I watched as Damon dressed before phoning Stefan.
"What's going on?"
"Well, I showered. I shaved. Had breakfast with Jessie. Watched her dress-"he winked at me and I rolled my eyes at him. "Very relaxed." he finished.
"That makes one of us." I frowned. Maybe Elena's finding shit from Stefan's past?
"I did hear one piece of good news though." He sat next to me, I know what's coming. "Tyler Lockwood ran away from home last night." I sighed and slapped his hand that rested on my leg and he held his hands up in defeat before standing.
"How do you know?" Stefan asked down the phone
"Well, I heard it from Sheriff Forbes, who heard it from a very distraught Carol Lockwood, thus, ending our werewolf chapter, bringing us to…" Stefan finished for him,
"Killing Elijah." I bit my bottom lip. What if it doesn't work? What will Jonas do with my blood, he could get revenge on me so easily.
"Exactly." He concluded playing with the dagger.
"Well, it's not going to be easy. He's crafty."
"Well, I've got a crafty little dagger." He smirked and I stood up to stand behind him.
"He's an Original. We don't know what all that encompasses."
"Oh, trust me, Stefan. I'm gonna dot all my t's. I don't want any surprises." He grasped my hand and twirled me so my back was to his chest and his arm wrapped around my waist.
"Wow, Damon, tell me you're actually gonna be careful for once." I snickered a laugh and Damon trapped my earlobe between his teeth.
"Yes, Stefan, I've become you. How tragic for the three of us."
"Oh, on the contrary, I don't think you've changed at all." I commented.
"Got to run. I've a murder to plan. Busy day." He quickly hung up and I sighed taking the dagger from his hands.
"I'm glad you haven't changed." I smiled lightly.
"Actually-" he turned me to face him. I frowned as he held my hands and rested my head to his. "Close your eyes." I sighed but complied.
"If this is some 50 shades of-"he hushed me and I felt his ands stroke my face.
I frowned as I watched the scene unfold in my mind. It was back in the 1800s just after Damon and Stefan had turned. Stefan was so reckless, it was almost although he and Damon had traded lives over the past hundred years. Damon was so sensible, understanding.
As my eyes fluttered open I sat Damon's bright blue eyes staring into my own.
"I've changed jess, you just weren't with me to see the good Damon." I frowned as he sighed.
"I do see the good Damon." I smiled as I cupped his face. "I love you." I dragged out slowly before pulling his lips to my own. "You need to give yourself more credit Damon. You are good. I love you no matter what." I added and he smiled before kissing me again. "I've seen you when you're a bastard, and I've seen you when you're sweet, vulnerable."
"You're too good for me-" I put my finger to his lips.
"Stop. We've talked about this, you are good enough. I love you, you love me. That's all that matters." I ordered and he sighed with a nod.
"I love you." He kissed me sweetly before pulling back. His hands held my upper arms before his one hand caressed my cheek. I smiled up at him before holding his hand and pulling him out the bedroom with me.
"Let's go meet Alaric." I sighed and he nodded as he walked a little behind me, with his hand still in mine. We both grabbed our jackets before heading out.
Alaric filled us in of when he had his encounter with Elijah and Jenna. And cue Damon's interrogation….
"Other than the lecture on the history of Mystic Falls, did you get anything out of Elijah?"
"No, it was boring. Of course, Jenna thinks he's charming." He gave a tight smile.
"You sounded jealous. Sound a bit jealous?" Damon asked me and I nodded.
"Yup, pretty much do. Although he is kinda cute." Damon shot me a glare.
"Not as cute as me of course." I rolled my eyes.
"You sound jealous. Sound a bit jalousie?" I asked Alaric and he nodded.
"Yup, pretty much do." He concluded and we both shared a chuckle.
"whatever." He rolled his eyes and I turned his face to look at me.
"Oh, but you are hot." I pouted.
"Mm I know." He smirked with a pout of his own before he kissed me sweetly.
"This is too weird." Alaric whispered to himself.
"I just need the right opportunity." Damon grumbled with a disappointed look before both our eyes notice Jenna and Elijah. I watched Damon as he noticeably perked up.
