Bloodstream: Alliance
A Vampire Diaries and Teen Wolf Crossover (A Rowena Mikaela Devereaux story)
Ch.2 You Wanna Feel How It Feels (Running Up That Hill - Placebo)
Mikaela POV
Now:
"Stiles, I swear! Give it back!" I hollered at Stiles. It was a very crazy day at the bar people were fighting (more than usual), and all I wanted to do was talk to Derek, shower, and go to bed. Speaking of Derek he was texting me at the moment, Stiles took my phone and wouldn't give it. "Oh, let's see who you've been texting 'honey, I'm home.' And who did you send that to; let's see oh it's under the name… 'Wolfy.'" Scott and Stiles gave a WTF? Look. My face was beet red as I snatched it from Stiles who kept repeating "Wolfy?" I climbed up the stairs as I flipped him off. I ran into my room as I shut the door and leant against it as I shut my eyes and took breaths to calm down.
"What's got you so…flustered?" I jumped as I heard the voice and looked at my window where the new balcony (I made Scott and Stiles make it) was and saw Derek leaning on my window. "Gosh! You scared me! Get in here, I have nosy neighbors." I walked up to him and dragged him in. "Well, are you gonna answer my question?" My face heated up as I utter, "It's a stupid reason." Derek insists "so what is it?" I answer "just something that Stiles said." Derek rolled his eyes and said "it's definitely stupid if Stiles said it."
Now I rolled my eyes and playfully slapped his arm. I lay down on my bed and Derek lye down beside me, his head in my direction watching me. In the past month Derek and I's friendship had somehow strengthened we constantly were talking, and seeing each other multiple times in a day. Even my aunt Melissa seemed to notice his presence. Scott and Stiles insisted that he was stalking me, but in reality I needed no I wanted to see him, even if I didn't admit to anyone but to myself, I know that no one would understand hell even I don't understand yet. But being with Derek, it he made me feel…something happy and that's something that I want in my life.
"So…how are you?" I chuckled and said "the same as I was half an hour when you called." Out of the corner of my eye I saw his lips turn up at the corners. I stared up at the glow in the dark stars (again I made Stiles stick them up there) as I said "but thanks for asking." He nodded and said "so…I have a question…" I looked over at him and said "shoot." He hesitates a moment before asking "you're not over him… are you?" I took a deep breath, turned away and kept looking at the stars and then I closed my eyes and waited for the hot burst of pain to flare in my chest at the mention of him, but was surprised when I only felt a sharp pang and nothingness that followed. I opened my eyes; I glanced at Derek and said "I'm working on it." I felt him move closer and ask "can you tell me what…he did, who he was?" I took a breath and said "I don't know if I can." He wrapped arm around my shoulders and said "as much as you want." I looked at up at the stars. The warmth coming from him calmed me down, and relaxed me more than I thought it would, and I found myself saying "okay."
"You wanna feel, how it feels?
You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me."
He patiently waited as I gathered my thoughts, "his…his name was Da…Damon Salvatore. He was a heartbroken guy, and was rough around the edges. He was tough, persistent, cocky, dangerous, badass, funny, sarcastic, wicked, seductive, witty, fierce, wild, mischievous, sensitive on occasion, and above all snarky." There was a pause of silence and Derek asked "so…you two were serious?" I scoffed and answered "there was no…us. He never saw me that way. We were best friends nothing more nothing less." Derek hesitates and asks "but the way you speak of him it's almost like…you two were soul mates or something." I laughed and said "no, I mean, I didn't even know I was in love with him, until well later and the same day I found out that he was in love with someone else. I didn't stand a chance but I tried, a-and I tried so hard…"- I cut myself off as a pang went through my heart. Derek held me tighter and said "you don't"- I cut him off.
"You don't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies."
"No, I'm okay. Um, anyways you remember I told you werewolves aren't the only supernatural things out there?" He nodded. I said "well…there are vampires"- Derek tensed and I continued "and witches. Also, there is another type of werewolf."
Derek took a breath and asked "what?" I answered "yeah. These werewolves can only change on full moons and there bones break, and it takes hours for them to change. Their bites are fatal to vampires. I don't know if your type of werewolf bite is fatal to vampires. Anyways Damon and his younger brother Stefan they're vampires"- Derek cuts me off "so if I bite him, he might die?" I roll my eyes and answer "maybe I don't know, but I wouldn't try. Damon's known for ripping people's hearts out of their chests." There was an awkward silence that I had no idea why until I repeated it in my mind and I realized how it sounded so I explain "literally, he would rip their hearts out."
