"Where have you've been stranger?" Melissa asked walking into the kitchen and over to the fridge. "With lover boy?" She teased making a face before turning back to the fridge.

"Yes," Clementine answered quietly at the table, picking at her nails.

"Wait, what?" She whispered yelled before slamming the door shut and sitting down next to her at the dinner table. It was only the two in the house, Michael and Prue were at the new's station, Mack was at math club and Millie was at daycare.

"I may or may not have slept with the enemy." She answered softly.

Her eyes widen as she scooted closer as her face quickly fell. "Two things. one, did you give consent?"

"Yes, I told him I wanted this and when he asked again I said yes." She reassured knowing how she was. Melissa smiled lightly before moving onto the second question. "Two, were you both safe?"

"Yes, we were."

"Good," She said grinning before crossing her arms and sitting back in her chair. "Go ahead with all the smutty details."

Clem felt her cheeks heat up as a bashful smile appeared before she quickly looked down. "Okay, but you have to keep this between us." She said holding her pinky finger out. "Duh," She remarked as the two made the promise. "Okay, so last night he was down because of something from his past, and I wanted to cheer him up so we went to Ape. And partaked in some liquid courage and one thing lead to another...."

"I said smutty details not supermarket romance novel."

She brought her bottom lip between her teeth before giving in. "Fine. He bit me,"

"He bit you?!" She asked jolting forward's but stopped. "Where?"

"Inner thigh,"

Her mind quickly went back to the moment. Remembering how Damon left kisses down from her mouth down her jawline and down the the waistband of her pants. He pulled them off her leaving her underwear as both their shirts were already removed. He than kissed her thighs and hips before trailing down to the inner parts of her thighs. He bit down on her skin which sent her back arch as she grabbed the sheets under her as a gasp escaped from her lips.

She hummed in responses as she raised her brows. "That's not bad."

"And because I know you're gunna ask I left sum in the usual places." Clem added snapping back to reality.

She grinned, "That's my girl. But how was it? Did you like it? Was it good? Was he good?" She asked getting giddy.

"It was amazing. You know when guys try to get off first, even if they aren't like consciously doing it?" She asked as Mel quickly nodded. "He didn't do that. Not once,"

"Really?"

"Yup. And its like I can still feel his hands on me. I've never felt that before. Its like you can remember how it felt but I can feel his hands on me." She gushed smiling as wide as possible.

Melissa smiled at her bashful sister in front of her. "Clemmy, I'm being completely serious don't mess it up. Because from how your acting right now your falling. And your falling hard," She said before standing up and going back up to her room. Leaving that bomb with Clementine. She just sat there staring off not knowing what she was gunna do now.

Clementine was sat at her desk typing up her essay for English when her phone started to ring. She looked down seeing it was Elena, "Hello?"

"It's me, are you doing anything?"

She leaded back in the chair straighten out her bangs. "That essay for English, why? What's wrong?"

She heard her sigh, "Well, Jenna found the address of someone who is supposedly someone who knew my birth mom. And I was wondering if you would come with?"

"Your worried it's gunna be a murder, kidnapper, or sex trafficker?" Clem joked grinning lightly.

"Actually I was thinking vampire but I'm not going if I don't have a badass like you with me. So....?" She laughed lightly, "You know humans can still be crazy too?" She pointed out. "Will you come or not?"

"Yeah, just text me when you get here." She replied sitting up. "See you soon," Elena said before hanging up.

Clementine quickly saved whatever she had and shut her laptop before grabbing a jacket. She threw it over her forearm while shoving her phone into her pocket, making sure she wasn't forgetting anything.

"Mel! I'll be back soon!" She called running down the stairs.

"Going off to see lover boy?!"

"No! I'm going with Elena, actually! I'll tell you everything later!" She called grabbing her purse as she heard a car honk outside. "Bye, love you!" She yelled before running out the door.

She run to Elena's car and climbed into the passenger seat, "Let's figure this shit out." She said smiling looking over at her.

"Let's figure this shit out," She repeated matching her smile before driving off.

🍊

After a long quite drive they finally pulled up to a house. "Where here," Elena sighed out putting the car in park.

"Are you sure you wanna do this?" Clem asked seeing her face written with anxiety all over it. "Yeah. I think so..."She trailed off looking over at her. "Do you want me to go, and you'll stay here? Or do you want to go in alone?"

