Play song when it says to. * EP.21. Nothing big happened. John is back and Elena told Jeremy she was adopted. They also got close with Alaric. Oh and they have the invention back. *

" Hey mom can we talk?" I walked into her room. I stayed the night with her.

" Sure my love." She sat up on her bed and allowed me space to sit.

" Let me guess what this is about." I motioned for her to guess.

" Damon and your bond. As you call it." She smirked. She was so good at reading people or maybe she can just read minds. Nahh.

" How did you know?" I asked playing with my bracelet Jeremy made me when we were younger.

" You have a rare case." I looked at her funny.

" Your making it sound like I have a disease." I joked. She giggled.

" What is this mom? What is it that I'm feeling for him. I never thought of it as actual feelings. Is it even possible to feel this way while I'm with Stefan who is my soulmate." She smiled at me comfortingly

" You and Damon made a bond out of pure feelings. A bond that can never be broken. This is called a sacred bond. These bonds only ever happen so rarely." I looked at her shocked.

" What does this mean mom?" I laid down on her bed.

" Stefan isn't your only soulmate." I had to do a double take.

" Are you serious?!" I shot back up shocked. I was frozen. I didn't know what to do. There was nothing I could do. Stefan and Damon were at such a good place. This would break them.

" I wouldn't lie. Not about this." I looked to see if she was joking but she wasn't.

" Mom this can't happen. They're at such a good place and I can't break them. Not like Katherine did." I shook my head. They've dealt with this before and I can't do it to them again.

" Don't compare yourself to that girl. You are nothing like her. You only want the best for them. They know how much better you are than Katherine because if they didn't. Trust me when I say they wouldn't be here and Damon wouldn't have caught feelings for you." She finished. Suddenly my phone buzzed.

Hey come to the school. Alaric's class.
Huge Emergency. Stefan's here already, he came looking for you. - E.G

On my way!

" I have to go." I got up from the bed.

" What are you going to do?" I turned and faced my mom.

" I'm not keeping this from them. I can't. I will tell them at the right time." With that I sped to the school.

::

I walked in and saw Elena sitting at a desk and Stefan sitting on the teachers desk. They all looked distraught.

" What did I just walk into?" I walked to Stefan and pulled him into a kiss. He sighed into it.

" Sorry I'm late. My dog ate my...never mind." Damon said as he walked in not a minute after.

" What's up with all the furrowed brows?" He looked at all of us.

" That's what I'm saying. Anyone want to share?" Stefan pulled me against his chest and rested his chin on my shoulder. I smiled and turned my head to kiss his cheek. Damon watched jealousy flaring in his heart but shook it off.

" I saw Isobel last night." I snapped my head at Alaric.

" Isobel is here?" He nodded at me.

" In town?" Damon added. Alaric nodded again. I walked to Elena and rubbed her arm comfortingly.

" Did you ask her about uncle John? Are they working together?" I looked to the teacher.

" No." He stated simply.

" No they're not?" Damon asked.

" No I didn't ask." Alaric said. I sighed and rubbed my temples.

" What about the invention?" I asked hopeful.

" Didn't ask." Alaric shook his head.

" Did she know about the tomb vampires?" Damon fired another question.

" I don't know." I groaned.

" Did you anything escape out of your mouth?" Stefan came over and rubbed my shoulders in order for me to calm down. Which helped. The sacred bond thing has me on edge a bit.

" No, I was a little distracted by my dead vampire wife to ask any questions." I sighed and leaned into Stefan.

" Sorry just a little stressed." He nodded

" So what did she want?" Damon looked to Elena this time. Elena let out a breath.

" She wants to see me and Aliza, Damon." I looked at her confused.

" Why me? I'm not related to her. I don't even know her." I ran a hand through my hair.

" I don't know." Elena whispered.

" Alaric is supposed to arrange a meeting. We don't know why or what she wants." Stefan spoke. I went and took a seat at Alaric's desk knowing he wouldn't mind.

" You don't have to see her if you don't want to." Damon said to me. I smiled at his sensitivity. " Both of you." He added looking to Elena. I giggled to myself a bit knowing he didn't meant it.

" We don't really have a choice." Elena responded.

" Like hell. She doesn't own me. I can kill her with a snap of my fingers." I laid back into the chair.

" She's threatened to go on killing spree." I rolled my eyes at Alaric. Did he not hear the part where he said I can kill her.

" Oh! I take it that's not okay with you guys." Damon said sarcastically. I laughed and the other 3 in the room gave me a look.

" Jeez. It was funny. Calm down." I raised my hands in mock defense. Damon smiled a little at the girl.

" I want to do it. I want to meet her. If I don't, I know I'll regret it." Elena spoke up deciding her decision. They all looked to me.

