Chapter 20: Brain Stew
From the song: Brain Stew by Green Day
Me: Okay, some of you were confused, and I apologize for that. The reason Bonnie did the spell was so everyone could see who they could trust and who could help everyone out the most. K?
Damon: You listen to old music.
Me: Nuh-uh! [Crosses arms defiantly.]
Stefan, Damon, Elena and Lestat: [raise eyebrow]
Me: Okay I do.
Lestat: [puts arm around me] don't worry, you have good…taste. [Smirk]
Me: [giggles hysterically]
Elena: So…um…Lestat?
Lestat: Yes?
Me: [melts]
Elena: You are pretty much the…original Vampire. You know, Anne Rice, right?
Lestat: [grins] Yes, I am. I have a question, though. How are you two able to walk in sunlight?
Stefan: [holds up hand] these rings.
Lestat: [walks over, letting me slide to the ground.] Fascinating. Are there any more like it?
Damon: No. [Brood.]
Everyone: o.O
Me: HAHAHAHA YOU ARE BROODING LIKE STEFFIE!
Stefan: [brood]
Damon: Just get on with this!
Lestat: [laughs]
Me: [swoon]
"…As time ticks by, still I try. No rest for cross tops in my mind… My mind is set on overdrive…crooked spine, my senses dulled. Passed the point of delirium…"
As Tyler and Stefan walked up the stairs, they heard, "Seven?" "Yeppers!" Then they heard someone fall twice before a door closed. They walked into the living room and everyone looked a Tyler.
"Where's Damon?" Stefan asked.
"Drunk. In his room." Alaric replied.
"Tyler!" Matt ran over and hugged him. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Just a little fuzzy." He said, smiling.
"You can go sit down, Tyler." Stefan said.
"Ty!" Vicki ran over and hugged him tightly.
"Hey, Vick. What happened?"
"Um…I'm not sure. From what Jeremy told me, Damon turned me into a Vampire, Stefan staked me," She glared. "And Bonnie brought me back. She's a witch."
Tyler nodded. "Yeah."
"Tyler," Stefan said. "This is Pearl, Anna, Lee, Lexi and you know the rest."
He leaned over and whispered, "Are they all Vampires?"
Stefan nodded. "Yes.
Suddenly Damon walked down the stairs again. "Oh, and by the way," He sped over to Matt and began to compel him.
"You want to go home and tell nobody about this."
Matt nodded and walked out the door.
"What did you just do to my brother?" Vicki yelled.
"Mind control." Damon said back indifferently, and then walked over to the bar.
"Damon," Elena said. "I think you have had enough to drink."
Damon laughed. "Oh, Elena, there is no such thing. Besides, I'm not drunk enough to go back to screwing your mother yet." He grinned and poured himself a drink, going back upstairs.
Everyone stood there awkwardly.
All of the Vampires went out to hunt that night, (and Lexi got blood bags) so they were strong and energized for the time being. Tyler was able to go back home to his mother without speaking a word about what had happened, as promised.
Pearl, Anna, Jeremy and Lexi were the first to come back. Stefan came in next. Alaric was living at the Boarding House for the time being, and Elena was packed, ready to head back home.
"I should probably-" The doorbell interrupted her.
She opened the door. "Sherriff Forbes?"
"Hello Elena."
"I am so sorry about Caroline, I-"
"That's not why I came here. I need to see Damon."
"I'm here!" Elena stepped aside to see a drunken Damon.
"Hello…Damon." Sherriff Forbes said cautiously.
"What's up?"
"Could I talk to you outside for a moment?"
"Yeah." He walked outside and closed the door.
Jeremy sat in his room, waiting for everyone else to come back from hunting. To be honest, he didn't feel the love for Vicki like he had before. There was something about her he didn't like now, and he didn't need her. He needed Anna. He-
There was a light knock on the door. "Jeremy?"
It was Anna. "Come in."
She smiled at him sadly.
"What's wrong?"
She sat next to him. "Jeremy, I…do you love me still?"
"Yes, of course I do."
"What about Vicki?"
"Anna, I don't feel that way about her anymore. I promise. You are the only one I love."
Anna hugged him. "I love you Jeremy."
"Don't ever leave me again, okay?"
