Damon's P.O.V
I slammed through the door, ignoring the splinter of the doorframe as I did so, stalking into Stefans bedroom where I could hear Stefan breathing and mumbling something about having to replace the door frame.
"Pearl" I growled as he raised his eyes from his book, he was reading sat against his head board.
"What about her?" he asked.
"She's been around Kaye!" I raged, "She's the one who attacked her father and she's been inside her house. She burrowed her way into Kayes life through her dad!" I raged kicking the desk in his room, glaring after it as it slid across the room, smashing into pieces as it slammed into the wall.
"How?"
"She compelled her dad, she dated him!"
"Are they okay?"
"Yes. For now. No. I don't know! Kaye freaked out when I told her who Pearl was she had a freaking panic attack, and we get back and he's fine and then she asks me to make her forget and then makes me leave and-"
"Did you?" he asked. "Make her forget?"
"What? No! Of course I didn't! I'm not stupid, Pearl wants her for something, I cant risk her forgetting who she is then getting caught!"
"Okay." Stefan climbed off of his bed, straightening himself, "Calm down Damon."
"Calm down? No I wont calm down! Could you calm down if it were Elena? Did you calm down when she was in danger?" It took all of my willpower not to hit him, attack him, destroy everything around me, including him.
"Okay. Okay," he defended, raising his hands in the air, stepping away from me, "So Pearl attacked her dad?" I nodded exasperatedly, "What does she want with Kaye?"
"Nothing." I said, "She wants me to help her remember? I think Kaye is bait or insurance or something. Leverage, she threatens her and I do her dirty work."
"Would you?" he asked frowning, "Would you do what she says if she was using Kay as bait, if Kaye was in danger?"
"No." I said without hesitation, "But I'd do all I could to get her safe again."
"Even if it meant saying goodbye?"
I ground my teeth together and grumbled, "I wont have to say goodbye, she was smart enough to end it before it began."
"What?"
"She asked me to stay away, until she gets her head together." I explained, running a hand through my hair.
"So what do we do?" my brother asked. It was even more annoying when he kept asking questions than it was when Kaye did.
"You can do whatever you want. I'm going to find Pearl. Then I'm going to kill her, then every other one of them, one by one." I decided, out loud.
"You really think you could do that? Last time you fought Frederick you almost lost. Last time you saw Pearl she pushed your eyes into the back of your head. You cant beat them." he replied calmly.
"I can try!" I raged back, "They're going to take back Mystic Falls if they don't die. Everyone dies when that happens, including all of your human friends, including Elena!"
"Damon, listen to me. Going alone is stupid. We don't know what they're doing yet, we do not know! We need to wait, lie low, just for a while, we need to know what is happening inside out before we do anything." His words made sense, they always did. After all Saint Stefan was always right, always calm and collected and never pushed or pulled or ran on pure instinct. He planned, waited patiently and almost always won. I had no choice but to listen, because if I were to find them alone and unprepared I would lose and then Kaye would be left unprotected, Stefan would be alone in his protection of everybody. I'm an idiot. Besides, I told myself, I wasn't exactly one for walking into certain death anyway.
"Okay. Fine." I grumbled, stalking from his bedroom and into my own, calling behind me, "Stefan. Grab some vervaine from downstairs and something to put it in to give to her dad." I heard his footsteps descending the stairs and made my way towards the drawers in the corner of my room, I pulled open the top draw and reached inside, rummaging for what I knew was in there. My fingers grasped the old pendant I had dropped inside the day I'd arrived in Mystic Falls, along with a few other items it was something I had owned since I was human. The necklace was nothing like Elenas, I thought it more beautiful, more delicate. It had been given to me by my father once the existence of vampires had been discovered in Mystic Falls, he had told me to give it to Katherine for protection, of course this was before he had learned of what she was. I didn't really know why I'd chosen to keep it with me for all these years, even after Katherine had been taken from me, I'd kept it and never had reason to use it. Until now I guessed. "Here." Stefan's voice interrupted my thoughts, "I liquefied some, so she can lace her fathers food or drink with it. And I think this will do for jewellery wise for him."
I eyed the bracelet in his hand, as he fumbled to place some of the poisonous herb inside, "Yeah," I said, "That's his style." The bracelet was plain, silver, boring, "He has none."
My brother grinned at my comment and eyed my own hands in which the necklace lay, "Give me some." I commanded, gesturing to the herb in his hands.
"You're giving that to Kaye?" he asked, handing over the vervaine, knowing full well the story behind it, as he had been there at the time.
"Yes, she needs vervaine too." I stated, ignoring the curious looks he was sending my way as I shoved more than enough of the herb inside, before clasping the locket shut.
