Chapter Two: The Game Begins
"Why are you crying?" Damon asked Elena, as the movie rolled into the ending credits. He looked at her one second and she was smiling, watching the movie intently, then she was crying again.
Elena rubbed her eyes and smiled sheepishly up at him, "Nothing, just a happy ending."
He scrutinized her face and then looked away back at the screen. A thought occurred to him as he leaned away from the couch. "Isn't there a carnival tonight?"
"Oh crap yeah, I need to see Bonnie and check on Caroline. Do wanna come with me?" Elena asked him, hesitantly.
Damon thought for a second and then grinned, "Only if we get to play truth or dare the whole day." He watched as she raised an eyebrow, but nod.
Elena stood up and stretched, "I guess I'll have to put the ice cream to use later. I'm gonna get ready."
"You mean we, I like ice cream too." Damon stayed on the couch and waited for Elena to change, but then he decided to go up to Jeremy's room. He walked up the stairs at a normal pace and then knocked. Nothing, so he pushed the door open. Jeremy lay on the bed tear streaked, with the empty vile in his hand.
Damon walked up to him and rests an awkward hand on his shoulder. "I'm really sorry, Jeremy, again. Do you think god hates the three of us right now or something?"
Jeremy laughed and sat up, "I don't know, but it feels like it. At least you have a chance with someone who you already love."
Damon snapped his head to the side, feeling a little shocked at Jeremy's words. HE stood up and pocketed his hands, "I don't know what you're talking about kid."
"Don't lie, its rude Damon. You love my sister, it's kind of obvious." Jeremy smirked at him and turned toward the door way were Elena was looking at them weird. "Oh hi Elena"
Elena waved at them, "Hi, are you coming too Jeremy?"
Jeremy shrugged, "I guess, I have nothing better to do." Jeremy got up off his bed and stood next to Damon.
Damon grinned and clapped Jeremy on the back, "Well then that means you can play truth or dare with us all day."
"Sure as long as I see Elena drunk by the end of the day." Jeremy smiled at Elena and started walking with them down the stairs.
Elena grew annoyed and angry, "Why me? You guys are evil."
Damon feigned surprise and hurt, "Us? No, but that's what makes you love us."
"True, true," Damon stared at her with actual surprise and then shook his head; he knew that it was slip of the tongue she only meant Jeremy.
Jeremy smirked at him and slapped him on the back too, "I think I'll start the game." He eyed Damon and asked, "Truth or dare, Damon."
"I'll go with Dare. I'm no pussy." Damon's smirk wiped off his face as he saw Jeremy's smile brighten. Jeremy leaned over and whispered in Damon's ear.
Damon laughed and put his arms behind his head as they walked towards the car, then he turned toward Jeremy again. "That's too easy, but I swear if she kills me I'll kill you."
Jeremy put his hands up, "Wait, wait it's a dare you can't take it out on me."
Elena looked at the both of them and sighed, "What's the dare?"
"Oh you'll see. It'll probably knock Damon on his ass though." Jeremy snickered.
Damon blushed a little and then grabbed Jeremy in a head lock, "Oh shut up, just wait till it's your turn."
Elena laughed at them and walked to the front of the car, "Come on guys, we need to go."
They let and walked to the car Damon sat in the front with Jeremy in the back, Damon turned around and pointed a finger at Jeremy, "Now Jeremy it's important that you put on your seat belt, mister."
Elena rolled her eyes and played along, "Yeah Jeremy, we want you to be safe, now don't we Damon?"
Damon grinned at her and watched Jeremy, face palm himself. He sighed and then looked up, "Oh jee thanks, Mom and Dad. Thanks for caring."
Elena laughed and started the car,"I haven't really laughed like that for a while, it felt good." She pulled out of the drive way and drove towards the direction of the hospital.
"Awe that makes you guys married how cute," Jeremy started making kissy noises, but stopped when he saw Damon and Elena both glare.
While driving Elena pulled out her phone and called Bonnie, it rang a few times before she picked up, "Hello?"
"Oh hey Bonnie, it's Elena. What's going on with the Carnival thing?" Elena asked into the.
"Caroline's still running it; she's actually with Stefan right now. And there's something you should know." Bonnie's voice sounded frustrated and sad, like she had been crying.
