Quick side note: I started a new community, it's called "I Intend to be Your Last." It's a Klaroline community. Please, check it out if you have time. I am happy to add stories that you suggest and since you all know what I mean by smut I don't have to clarify. Anyway, I also have a crossover between The Vampire Diaries and The Originals story planned called The New Old Fashioned Way. I'll begin posting it sometime mid-December.
Hello, my lovely readers. It's time to see if your predictions are correct who Mike is and to see what else can wrong. Enjoy the chapter. I'll see you at the bottom!
Chapter 13: What Happens at the Party Stays at the Party
"I don't want to go to another lame party." Caroline moaned flopping down on Elena's bed. The brunette was holding a red dress in front of her examining the angles. "I mean, seriously, Lena, I was nearly killed the last time we went to a party." She groaned.
"I know, Care but Damon really wanted to throw this party for Mike to welcome him to Mystic Falls." Elena bit her lip laying the dress aside.
Sitting up, Caroline puffed out her cheeks. "Yes, and it is very sweet the way that Damon has been spending so much time with Mike. I think Mike felt really uncomfortable when he arrived and now he has a BFF." Giggling, Caroline flipped open her phone. "Speaking of BFFs we need Bonnie." She exclaimed as she typed.
Elena frowned. She had forgotten about their magically talented friend while she and Damon spent most of their time with Caroline and Mike. Elena had been sure that she was right about Mike being close but he had been proven to be an incredibly sweet and considerate boyfriend to Caroline. There was no way that he was secretly Klaus.
Smiling, Elena watched Caroline giddly typing away. "Does Bonnie have that much to say?" Elena teased.
"Nope," Caroline replied. "I'm texting Mike." Sitting up she suddenly became quite serious. "So, I think this is going to be the night."
Picking up a tube of lip gloss Elena began to apply it to her lips. "Okay."
Throwing her hands up in the air Caroline was exasperated. "Really. Okay! That's all you can say."
Turning around Elena quirked an eyebrow. "Care, it's not your first time so what's the big deal? I thought you didn't worry about these kinds of things."
Flopping backwards, Caroline picked up a pillow and placed it over her face. "I know," came her muffled reply before Elena walked over and pulled the pillow away. But Mike's special. I've never felt this way about a guy. I think I'm in love with him."
Sitting down, Elena sucked in a deep breath. "Are you sure? You haven't known him very long."
"I know, Lena. I'm sure." Caroline's eyes were glowing and despite the fact she was trying to not grin her lips kept quirking upward.
"Well, then we're just going to have to make you as irresistible as possible for tonight's party." Elena told Caroline while taking her friend's hands and pulling her to her feet.
An hour later they were ready and dashed down the stairs. "Bye, Jenna, Alaric." They called running out the door. Caroline stopped in her tracks when she saw Mike leaning up against a Porsche. He was wearing a blue suit and his smirk was in place. "Caroline," He greeted.
Elena watched her friend walk toward the man she was in love with. Pulling out her phone Elena wondered where her boyfriend was at the moment. It had been Damon who had informed her that Stefan had left the country and Stefan hadn't even attempted to call her since he left. Sighing, she stuffed her phone back into her purse.
"Good evening, Elena." Mike greeted, holding out a hand to help her into the back of the car.
"Good evening, Mike." Elena said. He was always very polite. Almost too polite. She tried to restrain thoughts like these as Mike and Caroline talked about what they would do at the party. It was difficult to shake the feeling that there was more to Mike than he let on. Elena frowned, staring at him in the review mirror. If only she knew someone who had known Klaus… Then she would know for sure.
Elena's thoughts were interrupted when they pulled up into the Salvatore's parking lot. There were already many cars parked and they ended up parking at the end of the drive. "Aren't you worried about being blocked in?" Caroline asked looking behind the car at the space in which other party goers would park.
"That's alright I'll just rip their limbs off and dispose of their vehicles in a place where they will be stripped down to spare parts." Mike replied with a wide grin.
Elena and Caroline's eyes grew wide with shock. "I'm kidding." Mike reassured them lightly just as Damon snuck up on Elena from behind.
Picking Elena up Damon growled into her ear. "I am a vicious vampire. Beware of my fangs. Grr."
Elena laughed whacking at his hands. "Put me down, Damon." She protested as he threw her over his shoulder.
"Not till you dance until you can't stand up." Damon replied winking at Mike.
"They're cute together." Mike informed Caroline as they walked toward the Boarding House.
Caroline folded her arms and scoffed. "Elena has a boyfriend, Stefan."
"And he is where?" Mike inquired lacing his fingers behind his back as he sidled behind Caroline.
"Really?" Caroline stopped and whirled around to face Mike. "Is that really what you think?" Placing her hands on her hips Caroline was ready for a fight. "Then you won't mind me dancing with every other guy in attendance tonight." Turning around she began to stalk off.
Mike suddenly appeared in front of Caroline, his eyes glowing with rage. "Do not turn your back on me, Caroline." He snarled.
Caroline's jaw dropped. Mike had never spoken to her in that manner before and she felt a chill run up her back. "We… we need to go… inside." She straightened her posture and walked around him.
Standing outside by himself Mike stared up at the nearly full moon. 'Soon. Soon I will have the blasted moonstone. The blasted doppleganger and I can stop with this ridiculous Mike nonsense.' His feelings for Caroline would not get in the way. He was Niklaus Mikealson and love was a vampire's greatest weakness. It certainly would be Damon's.
