Jenna, the morning after explaining everything to Bonnie, had gotten a text from Damon who had following Logan Fell, 'He's a vamp,' was all it said. Jenna found some humor that he had been hunting vampires to kill them and now he is one.
Jeremy shrugged slightly while nodding his head, he could see the humor his aunt had.
Elena came down as Jenna deleted the message and was grabbing her bag, "Jeremy's got his sketch pad out," she said.
"I love your drawings," Alex said to Jeremy who blushed, muttering a 'thanks'.
"You're kidding?"
"Nope. But don't say a word. The minute we encourage him, he'll put it away."
"Psychology major. Check that!"
Elena picked up her phone and checked it, "You and Stefan? Update?"
"He knows how I feel and where I stand and I know where he stands but it doesn't matter. He's leaving, moving away," Elena answered her aunt. Jenna held in a groan, as soon as Damon had made an Edward and Bella reference, she couldn't help but see it. Everyone did, this New Moon repeated, multiple times. Stefan would be back, or he's just not leaving.
Stefan sputtered. "Oh, he can't even deny it this time," Silas muttered to Amara.
"Where's he going?" Jenna asked, betting Elena did not know.
"I've stopped asking questions. The answers get scary,"
The two of them walk out the door and Jenna said, "Yours leaves, mine returns."
"Logan?"
"He's back," and a vampire, "I didn't let him pass the front door."
"I hope you slammed it in his face,"
"Ah, medium slam."
"Would be better if a stake could project out of my door when I slam it shut," Jenna said. Alaric suddenly had ideas.
"Three-strike rule, Jenna. You're not even allowed to watch the news."
"Exactly. No more Logan "Scum" fell."
At the Salvatore House Stefan found Damon in the parlor room, "So any ideas of where you'll go?"
"I'm not leaving," Damon said from his spot by the window.
"Why not?"
"Because it's none of your business, I don't want you involved in what I am doing and you will not like me if you interfere with the reason I am staying," was Damon said before they were just standing in the room in silence. The doorbell rang and Stefan went and answered the door to see Liz Forbes, Stefan had an idea, "I'm here to see Damon," Liz said.
"Oh is it about Calista, I mean those two seem to be together," Stefan said in fake suspicion.
Calista didn't call for anyone, she just snapped her fingers and down went Stefan with a broken neck. Both Vlad and Margot had to stop Ingrid from bashing Stefan's face in as it would take longer to heal and they want him to see how much he was screwed.
Damon gave him a glare and Liz spoke up, "I know those two are together and they have gone out together but they are not making it official until she is of age," Liz bluntly stated. Stefan's eyes widened realizing his plan did not work. "Sheriff. What a surprise," Damon finally came to the door.
"Sorry to bother you, but we need to talk," they went to the back of the house to talk and Stefan listened in on the conversation about the new vampire that has surfaced, although he didn't know Damon already knew who it was.
Elena and Bonnie watched Caroline and Matt talk while Calista walked off with Alex, "She needs someone nice like him, as opposed to a homicidal vampire like Damon," Bonnie said. "Yeah, how are you doing with all that?" Elena asked.
"I'm freaked out. Damon attacked me. I could be dead right now. But I'm also grateful," Bonnie lied. "Hmm?" Elena inquired.
"To Stefan. He saved my life..." Bonnie struggled out, "Have you seen him?"
"Wow, that must've been a struggle," Kol said in surprise.
"I know," Bonnie muttered.
"Not since he told me he was leaving. For all I know, he's already gone," Elena said. Bonnie was thinking Edward—excuse me Stefan, would be back for his human blood bag, sorry that was Niklaus, for the doppleslut lookalike.
"Am I wrong?" Bonnie questioned once she saw Klaus looking at her with a raised eyebrow. He shrugged and then looked away.
"He wouldn't leave without saying goodbye," she ended up saying.
Elena grabbed her books, "Yes, he would. He thinks he's protecting me. Clean break and all that," 'At least you weren't left defenseless in a forest,' Bonnie thought. "So what are you gonna do?" she asked.
"What am I supposed to do? I've already begged him not go. If I ask again, I'm being selfish. It is what it is," Elena said. 'Wow, she is more vocal Bella Swan,' Bonnie thought. "Maybe it's for the best," she said.
Bell—Elena pouted. "At least Katherine and I somehow still look better," Amara muttered.
Elena stopped and looked at the witch, "What? Why?"
"I mean, what kind of future could you have had with him, even if he stayed?" Bonnie questioned. That was when a banner fell on them, "The Promise of your Future," it said. "Did you just...?" Elena trailed off.
