Chapter Two
It's My Party And I'll Die If I Want To
"You need to leave, Damon." Stefan said as he made his way across the street toward his older brother. He hated that he was always following him around and trying to make him miserable.
Damon waggled his brow playfully and smiled deviously at the other man. "I'm pretty sure this party isn't invitation only, baby bro." He started to walk past him only to be stopped when his brother reached up and put a hand on his chest, holding him in place and staring him dead in the eyes.
"That may be true, but take a look around." He spoke angrily. "No one wants you here."
Blue eyes looked around the party and his smirk widened. "Are you sure about that?" He nodded in the direction of the young woman who was standing beside Rachel. Her brow was furrowed and she was watching him closely, like she was infatuated with him, or perhaps a bit scared.
Stefan glanced over at Bonnie and he nodded. "I'm sure."
"I don't know about that. She looks very interested in having me at this party." He emphasized the word very.
"Even if she is interested in you, she's better off without you here. All of us are better off without you here."
"Ouch." He laughed. "You know, that actually hurt Stefan. I'm gonna just go and enjoy the party if you don't mind. Maybe get that girl's digits."
Stefan once again reached up and stopped Damon from walking across the street. "You will leave her alone. She is Rachel's best friend and I know what you do to the girls who are interested in you. All you bring into everyone's lives is trouble."
"Not true. I bring the fun. Which is exactly what this party needs right now."
"You aren't here for the party." He dismissed. "Admit it, Damon you came here to sabotage my night with Elena."
"Wrong again." Damon laughed and started past his brother, pushing his hand out of the way this time with his superhuman strength. Turning on his heels he started to walk backwards, still speaking to his little brother. "Unlike someone I know I'm not here to stalk Elena. I just came for the free booze."
Stefan walked toward him. "You need to leave." He didn't want some innocent person to get hurt. When Damon was around someone always got hurt.
"You need to stop telling me what I need to do." Damon turned around so that he was now walking side by side with Stefan. Turning his head he looked over at the sulking vampire and he shook his head. "Aw, stop being such a party pooper and have some fun. It's a party, remember?" He grinned and raised his brow, then turned his attention back to the beautiful woman standing beside his sister on the other side of the street.
"Hey there little sis." Damon said as he approached Rachel. The diva immediately shot a look of confusion at Stefan who shrugged his shoulders. It was obvious that neither of them wanted him to be there.
"Hello, Damon." Her voice held annoyance as she crossed her arms over her chest and looked away from him.
Silence surrounded them and they all looked around uncomfortably. Bonnie was trying not to look at the older man who was now standing right beside her. She felt oddly attracted to him, yet terrified of him at the same time.
"Since it seems my siblings aren't going to introduce me, I guess I will introduce myself." Damon said, turning to look down at the petite woman. He noticed now just how gorgeous she actually was. She had dark hair that framed her face, smooth caramel skin, and stunning green eyes. Her smile, though it looked forced, was perfect. "I'm Damon Salvatore." He reached out to her hand and took it with his own, lifting it to his lips and planting a gentle kiss on the top of it. "And you are?"
It took all of Bonnie's self-control to not pull her hand away as she was hit with images and a sickening feeling. Her mind filled with the images of a crow and blood and his aura was cold. Sometimes she could read people's auras, but she had never been able to see images when touching them.
Something was definitely changing within her and it was starting to really scare her.
"I'm Bonnie Bennett." She introduced herself with a strained smile. Honestly, she just wanted him to let go of her hand. He gave her really bad vibes like he was some kind of serial killer or something. Still, she could not deny that he was extremely good looking.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Bonnie Bennett." He said her name with a mischievous grin and a look in his eyes that said this wouldn't be the last time.
Her heart leapt and she told him the same in return. Even though she was not sure that she was pleased to meet him at all. She didn't know what to think about Damon Salvatore, but she knew that there was more to him than a pretty face.
O
"I just get a really bad feeling about him." Bonnie said to Rachel. She knew that Damon was her brother, but she needed to voice her concern. Plus it had looked like both Rachel and Stefan weren't pleased with their brother.
"As to be expected, he isn't the nicest of guys." The starlet informed.
"It's more than that, Rach." She chewed on her bottom lip and contemplated if she should tell her best friend what she saw. She had not known her very long and she was related to the man they were talking about. 'Which means she should know what I saw… If he is dangerous then it isn't safe for her to be living with him.' "When he touched me…" She paused and took in a breath. "I saw something really weird."
Rachel looked at her with confused eyes and her eyebrows knit together. "What do you mean you saw something weird?" Bonnie's curiosity was starting to worry her.
