Chapter 36
"Hey I got some!" Bonnie grinned. She grabbed Elena's skewer and continued holding those marshmallows over the fire while Elena sandwiched Bonnie's hot marshmallows between two pieces of chocolate and graham crackers before sliding them off.
"What the hell are you doing?" Kol worried as he caught a glimpse of the two of them near fire from the hallway. He flashed in and pulled them both back from the fire.
"Dude, we're making s'mores." Elena told him.
"Kol we're not having any suicidal tendencies - here eat this," Bonnie said as she handed him one.
"This is fantastic!" He exclaimed. "Elijah we're playing with fire in here!" Kol called as he settled to help with the s'mores.
Elijah was in there quickly and had Elena far enough away from the fire.
"What in the world has gotten into you lovely?" He asked her worriedly. She smiled and kissed him, passionately.
"S'mores! I'm hoping s'mores are going to get into me," Elena said but while she was wrapped in Elijah's arms Kol was sandwiching her marshmallows and sliding them off. He took a satisfied bite of the first one and handed the other to Elijah.
"These are great! You've got to try some!" Kol enthused as he put more marshmallows on the skewer. "You're holding her too far away Elijah! She won't get the marshmallows done right!"
"I want some!" Rebekah and Caroline declared.
The other four turned around to see that they had an audience.
"We will make the s'mores for you ladies." Klaus said. He and Stefan were in agreement that they wanted their girls away from the fire.
Elijah looked down at his girlfriend and smiled.
"Let's eat this s'mores thing." He said with a kiss.
Soon everyone had learned the art of making s'mores. They shared s'mores and hot chocolate before they turned in for bed. Elena woke in the middle of the night feeling in need of something. She didn't want to wake Elijah so she crept out of the suite and downstairs. She was thirsty so she poured herself a glass of juice but that still didn't solve the problem.
That was when she felt another presence behind her. Turning, she saw that it was Elijah.
"Sorry for waking you." She said softly. "I'm just...thirsty for some reason and I don't know what for."
"Elena you're a vampire now remember? That unquenchable thirst is for blood," Elijah said gently and he held his wrist before her smiling as her veins began to appear. He couldn't hide completely the moan that escaped as her fangs pierced his wrist. He pulled her back against his chest and held her tenderly as she fed while they watched the snow that continued to fall on the already white landscape.
