Who: Johanna & the Salvatore brothers
Where: The remains of the Salvatore villa in Italy
When: Midnight Tuesday, as stated here
What: See above.
Warnings: Maybe? They're a bunch of cranky vampires who have every reason to hate each other.

Johanna was waiting, she'd been waiting for at least a half hour, she believed in being more than punctual. That and she wasn't entirely sure she could trust Damon not to have set up an ambush or traps of some sort.

Of course, come midnight she was perched lightly on a wrought iron veranda chair that had apparently survived the inferno intact, and she hardly looked as if she'd been traipsing through months-old cinders for the past half hour, in fact she looked as if she'd just arrived.

	"We're being very, very stupid," Damon mumbled, running his fingers through his hair. He sighed, flanked by his brother as they walked toward the villa. (Reply to this)

	"Probably." He agreed quietly, he'd gotten used to moving in near-silence again, "But has that ever stopped you?" Clearly he was exempt from any stupidity, because he always thought things through. (Reply to this)

	"Of course not." He put his hands into his pockets, shrugging and smiling. "But this just smells bad." He sighed and looked to his brother. "Why did you suggest this?" (Reply to this)

Stefan shrugged, the movement barely perceptable to anyone who wasn't Damon, and likely anyone who wasn't Johanna either, "Tired of hiding. Contrary to popular belief, I don't like staying holed up for long stretches of time."

Johanna unfolded from her seat as they approached, hands folded lightly in front of her, looking every inch the proper lady she was raised as, though there was a new steel to her that she hadn't possessed before she'd had a place of her own, "So nice of you to join me."

	"We only did it because we really don't want to hide anymore. Besides, I'm sort of an idiot. It's not like you're anything to be scared of." Damon folded his arms and narrowed his eyes. He was a little bit unnerved by how much more she reminded him of Katherine, but he didn't want to show it. (Reply to this)

She tilted her head, studying them both for a moment. It was easy to see why most people likened her to a bird, she did it by herself most of the time, "Which is rather what I've been attempting to tell you all along." She smiled beautifically then, serene and sweet and forgiving, "It's about the portrait, isn't it?"

The smile set Stefan on edge, shifting just a little settling, ready to move if he had to, honestly he had some doubt that they'd be able to take her down if it came to that.

	Damon thought he might be able to take down someone young, even if she'd been turned by someone stronger than them. He didn't move, just kept his arms folded and stared at her, hoping he could bore holes through her. "Of course it is, and you know it." (Reply to this)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-17 02:07 am UTC (link)
	"Well you can't have looked at it very closely then." She said, head still held high, fully confident in her ability to stare them both down. Stefan, who hadn't, in fact, seen the portrait at all, asked quietly: "What do you mean?" There was a haughty brow arch, "The mirror." She said, shrugging delicately, "It was broken." (Reply to this)

	winning_side 2009-09-17 02:09 am UTC (link)
	"So? Mirrors still reflect things, even when broken." Damon rolled his eyes. "Look, if you're going to tell me about your dreams, can we just skip to the part where you try to kill us? I don't want to be bored." (Reply to this)

Johanna actually looked hurt at that, even startled by the accusation, "It was broken so she couldn't get out!" She shook her head, "I don't want to kill you! Why should I?"

Stefan, for his part, was just confused, and as always easily swayed by tears, or in this case the threat of them, he knew it was a weak point for him and so he bit his tongue to keep from saying anything, he'd let Damon take it from here.

	Damon sighed. He didn't know that he had actually started to care about Johanna until just that moment when he moved toward her. "I wish you'd told me that," he murmured, reaching out to stroke her hair. (Reply to this)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-17 02:41 am UTC (link)
	"I tried." She said, sniffling once, eyes brimming. Either she was sincere, or she was damn good at this, "You didn't want to hear it." Something about the situation was still putting Stefan on edge, and he couldn't quite place what, or even why. (Reply to this)

	winning_side 2009-09-17 02:46 am UTC (link)
	"She tried to kill me, songbird, I wish you could see that." He dipped his head to kiss her cheek, lightly kissing the corner of her eye. "I apologize for overreacting." (Reply to this)

"I know she did." She said with another sniffle, tilting her head up minutely into the kisses for a moment before burying her face against Damon's shoulder, her next statement muffled, hardly audible, "It's more fun to keep you alive."

That was when she struck, biting down hard, going clean through shirt and skin and likely most of the way down to bone, far and away from anything vital, of course, but fully intent on keeping hold.

Stefan realized a heartbeat too late what it was that had happened, surging forward, though hesitating once he got there, not sure whether to try prying her off or prying Damon away.

	Damon reacted as soon as he felt the skin prick, glad he'd fed - and drained - a human earlier in the night. He shifted into a wolf, turning to sink his teeth into Johanna's leg, shaking once he'd gotten a hold of her. (Reply to this)

She yowled at that, the sound nearly feline and nearly a shriek, planting the foot that was being gnawed on so she could kick out at him with the other, inwardly cursing the full skirt since it was hindering her movement.

Stefan saw this as an opportunity, getting one arm around her from behind, managing to pin her arms for a moment before she got one free again, lashing out at him, fingers hooked like claws, aiming for anything she could reach at that angle, still hissing and spitting like a wildcat.

	Damon got free of her, growling when he saw her clawing at his brother, trotting and moving at an angle so he could attack her more properly. He went for her arms, trying to sink his teeth in deeply. (Reply to this)

Stefan was managing to keep his face out of range at least, but little else, trying to catch the flailing arm and not doing a very good job at it.

When the wolf caught her arm she snarled again, jerking her head up and back, butting Stefan hard, smiling toothily at the pained yelp the movement won her, as well as the freedom of movement when he staggered back, using her free arm to grab hold of the wolf's muzzle, attempting to pry him off.

	Damon kicked hard at her, snarling and growling, shifting back to his normal form. "Johanna, stop it. Stop this now. Stefan isn't the one you want, it's me." He continued to lunge at her, fangs bared. (Reply to this)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-17 04:45 am UTC (link)
	She laughed, high and bright and clear, shaking her head, aside from the slowly healing arm she didn't look as disheveled as she should have, her hair still more or less in place, "That's where you're wrong, you're a pair and far be it for me to try and separate you." (Reply to this)

	winning_side 2009-09-17 04:48 am UTC (link)
	"So, Katherine, what do you want from us, anyway?" He spat her bitter blood onto the floor, growling a bit. (Reply to this)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-17 04:53 am UTC (link)
	What ever levity she'd had moments before evaporated with a snarl, "Don't call me that!" Stefan had recovered from his headbutting and had gone to charge her again, only to find her gone, having surged forward, fast enough that she was only a blur, even in the full skirt, she snarled slamming both hands into Damon's chest. (Reply to this)

	winning_side 2009-09-17 04:57 am UTC (link)
	Damon couldn't help but chuckle, even as he was flying backward. "Uh-oh, I found Katherine's sore spot." He shook his head as he picked himself up, upset she moved so fast. (Reply to this)

	notjustblonde 2009-09-17 05:19 am UTC (link)
	Almost as soon as she'd hit him she'd already rounded on Stefan, meeting him halfway and catching his shirt, pivoting on the un-bitten foot and shoving him Damon's way, "I am not her." Stefan was almost startled by how quickly she moved, she couldn't shift, she had little or no sway over animals but he hadn't even seen her change direction. (Reply to this)

	winning_side 2009-09-17 05:27 am UTC (link)
	Damon caught Stefan and moved with him as fast as he could, away from Johanna. He was all but carrying him, moving as fast as he could, breathing hard. (Reply to this)