"I saw…" She furrowed her brow and thought it over. "I saw a raven covered in blood." The other woman's demeanor changed immediately when she said this and it caused Bonnie to question if she could trust Rachel. She appeared to understand what she was talking about. "Do you know what that could possibly mean?"
"It is probably simply your mind playing tricks on you. You said that you immediately got a bad feeling when you looked at him, correct?"
"Yeah, that's right." Bonnie could tell that she was trying to talk her out of her "vision".
"Then more than likely when you met him you associated bad images with him." Rachel knew that she wasn't making much sense. She knew that there was something more going on, because the images that Bonnie had witnessed correlated directly with Damon's powers as a vampire. She was starting to think that there was something special about Bonnie Bennett.
'She's definitely not a normal girl…'
O
Quinn rarely got intoxicated, but when she did, she got jealous and angry. Currently she was inebriated and she could feel the alcohol taking effect. Her vision was blurred, her words slurred, and her inhibitions were long gone.
Her hazel eyes were fixated on Rachel. She couldn't seem to stop staring at the new girl. She watched as her dark brown eyes sparkled with excitement, and her full lips twisted up into a smile that spread clear across her face as she danced around with her friend. The two of them had been dancing for a while now and it was starting to infuriate the blonde. She hated the way that Bonnie rested her hands on Rachel's shoulders, and the way that they moved together to the music.
'She's just dancing with a friend… It's innocent… and why does it matter if she likes Bonnie? It doesn't… You hate her.'
Still, she couldn't seem to pry her eyes away from the two women and when Rachel twirled Bonnie around on the dance floor, her chest tightened and jealousy overtook her. 'I want to be the one who—wait! No I don't! I want nothing to do with her! Stop watching her, Quinn! This is wrong on so many levels… You are going straight to Hell…'
Quinn pried her eyes away from the petite diva and returned her attention to her boyfriend. Her heart was pounding loudly in her ears and she could tell that she had become aroused while watching the other woman dance. But, she would never admit that. 'It wasn't because of Rachel… It was because of Tyler… He's sitting next to me caressing my thigh… that has to be why I'm aroused.'
The blonde cheerleader smirked and leant forward to press her lips against Tyler's in a gentle kiss. It quickly became heated and passionate and she pushed him down on the couch that they were sitting on. She didn't care who saw the two of them. In fact, she hoped that Rachel would see them. She wanted everyone to see them so that they would know that she only had feelings for boys, for her boyfriend.
Tyler was shocked by his girlfriend's abrupt attack. He had been dating her for nearly seven months and Quinn had never shown interest in sleeping with him. She had informed him that she was Catholic and that she was not going to have sex until she was married. He had agreed with a hope that she would change her mind, but he didn't really feel right about taking advantage of a drunken woman. He cared about her and he knew that her religion was important to her.
When she started to trace her fingers under his shirt and over his toned abdomen, his eyes snapped open and he pulled out of the kiss.
Something was wrong.
"What's going on Quinn?"
Quinn glanced across the room and took in the sight of Rachel's long perfect exposed legs. 'Why does she always have to wear such short skirts?' "I thought that was obvious." The blonde stated with a smirk on her lips and dark lust filled eyes.
He had never seen her look at him with such eyes and it caused his body to react. But, he knew that something was off. It had to be the alcohol coursing through her veins. There was no way that she would be attacking him unless that was the case. "It's obvious that you've drunk too much tonight, Q. I don't want you to do anything you'll regret tomorrow."
"I won't regret it tomorrow. I want you, Tyler." She spoke in a low seductive tone of voice that made him want to give in. Finally, he did.
Tyler would never take her virginity while she was drunk, but he saw no harm in making out with his girlfriend while she was in a frisky mood. She never attacked him like that when she was sober.
"You have an exceptional singing voice." Quinn's ears perked up when she heard Rachel's voice. And she pulled out of the heated kiss she was sharing with Tyler in order to look over his shoulder and across the room. The starlet was talking to a young man. "I think that you would make a wonderful addition to Glee Club."
He looked rightfully hesitant. Joining Glee Club was social suicide.
"I'll think about it." He said and that earned a bright smile from Rachel.
Quinn couldn't believe that he had told her that he would think about it. It caused her body to heat up and anger to consume her. She couldn't explain it, but the alcohol in her blood made things that slightly irritated her, irritate her all the more. Hastily, she moved off of Tyler and started toward Rachel and the young football player.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." She told him.
Rachel and the football player both turned to look at the intoxicated cheerleader with confused looks. They didn't understand why she was suddenly interrupting their conversation. "Why shouldn't I join Glee Club?"
