When he hears a knock at the door Damon speeds over and answers it, revealing the beautiful Bennet.
"Glenda." He greets teasingly.
"Drac." She replies equally friendly as he laughs rolling his eyes.
"Wait here, I'll go wake the kids." He says then stops turning back to her.
"I'd be careful, there's a pissed off vampire around here." He says looking around.
"Other than you?" She jokes as he runs up the stairs.
Walking into Stefan's room without knocking Damon comes face to face with the adorable sight of his baby brother cuddled into his Ellie's neck, with her legs wrapped around him like a panda to bamboo.
So of course, he ruins it.
"Wake up!" He shout and Stefan sits up wide eyed with Elena still around him.
"Ooh, is the sexy dream starting?" Elena mumble looking up at Damon.
"No, sorry. Sabrina the Teenage Witch is downstairs. Might want to go save her from Enzo." He says as she jumps up and runs downstairs in Stefan's shirt and a long pair of socks.
Enzo is about to introduce himself to the witch when Elena comes barreling towards them.
"Bon Bon! I've missed you." She says into Bonnie's hair after pulling her into a tight hug.
"I missed you too, sweetie. But, we did see each other yesterday." She says amused as Elena pulls away.
"I know, I'm just sleep deprived. Feels a little like I'm high. It's great." Bonnie laughs and turns back to Enzo.
"Oh right, Bon this is Enzo the recently rescued and Enzo this is Bonnie Bennet, mega powerful witch with beautiful eyes." Elena introduces them, Bonnie smiles at the compliment.
"It's a pleasure, love." Enzo says as Bonnie nods and shakes his hand.
"Same." She replies and turns towards Elena, handing her a small pouch.
"One daylight ring, courtesy of grams." She says and Elena jumps and down.
"Thank you, Honey bee. My love for you is unparalleled." She says bringing her into another hug.
"Hmm hm. You know, I've heard you say that to both Caroline and Tyler before." Bonnie teases.
"Yes, but I only mean with you." Elena assures in a husky tone, making Bonnie laugh.
"Sure you do. I love you, Ellie." Bonnie says turning around and opening the front door.
Dropping her playfully sultry tone Elena giggles and yells,
"Awe! I love you too, honey!"
Elena turns back to Enzo and grabs his left hand.
"With this ring, do you, Lorenzo st. John take me, Sexy Doppelganger to be your new, weird friend." She ask and he laughs.
"I do." He tries to keep a straight face as she slides the ring on his ring finger.
"I now pronounce you, a day walker." She laughs as he brings her into a hug
"Thank you, Ellie." He says sincerely and she smiles.
"We had a deal. Now, what do you want to do?" She asks curious whether he's going to leave or not.
"I don't know if I want to stay here, but I dont exactly have anywhere to go."
"I have a friend. I called him earlier to see if he'd be willing to let you crash at his place for a while. He said sure. If you really don't want to be here I'll give you ride." Elena tells him.
"That's really nice, Ellie. But I don't want to put anyone out." He says.
"You're not. Slater's really cool and totally obsessed with me." He raise a brow confused.
"Let's just say, my existence has supernatural significance. He's a total nerd. Slater's spent his immortality, learning. More specifically, learning about vampire history. He'll probably want to know all about Augustine. But only if you want to tell him." She adds noticing the hesitant look on his face.
"Yeah, okay. But only for a little while." He responds and she smiles.
"Okay, let me go get my stuff and say bye to the boys." Elena runs up the stairs as Damon walks into the room.
"You don't have to do this, Enzo." Damon says with an exasperated sigh.
"What should I do, Damon? Stay here? Help you open the tomb so I can watch you live happily ever after with your love, knowing you killed mine? Let me be clear, the only reason your brother isn't dead is because I like Ellie a little more than I hate you." Enzo says then walks out the front door waiting for Elena.
