Ok so I'm on a mini vacation for like another 2 days so I figured I would use this time to write more updates. So here is chapter 10.

Bonnie's POV
Something is definitely going on. The house is even quieter than last night and Stefan and Elena aren't even at the table eating breakfast with us. They aren't in bed together considering the fact that both their doors are closed. Everything is just so quiet…too quiet. I heard some doors slamming and words being spoken since I'm a light sleeper, but due to Damon's snoring, I couldn't tell what was really going on.
Looking over at Caroline, she had the same worried look as I did. Giving a slight nod to her, she silently agreed that something was up and we were going to get to the bottom of it.
After finishing breakfast, we eagerly ran to Elena's door and tried to open it but it was locked. Knocking it lightly, Caroline calls out, "Elena? Elena, its Caroline and Bonnie, please open the door." After a few moments of silence, we heard footsteps trudging towards the door. Hearing the click sound of a door unlocking, the door opened as Caroline gasped at Elena's appearance. Shooting a glare at Caroline, I snuck my hand behind her head and gave her a light smack to shut up. "Elena what happened? You and Stefan weren't at dinner and you look like you've been crying all night." I said hurriedly with a concerned tone. "And what happened to your wrist?" Caroline exclaimed while gesturing to the red cut on Elena's left wrist. "Oh my god…" I muttered before pushing the two girls into the bedroom. Closing the door and locking it, I immediately say, "Talk."
So she did talk, while crying in between sentences. Stefan kissed Rebekah, sobs, I actually loved him, sobs, it's so hard to breathe, sobs. "That son of a bitch…" Caroline muttered. Fiercely standing up, Caroline walks out of the room and slams the door behind her.
Looking at Elena, we share the same confused and worried expression. Getting up and walking into the bathroom, I grab a first aid kit and start to treat her cut. While in the process of treating her cut, I say, "I don't know what happened but promise me that you will never do this again. No guy is worth this Elena ok?" Lifting her head up to look at me, she simply nods while fresh tears start to form in her eyes again. Not knowing what else to say or do, I grab her and pull her in for a hug. 'No child should ever be going through this.' I think to myself.

Stefan's POV
I don't deserve to even get to see her. She doesn't deserve to have more pain. I don't deserve her, period. Covering my eyes from the blinding morning sunlight, I hear my door get rammed open and I just ignore it, hoping that it will go away. "Get up." I hear Caroline's voice say. Feeling my arm get slapped away from my eyes, she forces me to sit up in bed. "What the hell were you thinking?" she asks in a tone that my mother used to use when I was about to get a lecture. "I'm guessing Elena told you I kissed Rebekah?" I asked, quoting the part where apparently I kissed Rebekah. "Yeah she did you bastard. Now I want to know why you would hurt an already damaged girl like that." She said. Frustrated at the fact that Rebekah caused all this, I stand up and say with a strong yet weak voice, "I didn't kiss her. She kissed me and unfortunately Elena came at a bad time and thought of the wrong thing." Looking shocked at my answer; she purses her lips and walks out the door. Sighing I turned to my bed, getting ready to crawl in before my door opened again. "Knock knock." Damon says in a teasing tone. "Get out." I replied in a mocking tone while turning around to face him. Rolling his eyes, he says, "Bonnie wants me to talk to you about you apparently cheating on Elena. Now of course I debated on talking to you but I figured why not considering you're my brother." Hearing his last line, I interrupt him by saying, "Wait hold on. I told you that we aren't brothers anymore, and just because I'm actually talking to you doesn't mean that it makes us the Salvatore brothers again. And by the way, I didn't cheat on Elena. Rebekah forced herself on me. Now if you'll excuse me, I need some air." I said while walking past my brother out the doorway.
Turning towards the bathroom at the end of the hall, I bump into something or someone. Apologizing at the same time, I look up to see Elena staring at me in shock. After a few seconds of awkward silence, Elena coughs before saying in a harsh tone, "I have to go." Walking past me, I shake my head before grabbing her arm. "Stefan let go of me." She said in a demanding tone. "What ever you saw, it wasn't me who kissed Rebekah. Rebekah is the one who forced herself on me. I know that that is what every guy who gets caught says, but I'm telling you the truth. I'll always tell you the truth Elena. You don't have to forgive me or love me but I just need for you to trust me." I told her while physically and emotionally letting her go. Watching her start to tear up and walk away is equivalent to having someone rip my heart out.

