Twisted Love
Season 3
The Reckoning
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Vampire Diaries, I only own Grace and Fayth :)
Grace was standing outside of Mystic Falls High, it was completely empty, or so she thought, she grabbed her phone from her pocket and rang a well know number "Hey... So when I came by yours today and you were there." She told Damon's voicemail "You're probably mad at me, and you have every right to be. I'm so sorry. I'll do anything I promise, please just call me back to tell me you're ok." She begged in a small voice "Tell me... tell me we're ok or are going to be one day, please Damon. I love you."
As she walked into the school she went straight for the English room and as she walked in the room was pitch black, she creased her eye brows as she switch on the lights and saw the ground was layered with mouse traps. All of her friends were in there, Matt, Elena, Bonnie, Caroline and Tyler all setting up the practical joke for senior prank night.
"There you are!" Caroline gushed as she jumped up, careful not to move or they would set off all the mouse traps that had took them so long to set up "We didn't think you were going to make it."
"Too busy pining over the disappearance of your boyfriend." Tyler mocked as laid yet another mouse trap on the floor, leave it to the werewolf to mock her over something that was worrying her so much.
"Hey." She hissed "You know, I'm not really sure I'm up for any of this tonight... I think I might just go home and-"
"Wait for Damon to call?" Caroline looked at her "c'mon, Grace. We're about to be seniors for the first time ever!"
"we can be seniors 80 times over if we want, Care." Grace answered, being that they suffered from vampirism they could be seniors as many times as they wanted, they were trapped forever in the body of a 17 year olds.
"Yeah, but these people with us now? These are the ones I want to really graduate with... For real. These are the memories that will stay with us forever, and if we don't..." She couldn't find the words, but Elena knew what she was trying to say like any good friend would.
"And if we don't create these memories now, then what's the point of it all?" Elena suggested throwing Caroline a smile, the blonde gave a quick grin back before hearing both Matt and Tyler smirking from the corner of the room.
"Go ahead and make fun, I don't care." Caroline told them both carelessly, rolling her silvery orbs.
"You're all lame." Tyler scoffed "And I've got ten more classrooms to prank." He grabbed a large black bag off the floor and left the room, Grace turned on her heels about to walk from the room too, she had an amazing idea.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Bonnie called as she jumped up.
The brunette glanced over her shoulder at the witch "To superglue Alaric's desk shut." Grace grinned "I'm making memories." She winked at Caroline as Elena followed her twin from the room.
"I love you!" Caroline called and Grace laughed as she walked past Tyler giving him a playful little shove on the shoulder, he grimaced at her before smirking a little, him and a group of friends walked down the hall.
Grace and Elena skipped happily through another set of doors walking towards the the school gymnasium when suddenly the young vampire smashed into a hard chest "There's my girl." A sea blue mixed with forest green eyes staring down at her, Elena gasped and took a step away from him as the Hybrid smiled at them both.
"Klaus!" Grace whimpered, she turned and grabbed Elena about to run but Klaus blocked them both again.
"You're supposed to be dead." Klaus told Elena firmly "What are we going to do about that?"
Damon was driving his car at an illegal speed down a highway with Fayth sat next to him and Katherine in the back minding her own business "Are you hungry?" Fayth looked over at Damon playing with the tips of her hair "Let's stop for a bite. A truck stop. Or a trucker?"
"Oh, stop being cute." Damon mocked throwing her a glare.
"It's not possible." Fayth smirked arrogantly earning yet another look from Damon.
"We've been driving around aimlessly for hours. Where are we going?" The younger vampire looked over at his former lover curiously.
"Far enough away so you can't go running back." Fayth replied bluntly looking out of her window watching the world pass by.
"Not to worry." Damon replied shortly pausing slightly "Mystic Falls and I are on the outs."
"You and Mystic Falls, or you and Grace?" Fayth eyed him suspiciously cocking one of her thin dark brown eye brows.
"Let's just say Grace and I are having a bit of difference of opinion on how we should... live." Damon replied, he didn't really want to get into a conversation about his current lover with his former lover.
"Oh. Let me guess..." Fayth purred from where she sat "Grace wants you to be the hero, that she always thought you were, and you don't like playing pretend." She turned so she was facing him in her seat leaning over to cup his cheek his her icy cold hand.
"Something like that." He muttered looking away from the road that he was driving on to glaze into her chocolate brown orbs.
"Her loss." Fayth whispered as she leaned in and pressed her lips against him, turning soon into an open mouth kiss, she was taken by surprise when he shoved her away "What are you doing?" She hissed.
"I thought I'd give it a shot." He shrugged whipping her lip gloss from his lips with the back of his hand "Truth is, you just don't do it for me anymore." Damon smirked at her.
Stefan woke up in the back of a truck, as he looked around he saw a cascade of golden blonde locks facing away from him, she suddenly turned and smiled at him, it was a sickly sweet smile that made his stomach churn "Oh, he lives." Rebekah fixed her sea blue eyes on him.
"What happened?" Stefan asked rubbing his neck, it was so sore to move and touch.
"You took a beating." The Original informed him "My brother's been breaking your neck all afternoon. Quite a temper."
"Why did he bring us back to Mystic Falls?" Stefan asked playing dumb, he wasn't about to let them know that Elena was still here, even though he had a suspicion they both Original already knew.
"You can stop playing dumb now. It didn't take him long to figure out what you've been hiding..." Rebekah shrugged her eyes flared with smugness.
"I'm not hiding anything." Stefan replied shortly, he would just deny everything from now on "I've done everything Klaus has asked me to." That wasn't a lie at all, he hadn't disobeyed him, he did what the hybrid had asked when he asked.
"No, you just failed to mention that the doppelgänger's still alive." Rebekah gave him a look cocking her perfectly sculptured blonde eye brow.
"Where is Klaus now?" Stefan asked.
"With any luck, ripping that cow's bloody head off... Then doing the same for the spiteful little wench he cares so much for." Rebekah replied "She's still here, you know... Silly girl."
He zipped over to her and they fell onto the ground "Where are they?" Stefan hissed "Where is she?" He referred to his lover Elena.
"You really love her, don't you?" Rebekah pouted before rushing him against the truck, grabbing a crowbar holding it against him "Consider me jealous." She quipped before stabbing the crowbar into his gut.
Klaus had Grace held firmly in his arms as his hand was wrapped around Elena's wrist, dragging them down the halls "You put a rather large kink in my plans, sweetheart." He looked down at Elena "The whole point of breaking the curse and becoming a hybrid was to make more hybrids. I haven't been able to do that. Now my bet is, it has something to do with the fact that you're still alive."
"If you're gonna kill me, just do it!" Elena hissed.
"No! No! Don't!" Grace screamed struggling against Klaus.
