Second Chances

Family Business

Vicki's POV

I'm sitting in the kitchen, sipping on a cup of tea, trying to calm my nerves. I'm in a house filled with original vampires and their psychotic mother.

I hear someone walking up behind me, it's Finn. I stand up, walking over to the kettle. I pour a new cup of tea and hand it to him before sitting back down.

"We haven't been properly introduced. You are Victoria, correct?"

"Yes I am."

"Thank you."

I turn to look at him. "For what."

"I believe you are to thank for taking away my pain. With the dagger, that is all I have felt for centuries. But one day, I didn't feel it anymore. It felt peaceful."

"You didn't deserve to feel that all of those years. I'm sorry it happened. The least I could do was lessen the pain."

I clear my throat. "I think, I think that's why I'm here. To change what would've happened. At least that's what I've been trying to do since I saw the future."

"You've seen the future? So, you know..." he trails off.

"Yes, and I know that deep down, you want to live."

"You don't know anything about me." He stands up and starts to leave.

"Sage is alive." He stops in his tracks. "I can find her for you. I want to help Finn, I want to help all of you. Please let me."

He keeps walking. I sigh. I dump out the cups of tea before making my way up to my room, trying not to come across anyone else.

I open the door to see Kol sitting on our bed. He is freshly showered and has changed into new clothes.

He looks up with a smile on his face and opens his arms for me. I giggle and walk over, settling myself onto his lap and wrapping my arms around his neck.

I nuzzle into him and sigh as I sniff in his scent.

He pulls away with a serious look on his face. "How are you feeling? Nik told me what happened."

I look down before answering. "I expected it from the others but I don't know why he would do that to me." My voice cracks near the end. "We used to be best friends." A few tears escape.

"The next time I see them, they're dead."

"I had a dream last night. I was back in that cellar. You know, when I first woke up in there and I saw Damon, I thought he was there to save me." I laugh humorlessly. "But, he was always the one that did all of the dirty work. Come to think of it, I only saw Stefan when I got there."

"I thought they both tortured you?"

I shake my head. "I only remember Damon, Mikael, and Elena. I think he just helped them capture me."

"Hmm, I'm still killing Damon though. Or if you'd rather do it?"

"I don't even have enough energy to walk down the stairs." I laugh, looking up at him. "I've tried since I got back but I just can't feed. I tried everything."

"Not everything."

"What do you mean?" I look at him confused.

He shifts backwards giving him enough room to remove his coat and shirt. He then grips my hips and moves me closer to him.

I blush. "What are you doing?"

He laughs and I blush even deeper. "Not like that."

"Then what?"

"Drink from me." He gestures to his neck.

My jaw drops. "You're kidding." I state.

"I'm not. You've tried human and animal blood but not vampire, let alone your soulmate. Try it."

I take a deep breath before moving my face closer to his neck, breathing in his scent. I place a small peck on his jugular, testing the waters as my veins appear below my eyes.

I hesitate for a second. "Go ahead." he murmurs softly.

I let out a shaky breath before letting my fangs protrude through my gums and sinking them into his neck.

The first drop hits my tongue and I prepare for the burn but it never comes.

I swallow a gulp and almost moan from the taste. It's the best thing that i've ever tasted.

I hungrily gulp down his blood, feeling the energy rush through my veins.

"Slow down Darling. Control yourself."

I breathe in and lessen my intake, eventually pulling away after I've had my fill.

I look up at him with a small smile. He brings his finger up to my mouth, swiping at a drop of his blood dripping from my lips. I quickly encase my lips around it, wanting every last drop.

I look into his eyes as I suck the blood off of his finger. He slowly pulls it out, both of us starting to breathe heavier.

Next thing I know, his lips are on mine. He dominates the kiss but I still try and fight for control.

His hands make their way to my hips and grip hard enough to bruise.

I gasp and he uses that to slide his tongue into my mouth, tasting his own blood on my tongue. He growls and pulls me closer.

I bring my own hands to his hair, gripping at his roots and pulling away from the kiss to catch my breath.

"You better not be having sex while I'm trying to sleep in the room next to yours!" We hear Bekah yell.

I chuckle, placing my forehead onto his.