"No, I need to do this and I need you there, please." She asked holding her hand.

She smiled softly at her, "I'm ready when you are, El."

She looked back at the steering wheel before taking a deep breath and getting out as Clementine followed. The two walked up the door as Elena went to knock but turned around and looked at the Lightwood, who smiled up at her, and she turned back and knocked on the door.

It was a long few seconds and the door slowly opened to a blonde woman who smiled looking between the two girl's.

"Trudie? Tru-Trudie Peterson?"

"Yes."

"Uh, my name is Elena Gilbert. I wanted to talk to you about Isobel Flemming." Clem was nervously picking at her nails. "Well, I haven't heard that name in years. How do you know her?" Trudie asked still looking between the two.

"I think that, um, well..." She trailed off looking over at Clem for help.

"Do you know if she had a baby that she gave up for adoption? Possibly a baby girl?" She spoke up getting Trudie's attention.

She watched as her eye's turn from confusion to shock. "My god, you're her daughter." She said turning back to Elena. Who was clearly tooken back by it as the blonde let out a small laugh. "I was just gonna make some tea. Would you like some?"

Clementine quickly looked towards Elena who nodded towards her smiling, "Sure."

"Uh, the kitchen's this way." She said stepping aside for the two girl's to walk in. Elena went in first as Clem followed closely behind her.

She thought it was a but weird how she worded it but shrugged it off.

"I didn't catch your name," She said turning towards the Lightwood. "Clementine,"  She answered walking passed her as she shut the door behind them.

The two walked into the kitchen taking off their coats and placing them on the back of the chairs.

"I wasn't gunna come. I didn't think I was, but I was driving, and I hit this stoplight, and it made me think about when I was learning how to drive and then my mom would always warn me about this blind turn on the left-hand side. And then I was thinking about my mom, and--" Elena rambled off but than cut herself off.

Clem looked at her smiling, happy she was finally about to get some answers.

"I had your address. I'm sorry for bargaining in."  She said before finally taking a breath.

"It's no problem. Um, just a surprise, though." Trudie said motioning for the two to side down at the table. Clem next to Elena with her at the head closet to them. "I haven't thought about Isobel in years."

"When was the last time you saw her?" Clem spoke up curiously.

"About seventeen years ago, when she left to go have you." She said looking towards Elena when she said 'you'. "We kept in touch for a while, but, well, you know, people drift apart."

"And you don't know where she ended up?" Elena asked leaning on the table.

"She was in Florida for a while. She was on her own. I know it wasn't easy."

She thought for a moment, "You have any idea who my father is?" She asked softly as Clem slowly squeezed her hand.

She stared at her for a moment before replying, "I could never get her to fess up." She said making both girls start to breath normally again.

"Anyway, she finally pulled it together, got into college on a scholarship." She said trying to change the subject a little.

"Where did she go?"

"Somewhere in North Carolina. Duke, I think. Smart girl, smart school." She answered smiling which made Elena smile just as the kettle whistled. "Let me just grab that." She said standing up and walking into the kitchen.

"Well?" Clem whispered turning towards the Gilbert teen. "You were right, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gunna be." She admitted.

"Good," She muttered smiling and happy that something good was happening.

🍊

"Hello?" Clem answered as she had stepped outside to answer her phone while Elena and Trudie looked over some old year books.

"Buffy, where are you?" Damon asked as she smiled at the nickname.

"Out with Elena,"

"Without me? How rude," He asked with a fake gasp and heavy sarcasm.

She laughed shaking her head, "D its about her family, and she wanted me here for moral support and you are taking me away from being her moral support."

"What are you a support dog...no, a support mouse?" She rolled her eyes, "Goodbye Damon,"

"Wait! No, no, no, wait." He quickly called as she smiled looking up putting the phone to her other ear. "I'm listening."

"I just wanted to know, when you and Elena are done on your little date if you could come over." He asked as she felt her cheeks heat up as she slowly bit her bottom lip.

"And I should come over why?" She teased.

"Cause I need my Buffy,"

"For?"

"Physical support." She scoffed looking down grinning and starting to feel the giddiness and butterflies start to build up in her. "I'll think about it,"

"I'm not hearing a no," He teased which made her smile even more. "I said I'll think about. Okay? Now I have to go, bye Damon."

