Once they arrive inside the boarding house Enzo slams Damon up against the wall with his hand around his neck... kinda hot, actually.
"Explain." Enzo demands with crazed look in his eyes.
"This seems like a "vampires only" kinda thing. So, I'm just gonna-" Enzo interrupts Elena as she slowing backs away towards the door.
"No. We had a deal. You stay." She sighs and nods in conformation.
"How did you know I was alive?"
"That was me, actually." Elena raises her hand.
"How?" Enzo asks confused.
"I know the future." She says simply and he laughs.
"What?" He asks noticing her serious face.
"Yeah, I can see the future. I've been planning to rescue you for the past 17 years. I just had to wait for these guys to come to town." She says pointing to the brothers.
"Why? You don't even know me." Enzo says.
"That's true, but you didn't deserve to trapped there. And you would have been released in two years anyway. I just sped up the timeline." She shrugs.
"How would I have been released?"
"Uh, it's kinda a long story. Why don't we sit." Elena gestures to the couch.
"I'm sitting, explain." Enzo demands.
"Alright. Had I not interfered, you would have escaped, then killed a girl, then got recaptured, then Wesley would have released you to stall Steffy and Dames, to ensure you would come back he would have infected you with some kind of poison that only he can cure. You would've started to succumb to the poison and Damon would have saved you." She takes a deep breath.
"What did we have to do with it?" Stefan asks.
"Oh, right. The girl he killed was me and Caroline's roommate. We investigated her disappearance and it led us to Augustine. I got captured by Wes and you guys were trying to save me." Elena tells them.
"Why would Wes want you?" Damon asks.
"Because I was a vampire." She says while the Salvatores jaws drop.
"Did I not tell you that? Care was one too." She says simply.
"Woah. Who turned yo-" Enzo interrupts Stefan.
"Can we get back to discussing me now?" Enzo asks both annoyed and angry.
"Yes. Damon, I think it's time to tell him." Elena says as Damon sighs.
"You sure you want to be here for this, El?" Stefan asks with concern.
"Yeah, I think they might both need someone." She says honestly.
"You need to understand something, Enzo. I didn't know and my emotions were turned off. If I knew it was her I would never have done it." Damon says pleading with Enzo to understand.
"What did you do, Damon?" Enzo asks stiffly.
"I killed Maggie. Your Maggie." Damon says quietly.
"When?" He ask eerily calm.
"November, 1960. I didn't know, Enzo. She was asking questions about the fire and I thought she was with Augustine. I never would have-" Enzo interrupts.
"You never would have what? Killed her? Left me?" He says standing up.
"Enzo, I didn't-" Enzo interrupts Damon.
"You killed the love of my life, the one thing that gave me any semblance of hope. The only person who's ever truly cared for me? And your excuse is that you didn't know?" Enzo yells speeding towards Stefan, smashing his hand through his chest.
"Perhaps I'll take away something you love. Then we'll be even. Don't you think?" He ask never taking his eyes off of Stefan.
"Enzo, please don't do this." Damon begs walking slowing towards them.
"Damon, I love you. But, please shut up." Elena says quietly stepping closer towards Stefan.
"Enzo. Enzo, look at me." She says sternly trying to make eye contact.
"Look, I'm not great with the emotions of people I don't know. But, I'm no stranger to loss." She says as he looks to her with pain in his eyes.
"A few months ago my family was in a car accident. Me and my brother survived, but our parents died. We survived because, the man whose chest you have your hand through, pulled us from the car before it caught fire. So I'm asking you, as a person who knows exactly what it's like to lose someone you love, please don't hurt him." She pleads placing her hand on his wrist.
Enzo retracts his hand from Stefan's chest cavity and turns to Damon.
"I'm sure he's not the only person you love." He says nonchalantly and smirks.
"Me and Enzo made a deal. I gotta go talk to a witch. Stef, come with me, you need some bambi blood. You two, please don't kill each other. And don't turn your emotions off Enzo" she adds and he looks at her with wide eyes.
"Yeah, I know everything. Just ask Ocean Eyes." Elena says grabbing Stefan's hand and walking out of the house.
After Elena and Stefan exit the boarding house, Damon opens his mouth to speak, only for Enzo to hold up a hand.
"No, you dont get to talk. I'm gonna get my ring, then I'm gonna leave." He says walking out of the room only to realize he has know idea around the house.
Walking back to Elena's SUV after hunting, Stefan comes upon the girl who quickly became his best friend, singing and playing the air drums to AC/DC.
"Back in black
I hit the sack
I've been too long I'm glad to be back
Yes, I'm let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I've been looking at the sky
'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild"
she sings/screams switching to air guitar.
"She really is a terrible singer." Stefan thinks with a fond smile slamming his hands on the car, making her jump.
'"Ahh, oh no! Vampire!" She fake faints making him laugh as he gets in the car.
"Wow, you're such a messy eater." Elena says licking her thumb and wiping his face.
"How's your chest?" She asks lifting his shirt and smirking.
"Fine." He says.
"Mmm. Yes, you are." She says making him laugh and blush.
