Stefan's POV
"Damon won't stop texting me." Natalie grumbles as we walk into school, hand in hand. "Why is my brother texting you?" I ask, jealously lacing my tone. "No clue. He's been texting me all morning, literally from the moment I woke up." She tells me and I tense which Natalie notices.
"What's wrong?" She asks and I look down at her before pulling her behind me to an empty classroom. I lock the door behind us, quickly turning around and grab Natalie's face in my hands, pressing my lips to hers firmly. She grips my arms as I walk her backwards, pressing her against the wall.
"Stefan, are you jealous of your own brother?" Natalie asks amused, breaking away from my lips. "Yes, when it comes to you." I answer honestly before kissing her hastily again. She moans into my mouth as she pushes my jacket off, letting it drop to the floor. I reach under her dress and rip her panties making her gasp.
"Stefan!" She scolds as I smirk. "I'll buy you more." I tell her, pressing my lips back against hers. I lift her onto a desk and undo my trousers, pulling my dick out before grabbing her legs and wrap them around my hips. I line up with her and push in, not wasting time as I move.
"Stefan..." she moans as I thrust my hips against hers. "You're only mine, Laine. No ever man will ever have you like I do." I growl as she nods, her hands gripping the back of my neck. "Who's gonna stop them?" She says breathlessly and I glare at her, moving my hand up to grip her throat tightly.
"Don't test me, Laine. I have no problem making them watch, showing them that you're mine. You understand?" I growl, thrusting my hips against hers harder. "Stefan!" She moans loudly, her nails digging into me. "I said do you understand, Laine?" I ask her again.
"I-I understand." She moans, her thigh shaking in my grip. I lower my lips to hers, kissing her harshly. I feel her clenching around my cock, her cum starting to leak out. "Stefan, I'm cumming." She whimpers, loud moans leaving her lips. "Cum for me, baby." I growl, feeling my high coming.
"Oh fuck!" She moans as her orgasm washes over her. "Fuck." I grit out as I cum. I slowly my thrusts down before slowly pulling out as she moans softly. "You belong to me, Lainey." I tell her firmly, watching as a smirk comes onto her lips. "And you belong to me, Stefan." She tells me as I cup her face in my hands, lowering my lips to hers.

Damon's POV
"Why the hell aren't you answering me, Tia?" I grunt, looking down at my phone to see Natalie hasn't replied to any of my texts. I shake my head, putting my phone away before I enter Alarics classroom, seeing Elena already inside. "Damon, thanks for coming." Alaric greets.
"Sorry, I'm late. My dog at my...uh never mind." I say, noticing the worried look on both of their faces. "Where's Natalie and Stefan?" Alaric asks and I shrug. "No idea. Tia's not replying to my messages." I tell him. "Well, she needs to be here. She's not answering my texts either." Alaric says. "Or mine." Elena adds.
I pull out my phone and dial Natalie number. "It's ringing." I mouth, tapping my foot on the ground impatiently before the line goes dead. "She cut me off!" I exclaim before I quickly type out a text. 'Tia, get your fine ass to Alarics classroom now! And if my brother's with you, drag him here.'
"Wait." Elena says with furrowed eyebrows as me and Alaric look at her. "She normally doesn't answer when..." she trails off, her face screwed up in disgust. "When she what? What's the problem?" I question but she remains silent. "God damn it Elena. Finish that sentence."
All of the sudden, the door swings open and Natalie walks in, looking hot and flustered followed by a smirking Stefan. "Hey." Natalie says causally as she fixes her dress. Stefan leans back against one of the desks, and pulls Natalie between his legs, wrapping his arms around her waist. "What's with all the furrowed eyebrows?" He asks.
"Where the hell have you two been?" Elena asks annoyed. "We was busy." Natalie replies as she rolls her eyes. "What's with the secret meeting?" She asks. "I saw Isobel last night." Alaric announces. "You have got to be fucking kidding me." Natalie grumbles, shaking her head. "Isobel's here? In town?" I question and Alaric nods.
"Did you ask her about John? Are they working together?" I question. "No." Alaric replies simply. "No, they're not?" I press. "I didn't ask." Alaric tells me. "What about the invention? Did she know about the tomb vampires?" I ask, becoming less patient. "I don't know." Alaric shrugs.
"Did words completely escape you?" I question him as I take a threatening step towards him. "Actually, I was a little too distracted by my dead vampire wife to ask any questions!" Alaric shouts. "Well, did she say what she wanted?" I ask.
