(Mention small bit of a trigger in this chapter)

In a flash she was a little kid again, begging for Tristan to let her out.-Author

IN THE SALVATORE BUILDING, FAITH
was feeding her babies after she just woke up. Stefan was gone to go somewhere with Elena, and Holly was working while their other two friends were on a date.

The healer saw Damon compelling a woman who she then watched getting in her own car and drive away. 

Curiously she walked up to the vampire, holding her son in her arms and then also spotted Alaric standing infront of the frontdoor looking at Damon.

''My new girlfriend. Andie Star, action news.'' The raven haired male said to the teacher.

 ''It's not called action news.'' Faith said, raising an eyebrow at which he turned around to look at the healer.

''I know. I just like saying it.'' he said and then looked at Alaric again.

''Come on.'' he then said, nodding his head that he could go inside.

Alaric entered the house and Damon shut the door behind him. He then lead Alaric into the parlor where Faith followed them to. 

''So, John Gilbert gave me this to kill Elijah.'' The vampire said, unrolling a dagger from its protective cloth.

Faith looked at it and shook her head. ''Why kill him? He is not dangerous'' she said, confused. 

''Said you have to dip the dagger in the remains of an old white ash tree that dates back to the Originals, if there's any truth in that.'' Damon just continued saying to the human and ignoring the healer.

He handed the dagger to Alaric who took it. 

''So you think it's a setup?'' he asked him.

  ''It could be. Guy's a weasel. Wouldn't put anything past him.'' Damon said, rolling his eyes and turning around, heading to the bar with a healer walking after him.

''Go to your room and let the grownups talk some business shortie'' he said annoyed, hearing also the girl behind him. 

''No I am not. Elijah isn't dangerous. He saved my life! And yours'' she said irritated as she forced him to turn around and look at her.

Damon sighted irritated again. ''Are you stupid? He won't probably keep his deal. This is safer for all of us.'' he said as he grabbed harshly the healer her arm and dragged her with her son to her room.

He pushed her softly inside so she wouldn't drop her baby and then closed the door, locking it. It was also a room where no one could use magic at which everyone also thought it was the safest room for the witch. 

Faith stared in disbelief at the closed door and the sound of Damon locking the door too. She put her son in his crib and walked up to the door.

''Damon, open the bloody door!!'' she said, knocking on the door and trying to open the door.

''NO let the grownups talk little witch'' the male responded and went back to Alaric. 

''What are you up to today, Mr. Saltzman?'' the highschool teacher asked the vampire as he got back and walked over to him.

''Well, Jenna and I were supposed to go to her family's lake house, but somehow, we both got roped into doing this Historical Society thing at the Lockwoods. Where Elijah's the guest of honor.''

''Tell me you're not gonna kill him at the tea party.'' Alaric said, looking at him.

''No. That would be stupid.'' He answered, slightly rolling his eyes ofcourse lying as he did plan to kill him then. Alaric did not buy it and gave the vampire a skeptical look.

''I want to know his endgame before I kill him, but I do think it's time Elijah and I officially met.'' Damon said as he annoyingly tapped Alaric with the dagger at which he looked at him, clearly not amused.

﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋

The Historical Society's Tea Party was commenced. Elijah and Carol were speaking with each other as they sipped their tea. Damon and Faith then entered the house. The male had to protect her so he couldn't leave her alone so here they were together at the tea party with two babies. 

Jenna noticed them and walked towards the two.  ''Damon and Faith, what are you doing here?''  she asked them.

Before they could answer Andie walked up to them with a notepad in her hand. Damon looked over at her and smiled at which Faith tried not to roll her eyes as she knew he was compelling her.

Faith instead just made her way over to Elijah and Carol and smiled a bit. Elijah looked at her giving her a small smile too.

"It's good to see you again Mrs Frensh." he said.

"It's good to see you too and I wanted to tha-" before the healer could thank the man in suit for saving her life last night, Damon approached them.

"What a surprise. Hi Damon" Carol said and she exchanged kisses on the cheek with the vampire. 

"Hi. Elijah, I want you to meet Damon Salvatore. His family is one of Mystic Falls' founding families." Carol said, introducing Damon to Elijah.

After the awkward introduction and their handshake Faith looked around the place, scanning for a bottle of alcohol.

She smiled as she saw one standing on a table and walked over there as she needed a drink. Being with Damon a whole day is pretty exhausting. The healer thought.

As the girl had found a glass and filled it with a good red wine it got stolen from her hand.

