~It couldn't be. It just couldn't be. He wasn't standing there with a worried expression on his face. He wasn't standing there looking scared for me.

"Spencer? Spencer!" I gasped, and my older brother ran to me so fast he nearly tripped over my IV feeder. Spencer knelt and hugged me, tears flowing down both our cheeks.

"Oh, Alex. I can't believe I'm seeing you like this," Spencer said, hugging me tighter. I winced, but let it past.

"I can't believe I'm seeing you at all. I thought you were...were..." I couldn't finish. Seeing my older brother breathing and living and looking at me made my heart flutter with happiness. Brian was supposed to have killed him, but here he was.

"I didn't die, Alex. My breathing stopped, but my heart didn't. Stefan gave me some of his blood and I healed within a week. And don't worry; I know what they are." He cast a gaze over the Salvatore brothers. I smiled.

"And I suppose Damon told you he and I are...?" I asked.

Spencer grinned from ear to ear. "I don't mind. As long as he doesn't bite you against your will or anything like that."

"Good. Because I think Mom and Dad would have had a heart attack." Laughing, we embraced, and let the world shrink around us. I remembered nothing after that.

Two weeks later...

"Damon, cut it out. I'm trying to sleep," I mumbled. Damon was running kisses up my bare back, and he chuckled when a pleasureful shiver ran up my back. We had another awesome round of fun-yes, with my brother in the house-and now Damon wouldn't leave me alone.

Damon licked some stray drops of blood off my shoulder, and I growled in a weak human way. "Damon, my neck still stings. And can I please go to sleep? I'm so tired," I said, agitated.

"Aw, but lovely..." he started to complain, but I shot him a venomous stare, and he snuggled my head up to his chest, resting a pale hand on my hair. He sighed and let the pillow sink beneath his head. He covered us both with the sheets.

"I forgot to ask you something," I said suddenly.

Damon gave me a look. "I thought you said you were tired," he asked confused.

I sat up from his chest, groping for the sheets he was trying to steal from me. "I am, but I need to ask you something first," I said. Damon ripped the sheets from me, and laughed out loud when my entire nudity was visible, and my body turned bright red. "Damon, knock it off! This question is important!" Damon finally heard the seriousness in my voice and stopped, frowning.

"What happened to Brian?" I finally was able to say.

Damon looked at me at first, then rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath. "What?" I said when he didn't speak.

Damon sighed. "I don't know," he said in a flat tone.

I sat still, hoping he'd say more, but I guess his answer was all I was going to get. "That's it? You don't know?" I prompted. Damon nodded. "What the hell do you mean you don't know?"

"Me and Stefan have no idea where he went. I tried to track him down because he ran off when me and Stefan came to rescue you, but I was tracking nothing but wind by the time he ran off like the scared little chicken shit he is," he added.

My eyes got huge. "You mean he is still out there? Omg, Damon! He could kill me any day he wanted to or even kill you or kill Spencer for good this time or..." Damon's mouth stopped my speech. His kiss was telling me to shut up, so I did when he pulled back.

"Love, if he was coming after you again, he will need an army just to get to the house. He now knows that me and Stefan can kick his petty ass anytime, and that it will take him long while just to get to you. So don't worry about it, okay lovely?"

I nodded, hoping he was right for a while.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Brian looked up at the big boarding house, eyes on one particular window.

So they think I am just going to give up,he thought mischievously. Maybe I will...maybe I won't.

So going after Maryann's only daughter is out of the question now. But what will he do to get her alone and somewhere not even Damon could find her? Getting Alex alone won't be easy. Brian couldn't even try tp think about getting her alone in a club.

So what to do now?

Nothing yet. Just wait until the right moment comes and Damon and Stefan leave her and she is all alone, then he would kill her without blinking twice. A snap in her neck...draining all the blood out of her frail body...smash her head in a concrete wall...open her chest and rip out her heart...hang her just like his dad...

A loud roar of an engine got his attention. and he whipped around to see Spencer's Ram pull into the parking lot. Brian disappeared into the forest surrounding the boarding house, watching Spencer come out of the truck with Stefan.

Now they won't even Spencer alone,Brian thought, watching. Stefan and Spencer slapped each other across the shoulders, smiling and laughing at a joke.

Brian ran to the road, thinking. How fun this is going to be. I think I should be friends with a pretty girl and tell her to be friends with Alex, Brian thought again, and smiled.

Luck was with him. A small frail, brown haired brown eyed girl stood waiting for the bus to come. Brian went straight up to her. "Hey sweet thang. how about you and me go somewhere more private? I have a very important question to ask you."

A/N:Yeah, very week chapter and ending. But if you guys want me to write more, I can. Hoped you enjoyed my story. :-)