"She wants to see us, Damon." Elena announces, looking at Natalie's who stiffens in Stefan's arms. "You don't have to see her if you don't want too, baby." He tells her. "She doesn't have a choice. Isobel has threatened to go on a killing spree if this meeting doesn't go ahead." Alaric speaks up.
"Well, rest in peace to the residents of Mystic Falls then." Natalie says sarcastically. Me and Stefan lightly chuckle at her remark, however, Elena and Alaric didn't find her funny. "Natalie." Elena scolds, her eyes turned into slits as she stares at her twin. "Look, I want to meet her. If I don't, I know I'll regret it. And so will you."
"Like hell I will." Natalie scoffs, shaking her head. "Why are you making me do this?" She questions Elena. "Because she's our Mom." Elena says. "No, she's not. She's the bitch who gave us up at birth because she couldn't handle it and wanted to become a vampire. That's selfish, not a mom." Natalie argues and Elena looks down at the desk.
"I'll go because I want you safe and I don't trust her. She obviously wants something." Natalie then says making Elena look at her gratefully. "I'll let her know." Alaric says and Natalie nods. "You okay?" Stefan asks her. "Yeah. Excuse me." She says quickly rushing out of the classroom and Stefan runs after her.

Natalie's POV
"I can't believe you're making me do this." I grumble as me and Elena sit in the Grill, awaiting the arrival of Isobel. Stefan is over by the pool table, not close but close enough so he can hear the whole conversation and keep his eye on me.
I can tell that Elena is nervous as she continuously drums her fingers on the table, her leg bouncing up and down as she scans the room. "Will you stop? You're driving me mad." I exclaim, catching Stefan's eye. 'You okay?' He mouths and I nod. 'I'm okay.' I tell him.
"I'm nervous." Elena whispers and I scoff. "You're the one that agreed to this." I remind her. I go to look at Stefan again only to see a dark-haired woman in front of us. "Isobel, I assume." I state unimpressed and she smirks. "Hello girls. You look just like her...well, you don't." Isobel says, looking at me. "You have my nose, but the rest is rare." She finishes, pulling out a chair and taking a seat opposite us.
"So I'm guessing you know Little Miss Bitch?" I ask knowingly as I slouch back into my chair. "That's how you can walk in the sun." I say, gesturing to her necklace hanging from her neck. "Kathrine helped me obtain it." Isobel replies.
"Who's our father?" Elena asks and I roll my eyes, already bored. "He's not important. A teenage waste of space." Isobel replies, clearly amused before she looks at me. "Kathrine would be fascinated by you." She says and I scoff. "Feelings not mutual." I say with a sarcastic smile.
"Why did you compel that man to kill himself? After he told us to stop looking for you?" Elena questions curiously and Isobel shrugs her shoulders, her face showing no emotion. "Dramatic impact. I wish it could have been more effective." She replies, her tone cold.
"Human life means that little to you?" Elena questions in disbelief. "Means nothing to me. It's just part of what I am." Isobel tells her and I scoff. "That's not true. We know other vampires that actually have feelings and care. You're just a cold hearted bitch." I say making Elena look at me in shock.
"Oh, you mean your boyfriend over there by the pool table?" Isobel ask, a small smile on her lips. "Stefan Salvatore. Why didn't you go for Damon? Or have you got your claws in him as well?" She questions. "I haven't got my claws in anybody. I'm not Kathrine." I snap.
"No?" Isobel asks amused. "So, you and Stefan didn't have a rendezvous in an empty classroom today?" She asks making me look at her shocked, feeling Stefan's eyes on me. "I have eyes and ears everywhere, Natalie." She tells me.
"Screw this." I jump up from my seat and go to walk away but Isobel swiftly grabs my wrist, squeezing it tightly making me grit my teeth. "Let go of my wrist before I break yours." I warn her. "Sit down and tell you boyfriend to walk away." Isobel says through gritted teeth.
I look up at Stefan and shake my head. "It's okay, baby." I say lowly, knowing he can hear me. Stefan stops in his tracks, his eyes watching me worriedly as I grab Isobel's wrist and forcefully pull it off my own. I sit back down, glaring daggers at the woman.
"What do you want?" Elena asks bitterly. "Well, I was curious about you both but I actually just want what your uncle John wants...Jonathan Gilbert's invention." Isobel informs. "How do you know our uncle?" Elena asks. "You ask a lot of questions." Isobel replies. "We have a right. And it would be nice if you answer them. Now, I'll ask again. How do you know John?" I questions angrily.
