A/N: Well Im happy some of u like this Stefan and some of you hate him. Since Katherine has nothing to do w/ story the Salvatore brothers will be different from how they are in the show n a diff back story

Summary: In a world where vampires own witches as their slaves, one witch refuses to give into the stereotype giving one Damon Salvatore a run for his reputation of destruction. Bamon.

Stefan sat on the dirty floor in the dark while he waited for his brother to get back home with the witch. He knew what he tried to do to Bonnie would not gain him points with Damon nor would it get him on the homicidal witch's good side. And he was shocked when Damon told him his plans of giving Bonnie the grimoire, and even more shocked when Damon drugged him and threw him in the cell.

"Fucking ridiculous." He muttered to himself. How was he going to protect the vampire community now? Bonnie had her ways of killing with the little power she had but giving her that book would cause an all out war. He didn't understand why Damon was doing this. Did he have a death wish?

"Oh, baby brother!" He heard Damon say in a sing song voice as he made his way over to the cell door. "Look at you sitting there in time out being all good. Has little Stefan learned not to fuck with big brother's toys?"

"You're being stupid, Damon! Hate Klaus all you want but he made these rules for a reason. If you're going to keep her then the least you can do is train her to be the obedient witch she should be!"

He watched his brother give him a dumb look then slowly begin to smirk. "You just don't get it. You're so quick to stand behind Klaus and obey everything..."

"Would you rather me slaughter people for fun and pick fights with werewolves for nothing like you? You're such a hypocrite because at least what I do is for our kind! I'm not reckless and stupid...I know my actions have consequences!"

"Consequences?" Damon yelled, his eyes getting darker as his face threatened to change. "Like what you did to the Bennetts? You destroyed a whole bloodline, Stefan! And because they refused to be enslaved? I remember a time when we use to fight for our own freedom...as humans!"

"We are not fucking human anymore." Stefan replied angrily. "Get over it. It happened."

They both went silent, taking in that moment to take in each other's anger and hate towards each other and each for the same thing. Damon loved Stefan and vice versa. They were brothers and they were all they had but they were so much alike and different in the same ways it made being together for so long unbearable. There were years when they would leave each other for long period of times but they would always come back to each other. They were the only people alive who knew how the other was when they were human.

"Throw me under the train...join Klaus. I don't care anymore." Damon spoke finally, "But if it's a fight you want Stefan then you're not going to win." He unlocked and opened the cell, eying the other vampire up and down. "I hate what you've become. I can't do this anymore."

"You're going to run off with your little witch again? We all see how that ended last time."

Before Damon could react to that, Stefan was gone. He stood there in the darkness and took in his words. Damon was no saint and neither was Stefan but the difference between them was Stefan didn't care about himself. Stefan would be so quick to sacrifice himself for anyone or anything he felt important. Damon on the other hand did his crazy things because he refused to obey a vampire who royally fucked and took the best thing from him.

"Damon?" He snapped out of his thoughts to see Bonnie joined him in the basement. Her eyes were fulled with question and worry. He wasn't sure if it was for him though. "There's someone at the door."

"Hello you!"

Damon groaned loudly as his and Stefan's long time friend Lexi made herself happily at home in their sitting room. The female vampire crossed her long legs and flipped her long blond hair behind her back, shooting him a huge smile. He wasn't fooled though.

"What the hell do you want? I've already made one blond vampire cry today. That's my limit."

Lexi frowned, "Really, Damon? Picking on Caroline who is still a baby vampire? You're a bully I swear. At least Stefan was so kind to take her under his wing and teach her a thing or two since her mom abandoned her."

"Yeah...her problem not mine."

"Ahh...but wasn't she your human blood donar when she was alive?" That shut him up and Lexi grinned in victory. "But seriously be more nice to the kid."

"Once again...what the hell do you want?" Damon asked again. The affects of not feasting in a long time were going strong. He could hear Bonnie's pulse and tried his hardest to not look over at her in fear he'd snap and drain her there. He was finally gaining the witch's trust. "Stefan isn't here. You just missed him actually. I had him locked up and he didn't like that too much."

The blond got up and rolled her eyes. She made her way over to Damon and gave him a disapproving look. "I really wish you'd stop putting him through all this. He cares for you, you know. You're all he has..."

"Cry me a fucking river. He tried to kill my witch."

"I'm no one's." Bonnie spoke up. The two vampires turned to look at her and she held tightly onto the grimoire, afraid they might take it away from her. "I appreciate most the things you've done for me but this changes nothing."

"Of course not." Damon replied dryly. He looked back at Lexi who gave him a knowing look. "Don't start."

She ignored him and made her way over to Bonnie. She was shocked when the girl didn't flinch or move. "Yeah...you live up to your reputation. Word on the street was Damon bought the bad witch. The one that can't be taught. I didn't believe them...said Damon couldn't be that stupid to let a murderous witch who doesn't even do witchcraft to wander freely in his house...but then I remembered that it was Damon they were talking about." She reached out and touched a little strand of Bonnie's hair, admiring her. "I remember the Bennetts...they all had the most beautiful hair and their eyes...hypnotizing."

