24. New Start

Rory's outfi
💫
Damon and Rory walked downstairs to see two dead girls on the bottom of the stairs. They walked over the body to see Stefan in the living room with a few girls playing Twister."
"Uh-oh. Alexandra, left hand, please." Stefan said and the girl gave her hand to him and he bites her wrist.
"Hey, the two brunettes on the staircase owe me a Persian rug." Damon said
"You mean, they owe us a Persian rug? It's my house, too, brother. Ooh! Would you like a spin?" He asked
"You can play too, Rory. We could use your lovely blood." He said.
"So this is what Klaus had in mind when he compelled you to protect Rory?" Damon asked
"These ladies are helping me be all that I can be. Besides, you've done this before." He said
"At least when it was Damon, we weren't together." Rory crossed her arms.
Someone then knocked on the door and Damon answered it
"Where's Rory?" Rebekah asked
"Who the hell are you?" Damon asked.
"He left me here. My brother actually left me here." She walked past Damon, into the house
"Oh, I'm sorry. Your tone implies that I'm actually supposed to care." Stefan said
"You're Klaus' sister?" Damon asked.
"Rebekah. Pleasure, I'm sure. Which one's my room? Or am I sharing with Rory?" Rebekah asked
"You're not staying here." Stefan said and Rebekah turned to Damon who was silent.
"Rude. Both of you. I'll see to it myself. Cute pyjamas." She looked over at Rory before she walked upstairs
"So I guess she's staying here."
"It will be nice to have a girl here. Instead of the overbearing testosterone." Rory then walked upstairs.
💫
Rory walked to the couch where Damon was and laid across the couch with her head on his lap
"Is it weird?" He asked
"Not being at school? Yes." She nodded.
"That and the fact that your boyfriend has officially turned off his humanity." He said
"I just don't understand it. Everything over the summer was great, they got along and everything was fine. But then as soon as we return here. Done." She snapped her fingers.
"I'm just frustrated." She sighed,
"I know what could help with that." He trailed his fingers through her hair
"What?" Rory asked him.
"A nice relaxing shower." Damon suggested,
"Maybe." She sighed
"I could go get snacks and we can cuddle while watching the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders." He told her.
"Okay." She moved off him and then walked upstairs
"Unless you'd like some company?" Damon shouted up
"No! I'd like some M&Ms though!" She shouted back and he chuckled.
💫
Rory's Outfit
💫
Rory, Alaric, Damon, Elena and Caroline all stood in Alaric's classroom as the bonfire started
"I'll lure Stefan away from the bonfire. Then when he's distracted..." Rory started
"I'll shoot him." Alaric finished her sentence.
"Can't Bonnie just ju-ju him or something?" Damon asked
"I'm trying to keep Bonnie out of this. I don't want her to get hurt." Rory answered
"Caroline, are you covered?" Elena asked her friend.
"Yes! I will make sure that the old Forbes jail cell is prepped and ready." Caroline said
"We're forgetting a key player here. Rebekah? Wherever Stefan goes, the blonde ponytail tends to follow." Damon said
"Which is why it's your job to keep her away." Rory turned to him.
"How?! She's an Original. Last time I checked, we're out of daggers." Rory gave him a look
"So then preoccupy her with your charm." She fake smiled at him
"Why do I have to do it?" He asked.
"Because, it's payback for watching Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders without me." She told him
"It was on for background noise." He defended.
"I don't care! I'll come with you with Rebekah, just so she knows you're not hitting on her."
"That doesn't make sense." Elena said
"It does, when he's nice to her it can be like a peace offering. 'I don't find you attractive but our soulmates are and it's good to have allies for threesomes.' See." She said.
"Might have better luck finding the dagger." Alaric said.
"Are you ever not going to be mad at me, Ric?" Damon asked
"Doubtful." Just then Tyler walked in
"Sorry I'm late. What's going on?" He asked.
"We need you to raid your mom's vervain supply. Enough to keep Stefan down for a while." Elena said
"You can't do that to Stefan." Tyler objected
"Why not?" Caroline asked.
"Trust me, Tyler, it's in his best interest." Elena told him
"Yeah. It's not in Klaus'." Tyler said
"But Klaus is the bad guy, Tyler. You know, why are you acting like some freaky, hybrid, slave minion." Caroline asked.
"Uh-oh." Rory looked at Damon
"What?" She asked
"Klaus made me who I am, Caroline. I owe him everything." Tyler said.
"Oh, boy." Damon said
"Okay, can we cool it on the commentary, please." Caroline turned to him
"What is going on?" Rory noticed Damon taking a vervain dart off the desk.
"I'm just going to go." Tyler went to walk out the door when Damon rushed over behind him and stabbed him with the dark, making Tyler collapse.
"What are you doing?!" Caroline asked.
