Author's Note:
Well thank you guys for all your great reviews! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. So here is chapter twelve. Enjoy!
Chapter XII
General POV
Jeremy and Anna sat on the couch in the parlor cuddling. Pearl had already returned and was upstairs talking with Harper. Elena was with Stefan in his room.
Jeremy and Anna were so happy. Everything was now out in the open and they could no longer hide their love, but there was still the John Gilbert problem and the sooner he was dealt with, the better.
As Anna laid her head against his chest listening to his steady heartbeat. She never thought she could have these feelings for anyone, especially a human. But there he was, holding her in his arms. Anna got up and got on top on Jeremy and straddled his waist as she smiled. Jeremy smiled back as she leaned forward and kissed him.
Jeremy and Anna were so engrossed in each other that they never heard the front door open and close and in walked Damon.
Damon POV
As I walked back to the boarding house I replayed the events that happened at my little "meeting" with Isobel. I couldn't believe I said all those things, but deep down I knew they were all true. I do care deeply about Elena and I would be damned if I let that monster, especially a monster that I helped create, harm her.
I walked into the boarding house to find Jeremy and Anna making out on the couch.
"No Anna! No sexual intercourse on the couch!" I said loudly, knowing Pearl would be able to hear me. I smirked as Jeremy and Anna immediately separated and I before I had time to react Anna rammed me back into the wall bearing her fangs at me as her eyes began to darken.
"What's wrong Anna? Don't want mommy to come downstairs and spank you!"
"No! It's not me I'm worried about!" She said coldly, the anger clearly audible in her voice. I could feel the smirk on my face fading, I realized she was right, I knew of Pearl's feeling towards Jeremy and she would more likely rip Jeremy's throat out, then harm her own daughter.
Anna finally calmed down and her face returned back to normal as she let me go and went back to sit next to Jeremy who was glaring at me. I smirked at him and walked to the liquor cart to pour myself a drink.
Pearl POV
Harper and I were sitting together reading when I heard Damon's remark. I practically jumped out of my skin and was so tempted to run downstairs, but I refuse to give Damon the satisfaction.
I knew Anna had strong feelings for Jeremy, but were they really that strong? And was it mutual? I guess I'll have to find out for myself, but for now I was more interested in the conversation Elena and Stefan were having.
Stefan: I just don't think you should get yourself too involved with them!
Elena: And why not?
Stefan: I'm just afraid…. I don't want to see you get hurt!
Elena: You don't want to see me get hurt? Or you?
Stefan: And what's that supposed to mean?
Elena: You know exactly what it means. You feel threatened!
Stefan: Elena…..that not true!
Elena: Yes it is. You feel threatened by every new person in my life. First Damon and now Pearl.
Stefan: That's ridiculous.
Elena: Is it? When it came to Damon I could understand why. But Pearl and Anna… and now I bet even soon, Harper!….Your just being plain…selfish! My life doesn't revolve around you….I can have other people…and other vampires in my life. My life Stefan!
Stefan: Elena…I'm just thinking about your safety.
Elena: My safety! Ha!….More like, your own selfish needs.
How dare he? I thought to myself. I got up and started to head to the door when I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Harper.
Harper POV
I heard what Stefan was saying to Miss Elena and I had to admit I was a little angry myself. Miss Pearl was clearly angry, but I felt Miss Elena should handle it without any intervention from any of us.
Damon POV
I heard loud and clear what Stefan had said to Elena. I began to grip the glass of scotch tightly as I felt my anger threatening to spill over. I heard Stefan's room door open and slam shut as Elena came stomping down the stairs clearly angry.
"Jeremy lets go!" Elena said looking at her brother, trying to calm down. Jeremy hesitated for a moment and the nodded and kissed Anna goodbye.
"Bye Anna!…Pearl, Harper! Bye Damon!" She said as she walked towards the door fully aware we could all hear her as Jeremy followed behind.
"Bye!" Anna and I said in sync.
General POV
Damon and Anna heard the car leave the drive way as they saw Stefan come down the stairs, brooding as usual. Damon and Anna looked at each other and smirked. Anna had also heard his conversation with Elena and was almost as upset as he was. Anna wanted to make peace with Elena, but not only for Jeremy but for herself.
Damon POV
Elena hadn't spoken to Stefan since their argument last night and it seemed she had no intention to anytime soon, Anna and I were immensely happy about that, it was just so much fun to see him brood around.
I was in the kitchen enjoying a nice warm glass of A negative when I heard Elena's car pull up. I ran to the door and opened it up before she could knock. I opened my mouth ready to taunt her with some witty remark, but froze when I saw Bonnie standing behind her.
"We have a problem!" Elena said in a serious tone looking me straight in the eye.
I hope you all enjoyed! I will try to update soon!