Bonnie watched as the vampire continued to examine her. She looked down at her grimoire then back up at Damon who also had his eyes on her. He watched as Lexi circled her and took in her appearance. His light eyes roaming over Bonnie's body.

"So is it also true Klaus branded you? The big bad vampire in charge had to set an example?"

"You mean the chicken shit dick who had another vampire hold me down as he burned me?" Bonnie asked, disgust in her words. Lexi stepped back in shock at her language and bravery of speaking about Klaus like that. "Yeah at least when I set a vampire on fire it's just me getting the job done. He had to have his minions help."

The blond vampire quirked a brow, "So you have killed a vampire before?"

"Yes. I've killed plenty. Once you burn them I find it's much funner to cut off their heads...to make sure they don't make it out alive."

Lexi looked over at Damon who just shrugged then back to the witch who was still staring at her with hate in her eyes. "Well..." Lexi cleared her throat. She didn't know whether to be offended or laugh at the young girl. "They were right about that mouth of yours and you're right about Klaus. Without his witches and minions...he'd be nothing."

"I tell you that all the time!" Damon yelled.

"Yeah but I like the way she says it." Lexi replied coolly. She walked back over to him. "Well I just came by to see her and wish you luck. Also brought you a little treat since I know you're going to be hungry. He's mine but from the looks of it, you can use a little blood in your system right now...Matt!"

Bonnie watched as a young man about her age entered the house with his head down. He had dirty blond hair and dark brown eyes that looked so sad and pathetic...telling a story of his life. She cringed at the bite marks on his neck and arms that showed because he was in nothing but a beater and jeans.

"This is Matt. My donar." Lexi said, placing an arm around the young man. "He's an orphan. He had a mother and sister and...well he doesn't like to talk about it. Here." She lifted Matt's wrist up to Damon's mouth. "Taste. He's delicious. And he's quiet and actually listens."

Damon looked down at the poor boy's wrist. He would usually prefer to feast on females but since he scared off the other girl earlier and felt too weak to go out and get his own he figured he would take Lexi's offering. He brought Matt's wrist up to his mouth...

"Stop! Stop it!" Bonnie shouted, pulling Matt away from both vampires. Matt turned to look at her for the first time, silently asking her if she was crazy for snatching him away from her master. "You're not doing this and especially not in front of me!"

Lexi burst out into laughter, "Wow...she rather have you starve to death! It's ok, sweetie, Matt doesn't mind..."

"And how the fuck would you know, huh?" Bonnie snapped. "He may be yours but have you ever talked to him? Asked him if it hurts ever time you bite your disgusting fangs into him?"

"Bonnie..."

"He's a human fucking being! Something you were before!"

"Bonnie..."

"You fucking vampires are horrible!"

"Bonnie! Enough!" Damon snapped, causing Matt and Lexi to jump a little. Bonnie still held her ground as he walked towards her and pushed Matt to his mistress. "Listen to me. You're still mine regardless of what you may think in that pretty little head of yours. You. Are. Mine. I'm dead and I feed on people. It's something I do and trust me when I say I wouldn't change it for the world. If that makes me a disgusting monster in your eyes then I'll take that as a fucking compliment!"

Matt and Lexi glanced at each other, sensing the tension in the room. Bonnie didn't seem to be bothered by his outburst. She stepped forward and closed the distance between them, "I meant it when I said thank you for the grimoire. And I appreciate the things you have done for me but now with this I will murder all of you for what you did to my family. You wanna live a life of killing others and treating people below you and fine but I promise you it won't last long!" With that said she stormed out the room, leaving Damon staring angrily after her.

"I swear it's like everything I do is never enough for this witch!"

"Well she has spunk, I'll say that." Lexi said, "And I respect her and her not backing down for what she believes in but I don't fully agree with the whole 'kill all vampires' crap because you and I both know that for most of us this life wasn't a choice."

"None of us have choices anymore. Not even the vampires. And she doesn't seem to listen. I should've just left her to die."

"Now you know you don't mean that, Damon. She's different and you like it. You like that someone is standing up to you and Klaus and everyone else in this community. She's taken beatings, torture, and bitings...but there's one thing no one has tried." She grinned widely at him, causing him to stare back at her in confusion. "Sex."

"You're insane. She'd burn my penis off and serve it to the werewolves if I came at her like that!"

"Yeah but still...it's like the saying 'kill em with kindness'."

"Sex doesn't count as kindness but I'll keep that in mind."

She grinned, "Well I just came by to see her and I must say I'm jealous I didn't beat you to buying her. I would've loved to party with that one!"

Damon rolled his eyes and shot her an annoyed look. "I'm sure...and Lexi next time you decide to come stop by...don't."

"Well hey, Elena! Decided to finally drop the blood off?"

Elena smiled apologetically at George, the owner of the local bar. Since her parents were out of town handling more witch business it was her job to distribute blood to the bars around Mystic Falls. After the whole thing with Bonnie earlier, Elena got distracted and showed up at the bar a little late.

"Yeah...I had to help a friend with something."

