Chapter 5
Plan B?
I woke up sleepily and opened my eyes to see a blood red curtain above me. I furrowed my brows in confusion and looked down my body and saw a arm around my waist. I looked to my left and saw Damon sleeping soundly and peacefully. I stared at him, actually looking at him and thought this should be a face of an angel. Of course only when he's sleeping. I smiled remembering last night.
"This is kinda creepy." Damon said peaking open an eye and closing it again.
I laughed. "Well, sorry, Dracula."
"Oh so we're going there?" Damon opened his eyes and stared at me.
"At least your not like Edward Cullen who would watch girls sleep." Damon let out a huge laugh and I joined in.
He sighed and stretched his arms above his head and I couldn't help but watch his muscles flex. Sigh.
"See something you like?" Damon smirked at me.
I blushed and sat up and slowly slid out of bed. "Yeah, you." I mumbled almost incoherently.
"ME?" Damon gasped dramatically and started giggling like a school girl.
"Stupid vampire hearing." I grumbled. "I'm going to go take a shower." I said heading for what I thought was the bathroom.
"Okay, I'll come with." Damon got up and I noticed he was just in his boxers. Black. Swoon.
"Nope. Sorry." I opened a door and saw it was a closet instead. Gr.
"Wrong door." Damon said chuckling from near his bed and threw something at me. I caught it and saw it was my shirt.
"Thanks." I rolled my eyes and headed for the other door. It was the bathroom. Thank god.
After a nice warm shower, I wrapped my self in Damon's robe and put my hair up into a towel.
"I think I like this look." Damon said from his chair at his desk, fully dressed.
"Gee, thanks." I rolled my eyes and took out the towel from my hair and towel dried it. I flipped my head and shook it out.
"I think you need a collar and a leash, then we could go for a walk." Damon commented sarcastically.
I ignored him and just threw the wet towel at him. He caught it and smelled it, creepily. Umm…
"Yummy."
"Weirdo."
I walked out of his bedroom and downstairs to the kitchen, trying to find something to eat. I noticed Caroline wasn't in the parlor anymore. I hope she didn't hear anything last night. Even though we didn't necessarily do anything. . . Bad. Pouring some cereal I found in a random cupboard into a bowel I heard someone knock on the door. I walked to the front hall and heard Damon from upstairs yell 'Answer it!'
I sighed and looked out the window, seeing it was only Jeremy, Elena's little brother. I opened the door and smiled at him.
"Hey, Jeremy."
Jeremy stared at me with wide eyes, and that's when I remembered I was only in a robe, in the Salvatore's house. Great.
"Uh, Hi? Is Damon here?"
I blushed and nodded, then for good measure I said, "I didn't have sex with Damon, by the way. I'm not a slut." I smiled at him and he nodded looking flustered.
"What?" Damon's voice came from behind me.
"I need to talk to you." Jeremy said.
"And why do I need to talk to you?" Damon asked.
"Tyler Lockwood has to kill somebody to activate the curse. He's not a werewolf yet." Jeremy said, surprising me that he knew about all of this.
"That's fascinating. Not enough." Damon said rudely. So this is the mean, jerk, asshole, dick side of Damon. I sighed rolling my eyes. Damon glanced at me and sighed.
"But Mason Lockwood is and he's looking for a moonstone, a special rock related to the werewolves legend. That's why I'm here." Jeremy explained more.
"A moonstone?"
"And I know where it is." Jeremy smiled, seeming proud of himself.
"And your telling me this, why?" Damon questioned him.
"Do I need a reason? I just want to help, okay?"
"What your sister say about this little discovery?" Jeremy didn't answer. "Oh, you haven't told her, have you?"
"Well, Elena doesn't want me getting involved in all this."
"You really shouldn't, Jeremy." I spoke up from next to Damon. Jeremy glanced at me, but Damon ignored me. Of course.
"And you're a Gilbert, you just cant help yourself. Whoa, your life's purpose is as obvious as it is tragic."
"You going to let me in, or not?" Jeremy asked.
Damon sighed and moved out of the way. Jeremy walked in and Damon closed the door behind him.
"I'm going to go change and talk to my mom." I told Damon.
"Okay, just don't let her out." Damon said seriously. I nodded. After getting dressed I walked down into the basement and saw that Caroline was there too.
"Hey. How is she?" I asked her.
"She hasn't ate much, but Damon says the vervain should almost be out of her system." Caroline replied smiling.