Derek whistled and said "okay… so vampires?" I smile and say "they are powerful, they have immortality, speed, strength, and they can compel you- which means that if you're human they can manipulate your mind like- mind control." Derek took this in and asks "and weaknesses?" I answer "there's a type of plant that harms them, it's called vervain, and if you wear it they can't compel you. He actually gave me a locket laced with vervain to protect me against other vampires. Anyways, um…wooden stake kills them; sunlight burns them unless they have a witch perform a spell on a lapis lazuli jewelry. I think that's about it, and witches are strong enough too. Nothing happens to them unless they try to use more powerful spells and well, they're basically badass. You do not want to go against a powerful one." Derek remarks "I'll keep that in mind." I chuckle and say "well, Dam-on and I knew each other for 4 years and he told me to move to Mystic Falls with him, and I mean we were so close so I moved with him and basically he slowly fell in love with Elena who is his younger brother's girlfriend"- Derek scoffs and raises his eyebrows and asks "so how did they…change? Are vampires made or born?" I smile as I say "well, they're made. They all came from the Originals a family of vampires whose mom was a witch and changed her kids into vampires with a spell." Derek has a thoughtful expression, and asks "so her kid's the…Originals they bit humans and so on the vampire race was continued?"
I laugh and respond "yes and no. Her kid's- the Originals- they continued it, but to turn you have to have vampire blood in your system and then die and then drink human blood to end the transition you only have if I remember right I think it's 24 hours." Derek remarks "that's a long process."
I say "you're telling me. That's how vampires are made; Damon told me half the story and I found the other half out by Stefan of how they were turned. The year was 1864, a woman Katherine Pierce or by her birth name Katarina Petrova was supposedly an orphan and the Salvatore's allowed her to live there. Katherine was obsessed with Stefan as he was with her; Damon who dropped out of the Confederacy, went to his home and he also fell in love with Katherine and she just played them. To make a long story short Katherine never cared for them only herself. The town's people learned of the vampires so they hunted them down and including Katherine. It was Stefan who told on Katherine by the pressure of his father and Damon never forgave him. So when the town's people came for her Damon tried to stop them, but Stefan wouldn't let him. Later that night when she was in a carriage Stefan and Damon unlocked the carriage and were rescuing her when they were shot. They died, but the night before Katherine had fed them blood so they had in there system and they woke up later."
Derek asks "so what happened to the other vampires?" I respond "all were taken to some tombs under the church and it was set on fire. Everyone was believed dead, but Damon made a deal with Emily Bennett, a witch he would protect her kids from death if she saved Katherine. She agreed so all the vampires were locked in and saved. Vampires who don't get blood in their veins become corpses, they were alive but looked dead."
Derek asks "so why didn't he get her out?" I answer "because to open the tomb you supposedly need a witch, a crystal, and some comet that only comes every 145 years. Anyways, later when we opened the tomb Katherine wasn't there. We learned that she made a deal with a guy. The deal was she would give him a stone to him if he freed her from the carriage." Derek asks "but weren't Stefan and Demon killed when they tried?" I say "yes. They were found but George Lockwood sneaked her out."
Derek asks "so what happened to Stefan and Demon?" I rolled my eyes "well, once Damon figured she was dead he was going to wait those 24 hours and die, but Stefan wanted to live. Stefan confronted his dad and killed him by draining him; Stefan and human blood are like a pot head and pot. Then, he went to Damon with a girl who was bleeding and pushed her into Damon who couldn't resist and drained her. Damon didn't want to live forever if it meant living without Katherine. Damon promised to make Stefan's life miserable because of it."
Derek says "he couldn't resist? Right." I shake my head at him and say "okay, you haven't eaten in days, you're that hungry… and someone offers you a steak, you just gonna leave it?" Derek shakes his head and says "no." I say "now you know their story, Katherine came back to Mystic Falls because she was running from an Original. Elena was the doppelganger, because she looks exactly like Katherine, the exact replica. We learned that werewolves existed well, those types of werewolves, and of a curse." Derek asks "a curse?" I answer "yeah, we believed it to be true but turns out it was for a different curse than we thought. Katherine was trapped in the tomb by Damon and Stefan. That night where they trapped her there was a masquerade party and a witch bonded Elena and me to Katherine"-
Derek asks "bonded how?" I reply "if she died, we died. If Katherine was hurt we were hurt, and so the witch made Katherine weak and Damon placed her in the tomb, but that night I was giving Elena a ride when we were ambushed by some guy. The guy was compelled to kidnap us by Rose, and Trevor; they were two vampires. Later, we learned that Trevor helped Katherine escape and that their whole lives they had been on the run. They tried to turn us into Elijah but we were rescued by the Salvatore's." Derek asks "so then what happened?"
