Twisted Love
Season Two
The House Guest
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Vampire Diaries, I only own Grace and Fayth :)
Damon woke up to see a beautiful brunette smiling down at him, her bright brown eyes sparkled in the sun the crept through the curtains shinning onto her pale skin. He looked up into her bright orbs and smiled to himself, thinking he was so lucky to have found her.
"Morning, handsome." She purred raking her hands through his tousled raven black hair.
"Morning, beautiful." Damon smiled as he leaned up and kissed her passionately, rolling her over so that she was under him.
"You know I like being on top." The brunette purred as she spun him over at supernatural speed placing soft kisses on his rock hard chest "mmm, you're stronger than I remember, Damon."
"Damon?" A shocked voice came from the door way, Damon's eyes became wide as he saw an another doppelgänger on top of him and one in the doorway.
"What is Fayth still doing here?" Fayth spat at Grace pretending to be her.
"Are you kidding?" Grace growled "She's kidding right?"
"Damon, get rid of her." Fayth pouted "I really hate it when she interrupts up."
Damon rose from his place of the bed and stared blankly at the two, he wasn't sure which one was which, they were both so similar, both of their hair was dead straight, both their eyes sparkling with anger... He was so confused.
"I... I." Damon stuttered.
"Damon, please tell me you're not being serious. I'm Grace." Grace announced pointing to herself.
"No, I'm Grace." Fayth spoke up pouting gently "Why else would I be in your bed? With you?"
"Why else would I have the necklace?" Grace spat holding her necklace that Damon had given her when she first turned "That you gave me!"
"Damn." Fayth pouted.
Grace narrowed her eyes and zipped across to Fayth and held her against the wall by her throat, she growled at her intensely narrowing her eyes.
"Don't touch him again." Grace warned a wave of jealously washing over her "And don't ever try to be me again."
"I'm stronger than you, Gracie." Fayth smirked but was still unable to break free of Grace's hold.
"Yeah, well I'm anger." Grace pulled Fayth's head off the wall and slammed it back down onto it with all her strength denting the wall under the force "Now, get out and never call me Gracie again." Fayth pouted as she walked from the room rubbing her head, turning Grace caught eyes with her boyfriend, they were lust filled.
"That was so sexy." He told her.
"Don't even think about it." She warned him her eyes sparkling with a death threat "She shouldn't have touched you." Grace added shortly putting her lip gloss on "Let's go get some blood." She took his hand leading him downstairs.
Elena and Stefan were in his room, the human doppelgänger was searching the room for her school bag but unable to find it anywhere, at this rate they were going to be late.
"Stefan, we're late for school." Elena told him seeing that he wasn't full ready to go either.
"Let's be later." He smirked seductively.
"Stefan, it's school. Remember, that thing that we keep forgetting about?" Elena laughed.
"School?" He kissed her passionately "Doesn't ring a bell." he picked her up and dropped her in a heap on the bed.
"Stefan! Stefan!" She screamed but he began to kiss her neck "Ok, 5 minutes, only 5 minutes."
"5 minutes." Stefan scoffed as he began to kiss her.
A little while later Katherine walked into the room seeing Damon trying to make it up to Grace when she thought it was her earlier but it was really Fayth.
"Grace, I already said I was sorry." Damon growled "What else do you want me to do? I thought it was you."
"You were making out with your ex." Grace spat.
"I thought it was you!" Damon growled "It was early and I was being my usual self in the morning, you know how I am-"
"Morning." Katherine laughed, she was pretending to be Elena again.
Grace exchanges a glance with Damon narrowing her eyes before rushing towards her forcing her against the wall, Katherine looked surprised, they had caught her already.
"What are you doing here?" Damon growled as Grace continued to hold her "I told you to leave. Both of you."
"What is your problem." Katherine spat at Grace.
"You're wearing her clothes? Like that's going to work." Grace scoffed "I think I know my own twin."
"You think I'm Katherine." Katherine gawped at Grace "Why would you think that? Katherine and Fayth are in the tomb! Aren't they!"
"Oops." Grace released Katherine her eyes wide, the oldest vampire smirked to herself "I think we screwed up." She muttered to Damon.
"Now it's we." Damon growled and they began to argue again.
"What the hell is going on?" Stefan walked in the room to see Katherine rubbed her throat softly.
"I don't know, you tell me. Is Katherine in the tomb or not!"
Stefan, Grace and Damon rush upstairs to see Elena getting ready for school, running her hands through her hair flattening it, Stefan shoves her back against the wall holding her there firmly by her neck.
"What are you doing!" Elena rasped.
"How could you do this!" Stefan spat.
"Stefan, you're hurting me!" Elena begged.
"Stop it, Katherine!" Stefan demanded.
"Stop what?" Katherine was standing behind the three vampires with Fayth by her side, both of them laughing "It's getting really easy being you."
Damon, Stefan, Grace, Elena, Fayth and Katherine were all sat up in Stefan's bedroom discussing the recent events of Katherine and Fayth being back in the picture.
"What are they doing here?" Elena asked.
"When we killed Elijah, it broke the compulsion and freed the bitches from the tomb." Damon replied.
"How's that possible?" Stefan asked.
"He's an Original. They have all sorts of special skills." Fayth wiggled her fingers magically.
"I don't want them here. Get them out of here." Elena ordered.
"I second that." Grace glared at Fayth.
"You need us, Elena. You all do." Katherine purred.
"Like hell." Grace spat.
"We all want the same thing... Klaus dead. Yet here you all are, running around like chickens with their heads cut off." Fayth added.
"I don't need your help and I don't want it." Elena told her firmly.
"And that's incredibly stupid of you. Do you know where Klaus? When he's coming? What's he look like?" Fayth asked all the questions that none of them knew answer to.
"If you know something say it or get out." Damon warned.
"Fine. Then I'll just go to the Grill and have some lunch... maybe Aunt Jenna's free for a bite." Fayth smiled at Katherine.
