I got this idea after watching "The House Guest" this Thursday. This takes place in Damon's room right after Katherine try's to seduce him, fails, and leaves in a very put off manor. Elena comes in a few minutes later to talk. Just some cute friendship Delena. Sorry to everyone who knew about this early, I meant to get this out way sooner, but I was trying out for my high school softball team so I was super busy. :) So I hope everyone enjoys and leaves a review! :) -I Own Nothing -Lioness002
"Katherine, there are six other bedrooms in this house, go find one." I hissed pushing her off me as I grabbed Johnathan Gilbert's journal again and continued to read. I let my eyes wander over to watch her turn around and start to leave the room in rejection. When she was about to leave I turned my gaze back to the journal as I heard her begin to walk away; she had burned me one to many times for me to care anymore. She didn't care; she never did, so why should I be kind to her? No reason, no reason at all. She was a self-serving bitch that needed to learn she no longer had control over me; I had complete control of myself. I read Johnathan Gilbert's journal in silence for the next hour and a half until I heard light footsteps from down the hall followed by a voice.
"Damon?" Someone called quietly from outside the entryway of my door a few seconds later. I did not need to look up to know whom the voice came from.
"Go away Katherine." I hissed quite annoyed she could not take a hint and just go away. A small sigh escaped the speaker's lips, it sounded rejected, and Katherine did not do rejected. I turned my ice blue eyes up slightly as I turned and saw not Katherine, but Elena. "Oh, it's you." I said putting the journal down on my lap and looking at her. I could tell it was Elena and not Katherine because she was not dressed like a stripper and did not have a maniacal look on her face.
"Yep, it's me." Elena said awkwardly standing at the entryway.
"Are you stuck?" I joked as she hovered just outside my room's doorway.
"No, just wondering if I can come in." Elena said as I watched her gaze trail around the room and finally land on me. I shrugged at her question; I didn't have a problem with her being in here.
"Do I have to invite you in?" I teased as I raised a brow and watched her face pull into a small smile.
"I would be honored to be invited in Mr. Salvatore." She teased right back giving me a mock curtsy.
"Mr. Salvatore? I think you have my father and I mixed up." I said leaning forward so I could see her better.
"Damon." She laughed. I rolled my eyes and waved her in.
"I hereby invite you, Elena Gilbert, into my room." I said with a high dose of sarcasm in my voice, Elena rolled her eyes, but smiled as she took a step inside.
"Why thank you, how nice." She said walking up to the side of the bed.
"Where's Stefan?" I asked pulling the journal back up but keeping Elena in my peripheral vision.
"I think out on a hunt for animal blood. He said he needed as much as he could get because Katherine's here." She said as she looked through my pile of books. I smirked slightly at the comment. Nobody wanted Katherine here and yet she acted as if she were royalty.
"Have you seen her slink off anywhere yet?" I asked as I looked up from the journal again. Elena was standing at the foot of the bed with one hand on one of the intricately carved wooden poles and the other by her side.
"Nope. Actually I haven't seen her, which is a good thing considering I don't like her." Elena said with a small frown as her nose wrinkled in distaste. "I don't like that she's staying here either." She said pulling her arm down.
"If it helps, everyone in the house hates her." I said with a smirk. "She's a psychopathic bitch!" I said a little louder just hoping she could hear me. Elena smiled and stood silently for a few seconds. "Do you want to sit down?" I asked. I could tell she was nervous in here with me, she did not know how to act, and this was out of her comfort zone.
"Yeah, I would but there's no place to sit." She said looking around the room. "Well except for the chair covered in books." She said with a small smile. I raised an eyebrow, scooted over, and patted the spot next to me.
"There's a bed." I said with a cocky smirk.
"Right." She said smoothing out the comforter and sitting hesitantly on the edge of the bed.
"Now Elena don't be like that, I don't bite, much." I said as I did that eye thing I always did at her, I knew it bugged her but it was funny to see how she would react. "Come on." I said holding my hand out to her. I could see her bite her lip before she lightly took my hand and crawled over to sit next to me. I reached next to me and grabbed two pillows for her so she could prop herself up.
"Thank you." She said taking them and putting them against the headrest so she could lean back with comfort and criss-cross her legs.
"No problem." I said calmly as I picked up the journal again. I could feel Elena sitting next to me silently reading over my shoulder. I hated how just her presence made my heart yearn for her. She was close enough to me that our shoulders were just barley grazing but it didn't help that I could smell her small amount of perfume, it smelled like raspberry's and it was intoxicating.
"What year are you up to?" She asked pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Um, 1872." I said turning the journal around to check the year.
"Have you gotten to his research on the Originals?" She asked curiously pulling her hair behind her ear and leaning closer so she could read the writing better.
"Right, I forgot you read these while you were at the Lake House." I said turning to look at her with a smirk. "How was it reading about evil Steffy?"
"Not fun." Elena admitted quietly leaning back against the pillows in defeat.