"Well it's good you came now. We're running out of blood and that vampire over there looks like he can use a lot of it."

Elena looked over to the young vampire with dark eyes and hair. He wore all black and just by one glance she knew he was Stefan Salvatore, the youngest of the brothers. She's heard many stories about him. Though Damon was known for his rebellious nature, Stefan was more known for setting examples of people and being Klaus' own personal assassin.

"Oh...well...I got three cases for you. Had to carry them all by myself since my friend Tyler is...well..."

"It's a full moon tonight." George finished, knowing what she meant. Everyone knew about the Lockwoods. "It's all good. I'll just take them to the back. Get on home...it's nearly midnight!"

"Yes sir!" Elena joked with a giggle. She turned to make her way out the bar only to bump into someone's hard chest. "Umm...sorry..."

"You should be...hey aren't you that Elena chick?"

"No." She tried to walk past the guy, only to have him grab her roughly back by her arm. "Yes you are. Can't lie to a vampire, sweetness. From what I hear your whole family is in the business of serving us vamps...making us happy." He caressed her face and grinned, "And right now you're making me happy."

"Let go of me." She replied angrily, her voice shaking slightly. Everyone around stopped to stare at them but all the humans knew not to bother a vampire. "I'm going home."

"Yeah and you're going to invite me into said home."

"No I'm..." She watched in fear as a fog began to overcome her brain and she immediately knew she was about to be compelled into letting this vampire into her house.

"She said no."

The vampire turned to see Stefan standing next to him, a look of seriousness on his face. "You missed your chance...this one is mine. Plus I don't share."

"I wasn't taking her and I sure in the hell ain't letting you." He replied darkly, "The problem with you baby vampires is you guys seem to think that you can do anything you want. Yes, you're higher on the food chain now. But you don't run shit."

The vampire tossed Elena to the side and glared angrily at Stefan. "Look you motherfu-" Stefan grabbed his arm and broke it, causing the younger vampire to fall to his knees and scream in pain.

"Who's your maker?" He asked calmly as the people around him watched in horror. "Who the fuck made you?"

"A-Anna!"

"Well I'm sure she won't miss you." He bent his head back putting a stake to his chest. Soon his body dissolved on the floor, leaving nothing but some blood and bones. "I hate when vampires bring douchebags like that into the afterlife."

Elena stared at him in disbelief. Was this the same Stefan Salvatore that killed a whole town and murdered a bunch of witches and helped do Klaus' evil deeds?

"T-thanks."

He looked at her for the first time, not saying anything. After awhile she expected him to pounce on her and drain her dry or just go off on her but then he smiled.

"No problem...Elena Gilbert right?"

"...yeah..."

"Come on...I'll walk you home."

Bonnie sat on some bed...not sure what room she was in. All she knew was she had to get away from Damon and quick or she would snap and try to kill him again. She was happy he was allowing her to practice her magic and learn how to control it instead of it reacting with her emotions.

"Now...how did you know this was going to be your room?" She looked up and saw Damon staring at her from the doorway. "I'm just playing. You're room was actually going to be next to mine seeing as this room is right across from Stefan's."

She looked past him at the closed door across the hall. "Yeah...with my luck I would choose the room across from the one trying to kill me. And of course you would want me next to you...knowing I'd sneak out."

He chuckled, "If you can sneak past me then you deserve to be able to escape."

"What do you want, Damon?" She asked. "I mean...all we've done is argue today...aren't you tired of that? Pretending we can actually get along..."

"I can get along with you. You just don't wanna give it a chance." He walked more into the room and sat on the bed next to her. "You're stubborn but so am I. If you think I'm gonna give you back or sell you to another then don't hold your breath. You just may be the second death of me."

"You saved me." He watched her as she turned from him and stared at the floor instead. That was the first time she couldn't look at him at all. "It's just odd to me that you would do that...why?"

Now she wanted to know the truth. The reason why he saved her back then and let her live and why he was keeping her safe now. He wasn't ready to explain it to her and he was pretty sure only Stefan knew the real reason to it.

"I like you." He shrugged.

"You don't know me."

"Well...I'm trying..." He pointed to the grimoire resting on her legs. "I got you that, didn't I?"

"I don't know what to tell you. I don't trust you...at all."

"Join the club." He grinned, "But hey...you're gonna be with me for a long time. You're gonna have to get use to a couple of things." He got up. "Tomorrow morning I'm going to feast on a human...you can watch or not but if you try to interfere it's just going to make it more painful on them." Bonnie frowned. "So...it's your call."

He wasn't going to change and especially not for her. She was stupid for even thinking he would. He was a vampire and he had to feed on people to live but still she couldn't handle watching someone just willingly give their blood to a vampire. The way Matt looked...like he was far gone already. She promised herself she would never get like that, no matter what they did to her.

Damon could tell she wasn't going to answer him so instead he took Lexi's advice. Kill them with kindness. He moved forward towards her knowing she wouldn't move back or flinch because she was too prideful. He tilted her chin up and watched as she gave him a confused look before leaning down to kiss her. He expected her to push him off, or try to kill him...what he didn't expect was to hear a howl behind them...
