Chapter 17: The 50's Decade Dance

Elena and Stefan walked into the school dance with arms linked. Beside them, was Sakura and Damon, who were looking through the crowd, to try and find the vampire. Sakura noticed Alaric in the crowd, and he was staring at Damon weirdly, as if he knew him in a bad way. Jenna came up to him and his focus was taken away from Damon.

Leilani met up with Elena, Caroline and Bonnie near the punch bowls. "What's Damon doing here?" Bonnie asked, slightly angry, "Is he with Sakura?" Bonnie noticed that they were staying close to each other as they looked around.

"He wanted to come with Sakura, I promise he'll behave," Elena said and Leilani giggled.

"Like he has a choice with Sakura around," Leilani said, still giggling.

"So what, it's you, Sakura and the Salvatore brothers?" Caroline asked, spitefully.

"If I want to be with Stefan I have to tolerate Damon, it's not like I can kill him. Besides, Sakura makes it easier, tolerating Damon that is," Elena sighed.

"There's a thought," Bonnie said, wanting to kill Damon.

"Hm, I'll help," Caroline insisted and they tapped their cups together.

Starting to get bored, Damon got Sakura's attention, "Want to dance?" Damon smiled.

"Good idea, Stefan, would I have this dance?" Elena turned to Stefan. Stefan smiled and they walked onto the dance floor.

"Well?" Damon asked again.

Sakura smiled nervously, it was a slow song, meaning slow dancing. "Sure," Sakura smiled as she gulped heavily.

Damon offered her his hand, she took it and he led her to the dance floor not too far from Stefan and Elena. She put her hands behind his neck and he held onto her waist, as they swayed back and forth to the music. Damon smiled as he looked down at her, she blushed and looked away. "This is nice," Damon said honestly.

Sakura looked back up at him and closed her eyes as she smiled up at him, "Yeah, it is." Damon started to lean in, when Sakura backed off, "He's here."

"What? Are you sure? How can you tell?" Damon asked.

"I can sense him, creepy feeling too," Sakura shivered.

Damon rubbed her arms, hoping to warm her up. "You've been holding back on me, what other powers do you have?" Damon asked her.

"Even I don't really know," Sakura laughed lightly, "I think they're still developing though, I always have more headaches at those points."

He kissed the top of her head, "Try not to over think things." The music changed, to something faster pace. "Woo," Damon seemed excited, he grabbed Sakura's hand and spun her around, making her giggle. They started dancing, with a fast pace swing style, obviously having a lot of fun. Leilani was on the dance floor with Tyler, and smiled as she watched Sakura. "Do the twist," Damon and Sakura changed dancing styles, and seemed to be in sync. "Boy, I love the 50's," Damon smiled.

"Alright, break time," Sakura led him off the dance floor, when the song finished, to get a drink.

While waiting, Alaric came up to Damon. "Hey, I don't recognize you. How'd you get roped into chaperoning?" he asked, receiving a questioning glare from Damon. "I'm Alaric Saltzman, the new history teacher," they shook hands.

"Oh, the cursed faculty position," Damon looked into the crowd.

"So, I've been told," Alaric smirked.

"Damon Salvatore," he introduced himself.

"Salvatore? As in Stefan?" Alaric asked.

"That's my little brother," Damon said nonchalantly. "I'm his legal guardian," Damon explained. "But I'm here with my date, not chaperoning," Damon smiled.

"I hear he's very bright, not that I've had a chance to see for myself," Alaric said.

"Well, his attendance record's a little spotty, family drama," Damon explained. Sakura looked over at them, after getting a drink, and wondered what Alaric wanted with him, but waited instead of approaching.

"No parents?" Alaric pried.

"It's just the two of us now," Damon was getting tired of the questions.

"You live here you're whole life?" Alaric kept going.

"On and off," Damon apparently, still didn't think Alaric's questions to be odd. "Travel a bit," Damon sighed.

"Really, where?" Alaric asked. "Around the states?" he added.

Since it seemed to be getting to be too much, Sakura interrupted. "Sorry for the wait," Sakura came up beside Damon. "Hey Ric," Sakura smiled at him.

"Ah, so you're his date to the dance," Alaric didn't seem too happy about it. "Anyways, sorry for being nosey, enjoy the rest of the dance," he walked away.

"That was weird," Sakura said.

"I'd say," Damon glared at Alaric.

"Do you know him?" Sakura asked.

"Not that I remember," Damon stated.

"Even if he tries something, don't kill him. He's actually a cool history teacher," Sakura stated.

Damon put his hands up in defense, "I have no reason to yet. Anyways, back to the dance floor." He took her hand and led her back, the 'Great Balls of Fire' song came on, "Let me show you how they did it in the 50's," Damon lifted her, swinging her to both sides. Sakura stopped and backed off holding her head. "What's wrong?" Damon clasped her head in his hands.

"He's in the halls somewhere," Sakura stated looking up at him. "But he's not the only other vampire here," Sakura stated.

"Damn it," Damon put his hand on Sakura's waist and led her off the dance floor, as she held onto her head.

"Go talk with Stefan," Sakura told him.

"Right, stay here," Damon commanded.

Sakura's phone rang, "What?" Sakura growled.

"Here's what you're going to do, see the exit, head there," it was that creepy vampire.

"Why should I?" Sakura rolled her eyes, why wouldn't they headache go away.

"Do it, or else I'll snap Leilani's neck," he threatened, "I doubt anyone would see me."

Sakura used the exit and walked down the hall, when she saw Elena come running. Elena ran into Sakura and pulled her along with her, "You too?" Sakura asked, finding it hard to concentrate.

