It was a day just like that when he met her in one of the famous bars in Chicago. the bar's owner was on Stage singing one of the 20's hits when Damon collided with a blonde beautiful girl wearing a silver dress and holding a glass of champagne in her hand, with a grim expression on her face. It just took him one look and her face and he was smitten although she looked angrily at him she was still the true definition of beauty. He apologised for colliding with her and offered her another glass of champagne instead of the one he spilled and the asked her to dance with him, they kept on dancing all night long, he flirted explicitly with her, knew it was her birthday, her name was Rebekah, she was turned when she was 22 but she refused to tell him her real age all she said was that she's way more stronger and older than him and that he shouldn't ask more about it anymore saying something along the lines of it being rude to ask about a woman's age so he dropped it and kept on having small talk with her about music, wars etc. He told here when he was turned, that he was killed by his own father and she said that her father was a terrible man too, told her about fighting in the war and she complemented him by calling him a very handsome solder.
Until they were interrupted by a blond guy with piercing eyes, high cheekbones, and an angry look on his face, he tried to drag Rebekah away but Damon stopped him, which made the stranger angrier if that was even possible.
Damon's POV
The blond guy pushed Rebekah aside & stepped in front of me making direct eye contact with me. Rebekah was nervous, maybe a little intimidated it was so clear in her voice when she tried to talk to him "Nick don't, we were just dancing it was nothing" her voice was strained although she tried to sound nonchalant, yet it was obvious this Nick guy was dangerous. I didn't budge though watching the two of them talking. His voice was controlled yet it conveyed how dangerous he was " Didn't look like nothing from here little sister, besides I don't really like to have the riff-raff roaming around my sister " I couldn't help my self then and the words just slipped off my mouth " Oh honey, I've been called worse"
His head snapped to me & his eyes gleamed with more anger, then he did something I never expected him to do, he stepped into my personal space and looked me in the eyes again when he spoke which was weird " You will turn around & leave and once you're out you won't remember me or Rebekah" he said it with a low venomous voice, I stared at him for a moment and then burst out laughing, he was eyeing me confused it took me like a minute to gather my strength to speak " Did you just try to compel me?! " I knew that my senses as a warlock were dulled by the curse Katherine forced Emily to put on me but I still felt it when this guy was close, he was more than a normal vampire or even an old vampire, he was something stronger and more threatening. The look on his face when I asked him if he tried to compel me was priceless, he stepped back in shock and then talked in a bewildered voice " How did you ...? Are you on vervain? " Oh well his question said it all, he really tried to compel me which means he's a damn original ..... Dammit they both are, that's why she didn't want me to ask about her real age, but still I felt that there is more to this guy than being an original, maybe if I touched him .... My thoughts were interrupted by him talking again " How did you resist the compulsion ? "So I just answered in my usual cocky attitude " Well that's for me to know and for you to dot dot dot "
Once the words were out of my mouth I was met by his hand around my throat and felt my air pipe crashing so I tried to talk him out of killing me " Fine fine I'll tell you, just let me go Mr. big bad hybrid " His eyes widened & Rebekah looked perplexed and he let me go so I went to one of the stools at the bar and sat down followed by both of the originals. This time when he talked his voice was a mixture of curiosity and rage " How did you know what I am? And what the hell are you? Are you on vervain? Young vampires and even the old ones can't resist my compulsion it's impossible " I let him finish his questions patiently, glancing at Rebekah she really looked betrayed for some reason, I guess she thinks I was using her to get to her brother. I felt the need to erase her doubts immediately " One question at a time .. well, I'm not on vervain I'm not stupid to ingest it willingly, I know what you are because I could sense it, and if you're curious why it's because I'm a warlock"
He looked more confused the more I talked, I stayed quiet to let the information sink in and when he stayed silent too it was Rebekah who started asking more questions " That's impossible you're a vampire, you told me you turned against your will, how can you be a witch? " Nick gave her a look as if to say - Shut the hell up -but she ignored him and kept asking more questions and throwing accusations at me; "Where you lying to me ?! What are you exactly? Are you after Nicklaus? What do you want from us ! is it Michael who sent you? Why would our father send a witch !! a bloody witch after us ?!! " ... She said it with her voice raised looking at her brother, that's when he turned to her and spoke in a deadly voice " Rebekah SHUT THE HELL UP " then he turned to me " And you'd better talk before I tear you apart limb by limb " he said pointing a finger at me. I kept my calm although I felt nervous but I tried my best to sound confident, I spent years among the Bennetts I read a hell of a lot grimoires and taught a lot of witches and warlocks how to practice magic, I learnt a lot myself and that's how I found out about the originals and the original hybrid, I know about his curse through Anyana's grimoire - one of the oldest and strongest witches in history- actually I could relate to how he feels especially when the one you love and trust the most decides to inhibit a major part of who you are just for their own selfish needs. Katherine was scared of my abilities so she decided that I should never find out about them, and if it wasn't for Emily's need to protect her family I wouldn't have found out about the curse or how to break it, we made a deal; I'll protect her family and she would give me the spell I need to break the curse and she made sure I'll keep my end of the deal, she bind the spill to her family line so that the only one who can break the curse must be a Bennett.
I looked at Nicklaus and decided to tell him the truth, it was obvious he was worried if I was sent after him & his sister " Fine, Just enough with the glares and threats. I'm not after any of you, I don't know who your father is, and I wasn't lying when I said I'm a vampire because I am one, and I prefer calling it a warlock for future reference, I was cursed before I was turned so my powers can't actually work until I break the curse and it's because it happened before I turned that I still could have my powers as a vampire but for that to happen I have to wait for another 87 years or so" I paused for a moment to take in Rebekah's reaction, she was staring at me with wide eyes and an open mouth, then I looked at Klaus closed my eyes and sighed before I resumed talking "I know about you because I've read a lot of stories about the originals and it happens that I have Ayana's Grimoire So I know the curse that your mother used on you and I knew you're the hybrid because when you almost crashed my throat I sensed it, my powers may not work but my senses are intact".
He gave me an incredulous look but his voice was calmer than before " How do I know you're not lying ? this sounds like you just made it up" He said waving his hand in the air.
The guy is really suspicious but if he didn't believe me then there's nothing I can do about it and I made sure he knows I don't care what he thinks " You don't, but you don't have a choice about it"
Rebekah was watching the both of us with an amused look on her face, she cleared her throat snapping us from our staring contest to look back at her, her voice was so sweet when she talked and her eyes were twinkling with excitement " Why don't you ask Mr. Salvatore to join us on diner Nick ? it would be a good chance to get acquainted, don't you think? " She sounded commanding and her voice now was full of confidence. Her brother looked at her for a moment then nodded, we moved to one of the secluded tables at the corner of the bar and he ordered us diner..... Never have I ever expected a boring night at Gloria's bar in Chicago to turn this interesting.