" Well I'm not letting her go alone." Elena and Stefan smiled at me. I pulled out my phone and texted my mom and J an update of what's going on. I don't feel like using my brain to send messages today.

" Let's do this I guess." I smiled and linked my arm with Elena's and we walked out.

Both Salvatore boys watching the girl with a smile. They could never get tired of her smile. Her smile could bring joy to everyone even Katherine.

Alaric looked at the Salvatore's watching as they watched the girl. " You guys are whipped." Before they could say anything Alaric followed after the girls. Damon and Stefan looked at each other. They just shrugged and walked out the room.

::

Elena and I were sitting at a table near the door. Stefan came inside with us. He was by the pool table.

" Thanks for coming, I think if I was alone I would be more nervous." Elena smiled at me.

" Of course Lena. I got your back no matter how stupid you can be." She slapped my arm and laughed. I laughed with her.

" You too Stefan." Stefan smiled at my sister. I looked at him.

" I love you." I mouthed. He smiled at me.

" I love you more." He mouths back. Suddenly Isobel arrives and sits down in front of us. I lean back in my chair and cross my arms over my chest.

" Hello Aliza. Hello Elena. You look just like her, that's eerie." Was the first thing she said.

" You've met Katherine?" Elena asked her.

" She found me after I turned. Genetic curiosity, I suppose. She would be fascinated by you." I rolled my eyes. I want to strangle her already. I eyed her and noticed a necklace around her neck.

" Is that how your walking during the day?" I teased a bit.

" Katherine helped me obtain it." She looked to me.

" It's seems like Katherine did a lot things for you." Isobel glared at me. I just sent her a smug smile. I didn't even have to look at Stefan to know how amused he was right now.

" Who's my father? A name would be nice." Elena questioned.

" It would, wouldn't it?" Isobel looked at her daughter. No emotion in her tone. "You ask a lot of questions." She added.

" Why did you compel that man to kill himself? Right after he told me to stop looking for you." Elena asked another question.

" Dramatic impact. I wish it would have been more effective." I was getting tired of her. I did not sign up for this.

" Human life means that little to you?" Elena spoke to her birth giver.

" Means nothing to me. It's just part of being what I am." I rolled my eyes for like the 100th time in like 5 minutes.

" No it's not. I know other vampires, that's not true." Elena argued.

" Your sister's boyfriend over there by the pool table? Stefan Salvatore. Why Stefan? Why didn't you go for Damon? Or are you enjoying them both like Katherine did?" I slowly started to make her blood boil with out even moving.

" First of all Katherine is a manipulative, selfish bitch that only took what she wanted by force. Don't compare me to her." She was holding on to the table tightly. I looked to Stefan. He nodded at me a sign to say let go. I sighed and stopped.

" Say what you want or I'll kill you. Easy enough right?" I put back a huge innocent smile on my face.

" I want what your uncle wants. Johnathan Gilbert's invention." She finally stated.

" He's not my uncle. I disowned him." I shrugged. Elena laughed and from the corner of my eye Stefan was doing the same. Isobel just glared.

" How do you know my uncle?" Elena calmed down.

" I used to spend a lot of time here when I was younger. John had a crush on me for years. He was the first one that told me about vampires." Isobel answer the older girl.

" So what made you want to be one?" Elena asked getting a bit off topic.

" It's a very long list of reasons, Elena. All of which I'm sure you've thought about." Isobel told her.

" No." Elena shook her head.

" That was your first lie. It's inevitable Your sister-." I kicked her leg under the table. She groaned covering her mouth trying to stop herself from yelling.

" We don't have what you want." Elena said and got up but Isobel reached out and grabbed Elena's arm. I reached my hand out and my hand burned her skin. Like if she didn't have daylight ring and then sun burned her. She let go instantly.

" Tell Stefan to go back over there." She groaned out.

" Nahh." I sat back down. Stefan came and stood behind my chair.

" We don't have it." Elena told her again. I mean she's not lying. We don't have it. Damon does.

" l know that but Damon does and you're going get it for me." She glanced at me quickly.

" He's not going to give it to me." Elena said.

" Then the blood will be on your hands." Isobel finishes and gets up but not before I gave her a 2 second aneurysm. Elena starts to cry. I brought her into a hug.

" El she is not worth crying for. That is not a mother. She is nothing to you. She shouldn't get your tears. You deserve better and you had it. Plus if you want I can kill her." I suggested. This caused her to laugh.

" Your right. Thank you Liz." I smiled at her.

" Of course." I looked to my phone.

" I have to go meet my mom and Harper. I have a guest coming." I got up.

" Who?" Elena and Stefan asked.

