Chapter 40: Oh Snap!

"Wakey, wakey!" Damon belly flopped onto Sakura's bed.

She shot up from the impact instantly. "Ugh, what was that?" Sakura looked down at him. He was still laying on her stomach, where he landed.

"You were sleeping like a log, had to wake you somehow," he said with a big smile on his face.

"And your first instinct is to jump on me?" Sakura questioned him.

"Yes," he said simply.

"Okay... So why did I need to be up already?" Sakura laid back down and he sat up.

"Stefan brought back John Gilbert," Damon frowned, "He knew about the sacrifice, Isobel told him. He said he knew of a way to keep Elena safe."

"And that way would be?" she inquired.

"He didn't say," Damon sighed.

"Typical John," Sakura rolled her eyes, "As if we didn't have enough problems, throw John into the mix."

"Exactly!" Damon seemed oddly excited, "That's exactly what I told Stefan."

"I have a feeling there's a little more to it?" Sakura asked him.

"You know me so well," he smiled, "We're headed to see John!" He grabbed Sakura's hand and dragged her out of bed.

"Why do you need me for this?" Sakura inquired.

"Company? Backup? I want you there?" he said nonchalantly.

As soon as Elena answered the door Damon was looking around behind her, "Where's John?"

"He's not here, he left. I don't know where he went. He just blew in, announced to Jenna that he's my dad and then took off," Elena crossed her arms, obviously upset.

"It's public knowledge now?" Damon asked.

"Yeah..." Leilani came up to them and sighed.

"Are you okay?" Sakura stepped up beside Damon and asked Elena.

"Yeah. Jenna's head is spinning but I'm okay," Elena sighed.

"Did he say what he was doing here?" Damon asked.

"No. Stefan thinks that he's telling the truth about wanting to help me though," Elena bit her lip.

"Don't trust him," Sakura warned.

"I don't," Elena assured her.

"What are we gonna do?" Leilani asked.

"Kill him," Damon suggested.

"Damon..." Elena said threatening.

"I'm joking. Okay, I'm a little serious," Damon smirked.

"Damon!" Leilani exclaimed.

"Well..." Sakura trailed off.

"Sakura!" Elena was flabbergasted.

"What? He is just so... Annoying," Sakura grumbled.

"I'm not gonna hurt him, guys. I'm the good guy now, remember?" Damon smiled convincingly.

"What does that mean?" Elena eyed him suspiciously.

"I'm going to have a civil conversation with your father," he smiled a little too much.

"Just not alone," Sakura added. Damon and Sakura left, with Elena and Leilani following close behind.

The got into Damon's car and he turned to Sakura. "Where to oh wise one?" he smiled. Sakura rolled her eyes and pulled out a narrow piece of paper and a pencil. She started to write on it in another language, "What is that?"

"It's a new, less taxing method. No more tracking with energy sapping, not sure it'll work though," Sakura put the paper on the window beside her and a picture appeared. "The grill," Sakura smiled.

"That's new," Damon said as he drove off.

"We just need answers. Please don't do anything stupid," Elena begged him as they headed towards John at the grill, who was sitting with Jenna and Alaric.

"Yeah but stupid is so much more fun," Damon smirked.

"Stop smiling like that," Sakura poked him. "No big scenes for now," Sakura assured Elena.

"Well he's looking at us standing around talking, how about we just do what we came to do," Leilani suggested.

"John, buddy, how have you been?" Damon walked up to him.

"I've been alright, Damon. It's good to see you. You as well Sakura, sticking with Damon still I see," John fake smiled.

John got up and left the table to light a candle for recent victims. "So John, rumor has it that you know a lot and won't say anything," Damon walked up beside him with Sakura close by.

"How do I know you can be trusted, Damon? Originals can compel vampires and according to Stefan, that's why Katherine's still in the tomb, because an original has compel her to stay there," John argued.

"Only because all of the vervain has left her system. Stefan and I on the other hand are chock full it," Damon smirked. "And Sakura tends to have an eye on me," Damon smirked.

John glanced around Damon to see Sakura leaning against the wall nearby. "You guys are drinking vervain?" John seemed baffled, "She really does keep an eye on you hm?"

"Yes indeedy," Damon smiled and gave Sakura a quick wink. "And the vervain, it's an acquired taste. I don't see that magic little ring on that stitched finger, so if you know something about Klaus, you better start talking or I will kill you in your sleep," Damon whispered getting closer to him.

"Is that any way to convince me that you and I are on the same side? First, I need to know that I can trust you, Damon, that I can count on you. Then we'll talk," John walked away from him.

Leilani walked up to Sakura, "I'm worried about Care, she isn't responding to my texts like normal. I'm going to go check on her, okay?"

"Okay, be careful. Call me if anything happens, or if you need me," Sakura half smiled, worry crossing her mind.

"Come on I need a drink," Damon dragged Sakura to the bar. "You on the other hand, shouldn't have this stuff," Damon ordered his drink.