"You just don't stop struggling do you..." He turned and made Grace face him "One more word and I'll snap your neck and you won't be able to protect little Elena... Ok?" He looked at her, she closed her mouth and remained quiet "Good girl." He smirked "I'm not going to kill you yet, Elena. Not until I know I'm right... But I do have ways of making you suffer." The hybrid smirked as he kicked the door to the gym open, pushing Elena through first then collecting Grace in his arms dragging her through letting the door swing close behind them "Attention, Seniors!" Klaus called putting on a fake American accent "You have officially been busted. Prank night is over, head on home." He added, all the teens let out a noise of disappointment as they headed towards the door "You two." Klaus approached Dana, the preppy cheerleader and her boyfriend Chad "I remember you."
"I'm sorry. Who are you?" Dana looked at the Original hybrid creasing her eye brows, the last time she had seen Klaus she was under compulsion and he had possessing Alaric's body, so it was a fair argument that she didn't know who the stunningly handsome Brit was.
"Oh, don't worry, I wasn't in my right head last time we met." Klaus smirked as he began to compel the poor girl "Lift your foot up, please Dana." She complied and lifted her right foot off the ground, the hybrid then looked over at Chad who was confused by it all, he then compelled him "If she drops her foot, Chad, I want you to beat her to death. Understood?" He smirked.
"Don't, Klaus. You don't have to hurt anybody." Grace hissed.
"I almost forgot." He moved Grace in his arms "No using your compulsion to release them from my compulsion, please, sweetheart."
Damon pulled up into the middle of no where and stepped out of his car, Katherine and Fayth climbed out too following him "Why are we stopping?" The smaller brunette asked looking over at her former younger lover.
"I thought we might want to stretch our legs." Damon offered "Take a break from the sexual tension. I'm tired of driving. It's your turn." He looked over at Fayth.
"Fine." She nodded but he through the keys off into the distance she gasped and watched the keys fly away into the deep brush "Hey! I-"
"We're not going anywhere until you spill your guts." Damon demanded firmly giving her a hard look, narrowing his beautiful icy blue eyes.
"Fine." Fayth hissed as she reached into Katherine's purse and pulled out Elena's locket showing it to him "Do you recognise this, hmm? A little birdy told me that Klaus wants to get his hands on it..." Fayth shrugged.
"Why would Klaus want Elena's necklace?" Damon creased his eye brows.
"Does it matter? He wants it, and I have it. It's leverage, Damon. Always stay on step ahead of your enemy." The brunette shrugged her shoulders.
"I'll keep that in mind." He eyed her carefully, he would have to stay one step ahead of them too.
"But more importantly, when I stole the necklace from Bonnie, I found out something else... Something better." She smirked her eyes flaring with excitement.
"Oh yeah? What's that?" Damon cocked an eye brow crossing his arms over his check waiting for her to explain what was so good.
"Are you willing to do whatever it takes to stop Klaus? No turning back?" Katherine asked, they had to know that he would be loyal to them no matter what, they needed him to be on their side.
"I'm not turning back." Damon assured them nodding gently.
"Good. Because this isn't going to win you any good points at home." Fayth walked to the trunk of Damon's car opening it to reveal an unconscious Jeremy in it.
"Jeremy? Really?" Damon scoffed.
Caroline and Tyler were standing in the Mystic Falls High hall way, she was putting honey on the lockers continuing senior prank night when suddenly Tyler kissed her passionate "Do you think Matt's going to be ok?" The blonde whispered as she pulled away from his perfect lips
"I'm kissing you and you're wondering about your ex-boyfriend?" The wolf scoffed a little confused for her timing.
"I'm asking you if you think our friend, who we both love, is ok." Caroline replied with a small pout.
"I think he probably doesn't have a lot of people to talk to anymore." Tyler suggested "I think he's struggling more than he lets on. I think that I love how big your heart is." He added and she grinned.
"I just want this school year to be great, you know? I just want everyone to be happy. Even in the midst of all the crazy unhappy bits." She replied in a small voice.
"I'm happy." Tyler told her firmly before kissing her again.
"You two are adorable." A slick British voice came from beside them.
"Uh, do we know you?" Caroline pulls away from her wolf to look into a bright pair of blue eyes, not as dazzling as Damon's, but still pretty.
"You're Caroline, Elena's friend, which makes you Tyler. Grace's werewolf friend..." Rebekah smiled flashing her pearly white teeth to them both.
"And who are you?" Caroline glared at her at the girl who looked around their age, she didn't like her already, just the way she spoke and they was she acted, it bad her uneasy.
"I'm the new girl." Rebekah retorted as her face turned demonic, her fangs pushing through her gums, black veins appearing around her eyes.
"Caroline!" Tyler yelled as Rebekah ran for them.
Bonnie and Matt were at the pool of the school and were planing to put toilet paper in there, the witch smiled over at one of the only humans "This is fun, right?" Bonnie asked.
"You sound like Caroline." Matt scoffed giving her a sideways glance.
"Come on, I am embracing her philosophy... You should be more into this." She gave him a playful push grinning at him.
"I know. Where's Jeremy tonight?" Matt questioned curiously, had the young boy told her about seeing his dead sister yet? Or that he was seeing the ghosts of his past lovers?
"I haven't talked to him all day. We're having, um... He, uh, he told me about seeing Vicki." She looked over at the blond boy who had lost his sister.
"Oh. Good, I'm glad you know." Matt nodded hiding his true feelings knowing that Jeremy could see his sisters and that he couldn't.
"I'm sorry. Is it weird talking about your sister like this?" Bonnie creased her eye brows.
"No, I... I just kind of want to see her myself, you know? I mean, I never got to say goodbye to her." He let out a heavy sigh "Do you realise that just last summer, you and I were lifeguards at the pool? And the only two problems I had in my life were that Elena was breaking up with me and I sucked at CPR."
"Everything was so different then." Bonnie mused with a nod looking off into the distance at a fond memory about hanging out with Matt at the pool, saving peoples lives and bonding with him.
"Yeah. Now Elena's dating a vampire, you're a witch, my sister's a ghost, and I'm... I'm just a guy who's wondering how life got screwed up." Matt added looking to the bottom of the pool with a sad expression on his face.
"It's crazy, Matt. I... I can't imagine what it must be like for you." The witch shook her head giving him a sincere look.
"It just, uh, kind of explains why I'm not that into senior prank night. I'll go grab a couple more rolls. Then we'll hit the gym." He smiled before getting up and walking into the bathrooms next to the paper rolls, he noticed that one of the doors to the stalls was open, as he walked inside he saw the graffiti 'RIP Vicki' layered across the wall, he walked out and closed the door, unknown to him his little sister Vicki was watching over him.
