A/N: Sorry for the late update. I'm finished with my other story so this is my only story I have going on right now, I should have updates a little quicker now. (As long as nothing goes wrong.)

History Today

Chapter: 3

Damon's face held no emotion from the information he had just received. Stefan on the other hand was shocked. "Why? When?" He asked her.

"Little brother don't you know why already, he failed to kill us the first time so he wants to do it again." Damon answered in his usual cocky manner.

Imagines of founders' night flashed vividly through Elena's mind; seeing Stefan fall unexpectedly in front of her and Damon being pulled out of the basement of her parents burning building hunched over in pain. Elena shook her head in effort to clear the thoughts that were overtaking it.

"What now?" Elena asked in a whisper.

"We wait to know his plans." Stefan answered.

"But Stefan, you and Damon have to stay safe, there has to be something we can do." Elena petitioned.

"That's were you come in, listen to John's conversations or something and fill us in with his plans." Damon said. Elena could feel Stefan stiffen beside her at Damon's idea.

"No!" Stefan growled.

Damon laughed to himself at Stefan's outburst. "I said to ease drop not jump off the roof."

Stefan was about to respond when Elena did. "Stefan, I want to. I want to help, I promise I wont get hurt." She placed a soft reassuring kiss on his lips.

She understood that Stefan didn't want her hurt but his over protectiveness was annoying.

Stefan and Elena were walking to her car that was parked out front, she was half way there when she realized she left her bag inside. "I'll be back in a second," she called to Stefan who was already talking his seat behind the wheel. "I left my bag inside. She walked inside and found her bag exactly were she left it, by the door.

She saw Damon sitting on the couch in the parlor; she thought now may be a good time to talk to him.

Standing at the entrance of the parlor she spoke in a soft tone knowing Damon could still here her, "Damon, can I talk to you?"

He knew exactly what she wanted to talk about and he didn't want to. Stefan got him into it so shouldn't it be Stefan to get him out?

He got up and turned to face Elena. She saw regret in his beautiful blue eyes. She couldn't talk to him about it, not like this. She decided to leave it to one question and she would leave, "are we still friends?"

Damon took a minute to answer that question, she knew the way that he felt for her but all they would ever be is friends. "Yes Elena."

"Thank you Damon good bye."

"Good bye kitten, keep us posted." He didn't know were that came from or why he said it aloud. He readied himself for whatever wrath Elena was going to give him.

Elena stood frozen in the doorway not sure how to react. The truth was she loved the way his voice sounded when he called her kitten.

She didn't say anything else to him, she wave and walked out of the door to meet Stefan at the car.

Damon fixed himself a glass of scotch and sat back down on the couch in front of the fire. He thought about what just happened and what he is going to do about John.

A/N: Please Review

Sorry for the late update. Forgive me?

Sorry if this chapter is a little shorter than the rest, I liked where I ended it. (Without bringing in to much more information to form an ending.)

I had horrible writers block while writing this chapter, I hope everyone still enjoys it though.
