Chapter Two: The Salvatore Brothers
Damon looked at Buffy and said, "You don't have the strength to kill me."
"Wanna bet?" Buffy asked.
Damon whispered into Vicki's ear and she calmed down. Both Stefan and Buffy looked at her, worried. Stefan turned to Vicki and asked,
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah man, I'm fine." Vicki said.
Damon pointed at her. "See? She's fine."
Vicki walked away and exited the roof. Buffy gripped her stake and kept an eye on Damon. Stefan walked over to Buffy and said, "You can put that away now. He's not going to hurt you."
"Might hurt you." Damon said.
"No, you won't." Stefan said and looked at Buffy. "Well, put the stake away!"
Buffy rolled her eyes and put the stake away. "What's his name?"
"Damon." Stefan said.
Damon walked over to Buffy and got closer to her. He touched her hair and Buffy whacked Damon's hand away. "Don't touch me." She said, "I can still kill you."
"No you won't." Damon said and chuckled.
"I've killed vampires before." Buffy said and gritted her teeth. "I have no problem adding you to the list."
"Yes, but I am guessing that those vampires were not like us." Damon pointed out. "It's a lot harder to kill us sweetheart."
"Who are you guys?" Buffy asked.
Damon pointed at his brother. "Who are we?" He pointed back and forth. "We're the Salvatore brothers."
"Damon, don't you dare hurt her." Stefan said and clenched his fists.
Damon put his hands up in defense. "Simmer down Stef." He said, "I won't go near her." Damon paused. "But she does need to go."
"No, you need to go." Stefan demanded. "I won't have people die here."
"Neither will I." Buffy said.
Damon chuckled. "Will you two please calm down?" He asked. "I'm not going to hurt anyone. I'm staying, end of discussion."
"What are you up to Damon?" Stefan asked.
"That's for me to know and for you to dot dot dot." Damon said. "Give Elena my best."
Damon left the rooftop. Buffy turned to Stefan and asked, "Who's Elena?"
"My girlfriend." Stefan replied. "We should get going."
"Okay." Buffy said.
Stefan took a hold of Buffy and helped her off the roof with his powers. "Whoa," Buffy said when she stood on the ground. "Dizzy."
Stefan smiled. "I think we can be friends." He said and let go of her. "What do you think, Slayer?"
Buffy smirked. "I don't make friends with vampires."
"Do you tolerate vampires?" Stefan asked and put his hands up in defense. "I don't eat people. I live off of animals."
"Oh so you're a vegetarian?" Buffy grinned.
"Kind of, but I really think we can make this work." Stefan said. "You can help me with my brother and keep him in line."
"I was trying to get away from vampires." Buffy said and sighed. "I'm not staying long."
"Maybe that'll change." Stefan said. "Think about it."
Buffy nodded and watched him leave. She walked back to her bed and breakfast. She was exhausted. Buffy changed into comfier clothes and crawled under the covers. Buffy closed her eyes and went to sleep. She had weird dreams and none of it made sense. When she awoke the next morning, she stretched her arms. Buffy got out of bed and did her morning routine. Then she gave Giles a call.
"Hello?" Giles picked up.
"Giles, it's me. Did you guys make it safely to Cleveland?" Buffy asked.
"Yes, we did." Giles said. "How are things in Mystic Falls?"
"There's more vampires here Giles," Buffy said. "I thought I was here to get a break from all of this."
"Oh Buffy, vampires are everywhere. You know that." Giles said. "What are they like?"
"I don't know, I haven't investigated them that much." Buffy told him. "I'll find out more when I can and keep you posted. How's Dawn?"
"She's doing good," Giles said. "She may turn into a fine Watcher one day."
"Oh?" Buffy asked. "I didn't know she was that serious about becoming one."
"She's good with research and learning many languages to help out." Giles explained. "Let me know if you need help over there and I'll send her over."
"That sounds like a good plan." Buffy said. "How are the other Slayers?"
"They're all good Buffy, really," Giles said. "It's amazing that we made it out alive with this many Slayers. They are all training now with Faith."
"Good, how's Willow?" Buffy asked.
"She's good," Giles said. "She and Kennedy went out the other night."
