I awoke the next morning to find that I was alone. Elena's bed was un-slept in.
"Odd," I muttered.
I got into my last spare change of clothes. It was a black leather jacket, dark denim jeans and a long white top.
I went downstairs and shoved my dark dirty clothes into the washing machine. That should give me some clothes for the next few days. I would do the white ones later. I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard a voice from behind me.
"Damon says that I'm watching over you today," the voice said.
I turned on my heels with my wolf form at the ready to see Alaric. I breathed out deeply and relaxed my wolf form.
"And you listen to Damon?" I asked.
"Not all time but today I'm feeling nice. Get your things; we're going out to a party," Alaric said.
"I've got everything I need," I said patting my bag.
"Let's go then," he said.
Jenna was already in the car. We drove to a huge mansion. It was as big as some of the ones that I had stayed in with Elijah and that's pretty big.
I walked in and immediately felt very underdressed. Everyone in there was wearing very expensive clothes. Well this was fun. We walked into another room and a familiar scent immediately crossed me.
I looked up and anger filled me. Elijah was standing talking to a woman. I instantly tuned into his conversation.
"No, I'm focusing mostly on the smaller region of Virginia. Lots of research. Strict academic," Elijah said.
"That's fascinating," the woman answered.
I practically growled and stormed off to find some alcohol. I drank a shot of vodka before I saw Elijah and Damon heading off into a room together. I stalked after them. What was Damon up to?
I stood next to the door and eavesdropped.
"What can I do for you Damon?" I head Elijah say.
"I was hoping we could have a word."
"Where's Elena?"
"Safe with Stephan. They're laying low, you know. Bit of a werewolf problem," Damon explained.
"Oh yeah, I heard about that."
"I'm sure you did since it was your witch that saved the day."
"You are welcome."
Elijah still hadn't caught up on the simple slang like 'you're' and 'let's' despite the amount of times that I had tried to talk to him about it. He used some of them like 'don't'.
"Which adds to my confusion on why exactly you're here."
"Why don't you just stay focused on keeping Elena safe and leave the rest to me?"
I heard the whoosh of a vampire moving. I immediately bust in through the door in my wolf form. I knew he would hardly need help protecting himself from the younger vampire but still.
I came in growling to see Elijah and Damon having a stare down. Elijah suddenly pushed Damon up against the wall holding him there with his hands around his neck. Damon reached out and put his hand around Elijah's neck. Elijah simply grabbed it with his free hand and twisted it around so that the bones in his wrist broke.
"You young vampires, so arrogant. How dare you come in here and challenge me." Elijah sneered.
"You can't kill me, man," Damon said. "It's not part of the deal."
I hopped up onto the desk so that I was closer and growled at Damon.
"Silence," Elijah said as he grabbed a pencil from my desk and stabbed it into Damon's neck.
Damon let out a cry of pain. Before Elijah let go of him. Damon fell next to my feet. I growled softly.
"I'm an original," Elijah said as he wiped the blood off his hands. "Show a little respect."
Elijah handed the little handkerchief to Damon who took it ungratefully.
"The moment you cease to be of use to me, you are dead, so you should do what I say. Keep Elena safe. If you mess up and you are lucky, I'll set Black on you," Elijah smiled as he gestured to me.
With that, I shifted back into a human but Elijah was in the way so that Damon couldn't see any of my face. We walked out of the room casually leaving Damon to clean up his blood.
Elijah was about to stop but I grabbed his suit and pulled him through the room and outside. It was beginning to get dark and so there were hardly any people out there.
"What?" he asked.
"I take it you haven't spoken to your witch since yesterday?" I asked.
"Oh yeah, but I really did lose my phone," Elijah said.
I raised an eyebrow.
"You're lying," I growled.
"Are you accusing an original vampire of lying? Because you know that that's defiantly not a smart thing to do," he answered.
"Don't lie to me; I hate it when you lie to me," I replied.
"Do not accuse me of lying," Elijah snapped.
"Your witch said you lost your phone charger not your phone. You're lying," I said.
Suddenly I felt myself being pressed up against a wall. We were at the side of the house. I tried in a desperate attempt to release his fingers from my neck and restore air to my system.