"Ah, there's Jenna with her new boyfriend." I kicked his leg but he only signalled a hello to them. "Hi." He greeted and they both moved over to us.
"Damon…" I whispered so only he could hear.
"relax." He replied giving my thigh a gentle squeeze.
"Hey, guys." Jenna smiled.
"So I hear you two had quite a meeting of historical minds today." Damon chirped and I sighed.
"Yeah, I guess you could say that." she nodded with a smile and she shot me a confused look motioning to Damon. I hung my head.
"Well, as much as I'd love to continue this, I've got papers to grade." Alaric informed and I shot him an apologetic smile which he returned.
"No, you know what? We should continue this. Let's have a dinner party." I suggested going by Damon's plans. My tone was fairly bitter and cold but I couldn't care less.
"Ooh, my sexy, amazing girl. Full of so many good ideas. I'll be happy to host. Say tonight. Maybe? What do you think Jenna?" He inquired with his arm slung over his shoulders.
"You owe me." I whispered to me and I watched as everyone conversed.
"Anything for you baby." He whispered into my ear before kissing the shell of my ear and I sighed.
"It'd be a pleasure." Elijah commented and Damon just got happier.
"Great." He smiled before pulling me up with him to go buy- yes, buy- clothes for Kathrine.
"Let's just hurry this up." I said grabbing the first pair of jeans I saw in Elena's size and a tank top. "Done, let's go."
"If I knew I'd be this easy shopping with you I'd do it more often." He smirked and I looked up at him with a smile.
"Oh trust me, I'm expensive to buy for." I informed with a sigh.
"Not a problem." He kissed my temple and I smiled.
"Why do we need to visit her again?" I asked as he pulled me through the tomb.
"Because we need to know if this dagger will actual work." I sighed before opening the bottle of blood we had bring for-
"Nuhu, that's for Kathrine." I glared at him as the veins throbbed under my eyes. His thumb glided across the veins. "Fine, tiny bit." He ordered and I smirked before taking a gulp before he took it from my hands.
"no fair, she only needs a little anyway!" he sighed and pulled me closer to him as we came to stand in front of a very old, desiccating Kathrine.
"Bribing sweetie." He chimed and I sighed. I watched as he crouched down to the bitch and waved the open bottle in front of her nose before he coached her through the drinking.
"I've come bearing gifts." He announced standing from his crouched position. "I didn't have time to properly shop, but I did get a couple of things."
"Yeah, we spent money on a helpless bitch, you should be very grateful." I spat as the bottle crushed under her grip.
"Wow, that blood did the trick. You're almost pretty again." He smirked.
"What is it you want, Damon? Jessie?" she smirked at me and I grimaced.
"Guess whose back in town? Your old friend, John Gilbert." Her eyebrows raised in almost fascination.
"Really. Why?" she asked coldly pulling herself to a stand.
"Says he loves his daughter. Wants to protect her and his very hot niece from Elijah and big, bad Klaus." He informed and I felt his hand go to the small of my back.
"Touching." She commented looking over at us both.
"Yeah, right. He told me this old wives tale about how to kill an Original." He informed.
"And you want to know if it's true. If it was, I wouldn't tell you." She spat coldly.
"Now, why not? I mean, you want Elijah and Klaus dead as much as I do." He mused as she pulled the clothes form the hangers.
"Klaus, yes. Elijah, no. He's compelled me to stay in here. If he dies, I'm stuck forever." She added.
"Sucks for you." Damon and I both said at the same time.
"How cute, finishing each other's sentences." She smirked at me but I didn't bat an eyelid. "Forget it, Damon. Killing Elijah would be a suicide mission. You can't do it." she underestimates Damon.
"Can so."
"Can't." I rolled my eyes at the pair.
"How old are you? Five?" I asked in awe as I squinted my eyes at them both. "He can too. Even with a dagger-"
"And a little white oak ash? No." he asked and she turned to face us both in complete panic.
"If you kill Elijah, then I'm stuck in here forever." She stressed.
"You're really scared." Damon smirked and I smiled.
