THIRD'S THE CHARM | The Vampire Diaries x Male OC

LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (S1:E17)

At the Salvatore Boarding House, Damon boards up the window that broke during the storm that's raging outside, while Stefan, Elena and I watch him.

Damon: I say we go to Pearl's, bust down the door, and annihilate the idiot that went after Elena yesterday.

Stefan: Yeah. And then what? We turn to the rest of that house of vampires and say, "Oops. Sorry"?

Elena: I can't believe you made a deal with her.

Damon: It was more like a helpful exchange of information. And it's not like I had a choice. She's... scary. I mean, Sam scared her off, but he's not always around, now is he? Besides, she's gonna help me get Katherine back.

I roll my eyes. Now he wants Katherine again? When will this guy ever learn?

Elena: Of course she is. Damon gets what he wants, as usual. No matter who he hurts in the process.

Damon: You don't have to be snarky about it.

Elena: Yesterday, Sam told us that all the vampires have been released from the tomb. I've earned snarky.

Damon: How long are you going to blame me for turning your birth mother into a vampire?

I sigh. I really don't wanna be part of all the drama. A battle-plan or something like that would have been much more appreciated.

Elena: I'm not blaming you, Damon. I've accepted the fact that you're a self-serving psychopath with no redeeming qualities.

Damon: Ouch.

Stefan: This isn't being very productive. We're gonna figure out a way to deal with Pearl and the vampires. Yeah

Sam : Wow, since when is Stefan the voice of reason?

Damon : Since ever, that's why Elena is so butthurt I assume.

We both chuckle, then leave the room, out of earshot from Stefan.

Damon : The blade?

Sam : It's safe.

Damon : Under your pillow?

Sam : No. It's well hidden.

Damon : So? Are you gonna tell me what all of this is about now?

Sam : No.

Damon sighs.

Sam : I've already told you, the less you know, the better. Anyone who knows about it, besides me, is dead.

Damon : Wow, that makes me worry so much less. Good work, brother.

I roll my eyes at him.

Sam : Can we stop talking about that now? Please?

Damon : For the time being, sure.

-

Sam : I'm fine, old friend. You know better than anyone that I can take care of the situation.

I'm at the phone with a very dear, old friend of mine.

? : If you need me to come to Mystic Falls and assist you, I will come as fast as I can.

Sam : I know, Brother...

I look out of the window of my room and see Elena talking to Stefan about something in the driveway.

Sam : ... but right now, I don't really need help. Although the offer is very much appreciated. After all, my real brothers are not much of help in those kind of situations.

I hear a bit of chuckling at the other end of the line.

? : And if I just want to see my best, and quite frankly only, friend again?