"Do not accuse me of lying. You may be immortal but that's only in the aging department, you have no other special abilities except shifting, okay?" Elijah asked.
I nodded and he let go of me. I sat on the ground breathing heavily. I looked up at Elijah who sighed.
"I'll give you a lift back to the Salvatore Boarding House," Elijah said as he held out a hand.
Grabbing his hand, I pulled myself up. My throat hurt. In the car I held my hand over my throat. It was already slightly bruised. Elijah stopped the car.
"Sorry," Elijah muttered.
"I've had worse," I said quietly. "Remember Robin?"
Elijah nodded. He had gone to dispose of a vampire in the middle of the city. Elijah told me to wait by the car while he went to go and find Robin. Unfortunately Robin found me. Robin bit me but when I called out 'Elijah!' then Robin stopped and stared at me. When Elijah came running at vampiric speed back to us, Robin plunged a stake into my stomach. Elijah had managed to get to me just a few seconds before I would've died. His blood healed me.
Elijah sighed and looked at the boarding house. Then he bit into his wrist.
"Here," he said.
"No, I'm fine," I replied.
"Drink it," Elijah said compelling me.
I growled before taking a couple of mouthfuls and forcefully swallowing.
"That wasn't very nice," I muttered.
"It wasn't very nice that I healed you?" Elijah asked with a smile.
I smiled and shook my head.
"See you soon. Oh, I broke my phone … I kind of smashed it against a wall," I smiled.
Elijah laughed. "I'll get you a new one."
"See you soon and don't dodge me," I said seriously.
"Fine, I won't dodge you," Elijah said.
"Or strangle me," I added.
"I can't promise that one," Elijah smiled.
"I guess that I'll just have to live with that," I sighed and I got out of the car and waved as he drove off.
Sighing I jogged off into the house as the cold wind bit at my face. I stopped running and looked around sure that somebody was there. I turned and suspiciously glanced around. After about a minuet I decided that the coast was clear and I ran into the house.
"I'm here," I shouted.
"Marie?" Damon shouted back.
"Yep, it's me," I answered.
I heard Alaric mutter something as I began to walk towards the living room. Then I heard a crash. I immediately shifted into my wolf form just in time to see a werewolf coming at me. I didn't have enough time to move, only enough time to get pinned against the wall.
"What the hell are you?" the werewolf laughed. "I like you, I might not kill you."
He was holding a sword in his hand. I growled loudly and bared my teeth at him. He cut my shoulder and a yelp escaped me.
"I won't have any rudeness," he said.
The then dragged me by the scruff of my neck out into the corridor a bit and I saw Alaric with a sword through his stomach. A small pang of pain went through me. He had seemed like a really nice guy. Then my eyes fell upon Damon who had just been given a huge shot of Vervain.
Then about five of six more werewolves walked in, including Jules. I tuned out for a moment before I felt the blade against me again. A few minutes later I found myself sitting on the sofa.
"If you as much as move an inch, I will cut off your paw," the werewolf growled.
I stayed on the sofa. My shoulder ached. I wanted to shift but I didn't dare. Alaric was laid out in front of us. His dead eyes stared up at the unconscious Damon. They had chained Damon to a chair and fitted him with a contraption around his neck that had spikes in it. That meant that whenever the werewolf pulled it, it would spike Damon's neck.
I sighed and lay down on the couch.
"Getting bored are we beauty?" the werewolf asked.
I stared angrily at him. Damon moved slightly. My attention immediately turned to him. I stared at him. Damon stared up at the werewolf.
"Morning sunshine," the werewolf smiled. "I saw movie once, some torture porn flick. Anyway they had this collar device that was really cool so I just modified it with some wooden nails and when I pull…"
The werewolf yanked hard on the chains. I recoiled backwards only to find that the back of the couch was right there. If only I had invited Elijah inside! He could've saved us!
"So I hear you have the moonstone?" another voice said.
I turned my head to see Jules and three other werewolves. Crap! To my surprise Damon began to laugh.
"If only you knew the irony of this moment right now," Damon chuckled weakly. "Let me tell you how this is going to go. You're going to torture me, I don't talk, someone loses a heart, and last time it was your boy Mason."