"Just get me out of here first and then I'll help you. I'll I'll help you kill Elijah or… or protect Jessie. Whatever you want." She begged and I scoffed at her.
"I get you out of here and your ass is sipping Klaus-free margaritas on some unknown island somewhere. No way." he recollected
"That's not true. I'll stay. Damon, please just don't do it." she begged.
"Well, thank you, you've told me everything I need to know." He commented holding my hand and pulling me from her.
"I've told you nothing." She spat and we both turned to face her.
"You have. You have indeed confirmed that it is possible to kill an Original, which I will do tonight. Guess who's coming to dinner?" he asked smugly and I smugly smiled at her.
"I'll come see you in a few hundred years, you know? To catch up." I smiled as I waved at her before we left.
"Tonight? Is that the best idea?" I asked as I was about to move into the kitchen to Aunt Jenna.
"perfect." I sighed and he cupped my face. "Hey? Don't worry. Do you trust me?" he asked and I nodded.
"Just don't die. You die, I die" I ordered and he frowned before kissing me.
"I love you." I nodded.
"Love you too, I'm gonna go talk to Aunt Jenna." I informed before moving past him.
"What's it with you and Damon, you were pretty icy at the historical society and now…."
"Yeah, well I love him and I can't live without him so… anyway, my turn to ask you the same thing, what's going on with you and Alaric? You guys are being pretty icy yourselfves."
"I feel like there's some tension. I don't know. I really like him. It's more than like and I want it to work, but I can't help but feel that he's hiding something from me. And then I've got John whispering things in my ear about him." I scoffed.
"Fuck john." I spat and she hit my arm and I had to fake wince, damn humans are week. "Like what anyway?"
"Things I don't believe, not if they're coming from John's mouth."
"Trust is the key to any relationship." I informed bumping her shoulder.
"And you trust Damon?" she asked and I nodded.
"With my life." I smiled as we continued to prepare the dinner. "I'll be back in a sec." I informed as I moved into the room where I had the shock of my life.
"Impossible! Alaric did you just turn down a glass of perfectly good bourbon?" I asked din horror as I took the glass from Damon for myself.
"I don't like the idea of Elijah being in the same house with Jenna." He informed me with stress.
"Neither do I but-"
"Jenna's perfectly safe besides, it's just a fact-finding mission. It's totally harmless." I nodded as I moved to sip from the glass but Damon took it from my hands taking a drink for himself.
"Just a fact-finding mission." He repeated.
"Yeah." He agreed and I looked up at him.
"Listen, no sneak attacks. No surprise plans. Nothing that's gonna put Jenna in harm's way." All the way Damon was shaking his head. "Ok?" he asked.
"Scout's honour." He did some sort of salute thing before patting Alaric's arm.
"Oh, Alaric? I forgot to tell you, Jenna needs help with the wine. It's all in the basement find the oldest bottle." I smirked as Damon let his head fall onto my shoulder. He nodded before leaving to go help her.
"Why the oldest?" he groaned and I turned to him.
"Um, because I want to get drunk tonight. I don't exactly want to be sober for the death of an original." I informed and he hummed.
"Drunk sex is always fun, because then we get to play the game- 'ooh, what did we do last night?'" he smirked and I rolled my eyes as I turned to him. He gave me a chaste kiss before moving over to a small oak chest a pulling out the dagger and ash.
"So when are we doing this?" I asked as he dipped the dagger in the ash.
"desert." He said happily and I moaned.
"But deserts the best!" I groaned out.
"Well, if you're good enough you can have two deserts." I hummed sitting on the table in front of him and pulling him into another kiss by the collar of his shirt.
"Or we could have desert right now?" I offered and he shook his head with a chuckle. "What happened to the Damon that would take me right here and now?" I asked huskily.
"Oh he's still here." He growled before tugging my panties from under my dress and I giggled into the kiss he had pulled me closer to himself. His index began to play at my clit and I moaned lightly in his mouth. "Here's the plan, you encourage the gentlemen to take their after dinner drinks in here while you do coffee in in the kitchen with Jenna." I rested my head to his shoulder as his fingers pumped me earnestly and I moaned.