"He's been sired." Damon said
"What?" Alaric asked
"Sired. He feels loyal to Klaus because Klaus' blood created him." He explained.
"How loyal is loyal?" Rory asked
"He'll seek acceptance from his master. It's really rare. But maybe not so much in hybrids." He said
"Great." Rory muttered.
"So how do I fix him?" Caroline looked up at Damon
"Get a new boyfriend." He told her
"Not helping as usual." Rory sighed.
💫
Rebekah sat near the campfire, holding a marshmallow over it with a stick when Damon and Rory sit next to her.
"What? No friends your own age?" She asked
"Like you can talk." Damon said.
Rebekah then brought the burning marshmallow to her mouth then blew it out
"Is this supposed to be fun? I've been through 10 of these." She said
"No, you're just looking at it all wrong. This is a little rough on the outside." He then took the burnt layer out of the marshmallow.
"Gimme." Rory held out her hand and he gave her the burnt layer for her to eat
"But the inside...Yum." He gave her back the stick and she ate the marshmallow
"Mmm. It's good." She nodded.
"Yep."
💫
"Can't believe you've never had one of these before." Rory said as she made a s'more for her
"Well, I've been in a casket for ninety years." Rebekah said
"My bad." She winced and Rebekah at the s'more.
"Why are you being so nice to me? You hate me. You should be mean." She turned to Damon
"Well, I could be mean if that's what you're into." Rory gave him a look
"Fine, you caught me. Rory said for me to be nice as a piece offering so we could all a have a threesome."
"Right, I'm getting a drink. And die." Rory walked off.
💫
Rory found herself laying on the bleacher while looking up at the sky.
"I used to know every constellation. How did I forget them all? I was a fucking nerd." Rory said
"You're drunk. You need to go home." Stefan said.
"Fine. Unh. Let me find my car." Rory got up
"You're joking, right?" Stefan asked her
"Uh-oh. It's the fun police. I thought that ripper Stefan was supposed to be the life of the party like he was in the 20s." She told him.
"Well, all right, I'm driving you home. Come on." He told her and she climbed over the railing
"What are you, five? Get down." He told her
"Why? Are you afraid that I'm going to..." Rory pretended to fall and Stefan heart jumped.
"Oh. Ha. That was close. Klaus would not be happy with you." She laughed
"You're hilarious." He told her
"Look, Stefan, no hands." She let go of the railing but caught it just in time.
Rory laughed but then actually slipped making her fall and Stefan quickly caught her
"I don't know about you but I was actually terrified." She laughed and Stefan put her on the ground safely. Then Stefan groaned in pain as Rory turned to see Alaric with a vervain dart gun.
"You okay?" Alaric asked as he approached Rory as she looked at now unconscious Stefan
"Yeah. I'm...Fine." She sighed
"You look, uh, not okay." He said.
"The plan worked. That's all that matters. Let's just get him out of here." She opened his trunk and Alaric put Stefan into it and Rory sits in the passenger seat.
Then all of a sudden Rory noticed flames in the car and Alaric came to the door
"Rory! Rory! Open the door!" He shouted and Rory tried
"I can't! It won't open! What the fuck?" She asked.
"I'm sorry, Rory." Alaric tries to break the window with the lacrosse stick but it doesn't work and the fire grew stronger and Rory felt her throat closing up
"Stefan!" She shouted and he woke up breaking kicking open the trunk.
Stefan helped her out the car with Alaric
"Hurry up before it blows!" He shouted
"Wait! Wait, wait, wait!" Rory grabbed Stefan and they rush away from the car as it exploded.
💫
Damon lifted Rory onto the bathroom counter and got the first aid kit to help heal her burn on her cheek
"This seems vaguely familiar." She sighed
"Yeah, I don't think you can use the Christian Grey excuse for this one." He told her.
"Tried temperature play, didn't go to plan?" She suggested and he chuckled.
"So, have you heard from Klaus?" Damon asked
"No, I mean I don't want to. I miss him but I can't just be so easily forgiving." She explained
"And fuck knows what Stefan's gonna do." She groaned.
"Well, hopefully his humanity comes back, Klaus apologies and we all sing Kumbaya." Damon said
"And the likeliness of that happening?" She asked
"Negative 1000." He smiled.
"Great." She sighed
"Don't worry, Elena and Ric are sorting out the issue." He gave her a look
"Right, the very annoying issue of Stefan Salvatore." She nodded.
💫
"So it's done?" Rory asked over the phone
"Yep. He is in the cell." Elena confirmed
"Thank you, sorry I couldn't be there." She said.
"No, it's completely fine, you've had a rough night." Elena said
"Yeah." Rory sighed
"I'll let you get some rest." Elena said to her.
"Yeah, definitely need some post death experience relaxation." Rory chuckled
"Definitely, I'll see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow." Rory hung up the phone.
