Damon was drunk...
Well, he would be if he was still human but he had drunk a lot of alcohol none the less and was acting drunk to fool the humans around him.
He was lonely and he knew his brother wouldn't forgive him easily for letting him down in 1942... He was sure Lexi wouldn't tell Stefan the truth and maybe it was for the best... But right now he was lonely...
He was in Ohio, just passing by until he found a place he wanted to stay. A girl with brown hair and a big nose had been trying to make a move on him all night and he knew she was a witch... She had to know what he was...
"Come on, dance with me!" She told him.
Because he was lonely, he let her drag him off to the dance floor and he let her have her fun. He bought her a drink afterward and learned her name was Shelby Corcoran. She was looking for a way to make enough money to go and live in New York to try and make it on Broadway...
"Why don't you use magic?" He asked her.
"I did... I did a spell this morning... The way for me to go to New York is supposed to come to me tonight..." She replied.
"Really? How?" He asked curiously.
"Who knows? Who cares? As long as I get my money..." She replied.
He stayed by her side the whole night long and when nothing happened, she was so disappointed that it was rather easy for him to get her in his bed for the night.
It was a good night and so Damon decided he would stay around for a while... A couple of weeks maybe more... he wanted to see if something would happen to help Shelby get to New York...
What could he say, he was curious.
The next day, he saw Shelby again at the bar, and the day after that and every day for the next two weeks. He didn't have sex with her anymore and he could see her staying away from men altogether... Apparently all she wanted was her money so she sat on her stool at the bar and drank a couple of glasses while she waited.
Damon talked to her a little bit everyday and wondered if she would end up getting what she wanted... She seemed a bit desperate and didn't do much to bring luck on herself.
"Maybe the spell didn't work because it was for personal gain..." He suggested to her five weeks after their night together.
"I don't see why it wouldn't work! I did everything they asked, I did everything right!" Shelby said in anger before she threw her drink against the wall.
"Hey, calm down... There's no need in getting angry now!" Damon said.
"That's not all that's going on... I'm going home. See you tomorrow Damon!" Shelby said before she grabbed her purse and left the bar to go home.
Shelby wasn't feeling well...
Her menstruation was late and she had this feeling that was nagging her, telling her that her life was about to change... Since the only person she had sex with was Damon, a vampire, she knew that she couldn't possibly be pregnant...right?
After a couple of days with no changes, she decided to buy a pregnancy test and do it... She didn't look at the results and went to the bar right after peeing on the little white stick.
When she left Damon at the bar that same night, she decided to finally look at it...
It was a little blue sign...
