Chapter Ten

"Where have you been all week?" Caroline asked Elena as soon as she sat down at the lunch table.

"I just needed some time away, so I went for a drive." Elena said lying, stayed at the lake house. Her friend nodded her head.

"Your still going to the dance on Friday right?" Elena's eyes went wide. She had totally forgotten about the 50's dance that Friday, and she had already agreed to go out with Damon.

"Of course." She said to her friend. Caroline nodded and smile. Elena could tell that her friend was excited about her attending the dance. She suddenly thought of Damon, wondering if he would attend the dance with her.

He probably wouldn't. Damon didn't seem like the type to attend a dance. But then again, he didn't seem like the type to be sweet when he wanted to and he was, only around her. But when he was mad he was pissed. When Stefan took his ring, she thought that he was going to.

"Hello, earth to Elena!" Caroline said to her. She jumped out of her thoughts and looked towards her friend.

"What?" She asked.

"We have a new history teacher."

"What?" Elena asked in complete shock.

"Yeah Mr. Tanner was attacked by an animal this weekend. My mom said that it was horrible."

"Did she say anything else?" Elena asked.

"I overheard her saying that their body's were drained of blood." Elena's breath caught in her throat. She knew of two vampires in Mystic Falls, one of them was with her for the weekend. She did her best to keep her reaction control.

"Thats so weird." Elena stated. She grabbed her phone out of her pocket and was planning on sending a text to Damon, however; he had texted her first.

Jenna came by and picked up most of your things. I offered to pick you up from school, she finally agreed. Don't worry, I didn't compel her into the idea.

Elena couldn't help but let out a little laugh at his text. She quickly sent him a text back, telling him that she was glad he was picking her up and the time she got out. She knew that he was probably very tempted in doing so. "What are you laughing at." Caroline asked her. She had forgotten that Caroline was even at the table with her. Elena shook her head.

"Its nothing." The lunch bell rang and the two gathered their things and headed off to history. There was something off about the new History teacher. Alaric Saltzman. Elena felt as if he was watching her the entire class, when she would look up from her notes, she found that he was.

As soon as the bell rang, students began to leave the classroom, unfortunately, Elena couldn't leave the classroom soon enough. She was one of the last out of the classroom. She thought she was in the clearing, however; Mr. Saltzman caught her arm. "I don't know what your doing here Katherine, But I intend on finding out."

"I'm not Katherine." Elena said looking at her teacher. His eyes went wide and she pulled her arm from his grasp. She left the room in a rush, almost running to the parking lot. Once she saw Damon's car, she calmly got into the car and sat down. She was shaking.

"What happened?" He asked.

"My new history teacher, he called me Katherine." She barely got the words. He was walking towards the school. Elena got out of the car and managed to catch up to where he was walking. "Damon what are you doing?"

"Going to have a little talk with your history teacher." He said as if it was nothing.

"Damon stop." He turned around. His blue eyes stared into her chocolate brown ones.

"Look, Elena. This guy clearly knows about Katherine, and he could be useful to us. What if she isn't in the tomb, then what? He could know." He said to her, she nodded her head and she led him into her history classroom. Damon opened the door and Mr. Saltzman looked up at the guests in his classroom. He stood directly in front of his desk. "This conversation can go two ways, you can tell me what you know, or you can not, and never be alive again. How do you know Katherine?"

"How do you know Katherine?" He countered.

"Katherine made my life hell, how did she make yours?"

"She took my wife, and turned her." Damon looked shocked at his answer. This meant that she wasn't in the tomb.

"That little bitch."

"What do you mean she took your wife?" Elena asked, taking a step to be closer to Damon.

"She took her, Katherine said it was genetic curiosity." Mr. Saltzman said. "That was the last thing I remember. She knocked me out." Damon let out a little laugh.

"Well you've been a great help-"

"Alaric."

"Alaric, right." Damon said and he began to leave the classroom, however; the teacher was not done talking.

"I'm sorry about calling you Katherine, Elena." He said, she gave him a polite smile.

"It's okay." She left the room before he could say anymore. As the two walked down the hallway of the school, she felt Damon put an arm around her, he kissed the side of her head, then let her go completely. She smiled and they got into her car, he drove her to the boarding house. Elena took her time getting out of his car and walking to her own. He walked over to her and picked her up off of the ground.

"I'm pretty sure if you go home now, you will be missing some of your items." He said to her. He let her go and she turned around looking at him.

"Are you going to tell me where they are?" She asked, he shook his head. She got up on her tip toes and kissed him softly. He shook his head.

"I think you will be mad at Jenna with in the next few days, then you can come here and find them." She smiled at his comment.

"Your brilliant."

Damon was right, within minutes of being home she was pissed at Jenna. Elena walked up to her room and began to work on her homework. Once it was finished, she told Jenna that she was going out to the Grill, if she liked it or not. Instead of going to the grill, she went to the boarding house. From the moment she got to the home, she could tell that something was off. She opened the door and saw Zach laying on the ground. She only took a few steps into the home, realizing that he was lying in blood. She opened her mouth to yell for Damon, however; she saw him and Stefan arguing in the living room. Both of their eyes were veined and their fangs were out. She knew that they had heard her walk in, however Elena didn't want to get into the middle of it.

"Why the fuck did you kill Zack?" Damon questioned as soon as he had Stefan pinned to the wall.

"He got in the way." Elena's eyes went wide.

"Your lucky my girlfriend is here, or I wouldn't think twice about ripping your heart out." Stefan shoved Damon off of him.

"I'm gonna go feed." In a flash, Stefan left the room. Elena walked over to Damon and wrapped her arms around him. Not knowing what else to do.

"I'm sorry you had to see that." Elena shrugged her shoulders.

"Its okay I just needed to get out of the house." He nodded his head

"I'm going to go bury Zack and clean up. I'll call you later." Damon kissed her gently and walked over to Zack. Elena looked away, and left the boarding house so she didn't have to see anything. She got into her car and began driving back to her home. Her mind drifted to Stefan and Zack. He had no idea why he would kill his own family, that shocked her completely. Something was different about Stefan, she noticed a difference from when she had first met him, and from school today. He seemed more distracted, Lexi had said that he was planning on freeing Katherine. However; she wasn't in the tomb, she wasn't going to tell him and she doubted that Damon would. Elena was not watching where she was going at all, her mind was too focused on what she had just experienced. She failed to see the person that was standing in the middle of the road. She slammed on her breaks, and the car flipped over several times. She landed upside down with the person lying a few feet away from where she was. He began to stand up, healing himself in the process, Elena knew that this was no human. They stood up and began walking over to her, that was the last thing she saw before everything went black.
