Damon now held Vicki's head looking into her eyes, "Stefan Salvatore did this to you."

"Stefan Salvatore did this to me," Vicki repeated back to him.

"He's a vampire," Damon smirked. "A vicious, murderous monster."

Aella ran to the building, she saw the three figures on it and looked up. She knew somehow she could use her air magic to allow the sound to travel to her, but she hadn't practiced that and didn't think now was the time. Instead, she recalled a spell she saw in her grandmother's Grimoire, " Soat sunt soni quidam errantes audiente me sic procul . "

Instantly, it was like she was on the roof with the three of them, and her stomach twisted when she heard her boyfriend begging Damon, " Please, Damon, Please don't do this. "

" If you couldn't fix it before, I don't know what you can do now. "

Aella heard something rip, and Vicki screamed in agony, " Aah! "

" Ugh, " Damon spat. "Y our choice of lifestyle has made you weak. A couple of vampire parlor tricks are nothing compared to the power you could have, which you now need. But you can change that. Human blood gives you that. "

Aella frowned, Stefan had told her of him drinking animal blood, but she didn't know it made him so much weaker than if he drank human blood. Wasn't blood, just blood?

" You have two choices, " Damon started talking again. This guy really liked the sound of his own voice. " You can feed and make her forget. Or you can let her run, screaming ' vampire ' through the town square. "

"That's what this is about? You want to expose me? "

" No! I want you to remember who you are! "

" Why? So what, so I'll feed? So I'll kill? So I'll remember what it's like to be brothers again? You know what, let her go. Let her tell everyone that vampires have returned to Mystic Falls. Let them chain me up, and let them drive a stake through my heart because at least I'll be free of you. "

Aella wanted to throw Damon off the roof and ground her teeth in anger as he continued to bully and belittle Stefan.

Stefan glared at his brother when suddenly Damon fell back a bit towards the edge of the building. Damon looked to Stefan immediately in alarm, "What was that?"

Stefan shook his head, but he knew it was, and from the scent coming from the stairs on the side of the building, he knew it was Aella, he just didn't know how if she wasn't facing Damon.

Damon shook the incident off and instead concentrated on Vicki, "Huh. Wow. Come here, sweetheart."

"No!" She sobbed, stepping backward towards Stefan.

"It's okay." Damon nodded and pulled Vicki towards him, gently stopping at her ear rather than her neck and whispering in her ear.

Damon soon pushed Vicki towards Stefan and sped away. "What happened? Where am I?" Vicki suddenly asked, very confused and then felt something wet on her neck, "Oh, I ripped my stitches open. Ugh..."

"You okay?" Stefan cautiously asked.

Vicki nodded, looking around where she stood before she stumbled over to the stairs.

Aella noticed the noise of someone using the side stairs, and when she saw Vicki coming down alive, she breathed a sigh of relief. She went to the start of the stairs and took Vicki's hand, "Thank God you're okay, Vick."

"What?" Vicki questioned, disoriented, stumbling into Aella's body.

"You went missing," Aella reminded her. "I just found you here."

"Did you?" Vicki looked around bewildered, and Aella realized Damon must have really done a number on her. "Thank you, I guess."

Aella shook her head, taking hold of Vicki and starting the walk back to the Grill at a slow pace, "It's no problem."

Vicki frowned, looking at the shorter girl, "I think you're just being nice."

Aella snorted, "I think if you ask around, you'll discover that's unlikely."

Vicki grinned and leaned closer to Aella, feeling weaker than ever. Aella started struggling with Vicki halfway. Suddenly, Vicki's weight was gone, and she looked to the other side of Vicki to see Stefan holding up the girl.

"Stefan," she sighed in relief at seeing her boyfriend. "Are you okay?"

Stefan nodded, but Aella could see he wasn't honest, but she didn't push; she knew that it would be better to talk when no one was around.

MYSTIC GRILL

When they got inside the Grill, Matt quickly grabbed Vicki and a first aid kit, sitting Vicki down as Aella and Stefan made their way to a booth near their group. Bonnie and Caroline were already seated on one side, so Stefan stepped in first, and Aella crawled onto the bench seat before falling into Stefan with a massive sigh.

"Well, that was an exhausting night," she sighed, smiling when Stefan lifted her up with ease and rested her between his legs again. They were soon figuring out this was their go-to position.

"Ugh, it's just so much drama. I never realized how much Vicki was such an attention whore?" Caroline shockingly told them which had them all chuckling as quiet as they could.

Matt helped Vicki with her bandage; once that was done, he made his way over to Aella and Stefan, "Hey guys." He greeted, drawing their attention to him, "Vick said you found her wandering around?"

Aella looked up at Stefan from her laid down position on him, and he answered for the both of them, "Yeah."

"Thank you."

