Sup Everyone!
I would like to thank you Blackbird924 and Liz213Mast for add this story as a favourite
This chapter took longer than I thought for some unknown reason.
Anything I make the characters think are completely by me since you can't read peoples mind on T.V. So we have no idea what the character are thinking. Like dreams, thoughts will be in italic.
Sadly I don't own Vampire Diaries nor do I own Damon : ( Vampire diaries belongs to L J Smith and the CW.
Elena slowly woke form her sleep, her back pressed against a hard, solid naked chest with two strong arms wrapped around her, holding her close. Stefan Elena thought as she snuggled closer with a lazy smile on her face.
Stefan gently pressed his lips to the shell of her ear, kissing her sweetly.
"Mmmm. Good morning." Elena spoke first, snuggling in the pillow her head rested on, feeling Stefan's arms tighten around her slim body.
"I could get used to this." Stefan commented with a peaceful smile that was hidden by long chocolate brown hair that belonged to Elena.
"Rise and shine, sleepy heads." Damon's cheerful voice called from the end of Stefan's bed effectively ending the couples morning snuggles.
"Damon. Please."
"What are you doing?" Stefan and Elena both spoke at the same time, sitting up to rearrange the sheet to cover their bodies at the sound of Damon's voice even though neither was completely were naked.
"Oh, stop being smutty." Damon taunted.
"Seriously, get out of here." Stefan ordered his older brother with no success.
"If I see something I haven't seen before, I'll throw a dollar at it. Now listen…" Stefan looked frustrated at his brother's audacity to just casually sit at the end of his bed and chat away about his plan, not caring that his little brother was shirtless in bed with his girlfriend. Elena just looked at him in disbelief that Damon would be telling them about his plan while she was in bed with Stefan. "There's some very important business to discuss." Damon continued looking completely serious.
"And it has to be right now?" Stefan questioned Damon.
Damon smirked at the vampire and doppelgänger in bed together. "We have lots to do. Now that were all friends and working towards a common goal." Damon stood up from the bed and turned to step back a bit. With Damon's back turned, Elena and Stefan shared a look if irritation. Damon turned back to face them a continue talking. "So in order to open the tomb, we need to find the journal, to get the grimoire to udo the spells. So firsts thing first, since you are Elena Gilbert." Damon emphasised 'Gilbert' to get his point across, "you're on journal duty."
"Since when am I helping?" Elena questioned with raised eyebrows.
Damon smirked again. "Well Stefan's helping. And since you've taken up residency in Stefan's bed. Ergo." Damon explained his reasoning to why Elena is helping to open the tomb.
Stefan spoke to Elena, "you don't have to do anything you don't wanna do."
Elena closed her eyes and laid back down in the warm bed. "I'll look for it today."
"Good." Damon quipped.
Stefan questioned his brother about something he had been wondering about ever since the school dance with the mystery vampire. "How do we know that this journal will hold the location of the grimoire? We're really gonna take the word of this vampire? He seemed like bit of a dimwit."
"In lieu of any other options."
Suddenly Elena sat up looking at Damon with a question that has been bothering her. "Okay. What exactly is a grimoire anyway?"
"It's a witch's cookbook." Damon crossed his arms over his chest while Elena looked at with an expression that clearly said seriously? That's you answer to the question. It doesn't even make sense.
Seeing Elena with that expression, knowing she had no idea what Damon meant, Stefan explained it to her. "Every spell that a witch casts is unique on to itself. So every witch would document their work."
"Yeah." Damon raised his eyebrows. "Cookbook."
"What about our mystery vampire? Dimwit, obviously, wasn't working alone, so whoever is out there knows who we are." Stefan spoke to Damon.
"And I don't like that disadvantage. So…" Damon claps his hands twice then finished speaking, "chop-chop." Damon turned to walk to the doorway with Elena and Stefan silently watching him leave, when he turned and walked backwards facing them, "You know I really like this whole ménage-a-threesome team thing. It's got a bit of a kink to it." Damon finished in a singsong voice, "Don't screw it up." And left the room.

Damon walked back to the kitchen bench after refilling Jenna's wine glass. His back was to the doorway as he chopped vegetables for family night dinner.
"Hello, Elena." Damon drawled out the word still not turning around. Jenna took a sip of her dark red wine before she turned her head to see Elena appear from the doorway, frowning at Damon.
"Hey where have you been? We're cooking dinner." Jenna asked Elena. Elena walked over to stand next to Jenna, still watching Damon and put her hand on her him. He looked up at her.
"Stefan with you?" Damon stopped chopping as he waited for Elena answer.
"Um, he'll be here soon." Damon went back to chopping while Elena narrowed her eyes at Damon's back.