"I'm here, Matt. I can help you." She called but he couldn't hear her.
Dana was still balancing on one foot, Chad was standing next to her scared for what he might have to do if she was to fall or become unbalanced "Keep it up." The hybrid smiled at the girl.
"Where's Stefan?" Elena asked "What did you do to him?"
"Stefan's on a time out." Klaus replied when suddenly the door to the gym opened and Bonnie and Matt entered shocked to see Klaus.
"Bonnie, get out of here!" Grace told her, Bonnie's eyes grew wide as she saw the hybrid smiling at them.
"Ah, I was wondering when you'd show up. Now we can get started." He smiled at the young witch before looking over his shoulder at the scared teen couple "Dana, why don't you relax? You and Chad sit tight." They both fall to the floor holding each other, Klaus turned back and looked at Bonnie "I assume you're the reason Elena's still walking around alive?"
"That's right." Bonnie confirmed with a hard look in her eyes "If you want to blame someone, blame me."
"Oh, there's no need for blame, love. Just your witchy interference seems to have caused some undesirable side effects. And since you caused the problem, I'm going to have you find the fix." As he finished his sentence the door flew open again and Rebekah walked in pushing Tyler with her
"Get off of me!" Tyler ordered.
"No. Klaus. No. Not Tyler." Grace whispered, she had seen what he had done to Ray back in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and that ended up with her removing his heart because he turned feral, trying to kill her and her boyfriend.
"Hush, love." Klaus purred.
"No, please, Klaus. You can't." She begged.
"Ah, so that is the little slut who ran off with that other man and failed to leave the most obviously place that you would look for her." Rebekah smirked at Grace "Silly girl." She paused for a moment "You know, Klaus, the Original doppelgänger was much prettier..."
"Who is that?" Grace hissed placing her hands on her hips eyeing the blonde carefully, almost baring her fangs at her, but she resisted.
"I'd like you to meet my sister Rebekah. Word of warning... she can be quite mean." Klaus nodded throwing her a smirk.
"Don't be an ass." Rebekah hissed as she threw Tyler towards the hybrid.
"Leave him alone!" Grace ordered.
"I'm going to make this very simple... Every time I attempt to turn into werewolf into a vampire hybrid, they die during the transition. It's quite horrible, actually." Klaus noted as he crunched into his wrist making Tyler drink his blood "I need you to find a way to save my hybrids, Bonnie. And for Tyler's sake... You better hurry." He snapped Tyler's neck making him fall to the floor at their feet. Bonnie, Grace, Matt and Elena stare down at the dead wolf on the floor in complete and utter silent shock as Klaus smiled at them all.
Stefan was out in the parking lot with a crowbar still stuck in his stomach, his eyes fluttered open as he feels the metal jabbing into his gut, he removed it with a grunt, throwing the now bloody metal to the floor beside him.
Dana and Chad were still on the floor holding each other calmingly as Grace and Matt sat next to Tyler's now dead body "He killed him." Matt whispered looking at his friend.
"He's not dead." Grace confirmed looking down at Tyler's emotionless face "Klaus' blood will turn him into a vampire..."
"And if Bonnie's successful, he'll live through his transition. Go on, then. Go and fetch your grimoires and enchantments and what-not. I'll hold on to Elena and Grace... for safe-keeping." He smiled at the witch as he grabbed both Elena and Grace.
Grace nodded at Bonnie and she grabbed Matt's arm puling him from the room, they were on a deadline which only made finding the spell harder, and the worry only made it more.
Rebekah turned to both of the girls and eyed them, up and down a hard grimace on her face "So this is the other living doppelgänger... I stick by my earlier statement, the Original's were prettier."
"Enough, Rebekah. Take the wolf boy elsewhere, would you?" Klaus ordered and Rebekah grabbed Tyler's ankle pulling him from the room "Just ignore her. Petty little thing."
Bonnie and Matt were walking down the hall swiftly discussing what they were going to do for Tyler "What are you going to do?" The human looked across at the now less powerful which, the ancestors had refused to help her since she had brought Jeremy back to life.
"I have no idea." Bonnie admitted as she hand her hands through her thick chocolate brown locks "The curse he's talking about is a thousand years old. My grimoires don't go back that far."
"Can you ask those dead witches that helped you before?" Matt asked creasing his eye brows.
"I don't have contact with them anymore... They cut me off when I brought Jeremy back to life." She paused and everything came together "That's it! I can't contact the dead. Jeremy can." She remembered.
Katherine, Fayth and Damon were sitting at a picnic table whilst waiting for Jeremy to awaken from his unconscious state "I'm listening." Damon told her to continue.
"What if I told you there was a kill Klaus? And not Dagger dead. Dead dead." Fayth looked at him a smug smile pulling over her lips.
"I'd say you were desperate and lying." He hissed "Or drunk." He added "Or desperate, lying and drunk." Damon looked over at her watching her carefully as her shoulders shook, she was laughing gently.
"Do you remember mine and Katherine's friend Pearl?" Fayth asked.
"Vividly." Damon nodded, the last time he had seen Pearl she had been threatening him, that was long before him and Grace were together and happy, he wished that they were still happy, away from all the madness, all the Klaus.
"Centuries ago, she told us about a vampire who knew how to kill Klaus. Then she wouldn't tell us anymore." Katherine informed him.
"Well, why not?" Damon creased his eye brows looking at them both, the twins glanced at each other.
Fayth looked back rolling her eyes "Because it was her leverage. She knew it was valuable information, and she wouldn't share it with Katherine or me..." The smaller twin answered back.
"Well, this is great... but she's dead." Damon replied shortly, his voice thick with sarcasm.
"Which is why we never brought it up. Because she only ever told one other person." Katherine smiled the side of her crimson red lips turning up into an evil smile.
"Who?" The younger vampire questioned creasing his eye brows.
"Her daughter. Anna." Fayth replied
"Also dead." Damon added with a shrug.
"Which brings us right back around to..." Fayth waited until Jeremy woke up, he had heard the whole conversation and let out a small sigh as both twins were looking at him.
"To me. Back around to me." Jeremy whispered.
Back in the gym Grace and Elena were sitting on the floor holding each others hand praying that someone would show up to save them and that Tyler would be ok, suddenly the doors swung open and Stefan walked in "Stefan..." Elena whispered as she saw him.
"Klaus." Stefan looked over at the hybrid who was sitting on the bleachers.
"Come to save your damsel, mate?" Klaus smirked as he rose from his seat and walked towards the ripper.
"I came to ask for your forgiveness." Stefan replied and Elena and Grace creased their eye brows confused "And pledge my loyalty."
"Well, you broke that pledge once already." Klaus smirked.
