Previously:
"Why don't you want this?"
"I don't want to bore you with stories. How about you tell why you don't want this?" Stefan asked.
"Please? I'll tell you after. I promise." She said and Stefan nodded. "I'm in love. With a girl that I have known my whole life, she and I were in diapers together."
"Really? Who is she?" Elena asked with curiosity.
"Katherine Pierce, she looks just like you actually, but she has blond hair." He explained and nodded. "What about you?"
"I want to be a writer, and get out being royalty." She admitted. He shook his head and said, "Sometimes I just wish my brother was back, so I could marry Katherine. Damon had a mind like that, he always wanted to leave and one say he did, just left, without a word."
Elena was about to reply when there was a voice from beside them. "Careful what you wish for Stefan, it sometimes might come true."
The Eldest Salvatore
Chapter Two
Elena looked over to where the voice had come from, at the same time as Stefan. She cocked her head, realizing that this was D, from the graveyard.
"Damon..." Stefan simply said wide eyed. Elena looked at him like he had three heads and he smirked.
"Nice to see you too princess, but think you could stop ogling me for two seconds?" Damon asked cockily and Elena frowned at him.
"Your Prince Damon Salvatore?" She asked in shock.
"Indeed I am, and you are also out of those sweat pants from earlier I see." He smirked again. Stefan looked confused and said, "What's going on?"
"I met him in the graveyard this morning, but he never told me who he was." Elena simply stated. Stefan looked back and forth between the two and said, "You were here this morning?"
"Yes, but let's get over that, and have my welcome back party." Damon said as he sat down on the chair next to Elena, who was almost transparent.
"Why are you back?" Stefan asked Damon intently.
"I was just strolling by and heard the problem of marriage, lot's of complaints, like 'Stefan, but I love you.' and crap like that." He said imitating Katherine, obviously.
"You heard Katherine and I?" Stefan asked with a growl.
"I have to go." Elena said as she stood up and started to walk away, but Giuseppe stopped her.
"Princess Elena, is everything alright?" He asked.
"Yes, it's just something big just happened." She said before walking over to the side in which her family was at. Damon smirked and watched her leave.
"Damon, what are you doing back?" Stefan asked again, but more sternly.
"Things have changed brother, things are to be left unmentioned. Let's just say I met someone that changed my perspective on life." Damon smirked as there was a tap on his shoulder. Damon turned with a smirk still on his face, to his father shocked and angry expression.
"Elena, what are you doing back so soon? Shouldn't you be learning about your new finance?" Her aunt asked her.
"I'm not sure who my fiance is at the moment." She simply responded. Jenna, Alaric, and Jeremy both cocked their heads at her.
"What do you mean?" Jeremy asked in a rude tone.
"Damon Salvatore is back." She said, earning a few gasps.
"Damon..." Giuseppe nodded at him with a fierce tone.
"Father, how longs it been?" Damon asked cockily.
"I see you still haven't changed." He scowled at him.
"And I see you wish I was actually dead. So I take it you still disapprove of me?" Damon asked again.
"Damon, you know I'd never wish that upon my children, but disapprove might be an under-statement Damon." He snapped at him.
"Don't lie to me father. I've changed my perspective on life, in a way you could say." Damon smirked.
"Stefan could I talk to you in private?" Giuseppe asked and Stefan nodded, leaving a smirking Damon behind at the table.
"What do we do?" Stefan asked his father.
"I was about to ask you the same thing." Was his reply.
"I think that Damon should marry Elena." Stefan suggested, hoping to spare his relationship with Katherine.
"That's preposterous! He just arrived, and you are the one who is now supposed to marry her." He snapped at his younger son.
"But would you really want to ruin tradition Father, imagine what the people would say if they knew that Damon was back and I married the one he is supposed to rule beside?" Stefan asked, knowing his father was huge on tradition.
"But what if we rid of Damon, or tell no one of his presence?" He reasoned.
"That's wrong father, and people are starting to remember him, look at all the people with shocked expressions out there, and I am sure Princess Elena had already told her kingdom leaders about the situation." Stefan said.