I clear my throat and look away as I say "when they saved us I realized my feelings for Damon were more…I realized I didn't just love him, I was in love with him. Elena's brother, Jeremy, and I were great friends. Everyone judged him because of the drugs, but I didn't, so he found out about the kidnapping, and made me stay over that night. That night I was in the bathroom getting ready for bed when… I heard Damon tell Elena that h-he loved her and he compelled her to forget. After that I just, was frozen and when he left, I just…had a breakdown, Jeremy found me like that and I told him everything."
"There's so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
"Jer took care of me that night, and I'll always be grateful, so if he's ever in trouble he is one of 5 people I would go back for." There's a second of silence and Derek says "well, I'm gonna need to meet him one day." I laugh.
I explain "Stiles kind of reminds me of Jer. I guess that's why I sort of immediately became close to him." Derek chuckles and I continue "but back to this. After that I decided to take a stand and try to win over Damon, but I couldn't he was in too deep with Elena. I mean I practically did everything but scream 'I love you' out loud. At the time we had no idea that Elijah was related to Klaus."
Derek interrupts "Klaus being?" I embarrassedly flush and say "oh, right. Well Rose came to the boarding house where Damon and Stefan lived. I had an apartment. Rose told us basically that Klaus was the oldest vampire ever, and that he was looking for us." Derek tenses and his arms become tighter and he says "why?"
I sigh as I say "I was getting to that. So Klaus in order to break the curse-the curse we believed- of the sun and moon needed a doppelganger, a witch, a vampire, a werewolf, and of course the moonstone." Derek asks "so then what?" I say "cut it short we daggered Elijah, Klaus found us but didn't kill us then, we un-daggered Elijah. The real curse was placed on Klaus, he was a hybrid. His mother had an affair with a werewolf which made him a werewolf and when she turned Klaus into a vampire along with his siblings he was a hybrid so another witch placed a curse on him to keep his werewolf side at bay. That was what the real curse was, and he was trying to break it. My best friend Caroline and her boyfriend Tyler were going to be used, Caroline a vampire and Tyler the werewolf. After Damon saved them Tyler bit Damon on accident and then Klaus killed a werewolf, Jules, Elena's aunt, and Elena. Elena came back to life with a spell. Once Stefan told me Damon was dying we both made a deal with Klaus for the antidote. Stefan and I agreed to do anything Klaus wanted and he sent me to take Damon the antidote. When I did I saw Elena and Damon kissing…I knew then that no matter what I did Damon would always love Elena. So I gave Damon the antidote and a locket he gave me and reported back to Klaus."
Derek was motionless and didn't speak so I continued "when I came back Stefan was feeding on blood bags, and what Klaus wanted me do to do for him was to tell him what was the thing I wanted the most, and it was to leave Mystic Falls. So, Klaus compelled me to leave. The only family I had was the McCall's, so here I am." It was quiet and I turned around to see Derek who was looking at me. After a while my face flushes as he keeps looking at me with that burning gaze and I awkwardly scratch my arm and asks "what?" My voice is soft. Derek gently runs a finger down my jawbone and answers "Damon doesn't deserve you. No one does, you're too good for anyone." I inhale sharply and say "Der"- he cuts me off and says "no, Mika. Listen to me. Salvatore was stupid to let you go. Angel face"- there goes that pet name. He continued with a smirk as he saw my disgruntled expression "he sucks. Anyone who'd choose a girl who looks like the bitch that played them, well it's just sad. If some girl looked like Kate I wouldn't go and love her, I'd hate her for that very reason."
I chuckle as I say "yeah, well Damon is known for being somewhat insane, and impulsive." Derek lightly smiled- yes he smiled. I said "well, let's hope there isn't someone who looks like her. So…." I turn my body to the side so I was facing him, and Derek watched me. Once I was settled he said "so…" I rolled my eyes and said "well, how are you handling Seth?" Seth being the Omega, Derek had turned him 3 weeks ago. Derek blew out a breath and said "you don't want to know," I smiled as I gently slapped his arm and said "yeah, I do. Seth isn't so bad." Derek says "only you, angel face, only you." I laughed and said "what's that supposed to mean?" Derek turns his head and looks down at me, smirks and says "you see the good in everyone. No matter whom it is." I respond "and that's bad?" Derek's smirk turns to a soft smile as he stares at me for a minute and he replies. "No…..it's one of the things I love about you."
