A/N thank you all so much for your comments, I'm glad you all like it. I'm still getting used to the site since I'm new. I'm sorry it took me so long to repost, but I had so much school work and exams to study for that I only found time till now. To answer some of your questions, yes, this is a Buffy Damon pairing. I was finally able to post them as the main characters. And yes, buffy is going to be even stronger, I'm going in the BTVS storyline of her gradually getting stronger through all of her obsticles. Well, here's chapter 2. Hope you like it. :)

Previously,

She heard something and quickly turned around. Her heart sped out of control. A figure appeared from the shadows.

She braced herself as the figure appeared. It could have been some demon, vampire, but she had to be ready. To her relief it was only Damon.

"And what's a pretty thing like you doing here?" He asked with a smirk on his face.

"Get away from the world. Have a break from everything...just...trying to get a chance to breathe." She answered honestly.

He came and sat next to her. Her heart sped because she knew he was a vampire, but, he can't know who she is. It'll be Sunnydale all over.

"Well, if thats what your looking for, than try a bottle of bourbon. Works miracles." He said with his signature smirk. Buffy couldn't help but laugh.

"I don't usually drink."

"Well if you ever change your mind, you know where to find it."

"Tell me. What are you thinking about? You don't know, I may surprise you" he told her in a playful yet sincere voice.

"And what makes you think that I'll tell you?" Countered with a playful smile.

"Well, seeing someone in a graveyard sulking about whatever it is your hiding, doesn't exactly scream stable."

"It's just...my past." I reluctantly told him.

"That's just it. The past. So don't dwell on it. Think of the now." He answered her sarcastically.

"What about you Damon Salvatore? Whats your story?"

"Well, I am a very interesting person. Me and Stefan are brothers, as you knew. Our parents died a long time ago, and now, I'm moving on."

She contemplated wether to ask or not, but being her stubborn self, she did.

"So..you and your brother. Talk about the tension. Was it always like this? I mean, you know hard?"

He paused caught up in his own thoughts, and finally decided to give her a brief explanation.

"No. No it wasn't. In fact, we were the best of brothers, the Salvatore brothers. Nothing ever got between us...except her. Her name was Katherine. Both me and my brother loved her. Our brotherhood went downhill from their."

"Do you still love her? Katherine?"

"No. She died, it was a very long time ago."

Buffy could feel the tension rise, so she divided to change the mood.

"Geez, talk about moving on." She said sarcastically. He only gave her a smirk. "I better get going."

"Do you need a ride?"

"Umm, sure, I'd love that."

They went into his car and he drove her to her house. They got out of the car. Buffy opened the door, went inside and turned around.

"Thank you." She told him.

"Anytime."

She closed the door and went upstiars. She knew who he was. No matter what, she would never invite a vampire like Damon in her house.

Damon wakes up Stefan.

"Rise and shine. You'll be late for school." He said.

"What...What are you doing?" Stefan asked.

"Peace offering. Come on you need it for blood circulation. Does dead flesh good. All right. I'm Sorry."

"Step aside, please."

"I got the town off our back. It was for the greater good but I'm sorry. And to prove it, I'm not gonna feed on a human. For at least a ...week. I'll adopt a Stefan diet, only nothing with feathers."

"Cause I realize that killing your closest and oldest friend is beyond evil, and yet somehow, it's worthy of humor."

"Are you mimicking me?" Damon asked.

"Yes, Stefan. Now that the secret society of vampires haters is off our back, I can go back to my routine of how can I destroy Stefan's life this week."

"And I can go back to sulking and Elena-longing and forehead brooding. This is fun . I like this."

"And I will finally reveal the ulterior motive behind my evil and diabolical return to Mystic Falls."

"Yeah, I'm done. That's just like you, Damon. Always have to have the last word." Damon teased before turning around and walking out the room.

The next day Buffy was with Caroline, Elena, and Bonnie in history class.

A fairly tall man with dirty blonde hair and plenty of stubble walked in the room.

"Good morning, everyone. All righty." He began writing his name on the board then moved to the side. "Alaric Saltzman. It's a mouthful, I know. It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. "Saltzman" is of German origins. My family immigrated here in 1775 to Texas. I, however, was born and raised in Boston. Now. The name Alaric belongs to a very dead great-grandfather I will never be able to thank enough. You'll probably want to pronounce it "Al-arick" but it's Alaric. Kay? So you, can call me Ric. I'm your new history teacher."

"He seems like a nice guy." Buffy said about the new history teacher.

"Better than the last one." Caroline added.

"What ever happened to him?"

"He- he died." Bonnie told her.

"Oh my god. How- what happened?"

"Blood loss. It was an animal attack, and he lost a lot of blood." Bonnie tried to explain. They all agreed that they wouldn't get Buffy involved in the Supernatural business what-so-ever.

Animal is right. Vamps are animals, Buffy said to herself.

Buffy came out of the school to the campus. She saw Stefan sitting on a table and went over to him.

"Hi." He said.

"You weren't in class today. I was worried."

"I just wanted to be alone for a while."

"You knew him didn't you? The coach?"