Elena's POV
As I walked down the long stairway to the living room, I angrily wiped away stray tears. I don't know why I'm letting this affect me so badly. Now that I know the truth, what's stopping me from running into his arms? He isn't the one who made the first move then why am I so hesitant to go back to him? Shaking away my conflicted thoughts, I walk towards Meredith, who was sipping some coffee. Looking up, she greets me and gestures me to sit. Before she could say anything else, I blurt out, "I want you to teach me how to fend for myself. I want to learn how to shoot and get stronger physically and mentally." Looking at her, she just stared at me with shock. "Never mind, it was stupid anyways…" I said while lowering my look to the floor. "No, no I'm sorry it's just that most girls depend on the men for survival. I just haven't heard a female ask me to train them." She said, causing me to look up. "So, is that a yes?" I asked hesitantly. "Yes it is a yes." She said while smiling. "Thank you. I just don't want to be so vulnerable anymore." I said while giving her a shy smile. "I completely understand." She stated. Letting out a breath that I didn't know I was holding, I sighed with relief and nodded while smiling.

Bonnie's POV
Lying down next to Damon was the closest thing to normalcy ever since this happened. We would just be like this on our lazy days and just enjoy the moment.
"That was intense." I breathed out while resting my head on Damon's chest. "You're welcome." He replied while chuckling. Shaking my head, I lazily traced circles with my finger, unaware of what I was doing. "What are you thinking about?" he asked, breaking me out of my trance-like state. "Nothing it's just that, we've been married for over 2 years now." I started. "Uh huh…" he said in a nervous tone. "I don't know, I've been thinking about it for a while but I guess that having a pair of two little feet running around the house wouldn't hurt us right?" I asked. Instead of some reaction, he stared at me with a blank expression. "I know that I'm infertile, but adoption could be an option right?" I continued. "Honestly…" he started, causing me to feel this nervous feeling take over. "I didn't bring up the topic of kids ever since we found out that you can't make any, but I'm willing to consider adoption if you want to." He stated. Hearing him say those words just let me sigh with relief. I've been holding this secret bottled up because I thought I'd lose him if we ever talked about this. Sitting up, I smiled out from ear to ear while nodding enthusiastically. Smiling, he leans up and places a deep kiss on my lips before tackling me down to the bed. Detaching his lips from mine, he leans down to my ear and whispers, "Round two." Silencing my giggle, he kisses me again and again and again, and well you know the rest.
"What are you thinking about?" Damon asked, bringing me out of memory lane. "The night we agreed to consider adoption." I replied while sighing, feeling tears forming in my eyes. "We never really went through with the plan." He said. "I know, I practically chickened out before we even got to the car." I replied while feeling hot tears roll down my cheeks. "What's wrong?" he asked while sitting up and pulling me into his lap. "I feel like it's my fault we weren't able to be a normal family. We were supposed to get married instead of eloping. I should have the ability to have kids but my stupid genetics messed that up. Our plan was to be as normal as possible." I cried out. Giving a small smile, he places a hand on my cheek and whispers, "But normalcy is so overrated." Chuckling at my sensitivity, I nod while smiling and crying at the same time. Leaning forward, he places kiss on my lips. This sweet kiss seemed to last for eternity but was broken apart by the sound of gunshots. Looking at the door, Damon mutters, "What the hell?" Getting up, we both run out into the hall and bump into Stefan and Caroline. "What's going on?" I asked. "I don't know but just check from the windows to see what's going on." Walking towards the window that shows the front portion of the house, we all see Elena holding a gun shooting walkers from the other side of the electrocuted fence. Seeing her hit one of them in the head, I hear Meredith complimenting her. "She makes a gun seem so easy." Caroline whispered. "It's harder than you think." Stefan replied. After watching Elena shoot a few more walkers, we turned around to the sound of Katie's voice asking, "What are you all looking at?" Before we could stop her from watching something so traumatizing to a little girl, she shoves her way past our legs and climbs up onto the window seat. Instead of hearing her make sounds of disgust or scream, she stared at Elena shooting the walkers in awe. "Ok that's it." Stefan said before carrying Katie away from the window. "How is she not traumatized?" Caroline exclaimed.

So there you have it. By the way, I just noticed that Klaus and Rebekah were totally M.I.A sorry about that. I'll try and make sure that they appear in the next update.
Preview for next update: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Have a nice day!