"No," Bonnie had been practicing, she would know if she accidently did it. She looked down and saw a smirking Alex and Jeremy. "Oh, God," came from Elena and she walked away with Bonnie following.
At the Salvatore House, Stefan had begun accusing Damon of killing someone after he eavesdropped on his and the Sheriff's conversation. Stefan had shoved him against the wall and held them there only for him to fly across the room with a stake rather close to his heart. He looked at his brother, alarmed, "A...don't touch me. B...if I had, I wouldn't have been so obvious about it. C...There's another vampire in town—"
"I teach my kids not be obvious about it, even taught my husband," Ingrid grumbled. Klaus nodded in agreement, he had taught Marcel in a similar way.
"But that's impossible," Stefan interrupted. He flinched when another stake entered his stomach, right above his belly button.
"D...It is possible, not like we could know if there was a new vampire, it's probably a newbie. E..." he pushed the stake in more, "If you try to separate Calista and I, that other stake will move more to your left," he threatened and left Stefan practically attached to the wall.
"That was hot."
"MOM!"
Calista looked at her future son, "I'm just stating a fact."
When Stefan had appeared in front on Elena, hiding his pain, he informed Elena of the new vampire, of course thinking it was Damon. Stefan was about to leave, but he saw the Forbes twins and Bonnie. He walked over and pulled Calista over, not knowing Caroline and Bonnie followed. Stefan grabbed Calista's jaw and forced her to look at him, "You will stay away from Damon Salvatore," when her pupils didn't dilate, he was alarmed. "Get away from me!" she cried, her jaw was hurting. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO MY SISTER?!" Caroline yelled gaining the attention of many. They all saw the quieter Forbes twin run out and into Caroline's arms and sobbed. Caroline pulled her head up, "What happened to your jaw!" she said a bit quieter but with how quiet the area had gotten, everyone had heard it. "He-he w-wanted m-me to s-s-top-p b-b-ein-g-g a-a-round-d D-d-amon, H-h-e s-s-car-r-ed me C-c-are," they heard her sister sob out.
"You threatened her and bruised her jaw just because she's around your brother. I know he's older but he treats Calista like a damn queen. I have seen it and so has my mother which is why he has permission to date her when she's of age. What the hell is wrong with you?!" Caroline angrily yelled at Stefan. Many people looked at Stefan in disgust, Alex had texted her brother as he could feel Calista's distress and safe to say Stefan's in trouble. Damon, who had been with the Sheriff had gotten the text and looked angry, "What?"
"Welp, since I couldn't do it before because of human witnesses..." Damon trailed off as he became a colony of bats and they all bit Stefan as he cried out in pain begging for him to stop as he ran around the room. Quickly, colonies of bats known as Henrik, Nikolai, Hope, Ingrid, Alex, and Vlad all joined in. By then Stefan had practically no skin that hadn't been bitten,
"Sheriff, we're getting calls , someone assaulted your daughter at the high school," came over the radio. "That," Damon said, pointing to the radio. "It was Calista?" Liz asked. Damon nodded, "And apparently it was my brother," he said clenching his jaw. They immediately turned around heading for the school while the crowd had made a shield around the twins. Calista had calmed down slightly and had bruises along her jaw from where Stefan's fingers were. When they got there, everyone noticed, that's what happens when the siren was on, "I'll allow a punch," Liz said to Damon who gave her a thankful smirk and punched Stefan so hard he got knocked down and muttered, "They're all on vervain," and walked away as Liz said to the other officers, "I allowed the punch." Damon went over to where the twins were sitting and Calista latched onto Damon and buried herself into his shirt making some people want to audibly 'Aw' at the moment. He lifted her head lightly and angrily looked at her bruises. He knew Stefan unfortunately would not be in jail very long but he found a bit of satisfaction. "Caroline, I pulled you and your sister early, watch over her and be careful," Liz said. Caroline nodded and Calista got one last hug from Damon and left with Caroline.
"Yeah, I'll admit she has her moments in trying," Caroline whispered to her twin. Calista nodded back. Both of them just wished she could've made more of an effort when she was at home. They got she was a cop and was busy, and they respected that, but Liz didn't pay them a lot of attention.
Alex had discreetly passed the compass to Damon so he could find Logan fell quicker. He entered the warehouse and walked in only to be shot with wooden pallets, it wouldn't kill him, but it still hurt. "I have tons of these wood bullets, so nothing funky," Logan said.
"You don't want to do this, trust me."