"This better not back fire Stefan, or it's on your shoulders." He threatened as he walked off and Stefan looked over to Damon who was smirking up a storm, at least he didn't have to leave Katherine now.
Giuseppe walked quickly and efficiently over to the Gilbert family and smiled at Elena. "Princess, there is something that we need to discuss with you."
"Of course King Giuseppe." She said as she nodded a good-bye to her Aunt and Uncle, who she was talking too before.
"Now Elena, you know about Damon's return I presume?" He asked as they walked away from the rest of the Gilbert's.
"I have heard." Elena nodded to him.
"We've decided that you are not to marry Stefan, but Damon, in honor of tradition." He told her.
"Oh." Elena simply said.
"Yes, and I just wondered when you are available to move in. It would be better if faster." He told her.
"Um, you might want to speak to my aunt and uncle about that, they do control what I do." Elena insisted.
"Yes, I will go and ask them, thank you for your time Princess." He said and Elena nodded as he walked away. She sighed and shook her head. Things had just got more complicated in her life, and all she wanted was to have a normal life. But one question lingered in her mind. Why did Damon come back?
Then she decided that she needed to get some air, so she looked around and saw the small balcony that she used to go out to with her parents. No one should be out there, so things should go as planned.
She walked out to the doors and into the cold breeze gave her a sense of reality, as if all of this was actually happening. Which it was. She sat down on the bench and glanced up to the stars. It was a clear night and she could easily see herself falling asleep out here.
But this little piece of haven for her wouldn't last long, soon she would be shipped off to a different castle, due to marry someone she just met that morning. She sighed again, things weren't as she wanted it. Damon was free, why'd he come back, he'd even told her that he wanted to leave... because he was just like her.
She was lost in her thoughts as a voice arose from seemingly out of nowhere.
"Day dreaming about me? Well why wouldn't you, I am gorgeous." The male spoke as Elena was startled and looked at him.
"No, simply thinking over what's happening in my so called life." Elena said to Damon as he smirked at her.
"I know what your going through, you'll want to run away, have a new life, but honestly, the grass isn't always greener on the other side."
"Hey, that's what I told you earlier." Elena acknowledged. Damon shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the small bench that was out there.
"Why are you back?" Elena asked after an awkward silence.
"You know, I've been asked that question almost four times from various people since I've arrived, you'd think everyone would be a little happier to see their long lost prince return." Damon stated.
"That's avoiding the question." Elena said as she leaned against the balcony's rail.
"Who said I was going to answer the question?" Damon challenged.
"Well sorry for asking." Elena glared at him before starting towards the door.
"Great way to start the meet and greet, a bunch of glared and avoided unanswered questions." Damon smirked at her as she glared again at him. "You're an ass." She muttered silently but as she was about to walk away he responded, "I know."
"There you are Princess! I thought that you had disappeared on us." Giuseppe said as she walked into the main ballroom.
"Oh I was just out on the balcony, and please call me Elena, I'm going to have to live with you, I prefer everyone to call me that than princess." Elena asked with a small smile.
"Of course Miss Elena, but we have decided on a date for you to move in." He said to her.
"Great, when is this?" Elena asked trying not to let her anger and annoyance show.
"Tonight." He smiled as Elena nodded and gulped at the same time. It turns out that Damon was quite the ass, some one she wasn't too fond of either.
The guests had left except for the Salvatore's. Damon had wondered aimlessly as he watched his brother check his cell every thirty seconds, for a text message from Katherine or something.
He saw Elena go upstairs with a frown on her face, as if she was about to be murdered probably up to her room, to pack, as he had heard smirked, things had definitely changed to him when he was gone for the past few years, were they good or bad, it just depended how you looked at the problem he encountered. For him, this was something beneficial. For Elena and any other human in the castle, maybe not so much...
That's the chapter, sorry it took so long, hope it's not too big of a cliffhanger! I LOVED TONIGHT'S EPISODE! IT WAS AMAZING! Thanks for the overwhelming response on the last chapter, (again) it was great! Please leave another, they get me back into the writing way, especially after you spend a say writing letters, essays and tests. Thanks!