"fuck." I breathed as he pulled me closer. "Is that no- not- a little to-too sexist?" I asked in a stammer before biting down on my bottom lip and drawing blood.
"Or you could just leave Jenna on her own completely." He suggested and I moved my hips in time with his fingers as I breathed heavily.
Before I could scream out as he hit my sweet spot he pulled me into a kiss as his fingers continued to work their magic. My legs wrapped around his waist as I came closer to orgasm.
"fuck." I breathed against his lips.
I scratched at his shoulders as body spasm before I released all over his fingers and I let out a breath as he removed his fingers from my dripping core. He licked my cum from one of his fingers before offering up his other to me and I sucked at it hungrily. I watched as his head disappeared under my skirt and I jolted as he licked the remaining cum from my slick folds. He gave a coy smirk before pulling me into a kiss and humming lightly.
Just as we pulled back the bell rang at the door and I chuckled lightly as he smiled kissing my neck.
"I should go change, or at least go put on some underwear." I mused moving from him as he put my torn underwear into his pocket and the dagger by the alcohol and following me out the room as his hand laced with my own.
"John! Surprise Leave." Damon commented as john waltzed through the door.
"When Jenna told me she was coming to a dinner party for Elijah, I decided I couldn't miss out on all the fun and games." He commented with a smile.
"There are not going to be any games tonight, John." Damon and I looked over to see Alaric had made an appearance. "It's just a friendly dinner party." He smiled politely.
"What he said." Damon added as Alaric left.
"I see you pair are back and-"
"Better than ever?" Damon asked smugly before I moved from his hold
"I'm gonna go change." I informed and he nodded before kissing me again.
As I came downstairs in some jeans and a nice top Damon smirked at me while john grimaced. (Outfit link on my profile!)
"You changed?" Jenna asked as the door bel rang.
"Fresh and clean." I smiled politely and Damon gave me a wink.
"I hate to break it to you, Damon, but according to Elijah, your family is so not a founder of this town." Jenna informed pouring the wine into Damon's glass.
"Hmm, do tell." He asked over to Elijah taking a sip of his wine.
"Well, as I mentioned to Jenna earlier, a faction of settlers migrated from Salem after the witch trials in the 1690s. Over the next hundred years they developed this community where they could feel safe from persecution." I gave and understanding look.
"Hmm. Because they were witches." Jenna shed light on.
"Of course there's no tangible proof there were witches in Salem. Rick back me up." I smiled and he nodded with a small smile back at me.
"Well, the lore says that there was this wave of anti-witch hysteria. It broke out in the neighbouring settlement, so these witches were rounded up. They were tied to stakes in a field together and, uh, burned. Some say you could hear the screams from miles around us. They were consumed by the fire. Could you pass the…"
"I wouldn't repeat this to the Historical Society." Jenna laughed slightly.
"It's starting to sound a little like a ghost story to Me." john commented.
"Well what's better than the inevitably unknown?" I asked with a smirk.
"So why do you want to know the location of these alleged massacres?" Damon asked over to Elijah who for a second seemed a little unsure on how to answer.
"You know a healthy historian's curiosity, of course." He reminded.
"Of course." Damon agreed and they both shared a small forced smile.
"Does anyone care for some cognac? I have a bottle I've been saving for ages." I smirked at Damon who shot me a wink as he rose from his chair.
"None for me thanks. Nine bottles of wine is my limit." Alaric joked before everyone stood.
"Why don't you gentlemen take your drinks in the study?" I asked politely with a seductive smile.
"I have to say the food was almost as wonderful as the company." Elijah smiled and I smiled back to him. I watched as Jenna turned down Alaric's offer of help before I got a call.
"Stefan- slow down- slow the fuck down!" I almost screamed. My eyes went wide before I beckoned for Alaric to follow me which he did as we both burst through the doors of the room Damon was to kill Elijah.
"Sorry, you know what? We forgot desert" I laughed and so did Alaric. "Don't want to forget desert, it's the best." I informed importantly.
"Elijah, why don't we?" Alaric asked politely before he followed him form the study.
