"Bye. Dont let the door hit you on the way out." I shouted from the kitchen to Damon and Caroline, who had finally found it time to go. I lent against the counter staring at the steam flowing from my hot chocolate, blowing lightly and sipping. No vocal response was heard from the leaving couple but the banging of the door indicated they had left. Footsteps made their way to me. I looked up and smiled at Elena and Stefan.
"Not leaving with your brother?" I questioned.
He shook his head. "No. We don't really get along."
"Yeah, i kinda noticed that."
"I'm sorry if Damon was harassing you in here earlier." He apologized.
"I dealt with him. He's an arse, but there is a small...and i mean miniscule part of him that is, maybe the tiniest bit likable." I dropped one hand from my mug and put my index finger as close to my thumb as i could get but still leaving a small gap, showing step i did mean a small part.
Stefan smiled at me. "That does sound small." He joked. "I, erm, actually should probley get going." He rubbed the back of his neck and have me one last smile before turning to Elena who had made her self some coffee.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked walking up to her. She turned around and smile.
"Yeah." She gave him a kiss and showed him to the door, I walked with them heading for the stairs. Stopping at the bottom.
"Goodnight, Elena. Night, Stefan."
"Lils, i like your necklace. Is it new? I don't remember seeing it before." Elena casually asked as we weaved in and out of students looking for Stefan. I glanced down at the Ruby red locket that hung comfortably around my neck, bringing my right hand up and touching it gently.
"Yeah, a friend in florida gave it to me." She glanced over at me before spotting Stefan standing with his back to us.
"Ooh. Look at you. You look hot in your jersey." Elena teased him from behind, making him turn.
I scoffed. "Everyone looks hot in a jersey." Stefan laughed and Elena glared at me. Shrugging innocently i looked around trying to find Vicki. "What? They do."
"What happened? No more cheerleader?" Stefan asked.
"I quit. I'm a quitter."
"True." I said.
"No, hey you're not a quitter. You suffered a great loss." He started.
"And that's my cue to leave. Good luck tonight Stefan." I left them to their heavy conversation and went in search of my own friends.
"I forgot how boring these things were." I whispered in Vicki's ear who laughed in response. Tyler walked over to us but his eyes were behind us...On Jeremy.
"Is that Jeremy?" He didn't wait for a reply and stormed towards him. Me and Vicki hurried after him pulling on him arms.
"Ty, forget about it. Come on." I begged.
Jeremy jumped down from the bed on a truck and sauntered towards Tyler.
"Oh, don't look so down. You can have her when I'm done." Tyler assured. I balled my hands in to fists, willing my self not to punch him, but Jeremy beat me to it. He swung at Tyler hitting him square in the jaw, and then it went crazy. Both were on the floor throwing punch after punch.
"Tyler, stop it! Tyler, Stop!" Vicki yelled over and over again. Stefan come over and grabbed Tyler off of Jeremy.
"Hey, he's down! Enough!" Stefan's voice boomed. Again he's gained more appreciation from me, Before anyone knew what was happening, Jeremy went at Tyler with a large piece of broken glass, Stefan pushed him out the way and the glass sliced through his hand like a hot knife in butter. Elena rushed forward.
"What the hell, Jeremy? Put you head up, you're bleeding." She tilted his head up but he shoved her away.
"I'm fine!" He snapped.
Elena scoffed. "Yeah, you smell fine." Jeremy glared at her before barging his way through the circle of people who had surrounded them.
I had to get away from everyone, way too many people to be around right now. I lent against the Boot of our car and closed my eyes and breathed in deeply. When i reopened them, they connected to a piercing blue pair. I jumped and my right hand clenched at my chest.
"You scared me." I breathed. "What do you want?" I asked once i had my breathing under control.
"A lot of things that i can't have, but right now to hide from Caroline."
"Why?" I asked.
"She talks more than i can listen." He shrugged.
"That, would be a sign." I acknowledged. I turned away and dug through my pockets looking for the keys Elena begrudgingly gave me.
"I'm sorry if i make you uncomfortable. That's not my intention." He said sincerely.
"Of course it's not, Damon. You'd never do anything like that." I replied sarcastically. He grabbed the tops of my arms and pinned my back to the passenger door. I glared at him.
"It's not my intention, but i do have one...But so do you." His eyes locked with mine. "You want me. I get to you. You find you self drawn to me. And right now...you want to kiss me." His pupils diluted as he stared at me and started to lean in. I push him away and smacked him across the face.
"And there goes that miniscule, likable part." I muttered to myself angrily. "Look, i don't know what your problem is, but you need to back the fuck off." I harshly shoved past him, he seemed to shocked to stop me. Once i had but several metres between us i turned to him.
"I get that you and Stefan don't get on, but tormenting him and Elena is a wrong move. And another wrong move and i wont be afraid to do something about it." He frowned as he studied me. his eyes landing on my necklace.
"Katherine's in the past, okay? Whether you've moved on or not. Stefan has. So leave him be!" His eyes flared at the mention of Kathrine, but he'd pushed me. "You probley think that if you can't be happy, then neither can Stefan, but your ruining my sister's happiness and let's get one thing straight...I wont allow that. Do you understand me?" His frown remained as he very slowly nodded. I walked around to the driver's side of the car and got in. Driving as far away from Damon as possible.
3rd person.
Stefan stood there after Matt had finished speaking to him and Damon waltzed out from behind the building smirking.
"Isn't that nice? Stefan joins a team, makes a friend. It's so, 'Rah. rah, go team, yeah!'" He joked sarcastically.
Stefan repeatedly shook his head. "Not tonight. I'm done with you." Stefan went to walk away but Damon stopped him.
"Nice trick with Elena and Ann. Let me guess... Vervain in the necklaces? I admit i was a bit surprised. It's been a while since anyone could resist my compulsion. Where'd you get it?" Damon Approved slightly but still didn't like not being in control.
"Does it matter? But i haven't given Ann anything yet." Stefan's eyebrows creased together in confusion. Damon scoffed.
"Yeah, sure. She's wearing a necklace that has the scent of vervain on." Damon raised his left eyebrow at his younger brother. " And you telling me you have nothing to do with it?" Stefan nodded just as confused as Damon seemed to be. "Then why's she wearing vervain?"
"I don't know. Elena wasn't she's never even heard of it before, so how did Ann get ahold of it." Stefan though for a few moment before he had a light-bulb moment. " She left town for a while. Only came back 2, 3 days ago." Damon's smirk returned.
"And your saying prehaps she made a friend." Stefan stayed silent, processing his thoughts. "Well i guess there's only one way to find out what she knows."
"No! You're not gonna hurt her!" He snapped.
"No?" Damon asked.
Everything happened so fast. One moment, Stefan was trying to convince Damon that he still has some humanity and the next Damon was feeding from Tanner. Draining him dry before dropping him to ground. Damon smiled but it wasn't a nice smile this was vicious, his mouth and teeth covered in blood. He looked like a rabid animal. 'That's what he is' Stefan thought angrily. 'I was wrong. There is no shred of humanity left inside him'
3rd person.
Lillie lay there fast asleep. She went straight up to bed when Elena came home with the new of Mr Tanner. She didn't like him but wouldn't wish Death on anyone.
Next to her sleeping body stood Damon Salvatore. He didn't know what he was doing here, but something about her drew him in. When he said earlier about her being drawn to him, in all honesty it was the other way around. He looked down at her analysing every part of her he could see.
'What makes her so special?' He asked himself before leaving the room.
