*Chapter Twenty Five*

"Ugh, how long is he going to take?" Alvina whines slouching in the park bench. They had been sitting around for a few hours.

Wes Maxfield is currently in the police station talking to people. Alvina wanted to go in and snoop but Damon stopped her. He knew they couldn't afford to be careless, they had to be extremely careful or else they'd end up cell buddies. He didn't want her to go through something like that. So, he decided to be annoyingly careful.

"How many fries did you stuff in there?" Damon asks frowning his eyes brows as she pulls out yet another one from her jacket pocket.

"Don't give me that judgey look" Alvina snapped pointing at him. "You're the one who wanted to leave before I finished my food forcing me to take it to-go"

"You know you could have gotten a box like a normal person" Damon smirks slightly.

"You didn't exactly give me any time" She grumbles. "You left so quickly and I got anxious so I just stuffed them in my pocket" She shrugs. Damon rolls his eyes and looks back towards the police station.

"There he is" Damon announces. Alvina glances upwards and notices Wes leaving the building. His shoulders are slouched, his clothes slightly wrinkled and his eyes are red. Clearly he's upset over Alison's death.

"Hopefully he'll be easy to crack" Alvina grumbles standing up.

"When has luck ever been on our side?" Damon questions following after her.

"Stop being such a Debbie Downer" Alvina comments.

"I'm being realistic"

"That's boring"

Damon rolls his eyes again but doesn't comment. The two of them follow Wes from a distance throughout campus. The professor walks back to the main building and towards his class. The room is empty and he begins to collect his things.

The hallway has a few more occupants than what Alvina would have liked which meant they would have to be quiet. Her and Damon share a look before entering Wes' classroom. Damon closes and locks the door behind them.

"I'm sorry but there will be no classes today" Wes tells them.

"Then I want a refund in my tuition" Alvina complains.

"You don't go to college" Damon points out.

"Oh, yeah" Alvina grins. Wes stares at them slightly on edge. "We're not students but we do have some questions"

"Who are you?" He asks reaching in his bag. Damon speeds over and pulls him away from his things not wanting Wes to alert anyone of their presence. "Vampire" Wes whispers to himself.

"Like she said, we have some questions" Damon tells him. Wes glares and pulls out some vervain from his pocket. He smashes it into Damon's face causing him to groan. Damon drops Wes allowing him to race back to his bag and grab a stake.

"Now, that wasn't very nice" Alvina snaps glaring at him.

"If you two are smart, you'll leave" Wes snapped.

"Well, it's a good thing no one ever accused us of being smart before" Alvina grins sadistically while stalking up towards him. "Look, we won't hurt you as long as you give us the information we want"

"Speak for yourself" Damon growls planning the guys murder in his head. Alvina sighs but continues to look at Wes.

"You're apart of Augustine, right?" Alvina questions. Wes tenses, his face giving himself away. "Where do you keep your vampires?"

"I'm not telling you anything" Wes snapped. "Others are on the way, leave now" He warns. Alvina sighs and rolls her eyes.

"Why are you being so insufferable?" Alvina grumbles. "Look, all we're going to do is free the two vampires you have and burn Augustine to the ground," Alvina tells him simply.

"And kill everyone who is apart of it," Damon adds.

"Oh, and that" Alvina nods. "But you're fate is in your hands," She says moving closer. "Die senselessly and slowly or quickly with a clear conscious"

"How about neither" Wes smirks before slinging a vervain dart from his bag at Damon and then Alvina. While the vervain worked annoyingly well on Damon, it had no affect on Alvina.

"You know," Alvina pulls the dart from her skin. "That is the second time you've hurt my best friend" Alvina growls her eyes darkening.

"What are you?" Wes asks stepping back. Alvina smirks before turning into her fairy form. Wes' eyes widen and before he could do anything Alvina flies towards him. She grabs him by the throat and lifts him off the ground. She knocks the stake out of his hand and watches his face turn colors.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you yet, you still have some valuable information that I need" She smirks.

However, before she could interrogate him she could hear his reinforcements quickly approaching the room. Alvina pouts and drops him to the ground. He coughs as she turns towards Damon.

"I'd leave while you still can" Wes warns her. "Forget about the two vampires and run," Alvina picks up Damon and slings him over her shoulder.

"I can't do that, you have someone very special to me" She says walking over to him. "And you're going to lead me right to him whether you like it or not" She growls before dragging Wes towards the window. She's thankful it's dark out. It would be very hard to explain why a woman with wings is flying around while carrying two men. The dark will give her perfect cover.

"Let me go! I demand that you release me!" Wes shouts but Alvina merely smirks and flies out of the room as his 'friends' break in.

Using the cover of the darkness, Alvina flies them back to the hotel that her and Damon had gotten for the time being. She tosses Wes to the ground while setting Damon on the bed.

'Vina?' Jeremy asks hesitantly through their bond. Alvina instantly smiles. She can feel the tension leaving her body as she feels him through the link.

'Hey, Spaceman' Alvina replies. 'I miss you'

'I miss you too' Jeremy sighs. 'Are you ok? Your emotions are all over the place'

'I'm fine, baby' Alvina promises. 'I'm just dealing with a complication at the moment'

'Please be careful' Jeremy begs. 'Come back in one piece'

'I will, I love you. Try to get some sleep'

'Sleep is impossible without you' Jeremy confesses making Alvina smile and blush slightly. 'I need you, Vina. Come back to me'

'I will when I find L.S.J., it won't be too much longer. I promise' Jeremy whines causing Alvina to laugh a bit. 'Don't worry, I'll make it up to you'

'I'll hold you too it' Jeremy promises. 'Goodnight baby'

'Goodnight handsome' Alvina responds before turning to Wes. She's slightly startled to see how focused he is on her. It was like he was studying her.

