Thank you sooo much for the reviews you guys:) they are greatly appreciative and I am always up for listening to what you guys have to say:)
I had this idea roaming around in my head for a while and I want to know what you guys think of it. I was thinking of adding side stories about Liz, they will follow the story line of the show but they'd only be about Liz and most likely a lot of Damon:). Basically it'd be their own little stories about their relationship… let me know what you guys think of the idea:)
Disclaimer: I do not own anything, The Vampire Diaries belongs to L.J. Smith, but I do own Liz
I stared at the guy in front of me. I was completely lost in his eyes. I don't think I've ever seen such intense blue eyes before. They were mesmerizing. I had to tear my eyes away to collect my thoughts. This was Stefan's brother? The brother that told Elena that Stefan was on the rebound? I wanted to give this guy a piece of my mind, but thought better of it.
"Wait, Salvatore? As in Stefan Salvatore?" I questioned, even though I knew the answer.
"Why yes indeed; and you must be Elena's sister," he gave me a dashing smile. I wanted to just faint right then and there, but from the look on his face, he was use to women swooning over him.
"Yeah, her twin sister in fact,"
"Ah, fraternal twins?" he guessed.
"What gave it away?" I teased with a laugh. He smirked and looked me up and down.
"Well apart from the fact that you two have different faces sorta, and your hair is kept differently; I can tell you two are definitely related just by looking at you," he crossed his arms and continued to look me up, devouring me with his eyes.
I shifted my feet, and tried to hide the blush creeping up on my face. Why the hell was I blushing? I peered down at my shoes, avoiding his eyes.
When I looked back up, he still had that smug of a smirk on his face. I just wanted to slap it right off. "Uh, never really got that before. Usually people say I really don't look like Elena,"
"Well then they are totally and completely blind," again with the damn blushing. I just couldn't stop.
"It's getting kidna late; I should really be getting home now," half true. It was a school night and I really did need to get home, but I also wanted to get away from Damon; he may be good looking and all, but I can't help but get this weird vibe from him.
"Well I have to agree with you on that note, let me walk you to your car?" he offered. I couldn't tell if he was just being polite, or a total creep. I vote for the last one.
I nod and together we make our way to the Mystic Grill parking lot.
"So, when did you get to town?" I asked, trying to start conversation.
"Eh, couple of days ago," he answered like it was nothing.
"Really? How come I haven't seen you around then?" I asked as we approached my car. I had the keys ready in my hand.
"Trying to settle back in, ya know? And scope out the town for young single ladies such as yourself," he smirked that devilish smirk again.
Don't blush don't blush, don't blush.
"Good to know," I muttered, still looking down.
I really didn't want to look up. But I knew I had to eventually. I looked up and met his eyes again. I could almost see my reflection within his eyes. For a second though, I could've sworn they dilated
"Well Damon, it was nice to meet you. Maybe I'll see you around?" I unlocked the car and turned my back to him.
I could feel my back being pressed against, and felt my heart start pumping. What the hell was he doing? I could feel his warm breath begin to tickle my ear. I shivered at the warmth of his breath. I knew that if I turned around, I would be face to face, and certainly too close for my liking.
"I should hope so, Elizabeth," he whispered. I shivered again and could practically feel the smirk on his lips.
I didn't want to turn around, but I did. How could I be so stupid? I came face to face with Damon. I stared deeply into his eyes. We were chest to chest. I knew I should've felt uncomfortable, but I didn't.
"You don't want to go home, you want to stay here with me," he said. I knew what he was saying was all wrong. Why would I stay with him? Now I know I saw his eyes dilate.
Something, or some force, told me to not move and to not go anywhere.
"I don't want to go home, I want to stay here with you," my voice sounded robotic. Why the hell was I saying this? I didn't want to be anywhere near this guy right now.
Damon's face broke out into a grin. "Perfect, glad you see it my way. No shall we?" he extended his arm, as if he were a gentlemen. I went to grab it as I shut my car door.
"Damon," a voice suddenly called out.
We both turn around, and Stefan marches over, an angry look decorating his face.
"Ah, hello there brother," Damon said as if everything was normal.
"What do you think you're doing?" he demanded. He pointedly looked at me and I only stared back.
"Well, if you must know, we were about to head home; gonna have some fun," he had a devilish grin on his face at the last part.
Stefan gave him a stone hard glare; this was a side of him I've never seen before. It somewhat scared me right now. I wanted run, scream, anything; but I couldn't move. Damon took my hand in his. I didn't move or respond to his touch.