"Goodbye Clementine."

She hanged up smiling widely down at the phone before quickly putting it into her back pocket and going back inside.

"Sorry about that," She said sitting back down besides Elena.

"Is everything okay?" The Gilbert teen asked as Clem shook her head. "Yeah, yeah. It's just Mel yelling at me for not putting back her dryer. What did I miss?" She asked looking between the two.

"They were both cheerleaders and they stole they were stars,"

"Well, Izzie was. But I was a damn good backup." She corrected smiling between the two.

Clementine took a sip of the tea as her face turned into confusion as she took another sip trying place where she remembered that taste before. And she swear to god she thought she saw Trudie watch her closely as she took the sip.

"Heh, this is great. Thank you," Elena bashed smiling from ear to ear.

"You're welcome." She said as her eyes went towards her cup. "You haven't touched your tea."

"Oh, yeah." She muttered taking a sip.

"What type is it?" Clementine asked seeing Elena give her the same 'this isn't what I think it is' look.

"Oh, it's just some herbal mixture." She brushed off.

"Vervain?" She aske bluntly seeing her head tilted.

"She knows" Elena muttered glancing at Clementine who didn't take her eyes off her.

"Know what?"

"You said 'the kitchens this way'. You didn't invite us in, and know the vervain tea. Either your just weird or your checking off a certain check list."Clementine remarked keeping her eyes on her.

"I think that you two should probably leave." She quickly said standing up.

"Wait. What are you not telling me?" Elena asked setting her cup down looking up at her.

Meanwhile Clementine was already planning ways to get the hell out if shit hits the fan.

"Please leave." She said deadpan. "Now!"

"Elena, let's go," Clem said pulling the Gilbert girl up as the two grabbed their stuff. Clem had Elena walk out infront of her as she followed behind her making sure she would try something.

The two quickly walked to the car, "That was weird," Elena said walking to the driver door.

"I know, I didn't think I was drilling into her that hard but I guess not..." Clem trailed off glancing down the road seeing a guy down the road.

"Elena, inside now!" She said not taking her eyes off him as she hurried up and unlocked the car as the two climbed in.

"El," She warned seeing him slowly walk towards the car.

"Driving, going. I'm going right now." She stuttered quickly driving off. "Who was that?"

"I don't know, but dude was creepy." Clem sighed out sitting back.

"Vampire?"

"Maybe, but than again 'boys will be boys'."

🍊

"You're doing it wrong." Clementine remarked leaning on the doorframe of Damon's room.

Damon turned towards her as he was just facing a mirror buttoning up his shirt. "I thought I was doing something wrong," He looked down at his shirt before back at her. "A little help?"

She smirked before walking over and unbuttoning all of them leaving his open and exposed chest.

She flattened the shirt out before slowly starting the button the buttons in the right order. "See it's not that hard." She than turned him back towards the mirror and placed her hands on to her side. "There now you look..."

"Dashing? Gorgeous?" He asked turning back towards the girl pulling her closer to him. "Irresponsible?" He asked trying to go in for a kiss but she quickly place a finger to his lips.

"I was gunna say sleep deprived, but any of those could work." She teased smirking.

"Well someone was keeping me up all night," He said raising his brows at her. "You look pretty sleep deprived too,"

"Well someone else was keeping me up all night," She repeated pushing up on her toes.

"And who might that be?"

She placed her pointer finger to her lips before looking around. "Mmm. Well, he's tall, handsome, had a great jawline. Oh! And he's super clingy." His jaw dropped a bit, "And he was supposed to have some hickey's I left but those healed as soon as they were there." He smirked raising a brow playfully at her.

"Who's your someone?" She asked walking closer and wrapping her arms around his waist.

He hummed before looking down at her wrapping his arm's around. "Well, she's short-"

"Hey!"

"She's smart, badass, adorable and yet can be so sexy when she wants to. Sometimes even when she tries not to be. Oh, and how could I forget she has a bit on the thigh but also one here..." He trailed off, placing his hands on her thighs right above her butt and quickly picked her up.

She wrapped her legs around him as her arms where resting on her shoulders, and the two were now at eye level.

"I have something to tell you," She whispered leaning closer to him. "I think I might be your someone." He smirked, "I think I might be your someone," He repeated before closing the space between them.