Elena and Stefan sighed as they walked from the room to go get there stuff, Grace was sipping at her blood ignoring Damon, he place his hand on her shoulder and she shrugged it off.
"What's wrong?" Damon asked confused.
"Nothing..." Grace replied "I just... I expect the man I love to know who I am, know that I'm not some psycho 500 year old bitch."
"I can hear you." Fayth called begrudgingly.
"Good." Grace spat.
"I want them gone just as much as you do, Gracie." Damon took her hands, but she quickly pulled them away.
"You were more than happy to sit with her in bed this morning." Grace spat.
"Are you serious? Are we still going on about this?" Damon scoffed "I thought it was you..."
"But it wasn't!" Grace growled "I'm the girl you've been sharing your bed with for the last god knows how long." the youngest vampire told him clearly upset "I just... I expect you to remember that you gave me this." She held out the necklace "Remember that it's mean you're in love with... not her."
"I did remember. I do!" Damon nodded "Maybe now you know how it feels to be jealous."
Grace's eyes widened "What?" Grace whispered "jealous!"
"No, Grace... I-"
"No, you know what? It's fine. I'm going to school. Have fun here with Fayth." Grace growled as she walked from the house grabbing her bag as she left.
"Grace." He called but she was already gone.
"Oh, you screwed up." Fayth laughed.
Matt was standing at the notice board in the school putting up a flyer for the Grill, it was advertising a live band that were going to be playing there.
"Hey, Matt." Caroline smiled as she walked over.
"Hey." Matt smiled.
"Live band?" She noted.
"Yeah, business has been a little slow. The Grill's trying to stay afloat." Matt explained.
"Aren't we all?" Caroline muttered.
"Have you heard for Tyler?" Matt asked concerned for his best friend.
"Not a peep. You?" Caroline questioned.
"No, not since he stopped by the Grill to talk, and I've left messages on his cell phone..." Matt replied.
"He stopped by to see you? What did he say?" Caroline creased her eye brows.
"Not much, really. I mean... I think to say goodbye without really saying goodbye. I just didn't know it." Matt sighed heavily.
"And that's all he said?" Caroline asked.
"Yeah. Yeah, that's all he said, Caroline. Why? I mean, is there something you want to tell me?" Matt asked.
"Yeah! I... I mean, no, no... it's just not that easy." Caroline stuttered.
"I don't get it! Since when am I the one that can express himself and you're the one at a loss for words?" Matt asked frustrated.
"No, you're right, and I'm sorry." Caroline apologised.
"You know how I feel. So it's your move. Just make a decision or leave me alone." Matt told her firmly as he left.
Elena climbed out of Stefan's car as he parked up, she saw Grace walking across the parking lot looking angry, quickly they both caught up with her.
"We, uh, we heard your small argument with Damon this morning..." Stefan told her.
"Why are they still here?" Grace spat changing the subject "They were free."
"They want what we want... Klaus dead. Maybe they see us as their only chance." Stefan explained.
"Or maybe they're trying to lure you and Damon back into their webs... I want them gone." Grace told Stefan and Elena agreed.
"So do I." Stefan nodded putting his hands up innocently "But you're right, they stayed. Shouldn't we at least try and figure out why?"
"How? All they do is lie." Elena replied.
"Look, I hate it as much as you both do, but they do make a point. We don't know anything about Klaus. They do." Stefan pointed out.
"Right, but that doesn't mean I want her shaking up with Damon..." Grace growled.
"Damon wouldn't do that." Elena told her "He's crazy about you."
"He's crazy alright." Grace replied "Who is he to say I'm jealous." Grace growled but neither Elena or Stefan said a word.
"Well, maybe you could come over mine tonight, I told Bonnie and Caroline they could come over. Bonnie's freaked because she lost her powers and Caroline's having Matt drama again. It's a girl's night... And you've missed the last 2, it's about time you caught up." Elena laughed hugging Grace.
"Fine, maybe Katherine and Fayth could join us." Grace's eyes flared with sarcasm.
Damon was stood down in the cellar, he looked at his phone to see Grace hadn't text him back before picking the flamethrower up again and beginning to singe Elijah's body, it didn't appear to be doing any damage what-so-ever.
"mmm, burning flesh." Fayth purred as she stood in the doorway "If you're trying to get the dagger back, you're wasting your time. He's indestructible."
"No kidding." Damon muttered "How do you know so much about Original vampires?"
"Spend 500 years running from one." Fayth countered.
"So when I told you my plan to kill Elijah, why didn't you warn me that I'd die if I used the dagger on him?" Damon asked.
"Oh, there's so many rules. It's all very confusing." Fayth batted her eye lashes.
"Did you know I would die?" Damon growled.
"Did Elijah tell you his plan? Did he have a dagger to kill Klaus with?" Fayth asked changing subjects.
"Why are you still here?" Damon spat.
"Because you haven't forcibly removed me." Fayth smirked as she walked towards Elijah, Damon quickly turned on her holding the end of the flamethrower towards her, threatening to burn her alive.
"You wouldn't." Fayth stiffened.
"Oh, I would." Damon growled his eyes flashing with a challenge.
"Damon, be smart." Fayth gulped "I want Klaus dead just as much as you do. More. If I wasn't honest about helping, I'd be long gone by not with my sister, ok? You can hate me. But we want the same thing. And you know... I always get what I want." She purred as he lowered the weapon she was about to leave "I wanted out of the tomb, didn't matter who paid the price. Of course I knew that you'd die." She murmured as she walked from the room leaving Damon standing there angrily.
Stefan was standing with Jeremy and Bonnie who was stood in the hall of Mystic Falls High, they were talking about the recent return of Katherine and Fayth.
"They're out of the tomb?" Bonnie gawped.
"Yeah." Stefan nodded "We're dealing with it, alright? Just be extra careful. They're getting a little too good at impersonating Grace and Elena." He explained.
"With Katherine and Fayth around, we gotta find a way to get your powers back." Jeremy looked at the powerless witch concerned.