Jenna came up to Damon at the bar, "So, my friend wants to meet you. Damon Salvatore, this is…"

"I know you. The news lady," Damon interrupted her.

"Yeah, Andie Star. Nice to meet you. Can I buy you a drink, Damon?" she asked.

Damon looked over at Sakura who was leaning her back against the bar and staring off into space. He looked back at Andie and Jenna, "My glass is all full, Andie. Thank you."

Jenna frowned at them and walked away. "You totally blew her off," Elena came up to Damon.

"Of course," Damon glanced at Sakura.

"Right..." Elena trailed off.

Sakura glared at her and got off her seat, "Really?"

"Let it go," Damon grabbed her wrist to pull her away from Elena.

Elena's phone rang, "Stefan? What is it?" Elena turned away to talk with him. Only a moment later she came back and dragged Sakura and Damon off to the side. She explained that Tyler knew about them being vampires now and that Caroline was kidnapped.

"But Leilani went looking for her," Sakura practically growled.

"Why am I just finding out about this now?" Damon asked referring to Tyler.

"Stefan was worried that you…" Elena trailed off.

"That I'll what? That I'd kill him? Of course, it's what needs to happen," Damon frowned down at her.

"No Damon, not Tyler. Do whatever you need to do to get Caroline back but just leave Tyler out of it, okay?" Elena begged.

"Why? He's a werewolf, he needs to die. I'm willing to kill him, it's win-win," Damon seemed set in his ways.

"Damon please, okay? Too many people are dead," Elena begged him and touched his arm.

"You need to stop doing that," Damon frowned.

"Doing what?" Elena seemed clueless.

"Assuming that I'll play the good guy because it's you who's asking," Damon was almost shouting.

Elena looked like she wanted to cry, she backed away from Damon and turned to Sakura, who was keeping out of the conversation. "Sakura..." she begged her.

"If we keep Tyler, maybe we can have a wolf on our side," Sakura suggested.

Damon looked over at her gritting his teeth, "Dammit Sakura." John walked in on them talking, "Do you mind?"

"What's going on?" John asked.

"Nothing," Elena answered quickly.

"It doesn't look like nothing," he looked at each of them suspiciously.

"Well guess what John, trust works both ways. Get out," Damon pointed away from them.

"Look, we don't have time for this. We need to get Caroline back," Elena said urgently, "And find Leilani."

"We don't have to do anything. I'll take care of it," Damon stated firmly.

"Ahem, we will. I'm not letting you go alone," Sakura interrupted.

Damon turned to John, "First dad duty: ground your daughter. Keep her here." Damon put his arm around Sakura's shoulder and glared at John as he walked by with her.

"I'm coming with you," Elena tried to get past John.

"No, no, no, no, no. I'm with Damon on this one. No, stop, stop. You're not going anywhere. Just tell me what's going on," John kept hold of her, stopping her from leaving.

"We need to hurry and catch up to Stefan," Damon picked up Sakura, "Faster this way." He ran up in the woods, closing in on the others, "They're already here."

"Tyler is free to make his own decisions as soon as you release Caroline and Leilani," they heard Stefan as they walked up.

"My brother the peacemaker. Since Stefan got here before me, I'm going to let him try to his way before I resort to my way, which is a little bloodier, so give them to us," Damon walked up to them with Sakura just out of sight. Sakura glanced around the surrounding area, trying to see who was around. She felt a pulse then got nervous, there were a lot of people around. Worse even, a lot of werewolves.

"Let go of Tyler," Jules demanded.

"Give us Caroline. Without a full moon it's not an even fight and you know it. We will take you," Damon seemed sure of himself.

"We're surrounded," Sakura whispered, knowing Damon was keeping an ear out for her.

"I'm not so sure about that, tough guy," Jules whistled and people started appearing with crossbows, fire and stakes.

"Umbra Ferrum, Duo," Sakura summoned her swords.

"Let's try this again. Give us Tyler," Jules commanded.

Damon looked at Tyler, "You heard her. Go. Get over there."

"Which one of you killed Mason?" one that seemed close with Jules asked.

"Uh, that'd be me," Damon admitted.

"Boys, make sure that one suffers," he pointed at Damon.

Damon looked over as Stefan, and nudged his head towards Sakura, "We can take them."

"I don't know about that," Stefan grumbled.

"I'm here Stefan," Sakura whispered.

"Well then…" as soon as Damon said that a head rolled in front of them and the body dropped down.

"All or nothing," Sakura said covered in blood. Everyone stopped at looked at her in surprise, even Stefan and Damon.

Taking his shot, Damon rushed up to Jules. She jumped on top of the SUV behind her, where Tyler had gone inside. One tried to burn Stefan with a torch, Stefan grabbed him and burned two werewolves instead.

