Elena giggled as Damon leaned in again to capture her lips.

Except their lips never did meet because of the constant, loud knocking on the door.

They sighed in unison as Damon said, "I'll get it. "

She nodded, slowly, not wanting him to answer the door. She wished she could just block out all the problems in her life and just talk to Damon.

Yes it was official, it wasn't possible to think about anything but Damon anymore.

Damon must've noticed her disappoint as he stopped in his tracks of opening the door to place a chaste kiss on her lips.

She smiled as he rushed to the door, pulling a shirt on in the process.

When Damon opened the door, he wasn't prepared to see everyone here.

Jeremy, Bonnie, Caroline, Tyler, Alaric and Matt.

Everyone except Bonnie walked through the door, giving a slight 'hey' to Damon as they went past him.

"Witchy, if you're not going to come in please move slightly to the left so I can close the door on you. " said Damon, crossing his arms over his chest.

"If you think I'm just gonna forget about you and Elena kissing, well you're wrong. I- " Damon cut her off.

"Okay Judgy, where in my last sentence did I say, 'Please forget about my kiss with Elena'? " he asked her, cockily.

Bonnie closed her eyes, "Damon. She's my best friend. I won't hesitate to kill you if you hurt her. "

A new voice joined the conversation before Damon could reply.

"Who said he would hurt me? " Elena replied, moving closer to them and crossing her arms over her chest.

"Now are you two just gonna stand here and argue all night or are you going to come inside? " asked Elena, raising an eyebrow.

Damon sighed and walked past Elena, not sparing her a second glance. He was mad.

"Elena, I'm sorry- you know that I don't mean to be so rude with him but- "

"Oh please, Bonnie. You don't need to lie to me. " said Elena, giving her a sad smile.

When they entered the room again, it was silent. Everyone seemed to be off in their own world.

Alaric and Damon were sitting on the couch, drinking-as usual- while everyone else had found separate spaces in the room.

"Okay, who died? " after a long silence Elena became worried. "Oh my goodness, who died? "

Damon looked up to her, "Come here. "

Elena walked over to the couch, sitting down next to him, "What happened? " she asked in a voice only Damon and Caroline were able to hear.

"Jeremy, care to explain what happened? " asked Damon, wrapping his arms around Elena slowly, he could almost swear Bonnie was growling.

Alaric slowly zoned out as Jeremy explained everything to Elena. He knew she wouldn't take this well. Hell, she would absolutely despise them for not telling her sooner.

"You saw mom? "

Yeah, she would hate them.

"Well... What did she say? How did this happen, what- " Elena started, only to be interrupted by Jeremy.

He sighed, "I don't know why mom was here but I do know why Vicki and Anna are. It's Emily. She's keeping them here for some reason. And if I try to ask why they go into a trance-like state that... It just doesn't work. "

"Oh. Oh, I'm so stupid! " exclaimed Bonnie, surprising everyone in the room, especially a smirking Damon who added, 'Now you're getting somewhere. '

Bonnie slapped a hand over her face and slumped down into an armchair, "It's the witches! They said there would be consequences, remember? This is their doing. "

Elena frowned, "But you banished Vicki and Anna away from this world. Wouldn't it have taken off their curse? "

"No. Those witches are stronger than me and the fact that Emily is keeping them here doesn't quite help. Things are happening and I have a sense that something big is about to go down. And we won't be ready for it. We need to research, guys. Find out what's happening and then try to fix it. We could find away to keep Vicki and Anna away from Jeremy so he's not bothered by them. That could help, right? " Bonnie rambled on, running a hand through her wavy hair.

Alaric sat up, "You know what, it's late, why don't we sleep on it and do all the brainy stuff tomorrow? Just keep your minds clear tonight and try to get some rest, okay? " he said and everyone slowly agreed.

When Jeremy got home alone-Elena had told him she was staying at the boarding house- he walked up to his room and closed his bedroom door after him.

Turning around, he moved quickly out of his shoes. He just wanted to get to bed.

But it turned out, if he wanted to get inside the bed, he would have to pull the covers up and wake up what looked to be a very sleepy Anna.

"Anna? What are you doing in my bed? " he asked, in a voice that sounded confused and half asleep.

"Hello to you too. " she said, smiling.

Jeremy sighed and sat down next to the content figure.

"I told everyone today. About you and Vicki. And my mother. "

"What? You told them? Well what did they say? Does Bonnie know a spell that could help me? Wait- you're mother? You saw Miranda? " Anna rambled on with questions Jeremy was too tired to answer.

"Anna. " she continued rambling. "Anna I- " she continued. "Just calm- " OK, that was it.

He swiftly leaned in and captured her lips.

He knew he loved Bonnie. But after all this time, Anna was still... She was still the girl that he met in the library that was obsessed with vampires.

When they pulled away, they looked at each other. Anna heard something at the doorway and due to her enhanced vampire hearing, she knew it was Bonnie.

"Jer? " came Bonnie's heartbroken voice from her place in the doorway.

Jeremy quickly turned and his heart sank. Tears were filling Bonnie's eyes as she backed away and ran down the stairs faster than Jeremy could reply.

****DELENA****

"No. "

Was the simple reply Damon gave to Elena as she asked if he could at least try to get along with Bonnie.

"Damon- " he interrupted her.

"Dammit, Elena, do you really think I'm gonna try to get along with her when she tells me to my face that she won't hesitate to kill me? "

Elena flinched at his sudden outburst of anger. "Elena, I'm sorry. I guess I'm just tired. "

She sat back in the armchair, rubbing her forehead, he walked towards her and knelt in front of the chair.

"Elena. I hope you know how much I love you. The fact that you've excepted me, I can't even express how much... " he stopped and looked her in the eyes.

And kissed her.

OMG everyone is kissing! I'm aware of the fact that not much is happening in these chapters, so I'm trying to make the next chapter have action.

So the only way I'm continuing is if I get more than 7 reviews on this chapter. So many people alert and favourite(which I am in no doubt thankful for) but they don't review so please click that button!