Damon walked back in the kitchen are after setting some food on the table and pressed right up against Elena as she walked to get past him carrying plates.
"Oh. Mm." He exclaimed when her body was pressed against hers. Damon moved slightly so Elena could get to the table but still brushed against him on her way. Elena smiled at being pressed up against him once Damon could only see her face then she scoffed and scolded him.
"Don't do that." She set the plates down on the table, still not facing Damon.
"Do what?" Damon asked innocently, walking to the stove.
"You know what. That move was deliberate."
Damon started mixing the sauce that was cooking in a pot on the stove. "Well, yeah. I was deliberately trying to get to the sink." Elena looked at Damon and scoffed again, clearly not believing him.
Damon continued talking, "speaking of Stefan, where is he? He's missing family night, which I am enjoying immensely." Damon turned to smirk at her. Elena said nothing in return. Damon was quiet for a moment lost in thought. "Is it real?"
"Is what real?" Elena question not knowing what Damon was asking about exactly.
"This renewed sense of brotherhood." Damon lifted the wooden spoon for the pot to taste the red sauce he was cooking. He looked over his shoulder to Elena, "can I trust him?"
"Yes, you can trust him." Elena looked at Damon then back to the table. Not believing that she was telling the complete truth he vamp speed over to stand behind her. Elena rolled her eyes then turned to look him in the eye knowing he would be standing right behind her.
"Can I trust him?" Damon asked Elena being dead serious. He looked her in the eye not blinking, searching for any signs of lies or betrayal. Almost as if he was compelling her.
Elena assumed that he was trying to. "I'm wearing vervain, Damon. It's not gonna work."
Damon frowned slightly hurt that she just assumed he was trying to comply her. "I'm not compelling you. I just want you to answer me." Damon bit his lip before adding "honestly."
Elena didn't speak for a few minutes "of course you can." Damon looked her in the eye longer then Elena walked away.

"There was a time that I trusted him more than anyone." Damon revealed to Elena thinking of his friendship to Stefan back in 1864.
Elena grabbed some food form the bowl on the counter, "trust breeds trust." She popped the food in her mouth and continued. "You have to give it to get it."
Damon looked taken aback for a second. "Are you lecturing me?" Elena grabbed the bowl she had been eating out of and stepped forward, sticking her hip out to one side.
"Do you need to be lectured?"
"I just want her back. I'm sure you can understand that." Damon told Elena
"I can understand that you would do anything for her, yes." Elena walked over to the table to set the bowl of food down with Damon standing at her back.
"Then you understand what I will do if anyone gets on my way." Damon told her quietly. Elena said nothing and took a deep breath.

Jeremy and Damon sat next to each other on the couch each with a game controller in their hands with Elena still in the kitchen going through a box filled with her parent's old things.
"You said you had never played this thing before." Jeremy commented to Damon.
"I'm a fast learner. Quick reflexes." Jeremy's phone rang when Damon finished speaking. Jer paused to the game to check his phone causing Damon to look at him confused for stopping the game. Jer hung up and tossed his phone next to him then went back to playing the video game.
"Who are you dodging?" Damon questioned with his eyes fixed to the screen.
"This girl Anna. She can be, uh, persistent."
"Is she hot?"
"Yeah. Yeah. But she can be weird."
"Pfft. Hot trumps weird. Trust me." Damon advised Jeremy. Jer chuckled.
In the kitchen with Elena and Jenna
Jenna whispered to Elena talking about Damon. "He is ridiculously hot." Damon overheard this with his vampire senses and smirk widely, saying nothing.
"Shh." Elena shushed her, putting a finger over her lips. Knowing that Damon was probably listening, she spoke louder so he would be able to hear clearly. "He's an ass." Damon rolled his eyes at that.
Jenna stopped whispering to ask Elena a question, "What are you doing with all this stuff?"
"I thought there might be something about my birth parents." Elena spoke rummaging through the box containing some of her and jer's parent's old things.
"Have you told Jeremy?" Both girls looked towards Jar at Jenna's question.
"I will." Elena nodded to assure herself that she will tell Jeremy, eventually. Not finding what she was looking for Elena packed up the box, "when the time is right." Just then the door bell rang, interrupting Jenna and Elena's conversation. "That's Stefan."
Damon heard the doorbell ring and put his controller down and rushed to the door along with Elena. She opened the door to let Stefan inside, when he started at his brother saying nothing. Stefan looked at Elena who said nothing about Damon's presence and Damon simply smirked at Stefan.
"Well?" He asked his younger Salvatore.

