down across from her and snatched the coffee from her hands saying "so where are they now." As he took a sip of her coffee he raised his eyebrows and licked his lips saying "only you would put blood into the coffee." She grabbed the cup from his hands and replied "you like? Get your own soy milk caramel macchiato no foam with four shots of Jenny." Damon sat back in the chair and looked around the coffee shop:

Damon: You look right at home.

Katherine: I like it here; it's my home away from home.

Damon: Every where's your home away from home?

Katherine: Be nice Damon, your forgetting you're in my town and I'm the only one who can help you get Stefan back

Damon: (mumbled under his breath) "that's what you think"

Katherine: What was that?

Damon: Whatever you say Ms. Katherine!

Katherine: So, from what I can tell is that Klaus and Stefan have been on a rampage in town. Klaus is a little angry because his hybrids aren't, Well! Exactly turning hybrids, so they came here to find one of the powerful witches that Klaus doesn't have under his thumb.

Damon: Coral!

Katherine: You know Coral?

Damon: (Gives her a disgusted look) Of course I know Coral, when I was trying to get you out of the tomb which by the way total waste of time (Katherine smiles at him) I went through every witch possible, but Coral was the one witch that has power to do the impossible!

Katherine: So what happened?

Damon: Why do you care it's not like you were even in the tomb!

Katherine: Curiosity!

Damon: She wouldn't even meet with me, she won't help vampires!

Katherine: Absolutely right! She hates vampires, but I know a little trick to get to do what I want!

Damon: what exactly could you possibly have on a powerful witch!

Katherine: (walks away from the coffee shop as Damon follows) what's the most powerful witch line!

Damon: Bennett! But Corals last name is Rouse!

Katherine: It's funny that you actually believe that! She got married and never changed after a vampire killed her husband. And I have to say he suffered the ultimate death. So no funny business Damon, I don't want to get on her bad side. We vampires live an eternity and I don't want an eternity of torture and pain. Coral does not believe in revenge, she believes in tormenting her enemies.

Damon: (raising his hands in the air) Hey! I'm here to follow! So how do you get her to do your little bidding!

Katherine: (getting in Damon's car) Bennett witches protect their own!

Damon: (getting in looking at Katherine) you wanna use Bonnie as collateral!

Katherine: (Smiles) Exactly! Unless you know another Bennett witch!

Even though Damon was not the best of Bonnie, he wasn't really up for using her either but, he had to do something to save Elena. He started the car and rode off.

Klaus and Stefan had just arrived at Coral's place she lived in a very upscale apartment that was on the highest floor. As they got off on the floor and walked to the last door and knocked, no one answered and Klaus looked at Stefan saying "she's a little shy!" Stefan smiled and propped himself up on the wall outside as Klaus continued to knock. Klaus began to yell through the door "come on now love, I know you're here. Knocking more and more, he yelled "If you don't wanna help the oldest vampire in time then you could have the decency to say I to my face." Jus then they heard the door locks being undone and Stefan shot up from the wall. The door opened and to the door came this middle aged black woman. As she looked at them and stared took a step back saying "so the great Klaus is still alive." Klaus turned his head toward Stefan and smiled. She motioned her hand and said "oh do come in", as they walked in Stefan kept glancing back at her to see if she had other motives, she immediately snapped at him saying "don't worry I'm not afraid of you so you might as well come on in, you control yourself I keep my witchy powers in tact." Stefan gave a smirk and walked further inside the apartment. Entering they came in and stood in her front room as she walked over to her sofa and sat with her legs stretched out.

Klaus: Coral, you don't look a day over twenty.

Coral: Stop with the entire BS, what do you want?

Klaus: I need you to find out why something isn't working.

Coral: I don't work for vampires

Klaus: That's why I'm asking you.

Coral: (getting up to fix a drink) No

Klaus: I can deliver you the other vampire involved in killing your husband.

Coral: (turned toward Klaus) James! (She was silent for a while and lost but regained life) You bring her to me and I will help you! But Klaus, if you go back on your word this time, I will release this vengeance on you. (She gives Stefan an eye of familiar as she exits the room)

Klaus looks to Stefan and announces "let's be off we have loads to do." As they walk out of the apartment Coral watches them leave still staring at Stefan familiarity.