"Listen, I want to get the Martins on our side. I want to figure out a way to work together now that Elijah out of the picture." Stefan cooled the teen down.
"It's impossible." The witch spoke up "They hate us."
"It's either win them over or somebody's going to end up dead. You think you can at least convince them to have a civil conversation?" The vampire questioned.
"I'll try." Bonnie sighed as Stefan walked away "Ok. I gotta get to class."
"Alright, I'll see ya." He leaned in to kiss her but Bonnie laughed looking around nervously "C'mon. Elena's nowhere in sight." He convinced her and she stood on her tip toes to press a small kiss to his lips.
"I'll tell her soon, I promise." Bonnie nodded.
"Alright." Jeremy nodded.
Alaric was sitting in his classroom with Grace and Elena talking to them about how John had turned Jenna against him, both of the girls felt sorry for him, after what Jenna had been through his Logan she deserved a good man, Alaric was that man, and after Isobel had left Alaric dangling all that time, he need a good girl, Jenna was that girl.
"It was bad." Alaric started "You know, John planted all these seeds about Isobel and now Jenna knows I'm lying about something..."
"John's going to end up dead on the kitchen floor if he's not careful." Grace muttered "Double crossing Damon like that... does he have a death wish?"
"Yeah, well, easier said than done. I gave him back his ring so... Look, Jenna keeps asking me about Isobel. You know, was she murdered? Why haven't they found the body? I mean, how much long can she stay in the dark?" Alaric asked.
"You think we should tell her the truth?" Elena asked her eyes widening at the thought.
"I'm saying I can't be with her and not tell her. It's not fair to her, and it's not the kind of relationship I want." Alaric shook his head.
"Not to mention it's becoming more dangerous for her not to know." Grace added and Elena looked at her and nodded "I just thought that we'd at least hold off until after we dealt with Klaus... You know, and even then, how do we tell someone what we know? How does someone hear that?"
"Look, I'm sorry to put this on you both. But I feel it's your decision to make. And whatever you decide to do, I'll respect it. I want to be honest with her. But until then, Jenna and I are done."
Jonas and Luka were sitting inside of the Grill eating lunch when they were joined by both Stefan and Bonnie, they had asked them to meet them there, it felt safer a public place.
"Thank you for coming." Stefan nodded respectfully at them.
"I didn't want to but my son made a case to hear you out." Jonas shrugged.
"Bonnie said that you have information about Elijah." Luka asked.
Stefan glanced over at Bonnie before sighing heavily "Elijah's dead. I'm sorry."
Jonas and Luka both gawp at the young witch before Dr. Martin stands up about to leave, Stefan catches his shoulder to cease him from moving.
"Hear me out. We can help you." Stefan told him.
"We know that Klaus has your daughter. I'm sorry about the way I had to get the information, but it's good that we know. We can all work together to get her back." Bonnie informed them.
"How?" Luka asked.
"I suspect that you and Elijah had a plan to kill Klaus." Stefan eyed the older warlock carefully "Let us help you carry it out. You can trust us. I give you my word. We all do."
Damon was sitting alone in the parlour room of the Salvatore Boarding House organising all of Jonathan Gilbert's journals when Fayth and Katherine walk in the room watching in.
"What you up to?" Fayth asked.
"None of your business." Damon replied shortly.
"We're pouting now..." Fayth rolled her eyes "Are those the Gilbert journals?" she asked and when Damon didn't answer Fayth rolled her eyes "How are we supposed to help you if you won't tell me what you're up to?"
"Can you tell me where a bunch of witches were massacred in this town a couple of centuries ago?" Damon asked.
"No." Fayth pouted.
"Then you can't help." Damon countered, Fayth breathed out and went to reach for a journal, but Damon slapped her hand away, she pushed his arm playfully and then began to fight before ending up with Fayth underneath him laying down on a table, both breathing heavy.
"If it's any consolation, I'm glad you're not dead." Fayth purred touching his lips gently he shrugged her away and got up
"Emily Bennett told me about the massacre. It was a big deal in witch folklore. When a witch dies violently, they release a mystical energy marking the place of their with power." Katherine explained.
"Elijah wanted to know the site of the massacre." Damon noted.
"What was he going to do when he found it?" Katherine questioned.
"I don't know... What did papa witch and baby witch have to say?" Damon asked Stefan as he walked into the room.
"Aren't they gone or dead yet?" Stefan spat at the twins.
"For the last time, we're here to help." Katherine told him "Can we skip the secrets, hmm?"
"Elijah had no weapon to kill Klaus but he believed that if a witch could channel enough power... they wouldn't need one." Stefan explained.
"Like the power you get from a spot marked with a hundred dead witches?" Damon smirked.
"We just need to find it." Stefan smiled.
Jonas and Luka were in their apartment worrying about telling Stefan about Elijah's plan to kill Klaus, they were setting up the place for a powerful spell.
"But what if they can find the burial ground?" Luka asked.
"They won't." Jonas told him firmly "We tried, Luka, for weeks."
"We don't have a back-up plan, though, dad, and we need to be doing everything we can to save Greta." Luka's eyes were filled with worry for his sister Greta.
"We will save her but Elijah is the answer, not Stefan and his brother. Those people, they're out enemies. They need to be dealt with." Jonas growled.
"You're going to kill them?" Luka's eyed widened.
"No. I'm going to let Elijah do it." Jonas smiled.
At the Gilbert house Elena, Grace, Bonnie and Caroline were all stood in the kitchen looking through fast-food menus and playing musical loudly from Caroline's iPad.
"Chinese food or pizza?" Caroline asked.
"Like you have to ask." Elena smirked.
"I will get it." Caroline walked over to her bag and grabbed her iPad seeing a picture of her and Matt flash up, she sighed heavily.
"I'll do it." The witch took the device from her hand.
"Do you believe that Jonas is being sincere?" Grace asked throwing a pretzel into her mouth as she sat up on the counter her feet dangling high above the tiled floor.
