Blood and Honey (Vampire Diaries FanFic)

4- Who Are They..?

A few minutes later..

I weave through the crowd, as I begrudgingly follow behind Tyler and Mason, as they stop at nearly every food stall, and mini-game booth. As we walked, I notice a man put a younger man in a choke-hold, behind a popcorn stand. It was clear that it wasn't a friendly gesture, by the young man's posture. Seeing this, I take a step forward, only to have Mason stop me by grabbing my shoulder. "Easy Kujo, not tonight. We've got bigger things to worry about.." he mutters to me, glancing up at the moon. I glance from him to the two men, and back to him, before sighing in defeat. "Right." I say just as quietly. "Hey guys, you coming or what? I gotta get to the arm wrestling booth!" Tyler calls out to us. Hearing this, we exchange a glance, before following after him.

???'s P.O.V.

I silently watch The Lockwood kid arm wrestling, trying to figure out what's so special about him, the Uncle, and the Hottie who follows them around. The Uncle and her are watching him awfully close tonight.. I keep watching, seeing the two standing behind the kid, as he battles a kid in a jersey. I look back on the other night, while i had been talking to Carol in the Mayor's office. What was with the twenty questions the other night at the Lockwood house? I don't know what it is, but there's something about them.. As I think this, I hear footsteps approach me from behind. Knowing who it was, I roll my eyes, and ignore him. "You're lurking." He says, stopping at my side, crossing his arms. I roll my eyes again. "I'm observing." I correct. "Mhmm, more like obsessing." He fires back, before we watch the baby Lockwood slam the other kids hand on the table. The crowd around them cheer in excitement. "He's got strength." I say, crossing my arms as well. "He's a triple-letter varsity athlete. Of course he has strength." The one beside me says. I shake my head, earning a scoff. "You're reaching." He says, right before the Uncle leaves the woman's side, and walks to the table. "I bet I can take you." The Uncle says with a confident smirk.

"Enter the Uncle." I say to my brother beside me. "Wait! I call dibs on the winner!" The Hottie says, raising her hand, before moving in closer. She had long, Wavy, Dark Brown hair, Honey Brown eyes, and finely tanned skin. She wasn't too short, she had to be at least 5'6". Her athletic build only added to her charm. She wore a Red tank-top; which ended just above her navel; with camouflage cargo pants; which seemed to tastefully cling to her hips and long legs; with Dark Brown, almost Black leather combat boots ending mid-shin. Her style seemed to lean towards more of a Tomboy-esque vibe, but not without a few girlish tweaking.

Hearing the woman speak, a group of Jocks in jerseys elbow eachother after checking her out, before one takes a step forward. He had large, muscular shoulders, dark skin, dark eyes, and was about six feet tall. "If that's the case, then if you win, why don't I be your first opponent?" The brawny kid asks with a smirk. The Uncle laughs at this, before looking to the brawny kid. "No offense dude, but trust me on this, she's too much for you to handle." The Uncle says. The jock shrugs. "Thanks man, but I'll take my chances." He says, smirking. The Uncle chuckles and shrugs. "Alright man, it's your funeral." Uncle Lockwood states, before focusing back on Baby Lockwood. The woman looks the Jock's way, before scoffing, and turning back to the two men, clearly uninterested. The baby Lockwood chuckles, before looking towards her with a teasing glance. "Hey, don't get your hopes up man, that's only If she beats us." Baby Lockwood says, catching the woman's attention. "Oh?" She asks. Hearing this, he chuckles. "C'mon Rae, you know you can't beat us." He says with a cocky grin, before grabbing the Uncle's hand, and readying himself for the match. The woman; now known as Rae; scoffs, and crosses her arms over her chest, giving me a better view, as the tops of her chest, peak out of the low cut tank top she wore, which I appreciate.

"And that is exactly why I hope you win Ty, just so I can wipe that cocky smirk off your face when I beat you." She says, before walking behind the Uncle, who simply chuckles at their exchange. "You ready kid?" The Uncle asks. Baby Lockwood nods. "Bring it on, surfer boy." He says. The Uncle chuckles at how confident he was acting. "This is ridiculous.." Stefan says. I silently hold up my hand, waving him off, before continuing to watch. The competition is over quickly, with the Uncle being the victor of that round. "Damn!" Baby Lockwood says, rubbing his arm. The Uncle laughs again. "Is that it?" The Uncle asks, earning a glare from baby Lockwood. Rae steps up, laughing quietly, and looking to both of them. "C'mon, don't get too into it you two. It's just a game." She says. Hearing this, baby Lockwood rolls his eyes, and nods his head with a sigh. "Right. Good game man." He says, before they do a common bro-hug. Stefan sighs and shakes his head. "Wow. Impressive." He says sarcastically.

I roll my eyes and speak. "Now, I get Mason's the Uncle, and Tyler the son, but I haven't quite figured out Miss Hottie's part in this whole Lockwood family get together." I say, motioning between the three of them. "Easy, the Uncle's girlfriend." Stefan says dismissively. "Nope. No way." I say immediately. "Oh? How so?" He inquires. I scoff. Isn't it obvious? Then again, this is Stefan we're talking about here. Guess I have to spell it out for him. "Not once has either of them exchanged intimately, in the entire time I've been watching them." I say. "Hmm, well, here's a crazy idea. Maybe, just maybe, they're not big on public promiscuity, unlike yourself.." Stefan says. I scoff.

"Please Stefan, look at her. There is absolutely no way they're a thing. Even you and your Bible School attitude, wouldn't be able to resist touching her." I say matter-of-factly. Stefan sighs after a few moments. "Alright, I bite. What do you think?" He asks. I shush him once I hear baby Lockwood speak. "Alright, he's the champ. Who wants to go next?" He asks, both him and the Uncle looking around the small crowd, before stopping at Rae. She looks to them and scoffs. "Pass, it's no fun unless I'm against Tyler." She says and shrugs. The Uncle chuckles at this. "Well, who is she?" Stefan asks again. "That's what you are going to help me with, brother." I say. Stefan furrows his brows. "What?" He asks. I smirk at him, before looking to the Lockwoods. "Hey, Stefan wants a go!" I call out, catching their attention. "Wha-? Yeah, sure...I'll give it a go." Stefan says reluctantly, before giving me a look. I smirk at him more. "While you're at it, why don't you test out how strong the Uncle really is." I say with a wink. Stefan rolls his eyes and saunters over to the table. "Go get 'em Stef." I call out, amused.
