I'm not afraid of werewolves or vampires or haunted hotels, I'm afraid of what real human beings to do other real human beings.
-Walter Jon Williams
Chapter 3.
No way. My first thought was poor Stefan and poor Elena. Well, that's not true my first thought had some expletives in it. My next thought was go Stefan. He was really laying into Daomn and I couldn't blame him. Damon recently had been used as an instrument to send Stefan to an otherworldly prison then while we were all trying to find Stefan started to successfully steal his fiancée. Elena could try and deny it all she wanted but you could tell by the way she looked at him. By the way she was looking at him now.
Except now her head kind of had to follow them around the room. Bonnie was still holding the tray of food she had quickly made for Damon. Elena smiled and looked at Bonnie gratefully.
"I don't think he's ready for that. He'd probably would just throw it back up maybe give it to him later perhaps he won't"
"Throw it?" Bonnie added.
Elena looked nervous again.
"How do you think Damon is going to go dealing with all this?" she asked obviously hoping for some kind of reinsurance.
Bonnie looked over at the mass of vampire rolling along the floor.
"As you can see he's taking it very well already" she grinned cheekily.
I started walking over to Bonnie and Elena when Mrs Flower's came in with a huge stack of waffles.
The mysterious old women stared down at the two vampires wrestling each other on the ground like children and simply asked if she had missed anything important.
The three of us looked at each other in turn.
Elena grinned; "You could say so"
Then we started laughing. I couldn't remember the last time any of us had laughed like that. Bonnie was the first to laugh herself into a heap on the floor, followed closely by Elena than me. Elena snorted, trying to say something amongst the laughter but it didn't make sense. As we calmed down we each just lay on the floor and stared at the boarding houses ceiling. After a few minutes Matt came and joined us on the floor. We all lay there - the original ones, the humans (mostly), the ones from before all this happened- coming to terms with what just happened. We had lost a powerful weapon against the kitsune but in that moment it was hard to be scared because we were still here, we were back together and we still had each other. I heard Stefan yelling at Damon again which was followed by a large crash. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Bonnie start to smile again.
"What?" I asked.
"I guess Damon didn't like the flowers?"
And that started us all off again.
