Chapter Four: "Your life is pathetic. Your after-life doesn't have to be"

Damon moved over to where Katherine was being held, and crossed his arms over his chest as she looked up at him with a wide grin.

"I knew you'd be here soon enough." She said as she turned and looked at him, her eyes widened as she saw the blood of blood he was carrying. Reaching her hand out she beckoned him to give it to her.

"Not yet, I have some questions for you."

"I already told little miss Elena what I had to say about the moonstone." She said as she looked at him and then smiled.

"Or is there something else?" She said as she sat there staring at the blood. She wasn't going to tell him anything, but that blood looked so good. Damon waved the blood a bit as he stood there enjoying the power he had over her before he squatted down to her level.

"Do you know a vampire by the name of Calista?" Damon looked at her, studied her, trying to see if she was going to tell a lie or not. Katherine just looked at the blood and shook her head

"That's a terrible name and no, I don't. Blood now." She said as he reached it out to her before quickly pulling it back, making her made. Damon shook his head and made some tsking noises.

"Not so fast. Are you sure you don't know anything about her, like who turned her or why she is here?" Katherine looked up at him and then laughed, shaking her head.

"Someone's got a crush on a weaker vamp it seems. Look, I'm stuck here, what's the point in lying? It's not like I turned her, I'm in here remember." She said before she rolled her eyes.

"Give me the damn blood Damon." She said before he tossed her blood.

"Thanks for the information Katherine, it was a real help." He said before he stood up and made his way out of the darkness and over to his car. Pulling out his cell phone he called Stefan.

"She doesn't know anything about Calista and Calista only knows of Katherine, which means they are either lying, or they aren't in league with each other, either way I should keep an eye on Calista for a while, take her under my wing."

"So that's what you're calling sex now, taking her under your wing. As long as she isn't trying to kill Elena, I'm all for you keeping an eye on her. Bye Damon."

"Yeah whatever bye." He said before grinning. He couldn't wait to give Calista a call, he managed to get her phone number while he was in her home and He wanted to make sure she felt completely welcome here in Mystic Falls, and there was only one way to do that. Dialing the number he picked up from Calista's house he waited until her voice echoed a hello.

"Hello there Callie. This is Damon. I feel bad about the first time we met, I didn't give you the proper greeting, let me do it over."

"What's in it for you? Surely, you aren't doing this out of the kindness of your heart…what's the catch?" She said as she was grinning from ear to ear on the other side of the line.

"What's in it for me? You really mustn't know me, because I love seeing sexy women, and anything that allows me to stare, I'm in." He said laughing a bit.

"Don't make me come over there." He said as he was getting into his car.

"Mmm, maybe I want you to come over. I like it rough." She said and laughed.

"Meet me at the bar in twenty, and wear the jeans you wore to my house, I like to look at your ass in them." Callie said before hanging up.

"Oh I like her." Damon laughed and shook his head before heading over to the bar.
