School of the Damned
Chapter 13
Elena tapped her pencil against the desk waiting patiently for her teacher to end the lecture, so far there had been no one confronting her about not being an immortal and she had wondered why he hadn't spilled the beans yet. She sighed as he finally dismissed the class and she stepped towards him waiting for everyone to leave the room. Damon and Sarah gave her a reluctant look, but she gave them both a look that convinced them to go.
When her and her teacher were truly alone Elena went over to him and spoke up.
"I need to talk to you."
"What about Ms. Gilbert?"
"I know that you know what I am and I was just wondering why you haven't told Esther about it yet. I mean I can't stay at this school. I don't belong here."
"You do belong here Elena you just don't know it yet."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Take that damn ring off and you'll understand where I'm coming from."
Elena nodded and took off the ring. After all what did she have to lose. He already knew that she was a human so there wasn't anything she could do about that. He knew her mother for God's sake.
"Now what do I do?" she asked looking around the classroom.
"Just concentrate and this should be easy."
Elena was about to ask him what he meant when he produced a fire ball in his hand and threw it at her.
"Deflect it!"
She watched as the fire ball hurdled towards her and she just barely managed to dodge it. It had singed her hair a bit, but it was still better than a face full of fire.
"You're fucking crazy! Why did you do that? You know I can't fight that."
"Try again then."
He threw another one, but this time Elena managed to roll away from it instead of just letting it happen. This guy was seriously starting to piss her off. When the teacher felt displeased again and threw another one Elena got so mad that she focused all the anger in her hand and when the fire ball touched it she slapped it away without getting burned or anything.
She turned around and saw the fire ball burning a nearby desk and her eyes grew wide. Did she really just do that? She looked at her teacher with utter disbelief as a sense of proudness crossed his face.
"See I knew you could do it."
"I-I have to go."
She grabbed her backpack and ran out of there running to Damon's room. If anyone could tell what was going on it would have been him. She knocked on the door frantically until Damon opened it with a confused Sarah beside him.
"Elena what's wrong?"
"I have to talk to you both and I need the truth no matter what."
"Come on in."
Elena came into Damon's room and turned to both of them.
"I thought the ring was the source of whatever power I had."
"It's supposed to be." Damon said giving Sarah a look.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"Obviously you know something that me and Elena don't so spill."
"Fine, but it's not going to be a pretty story."
"Just tell us Sarah."
"I enchanted Elena's ring to take away power not to enhance it. Which imagine my shock when I find out that Elena does have power."
"Wait if I have power without the ring then I'm not really an inbetween. That's why he wanted me in his class. He probably knew about the ring and wanted me to be who I truly was."
"Which is what?" Damon asked giving Sarah a hard look.
"I don't know yet, but I'm sure I could figure it out with a little help of course."
"I'm so sorry Elena. When I first met you I didn't want you here. I still don't but if you are truly an immortal then how do you expect to know which one you really are?"
"That's easy. I have to tell Esther the truth. She might be furious at first, but I need to know what I am also I need to tell Stefan and I need to train with both you and Damon. If the teacher sees potential in me then he might know what I am and get me out of this mess."
"Didn't he just try to kill you?"
"He was trying to get me to discover that the ring was holding me back. I just need to figure out what else I can do, but for this week I want to keep this a secret. Deal."
"Deal." They said in unison
"Now the only question left is, where do we start?"