A bunch of them tried to rush Sakura, she ran through a tree and surprised them. She stabbed straight threw the tree into one of the werewolves, killing him instantly. She pulled her sword out and threw it at the one that came around the tree at her. A couple more stepped over him, trying to rush her. Instead of running away, she charged towards them. The one behind them tried to shoot her with the crossbow, she brought up her sword and easily deflected it. The werewolf in the front lunged at her, she jumped up and did a front flip overtop of him, on her way down she stabbed her sword into his back. Immediately, she pulled it out and slashed towards the one that was behind him. She cut him, but he grabbed her arm and threw her back into a tree. She growled as she got up and saw that she lost her sword. He charged towards her, she took a defensive stance, and concentrated energy into her right hand. Right went he would of attacked, she brought her hand forwards and shot through him, leaving a giant hole.

She picked up her sword and rushed back to where Damon and Stefan were. She saw Damon rip the heart out of a werewolf. Another werewolf was lunged at him from behind. "Watch out!" Sakura yelled and threw her sword at him. She hit it in the neck, it dropped on top of him twitching. Damon pushed it off of him and looked over at the overly bloody Sakura.

Stefan killed a werewolf and another shot an arrow at him. He caught it and threw it at it's neck. A werewolf behind him drove a stake into his back. Stefan fell to the ground.

Damon was fighting with Jules's friend, Jules showed up and shot him with a wooden bullet. Damon dropped to the floor. "Damon! Stefan!" Sakura growled as she glanced over at them on the ground. Seeing that, something in Sakura snapped. With bloodlust in her eyes and her head hung slightly low, Sakura rushed up to the one that stabbed Stefan in the back and ripped his heart out with her bare hands. She turned to the Jules, ready to pounce.

"What's happening?" Caroline asked, having been freed by Tyler. Jules caught her and put a gun to Tyler's head.

"What the hell is going on?" Tyler asked.

"Sakura?" Caroline saw her walking towards them and horror struck when she saw the condition Sakura was in, "Oh my god."

Jules turned to her, frightened. "Kill," Sakura whispered.

Suddenly the werewolves started dropping, seemingly falling asleep. "Elijah made a promise to Elena. I'm here to see it's up held. You need to go. Get out of here. Now," Jonas, Elijah's witch put them to sleep.

"Sakura!" Damon rushed up to her, "Sakura?" She didn't seem to respond to him, he grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her.

Stefan came up beside him, "What happened?"

"She's snapped?" Damon looked at Stefan baffled. "Sakura!" he pulled her into a hug.

"Damon? Where's Leilani?" Sakura snapped out of it, right before passing out. Damon picked her up, "I'm going to..."

"Go on ahead, I'll help Caroline," Stefan assured him.

"When your friends are waken, give them a message: They need to get the hell out of this town," Jonas told Tyler.

Damon laid her down on her bed at the boarding house. He got out some towels, along with a bowl of water and started to wipe the blood off of her. "Glad none of this is yours," Damon started washing her arms and noticed that the tattoo changes, "How many did you kill..." He counted out the symbols around the wolf tattoo, "You had what, two before? At nine now, took out seven of them?" Damon whistled, "Damn girl, should have left some for us."

"Are you kidding, I was too busy saving your butts," he looked up to see her awake.

"You know we don't know how many people you can kill before the Fenrir takes over, right? That tattoo has almost a full circle around it," Damon frowned. They both went silent as he continued. "You scared me out there. It was like you went into zombie mode," Damon stated.

"I snapped, seeing you and Stefan down like that," Sakura gritted her teeth.

"You really shouldn't have killed that many," Damon seemed sad.

"That's rich coming from you," Sakura glared at him.

"I know, but you're on a limit," Damon pointed out.

"Leilani?" Sakura asked.

"She's fine, apparently got lost trying to find Caroline," Damon stated.

"John is coming, might as well answer the door," Damon gave Sakura a curious look then heard the bell ring.

"I'll be back in a few minutes," Damon left.

Sakura groaned as she tried to sit up. Pain spiked through her back, she cringed and gripped onto the blanket, trying to avoid screaming. "A shower should help, but how do I make it over there..." Sakura sighed and gazed at the bathroom door. She braced herself and stood up, "A lot harder then it seems..."

"I didn't think you were really injured," Damon came back into her room, "I sent Leilani away for a slumber party with the other girls at Caroline's." Damon walked up to her and lifted the back of her shirt, she twitched and he smirked, "Just checking the injury, although, this really shouldn't make you jumpy with me." He saw large amounts of bruising and shook his head. "Easy way," Damon bit his wrist, "Drink up."

"Thanks, for everything," Sakura smiled at him weakly.

"Guess I should also thank you, really slimmed down the pact," he laughed.

"Did they see me?" she turned to him.

"Caroline, Tyler and Stefan, yeah. Elena and Leilani, no," Damon replied. Sakura nodded and bit her lip, "It wasn't that bad, all that blood, looked delicious to me!" Sakura started laughing, "Lame vampire joke, but at the same time true!" Sakura pulled her into a hug.