"Oh good, I'm glad." Buffy said. "Well, I am going to do more investigating. I met a really interesting vampire named Stefan. I would like to get to know him more."
"Just be careful Buffy, you have no idea how strong those vampires may be." Giles cautioned her.
"I will. Good bye." Buffy said and hung up the call.
She put her cellphone in her pocket and got breakfast downstairs. After her meal, Buffy walked around town more. To her surprise, she found Damon. He grinned at her and followed her.
"Hello little Slayer." Damon said.
"How are you here?" Buffy asked, confused. "It's daylight. You shouldn't be here."
Damon showed her his ring. "I have a daylight ring. Witches put a spell on it so I can walk in the son." He paused. "What are you up to?
"Just taking a walk." Buffy said flatly. "Are you going to murder someone?"
"Ouch, such a harsh word." Damon said and smirked. "I don't know. You'll have to stick around to find out."
"You're not going to kill anyone while I'm here." Buffy said and gritted her teeth.
"Did my baby bro send you here to babysit me?" Damon asked. "Because now I'm kinda curious."
"No, I just decided that I needed a break." Buffy said.
"Well, I gotta go. It was nice to see you again Buffy." Damon said.
Buffy rolled her eyes. "Try not to kill anyone."
Damon chuckled and walked away. Buffy sighed heavily. She had no idea what she was getting into. Buffy walked into the Mystic Grill again and ordered a salad. She had her lunch by herself. She definitely needed some company. Perhaps she would call Giles back for Dawn after all.
At the high school, Stefan joined the football team. He worked on his moves and then school was over. Elena had invited him over for dinner with Bonnie. The dinner went well when the doorbell rang and it was Damon. He was with Caroline. Stefan's eyes widened.
"What are you doing here?" Stefan asked.
"Waiting for Elena to invite me in." Damon said.
There was an argument, but Elena decided it was fine for him to enter. Stefan wished that he had gotten Buffy's information. He was trying to protect Elena. Now, he found a way into the house. He used Caroline. Stefan watched Damon like a hawk. He was being awkward and talking about Katherine. Stefan looked at his phone. He wanted dessert to be over with. Stefan was worried. How was he going to protect Elena?
Buffy overheard talking about the football game at the high school. People were excited. She asked around and found where the high school was located. She hadn't been to a football game in a long time. She decided to give it a chance. As she walked over there, she saw Stefan and Damon. They were talking. She overheard the conversation. Then a man walked up to them and shouted,
"Salvatore! What the hell?! We have a game to play!"
"If that's my humanity," Damon said. "Then what is this?"
He vamp sped to the man and bit into his neck. Buffy's eyes widened and she attacked Damon. She ripped him off the man and threw him against a wall. Damon stood up fast and cracked his neck. He licked the blood off his lips. Buffy pulled out her stake.
"I told you not to kill anyone!" Buffy yelled.
"You're beginning to be a real buzz kill little Miss Slayer." Damon said. "I wouldn't do that again."
Stefan ran over to the man and said, "Mr. Tanner, are you still there?" he tapped his face with his hand. There was no response. Mr. Tanner was dead.
"Is he okay?" Buffy asked Stefan.
"No, there's nothing." Stefan said. "He's dead."
Damon lunged after Buffy and pinned her to the ground. "You don't belong here." He growled. "Go back home."
Buffy used all her strength and shoved him off of her. She sent him flying. Damon vamp sped out of the area and went back to his house. Buffy walked over to Stefan and knelt down.
"Are you sure he's gone?" Buffy asked.
"No pulse." Stefan said. "Damon killed him." He stood up and turned to her. "We need you here."
Buffy sighed heavily. "What are we going to do with him?" She asked.
"I have an idea, but we have to leave now." Stefan said.
He took Buffy's hand and used his vampire speed to get them away from the crime scene. Matt was walking around when found Mr. Tanner's body.
"Somebody help!" Matt said and called for help.
Stefan looked at Buffy. "They'll call it an animal attack. You should get back to your hotel. I need to check on Elena."
Stefan comforted Elena and then went home. He wrote in his journal. His hope for his brother was gone. Buffy went back to her bed and breakfast and showered. It had been a long day. She turned off the lights and went to bed.