"I don't know what to believe." Bonnie shook her head "I think he's at a loss. He's not sure who to trust."
"join the club." Elena muttered.
"Well, what are we going to do about this movie situation?" Caroline asked changing the subject looking through the shelves of DVDs "What about 'The Notebook'?" She offered.
"Caroline, how many times have you seen that movie?" Elena asked taking a seat next to Grace taking a pretzel from her hand.
"Oh, how about 'P.S I Love You'." Grace smiled sincerely "Gerald Butler's sexy Irish accent."
"That is a good idea." Bonnie smiled.
"But, 'The Notebook' rules." Caroline pouted as Jenna walked into the kitchen with a empty coffee mug.
"Hey." Elena smiled.
"What's going on?" Jenna asked.
"Girls' night." Grace answered.
"Oh." Jenna nodded.
"How are you doing?" Grace asked creasing her eye brows.
"You heard about my fight with Ric." Jenna muttered.
"He feels terrible." Grace told her honestly.
"Is this some kind of disguised attempt to cheer me up?" Jenna's eyes lit up, Grace and Elena glanced at each other before looking at the other girls in the room.
Elena spoke up first "No. No, this is about us girls' hanging out and you know, we'll be here if you happen to want to talk, or-"
"Because I'm a winner when it comes to successful relationships." Caroline added.
"You, too?" Jenna asked.
"You have no idea." Caroline shook her head.
"Ok, then." Jenna smiled as she walked over to the fridge "it's this whole Isobel thing. He's hiding something from me." Jenna sighed.
"To play devil's advocate, maybe there is a great reason why he's not telling you." Caroline pipped up "Maybe he's just trying to protect you."
"Well, that's not his call to make. I mean, I deserve the truth. Everybody does."
"Sometimes it's harder than that." Grace shrugged.
"Not if it's somebody you care about, it isn't." Jenna countered, a wave of guilt washed over the four girls "Grace, you even said Damon tells you everything..."
"Well, he does... but it's different." Grace shrugged.
"It what way?" Jenna asked.
"You know what we need?" Grace quickly changed the subject "Caroline was telling me there is a great band playing at the Grill. We should go have a dance."
"I'm in." Bonnie grinned.
"In." Jenna added.
"In." Elena smiled the three girls walked from the room.
"Did you read my mind? I was about to suggest the same thing..." Caroline smirked as she finished her drink.
"Yeah, I did." Grace nodded inspecting her nails.
"I was joking, are you actually still a telepath?" Caroline's bright blue eyes widened.
"Yeah, I guess you don't lose it..." Grace shrugged "Let's go, I need to get out of this house."
Jonas and Luka were sitting at the dining room table in their apartment, surround by pre lit candles with an open grimoire in front of them.
"Are you sure about this? I mean, I would go if I could." Jonas asked his son.
"No. I'm not strong enough to send you. I can do this." Luka nodded.
Jonas nodded "I'll stay anchored. Use all my energy. If you feel weak-"
"Dad, I want this just as much as you." Luka reminded him.
"Concentrate on Elijah. Picture him in your mind." Jonas ordered and Luka closed his eyes.
"I got it." Luka nodded and Jonas began to cast the spell.
Suddenly Luka was stood in the Salvatore house, Katherine, Damon and Fayth were busy reading the journals of Jonathan Gilbert. Luka was invisible to them, but he could still move things around.
"I'm in the Salvatore house. Elijah's body must be here." Luka noted knowing his father could hear him, but no one else could.
"What do you see?" Jonas asked.
"Elena, Grace and Damon. They're ready." Luka narrowed his eye brows.
"Good. If Elijah's there, you'll sense him. Stay focused." Jonas praised his son and Luka walked further into the house.
Fayth crawled closer to Damon reading over his shoulder, the younger vampire gritted his teeth to have her so close to him again, it felt so wrong.
"Can I help you?" He spat.
"I'm bored." Fayth pouted "This is boring." she began to read a paragraph "Emily Bennett was taken by the Council today. They kidnapped her from her home and took her to the same location her ancestors were burned a hundred years ago." She read from the journal "So Emily died on the site of the massacre, too. Does it say where?" She tried to snatch the journal, but Damon rejected her.
"Nope. You know this whole friendly, cooperative thing?" Damon glanced over his shoulder at her.
"Mm-hmm." Fayth smiled.
"I don't buy it." He growled.
"I have no reason to lie to you, Damon." Fayth countered "Neither of us do."
"Lie." Damon told her.
"I'm hungry." She patted her flat stomach looking at him pleasantly.
"You're the unwanted houseguest. Go feed yourself." Damon growled.
"Fine. C'mon, Kat." Fayth ordered and Katherine walked along with her into the basement where they both take a blood bag before looking at each other feeling a presence, it was Luka.
Stefan joins Damon on the couch grabbing a journal fingering through it before looking up at his before who was deeply reading the book.
"Well, nothing in any of these. Find anything?" Stefan asked.
"nope." Damon showed Stefan the journal with the answer in trying not to let Katherine and Fayth know too, he gives him and look as Stefan smiles.
"That's too bad." Stefan grinned.
"Yeah, bummer." Damon smirked too.
Katherine leads Fayth into the cellar room that Elijah's body was being kept in, both of the girls shrug as they were about to leave, but stop when they hear the clink of metal. Luka was attempting to remove the dagger from Elijah's chest. Fayth rushes over and pounds the dagger back into the Original looking at her sister.
"What's happening?" Fayth asked.
"What's wrong?" Jonas asked when he son stopped.
"Grace is fighting me." Luka told his father "She's stronger than me... A lot stronger than a young vampire should be."
"That's because it's bot Grace. It's Fayth Pierce. Luka... kill her and her sister." Jonas ordered.
"What?" Luka gawped.
"They're vampires. Find a stake and drive it through their hearts." Jonas demanded.