Damon walked along the front porch of the Gilbert House with Stefan and Elena following so they could talk without Jenna or Jeremy overhearing.
"Who took it?" Damon demanded when Stefan told him the journal wasn't at the school with Mr Saltzman.
"I don't know." Stefan told his older brother.
"You know what…" Damon stopped walking and turned to face his brother and Elena "it's that's teacher. There's something really off about him."
Stefan crossed his arms over his chest and started at Damon. "No. He doesn't know anything." Stefan smoothly lied to his own family without hesitation. "Somebody else got to it right before me."
"Who else knows it was there?" Stefan didn't answer, he only looked through a window at Jeremy. Damon followed his gaze. So did Elena. Damon moved to go inside and begin questioning Jer.
"No, Damon, leave him out of it." Elena ordered but Damon didn't listen.
"Why? What's the big deal?" He reasoned.
"Damon." Damon ignored Elena and walked over to Jeremy with Elena and Stefan following him.
"So I heard you found a really cool journal from back in the day." Damon sat on the arm of the chair as he spoke to Jeremy. "Who else did you show it to?"
"Huh?" Jer said to absorbed in his video game to listen closely.
"Don't ask questions. Just spill."
"You're kidding me right?" Jer laughed thinking Damon wasn't serious.
Elena spoke up this time. "Jer, did you tell anyone other than Mr Saltzman about Johnathan Gilbert's journal?"
"Why is everybody so obsessed with that?" Jeremy asked confused.
"Who else did you tell?"
"Just that girl, Anna."
"The hot, weird one?" Damon asked to make sure they were talking about the same Anna.
"Yeah."
Stefan spoke for the first time since entering the Gilbert house, "wait. Who's Anna?"
"That's what I wanna find out." Damon mused when Elena phone rang. She turned and went to her room to answer it.
"How do you know her?" Damon continued with the questions.
"I just know her. She wants me to meet her at the Grill tonight."
"Perfect." Damon exclaimed. "I'll drive." He stood up to leave the house for his car with Jeremy following slightly confused as to why Damon is driving him to the Grill.

Elena squatted by Stefan who was still standing in his father's grave and flipping through pages of the book they found. Suddenly a voice called out, startling both Elena and Stefan.
"Well, what do you know?" Elena snapped around and stood up, shining a torch on Damon, who was glaring at his younger brother and Elena while trying to control his anger.
"This is an interesting turn of events."
TVD
"I can't let you bring her back. I'm sorry." Stefan spoke as he now stood in front of Elena and out of his dad's grave,
"So am I." Stefan didn't follow what Damon was sorry for so his older brother explained. "For thinking for even a second that I could trust you."
Stefan scoffs at his brother. "You are not capable of trust. The fact that you're here means you read the journal and you were planning on doing this yourself."
Damon looked at his brother like he was an idiot. "Of course I was gonna do it by myself. Because the only one I can count on is me. You made sure of that many years ago, Stefan." Stefan said nothing but a small look of sorrow passed across his face. Damon took and step forward and addressed Elena. "But you- you had me fooled." Elena looked at her feet, unable to look at the betrayal in Damon's eyes.
Damon spoke to his brother again. "So what are you gonna do now? Because if you try and destroy that, I'll rip her heart out." Damon threatened.
"You won't kill her." Damon nodded slight correcting Stefan that he will kill her but Stefan just shook his head. Moving faster that the human eye can see Damon rushed forward behind Elena and put one arm around her neck, holding her against his hard, muscular body. Elena let out a gasp at being pulled back against Damon's chest.
"I can do one better." Damon informed his brother then he bit his wrist with his fangs and forced his wounded arm against Elena mouth, forcing his blood down her throat. Elena grunted in protest.
"Give me the book, Stefan." Elena struggled against Damon as he spoke to Stefan. "Or I'm snapping her neck and you and I will have a vampire girlfriend."
"Let her go first." Stefan spoke with worry all over his face and in his eyes. He was scared for Elena's life. Damon took his wrist away from Elena mouth but kept and arm around her neck, holding her to him.
"The book."
"I'm not gonna give this to you until she is standing next to me." Stefan reasoned with his impulsive brother.
"The problem is I no longer trust that you'll give it back."
"You just did the one thing that ensures that I will." Damon glared at his brother for a moment the he nodded to the ground. Stefan understood what he meant.
"Okay." He held up the book so Damon can see it then put in on the ground. Damon turned his head and pressed his nose against Elena's hair then he slowly as not to startle her he move his arm from her neck.
Stefan held out a hand towards Elena to take. Damon gently pushed Elena to Stefan. She rushed into her boyfriend's arms, panting from fear. Stefan held her against him and with one last look at his brother, he left with Elena safely in his arms.
Damon stood still for a moment watching them go then he walked forward to get the book that was on the dirt. He turned and looked at his father's bones in the wooden coffin and remembered the night when Katherine was taken away and his father stopped him for going after her, saying that he will be killed if they branded him a sympathizer. And Damon very clearly remembered what he told his father in response.
"Then let me be killed."
