Chapter 15
I wake up in a strange room as I look and I see Damon smirking at me and I start to look at my body that still has all the clothes but he still keeps looking at me.
"Damon where am I?"
"I'm my room you feel asleep again so I decide my bed would be more comfortable than a sofa. You know being a gentleman and all that."
"Yah, sure."
At that moment a phone starts to ring and I noticed Damon answer it. my phone.
"Hello Elena" He says and tell him with my hands to give me the phone. "Yes she is with me. she just woke up." At this my eyes get bigger and I hit in on the chest as I try to get my phone back behind able to get it from him but I end up on top of Damon as he smirk at the compressive position putting his arms around my legs not letting go as I roll my eyes.
"Hello Elena."
"Hi. Sorry to interrupt."
"Elena it was not that like that."
"It was totally like that." He says and I give him a dirty look as I put the phone on speaker.
"What is it Lena?"
"I'm supposed to help build the Miss Mystic float for the Founder's Day parade. If I don't I get the wrath of Caroline but I wanted to check if you would like to go with me."
"I take the bloody vampires over hyper teenagers but thank you."
"Now since I was going to call Damon to cheek before I left."
"Well, your sister is on top of me so I'm doing great, thanks for asking." He says and I give him a dirty look.
"Checking on Stefan."
"Oh, him? Oh, he's...he's terrible."
"What's the matter?" Elena urgently asks and I give Damon another punch on the chest,
"He's just back to boring, straight-laced, off the junk. You've successfully cured him of anything that was interesting about his personality." He says and I chuckle rolling my eyes.
"Don't forget who helped." I tell him.
"I hate myself." He says smiling rolling us so I was between the bed and him not able to move as he was between my legs.
"Damon! Get off me" I scream
"Someone likes to be on top."
"You have no idea." I say teasing him as he gave me a flirtation look.
"Guys." Elena says.
"Sorry Damon it's just… Damon."
"Moving on. Did Uncle John mention anything to you about my field trip with the history teacher?"
"No. I'm still been avoiding him. Why? What's he up to?"
"I don't know. But I'd love if you could find out for me."
"I've got to go I'm late."
"Have fun with the Mystic queen." I tell her with a smirk.
"Oh. I know I did." He says and I smack him. "What jealous."
"You wish Damon."
"Well I got you in my bed under me didn't I?" He asks and I see Elena hanging up the phone.
"See now she thinks I am sleeping with you."
"You did sleep with me."
"You know what I meant."
"Elena called" Damon says and I looking behind Damon to see Stefan looking at us confused but obviously amused.
"She called me. Not him."
"Ok." He says looking between us.
"It is not what it looks like."
"It totally is." Damon says and I smack him again. "That is all you got?" He asks me and at that moment I put my legs around him spinning us so I was on top again and walk out of bed as he looked at me surprised and I just wink at him.
"Hey Stefan can you deal with him for a while?" I ask in front of my sister's boyfriend as we both smile.
"Of course you're free from babysitter work for now."
"You're the best Steffie." I tell him leaving the room and the house.
I was walking out of my training room when I hear a door knock and I saw Damon as I opened the door and I smile turning away.
"What is it?"
"Alaric called there is an emergency. Why is your hair wet?"
"I just left the shower. Let me get my purse."
"Oh, I didn't I came minutes before."
"It is not like you're invited into my apartment." I tell him passing by him and closing the door and I smirk.
"Damon, thanks for coming. Hi Sofia."
"Morning Alaric."
"Sorry I'm late. Miss here loves shower what can I say?" He says giving them a smirk as I roll my eyes. What was with him and making people think we were having sex. "What's with all the furrowed brows?"
"I saw Isobel last night."
"What?" I ask incredulous.
"Isobel is here? In town?"
"Did you ask her about Uncle John? Are they working together?" I ask the teacher as I sit next to Damon who is still up.
"No."
"No they're not?" Damon asks before I could.
"No I didn't ask"
"What about the invention?" This time is Damon who questions him.
"Didn't ask."
"Did she know about the tomb vampires?" I ask this time.
"I don't know"
"Did words completely escape you?" Damon asks this time. God we look like good cop and bad cop.
"No, I was a little too distracted by my dead vampire wife to ask any questions."
"What did she want?"
"She wants to see me, Sofia." My sister answers. That woman has to be crazy if she thinks she's coming near Elena.
"Alaric is supposed to arrange a meeting. We don't know why or what she wants."
"You don't have to see her if you don't want to." I tell her gently knowing mother and daughter happy reunion is not on Elena's plans.
"I don't really have a choice."
"She's threatened to go on killing spree."
"Oh! I take it that's not okay with you guys." Damon says and I give him the 'are you seriously' look.