The kiss was passionate and heated and like it was their first kiss, it still had its spark.

He quickly brought her to the bed and laid her down before quickly shutting and locking the door. "You must really need my physical support," She joked smirking looking up at him as he nodded before climbing on top of her.

🍊

Clementine laid on Damon's chest as he traced random shapes on her back. She was happy, taking in the sweet bliss that was being with him.

"Deja vu, huh?"

He scoffed pulling the blanket closer to her, "You could say that again."

The two had pulled apart panting heavily looking up at the ceiling before breaking out into grins and small laughter. She pulled the blanket over them after climbing on top of him and laying on his chest.

She had snuggled her cheek into his chest. He kissed the top of her head before wrapping both arms around her. Both taking in the euphoric bliss.

At this point both were sober and fully conscious of what they were doing. And after enough will-they-won't-they, enough flirty banter, and especially enough sexual tension had built up between the two. Making the two finally give in and do the one thing they both were wanting to do.

And here they were again. In the same position they were the last time they were like this.

"How'd you get talked into being a bachelor to auction off?" Clem asked moving her body so she could look up him.

"Liz asked me and I couldn't say no, or that I was seeing someone." He said playing with her hair. Twirling a strand around his finger. "Why didn't you?" She asked softly resting her chin on his chest. "Because I didn't know if you wanted everyone to know about us, about this. Whatever this or us are."

They were both silent as she looked down not knowing how to answer that. "What are we?"

"I think we should get ready for the auction," She said softly before getting up.

🍊

"Where'd your girlfriend go?" Damon announced placing a jacket on as Stefan walked up to him.

"She's on her way to the Grill. What about Clem?"

"The Grill, I needed some help on my outfit." He remarked as Stefan reached into the back of his pocket and pulled out a photo. "I, uh, wanted to talk to you. This is the woman, Isobel, from North Carolina. Remember her now?"

"Who wants to know?" He asked taking the photo from him.

"I do,"

"Who else wants to know?" He corrected handing the photo back.

"Did you kill her?"

Damon shrugged, "Sorry, don't know her. Hey, are you comin'?" He asked walking towards the door. "The real housewives of Mystic Falls await."

🍊

"He's already been hot on, like 35 times. He total cougar bait." Caroline told the two girls as Matt stood by smiling innocently. Caroline was helping hand out tickets meanwhile Clementine was waiting on Melissa as it was an annual tradition to watch the train wreck that was the auction.

"Impressive,"

"More like embarrassing," He corrected looking towards Car. "Heh heh. Hi, Mrs. Donovan." She said happily as she walked up to the four.

She smiled sheepishly at the blonde before turning towards the two girls, who didn't know she was back in town already. "Elena honey," She smiled hugging her before turning towarad the smaller girl. "Clementine,"

"Hi, Kelly." They both said hugging her.

"Long time, no see." Kelly Donovan said as Clem saw Caroline look down. She leaded over the podium and poked her cheek getting her attention.

'Are you okay?' She mouthed as she nodded. 'You sure?' The blond nodded again as Clem gave her a look before turning back to Ms. Donovan.

"Oh. Matty tells me you broke his heart."

"Mom,"

"Just kidding. Calm down. He found his rebound girl." She said glancing over at Car. Clem squinted her eyes while biting her tongue trying not to snap. She saw how happy Caroline was with Matt and didn't want anyone to ruin it. "Oh. Here you go, sweetheart. However man that'll buy. I just hope I don't get bachelor 3. I dated him in high school. Not impressive."

Clem scoffed seeing Melissa walk through the doors as she silently thanked knowing she was about to save her.

"Mel!" She called walking over to her and quickly hooking her arm. "I've been waiting for you."

"Ms. Donovan?" She asked as Kelly smiled at her but Clem pulled her away before she could say anything. "Okay, rude. What was that for?" She whispered as the two walked over and found a table near the back.

"She was just tell us how she doesn't want bachelor 3 because apparently he 'isn't impressive'." She replied using air quotes.

"Wow, classy." She muttered as the two sat down. "You ready to do what we Lightwood sister's do?"

"Talk some shit while looking classy while doing it?"