"Elena means nothing to me anymore." Stefan stated and Elena looked down a sad expression on her face, Grace rubbed her back soothingly "And whatever you ask of me... I will do."
"Fair enough. Let's drink on it. Kill them." He looked towards Chad and Dana, he hesitated looking over at Elena and Grace "What are you waiting for? Kill them."
"No!" Elena stood up quickly "Stefan, don't. He's not going to hut me. He already said-" Before the doppelgänger could finish her sentence Klaus violently struck her across the face, she fell to the floor, Grace quickly rushed over to her and Stefan ran for Klaus, but before he could get anywhere near the hybrid grabbed his throat stopping him.
"She means nothing to you? Your lies just keep piling up." Klaus noted his eyes flaring with anger.
"Let her go! I'll do whatever you want, you have my word!" Stefan promised.
"You word doesn't mean much. I lived by your word all summer, during which time I never had to resort to this..." He began to compel him, which was something that he could do due to him being an Original "Stop fighting."
"Don't do this, don't do this." Stefan begged.
"I didn't want to. All I wanted was your allegiance. Now I'm going to have to take it..." Klaus replied sternly.
"Don't... Don't..." Stefan begged.
"You will do exactly as I say when I say it. You will not run, you will not hide, you will simply just obey." Klaus compelled him.
"No. Stefan!" Grace begged as she jumped up.
"Now kill them. Ripper." Klaus smirked at Stefan.
The vampire with the new attitude adjustment obeyed as he rushed towards Dana and ripped into her neck with his deadly fangs, Grace and Elena watched in complete shock.
"This isn't going to work." Jeremy told them both firmly where he sat on the picnic table as his phone began to vibrate, Katherine grabbed it from her pocket and saw a message from Bonnie.
"I think your witchy girlfriend's worried that you've run away with your ghostly lover." Katherine smirked and Fayth chuckled darkly.
"Stop with the teeny bopper drama." Damon ordered narrowing his eyes at both of the twins "Focus."
"I'm not helping them." Anna told Jeremy from where she sat beside him as he began focused on her being with them.
"No, it's ok to help." Jeremy promised her looking up into the dead night. To Damon, Fayth and Katherine there was just empty space, but to the ghost whisperer he could see Anna, clear as day "They're looking for a way to stop Klaus."
"I don't care. Katherine and Fayth are not friends to you. Neither is Damon..." Anna crossed her arms stubbornly over her chest, her mind was made up and nothing they could do would change it.
"What is she saying?" Damon asked, as he couldn't see Anna and neither could Katherine or Fayth so they were all clueless to what Anna was telling Jeremy, if she was agreeing or disagreeing, or telling him what he wanted to know.
"Well, she doesn't want to help you." Jeremy told Damon firmly giving him a small shrug.
"My advice?" Fayth looked at Damon lowering her voice so that only he and Katherine could hear "If you want to make an omelet, you have to break a few eggs."
"Jeremy, I just want you to know, it's nothing personal." Damon walked towards Jeremy and grabbed Jeremy's hair slamming his head against the table he had been sitting on.
"Ow! What the hell!" Jeremy growled.
"Jeremy!" Anna called concerned for her former lover.
"Anna, I know you can hear me. Tell us what you know. The sooner, the better for you little boyfriend here." Damon called not knowing where Anna would be sitting or even if she was still there.
"They're looking for Mikael." Anna told Jeremy.
"Mikael!" Jeremy called and Damon stopped hitting him.
"Mikael. Is that his name?" Katherine asked.
"Who's Mikael?" Damon asked giving them all a clueless look.
"The vampire who hunts vampires. You don't want to wake him. He will kill all of you." Anna told them.
"What's she saying?" Damon looked at the teen who had been watching Anna talk.
"Hello!" Fayth hissed at Jeremy waiting.
"He's a vampire and a hunter, and you guys would be idiots to wake him." He looked up at Anna "What do you mean, wake him?"
"it's time to go find the keys." Damon told Fayth and Katherine/
"Mm-hmm." Katherine agreed.
Caroline woke up in a classroom of Mystic Falls High to see the blonde British girl on her phone scanning through it "We didn't have mobile telephones in my day. Would have made life a whole lot easier, I suppose." She took a picture of herself on the phone.
"Where's Tyler?" Caroline rasped.
"He's dead-ish." Rebekah replied.
Caroline saw Tyler laying on the floor not breathing at all "What did you do to him?"
"Think of it as he's having a nap. When he wakes up, he'll be a hybrid." Rebekah replied.
The Brit was looking through the pictures, she hissed at their friendships: Caroline and Tyler smiling happily at the camera. Stefan and Caroline smiling too. Caroline, Grace and Bonnie giggling and having a good time. Grace and Damon, Rebekah could tell this was taken without them both knowing as they were sharing an intimate kiss. Stefan and Grace pushing each other around. Caroline and Grace posing in a mirror in their Pjs. Tyler, Caroline and Grace. Elena and Stefan smiling romantically at each other.
"Ugh. Vomit." Rebekah hissed "Is that my necklace..." She hissed zooming in on the necklace around Elena's neck "Why is that doppelgänger bitch wearing my necklace!"
Stefan was feeding on Chad, his screams had died out by now he was fading and would soon by completely drained, Dana was already dead at his feet "It's always nice to see a vampire in his true element. The species has become such a broody lot..." Klaus looked at Grace with a smirk.
"No. You did this to him." Grace spat.
"I invited him to the party, love. He's the one dancing on the table." The hybrid countered as Rebekah stormed in the room rushing towards Elena, Grace stood in front of her twin protectively.
"Move out of the way, little girl. I don't care if my brother see's something in you. I will rip your head clean off your shoulders." Rebekah glared at the brunette who stared back at her.
"Rebekah, calm down." Klaus ordered.
"Where is it! Where's my necklace?" Rebekah ordered.
"What are you talking about?" Klaus pinched the bridge of his nose annoying by his sisters presence once again.
"She has my necklace. Look!" The blonde handed the hybrid the phone and he saw the necklace that he needed laying on Elena's neck as she smiled up at a much more stable Stefan.
"Well, well. More lies." Klaus looked down at Grace.
"Where is it?" Rebekah's voice was low.
"I don't have it anymore." Elena promised looking over Grace's shoulder.
"You're lying!" Rebekah screamed and Grace hurdled herself at her slamming her against a wall, Rebekah got the upper hand and slammed the younger vampire against the wall "I warned you once, now you're beginning to annoy me." She spat as she was about to rip her apart limp by limp but Klaus stopped her.
"Knock it off!" Klaus threw her across the room.
"Make her tell me where it is, Nik!" Rebekah screamed like a child that had lost something.
Klaus walked back over to Elena and looked down into her dark brown eyes "Where's the necklace, sweetheart? Be honest."
