Okay, time for Chapter 3! :) This one is a bit short, but it's leading up to the next which is my favorite one yet.

Damon

I got in my car and drove around until I found a bar that was at least halfway decent and far enough away from my current problems.

I walked in and took a seat by the bar and slid my jacket off. I compelled the very sexy female bartender to keep giving me drinks until I told her to stop while I tried to think of my next move.

I glanced down the bar and spotted the back of a head that could only belong to one person. I stood up and started to walk over there. "What a surprise." I said.

They turned around, but didn't look at all surprised to see me. "Damon."

I took a seat beside them. "I thought you were supposed to be dead." I said. "So, who pulled the dagger out?"

Elijah smiled. "An old friend."

"So why are you here?"

"Probably for a reason very similar to yours, Mr. Salvatore." He answered.

"If it involves a hybrid and a ripper douche bag, then yes."

He half laughed. "Then I assume the lovely Elena is nearby as well."

"She's with Stefan." I mumbled. But before Elijah could say anything in return, a voice from behind us stopped him.

"Oh God, can we please not talk about her right now?"

I turned to see a face that brought me so much pain and happiness at the same time that it hurt. "Katherine."

"Hi Damon. It's good to see you again. You look so much better when you're not dying of a werewolf bite."

I smirked. "So this is the old friend? And here I was only thinking that the first part was true."

Katherine pretended to be hurt. "Ouch." She nudged me over enough to take a seat between Elijah and I.

"Thanks for the tip by the way."

She smiled. "Anything to help you and my annoying little doppelganger."

I rolled my eyes. "So, I'm guessing that you two have a plan?"

Katherine smiled. "Of course. And it's a damn good one if I say so myself."

"Well what is it?"

Katherine took my drink from me and took a long sip. "I think before we can tell you that, you're going to need to know a little bit more about the whole story." She said. "Elijah?" He just looked at her. "Come on," She pouted. "We need all the allies we can get."

"Alright." He agreed.

This is all for now, but the next chapter is all about The Originals and their story with Charlotte Petrova and flashbacks included. With a little bit of Stefan and Elena as well. :)
