~ Bringing out the dead – Conversations & Consequences ~
Disclaimer: I do not own TVD only the twisted plot.
RANT WARNING:What the f**k is wrong with Elena and Damon in TVD's S3E14? Are the writers trying to kills us with frustration? The only scene I loved was when Elena walks into the ballroom with a Salvatore in each hand. And whilst Ian Smolderholder is delicious in any bedroom scene (yummy in Lost, love him in the movie "Wake"), Rebecca? Seriously? And did Elena really try to get back with Stefan? Realy, really, really? And I wanted to slap her for not telling Elijah about the "spiked" drink, although I think that the plot will turn out that neither him nor Klaus did drink it at all. So hissy fitty pissed little me is hoping that what comes next is Elena catching Damon and Rebecca red handed, having a massive epiphany (before we kill her for being the blindest and slowest human to wise up ever!) but will still tumble in bed with Elijah just to take the edge off. I warned you…big rant.
If I wasn't so pissed I swear that I would write the turn of events myself, but as it is S3E14 has effectively squashed my mood and my writing muse. So I am reading lots of FF to try and recapture that Delena feeling that was so mercilessly dragged to mud in this last episode. So here is another chapter for your entertainment,it would have been up yesterday but I couldn't log into FanFiction for some reason!:(
How can it be permissible
She compromise my principle, yeah, yeah
That kind of love is mythical
She's anything but typical
She's a craze you'd endorse, she's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course
Her loving is so powerful, huh
It's simply unavoidable
The trend is irreversible
The woman is invincible
She's a natural law and she leaves me in awe
She deserves the applause, I surrender because
She used to look good to me but now I find her
Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible she's all mine
There's no other way to go
She's unavoidable I'm backed against the wall
She gives me feelings like I never felt before
I'm breaking promises, she's breaking every law
Her methods are inscrutable
The proof is irrefutable
She's so completely kissable, huh
Our lives are indivisible
Simply irresistible she's all mine
There's no other way to go
Robert Palmer - Simply Irresistible
When Elena and Damon came downstairs, Elijah was seating causally on the leather couch, sipping on a drink Stefan had served him trying to stall for time. Elijah looked up at the couple, amused at the way their hands were intertwined and searching around the room for Stefan to see his expression. It was a priceless sight to behold. The formerly brooding vampire now turned unhinged baddie, looked so forlorn that Elijah almost pitied him. The second Elijah turned away to look at Stefan, something off registered in the back of his mind, something that became increasingly noticeable in the now silent room. Out of instinct, he got up and suddenly stood crowding Elena only to be separated from her the next instant by Damon's protective body. He ignored the lovesick vampire and stared at her over Damon's shoulder. When Elijah could distinguish no heartbeat he hissed.
"What did you do?"
Elena shrank away from his burning stare so Damon was left to fend off the immediate danger.
"Elijah, let's sit and talk this over like civilized man." – he quipped pointing to the couch whilst smiling tightly.
Elijah turned his eyes slowly on Damon and nodded curtly before sitting down on the couch and waving a hand.
"Explain."
It was not a request but a command and Damon fully understood that they had been granted a small time frame to make their point. He led Elena to where Stefan was sitting on the arm of the arm chair, placing her between them and taking place on the other arm. He took a moment to note that Caroline was standing next to Stefan, a hand resting on his shoulder and the other holding on to his hand.
Elijah watched the four vampires with a calculating expression, eyes narrowed and body tense. Elena closed her eyes and took in a deep breath to still her nerves. She knew she could do this, she had to.
"Thank you for listening Elijah." – Elena smiled at him kindly and received a courteous nod in return – "First of all, I need you to know that this is solely my doing and that Damon and Stephan knew nothing of it till it was too late."
Surprise flickered over Elijah's face for a second then, with a slight look of amusement, he scanned the Salvatore brother's and realized that Elena was telling the truth. Whilst they were standing protectively by her, there was an air of defeat to their stance that made it clear that they didn't choose this life for her. Elijah returned his eyes to the brown eyed beauty nodding and encouraging her to go on.
"Did you…" - Elena took another deep breath to find her resolve -"Did you receive my package yesterday?" – Elena asked with a bravado that tried to hide the fear she was feeling. Damon reached for her hand and gave her an encouraging squeeze, but his eyes never left Elijah.
"Yes, we did." – Elijah responded with a raised eyebrow – "It confused us both greatly. Above all it made Klaus fly into a fit of rage. Was that the intention?" – he asked calmly.
"No." – Elena replied timidly but firm – "It was meant as a gift. The last of my living blood for him to use judiciously." – she locked eyes with Elijah and continued to speak resolutely as she laid her straight flush on the card table – "Until the next doppelganger comes about."
The last statement made all three male vampires look at her as if she had lost her mind. Caroline rolled her eyes resentful of how little they thought of Elena's intelligence and cunning.
"And how exactly do you propose for that to happen now that you are dead? – Elijah said curious but exasperated – "Did the Salvatore brothers forget to explain to you about the vampire version of the birds and the bees?
Elena chuckled darkly taking everyone aback and got up sauntering over to the original.
"Elijah, you should know by now that there is a lot more to me than any man," - Elena glanced back at the brothers over her shoulder - "vampire or not, can control!"
Elena cast Elijah a heavily hooded glance as her hand rested on her hip. All the vampires in the room swallowed through dry throats because Elena had never resembled so much Katherine like she did now. They all looked as deer's caught on head lights, eyes wide and frozen in place.
"Katherine?" – Stefan breathed uncertainly.