"Leave her alone Damon," growled Stefan. Damon merely chuckled and put his arm around me. I shivered at his touch.
"Well you told me to stay away from Elena, and you didn't say, or threatened in your own way, for me to stay away from dear Elizabeth here." He stroked my cheek. I would've cringed away, but I didn't.
"Damon, I'm serious; leave both of them alone." Stefan threatened. "They are not a part of this and you know it, so why bother? What do you get out of it?"
"Well if I can't have one, I'll settle for this one," he pointed to me. I wanted to know what was going on. I hated being left out, especially right now. What were they talking about? What about Elena and me?
"Damon, she's not yours to have. You can't just use her for your own personal use. Now let her go," Stefan continued to glare at Damon. I was beginning to get nervous. I didn't want anything to happen to him.
"Oh brother, you're no fun to be around. No wonder you don't get as much action as I do," he smirked smugly.
Damon turned to me and forced me to look him in the eyes. "You're going to forget what I asked you."
"I'm going to forget,"
"You're going to go home and go about your normal ways,"
"I'm going to go home," I turned around and opened my car door again.
Suddenly, like wind hitting me forcefully, I forgot what just happened. I turned around and faced Stefan. When did he get here? And what was Damon doing here again?
"Wait, Stefan, when did you get here?" I pointed to him with confusion written all over my face.
"Oh, you know Stefan," Damon began, I looked at him, "He comes and goes as he wants. Kind of a lone wolf if you ask me. No wonder why he doesn't have any friends," he smirked.
"I actually just wanted to see if my brother here was bothering you Liz," he nodded towards Damon.
"Of course not Stef, I was being the perfect gentlemen by escorting this lovely young lady to her car," he mocked bowed. I rolled my eyes.
"Well, as eventful as this little meeting is, I gotta get home,"
"Of course, I'll see you tomorrow at school then?"
"Yeah, of course," I offered a smile.
I turned to Damon and found him smirking. I rolled my eyes again. Jerk. He was so full of himself. And I've only known they guy for less than ten minutes.
"It was nice to meet you Damon," I offered politely.
"It was a pleasure meeting you Elizabeth. It's not every day that once gets to catch the eye of such a beautiful woman," I seriously wanted to roll my eyes again, but thought better of it.
"See you around then," I get in the car and drive away.
~Stefan's P.O.V~
I watched carefully as Liz drove away. All the while keeping a watchful eye on Damon, making sure he didn't try anything.
"Well that was eventful," he wore a smirk.
I was worried this would happen. If he couldn't get to Elena, he might try to get to Liz. I couldn't let that happen. Liz is an important part of Elena's life, and one of her few family members alive. Not only that, but I wouldn't let Damon have his way with anyone, especially Liz.
"Stay away from her Damon," I threatened. I glared at him, but that didn't wipe off the grin.
"Oh but why should I? I mean after all you only told me to stay away from Elena. You said nothing about dear Liz now did you?" when I didn't say anything he continued. "Ha, that's what I thought. Now, the only thing left for me to do is to properly claim her as my own,"
"That's not going to happen Damon. She's not yours to have. She is not Katherine anymore than Elena is,"
"Thankfully, we both know what would happen now would we? But then again, there are two of them this time, so we each get one. Now Liz doesn't look exactly like Katherine, but its close enough for me; I mean have you seen her ass?" I gave him a disgusted look. Only Damon would think of her body instead of her personality.
"It wouldn't matter if there were two or one of them; you're still not going to go anywhere near her, Damon." He looked off in the other direction, pretending not to hear me.
"Damon!"
"Oh what? Come on, you gotta let me have some fun. I mean even if you tell me no, I'll still find a way to be by her. I already compelled her once, what's going to stop me next time? Or the time after that?"
"That's not going to happen,"
"Says you," he smirked.
We stared at each other for a few seconds. Silenced lapped through the air.
"Why are you here Damon? Is it for Liz?" I question.
"Must we go through this again?" he starts to walk off, but I quickly move in front of him.
"Did you have a squirrel before this? Because that was not half bad," he tries to avoid the subject.
"Save it, I want to know," I demanded.
"Oh Stefan, you really shouldn't try to play the hero all the time," he walks around me and I turn to face him, "If I told you, then we wouldn't really have a story here now would we?"
And with that he disappears off into the night. I stand there, confused. I may not know what he's planning, but I will do everything in my power to protect Elena and Liz.