"I take it you like the weak and brooding model?" I asked as I turned back to the journal to flip to another page. Elena scoffed and I could practically hear her eyes roll as she sat beside me. "Why exactly are you here?" I asked suddenly as the thought entered my mind. "I would have though you would go home considering Katherine's here."
"Well, I came back over because I have some more news for you guys, Isobel's back in town." She said remorsefully.
"Seriously? Great we'll just add that to the pile of things to take care of." I sighed slightly agitated I had to deal with two bitches now. I heard Elena sigh sadly, as she plopped back against the pillows again.
"Yep, Jenna freaked out when she answered the door and saw her. She and Alaric have been having a fight because of her, Jenna thinks he isn't being truthful with her so she's backing off. All thanks to my ass of a biological father John." Elena said glaring at the sheets of the bed as if she wanted them to spontaneously combust.
"Well I agree your bio dad is an ass, but Alaric isn't being truthful with Jenna." I said matter-o-factly as I closed the journal and laid it next to me on the bed so I could rotate sideways slightly so I could talk to Elena better.
"Yeah, but he's only doing that to protect her! It's a lot to take in that your boyfriend's supposedly dead wife is a vampire and that your boyfriend himself is a vampire hunter." Elena said as I saw her lips pull into a thoughtful line. "She's going to hate me when she finds out I've kept her in the dark so long about Stefan, Caroline and you. Not to mention Bonnie's a witch and pretty much everyone but her knows." Elena said remorsefully.
"Stop that, no one could hate you." I scolded lightly. Elena smiled lightly as she stared at me with her big brown eyes.
"Thanks Damon, that means a lot coming from you." She said with a smile.
"Well you are very welcome." I said with a smirk. She rolled her eyes at me and started to fiddle with the comforters before she grabbed a journal for herself.
"Is there another reason you are here, or do you just like my company?" I teased reading the journal again but secretly watching her out of the corner of my eye.
"You're not the worst company in the world." She said mimicking my words from our trip to Georgia. "And Stefan told me to wait up so we could talk later; I also wanted to make sure you were okay." She said looking up from the journal and looking right into my eyes.
"Me?" I asked in surprise as I closed Johnathan Gilbert's journal all together and squinted at her. "I'm fine, why wouldn't I be?" I scoffed in amazement.
"Because I can tell Katherine is getting to you." She said with concern etched across her gentle face.
"I'm fine." I reassured.
"And I don't believe that." She said searching my face. "I know she's hurt you in the past."
"And what exactly do you want me to say Elena?" I asked. "If your worried, don't be, I hate the bitch." I said coolly. Underneath though I hated how she could always see how I was feeling, I always covered it up, but never well enough to fool her.
"I just want to let you to know you have friends here Damon." Elena said with a sad smile. I sighed and closed my eyes for a second before I looked back to her.
"Well thank you for the update." I said seriously.
"You are welcome." She said just as seriously as me, she was just trying to mock me now. I snorted and rolled my eyes at her as I put down the Gilbert Journal I was reading and grabbed another. "So what exactly are you looking for?" She asked me.
"Where a bunch of witches were burned alive back in the day." I said with a small smirk. Of course, Stefan and I knew where it was but we had to keep up the charade of not knowing.
"Nice." Elena stated simply as she nodded her head. As she opened up her journal and began to read we were both silent until she broke the silence again. "I saved your life you know." She said proudly. I squinted my eyes at her as I raised an eyebrow and looked at her questionably with my lips pulled into a line.
"And how do you figure?" I asked with a coy smile.
"Well, first there was Georgia with Lexi's boyfriend, and then there was here in this house."
"Really and when was this? Was I even part of it or are you just making this up?" I asked really wondering where she was going with this and trying to poke fun at her at the same time.
"When you had the dinner party and were going to stab Elijah, I was the one to warn Stefan that if you used the dagger on him you would die too." She said softly. I froze as I gave her a sidelong glance, Katherine had chosen Stefan just as Elena had, but for some reason Elena cared about me too. "Well at least one of them cared if I lived or died." I thought sourly.
"I did wonder how Rick knew it would kill me." I said evenly nodding at Elena. She nodded as she placed down her journal and stared at me with her brown doe eyes.
"I warned Stefan and he called you as quickly as he could, but your phone was off so he called Alaric." She said staring right at me. "I almost had a heart attack when I heard you were going to kill him, I thought it was going to be too late. So every minute in between as I waited for news, I was really worried about you." She said placing a hand gently on my arm. "I just thought you should know." She said softly. I could not help the small smile that suddenly showed up on my face, I felt gratitude toward Elena for telling me, and I was surprised to see that Elena smiled back.
Hey people, I was originally going to make this a one-chapter story but I decided to make it a little longer so I split it up. Should I continue or leave it as is? The second chapter is almost finished so if you want me to continue you will not have to wait to long. So show me the love and please leave a review to let me know how I am doing. :) Thanks for reading and I hope everyone enjoyed and will leave a review! :)
