Bloodstream: Alliance
A Vampire Diaries and Teen Wolf Crossover (A Rowena Mikaela Devereaux story)
Ch.4 I'm Broken Down And All Alone (How-Maroon 5)
Before:
There was a moment of silence until Damon breaks as he parks and says "if either of you tell anyone of this conversation I will rip out your lungs." Caroline and Jeremy nod as they step out and Damon motions between all three of them as he says "this conversation. It never happened." With that they all grabbed their bags and headed to the Originals and Elena and Stefan. "Ready?" Stefan asks and they all nod as they go through the system and board the plane to Modesto, California and rent two cars for the rest of the drive. They would arrive the next day to Beacon Hills.
Mika P.O.V Now:
"Get up Mika! You gotta drop Scott off!" I open my eyes and yesterday's events flash through my brain as I turn and expect to see Derek but he's not there. My heart fell at that I thought he'd at least wait for me to wake up and leave. I sigh and drag my feet over to my dresser. I dug out some girl boxers, bra, cute black jean shorts, a nice jersey, and my gladiator sandals. I rushed to my bathroom, showered, and threw mousse and hairspray in my hair as I towel dried it while eating a muffin.
Scott raced into my room and said "hey are you okay, with what happened yesterday?" I nod and ask "you ready?" He nods as we run down the steps and I see that aunt Lissa had already left. As we buckled up in my 1970 black Charger, I ask Scott "are we picking up Stiles?" Scott nods and I race off to Sheriff Stallinski's. As I arrive Stiles runs out and I wave to the Sheriff. It was weird wherever I go to I always know the Sheriffs of the towns. Stiles jumps in and I say "watch it, this car is a classic!" Stiles and Scott roll their eyes. Stiles asks "how you feeling by the way?" It felt weird; no one ever asked me that question it was always the other way around, well until I got to Beacon Hills.
I say "yeah…Derek patched me up." I was a little upset with Derek at the moment and the guys sensed it because I ask "so…what are we doing today?" Scott shifts in his seat as he says "well, seeing as you're okay, I kind of wanted to hang out with Allison." Stiles scoffs and I look at Scott and say "dude, you haven't hung out with us for months! I say we make it a sleepover." They look at me weird and I ask "what?" Scott answers "if you hadn't noticed Mika…we're guys." I roll my eyes and say "not that kind of sleepover. You know like watching horror and action movies, music, videogames, and snacks."
The guys look at each other and Scott says "well, I would but I kind of promised Allison"- I sigh and say "well invite her over, Lydia can come." Stiles smiled at that. He was still in love with her. I say "oh, and invite Jackson and this Seth guy, I wanna meet him." I pull up at the school and see some kids checking out my car so I wave at them. I kiss Scott on his cheek as he's about to get out and he grimaces. Stiles looks at me expectantly as he gets out. I chuckle and I give him the 'come here' sign and he moves to me. I grab his face and kiss his forehead, and on his nose. He was too cute, for his own good. Stiles grinned at me and asked "so what are you going to do now?" I roll my eyes and answer "what I do every day, go to the bar and work. I'll pick you up at four, and you guys better be here." They nod and I wave as I leave the school.
I had a bad feeling about today, I don't know what but I think something is gonna happen. I drive about 15 minutes and pull in to the back where the employees park. As I get out I felt an excruciating pain in my head and back. This was a new symptom I had recently developed but I had no idea what caused it even after I went to Dr. Deaton. I put a hand to my head and close my eyes as I take deep breaths. Come on, Mika, you can do this. One, two, three breath, there you go. I blink and see a blur shape and I open my eyes, but nothing's there. "I'm getting paranoid." I mutter as I straighten myself out and head into the bar/diner.
3rd P.O.V
"How much longer?" Caroline asks Stefan. Stefan sighs "a few more hours. You should rest, Caroline." She sighs and looks out the window and sees that it was already noon.
Damon kept drinking bourbon, while thinking. Rowena might be a reincarnation of some girl named Farrah but she would always be Rowena Mikaela Devereaux. It disturbed him how he hardly thought about her when Stefan went missing, or when he tried to kill Klaus. He always thought about her when he was alone or Elena would say something to him that hurt.
