Chapter Five
The No-Go Subject
Elena looked at Stefan,
"W-what?"
"Elena it's-"
"No! You can't just…just…imprison someone! It's wrong!" he went to touch her but she pulled away from him "Stefan! You have to let her go!"
"…that's not my call."
"What do you mean?! Of course it is!"
"Elena…it's complicated, she's not good for the town and she cold hurt a lot of people, its better this way."
"No it's not!" She suddenly turned and walked, Stefan sighed and walked after her, she ran down the steps to the basement and walked to the door, she looked in and her mouth opened, "Oh my God…" she whispered, the girl she had seen before, so much power, so much…life, now looked totally dead. Her skin was chalk white, her eyes closed, if she hadn't known about vampires she would have thought the girl dead. Elena wasn't ok with what Olivia had done and no, she didn't feel safe around her but Olivia was…or had been a human being…she had feelings and she had rights. Being caged like an animal was just not fair. Elena looked at Stefan, her eyebrows furrowed. Before Stefan could stop her, she'd unbolted the door, Olivia's eyes snapped open as Elena walked in. Olivia's eyes began to grow red as she looked at Elena; out of the survival impulse she threw herself at Elena, her fangs bared. Stefan grabbed Elena around the waist and hauled her out of the way and out of the door. In one last effort he attempted to close the door, tried to bolt it but Olivia's strength was insane.
"RUN! GO NOW!" Stefan shouted, Elena's eyes widened and she did what she was told, sprinting through the corridor and up the stairs. Olivia slammed the door open with one kick and grabbed Stefan, she threw him into the cell and locked it before beginning to run after Elena. "NO! ELENA!" she heard Stefan shout as she stumbled into the walls, her shoes slipping on the wooden flooring. She saw Elena's retreating body, she was gaining. Suddenly Elena got to the front door and threw it open, running outside, Olivia attempted to go after her but suddenly and carelessly entered a beam of sunlight. She screamed as it felt like fire had been placed on her skin, her arms going up to shield her face. Unfortunately, the beam was long and very strong, she couldn't move. Suddenly she felt something grab her, yanking her out of the light. Her skin immediately began to heal, her eyes wide, her hand snapped to her neck and tried to grab for something that wasn't there. She looked up at him,
"YOU ASSHOLE!" She shrieked "YOU TOOK IT?! YOU TOOK MY LOCKET?!" She pushed him, of course it had less power than she usually would but more than the other day.
"Of course I did! What? You thought I was going to just let you run off?!"
"I want it back. Now!"
"No." he said shaking his head, she screamed again and ran at him, punching and kicking him with all she had in her, it didn't hurt that much because she was still weak from the vervain but he felt it. He grabbed her wrists and forced her against the wall, "Stop it." She laughed suddenly and without warning head butted him, he let go of her stumbling backwards,
"Ow!" He exclaimed, a smile split over her face and he smirked, she ran at him, going to hit him but he caught her wrist and pushed her against the cabinet, she grabbed the vase on the cabinet and threw it at him, he ducked just in time but didn't see the glass photo frame which smashed into his head. He grabbed her arms and pulled forward, ducking so her waist hit his shoulder and then stood up
"PUT ME DOWN!" She shouted, kicking him, he began to walk back to the stair case but she grabbed onto a book case, her nails digging into the wood before pushing off his chest, flipping in mid air and landing cat like on the floor, he turned, his mouth half open "Oh yeah baby," she said with a laugh, she then sped upstairs, he ran after, obviously quicker than her, but she pushed him to the floor. He grabbed her ankle causing her to fall, she kicked him in the face and scrambled up, aiming for a bedroom and running in. She grabbed a small wooden box and hauled it at him; he caught it with perfect reflexes. They stood glaring at each other.
"There is only one way this can go…" he said taking a step into the room,
"No there isn't." she said with a crafty smile, "I can beat you and you know it."