Elena scrunched her eyebrows together; she looked over at Damon and saw him intently listening. Jeremy was quiet in the back waiting for them to tell him something. "What is it?" Elena hesitantly asked.
Bonnie started crying on the phone again, "Caroline, she-she's a vampire."
Elena stopped the car dead in the middle of the road; luckily there weren't any other cars around. "What? No she, she can't be." Tears welled up in her eyes as she listened to Bonnie try to explain.
"Stefan said that she was turned by Katherine, that seemed to be the only option, but I don't know. I made her a ring and at the moment he's with her now helping her. I don't think she should do the carnival, but she insists." Bonnie explained.
"Okay, this is, I can't believe this happened. When I see the stupid bitch I'm gonna stake her!" Elena tried to calm down, but it was hard to. Damon rubbed her shoulder and listened. "Bonnie, where are you now?"
Bonnie sighed into the phone, "I'm at home now."
"Is it okay if I come over with Damon and Jeremy?" Elena asked her hoping that she would say yes.
"Damon? I don't know, I guess." Bonnie replied with a deep breath.
Elena nodded into the phone, "I'll be there in two minutes, bye."
"Bye," They hung up and Elena laid her head back against the seat and closed her eyes.
Jeremy looked up questioningly at Damon, but Damon shrugged and leaned over to Elena, "Hey let me drive, I can tell Jeremy too if you want."
Elena nodded and switched seats with Damon; when seated she leaned her head against the cool glass.
Her world felt like it was falling apart. And at the moment it was all Katherine's fault. Her fault for Anna's death, Damon's broken heart, hers, and now for Caroline's vampirism. It was all too much for Elena to handle at the moment. She just wanted to have a fun care free night, with her friends. She could at least try, now that they were playing the game. Maybe she could lose herself in it and have fun just for one night.
When Damon was done explaining what happened Jeremy nodded sadly and for the couple minutes it was quiet until they reached Bonnie's house. Elena hopped out of the car and to the front door. Bonnie opened the door and was embraced in a hug by Elena. They both mumbled things about how horrible this is, but then they got quiet and brushed the tears away.
Bonnie looked over at the two walking over to them. Jeremy walked over quietly waiting for Damon to fulfill his dare. Damon took a deep breath and glared at Jeremy. He didn't realize how stupid and hard it would be. Damon walked up to Bonnie and did the unthinkable.
Damon leaned down and hugged Bonnie; Bonnie was beyond shocked and did what she would always do to Damon, but it backfired and made him accidently touch her breast in the midst of grabbing his head.
Jeremy burst out laughing along with Elena they, couldn't stop until Damon was on the ground in a lot of pain. Bonnie's face was red with anger as she leaned down and slapped him, keeping the pain flow through his head.
Elena turned toward Bonnie and held her by her shoulders, "Bonnie, stop." Elena waited for her to calm down and then she did.
Jeremy leaned down next to Damon and said, "You just got knocked on your ass my dear friend." Damon reached up and grabbed Jeremy in a headlock.
"Just you wait Gilbert; I'm going to make you do things you wouldn't even think about doing." Damon growled and then let go of him when Elena walked over.
"That was the dare, to hug Bonnie?" She laughed and shook her head.
Damon nodded, "Do you know how dangerous that is? She almost killed me, because of this idiot." He flicked Jeremy in the head and stood next to Elena.
Jeremy walked over to Bonnie and ignored Damon's whining to Elena, "I'm sorry Bonnie I dared him to hug you. And it kind of back fired when you did the pain thing."
"Yeah it did. If he ever does that again dare or not, I will kill him." Bonnie replied with anger and embarrassment in her voice.
Damon and Elena walked back over to them and Damon grumbled, "I'm sorry Bonnie." He turned toward Elena and asked her, "I know there's a lot going on, but are you still up for playing with us?"
Elena nodded, "Yeah I need to get my mind off of this. I think just tonight we should have fun, just one night."
"That's the spirit Elena, now truth or dare?" Damon asked doing that eye thing.
Elena thought for a moment before smiling slightly, "Dare."
