Chapter 2:
Sienna woke up the next day with a groan when she remembered that there was going to be another vampire Salvatore in the house. She got up and dashed to the bathroom, emptying her insides into the toilet. Stupid morning sickness! Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Trudging over to Stefan's room in her bunny slippers, she groaned and bounced onto his bed, sitting next to him. "You're up early Sienna," Stefan looked worriedly at her.
"Yeah well I'm pregnant, morning sickness and all," Sienna wrinkled her nose in disgust at the reminder. She looked behind her to see the smashed window, "Huh, so it wasn't a dream."
"Yeah, nope," Stefan popped the 'p'.
"Anything interesting happened at the party yesterday?" asked Sienna sadly; she really wanted to go with her sisters. Stupid pregnancy! Stupid Stone Fell!
Stefan put his diary back on the table and turned to face Sienna. "Woah, so something bad happened for you to be this serious," Sienna looked worried now.
Stefan sighed, "Last night during the party, Damon attacked Vicki Donovan. She's not dead," Stefan said quickly upon seeing the horror on Sienna's face and the question at the tip of her tongue.
"Things aren't going to be all rainbows and sunshine anymore now that he's back, right?" the only answer she got was an imminent shake of his head. "Great use of your words, Stefan, excellent. I'm making breakfast."
Sienna got dressed for school, thankful that she wasn't showing so much yet that her clothes were still able to fit, and went down to the kitchen, passing Damon on her way with an eye roll. She heard footsteps behind her signaling that he was following her, but she just kept ignoring him while she took out ingredients from the fridge.
"So, what do you want for breakfast?" she asked, looking at a bewildered Damon. Damon never expected her to ask and he stared at his niece with a puzzled frown. "Fine, I'll just make extra of everything," she sighed when it looked like he wasn't going to give her an answer.
Twenty minutes later, the table was filled with a variety of food, from pancakes, to bacon, to eggs and toast with juice, coffee and tea. "UNCLE ZACH! STEFAN! BREAKFAST!"
They came into the kitchen staring in shock at a still bewildered Damon, and a filled table. "Uncle Damon," Zach gasped, "You're back." He looked fearful and went to stand protectively near Sienna who rolled her eyes.
"Yeah okay, person eating for two here, really hungry, shut your yaps all three of you and sit down and eat!" Sienna snapped, plopping down in a chair and smearing a pancake with peanut butter and pickles. She was halfway through it when she noticed multiple pairs of eyes on her.
"You do know that's disgusting right?" Damon wrinkled his nose as he looked at what she was eating. Sienna shrugged, "And I think it's gross that you drink blood."
Damon smirked staring at the girl in amusement, "Touché."
Breakfast was awkward to say the least. Zach kept staring at Damon in fear after every few bites, Stefan kept fidgeting uncomfortably not making eye contact with anyone, and Damon relished in the fear he could smell in the air. Sienna was the only one unbothered as she ate like a pig until her hunger was abated.
"Come on Stef, school!" said Sienna perkily. So she was feeling happy today, whatever. She kissed Zach on the forehead on her way out and waved slightly at Damon before climbing into the car.
There was a comfortable silence in the car, but Sienna knew that Stefan was bursting to say something. She looked sideways at him with a raised eyebrow, "Spit it out Stefan, it's not healthy keeping whatever you want to say in."
"Aren't you scared," he blurted out immediately. "I mean … Damon came back and you made him … breakfast instead of fearing him like Zach."
Sienna shrugged, "He's family, no matter how distant he may be. But I'm not going to live in fear in my own house, ya know? Who knows how long Damon is staying. I'm not going to cower and avoid him every time I see him."
"You know, you're courage is inspiring. I even fear my own brother. He's volatile."
Sienna thought about what Stefan said for a moment as she parked the car at school parking lot. Before clambering out, she said, "Maybe that's what he needs. Someone to treat him normally, without fear; someone that won't treat him like the monster he thinks he is."
Sienna left Stefan to ponder what she told him as she ran over to her friends who immediately engulfed her into huge hugs and began babbling on and on about the party last night and Vicki's attack.
"So, your cousin is infatuated with Elena," Luna sneered in disgust. Sienna groaned, "I know! I already told him how much of a bitch she is, but he's love-struck."
"Wow, poor you. You might have Elena as part of the family," said River in disgust as they made their way to history class.
"Oh come on you guys, she's not that bad," said Caroline weakly. Her three friends gave her dumbfounded looks; they of course knew she was friends with Elena, even though she wasn't close with her as she was with them, and even though they hated it, they respected her decision to be friends with her.
