*Chapter Fourteen* {Lost Girls}
"Good morning, love" Alvina whispers running her fingers through Jeremy's hair. She's been awake for about a half an hour. She didn't have the heart to wake him up, especially since she's so comfortable and at peace with his head laying on her chest, his arms hugging her body.
Jeremy only grunts in reply, his grip around her tightening. Alvina smiles and kisses the top of his head. Her eyes notice her phone laying on the floor and remembers Stefan calling her the previous night. Curiosity fills her mind as she extends a hand. She points at it with her finger and then rotates her finger in a circular motion.
A small tornado forms under the phone, lifting it. Alvina grins as she brings the tornado towards her which brings the phone to her as well. Once Alvina grabs the phone the tornado disappears.
"That was awesome" Jeremy mumbles. Alvina grins and kisses the top of his head again, still massaging it with her one free hand. She turns her phone on and waits for it to wake up.
"Geeze" Alvina mutters seeing half a dozen phone calls and just as many texts from Stefan. She looks through the messages, her eyes widening slightly. "Oh, shit" She whispers sitting up, forcing Jeremy to lift off of her.
"What's wrong?" Jeremy asks.
"Damon's killed Zach" Alvina whispers. "Stefan drugged Damon and trapped him in the basement, Zach must have gotten too close or something."
"Were you close to him?" Jeremy asks. Alvina shrugs.
"Not really, I knew him but he was my cover dad. That could make things complicated" Alvina mumbles climbing out of bed.
"Where are you going?" Jeremy asks.
"To go slap Damon upside the head for killing his own nephew" Alvina answers him nonchalantly.
"You're sexy when you're determined" Jeremy winks at her, laying on his side. Alvina grins and winks back at him. She had just finished getting dressed when Elena barges into the room. "What the fuck, Elena?!" Jeremy shouted.
"Out" Elena snapped looking at Alvina.
"Excuse me?" Alvina asks tilting her head.
"I want you out of my house, right now" Elena practically shouted. "I don't want you around my brother, I don't want you around here, I want you to leave"
"Elena that's not your decision to make" Jeremy snapped sitting up. "She's my girlfriend"
"I know what you really are," Elena said marching up to her. "Stefan told me. I'm not going to let you use my brother"
"I have never used your brother," Alvina told her. "I love you brother and if you know what I am then you should be wiser and not piss me off" Alvina growled glaring at her.
"Jeremy isn't safe with you," Elena said.
"I'm safer with her than without her" Jeremy climbs out of bed, holding the sheet around his waist. "She's safer than Stefan, who is still your boyfriend" He points out.
"I don't know what I'm going to do about Stefan" Elena confesses.
"You don't know?" Jeremy scoffs. "Don't give me relationship advice if you can't even figure out what your relationship is"
"This world that they're apart of, we don't belong in it. It's not safe"
"I don't care," Jeremy told her. "If you don't want to be apart of it then fine. You don't want to be with Stefan because of it then fine. But don't tell me to end things with Alvina when I'm perfectly alright with what she is, with who she is. I don't care if her world is dangerous. I love her, I'll face the dangers right next to her."
"Jeremy, I-"
"It. Is. Not. Your. Decision." Jeremy told her slowly.
"Did you let Stefan explain everything or did you just jump to conclusions?" Alvina asks tilting her head crossing her arms.
"He told me enough" Elena snipped.
"I doubt that," Alvina says walking up to her. "Let me give you a crash course on what's going to happen if I leave Jeremy. You see these?" She asks showing her the soul-marks on one wrist. "You see that J.G.? You see how it's gold instead of black? That means that Jeremy and I have completed the bond. If I leave him then we'll both spiral into insanity and depression. But hey, if you wanna subject your little brother to that then, by all means, I'm sure it'll make you the number one sister in the world" Alvina steps closer to her. "Or you can just leave us the fuck alone" She snipped. "Oh, word of warning, I tend to become murderous when I slip into insanity, it's happened before, it wasn't pretty. Who do you think would be at the top of my list?" Alvina tilts her head.
"It's your life, Elena, do what you want," Jeremy says gaining her sisters' attention. "And this is my life and my life is Alvina whether you like it or not."