Luka releases the dagger and Fayth felt the weight gone from it, slowly she let up too and looked at her sister confused "What the hell is going on?" Fayth spat when suddenly her sister was stake in the stomach, Luka had missed "Katherine!" She dove to her sister's side when suddenly she felt a stake go through here back just missing her heart "Damon!" She rasped.
Damon and Stefan sprinted into the room to see the twins in pain, both brothers helped them remove the stakes when suddenly Fayth saw the dagger being removed from Elijah's chest again.
"Damon. Dagger." She rasped.
Turning around Damon grabbed the flamethrower he had been using and blew it around the room effectively catching Luka setting him on fire, making him break his concentration.
At Jonas and Luka's apartment, Luka suddenly jumped up, suddenly bursting in a ball of flames, he yelled as he fell to the floor "Luka! No!" Jonas yelled tackling his with a blanket effectively putting out the flame, he pulled it back to reveal his son was burnt to a crisp, grabbing a grimoire from the table he tried to chant a spell, but it was too late, Luka was already dead.
Damon continued to spit fire from the flamethrower aiming it all around the room making sure he burnt the warlock, not stopping until he knew that him and his brother were safe.
"What's going on?" Stefan yelled over the loud hissing of the intense fire.
"Some kind of crazy witch attack! Get over there and do something about it." Damon growled at his younger brother "Go!"
Elena, Grace, Bonnie, Caroline and Jenna all arrive at the Grill and look up at the band, the witch and brunette vampire instantly began to dance to the up-beat melody.
"I need a drink." Jenna noted as she saw Alaric walk in the Grill too.
"Hey, Matt." Caroline smiled as Matt stood next to them, but he didn't answer her.
"Things just got real awkward." Bonnie muttered and Caroline threw her a look.
Jenna was sat up on a bar stool sipping at her shot of tequila when Alaric joined her, he took up the seat next to her "Jenna." He nodded.
"Not tonight, Ric. Tonight I have traded you for señor tequila." She instantly did the shot indicating another to be poured.
"Yeah. Well, señor tequila's not going to be treating you very well." Alaric joked.
"Well, the two of you have a lot in common." Jenna countered.
"Look, Jenna, I hate that you're this upset with me." Alaric frowned.
"Yeah, well, it's your fault. Because whatever it is you're keeping from me, whatever you think I can't handle... you're wrong. 'Cause last year I was a grad student who smoked a lot of pot and couldn't keep a goldfish alive and now I'm a party, so I think I can't handle anything, Ric." She spat.
"Jenna..." He shook his head.
Elena, Grace, Bonnie and Caroline were all standing in the crowd listening to the live band talking about Caroline and Matt and their relationship troubles.
"He said the ball's in your court." Grace asked creasing her eye brows.
"Yeah, but I can't do anything about it." Caroline countered.
"Why not? All you do is talk about how much you care about him." Bonnie smiled.
"Yeah, but I am still keeping so many secrets." Caroline frowned.
"Alaric's in the same boat with Jenna and maybe that's our mistake. We're trying to protect the people that we love by keeping them out of it, but in the end, we're hurting them anyway." Elena noted when suddenly Caroline took of her jacket handing it to Grace before running up onto stage "Hey, everybody. Let's hear it for the band!" Caroline hollered into the microphone "weren't they awesome?" She applauded with the crowd before moving on "So there's this guy. And, uh, he told me to tell him how I feel about him. Like it's so easy. Um, you know, just 'cause I talk a lot doesn't mean I always know what I'm actually talking about. Ah, like now, I'm feeling loopy and I don't really know how to express myself..." The lead singer was about to take the microphone away from her "I can sing! Yeah, yeah. You know what, I'm going to sing." She announced as Jenna, Grace, Elena and Bonnie looked on baffled.
"Sing?" Elena asked.
"C'mon, off stage." The lead singer tried to lead her off.
She began to compel him "You are going to let me live out my rock star fantasies, and you are going to be my back-up." he nodded at her words and asked her what she walked to sing then she whispered something in his ear and he began to strum elegantly playing the song by The Bangles called Eternal Flame "close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin', do you feel my heart beatin', do you understand, do you feel the same? Or am I only dreamin', is this burnin', an eternal flame, I believe, it's meant to be darlin', I watch you when you are sleepin', you belong with me, do you feel that same, or am I only dreamin', is this burnin' an eternal flame, say my name, sunshine through the rain, of a life, so lonely, come and easy the pain, I don't want to lose this feeling, whoa-oah." Caroline sang beautiful and everyone was applauding and clapping, Matt suddenly ran up on stage and pulled his girl into a passionate kiss making her stop singing.
Grace let out a breathy sigh as she began to think about her and Damon's relationship, the song, it was as though it was made for them... Quickly she pulled out her phone seeing she saw two miss calls from Damon, when she rang him back it went to voicemail.
"Hey, Damon, I just... Caroline just sang this song and I won't go into details, but it really made me think of you... of me and you... I just wanted to say I'm sorry for walking away earlier... you we're right, I was jealous, please call me back, I love you..." Grace hung up and Elena rubbed her back comfortingly.
Jonas was unbelievable angry as he paced the room holding a picture of Elena grabbing her hairbrush he begins to cast a spell. Stefan burst through the door to see Luka's dead body.
"You killed him." Jonas spat as he began to use his powers on Stefan making him hold his head in pain "He's dead and I have no one. And now you're about to find out exactly what that feels like, you're going to lose everyone." he left Stefan screaming on the floor, he dropped the picture of Elena and Grace he had stolen as Jonas left.
Damon pulls out his phone to see he had one new voicemail, he played her aloud he he got both the twins some blood "made me think of you... of me and you... I just wanted to say I'm sorry for walking away earlier... you were right, I was jealous, please call me back, I love you... End of voicemail-" Damon cut the rest off and smiled at the thought of Grace.
"How sweet." Fayth sneered "A song that made her think of you, she's so deep. Still who can blame her for being jealous... We have history." She stepped towards him "we have sexual tension just building and building, until one day we're just going to explode and rip each others clothes off-" Damon staked her in the stomach "What the hell!"