"I'm telling the truth. Katherine and Fayth stole it." Elena whimpered.
"Katerina and Fay. Of course. Well, that's unfortunate. If we had the necklace it would make things a whole lot easier for your witch, but since we're doing this the hard way, let's put a clock on it, shall we?" he grabbed a remote and the board at the top of the gym buzzed "20 minutes. If Bonnie hasn't found a solution by then, I want you to feed again. Only this time, I want you to feed on Elena. You know you want to." He told Ripper Stefan.
"No, Klaus! Don't do this to him!" Grace begged.
"You know you're really starting to get in the way." He zipped over to her "Night night, love." He snapped her neck and she fell to the floor "That takes care of that for the moment. Stefan, if she tries to leave..." he looked over at Elena "fracture her spine." He ordered before leaving the room with Rebekah at his side.
Matt was in they smaller gym that was placed to the pool, he talking on the phone with Bonnie whilst she grabbing a couple of things from her locker and trying to find Jeremy "Did you find Jeremy?" Matt questioned.
"No! I called him like 20 times." Bonnie answered.
"Alright, I'll grab my keys, we'll head to his house." Matt replied.
"Ok. I'll meet you by your truck." She replied.
As he put his phone away he had noticed that all his stuff had been thrown to the other side of the room "What the hell?" He muttered as he grabbed his bag looking inside to notice that his keys weren't in there, glancing around the room he notice metal sparkling at the bottom of the pool "You have got to be kidding me!" He hissed as he took off his jacket and shoes.
Unknown to him Vicki had been messing with him, trying to get his attention she was stood behind him screaming, trying to get his attention "Matt! I can help, Matty, but I need you to hear me." She kicked one of his shoes in the pool trying to tell him she was here.
Suddenly his phone vibrated, thinking it might have been Bonnie he checked it to see he had a unread message from Vicki "Whoa! Vicki?" He quickly grabbed his phone and rung the young witch.
"What's taking so long?" Bonnie asked from where she was stood next to Matt's truck.
Matt walked from the gym, holding a large weight hanging from his belt "This is going to sound crazy, but I think Vicki's trying to reach out to me." He told her, if anyone was going to understand it was going to be the witch.
"What?" Bonnie questioned.
"I think she can help us save Tyler." Matt replied.
"No, Jeremy can help us save Tyler." Bonnie countered.
"We can't find Jeremy." He reminded her "We need to try something else. I have an idea but I'm going to need your help. Meet me at the pool."
"I don't understand." Bonnie replied.
"Jeremy can see ghost because you brought him back from the dead. I need you to do that for me." The blond told her.
"What?" Bonnie hissed "No, Matt, that's crazy!"
"This is going to work, trust me." Matt assured her.
"No, Matt, I can't do that kind of magic anymore." She told him.
"You don't need magic, Bonnie. You just have to be better then I was a CPR." He told her before hanging up, jumping into the pool the weight pulled him straight to the floor, blowing the air from his chest, he couldn't move and he wasn't about to try and get out of the it. Bonnie ran into the room as fast as she could to see him underwater, jumping in quickly she removed the weight from him and they both floated to the top.
Jeremy was still sitting on the picnic bench, blood tricking down from where Damon had slammed his head against the wood, he was slowly beginning to fall asleep, but that may had just been from the head injury he had suffered.
"Don't fall asleep, Jer." Damon called as he approached "You might have concussion."
"Thanks for the concern, dick." Jeremy growled, he had been the one that had caused the injury.
"Oh, stop pouting." Fayth ordered glaring at the younger vampire "He took one for the team. Everyone back home will thank you once Klaus is dead, then you can have that little baby vampire all to yourself, because she does it for you." She rolled her eyes.
"Where's my phone?" Damon ordered
"Do you need to check in with Grace? Make sure it's ok you pummelled who is basically her little bro?" Katherine smirked.
"You know you have it." Damon looked directly at Fayth ignoring Katherine.
"What can I say? I needed you present here and now." Fayth shrugged looking away from him.
"Fayth. Phone. Now." Damon ordered, she sighed heavily and passed the phone over to him, it had been sitting in the pocket of her leather jacket "Bonnie's been texting me."
"What is it?" Jeremy looked over at him.
"It's Klaus." His voice lowered.
"No turning back, Damon." Fayth reminded him.
"Shut up, Fayth." Damon hissed.
"Hey, look at the big picture. The best shot of taking out Klaus is finding Mikael." Katherine shrugged.
"And the easiest shot of losing Grace is leaving her alone in the same town as Klaus, I'm not loosing her again." His growled before looking over at Jeremy "Stay with them so Anna can guide you. I'm going back." He turned and walked for his car.
"You're going to get yourself killed." Fayth called and Damon turned to face her "The Damon I remember wouldn't have been that stupid."
"I wouldn't have done it for you." Damon replied bluntly.
Bonnie was trying to save Matt, but preforming CPR on him wasn't doing the job, she kept pumping his chest and blowing air in, but it wasn't working "Matt, please! I can't do this. There's nothing else I can do!"
Matt however was on the brink of death, in the in between, he saw Vicki, but he could also see Bonnie begging him to reanimate
"Matt. Matt!" Vicki screamed.
"Vicki?" Matt looked over at his deceased sister.
"Matt. Please!" Vicki yelled.
"I can see you." Matt nodded.
"I need you to listen to me very carefully. I don't have much time." She spoke quickly and fearfully.
"Why, what's happening? Where are we?" Matt asked.
"It doesn't matter. I need you to give Bonnie a message..." Vicki told him.
When Matt woke up he spat out a stream of water that had been laying dormant in his lungs, Bonnie sat him upright patting his back "it's ok." She assured him "You're ok."
Stefan and Elena were in the gym, the doppelgänger was crouched by her twins body, she was shaking her trying to wake her up, Stefan was sweating heavily as he looked up at the large clock, 6 minutes remained, the telepathic vampire was beginning to come back to life slowly, groaning and grunting, but not opening her eyes.
"I-If I wake her up... Will she be able to fight you?" Elena asked "I don't want her to get hurt."
"It wouldn't be any use." Stefan told her fighting his inner self "She wouldn't be strong enough, that would only give you moments to run... And I could... I could kill her completely, she may not wake up..."
"Caroline's dad! Stefan, he was able to resist compulsion. I don't know how, but he did it. Maybe it's possible." Elena told him tears stinging her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah." Stefan breathed "Maybe it's just mind control, right? Maybe it just takes some focus, a couple of decades of training. No big deal." He shrugged as if it was nothing.
"Stefan, you can control this. When the buzzer goes off, just... just drink from me." Elena whimpered.
