Stefan was working out for past few days on a regular basis. Damon had started to mix little bit of human blood with his animal blood. It felt amazing. But Stefan always wanted to burn the unwanted energy he gets from drinking human blood. He was running through the streets with his headphones on listening to songs and humming them in his head.

He groaned when his phone rings. It was Damon. It had to be Damon. Damon never miss a chance to call him when he's out. What's up with his brother and the protectiveness? He denied the call. Few more calls from Damon and then few from Enzo. He was tired of this. He cut short his run and headed back home.

He entered and saw a pissed off Damon and an annoyed Enzo.
Damon- what the hell Stef!
Stefan- no! What the hell is wrong with you?
Damon- I'm okay, thanks for asking. Your phone is okay. I called, Zee called. So, what was holding you back from receiving my call!
Stefan- I was having a run.
Enzo- but you could have just responded calls.
Stefan- I don't like you two going on weird on me.
Damon- I don't care what you think. We call you, you respond it with a call or a text or email or a letter. I don't care. Just reply except for the time you're in your class. I don't care you're doing homework, or you're in library or a movie theater or hell, reply me.
Stefan- what's gotten into you?
Damon- council is active and if you lose control even for a bit, they will be onto it. So, here is the thing, you stay home as much we possible.
Stefan- but I have a life outside.
Damon- as I said, I don't care. Get ready for school. Be home on time.
Stefan- you're a dick.
Damon- oh please, if you even try to cross me, I will ground you.
Stefan- you're not serious.
Damon- try me. Go.
Stefan looked at Enzo.

Enzo- don't look at me, he's the authority and he's doing this for you. Don't be an idiot Stef.
Stefan- (leaving) he's locking me up.
He left. Enzo glared at Damon.
Damon- don't give me that look. Stefan on even the tiniest bit of human blood freaks me out. I know I'm the one who is being the brand ambassador promoting human blood to Stefan, but still, there is always a worst scenario going on in my head.
Enzo- I'm just saying you're being more hard on him.
Damon- easy way doesn't get in his thick head Zee.

--------------------------------------------------

Damon and Enzo were called at Lockwood mansion by mayor. Damon knocked. He didn't know what they wanted now. A maid opened the door.
Damon- hello sweetheart.
Maid- this way.
She lead them to the office area of the Lockwood mansion. Both entered and saw few council members sitting there.
Enzo- you called us, mayor.
Mayor- yes Enzo. We did.
Carol- about two days later, we have Miss Mystic Falls competition.
Damon- we are aware of that.
Mayor- we want you two to judge it with Mia Fell.
Enzo- us?
Carol- please.
Damon- why not? We will be happy to do it.
Enzo frowned. Damon was really mysterious because his mood and choices change like a coin which is tossed in the air. It change it's side rapidly and so did the Raven haired vampire.

Enzo- of course. I agree with Damon here.
Sheriff- we are happy to have you agree to this.
Damon- anything else we can help with?
Mayor- uh.. no, nothing. Thank you young men.

--------------------------------------------------

Damon and Enzo were ready. They were waiting for Stefan.
Damon- Stefan we are getting late.
Enzo- what is he doing?
Damon- if he's getting late then I'm sure he's shaping his hair.
Enzo- really? I mean... Come on, he's Stefan.
Damon- and he love his hair too much.

Stefan walked up to them.
Enzo- haven't seen you in a suit before Stefan.
Stefan rolled his eyes and walked out of the house.
Damon- this attitude is getting on my nerves baby bro.
Enzo- you're still pouting about that whole thing?
Stefan- look, I am going  to participate in the competition as Elena's escort. Don't ruin my mood, you two.
Damon- stay there near the stairs when they speak your name Stefan. Don't run away.
Stefan- I know what I have to do. Thanks.
Damon shook his head annoyed at behavior of his little brother. This whole, teen attitude isn't his stuff. But hey, want to protect the kid, it's the only option.