~Liz P.O.V~
When I got home, only Jenna and Jeremy were there. Elena must have gone over to Stefan's. Finally. I make my way into my room and put down my bag. My encounter with Damon tonight left me puzzled. I really couldn't remember the first words we said to each other. It was really weird. I thought nothing of it as I made my way to bed.
Morning came too quick for my liking. I dressed for the day and went downstairs. Elena was already up. She seemed really happed which brought a smile to my face.
"Hey," she stopped moving and turned to me with a huge smile on her face.
"Good morning Liz," she said in a chipper sort of way.
"Why are you so happy?" I picked up an apple and took a bite out of it.
"Well, I did what you said,"
"And what exactly did I say?"
"To just go for it. I went over to Stefan's last night, and we sorta… ya know…"
"Kissed?" I guessed. She blushed and looked down, I inwardly grinned. "Good for you Elena, I'm really happy for you,"
"Thanks, now if only we can find you a boyfriend.." she drifted off into her thoughts. I groaned out loud.
"Not you too, I already got Caroline on my ass about this whole thing. I don't need a sister on my ass too," she just laughs and we make our way out the door. We drive to school together today, and she tells me all about last night. I knew I should tell her about my little experience; but I didn't want to rain on her parade.
"So how was your night?" I was caught off guard. I wanted to tell her, I really did; but would she get mad at me? I mean I saw Stefan last night too technically.
"I, uh, you know did the usual," I tried to play it evenly, but only stuttered.
"Liz, what did you really do?"
"Well, I uh met Stefan's older brother last night," Elena was silent for a few seconds, and I wonder if I hit a nerve.
"Really, where?" she said calmly, which surprised me somewhat.
"He was looking at the mural, and we talked for a while. He walked me to my car and then Stefan showed up out of the blue and-"
"Wait ,you saw Stefan last night?" she cut me off.
"Yeah, he must have come into town with Damon, because he was just there." I explained as best as I could remember.
The rest of the car ride was silent. When we reached the school, I looked at Elena, she just looked at me.
"What?"
"You're not mad at me?"
"No of course not, why would I be?"
"Well I don't know,"
We walked off into the front and waited for Bonnie. We just stood and talked until she pulled in. we went up and greeted her. She instantly began to talk to Elena about Stefan, and how she got a bad feeling about him.
"Look, I'm saying don't date the guy, but just take it slow," she said seriously.
"You and Liz are the ones who said to go for it, and Liz doesn't have a problem with him," she pointed to both of us.
"I agree with Elena, Bonnie. Stefan seems like a normal guy," we walked off into the school.
"Now, I'm saying take it slow,"
We talked for a bit more until Elena got straight to the point. "Seriously, what are you not saying?"
"It's stupid," she shakes her head. I reach put and stop her.
"Bonnie,"
"Spit it out," Elena finished.
"I accidentally touched Stefan, and I got a really bad feeling,"
"Is that it?" Elena asked.
Bonnie began to walk off but I grabbed her arm again, "Bonnie,"
"It was bad bad," she said with a scared tone.
"Is this the whole with mojo thing again?" I teased.
"This is me being concerned about one of my best friends' new boyfriend," she explained.
Elena grabbed Bonnie by both arms and looked her dead in the eye. "And I love you for it I do. But I feel good. It's been a hard year; and I'm starting to feel like things are getting back to normal. And Stefan is a big part of that," Bonnie only smiles and we make our way into school.
They day goes by slowly for the most part. Except in history today, when Stefan totally owned Mr. Tanner. It was awesome. Later Elena and I found out the Stefan tried out for the football team. I hope he made it, especially since Tanner's the couch. Most likely Stefan got on the team anyway. Throughout the day, I got praised on the mural. I was so embarrassed it wasn't even funny anymore. Though, I did like it. I guess hearing what Stefan said about looking at it through the eyes of another person really did make sense in a weird way.
By the end of the day, I was ready to crash. I had gotten so much homework that I wanted to throw my entire bag in the garbage. Elena had cheerleading after school so I sat and drew for the time. I filled up six pages when the practice eneded. I waited for Elena by her car. I waited for a while, and after about ten minutes Elena came up.
"Hey,
"Hey, I have a favor," she got to the point. I groaned inside my head. I loved my sister dearly, but when it came to favors for her, it was impossible.
"Sure, what'd you need?"
"How do you feel about a dinner party tonight?"