"I never thought about you much
Till I'm broken down and all alone"
Now, he could care less about Elena all he needed to do was to find Rowena, kill Esther, and take Rowena far away from the Originals. Damon would save Rowena before the bitch Esther even got close to her or he'd die trying.
"I do not mind if I die trying"
He knew that once he saw her he could breathe easily again and he expected her to yell and cry at him, but she'd forgive him after a while and things would be back to normal for them. No matter what he did she always came back and now he knew it wasn't just friendship she was in love with him. He knew her feelings couldn't change over eight months.
"Took you for granted
When you lifted me up"
Hell, it took him one hundred forty something years to get over Katherine. It felt…right for Rowena to be in love with him, after all he finally was too. He wouldn't lie and say it didn't feel good that someone preferred him over Stefan because it did. With that thought he ordered some more bourbon.
Elena glanced at Damon, she knew she did wrong by telling Esther but she never thought Damon would react that way; after all he was in love with her, right?
Jeremy looked out the window lost in his thoughts; he wanted to see Rowena but was afraid that she would hate him for telling Damon…everything.
Rebekah was wondering what kind of mess her long time best friend had gotten in to. And if she remembered her at all.
Elijah in truth was worried for the girl; it was no secret that he and his two brothers had fought over who would court her during their human years. Farrah or Rowena as her name was now had been in the back of his mind for over a thousand years, although when they were younger she had shown interest in Klaus between the three brothers as Finn was always the one who like his mother didn't care for her. Farrah hadn't lead on any brother she said she could court when she was of age and that had been on all of their minds. Farrah had confessed to Elijah that she didn't want to tear the brothers apart and that if she had to choose she would choose him, Elijah. Rebekah had persuaded her to confess it, and not to lead them on. Elijah remembered seeing Rowena when Rose had kidnapped her and her face that lit with something like recognition and confusion. Elijah knew that these memories surfaced because they were trying to find Rowena. He knew that he and his siblings, Salvatore's, and the rest would protect her.
Klaus sat beside Caroline gazing out the window he thought that he alone could have gone to save her; he had just needed the information of her stay. Although many would see him as a heartless monster Rowena didn't. He knew that the elder Salvatore felt something stronger than just friendship, it was impossible not to if Rowena was involved. Rowena had loved the elder Salvatore you could tell from just the two talking or looking at one another. Klaus knew that he and his brothers lost their chance when she died, but now he wondered if this could make a sibling rivalry restart between the brothers and not to mention the elder Salvatore who was beginning to feel for her. He knew the complication of it but he also knew that she wouldn't lead them on, no not like the Petrova doppelgangers.
Stefan was confused on one hand Elena was his girlfriend that he loved, on the other Rowena had grown on him since she was always at the Boarding House; she was like the little sister he never had. Stefan was upset with Elena telling Esther but he couldn't stay mad at her. He was also confused with Damon's behavior, Damon was brooding, and Damon just doesn't brood. This Rowena situation had them all on edge, and he can't help but think there was more to Damon and his feelings then he let on.
Kol was the only one with who didn't look worried. Although on the inside he was conflicted with Rowena he hadn't seen her in a thousand years. He wasn't as worried because the last time he checked she was pretty good at being not found, her only mistake was telling her friends.
Everyone was in their own world as the co-pilot announces that the flight will take a little more than expected because of having no freeway to land. At the news everyone let out a frustrated groan as Damon seethed in his seat.
Mika P.O.V
"So why did you invite everyone but Derek?" Stiles asked me as I fixed my room a little as we were all going to sleep and be here because I had a bigger TV than the living room and my room was pretty big. I had arrived home ten minutes ago and had picked up the guys from school after my shift. I bought a 24-pack of margaritas and 12 pack of beer. Hey! It was a sort of get together anyway, and besides it was a Friday. I had asked permission from aunt Lissa and she gave me the okay and told me she had the afternoon and night shift at the hospital so I was in charge.