"Good, now let's see. I dare you to…kiss someone at the top of the Ferris wheel tonight, no matter who is it. And if you don't you have to strip in front of everyone at school in the parking lot." Damon smirked at her expression and said, "It's not that bad Elena."
Elena tried to shrug nonchalantly, but she knew that this was not something she was exactly expecting; sure she probably thought the striping part could happen, but not like that. Elena put her chin up and smiled, "I'll do it."
"You better not get in line for the Farris wheel Damon," Jeremy said, stepping behind Bonnie from the murderous glare Damon was giving him.
Elena smiled a little, "Honestly, I don't care who it is, but I'd rather kiss some person than strip in front of the school."
"Yeah I agree," Bonnie said and added, "Well, I think we should probably get going or at least find Stefan and Caroline."
Everyone nodded and got in the car. Once Damon found their trail, it lead to the boarding house. Damon walked in with Elena, Jeremy and Bonnie trailing behind.
Damon stopped in his tracks wide eyed, "Wow, you're on a roll aren't you, so much for a saint."
Elena stopped behind him, her jaw dropped and so did Bonnie's. "What the hell's wrong with you?"
Bonnie chanted under her breath and then the two fell to the ground, Caroline grabbed onto Stefan and begged to make it stop. Elena just stood and watched unable to say anything. Jeremy didn't say anything, but he did glare at Stefan in hate.
Bonnie stopped and glared at Stefan so hard he could have probably died. Elena then walked up to them as Stefan helped Caroline up. She pulled her arm back and slapped him with as much strength as she had. He staggered at the initial shock and held his cheek. Caroline looked at Elena and then she tried to come at her, but Damon was in front of her within the second holding her back.
"Why'd you do this to me?" Caroline yelled at her, trying her best to get out of his grip.
Elena clenched her teeth and practically growled, "I didn't do this to you! His stupid girlfriend did!" She pointed a finger at Stefan who was just standing there.
"What is your problem, Stefan? Caroline's still with Matt and you just go off kissing her." Elena felt her heart clench. She still wasn't exactly over the breakup and this was like another slash. Jeremy put his hand on her shoulder and turned her around.
"He's not worth it, come on Elena. Damon can handle everything and so can Bonnie. We'll be in the car." Jeremy pulled his sister out the front door and towards the car.
Bonnie threw a disgusted look at Stefan and then said, "I'm going to, Caroline talk to us when you have control and not making out with Stefan."
Damon smirked, "Wow, you just keep screwing up don't you Stefan." He let of her and she turned around and punched him.
"That's for compelling me and everything else you did." Caroline said, glaring down at Damon.
He held his face and then laughed, "Damn Barbie can punch." Then he was in her face again a dangerous look in his eyes, "Just don't do it again."
Caroline nodded and walked over to Stefan, "I'm going with the others, what we did was a mistake. I'm sorry." She left looking mostly upset.
Stefan held his head and then looked up at his brother, "What do you want?"
Damon held up his hands and then was in front of him in another second, "I want to know why you keep screwing with Elena."
"I'm not what I said was true Katherine forced herself on me and this with Caroline was an accident." Stefan replied looking down and then hard at his brother who laughed.
"That's bullshit Stefan. I might believe the Caroline incident to be an accident, but Katherine doesn't force." Damon was ready to stake his brother now; it was so frustrating to be related to someone so stupid.
Stefan pushed Damon away from him and growled, "So maybe it wasn't exactly forced, it didn't mean anything to me. I still love Elena."
Damon held him by the throat, "Why is it that you seem to think toying with me is smart. And Elena, if you loved Elena you wouldn't have kissed Katherine and from what I can tell slept with her. Very smart brother, Elena was crying over you most of all night."
"Me toying with Elena, no, it's you. I can already tell she's going to fall for you, but you're going to break her, drop her to the side. And when you do I'll be there for her, whether she knows what happened with Katherine or not." Stefan snapped trying to pull away from Damon's grip.
Damon gripped him tighter and slammed him to the wall. "Even if Elena did somehow fall for me I wouldn't drop her to the side. I love her more then you can even understand. She's not some look alike to me, she means more than that."
Damon let go of him and turned around, "If you fuck with her or make her cry again it will be your head."
He walked out and joined everyone outside.
