Aw I really look forward to all your reviews, I cant express how much!
I have to say my two loyal reviews, Ang & Danni, your fantastic as always!
Omg Damon & Tyler very hard to write, but it had to be done as I'm not quite ready to introduce the others yet. The next chapter could be going back to a little bit of Elena & Damon one on one because realistically they probably would not run into all the people they know in one night, well not in this story anyway! ;o)
Please, please keep reviewing, sound like I'm begging much?
DPOV
Leap of Faith
It was clear as I bantered with Alaric that Elena had forgotten one of the many unique qualities possessed by a vampire.
Supernatural hearing.
As I nursed my bourbon, I couldn't help but listen intently to the conversation being had within the confines of the ladies room. Blondie was clearly upset by the news, and I couldn't say I was particularly dismayed by her reaction, she never had been an avid fan of mine, it was old news to me. It was, however Elena who took me by surprise. Her voice was filled with an edge of steely determination, her efforts flawless as she tried to reason with her opponent.
I couldn't recollect the feeling of ever being proud before, but listening to her fight for us and stand up for what she wanted filled me with a gratification I was completely overwhelmed by. She had proved she knew my past better than I had ever hoped for.
I had underestimated her, never really knowing how much she understood and accepted it all this time. In normal circumstances I would of been tempted to go into the bathroom and interrupt, however I knew that Elena would not appreciate it and I would not disrespect her by doing so.
There would be plenty of time to show her the depth of my appreciation later.
Alaric cleared his throat, alerting me to the fact we had been joined by another, someone who was lingering behind me, eyes burning holes into the centre of my back. Glancing over my shoulder, I could only smirk and turn back to my drink.
"Well, well, well if it isn't the hybrid minion of Klaus himself" I couldn't help but salute to his attention, earning a stifled laugh from Ric at the same time.
"We need to talk"
I cocked an eyebrow in mock confusion, relishing the thought of riling him up purely for entertainment purposes.
" We do? What could we possibly have to talk about Tyler? Let me guess, have you come to apologize for sinking those pretty wolf teeth of yours into me?"
"Now why would I do that? When the opportunity arises, ill make sure I finish you off properly next time"
I was amused by his idle threat, he seriously didn't think I was going to go down that easy did he?
" Well I appreciate the warning, however what makes you think you can take down me? Because you're a hybrid? Let me tell you something Tyler, you may be more Wolf then ill ever be, but you seriously are no competition to a 164 year old Vampire"
I was well aware that my words had strategically placed an element of doubt inside of him, however he outwardly appeared smug and that itself was disconcerting even to me.
"I have a message…from Klaus"
I felt Alaric stiffen slightly beside me at the mere mention of his name. I however was less than impressed, I was so over this guy already.
"What makes you think id be even remotely interested?"
Tyler frowned for a moment, obviously confused that I was not eagerly anticipating him to relay the message.
"Well you should be, you need to tell Stefan that if he doesn't return what rightfully belongs to Klaus there will be consequences"
"What makes Klaus think I have contact or even know where my delightful ripper of a brother is? You can tell Klaus that whatever Stefan is in the possession of, I would be the last and foremost unlikeliest vampire to have privy to its location"
Tyler seemed almost irritated by my answer, and I was pleased he would have to bear the bad news to his sire. I didn't let on that the mention of consequences had unsettled me, that was usually a good indication of what was to come and that in itself was never a good thing.
I watched as Tyler began walking away, and I couldn't help myself from calling after him.
" Tyler, Your familiar with the saying once bitten, twice shy….right?"
To be continued…..
