Damon POV

The white light followed our car as we sped down the road. It was getting closer despite flooring the gas as we drove.

I took a sharp turn almost sending the car flying of the road. My vampire reflexes were the only thing that saved us from going over the town's bridge.

Stephen tried to avoid sounded panicked but failed miserably.

"Just because we're already technically dead doesn't mean were indestructible brother."

I looked down in frustration at the automatic gears.

"My driving isn't the problem the problem, you're the one that HAD to buy a hybrid. We are rich Stephen we could afford a Lamborghini. When being chased by mystical lights a sports car with a killer engine and shitty gas mileage would be more helpful."

Stephen looked behind them and the ball of light slowly moved nearer.

"We live in a small town not on the banks of the Louvre. The kinda car you want stands out around here. We're supposed to blend in."

I hit the steering will in frustration, "Yes and your need to blend is going to get us killed." After seeing his brothers face I backed down,

"Never mind me, I'm just pissed I can't make this thing move faster."

Stephen laughed as we entered a more woody area outside of town, "If an immortal vampire dies in the woods will anyone hear them scream?"

I grinned back in return, "We survived a visit from the Originals, it's wrong to die from ET."

The light settled over the car and then did absolutely nothing. I slowed the car since trying to outrun it was pointless.

Stephen looked up at the ball of light sitting on our roof, "Well we can be pretty sure it's not a weapon, because if it was, we'd be dead by now."

Coming over the ridge we saw another car passing us. The passing driver didn't seem to notice the disco ball sitting on Stephen's car. I shrugged,

"Either the light is only visible to supernatural beings, or the human driver was smart enough to see our predicament and keep on driving."

Suddenly a speeding car headed toward them. Once they became visible the other car started blowing its horn wildly to get their attention. It's one of their spare cars.

Both cars pulled over to the shoulder of the road as the white globe disappeared. William hopped out with Zack and walked toward out car.

Stephen glared at me, when I showed up before he was mad but seeing Will made it worse

"You brought William to town, are you crazy. If they find out that…"

I waved my hand dismissively,

"Will is my best friend. I needed someone to have my back since I'm an orphan and all. "

Will smiled and hugged me,

"I think you have to be underage to be considered an orphan; you both over 100 years old. I think you can manage without a parent around."

I snorted, "Tell me you know anything about a bright light tail gating us. It's gone now."

Zach stepped forward looking sheepish,

"When William told me you were in danger I dusted of a few locator spells. They were natural earth spells nothing else. I can tell you the details later but we all need to leave tonight."

Stephen noticed the Grimoire in his uncle's hand.

"I'm sorry you started your magic again before you was ready, thank you Zach. Now will someone please tell me what's going on? Does it have to do anything with the Originals?"

Zach looked at the small group,

"To sum it up, someone is munching on the students of Mystic Falls, and the town council is aiming to have an old fashion torch party to take out all the vampires in town. What do the originals have to do with this?"

Stephen handed Zach a file,

"We can't leave town the Originals are expecting our help. If we run from an Original we will spend our entire lives running."

I walked back to his car waving for the others to follow,

"Let's not stand here; we have to find the Ripper. If not, our Neighbors will stake us or the Originals will hold us responsible as the resident vampires."

Will went to the back on the trunk removing stakes, spikes and Vervain grenades,

"I figured you guys wouldn't skip town so plan B it is. I have enough gear for all of us."

After dividing the weapons we headed back into town, we had a rogue vampire to find, just another weekend of small town life.