"We have to run," Elena dragged her to a door locked with chains. Finding it wouldn't open, she dragged her into the cafeteria and tried a couple of the doors. The back door burst open, and the vampire came walking in, with an evil look on his face. Suddenly, he was in front of Elena, she tried to run, but he caught her, by her hair. Sakura turned around and kneed him in the gut, followed by and uppercut. He let go of Elena and fell over. Sakura fell back slightly, and tried to come up with a plan. Sakura grabbed some pencils off the table and stabbed him in the chest, when he tried to bite her, then she stabbed him in the hand while Elena found a mop to break. Elena tried to stake him with the broken mop, but he caught it, and smiled at her. He was going to bite Elena, when Sakura tackle him to the ground.

"Umbra Ferrum," Sakura summoned her sword, glad that it even appeared, as she was on top of him. She thrust the sword down, but he caught it and tossed it away. He grabbed her neck, choking her as he got to stand up. "Duo," another sword appeared him her hand and she stabbed him, missing his heart. He dropped her, and she started coughing. He pulled the sword out of his chest and threw it aside. He bared his fangs and went to bite down on Sakura, when Stefan pushed him aside, overtop of one of the tables.

"Hey dickhead," Damon showed up with a pieces of wood, "Nobody wants to kill you, we just want to talk," Damon held his hands up in defence.

The vampire smiled at him and ran towards Stefan and the girls. Damon threw the stake to Stefan, who stabbed him in the gut.

"Now you feel like talking?" Stefan asked, looking down at the vampire on his knees.

"Screw you," he replied.

"Wrong answer," Stefan pressed the stake in more.

Damon helped Sakura up and turned his attention to the vampire. Sakura checked on Elena, to make sure she was okay.

"Why are you doing this?" Stefan asked.

"Because it's fun," the vampire laughed and Stefan pushed the stake in even more.

"What do you want with them?" Stefan asked, referring to the girls.

"She looks like Katherine. And she's, well I don't know what she is," he laughed.

"You knew Katherine?" Damon asked, surprised.

"Oh, you thought you were the only ones? You don't even remember me," he smirked.

"Tell me how to get into the tomb," Damon demanded.

Sakura was starting to feel light headed, she took a few steps back and leant on the wall, breathing heavier than normal.

"No," he said and Stefan pushed on the stake again, he screamed out in pain. "The grimoire," he said.

"Where is it?" Damon asked.

Stefan pushed the stake in again, "Check the journal. Use Jonathon Gilberts Journal," he spat.

"Who else is working with you?" Stefan asked. Damon backed away from the vampire, with a scowl on his face.

"Who else is there?" Damon asked.

"No, you're going to have to kill me," he said, not wanting to give up his partner.

Stefan ripped the stake out and stabbed him in the heart, killing him. "How are you going to find the others now?" Elena asked, very panicked.

"He had to die," Damon stated.

"But…" Elena trailed off.

"Elena, he's been invited in," Stefan stated, agreeing with Damon.

Alaric was looking through one of the doors. "Go, I've got this," Stefan said, referring to the body.

Damon rushed out of the room, after Alaric.

Sakura slid to the floor, quietly, holding onto her head in pain.

"Sakura?" Damon came back into the cafeteria.

Stefan and Elena turned around, to see Sakura sitting on the floor, holding her head. "Sakura?" Elena bent down beside her, she put her hand out and something sparked. "Ow," Elena brought her hand away.

"Sorry," Sakura mumbled, "Can't control it right now."

"Sakura," Damon knelt down beside her. "Are you okay?" he asked, looking at her.

He put his hand out, "Don't!" Sakura commanded. "It might hurt you too," Sakura sighed.

"Well you can't stay here," Damon stated.

"I'll just wait for it to stop. Either that, or I'll somehow end up burning the school down," Sakura sighed, confusing the others. "If that does happen, make sure it's known that it was an accident," Sakura glanced up at them.

"Sakura…" Elena didn't know what to say.

Damon lifted her, bridal style, and started to get shocked by her powers. He barely flinched as he started to walk. "What are you doing?" Sakura exasperated.

"We can't leave you here," Damon smiled awkwardly, as her powers kept at it.

"Sakura," Elena reached her hand out.

"Don't," Stefan sighed, "Just let Damon take her home, he can handle it, I just hope she can handle whatever it is," Stefan watched as Damon walked away.

Damon brought Sakura home, he walked up her porch and to her front door. "Keys?" he asked.

Sakura sighed and pointed her finger at the lock, the door burst open and hit the wall, bouncing off of it slightly. "Easier to do that, at the moment," Sakura seemed barely conscious.

"Whatever you say," Damon walked in, closing the door behind him, with his foot. He walked upstairs and into her bedroom. He set her down and got up to leave, when he felt a pull on his sleeve. "Something wrong?" Damon asked her.

"Can you stay around, as long as you're not busy?" Sakura asked Damon. Damon raised an eyebrow questioningly. "It's not like that," Sakura whined a little. "I'm just worried, that with my powers like this, I might burn the house down, again," Sakura sighed and let go of his sleeve.

Damon closed her bedroom door and left his jacket hanging on her desk chair. He laid down on Sakura's bed, beside her, with one arm behind his head.

"Thanks," Sakura said weakly, before she started to doze off.

Damon looked down at her with worry, as he could still see black energy sparks coming from her. Sakura was laying on her side, slightly curled up, but only slightly and he could see that she was in main on her face. He saw her hand laying out, open. Damon reached over, with his other hand, and gripped hers tightly, trying to provide some comfort. She had already passed out, but her hand gripped his tightly anyways. "Sakura," Damon sighed and kissed her forehead.