"Caroline, don't even try to cover for her. River and I were sitting at the grill when you were crying to Bennett about Elena always being picked over you," snapped Luna, she never played around the bush, always preferring to speak the harsh truth no matter how much it hurts.
"Oh, Care-Bear, you were into Stefan?" Sienna looked pityingly at her best friend. If she had told her about her crush yesterday she would have set her straight. Stefan wasn't going for anyone but Elena Gilbert.
"Yeah. He told me quite bluntly that he wasn't interested," said Caroline sadly, looking down at the ground. She then perked up, "But, I saw someone else! Someone hotter and mysterious."
"Oh, do tell," giggled River.
"I didn't get a name. But he was dressed in leather. Black hair and these electric blue eyes that just captured you," Caroline sighed dreamily and Sienna halted in her steps, her mind going a mile a minute as she felt fear trickle down her spine.
Dressed all in leather. Black hair. Electric blue eyes. …Damon Salvatore!
No, no, no, no, no! She didn't trust Damon not to hurt her best friend! Maybe she was overreacting; maybe he wasn't interested in her. She heard her friends calling her name while she was in her little trance and looked up to see the three of them looking at her in concern.
"Sorry," Sienna laughed nervously, "Got lost in thought. Come on, we're going to be late for Tanner's class." She wasn't about to get ahead of herself. Maybe nothing would happen; if it doesn't then she'll intervene, but for now she'll just leave it be.
The four girls sat in their usual seats around each other and took their notebooks out as Mr. Tanner began the class; this time he was talking about the comet that happened 145 years ago and she stared at Stefan in amusement; he was there for that too.
"Originally discovered nearly 5 centuries ago, it hasn't been over Mystic Falls in over 145 years. Now, the comet will be its brightest right after dusk during tomorrow's celebration," Mr. Tanner blathered on. He then snapped his attention to Elena who was, once again, having eye-sex with Stefan – yuck! "Are we bothering you, Mr. Salvatore? Ms. Gilbert?"
The two of them immediately dropped their gazes as the bell rang.
"Saved by the bell," Luna sang in a carrying voice, making Elena give her a dirty look. She then looked at Sienna and smiled, but she just sneered at her and walked out of class with River, Luna and Caroline.
"Wow, did Elena Gilbert just smile at you?" River stared at her friend in shock. Sienna scoffed, "Probably now that she's into my cousin, she wants to become friends with me … fat chance of that happening. That ship sailed ages ago."
"Bitch!" Luna growled. Caroline looked uncomfortable, but she knew that her friends hated Elena and all things Elena; by extension they disliked Bonnie. She was glad they never singled her out or gave her trouble over it; they were her best friends and respected that she was friends with Elena, even though they didn't like it.
"Oh lookie, your cousin and prissy over there are trading books," said Luna in a mocking tone. "How romantic."
"Hey, keep the digs at Elena, leave my cuz out of it," snapped Sienna. "You'll see, he'll change his views on her one day. Be it today, tomorrow or a year from now." Sienna felt bile rise in her throat, "Bathroom, bathroom, bathroom!" her three friends helped her into a stall while she puked her guts out looking like hell while they held her hair away from her face.
"Why do they call it morning sickness when it happens all day?!" groaned Sienna.
"I am never getting pregnant," Luna shook her head in disgust.
"Yeah, seriously, they say 'the joys of pregnancy' … I'm not seeing any joy," Caroline looked repulsed.
Flushing the toilet, Sienna took out her toothbrush and paste from her bag, and after she was done cleaning herself, she groaned and looked at her friends who were all staring at her in pity. "Yeah, well. Life's a bitch, how else are they supposed to increase the population without a tiny white lie."
"True," River laughed as they made their way outside for lunch. "Oh god," Luna groaned staring at a distance ahead from them, "My brother is fighting with Elena's little brother again."
"I like Jeremy, I feel bad that he has a shrew for a sister," commented River perkily.
"Well, they're both enamored with Vicki Donovan," Luna informed them. "Tyler's screwing her and apparently Jeremy and Vicki are drug-buddies."
"You think they had hot, steamy sex?" asked Caroline in interest. River shrugged, "Tyler for sure, but Jeremy … don't know."
"I say they have," said Sienna, munching on a giant sub sandwich. "Anything can happen when you're in a drug daze, and his parents just died, so he's acting out with the Drug Queen of Mystic Falls."
"True," Luna looked disgusted talking about her brother's sex life, "Mom isn't going to like that when she finds out."
After school, Caroline had plans with Bonnie to go to the grill and Luna and River had to go home, but they made plans to meet back later on. Sienna went back to the Boarding house and saw that Zach was waiting for her, beckoning her over to his office.
