Damon raises his hand in victory. He feels someone wrap a chunky championship belt around his waist. In a perfect world, Elena Gilbert would also wrap herself around him. But perfect the world is not. All Human (AH AU). Part I to chapter 25 is complete. Part II prologue is up as chapter 26.

2. Chapter 2

"I need some air. I'm still feeling a tad ... dead," Elijah Mikaelson jokes as he nuzzles Elena's neck.

"We all know the drill. I corner Damon, or I corner Damon. There is no door number three," Elena emphasizes.

"The lovely Elena drives a hard bargain ..."

"I should head to the press conference."

"Your compassion is a gift, Elena. But, Damon talks a good game. He can read lips," Elijah complains. "How do I know you're not exchanging secret love messages with him?"

"American Sign Language is not a secret. Learn it, and maybe you'll find out what Damon and I have ..." Elena winks and runs out of Elijah's reach.