That was not the most intelligent thing that he could have said.
"This time it will be you," Jules replied.
The werewolf yanked on the chains again making the contraption dig into Damon's neck. I recoiled and let out a small whimper. Why was I whimpering? I had seen many people die. Maybe it was because I had never seen them be tortured and I had been living with Damon for a while.
Jules smirked at me. A small growl escaped my mouth.
"Ah, ah, what did we say about growling?" one of the werewolves asked me with a smirk.
I didn't care anymore. I shifted into my human form.
"Piss off jerk," I growled.
"Marie?" Damon frowned as he stared at me.
"Ooo, drama. The big secret that you haven't told, little Marie," one of the werewolves smiled.
I growled and he gave me a warning look.
"You are that little black wolf? You chased Jules out of here? You stuck up for us yesterday?" Damon asked.
I nodded but said nothing. I took off my leather jacket and looked at the slice in my shoulder.
"You know what the great thing about buckshot is?" Jules asked.
I was back in my wolf form by this point. I was curled up on the sofa but ready to attack if anyone came near me.
"It scatters through the body," Jules continued. "Maximum damage."
Jules picked up the gun and stared at Damon.
"Where's the moonstone?" Jules asked.
"Get over it honey," Damon smiled. "You're never gonna get it."
"Looking for this?" asked a familiar voice.
I sat up and looked over the back of the sofa to see Elijah standing in the doorway. Elijah walked forwards with the moonstone in his hand and then placed it on the table.
"Go ahead, take it," Elijah said as he stepped away from the stone.
I would have smiled if I had been in human form. This was one of Elijah's tricks. A werewolf ran forward to take it but Elijah appeared in front of him and ripped out his heart. I leaped off the sofa to dodge the falling body.
Two more werewolves tried to either make a run for it or grab the moonstone but they soon ended up on the ground with their hearts ripped out. Jules ran and made a successful escape. Elijah walked up to the werewolf that had been torturing Damon.
"What about you, sweetheart, hmm?" Elijah asked the trembling werewolf. "You want to take a shot? No? Yes? No?" Elijah teased as he grabbed him by the ear. "Where's the girl?" Elijah asked. He obviously hadn't seen her escape.
"I don't know," Damon answered.
"It doesn't really matter," Elijah muttered as he turned and killed the werewolf just my punching him in the face.
Elijah's attentions turned to Damon. I shifted into my human form as Elijah snapped off all of Damon's chains.
"So you realise that this is the third time I've saved your life now?" Elijah asked.
Elijah grabbed the moonstone and the turned and frowned at me. He pointed from me to Damon.
"He knows about you?" Elijah asked.
"Yeah, about that. IT's kind of hard to hide that whenever I feel threatened or whenever something makes me jump I shift," I replied with a nervous smile.
"Who else knows?" Elijah asked.
"Elena," I answered. "Nobody else."
Elijah sighed and walked over to Damon.
"You are no to tell a soul about her abilities," Elijah said compelling Damon.
"He's on Vervain," I murmured.
"Fine, let us put it this way. If you tell a soul about her, I will make you suffer a long and painful death," Elijah warned.
Damon nodded casually.
"Also Marie, or Black as I call her in her wolf form, will rip you apart piece by piece along with whoever it was you told," Elijah said.
Damon nodded again casually. With that Elijah turned around to face me, he handed me a small bag from his pocket and then disappeared off through the door.
"I take it I'll be staying here until Elena gets back?" I asked.
"Yeah, you do that. Just be careful in case I come and stab you in your sleep," Damon said.
I growled and then turned and walked out of the living room and up the stairs to the room that I had been staying in. Damn, my clothes were at Elena's. I would have go there in the morning and get them.
I lay on the bed and opened the bag that Elijah had given me. Inside was a box. I pulled out the box and opened it. Inside was the new IPhone along with its charger and the manuals that nobody ever reads, I took out the manuals and was about to flick through them out of boredom but underneath the manuals was a wad of money and a note.
Spend it wisely of save it – E
I smiled and put the phone, the charger and the money in my bag. I threw the box in the bin in the corner of the room before falling asleep on the bed.
