Chapter 13,
I ran to him,
"Damon? Damon?" I said as I shook him. What happened? He looked so... lifeless. NO! NO! I refused myself to think this as I looked at his innocent face, without thinking I took the pocket knife out of my purse which I kept for obvious reasons and slit a deep cut in my hand,
"Ow!" I said as the blood oozed out and I pressed it to Damon's mouth. At first he didn't respond but then I saw him drink. And drink. At one point I knew he was taking to much,
"Damon... Damon please stop." I said and in a flash Damon opened his eyes.
"What happened? Why's your... Why am I drinking your blood?" He said looking confused and I hugged him tight,
"Your okay." I said.
"What happened to you? I came here and you fainted and I thought you might be..." I said my voice trailing off,
"I was just tired." He said,
"Why?" I asked,
"No reason." He said and I sensed he was lying,
"Tell me Damon." I said,
"Ever since we got together, I stopped feeding. I know it was stupid, but I guess I kinda wanted your permission, also I haven't been sleeping that much." He said,
"What? Damon, I wouldn't take your permission to breath. I don't want you to hold back. Just as long as its feeding, I know vampires tend to relate feeding to... other things. And why haven't you been sleeping?" I asked,
"Of course. Thanks." He said and I knew he was stalling me,
"Spill it." I said,
"Well look, I can't sleep. I need to protect you and if I just sleep I fear that... I may be slow if anything happened." He said.
"Look, its okay. You need your strength. However I didn't know vamps needed sleep." I teased,
"Yeah, we aren't like glowing Edward Cullen's." He said laughing,
"I love you." I said,
"I love you too kitten." He said.
"Well wow, school starts in twenty minutes and I'm still starving." I said,
"Here, I bought us both a 6 inch from Subway." He said as I sat in the car with him and we rode back to school.
Bonnie's POV,
After the bell of home time rang I made my way to the car to get to the 'meeting'. I was surprised to see Luka and Jeremy standing there talking,
"Hey." I said to Jeremy whilst giving him a kiss on the cheek. I could see he was surprised by my 'public' display of affection but I just wanted to convince him that I was with him- or did I want to convince myself.
"Hey!" Jer exclaimed obviously happy that I kissed him,
"Luka! What are you doing here?" I asked,
"Well Bonnie, I enrolled into Mystic high today, I'm officially a student on campus. Listen, I know that you know about Elijah. We're supposed to train and bond so when we meet Klaus we can protect E... Alana, no wait Elena and make sure to give the originals a taste of our powers. My dad'll be there too. I was hoping we could do that now." He said,
"Actually now we have to go..." I started before Jeremy cut me off,
"On a date." He lied as I saw Luka nod,
"So when then?" Luka asked,
"How about tomorrow after school?" I said,
"Yeah sure, see you then." He said before he went away.
"A date?" I said a little taken aback,
"He doesn't need to know everything." He said and I felt a little angry,
"Look he knows everything." I said.
"Yeah, maybe. Maybe he's a nice guy like you think or maybe, maybe Elijah has him here to lure you or us. Maybe he needs info and maybe that might hurt you or Elena. Look Bonnie, you, Elena and Jenna are all I've got. I'm not gonna take any chances on losing you guys okay?" He said and I suddenly realized that he was right. Why was I taking all these chances on a guy I barely knew?
"You're right. I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to us. Any of us. We need to stick close. I'm sorry I let the fact that if Luka's a witch that he'd get a pass. Everyone can be working against us." I said solemnly.
Stefan's POV,
It broke my heart to see Elena crying in the classroom and again in her house. I knew I had hurt her. A lot. I knew what I did was wrong, but, what could I do? Its too late now. If I knew that my actions would result in this, I... Oh who am I kidding, I always knew this might happen.
I mean I do care for Elena, but I don't love her.
"Brooding and fretting over poor little Elena again?" Katherine said,
"I wronged her Katherine. I lied to her and... used her." I confided.