"I used to spend a lot of time here when I was younger." Isobel says, eyeing me carefully. "He was a little bit in love with me." She says and I roll my eyes. "I highly doubt anyone could love you." I insult making Isobel glare at me. "Well, we can't help you. We don't have it." Elena tells her.
"I know, but Damon does, and you're gonna get it for me." Isobel says, gesturing towards me with a small smirk on her face. "Get it your damn self. I'm not doing anything for you." I tell her firmly. "Well then the blood will be on your hands." She says, standing up and tucking her chair back in. "It was nice meeting you girls."
"I'm sure it was." I say sarcastically, watching her walk out of the Grill. "You happy now?" I question Elena who looks stumped. "I told you, don't get your hopes up and you did. And now look." I say annoyed before I stand up and storm out of the Grill, hearing Stefan rush after me.
"Hey, hey. You alright?" He asks concerned. "I warned Elena that this wouldn't have a happy ending." I say and he rubs the small of my back comfortingly just as Damon and Alaric run over to us. "What happened?" Alaric asks, looking at me concerned.
"She was saying some nonsense about Kathrine and how she would be fascinated by me." I tell him, noticing the shock look on Stefan and Damon's faces. "She's a psychotic bitch. She's been stalking us or got someone else, too. I mean, she's been watching me and Stefan." I inform them.
"Watching you how?" Damon asks. "She knows we had sex in a classroom at school." Stefan informs making Damon and Alaric shake their heads. "When I went to leave, she grabbed me." I add, watching Stefan gently hold my wrist, running his thumb over the bruise that's starting to form. "Wait, she grabbed you?" Damon asks angrily and I nod.

I walk away from Caroline's float, searching around for Stefan when I feel the air change behind me. I quickly spin around and groan at the sight of Isobel. "Ugh. What the fuck do you want?" I question her. "I'm your mother, Natalie. I want to be more involved in yours and your sisters lives." Isobel replies, a sarcastic smile on her face.
"Now I know you're being ridiculous. Ever since I've found about you, I've never wanted anything to do with you." I tell her firmly. "I understand that. You already have a lot of people you care about but I've been studying. Let's see if I get this right." She says, diverting her eyes to Bonnie.
"There is the witchy friend, Bonnie. Gonna stay away from that one." She says, her eyebrows raised before she looks past me. "Oh...sad little brother Jeremy." She taunts making my fists clench. "Oh, and then there's the blonde best friend, Caroline." I turn around to see Caroline working on her float.
"Obnoxious Caroline. I got all my information from her, by the way. She had no idea who I was and she just wouldn't stop talking." Isobel informs me. "Oh, and there's Matt. Elena's ex. Yappy's future ex and one of your best friends." She says making me glare at her. "You better not hurt any of them or we're gonna have problems." I tell her firmly making her chuckle. "You need to leave. Now!"
I go to walk away but Isobel grabs my wrist and pulls me back. "No! I have some friends here too. Look, you see that man over there, standing next to Matt by the float? His name is Frank, he's very handsome and he's also quite handy. He noticed that the axels are a little rusty which is very dangerous. So all you have to do is apply a little pressure..."
I watch as Frank jumps on the trailer above Matt, completely crushing his arm. "Matt!" I yell, going to run towards him but Isobel keeps her grip on me. "Hand over the device and all of this will stop." She tells me making me huff. "Are you fucking deaf as well as stupid? I already told you, Damon is not going to give it to me." I tell her.
"I think you underestimate how much Damon cares about you." Isobel replies, an amused smile on her face. "He'll kill you before he gives it up." I tell her. "Is that before or after I kill little Gilbert?" She questions, tilting her head to the right.
Narrowing my eyes at her, I didn't need to turn around to know the bitch isn't lying. "If he's hurt, you've got me to deal with." I warn her and she smirks before taking off. "Jeremy!" I call out glancing around trying to find my little brother. "Jeremy!" I call out, panic setting in as I don't see him anywhere.
"Laine? What's wrong, baby?" Stefan asks as he appears in front of me, stopping me from running. I watch his eyes travel down to my wrist, seeing a fresh bruise there making him clench his jaw angrily. "Isobel. She was here. She took Jeremy, Stefan." I tell him, fear overriding me. "We need to get him back."
"Did she do this to you again?" He asks, gritting his teeth as he gently holds my wrist, gliding his fingertips against it. "It's fine. It doesn't matter right now. We need to find Jeremy." I tell him and he nods, but I can still see the anger on his face.

