above and beyond -Damon Salvatore

Old friends

Man, I didn't had the stupid necklace. I gave it Kat and since that I hadn't seen it.
I rushed to my car and called Bonnie.

"Callie, how long does it take to come here?" She sounded cold.
"BonBon, I need to find the necklace first."
I heard her sigh and the line went dead. 

I reached the font, stopped the car and hopped out.
This damn ambush. Only Kat and I new the trick how to get into the font without getting hurt.

"Twist, turn left and unlock.", I mumbled. With a loud click the vervain-water drained off and I jumped inside.
For a quick second I searched trough the stones and pulled out a loose one.
"Bingo." I grinned. She brought it here before she left... somewhere.

20 minutes later I arrived at the old house where the witches had died. Before I entered the porch I took some deep breathes.
That's the place where John died. Elena woke up here, as a human. Jenna lost her life. Klaus had threaten us for months and nearly killed Elena and killed Jenna. And this whole cure thing ended here.
"Bonnie?" I shouted and looked around as I made my way down to the basement.
I heard her mumble something in a language I didn't know.
"Hey Callie. Do you have the necklace?" She talked to me like she talked to Damon and Stefan; Cold, denying and full of anger.

"Here." I kicked it infront of her and raised an eyebrow.
"Thank's." She nodded, "where did you found it?"
"Secret." I winked.
Bonnie rolled her eyes and suddenly pain cut trough my head.
I whinded myself in pain. "Bonnie, that's not necessary."
"Gram's!" I heard her shouting.
And it stopped.
I straightend up, "Gram's?"
"She's here." A small smile rushed over her face, "and she'll help me with the spell."
"Which spell?"
"We need to destroy the necklace."
"Okaaay." I smiled.
"And then the whole ghosts will dissapear." She smiled soothing. To sooth herself, I thought and grinned.
"Perfect. I'll let you do your little magic trick.", I sent her a cocky smile, "and we'll meet later, BonBon."
Bonnie sent me a final cold look and I left the house.

When I arrived at home I dropped myself on a chair after I took a bottle of Bourbon.

"Cal?" Ric's voice came from upstairs.
"Jep." I took a zip from his Bourbon.
"Where were you?" he asked as he came downstairs.
"Helping Bonnie." I answered and drunk some more.
"Ah." He grinned before putting on his serious face, "have you talked to Damon?"
"No." I downed the bourbon.
"You probably should."

"Okay. Well then.. See you later." And I was gone.

I went to the boarding house just to find it empty. Blood all over the carpet in the living room. Strange, I wondered.
"Damon?"
"Stefan?"
"Fine." I sighed and left.
I returned to my car and drove off.

The Mystic Grill and the square infront of it were fully. It was like whole Mystic Falls had a meet up.
Kids ran around and handed me a flyer;
"The night of enlightement."
Suddenly someone crushed into me.
"Callie." She sounded slightly suprised.
"Elena." I said neutral.
"Have you seen Jer? Or Stefan?"
"No. Can I help you with something?"
"Yes. Actually you can. Find Stefan or Jer." She answered hastily and left the grill.
I deciced to check the washrooms.
While I opened the door I checked my phone.
Elena messaged me:
Found Stefan. And LEXI! What went wrong? Call Bonnie!

I was shocked and looked up just to find Jer kissing ANNA passionatly.
"An-Anna?" Hapiness, shock, anger, sorrow- it all hit me.
I pushed Jer away and pulled her into a hug.
"Hey." She smiled while she hugged me.

"What are you doing here?" I still couldn't clear my thoughts.
"I try to find my mum." She said a bit sadly.
"And Jer.". I teased her and turned to Jer: "We'll talk later."
"Don't tell Bonnie!" He said quickly and looked at me with his puppy eyes.
"Tell BonBon yourself!" I grinned and turned back to Anna:
"So? How can I help you?"
My phone buzzed.
"We can do that alone." She sent me a small smile and rushed outside, Jer following her.
I sighed and read the message.
Found Damon. At the grill. Ric

Second later I was next to them.
"Hey Ric", He smiled, "Hey Damon."
"Callie." Damon sounded.. relieved; "We should-" I cut him off.
"We should talk, Damon."
"Yes." He took my hand and got up but before we could walk away a familiar voice stopped us.
"Hello, Damon." We turned back and saw Mason sitting next to Ric.
Damon gave him a big grin.
"Here to kill me?"
I grapped his hand tighter but he just dropped it. 
"No." Mason suprised us and poured himself a drink, "to forgive you, if you excuse." 
Ric took a breath and I raised an eyebrow.
"No." Damon said with another arrogant grin.
"Damon!" Ric warned.