"Very romantic" Alvina whispers kissing his cheek. "Now, if you two will excuse me I have some things I need to sort out"
"Wait, I'll get dressed," Jeremy says. Alvina smiles liking that he wants to come with her.
"Jeremy-"
"No, Elena" Jeremy snapped. "Get out of my room," He said. Elena presses her lips together and reluctantly leaves.
"I remember her saying she was gonna be nice to me" Alvina mutters. "So much for that" Jeremy gives her a small smile but Alvina could see that he's upset. "She'll come around eventually," Alvina says watching him get dressed. "This is all new to her, she doesn't know what to think."
"I just wish she would drop the mothering act," Jeremy tells her pulling on a shirt. "I'm her brother, not her son."
"I know" Alvina kisses him on the cheek. "But at the same time, you and Jenna are all she has, family-wise. She's just trying to protect you from something she doesn't understand."
"Just because she doesn't understand something doesn't mean-" Alvina kisses his lips holding him close to her.
"Relax" She whispers. "I'm just trying to see why Elena's acting the way she is. I'm not going anywhere, she's not going to separate us. I love you" Jeremy smiles and hugs her. Alvina nuzzles into his neck and kisses the mark she made. He grips her tighter as a shiver runs down his spine. "We should get going"
Alvina leads Jeremy out of the room, down the steps and out the door. Thankfully they managed to escape without another encounter with Elena. They both climb into Damon's car and drive to the Boarding house.
"When we get there, I want you to stay right beside me. Stefan was in the process of starving Damon the last time I saw him. If he's hungry he'll be even more unpredictable than normal. I can protect you but I want you close."
"Of course, no place I'd rather be" He grins at her. She smiles holding his hand as she sped down the road. Alvina parks the car by the entrance.
"Drink up. Drink it up. Don't drip" Alvina can hear Damon talking to someone inside the house. Alvina climbs out of the car with Jeremy.
"I think maybe you should stay in the car," Alvina says to Jeremy as she realizes who's in the house with Damon. She can smell her.
"What happened to sticking together?" Jeremy asks.
"You'll be safer out here. Stefan has Damon's daylight ring, Damon won't be able to get to you out here." Alvina walks around the car and stops in front of him. "Please?" She whispers. "I won't be too long."
"Fine" Jeremy whispers leaning against the car pouting. Alvina grins and gives him a kiss before walking into the house.
"Damon?" Alvina asks walking into the house. She instantly notices all the blinds are drawn.
"Well, it's about time you show up" Alvina turns to Damon and smirks. He crosses his arms and gives her an annoyed look. "Where have you been?"
"Getting laid" She shrugs. "I see you escaped, knew you had it in ya" She grins stepping into the shadows. Damon grabs her and slams her against the wall.
"You didn't help me out" He growled. "And I know you know where my ring is" She starts to laugh.
"You know me, Damon," She says. "Do you really think this is a good idea?" She growled. "I've already had one person test my patience, I have no problem losing it on you" She warns. Damon glares and steps back. She straightens her shirt. "I told you I wasn't getting involved. You're the one who got outsmarted, it's not my fault." He rolls his eyes and walks back into the parlor. "I heard you killed Zach"
"So what?" Damon shrugs.
"He was your nephew, Damon. What the fuck?" Damon rolls his eyes again and doesn't even bother replying. "If you're gonna be bad, be bad with a purpose. Otherwise, you're just a worthless dick. You didn't have to kill Zach."
"It's done, it's over, don't dwell on it" Damon advises her. Alvina smirks and walks up to him. She grips his arms and sends shocks of electricity through his body. He groans and falls to his knees.
"Fine, I won't dwell on it, not like he was my nephew" She lets him go. He glares at her and comes to a stand quickly. She gives him a warning look. He sighs and turns away from her.
"Did you come over here just to electrocute me?"
"Not just" She shrugs smirking.
"You wanna see how dangerous I'm feeling" Damon smirks at her. "That's why you didn't bring your boy toy inside with you. You don't trust me, do you?" He stalks back toward her.
"I do trust you, Damon" She nods. "I trust you with a lot of things. I trust you with my secrets, my life but I do not trust you with his life." He shrugs not taking offense to it. Alvina hears a groan and finally notices Vicki on the couch. "Are you going to kill her?"
