Chapter 2
I pulled up to Elena's house. She was sitting on the porch steps with a worried expression on her face. Figures, she must be panicking after my abrupt phone call. Before I even shut the car off she got up and ran over opening the passenger side door.
"What's going on? Is Stefan OK?"
My face fell slightly; of course the worried expression was for Stefan. I took in a deep breath and turned my head to face her. "Alaric had a visitor." I paused as her face became more worried. "It was Isobel."
"Oh my god." She whispered. "Well what did she want?"
I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. "She wants Alaric to set up a meeting between you and her."
"What? Why?" She asked confused.
"Look, don't worry we will figure something out." I said as I gently placed my hand on top of her left leg. I looked into her eyes a few seconds longer before pulling my hand away. I pulled away from Elena's house and headed home.
The car ride was silent until we were about halfway to my house. "I want to do it."
I glanced at her before turning back to the road. "Elena…" I paused. "Do you understand how dangerous this could be?" She said nothing in response. I pulled into my driveway and got out of the car. I was at Elena's door opening it before she could even get her seatbelt un done. "Alaric and Stefan are inside." I said as we made our way up the front porch.
We walked in the house and into the living room. Alaric and Stefan were there waiting for me to return with Elena. As soon as Elena layed her beautiful eyes on Stefan she ran towards him and wrapped her arms around him for a hug. As much as seeing them together hurt I couldn't look away. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Alaric looking at me. When I turned my head he dropped his eyes to the ground.
"Did Damon fill you in?" Stefan asked as he pulled Elena from the hug.
"Yea, he said Isobel wants to set up some kind of meeting with me."
"And if you don't meet her she is going to start killing people in town."
Elena looked over at me. "He left that part out." She said in an aggravated tone. "Well I want to do it." She said turning towards Stefan.
"If we set it up in a public place…The Grill maybe…"
I couldn't believe what I was hearing so I had to throw my two cense in. "Stefan, are you serious? You are OK with Elena going to meet Isobel? Alone? Alaric said she didn't want any of us there."
"Damon there really isn't another option." Alaric pointed out.
I turned towards Alaric and walked quickly over to him. "Listen teach…"
"Damon please." Elena called out. "There is no use fighting." She paused and I looked over in her direction. "Look Isobel doesn't know Stefan he can come inside with me and watch from afar. You and Alaric can wait outside; you will be able to hear if we need help." She continued to stare at me but I said nothing in response.
"So, how do we go about setting up this meeting?" Stefan asked looking over at Alaric.
"She gave me her number." He said pulling out his phone. He made his way into the hallway to make the call. The three of us stood in silence waiting for him to return. "OK she will be at The Grill tomorrow afternoon at two."
"Perfect." I said as I strolled over to the drink cart and poured myself some scotch.
It was just about midnight. Stefan had suggested that Elena spend the night and of course she agreed. They had been up discussing possibilities of what Isobel may want. I was at least grateful that it was just talking and not…well let's just say it could have been worse. I didn't hear anything for about ten minutes so I figured they had decided to finally go to sleep. I poured the last of the scotch from the stash in my room into a glass. I tossed the liquid down my throat and headed downstairs to get more.
I filled a glass with ice and scotch and took a seat on the couch in front of the fire. I heard the door to Stefan's bedroom open slowly then close. I heard tiny footsteps in the hall upstairs then on the stairs. I knew they belonged to Elena because Stefan wouldn't have made a peep.
"Damon?" She said in a surprised tone. "What are you doing up?" She asked. I looked back at her; she was wearing a pair of black yoga pants that made her ass look incredible and a snug light blue tank top that ended a few inches above the pants. I looked back at the fire and she made her way around the couch and took a seat next to me.
"I could ask you the same question." I said not taking my eyes off the fire.
"I couldn't sleep so I came down to get a drink." I turned my head to look at her. I held out my glass in front of her offering it to her. To my surprise she took it from my hand; her fingers lightly grazed mine as she wrapped them around the glass, I hated that I even noticed this. She took a decent size sip from it. "Ew, gross." She scrunched up her nose and made a face. "How can you drink that stuff?" She said handing me back my glass. I smirked and took the glass back. "So, you didn't answer my question. Why are you up?"
I took a sip of the scotch. "Same reason I guess." How could I sleep when tomorrow she was going to go meet up with some vampire with just my wimpy little brother to protect her?
"Is everything OK?" She asked.
I could feel her eyes on me and I could tell she was worried and anxious about tomorrow. "I don't want you to meet with Isobel tomorrow."
"Damon."
"Look Elena, I know you have to do it. I understand what she is threating to do but it is just not safe. Come with me tonight." I said.
"What?" She asked her voice filled with confusion.
"I can protect you better then Stefan can. I know where she is and I will take you… tonight." I turned to look her in the eyes. "Please Elena. I am not going to be able to just…wait outside with the history teacher while you are inside with some crazy vampire and my animal lover brother."
"I don't know Damon. I mean going to meet her tonight…in a non-public place…" She looked away from me and paused then slowly turned her head back to me. "But I would feel a lot better if you were there with me when I met her."
I gulped the rest of my drink before placing it on the coffee table to my left and standing up. "OK. Let's go."
Elena grabbed her sneakers from the hallway and tossed them on. I took my jacket off the back of the chair and put it on as I walked towards the front door. We got outside and I unlocked the passenger door for Elena. I turned to walk to the driver's side but Elena spoke and stopped me.
"I am going to run inside and grab a jacket, it is a little chilly."
I lightly grabbed her hand to stop her. Her eyes shot down to our touching hands and I heard her heart rate increase, I also felt a small shiver run through her body but wasn't sure if it was the cold or the fact that we were touching. Either way it made me smirk a little. I pulled off my jacket and held it out for her. "Here." I said. I walked over to the driver's side of the car and waited for her to get in before I started the car and pulled onto the road.