"Wanna talk to her?" I asked Care. She nodded and unlocked the cell. I walked in, Care following me. Our mom glanced up from her cot and looked back down. We stood together in front of her.
"You didn't eat much. Good news: Doctor Damon said the vervain is almost out of your system. So with any luck you'll be freshly compelled and in your own bed by tonight." Caroline said happily. Our mom didn't answer.
"Are you just going to ignore us?" I asked mad.
"Yes. Please go."
"As usual, you don't care. Got it. Just like before I was a vampire. Its not like I died or anything. And plus Evie is still human." Care said bitterly.
"Are…Are you really dead?" Mom asked looking at Care.
"Yes, I am now."
"How is it possible?" Mom asked.
I left Caroline and Mom down in the cell and walked back upstairs, giving them some privacy. I knew that was going to be a long hear to heart talk. I saw Damon and Jeremy talking with a guy I didn't know.
"Damon?" I questioned.
"Oh, Evie, this is Rick. Rick this is Evie Forbes, Liz's older daughter. Rick helps with the whole killing thing." I nodded walking closer. Rick smiled at me politely and I smiled back.
"What are you guys doing?" I asked
"We are going to go fetch our wolf boy, Mason, and question him. Stay here." Damon said as they all headed to the door.
"Wait, Damon." I grabbed his arm. "I heard werewolf's could kill a vampire." I said worriedly. I didn't even know where this was coming from.
"I'll be fine." Damon said smiling. He kissed me softly on the lips and left with the others. I sighed and headed for the parlor.
After about an hour, Caroline was still not back from the basement so I decided to go back down to the cell and see what they were up to.
I looked through the little window and saw Caroline sitting next to our mom. Their finally bonding. I smiled, happy.
"Come in, Evie." Care smiled. I unlocked the cell and walked in, sitting on the other side of my mom.
"Anyways," Caroline continued. "I want to kill. Its my basic nature now, but I'm on a healthy diet, I can control it. I'm getting better at it. I'm better than Stefan. He's a bit of a problem-drinker, and blood-aholic." Caroline said smiling at her mom.
"I don't want this for you. Any of you." Mom looked back at me.
"I know, but when life gives you lemons…Damon's home." Caroline said randomly.
I smiled, happy. Caroline got up and left with a small wave to our mom. "You look happy." My mom said.
"I am, except for this whole situation." I looked at her, frowning.
"You like Damon, don't you?" She asked watching my face.
"What? No." I said to quickly.
"I know you do." She stated. "That happy spark in your eyes is the same when you told me about your crush on Johnny Lops in 9th grade." I chuckled at the memory.
"I remember him. He was a senior." We shared a smile. "It was so simple back then."
"I know. But honey," She grabbed my hand. "Be careful, their still vampires and they can easily hurt or kill you."
I nodded, knowing she was right. "I know." I stood up. "Love you, Mom." I closed and locked the cell and walked back up to the first floor. I blood-curdling scream rang through the house. I stopped, frozen. Oh, god.
I rushed to the parlor and saw Damon holding a fire-poker and below him was Mason Lockwood, tied to a chair. "Damon, what the hell is going on?" I yelled running over to them.
Damon gritted his teeth. "Evie go." I looked at him in disbelief. "For gods-sakes, get the hell out!"
I glared at him. "Tell me why your hurting him." I demanded.
He sighed angrily. "I need to find out some answers."
I shook my head at him and looked down at Mason who was still in pain. "I'm not going."
"I hope you like to watch pain then." Damon warned looking at me angrily and pressed the rod to Mason again, who screamed. I flinched. What happened to the playful Damon from last night.
"So…Katherine. How do you know her? What is she up to?" Damon asked. Mason didn't say anything. "I have all day." And Damon put the rod to Mason again.
"When did you two meet? Did she seduce you and tell you she loved you? You're supernatural so she cant compel you. I'm sure she used her other charms too. Katherine's good that way." Damon said like he was jealous of Mason. I could also see the pain underneath the angry ulterior.
Then all of a sudden Jeremy walks in with a box full of stuff.
"I thought I told you to leave." Damon asked.
"I found something in a box of Rick's stuff."
"What is it?" Damon looked at the plant in the box.
"I searched it on my phone. It's a plant called Aconitum Vulparia. It grows in the northern hemisphere, communally known as "Aconite", "Blue Rocket", or "Wolfs Spain.""
"What else did you read?" Damon asked and I walked over to them looking at the strange plant.
"That it could cause lycanthropy. Or its toxic." Jeremy said.