"Look, I'm no Dr. Phil but you should give it some time and then try talking to her. And today we're staying at the boarding house." She said
Elena's POV,
We reached the boarding house, I noticed Stefan's car. He was here, I knew it was a little childish of me but my hand gripped Damon's a little tighter (good thing he was a vampire, I'd bruise a normal one's hand with my grip!). I didn't know why I cared about Stefan's feelings towards me, Whatever. I decided to shrug these feelings off me as me and Damon got out of the car,
"Hey, you okay?" He said quietly,
"Yeah I'm fine. Lets just get this over with. Hey can we go back to my place after? I don't really wanna..." I started,
"I understand. Stef and Katherine might stay here." He completed and I nodded,
"Thanks." I said and Damon reached and kissed me. We made our way inside to find everyone there already,
"Hey..." Bonnie and Caroline said worried about me,
"Hi." I said signaling them later.
"Witch, vampire barbie, brother, a name rhyming with witch, Alaric and ring boy." Damon quirked nodding to Bonnie, Caroline, Stefan, Alaric and Jeremy.
"Okay, now that we're all here, lets get this party started." Damon added and we all sat down,
"So... lets start with today, I met Elijah. He told me not to fear him, then he said he needed to inform me that Bonnie and his witch have met and have started training once they bond and train we'll strike. I asked him again why he just doesn't hand me over to Klaus to which he replied that he knows me better than I think and said маленькая девочка, and I don't really know how I can interpret but that's what he said." I said,
"Interesting." Katherine said,
"What do you know?" Bonnie said, and Katherine smiled.
"Elijah said to you in Russian маленькая девочка which means Little girl. I just think its a clue or something." Katherine said and we were surprised some more so that Katherine actually helped!
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I think that you've got some serious help on your side." She said bitterly,
"Why aren't you running from Elijah? He doesn't forgive." I stated and Katherine smiled,
"I don't know. I guess I'm done running." She said,
"What are you playing at?" Bonnie said and Katherine smiled.
"Anyways, so did you meet the witch?" I asked,
"Yeah, his names Luka Martin. Here with his dad, we're going to train and bond. Whatever that means." She said,
"When?" Alaric asked,
"Tomorrow." She replied.
"I think we need to give Elena..." Stefan started before there was a knock on the door and before anyone could react lo and behold Elijah was there, I saw Damon protectively move in front of me and Stefan in front of Katherine.
"Hello Katerina, Elena." He said with a smile.
"Elijah." I said simply, he laughed.
"You really took it to heart when I told you not to fear me." He said,
"Well I realized you might have some motive of your own 'cause otherwise I'd be dead." I said.
"Hmm, that's true. I'm actually here for Katerina." He said.
"Wait!" I said and he quirked an eyebrow,
"In the end you still got what you want. Why kill Katherine?" I asked,
"Why do you care?" Elijah asked,
"Yeah, why do you care?" Damon chimed in.
"In our deal I accepted when you said you'd keep my circle safe. She's part of the circle." I said,
"You strike a hard deal. Katerina, мой ребенок сохранил вашу жизнь хотя я не прощал вам." (my child saved your life although i haven't forgiven you.) Elijah said and he pushed Damon out of my way enough to make him crash into Stefan, he pulled out a vial of blood,
"OOH!" He landed with a loud thud.
"Damon!" I exclaimed and tried to go to him before Elijah stopped me.
"Drink this. It'll stay in your system for about two-three weeks. You will be exceptionally strong for a few days." He said as I took the vial.
"Okay..." I said,
"Drink it." He said.
"Wait you cant force her." Damon charged toward Elijah as he sighed,
"Damon! Its okay." I said before Elijah could hurt him, I took the vial and drank it in one go. It was disgusting but I tried not to think about it,
"Great. Now until then." He said before he went.
"Damon are you okay?" I said as I rushed towards Damon and held his hands,
"OW! Elena, easy on the grip." He said and I immediately loosened my grip,
"Sorry." I said,
"Guess the vial's working." Jeremy said,
"Hey why did you save me?" Katherine asked,
"I don't know, guess I'm crazy." I said.
"I mean I wasn't exactly your friend you know..." She said,
"Ugh! I don't want to talk about it." I said suddenly annoyed a lot. I felt Damon's hand on my chest,
"What?" I asked,
"I'm feeling your heartbeat, normally transitioning vampires emotions heighten, you seem fine. Hey wait, what did Elijah say to you?" Damon asked Katherine.
"my child saved your life although i haven't forgiven you." She said,
"Well that ain't creepy at all." I said and there was a dry laugh. -
