As some of you might have guessed while Reading last chapter Vanessa isn't really fond of Elena right now. She will justify why later in the story. I have nothing agains't Elena, but Vanessa does.
Vanessa's P.O.V.
''Then you drive. Come on.''I heard Damon saying while I entered the living room.
''Where are we going?''I took the keys from his hands.
''We are going in a field trip to Richmond. Want to join us?''I smirked and gave him back the keys.
''Back entrance. How convenient.'' Damon said a bit of sarcasm in his voice.
''That's the point. We can't all have little daylight rings.''
''How do you know this Slater guy is even here?''I asked flipping my hair to my back.
''I called him. He's here. He's always here.''
''Good.'' Damon pushed her against the wall. I'm liking him even more by the minute.
''Just one thing. If you're setting me up in any way, I will rip your heart out and shove it down your throat. It's something I'm very good at.''he threatened, but Rose easily catched him and pushed himagaisnt the car.
''I'm older than you and stronger. Don't get on my bad side.'' She realeased him. ''You can trust me'' we entered the cofee shop.
I noticed the windows, but instead of questioning it I just letthe sun refreshen my skin. Thanks Apollo!
''Whoa. What about the sunlight?'' Damon had to ask
''Double paned and temped. UV rays can't penetrate. You see the appeal now?'' Rose said and I amn who I assumed was Slater joined us.
''That and the free Wi-Fi'' Rose embraced him
''Hey, how are you?''
''Good. I saw you come, what are you doing here?''
''Mmm, it's a long story but I want you to meet…''Rose trailed off.
''Vanessa Gilbert. Adoptive daughter of Dr. Grayson Gilbert and wife Miranda. Recently went to live in New York with her biological parents and now she came back to Mystic Falls. Also, Damon Salvatore. Turned 1864 in Mystic Falls by Katherine Pierce aka Katerina Petrova. So I take it I was right, what I told you about the tomb under the church was true?''How in Hades could he know that?
''Yes. It was right. Thank you for the tip.''Sater looked at Damon
(He looks at Damon)
''It's nice to meet you, maybe. What's going on Rose? Where's Trevor?''
Slater: ''And you're sure Elijah's dead?'' Slater asked us. We had just finished telling him everything. Damon and I looked at each other.
''Beyond dead.''I said
''Trevor was a good man; he helped me with my dissertation on sexual deviance in the Baroque period. I was schooling for my Psych PHD.''
''Slater's been in college since '74.''
''When I was turned. I have 18 degrees, 3 masters and 4 PHD's.''
''The point?''Damon asked.
''Exactly, I mean, what is the point? What should I be doing with my eternity? If you have an answer, please enlighten me.'' Slater said.
''We need your help. If someone wanted to get in touch with Klaus, how would you hook him up?''I said desperate for answers.
''Craigslist.''He simply said
''Really?''Damon asked.
''Seriously. I respond to a personal and to get sent to somebody who knows somebody who knows Elijah, who's dead and that's where my connection ends.''
''Here's what I don't get: Elijah moved around during the day, which means the originals knew the secret of the day ring.'' I started.
''Now why would Klaus want to lift the curse of the sun and the moon?''Damon finished
''To keep the werewolves from lifting it. If a vampire breaks the sun curse then the werewolves are stuck with the curse of the moon forever and vice versa.''
''But werewolves are extinct.''Rose disagreed.
''True. I've never seen one but rumor has it...''
''Not such a rumor.'' Damon and I said together. I don't know where Damon had seen one, but I had seen tons.
''Mystic Falls? God, I've got to visit this place. It sounds awesome.''
''Awesome doesn't even begin to describe it.''damon aid sarcastically.
''Can we stop the curse from being broken at all?''I asked quietly.
''What do you mean?''Did he really didn't get the question?
''Well, if we make the moonstone useless, would it stop the curse from being broken?'' Damon explained.
''Well, yeah, probably but why would you want to do that?''
''Tell me how.''Damon pressed further.
''You think I'm gonna help you figure out how to do something that will piss off an original? And keeping them from walking in the sun?''Please. Just tell us.
''You want to walk in the sun? I can make that happen if you help us.''I siad hoping to get an agreement.
Suddenly coins were thrown against the Windows breaking them. Slater's and Rose's skin started burning. Rose started screaming. Damon looks outside but whoever did it is gone. Slater runs. Rose's face was burned. Damon put a jacket on Rose's face and helped her get out of the coffee shop. He carried her to the car and puts her in the back of the car
''You're gonna be okay.''I said taking some things outr of my purse. ''Here. Drink up'' I gave her some blood. She drank it.
''I know.''
''Who's behind that?''Damon asked.
''I don't know. Where is Slater?''Rose aske¡d concerened.
''Iowa by now. Who the hell knows?''
''He's not behind this, he's a good guy, he wouldn't betray me.''
''Who did it?''
''It's Klaus, don't you understand? You don't know this man, we're dead, we're all dead.'' I knew we were all dead since the momento I was captured, but me being me didn'tlisten to the signs.