Mason whimpered behind us and I figured it must be what vervain was to vampires.
"I'm guessing its toxic." Damon grabbed the plant and walked over toward Mason.
"What's Katherine doing in Mystic Falls?" Damon asked Mason. I stared helplessly with Jeremy as Damon pressed the plant onto Mason's cheek. It started to burn his cheek. "Why is she here?"
"Damon?" I said taking a step forward, trying to reason with him. He put up his hand, ignoring me. I sighed angrily.
Mason looked between Damon and I. "She's here with me! Why are you asking? Jealous?"
Damon glanced at me so quickly, I thought I imagined it. "Oh, how rude of me. I didn't offer you anything to eat." Damon then shoved the plant into Mason's mouth. "Yummy!"
I turned away from the scene and walked to the kitchen, not wanting to see this side of Damon. I banged the counter hard with my fist.
After about 10 minutes I walked back into the parlor and stayed in the doorway watching.
"You know when I look at you I see myself, less dashing and less intelligent version." Damon yelled at Mason.
"I love her." Mason said.
I watched Damon go down eye level with Mason. "Oh, I know! I've been where you are but Katherine will only rip your heart out. Let me do it for her." Mason made eye contact with me when Damon thrust his hand into Mason's chest and literally ripped Mason's heart out. Masons eyes closed slowly, still on me. I didn't even know I gasped until Damon whipped his head to the left and saw me. Damon dropped Mason's heart on the ground and started for me.
I put my hand up, stopping him. "What happened to the Damon I knew last night." I said and headed towards the basement door, closing it and walking down to my mom cell. I looked in the window and saw her sleeping. I slid down the wall next to the cell door and closed my eyes, trying to forget the ruthless killer upstairs.
"Hey, you okay?" Caroline woke me up. I jerked awake and nodded at her. "Okay…"
She walked into our moms cell and I got up and followed her in. "So I pulled Stefan out of this well and he's all vervained and routed but Bonnie wasn't mean to me once and I really think its progress, you know? I just…what? I'm freaking you out." Caroline started off happy then turned nervous.
"No, it's just you've become this person…" Our mom said gazing at Caroline.
"Don't…we're…just getting along." Caroline started.
"This strong and confident person." Mom finished smiling.
"Oh. Thank you." Caroline seemed surprised and I smiled at them.
"You don't have to take away my memories. I wont tell anyone. Look if your worried about them, just tell them you compelled me. I wont tell. I'll never do anything to hurt either of you." Mom said looking at us.
"We never talk like this. Never and today meant so much to me." Caroline said looking at mom.
"Me too." I said smiling.
"Me too, girls." Mom smiled.
"I know I can trust you, but you'll never trust them." Caroline said starting to cry. I watched as my baby sister made a huge decision and started compelling our mother. I knew it was the right choice. Our mom might not tell about Caroline, but we couldn't be sure if she would tell the council about Stefan or Damon.
"I'm going to take you home and your going to forget I'm a vampire." Caroline said.
"I'm going to forget you're a vampire." Our mom repeated in a trance.
"You'll remember you got sick with the flu, you had a fever, chills and leakiness, and Evie and I made you soup and I accidently put too much salt in it. You got better and then your selfish little daughter, who loves you no matter what, went right back to ignoring you. And Evie went back to being your number one daughter like always. And all is right in the world." Caroline finished and brushed her tears away.
"I'm not her favorite." I said on our way out of the cell with a trance-like mom following.
"Yes you are and you know it." Caroline said and carried our mother up the stairs and left me in the basement.
I walked up the steps slowly, not really thinking and went outside for some fresh air. I came back in, five minutes later and walked into the parlor where Damon and Stefan were. Damon was on the phone and he looked angry then shocked. Stefan and Damon whipped their heads to me and I watched as I stabbed myself in the stomach with a knife, I had no idea where it came from.
"You bitch!" Damon shouted and threw the phone at the wall and ran to me. Stefan hurried over to me too and called 911 on his phone, I think. "Your going to be fine." Damon said putting pressure on the wound on my stomach.
"An ambulance is coming." Stefan told Damon and looked at me. Veins popping out under his eyes and his eyes turning black. I watched in fascination as fangs extracted from his gums.
"Go, Stefan!" Damon shouted and pushed his brother.
"Sorry." Stefan said and answered his phone. "Damon, it happened to Jenna too."
"So fucking great." Damon growled. He took a deep breath and sighed when the ambulance came.
