Alexandra stormed out of the kitchen with Elena following her.

"Alex, Alexandra stop!" the blonde girl turn around to see her friend.

"What, Elena?"

"It is not you. A moment ago you let him win! What happened to you?"

"Life happened, Elena! He said that there is a way to save my life...Damon is the only one who came up with a solution, if it is not for him I am good as dead, Elena..." Alexandra looked away. She wasn't the crying type, but recently she had cried enough.

"I just don't want to die...I have many things to do." Elena hugged Alexandra.

"I will help you to pack your things..."

"Thank you, Elena. I don't deserve you."

"Well you have to promise me that you will not let Damon to win again..."

"You have my word. And if I am living here I am going to make his life miserable..."

"I don't doubt it, Alexandra."

Meanwhile in the living room...

"What the hell is gotten into you, Damon? Are you insane?" Stefan yelled. Damon rolled his eyes, Stefan was always like this, giving him lectures.

"What now, Stefan?"

"You invited Alexandra to live with us! We are vampires, Damon! She is just a human..." Stefan was looking at his brother. Damon was drinking his scotch, not even bothered by Stefan's lecture. "Are you aware of the fact that I haven't gained my control back, Damon? I am still on human blood. Only God knows when I can get back on animal blood. It is hard enough to be around Elena, it is way too dangerous for her. It is a miracle that I haven't lost my control and tried to kill her. And now with Alexandra living permanently with us, I will lose it. I can easily kill her. Not to mention that you can kill her too."

"Well, we will have to try not to kill Alexandra. But if something goes wrong and she ends up dead, it is not going to be completely our fault. The princess has less than a month." Stefan couldn't believe his ears. Last night and this morning he thought that Damon cared about Alexandra. He thought that he saw something more in his brother. He thought that Damon finally showed his humanity. But right now Stefan wasn't so sure what to think. Damon knew that Stefan was speechless, so his brother finally finished his lecture.

"Where are you going, Damon?" Stefan asked as he watched his brother heading to the door.

"It is none of your business, little brother." Damon rolled his eyes

"Well, it is, Damon. Since you can go out and drain somebody..." Damon got angry. In a flash he was in front of his brother. "I haven't killed anybody in a while, little brother. Do you need me to remind you that you are the one who has ripped innocent people recently? Or maybe you forgot that you were Klaus' bitch? For you information I am going to have a drink in the Grill and have a chat with our little witch." With that Damon was gone. No matter how much he hated to admit it, Stefan knew that Damon was right. He heard that Elena and Alexandra headed downstairs. He saw Elena tiptoeing to him, he caught her in his grip and kissed her gently.

"Oh, get a room!" said Alexandra in a bitchy voice. Stefan turned to the girl, he expected her to be angry. But she was smiling widely. Alexandra was a mystery to him. Stefan, in fact, respected her. She was uncontrollable, she has her own opinion and didn't mind to speak her mind. She didn't care what people thought, and intended to do things her way. She reminded him of Damon a lot. Stefan heard the stories about her in school, mainly of their classmates thought that she was complete bitch and she behaved as one. But then he spoke to Elena, Bonnie, Caroline, Matt, Jeremy and Taylor, who said that she was a loyal friend. But Elena also said that Alexandra's specialty was little games. These games were harmless, but sometimes got the blonde into trouble, which she escaped miraculously. But with Damon around, and if Alexandra started a game with Damon, everyone were doomed. Somehow Stefan knew that if Damon and Alexandra start some sick game, then one of them will end up drop dead. He was taken from his thought when Elena said. "Stefan, could you help us moving Alex's stuff here?" Stefan smiled at his girlfriend. He couldn't say no to her." Of course, my love."

"Let's go. Where is Damon by the way?" Alexandra asked. Stefan looked at the girl worryingly. "He went to the Grill. Why are you asking?"

"Curiosity, Stefan..."smirked Alexandra. "You know that curiosity killed the cat, Alex..."