Damon got shot again in the shoulder making him grunt in pain, "That's what you get," came Logan's response. He didn't get any farther as Damon had turned into a swarm of bats and the wooden bullets fell out. Logan was alarmed as he knew vampires couldn't do that. Damon appeared again, with a graying face, visible jaw and fangs with red glowing eyes that were turning very black. He let out a big roar and heard three behind him, "Ingrid? Vlad?" the two vampires smiled bitterly. "You hurt our son," Ingrid said. They all became swarms of bats that formed around Logan as he was lifted into the air and was being pulled apart. He screamed as they formed back into bodies and successfully pulled his legs and arms away before Damon took the gun that was used on him and shot him in the heart as Alex set him on fire. Damon calmed down and called Liz, "First off, how is Calista?" he asked.
"She's still shaken up but doing better. Stefan unfortunately will be out by morning," Liz said. She knew Damon was angrier at his brother than anything. He thinks his mother has a plan though. "Well I found the vampire and killed it, you won't believe who it was though," Damon said. "Who was it?" he heard.
"Logan Fell," Damon revealed. Vlad had gone to tell Jenna who was relieved, knowing Logan was also targeting her.
"You know, Elena didn't want you, Caroline, Calista, or Jeremy to know when she found out about vampires thinking you would be safe. And yet Caroline and Calista get attacked by Katherine, Calista got attacked by Stefan, Jeremy got attacked by Vicki, and you were a target for Logan Fell," Bonnie told Jenna who honestly did not look surprise by her niece's actions anymore.
"Wow," Liz said. "Yep he tried attacking me, I took care of the remains so there's no need to send people here," Damon explained.
At the career fair, Stefan had shown up, being released that morning, and was trying to ignore the glares that were given to him as Elena came up to him, he nor Elena had been informed that the vampire had been found or killed. But because Logan Fell was killed, Liz got to hang out with her daughters who were showing her what they wanted to do, Caroline for broadcast journalism, and for Calista, she picked photography. Jeremy and Tyler both had a calm conversation about drawing and Jeremy managed to calmly explain to Tyler that he had lost interest in Vicki, she just kept showing up and he would let her stay because she was high and did not need anything bad happening to her, well, you know, other than an angry Damon.
When Stefan finally got home, he was thrown to the other side of the house, and was met with an angry Damon, Alex, Caroline, and Bonnie and some younger guy he didn't know.
"I've seen you before?" Stefan asked Kol, seeing him on the screen.
"Mhmm," Kol hummed eager to watch what he did again.
Off to the side, he recognized Ingrid and Vlad along with Jeremy and Alaric, Calista was behind them. "You attacked Calista, I don't take kindly to that, this is the second time you've done it," Damon said before his face morphed into a different vampire face, so did Ingrid, Vlad, and Alex.
"W-w-what?" Stefan stuttered looking around confused. "I warned you Stefan what would happen if you hurt Calista," Damon growled out and stepped forward with the three Tepes and the other guy who's vampire face was really similar to his as they all surrounded him as Stefan looked at the other ones confused as Alaric and Jeremy pulled out crossbows with arrows pointed at him, and Calista and Caroline both made fire appear from their hands making Stefan's eyes widen. "Oh yes, The twins are witches and Bonnie is on our side on her own free will, sucks you won't remember this until very much later," Damon said as the three witches made cuts appear all over his body, and made them burn as he screamed, the two hunters would shoot him with their arrows, while the Tepes would break his ribs, Alex changed back into Lexi to mess with him even more. Eventually the unfamiliar male had pulled out a baseball bat and stated beating him with it, "Enough Kol," came Ingrid's voice and they compelled him to forget who attacked him as Elena had soon showed up.
"How could you do this too him?!" Elena screeched.
"Amara," most of the room called.
*SLAP*
Elena ran over to Stefan, "Stefan! What happened?" he helped him sit up, not thinking about his ribs. "I-I-I don't know," Stefan looked around confused. Why was he on the floor? Why did he feel like he was hit with a baseball bat? Why were his ribs broken? Elena and him talked as he was slowly healing which led to her trying to kiss him and his face shifting, and like the overly sappy yet cringy couple they are, she demanded to see the face and got to feel up his vampire face not considering that hands of a human under a vampire's nose would not possibly do good, but they kissed again, while Damon made sure to stay his parents that night, catching up with his uncle Kol who was going to stay for a bit. Of course, Damon made sure to leave a picture of Katherine around in Stefan's room, apparently it worked as he and Calista had later found Elena in a car accident. "Okay, not that long ago, she was afraid to get in a car, and now she's driving one," Calista quietly said before Damon came out of the car, chuckling.
"Exactly," Calista said, agreeing with herself.
"We're not cringy," Elena muttered, holding her sore cheek.
