Even vampires can change 26

Hope’s POV
I choose for a jeans like always combined with a red top that hugged my upper body perfectly. Above of that I wore a white and black checked shirt that hung open. When I came out of the bathroom, Damon was leaning against the wall across of the door. I twirled around.
“Approved?”I asked. “I don’t like the shirt.”he said. “Why not?”I asked a bit hurt, because it was one of my favourite shirts. “Because it’s not mine.”he replied. “Oh, I see...”I said and walked over to his closet. Out of it I pulled one of his black shirts. I threw my black and white checked shirt onto the bed and pulled his shirt on instead. To be honest, hanging open like it did now, it was a really cool jacket.
“Much better.”Damon commented. “Told you you should wear my clothes more often.”. “Just admit that the main reason behind you liking it when I wear your shirts, is that other people then immediately know I’m your girl.”I pointed out. “And you find that a bad thing?”he asked. “No.”I told him and walked over to him. “I like it to be your girl.”.
I stood on my tiptoes to match his height and kissed him.
As soon as our lips connected I felt how he put his arms around my waist so he could pull me as close as possible to him. I also noticed that he lifted me a bit up because my toes didn’t touch the ground anymore. When we broke the kiss a few minutes later we gazed into each other’s eyes.
“And I like it that I can call you my girl.”he whispered.

Stefan’s POV
I was in the living room when I heard them walk down the stairs. “Morning.”I greeted my brother and Hope. “I’m glad to see that you’re back on your feet.”. “You’re not the only one.”Damon commented.
“So, I’ve heard you organised a tea party for me?”Hope asked. “Yeah, I called everyone who I could think of. Elena and Jeremy, Caroline and Matt, Bonnie of course and Alaric.”. Just now I noticed what Hope was wearing. “Is that Damon’s shirt?”I asked her.
“See, told you they would notice.”she told my brother. “Ah, but that means the point of my plan works.”Damon replied. “What plan?”I asked not knowing if I wanted to hear the answer. “Damon’s macho behaviour got back from vacation.”Hope explained. “By wearing his shirt he hopes that other guys get the hint that I’m his girl.”.
“Damon’s macho behaviour went on vacation?”I asked confused. “When?”. “Ha-ha, really funny.”my older brother said sarcastic. “The two of you should have your own comedy show.”. “I know.”Hope said smiling and gave him a kiss on his cheek. I shook my head.
“You know, sometimes I don’t get it why you fell for him.”I told my ‘sister-in-law’. “As long as I know it, right?”she asked with a smile. “Okay, I’m going to get a glass of blood.”Damon informed us. “Animal of course.”he quickly added when he saw Hope’s glare. “No ravens!”she yelled after him before he ran out the front door.
“Why no ravens?”I asked curious. “Because they’re my favourite animals.”she replied. “Ever since I was a little girl I fell in love with black birds.”. “No kidding.”I answered. She looked at me confused. “You do know in which animal Damon prefers to change, right?”I asked her. “Yeah, I know.”she replied with a smile.

Hope’s POV
“Okay, so what do we need?”Bonnie asked me. We were standing in the kitchen. The whole kitchen counter was covered with all sorts of stones, herbs, feathers and other stuff I thought that we could use.
“We’ll start easy.”I told my fellow witch. “Protection charms.”. “Okay, and how do we start with that?”she asked again. I smiled and looked at the small crowd that was standing in the kitchen as well. Eventually my eyes rested on the Salvatore brothers.
“Pop quiz guys.”I told them. “Skin as hard as stone, eyes as dark as night. Teeth are filled with poison, though the tongue is sharper. What am I?”. Both Stefan and Damon mimicked my smile.
“Rattlesnake.”they said in sync. “Impressive.”I commented. “Even after almost a century you still know the answers to my riddles.”. I took three thin twigs I had pulled earlier that day from an oak tree in the garden. While I held my hand above the twigs I whispered the spell. On the background I heard how some gasps escaped the mouths of my public as they witnessed how the twigs wove into each other and formed a beautiful bracelet of a rattlesnake that bit in his own tail.
“I also have Greek coins for the ones who are interested.”I informed. “And of course angelica root, Devil’s shoestring roots, silver dimes and all other amulets that I have collected in my long life as a witchpire.”.
“You’ve done this before, haven’t you?”the guy named Alaric asked. “Oh, you have no idea.”I told him. “Now, if you’ll excuse Bonnie and me, we have to cook up some protection potions and when we do, the kitchen is of limits for non-witches.”.
I saw how Damon wanted to protest but I beat him to it. “Vampires inclusive.”I told him and pointed towards the door that leaded to the living room. “Out.”.