"No you can't. You can't beat me on a normal basis and now you haven't got you're locket and you're still dosed up on vervain…so…so far I'm winning." He said with a smile,
"Unless I just keep throwing things at you?"
"Well we could play that game all night couldn't we?" he pushed his hands into his pocket "Or, we could try another game." He walked to the window and put his arm out, the locket glinted in the sun and her eyes widened, "Go back downstairs or I'll throw this out the window and it will break."
"Damon…" she said shaking her head "Don't…" He let some of the chain slip through his fingers and she gasped, but it didn't fall from his hands
"Are you going to do as you're told?"
"I hate you."
"I know." She gritted her teeth and glared at him still further, "Olivia." He said bluntly, looking at her with a raised eyebrow,
"I'll behave…but I'm not going back in that cell!" She said
"But how do I know that-"
"Because you have my locket. I'm not going anywhere while you still have it and you know, and I don't want to admit, that you're clever enough to keep it from me." He smiled,
"Good girl." Her eyes were filled with hate as she sat on the bed, arms crossed, legs crossed, glaring "Now don't look at me like that," he said putting the locket back in his pocket, he walked over to her, "You've brought this on yourself." Her eyes widened and she drew her hand back to hit slap him but he caught it, "You really need to stop hitting me." He said a slight glint of anger in his eyes.
"And you need to stop being such an arrogant ass!"
"You know," he said narrowing his eyes "I don't think anyone has annoyed me quite as much as you have."
"Well like wise." She hissed standing up, both glaring at each other, he turned sharply, walking to the door
"Oh…and by the way, I locked you're brother in the cell."
"Hm…what a shame."
She stood in the woods just outside the boarding house, dialling and redialling Stefan's number again and again,
"Oh come on!" She whispered "Pick up the phone." She tucked her hair behind her ears, her eyes flicking up to look at the sun.
"Elena." She jumped and turned to see Damon, who smiled,
"Oh God…" she breathed putting a hand over her heart "You almost gave me a heart attack." She looked at him for a moment "…Where's Stefan?"
"He's fine," Damon said waving off the thought of his brother, "No, I just came to tell you that it probably won't be best if you come to our house for a couple of days…"
"…why?" her eyes narrowed "Is Stefan ok? Why isn't he picking up his phone?"
"Oh, he's locked in the cell." Damon carried on, cutting through Elena's cry of anger "But anyway, don't come because otherwise I'm pretty sure Olivia might try to kill you."
"I don't understand, are you locking her up or letting her go?!"
"It's sorta…" he paused thinking "House arrest." She looked at him, considering what he was saying,
"…Wait, Stefan said she doesn't kill women, why'd she try to kill me?"
"Survival. She would have been stronger if she'd fed off you." Elena shivered violently,
"Don't say that…ever again."
"Why not?" He smirked and moved closer to her, his face inches from hers, she swallowed "Isn't the thought of a vampire feeding off you…dangerous? And I know girls…they like dangerous."
"Uh…no, it's a death wish." She said, he rolled his eyes and drew away from her,
"Right…I'm going to keep an eye on Miss Olivia." He began to walk away
"Damon!" He turned to look at her "Get Stefan to ring me." He nodded and continued to the house,
"Go home Elena." Be said looking over his shoulder.
"Who's that?" he turned looking at Olivia, who was leaning against the doorway,
"No one you need to know about." He said beginning to walk up the stairs; he had his back to her when she said
"She looks exactly like Katherine." He froze, his whole body stopping,
"How do you know Katherine?" he turned to look at her, she smiled her eyes going to the floor,
"Where'd you think I got the locket from Damon?" she turned walking into the living room, he walked using speed and grabbing her upper arms
"How do you know her?"
"Oh? Do I have something over you now?" he shook her violently and her eyes widened in pain, "Ow! Stop it!"
"Tell me!" He said, his eyes wide,
"She's a friend…she helped me escape last time! She doesn't like Ethan."
"R-recently?"
"Yeah…recently…" she trailed off reading his expression "H-how do you know Katherine?"
