Second Chances

Bloodlines

Vicki's POV

I wake up in the middle of the night by my phones incessant ringing. I groan and pick it up.

"What?" I whine.

"Wakey wakey sleepy head. Wanna go on a road trip?"

"Where, Damon?"

"I need to go to Georgia to see a friend. Lexi lives there." I perk up.

"I'll be ready for you to pick me up."

"Already here." I groan.

"Give me five minutes."

I pick out an outfit and grab the ring for Lexi's boyfriend.

I walk out to Damon's car to see an unconscious Elena in the back seat. I raise my eyebrow at him.

"I'll explain, get in." I sigh but get in.

Let's just say, I'd rather go on a road trip with ANYONE else. Damon is so annoying. He talks too much and his taste in music sucks.

"Are you going to explain the knocked out girl in your backseat?"

"She was in a car accident. Said she hit a man, a vampire I think. She found out about Katherine."

I start to laugh. "Damn, Stefan's got a lot of explaining to do."

It's day time when Elena wakes up. She groans and sits up.

"Where are we?"

"Georgia."

"Georgia? No, no. No, we're not. Seriously Damon where are we?"

"Seriously, we are in Georgia." I say.

"How ya feeling?" He asks. "There's no broken bones. I checked."

"My car, there was a man. I hit a man. But then he got up and- who was that?"

"That's what I would like to know."

"Where's my phone? Okay. We really need to go back. Nobody knows where I am. Pull over." He keeps driving. "I mean it Damon, pull over. Stop the car!"

"Ugh you were so much more fun when you were asleep." He pulls to the side of the road and they both get out. I stay in my seat but roll down my window.

I space out until I hear her phone ringing and I hear Stefan on the other end.

"Damon I swear to god if you touch her-" I reach out of the window and grab the phone out of his hand.

"I'm here too. I won't let him do anything. I promise." I hear him sigh and I hang up the phone, handing it back to Damon.

They get back in the scar after a minute and we keep driving until we reach a bar.

"Damon, I'm not old enough. They're not going to let me in."

"Sure they will."

When we enter, we are greeted by a women. The owner, I'm assuming. She kisses Damon. Wow.

We all get drinks as she talks to Damon and Elena. I look around and see a familiar face. I stand up and walk over to them.

"Hey stranger." The blonde haired woman engulfed me in a hug immediately. "Hey Lex." I see a man sitting next to her. "Is this him?" She nods.

"Vicki, this is Lee. Lee, she's the one who gave me the ring." We shake hands.

"It's really nice of you to do that. Thank you."

"Of course, she's a friend. Speaking of..." I sit down across from them and pull out the ring.

Their eyes light up. I place it in the light and utter the quick spell. When it is done, I hand it to him and watch as he puts it on. He puts his hand in the ray and it doesn't burn.

"Thank you Vicki, really."

"Of course. Couldn't get you one and leave your guy without it now could I?"

After we get better acquainted, we get to the fun part. Drinking. This whole day had been so much fun and I love hanging out with Lexi.

After I sober up a little bit, I find Bree.

"Um hey Bree? I wanted to ask you something. I'm sort of new to this so I was wondering if I could look over one of your grimoires or something?"

"You feel like a vampire, but you're something else aren't you?"

"I'm a siphon too."

She has a look of understanding in her eyes. "You're a heretic. Listen, I've collected plenty of grimoires over the years. I'll let you take one with you."

"Like keep it?"

"Of course, anything for a newbie."

My day just keeps getting better and better.
