CHAPTER 7: Kill Or Be Killed PART 1
Gilbert's house
Elena and Jeremy are in the bathroom.
" I can't believe Tyler Lockwood is a werewolf. " Jeremy says
" We're not sure about that yet. The only thing we know for sure is that Mason Lockwood is. " Elena explains. At this point Aalleeyah (Outfit on profile) is leaning against the door frame, listening in.
"You know, I could just tell you everything you need to know," She teases, knowing they won't want her help in anything
" It should be enough easy for us to figure it out. " Jeremy snidely tells her
" There is no us. I said that I wouldn't keep things from you anymore. That doesn't mean that I want you involved in it. " Elena tells Jeremy, ignoring Aalleeyah completely
" By definition of being in this family, I'm involved. "
"He has a point," Aalleeyah points out
" This is dangerous, Jeremy. You have to stay out of it, okay? " Elena continues
" Alright. Just saying. " He finally gives in and leaves with Aalleeyah closely following.
"Hey little bro" She greets sweetly
"What are you doing?"
"Just trying to talk to my brother," She says innocently
"Seriously, what do you want?"
"Okay, okay. What do you about Tyler Lockwood?"
"Why should I tell you? You're the bad guy"
"On the contrary, I've joined team Elena now, why do you think I moved back here?
"Fine," He sighs "All I know is what I said in the bathroom; that's he's not a werewolf yet but Mason is."
"Hmmm is that all?" She asks as if she knows more
"Um yeah, why? "
"Oh no reason, just wondering how much you actually knew about Little Lockwood" She says strolling out with a smirk making Jer realise she does actually know so much more.
Mystic Falls Public Park (Historical Society Volunteer Day)
" This is all part of the historical society, continuing efforts to give back to the community. Thanks to the generous donation of the Fell family. We are now standing on the sight of our newest public park. Thank you to everyone who has shown up today to lend a helping hand. Thanks. " Carol says, finishing her speech
Looking around, Stefan spots Mason is removing boxes from his trunk re joins him.
" Stefan right? The other Salvatore. " Mason asks
" The nice one. The one offering an apology. " Stefan tries to persuade
" Not interested. "
" Look, my brother acted impulsively. "
" You think? " Mason asks sarcastically
" If you and Damon keep at each other throats, somebody innocent is going to get hurt and I don't want that. You have family here so I can imagine you'd want that either. So what do you say we just quit the whole alpha male fighting thing and call a truce? "
" I made that same offer to your brother. He turned it down with a knife. "
" He made a mistake. I'm here to make sure that neither one of you make another one. "
" Tell your brother to watch his back. " Mason tries to walk away but Stefan grabs his arm
" Well, I'm guessing that he only has to worry about that during a full moon. Otherwise you're not as strong, am I right? Or you would have killed Damon by now. There's one of you. There's two of us. I think you're the one that needs to watch his back. "
" If he comes at me… "
" He won't. "
They shake their hands and Mason leaves. Damon re joins Stefan
" What are you doing? " Damon questions
" Negotiating peace on your behalf. "
" I don't want peace. " Damon spits
" Consider it opposite day. " Stefan jokes
" Stefan, please tell me you don't seriously think a hand shake just solved our problem. "
" No, actually I think that the first chance Mason Lockwood gets, he's gonna drive a stake through your heart and then through mine, all because you took it upon yourself to try to kill him. So thank you, because we don't have enough problems. " He tells Damon, then walks off, leaving Damon there.
"Hey there, good lookin' " Aalleeyah appears, greeting him with a wink
"Hey what are you doing here? Didn't think helping people was really your thing?" He teases
"Oh Damon, I love helping the people whose throats im going to tear out soon" She teases back sarcastically
"Well aren't you evil?" He continues to tease
"Hmmm, I like to think of it as realistic" She smiles back
Across the park Mason is helping Liz
" Oh thanks Mason" Liz thanks
" Hey Sheriff, you've got a second? " He asks
"I'm out of uniform. Let's go with Liz." Liz smiles
" Alright Liz. I was hoping to talk to you about the council. "
" I don't know what you're talking about. " Liz informs, trying to act confused
" I know you and the others founding families have a secret council. " Mason calls her bluff
" If that were true then you'd know it's a secret and isn't discussed with non-council members. "
" I know I rejected all that but it's only because I wanted a life outside of this town, not because I was a non-believer. Look, I know vampires exist and you have three of them living right under your nose. "
" Really? " Liz asks surprised.