Damon gave me a pissed look and I pointed to the stake behind him urgently but he just held his arms out in aggravation. My eyes clocked sight of a pen and paper before I quickly scrawled on it. As he came to my side he took it from me and scanned it with his precious blue eyes before sighing and planting a hard kiss on my head.
We both made our way back to the table while Jenna went to go get desert.
"He, rick. I left my drink in the study, would you mind-"
"Not at all." He smiled to me and I smiled back. I shot him a quick text of what was going on while Damon pissed on john a little more.
-use dagger on Elijah. Damon die if uses it. - Jessie.
I watched as he looked down at his phone and he shot me a quick nod.
"Of course, she hates him, so there's absolutely no need to keep him on the endangered species list." Damon commented smugly and I moved up one seat closer to him.
"What I'd like to know, Elijah, is how you intend on killing Klaus?" john asked.
"Gentlemen, there's a few things we should probably get clear right now. I allow you to live solely to keep an eye on Jessie." He pointed his fork to Damon. "I allow Elena to remain in her house living her life with her friends as she does as a courtesy. If you become a liability, I'll take her away from you and you'll never see her again." I stiffened.
"What I'd like to know is why I'm so-"I smirked as Damon and john jumped from their chairs in shock from Elijah's deafening scream.
Alaric placed the dagger on the table in front of Damon "Now, get rid of him before Jenna comes back with dessert." He ordered and Damon was just all too shocked to give any type of emotion.
"All right." he nodded before he and Alaric moved the original down to the basement.
Damon's POV:
"Now, you said there wasn't going to be any violence." I smirked over to rick as we dropped the original on the dusty floor.
"Says the guy that did all the killing." I reasoned. Before I could leave Alaric pulled me back by my arm.
"Hey, I took the shot because I saw an opening, not because I planned to do this with Jenna in the house. It was Jessie's idea. Now, you can't lie to me like that." he pulled me back by my arm and I was unfazed by it. "Hey, I am your friend, damn it. And you don't have any friends. So, no more lying." He ordered and I nodded.
"How very sneaky of you." I commented as I pulled Jessie into a kiss. God I've missed this.
"Oh, so you didn't realise me on my phone for two seconds? You did see Alaric look at his phone for two seconds?" she yelled/whispered. "You're welcome by the way." She sighed and I kissed her jaw.
"Thank you." She smiled sweetly until my phone rang.
Jessie's POV:
As I listened to Stefan's conversation with Damon my stomach plummeted before I ran back down to the basement with Damon on tow.
"Shit" I spat.
Third person POV:
As Elijah made his way into the home of Jonas he was greeted with the sight of the man with a frown at his presence.
"What happened?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.
"I need you to find Elena, and start the spell. Now" he ordered.
As Elijah stood outside the lake house Elena came into view.
"They shouldn't have done what they did. Jessie was wrong." She agreed.
"The deal is off." Elijah announced simply.
"I'm renegotiating."
"You have nothing left to negotiate with."
"I'd like to see you lure Klaus into Mystic Falls after the doppelganger bleeds to death." She threatened as she brought a knife from behind her back.
"Stefan won't let you die."
"No, he won't. He'll feed me his blood to heal me, and then I'll kill myself and become a vampire, just like Catherine did. So unless you want that to happen again, promise me the same as before promise me you won't harm anyone that I love. Even if they've harmed you." She negotiated once again but it was no use,
"I'm sorry, Elena. I'm going to have to call your bluff." She hesitantly brought the knife to her stomach before it plummeted through the flesh and cartilage of her torso with a groan. Elijah helplessly sped to the entrance of the home but was unable to enter due to the circumstances.
"Yes. Yes, you can have your deal. Let me heal you." He begged out with no choice.
"Give me your word!" she ordered.
"I give you my word." He agreed before she fell into his arms although within seconds the dagger was plummeted into his heart, allowing the greyness to for over his skin and the veins to crawl across his face.
"Little tip, don't pull the dagger out." Damon commented after Stefan had fed Elena his blood.
"What do we have here? A little moonstone bar of soap. I'll hold on to this." Damon announced before standing at Jessie's side.
