I promised myself that I would get this out, so here it is. I've been writing a lot of things recently, so I will try to get these updates out as soon as possible!

Thanks to all those who reviewed, I'm glad that you liked it! I really appreciated your comments!

Without further ado, here's the next chapter...

Chapter 2

Drinking some alcohol, Damon smirked. Loud music pounded, being shoved out of speakers around him. He was at The Grill. One of his favorite places to be. Music, pool, alcohol, fresh pumping blood...

Bonnie hadn't done that spell of hers yet and so he figured that he must have been right in his assumptions. It was most likely something bad. Still, he didn't know if the watch would work in his favor or not. It wasn't like Damon often carried around things that weren't his. The closest he had had at the time had been that watch. Technically it was Stefan's along with his. It had been a family heirloom back in the day. They had shared it throughout the decades...

Taking a last swig of the wonderful, burning, brandy, Damon stood up and exited The Grill. He decided that he might as well visit that party that the school was having. His brother was supposed to be there and Damon never missed an opportunity to mess with his little brother.

B.G.

The night's events quickly began to spiral out of control. Damon had started to become suspicious of the Lockwoods. Tyler was beating everyone at arm-wrestling, only to be beaten by his uncle. He set his brother against him, curious of the out comes. Mason proved to have more supernatural strength. Damon had thought that his brother hadn't even tried.

Then there had been Caroline. She was "released" early from the hospital and claimed to remember everything he had done to her. She was a vampire and could not have possibly spoken the words she had at a more worse time. Katherine had sent her. Damon was having a hard enough time coping with the whole Katherine epidemic, but this... this was just too much.

Confusion, anger and hurt had all welled back up to the surface and Damon acted rashly. He compelled the first person he saw to attack Tyler Lockwood and find out if this supernatural strength was genetic. No longer wanting to be uncertain about anything. He wanted to not be blind to things and just figure them out before it was too late. That was his first mistake. He and Stefan witnessed firsthand Mason Lockwood's inhuman abilities as he jumped higher than any human possibly could and his eyes changed a weird colour.

His next mistake was not worrying as much about Caroline as he should have. She was a vampire now and most likely did not know her own strength... or her own hunger. Drowned in his own misery, Damon was too preoccupied worrying about Katherine to think of anything else. Hungry Caroline attacked the now bleeding man that he had compelled to attack the Lockwood boy and get hurt in the first place.

It was too much for him to deal with. The Lockwoods being some sort of Ninja Turtle... Caroline being a vampire... Katherine having never cared a out him. He was overwhelmed by the revelations that had shown to his now hurt mind.

Now, standing with a shovel in front of a dead body and a vamped-out Caroline, blood dripping down her face, Bonnie just staring at him, he knew that he was in trouble. Time seemed to slow as she gave him that hated look.

Pain erupted in his head and Damon fell to the ground, groaning in misery. He could distantly hear Elena's pleas to her friend to stop, but the witch would not. Somehow, this was all his fault. A hose sprayed water at him and the next thing Damon knew, he was on fire. Literally on fire. Uncharacteristic agonizing screams escaped his mouth. All he could think about was the pain.

When the fire finally died down, Damon risked a look up at Elena's witchy friend. She was glaring down at him, the promise of future pain imminent in her eyes. 'As soon as she's gone, you're dust', they seemed to be saying.

When Damon finally arrived at home that night. He wanted nothing more than to lie down and never wake up again. Collapsing on his bed, he closed his eyes, having not the slightest inkling what morning would bring...

B.G.

Bonnie was suddenly happy of her decision to prepare in case Damon did anything bad. He was a murdered and only she seemed to see it. She couldn't believe how Elena had just protected him like that! They were all falling for him, but she wouldn't. She would not allow people to get hurt. To die.

Opening her spell book, Bonnie began to chant. She was within a circle, drawn on the floor with special sand given to her by Grams. The candles flickered at the spell grew intense. Lying in the middle of the circle was a watch engraved inside with the names Damon and Stefan Salvatore.

Ok... Still not as long as I normally have my chapters... Odd. I would make it longer, but this just feels like the right place to stop. Don't you agree? Well, I do apologize for the shortness of that. ((Scratches head)). I've been rather distracted lately with all the ideas that come with watching a new thing and actually loving it.
