Hope you liked my previous chapter couldn't resist the title of that particular chap ;).
But anyways here's Chapter 10: Whipped
Enjoy!
DAMON POV
Elena stood there gaping and frozen staring at Isabella, her mouth opening and closing like a fish. He wasn't surprised and knew what was coming next, Isabella must of suspected it too as she remained calm and let Elena gape for that little while before stopping her ask her well known question 'What are you doing here' that would have been in a hushed whisper.
And then obviously a hint of blame would be put on Damon for releasing her, obviously.
But before Elena could even get a word in; Isabella had to put in a sarcastic comment.
"Elena dear," She smiled sweetly, "Close your mouth, you'll catch flies"
Elena abruptly shut her mouth and frowned still, stood there, staring.
"Isabella," She asked, "What are you doing here?"
Isabella waved her hand carelessly, "Never mind that, aren't you going to let me in?"
Damon smirked and moved around her to stand by Elena's side inside the house, his grin getting wider as Isabella frowned.
"What's wrong Izzie," He taunted, "Haven't you got an invite?"
Isabella growled and was about to come back with a snarky comeback, that was until Jenna decided to step in to see what was taking Elena so long.
"Elena, what…?"
Damon turned and watched as Jenna stopped short to see the confrontation at the door and a very frustrated Isabella stood outside. She looked confused until her eyes rested upon Damon's face, with a very cocky expression; she scowled before turning to Isabella at the door and put on a happy smile.
"Isabella," She smiled, walking towards her and rested against the door frame in front of Damon, "I haven't seen you in a while"
Isabella smiled brightly back, "Yeah, I know, I just saw Damon on his way up your yard and talking to Elena, so I thought I come over and say 'Hi'" She continued, "And they mentioned that you were having a barbecue so I better be go and leave you to it"
Damon had to admit that she put on a good show as she turned to leave, slowly making her way down the steps in mock disappointment, that Jenna was slowly falling for.
He decided to intervene before the inevitable happened.
"Yeah, speaking of which we better get to it" He started ready to turn around and drag Elena along, but Jenna turned round to glare at him before running out to Isabella that was already slowly making her way across the yard.
Damon couldn't help but groan as Jenna fell for the act and speak the last words he wanted to here.
"Isabella, wait!" Jenna called going down the steps, "You should come in, join us it will be fun"
Damon scowled down at Isabella as she shot him a victorious look before continuing with the charade.
"Oh no, I couldn't impose" Isabella started
"No it's okay, come in, have fun," Jenna insisted before adding jokingly, "Come on, we don't bite"
"Oh, if you insist" Isabella smiled as Jenna ushered her up to the house and inside.
"Nice one Jenna" Damon muttered under his breath so only Elena and super hearing could pick up his words
Isabella looked at him and smiled, a little smug, as she made her way past Damon, and he had no choice but to follow, as Elena went off in another direction to go tell Caroline. Isabella followed Jenna and was shown over to Mason Lockwood.
Alaric turned over to Damon and offered him a smile, "Hey, we're doing shot's, let me get you a shot glass buddy" he turned to look around for a shot glass but paused as Jenna grabbed hers off of the counter before thrusting it into Damon's hands.
"Here use mine" she said scornfully, before storming off out of the kitchen, Alaric trailing after her like a lost puppy, leaving Isabella, Mason and Damon alone.
"Yeah, she doesn't like me very much" Damon stated to the two, walking over to Mason and Isabella and giving his shot glass over to Mason.
"We haven't met", Mason said looking up at Damon, "Mason Lockwood"
"Oh sure," Damon replied holding out his hand and firmly shaking Mason's hand, "Hey, Damon Salvatore"
"I know," he smiled, "I've heard great things about you"
Damon pretended to look shocked, "Really? That's weird, cause I'm a dick" He smiled back at Mason at his joke
"Can't argue with that" Isabella muttered from the other side of Mason, snatching away Damon's freshly poured shot glass and downing it. Damon's happy expression dropped and proceeded to introduce Isabella.
"And this," he paused, "Is Isabella Swan, she has just recently moved to town"
Mason turned to look at her as she flashed a charming smile,
"Nice to meet you" she purred
Damon watched in amusement and astonishment as he watched all reason escape Mason's eyes and facial expression as he succumbed to Isabella's charms. Is that what he looked like when she did that?
God he hoped not, he had a reputation to keep up.
He chuckled as Mason lost his focus and lowered his gaze to look at Isabella's lips, but couldn't help but feel a stab of jealousy course through him at the sight of Isabella flirting with someone other than him. And that was bad; Damon Salvatore should have no reason to be jealous of anyone,
And he especially shouldn't be jealous of a disgusting mutt. It was time he intervened.
"Hey, Lockwood, how about we help Alaric with the food huh?"
That snapped him out of it; Mason shook his head and looked at Damon giving him a small smile.
"Uhh, yeah sure" he turned and chanced a glance back at Isabella, who gave him coy smile and a little wave. He returned a smile before hurrying away in the same direction as Alaric and Jenna.
"Overdoing it don't you think?" Damon asked
"Not at all, Damon," she replied giving him a wicked smile, "I'm just loosening him up a bit"
"Yeah, sure"
Isabella's eyes glinted with an emotion that Damon didn't recognize, and slowly made her way around to Damon, getting closer to him.
"You're so sexy when you're jealous" She whispered, she looked up at him through her lashes
Damon smirked, "What makes you think I'm jealous?"
