It Runs in the Family
Chapter 4
"Stefan?" Damon exhaled his breath coming out in shallow gasp.
"What's wrong brother? You look as if you just saw a ghost. Forgive him Elena, my brother is known to have some very dreadful etiquette. Why don't you introduce yourself Damon? I bet Elena has just been dying to meet you."
"Can I talk to you alone for a second?" he said ignoring his brother's baiting and grabbing him by the arm to pull him away.
"Whatever you need brother. Caroline, could you be a dear and keep Elena company until we come back?"
"Of course, so Elena what brings you to Mystic Falls? Caroline asked as Damon took Stefan away before he could hear her answer. It's not like he didn't know the answer to why she was here. It was his fault after all.
"What the hell is your problem?" Damon asked slamming Stefan into the locker out of anger.
"What the hell is my problem? What the hell is yours? How long were you planning on keeping the secret that you kept one of your victims alive? How fucking stupid can you be Damon. You left evidence behind and you know we couldn't afford to be sloppy."
"Listen when we were at that house, I didn't know what came over me. Usually I can get through our sprees easily, but this time, with her, I couldn't. I don't know why, and I don't know how. All I knew at that moment was that I wanted her to live. Is that so terrible?"
"You can't be serious. In what scenario is you letting our victim won a good thing? What if she remembers your face? What if she knows your scent or your voice? Did you even think this through before you let the one chance of bringing our family down live? No. I don't think you did and because of that you need to take care of it before it becomes a problem."
"How do you expect me to take care of it?"
"Get a feel for her. Find out what she knows and worse comes to worse if she does remember who you are. Do what you should have done the first time and kill her."
"Fine. Now come on let's get back to Caroline and Elena before they notice something is amiss."
Damon nodded not willing to argue as they walked over to where Caroline and Elena had been, but when they got there something was terribly wrong.
"Where's Elena?" Damon asked looking around for her, but she was no where in sight.
"She had to get to class, but she told me to tell you two goodbye for her. Why are you guys looking at me like that? What's wrong?"
Fuck. was all he could think when Caroline had told him that. He was so screwed.
