Chapter Twelve

I was walking down from my apartment, wearing a black and white striped shirt, with dark blue overalls, and a leather jacket. I had some white vans on my feet, and a nice gray hat on my head. In my hand was a pale blue and orange bag.

Inside it were my sketch books, my grimoires, and my monster proof lap top. In the overall pockets were Hurricane and my monster proof phone.

When I reached the second floor, I saw Damon and Elena talking outside Ric's apartment, "Is Ric okay?" I ask Damon.

He glares at me, probably not trusting me, "Why do you care, Kersey?"

"Because I'm not heartless, Salvatore. AND I'm loyal to my friends, he's one of them, you're not," I practically growl out, "Now, is Ric okay?"

"He's fine," Damon strengthens his glare, causing me to roll my eyes, "Now go have fun with Barbie Klaus."

"Hear you do it enough," I smirk as I walk down the stairs away from the sexual tension.

I start to walk down the street, toward the Grill, when Nico suddenly steps out of an alley way, "Hey, Marina," he smirks at me.

"Heylo, Death Breath," I return the smirk.

"Shell Head," he retorts.

"Corpse Face."

"Seaweed Brain,"

"Ghost King," he mock glares.

"Aquaman," he smirks.

"It's Aqualass, Imma girl," I roll my eyes.

"You sure," he asks sarcastically.

I mock glare at him, "I'm sure."

"Whatever you say," he throws his hands up in mock surrender, "So, wanna hang out?"

I narrow my eyes at him, "You're already here, dumbo."

He just rolls his almost black eyes, "Whatever."

(Hours later)

Nico and I have been hanging out all day. Now we're walking through town square. I'm in the same outfit from before, and Nico's wearing a a black tee shirt that says, "In Memory of........When I Cared," which was covered by a black leather jacket. He was also wearing a pair of black skinny jeans, with black boots. And on his middle finger, I can see his silver sword/ring, made of Stygian Iron (Spelling?).

As we walked through the square, I saw Finn and Sage chatting.

I quickly intertwined Nico and my arms and dragged him over to them, "Where are we going?"

"It's Finn and his lover, Sage," I smiled back at him.

"Finn Mikaelson?" He frowns in confusion.

I roll my sea green eyes, "Yes, Finn Mikaelson. He did kind of betray his family, and stuff," Nico gives me a look, "BUT, he doesn't like being a vampire, soooo, it's understandable. I just wish he wouldn't take everyone down with him."

As I finish, we finally reached them. Finn looks surprised to see me, "Hello, Marina."

"Heylo, Finn," I look toward the redhead, "Sage."

"Marina," she nods, then looks to Nico, "Who's this young boy?"

"This is my baby goth cousin Neeks," I give her a cheeky smile.

"Older than you, not goth, my name is Nico," Nico corrects automatically.

I huff and roll my eyes, "Ruin the fun will you." He just sticks his tongue out at me, "Wanna keep that tongue of yours?" He immediately closes his mouth, "What I thought."