"Stop talking, Fayth." He warned withdrawing the stake before lodging it back in her shoulder making her call out "And that was for not telling me the dagger would kill me. Next time... it goes in your heart..."
"Is that how you treat someone who..." She pulled the stake from her dropping it to the floor "Is trying to help you?"
"You wanna help? Start talking." Damon spat.
"I'd love to, but you're not going to like it." Fayth muttered as Katherine walked towards them.
"Try me." Damon smirked.
"Fine. John Gilbert and Isobel want you and Stefan out of Grace and Elena's life..." Fayth shrugged.
"That's old news." Damon growled.
"Not the part where he offered me and Fayth a deal. He knew that killing Elijah would get me out of the tomb, so he gave me a choice. Either I stay and help with Klaus, or he kills Stefan..." Katherine spoke up.
"But he still tried to have me killed." Damon looked at them confused.
"Right. That was part of the deal. We could only save one of you." Katherine nodded.
"So you chose Stefan. Of course you did." Damon glance at Fayth who shrugged carelessly.
"You want the truth, Damon. Would you rather I lie?" Fayth shook her head.
"I'll be right back." Elena told Jenna as she walked into the bathroom to see Matt and Caroline heavily kissing on the counter.
"Ahh! Oh, sorry." Elena covered her eyes.
"Sorry Elena!" Caroline called and she quickly turned walking the other way leaving the loved up couple behind, she saw Bonnie and Grace approaching and stopped them.
"I wouldn't." Elena warned them "Caroline and Matt are..."
"In the bathroom." Bonnie laughed.
"If they're happy, I'm happy." Elena shrugged.
"Um, hey, speaking of happy, would it freak out out if I started dating your brother?" Bonnie asked carefully.
"You're into my brother?" Elena asked creasing her eye brows.
Bonnie sighed "I know it's weird, but he's been so good and strong. He makes me happy and I really can't tell what you're thinking right now."
"I can." Grace smiled smugly.
"I'm thinking that... My brother has had more pain in his life that an hundred people's worth of pain, and... he deserves to be with someone as amazing as you." Elena giggled.
"Really?" Bonnie asked.
"Really." Grace confirmed and Elena hit her arm playfully.
"Really." Elena embraced her best friend when her phone began to ring, it was Stefan "Hey, Stefan." She answered it "I'm at the Grill. I can't hear you. Hold... yeah." She left when Bonnie and Grace saw Jonas enter.
"Where are you going?" Katherine asked as he saw Damon head for the door.
"Grace isn't answering her phone." Damon spat "Luka Martin is dead. His father is going after Elena and Grace."
"We're coming with you." Katherine jumped up.
"No, you're not." Damon growled.
"Wait." Fayth called.
"I don't need your help. I don't want it." Damon told her firmly.
"I know what we can do, Damon. You have to let us do it." She begged.
Bonnie and Grace walk over to Jonas looking at him concerned as he stared Grace down intently, the powerless witch eyes widened.
"Dr. Martin. You ok?" Bonnie asked.
"There you are." Jonas narrowed his eyes and Grace fell to the floor in absolute pain.
"Stop!" Bonnie called.
"My son is dead!" Jonas growled.
Bonnie gasped "Whatever it is you think you need to do, there's a better way."
"They killed Elijah and they killed Luka and my only shot at getting my daughter back is if I have Elena and Grace..." Jonas whispered.
"Why do you need me?" Grace screamed in pain.
"Elijah was telling me of Klaus' love for a girl like you a long time ago, he wants that love again... he's willing to do anything to get it." Jonas growled "And I'm willing to supply it for my daughter's safety."
"No." Bonnie called as Grace screamed louder raising to her knees about to pounce for him, but she just fell down again.
"Where is Elena." He demanded.
"I don't know. I haven't seen her." Bonnie lied smoothly crouching down by Grace holding her "Please stop, she's in a lot of pain."
"I know." Jonas growled using more of his powers when suddenly the lights burst above him.
"What the hell." Matt pulled away from Caroline's lips he opens the door to see the whole Grill wasn't lit "The powers out."
"Even better." Caroline purred.
"I wish, but I should probably go help." Matt pecked her lips as she walked from the room, suddenly Elena and Stefan walk in.
"Hey." Caroline smiled.
"We have a problem." Elena whispered close to tears.
"What's going on?" Caroline asked concerned.
"Jonas is her and he's after Elena and Grace... he already has Grace, she's with Bonnie, but he's torturing Grace with his powers." Stefan sighed.
"Oh my God! I can go help-"
"No, we have a plan." Stefan assured her "But I need to get Elena out of here."
"Well, what can I do?" Caroline asked eager to help the cause.
"It's time to get out of here." Alaric told Jenna.
"I have to find the girls." Jenna looked around.
"They're with Stefan, they're ok." Alaric assured her.
"No one's getting out of here until I have them both." Jonas told Bonnie firmly.
"Don't do this. Please don't do this." Bonnie begged, but Jonas only got anger, bottles began to smash around him and suddenly the war was aflame, Jonas rested his hand on the witches forehead and she fell to the floor unconscious, hauling Grace over his shoulder looking around to Stefan and Elena.
Matt saw everyone running for the exit but Bonnie was unconscious on the floor, quickly running over he shook her to awaken her.
"Bonnie! Hey, Bonnie!" Matt called "Bonnie, we have to get you out of here." He carried her outside.
"Dr. Martin!" Elena called "I'm so sorry about Luka. I never wanted that to happen, but... at least let us help you get your daughter back."
"Only Elijah can do that." Jonas spat.
"You don't need Elijah." Elena told him but Jonas set another part of the bar ablaze, Caroline pounced on him and he dropped Grace, Stefan quickly bundled her into his arms carrying her from the building with Elena in tow.
Jonas provoked a headache with his powers and Caroline fell to the floor screaming, unable to bite him, Matt saw is lover in pain as he was about to leave but instead ran over, but and shoved Jonas against the wall hard.