"Come on!", Mason sent him a warm smile, "Don't be such an arrogant ass!"
"Fine." Damon said trough clenched teeth, "I am sorry."
Mason smiled again: "Wounderful, now come with me! I'll show you something."
"Why should we trust you?" I asked and raised a brow.
"I'm dead." He shrugged and walked towards the door.

"Wow, what's that?" We've been walking trough some hidden tunnels for almost 15 minutes now.
"Didn't you know? These are the secret tunnels from the Lockwood property."
I looked around, still fascinated as well as Ric; The historian inside of him was happy, I could tell. Only Damon didn't seemed inpressed at all;
"Where are we going?"

"We're there." He said and walked into a smaller tunnel, flowing into a cave.
Suddenly Damon stopped.
"Why can't I enter?" he asked suprised.
I tried and couldn't enter as well.
Just Ric was able to enter.
Damon smiled: "No entry for supernaturals."
Mason laughed; "We Lockwoords are tricky little bitches."

Ric interrupted the conversation: "What's all that, Mason?"
"A family story." He looked around and stopped when he saw 3 names incised in the stonewall.
"No way." He whispered stunned.
"What Ric? What did you found?"
He raised his voice:" Rebekah, Klaus and Elijiah. There names. They were here."
Now I was stunned.
"How can that be true, Mason?" I turned around but he was gone.
"Mason?"
"Mason!"

He was gone.
"Bonnie fixed it." I sighed and then it hit me.
"LEXI! ANNA!" I screamed and ran back, but didn't get far.
"CALLIE! WAIT!" Damon stooped me, "What's wrong?" His icy orbs met me and I shivered as tears streamed down my face.
"Damon.. Anna was here. After all I've put her trough.. I finally could apologize. Could talk to her." I cried.
"It wasn't your fault.. It just happened." Damon shook me cause I keep crying.
"I could have talked to her about..", I looked into his eyes, "you."
He looked at me blankly, "but you could talk to all the others."
"NO! They all hate me! As much as you do!" I shouted and cried.
"Why should we?"
"Klaus. I betrayed all of you."
Damon sighed.
"Yes, you did. But Callie, I love you! I do! They call me crazy but I do!"
"But- But I kissed him! And Kat! And the other things!"
"And still.. I love you."
He leaned down to kiss me but I tunred away.
"Damon,", my voice was soft now., "I have to think about that." I said and ran away.

"Elena? Caroline? Jer? Tyler? Bonnie? RIc? Damon."  I looked at them suprised.
They sat in the salon of the boarding house and stared into the fire.
"This day was freakin." Caroline sighed and downed her drink.
"What happened?"
She looked at me annoyed 'cause of my existens.
"Tomb-Ghost-Vampires tried to kill my mum and Caroline saved her. Lexi helped Elena to lock Stefan away. You found that creepy cave and yeah, that's it." Tyler explained and gave me a short smile.
I stared at Jer for a breef moment.
"Yeah, that's it, right?"
Jer looked caught and shook his head slighly.

I cleared my throat and looked at them:
"I decided something. Right now I didn't really have any connection with one of you, for good reasons. I have to think about all this and that's why I'll take some time out. See you in a bit."
And without another word, I left.
When I arrived home I grabbed two huge bags and filled them with all my stuff, I grabbed the keys for my SUV and left.

But before I left town I stopped at the old prison.
"Hey Stef." He looked up and grinned.
"Callie."
"I'm just here to tell you that I'm leaving."
For a second I saw suprising and sadness.
"Not forever. Just until.. It gets better."
He nodded.
"Stefan, I know you are there, somewhere. Please, come back! My life falls apart and you... you were a huge part of it.. Please."
A single tear rolled down my check and dripped onto his chest as I kissed his forehead.
"Bye, Stefan."

The night was cold, my car was parked on the next corner.
Before I reached it, Damon stopped me.
"Callie. I heard you talking to Stefan."
I nodded.
"I'm here. You don't need to go. I AM THERE FOR YOU."
He grabbed my shoulders tightly.
"I just need to do this." I said and kissed his cheek before I went into the SUV and left Mystic Falls.