"Depends on how the day goes" Damon shrugs. Alvina sighs knowing she would be dead before nightfall. She hopes Jeremy doesn't take it hard. She knows how close he was with her. She knows he still considers her a friend.
"If you do kill her, get it over with. Don't drag it out" She tells him.
"No promises" Damon winks at her. Alvina rolls her eyes. "Why don't you invite pretty boy inside and we can have a party, just like the good old day" He grins dancing in his spot.
"I don't think so. You have your fun or whatever, I'm leaving" She walks towards the door.
"Wanna try to convince Stefan to give me my ring?" Damon asks with puppy dog eyes. She gives him a look. He rolls his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, you don't get involved." He waves her off. She grins and blows him a kiss before walking out the door.
"Everything alright?" Jeremy asks. She nods giving him a small kiss.
"Thank you for waiting out here" She whispers. He nods kissing her forehead. "I love you"
"I love you too" She grins getting back into the car.
"The day is ours, what do you wanna do?" She asks driving away from the Boarding house. After a few games of pool at the Grill, they think it's safe to return to Jeremy's home. "Looks like Elena's not home" She grins at him.
The two of them get some drinks before going to the living room. They both sit on the couch. Jeremy turns on the TV and puts on his favorite video game. Alvina grabs a controller and the two of them go at it. They started off on the same team but Alvina quickly turns on him.
"Is there anything you can't do?" Jeremy asks as she kills him, yet again.
"I can't eat Mexican food" Alvina shakes her head. "Just goes right through me" Jeremy stares at her before grinning.
"I love you" He kisses the side of her head. A moment later the pair of them hear a doorbell ringing. Jeremy frowns his eyebrows but stands to get it. Alvina follows him. He opens the door and reveals Vicki. Alvina can instantly see she's going through transition.
"Damn you, Damon" Alvina growls.
"Hey, the sun is killing me and my eyes are on fire," Vicki says barging into the house. Jeremy and Alvina share a look.
"What are you doing here, Vic?" Jeremy asks.
"It's good, everything's good" She whispers to herself. Jeremy glances at Alvina therefore not noticing Vicki's advance. Anger flares through Alvina as Vicki plants a big kiss on Jeremy's lips.
"If you ever wish to see your brother again, I suggest you never try that again" Alvina growls throwing Vicki into the wall. Vicki struggles in her grip but Alvina is too strong.
"Babe, it's ok, she's not going to do it again" Jeremy promises placing a hand on her shoulder. Alvina growls but releases her. She turns to Jeremy.
"If she so much as touches you again, I'll kill her" She warns. She looks back at Vicki. "And I promise it'll be painful" She growled. Vicki nods quickly. She rubs her sore throat. "Oh get up" Alvina grabs Vicki and drags her to the kitchen. "Sit" She spat.
"I'm not a dog" Vicki growls. Alvina glares and takes a threatening step forward. Vicki quickly takes a seat. Alvina smirks and pulls out her phone.
"The better Salvatore" Damon answers.
"Did you send Vicki over here?" Alvina asks.
"Figured it would be entertaining" Damon smirks. "What happened?" He asks eagerly.
"She kissed Jeremy," She tells him.
"And you killed her" Damon assumes.
"Not yet but it's not looking good either" She glares at the transitioning girl. "Next time I see you, I'm giving you enough electricity to fry a human brain" She warns before hanging up.
"What's happening to her?" Jeremy asks.
"She's in transition," Alvina says not even bothering to lower her voice. She calls Stefan.
"Hello?" Stefan answers.
"You're brother is becoming a pain in my ass" Alvina grumbles.
"What happened?" He asks.
"Get back to the Gilbert house," She says before hanging up. "Stefan's on his way. She's the Salvatore's problem, not mine" She crosses her arms.
"What's gonna happen to her?" Jeremy asks. Alvina shrugs.
"She'll either die for good or become a vampire. Either way, I don't want you near her. I'm not trying to be controlling or possessive, she's dangerous right now. She'll be even more dangerous if she completes the process" Alvina tells him. He nods slowly. "I'm sorry, I know she's your friend," Alvina says gently.
"She wasn't that great" He whispers to her. She gives him a small smile. "But Stefan will help her?"
"Stefan has this unnatural need to do the right thing, he'll help her" She reassures. Jeremy smiles and nods.
