A/N: Here is a quick recap of what happened in chapters 1-6. No one asked for it but I thought it might be a good idea anyway. I hope you enjoy the chapter.
Recap: Elena was grounded after going to Atlanta with Damon. She was cleaning the house one day when none other than Damon himself shows up. They share a kiss. Since then Elena has been having growing confusing feeling for Damon. Founder's Gala was coming up and Stefan had to go out of town. Elena had to ask Damon to be her escort to the gala, feeling grew deeper. Caroline won!
Cleaning
Chapter: 7
Elena was happy for Caroline but a part of her was disappointed too, she wanted to win for her parents. She knew either way they would be proud of her. "Thank you Damon." Elena whispered to Damon who was still standing next to her.
"Anytime princess." He replied as Aunt Jenna and Alaric were making there way towards them.
"Elena you were great." Jenna said taking her niece in a hug. Alaric stared a Damon suspiciously.
Jenna and Elena moved to an open table to talk.
"Where's Stefan?" Alaric asked.
"I'm good how are you doing Ric?"
"Where's Stefan?" Alaric continued to press.
"It doesn't concern me, I'm not his keeper." Alaric gave him a nasty glare knowing something is up, if not between him and Stefan than between him and Elena, you had to be blind not to see the way they were looking at each other.
"Your parents would have been so proud of you." Jenna said.
"Thank you Aunt Jenna."
Silence fell between them and Jenna was the first to break it, "You and Damon huh?"
"What? No. Stefan had to go to Tennessee so Damon filled in, I would have asked Matt but he had to escort Caroline." Elena cheeks flushed a bright pink at the accusation.
"I'm just saying you two danced very well together. The way he looks at you and the way you look at him, there is something there."
"I'm with Stefan."
Jenna was about to open her mouth to say something when Alaric interrupted, "Ready to go? Elena you coming home with us?"
"I'll take her home." Damon intervened with a smirk.
"Okay, have fun." Jenna replied with deliberate sarcasm as her and Alaric left.
"Thank you, I am going back upstairs to change." Elena said turning on her heels and walked to the steps.
She walked into the room she was in earlier and changed out of her dress and back into her jeans and T-shirt. She put her dress back into the bag and her shoes back in the box, and walked out of the room.
Stefan and Alexis went back to her house and Stefan found that he could easily cross the threshold. What he found when he walked inside surprised him, her house was destroyed, and pieces to couches and bookshelves were all over the room, books everywhere. Who ever was doing this to her meant business?
"They don't come out during the day but when they do they come in large groups, they shot me with vervain all the time. They are trying to kill me." Stefan could see that it hurt her to talk about so he gathered her in a hug.
She wrapped her arms around Stefan and cried, she was afraid for her life.
"It's okay we will get them." Stefan reassured.
As Elena was walking out of the room her aunt's words filled her thoughts, was there something else between her and Damon. She couldn't deny the thoughts she had during the dance. Did he feel the same way or was it all just a game.
"Ready princess?" Damon asked taking her dress bag for her.
"Y-yes thank you." Elena answered a little shocked by his sudden polite attitude.
A/N: Please Review!
Hope you liked it.
Sorry for the lack of Damon and Elena together, I think, hope the next chapter will make up for it. In this chapter, I wanted someone on the outside to "confront" Elena.
