It was a dark night, as Damon and Lexi entered the fraternity house in Whitmore, where the party was being held at, after being invited in. Sure, they weren't going to college here, but it was Whitmore. No one here was bound to ask them questions about who they were. Besides, Mystic Falls had gone dull lately and he was bored after breaking up with Elena. There was nothing to do and Lexi had proven more than a decade ago, that she could have fun and make some fun. Plus, she was an old friend of Stefan's who had helped Stefan get back on track. He and Lexi had even had fun when she had tried to turn his humanity back on. It turned out that no one could help him turn it back on, until human Elena warmed herself into his heart. Without even trying to change him when she had been human, she had, over time, changed him. She had tamed the monster within. She had taught him how to let someone in without being afraid of getting hurt, how to protect those he cared about that weren't Stefan, how to show compassion, and how to just simply feel. Like Stefan, he hadn't wanted the vampire life for her. He had wanted her to stay human. When she had been human, being around her had made him feel human. He missed being human and probably always would, but those days were over with and he was at a college party with Lexi. She was a beautiful girl and she deserved to have some fun with him. She may be old, but she wasn't an Originals. She still knew how to have fun. 441Please respect copyright.PENANA07wvQScTmx
They walked over to a food and drink table and he grabbed a cup of alcohol. He then took a sip, while she ate some crackers that were on a food dish. 441Please respect copyright.PENANAaEhXRA7lCo
When a slow song came on, he set his drink down and held out a hand to her. 441Please respect copyright.PENANAMCdwrnEG8w
"Care to dance with me?" he asked with a smile. 441Please respect copyright.PENANABO6JvD3Reu
She smiled. 441Please respect copyright.PENANA6k9lffThRn
"Don't mind if I do."441Please respect copyright.PENANAcXLRrmi91O
She put her hand in his and he led her to the middle of the dancing college students. They then danced together to a few songs, before she went to sit in a chair, while he went to get her something to drink. 441Please respect copyright.PENANAonmOBJgEbO
When he came back, she wasn't there anymore, so he set the drink down and went in search of Lexi. He didn't know her very well, but he knew she wasn't the kind of girl to just disappear without a goodbye. 441Please respect copyright.PENANA9cB287YuUm

Meanwhile, Lexi lay in a lab, restrained to an autopsy-like table, a guy doing something with liquid stuff and some syringes on a counter. even though she was weak from the vervain, she still tried to get out of her restraints, but they were made of steel. She couldn't get free. 441Please respect copyright.PENANA9qo8KDLJaK
"You're awake," he greeted her. 441Please respect copyright.PENANAQSjXR1rKl3
"Who are you? What the hell do you want with me?" she growled at him. 441Please respect copyright.PENANA0mzvLipFEd
"I'm Wes Maxfield. My family made the Augustine Vampire Society. This is all that's left of it. I'm continuing what my family started. By the time I'm done with you, you're going to be craving vampires, instead of humans," he explained. 441Please respect copyright.PENANAURni0BqyFW
She fought against the restraints, not wanting to become an Augustine vampire. She had heard of the stories. They were worse than Rippers. 441Please respect copyright.PENANA27ACTx5FE1
He walked over to her with a full syringe in hand. 441Please respect copyright.PENANAIHzC4vFtGE
"This will only hurt a little."441Please respect copyright.PENANAgGo7qk7mic
Just as he was getting ready to pierce her skin, Damon arrived and through him away from her. 441Please respect copyright.PENANALLUzKvX2nX
With vamp strength, Damon broke the restraints and gently took the tube out of her arm.441Please respect copyright.PENANA60FUmcnQLx
"Damon?" she said weakly, amazed that he of all people was rescuing her. 441Please respect copyright.PENANATIaqHz6i4q
"I'm here. I've got you," he replied, as he gently picked her up in his arms. 441Please respect copyright.PENANAf1f2ToHps9
She rested her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arms weakly around his neck. 441Please respect copyright.PENANA6BmdE5eNyV
As he left at vamp speed, she closed her eyes. 441Please respect copyright.PENANAa1KzQYteP2

Once in his room, Damon layed her gently down on his bed and sat on her bedside, looking down at her. That had been a close one with Wes, but he had rescued her in time. If anything ever happened to her, Stefan would kill him. 441Please respect copyright.PENANAOsEeRBsfgr

When she woke up, she was in Damon's bed with him seated on her bedside, and she was feeling much better.441Please respect copyright.PENANAIMKkABfzKS