"You don't get it. I can't stop, Elena! I'm a ripper! A ripper doesn't stop! I listen to the words that come out of your mouth, and all I hear is the sound of your heart pumping blood through your body." His voice was cold and icy as he dragged his fingers through his messy disarray of hair "And when that clock ticks down... I'm going to have to feed on you. And you want to know what's worse? I'm not going to be able to stop."
"I don't believe that. You can fight it. You just have to want it bad enough." Elena told him.
"Why, because I love you?" His voice broke.
"Yeah! That's right, Stefan. Because you love me. You'll fight because after everything that we've been through, you owe me that!" Tears rolled down her smooth face.
"You know what, you're right. You're right. I owe you everything. Because through all of this, you are the one thing that has kept me from giving up; from turning it all off. But I can't help what I am, Elena. The more blood that I get, the more I want, and if I get so much as near yours... You are dead." he confirmed.
Caroline, Tyler and Rebekah were in the classroom, suddenly the wolf woke up gasping and clutching his chest "Where am I?" He looked around "What happened?"
"Tyler." Caroline looked over at him, how was she going to explain to him he was a werewolf about to become a vampire.
"Don't shy about it." Rebekah smiled smugly at the other blonde.
"What's going on?" Tyler asked.
"Klaus is turning you into a vampire. A hybrid. You're in transition." Caroline whimpered.
"Don't leave out the hard part, sweets. You'll only survive if your witch is successful. If not... You're pretty much dead." Rebekah grinned.
"You're going to be ok. Ok? It's going to be ok." Caroline assured him.
"I wonder how she's doing." Rebekah mused before looking down at Caroline's phone "Tick tock goes the gym clock."
Bonnie and Matt were out in the hall way, the witch was giving him a hard look, she was so angry with him for trying to kill himself just so he could be in touch with his dead sister "As soon as you're feeling better, I'm going to kill you."
"It worked. I saw her, I saw Vicki." Matt told her.
"You did?" Bonnie asked surprised.
"She said she had a message for you." Matt looked over at her.
"For me?" Bonnie asked.
"From the witch that put the hybrid curse on Klaus. She said that Elena shouldn't have survived Klaus' ritual. The hybrids can't transition because Elena's still alive." Matt told her.
"Tyler..." Bonnie whispered.
"He's going to die, isn't he?" Matt asked solemnly.
"I wouldn't be too sure about that." Klaus was behind them leaning casually against a wall "Given the choice, doppelgänger or a hybrid, I go hybrid every time." a grin spread across his lips.
There was only moments left on the clock and the tension was high in the gym, Grace was still out cold on the floor and Elena was breathing heavily as Stefan sweat, pacing the room "Elena, you're going to have to run." Stefan told her.
"But Klaus said that if I run-"
"I know what he said, but if you stay, it won't matter." The clock was getting closer and Stefan began to panic "Elena, please, please please. Elena, there's no other way."
"There is another way, Stefan. It's for you to fight." Elena told him firmly as the buzzer sounded "Stefan... I love you. Fight, Stefan. Don't give up."
"I can't hold it." His face began to change and he charged at a wall trying to hold himself back.
"Elena, run!" Grace screamed as she was standing now, holding her head "Go!"
"Grace-"
"Go!" Grace leaped at Stefan tackling him to the floor, Elena ran for the door.
"I don't want to do this." Stefan whimpered "Please, get Elena somewhere safe, I can hold it for only moments."
"I know." Grace nodded, like that she was gone, grabbing Elena she ran down the hall and crashed into Klaus "no." She hissed.
"We've got to stop meeting like this... I hoped you stay dead during this." He looked down at Grace.
Stefan ran into the cafeteria grabbing a wooden mop from where the janitor had been cleaning, he snapped it in half and drove it through his body, suddenly the doors burst open and Klaus entered with Grace and Elena.
"Now this is fascinating. I've never seen this before. The only thing stronger than your craving for blood is your love for this one girl." The hybrid looked down at Elena "Why don't you turn it off?" Klaus suggested.
"No!" Stefan hissed.
"Come on. Your humanity is killing you. All the guilt must be exhausting. Turn it off." Klaus told him.
"No!" Stefan hissed again.
"Stefan..." Elena whispered.
"You're strong." Klaus walked towards the vampire removing the stake "But you're not that strong. Turn... it... off."
"No!" Stefan shoved Klaus away from him, the hybrid felt anger boiling up inside of him as he pinned Stefan against the wall and compelled him.
"Turn it off!" He yelled and Stefan chocked as his face paled as his fate sunk in.
"What did you do?" Grace whimpered.
"I fixed him." Klaus himself seemed surprised as his rash decision "But I think a test is in order, don't you?" He zipped over to Grace holding her firmly against his chest moving her away from the doppelgänger "Ripper. Perhaps a drink... From the doppelgänger's neck?" He suggested
"No!" Grace screamed struggling against him "No! You bastard! No." Stefan's face changed completely to his demonic state as he rushed for Elena, he tore into her neck and she let out a bloodcurdling scream.
Moments later Klaus entered the classroom that Rebekah, Tyler and Caroline were currently in, he was holding something in his hand "Well, the verdict's in. The Original witch says the doppelgänger should be dead."
Rebekah grinned as she rose from her seat "Does that mean we can kill her?"
"No, I'm fairly certain it means the opposite." Klaus retorted.
"What?" Rebekah hissed.
"Call it a hunch..." Klaus mused as he shoved Tyler a vial of blood, Rebekah quickly zipped over to the other blonde holding her firmly "Elena's blood. Drink it."
"No! No, no, no, Tyler, don't!" Caroline screamed.
"If he doesn't feed, he'll die anyway, love. Consider this an experiment." Klaus shrugged as Tyler grabbed the vial and gulped it down "There we go. Good boy." He cooed.
Tyler let out painful yells as he spasmed and withered on the cold floor, he clasped his head in pain curling into a ball on the floor, as he looked up his face had changed he had bright amber eyes with prominent black veins underneath, his fangs bared at them all "Well, that's a good sign."
Later on that night Grace awoke with a small sigh, suddenly she felt a burning pain biting at her skin as she moved on the chair she was sitting on, vervain ropes. Glancing around the room she could smell the sickly, coppery smell of blood fill her nostrils. Her eyes darkened at the smell of it, glancing up she saw Elena on a hospital bed a nurse removing a full blood bag to put on another.
"What are you doing?" Grace coughed "What's happening?"
"Your sister suffered a terrible ordeal." The nurse told her.
"No. You have to let me go." Grace told her weakly, she could see the vervain burning her throat gently, with every swallow of saliva it was like razor blades.
"You need to be here for your sister." The nurse told her "Here. Drink this." She soothed her as she bright a cup up to her lips feeding her vervain in water before walking back over to Elena injecting her with a liquid to keep her sedated.