"You, you and me
You, you and me won't be unhappy"
My heart started hammering, and I knew that my face turned an unattractive scarlet. I saw Derek move on to his elbow's and hover over me; then he tilted his head, cocking his ear at my direction and my heart hammered faster as my faced flushed more and I knew he could hear it. I licked my lips and stopped breathing; I didn't know what to think. Sure, Derek and I were close now, but Damon was a wound I was trying to heal. Then why did this feel so right? My heart pounded and I could hear my blood rushing to my heart and body in my ears as Derek's face came closer to mine and he looked at me with such intensity that my throat went dry; I couldn't think at that moment I just- I just wanted Derek, Damon who? And with that thought I closed my eyes. I felt Derek's hand on my cheek and then I felt his warm lips ever so gently graze my own. My eyes fluttered open and I saw him cupping my chin with his right hand and holding himself up with his left hand as his eyes were closed, and I saw him about to continue the kiss so I closed my eyes again. His lips brushed against my own again as he opened his mouth as mine did to accept his-
My door swung open and I heard "Mika! Scott's"- My eyes sprung open as I pushed Derek away and scrambled up. Stiles and Scott stood in the doorway. Scott was holding on to the door he had swung open his expression bewildered. My face heated as I realized how they would react. Stiles sputtered "but-Mika-you-Derek-Scott-just-but-how-when….what?" I hushed him as I said "Stiles, listen to me." Stiles now paced in front of me, Derek appeared next to me like a shadow. I glanced at him but quickly averted my eyes when I noticed he was staring at me. I grabbed Stiles arm and said "Stiles stop, you're gonna give me a headache." I looked at Scott who was frozen at the doorway.
I walked over to him; Derek mirroring my steps as I gently grabbed Scott's face in my hand and slapped him lightly. Scott reacted to that as he jumped startled and Stiles stopped pacing. Scott closed his eyes and when he opened them they were yellowish and amber as a low growl vibrated in his chest as he glared daggers at Derek and said "I warned you!"
Scott's face and body morphed into his wolf form. I gasped and turned to Derek who morphed and threw me back. I hit the wall at the side of my room, my head taking most of the impact. I watched through blurred eyes as Scott snarled and Derek gave him a warning growl and then Scott launched himself at Derek. They grappled as Derek tackled Scott down and they rolled and went through my window. Stiles ran over to me, saying "Mika! Hey! Are you okay? You're bleeding!" I slowly get up with the wall's support and walk out of my room. I try to run down the steps as my vision blurs and I felt something wet and sticky as I removed my fingers from the side of my head I saw the crimson blood. Stiles ran behind me and said "Mika! Get back here! We can't go out! You might get more hurt! Mika!" I ran out where I heard the snarls I ran into the forest- more like limping- I raced through the trees. If I leave them out here they'd kill each other. Curse my short legs, and five feet three inches! I ran where I heard the snarls and came in to see Derek straddling Scott saying "Scott! Control your wolf! Scott! Calm down now!" I heard Scott whimper and still his movements as they changed back.
Stiles came up to me breathing hard as I was, Derek stood up and walked up to me. I was going to walk to Scott until Derek shook his head as he placed a restraining hand on my shoulder and said "give him time to cool down." I looked at Scott and then I hurt Stiles blurt "Mika's hurt!" I glared daggers at him as Derek immediately started checking me over asking questions. Before I could answer he swept me off my feet, literally. I heard Stiles shout but couldn't make it out as Derek ran through the forest and I held on for dear life.
Derek jumped in through my window and took me to my bathroom in my room placing me on the sink counter. He ran out and came back with the first aid kit I had bought for Scott and Stiles some months back. Derek said "tell me what hurts." He inspected my head wound and I flinched when he touched a tender part. He said "it's not too deep so, no stitches." He moved between my thighs and started to clean the wound with peroxide. He dabbed at the wound and flinched back when I felt the burn and he mumbled "do you want it to get infected? Stop moving."
I stopped moving and grabbed his side and squeezed it when I felt the burning sensation. Pain, I was okay with but stinging or burning I didn't like. As he wrapped a gauze pad on my head, he said "sorry, for the…" he motioned to my wound. I said "it's okay. If you hadn't pushed me I would have been puppy chow." I laughed as Derek rolled his eyes. As he finished he placed his hand on both sides of my thighs and looked at me with green eyes burning. I gulped and felt my heart pound faster as Derek says "about what happened earlier…" he trailed off. My face heated as I licked my lips. I looked at his lips in excitement and fear. I didn't want to get hurt, or hurt him, but a while ago it felt so right. Derek glanced at my lips and said "maybe we shouldn't-it shouldn't have"- I cut him off as I pressed my lips against his.