"Doesn't matter." He said letting her go, she caught his arm
"Yeah it does…how'd you know her?"
"I just do." He turned and walked towards the stair case and looking at her before walking down.

Stefan stood with his arms crossed as Damon walked to the cell door,
"Take you're time…" Stefan said and Damon rolled his eyes as he unlocked the door, "No really! Take you're time, it's not as if I have to make sure Elena's alright or anything." He said sarcastically going to the door,
"Do you want me to let you out Stefan? You're pushing it."
"Yes." He said bluntly and Damon slid the bolt across the door letting it open,
"She knows Katherine."
"What?"
"Olivia…she knows Katherine. Well. She saw her recently."
"No Damon…just leave it. Katherine…she," he paused treading carefully "You heard Anna…she knew where you were and she didn't come."
"Maybe something stopped her."
"Ah! What Damon? What could've stopped her?! Face it. She's an evil, vindictive witch."
"Oh…I'm sorry, aren't you dating her look alike?"
"That's not the same!" Stefan said "Elena is a nice person. Katherine is…a whole different story." He looked up at the ceiling "Where's Olivia?"
"Upstairs…it's fine, she can't go anywhere because I've got her locket."
"Yeah, she can't go anywhere in the day…but at night?"
"I told you. I have her locket. She's not going anywhere."
Both young men walked upstairs to piano music, they exchanged glances, they walked forwards towards one of the rooms they hardly ever went in. She sat at the instrument, her hands travelling over the keys, playing a song that really was quite beautiful. She smiled beautifully as if she'd found something she'd forgotten she could do.
"I'm going to check on Elena…I'll see you later." Damon nodded with a half hearted smile; his eyes went back to watching Olivia, she suddenly stopped and looked up at him.
"I missed playing." She said with a small laugh, "It used to make me so happy." She looked up at him "What makes you happy Damon?"
"Annoying my brother and scaring people." He said bluntly and she laughed
"No…I meant really happy. You're so angry, I can feel it."
"Ok, I don't need a shrink so…" he turned to walk out but she was suddenly in front of him "He didn't give you enough vervain did he." She shook her head
"I'm stronger than I look. But he doesn't know that." He tried to move past her but she put her hand on the door frame, not letting him pass "Was it Katherine?"
"Honestly." He said "You don't want to go there."
"I do."
"No you really don't."
"Yeah I really do. What did she do?" he pushed her arm away and walked past her, she followed, "Damon. What did she do?!" he turned savagely,
"I'm being serious. Stop." He said, his eyes on fire with anger,
"She broke your-" he slammed her into the wall, his hand over her mouth
"Shut up." She blinked "I mean it Olivia. Katherine is a no go zone. What happened between us has nothing to do with you or anyone else." He let her go,
"She got you good didn't she." He closed his eyes, trying very hard not to explode in anger, "Let me guess, made you believe she loved you, you loved her, blah blah and then took off?"
"Look!" He turned looking at her, "I'm going out now! Yeah you've driven me from my own home! Happy now?!" He shouted slamming the door behind him as he went, a smile spread over her face.
"Very." She said looking at the sun which hung low in the sky…soon she would be gone.
Ok, so i'm sorry it was a bit rubbish BUT please review and tell me what you think, don't be too harsh lol, ummm but the next chapter, which i HAVE written, i know you will all love it. It's...well...i'll let you read it. Ok so review and i will put the next chapter up quickly because i want to know what you think.
And OMG, For all of you that have watched the 'A few good men' preview thing, is it just me...or at about 0:17 - 0:18 when it says 'The Mystery' does it or does it not look like Olivia? I mean when i saw it i freaked out because i know it's probably just Damon kissing someone but it looks like how i imagined the scene in chapter three. And i know Olivia is from my mind just still...it's slightly Awesome....ANYHOWWW!
I also just wanted to say Damon and Olivia are meant to be slightly funny because of how they annoy each other but there is still an attraction and if that hasn't come out yet, just wait till the next chapter :p Peace out. x