"Yeah."

"Stefan I'm sorry. But if it makes you feel any better, my last town wasn't exactly the picture of paradise." Buffy said with a slight smile.

"Thank you."

"Anytime."

While Buffy and Stefan were talking, Damon came up to Bonnie.

"Ok. It's your last chance." Damon told her with a smirk.

"I'll scream." She said nervously.

"Oh no, don't do that. Let's stay on point. I want my necklace."

"You can't have it."

"I can't take it but you can give it to me. I'm trying to help you here."

"I don't want your help."

"You do want my help, and you don't even know it. You know why, you little witch? Cause you've stumbled into something you need to stumble out of."

"Just leave me alone or I swear..."

"Don't. No threats. A, you hurt me last time. B, I wish you no harm. Believe it or not Bonnie, I wanna protect you. Let me help you get Emily off your back."

"How do you know about her?" Bonnie asked.

"Is there a problem here?" Buffy asked walking to them.

"No. No problem." Damon answered her.

Buffy looked at him. "I was talking to Bonnie." She turned to her and Bonnie said it was fine.

"You should get out of her Bonnie." Buffy suggested.

"Thanks." When Bonnie drove off, Buffy looked back at Damon.

"Don't you dare threaten her again, got it?"

"You got guts for a little thing." He said slowly walking forwards her. But Buffy wasn't Bonnie. She stood her ground and crossed her arms.

"Oh please. Damon, you can't hurt me. And I won't let you hurt Bonnie." She finally said and then left him there.

Damon is drinking at the bar in The Grill, and Stefan walks up to him.

"So Stefan...You know, I've been thinking. I think we should start over, give this brother thing another chance. We used to do it, oh, so well once upon time." Stefan said.

"I don't, Damon. I can't trust you to be a nice guy. You kill everybody, and you're so 're so mean,and...You're really hard to imitate, and then I have to go to that lesser place." Damon teased.

"Can I get a coffee,please?" Stefan asked the bartender. "So what's with the bottle?" He faced Damon again.

"I'm on edge. Crash diet, and I'm trying to keep a low profile."

"You could always just leave, find a new town to turn into your own personal gas and sip."

"I'll manage. You don't have to keep an eye on me."

"I'm not here to keep an eye on you."

"So why are you here?"

"Why not? Plus, I brought a friend to help us bond." Buffy came in from the entrance of The Grill and headed to the brothers.

"Buffy." Damon said.

"Damon." She mocked.

"Lucky shot." Damon said about Buffy's shot.

Buffy, Stefan and Damon were playing darts.

"More like great skill." Buffy countered him.

"You're beating me." He said.

"Yeah. It's because she's better than you." Stefan told him.

Damon moved Stefan to the side as Buffy took the darts out. "I'm onto you. Reverse psychology. It's a little transparent, but I admire the effort." He told his little brother.

"You prefer the brooding forehead?"

"Seriously, what game do you think you're playing?"

"That's a funny question considering the fact that I have been asking you that for months. It's frustrating isn't it?"

"Touché." Damon said to his brother.

Buffy left the Salvatore brothers to patrol, but told them she was tired. Stefan dragged Damon with him to the school.

They were on the football field.

"What are we doin' here?" Damon asked.

"Bonding. Catch!" Stefan said throwing Damon the football. Damon caught it and walked forwards Stefan.

"Go on. Give it a try." Stefan told him.

"Don't forget who taught you how to play this game." Damon said. He threw the football and ran after it in vamp speed, then tackled Stefan.

They bother fell on the ground looking at the sky, next to each other.

"That hurt." Damon moaned.

"Downside of my diet...getting hit actually hurts a little bit."

"I'm impressed Stefan. Fun with booze and darts, getting Buffy with us, sentimental with football, and now starry night." Damon sat up. "What do you want, Stefan?" Stefan also sat up.

"It wasn't real, Damon. Our love for Katherine. She compelled us. We didn't have a choice. Took me years to sort that out, to trully understand what she did to us." Stefan told his brother calmly.

"Oh, no Stefan. We are not takin' that on tonight." Damon got up and start to walk away.

"What do you want with Katherine's crystal?" What Stefan asked stopped Damon and made him turn around.

"How do you know about that?" He asked his little brother.

"Come knew Elena would tell me."

"How do you know it was Katherine's? Emily gave it to her on her last night. I was with her, and you weren't."

"I was the last one to see her, Damon. Now, what do you want with Katherine's crystal?"

"She didn't tell you?"

"We had other things on our mind."

Damon moved in front of Stefan in a heartbeat. "I could rip your heart out and not think twice about it."

"Yeah, I've heard that before." Stefan calmly said.

"I have a bigger surprise, Stefan. I'm gonna bring her back." Damon finally said then walked away.

Stefan followed Damon.

"How can you bring Katherine back?"

"Before Katherine and the others were killed in the church, you remember what it was like in this town?"

"I remember the fear and the hysteria."

"Townspeople were killing vampires one by one. When they came for Katherine, I went straight to Emily, said,"I'll do anything. Name your price; Just protect her."She did."