"Hmmmm…" She hummed, ignoring his question, as she trailed her hands up his chest and slowly draped her arms around his neck. She slowly stood on her tiptoes bringing her lips in close proximity to his. Breathing in her scent, Damon nearly lost it and almost gave in to assault her perfectly plumped lips, in a heat of passion. And he nearly did as she moved past his lips and up to his ear, her breath lightly tickling his ear and neck.
She sighed softly; Damon let loose a growl in restraint as he grabbed her hips tightly.
He could almost imagine her smile at her next words, "That's why"
She maneuvered out of his grip as she once again walked away; Damon turned and watched her leave improper thoughts were running through his head but one phrase stood out as his inner monologue spoke.
'Damn Salvatore, I hate to say it but you've just met your match.'
He growled and shook his head, this girl was temptingly delicious in every way and it was only a moment of time before the inevitable happened.
'You're so whipped'
He growled again and pushed away from the countertop he was leaning on and composed his features into his familiar cocky grin, and set off to go help Alaric and Mason.
ELENA POV
Stefan was still not returning any of her calls and even though Elena would hate to say it, she was getting cranky. She was so distracted she didn't notice anyone entering the kitchen behind her.
"What's up Elena?"
She almost screamed as she whirled round in shock to see Isabella stood at the entrance a slight smile on her lips.
"Isabella, you scared me"
"Need any help?" Isabella gestured to what she was doing
"Umm, sure I could use the extra help"
Isabella made her way over and set to work helping prepare the dessert, this continued for a good few minutes before Isabella spoke again.
"I'm not all bad you know" She looked up at her and their brown eyes met and Isabella smiled softly at Elena before continuing, "I still remember all my lives as I was a human all of them, of course unreal, but I still have the memories in my head"
Elena stopped what she was doing and gave her full attention to her as she spoke, "It was never my fault, my brothers decided that I was trouble and chose to lock me away in a human form, with a witches help of course," she paused and looked up at Elena to see if she was listening.
"That was sometime in the 1800's, since then the spell has created different scenarios in which I would have different families throughout time. But each would forget about me as soon as it was time to move on. My vampire subconscious would remember but my human mind would forget and would create new stories for each family I was with. Right now Charlie Swan, Phil and Renee Dwyer will not remember me as I have started my new life here with my 'Great Aunt'
"The Gilbert device woke me up out of the spell and now here I am" She smiled timidly up at Elena
And that was when Elena realized, this was the real Isabella. Not the heard hearted cruel vampire she had first met, she had been betrayed by her brothers and trapped in her own body, forced to lead a human life with feelings of love for her family only for them to be squashed and moved along so it could be repeated again. Rinse and repeat.
"Isabella…" she was about to comfort her before her guards went back up and Damon stepped into the room to join them.
"Aunt Jenna's getting tipsy" Damon commented with a smile, Elena straightened up and went back to work, Isabella doing the same.
"Will you stop pouring her alcohol?" Elena replied annoyed that he interrupted the conversation and that he was getting her Aunt drunk.
"He can't help it," Isabella smirked, "it's the only way he gets other people to at least stand being around him"
"I want her to like me" he explained in mock surrender
Elena sighed and looked across into the sitting room everyone else was in, changing the subject.
"How's Operation Lockwood?" She asked
Damon leaned in close to Elena's ear, eyes locked with Isabella's who simply raised a solitary eyebrow in amusement as she shrunk away.
"He's my new BFF"
Jenna entered the kitchen just as Isabella turned to leave, and she couldn't help noticing that Damon watched her leave with an intense gaze.
That's odd, she thought, Damon's never done that to anyone before, but shrugged it off as Damon being Damon and concentrated on the now.
"There you are," Jenna said, she smelt slightly of alcohol and gave off happy vibes as she smiled. Yep she's drunk, she thought.
"Isn't this fun" Jenna giggled; Elena didn't answer and only smiled politely in reply.
"Yes," Damon smiled, "Thank you so much for inviting me…"
"Did I have a choice" Jenna cut in,
"I know what you must think about me…" Damon started
"No you don't," Jenna snapped back, "You've never dated you, and I've dated many you's"
"Well," Damon replied, "I'm a work in progress"
Elena handed Jenna a knife as Damon's eyes flickered to her and the box beside her
"Ooh," He walked over to where Elena was standing as she moved away towards Jenna; he examined the box then turned to look at Jenna, "These are fancy"
"Thanks," She said "Their my mother's silver set"
Elena looked up abruptly at Damon as he met her gaze and smirked at her pulling out a long knife from the bottom drawer.
ISABELLA'S POV
Isabella couldn't believe after all this time of being locked away inside her own mind she was still weak, she had just relayed most of her life story to the human she was trying to protect in order to get revenge. Her own name was made to feel impersonal and harsh, just to keep them at a distance. She knew that if she could have her own way Elena would be calling her 'Bella' by now.
And Damon, she was meant to be seducing him, wearing him down. But all that was happening was her sinking deeper into his life. She wanted nothing more than to give him a kiss he would never forget, that would leave him wanting more. But it would most probably be the same for her. She was too weak, whipped. Christ and she had only been with them for the day.
She sighed as she sat on the Gilbert's roof after pretending that 'she had to get back home' after Elena left. She listened as Damon and Lockwood shook hands in agreement, but she knew better Damon was planning something that would get them in trouble with the werewolf.
After another few minutes past she watched as Mason left followed shortly by Damon who followed him in another car. It was time for her to leave.
She stood up and stretched her legs and arms in a human gesture, which was unneeded, but felt right. She hadn't done this in years and hesitated, no time like the present, she thought, before jumping high off of the roof and shifting into a beautiful magpie and flitted through the sky after Damon's car.
Oh yeah, she thought, I've still got it.