"I promise."
Jeremy pressed his lips to hers.
There was a knock on the door. "Guys?" It was Elena. "Could you come down for a second?"
(A/N: HA! I trickededed youzz!)
"Are you drunk?"
"Yep."
"O…kay. I need your help."
"With?"
"I thought John Gilbert's device had gotten rid of the Vampires in town, but we staked two of them last night."
She took two steps back and pointed at Lee and Vicki's dead bodies on the ground.
Damon studied them. "That sucks. No pun intended." He smirked.
"What I don't understand is that Vicki was dead. How did she come back as a Vampire? Again?"
Damon shrugged. "Who the hell knows anymore?"
"Are you alright?"
"Yep!"
"Damon, I'm worried about you."
He looked at her, and then his expression darkened, an evil smile playing at his lips as he took a predatory step towards her. "You know what? You're right. There is something wrong with me."
"Whatever it is, Damon, I can help you." She took a step back, trying to keep her face composed, but her heart was thundering in fear.
He took another step towards her. "I am one of the Founding Families." Though it wasn't a question, Sherriff Forbes nodded. "But really, the only reason I 'teamed up' with you was to get information." Another step.
Another step back. "About?"
"The council of course!" He cried cheerfully. "I wanted to know how many people knew about the Vampires." Another step.
"W-why?" Sherriff Forbes was now backed up against the fence.
He leaned in close to her. "Why don't you tell me?" He leaned back and she saw his face. His face had changed.
"Oh my god, Damon what happened?"
He rolled his red eyes. "I didn't get turned. I've been a Vampire since 1864. So has my brother. I am the original Vampire you were tracking." He grinned. "And I knew it all along."
Sherriff Forbes, a frightened look on her face quickly pulled out a stake, pulling back to stab it in his heart.
He smirked. "Sorry, Sherriff." He snapped her neck.
"Damon! What the hell?" Alaric ran over and checked Sherriff Forbes's pulse. "Why did you do that?"
"She was in my way." He shrugged.
"In the way of what?" Alaric yelled.
"My new plan." And he was gone.
"I have faith in you Bonnie."
Bonnie shook her head reluctantly. "I don't want to do this."
"Bonnie," Jeremy said steadily. "We all trust you."
"But I messed up-"
"So what?" Lexi said. "We all mess up. Trust me." She grinned.
Anna smiled. "Bonnie, you can do it."
Elena looked at her friend. "Bonnie, there's something wrong with Damon. You saw what just happened out there. He needs help, and you're the only one who can do that right now."
Bonnie sighed and opened the spell book. "This spell should open up Damon's mind, kind of like what I did to all of us so we could know each other's wishes better, but this will also open his heart and….hopefully it will help him learn to trust and have more compassion."
Damon walked soberly through the door and everyone looked at him.
Bonnie gave him a confused look. "Why don't you look drunk anymore?"
Damon smirked at her, but his eyes were cold. "A Vampire's…drunkenness only lasts an hour or so." The smirk on his lips fell as he realized there was something up with everyone. He decided to distract them. "Lexi, Lee's dead. Jeremy, Vicki's dead."
Everyone jumped up. Aversion successful. "What?"
"Sherriff Forbes staked them. Alaric is burying them and putting her in the woods or something." He said indifferently.
Suddenly Bonnie glared and started chanting in Latin.
"What is she doing?" Damon asked suspiciously.
"We all care about you." Elena replied.
The candles lit up and the lights flickered. Bonnie then stopped chanting and looked up at Damon. A gust of wind hit everyone, the candles going out, but the only one who fell backwards because of it was Damon.
He lay unconscious until Elena ran to his side. "Damon? Are you okay?" She began to panic until he opened his blue eyes.
"Elena?"
"Yes."
"Did it work?" Bonnie whispered.
Elena and Damon stood up and he looked at her curiously, like there was something he didn't realize before. "Elena…"
He suddenly pulled her to him and hugged her.
"I guess it did." Jeremy said, laughing.
Then Damon kissed her. Not a peck, either. Completely passionate. He then ran his hands up her shirt and pressed her closer to his body. Elena gasped when she felt his erection.
Bonnie furrowed her brows. "Oh, Hell."