"How?" Stefan asked.

"She did some kind of spell with the crystal. And while the church was burning and we thought Katherine was burning in it. She wasn't."

"But I saw her go inside."

"There's a tomb underneath the church. The spell sealed Katherine in that tomb, protecting her." Damon explained.

"Are you telling me that Katherine's alive?"

"If that's what you wanna call it. She's been trapped in a mystical holding cell for the last century and a half, but you're an expert on starving a vampire, so how do you think she's doing, Stefan? Did you know that witches can use celestial events to draw energy into their magic? Me either. But in order to give the crystal its power, Emily used the comet that was passing overhead, and in order for that crystal to work again..." Damon let Stefan fill in the rest.

"The comet had to return."

"Downside...long time in between comets and a couple of hiccups along the way with the crystal but the comet passed, and I got the crystal. And then Caroline got the crystal, and now Bonnie has the crystal and here we are."

"Why would Emily...why would she do this for you?"

"Because she knew they were gonna come for her, too, and she made me promise that her lineage would survive."

"I saved her children."

"It's the only thing keeping me from ripping that little Bonnie girl's throat out to get my crystal back. Well. A deal's a deal. So...you wanna go throw some more?"

Damon was at the Fell's church.

"Hello Emily. You look different." Damon said to a possessed Bonnie.

"I won't let you do it."

"We had a deal."

"Things are different now. I need to protect my family."

"I protected your family. You owe me."

"I know. I'm sorry."

"You're about to be a lot more than that."

When Damon tried to move towards her, she uses her powers to stab Damon to a tree.

While Buffy was patrolling when she heard someone getting knocked into a tree. She ran over to see Damon stabbed with branches, pinned to a tree.

She helped him off, and took the branches out of his body.

"It hurts." He groaned.

"Yeah, well it's what you get for going around killing people." She told him.

"What?" Damon was taken aback when she said that, but their conversation was cut short when a possessed Bonnie came up to them.

"Who are you." She asked.

"Buffy, you?"

"What are you doing?" Damon asked Buffy. Stefan approached them.

"Stefan." Emily said.

"Hello Emily."

"These people don't deserve this. They should never have to know such evil."

"What do you mean evil?"

"Emily. I swear to God I'll make you regret this." Damon threatened.

"I won't let you unleash them into this world."

"Them?What part of the story did you leave out, Damon?" Stefan asked.

"What does it matter?" Damon shrugged off his brother.

"Emily, tell me what you did." Stefan asked her.

"To save her, I had to save them." She told him.

"You saved everyone in the church?"

"With one, comes all."

"I don't care about them. I just want Katherine." Damon pleaded to the witch.

"I knew I shouldn't have believed a single word that comes out of your mouth. This isn't about love, is it? This is about revenge." Stefan said to Damon.

"The two aren't mutually exclusive." He countered.

"Damon, you can't do this." Stefan said.

"Why not? They killed 27 people, and they called it a war battle. They deserve whatever they get."

"27 Vampires, Damon. They were vampires. You can't just bring them back."

"This town deserves this."

"You're blaming innocent people for something that happened 145 years ago."

"There is nothing innocent about these people, and don't think for a second it won't happen again. They already know too much, and they'll burn your little grandwitch right next to us when they find out. Trust me."

"Things are different now." Emily said.

"Don't do this." Damon begged of her.

"I can't free them. I won't. Incendia!" Emily began a spell to destroy the crystal.

"No! No please." Damon screamed.

"Bonnie!" Elena came out of nowhere saying.

"No!" Damon said.

Emily throws the necklace into the air and destroys it. Emily departs from Bonnie's body. Damon was reckless and used his vampire speed to run over to Bonnie and bites her.

Buffy rushes over, just as fast as Damon and pulls him off.

"She's alive, but barely! Stefan you can save her!" Stefan rushes over by Buffy, bites his wrist and feeds Bonnie his blood.

"Her neck. It's healing." Buffy said.

Buffy, Bonnie, and Elena where in Elena's car.

"I don't understand, what happened to me?"

"How do you feel? Are you okay?" Buffy asked.

"I'm fine. It's just this blood. I don't..." Bonnie tried to explain.

Stefan came up to them.

"Buffy how did you get here?" Stefan asked.

"I'll explain everything, Stefan. Okay? Let's just get out of here. Trust me."

"Ok, let's go." Elena said. I'm gonna tell them the truth, Buffy told herself.

Buffy, Stefan, Elena, and Bonnie were at Elena's house in the kitchen.

"Ok so, this is gonna be hard to say." Buffy started. "I've...I've been keeping something from everyone."

"What is it?" Elena asked.

"I'm not just a normal girl."

The doorbell rings and Jenna answers the door.

"Hello Jenna." The man at the door said.

"Logan." Jenna was shocked.

"Aren't you gonna invite me in?" He said and gave a wicked smile.

Hope you guys enjoyed chapter 2! It took me a while to write, but it decided I should make my chapters be longer by putting more detail of the TVD episodes in. Please R&R! I would love to here all your comments and suggestions. I will hopefully put up the next chapter soon:)