I sighed as I faced him, Scott went over to Allison's as I dropped him off so he could have some alone time with her before the 'get together.' I say to Stiles "I just…we…um-look it's complicated. Stiles and I just want to hang out and have fun." Stiles smiles at me and says "yeah well tough luck with Jackson and Seth." I rolled my eyes as I walk down the stairs as he trails behind me. I grab chips and place them on the counter and the drinks in the fridge as I look at the teasing grin and I say "I still don't see why I hang out with you and Scott." Stiles playfully pushes me and says "right. I'm just waiting for the day where you confess your undying love for me." We look at each other seriously before we bust out laughing at the same time and I say "oh crap. You figured out my secret, I am so, so embarrassed Stiles I never thought you'd figure it out. Oh, what will Scott say?"
"What would I say about what?" Scott asks as he and Allison come into view. I turn to them as I answer "that your older cousin and best friend have been having a crazy, passionate, and hot sex affair behind your back." Stiles and I had serious looks on our faces and Allison's face was in shock as Scott looked bewildered and screeched "what?" I erupted into laughter at the same time as Stiles did and I grinned as I said to Scott "I'm kidding! No need to get your boxers in a twist."
Allison joined us laughing as Scott scowled at us I shrugged sheepishly as I ask "so when are the others coming?" Scott checks his phone and says "an hour or so. Jackson seemed to be in a good mood after I told him you invited him over." I rolled my eyes, Jackson was a sweet kid to me but he used to be an ass to Scott and Stiles. I think that he just needs some extra attention from people, not pity because it seems like his adopted parents didn't give him enough so whenever I saw him I usually talk to him. Stiles says "don't tell me I'm going to lose you to Jackson?" I smirked and say "Stiles, honey you can't lose what you never had." I walked up the stairs to get the music and videogames set as Scott and Allison deal with shocked Stiles.
3rd P.O.V
The Originals, Salvatore's, Elena, Caroline, and Jeremy clambered off the plane and rented cars to go to Beacon Hills, they were about six hours left of the journey and seeing it was four they would arrive around at night.
Damon was anxious in just some hours he'd see Rowena after not seeing her for eight months. For the first time in a long time he was in a really good mood, even with the threat of Esther hanging over their heads.
Mika P.O.V Now
"Hey! No double dipping!" I screeched as Stiles dipped his nacho twice in the dip. Stiles whined as the rest of us laughed. Everyone was spread out around my room. I sat on a bean bag chair with Jackson, Seth who I met 2 hours ago had claimed my bed, Lydia, Stiles Scott, and Allison had claimed the couch. We were watching Avatar, you know the one with the blue people, and everyone had gotten there at around the same time as Seth. I remember my conversation with Seth:
Allison, Stiles, and Scott were helping me take the drinks out of the fridge and we were putting them in a cooler which Scott would carry. We were joking around until there was a knock and Stiles threatened volunteered to answer it. As Scott and Alice (my nickname for her) were shamelessly flirting I heard Stiles greet someone and we all followed his story, a teenager following him. The boy who I was introduced to be Seth, was around five feet seven inches, blue eyed, and brunette, and looked to be eighteen or nineteen. He looked at all of us and Stiles had said "oh, Seth this is Mikaela, Scott's cousin and the best lay"- I punched Stiles in the gut as my face burned with embarrassment and I turned to Seth who looked weirded out and replied "don't listen to him, we learned it's better to just ignore him." He smiled at me and said "really? I thought it was just me." We all laughed as Scott pouted and I turned to Seth and said "I like you." His eyes widened a little in fear? The expression changed as he held out his hand and said "Seth, Seth Jones." I took it and said "Mikaela Devereaux, at your service." As we all left to continue with the drinks it almost sounded like Seth muttered 'he chose a good one.' As everyone left for the kitchen I turned to Seth and said "come on, Seth. We could use some help with the drinks."
I turn to Jackson beside me and ask "hey, pass me a margarita would you?" He looks at me and asks "what's the magical word?" I roll my eyes and say "now." He gives me a look and I say "fine. Jackson, you charming, young, handsome fellow would you be ever so kind as to hand me a margarita? Please." Sarcasm leaked my voice as he chuckles and passes me a bottle as he says "you know, I'd believe that if there hadn't been so much sarcasm." I roll my eyes as I shove him and respond "oh, bite me." Jackson placed an arm around my shoulders as he smirked and leaned into me as he replies "I'd love to. Where do you want it?" I shove him but let him keep his arm around me and I felt Seth staring at us.
