The Hunters of Mystic Falls

Chapter 7

It was day time at Mystic Falls High School. There were boxes everywhere and everyone was carrying decorations in and out of the school building and their cars. Jeremy walked over to a man hunched over inside their car. "You okay?" Jeremy asked questioning the man in the car.

"I can't find my ring." He answered in frustration as he looked through the car.  "Ah. I found it." He said coming out of the car and placing a long, rectangular silver ring with a black Onyx stone in the centre of it on his finger. He looked to Jeremy with a slight smile before his brown eyes lowered back down to the ring. "loosing family airlooms. Bad." He said casually with a chuckle. Jeremy chuckled slightly also "I'm Jeremy." He introduced.

"Alaric." He responded as he leant back into the car and pulled out a box. "Could you help me, Jeremy?" Alaric pleaded pulling the box out of the car.

"Uh..." Jeremy heasitated. "Sure thing." He responded just after as he took the box off of him. Alaric took another box from the car, shut the door with his foot and walked ahead. Jeremy followed.

"So..." Jeremy began. "You're the new History teacher?" Jeremy asked trying to make conversation.

"Yeah. I am." Alaric responded. "I just started out here." He finished as the two walked into the school

Back at the Salvatore Boarding house, Damon was pacing around the house bored. He had no idea what to do. He wasn't stressed, just bored. He looked around in Stefan's room. He pulled his diary out from his bed side and opened it reading it intently. There was suddenly a knock at the door.

Grunting, Damon stood up from the bed and walked down the stairs diary in hand. The knocking continued. "I'm coming!" Damon yelled as he stepped to the door and opened it to see Sam and Dean on the other side.

"What?" Damon asked in hostility. In a sudden, Dean stepped over to Damon and pushed him into the nearest wall placing a mechete to his throat. "We saw what you did to Vicky!" Dean shouted before being grabbed by Damon and thrown into the opposite wall. "Dean!" 

Damon raised a hand to Sam. "Don't." He protested. "Big boy's gotta defend himself." He said as his eyes turned bloodshot and veins grew benieth the eyes. He walked towards Dean baring his fangs.

Dean struggled to get up. Just as he managed to find his feet again, he was picked up by Damon who's hand was around his throat. Dean struggled for breath. He attempted to pry Damons hand open to no avail.

When all seemed lost. Sam grabbed the glass bottle filled with alcohol and smashed it over Damon's head. Damon screamed in agony as his head and face appeared burned by a kind of acid. Sam looked to the now broken bottle in confusion not knowing what caused Damon to burn. Whatever it was, it was enough to distract Damon long enough for Dean and Sam to escape.

Sam and Dean walked out of the house rather angry. "Dammit!" Dean yelled in anger as he stormed towards his car. "What was in that bottle anyway?" Dean then asked Sam who was looking down at his phone. "It's called Vervain." Sam began as he continued walking.  "It's apparently Toxic to Vampires." He finished.

"So someone spiked it?" Dean asked in confusion.

"I guess so." Sam answered quickly as he opened the door to the passenger seat and sat iside. Dean following shortly after into the drivers seat. "So what's next Sammy?" Dean asked looking over to him. "Well." Sam began. "There is a search party going out to find Vicky Donavan."

"The girl who went missing?"

"Yeah."

"Didn't she die?"

"Either that or..."

"We got another Vampire on our hands." Dean said as he started the car and began driving.

As the car drove off Dean asked in a frustrated yell "How many Vampires are gonna show up in Mystic Falls anyway?!"