"Get away from her!" Matt growled.
"Matt, no!" Caroline screamed as Jonas broke a bottle and shove it into Matt's neck, he fell to the floor and Caroline rushed over to him crying "Matt! Matt! Oh! Oh my God!" She calmed herself, telling her what Stefan had told her "Just breathe Caroline... just breathe." her face went demonic as she bit into her own wrist feeding Matt her blood "You have to drink. Please, please."
"Luka." Bonnie started as she sat in the Gilbert house a little while later that night talking to Jeremy "I can't believe he's dead. After what we did to him."
"no, after what he did to you." Jeremy replied "Look, I'm sorry, I know you feel bad about all of this but don't."
"I couldn't do anything to help. I was useless. I hated it." Bonnie whispered.
Grace grumbled as Stefan walked her up into the Gilbert house, they saw Bonnie and Jeremy sitting at the table "Thank God." Bonnie jumped up seeing Elena walk in after them shutting the door "Is she ok?"
"She's fine." Stefan nodded sitting Grace down opening her eyes, she growled at him and he chuckled "Yeah, she's fine."
"Need I remind you, it's not over yet." Elena launched herself upstairs.
"What's going on?" Jeremy creased his eye brows.
"When did you guys get home?" Stefan asked.
"A few minutes ago." Bonnie answered.
"Did you check the house?" Stefan asked cautiously.
"And why would we check the house?" Jeremy asked.
Elena walked into her bathroom and didn't she Jonas was behind her, he caught her in his arms, but she moved at lightening speed to have him trapped against a wall her face becoming demonic and feral, it was Katherine. She tore violently into his neck draining him as he fell to the floor, Stefan and Bonnie appeared.
"You're welcome." Katherine dried the blood away from her mouth with her sleeve.
Bonnie bent down over Jonas' body "You didn't have to kill him!"
"Yes, we did." Katherine spat.
Bonnie lent in closer to the warlock touching his face softly when he suddenly he reopened his eyes and grabs her face, she screamed and Stefan stepped forward and snapped his neck.
"Are you ok?" Damon asked Grace who was rubbing her head gently as she lay on Elena's couch.
"Fine." Grace answered "How did you convince them to do this?"
"we didn't. It was actually Fayth's idea." Damon shrugged.
"Wow. That's... not good." Grace replied.
"No. No, that's not good at all." Damon replied as Katherine and Stefan walk down the stairs.
"I'm guessing you're going to want this back." Katherine unclipped Elena's necklace handing it to her "But your pretty little outfit is going to need a good dry clean."
"You're going to have to get her out of here before Jenna gets home." Elena told them.
"Is that all you have to say to me?" Katherine placed her hands on her hips.
"This doesn't change the way I feel about you, or your sister." Elena hissed.
"We don't like you two much either, if we're going to be open and frankly, I'd be happy to see you both dead but if we're going to try and take on Klaus, we kinda need you to be alive. Both of you. So I'm not a threat to you, Elena. Or you, Grace. Fayth is not a threat to either of you, either. If any of you are going to believe anything, believe that."
"Thanks for getting me home." Jenna smiled at Alaric as the stood on the porch to the Gilbert house "That was kinda crazy."
"Jenna, are you going to be ok? Look, Isobel is dead and there things about her death that I can't tell you. That aren't for me to tell. You can be upset and hate me. I get it, but just know that I love you. At least I can't tell you that much."
"Good night, Ric." Jenna sighed.
"Good night." Alaric smiled.
Jenna walked in the house to see Grace and Elena sitting at the kitchen table mauling over their coffees talking quietly about their night.
"Hey. You made it home." Elena stood up.
"Tonight was very weird." Jenna noted.
"Tell me about it." Grace muttered.
Jeremy and Bonnie were sat upstairs in the Gilbert house, sitting inside Jeremy's room with the doors shut to give them privacy "I'm worried about you." Jeremy told her.
"Don't be." Bonnie replied simply.
"No, I'm serious, Bonnie. The only witch that could given you your powers back is dead, and.. I think you have a serious case of denial going on, and I want you to know that I'm here for you no matter what and-" she kissed him passionately "Not that denial's the worst thing." she placed her hand on his chest and the lights began to flicker erratically "Did you...?"
"When he grabbed me... He gave me my powers back and something else. Jonas wants me to kill Klaus." She smiled smugly.
"And did he include a how?" Jeremy questioned.
"Yeah. He did." She grinned.
Damon was sitting on his bed reading one of the Gilbert Journals when Fayth walks in, she smiled as she sat down on his bed, looking sexy and tempting in her black lingerie and black satin robe.
"You know what I can't figure out?" Damon asked.
"What's that?" Fayth purred.
"How the town new Emily Bennett was a witch. I mean, because according to Jonathan Gilbert, he was the only one that knew. I know he didn't turn her in." Damon mused and when she didn't answer Damon knew the answer "Mmm, I should have figured as much."
"She was a loose end. I like mine tied up." Her eyes ran over his body "You know what I can't figure out?"
"Do I care?" Damon muttered.
"Why you won't tell me where to find the site of the witch massacre." Fayth looked at him dropping her shoulder to let the robe drop seductively.
"Because I have no clue." Damon growled at her.
"You knew that Emily Bennett was the key to getting me out of that tomb and something tells me that you did everything in your power to make sure that she was safe, yet you have no idea where she was killed..." Damon didn't answer either when Fayth asked "Who's the liar now? You hurt me today."
"Tit for tat." Damon shrugged.
"You were mean and very rough and monstrous." She purred raising to her knees making the short dress like lingerie she was wearing raise up her thighs
"You deserved it." Damon told her firmly.
She crawled closer to him smiling "I like this, Damon." running her hand up his leg moving closer to his face.
"Fayth." He breathed leaning close to her too "Fayth, there are six other bedrooms in this house." he took her face between his hands and leaned incredibly close, their lips just touching when suddenly "Go find one." Damon pushed Fayth away she pouted as she walked from the room shrugging her satin robe back over her silky skin slamming the door shut as she walked from the room.
