Chapter 7

Just wanted to help

After choosing the vampires, everyone got up and went out. I stayed and let Caroline and Stefan pass me, I have promised Lexi to clean the room up afterwards.

As I started to walk towards her, I touched some vampires which were heading to the opposite direction. I wasn't paying attention and suddenly I ran into someone. I looked up and saw blue eyes starring into mine.

„I'm sorry.", I apologized to Damon.

„No problem.", he answered weirdly and moved pass me. I stared at him till he left the room. What was that about?

„Elena?", Lexi asked and I turned around and went to her.

„You don't have to do much, last time they left it was chaotic in here. Today they behaved. But the chairs may be set straight.", Lexi said and rubbed her forehead.

„Are you alright?", I asked concerned.

„I'm fine, just a little bit stressed. I'm so glad that it's high time. I could need a pause."

„You did a great job, Lex'. And you should take a break from the organizing, we'll survive for a while without you checking and mapping everything out.", I reassured.

„Thank you, Elena. I'm glad to have you here. I'm going straight to bed. Goodnight."

„Night.", I simply answered and watched her leave the huge room. Then I did as she asked. When I pulled the last chair onto his place I felt a presence behind me. Quickly I turned around to be face to face with Kol Mikealsen. He grinned mischievlously.

„Look at you. I'm surprised that you didn't took off the second you saw me, Katerina.", he said and approached dangerously.

„Excuse me? I think you confuse me for someone. I'm not Katerina.", I said nervously.

„Oh?", he said surprised.

„Let me guess: you're not even Tatia?", he asked and looked at me eagerly.

„No. Is this a kind of game? If you're bored just go find someone else. I'm not interested.", I said angrily and turned away. I didn't know from where the rage came but I couldn't shake it off. I wanted to walk out of the room but suddenly he appeared in front of me. He looked me into my eyes.

„Tell me the truth.", he said and I had the urge to answer him truthfully.

„The truth is that I don't want to play those games. End of story."

He watched me in surprise. Then he came closer and sniffed at my throat. I was too confused to move.

„Interesting.", he said after he pulled away from me.

„Are you done?", I asked him calmed.

„Yes. I didn't catch your name."

„I never mentioned it."

„What is your name?" And again I was forced to tell him the truth. What was wrong with me?

„Elena."

„Well, it was nice to meet you, Elena. I wish you a good night."

I just nodded and left the room as fast as possible. I reached my room and closed the door.

I was waking up to the sound of screaming. I sat up straightly and went to the door to listen to what was happening. I could hear a girl scream. „How dare you? You just used me as I'm a puppet, as I'm nothing! Who do you think you are, please?"

I walked downstairs and came to the corridor where some other vampires where standing on the stairs to watch. I pushed my way through them to get a glimpse. Amber was standing there, she was angry, hell she was so furious.

„You whore around, is that ok with you? I thought I was something special!"

Damon stood there and felt uncomfortable and tired. But he was also furious.

„Oh come on! Do you really think that I had a thing for ya? You're so pathethic to do this in public. Enjoy the attention you got now.", he said and left.

Amber threw her shoes after him and then she began to sob and cry. Some where running towards her, comforting her. I heard things like „He's an ass.", „It's better this way" and „You are too good for him".

I don't know what came over me put I pushed my way through the gathering and went out. I could see Damon walking in a rush. I followed his darkhaired head. He walked into the trees. I ran after him and called him out.

Abruptly he came into a halt and turned around. „What are you doing here?"

„Just checking up on you."

Confusion was written all over his face.

„Well, I'm fine. You can go now."

„I don't think that you're fine. You just walk away from it."

„Goodbye."

He went away. But I didn't let to be swept off of his feet. So I followed him.

„Leave me alone before I'll kill you.", he grunted.

I froze in my tracks.

„No, you won't.", I said more convinced as I was. I still followed him. And then suddenly he was pulling me against a tree with a stake in his hand. Well, it could have been one.

„One last move and I will stake you. Is that clear?", he asked threatening. My heart skipped a beat. He really did mean this!

I didn't move, I didn't even breathe. And then he just ran away in vampire speed and left me there.

I stood frozen and my breathing became heavy.

I had no idea why it shocked me or why I was surprised. His threat tore my heart apart and the tears came soon. I just wanted to help him. My tears were streaming down my face as I slode down the tree until I sat on the ground.

I laid my head onto my knees and cried. There was no reason to do so but in this moment I didn't questioned my feelings.

In that moment I needed to get everything out.

I remembered the day we shared his liquor together.

What was wrong with him?

To clear things up: Kol sniffed at her throat because he wanted to ensure himself that Katherien or Tatia weren't on vervain. If there are any questions, you're welcome to ask ;)