" I guess you'll see later tonight when you go
back home." I smirked. I kissed Stefan and left the grill.

::

I walked into the house. I went to the kitchen where I heard voices. I saw mom and Harper making a cake. Mom was teaching Harper.

" Do I mix now?" Harper asked.

" Yupp. Just not hard because then it would come out the bowl." Harper nodded at her.

" What kind of cake is it?" They both jumped at my voice.

" ALIZA!" Harper sped and hugged me. Ever since we saved him he's been like a big brother. He's so kind, sweet and caring but when it comes down to it he is protective and won't take shit from anyone especially now
that my mom taught him everything.

" Hey Harp." I laughed. He put me down.

" Your guest is upstairs in your room."  Harper told me. I kissed his cheek.

" Your the best Harp." He smiled. I sped to my room. I saw the person sitting on my bed scrolling on their phone.

" Ready?" They looked up at me with the biggest smile.

" Beyond ready." I smiled at the come back.

" Let's go then." We portaled to my room in the Gilbert house hold.

" Place your stuff on my bed for now. You can get it when the surprise is over." They nodded and put it down.

" Let's go." We walked to my brothers room. I knocked and I heard a come in. I looked to the person and told them to wait. I walked in and
saw Jeremy on his bed playing on his phone.

" I have a surprise for you." He looked up from his phone.

" Okayyyy." He dragged out the y.

" Your going to love it." I smiled.

" You better not be lying." He glared playfully.

" I'm not. Come in." I called out. They walked in and stood by my side by the door.

" Vicky?" He whispered out. Tears formed in his eyes.

" It's me Jer." Tears forming in the girls eyes to. He got up and ran to her. He picked her up and kissed her spinning her around.

" My job here is done." I turned to walk out.

" Aliza!" I turned to look at Jeremy.

" Thank you." He smiled, his arm wrapped around her waist.

" You needed this. Plus now Anna can stay away. It's a win win. Please don't be loud." I winked at them and left the room hearing them laugh. Matt knows she's back and that she's staying with us. I told him that she left to go to rehab to better her self and that she contacted me so she can surprise Jeremy.

" I always loved how much you cared for
him." I turned to the voice.

" Who are you again?" I glared at John.

" You can be mad all you want but I'm not going anywhere." He said.

" We'll see about that and plus I have other places to go where I don't have to see you everyday." I leaned back on my door.

" Like your boyfriend's Stefan's house." He asked.

" Yup and my moms." I winked and walked into my room and playing on my piano.

::

I walk down stairs and there's a knock on the door. It was only Elena and I. Jeremy took Vicky to the school. I swear that always happens to me. I open the door to see Bonnie.

" Hey Bon. How's Grams? I know we talked on the phone but it's not the same." I pulled her into a hug.

" She's good. She just has to rest more. The magic took a toll on her." I nodded and pulled away.

" Where's Elena?" She asked.

" Upstairs. ELENA, BONNIE'S HERE FOR YOU!" I screamed. She walked downstairs and went to the door.

" Ready?" I asked. She nodded.

" Let's hit the road!" I ran to Bonnie's car so I can sit in the passenger seat before Elena.

::

A guy jumps on the trailer above Matt. Matt's arm gets crushed. I see Elena try to run for him, but Isobel grabs her.

" Help Matt. I'm going to help Elena." I told Stefan who nodded. I ran beside Elena. Isobel let go immediately.

" Your a real pain in the ass. You hurting high school kids is pathetic. Pick on someone you can hurt you." I went to attack her and she flinched but Elena held me back before I could do anything.

" Why are you doing this?" Elena asked her.

" I'm showing you how easy it is to hurt the people that you care about." Isobel looked at Elena only.

" Do you want to see how easy it is for me to kill you?" I tilted by head to the side. My eyes flashed red and orange causing her to cower back.

" Hand it over and all will be stop." She recovered.

" I told you, Damon is not going to give it to me." Elena shook her head.

" You under estimate how much he cares for you. Plus, he'll give it to your sister. No questions asked." I glared at her

" He'll kill you before he gives it up." Elena told her.

" Is that before or after I kill your brother Jeremy?" I turned back to where Jeremy last was to see Vicky come behind a guy that was about to take Jeremy.

" I guess we'll never know." I smiled at her. Elena looked shocked that Vicky was here. They left before she could see them.

" Get me the watch or next is Caroline." Isobel sped out.

::

" Absolutely not!" Damon raised his voice.

" Just hear me out." Elena begged Damon.

" I'm not gonna give the device to Isobel so she could give it to John who is going to turn it to kill me. I like being a living dead person." Damon exclaimed. I smiled at the joke at the end.

