Salvatore House

Damon, Stefan, and Rose stood outside as the lawyer left the house after Elena signed the deed. Elena stood inside the door way, the three of them were about to walk in, but paused.

"Oh right, forgot." Elena said. She looked at Stefan, then Rose.

"Stefan...would you like to come inside my house?" Elena smiled. "You too Rose."

Stefan walked inside. Rose nodded, but stayed behind Damon.

"What are we 12?" Damon asked Elena, a tiny bit amused.

"If I let you in, do you promise to obey the owner of the house?" Elena asked, actually mostly serious.

Rose practically snorted, Damon glared at her.

"No." he said, rolling his eyes.

"Damon." Elena scolded.

"Yes, fine Elena. I promise." he relented.

"Then please come in." Elena told him.

He brushed past her. Rose and Stefan laughed.

"Shut up." he said as he walked by. That made Rose laugh harder. She was about to walk in as well but her phone vibrated. She took it out and looked at the Caller ID. Dean.

"I need to take this...sorry." Rose turned around and went back to sitting on the porch as Elena closed the door.

"Hello?" Rose answered.

lllllllllllllllll

Bobby's place

"Hey." Dean said.

So I take it you found something?

"You were right?"

Naturally...about what?

"We found a way to kill the Mother...ashes of a Phoenix"

Like the bird?

"Well he didn't have feathers..."

There really are Phoenixes?

"Yeah, but rare...in fact we kinda had to go back in time."

I'm sorry what?

"It was awesome." Dean said, grinning. Bela couldn't see him, but she could tell he was excited.

You're serious.

"Yeah...all the way back to 1861."

And you pulled that off how?

"Angel help...Cas sent us back."

So great, you have the ashes...what do you need me to do?

"Can you find her?"

Probably. I'll call you when I find something.

"Okay. So Klaus news?"

Well he had Katherine captured...we assume he has her now. Both good and bad about that I guess. Bonnie has her powers back and more...she thinks she can take him. However, I threw out the idea of you boys using the Colt. They seemed to think it was a good plan B.

"Plan B? They're gonna go with a young witch over the gun."

Well Damon doesn't trust hardly anyone, but Bonnie seems to really think she can do it...so yeah Damon would rather use Bonnie. Besides, what happens if you're still fighting Eve when Klaus shows up. Bonnie's already here, you're not.

"True."

Glad we agree. I'll catch up with you about Eve's location later...

"Okay." Dean said, then ended the call.

"What'd she have to say?" Sam asked.

"She's looking for Eve, so now we wait."

lllllllllllllllllllll

Salvatore House

As Rose walked back in Elena,Bonnie, and Stefan passed her as the left.

She gave Damon a questioning look.

"School" he answered, clearly annoyed.

She nodded.

"I don't get it. We give her a safehouse and she isn't in it."

"She's not going to stop living her life Damon. If she stays here in fear Klaus is already winning. She'll be okay."

He wanted to argue, but he had nothing.

"So, what are you going to do today?" Damon asked, smirking. She smiled, but was going to have to disappoint him if he expected to do anything with her.

"Finding Eve's location. Want to help?" she asked as she sat down on the sofa and started going through her bag.

"You go right ahead. My idea was better." he practically pouted.

"I have no doubt." Rose replied. He sat down next to her as she sat down in front of her old talking board.

"Well who needs Bonnie for the witchy voodoo when we have you?" Damon teased.

"Funny." she smiled. "I have nothing on her. Just basic supernatural stuff."

"Well I'll sit and watch..you do your thing." He said, leaning back. She nodded...but what it looked like was that Damon was doing his best to try and distract her as he made sure the top few buttons of his black shirt were undone. She tried to block him out.

llllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Several hours later Rose was still trying to get the spirits to tell her Eve's location...she'd tried a bunch of her old tricks and still nothing. It was getting frustrating. Another thing frustrating was her endless hunger. She'd downed 3 bloodbags in the last few hours. She wasn't sure what was going on.

Damon walked back into the room where'd he left her. Stefan and Elena would be home soon, and he would feel much better once Elena was in the safetly of the boarding house.