"Are you sure you're okay to drive? You barely got any sleep. Why don't I drive? Better yet, why don't you just stay here and I'll take him." Stefan fuses over Elena as she puts her clothes back on.
"I'll be fine, mom. I've hit that 30 hour mark where I feel completely energized." Elena assures him.
"That's terrible idea. You could fall asleep at the wheel and die or Enzo could attack you and die or that Slater guy could attack you and-" Elena cuts him off with a teasing smile.
"Die? I'll be fine. Enzo's a good guy and Slater's way too lame to kill me. I promise to get a coffee and call you on the way back." She says placing her hands on his shoulders.
"No! Do not call me while driving." He stresses.
She laughs and kisses him on the cheek walking out of the room and down the stairs.
"Uh oh, are you gonna go all mother hen on me too?" Elena ask holding her hands up when Damon does a once over with his eyes.
"No. Well, not nearly as dramatic. Just please be careful and call me when you get there. And... never mind." He says turning around.
"I will. And I'll talk to Enzo. I promised he would forgive you, and he will. He just need time and fortunately, you have it in spades." She says turning him around and hugging him.
"I gotta go. Take care of Stefan for me." Elena says walking out of the door.
"Sorry I took so long. You ready?" Elena asks Enzo and he nods.
"Don't be. Stefan seems to really care for you." He says, very clearly imply something.
"Yeah. Me and Stef have gotten really close since they showed up." She says shrugging walking with him to her car.
"Damon also cares for you."
"Enzo, you're about as good at being subtle as I am at being unattractive. Out with it." Elena says with a raised brow.
"Are you in a relationship with Stefan?" He asks as she starts the car.
Elena laughs and looks over to him.
"No. I don't do that. I love the guy but only as a friend, friend I want to bone, but a friend." She says smiling at his confused face.
"Bone?" He asks
"Pounding it out? Making the beast with two backs? Hiding the bishop? Doing the nasty? Sex, Enzo. Sex." She laughs and he looks away.
"Right. Well if you want to "bone" him why aren't you in a relationship?" He asks amusing Elena with his use of bone.
"Because I also want to bone Damon and inability to feel romantic attraction plus hots for brother equals shitty relationship." She says driving out of the Salvatore's driveway.
"Makes sense, I guess. So how far away is you friend?" Enzo asks changing the subject.
"About two hours, but we have to stop at Target to get you some essentials."
"Target?" Enzo asks confused again.
"Heaven on earth. It has food, clothes, makeup, popcorn. They have popcorn, Enzo. It amazing."
"I believe you." He says amused.
"You're right. That was wonderful." Enzo says as they get back in the car after their trip to his new favorite place.
"I told you. Target is heaven on earth." Elena says handing him his icee and bag of popcorn.
"This is the place." Elena says as she pull up to Slater's apartment building.
"Before we go in do you want to go grab a bite while I call Damon? I'm sure Slater's gonna bombard you with questions so, this might be your only chance to get something fresh."
"Alright, I'll be right back." Enzo nods getting out of the care as Elena rolls down the window and yells.
"Remember, snatch, eat, erase!" She teases as he rolls his eyes with a smile.
"Damon Salvatore, how can I please you?" Damon flirts as soon as he answers the phone.
"Careful, Ocean Eyes. Thay voice is really getting me going." She teases.
"How was it? Oh, and I can't find my wallet, I'm sure that has nothing to do with you right?" Damon asks already knowing the answer.
"I have know idea what you're talking about, that good bye hug was completely innocent. And as for how is was, I did something bad." She says with a grimace.
"Yeah, you stole my wallet. Evil little pickpocket. I should have known when you caressed my ass." Damom mutters as Elena starts laughing uncontrollably.
"Why are you laughing like that? What did you do?" He ask as she continues her manic laughter.
"It's really bad, Day." She days calming a bit.
"Ellie, what did you do?" He asks.
"I may told Enzo that... Limp Bizkit is considered the greatest band of all time." Elena confesses.