"Come on angel
Come on, come on darling
Let's exchange the experience"
My heart raced as my mind did. I wrapped an arm around his neck and the other held onto the counter my legs wrapped around his middle. Now, I wasn't bold with guys at all, I didn't put myself out there, so I was vulnerable at this point.
He didn't move and I felt rejection wash over me as I was about to let go Derek pushed himself further into me and wrapped a hand in my hair and one on the mirror frame. Derek deepened the kiss. I was new at this so I just followed what Derek did timidly. As I opened my mouth for Derek, he plunged his tongue into my mouth as our tongues intertwined. I felt his hand in my hair pull softly on it. Derek's tongue explored every crevice in my mouth. I heard a crack so I pulled away gently as I gulped in a lung full of oxygen and Derek rested his forehead against my own.
I closed my eyes and was breathing hard as was Derek and I opened my eyes and smiled at Derek who was looking at me. Derek gave me a hint of a smile, and I unlocked my legs from around him and let my arms drop as he took his hand out of my hair. I looked at the frame of the mirror and saw Derek's claws had come out and imbedded into them and tore a piece off, he retracted them. I looked back at him and he shrugged and said "I'll fix that. Alpha urges." My face turned red and I smiled at him as I moved to get down and Derek helped me. As I walked with a limp, I asked "so you still think that"- I motioned to the bathroom "shouldn't have happened?" Derek said "I never thought that. How else was I supposed to get you to kiss me?" I looked at him to see him smirking and I punched him in the arm as I said "you ass!" He chuckled as he put me in bed and said "I know, now sleep." I closed my eyes as I said "will you stay…just for tonight?" I opened them and Derek slid in beside me and said "anything, angel face." I moved so my head rested on his chest and fell into a deep sleep, am I doing the right thing? Was my last thought.
3rd P.O.V
"I know, I know I'm not gone yet, brother" Damon said as Stefan walked down the stairs Elena trailing behind him, Damon was drinking some bourbon. Eight months had passed since Rowena had left and the last month he had been reminiscing and reflecting on his feelings for her. Stefan says "you don't have to." Damon smirks and says "yeah, I do." Elena looks at Damon sadly and asks "because of me?" Damon scoffed "not everything's about you, Elena. Besides you can take care of yourself now, you're a vampire after all."
Elena flinched and Stefan furrowed his eyebrows in curiosity and worry for his brother and asked "if not for her, why?" Damon who had his back turned to them froze and tensed. He wanted to tell Stefan but he had no way of knowing where she was. The last month he had just wandered Mystic Falls remembering where she liked to go. Most of his time was spent at the grill where she loved to play pool and was a bartender for a while. He hadn't heard from her in eight months he was going stir crazy. He needed to sort his feelings though first and that's why he was still here. All his thoughts came down to two: option A, he was lonely and that hadn't happened when she was there or option B he had fallen in love with his best friend and it went by unbeknownst to him.
This morning, ten minutes ago, he had woken up from a dream where Rowena had died in his arms and he'd never been so frightened in his life. It took that nightmare and a month to figure out he was in love with her.
Stefan watched Damon and asked "what is it Damon?" Damon turned to Stefan and motioned to the chair where a suitcase and to duffle bags were. Elena asks "you're leaving? But Damon-you can't leave me…I mean the town and with Klaus alive"- Damon cut her off "I have to." Elena stands in front of Stefan and says "no, Damon. You don't." Damon looks at Elena and tries to remember why he had assumed she was everything he had wanted, when he had had the one for him by his side for four years and he had just let her go. Damon stares at Elena and says "yes, I do. I owe it to her." He looks at Stefan as he says the last part. At this Stefan's eyes widen as he figures who Damon was referring to.
Elena steps up to Damon, "to her? Who, Damon? Rowena? She was the one that left Damon. You don't owe her anything. For all we know she could be dead." Damon looks away then steps back and when he looks at Elena his face is in vampire mode as he snarls "I don't owe her anything? I owe her my life! I owe her everything! Without her I'd be dead! I haven't even tried to look for her, who knows where she could be!"
There is a moment of silence until the vampires hear a window crash and look up. The hybrid Klaus/Tyler had jumped through he says "now that I have your attention, where is she?" The group had figured out what Bonnie did a month ago although they hated that he was alive he needed to be or the vampires died. Damon and Stefan shoot each other looks and motion towards Elena who was beside them; Klaus impatiently sighs and says "not her. She is not important anymore. She's no longer human, she's just a vampire." Elena asks "then who?" Klaus looks at Damon and says "Rowena."
