School of the Damned
Chapter 21
Elena sighed as she unzipped her dress from the bag that was holding it. Stefan was picking her up in thirty minutes and Sarah had already done her hair and makeup along with her own. And of course whenever Sarah had put on her dress she had looked like a goddess.
The dress Sarah had chosen for herself was a dark navy blue dress with a deep plunge in the chest area. It was also really short which was a okay in Sarah standards. And her silver strapped heels looked amazing with it. Elena hoped she would look twice as better than she felt.
Elena put on her dress and gasped whenever she looked at herself in the full length mirror. Her brown hair was pulled back in an arrangement of curls that were held their by shimmering silver bobby pin. Her dress was a bright red color that sparkled in a few places. Her heels were black and the dress rested at her ankles so it wasn't too risqué, but the thing she loved most all was her mother's necklace that was dangling from her neck and seemed like it really pulled all the outfit together as well as her silver drop earrings.
"Well now that you're all nice and presentable. Let's go see what Damon's up to."
Sarah opened the door and it was almost as if Damon had had a sixth sense, because as soon as Sarah had opened the door he had been there looking at Sarah with disapproval in his eyes.
"That dress is rather revealing Sarah."
"You're just jealous, because you don't have a date."
"I do have a date actually."
"Yeah, Who?"
The door opened slightly and Elena swore that Sarah almost blew up on the spot.
"Hey slut. It's nice seeing you again." Rebekah said smirking at Sarah.
Rebekah was in a short strapless black dress that still looked amazing on her. Elena bulked even the simplest things looked good on Rebekah.
"Who are you calling a slut? You're nothing but a fucking vile witch. And Damon. What are you thinking taking Rebekah to this thing? She's a total bitch!"
"I don't have to defend my actions to you Sarah. You're not our mom."
"Fine. Go ahead and let her break your heart all over again. See if I care."
Elena stepped into view as Rebekah sneered at her, but she could feel Damon's eyes on her. Damon stepped away from Rebekah and lifted Elena's chin.
"You look stunning." He whispered.
"Well you don't look half bad yourself."
He smiled and Rebekah cleared her throat.
"I would hate to interrupt this cousinly love thing you two have going on, but we should get going Damon. I still need to catch up with my sisters."
Damon averted his gaze from Elena's and took Rebekah's hand.
"I guess we'll see you guys there."
When they left, Sarah was still livid at her brother as she pulled her cell phone out of her clutch purse to check the time.
"Let's go. Stefan and Enzo are waiting for us."
Elena nodded and they left the room to go meet up with Stefan and Enzo. Elena had to admit both boys looked dashing in their suits. Stefan took her hand and smiled.
"You look absolutely radiant." He said kissing her hand.
"Thank you."
Elena caught a glimpse of Sarah and Enzo kissing and smiled to herself. At least two people were happy and content with their lives. She sighed and intertwined her fingers with Stefan's.
"Are you ready to go?"
"I was born ready." Stefan said
They walked into the gym as Elena stared at the huge amount of streamers around the room. They were hanging from the ceiling and Elena was shocked to see an actual fountain in the center of the room. Well at least that was interesting.
Stefan led her onto the dance floor where she saw Rebekah basically grinding on Damon. Apparently some people never change. Elena tried to ignore it until one song had popped on and Rebekah stopped her and Stefan mid dance.
"May I burrow your date for a quick second?"
Before Elena could answer Rebekah was pulling him away. She hated Rebekah with a passion she had never known and went over to the punch bowl to try and calm down.
"Isn't this awesome!" Sarah asked coming up next to her.
"Not really. The bitch stole my date so he could dance with her."
"Well I can't honestly say I'm surprised. I mean Rebekah loves to whore around."
"Well enough about me and my undying hatred of Rebekah, How are you and Enzo doing?"
"Fine. Enzo has been nothing but a perfect gentlemen."
"I'm glad he treats you right."
"I am too."
"Come on. Screw our boyfriends for the moment. Let's dance."
Sarah and Elena danced together until two songs had finished and Stefan had finally stole her back. Damon was nowhere in sight at the moment.
"Sorry about that. Rebekah wouldn't let me leave."
"It's no big deal."
"Come on. I owe you a few dances."
They danced until Stefan was pulled away by Sarah to discuss a few things. Elena sat in a nearby chair and crossed her legs when a black silhouette forced her to look up. Rebekah stood there with a smug expression on her face.
"What do you want Rebekah?"
"I want you to stay away from Damon and Stefan."
"Damon is my cousin Rebekah. I doubt that I'm any threat to you."
"Oh, but you are Elena Darling. You walk around this school like you're the shit or something."
"I think you're getting me confused with yourself Rebekah."
Rebekah rolled her eyes and jerked Elena up by her arm.
"Listen here you stupid little bitch. I know your secret. I know that you're not really Damon's cousin. I mean why else would my mother half caught you two half naked on that couch unless you're really into that dirty kinky stuff."
"What do you mean Rebekah? I am Damon's cousin. I mean it might be a really distant cousin thing, but we're still cousins."
"Stop lying Elena. You suck at it. I mean you think you would keep a secret better and not get nasty with someone in public if they were your cousin like you claim. Also before you try to come up with another one of your shitty ass lies I would like to tell you that I read over your records and there was no one that even looked remotely close to you, but then the strangest thing happened I found one of your social media sights and found out that you've been lying this whole time. You probably didn't even know your magic was within you. You were just some lonesome girl who was desperate to follow the man of her dreams, but Elena you should have stayed in California."
"You have nothing on me Rebekah."
"I have everything Elena, so do yourself a favor and stay away."
"Why do you care? Damon is your ex."
"Hmm."
Rebekah ripped Elena's mother's necklace off Elena's neck and smiled.
"This is a beautiful necklace. Maybe I should just keep it for myself."
Elena reached for the necklace, but Rebekah jerked her arm up high.
"Poor Elena. You have no one. Not even Damon gives a shit about you anymore. Tell me Elena. How does it feel to lose everything?"
Rebekah threw the necklace in the fountain and Elena hit Rebekah with her fist. No one messed with that necklace. Elena threw Rebekah to the ground and punched her again. Strong hands pulled her off Rebekah and she struggled to get out of Damon's hold.
"Let me go."
"She's not worth it." Damon whispered.
"But she deserves it."
"You're not like her Elena."
She frowned as Damon released her out of his hold and she moved towards the fountain only to find that her mother's necklace wasn't there. She looked at Damon one last time before she went outside and screamed. Then something had hit her in the back of the head and she hit the ground seeing nothing at all/