"What's up Uncle Zach?" asked Sienna as she made herself comfortable on the armchair.
"I wanted to check on how you were doing now that Damon is back, are you okay?" Sienna smiled comfortingly, "I'm fine. He doesn't scare me Uncle Zach. If we treat him with fear then we're giving him power over us."
"You're a smart girl Sienna. Your parents don't know what they're missing out on," Zach smiled. Sienna gave him a weak smile; she hated it when anyone brought up her parents … she hated them with a passion after … everything. But she was glad that Uncle Zach took her in. "I made you an appointment to check on your pregnancy next week. So don't be late. Do you want me to come with you?"
"Nah," Sienna beamed at him as she stood up to leave. "I'll have one of the girls go with me. Thanks Uncle Zach." She was making her way over to the staircase when she heard someone walking in … that's weird; she was positive that she had closed the door behind her.
She doubled back to the front door, only to see Elena Gilbert making her way inside, at the same time a black crow flew in and disappeared, the door shutting behind her and she found Damon standing next to her with a smug grin on his face.
Elena jumped as she stared at the both of them, her hand clutched over her chest, "I-I'm sorry for barging in. The door was … open." She looked surprised when she turned around to see it closed.
"You must be Elena. I'm Damon, Stefan's brother," Damon was putting on the charm. Great, more fans of Elena.
"He didn't tell me he had a brother … oh hi, Sienna," Sienna looked at her unimpressed.
"Well, Stefan's not one to brag. Please, come. I'm sure Stefan will be along any second," Damon smirked. Sienna glared at him before standing up in Elena's face. "Who the hell do you think you are coming into my house, uninvited?"
"Uh, um, well, the, the door was opened and I wanted to see Stefan," Elena stuttered putting on her innocent doe-eyed look.
Sienna rolled her eyes, "So that makes it okay? So if your front door was open, you wouldn't mind if someone just barged in?" Elena looked bewildered; huh, it must be new for her for someone not to like her, "N-No-"Sienna cut her off, "So then you have an exception in this town, is that what you're saying?"
At that moment, Stefan walked in, his face staring blankly from Elena, to Sienna and then to a smug Damon who looked to be enjoying the catfight between the two teenagers. "Elena. I didn't know you were coming over," he stated impassively, his eyes never leaving Damon's electric blue ones.
"Yeah well, neither did I, but apparently Elena Gilbert does whatever the hell she wants to in this town," snapped Sienna, glaring daggers at Elena who flinched with the intensity of hate she felt rolling off from the female Salvatore.
"I know. I should have called, I just…"Elena trailed off. She had never really spoken with Sienna Salvatore and her friends; only Caroline from her group of friends hung out with her, and Elena was confused as to why she hated her.
"Oh, don't be silly," Damon cut in. "You're welcome any time, isn't she, Stefan? You know, I should break out the family albums or some home movies. But … I have to warn you. He wasn't always such a looker." Now Sienna was glaring at Damon.
"Thank you for stopping by, Elena. Nice to see you," was all Stefan said, the dismissal clearly evident in his words.
"Yeah, I should probably go," said Elena awkwardly, she then looked back at Damon, flashing him a small smile, "It was nice to meet you, Damon."
"Great meeting you too, Elena," Damon smiled pleasantly at her.
"Get out of my house Gilbert!" Sienna growled. Elena fearfully jumped and went to leave, but Stefan was blocking her exit. It took Elena yelling his name twice for him to move as he hadn't taken his eyes off Damon.
Once she had left, the three Salvatores stared at each other in silence before Damon broke it, "Great gal. Whoo. She's got spunk. You, on the other hand, look pooped. Did you over-exert yourself today? Let me guess … hospital." He sounded a mixture of smug and amused.
"Someone had to clean up your mess," Stefan snapped.
"Woah, hey, what mess? What's going on?" Sienna blurted out, not liking being kept out of the loop.
"Damon didn't compel Vicki to forget about last night. She woke up screaming in the middle of the night and told Matt that a vampire attacked her. I had to go to the hospital and compel her, but it might not work for long since I feed from animals," Stefan explained.
"Huh, cliff notes version," Sienna stated, glaring at Damon who smirked at her.
"How long was Elena here?" Stefan asked concerned.
"Well, I didn't get to talk to her much. Our little niece over here ran her off," Damon looked a tad bit annoyed.
"And it is going to stay that way. Stefan, I already told you before. I. Hate. Elena. Gilbert. So if you're going to date her then make sure she never walks into my house!" Sienna growled, her olive green eyes flashing a jade green.
"Your house?" Damon looked amused. Sienna stared at him unimpressed, "Let me guess …. This is my house only while you let me live in it, am I right? Your threats won't work on me!"