Damon and Katherine had just reached the building and were entering just as Stefan and Klaus were exiting for some strange reason they had just missed each other. Damon and Katherine proceeded upstairs and walked o the door, Katherine began to knock and before she could finish her knock the door flew open and Coral stood to the door, saying "and what do you want?" Katherine walked into the apartment as if she had been there before and looked back at Damon saying "oh yea Coral if you could please." Coral looked at Damon in familiarity and nodded saying "do come in."

Coral: And what do I owe he pleasure to seeing you, Klaus jus left here trying to get me to do his bidding, seem he has a new little minion.

Katherine: That's no minion, that's Stefan! His brother and my one true (looking over at Damon) two true loves.

Coral: you have a lot loves Katherine, but what do you want.

Damon: What did Klaus want?

Coral: Not sure and not the way I operate, whenever he brings me what I want then we talk about what I can do for him.

Damon: Well I'm gonna save you the time and trouble. Klaus has become full hybrid and he wants to create more. But we have a little problem (smiling)

Coral: He broke the sun and the moon curse. Means he found the doppelganger, which means you know about?

Damon: Exactly right, your great grand witch Bonnie yep! Know her love her but hate her.

Katherine: So who you gonna help! Us or Klaus.

Coral: You don't know what you're fooling with.

Damon: No you don't know the half of it. Your grand witch best friends with doppelganger which by the way is still alive, thanks to her. So do you really want her to come against you because if I'm correct Bennett lines facing off each other means bad news.

Coral: So what do I do!

Katherine: I would suggest you help us find a way to incapacitate him, while we get my beloved away from him.

Damon: Yea something like that without the beloved part!

Coral: (she nodded her head and turned) I do this and you leave my grand witch alone, and I mean Katherine I don't want her mixed into no more of this vampire business, we Bennett's have been slave to you vampires for to long and I promised I would pull us from up under your little wretched thumbs. You think I wanted to live this long!

Katherine: Coral! You have my word I leave the girl alone. (As she exits the door)

Damon: (Is following behind Katherine when Coral grabs his arm) what the?

Coral grabs Damon's arm to get visions she gas in air and begins to see everything Damon has been through. She see's Elena and she can feel his emotions for her, she goes deeper in his mind and sees Stefan and just how much he cares for his brother. She goes a little deeper and she gets the image of when Damon put his hand on Elena's stomach and could feel the baby moving. Suddenly she let go and asked how this is possible, Damon looks at her and gives her a pleading but silent look to not say anything because Katherine was standing there. Katherine turned around and looked at them saying "what's going on?" Coral was quick thinking and used her magical power to slam the door in her face keeping Damon in her apartment. Katherine felt the door air in her face and was very angry and as she tried to push the door open again she was denied access to even touching the door. Coral cast a spell quickly to sound proof the room and walked away from Damon saying:

Coral: Is this what this is about!

Damon: (touching his ears) I don't know you tell me.

Coral: You can speak freely she can't hear us the room has been sound proofed so that she doesn't know of anything. Now tell me how this is possible.

Damon: Like I said before if you could tell me it would be better.

Coral: He is human though!

Damon: From what your grand witch can tell.

Coral: Who is his father?

Damon: Stefan!

Coral: And yet that angers you, you feel something for her! But you love your brother too.

Damon: Let's not go here, can you help me or not! Because if you saw all that then you know what's going to happen to her if she gives birth to him.

Coral: (pulled out a book and opened) If this baby was not of humanity then saving the doppelgangers life would be easy but as you know we witches work with the balance of nature. So the nature would be killing the doppelganger for the child to live. Why hasn't she terminated?

Damon: Because he's human! You hear a heartbeat and you fall in love and all that happiness! What else can be done?

Coral: I'm not sure! I will look for more answers because this does not sound like nature! This sounds like witchery and this is where I have to intervene.

Damon: (grabs Coral's arm before he leaves) I will not let Elena die! So whatever has to be done she lives!

Coral: Trust me, after reading your thoughts I know!

She waved her hand and the door flew open, Katherine was propped against the wall and jumped to her feet saying "took long enough." As Damon walked out the doo with a smile on his face and Katherine gave Coral a look of madness she asked him "what was that all about?" Damon strolled passed her and replied "we're plotting your demise?" Katherine quickly ran behind him saying "really Damon you can't trust her, she hates vampires!" Coral stayed in her apartment and as she closed her door she went back to her shelf and pulled out a big book similar to a grimoire and she opened it to a page that had strange writing with a picture of baby on it, she looked at the picture and said "it can't be?"
