The Grill
Sherriff Forbes was sitting at the bar when a blonde woman came up to her.
"Sheriff? Hi, I'm Mason Lockwood's friend, from Florida."
"Jules right?"
As they were talking, the Winchesters walked into the Grill and made their way to the bar. They'd been doing some research and kept a distance from the Sheriff and the other woman. They listened in las much as they could.
"Yeah. Is there any news?" Jules asked Liz.
"No one's heard from him. I have the investigation open, as soon as we hear anything I will let you know."
Dean looked at Sam, both wondering the same thing. Who was missing?
Liz stood and left the bar, leaving Jules alone.
The boys looked around, hoping to maybe go talk to the girl when they noticed another guy who looked suspicious making a phone call. What he said however surprised them.
lllllllllllllll
Alaric watched closely as Sheriff Forbes left. He picked up his phone and dialed Damon's number.
'Hey Damon. The Wolf is at the grill.' Then Alaric hung up.
Dean and Sam made their way to a table behind Alaric. This town was really strange...and they'd seen a lot. They noticed another guy making his way over...he was a lot younger. He sat down across from Alaric.
llllllllllllllll
Stefan sat down across from Alaric, and motioned to Jules.
"Is that...?" he trailed off.
"Yeah yeah, I just called Damon."
"You doing his dirty work for him now?"
"He's trying to find a cure for Rose. I couldn't find anything more except that it is fatal."
"Can you get in touch with Isobel?" Stefan asked him.
"Even if I could, she won't help." Alaric answered.
"I know, but Katherine said Isobel knew about Klaus."
"So this is about Elena, not Rose." Alaric stated.
lllllllllllllll
Dean turned to Sam as the two men continued their conversation. They noticed Stefan head towards the door finally.
"Dude what is going on? Wolf? Cure? You think werewolf?"
"Yeah I guess. Why would someone need a cure though, do you think there's a cure to being a werewolf like there was for becoming a vampire?"
"I don't know Sam. We probably need to ask the Sheriff more questions. I don't know if all this purgatory/alpha stuff is the cause or if this town friggin' crazy. I mean what's with the names...Klaus? Sounds almost demonic...or just old."
Sam nodded, and they both stood up to go find Liz.
llllllllllllllllll
Stefan ran into Damon as he was leaving, he made sure to stop Damon from going any further.
"What are you doing here?" Damon asked him.
"Waiting for you. Listen, there are a lot of people here...and there were two new people here I've never seen before..."
"Oh Damn. There goes my plan to rip out her spleen." Damon said, rolling his eyes.
"I know you're upset about Rose but..."
Damon interrupted him.
"Why does everything think I'm upset about it? I am fine. I don't know if you know this but sometimes vampires die. I'm gonna go have a friendly little chat with she wolf brother, ease up."
Stefan didn't say anything back, but moved to the side to let Damon through. Wether Damon was lying or not didn't matter, because Damon would do what he wanted no matter what Stefan said.
Damon walked up to Jules.
She knew he was there immediately.
"Well if it isn't the one I meant to kill." Jules said. "I'll make sure to get it right next time."
"You won't live to see another full moon...not unless you tell me how to cure a werewolf bite, and then I won't kill you."
"Promise?" she asked.
"Yep."
She pretended to think about it for a second.
"Bite me." she finally said. She stood up and made an attempt to leave. Damon stood and caught her arm.
"I am not afraid of you." She told him.
"Then you are very very stupid."
"How's your friend? Rose...was that it? Have the chills started? The unbearable pain?"
"If there's a cure, tell me or start watching your back." he threatened.
"Did I mention the dimentia? It'll start eating away at her brain...You want a cure?"
He nodded.
"Take a stake and drive it through her heart." she told him, unsympathetic.
Jules pulls away from him and leaves. Damon doesn't go after her, but makes a mental note that he is definately going to rip that bitch's heart out.
Salvatore house, Damon's Room
Elena leads Rose to the bed slowly. She's steadily getting worse, much weaker than before.
"I hate this. First, I'm a vampire I haven't had a cold in the last 3 years, and second I didn't have to be taken care of even when I was sick."
Elena wasn't going to back off though.
"Just get in bed."
"Vampire's don't get sick you know...if we die it's supposed to be sudden not drawn out by illness."
"You're not going to die." Elena told her stubbornly.
Rose laid all the way down and Elena brought the sheet over her.
"Such a human thing to say."
Elena ignores Rose's negativity and looks around the room.
"You've never been in Damon's room before..." Rose stated instead of asked.
Elena picks up a book and is a bit surprised, but tries hiding it. It's "Gone With the Wind."
"Not what you expected?" Rose asked.
"It's just a room with a bed...maybe I expected silk sheets."
The two of them shared a laugh.
Silk sheets...yeah that would've been nice. Rose thought, remembering how not too long ago all she worried about was having nice expensive things and money. So much had changed in the past 3 years. Now she knew that it never really mattered...no amount of money had ever saved her.
"You're lucky." Rose said. "No one's ever loved me the way you're loved."
Elena didn't beleive her. Rose had been a good friend to Damon ever since she got here...she had to have someone who loved her before.
"I doubt that." Elena told her.
"No, it's true. I've spent the last several years running to stay alive...and before that I wasn't a the best person to get along with because I was trying so hard to get myself out of the choices that I made. I just never wanted to let anyone else in to my f**ked up life...I never trusted anyone, and now trying to set up roots isn't really compatable with being a vampire. Elena why are you so eager to give all this up?
"I'm not giving up on anything." Elena argued. She grabbed the glass of blood and handed it to Rose. "Here drink this."
"Really...then what's with this deal with Elijah? Take it from me deals never end up the way you want them to."
"It's my best option."
"No. It's your easiest option." Rose frowned. She couldn't understand why Elena would willingly put herself in harms way...didn't she understand that she was hurting her loved ones more this way than if they all fought together.
"That's not fair."
"You really think that the moonstone was destroyed?" Rose asked her.
"I spoke to Bonnie, and she had the help of another witch, and that happened to be Elijah's witch so no, I don't."
"You really are determined to die...you know atleast I fought my impending death when I was human...you're not even trying."
Rose closed her eyes to rest. Elena was visibly shaken at her words. She was surprised that Rose gave a damn about her.
lllllllllllll
Dean and Sam had caught up to the sheriff.
"You said you take care of vampire and werewolf problems, so why is it that you have to keep asking me for help."
"Because something else is going on here. The stuff we are hearing isn't what we normally deal with. So many vampires in one town, not to mention what seems to be other supernatural things going on..." Sam told her. He didn't really want to mention the werewolf thing they'd found since the Sheriff seemed out of the loop on that one.
"Look, if you want to ask questions what I'd suggest doing is talking to Damon Salvatore. He's been handling the vampire problem for me for a while now. He'd probably know more than me."
"Salvatore?" Dean asked. He'd heard that Alaric guy call someone named Damon about the 'wolf'. Maybe they were hunters?
"Yeah. I think he was at the Grill earlier so he's probably not home. I can get you his address for later though." she told the boys.
"Great thank you." Sam said.