I was going in and out of consciousness, but all I knew was that Damon never let go of my hand. And that Katherine must hate me, too. Oh and still wondering how the hell I stabbed myself without knowing.
I opened my eyes to a argument going on near me.
"You gave her your blood?" It sounded like Caroline said.
"I had too! She lost a lot of blood. And don't worry I didn't leave her side at all so no one could've changed her." It sounded like Damon's voice, argued.
"Well, what if something-" Caroline started but Damon cut her off.
"I'll be by her side until its out of her system." Damon said seriously.
"Okay. Good. I cant believe Katherine did that. She doesn't even know her." Caroline said.
"Oh, I can believe it. And she's getting close to everyone that's involved." Damon said and I felt someone's hand brush across my forehead.
"Do you really like her?" Caroline's voice said. "Cause if you don't, stop playing with her." Caroline said seriously. Damon didn't say anything. "You do, don't you?" She asked in disbelief. No answer. "Okay, I guess its fine with me." Then I heard a door close.
"I know your awake." Damon's voice said. I opened my eyes slowly and looked at him. He was standing on my left side, looking out the window.
"Is it true?" I whispered and coughed, but that only hurt my stomach. I grasped my stomach in pain and winced.
"Are you okay?" Damon asked looking at me worried and gave me a glass of water. I sipped from the straw and tried to sit up. "Let me help." Damon put his arm behind my back and lifted me up in a sitting position and fixed the pillows behind me. "Good?"
I nodded, knowing he was avoiding the question. He wasn't one to talk about his feelings.
"Are you still mad?" Damon asked seriously.
"Kinda." I replied, putting my hand on my wound.
"I'm sorry you saw that, but it had to happen. It was either me kill him first or him kill me first." I nodded, playing with the sheets. Damon sighed and lifted my chin with his finger and cupped my cheek. "Please, forgive me. Sometimes I cant control that side of me when I'm so angry." He got closer and his lips brushed mine when he spoke. "Please, Evie."
I looked into his eyes. "Okay." I whispered.
"Can I kiss you?" Damon asked closing his eyes.
"Yes." I barely said it before Damon's lips were on mine, desperately. His lips kissed mine like this was a sign that I was truly okay and alive.
Damon pulled back and leaned his forehead on mine. "I'm sorry this happened."
"It's fine." I whispered back.
"No, if I hadn't called Katherine and worked her up she would've never had a reason to hurt you." Damon pecked my lips once more and stood up straight.
Elena then barged into my room, looking at me with wide eyes. "I just heard Katherine did it to you, too" Elena said then noticed Damon and mine conjoined hands. I was expecting Damon to drop them but he didn't.
"Wait, it happened to someone else?" I asked Elena.
"Yeah, my Aunt Jenna. Same spot. That's why the doctors were suspicious, but her wound was worse." Elena came closer and gave me a unexspecting hug. "I'm sorry for getting you involved. Oh, and Happy Halloween."
"Elena its not your fault. Its Halloween?" I frowned at her.
"Yeah, the Mas-" Damon cut Elena off.
"Alright, even though I love watching two girls cuddling, I really think we should get you discharged and all ready." Damon said smirking at us.
"Why do I have to get ready?" I asked confused.
"Because I need to escort somebody to the Masquerade Ball tonight or I'll look like a dick." Damon smirked and winked at me.
Elena smiled and waved, walking out the door. "Finally." He leant down and kissed me soundly on the lips.
I laughed. "Of course. But my stomach…" I trailed off, knowing I wont be any fun if I cant dance.
"I have a suggestion, but only if you want to." Damon said sitting on the chair next to my bed.
"What?"
"I could give you more of my blood so you'll be fully healed." Damon said watching my expression.
I bit my lip. "But what if-"
"I wont let you out of my sight." Damon put up two fingers in the air. "Scouts honor."
I smiled and nodded. "Is it gross?"
"At first, but then you start liking it." Damon said. "So are you ready to be discharged, darling?"
"Yep." I smiled.
Dear Diary,
Damon's calling my mom right now filling her in and saying she needs to come fill out some papers. She's back to normal and doesn't remember anything. But I still kinda hoped that she could be trusted and not have had to be compelled by Care… So here I am hurryingly writing. So I found out all about Vamps and witches and werewolves. OH MY! And Katherine made me stab myself. Yep but I'm okay because Damon gave me some of his blood and it helped me. Oh yeah he asked me to go to the Masquerade Ball with him tonight. I'm so excited, but I have no idea what to wear! Oh he's back. Bye 3