"Are you going to take it to her?" he asked, attempting to hand me the liquid and the bracelet.
I shook my head, "No. You are. Now. She doesn't want me there remember."
He took the necklace from my outstretched hand and said, "I'll make sure they both get it." before swiftly turning and leaving me alone.
Kaye's P.O.V
It was less than an hour before I heard a knock against my bedroom window, I was still sat against my wall, though I was no longer crying. My heart had leapt at the noise, and I'd found myself wondering if it were Damon, coming back, ignoring my request, coming to fight with me, convince me I was wrong, so I leapt to the window, and ripped open my curtains, face falling as the Salvatore that I saw at the window was not Damon, but his younger brother. I felt awful for even wanting it to be Damon, after all I had cruelly sent him away after all he'd done for me. I had no right to expect him to do anything for me anymore. "Hey Stefan," I mumbled, pulling open my window and allowing him to climb through. Wondering what it was with vampires and windows, that must have been how Damon had gotten in tonight once I'd closed the door behind him and it was certainly how he had left.
"Hey." he said, straightening his jacket, the bag in his hand rustling, "Are you okay?"
"Fine." I said quickly."
"I heard what happened." he said hesitantly, "Damon would have brought this over himself," he lifted the bag "but.."
"But, I told him to stay away." I finished, "I know. What is it?"
"Vervaine. For you and your dad. Damon said it was urgent, you had to get it soon." I winced, was everything he said going to cut at me like this? Damon leaving my house, then going home and rushing to find vervaine, could I feel any worse right now?
"Right." I swallowed, "Thank you."
He smiled, rummaging through the bag, from which he pulled a small vile of some liquid I hadn't seen before, "That's vervaine?" I asked.
He nodded, "Yeah, liquefied. Put this in something, a drink or food, it'll make his blood poisonous to us."
"Yeah, Damon explained what it was." I replied taking it from his hands and putting it on my desk.
"This." he pulled out a silver coloured bracelet, "Has vervaine in it too, give it to your dad, I'm sure if you say it's a gift then he will keep wearing it." In this the vervaine was encased in a small silver box on the bracelet, in its herb form, a purple colour. "If you clasp this down," he pointed to the clasp, "then he probably wont realise there's something inside."
"Right thank you, this is the sort of style he likes too."
"Damon said." I bit the inside of my cheek. "There's something else too."
"What?" I asked, as he pulled something else form the bag.
"This one's for you." he said, placing a necklace in my outstretched palm, it was a simple pendant on a chain, it was beautiful but mainly it looked old. "There's vervaine in it."
"It looks old." I commented, dreading the reply, but somehow knowing what it would be.
"Damon has had it for a long time." I swallowed, feeling like I wanted to cry again but refusing to do so in front of Stefan, "It's important to him." he added, "Here let me."
He reached out and took the necklace from my hand, undoing the small clasp, "Turn around and lift up your hair." I did as told and couldn't help but think that it should be Damon who was doing this, as he clipped it around my neck. "Thanks" I said, dropping my hair, I turned to face the vampire, I'd considered asking his opinion on the matter of Damon, he had constantly told me to stay away from his brother and I hadn't really spoken to him much since he had learned of my continued involvement with him anyway. I decided to take the high road and find out. "Did I do the right thing?" I asked, "In asking him to stay away?"
"Kaye I." he began but I interrupted with, "Truthfully Stefan, did I do the right thing?"
He seemed to be considering my words for a moment as he dropped down onto the chair by my desk, "A few weeks ago, I would have a said yes." he started, "But now.. I don't know. He drank from you over and over so I figured you were just another food source, you were just something to play with. Then things started to go strange, he went out of his way to protect you from Frederick. He just kept coming back to you and not for food either."
"I know, I didn't understand it myself. Are you mad at him? At me?"
"At first yeah, then when I really looked at it, I was just shocked, I haven't seen him genuinely care for someone since well Katherine, but he was scared for your safety, the way he took you out of here when he council were rampaging, the ay he came home tonight, he was so angry at Pearl and the others for getting near you he wanted to go after them by himself, I had to fight to top him. He was hurting, I haven't seen him like that for a long time. Not since-"
"Katherine?"
"Yeah. Kaye, I cant say that what you did was right or wrong, but its your choice, its your life." he said as he stood to leave stating he was going to Elenas for the rest of the night.
"Stefan." I said, as he made his way to the window, "Does he hate me? Is all this-" I gestured to the vervaine on my desk and the necklace, cool against my skin, "just because he was keeping a promise?"
Stefan shook his head, "I don't think he could ever hate you Kaye.