They both smiled at him, and he walked back over to Vicki, who now sat with Tyler. The four watched as Tyler moved closer to Vicki and then started kissing her, with her kissing him back. Even worse, Jeremy had just walked in after hearing about Vicki.

"Harsh," Bonnie sighed, seeing the look on Jeremy's face.

Aella sighed, wanting to go up and punch Tyler and hug Jeremy, but she knew he wouldn't like that. Stefan rubbed her arm and leaned down to her, "Want to get out of here and watch the comet at mine?"

Aella nodded and slid out the booth, walking around to her best friend and cousin, hugging them goodnight. When Aella hugged Caroline, she whispered in the blonde's ear, "Goodnight number one."

Caroline laughed in her ear and squeezed back, "Goodnight, number on."

Aella took Stefan's open hand and squeezed it, pulling his arm towards and wrapping both her arms around that. They waved everyone goodnight to everyone and headed to Aella's car, Aella handing the keys to Stefan.

Once the new couple left, everyone else seemed to filter out too. Jeremy went home with Elena, getting a ride from Bonnie. Vicki left with Matt and Tyler while Caroline finished off her drink.

As Caroline walked to her car, she heard a noise and stopped what she was doing, she glanced around, and when she saw nothing, she continued on. She got to her car but dropped her keys, grabbing them and standing up. When she turned back to her car, Damon was in front of her leaning against her car.

"Oh... whoa!"

"Sorry," Damon apologized, holding his hands up. "Didn't mean to scare you.

"No, it's fine," she smiled at him. "Um... I was hoping I'd see you again."

"I know," he smiled smugly at her.

Caroline laughed, raising an eyebrow, "Cocky much?"

"Very much."

SALVATORE HOUSE

Stefan's hands ran down her sides until they landed on her ass, and he squeezed lightly, "Up." They had watched the comet fly over the house and now was time for some fun.

It was so easy for her to leap up into his arms, and he clutched Aella tightly to him as their lips finally connected in an intense kiss. She wasn't feeling exhausted anymore as she felt him beneath her as he turned them back towards the bed. Swiftly she was flat on her back, and he was hovering over her, Aella stared up at him, breaths coming in gasps as he panted down at her. He leaned down to press kisses down along her jaw, nipping at her delicate skin as he went.

Stefan let his hands trail down her sides, gently squeezing at her hips until he was firmly squeezing at her butt as he pulled Aella against him. She squealed as he held her tightly against him, towering over her smaller frame as he nudged at her nose until he could reach Aella's lips when suddenly she yawned.

Aella started giggling as Stefan groaned, dropping his forehead to hers, "Okay," he pulled away, pulling off his top. "We need to get you into some clothes."

"Ooh la la," Aella smirked, admiring his beautiful body. He threw the shirt at her, the article of clothing landing on her head, and sent her into giggles.

"Do you want some water before you go to sleep?" He asked, walking to the door.

"Yes, please," she smiled wide, standing up and pulling off her boots.

Stefan nodded and walked down to the kitchen at an average pace, he tried listening for Damon, but he couldn't hear his brother, which nerved him. When he was pouring the water, he could hear Aella cursing as she fell with a 'bang' taking off her trousers, he presumed. However, the same could have happened when taking off a necklace, knowing Aella.

When he returned to his room, she had fallen asleep already on top of his covers. She had chosen to wear his shirt and underwear only, a sight that had Stefan stirring in his jeans. He walked over to her, pulling the covers from under her and tucking her in. He took his jeans off, climbed into bed with just his boxers on, pulled the covers over him, and snuggled closer to Aella. Automatically she adjusted herself, so she was curled up in his arms and had a sleepy smile on her face.

"Night Dracula."

Stefan smirked, kissing her head, "Night Sabrina."

..............................................

..............................................

Aella knew she was in a vision again, even from the safety of Stefan's arms, she was still invaded by a vision. When she looked around, she noticed she was in Caroline's house, a house she knew as good as hers. Stumbling through the house, she wondered to herself why she was here?

A loud moan filled the house that made even sleepy Aella smirk, and her feet, against her wishes, moved towards the sound.

Moving down the corridor, the moans grew louder and louder until she was standing outside Caroline's door. Looking down the hallway, she could see Liz's room open, meaning the Sheriff was still working.

Opening the door, Aella looked in, against her will, to see her best friend laid in bed in just her bra and panties as a raven-haired man kissed his way up her stomach.

Just from the hair, Aella knew who it was, and she felt a kind of fear she had never felt before, quickly she waved her hand to throw him off her friend, but her magic did work in her visual world. Damon looked up as Caroline writhed in ecstasy, he smirked evilly, "No!" Aella cried, trying to move, but her feet felt like they were encased in concrete. "No, Caroline! Runaway!"

Damon's face changed similar to the one Stefan was so hesitant to share with her, only Damon's looked different from Stefan's; he looked evil.