"Hmm," Damon stared at her for a moment, but decided that he'd rather mess with his brother than argue with Sienna. "Were you worried Stefan? Scared we may be doomed to repeat the past? Isn't that why you play your little game, 'I'm a high school human'?"
"I'm not playing a game," Stefan stated, shaking his head to prove his point.
"Of course you are," Damon sounded so sure of himself. "We both know the closest you'll ever get to humanity is when you rip it open and feed on it."
"What kind of game are you playing, Damon?" Stefan snapped angrily.
"Guess you'll have to wait and see won't you," said Damon mysteriously. Sienna shook her head, "You're both crazy-"Sienna's eyes widened and she left the two vampires as she zoomed over to the bathroom downstairs and puked her guts out, "I HATE BEING PREGNANT!"
Sienna spent the whole day at the Boarding house since her stomach was acting up and she couldn't pass an hour without her head down the toilet. While she went to the kitchen that night to munch on some Doritos dipped in peanut butter – yeah, her cravings were weird; she heard Stefan and her Uncle Zach arguing in the living room.
She walked in to hear that their argument was about Damon.
"What is Damon doing here? Why did he come home?" Zach looked frustrated.
Stefan looked defeated, "'Cause I came home. He wants to make my life miserable. That's how he enjoys his."
"Well, he's putting us all at risk. This girl in the hospital could talk," Zach snapped looking worried. Sienna knew that the Founder's council would fry him if they knew he was housing two vampires.
"She won't. I took care of it," Stefan reassured him. "You're sure?" Zach looked skeptical.
Stefan let out a sigh of exasperation, "I'm not sure, Zach. I don't know how well it worked. I'm not as strong as Damon."
"So what happens if it doesn't work?" Zach had to ask that … well, Vicki could go screaming 'vampire' at the top of her lungs in the town square, and if it were any other town, they would have just placed her in a mental institution.
"I don't know. I'll deal with it."
"Is she worth it? Uncle Stefan, this girl you came back for?" NO, NO, NO, NO! She is not worth it at all. When Zach left, Sienna made her presence known; of course Stefan wasn't surprised to see her. Stupid vampire hearing.
"Ya know, I don't think Damon came back to make your life miserable … well not completely," Sienna added with a shrug. Stefan looked at her in puzzlement, "What do you mean?"
Sienna stared at Stefan for a moment, "I think Damon has something up his sleeve. No Stefan, he came back to town for a reason. And whatever it is, it doesn't bode well for us."
It was the next day and Sienna, River, Luna and Caroline where lighting candles for the comet, staring up at the dark, starry sky. Sienna always found star-gazing to be peaceful and it always helped clear her mind off all the worries and woes, especially from recent events.
After they were done, they went to the grill and Caroline separated herself from them for a while to sit with Bonnie until Elena came. The three girls sat in a booth a good distance away and began gossiping about recent events.
"So Elena just barged into your home?" Luna looked scandalized.
"Yup. I know I closed the door behind me, so it must have been Damon who came in after me and forgot to close the door fully, and she just barged in," Sienna scowled drinking her chamomile tea to help calm her down and soothe her stomach cramps.
"Question. Who is Damon?" River looked confused. Sienna gaped at them; she forgot to mention Damon coming to town. "He's my other cousin. Stefan's older brother," Sienna explained. She suddenly froze when she saw Stone locking lips with some redhead by the bar. She swallowed and turned around quickly, not wanting to be seen staring, especially by him.
River and Luna looked at her in pity, and at that moment Caroline joined them now that Bonnie wasn't alone anymore. "I'm so sorry S," Caroline engulfed her in a hug.
Sienna just nodded, tears falling down her eyes, "Damn hormones!"
"I'm going to kill him when I get home," River growled. She loved her brother, but she didn't appreciate how badly he hurt and was still hurting her sister. She confronted him about the whole pregnancy the day Sienna let them in on her secret, and Stone just scoffed calling her a liar. He even went so far as to say that it wasn't his if she wasn't lying because he always used a condom. The idiot wasn't informed that condoms break sometimes. She knew Sienna was deeply in love with her thick-headed brother and would never cheat on him.
"No, Riv, just drop it. He made his feelings clear. He moved on, it's time for me to do so as well," Sienna sniffed, wiping the tears away from her face.
At that moment, little Gilbert began yelling frantically that Vicki was missing, and him and Tyler began having a pissing contest over her.
"She's never going to go for you," snapped Tyler looking smug. Luna groaned, how embarrassing; her brother is arguing about the drugged up whore of Mystic Falls.
