Flip the switch (VD)

Bibbity Bobbity Boo {8}

Zara's POV:

I wake up the next morning and look over at my alarm clock. Shit. It's like 11:30. Well I guess I'm not going into school today. Oh well. I smile and sit up, last night I finally unpacked everything so now I feel like my little home is complete. I get out of bed only wearing a bra and shorts as it was rather warm last night. I pick up the oversized t-shirt I threw on the floor last night and throw it over my head lazily. I walk downstairs and walk into my kitchen to make myself some tea. I'm much more of a tea person then coffee, I don't understand how people can drink the stuff, it's vile. I jump and scream a little walking into my kitchen and seeing Damon. He just turns around and gives me a almost worried look. "Damon? What the fuck? How did you get in here?" I yell at him and he steps forward.

"Okay, when you were at mine after the party who were you dreaming about?" I look at him stunned.

"Excuse me?" I'm still very shocked and slightly scared that he's in my house.

He steps forwards and grabs my arms making me flinch gaining flash backs. "Zara tell me." His pupils dilate but I push him off.

"Damon get out of my house! How dare you break in then start trying to demand stuff from me! Why do you even care it was just a bad dream!" Now he looks shocked which is beyond my understanding. How can he be shocked when he's standing in my kitchen?! He starts looking worried and looks down. "Get out!" I yell and he does so. He quickly walks out of my house.

Damon's POV:

What in gods name just happened? Why couldn't I compel her? Damn it Stefan. He must of given her vervain already! I drive to the school at a quickened pace ready to fine out who the hell did that without telling me. I thought we were all a team now but clearly not! Keeping me out of the loop like that is beyond idiotic. What if she saw something and we couldn't just compel it out of her? I don't can know what they gave her! I didn't have a chance to look over her body before being kicked out! I open my door and slam it once out upon arriving at this hell hole. I storm inside and over to the receptionist. I compel her to tell me what class Stefan's in and she tells me History and the room number. Perfect, Ric will surly allow Stefan to leave without much compelling. After searching for the stupid room I burst in without knocking, the whole class looks at me and I realise that everyone apart from Caroline are in here. Great. Now they'll all know how pissed I am. "Need to talk to Stefan. Now." I say walking out the room hearing Stefan jog after me.

"Damon what the hell?"

"Damon what the hell? What about Stefan what the hell? You gave her vervain?" He looks at me pretending to be confused. "Zara! You gave her vervain without telling me! What happened to 'we'll work together from now on, brother'." Mocking his voice Stefan brings out a bracelet from his pocket.

"You mean this vervain bracelet?" I stare at it now even more confused then before. What on earth is going on?

"Well, someone else must have done it? Donavon maybe?" My dear brother shakes his head and explains that Matt knew of the bracelet and tried it out to ensure it worked. Why so paranoid? "Stefan I couldn't compel her! Something has happened and if it wasn't any of us who was it? You sure Bon Bon didn't bibbity bobbity boo her?" Stefan looks less then amused to say the least. "Throw some ideas around brother!" I turn and punch a locker as not knowing is driving me insane.

"Wait, why were you compelling her anyway?" Shit, didn't think this far ahead.

I spin on my heals to face him. "You see, I just wanted to wish her a good morning, maybe have some breakfast. All innocent things." I lie ending in a cold look.

"Damon she's not food-" I cut him off, putting my index finger to his annoying lips, thinking about who it could've been. It wouldn't have been Kathrine as she would never vervain someone she herself could compel. That leaves little option.

"Klaus." We both stare at each other.

"But why would he do that when he could compel her?" I don't know Stefan why ask me stupid question?

"Let's go find out." I say as I speed out of school knowing Stefan's right behind me. He messages Elena and gang to tell them what's happening as I drive to our best friends house for a little play date. On arrival I slam my fist on his door to which I have no answer so take it upon myself to break it down, Stefan shakes his head but what else can I expect? I whistle hoping this will attract his hound side. "Come on Klausy, here boy!" I yell through the house getting shoved by my own flesh and blood. I hear laughs and see Elijah come forth along with the mutt himself.

"Hello boys, not here for a spot of lunch I assume?" Ha ha isn't Elijah the comedian today.

"Growing a sense of humour are we?" Throwing the insult back I hope he doesn't fall over.

"To what do we owe the pleasure?" The damn smirk plastered on Klaus' face tells me he knows exactly why.

"Did you give Zara vervain?" Stefan why be so polite? Naughty boy should go in the dog house. Damn I'm on fire today.

"I didn't." Hearing that chuckle makes me want to rip my own heart out. My brother then asks what it is Klaus has done, as something has clearly occurred. "Why would I vervain her and allow her to be free of my compulsion? That's just silly isn't it?" He approaches us and wraps his arms over our shoulders. "No, I've done something much better. You see a witch friend of mine and put a spell upon a necklace, using vervain yes, however I can still compel Miss Zara while she wear the necklace." Laughing more he pats our backs. "Best part is you can't remove it. Otherwise she may become quite unwell. Is that what you wish for her?" Anger passes through me and I have no words. Normally I would at least give Klaus credit for creativity however this poor girl really has been through enough. When in her dream not only did I see it first hand, but I felt what she felt. It reminded me of how my father was to Stefan and I, only worse.

"What do you want with her?" My own voice worrying me from my calm tone as I stare at the floor, I feel everyone's eyes on me. "What could you possibly do to her? You made a deal-"

"She was not apart of the deal." His words like venom as he walks towards me. Honestly, I don't know why I feel so protective about this girl. I just feel like, like she needs it? Weird right?

"Well she's Elena's friend so you best put her on the fucking list." I look up and walk so we're inches from each other and stare him dead in the eye.

"Is this a threat?" He laughs literally in my face. "What are you going to do about it? You going to set all your scary vampire friends on me? Maybe even get the Bennet witch? Or even better get Tyler to try and fight against me?" I feel the veins begin to pop out under my eyes and my teeth sharpen, why am I losing it? It's not like she's another doppelgänger to mess with my mind so why am I letting her invade me so easily? Again, being laughed in my face Klaus steps back a little flashing his yellow eyes at me beforehand. "Don't start a fight you can't win, Salvatore." He walks away and I speed away before I really loose it and get myself or Stefan hurt. I lean on my car and try breathing deeply.

"Damon." I hear my brother call but refuse to establish him. "What happened in there?" Standing up straight I get in my car and start the engine, driving away leaving my brother to go take out my rage on some randoms outside of town so Elena can't get as mad at me. Not looking back I hit the wheel of my car, not hard enough to do damage but just hard enough to let my anger out. Why can't Klaus go find some other small town to infest, why does it have to be this one? Everyone I care about is here which annoys me beyond belief. The only person who I have cared about that is MIA at the moment is Kathrine but I can't say I'm too sad about that right now.

I just need to leave. But I can't. This shitty town is like a magnet, if I leave I know I'll only be pulled back in after no time at all. In all my years, I've never been able to stay away for very long before I at least come here for a few hours to feed or something stupid like that. The longest time spent away was 5 solid years, which isn't very long when you live forever, however I think that will be long enough for Zara to move away or something. I really think about just leaving but something tells me to stay. I try to push the feeling down but I think if I push it any more it may push my switch down with it and I don't think that would help anyone, even me.