He opened his mouth wide and bit into her best friend's stomach, making her cry out in agony as Aella screamed from her own pain of watching. "Nooooo-"

"-Nooooooo!" Aella shot up screaming and crying surprising Stefan, who quickly grabbed her in his arms.

"Shush, I got you," he repeated against her head as her tears fell on his bare chest.

"Caroline," she sobbed against his chest. "Oh, Caroline."

"Aella," Stefan nudged her as her sobs settled into quiet cries. "What happened?"

She wiped her tears and pulled back slightly. Still, Stefan stroked her cheek in a comforting motion, "I have these dreams, they can turn into visions. There's always this difference, it's hard to explain... They just feel different."

"And this one did?"

"Yes," she nodded, her green eyes started filling with tears. "It felt so real, and I could do nothi-" she paused and looked up at Stefan, eyes wide. "She was with Damon, oh my god, I think she's in trouble."

She jumped out of Stefan's arms and ran to her jeans resting on the chair, as he pulled his jeans on, not for a second thinking she was crazy. He knew plenty of witches who had premonitions. Obviously, Aella's had not grown through them correctly yet, or she would be able to tell the difference from a vision and a dream.

She pulled Stefan's shirt off, throwing it at him, which he caught with ease, and pulled her own top on. She grabbed her keys and ran out, not even bothering to put her boots on.

Stefan sped down the stairs and stopped her just as she reached her car, she looked up at him in protest, but he only took the keys from her, "I'll drive, you direct."

Aella didn't bother to answer and instead ran to the other side of her car, jumping in. Stefan didn't waste time and put his foot on the gas pedal, the wheels skidding as the car shot forward.

"Tell me what happened?" He asked her after she directed him right.

Aella bit at her lip, a nervous habit she hated, but never noticed until they were sore after. "Caroline was lying in bed, and Damon was on top of her, she only had her underwear on. Turn left here. Then his face changed, and he bit down on her stomach. Turn right here."

Aella shook her head as the tears started to fall again, pulling at the loose hair that had freed itself from the French plait she had been sleeping in. "She was so scared, and I need to make sure she doesn't get scared, I have to protect her. She's my num-" her voice broke, and Stefan finished her sentence for her.

"-Number One," Stefan smiled at her, taking her hand. "I heard.

Aella squeezed his hand back then looked back at the road directing him, "Take the next right here, and the first left and Caroline house should have her car parked in front."

FORBES HOUSE

When Stefan saw Caroline's car, he pulled up to the house, and Aella was running out of the car before it had even stopped. She slammed open the door and ran to Caroline's room just as the same scream from her vision rang in her ears, "Caroline!"

She slammed open Caroline's door, and Damon looked up growling, speeding towards her as he stared into her eyes, "You didn't see this, Caroline is not hurt."

When Aella didn't repeat the words and instead smirked, as Damon looked on confused, Aella was able to raise her hand. With a flick of her hand, Aella threw him across the room, smirking as he landed in the corner with a bang, "Nice try, asshole."

She saw Caroline's window open as he looked up at her in shock. Her eyes fell to her best friend, the blonde crying in her bed, knees drawn up to her body to protect her, but when she looked back at Damon, he was gone as the curtain blew in the wind.

Stefan ran in just to see his brother escape and saw the mess on Caroline floor, "Is she okay?"

Aella nodded and ran to her best friend when Caroline immediately jumped at Aella, clinging to her best friend, "Thank god you're here," she sobbed.

Aella shushed Caroline holding her close, just as Stefan did to her only minutes before. When she saw the blood on Caroline's stomach, she reached for a tissue and wiped the blood, apologizing to Caroline when she hissed in pain.

A few minutes later, Stefan came back in with a glass of water, "Thank you," Aella whispered to him.

He nodded, taking a seat on the side of the bed next to Aella and noticed she had wrapped Caroline's dressing-gown around her. She held out the glass to the blonde, who immediately started guzzling it down.

Caroline then pulled back with a frown wiping her tears with her sleeve, "Aella, what the hell are you?"

Aella looked at her, eye wide as she laughed sheepishly, "Well funny story, Caroline."

"I'm listening," Caroline squinted at her, taking a gulp of her water, tears drying up as she focused on something else.

"I'm a witch."

"What?!" Caroline choked, spitting water from her mouth all over Aella's face.

Aella smiled tightly, eyes closed as the water fell down her face, Stefan chuckled reaching over and wiping her face with the corner of the blanket near him. She opened her eyes looking at Stefan with a slight smile, "That was a much better reaction than what I was expecting."

"You're a witch and you didn't tell me!"

Aella winced, refusing to look at Caroline as Stefan smirked, "That's more like it." She turned to a now glaring Caroline and did jazz hands at Caroline, " Surprise! "