"Because, if you join Glee Club you are committing social suicide. All of the other football players will make fun of you, you will get slushied every day, and no one will ever want to date you again." Quinn informed angrily. She was pissed off that Rachel was promoting for Glee Club at her party. "And you." She caught brown eyes with hazel. "Need to stop promoting for that stupid club at my party. No one here wants to join your little loser club, treasure trail."
Rachel could feel her anger rising and she knew that she needed to take the high road and keep a level head. If she didn't control herself she would change in front of the other woman and attack her. "Quinn, I would never intentionally promote for Glee Club at your party. I simply heard this young gentleman singing along to one of these preposterous songs that people seem to think of as music these days, and I thought that he had the potential to hone his skills if he joined Glee Club."
"News flash, man-hands. No one wants to join your pathetic little club. I mean your best friend didn't even want to join." She stumbled over her words and knew that she would regret them in the morning, but right now she was drunk and she was tired of Rachel encroaching on her territory and attempting to get everyone to join her stupid club.
Quinn couldn't tell if it was the alcohol in her system playing tricks on her, but suddenly she saw Rachel's brown eyes change. The white of them started to turn a deep red like they were filling with blood, and she swore that she could see veins pressing against the skin beneath them.
"Rachel… Your eyes." She muttered under her breath.
Rachel immediately turned around and attempted to calm herself down. She could feel the veins rising beneath her eyes and the fangs breaking through her gums. She knew that if she did not get away from the blonde right then that she would do something she would regret. 'She saw my eyes change… It is a good thing that she is inebriated, hopefully she will not remember this in the morning.'
Quinn took a step toward the shorter woman and tried to look at her face again, but Rachel moved away from her and quickly ran into the forest.
'What happened to her eyes…? I swear I saw something…'
O
Stefan smiled as he rested his elbows against the bridge and stared down at the water below. It was a beautiful view, but not quite as beautiful as the woman standing beside him. He had finally gotten the chance to talk to her and it was just as amazing as he had imagined it would be.
"So, this is some party huh?" Elena asked with a smile, turning and looking at the young man. She didn't know much about the silent man, but she knew that she was attracted to him and that she felt like he was a good man. Even if he was obviously keeping something from her while he spoke. She figured he had his reasons.
"Yeah, I guess." He wasn't really big on parties. He had come to see her, but he couldn't exactly say that.
Suddenly he heard something off in the distance. It was Quinn's voice. She had asked Rachel what was wrong with her eyes. 'Oh no… Did she see something?' Stefan hated to once again run out on Elena before getting to talk to her about much of anything, but he had to make sure that his sister was alright. When she got angry she tended to change and hurt people.
Stefan turned and looked down into Elena's beautiful eyes. "I've got to go." He started to walk away and the young woman reached out and grabbed ahold of his arm.
"Where are you always running off to, Stefan?"
"I just have some family matters I need to attend to." He said with a sad smile. He hated having to leave once again. "I promise that we will catch up at a later time. I'm sorry Elena."
"It's fine." She was frustrated. Every time that they started to get to know each other something would come up and he would always leave. She was starting to think that he didn't really like her at all. Either that or he was a serial killer. But, she preferred to think that he wasn't into her.
On his way toward Quinn and Tyler, Caroline walked up to him and gripped onto his shirt smiling up at him. She was obviously intoxicated. "Hey there, sexy." She said with a grin. "Where are you headed? Did you wanna maybe sneak off into the woods and have a little fun?"
"I'm not interested, Caroline." Stefan stated bluntly in an attempt to get past her.
Normally he would try and be considerate, but she had been throwing herself at him all night and he needed to find his little sister. Still, he felt terribly guilty when her blue eyes shimmered with tears and a sad look covered her face before she told him whatever and ran off into the forest. He tried to stop her, knowing it could be dangerous with an angry Rachel, and Damon at the party, but she was already gone.
Caroline was sobbing loudly as she stumbled through the forest in a drunken haze. She had consumed far too much alcohol to even know where she was going; she just knew that she was getting away from Stefan and Elena. Elena had claimed to be her best friend and yet when she told her she had a crush on Stefan it didn't stop her from going after him.
Suddenly, she tripped and ran directly into a dark figure, falling backwards onto the ground and staring up at them.
"Ahhhhh!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.
Everyone at the party heard the scream come from the forest and they all turned to stare deep into the darkness. Some people reached out and started to call the police, and others headed into the forest. Stefan quickly made his way through the trees in search of Caroline. He recognized her voice.
Something bad was happening to her. He could smell her blood.
Quinn stared deep into the forest with worried hazel eyes. Her heart was racing and her hands were shaking, she was scared that something was out there; something was out there with Rachel. She was starting to feel extremely guilty for scaring the innocent young woman into the forest.
'I never wanted her to get hurt…'