"What were you doing just then?" Wes wonders curiously. Alvina simply answers him with a malicious and slightly mischievous grin.

"I'm going to ask one more time nicely," Alvina moves closer to him. "Where do you keep the vampires?" Wes simply stares at her. Alvina smirks wider. "This is going to be fun,"

The first thing Damon notices when he wakes up is that Wes is lay in the bed beside him twisting and turning like he's in a nightmare. Frowning his eyebrows he sits up and look at Alvina.

She's sitting in a chair at the end of the bed staring at Wes intently. The small smile on her face is slightly unsettling.

"It's about time you woke up" Alvina comments still staring at Wes.

"What exactly are you doing?" Damon asks.

"I'm messing with his head" Alvina smirks. "I'm giving him illusions,"

"What exactly is he seeing?" Damon asks standing over him.

"Alison's death in different ways over and over," Alvina explains nonchalantly. "Apparently the two are very close," She tells him. "At least they were" She chuckles a bit.

"Can't believe I forgot how evil you can be" Damon grumbles. Alvina simply smirks. "How long has this been going on?" He asks her.

"Hour or two" She shrugs. Damon walks to the other side of the bed finding a bucket of blood. He glances at Alvina. "I may be draining the vervain from his system while forcing him to relive his nightmare over and over again"

"Evil and clever, a double threat" Damon smirks.

"This way when he wakes up you can compel him and we can get my mate,"

"Seems simple enough"

"Simplicity is my middle name"

"Huh, I thought it was Calypso" Damon mumbles. Alvina reaches over and throws a pillow at his head. "Hey! Don't start what you can't finish" Damon says warningly. Alvina smirks at him.

"Women tell you that often?" Alvina squeals and quickly dodges Damon's attack. She laughs as he continues to try and capture her.

"Take that back!" Damon shouts.

"Never!" Alvina laughs. Damon tackles her to the ground and the pair of them wrestle with each other. The two of them were basically evenly matched making the wrestling more interesting.

While Alvina was focused on defeating Damon she didn't notice her illusion lifting from Wes allowing him to wake up. However, when he groans as he sits up he gains both of their attentions. Alvina shoves Damon off of her and stands up.

"Good morning, sunshine" Alvina chirps hopping over to him. "Damon, if you'd please" She motions towards the human.

"Take it back" Damon says refusing to move. Alvina groans and rolls her eyes.

"Fine" Alvina sighs. "I'm sure you're not a complete disappointment in bed, I'm sure you can finish" Damon smirks and stands up. "After a couple of seconds" Alvina adds. Damon glares at her.

"Where am I?" Wes groans.

"Neverland" Alvina responds while Damon says, "Kansas" Wes frowns his eyebrows at the two of them.

"You're going to do everything we tell you without hesitation or resistance" Damon compels Wes. "You're also not going to raise any suspicion or try to sell us out to your buddies in Augustine"

"You can't compel me, I'm-"

"Oh, shut up" Alvina rolls her eyes. Wes shuts his mouth and looks at her confused. She smirks and motions to the blood beside him. He looks down and notices blood in a bucket. "We sort of bleed the vervain from your system" She shrugs. "Sorry not sorry"

"Now, tell us where you keep the vampires, speak" Damon demands. Alvina grins widely as Wes begins to spill his guts.

He tells them about their operations. He explains how one of the vampires, Emilia, killed Alison forcing them to create a fake headline for her death. He said that the dark skinned woman at the crime scene is Dianne Freeman.

Apparently the woman is the head of security at Whitmore college. She's also apart of Augustine. She was in charge of getting Alison's death to seem like a normal incident to keep Augustine a secret to the rest of the people.

By the time their interrogation was over the sun had risen and the day had begun. The college was starting to come alive again as everyone walked to their classes.

"So, this is what you're going to do," Alvina said before drinking her 50th energy drink. "You're going to get us into Augustine. Damon, you're going to destroy the joint in a discrete way while I rescue the two vampires"

"What are there names?" Damon asks.

"Emilia Graham and Enzo St. John" Alvina frowns her eyebrows.

"Enzo?" Both Alvina and Damon ask. "Is that short for something?" Alvina continues but Wes shrugs. Alvina could feel it in her heart that this 'Enzo' is who she's looking for but that name didn't start with an 'L' which confused her.

"Oh my God, he's alive" Damon whispers. Alvina looks at him.

"You know Enzo?" Alvina asks. Damon slowly nods.

"When I was in Augustine, he was in the cell beside me" Damon admits. "We had a plan to escape but only I was able too" He explains to her. "The whole place was on fire, I thought he had died in it"

"Apparently not" Alvina growls trying to control her anger. She knows Damon didn't want to leave Enzo but he had no choice. However, the thought of Damon leaving her mate for dead didn't sit well with her.

"I'm sorry," Damon told her sincerely. "If I could have gotten him out, I would have"

"I know," Alvina pinches the bridge of her nose and takes deep breaths.

"Don't worry, Al" Damon says walking up to her. "We're going to get him, I won't leave him this time. No matter what"

"I know" Alvina sighs and nods to him. "We'll get them both out of there. We'll burn the place and kill everyone who hurt you and Enzo. Then we'll go home and have some cookies"