"No." Grace whimpered as the vervain burned her throat badly she coughed up blood "Why are you taking her blood... Tell me!"
"Her blood." Klaus walked in the room "Sweetheart, don't you look a sight. Untie her and leave." He ordered the nurse.
The nurse walked over to Grace removing the vervain ropes, it was like wax strips, only they took off flesh and hurt a hell of a lot more "Ah." Grace hissed as she stood up, the nurse quickly removed herself from the room.
"Much better, hmm?" Klaus smiled.
"How could you do this?" Grace hissed "y-you made him turn it off! You can't do this, Klaus, you just... you can't!" Her voice was thick and raspy.
"Can't I? I think I've already done it, sweetheart... You're not meant to be battling with your humanity and emotions, you're meant to eat and move on... I suppose sex comes with that, too." He eyed her up and down "a bonus I suppose..."
"Don't you dare." She slapped him hard "Emotions are a two way street, to love you have to hurt and isn't that what we all want? Love? You say you love me. You say I feel something for you... so you must have some sort of emotion."
Klaus was speechless as he stared down at the sobbing girl "Just be quite, love."
"Was it you?" Grace whispered finally, she had to know who had saved her from a burning house when she was younger.
"What?" Klaus looked over at her "What have I done now that has upset you so much?"
"Did you save me from my house when I was younger... that was that was set alight? Back in England, when my parents moved us away for Mystic Falls... was it you?" She asked "The hospital said a mysterious man dropped me off and left... was that man you?"
"Yes, I did... I knew your parents, they invited me in one time whilst you were out... When the house was set alight I saved you." Klaus confirmed "I did it because I care about you and I didn't want you to die, so you could be with me-"
"Then you left me in a hospital and I had to move back to Mystic Falls with my Gran... my parents died and I had to leave town, why didn't you come back?" Grace whimpered.
"Because you were 13 at the time, I wanted you to grow up, I wanted you to experience life... And then... then at 21, I would have taken you... Show you the world. Just you and me." He nodded "I didn't know that idiot was going to run in and make you fall in love with him." Klaus replied in a harsh voice referring to Grace's lover, Damon.
"He didn't make me." Grace replied "I fell in love, because he was there for me-"
"But he didn't always want you, did he? He was here for Fayth first, wasn't he? So you were second best? You... you were always my number 1." He took a step towards her stroking her face gently "That is why I saved you, that's why I didn't kill you for being a vampire, or use you as the vampire in the sacrifice-"
"So why are you torturing everyone I love!" Grace hissed "Let Elena go, let Stefan go!"
"No." He shook his head firmly "Tell me, where is Damon tonight? He doesn't appear to be here saving you, and he hasn't answered any of messages, or tried to call you at all..." He peaked into her messages.
"He... he left town." Grace whispered snatching her phone back "Because of you, he left me because of that stupid kiss we shared on that stupid mountain, when your selfish-ass was trying to make your stupid hybrids!"
"Stupid kiss?" Klaus smirked "It wasn't so stupid when you were participating in it, was it, love."
"I should have died. You know what? Now that I think about it. I would rather be dead than had been disloyal to Damon. It's all your fault." She hissed at him vindictively.
"I think you'll find that you kissed me." Klaus countered giving her a smug look.
"If you never had taken me from Mystic Falls the kiss would never had happened!" Grace replied her muscles flinching under her pale skin with hate filled every word.
"If he wouldn't have tried to ruin my plans he wouldn't have been bitten and you would have had to trade yourself for his cure..." Klaus retorted.
"If you didn't want to be a hybrid none of this would have happened! If I had died in that fire... then... then... he would be better off if I had never shown up his life." Grace sighed "I miss him, I love him so much."
"You could love me." Klaus offered.
Grace laughed "I hate you, Klaus." Grace told him through gritted teeth "I hate you for what you've done to Damon and I... and I-I will never forgive you and I will make it my mission to end you."
Klaus glared down at her "Fine. If I can't have you..." He shoved her back against the wall reaching into her chest clamping his hand around her heart "No one can."
For a moment she let out a pain filled gasp and she wanted Klaus to rip her heart out, she felt his hand clenched around her still beating, she looked up into his hurt icy orbs with a blank expression on her face. If she couldn't have the one man she loved, Damon, then she didn't want anyone, she didn't want to live in a world where she couldn't be happy and in love, knowing use had hurt the man she truly loved so much.
"No!" Damon ran in the room and tackled him to the floor, Grace fell down the wall clutching her chest in agony, it had been a while since she had fed and the healing was painfully slow.
"What are you doing here?" Klaus hissed.
"Don't you want me to tell you about your friend Mikael?" Damon looked down at the hybrids face changed to painfully scared.
"What do you know about Mikael?" Klaus hissed staring up at the younger vampire.
"Just that he knows you're here." Damon smirked.
"You're bluffing." Klaus eyed him.
"Fayth and I found him. Consider it our leverage." The younger vampire smirked as Klaus threw him off against a wall. When Damon looked around the room Klaus was already gone, vanished from the room.
The older vampire quickly rushed over to Grace kissing her passionately "I'm so sorry I wasn't here sooner."
"We need to get Elena out of here." Grace whimpered.
"I know. I know." Damon walked over to Elena pulling the needle from her skin "C'mon. We'll take her back home."
Caroline and Tyler were stood in the hallway still in the school, the new hybrid wasn't suffering as bad as the vampire figured that he would be, instead he was fairly upbeat and happy.
"are you sure you're ok?" Caroline asked concerned.
"I'm great, Caroline." Tyler gushed "I mean, like, phenomenal. It's a rush. I wish I could explain it. Everything's just... better." He grabbed her in his arms and spun her on the spot romantically, she giggled blushing as he pressed his lips against her "This is going to be an amazing year." The hybrid hugged her tightly, but Caroline was more than worried, her expression showed it.
Grace helped Elena into the house, they both had solemn looks on their faces as Damon waited at out on the porch keeping look out for anything, Grace tucked Elena in.
"Are you going to be alright? Are you sure you don't want me to stay?" Grace asked "You lost a lot of blood."
"No. I just... I need some time to think... some time to myself." Elena answered "Thank you, though."
"It's not problem, 'Lena. I'm sorry about-"
"Don't." Elena hushed "Listen, you're man is waiting for you to take you in his arms and kiss you over and over... Go to him." She pushed her "I'll just sleep this off."
"if you're sure." Grace whispered.
"I'm sure." Elena nodded "Now go."
"I'll call Bonnie, ask her to come over, ok?" Grace asked and Elena nodded wearily.
Bonnie joined Matt in the gym, he was basically dry now, but still had a towel wrapped around him as he stared across the room "Hey." She interrupted his train of thought "You ready? I could still use a ride over to Jeremy's. Grace asked me to check in on Elena."
