Chapter 16: The Pizza Vampire

Sakura had tried calling Leilani, many times. She would have gone home, but if Leilani wasn't returning or answering calls, what were the chances that she'd want her there. With the way things were, she made herself comfortable up at the boarding house again. Hopefully it wasn't a permanent thing, but how long does anger last, when it's directed at the people closest to you. Damon agree to help Sakura with fixing her car. Who knew Damon knew how to fix cars? His super strength came in handy, considering how much work needed to be done! Got to love a guy who's good with his hands!

Sakura laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling when she heard loud noises, as if things were falling off of shelves. Sakura rolled out of bed and followed the sound. "What are you looking for?" Sakura asked Damon, who was making a mess as he looked through their large selection of books.

"Well hello to you too," Damon glanced at Sakura. "Feeling any better yet?" Damon asked, still searching through the books.

"Not really. Are you looking for Emily's Grimoire by chance?" Sakura asked.

Damon appeared in front of Sakura, at vampire speed, "You know where it is?"

"What's going on?" Stefan came up to them.

"I'm off to school, relationships to mend," Sakura walked by Damon, who frowned at her.

"Good luck," Stefan pat her on the back as she walked by.

When Sakura approached the school, there were posters everywhere for the 50's Decade Dance. "Oh great, another dance," Sakura sighed. She looked around outside to see Elena talking with Caroline, that really wasn't who she was looking for. Sakura looked at the front doors to see Bonnie and Leilani walking out of the school.

"Leilani," Sakura whispered to herself.

Sakura started to walk towards them when Bonnie pointed her out to Leilani. To Sakura's surprise, Leilani came running up to her and gave her a big hug. "Where have you been?" Leilani seemed really happy to see her for some reason.

"Um, Georgia and the boarding house," Sakura stated, her mind was going blank. "You're happy to see me?" Sakura asked, completely confused.

"Yeah," Leilani smiled at her.

"I'll let you two talk," Bonnie smiled and walked away.

"I just thought…" Sakura trailed off.

"Thought what?" Leilani asked.

"Well, you never answered any of my calls," Sakura stated.

"Oh, well, I lost my phone…" Leilani twiddled her fingers.

Sakura laughed lightly, "So you're not mad at me?"

"Well, I am. But regardless of what happened, you're family," Leilani smiled. "By the way, you're staying at the boarding house?" Leilani questioned her.

"Yeah, I still have my room there. Next best place to stay," Sakura laughed nervously.

"Okay… It's been kind of lonely in that big house though," Leilani bit her lip. "I know you might have caused the fire, but I've been thinking… First off, we don't know for sure. Secondly, if it was you, it was an accident," Leilani stated. "I can't even imagine what it must have been like, keeping that in. Or what that power is like, being that destructive," Leilani was trying to sympathize with her.

Sakura smiled, "We'll eventually find out. I hope you're ready for the worst, when we do," Sakura stated.

"I'll have to be. It'd be too hard to live without your only family," Leilani smiled.

"Looks like things are back to normal," Elena approached them. "I'm meeting up with Bonnie at the Grill later, you guys should come," Elena said before heading off.

"I can't believe you're adopted," Leilani said to Elena, as they sat together at the Grill with Sakura and Bonnie.

"I never saw that coming," Bonnie stated.

"And it gets weirder. I looked at my birth certificate and it lists Miranda and Grayson Gilbert as my birth parents. None of it makes any sense," Elena stated.

"This is why you should ask Jenna," Bonnie stated. "First of all, the Elena I know would always want the real truth, good or bad," Bonnie said.

"And second of all," Elena took a bite of a French fry.

"You just found out your boyfriend is a vampire," Bonnie whispered the last part, "So unless your birth parents are aliens, how bad could it be?" Bonnie asked.

"Okay, look I have to go to the store, my outfit for the dance is severely lacking in accessories," Elena got up to leave.

"Likewise, plus I have a plan," Leilani laughed evilly and followed Elena out.

"I'll pay for the bill," Bonnie got up and turned around to see Damon. "What do you want from me?" Bonnie asked him.