Since werewolves couldn't get drunk the guys didn't bother much with the beer, but Alice, Lydia and me were killing the margaritas I had already drunk three but didn't feel lightheaded. Lydia was drinking a ton but since she's a werewolf she won't get drunk so I didn't worry. As the credits rolled Scott took the movie out and asked "what now?" Lydia got up and blasted my radio as Calvin Harris' 'Feel so close' came on and Lydia shouts "party means party!" I grinned as Stiles shot up and went after Lydia as Alice dragged Scott up.
We all were like family, I guess this is what being a pack means. I got up and tugged Jackson and Seth up and we all started randomingly dancing. This lasted for four minutes until Stiles tripped Alice and we all went down like dominoes until Stiles was left standing and said "oops!" We all glared at him and after he looked at me I shout "get him!" We all flew at him and did a dog pile (get it dog pile, sorry) on top of Stiles. After that we decided to watch two more movies, play some video games and watch more movies until we fell asleep or well at least that was what was planned.
After our dancing fiasco we decided to pick on watch Underworld and then Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (you know the one with Jordana Brewster). About halfway through the movie I was voted to pop the popcorn so I dragged Jackson with me down the stairs. As I put the popcorn in the microwave he leaned on the counter beside me he asked "so…why isn't Derek partying with us?" I looked at him as I grabbed a big bowl and said "I'm not talking about it." Jackson pouted as he came over to me and said, "Well, why not?" He sounded like a two year old. I sighed as the alarm on the microwave went on. I placed the popcorn in the bowl as I turned to Jackson and said "it's…look I just don't want to talk about please?" He turned to me and nodded as he said "well, him coming is a good thing." I raised an eyebrow as I said "how come?" He answered "because, I get to spend more time with you alone."
I laughed as a dark hue came to my face, and turned to him as he stepped closer and my heart raced in panic mode until I heard someone say "Well, isn't this cozy."
I turned to the doorway and saw Derek glaring at us. I jumped and my face burned as I moved away and Jackson turned to Derek and said "well, it was until you came." Derek glared at Jackson and stepped forward as I turned to Jackson and said "that wasn't cool, at all. Just go back upstairs." Jackson turned to me as he asks "I'm not gonna leave you alone with him." They glare at each other and I step forward and say "yes, you are. Besides I can handle myself."
With one last look at me Jackson headed up the stairs. I avoided Derek and silently grabbed the bowl but Derek trapped me between the counter and him as he asked "what was that? Were you gonna kiss him? He's not good for you…Mika answer the question." I turned away as I said "you have no right to tell me what to do." Derek turned and grasped my chin as he stared into my eyes his green eyes held hurt but he tried to mask it and said "no, you don't." I sighed as I looked at him and said "look, I just…I was wrong to say that. I was just upset over something stupid. But I wasn't going to kiss Jackson, I mean after what happened yesterday…" He smiled slightly and said "are you sure you're fine?"
I looked at him and answered "Derek…I just thought you'd stay the night with me…I woke up and you were gone…I felt like you regretted what happened." Derek held my eyes with his own as he said "I would never ever regret that. And…I did stay the night I just left before your aunt found us…I tried to save you the awkward meeting." I looked at Derek and said "oh," I leaned into Derek and he leaned down and I pressed my lips against his softly before saying "…come on, upstairs were just chilling."
I half dragged him up the stairs and everyone tensed as they saw him and Seth jumped off the bed. Derek glared at them all and I say "looks like Derek is joining us." Seth sat on the floor as Derek and I lay on the bed, I rested my head on his shoulder as watched the movie.
As the credits rolled there was a knock on the door as no one volunteered and Jackson told me "it's probably the pizza guy." I ran down the steps and cracked the door open. I was shocked as dread seeped into me and I whispered one word, "Damon."