The oldest smiled while pointing towards her, "Exactly," She encourage as Clem's phone buzzed as she picked it up seeing a text from Bonnie. "Have you heard anything from Bonnie?" She asked softly.

"That's her right now," She answered motioning towards her phone.

Bon 🔮

Bon🔮

Clem🍊

It's perfectly fine, I was just wanted to check up on you and go on and on about how much I missed you

Feel better soon

I love you

🍊

"And what do you do, bachelor number 3?" Mrs. Lockwood asked pointing the microphone towards him.

"Yeah, I'm a plumber."

"Plumber is definitely a turn off," Mel whispered towards Clem who nodded. "Yes but he looks kinda like Leo from Charmed but your right plumber is a turn off." She agreed nodding her head.

"Well, isn't that wonderful? We could always use more plumbers. Moving on. Number 4, 'Alaric Saltzman.' Wow. That's quite a mouthful. What do you do, Alaric?" Mrs. Lockwood asked walking towards Alaric.

"I'm a teacher at Mystic Falls High,"

"Oh, beauty and brains, ladies. This one's a keeper. What do you teach?"

"History."

"History. Oh, well, give us a fun fact about Mystic Falls, something crazy." She asked as he looked over towards Damon who was standing next to him. "Uh, well..." He trailed off. "He probably saving the best stories for his date."

"That's Alaric?" Mel asked as Clem nodded. "The one Jenna has told me about?"

"And the new history teacher I told you about." She reminded as she nodded slowly before bringing the wine glass up to her mouth. "Aaa, I see way she's so...interested in him."

'And last, but not least, Damon Salvatore. We don't have much on you." Mrs. Lockwood said flipping to his card while moving to the other side of him.

"Well, I'm a tough to fit on a card."

"Do you have any hobbies, like to travel?"

"Oh, yeah. L.A., New York. Couple of years ago, I was in North Carolina, near the Duke campus, actually. I think ─ I think Alaric went to school there. Didn't you, Rick?" He asked turning towards him. "Yeah, cause I ─ I know your wife did."

Clem crossed her arm's and sat back in her seat. Hoping it wasn't gunna go the way she thought it was going. Because she had a feeling she might have to stop someone from jumping on stage and try killing Damon. Even if what he's doing is petty and dumb.

"I had a drink with her once. She was ─ she was a great girl. I ever tell you that? Cause she was ─ she ─ delicious."

She glanced toward the door watching as Elena ran out with Stefan following right behind her. She sighed heavily before quickly looking back at Damon as she grabbed Mel's glass that had one last sip last. She quickly threw it back and set the glass down while swallowing harshly as she thought of the ways she was about to kill him.

🍊

"And Bachelor number 3 goes to 37458." Mrs. Lockwood called out as everyone looked at their tickets.

"That's me," Ms. Donovan called out emotionless walking from the bar and over to him.

Melissa looked towards Clementine as the two took a sip of their drinks just knowing what each other where thinking.

"Ah. Kelly Donovan, lovely. You and the plumber should have so much fun." Mrs. Lockwood remarked handing her the ticket as she walked over to Caroline.

"Mean, this town could use more plumbers." The oldest remarked quickly as Clem choked on her drink. "Don't you dare add onto that," She warned after coughing trying not to cough up a lung.

Mrs. Lockwood had moved onto 'Bachelor 4' who was Mr. Saltzman. "37649," She called out as everyone sighed deeply as it wasn't their ticket.

"That's me," Jenna called making the two look back towards her but than grinned back at each other. "What are the odds?" The both grinned in unison. "Congratulations." Mrs. Lockwood said smiling widely handing her the ticket. "And Bachelor number 5, Damon Salvatore." She said going back into the fish bowl and pulling out a ticket. "37552."

Mel grinned as Clem was looking around waiting for someone to jump up and gush over him.

"Would you look at that?" She gasped getting a confused look from her younger sister. "That's Clementine's ticket!"

"Huh?" She asked.

"Well," Mrs. Lockwood sighed out seeming a little disappointed. "Where'd he go?" She asked looking around.

"I don't know but I'll find him," She said quickly getting up grabbing her jacket and throwing her purse over her shoulder. "I'm a going to kill you." She whispered to Melissa who was smiling innocently. She than put on a fake smile and walked over and got the ticket from Mrs. Lockwood.