"I think we need a fresh start," Damon stated. Damon smiled at Bonnie and noticed Sakura sitting at the table, he smiled at her briefly, receiving a questioning stare and turned back to Bonnie.

"You tried to kill me," Bonnie stated.

"But I didn't, and if I wanted to I would of," Sakura rolled her eyes at that statement. "Does that not count for anything?" Damon asked.

"You know I can start fires with my mind," Bonnie stated. Sakura got up and stood behind Bonnie. "Fire kills vampires right?" Bonnie asked, "Just stay the hell away from me!"

"Is everything okay over here?" the bartender came over.

"Yeah, we're fine," Damon stated.

"I wasn't talking to you," he stated.

"Come on Damon, you're outnumbered," Sakura poked him as she walked by. Damon glared at them and followed Sakura out. "What do you want with Bonnie now? She doesn't have the crystal anymore," Sakura stated.

"Witches come in very handy," Damon smirked.

"I bet they do…" Sakura trailed off.

"What's up?" Damon asked as he opened the door to the Grill for Sakura.

"I wonder, if I summon enough power, can I do witches spells too," Sakura pondered.

"Well, that would come in very handy, for me," Damon laughed.

"Yeah I guess so. It's easier to work with someone who doesn't hate you," Sakura laughed, "But you can't blame her, you did try to kill her."

"True," Damon pouted. "By the way, I heard there's a dance coming up at your school," Damon stated.

"And…" Sakura said, knowing there was more to it.

"The 50's were a swinging time," Damon joked.

"You want to go?" Sakura sighed and Damon just smiled at her. "We'll see, based of Leilani's evil laugh earlier, I'm guessing I have a dress anyways. I hate dresses," Sakura sighed.

"Why, you look hot in them," Damon stated, Sakura blushed and looked away.

"No, I don't," Sakura covered her face with her hand. She peeked through her fingers to see Damon smiling at her.

"Yes you do," Damon winked and walked away.

Sakura's phone rang, she picked it up and there was an unfamiliar voice on the other side, "Hello Sakura."

"Hey, who's this?" Sakura asked as she looked around, to see if there was anyone around, outside the Grill.

"You hit me with your car," he stated. Guess it wasn't the other guy after all? "I see you got it fixed," Sakura looked around. "You got away from me," he stated, "You won't next time."

"Try me hoodie boy," Sakura provoked him.

"Well aren't you just a regular spitfire," he said.

"Look, if you want a fight, come and get it. I've been itching for a fist fight," Sakura laughed.

"Hmph don't be too cocky, you're not the only one I'm after," he stated.

"What? Why not? If you come after me first, it'll save me the trouble of tracking your sorry butt down," Sakura mocked him. She heard laughing on the other end, and he hung up the phone. "I was at least half serious," Sakura sighed. If they weren't just after her, who else was there, Elena, Leilani? Sakura knew she had to keep her eyes open now.

Apparently, Elena had gotten a similar call to the one Sakura got. Just minus the back talk and threats to him! After hearing about it, Stefan gave Elena a pocket watch, that worked as a vampire compass. He was hoping it would help her stay away from danger. It was going to be dangerous, but they were planning on going to the 50's dance, in an attempt to act as normal teenagers, as much as they could.

It wasn't too long before the dance and Sakura and Leilani were getting ready to go. Leilani had picked her up a black dress, that went down to her knees, and puffed out slightly at the middle to bottom, with a crimson belt. Leilani chose out a purple dress, that was similar, except with a white belt. She had a crimson hair band for Sakura and a white one for herself. She also picked them booth out high heeled shoes.

Sakura couldn't help but wonder why she was bothering to go, but Leilani always found a way to make her go. If she didn't, who knows what might happen, Leilani had a habit of being very creative. Sakura went into the bathroom to fix up her hair and Leilani headed downstairs and into the kitchen. Something behind her fell, she turned around it see a can of peaches on the floor. Leilani picked it up and looked around. There was no reason for it to fall, so why and how? Leilani set it on the table and looked around suspiciously. She sighed and figured that she was just imagining things. When she turned back, something grabbed her from behind. "Ahh!" Leilani screamed as she was pulled into someone, she closed her eyes tightly and heard a loud thud noise. She opened one eye to see a guy with his fangs bared on the floor, holding his jaw. She turned to where he was and saw Sakura, she had punched him, knocking him to the ground. "Hey, you're the pizza boy," Leilani exclaimed, seeing the vampire on the ground.

