The Other Mikealson

Damon Salvatore ~ 2009

'Why? Have you seen her?' 'She came to my house, then ran off when she found out I was a Mikealson. Nik, she is an exact replica of Katerina!' 'I know that' 'That's why you wanted me here, isn't it?' 'No, but while your there keep an eye on her will you?' He asks and hangs up before I could argue any further.

I've decided to take a stress break and go exploring around town. People kept looking at me strangely, must not get a lot of new people here. There's like literally only one restaurant, and it's called The Grill. Who wants to go somewhere called The Grill? Oh well, they better have good stuff here.

Somebody bumps into me as I walk inside, a teenage boy, around my age. He smiles at me and I smile back.

"Sorry about that, I thought nobody was there, I don't know how I didn't see you though" He says, making me chuckle. "No, that's alright and thank you for the compliment, Ava" I say, holding out my hand. "Jeremy" He grabs a napkin and writes his phone number on it. "Thank you, Jeremy" I walk up to this bar thing and sit down on one of the stools. Then hit my head on the bar table thing.

"Your gonna knock yourself out" "I'm keeping my fingers crossed" "See Jeremy over there was flirting with you" My head shot up off the table. How did he hear that?

"What's your name?" "Why do you want to know?" "There's no way you heard our conversation, unless..." He looks at me and I look at him. I look around and then whisper in his ear,

"...your a vampire" I say and raise an eyebrow. "Hey do they have good food here?" "The people are amazing, so delicious" "Mm, I knew it" I say.

Since original vampires can compel other vampires, I try to compel him to tell me his name.

"Tell me your first and last name, don't throw a fit about it this time... your on vervain!" "Mhm for situations such as this one" "Someone named Elena Gilbert showed up at my doorstep today" "And?" "And she looks like an exact replica of Katerina Petrova, your a vampire, every vampire in the history of vampires knows about her" He nods.

"Wait a second... your... your Damon Salvatore" "What do you know about me?" "Stefan, your brother told me about you, back in 1920 before he left again. Nik compelled him in 1968 to forget about us when he tried to come crawling back. You know, all the Mikealson's -including me- which meant-" "Your relationship too"

"I haven't seen him since, how is he?" I ask. "Broody, drinks animal blood, oh he's dating Elena" "That's... as long as he's happy" "Happy? He's not happy, what he was with you was happy" "I had to take it away, I didn't want him to hurt forever" "I understand, why don't you come see him" "Doesn't matter, he's compelled remember?" "I can fix that" "Why are you being so nice to me?"

"Because I was the one who convinced Stefan to leave at the bar with me. I wasn't the same me, and I'm trying to make it right" "So, you destroyed me back then" He nods and I punch him in the face, blood comes out of his nose and I walk out of The Grill.
