Chapter Text
"You ready for the confrontation?" Venus asks her sister. She and her friends had decided not to interfere to stop Vicki from getting bitten by Damon. Venus had thought it would be better if she did her job from The Other Side, when she dies.
"As ready I can be." Elena replies back. Their conversation breaks when Stefan appears behind Elena and greets her.
"Hi."
"Hi." Elena greets him back with a smile. "I did it again, didn't I?" Stefan asks with a apologetic smile.
"Yeah." She chuckles. Venus wanting to escape the tension, kisses Elena's cheek and with a 'Hi' to Stefan, she excuses herself away, and goes to Jeremy.
"Gods, Remy, you wouldn't believe to tension these two were emitting." Venus says, sighing with relief. Jeremy chuckles, "Well, I guess I can thank the gods that I didn't have to be there. I swear it's because of the doppelgänger spell." Venus looks at him with a glare and slaps his arm playfully. This lets Jeremy break down into a full blown laughter, earning few weird looks from others near them.
"Shut up, it's not funny." Venus being the mature teenager she is, technically adult, stick her tongue out. "Such a child you are, sœur." Jeremy teases.
"Am not, fratellino." Venus says, jumping over his back, surprising him which leads him to stumble a bit before he catches her by her legs. Looking around, Venus found Tyler, Bonnie and Caroline who were enjoying their time and then her eyes landed on Stefan and Elena. They looked happy which made a smile appear on her face. The siblings were enjoying their time when they heard a commotion.
"Someone help!" A person shouts, carrying Vicki from the forest, who was bleeding from her neck. It broke the happy mood the group was in.
Jumping from Jeremy's back, they both rush to the wounded girl. "What happened?!" Venus asks with fake alarm, knowing what happened.
"I don't know. I just found her like that in the forest." The person who found Vicki, says.
"Stop the bleeding, she is losing too much blood. Put pressure there, it might slow it down." Then she left the place and went to Elena and grabbed her arm, effectively snapping her out of her staring. "Take Jeremy and Tyler and go home, I will be back soon with Bonnie and Caroline soon and we'll have a slumber party." Venus whispered in Elena's ears and went to find the girls mentioned. Elena nodded and excused herself from Stefan and got to the work her sister said to do.

Venus, Caroline and Bonnie were in Mystic Grill, having a conversation, knowing Damon Salvatore was near. Although Caroline was a vampire since she had fully unlocked her bloodlust, neither of the Salvatores or the other supernatural other than her friends could tell she was a vampire.
Her heart was pumping just as normal as a human would have and didn't required to have a lapis lazuli stone jewelry enchanted to walk in the sunlight as Venus had tweaked the vampire curse a bit and made her immune to compulsion and sunlight. Vervain didn't affect her much as the other vampires, but caused great discomfort.
Being near Damon Salvatore for a while was enough for Venus. She didn't want her friends to be in danger, not that they could not protect themselves, but she didn't want to take any chances. Even if Damon Salvatore got to Caroline by any chance, it would reveal them as the group that hunts the supernatural.
That would not be favorable for them and so Venus sent the girls away to her home and went to sit near Damon and ordered a bourbon shot. She could feel the older Salvatore, raking his eyes over her body, assessing her. She turned to him and with a welcoming smile, she asked, "You're new in town?"
"Yeah, how would you know?" Damon asks the blue-gold-eyed beauty. Taking a sip of her drink, she says, "Small town and all, so you kind of know everyone here." She shrugs off.
"What's your name, beautiful?" He asks, charmingly. Licking her lips, Venus answers, "Venus."
"Like the Roman Goddess of Love?"
"You know your Mythologies, Ocean Eyes."
"That I do, and Ocean Eyes?" Damon inquires with a raised eyebrow. "Wellll..." Venus trails off. "Since you haven't told me your name yet, so Ocean Eyes is the best I can give." She finishes with an apologetic face and a smile.
"Damon. My name is Damon" He introduces himself with a smirk. "Anything else you want to ask, beautiful?"
"Try not to die in this town, Damon Salvatore...........and stay away from my friends, will you?" Venus says pleasantly and puts some bill on the table and goes away, her head held high.