"I want to do it. I want to meet her. If I don't, I know I'll regret it." She says looking at me and Damon but I was still not happy about it.
"You sure?"
"Yes Sofia, I'm sure."
"We should be in there" I tell Damon and Alaric as Elena talked with Isobel.
"No, Isobel made it clear we're not to step a foot inside"
"I'm not going to kill her in a crowd restaurant." Damon says and I agree with him
"You're not going to kill her period!"
"She ruined your life and you still want to protect her?"
"She's my wife." He says and Damon and I look at him. "Was my wife. I looked for the woman I married but she wasn't there. Whoever that is, she's cold and detached."
"Yeah, she's given up her humanity."
"Yeah, see, I don't get that. Stefan has his humanity, he's a good guy. And you're a dick and you kill people but I still see something human in you. But with her there was… nothing."
"You can turn it off, like a button you can press. I mean, Stefan's different. He wants the whole human experience. He wants to feel every episode of How I Met Your Mother." He says and I chuckle as Alaric looked at me.
"What, it's a good show."
"So he shuts his feelings out. The problem is, as a vampire, your instinct is not to feel. Isobel chose the easier road — no guilt, no shame, no regret. I mean, come on, if you could turn it off, wouldn't you?" Good question. Would I turn it off? All pain, guilt, regret.
"You haven't."
"Of course I have Firefly. It's why I'm so fun to be around." He tells me as I roll my eyes and them I try to connect with Elena's mind but I knew I was invading her privacy.
"Alaric don't take this the bad way but you're ex-wife is a psychopath bitch."
"Is there a way to not take that as a bad?"
I walk into Alaric's classroom again as everyone feed me up on Isobel treating everyone at school if we didn't gave her the device and on top of that she has Jeremy.
"Where is the device?" Bonnie asks.
"Damon has it. He's going to be difficult to reason with."
"We'll go to him, I'll talk to him." I say and everyone turns to me.
"He's not just gonna hand it over, especially if it's harmful to vampires."
"What if it's not?" Elena says and we all look at each other.
"Absolutely not."
"Just hear me out." I tell him as we were all in the library of the boarding room
"I'm not gonna give the device to Isobel so she could give it to John who is going to turn it to kill me. I like being a living dead person."
"But it'll be useless, Bonnie can take its power away."
"I don't trust her." He says talking about Bonnie.
"I can remove the original spell."
"John and Isobel will never know." Elena concludes.
"No, I'll get Jeremy in my own way"
"Really? How are you going to do that? Because Isobel is a vampire and Jeremy could be dead the second you walk in the door."
"Can I speak with you?" I tell him and he nods "Alone." He tells me to follow him and I look at Stefan. "Please don't listen. I need to know you won't listen." I whisper so that only him could hear and he nods as I followed Damon to his room.
"What is it?"
"I understand give it to Bonnie is not an easy choice for you that is why I am here to negotiate."
"Negotiate?" He asks shocked as I walk to him as he sitting on the bed and I stop in front of him as he looks at me trying to figure out what I am about to do.
"When was the last time you feed on a human?" I ask him and he looks at me confused. "I take it was more time that you wanted." I ask channeling my mother and Damon nod. "So here is my proposition."
"You're letting me drink human blood?" He asks incredulous and I moved even close to him as he put his hands on my thighs and our faces were in front of each other very close.
"No I am letting you drink my blood." I say with a seductive voice as he's eyes popped and I saw him blinking.
"You what?"
"I am letting you drink my blood if you let them have the device." I tell him slowly and seductive as I see him linking his lips. It was working. "Come on Damon, go with your instinct."
"My pants pocket." He tells me and I lower my body to get the device from his jeans felling the heat on the room getting higher. "I hope you know what you are doing." He whispers at my ear as I close my eyes and I take off the device getting up and walking out of the room.
"Are you even up for this? I mean no offense, you're no Emily Bennett. Emily knew what she was doing." Damon asks Bonnie as we enter in the room. No one knew I had the device but I also wanted Bonnie to prove she could do it.
"I've been practicing"
"It's not piano lessons, honey."
"What's your favorite book?"
"What?"
"Name a book, any book"
"Name a book… How about "Call of the wild"
"Jack London?" I turn to Damon surprised and he wink at me and I see Bonnie turning to the books and a book flies and lands in Damon's hands and we both look at the book.
"Jack London." I confirm.
"Great parlor trick. I don't trust you, I tried to kill you." Damon says.
"You're right, you can't trust me."
"We're doing this, Damon. And we're doing it my way. Now give me the device. We're wasting time!" Elena says and I looked at Damon as we nod at each other and I took the device from my pants as everyone looked surprised and I gave it to Elena.
"Thank you." She says to Damon and to me.
"I can't do this." Elena tells me in the car as Damon and Stefan were in the front.