"She already did. Over and over and over again," Jeremy rebutted. "Damn, I told you!" Sienna hissed to her three friends who looked equally shocked. Caroline couldn't help but blurt out, "You slept with Vicki Donovan? I mean," she shook her head, her blonde curls bouncing slightly, "Vicki Donovan slept with you?"
"Wow, tone down on the meanness Care," River chuckled. Tyler however, seemed to be in agreement with Caroline's words as he shook his head in denial, "There's no way."
"And I didn't even have to force her into it," Jeremy couldn't help but add that little bit of information as he glared at Tyler. Luna and Matt glared at him and together they snapped, "What the hell is he talking about Ty?"
Tyler kept shifting his gaze from his twin sister to his best friend, "Nothing, just ignore him, he's a punk."
"He's not the only punk," murmured Sienna. Luna looked outraged at her brother; she could always tell when he was lying.
"You know what, how about all of you shut up and help me find my sister?" Matt yelled at everyone. And with those words, everybody split up to look for one, Vicki Donovan. Caroline left with Bonnie, while Luna left with River after ordering her to stay seated for the sake of the baby as too much stress wasn't good for it.
Sienna sat grumbling into her chamomile tea when they all left, mumbling about how she wasn't an invalid and she was only four months pregnant. Looking up she saw that Stone was on the bar with his hand around the redhead's waist and she cursed to herself; great! Now she was left alone with him.
Just as the thought crossed her mind, Stone looked over at her direction, and surprise flitted across his face at seeing her all alone before the prominent sneer he created just for her replaced it. Sienna felt a few tears trickling her face, but she demanded them not to fall; she wasn't about to give her ex-bastard the satisfaction of seeing her cry because of him.
Ten minutes later of drowning in solitude and sorrow, everyone flittered back into the grill. Caroline stayed with Bonnie, while River and Luna sat down in a huff by her side.
"Your cousin, Stefan, found Vicki in a drugged up trance walking around the town square," Luna grumbled. Sienna looked up to see Matt checking on her neck wound, and she flinched at the reminder of what Damon did to her. "Waste of our time."
Stefan came by later asking Bonnie and Caroline for something, and it was at that moment that Stone left the redhead and came over to River, "Come on, Riv. Mom and dad called, they want you home." River grumbled but hugged the girls goodbye, however something happened at that exact moment.
Sienna felt horrible cramps in her womb, almost like someone was stabbing her repeatedly in the stomach and she flinched inwards. As River stood up to leave with Stone, Luna stared wide-eyed at her friend, "S? S, what's wrong … SIENNA?"
Sienna felt herself crumble in her seat, her face screwed up in pain and sweat was falling down her face, "Lu- Luna it hurts," she whimpered, before she screamed and hugged her womb protectively.
Stefan and Caroline rushed forward, and Stefan knelt down to look into Sienna's pain-filled eyes.
"What's happening to her?" River yelled, clutching onto a wide-eyed Stone's hand as though it were a lifeline.
"Stef, take me home, please," whispered Sienna.
"Home, no, you have to go to the hospital!" Caroline shrieked.
"No! No hospital. Stef?" Stefan nodded and carried her into his arms.
"Stefan, my number is in Sienna's phone, call me if there is anything," River pleaded. Stefan nodded and ran out of the grill, leaving behind four worried teenagers.
"You think she'll be okay?" River whimpered. Stone scoffed, "She's faking it," but he didn't look so sure of himself.
"Screw you dude! She's pregnant with your kid; the least you could do is be a tiny bit worried for the baby if you don't care about Sienna anymore!" Luna growled her fists clenched as she glared daggers at him.
"It's. Not. Mine!" Stone snarled through gritted teeth, he turned to face his angry sister, "Come on, let's go home." River gave the two girls an apologetic look as she ran out after her brother.
Luna and Caroline stared unsurely at each other, before Luna sent a text to Tyler. "I'm telling Tyler to let my parents know that I'm sleeping over at Sienna's, you in?" Caroline nodded immediately, sending a text out to her mother, Liz Forbes.
As the two girls entered the car, they didn't notice the shadow of a man dressed all in leather watching them leave, angry that his plans were foiled.
Caroline Forbes didn't know how lucky she was; for if she was leaving home alone, the stranger in the shadows would have invited himself into her home and fed on her.
Things were already changing in the small town of Mystic Falls as the shadow flashed in abnormal speed over to the Salvatore Boarding house and watched a few minutes later as the same car parked by their house, and the blonde and brunette ran out of the car and knocked on the front door.
A/N: So Damon missed his chance in turning Caroline Forbes into his puppet. What do you think is going to happen next, and what else will change?
