He had to find out what Damon was planning to do. There was no way he possibly could've turned over a new leaf like that. There was something else going on and Stefan knew it. Even if Damon wasn't saying anything, he would get to the bottom of this.
Meanwhile, Damon went out for a walk. He was hunting prey for his nightly feed. What was it about this human woman that kept his attention? She wasn't any different from any of the other people in the town. It wasn't like she was some sort of special person with special powers or anything. She was just mortal and lived like all the other mortals in the town. So, why was he standing outside her house one more time?
He stared up at the window memorized by the beauty of her standing in the window. She seemed to be looking right at him, but there was no way she could see him out in the dark. He was counting on the moonlight to be too bright to be able to see his form out there. He made the fog swirl around him. It looked like a natural fog bank out in the middle of the woods. There was nothing strange about it and nothing unusual. Elizabeth would see it as the nightly fog rolling in where there were no buildings or other houses to block it like in the city.
He wasn't in his doctor scrubs and he didn't look like he did when he went to work. He was dressed all in black and blended in to the fog. To a passer by it was very intimidating to see someone dressed like this standing there and not saying anything. He was glad there weren't many neighbors around.
He was looking in on her earlier when she claimed to "see a man staring at her house". He wasn't trying to freak her out. He just wanted her to know he was out there watching out for her.
Suddenly, his whole life was changing. He was supposed to be the anti social, heartless one. The only agenda he was supposed to have was finding Kathrin and finding out why she had abandoned him all this time. Why wasn't she looking for him? His soul ached for her and he wanted her more then life itself.
He took a deep breath pushing away his nagging conscious that was telling him he was going against his own nature and he was turning into the soft hearted shell of a vampire his brother is. He was acting like he still had human feelings somewhere under that nasty anti social mask he wore. She's just a woman. A warm blooded, working, sleeping, eating woman with human needs the same as Elena was for Stefan.
There it was again. His conscious nagging him about how he can sit and curse Stefan for the same thing he is doing now. He hadn't even admitted he was attracted to Elizabeth. He knew she was attracted to him. It was obvious when she'd smile at him or when she'd turn her attention to Jessica and start fussing with her hair and make up. She obviously was attracted to him. He wasn't even trying to glam her. He was just fitting in to the whole hospital surroundings. He had to keep the attention off the fact that he was actually feeding of some of the patients there.
He was the angel of mercy at that hospital. The dying and sick were taken care of there. He just helped them make their final decision. It was actually the perfect cover up. Nobody would get suspicious of people dying in a hospital that were all ready sick and going to die anyway. Even Stefan couldn't find a problem with that. Who was he kidding? Stefan had a problem with everything that Damon did.
He watched Elizabeth in her room. She was sitting in front of her computer with her computer glasses on working on something. He couldn't tell from where he was standing exactly what it was but it looked like she was composing an e mail or a letter. It was still early in the evening. If he wanted to make an excuse to visit her at her house, he could just knock on her door.
One problem, she never invited him to her house before. She had no idea he knew where she lived. If he showed up on her front door step, it would look like he was a dangerous stalker and she would surely get suspicious and start asking questions.
It was bad enough she almost ran him over on the way to work. He had to convince her she wasn't going crazy. Of course, he could always brain wash her. She'd never even realize she never told him where she lived or that he'd never even been out to her house before. He could always convince her she told him when they were talking at work one day.
Either way, before he knew it he was standing in her front yard. Closer then he ever intended to get to her house. His conscious screamed at him that he was in danger and that he could never trust a human. Humans were only good for feeding and could be trusted to do nothing else. She'd turn this into another Mystic Falls and blame him as the bad guy once the truth came out. This wasn't his thing. Why was he trying to be this good guy? Kathrin never would've wanted him to do this.
He took another deep breath and knocked on her door. It was common for friends to visit other friends. Before another thought could pass, she opened the door.
Elizabeth: "Damon, what are you doing here?"
Damon: "I saw your light on and thought I'd come by. Jessica told me where you live. I hope that's OK."
Elizabeth: "Sure. It's fine. Come on in and have a seat."
He comes in and sits down on the couch. Elizabeth goes into the kitchen.
Elizabeth: "Would you like some coffee? I was just making a pot."
Damon: "Sure. It's a little late to drink coffee, don't you think? No wonder you're not getting any sleep at night."
Elizabeth: "Honey, I can drink coffee 24/7. I'm immune to the fact that it's supposed to keep you awake all night or all day. What brings you over here?"
Damon: "Well, like I said, I was in the neighborhood and I saw your light on."
She hands him a cup of coffee and sits in the arm chair next to the couch. She had on her night pajamas. Pink cotton pants bottoms and a cotton short sleeved shirt with little red roses on them. She had pink slippers that she kicked off and folded her feet under her body in the chair. She didn't care that she had never invited him to her house. She didn't care that he only had her phone number and nothing else. She welcomed his company.
Elizabeth: "So, you live around here."
Damon: "Yes. I live over on Mason Street."
Elizabeth: "Mason Street. That's like 20 minutes from here. I didn't hear your car pull up."
Damon: "That's because I was out for a long walk. I needed to clear my head. I live with my brother and some times he can have a lot of drama."
Elizabeth: "Really. I'm an only child. I wouldn't know about sibling drama."