"So, that's it. I mean, as long as we keep the dagger in there, then he stays dead." Elena asked.
"Pretty much." Damon concluded.
"Ok, then Good night. You know, you guys want me to fight, fine, I'll fight. But if we're gonna do this, you can't keep anything from me anymore. Especially you, you're my sister." Guilt spread over jess face as she leaned her head on Damon's chest. "From this moment on, we're doing it my way." She ordered.
"That seems fair." Damon agreed and Elena gave a glare to Stefan and jess who also reluctantly agreed before she left.
"Seems like she's had a change of attitude. How did you get through to her?" Damon asked.
"Please, prey tell." Jess added.
"I told her a little story about when I was making the wrong decisions and somebody showed me there was a better way." He informed.
"Lexi?" he asked and Jessie's attitude perked up with a smile.
"Yeah. You remember her?" Stefan asked and jess sighed as he left.
"I'm going to bed." Jess informed before moving to the parlour to grab a drink.
"Jess, I thought you were in bed?" Damon asked as he moved into the bathroom.
"No I went to get a drink. You in the shower?" she questioned now in the bedroom as Damon stood in utter confusion, his smile faltering as Katharine stood naked in the shower as she turned to face him.
"Damon?" she asked again coming to join him in the bathroom and Kathrine turned. In a flash jess' hand was covering his eyes.
"Oh, hell no." Jessie groaned.
"Hello, jess. Hey, do you have a robe?" she asked innocently.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" she growled lightly as Damon turned his whole body from her and to jess.
"How did you get out?" he spat.
"I knew that if I begged you not to kill Elijah, that's exactly what you'd do. Little known fact Originals can compel vampires. But as soon as they die, the compulsion wears off." She smirked and jess sighed.
"And you knew?" Damon clicked on with a pissed look.
"And I'm still here. I didn't run. I meant what I said to him, Damon. I'm going to help you with your little girlfriend. So How about that robe Jessika?" she smirked and jess walked Damon into the bedroom before grabbing her blood red kimono and throwing it at Kathrine before closing the door on her.
"Well isn't this perfect?" jess sighed collapsing on the bed and Damon did the same.
"If she didn't look like your sister-"
"Don't even finish that sentence." She ordered and he chuckled pulling her closer and nuzzling into her neck.
"We missed desert." Jess smirked as she straddled Damon's waist. "And you owe me for saving your ass from the dagger." Damon smirked widely as she pulled his lips to her own in a heated kiss.
"Ohh, steamy." Kathrine smirked and jess sighed. Sitting upright with a leg either side of Damon's waist. In a second Damon had Kathrine pinned to the wall.
"Get out Kathrine, leave. You have no business here." He growled before pushing himself off her and moving away from her as she pouted.
"bore." She sighed before taking her leave. Damon threw his fist into the wall and jess jumped from the bed.
"Damon." She scolded walking over to him and looking back and forth between the dismantled brick and his bloody hand that he'd begun to heal.
"sorry." he sighed and she nodded.
"It's ok. Come on." She pulled him into the bathroom where she washed his hands free of the dried blood. Kathrine really pissed you off Hu?" she asked with a smirk.
"Well she took your kimono. I loved that. All the lace, the colour, how it rode up whenever you bent down." She chuckle shaking his head.
"Hey, you know, I'm just gonna go see if Jenna's ok after tonight. John really got to her." Damon nodded before kissing her and letting her go.
As Jonas muttered some spell in front of Jessie as she stepped outside she groaned before clutching her chest. The crimson blood began to spew from her mouth before cuts and bruises started to form along her body.
"We had a deal." He growled. "I can't kill you but I can sure as hell make you suffer." He spat before flicking his wrist earning for her neck to snap to the side, the darkness shadowing her mind. "You know what to do." jonas ordered over to Elixa who stood in the darkness.
"I was told I wasn't to be used in the sacrifice." she spat at him.
"And i promised to keep my word, along with Elijah." she nodded before speeding off.
So that's another chapter over, and Eliza's back! what do you think of that? Please review! I used to get so many now I only get 2 per chapter :( so please review for me to keep the chapters coming.