A little while later than night the door opened again, Damon glanced up from the Gilbert journal to see Grace standing in the doorway nervously tucking a dark, silky piece of hair behind her ear, whilst gently biting her bottom lip.
"Hi." Grace whispered.
"Go away, Fayth. I already told you no." Damon growled narrowing his eyes at her.
"It's me. It's Grace." Grace walked towards him "I'm sorry for freaking out this morning... I guess I do know how you feel when you get all protective and jealous over me." She giggled as she kneeled at the end of the bed fisting the sheets looking at him.
"I know... I got your message. You shouldn't have just left like that." Damon told her still looking at the journal every so often glancing up to check that she is still there "I had to spend the whole day with that bitch and her sister..."
"I'm sorry." Grace cooed as she crawled up the bed towards him "I can make it up to you, if you want." she placed small kisses on his neck seducing him, Damon purred at her touch but something felt wrong to him, after spending a whole day with Fayth he was bound to be suspicious and cautious to who he was kissing.
Suddenly Damon growled and caught her face between his hand pinching her cheeks together looking deep into her eyes checking if it was his girlfriend.
"Damon, what are you doing?" Grace winced "That hurts."
"Checking you're Grace." Damon answered looking deep into her smouldering chocolate brown eyes, he could see the deep affection and love written in them and his eyes widened as he released her cheeks from his hold "I'm sorry, I can't be too careful with the slut running around." Damon kissed her again moving her back on the bed
"No." Grace pulled away "Damon, you really hurt me." She rubbed her jaw shrugging away from him pouting crossing her arms over her chest as she faced away from him.
"No, I'm sorry." He caught her waist holding her firmly against him "I didn't mean to hurt you, I just didn't want you to be Fayth."
"You should know it's me." Grace looked at him "You should just know."
"Don't be angry. Please." He nuzzled into her slender neck kissing the skin tentatively making her breathing ragged as she knotted her hands in his hair, he nipped at the skin breaking it gently, she hiccuped her breath out as he began to suck from the open wound.
"Damon." She moaned affectionately as she licked down his inside forearm and tore into his wrist, he watched in pleasure as the blood ran down her chin making a crimson line all the way down her throat, he pulled his wrist back and began to kiss her, both of their vampire sides were showing and she shied away from him.
"Look, I'm the same. We're both drawn closer by our blood." He cooed, his eyes were intensely blue with a black and blood red shadow around them "Look at me. It's normal."
"No. This isn't normal." Grace whispered "I'm not normal, I'm a freak.."
"Grace." Damon pulled her face around to show her usually tranquil chocolate brown eyes were almost a midnight black surround by the veins and dark shadow, her fangs appearing just below her pouted, swollen pink lips, Damon ran his thumb over the razor sharp teeth smiling to himself "You're not a freak... well maybe a little, but you're my little freak." He smirked and she giggled gently.
Grace reached out and touched the veins under his eyes, feeling the soft bumps emitting a small growl from deep in his throat as he slowly pulled her shirt over her head to reveal her lacy black bra.
"Blood gets a lot better with age, too." Damon smiled "You're still a baby, but when you're my age..." he let out a small groan to signal how good her blood would be.
"Your blood is fantastic." Grace smiled "It's so... tasty... salty and sweet at the same time." She admitted, it was true, Damon's blood was a mixture of the two, a perfect mixture which made Grace want more, she pulled his shirt over his head to reveal his toned stomach muscles and pecks.
"Your blood is incredibly sweet." Damon smiled looking down at her neck tempted to dig in "And it will only become sweeter as we grow older together."
At Caroline's house Matt woke up and Caroline smiled as she sat opposite him "Hi." She greeted him simply he looked down at his shirt to see it was layered with dry blood, he touched his neck to feel nothing, not even a scar.
"What the hell? Your face... And all the blood. I... I drank you blood." He remembered.
"You were dying. My blood healed you." Caroline replied.
"What do you mean, it healed me? How can you blood heal me?" Matt scoffed.
"Because that's what vampire blood does for humans, and that's what I am. I'm a vampire, Matt." She finally revealed who she really was.
"No." He breathed.
"But it's all going to be ok, because I am going to tell you everything, and you're going to understand why I had to keep it from you, and we're going to be fine." She smiled hopefully at him.
"We'll be fine?" He spat.
"Yes, because we're together and we love each other." She reminded him.
"Vampires. Oh my God. Vicki, oh my God, at the hospital, I though that she was tripping out." Matt breathed remember the conversation he had had a long time ago with his druggie sister.
"What?" Caroline creased her eye brows.
"Vicki, she knew about vampires, and I... what... what did you do?" He growled at her thinking that the blonde was the reason for his sister death.
"Nothing. Nothing Matt!" She promised.
"I need to get out of here." He tried to leave but Caroline stopped him.
"No, no, no! I can't let you leave. I cannot let you leave." Caroline told herself and he began to cry thinking of his poor innocent sister who had been caught up in the world of vampires.
"What did you do to my sister?" Matt choked.
"Nothing! Nothing! I swear, I swear nothing!" She told him frantically.
"What did you do!" He demanded.
"Nothing, Matt! You have to calm down!" She hissed.
Jenna was sat in the kitchen all on her own eating ice cream from the tub, when Elena walked in sighing heavily "Are John and Jeremy in bed?" Jenna asked.
"I think so." Elena replied.
"Where's Grace?" Jenna asked spooning more frozen dessert into her mouth.
"She went to see Damon." Elena replied.
"Nice to know someone can be all loved up in this town." Jenna muttered as she doorbell rang, she got up and opened it, Isobel stood there smiling evilly.
"Hi. You must be Jenna." Isobel smiled when Elena came to the door looking puzzled and angry "I'm... Elena and Grace's mother." She announced.
"Isobel." Elena growled and Jenna's jaw dropped open...
