Summary: Damon has a huge secret that no one knew until a few of his friends show up asking for help.

A/N: This is set in season 3 of vampire diaries. Alaric isn't crazy. Also Elena and Stefan are broken up because he thinks she has feelings for Damon. Also John Blackwell is the reformed bad guy. Totally good. This story is set in the "Traitor" episode of the Secret circle. Cole Turner is from the show Charmed. He isn't the source of all evil anymore but he still has the powers.

Chapter 8

Stefan sat down on one of chairs in the kitchen of a penthouse in New York. "I need you to come back to Mystic Falls with me." Stefan said to the owner. "I don't know if that would be a good idea Stefan." She said. "Mary, Damon needs to know that you are alive and have been since you were pronounced dead." "I understand that my son, but it is better that he doesn't know. He has already has a mother figure in his life." she told her son sadly. "Because he doesn't know you are ALIVE! How can you not want to see one of your sons?" Stefan stood up and raised his voice. "I'm going back tonight. If you truly love BOTH of your sons then you will come too." With that Stefan got up and left. Mary sighed and looked at a photo of her family before she 'died'. A figure seemingly appeared out of nowhere. "I'm glad you are staying true to your word and staying away from my Damon." Mary turned to the mystery woman. "I'm only staying away from MY son because I will not let you kill Stefan." she stated angrily. The woman cocked her head to the side. "Don't you mean MY son?" "Listen here you psychotic bitch, Damon and Stefan are both of my sons. I don't even know how you deluded yourself into thinking Damon is yours." The woman slapped Mary. "Damon is mine not yours! If you keep away from him then I won't kill little Stefan." The woman disappeared after that. Mary looked at a picture of Damon. She hugged it to herself. "One day my son, you will know that I am alive and that I love you."

Damon ran out to living room to find Faye flung across the room. "Faye!" Damon blurred to her. He looked up to see a black man with an evil smirk. "I don't believe we have met." Damon smirked. "I guess today is your lucky day," Damon blurred and stabbed the man, "or not" The man flung Damon next to Faye. He chuckled. "How cute." He took the knife and flung it toward Damon. Damon rolled and narrowly missed a knife to the head. Damon stood up. "I'm guessing you are Eben" Damon stated when he saw little snakes run under the man's face. "Yes I am. Where is dear little Cassie?" Damon realized Eben had started to torture Faye with some of his demon magic. Faye was screaming and blood was coming out of her nose, and ears. " You better hurry up and answer or she will die!" Eben yelled over Faye's screams. Damon glared and concentrated. An energy ball appeared and he hurled it toward Eben. The energy ball hit Eben and threw him across the street. " I guess we will finish this another time." Eben got into a car and drove off with his wounds. Damon blurred back to Faye. she was getting deathly pale. He hovered his hands above her face. His hands glowed and Faye started to heal. "Ohmygosh! What happened?!" Damon looked over at Caroline, who was at the doorway with a hand over her mouth. "Creepy Psycho- killer guy happened."

John, Cole, and Adam were a couple towns over in the woods. "When you asked if I wanted more training, I didn't know that included hiking in the middle of nowhere." Cole rolled his eyes. "this is very important. We thought you would like to part of this mission." "About that, what are we looking for?" John looked back at the younger kid. "We are looking for a weapon."

Elena woke up in her bed. "what happened?" She wondered out loud. "You fainted. Guess you are more fragile then you think." She looked over to Katherine and another look alike. "Who are you?" She scrambled out of her bed to the corner of her room. "Oh come on little doppelgange! Think!" The other woman said. Elena looked at her. "Tatia?" "Ding ding ding we have got a winner!" Katherine spoke up. "H-h-how?" Elena stammered.

Tyler, Matt, and Jeremy are sitting at a booth in the Grill. "Man, everything is so screwed up." Tyler told them. Matt and Jeremy nodded. "we lost a lot of allies. Caroline, Alaric, hell even Damon." Matt told them. "Bonnie has been acting weirdly too." Matt nodded. "Yeah I noticed that too. When she was worried about Elena, she told me that in the middle of the night she casted a spell to magically bind her and Elena, to protect her." Tyler and Jeremy looked creeped out. "That is really weird." Jeremy looked at his friends. " I think it is time to take matters into our own hands." Tyler and Matt agreed. "Cheers." They clinked their drinks together.

A/N: Should the next chapter be a flashback of when Damon got his powers?