" Yeah "
" Who would they be? " She asks curiously
" Damon and Stefan Salvatore and Aalleeyah Gilbert. "
" That's impossible. I know Damon Salvatore. Do you know what he's done for this town? And I've known Aalleeyah since she was a little kid, she's best friends with my daughter"
" I know it's a lot to digest. "
" No. I watched him kill vampires. He's an ally; he's part of the council. "
" Think about it. When did the vampire attacks begin? When Damon and Stefan Salvatore moved to town? And isn't it strange how Aalleeyah just randomly appears after almost 2 years of being thought dead?"
" They walk in the sun, Mason. " Liz still refuses to believe it
" They've evolved. It's not 1864. They figured it out, Liz. "
" No. Damon Salvatore is my friend."
" What if I can prove it to you? " He asks. They both look over at Stefan, Damon and Aalleeyah
After Elena and Caroline's little talk about Elena 'fighting' with Stefan, Damon and Aalleeyah walk to Liz
" Hey, we saw you with Mason earlier. What was that about? " Aalleeyah asks sweetly.
"I just asked him to help with the clean up in the woods. " Liz lies
" That's what we're here for, put us to work. Should we go help him? " Damon suggests
" Oh no. You know, he's… I'm sure he's fine. " Liz says nervously
" Are you okay, Liz? You seem really upset. "
" It's Caroline. We had a moment. "
" Is there anything I can do? " Aalleeyah asks still in her sweet voice
" No, Aalleeyah. Thank you. It's just horrible parental skills paying off in spades. "
Aalleeyah and Damon then walk over to Caroline who Elena just left
" What's her problem? " Damon asked
" Don't worry about it. " She plainly replies
" Why are you being such a bitch to your mom? " Aalleeyah asks
" Don't worry about it. " Caroline says harshly. After that all three start listening in on the conversation between Stefan and Elena
" Do you still care about Katherine? " Elena asks
" Don't do this. Please don't turn this into something that it's not. " Stefan says
" So this is not for discussion. That's what you're saying? " Elena asks. Aalleeyah can't help but groan in her mind. She heard them this morning so she knows that they are fake fighting to trick Katherine and Caroline.
" No, I'm saying that this isn't up for discussion right now because we have ears on us. " Stefan informs her. They then look over towards Damon, Aalleeyah and Caroline. Damon and Caroline pretend they're not listening and look around whereas Aalleeyah just looks at them with an evil smirk
" Okay, when? " Elena asks
" I don't know "
" I saw her Stefan. It's like we are the same person. How could you hate her and be in love with me? "
" You're reaching. I'm not… I'm not Damon. " Stefan says. Harsh.
" How about we don't bring Damon into this right now? "
" You know, I can't… I can't do this anymore, Elena. "
" Fine, Stefan. Whatever. " Elena says then leaves. Aalleeyah quickly follows behind, leaving Damon and Caroline to talk. Aalleeyah catches up to her twin and stops her.
"I know your secret" She warns
"What secret?" Elena says acting dumb
"Don't play dumb Elena, it's not cute on you. You can't really think that you can have sex with your boyfriend with another vampire in the house, and them not hear it" Aalleeyah smirks and Elena's eyes slightly widen. Aalleeyah is the worst person to know a secret because she'll spill them if it fancy's her.
"Don't worry baby sister" Aalleeyah starts then leans in and whispers "I won't tell" and with that she walks off. But not before she yells back to Elena
"Probably"
AN: Hey guys, I'm looking for advice on this story. Who should be Aalleeyah's love interest? Right now it's Damon but that could change. What do you guy's think? There's soooo many options. Thank you for the favourite and follow's my lovely's :)