"Elena, curiosity hasn't killed me before, it won't kill me now." Both girls laughed.

"Let's hope so..." said Stefan under his breath.

...

Damon walked into the Grill. He went straight to the bar. Knowing that Jeremy Gilbert was working here, Bonnie Bennett would be around. But the witch was nowhere around.

"How I can help you?" asked the bartender. "Whiskey, make it double." He said to the boy.

"Isn't it early for alcohol?" Jeremy asked Damon. The boy was cleaning a table near the bar.

"Well, for me it is never early." He smirked. "By the way where is your girlfriend, Jeremy?"

"Well, I don't know, I haven't seen Bonnie today." Jeremy got suspicious. Damon never asked for anybody, unless he needed them.

"Why don't you call her?" asked the vampire. Jeremy smirked he was right, Damon needed something and he needed it from Bonnie. "Why should call her?"

"Well, I have to speak with her about something, so would you call her?" Jeremy wasn't keen on the idea to call Bonnie here for Damon's wishes. "About what?"

"It concerns your friend Alexandra, so why don't you call her?" Jeremy looked at Damon. He knew that if it was for Alexandra then it worth it. "OK, I will call her, but for Alexandra, not for you."

"Now we came to compromise. And tell her to be here as soon as possible." Jeremy nodded. Bonnie agreed to come. The witch was in the bar after thirty minutes.

"Well, that was fast, Bonnie. It is good to see you." Damon smirked. "I hoped that I could say the same, but I can't. I am here for Alexandra, Damon." Damon could say that his princess was something like Queen Bee in Mystic Falls. When it came to her everyone was on alarm. While he was waiting for Bonnie, everyone was gossiping for Alexandra. Everybody was asking questions and making up stories. But only her friends knew Alexandra's secret. Some said that she was a bitch, but damn she was bitch. And then it occurred him that the bitch and the dick of Mystic Falls would make a great couple. But he wiped the thought as fast as it came.

"It is about the spell your grandmother did 18 years ago. She didn't explain every detail. So what can you tell me about the spell, judgie?"

"I went through the grimore..." "Good you've done your homework." Bonnie sighed at his comment, but decided not to reply. She was here only for Alexandra.

"As every spell, this one has a catch too. It says that Alex will be in transition on her birthday, which is after three weeks. But she has to drink blood from the vampire, who gave her blood 18 years ago." Bonnie looked at Damon his face lit up when she told him the first and easy part. "Well, it could be worse for example to kill me or torture me." Damon laughed. "I haven't finished, Damon. It also says that Alexandra has to be in peace during the transition. If she is not then she will die."

"What do you mean she has to be in peace?" Apparently Damon didn't get it. "There are many things that disturb Alexandra, but the main thing is her parents' death. She has to find closure, but I know her well, she won't find it until the murderer is dead or in prison."

"So, we have to find a killer, who the police didn't manage to find and to tell her that I killed Zack..." "What has your uncle/nephew to do with Alexandra's peace?"

Damon sighed. "Apparently, my nephew was in love with Alexandra's mother and was pretty close to Alexandra. So I have to tell her. She has already asked me about him and she is going to hate me." Bonnie was confused Damon never cared what people thought of him, but he cared what would her green-eyed friend will. "She has every right to hate you, but you have to make up for her. Save her Damon and she will be grateful. You did a mistake, but believe me Alexandra has done plenty." Bonnie didn't know why she was saying this to Damon of all people. But something was telling her that if there was anyone who could handle Alexandra that was Damon.

"Thank you, Bonnie. You've been more than helpful." The vampire smiled to her. The witch returned the smile. "I did it for Alexandra. Only you can save her."

Damon walked from the Grill. It wasn't going to be easy to tell her everything, but he had to. He had to tell only her. Damon hoped that she will understand. He cared deeply for her. Right now his priority number one wasn't Elena it was Alexandra.