Damon and Enzo were sitting in the chairs while the girl's started to descend downstairs. There was no Caroline, or Bonnie this time. Even Anna wasn't there. He was giving marks to the girls. He's Damon Salvatore, and he is the judge of Miss Mystic Falls and that means he can grade the girls. Hot girls to be specific. Nothing could be better than that. He was so lost in the thoughts that he didn't realized that Enzo was calling him.

Damon- yeah?
Enzo- the girl Amber isn't here and so is Stefan. Both are missing.
Damon- not again! This is crazy!
Enzo- get Miss Gilbert a partner Mrs Lockwood.
A boy came forward and danced with Elena. He was a senior. What? Damon was the one who danced with the girl, his girl to be exact. Wait, he can't lose focus. Stefan is missing. He took a deep breath and crossed his legs moving deeper into the chair because he had to hold himself back right now from going and finding his baby brother who is munching on a girl right now.

As soon as the competition was over, he and Enzo met up. Somehow, Elena still wasn't the winner this time. She was upset that Stefan bailed on her.
Elena- how could he..
Damon- this is not the time.
A deputy came over.
Deputy- Mr. Salvatore, Mr. St. John, Sheriff is calling you upstairs.
Damon- we will be on our way.
He nodded and left.

Damon- what happened upstairs Elena?
Elena- I was the one to call him upstairs because he was being distant. We had a fight. Then Mrs. Lockwood called him downstairs and then I don't know.
Damon- Enzo, go upstairs and give any excuse about me. Come outside as soon as you can because we are going to see a nasty Stefan. I'll need your help.
Enzo- I'll be there. Go.

Damon ran to the place where he knew Stefan would be. Elena was following him.
Damon- I said go back in.
Elena- I can't leave him alone.
Damon wanted to compel her away at this moment. She was annoying him and distracting him.

He saw Stefan feeding on Amber.
Damon- Stef.
Stefan didn't stopped.
Elena- Stefan!
Damon- Stef you will kill her. Stefan!
Stefan turned around and looked at him. The girl falls limp on ground. His face was covered in blood.
Damon- breath baby brother, calm down.
He walked over and he was ready for the attack that was coming. He ditched it easily. Stefan used his speed to run away but Enzo blocked his path.
Enzo- not so easy kiddo.
Before Stefan reacts, Damon snapped his neck.
Damon- that's more like it.

Enzo- take him home. I'll handle here.
Damon nodded and left carrying Stefan. He locked Stefan in the basement again. He wanted this to be different. It will be. He won't give up this easily. He will do it after he thinks things will be pretty okay. He brushed some hair back from Stefan's head and vervained vervained him. He gently kissed the top of his brother's head.
Damon- I'm sorry baby bro.

He was having a drink. Few minutes later, Elena and Enzo entered.
Elena- where is he?
Damon- locked in the basement.
Enzo- you think it's okay?
Damon nods.
Elena- I will go see him.
Damon blocked her way.
Damon- go home Elena.
Elena- move aside.
Damon's veins popped up and his eyes turned to the color of red.
Damon- go home and rest.
Elena- I have to see him.
Damon- front door is over there.
Elena- I hate you!
She left turning away from him.

Enzo- what was that?
Damon- I'm trying to keep her out of everything.
Enzo- well, whatever you think is best, mate.
He also poured a drink. Both settled down across each other.
Damon- what did you told Sheriff? About us?
Enzo- Stefan wasn't feeling well but yet he participated. We were shocked that he bailed on Elena. You left earlier because you were worried about Stefan.
Damon- and how about finding Amber girl?
Enzo- Elena was out calling Stefan about his behavior today. That was when she saw Amber. She called me immediately.
Damon- It worked out well.
Enzo- it has to.
Both the Vampires stayed there without speaking a word. Both worried about the younger vampire unconscious in the dungeon. But everyone knows it is for the greater good.
