When Beauty Fades
Chapter 8
Elena taped her foot impatiently as she waited for the Salvatore's to answer their front door. She knew she was trying to destroy their marriage, but she hated waited while they were having one of their fights. Finally Rebekah opened the door and narrowed her eyes at Elena. Elena smiled at Rebekah as she stepped into the house. The house that she was determined to destroy with the family she was intending to destroy. And she couldn't wait to stop pretending, but she had to be patient or else this would never work and the plan and sex would have been for nothing. Which she couldn't let happen not after all the work she had put into this. She wouldn't.
Elena spotted Damon rolling his suit case with an anxious Holly in his arms. It seemed as if she was a bit fussy today, but it wasn't something Elena couldn't take care of. She made her way to Damon and held out her arms. Damon placed Holly into them and looked at Elena. She knew what he wanted, but for once she was glad that Rebekah was there so she didn't have to give it to him. After all there was only so much sex a person could take and Damon had been rather persistent about it as of late. Which meant she was doing her job pretty well.
After Damon and Rebekah left, Elena went to the kitchen to give Holly a bottle. It amazed her everyday how much Holly looked more and more like Rebekah, but not a lot like Damon. She sighed and went to the fridge to grab Holly a bottle. It still wasn't time for her nap and Elena couldn't do any snooping until she was taken care of.
It took Elena about three hours to put a fussy Holly down for a nap, but after she was all snuggled in Elena set forth on her mission to ruin Rebekah and Damon's perfect marriage. She just needed the right story to feed the tabloids. Than their reputation would go up in smoke after Elena really got through with them. This was only the beginning steps of destroying them and she couldn't wait for more.
She closed the door to Holly's room and pondered where to search first. She decided to check the security cameras to see if she couldn't get more information. She grabbed one of them and carefully attached one to the television. The tape had started from yesterday afternoon and she saw Rebekah looking frantic. She wondered what that was about.
She stopped the tape and pressed play to listen in.
"You can't do this to me!" she said looking around.
She waxs probably making sure that Damon wasn't around.
"You know what Damon will do when he finds out. Do you really think our daughter deserves this?"
Elena's ears perked up. Did she just understand that correctly. She rewinded the tape and reheard the conversation. Holy Shit. This was bigger than any other secret she had hoped to uncover. But she had to have more proof.
She paused the tape and made her way to where she knew Rebekah kept her files. If she was right about this assumption this would tear Rebekah and Damon apart. It would be the biggest scandal. She smiled as she rummaged through the files and found what she was looking for.
First she found Holly's birth certificate. She frowned slightly when she saw that Damon's name was on it, but that didn't really mean a thing when you were trying to decieve someone. She had to dig deeper. She had to think of a place Rebekah would hide such information wihtout Damon knowing about it.
She thought about this long and hard until she had an idea. She always rebemebered Rebekah telling her not to go near something in Holly's room. Elena never understood at first but she did now. She walked to the baby's room careful not to wake her up as she opened the drawers that held Holly's emergency medical supplies in case she was ever sick.
Elena dug into the bottom of the poile until hjer hand hit something that didn't look as if it belong there. Elena lifted up the small jewelery box and inspected it closely. The intials R.M were carved into it as Elena sat on the floor. She was so close that she could taste it. Just a couple more inches and she would have what she needed to take them both down.
She lifted the lid and looked at the dancing ballerina as she looked into the box. Nothing. How could there be nothing. Elena looked at the box and without thinking she threw it to the ground shattering it everywhere. That's when she saw a tiny envolope at the corner of her eye from Mystic Falls Mediacal Clinic.
Elena smiled and pickjed up the envolope as a loud piercing scream drew her attention.n Dammit she must have woke Holly. She shoved the envolope in her pocket and went to the baby picking her up. The baby snuggled in her arms as Elena got the envolope out of her pocket and tore it open.
The baby looked at it with interest as Elena got the paper out and opened it.
"Alright baby let's see what your mama is hiding."