"No you did not." Damon states incredulously.
"I did. I'm so sorry, it was right there. He ask what that song was and the words came out before I could stop then. You should have see his face, Ocean Eyes. I think he considered flipping the switch." Elena says throwing herself into another fit of laugher as Damon loses it.
"That might be worse then what I did to him" Damon says through a laugh
"I know. I bet it's gonna turn out terribly. I can't wait. Anyway, Enzo's back from feeding, I'm gonna take him up to Slater. Tell Stef I'll call him in little bit." She says
Damon's says okay and hangs up as Enzo approaches the car confused.
"Why do you have tears on your face?" He ask and Elena starts laughing again.
"Alright, that's the last of his stuff. Thank you for doing this Slater. I know you don't owe me anything." Elena says setting down the bags of Enzo's stuff.
"You kidding me? You gave ability to walk in the sun, I owe you for the rest my life." He says making Elena smile at him.
"You know, truthfully I'm still kind of shocked you're actually the doppelganger." He says looking her over.
"You couldn't handle it." She says simply as he blushes a deep red and stutters.
"What? No. I, uh. Wasn't."
"I'm messing with you." Elena says walking over to Enzo who's checking out the place.
"Nice right? Most vampires are living the good life." Elena says and Enzo laughs.
"After being in that cell, I'd take anything. But this is great." He finishes looking at her.
"Hey, I bought you this. It's kinda shitting though. It's all they had." She says handing him a package.
"Thank you, El. What is it?" He asks confused.
"Oh, right. Duh. It's a cell phone."
"Ah, yes. The doctors often spoke on these." He says reading the box.
"Speaking of, I almost forgot. I had Damon compel the doctor to forget what happened, but he will most certainly notice his missing captive." She says with a raised brow hoping he gets message.
"Why didn't you kill him?" He asks confused.
"Consider it a gift from me to you. If your talking suggestions, I'd recommend tying him up, bleeding him of vervain, then compelling him to run like the cops are after him. He'll be so paranoid you won't have to do anything. Or just you know, murder him. Dealer's choice." She shrugs making him laugh.
"I'll take it into consideration." He says
"Anyway, I thought you could call me. Update me on your life or whatever. The more gruesome the details the better. Slater has my number. I'll have him put me on speed dial." She says turning to Slater who nods and leaves the room.
"Just press this button and I'll answer." She says pointing to the keypad.
"Why are you doing this, Elena?" He asks and she glares at him.
"Ellie." He corrects with a smile.
"The phone? It's really no big deal. I stole Damon's wallet." She says patting her pocket.
"No. Not the phone or just the phone. Why are you helping me? From what you've told me we weren't close." He says as she laughs.
"I don't know. You're life has been one tragedy after another but you've stayed yourself through it all." She shrugs.
"I'm not as good as you think, Ellie." He shakes his head.
"I know that. But I don't really believe in good or bad. You could be a monster Enzo. You could hate everyone and everything and take your anger out on the world but you never have. And you never gave up. You're a survivor Lorenzo st. John. And I... admire you." She tells him honestly.
"Can I ask you for a favor?"
"Anything, my beautiful savior." He teases as she rolls her eyes.
"Forgive Damon."
"Not that." He say instantly.
"Here me out. Not for him. okay? For you. You need him. Not today or tomorrow, but, forgive him eventually." She says.
"I can't promise you anything, but I'll think about it. For you." He adds.
"That's all I'm asking. Well, I'm gonna head out. Unlike you I have school on Monday and a severely messed up sleep schedule." She says and he grabs her hand.
"Thank you, Ellie. For everything. I'll call you as soon as Slater teaches me to use this thing." He says lifting the phone in his hand.
"Anything for you, Zoey." She says
"Dont call me Zoey." He says shaking his head.
"Okay. Lori it is." She adds making him laugh.
"See you around, Enzo." She says walking out of the room.
"Special." He mutters with a smile.