Damon then lifts his head from under the covers as he kissed her stomach,
"How's this for post death experience relaxation?" He asked her.
"Amazing." She told him and he chuckled then went back under the covers as Rory sighed with content.
💫
Rory's outfit
💫
Rory walked downstairs to see Damon in chains and a hot poker chest
"What the fuck happened to you?"
"I don't know, I thought it was Stefan but obviously he's unable at the moment." Damon said.
Rory then found gloves by the fireplace then walked to him and looked at the chains
"It's pretty kinky though, isn't it?" She said
"Not the time." Damon told her and she took the poker out of his chest making him scream in pain.
Rory then went to remove the chains when she then left the room
"Yeah, not to worry. I'll just untangle myself." Damon shouted
"I'm getting some for it!" She shouted back when she then heard him screaming.
"One second!" She shouted and then walked back in to see his skin burning as the curtains are open making the sun shine on him.
"Shit." She ran and closed the curtains then faced him
"Sorry." She winced.
💫
Bonnie and Caroline were talking when Damon parked up beside them with Rory in the passenger seat
"Greetings, blondie. Witchy. I think you got your voodoo wires all crossed when you got rid of Vicki Donovan." Damon told Bonnie.
"What do you mean, why?" Bonnie asked
"Because I'm pretty sure I just got spit-roasted by Mason Lockwood's ghost." He said
"What?" Bonnie asked.
"And why would you think that?" Caroline asked
"Maybe because he chained me to a chair and shoved a hot poker in my chest. Let's just say I'm having déjà vu." He said
"Yeah, it wasn't pretty." Rory nodded.
"I thought you said that ghosts couldn't physically interact with people." Caroline said to Bonnie
"They can't." Bonnie told her
"Yeah, well, I don't have time for a vengeful Lockwood. When I kill someone, they're supposed to stay dead. Whatever you screwed up, fix it." He said and then drove off.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Damon asked
"Yeah, I mean I have to at some point." Rory sighed
"Got your key?" He asked and she nodded.
💫
Rory stood in front of Shelia's house with the key in her hand. She took a deep breath before walking up the steps and unlocking the house, and stepping inside. She walked through to where all the books were and scanned them all.
She then felt a presence behind her and then heard something fall and quickly turned around to see a book had fallen.
"Right, that's not fucking creepy." She whispered and then kneeled down to the book.
Blood Rituals
Using Blood in Magic
"Creepy." She whispered when she then got a text from Stefan.
Hey, sorry for the way I acted. Humanity is back on. Meet me in the woods.
Rory then heard a noise coming from the back of the house and she walked through the house to see the backdoor was open that led to the woods. Rory turned back to the house with a sad smile.
"Bye, Shelia." She said before closing the door and started to walk through the woods.
💫
Rory felt like she was walking for hours, it was now dark and her legs started to hurt.
"I need a fucking tracker for that guy's phone." She muttered when she saw silhouettes of people and a fire.
As she walked closer she heard slight chants in latin, the figures wore black hoods. As she walked closer she saw a figure with no hood, a woman. A person she didn't expect to see. A person from the past. Just like her dream.
"Filia." Tears welled in her eyes as she had heard that word over and over when she was little.
Daughter.
She presumed her biological mother was dead or went to a country across the world.
Rory walked back slowly as the others around her 'mother' turned to her and she then turned and quickly ran as much as her legs could power through her. The chanting began to get louder and louder as tears ran down her face.
She then ran into a place and the door slammed shut behind her and all she saw was black. She got her phone and put on the flash when she saw a name.
Giuseppe Salvatore
"No." She whispered as she tried to push the door open but nothing happened. She got her phone out and tried to call Damon but the call failed so she sent messages and sat on the floor as tears ran down her face.
"Rory." Rory screamed as she turned to see Shelia sitting beside her in the light of her phone flashlight.
"Shelia?" She asked.
"Hi, sweetheart."
"Oh my fucking god am I dead?" Rory asked
"No, you're not." Shelia told her.
"And you still are..." Shelia nodded
"How are you here?" Rory asked
"The veil was lifted between this world and a different one." She said.
"So ghosts." Rory said
"Yes, the veil should be back soon, I just had to see you." Shelia told her
"Why didn't you let me save you?" Rory asked and Shelia touched her cheek.
"Because I knew, I knew it was my time." She kissed her head and Rory closed her eyes, focusing on her touch for when she opened her eyes again she was gone.
Leaving Rory all over again.
💫
Damon sped over to the family crypt and broke the door open to see Rory in the corner with her knees pressed into her chest
"Baby?" He whispered and she looked up to see him and instantly clung onto him as her whole body shook.
"It's okay, it's okay. You're safe." He told her as she began to sob.
"It's okay. I'm here." He kissed her shoulder in comfort.
