Chapter Two:
"Oh my gosh, Elena! Seriously? I remember when I kissed him, he was [shoulders slump down]...a great kisser. He could be sweet when he wanted to be. But, after what he did to me, nope. I have...Tyler." Caroline stairs out the window away from the girls, trying not to let them see her once tear fall down her cheek.
"Caroline, you know if you want to talk about it, we're here for you." I said.
"Yeah, you know where are here, Caroline. Infact, why don't we head up to the hospital tomorrow and check on your father, and then see how Tyler's doing. If turning on command helped any." Bonnie said reassuring her.
"Yeah, we could do that." Caroline scooted closer to Bonnie and Elena for a group hug.
I pulled away a little to talk; "Ok, now it's movie time…I'll go make some popcorn!"
I ran down stairs to make some popcorn, and grab the tequila. I leaned over the couch and seen Alaric snoring away. I turned around to proceed to the kitchen and ran right into Damon's chest. That gorgeous sculpted chest, and abdomen, and well shaped jaw line, soft pink lips….I sighed inside so he wouldn't hear me.
"Damon….what are you doing here?"
"Doing my patrol in the neighborhood watch. What are you girls doing?"
"We are having a girl's night. And it'll remain girls only."
"Com'on….can't I sit down here, and hang out with Rick? It'll be a guys night!"
"Rick is sleeping if you can't tell and-" He interrupted me.
"Elena, I just have a feeling to stay here tonight. That's all. And, don't get any idea's to come cuddle with me if you get cold or something…" Said Damon with his flirtatious smile.
I just rolled my eyes, and said ''Don't worry, I'll be upstairs. ALL night." I walked into the kitchen to make the popcorn. Of course Damon follows me. He reminds me of a little puppy. Cute, but annoying.
[Knock Knock Knock] Damon and I looked at each other, then he slowly heads towards the front door to investigate. "Are you expecting someone, Elena?" His senses were heightened because I shook my head 'no'. He was about to put his hand on the door knob when the knocking started again. But this time, the knocking came from the back door. We quickly look back there. Suddenly, knocking was coming from the sliding door in the dinning room. This either has to be the work of a vampire who's extremely fast, or multiple people….nonetheless…..hybrids.
"GO UP STAIRS, ELENA." Damon lip-sinked to me, so that if it was vampires, they won't hear our plans. I slowly crept up stairs, got to my room to find Elijah sitting on my bed. Bonnie and Caroline were lying on the floor. He must have knocked them out.
"Elijah….." I was stunned. Last I knew, he was in a coffin in the old house's basement.
"Hello Elena. [stands up and paces her room] So nice to see you. I hear your boyfriend has caused a lot of ...grief on my brother and family. I'm going to need you to tell him to give me back my family and I will in return promise the safety of your friends and town." [He stops and stares at her with an extended hand for agreement.]
"I can't talk him into anything anymore, Elijah. And besides…..we are no longer together." I never thought I could say those words.
"Ohh well my dear, I'm sorry. My brother can be a bit, what's they word I'm looking for…oh right, feisty, if he doesn't get his way."
"Why did you save him…I thought we had an agreement."
"I spared Klaus's life, because he knew our family was still safe. He led me on for many many years, that he buried our family at sea. But at the slightest second he knew in my eyes that I was going to take his life, he wanted me to spare his, and in return he'd reunite me with our family. Come to find out, he did reunite me then stabbed me in the back. I don't blame Stefan for saving Damon. It's his brother. Stefan knows the value of family…"
