OK everyone Here is chapter 6 I had a difficult time writing this one so sorry if it is a bit all over the place, it's mostly a filler until the next chapter but I wanted to say that this LAKE HOUSE that they are at is not the one that you see Elena and Stefan having a retreat at, this isn't her parents house it is her uncle/father John Gilbert's house. Just creating as I go... You know like writers do.
Anyways without boring you all any further...
CHAPTER 6
The next day Elena awoke alone in the master bedroom, she had the solid night of sleep she could ever remember. As she sat up she noticed a rose sitting on the pillow with a note beneath it.
Elena,
Good morning angel, I did attempt to wake you but you sleep like a rock. I have headed into town to get us some supplies. There is coffee and bagels already in the kitchen for you.
See you soon and please stay inside until I return.
Damon
She smelled the freshly picked rose and allowed the soft petals to tickle her nose as she inhaled. Smiling happily at the note he left her she headed downstairs to get her coffee. She sliced a bagel and put it into the toaster then poured a mug full of coffee and added her two sugar to her cup. Finally able to sit down she enjoyed her breakfast and then adventured through the old cabin looking at all the rooms she hadn't seen since she was little.
She ventured through all the rooms on the main level looking through the stacks of old VCR recorded movies, picking out some of her favorite childhood movies The Lion King, Finding Nemo, Camelot and Jeremy's favorite The Mighty Morphing Power Rangers she headed back out into the living room and stacked the movies onto the coffee table before re-adventuring through the house into the upper level bedrooms.
She came to the end of the long upper hallway to what used to be her bedroom here. Slowly she entered the room; it was exactly as it was when she was last here right down to the Disney Princess sheet set. She remembered the loose floor board under the bottom right leg of the bed and pushed the bed around to get under it.
She was expecting to find the lunch box she had hidden down there with her favorite Barbie that Jeremy had tried to burn with a magnifying glass when they were 7, a couple of drawings, and silly notes she wrote, instead she found a large metal toolbox she had to pry a second floor board to lift it out. It had a lock over it; she walked downstairs with the box in her hands and headed into the garage to get a crowbar or pliers.
When she returned she managed to break the lock and tossed it aside. She sat on the sofa and opened up the lid, inside were several wooden stakes, some vervain and wolf's bane grenades and needles, some rope, a magic ring, and a note addressed to her:
Elena,
If you are reading this than that means that I am dead. I am sorry I left you so soon after you knew the truth. I am leaving you these items to protect you. This house is now in your name, you are my legacy. You will find that the house is full of hidden secrets that will protect you from the supernatural. The linen closet on the upper floor has a fake wall behind it that has Jonathan Gilbert Senior's journals, as well as several weapons to protect you let them guide you.
There is a protection spell on the house from a very powerful Witch Elena, no supernatural being will be allowed to enter this house, even with invitation unless your heart and soul truly trust the person and you want them here. You are forever bound to this house, even in your death it will belong to you or your bloodline. So if you choose the life of vampirism you can still call this house your safe haven. Take care of it, and take care of yourself, live a full life that is all your mother and I ever wanted for you. I will love you always I will always look over you, and I'm sorry I wasn't their more for you throughout your life.
John Gilbert
Tears were steadily running down Elena's face, she sat on the floor staring at the sheet of paper in front of her re-reading the letter from her uncle/father John Gilbert. She had already received a letter from John when he had given his life over to allow her to live and it never mentioned anything about the state of this house, only that he left all of his belongings to her. She suddenly felt extremely safe inside this house, nothing could harm her, and she would always be safe here. She relaxed slightly on the floor, and looked through all the items again deciding to put a vervain grenade into her coat pocket, just in case, and loaded up her suit case with the rest of the ammo John had put inside the toolbox.
She was just walking down the steps after putting the box back under her floorboard securely when the front doorbell rang. She hesitated, it could be Damon, but she was sure he had taken the keys with him this morning since they were missing from the island in the kitchen. She silently crept back up to the landing between the first and second floors that overlooked the entrance and driveway. There was a man in a black suit standing on the porch, he had sandy colored hair and was driving a very expensive Audi. She slowly continued her way up the steps when she heard the front door slam open. Her eyes widened and she ran up the second set of stairs into the master room and locked the doors. She pushed furniture in front of the door piling it high until all the furniture in the room was in front of the door. She sat onto the bed and listened with all the power she could manage to hear what was happening in the house. Silence was all that echoed back at her.
So there you have it chapter 6 is complete... I know I'm evil for leaving a cliffhanger. (evil laugh)
