Alaric dropped Damon to the ground. Damon just sat there panting, "Well aren't you going to kill me?" he finally groaned.
"No, apparently your important to someone, who is important to me." Alaric said gruffly. "I thought that vampires couldn't procreate?" he said as Damon stood up.
"I told you I am not a vampire anymore." Damon said brushing his pants off.
"How is that even possible?" Alaric said angrily.
"Magic, mostly." Damon replied not wanting to discuss anything further with this man.
"It doesn't seem possible, after all my research…" Alaric began quickly stopping himself.
"Wait, what do you mean research, what are you?" Damon said his eyes narrowing.
"I… I hunt vampires. After what you did to Izzy." Alaric replied.
"So, you're a vampire hunter?" Damon said surprised.
"I guess you could say that, yeah." Alaric gritted his teeth.
Damon suddenly got a great idea. "What do you know about the Originals?" he asked.
"Hush, we can't talk about this here." Alaric said dragging Damon with him to a car.
"Where are we going why can't you just tell me what you know about …" Alaric pushed his hand over Damon's mouth before he could finish the word.
"I said be quiet," Alaric said putting the car in drive.
"Okay." Damon said shutting his mouth, this guy obviously meant business.
They drove for some time coming to an apartment building, "Come on get out and follow me." Alaric commanded. Damon followed, not wanting to fight anymore.
When they got up to the stuffy apartment Damon was shocked to see all the news paper clippings, all of murders, murders that he himself had committed. Damon took a deep breath in.
"I have been following you for months," Alaric said pulling a bottle of bourbon out and taking a swig right from the bottle.
"I can tell." Damon commented at the piles of news paper.
"But I haven't been just watching you, I have been researching. Trying to find out all about vampires." Alaric said pulling out a book. "Why do you need information about the Originals?" he asked.
"Because, one of them has my brother." Damon said point blank.
"Which one?" Alaric asked seriously.
"Klaus." Damon said bluntly.
Alaric spit the alcohol out of his mouth.
"Two witches and Two vampires have already gone to get my brother back, I want to know if I just sent them into a death trap. Now what do you know!" Damon yelled.
"You just condemned your friends to death." Alaric said firmly.
Damon's eyes went wide, "What do you mean?" he said loudly.
"Klaus can not be killed Damon, not by regular stakes," Alaric informed him, Damon felt his blood running cold.
"What do you mean?" Damon said feeling a sudden urge to throw up, he swallowed hard.
"I mean that when the originals were created over 1000 years ago, they were made invincible, the only person capable of killing them or that knows how to, is their father Mikael." Alaric responded.
"Where is this Mikael guy?" Damon asked instantly.
"Nobody knows, rumor is that he is in a tomb somewhere." Alaric said taking another swig of the bottle.
Damon felt all the blood rush from his face.
"Look I can help you get your brother back, but first you have to do something for me." Alaric responded.
"Okay, name your price." Damon said, he would pay anything or do anything to save Stefan.
"First call off your search party, then you are going to tell me everything you know about Isobel and why she wanted to be a vampire." Alaric said firmly.
"Okay." Damon replied, that wasn't a big demand, but he felt like that wasn't the end of it.
He phoned Bonnie.
"Hey, we are almost in New Orleans." Bonnie replied.
"You need to come back to Mystic Falls, and you need to hurry." Damon said in a panicked voice.
"Oh no did something happen with Elena is she alright?!" Bonnie nearly screamed.
"Elena is fine, its all of you that are in danger. Klaus can't be killed." Damon said quickly.
"What do you mean can't be killed?" Bonnie felt her heart beat fast.
"I met some guy at the bar, he's a researcher of sorts, knows a lot about vampires. Klaus can't be killed with regular stakes; some guy name Mikael is the only one that can kill him." Damon explained.
"Damon one-minute Grams wants to talk." Bonnie said handing the phone to her Grams.
"Damon, you calm down child, everything will be fine. We will keep with the plan." Grams replied.
"Are you crazy! old woman did you not hear what I said, Klaus can't be killed!" Damon said gruffly.
"I heard you, but he can be weakened, I know all about the Original's Damon. We will be fine." Grams said before hanging up the phone.
"Wait! Sheila don't hang up that phone!" Damon gritted his teeth.
"They won't come back." Damon said to Alaric.
"Why? You told them what would happen?" Alaric was confused.
"The old Bennett witch is crazy." Damon groaned. "She said he can be weakened and that she knows all about the Originals." Damon said rubbing his face with his hands.
Alaric tapped a little pencil on the table, "Well, she is right that he can be weakened, but why would she want him to stay alive, unless…" Alaric said his eyes wide as he grabbed the book and read.
"If an Original Vampire is killed, all vampires of their bloodline will be killed as well. The only way to kill an Original is…..(the page was heavily damaged) by the hands of Mikael."
Alaric read the passage allowed.