"Look at me. Think about the cause." Ok cause may not be the best word. "Think about Jeremy. You're doing this so he can be free."
"Ok." She says to me as the 3 of them look at me surprised by my determination.
"Where is the device?"
"Where is my brother?"
"This isn't a negotiation. Where is the invention?"
"Where is my brother?" Elena says and I smile at her confidence.
"Do you really think that I came alone?"
"Did you really think that I came alone?" She says as Damon and Stefan appear behind Isobel as I come to but to Elena's side.
"For god sakes, call home."
"What?"
"Call home and ask to speak to your brother Jeremy." I nod to Elena do the call as I look at Isobel with a blank expression.
"Jeremy, are you okay?" Thank god Jeremy is ok. I was glad but I couldn't show her that. I needed to show a blank expression. Erik tought me that very well. "I'll be home soon, alright?" Elena says hanging out the phone
"You were never gonna hurt him."
"No, I was going to kill him. Don't look for any redeeming qualities in me. I don't have any."
"But you took a risk with Damon." I tell her. but I knew that taking risks was what got the job done.
"How did you know that he was gonna give it to me?"
"I didn't." She answers to my sister. "I knew he would give it to you." She says looking at me and I look at her confused. How the hell did she knew. Seducing Damon just came to my mind on the time and i'm still kind of shocked that I went with it.
"Why?" My sister takes the words out of my mind.
"Because he's in love with you" She says and I look at her blinking. God this woman is crazy. Damon in love with me? That has to be a new one. Now I almost break my blank expression with laughter because she sure as nuts.
"Thank you" Elena says giving her the advice.
"For what?" Yes Lena for what?
"For being such a monumental disappointment. It keeps the memory of my real mother perfectly intact." She says and I smirk. Way to go.
"Goodbye, Elena. As long as you have a Salvatore on each arm, you're doomed. Katherine was smart. She got out. But we all know that you're not Katherine." She says and looks at me but doesn't say anything as I see Elena and Stefan hugging and Damon and I just looked at each other without knowing what to say.
"Whatever you say man, I mean honestly we're just friends and as a friend I wasn't looking forward to telling her the truth anyway so, I'll let you do it." I hear Damon say as I enter the living room.
"What truth?" I ask as both vampire's turn to me.
"About John. Because I know you guys don't like to keep secrets from each other." He says looking at Stefan.
"What are you talking about?"
"Am I the only one around here who has the ability to put two and two together? Isobel! Hello?" He says and I smile.
"It cross my mind at some point." I say and Damon smirk as Stefan looked confused. "Stefan. She dated John when she was 15; she gets pregnant and ends up at the doctor's office of John's brother, my father. Now, what do you think John's role is in all this?"
"I mean, go ahead, and think about it, I'll wait. Did you get it? You there yet?" Damon says teasing him.
"So you two think that John is Elena's father?"
"Ding, ding, ding!" Damon says and I try not to laugh and I walk out of the room nodding as he knew very well to here I was going.
"What proof do you have?"
"I don't need any proof, that's a DNA test for John, Elena and Maury Povich to deal with but I know how well you deal with these bombs so… Sleep tight." It was the last think I heard because I was walking to the stairs to Damon's room.
"This is a surprise." Erik says coming into his room as I was on his bed with the sheets covering my naked body. I knew it was a risk but I was willing to take it because he understood me. He was like me.
"The good kind?" I ask him with a smile I saw him walking in the other direction of room not facing me.
"Get out Genevieve. We need to sleep." He tells me and I try not to show I was sad as he turned. "Maybe in a couple of years."
"That is the problem isn't it: the age difference. I want this Erik. I may look like a girl but I am not one." I say with determination in my voice and I saw a smile approaching his face as he walked to my side of the bed.
"What is on your mind?" Damon voice breaks my memory as I see him against the door frame looking at me.
"How do you wanna do this?" I ask him as he enters the room and walks in my direction.
"You were really talking seriously."
"I take my negotiating seriously."
"Think about the cause, right." He says and I nod as he came closer so our bodies were touching and I felt the heat again and close my eyes when Damon took the hair from my neck and hid fingers travel throw him. "You are truly incredible." He tells me and I look at him confused but he doesn't give me time to say anything because I felt him coming to my neck and I think it was happening so I close my eyes getting ready for the pain but instead of his fangs I felt his lips on my skin and my eyes closing from the heated felling. "Last time to back out."
"I told you I am doing this." I tell him and he looked up but I show him how determinate I was. He puts his hand on my face touching my cheek and my chin as I looked at his beautiful eyes.
"There is other ways of doing this you know." He tells me seductively and it sends me shivers throw my body and he's face comes close to mine that our lips were almost touching but he didn't made the move and after some seconds waiting close the distance.