"Wine?? You are 15 Faith!" Damon said and drank fast her wine before putting the empty glass back on the table.

Faith looked at him, crossing her arms. "I am bored alright. You forced me to come here and you wouldn't at home even listen to me. So let me just drink while you do you being a dork" she said, pushing past him.

Damon blinked as the brunette walked away from him, but he wouldn't let that slide. As he had Elijah to come to the study he grabbed the witch her arm and dragged her also inside and closed the door.

"Damon!! What the hell!" she said, glaring at him as he then also let go of her arm.

"Shush be happy you get to be at this adult conversation" he said with a smirk while patting her head.

"What can I do for you, Damon?" Elijah asked the vampire as he looked at the two supernaturals infront of him who were acting like siblings once again.

"I was hoping we could have a word." the vampire responded.

"Where's Elena?" the original then asked.

"Safe with Stefan. They're laying low, you know, bit of a werewolf problem." Faith replied now.

"Oh, yeah, I heard about that."

"I'm sure you did since it was your witch that saved the day." Damon said.

"I wanted to also thank you for that and also ofcourse for saving my life.." the witch then said, looking at the male.

"You are welcome." He said with a warm smile now as Damon now sat down on the desk.

"Which adds to my confusion on exactly why you're here." Damon then spoke up again.

"Why don't you just stay focused on keeping Elena safe and leave the rest to me." Elijah said, and moved to exit the room.

Damon on the other hand had other plans and vampsped in front of him, blocking the way out.

"Damon step aside and let him through" Faith said coldly, done with how stubborn he was being.

"Not good enough." The vampire said, once again ignoring the witch her words.

Elijah then grabbed Damon by the throat and vamp-sped him into a wall. Damon, in retaliation, grabbed Elijah's throat. Elijah grabbed Damon's hand and easily pulled it off of his neck, making sure to crush Damon's hand as he does so. Damon groaned in pain at which Faith gasped as she stood there watching it happening.

"You young vampires, so arrogant." The original said coldly and dropped Damon's hand from his own, but continued to hold Damon up against the wall by the throat.

"How dare you come in here and challenge me?" He spoke, glaring at him.

"You can't kill me, man. It's not part of the deal." The young vampire blurted out.

"Silence." the male said at which Faith didn't dare to open her own mouth.

Elijah grabbed a pencil lying on the desk and stabbed Damon in the neck with it. Damon clutched at the pencil and yelled in pain. Elijah then let go of Damon, who fell against the desk and removed the pencil, painfully. Damon clapsped his hand over the bloody wound.

"Deserved" The healer muttered.

The noble man heard it just like Damon and the original smiled a bit at that, getting more and more the feeling he had to protect that girl the most. Every time he was close to her he felt that.

Elijah whipped out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood off his hands, looking at Faith.

"I'm an Original. Show a little respect." he said then regarding to the bleeding vampire.

The original dangled the handkerchief in front of Damon, who grabbed it hastily, and placed it on his wound.

"The moment you cease to be of use to me, you're dead, so you should do what I say. Keep Elena safe." he spoke again and then focussed at Faith.

"You try staying out of danger. We don't want something bad to happen to you" he said, showing now also accidentally to Damon that he started to care for the witch.

Faith nodded and watched him then leave the room.

BACK AT THE SALVATORE BOARDING

house, Damon pinned the healer against the wall, glaring at her.

"You just let him hurt me. You could have used your magic, but you didn't! Are you on his side???" he said angrily.

Faith her eyes widened.

"Damon let her go." Alaric spoke, Damon ofcourse not listening.

"I...I am sorry...I just got scared alright..." she lied. Lie 4

She wasn't scared at that moment. She thought he deserved it.

"Get to your room, you are grounded" Damon said.

"You cannot ground me!" she yelled at him, tears forming in her eyes.

"DO you want me to drag you there? Fine why the hell not" he spoke bitterly, completely annoyed by the girl just because she only watched him getting attacked by an original and not helping him.

He took her arm once again and dragged her this time painfully to her room and pushed her inside at which she fell onto the ground.

"Damon..stop I am sorry...please stop..." she begged him as he closed the door and locked it again.

In a flash she was a little kid again, begging for Tristan to let her out. Tears rolled down the healer her face as she heard Damon go back downstairs, not caring that she was sobbing.

Trigger warning for now

The healer grabbed her knife slowly and looked at her arm after she had removed her jacket. She had lied which was a sin, 4 times in 3 days. Besides someone was mad at her. This were 5 mistakes for her.