"This Bennett witch you talk about, she must think that your brother is part of Klaus's bloodline. It's the only thing that makes sense." Alaric interpreted.
Damon felt sick, the creature that had his brother couldn't be killed or else Stefan would die too.
"I don't understand." Damon was so confused.
"It is the only logical reason," Alaric said.
"Okay, but… ugh this is so fucked up!" Damon said ripping at his hair.
"Not as fucked up as what you did to Jenna's niece!" Alaric jabbed.
"Look you don't know anything okay." Damon yelled.
"I know that you are a old mother fucking vampire, that killed my wife and has now violated my girlfriends niece." Alaric spit back.
Damon had enough of Alaric's threats, he pinned the history teacher to the counter. "You don't know anything about Elena and me. I love her, and she loves me. We were destined to be together, that's why I am human okay! I did a spell to protect her and it turned me human! She is pregnant with some sort of magical baby that possesses a bunch of magic, I am trying to keep her safe, find my brother and figure out this fucking human shit. I don't have time for drunk ass history teachers coming in and going off on me!" Damon shouted, not realizing he was crying, that he had let go of Alaric and was now kneeling on the floor.
"Woah man calm down, I am sorry." Alaric replied looking at the very broken man before him.
"Jesus, would you just let me go home please, I don't know what Isobel wanted when she asked me to turn her. I had my humanity off okay. Vampires do stupid shit when their switch is off. I just know that she wanted to be a vampire." Damon said getting off the ground and going to the door.
"Wait!" Alaric said as Damon went to leave, "I can help you, to figure out the magical baby stuff." Alaric responded.
"What?" Damon said his brows furrowed.
"I know a doctor at the hospital, she specializes in supernatural phenomenon." Alaric responded.
"What do you mean?" Damon said.
"She's a witch, a powerful one, more powerful than the Bennett line. She comes from a Coven called the Gemini's. Elena is going to need to see a doctor soon, she should see one that knows about the supernatural, obviously the baby isn't normal…" Alaric commented. Damon knew Alaric was right.
"Fine, but don't tell Jenna any of this, not yet. Please." Damon begged.
"Okay, but don't expect me to keep it a secret forever." Alaric responded.
Damon nodded as he walked out the apartment door, he walked back to Elena's he had to see her. He had to apologize.
Elena and Jenna were sitting in the living room eating chocolate ice cream out of the tub. Watching a rerun of Friends.
"So, El, what happened?" Jenna asked concerned for her niece.
"I said something I shouldn't have." Elena said taking a large spoon of ice cream.
"Oh El, I am sure that Damon will get over it soon." Jenna replied.
"Its not that, he got over it. Its me, I was mad that he got upset. So I told him I didn't want to talk to him until tomorrow, that I wanted time alone." Elena mumbled.
"Oh El, you're a girl sometimes we are emotional! Just tell him its your time of the month." Jenna laughed, Elena cringed, maybe she was emotional, maybe it was the baby.
Elena suddenly felt her stomach turn. She rushed to the bathroom and threw up, 'so much for not throwing up today, thanks baby.' She thought to herself. Jenna rushed behind her.
"Elena what's wrong? Jeremy said you were sick the other day, oh no are you on some sort of diet?" Jenna was worried for her niece's health.
"No Aunt Jenna I am fine, I must have eaten too much ice cream," Elena tried to lie, but she just felt sick again.
"Elena Marie Gilbert, what is going on? Why are you so sick?" Jenna was so worried.
"I don't know Aunt Jenna, it just happens sometimes, its probably just a flu." Elena lied. Jenna could tell there was something Elena wasn't telling her.
"Elena, please tell me the truth, honey are you pregnant?" Jenna asked her eyes soft. Elena couldn't hold it back anymore she just cried.
"Oh El." Aunt Jenna held her, "Its going to be okay, is this what you and Damon are fighting about?" Jenna was fuming.
"No…" Elena croaked out.
Just then the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it 'Lena you go upstairs and clean up okay, we will talk more about this after." Jenna said as she went to answer the door.
Damon stood on the other side of the door, more nervous than he had ever been in his life.
Jenna opened the door, "Um, can I talk to Elena?" Damon asked politely.
Jenna felt like she was seeing red, but she held it together. "She's really upset Damon, she went to have a shower." Damon nodded.
"But please come in, there is something I need to talk to you about." Jenna said coldly, Damon felt a pit in his stomach.
"Okay," he said as he walked in the house taking his shoes off and shutting the door.
Silence filled the room as they sat down at the kitchen table.
"So, um I don't even really know how to start this conversation." Jenna said putting her head in her hands.
Damon felt bile reaching his throat, 'dammit Elena told her.'
"Miss Jenna, I know what you are going to say, and honestly there is more to this story that meets the eye." Damon responded.
"So, you know then?" Jenna sighed in what appeared to be relief.