"The pizza boy?" Sakura asked Leilani. She looked away for a split second and then heard the front door open. She looked back and the vampire was gone. He ran away with his tail between his legs. "Are you okay Leilani?" Sakura asked.

"Yeah, I was just startled," Leilani stated.

"You really have to be careful about letting people into the house," Sakura stated.

A couple of minutes later Sakura's phone rang. "Hello," Sakura answered.

"Sakura, be careful, that guy tried to attack me," Elena said on the other side.

"Yeah, he already tried it over here," Sakura informed her.

"Oh no! You guys should come over, Stefan's here," Elena stated.

"Alright, we'll be right there," Sakura said before hanging up. "Apparently, he attacked Elena after he was here," Sakura told Leilani, "Let's head over to her house."

"Alright, one moment, I'll go get my purse," Leilani ran upstairs.

Sakura dialed a number into her phone, "Hey Damon, looks like we got trouble. We're all meeting up at Elena's," Sakura quickly told him and hung up.

Leilani came back down only a minute later and they made their way to Elena's. When they got to the door, Damon appeared beside them, as Elena answered. They all went into the living room, Stefan, Elena and Leilani sat down, Sakura stood with her arms crossed at the doorway and Damon was pacing back and forth.

"How'd he get in?" Damon asked.

"He was invited in," Elena replied.

"He posed as a pizza delivery guy last night," Stefan explained.

"Same thing happened at my place," Sakura glared at Leilani slightly, who smiled nervously.

"Well, he gets points for that," Damon smirked. "Did he say what he wanted?" Damon asked.

"No, he was too busy trying to kill me," Elena stated.

"And me," Leilani sighed.

"I thought he would have gone after Sakura," Damon stated.

"Yeah, you think with the mocking and threats, he'd want to kill me more," Sakura pondered, then she noticed the others were staring at her. "What? He's a wuss," Sakura stated, "One right punch and he went flying," Sakura laughed.

"You mocked him?" Leilani asked.

"What? He called trying to threaten me, what did you expect would happen," Sakura said and Damon started to laugh.

"I wouldn't expect anything else," Damon laughed, "Nice job by the way, got rid of him without your powers!"

"Anyways, you have no idea who this is?" Stefan asked them.

"No," Damon shook his head. "Don't look at me like that. I told you we had company," Damon said because Stefan was staring at him.

"You think there's more than one?" Elena asked, worry evident in her voice.

"We don't know," Damon stated.

"With our luck, I'm betting yes," Sakura sighed.

"Damon, he was invited in," Stefan said seriously.

"Time to hunt," Sakura said in a sing song voice.

"She's right, we should get him tonight," Damon agreed.

"Are you up for it?" Damon asked Elena and Leilani.

"What do I have to do?" Elena asked.

"Let your boyfriend take you to the dance, we'll see who shows up," Damon explained.

"That's a bad idea," Stefan disagreed.

"Till we get him, this house isn't safe, for anyone in it. It's worth a shot," Damon said.

"Let's do it," Leilani stated.

"Who are you going with anyways?" Sakura asked her.

"Tyler, and you?" Leilani asked.

Sakura glanced over at Damon, who smiled at her. "Damon really?" Elena didn't seem happy about it.

"Well, who else could handle Sakura's violent mood swings?" Leilani said giggling.

"Hey!" Sakura growled at her, "What violent mood swings?"

"Eep!" Leilani ran out the door, "I've got to wait for Ty," Leilani said, as an excuse to run away.

"I guess she has a point," Elena laughed.

"You too? Really?" Sakura sighed.

Damon walked up to her, "It's not so bad right? By the way, you're looking great tonight." Damon smiled at her.

I hope you enjoyed!
