Five Times Dawn & Sam Experienced Magic
My submissions for the Yellow River challenge at xoverland. I've used another two of those 5_times tables which means I only have one left to do before I've completed them all! YAY!!! I wanted to do two tables and thought it would be a great idea to separate the tables so that there is a conclusion to each one in the other. Does that make sense? Makes sense in my head anyway :P Check them out and let me know your thoughts. Concrit anyone? :D

Five Times Dawn Experienced Magic
Spellbound to Moonlight - Part One (Stefan Salvatore)
It wasn't that the word 'vampire' was thrown around a couple of times that drew her attention - after all, in today's age, vamps were considered 'cool'. No, it was the words 'magic' and 'spell' that did. Dawn looked up at Sam and noticed him surreptitiously shifting his position around the pool table. He aimed for the yellow ball to go into the corner pocket but at the last second, tilted the cue, missing the pocket by a mile.
As Dawn moved to claim her next pocket, Sam looked over at the table behind them and saw a young man talking to a woman. She brushed her dark hair back in frustration and peered anxiously around in case anyone was listening. Sam moved so that he was within earshot again as he lined up his next ball.
"Bonnie, please! I need your help."
"No Stefan.” She harshly whispered. “Do you have any idea what something like that would cost?"
"I'll pay anything..."
"It's not you it will cost.” she ground out.
He sighed before looking up at her in anguish. "Bonnie, he's my brother. And I hate seeing him like this. He's pretending nothing is wrong but I know that's not true. I just want him to be happy."
"You just want him to be in love with someone else. This isn't about Damon, it's all about Elena. What more do you want from her?"
"Nothing. This isn't about her. I don't want to take away his emotions or anything, just focus them on someone else."
"Elena is going to kill me when she finds out. After she's done with you, of course."
"I'm willing to take that risk."
She sighed haughtily. “Fine. But you know the risks Stefan. I can’t make him fall in love with anyone else. I can only suggest it - persuasively - but a suggestion nevertheless. Anyone in particular?”
“I don’t care. Maybe it would be better if it was someone we didn’t know.”
“Whatever. Meet me out front in an hour. I need to run home and grab some things first.”
She stood carefully and leaned forward as if to say something before thinking twice about it and walking away. Dawn looked across at Sam, her expression matching his as they silently decided to wait the hour out and see what was really in the works. She aimed her last shot, the ball smoothly sailing across the table and hitting the black ball hard enough to knock it into the corner pocket. She put the cue on the table and pumped her fists in the air, elated over her victory, even if Sam had been distracted. He grinned back at her and began setting up the balls again for another round. Her victory dance took her in a circuit around the pool table and drew the eye of a couple of patrons, one being a man who had been previously talking with a witch at his table and had felt the heavy weight of eavesdroppers upon his shoulders.

A Hex on Starlight - Part One (Lana Lang)
Dawn looked up into the dark night sky and tried to search for any stars. The city lights usually drowned them out and it was only those that lived in the country that could see them. But ever since the stars had started dying a week ago, the city lights had been minimised as the population looked to the diminishing lights in a desperate attempt to imprint them on their memories.
While those in the scientific community looked to the skies for an answer to the extinction of the stars, the supernatural community had desperately been searching the culprit before the earth blew up. The stars were usually a beautiful sight to behold and Dawn couldn't help but think that whomever was responsible was hurting pretty badly if they were trying to destroy them.
It was only those that were powerful or stupid that were taking the risk of looking for whoever had stripped the night of some of its light and Dawn wasn't quite sure where she and Sam fit in. They certainly weren't a duo to be messed with but she doubted that they had the ability to kill off the stars, even if they worked together on it.
They had found a balance, she and Sam, a balance between who they were and what they were capable of. Both having a core of energy, it wasn't until they met that they were able to channel it properly and work together to defeat those out to destroy humanity. They were a force to be reckoned with - almost as dangerous as their siblings (if they ever had the guts to work together).
A contact of theirs had led them to a decrepit old mansion on the outskirts of a non-descript town in the middle of nowhere. It screamed, 'home of an axe murderer' but they entered nevertheless and had come face to face with a wall of darkness as they were knocked out almost simultaneously. Sam had woken first to find they were bound by old, thick ropes to a wrought iron bed frame in a dusty room and had been trying to fray the ropes when Dawn had stirred.
The first thing she'd seen when her eyes opened and her vision swam back into focus was the almost entirely black night sky, the moon being the only sliver of light available.
"Are you alright?"
His worried voice drew her gaze from the window to see his mouth set in a grim line as he searched her over for any sign of injury.
"Apart from the splitting headache, I'm fine. Did you see anything?"
He shook his head and began sawing the ropes on the bed head again. "Too quick."
"Yeah, that's what I thought," she said, shifting herself into a more comfortable position. "I'd say this means we're on the right track but it's kinda hard to tell these days."
"Well, I've got a massive headache but no real injury so I think it was probably magic. I'd say we're on the right track."
"Well it's still dark out so i'd say we've got a few hours to get free before things start heading south."
"I'd say even less than that," came a voice from the doorway and Dawn and Sam both looked up to see a thin, dark-haired woman leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed. "If you don't start talking, you've got much less than that."

A little over half an hour later, Bonnie returned with a satchel over one shoulder and a chip on the other. Her head popped into the room for a moment before she spotted him sitting at the table and she nodded outside, drawing him to his feet and out the door. Dawn and Sam followed quickly. Bonnie was walking ahead, her direction leading her into an empty looking spot, but Sam’s eyes were darting around, peering at the few faces still wandering around for the man he was originally following. He squeezed Dawn’s hand in concern, the one gesture saying more to Dawn than a brief whisper, and she instantly relaxed her body in a show of casualness to anyone who might be observing them.
They crossed the road and followed the path that Bonnie had taken, Sam leading when pathway became to narrow for two people side by side. It opened into a large forest and Dawn tightened her grip on her bag around her shoulders just as Sam was flung back from her. He hit a tree behind him before falling to the ground heavily and looking up to see Stefan holding Dawn by the throat.
“Why are you following us?”
Sam stood shakily as he began pulling things from Dawn’s bag. When he pulled her stake out his grip loosened and he looked up at her in confusion. As he looked back at Sam slowly standing, he dropped his raised hand and Dawn's own went to her throat.
"You're Hunters?"
Sam nodded. "But we're just checking things out. We know what you're planning on doing-"
"And you want to stop me?"
Dawn sidestepped him and stood beside Sam. "Do you even know how badly this could go? What you could be doing?"
He dropped his head for a moment but when he looked back at them, he sighed. "He's my brother. Don't you understand that?"
"This isn't out of some twisted response to family loyalty. It's jealousy, 101."
Stefan stepped forward, his feet barely making a noise. "You're gonna turn around and leave, forgetting everything you know about this."
Sam and Dawn turned around and began walking away. After a few steps, Sam looked back over his shoulder and nudged Dawn. Seeing the spot empty and only moonlight edging its way through the canopy onto the trees below, they quietly made their way toward the speck of light in the distance.
They knelt behind a small bit of shrubbery and Dawn watched as Bonnie put together all the necessary things for the spell, her blue eyes searching her memory for the ingredients the witch would need. Upon seeing the woman enter a handful of seeds, Dawn stood quietly and pulled Sam to his feet. As she led them away, Sam grabbed her hand questioningly. Seeing they were out of earshot, she leant forward.
"Bunch of smoke. That's all it will be. Perhaps the witch wasn't as easily led astray as we thought."
Sam grinned and gave one last look over his shoulder before following Dawn.
