Rebel Just For Kicks: Kol Mikaelson [1]

07: Haunted

MJ was trekking through the woods. Stefan had told her to start looking without him because he and Elena were having a 'serious conversation', and MJ couldn't help but think his priorities were a little in the wrong place, but then again, she'd never been in love, she didn't know what he'd be feeling. She had to assume he was worried that the newly turned Vicki would show up to talk to Jeremy and still be hungry. 

MJ had had to recast her tracking spell, which gave her a minor headache, but she was following Vicki's trail through the woods. She was powering through.

"Boo!"

She jumped out of her skin, whipping out Logan's gun and pressing it into a chest, right over the heart. Damon's heart

"Slow down there," he knocked it a little to the left, "I come in peace."

"Seriously!" She hissed.

"Good to know you didn't just bleed out."

She lowered the weapon, "As I said, I can heal myself."

"And you took the gun."

"I took the gun."

"May I ask why?"

"Because I wanted it."

MJ brushed past him to continue looking for Vicki, only he decided to walk with her.

She looked at the map, at her feet crunching on twigs, and then at him, "Thank you."

"Thank you?"

"For offering me your blood."

"Oh," He shrugged nonchalantly, "That."

"I still think you're an ass, and I'm still pretty tempted to kill you, but I have manners, so thank you."

"Can't have Vicki Donovan steal my chance to kill you first, now can I?"

"Yeah, well, if someone else drives a stake through your heart don't expect me to stop 'em."

"And here I thought you could owe me one."

"I didn't actually take the blood,"

Damon huffed, "You really don't like me."

"Give me one reason why I should?"

"I've just saved that girls life."

"How have you saved Vicki's life?"

"She was going to grow up, die of an overdose far too young, and do nothing with her life, now she can do anything."

"We'll see," MJ really hoped that was what ended up happening. 

She wanted Vicki to get to be happy.

They continued walking a little bit further, coming to the edge of the forest, near the clearing that led to the school gym parking lot. It was late, so if Vicki was there, they should be able to just knock Vicki out and disappear.

"She's nearby?" Stefan appeared on their left.

"Nice of you to join the search party," Damon commented, somewhat sarcastically.

"Speaking of," MJ had been texted by quite a few people while traipsing through the forest, "Jeremy and Matt are organising one. They really need to hear from her if we want to stop them from getting too nosy."

"Well, if you're map's right, they will be," Stefan looked over her shoulder, pushed through the final bit of trees to enter the car park.

Then he ducked dramatically, Damon and MJ following suit.