"Yeah I know." He said looking down at the floor.
"You realize that this isn't appropriate right? Like not legal?" Jenna muttered.
"Jenna, there are a lot of things you don't know about me, legality is the last thing you need to be worrying about." Damon bluntly said.
"What exactly are you talking about?" Jenna said shocked.
"I think that we need to wait until Elena gets down here," Damon sighed.
Elena heard voices as she walked out of her bedroom.
"Damon? What are you doing here?" Elena said as she got to the kitchen.
"Your Aunt knows?" he said in a questioned tone.
"I couldn't keep it from her anymore." She replied defensively.
"Yes, I realize that, I came here to tell you we need to tell her anyway." He sighed.
"Oh," Elena replied, Jenna sat there confused.
"Alaric attacked me tonight, so I figured it would be best that we told Jenna the truth all of it." Damon mumbled.
"Alaric attacked you?!" Jenna was in shock.
"Jenna, I told you there are things you don't know about me." Damon sighed, as he began the story from the beginning.
"Oh my god, ha-ha this is hilarious I mean really guys? I know that Elena is underage, and I am sure you think I will call the cops, but I promise I wont, but vampires? Come on could you not have come up with another excuse?" Jenna laughed sarcastically.
"Aunt Jenna, Damon is not lying, he and his brother are, or I mean were vampires. Stefan still is but Damon isn't because of the stuff Sheila did." Elena sighed.
"Okay, I realize how hard this is to understand so lets just let Sheila talk to her Elena." Damon said pulling out his phone and calling the old Bennett witch.
"Damon? We are almost to Bourbon street, don't worry." The old woman's voice sounded through the phone.
"I wish I was calling to check up, but I need you to talk to Jenna Sommers for me." Damon groaned in the phone.
"Oh, dear did Elena tell her?" Grams cringed.
"Yes, unintentionally, and now she doesn't believe us, this could be serious, we don't know what Klaus will do if he finds out about the baby Sheila." Damon grimaced.
"Put her on the phone Damon." Grams replied.
Damon handed the phone over to a very confused Jenna.
As they talked Jenna's face went from amused to terrified. She handed Damon the phone back, her face was pale.
"Yeah thanks, call me when you are on your way back." Damon said as he hung up the phone.
Jenna sat there in shock.
"I didn't want to believe you, it sounded so far fetched, but I've known Sheila Bennett all my life." Jenna felt sick.
"I am sorry Aunt Jenna," Elena said tears in her eyes.
"Elena, its not your fault, obviously this was out of your control, both of you. I am sorry I didn't believe you," Jenna said as she went to them both and pulled them into a hug. Damon was taken back.
"I want you to stay here tonight please, I would feel much better knowing that you are both safe, and I will speak with Alaric tomorrow about what happened tonight." Jenna said going to the kitchen and grabbing two wine glasses.
"Damon?" she asked taking a bottle of wine out of the fridge and nodding it to him, he smiled and nodded.
They all sat in the living room, Elena with a glass of milk and Jenna and Damon with glasses of wine.
"So, your telling me that this whole time Zach wasn't sick? And that Elena you have been fighting for your life?" Jenna was shocked.
"Yes, and the only way was for Elena and I to be merged together so to speak. We didn't really think that me being semi human would result in, well." Damon blushed.
"I was young once I know what happens with hormones." Jenna smirked.
"I am not young Miss Jenna, I was born in 1839." Damon snorted.
"Well Damon for a man of your age I must say you look fine." Jenna winked, Elena choked on her milk. They all laughed, their laughing must have woken up Jeremy because he groggily walked down the stairs. He was unnoticed.
"So about the baby? Sheila said it is magical? What does that mean?" Jenna wondered.
"Well we don't really know, just that he posses a lot of power, something to do with the merger and then when Klaus bit Elena all of the magic went right to the baby." Damon sighed.
"I still can't believe I didn't know about any of this, I am that oblivious. Sheila Bennet was right to call me out on my parenting," Jenna mumbled.
"Its not your fault Aunt Jenna, I should have told you from the beginning." Elena sighed, unknown to any of them Jeremy stood on the stairs his eyes wide, 'what the hell?' he thought to himself.
"Alaric told me he knows a doctor at the hospital that specializes in magical phenomenon he figures she will be able to help with the baby." Damon said taking a large sip of wine.
"I can't believe Ric never told me any of this." Jenna moaned.
"Yeah, well I am sure he didn't want to tell you he was stalking some vampire that he thought killed his wife." Damon groaned. "I still can't believe I did that, when you're a vampire you do a lot of stupid shit." Damon moaned, Elena put her hand over his.
"You're not the same person anymore Damon." Elena said smiling at him.
"Yeah, I guess." He replied.
Jeremy started walking back up the stairs, this had to be a dream. His foot stepped on a squeaky stair, his eyes went wide.
Everyone heard the squeak.
