Chapter Seven: "I´m a vampire, what´s your excuse?"

Callie crossed her arms as she stood beneath the light near the bar. She really didn't want to leave Damon. That fine piece of ass was really getting to her. She couldn't get enough of those eyes, and those muscles. Everything about him made her want to jump his bones, but that would have to wait. The more she teased him, the more she drew him in. Looking straight ahead she nodded as a car pulled up and someone was pushed out. A shaking man walked up to her and avoided looking her in the eyes. She arched a brow and moved up to him and lifted his face to force him to stare at her.

"What is it they want?" She hissed as she gripped the man's throat tighter. The man made choking noises before he stuttered a response.

"They-they want to let you know they-they are expecting results soon. They-they wan-want you to-to talk to your sister." Callie growled and moved over to him.

"You tell the elders, this is a time sensitive mission and the chances of me getting to my sister while she is captive are low. Either they send someone to get her out of there or give me time to work on Damon more. There is potential in him." She said her eyes compelling him to do so.

"Now go!" She said and practically threw him to the car, which sped off into the darkness. She sighed as she ran her hands through her hair and looked around. She then turned on her heels and started to walk home.

Damon lay in his bed, his arms behind his head. He couldn't get that damn girl out of his head. He sighed as he closed his eyes, trying to forget about Callie and focus on Katherine. There had to be some way to get Katherine to spill the beans while she was locked up. Maybe Callie could help with that, he would have to ask. That would also give him a reason to call her if she didn't call him tomorrow.

Callie awoke with a start, she was sweating and she felt as if she was on fire. Her hands had clenched the sheets of her bed before bolting upright, nearly jumping out of her seat. Looking around she ran a hand through her jet black hair and growled. She knew these dreams, they weren't average dreams, it was a message from the elders, more specifically, Klaus. She tilted her head and stood up, moving down the stairs for a glass of blood. She knew Klaus wasn't going to like her message, but she never knew he would send one of them to Mystic Falls, and more importantly, her ex-boyfriend, Elijah, she had a fling with him a while back, but truth was he was boring, and nowhere near as attractive as Damon. Elijah hated Damon, and didn't think her plan was smart, so when he arrived, there would be a fight, and she had no intention of losing.

Katherine lay on the cold cave ground, mumbling to herself how annoyed she was, and how bored she was. She didn't care about staying her; after all she was safe in here. She knew the elders would arrive sooner or later and she didn't want to be around when that happened. As she lay there, she heard the arguing above ground. Great, more visitors, couldn't she just have some peace and quiet? Rolling her eyes she turned her head to see Stefan standing there. Sitting up straight, she ran her hand through her hair, still trying to look better for him; after all she still loved him. Stefan tossed her a bag of blood, to keep her going and then approached her, remaining far enough away from her for a decent conversation. Crossing his arms he crouched down low to talk to her better and shook his head.

"You look pathetic." He said as he observed her downing the blood like it was a fine wine. She glanced his way and made a hissing noise.

"You do to, bribing the prisoner to get information." She said as she tossed the now empty bag back over to him. She didn't want to see him, more importantly; she didn't want him to see her looking like this. She sighed and leaned back against the rock.

"What do you want?"

"Just wanted to see how you were doing."

"Bull-shit. You don't care about my well being. What do you want?" She said harshly.

"Fine. I'm just giving you warning; if you are trying to plan something, don't even try it. Just because you have friends in high places doesn't mean you can try to ruin my life. Just give up already."

"I'm in a cave Stefan. I am not trying anything." She said and shot him a daring gaze.

"Go away." She snapped and turned away from his gaze. Stefan looked at her and then stood up; he knew she had to be up to something. Sighing he moved out of the cave and over to the car. Elena sighed as she looked out of the window. Stefan let her come with to visit Katherine but she couldn't go in the cave, which pissed her off. Turning she saw him walking back to the car and then straightened up.

"Well?"

"She said she wasn't trying anything."

"Of course she did. Katherine had to have sent Callie here; no new vampires come here just because." Elena said as she leaned back.

"I know, but maybe it was someone else, Katherine isn't the oldest vampire out there you know." Elena ran a hand through her hair. They remained silent the entire ride back to the boarding house. Damon was pacing back forth because Callie hadn't returned any of his phone calls. No woman has ever ignored his calls. He turned his head sharply as Stefan and Elena entered the room. Damon tilted his head, stood up, and halted right in front of the two of them before he took off out of the house. Stefan looked at Elena and Elena back at Stefan before they started laughing.

"Someone is falling hard." Stefan said before he sat down to have some quality, drama-free time with his girlfriend.

Banging on the door of Callie's house, he was pacing back and forth wondering what was taking her so long. Just as he was about to bang on the door once more, Callie swung open the door and looked at him with a quizzical gaze. She was wearing a baby doll night gown, practically naked in front of him, and looked as if she had just woken up.

"To what do I owe this morning call?" She said arching a fine brow before crossing her arms over her ample chest. Damon's mind lost all control of the anger he had and he just smirked.

"Pardon the interruption; I wasn't aware I was getting in the way of your beauty sleep." He said before he looked at her curiously.

"Would you be willing to go somewhere with me, to meet someone?" He said wondering if she would be up for it or not.

"Who are we going to see?" She said as she leaned a bit closer to him.

"Katherine…an old friend." He said as she broke her straight fact to smile.