"Where to?" He ask as she puts her seat belt on.
"Bonnie's grams, then lunch with my Care Bear." Elena says as he nods.
"Or motel, your choice." She flirts and he rolls his eyes.
"So, earlier with Enzo, you know the whole, knowing what it's like to lose someone you love." She shrugs.
"What about it?" She looks to him curious.
"Did you mean it? Do you love me?" He asks feeling vulnerable.
"I thought it was obvious. Of course I do. I shared my milkshake." She says simply making him smile and say.
"Right. Milkshake."
"So?" Caroline asks Elena who just looks back at her confused.
"So? What?" She asks eat a fry off of Stefan's plate.
"Is he hot?" Caroline asks while both Stefan and Elena look at her confused.
"Ugh! Enzo." She exclaims throwing her hand up.
"Oh! Undoubtebly. He's tall, dark, and British." Elena supplies licking her lips.
"Yum. I love British accents." Care says making Elena laugh.
"Oh, I'm very aware." she says smirking thinkg of Care's romp in the woods.
"What's that face for? That's your "I know something you don't know" face." Care says as Stefan nods.
"I have no idea what your talking about." Elena slurps the milkshake Stefan ordered and slid over to her.
A few hours after Elena left Damon searches the house for Enzo and finds him in the kitchen.
"Enzo, you gotta listen to me-" Enzo interrupts Damon.
"See, that's where you're wrong, Damon. I don't "gotta" do anything. I'm free." He turns and faces Damon.
"You see, my original plan, should I have ever escaped, was to track down Maggie and see the life she made for herself. Hopefully with a couple kids and maybe grandkids and a husband who worshipped her, but you've made that obsolete, haven't you? Then I was gonna find you and make you pay for your betrayal, but ultimately forgive you, because I understood that you needed to get out of there, by any means necessary. But once again, you ruined it."
Enzo walks past Damon, out of the kitchen and towards the parlor, taking a seat on the ancient couch.
"I didn't do it to hurt you, Enzo." Damon says as he falls into the matching chair.
"I had my emotions turned off." He groans dramatically.
"What about now?" Enzo ask in a non threatening tone for the first time since he arrived.
"They're... teetering." Damon struggles to get out.
"I'd have nothing to do with my beautiful little savior. Would it?" Enzo smirks as Damon shakes his head.
"It's not what you think." He denies.
"What I think is that you're in love with your girl, the one who turned you." Damon cuts him off.
"I am." He says sternly.
"So why are you running around and looking at this girl like she's the second coming." He asks teasingly.
"It's not like that. She's just my... Ellie." Damon slumps farther into the chair.
"She also seems to be your brother's, Ellie." Enzo taunts as Damon snorts and shakes his head.
"Now it's really not what you think." He says and Enzo raises a brow.
"She's just... special. Like, she makes you feel all... happy or, uh... accepted? It's weird. You know, she's threatened to kill me on multiple occasions, and the crazy thing is I actually believe she'll do it. And she's just so random. She once tricked me into going to some party with her and Stefan because she wanted to dance. But then I find out that she only invited us to get us to bond and make up or something. Why she cares, I have no clue. But she does. She just... special. " Damon rambles and Enzo snickers.
"Not in love with her, right?" He says as Damon rolls his eyes and smiles.
"Honey, I'm home!" They hear as Elena and Stefan walk through the front door.
"Oh, my apologies, Honies. You two look cozy." She wiggles her finger between them, then her eyes go wide.
"Oh, my god. You two were making up weren't you. Oh, damn it. I ruined it. Me and Stef are just gonna go back outside. Continue." She rushes out turning around and pulling Stefan with her.
"Ellie, stop." Damon laughs.
"Fine, I talked to my hook up. She'll have the ring dropped off in a little bit." Elena says walking over to the couch and flopping down.
"She's not a coke dealer in the 90's Ellie, she's college professor." Damon laughs as she stretches out with her legs over Enzo's lap.
She just smiles at him as Stefan walks into the room and leans on the arm rest next to her.
"Huh. You know I once had a dream that started just like this." She teases looking around at the vampires.
"Do share." Damon smirks and she laughs.
"Maybe some other time. I've been awake well over 24 hours and need a nap. But if you wanted to give me sexy dreams starring yourself, I wouldn't complain, Ocean Eyes." She flirts sitting up, titling her head and looking him up and down as Stefan laughs.
"Come on, El. Get some sleep in my bed. I'll wake you when Bonnie gets here." Stefan says looking down at here with a soft smile.
"Only if you carry me. And join me." She says and he raises a brow with a smirk.
"Get your mind out of the gutter, Salvatore. You're still not fully healed. You need rest too." She finishes spinning her finger, motioning for him to turn around.
"Watch the couch." Damon halfheartedly yells when she stand up on the couch and jumps on Stefan's back.
"Sorry, my bad. I forgot it's almost as old as you." Elena fake apologizes and smiles at him.
"Goodnight, Enzo. Onward!" Elena yells with a laugh as Stefan runs up the stairs.