You have to do this....you have to punish yourself. You deserve it she thought and then made five cuts on her upper arm.

Triggering part is over

As the girl had hidden her knife again and put her jacket on she heard a crash.

"What the hell" she muttered.

She screamed as the bedroomdoor suddenly got kicked open. A werewolf looked at her and smiled.

"Nice to see you again little witch" he spoke.

Faith immediately tried using her magic, which didn't work so she pushed  him out the window when he was close to her.

She then ran to the door to try and get downstairs to her babies. Before she could finish running down the stairs she got stabbed in her stomach like Alaric who layed unconcious some meters away.

A scream of pain escaped the tribrid her lips and she got immediately up, but then it all went straight away black again. Jules watched the girl drop onto the ground unconcious as she held a syring.

"Well she is a fighter" she said with a smile.

After a while the healer awoke from her slumber, chained to a chair with no magic chains.

"Morning, sunshine." a werewolf named Stevie said as he walked up to the girl, digging his nails into her stomach wound.

The girl screamed in pain, tears rolling down.

"So I hear you have the moonstone." Jules spoke from the corner, looking at Damon who was also chained to a chair but was looking even worse.

Damon started to laugh. "Oh, if you only knew the irony of this moment right now. Let me tell you how this is gonna go. You're gonna torture me, I don't talk, someone loses a heart. Last time, it was your boy Mason." he said at which Faith wanted to litterly snap his neck.

He always knew how to make situations worse as Stevie now also had wrapped the chains around his hand.

"This time, it'll be you." Jules said, inches away from the vampire.

She looked at Stevie and nodded. Stevie pulled then on the chain again, impaling Damon's neck. Damon groaned in pain at which the healer looked away.

Jules now looked also at the brunette as she leaned against a shotgun and talked to Damon and her.

"You know what the great thing about buckshot is? It scatters through the body. Maximum damage." she said.

Damon looked at her with feigned intrigue until Jules lifted the shotgun up and pointed it at Faith who went pale. He immediately now got worried for the healer her life.

"Where's the moonstone?" Jules repeated as Faith whimpered in fear.

"Get over it, honey. You're never gonna get it. And lets be real who hurts an innocent kid who is a mother to twins hmm? You can't do that" he said, glaring at her.

"Oh really lets prove it shall we?" Jules said with a sadistic smile, but then got interrupted.

"You looking for this?" The original asked her as he leaned against a banister, twirling the moonstone in his hand.

Faith sighted relieved that he was there now. Everyone turned to look at him as the man in suit walked down the stairs and placed the moonstone on an end table. He backed away as he also glanced worriedly at the healer.

"Go ahead. Take it." he said, focussing again on the werewolves.

One of the werewolves used his wolf speed to rush towards the moonstone, but Elijah, being quicker, plunged his hand into the wolf's chest and ripped out his heart. The wolf fell down onto the couch, dead.

Two other wolves rushed at Elijah and the original, without any effort, plunged his arms into their chests and ripped out their hearts as well.

Jules wolf-sped out of the house before she was killed. Elijah then walked over to Stevie, who crouched down and pulled his jacket over his face in fear. Elijah pulled him up from the ground.

"What about you, sweetheart, hmm? You want to take a shot? Yes? No? Yes? ..wait it does not matter. You touched that innocent girl." he said, referring to Faith.

He then punched Stevie in his face and ripped his heart out.

Elijah then fast unchained Faith and then  removed the chains strapping Damon down into the chair.

"So you realize this is the third time I've saved your life now?" he said at which Damon didn't respond.

Elijah turned around, grabbed the moonstone, and walked out of the house. But before he did he signed to Faith to go upstairs.

The witch immediately ran to her room, fixing the door with magic. As she sat on the bed, she felt being watched. She turned around and saw Elijah looking at her.

"Are you alright?" he asked her at which she nodded.

He walked up to her, giving a small glass of his blood. "Drink so you can heal" he spoke, but Faith shook her head.

"....It won't work" she said.

He raised an eyebrow as he looked at the girl.

"Why not?"

The girl froze. Was it safe to tell she the truth. He could use that against her. But she decided to tell as she felt she could actually trust the original.

"Because..." she sighted, looking at him.

"Because I can almost never heal...vampire blood never works because I am cursed Elijah." she then finished, looking down at which Elijah was in shock.

"Cursed?"

Authors note:
