"No, no it can't be. Damon?," the woman behind the bar exclaimed as she hopped the counter to greet them.
"My honey pie," she said before grabbing his face and kissing him.
Eliza bit her lip looking away as they kissed to avoid how awkward it was to see her ex kissing this witch.
They all took a seat at the bar when they finally pulled apart and she returned behind the bar to pour drinks.
"Listen up everybody. Here's to the man that broke my heart, crushed my soul, destroyed my life and ruined any and all chances of happiness," she declared as she put the shots in front of the gang.
"So how'd he rope you in?," she asked Elena, she must have known who she looked like.
"He's actually my ex boyfriend," Eliza commented but Bree was more focused on Elena.
"I'm not roped in I'm actually dating,"
"Honey if your not roped, you're whipped, either way just enjoy the ride,"
"Okay, so how did you too meet?,"
"Collage,"
"You went to collage?," Eliza and Elena both said at the same time shocked.
"I've been on a collage campus, yes,"
"About 20 years ago when I was a sweet young freshman I met this beautiful man and I fell in love. And then he told me about his little secret made me love him even more. I had a little secret of my own that I was dying to share with somebody,"
"She's a witch," Damon whispered to Elena.
"You changed my world you know,"
"I rocked your world,"
"I so do not need to know about what you did while I was gone Damon," Eliza shuddered at hearing about his past.
"It's not like you don't have exes too might I add,"
"Yeah but you don't see me telling you about all the details,"
"She's got a point," Jeremy agreed with her.
"He's mostly a walk away Joe. So what is it that you want?," as he and Bree began to discuss business Elena headed outside to call Jenna.
"Hi Jenna I'm so sorry ,"
"Where are you? Why didn't you call?," she asked wondering if she would tell her the truth or lie to her.
"I was so tired last night I fell asleep at Bonnie's, and then this morning I just wanted to get to school,"
"Are you okay?," Jenna asked disappointed that Elena lied to her.
"You know Stefan and stuff," she tried to keep her lies simple not knowing that Jenna knew everything already and she was in trouble when she got home.
Inside Damon and Bree began talking about the tomb.
"Come on there's gotta be another way,"
"After all these years its still about Katherine?,"
"No, not only her. You see that girl there I was engaged to her in 1864 before Katherine killed her and turned her family. She is the girl who is reborn technically she is over a thousand years old. But her parent's from 1864 are in that tomb and I want to give them back to her,"
"Wait over a thousand years old?, oh my god she is the the reborn child we have all heard about in the witches community, and you know her, cherish that it is good to be on her good side considering who she is connected to,"
"How do you know they are still alive?,"
"Well you help me get into that tomb and we'll find out,"
"I already did 20 years ago remember? Three easy steps comet, crystal, spell,"
"There's a little problem with number two I don't have the crystal,"
"That's it Damon. There's no other way it's Emily's spell,"
"What about new spell with a new crystal that overrides Emily's spell?,"
"It doesn't work that way baby. Emily's spell is absolute you can't get into that tomb," that news angered Damon and Eliza noticed so she sent him a small smile that eased him down a bit.
Elena was still outside dealing with her phone Damon noticed as he looked out the window to check on her.
When he noticed her getting upset he flashed outside.
"You okay?,"
"Don't pretend to care, I know you're gloating inside," unknown to them but not to Eliza, Bree saw them outside and took the chance to rush to make a phone call.
"Hey it's Bree you'll never guess who walked into my bar," she said after turning on the blender so Damon wouldn't hear her.
About twenty minutes later the gang all sat at the bar with burgers in front of them enjoying their time out.
"Let's just say I'm descended from Katherine does that make me part vampire?,"
"Vampires can't procreate even though we love to try. No if you were related it would mean Katherine had a child before she was turned,"
"Did Stefan think he could use me to replace her?,"
"Kind of creepy if you ask me. Come on you don't like pickles what's wrong with you?," Damon asked reaching over stealing them off her plate.
He would have done the same to Eliza but she was diving into her burger, pickles and all, and was enjoying it.
"How can you even eat if technically you're suppose to be...,"
"Dead?, It's not such a bad word. As long as I keep a healthy diet of blood in my system my body functions pretty normally,"
"This nice act is any of it real?,"
"Here you go honey," Bree swapped out Damon's empty beer bottle with a new one.
"Thank you,"
"I'll have one too," at that comment Eliza's and Jeremy's heads flicked sideways to look at her in shock.
"Time out remember? For five minutes, Yeah well that five minutes is gonna need a beer,"
"There you go," as she was handed the bottle they all watched as she took her first drink of alcohol.
"Not bad,"
"My god she joins the cool world," Eliza teased.
"Shush you," she laughed as she waved her hand at Eliza.