"Still at it?"

"Yeah. Hey are you lusting for blood any more than usual?" Rose asked him.

He seemed a little concerned, but thought about her question.

"Been a little more hungry for it but no not a alot more. Why?"

"I don't know...I feel like I can't quench it as much as usual."

"Weird." Damon commented.

Just then Stefan and Elena walked in.

"We have a problem." Stefan announced.

"You craving blood more than usual?" Damon asked.

Stefan thought about it.

"Well yeah...but that's not what I meant. Why?"

"Rose here said something about her cravings being stronger than usual. Your's are too?"

Elena gave Stefan a look. He hadn't mentioned it.

"Yeah. Maybe it's because Klaus is here."

"What!"

"Had another student give me a message." Elena said. "Asked me to save a dance for him." She said, disgusted.

"This isn't good." Rose said.

"No it isn't." Stefan agreed.

Damon was pissed.

"So, we all go to the dance and find him."

"How?" Stefan asked him. "We don't even know what he looks like."

"Something tells me he won't be 17." Damon said.

There was a knock at the door. Damon went to open it.

"There you are." Damon said as he found Alaric (Klaus) waiting.

Alaric walked in, almost hesitantly at first...but no one noticed.

"Damon I'm going to go change, maybe call the Winchesters in." Rose told him as she headed for the stairs.

He nodded, then turned back to Alaric.

"I need you to put me and Rose down as chaperones for tonight. Klaus is apparently going to be there."

Alaric(Klaus) tried to look surprised.

lllllllll

Damon's bedroom.

Rose had quickly changed, and pulled out her phone. She felt something behind her though and turned around sharply.

Not what she expected...she found Dean, Sam, and Castiel.

"Hey." Dean said.

"What the...I was about to call you."

"It is important we find Eve." Cas said.

"Yeah, obviously..." Rose said, rolling her eyes. "I've been trying all day."

"You're a vampire...can't you sense her?" Sam asked.

"Well it's not like I have some telepathic connection to her Sam. It's bad enough for us right now as it is...Klaus made a move towards Elena today."

"He's here?" Dean asked.

"Somewhere yeah."

"I think that's why the bloodlust is worse. I can't quench the thirst, it's disgusting. I refuse to kill but my head is pounding."

"So we find Klaus now.." Dean said. He didn't want Bela to go killing people, he didn't want to have to hunt her.

"No." Cas said. "It's not Klaus, it's her."

"Eve?" Dean asked.

"Yes. All of Eve's creatures are doing more killing than before, they're instincts are taking over. " Cas stated. Then turned to Rose again. "We need you to tap into that. You can use that instinct to find her location."

"I don't think I..."Rose started.

"You can."

She looked to Dean. He nodded.

"What happens if I tap into this vampire side and the bloodlust is too strong that I can't keep hold of the humanity?"

Dean stepped over to her.

"You will. Of anyone in this room besides you, I know what it feels like. But you'll be fine. And if not, we'll lock you up until we kill Eve."

"Okay." She finally agreed.

Dean smiled.

lllllllllllllllllllll

Rose walked downstairs to where everyone was supposed to be, but only Damon was left.

"You okay?" he asked. He'd heard them up in his room.

"Fine. I'm in control, for now."

"You found her." he stated.

"I did." she nodded.

"They shouldn't have asked you..."

"Yes, they should have." she interrupted him. "It needed to be done. You're willing to have Bonnie do whatever it takes to save Elena, it's no different. Besides, if Eve doesn't die I think this bloodlust is going to get worse for all of us."

He nodded in agreement.

"Where is everyone?" she asked.

"Getting ready. You wearing that to the dance?" Damon asked.

"Dance? No way, I'm not..."she started.

"Yeah, we are. I'm a chaperone, you're my date." he smirked. "I was teasing, you look fine."

"Right." she said. "I can't beleive you're making me go to a high school dance."

"You've never been have you?"

"No. A few formal affairs at schools in England, but no American high school dances."

He laughed. "I'm going to go hurry Stefan and Elena along. We need to get going."

End chapt.