" But it'll be useless, Bonnie can take its power away." Elena motioned to the witch.

" I don't trust her." Damon looked to the witch.

" I can remove the original spell." Bonnie told Damon.

" No. I'll get to Isobel before she can lay a hand on Caroline." Damon looked Elena in the eyes.

" Are you even up for this? I mean no offense, you're no Emily Bennett. Emily knew what she was doing." Damon turned his gaze to Bonnie.

" I've been practicing." Bonnie looked back at him. I groaned.

" How about if I do it? You trust me right?" Damon turned to me.

" You know I do." He spoke softly. You can tell it was different from when he talked to Elena and Bonnie.

" Then let me do it. You know I'll never let anything happen and I'm really tired of Isobel." Everyone in the room laughed lightly. Damon looked at me for a moment and handed me the watch.

I allowed the watch to levitate in the air right in front of me. My magic wrapped around it absorbing all the power that was in that watch to make it completely useless. The lights in the room flickered and after 2 minutes I was done. All my magic stopped and before the watch could fall I caught it. I passed it to Elena.

" Now what?" Damon asked.

" We give it to Isobel." Elena and I said together.

::

We're in the town square, Elena and I are waiting for Isobel. She arrives behind us.

" Where is the device?" We turned to her.

" I don't know. Elena you have it?" I asked jokingly.

" I don't know Aliza. I gave it to you." Elena played along.

" Is that what fell into the garbage disposal?" I continued.

" I think so." Elena smiled.

" Oh well we don't have it." I shrugged and looked at Isobel who was getting tired of the games.

" Do you really think I came alone?" A guy and a girl appear behind us.

" Do you think we came alone?" Damon, Stefan and my mom appeared behind her.

" I mean I can take you all down by myself but It's whatever." I shrugged with a smirk.

" For god sakes just hand it over." She stuck her hand out. Elena was about to give it to her.

" No no. She has to say it nicely." I pulled Elena back.

" May you please hand the watch over?" That must have took a lot of pride to put aside.

" Yes you may." I motioned for Elena to give it to her.

( Play song now )

" You took a risk with Damon. How did you know that he was gonna give it to us?" Elena asked stopping in front of the woman.

" Because he's in love with your sister." My heart stopped. I looked to both boys. Stefan had a look on his face that read "I knew it" and Damon had a " Was it that obvious" look. I looked away from them to my mom. She nodded.

It is time to tell them. You have to. She left with a pop. Isobel and her goons already left.

I walked to the boys and stuck my hand out for them to grab. They looked at each other and put their hands in mine. I turned to Elena and saw her already walking home. I looked at both boys and portaled way.

::

We popped into the boarding house. I pulled them to the living room. They sat on the couch and I sat on the little table in front of them.

" Is it true?" Stefan spoke up first looking at his brother.

" Yes. I swear Stefan I tried to push them down and away but they never leave." Damon said guiltily to his brother. They we're at such a good place and he didn't want to mess that up.

" Your my soulmate to." I blurted out. They both picked their heads up to look at me.

" Me and Damon have something called a sacred bond. It's a bond that is built off of real feelings one has for the other. This bond is created naturally. Without each other we wouldn't be complete.What me and Stefan have is called a pure soul bond. That's a bond where when both meet they immediately feel drawn to one another. Earth put us together because they knew that without each other we would probably be screwed. But what both bonds have in common is that our souls are bound to each other forever." I finished. The silence was so loud.

" Now I'm not expecting you guys to accept me and all this. You guys have come a long way and I don't want to ruin the relationship you guys created again. So if your going to end up fighting over me don't. I'm not worth your relationship. I will not be another Katherine that will tear you two apart." I spoke honestly. I looked down at my fingers.

The Salvatore's looked at each other. They we're having a silent conversation with their eyes but it turned into light whispers only they can hear.

" Your worth it." Damon spoke finally.

" You are everything Katherine is not. Never compare yourself to her." Stefan added on.

" We want you in our lives. You mean everything to us and that will never change." I looked up at both boys.

" We want you. Even if that means we're sharing. Your worth it." Stefan smiled at his soulmate.

" You mean it?" I asked my eyes full of hope as I looked to the for reassurance.

" We can't lie to you. Now come here." Damon patted the space between them. I got off the table and sat between them. I rested my head on Stefan's shoulders as he put his arm around my shoulders and head on mine. I intertwined my left hands with Damon's.

This is was my safe haven. I felt safe and complete. No one was taking them away.

I think this was on of my best chapters yet. I loved writing this one so much❤️ I'm sorry if you didn't want Damon as another soulmate but I decided why not and switched it. They will get their happy endings....maybe.😂 I hope you enjoyed!