"Yeah, just a sec." Matt muttered.
"Listen to me. I know you want to help, and I know you miss your sister. But what you did was reckless and stupid." Bonnie told him firmly.
"I know. Bonnie. I know." The human nodded "But it worked. It was worth it."
"You don't want to be part of all this, Matt. You are the only one of us who actually gets to live your life like a normal person, no matter how lost you feel. Don't forget that." She rubbed his arm.
"I get it, Bonnie. I'll be out in a minute, ok? Vicki's here. Watching me, and I just, uh, I need a minute to say goodbye, ok?" Matt told her and Bonnie left, but Matt didn't realise "Bon, seriously, I'm not going to do anything stupid, I just-" As he turned his head to face her he saw the dead face of his pretty young sisters "Vicki?"
She sat down on her knees next to him "Hi, Matty." She whispered.
The fire flicked beautifully as Grace sat in front of it, her chocolate brown orbs were burning as she sat too close, a pair of hands wrapped around her waist as he crouched down behind her warming her back "Here." Damon passed her a bourbon "It'll make you feel better, I promise."
"I hope so." Grace replied as she tilted the glass up at her lips "Where were you, Damon? I thought you had... had left me." She didn't even want to admit what she was feeling.
"I wouldn't." Damon promise "I shouldn't have just gone like that, Gracie, I promise you... I will never leave you again." He muttered assuringly, she melted into his words.
Grace stood up walking away from the fireplace, clutching the glass in her hands, which apart from the dimly lit lights were the only things that was lighting the room, it gave the whole scene a romantic setting as the paced around each other.
"I hated myself." Grace whimpered as she finally turned to him "I thought I had pushed you away, I thought I had lost you forever and I didn't want to live anymore."
"Grace." Damon whispered, there was a long pause that ran through the hallow halls of the Salvatore Boarding House "I don't blame you, it was him. And I-I heard what you said to Klaus."
"About me hating him?" Grace question and Damon nodded "I do." She confirmed "He's the reason I had to leave Mystic Falls and you... and made this gap between us."
"There isn't a gap." Damon told her firmly, he didn't want to admit they had been drifted apart "We're stronger... you made your choice you told Klaus you didn't want him, you want me and that's all I need to you." A smile appeared on his lips "We have each other and that's all we need."
"What about Stefan? What about Elena?" Tears sparkled in her eyes.
"We'll worry about that tomorrow." Damon whispered leaning down his lips barely touching her "Tonight, let's just just have us. Let me have you. Be mine."
"You can have me anytime you want me." Grace smiled cupping his cheek "I am yours, Damon Salvatore."
Damon pressed his lips against her watching as he eyes fluttered shut, his hands ran from her shoulders, down her arms to her fingers, he jumped his hands to clasped them around her waist tightly pulling her against him.
Pulling back for a moment, he looked at her face, placing a small kiss of each of her cheeks he could feel her heartbeat raise greatly as she clawed his hard chest through his thin black dress shirt with her sharp nails.
He closed the distance once again between her lips and his lips, this time she kissed back, standing on her tip toes to knot her fingers in his hair deepening the kiss slightly, Damon's tongue darted out and it slid over her bottom lip slowly waiting for her to allow him entrance and she didn't hesitate to let his slick tongue slid inside.
Holding her closer the older vampire zipped them to be standing back against the wall, opening her legs placing his knee between them to keep them open, she purred as his tongue snaked up and down her own as he held her back against the wall.
Grace then turned moving rushing them towards the couch, making him fall backwards as she straddled his waist, he tickled his finger tips up and down her sides and she giggled leaning down to kiss him again, a small kiss that left him wanting more.
"Tell me again." Damon whispered.
"I'm yours." Grace purred kissing his strong jaw line, her tongue darting out to taste the salty skin dance across her tongue as he grunted wanting more form her "Forever."
"Good." Damon smiled watching her work on his neck with her plump juicy lips whilst unbuttoning his shirt to reveal his toned chest, pressing the pads of her finger tips to the hard skin, he stroked her thick chocolate brown locks back off of her face to look into her deep eyes, they were sparkling in the perfect light of the fireplace.
Quickly Damon moved them again so they were on the fur rub down by the fire, shimmying his shirt off his shoulders Grace watched his muscles flex under the smooth, pale skin. Leaning down he pressed his lips to her again, going straight for an open-mouth kiss, their tongues twirling and dancing with each other mouths.
Tugging at the hem of her white shirt she pulled away from the kiss and leaned up a little so he could ripped the material over her head, instead he just tore it from her body, she gasped at him "Damon. This shirt was expensive." She told him firmly.
"I'll buy you a new one." Damon told her with a smirk looking down at her lovely perky breast hidden by a white, lacy bra. As he brushed his finger tips over the soft skin of her stomach she arched her back gently, he smiled as she reacted to his touch on her bare flesh.
As she tilted her head back he took his opportunity to attack her neck with butterfly kisses, nibbling at the skin with his blunt teeth making her moan and gasp, her breathing was erratic and her body movements were not in her own control as she flinched and arched. Reaching behind her arched back Damon unclipped her bra sliding it down her arms and laying it carefully next to their shirts.
"You're so beautiful." He told her and she blushed heavily tears sparkling in her eyes "Don't. Don't cry."
"Sorry." She whimpered as tears spilled down her cheeks "It's just... I thought I had lost you and now I have you all to myself and I love you so much, I never want us to be apart again, promise me."
"I promise you." Damon pecked her lips drying her eyes "Now don't cry, soon you'll be screaming..." He smirked as he leaned his head down to her breasts, a small sigh fell from her lips as he lapped his tongue over her nipple making her gasp and wither in pleasure.
"Well, isn't this cozy." A thick voice came from the arch way leading into the room.
"Stefan." Grace gasped covering herself hiding behind Damon "But, Klaus... he... he-"
"He went out of town for a while."
"So why are you here." Damon growled as his younger brother.
"The last time I check, I actually lived here." Stefan smirked "I'll let you two get back to... foreplay." He walked from the doorway.
At a cemetery Katherine, Fayth and Jeremy were standing in front of a crypt, the two twins were unsure if the dead vampire who had been speaking to Jeremy had been telling the truth
"How do you know that Anna wasn't tricking you?" Katherine looked across at Jeremy.
"This is the place. It's the oldest wing of the large cemetery in Charlotte. She said that a witch entombed him here in the 90s." He glanced through the door to the tomb "Look there."
Fayth opened the door to the crypt open and looked at the stone coffin, she pushed the lid off with the help of her twin and grimaced at when she saw, a mummified vampire, he was older and he was also chained up, suddenly his eyes opened and they both jolted.
A/N