Walking inside Klaus walked into the great room to see the happy couple dancing to music which made him want to kill the DJ. True to her word Caroline was dancing with Matt Donavon and Klaus felt a lump form in his throat. This couldn't be his humanity. He had worked too hard to stifle that part of himself at bay for far too long. Staring at the girl he felt himself moving forward and tapping the boy on the shoulder.
"Hello, I think you might want to find another partner." He informed the quarterback. When the boy walked away in a daze he gathered Caroline into his arms. "Caroline, I am sorry that I snapped at you."
"Good. And don't do it again." Caroline retorted, burying her face in his shoulder.
Across the room Damon was twirling Elena until she became dizzy. "Damon!" she shouted.
"Okay, break time." Damon replied. They hurried out of the room and went into the kitchen. Before Elena could say anything Damon pulled her into his arms and began to kiss her.
Pushing him away lightly Elena looked up at him. "Damon, we can't do this."
"Rule one: What happens at the party stays at the party." Damon said huskily into Elena's ear.
Sighing, Elena allowed him to pull her to him and they begin to kiss again. When pushed up against the counter she didn't protest even as he pushed her skirt up. "Elena," Damon moaned.
"Hmm…" Elena moaned as they slipped to the floor. Elena pulled his shirt off and then reached down and unzipped his pants.
"Are you sure?" Damon asked quietly.
Elena nodded. "Okay," Damon whispered as he pulled her underwear off and then began to run his mouth up and down her neck. Pulling her legs up around his waist he was surprised to feel like this was his first time again. Moving with Elena Damon realized that as much as he cared about Caroline that this was different. This was incredible.
Smiling as he pressed his lips to Elena's Damon didn't ever want to stop touching her. Every part of her. To be bathed in her scent and to feel her warmth against his cool skin. Rolling onto his back Damon watched in wonder as Elena moved above him. "You're a goddess."
Elena shook her head with a grin. "No, I'm only human."
"Elena, Damon." Caroline called before she appeared in front of them. "Oh, my God. Elena!" Caroline cried out. "Damon, did you compel her?" Caroline yelled as Klaus came up behind her. "Mike, I think Damon compelled her to have sex with him. This is unbelievable. Stefan hasn't even been gone that long. And now I'm sure you've been lying this whole time. You are Damon Salvatore. I can't believe you. I helped you. Ugh." Throwing up her hands, Caroline walked away in disgust. Klaus followed her out.
Elena got to her feet. "I need to go."
"What?" Damon asked. He reached out for Elena's hand. She pulled away.
"No, Damon. I need to go. Okay." Elena grabbed her underwear and jerked them on before hurrying out of the room.
Elena was hurrying out of the house and into the dark. She was walking down the driveway when she saw Mike and Caroline. Mike had been talking to Caroline ; then he tipped her face up to his. Elena felt like she was seeing something she shouldn't as she watched the couple. But there was no way she could pass them without revealing that she had been there the entire time.
Feeling relieved when Mike walked Caroline over to his car Elena was surprised when he walked back down the driveway toward her. "Elena, do you need a ride home?"
Shaking her head, Elena offered him a weak smile. "No, you guys, go ahead."
"Be careful." Mike replied. "The full moon is nearly out and all kinds of creatures are attracted to it. I would hate to see anything happen to you."
Rubbing her arms due to the fall wind picking up and lack of a jacket Elena began to make her way down the driveway. When she was at the end of it Damon appeared in front of her. "Go away, Damon." Walking around him she turned the corner and began to walk in the direction of her home.
"Elena, it's late and you shouldn't walk home by yourself." Damon responded falling into step with her.
"Just leave me alone." Elena whispered wrapping her arms more tightly around herself.
Damon groaned but allowed her to walk a couple of feet in front of him. "I didn't mean for it to happen like that, Elena." He called out from behind her.
Elena refused to interact with him. She kept walking in silence until her anger got the best of her. Spinning around she glared. "How do I know that you didn't compel me? How do I know that Caroline isn't right about what she said? How am I supposed to know that you aren't Damon Salvatore because this is the exact type of thing he would do?"
Stunned, Damon could only stand there and stare. Looking at some point behind Elena he felt that anger he wasn't used to being touched by and without a word he was running away from Elena and away from Damon Salvatore's life. She could find her own way home.
It took Damon all of five blocks to stop himself and speed back far enough to see Elena but to not be seen. She had just cheated on her boyfriend. The brother of the vampire whose body he was residing in. What was he thinking? He might not have just ruined Elena's relationship with Stefan. He might have just ruined Damon's relationship with Stefan as well. This was all just so wrong.
Watching Elena walk into her house he didn't know who to turn to. He couldn't go to Caroline because of what she said. He couldn't go to Mike because he was probably with Caroline. Then it dawned on him. Pulling out his phone he dialed a now familiar phone number. "Ric, are you with Jenna? … Can I come over; I really need to talk to somebody? ... Okay. I'll be there in five."
Damon hung up and turned away from Elena's house. He didn't see the other vampire approach the house. He was already speeding off toward Ric's house.
Did you like the twists? I hope you did because I'm trying to keep it exciting. Again, it won't be too long before we switch back to Damon Salvatore. I'm just trying to build on this alternate version of Damon and what happens in his life will affect the other Damon. If that makes any sense at all.