Stefan's POV
"Absolutely not." Damon says, shaking his head vigorously. Elena is trying her best to get Damon to hand over the device but Damon won't be very cooperative. "I'm not gonna give the device to Isobel so she can give it to John who is going to turn it to kill me. I like being a living dead person.
"But it'll be useless. Bonnie can take its power away." Natalie tells him. "Yeah, and John and Isobel will never know." Elena adds. "I don't trust her." Damon replies. "I can remove the original spell." Bonnie assures confidently but Damon shakes his head. "No, I'll just get Jeremy my own way."
"Really?" I question, my eyebrows raised which earns a nod from Damon. "How are you going to do that? Because Isobel is a vampire and Jeremy could be dead the second you walk in the door." I tell him. Damon clenches his fists as he turns to face Bonnie. "Are you even up for this? I mean, you're no Emily Bennett, she knew what she was doing!"
"I've been practicing. What's your favourite book?" Bonnie questions. "What?" Damon asks confused. "Name a book, any book." She tells him. "Call of the Wild, Jack London." Elena answers and everyone snaps their heads on her direction. "It's his favourite book." She mumbles and Damon smirks smugly as me and Natalie share a knowing look.
Bonnie turns to face the book shelf and closes her eyes before a book starts to shake, and flies right into Damon's hand. "Jack London! Great parlour trick." He says sarcastically. "We're wasting time." Natalie comments. "I don't trust you, I tried to kill you." Damon says, looking at Bonnie.
"You're right, you can't trust me." Bonnie agrees. "But you can trust me." Natalie says making Damon look at her. "You can trust me, you know that. Damon, I need that device to save my baby brother. So, please give me the device." She says and I watch as Damon reaches into his back pocket, pulling out the device.
He carefully places it in the palm of Natalie's hand before he curls her fingers around it gently. "Thank you." Natalie says gratefully.
******
Natalie and Elena patiently wait in the town square so they can exchange the device for Jeremy. A dark figure walks out of the shadows and I watch carefully as Isobel steps out in front of them. "Where's the device?" She demands. "Where's my brother?" Natalie replies harshly, her arms folded as she glares at Isobel.
"This isn't a negotiation. Now, where is the invention?" Isobel demands again. "I'm going to ask you one more time, where the hell is my brother?" Natalie spat, anger lacing her tone and Isobel chuckles. "Do you really think I came alone?" She asks amused. Natalie and Elena glance behind Isobel to see her two vampires walk up behind her and stop a few feet away.
"Do you really think that we came alone?" Natalie asks amused, a small grin on her face as Isobel glances over her shoulder to see me and Damon walk up behind them. Isobel rolls her eyes at the two of us. "For godsake! Call home and ask to speak to your brother Jeremy." She instructs.
Elena quickly takes her phone out of her pocket and dials a number before placing the phone to her ear as Natalie continues to glare at Isobel. "You were never going to hurt him." Elena says as she pulls the phone away. "No, I was going to kill him." Isobel corrects making Natalie clench her fists.
"Don't look for any redeeming qualities in me. I don't have any." Isobel tells them, looking at Elena's shocked expression. "We don't have to be geniuses to figure that one out." Natalie says sarcastically making Isobel glare at her. "But you took a risk with Damon." Elena mentions. "How did you know he would give it to Natalie?"
"Because he's in love with her." Isobel anncouuces making me tense up as she smirks at me and Damon. Natalie whips her head round, looking at Damon confused before her eyes meet mine. She shakes her head before turning back to Isobel.
She takes the device out of her pocket and slams it into Isobel's chest making her grab it quickly before it falls to the ground. "You should've stayed dead." Natalie spat before she storms off. "Please tell me that's not true?" I ask Damon who looks at me but keeps quiet. I shake my head angrily before I speed after Natalie.
"Lainey!" I call her making her stop as I walk around in front of her. "That's not true, is it? He's not. He can't be. He likes Elena." She says in disbelief. "I don't know, baby. I'm just hoping he doesn't." I say, trying to keep my anger at bay.
"You know I don't feel anything for Damon, right?" Natalie asks and I nod. "I know you don't. I just don't want to lose you to him." I tell her and she cups my face in her hands, making me look at her. "I love you and only you. You're not going to lose me to him or anyone. I'm yours." She promises as I wrap my arms around her waist.
"Promise me you'll always be mine." I say lowly and she nods. "I promise." She says and I lean down, placing my lips on hers to kiss her softly. "I love you." She whispers against my lips making mine tilt up. "I love you." I whisper back, deepening the kiss.
