Chapter 5: Knowing by ASHDU4
After explaining to Luca and his father where they could most likely find Elijah's body the two girls decided to enjoy their time free of compulsion and go spend the day in town.
Annie and Beth decided to start their day off by strolling through town to reminisce about how much things have changed since they were last in Mystic Falls so many years ago. As far as they could tell aside from the modern buildings nothing has really changed, even the people still seemed the same as they had always been meaning nice but paranoid. Whether it was because of the latest vampire infestation or the superstitious legends of past vampire infestations or as they used to be called "demons of the night" neither girl could tell you.
As the day neared its end Annie and Beth went back to the lonely house to change into better outfits for a night on the town.
Apparently a "night on the town" in Mystic Falls means a night at the local hangout called the Mystic Grill. The girls were continuously given strange looks by the people walking by their table; they figured it was because they were new to town although it probably had more to do with the amount of strong alcohol at their table and the fact that neither of them showed their I.D. or has paid any of the bartenders since they walked in the Grill.
"Hello ladies didn't expect to see you two out in public." the girls looked up to see Damon and Elena standing above them.
"And why is that Mr. Salvatore?" Annie asked with a thick British accent that Beth hadn't heard her talk with in years.
Damon made himself comfortable in the bench across the table from them beckoning Elena to do the same which she quickly did.
"Well I just figured that since Luca is now… well let's just say out of commission that you two would have gone into hiding by now" he smirked at the two girls as Elena told him not to rub it in and to stop being rude.
Both Annie and Beth were shocked by the news Damon proceeded to tell them. Luca and his father were their best hope of getting back Elijah and now there was no way he would willingly help them and using force on someone Elijah had specifically compelled them not to hurt could have seriously bad side-effects.
As the girls got up to leave Annie walked up to Elena so there was mere inches between them then glanced to Damon before saying
"You know for someone who is soooo in 'love' with Stefan you spend an awful lot of time with his clearly very attractive brother. That says a lot about your character you know."
Beth and Annie laughed at Annie's little speech and Elena's shocked facial expression as they walked out of the Grill and headed home for the night to make a new plan for rescuing Elijah.