She than went over to Caroline who was glaring at her. "Don't start with me, I didn't know she bought a ticket." She said quickly leaning towards the blonde.

"You don't have to go on the date," She pointed out exchanging the ticket.

"If I don't Melissa will just pull something else. You know normal we have fun, not play match maker!" She whispered yelled before storming off.

🍊

Clementine banged on the door as it slowed opened showing it wasn't locked. She walked in hearing someone groaning.

"Damon!" She called walking to see him sitting on the couch as Alaric was dead on the floor in front of him. "What the hell did you do!?"

"Please he had it coming," He said emotionless.

"No this isn't fucking Chicago, Damon! You killed him! Why did you kill him!?" She yelled standing in front of him. "He wanted to know what happened to Isobel and I told him and than he tried to kill me so I stabbed him in the lung with the stake." He said before drinking the last of his bourbon.

"Isobel, from North Carolina the Duke campus?" She questioned clenching her fist.

"Yes I don't understand why it's such a big--"

"Did you kill her?"

"Clementine I don't--" He went to asked but she cut him off again. "Did you kill her or did you turn her?!"

"Turned her,"

She clenched everything and looked around trying to calm herself down. "You're dumbass! And stupid ass vampire, human, everything under the sun. Oh, wait that kills you. Why don't you take your stupid ring off and go walk in the sun?!" She snapped.

"What are you losing your shit about now?" He asked rolling his eyes standing up.

"That's Elena's mother!" His face fell as he know understood why she was made.

"Yeah! Yeah! So well you where doing your I'm sad because Katherine doesn't love me pity party you were trying to bring Alaric down with you, you brought Elena down to!" He walked back towards the mini bar.

"No! No! No! You can't just walk away from your promblems! Look I get it your still pissed about Katherine not being in the tomb and I've been trying to be there and help you but.... You can't just bring other people down because your sad or mad or can't expression your fucking express your fucking emotions!"

"What's wrong I heard yelling?" Stefan asked running in looking between the two.

"Damon killed my history teacher!" She yelled.

"What!" He yelled rushing down and checking for pulse.

"Dude, what? He attacked me."

"Damon." Both said giving him a look. "All I did was tell him the truth. His wife didn't want him anymore. It's not my fault he couldn't handle it." He remarked sitting back down.

"Like you've been handling Katherine?" Stefan asked as Clem pointed at him.

"I'm handling it fine."

"Bullshit," Clem called out as Stefan reached up and lightly grabbed her forearm for her to stop.

"You know what? Isobel came to me. She found me. And if she's related to a Elena, that means she's related to Katherine. Maybe Katherine sent her to me."

"Stop it,"Both yelled at him. "You don't have to keep looking." Stefan pointed out.

"Can't be a coincidence Isobel sought me out. Mm-mmm. Can't. I'm assuming you'll take care of this. We'll Clem and I--"

"Clementine's going home." She corrected.

"Really?" He asked standing up again getting closer to her. "Take one more step Damon and I'll throw you into that damn fireplace." She threatened pointing to it behind her.

He stared her up and down before walking past her leaving her, Stefan alone with Alaric's body.

Stefan sat down next to the his body as Clem huffed trying to calm herself down. "You were wrong," She said softly getting him to look up at her. "He as never listened to me."

Suddenly Alaric's fingers started moving as the two leaned closer when he suddenly sat up with a gasp. They helped him up as he groaned holding his chest where a gaping whole just was.

"What happened? What's going on?"

"You were just... Did Damon turn you?" Stefan asked as Clem started checking his pulse and pupils.

"No. I ─ I went for him, and then he, uh ─ he stabbed me."

"No, no, no. You must have vampire blood in your system. Somebody slipped it to you." Stefan insisted as Clem shook her head. "Stefan, he's still human. Pupils, pulse, and vervain didn't even work."

"No. It's, uh ─ it's something else." He protested.

"Then how?" Both muttered not understanding how he was still alive.

"I, uh..." He trailed off looking down at his ring. "Isobel. This ring protected me."

"That's impossible." Stefan said shaking his head meanwhile Clem was just staring at the ring speechless. "Can I see it?" She asked as he held his hand out.

That's when it hit her where she knew the ring from. It wasn't exactly like it but it was exactly like it. The ring that she has never seen him without. Her dad's ring.
