Still Elena pov
"Stefan?" I called out, "Stefan." A smirk came on my face and I felt a presence behind me, "You're standing right behind me aren't you?"
"Yep," he said. I turned around and Stefan smiled at me. "Good morning," he said as he leaned down to kiss me.
"Mm good morning," I replied. His hands came up to my face and cupped my cheeks as he kissed me again, "I don't want us to be apart, ever."
"Me neither, but," I inwardly groaned and stopped him.
"Don't ruin the moment," I complained. He thought for a second and gave me what Damon calls his 'broody smile'.
"You're about to ruin the moment aren't you," I declared.
"I am totally about to ruin the moment," he said with a frown on his face. "I can't just pretend that everything's okay. Yes I know that Katherine is locked in the tomb, but we still have this slight issue with Klaus wanting to use you or Abby as a human sacrifice. Then there's the fact that she won't talk to us," he told me.
"Yes, but Elijah promised that he would keep me and everybody I loved safe as long as we played by his rules," I exclaimed. Why was it so hard for all of them to understand that I just wanted them all safe? "Please don't go after Isobel," I begged him pouring some vervaine in a glass.
"I'm not Katherine said that she would help, and I have a few questions," he countered.
"Stefan I made a deal with Elijah," I tried again begging for him to see reason.
"Yes, you," he put emphasis on 'you', "made a deal with Elijah. I didn't make one you should keep your deal." I ignored him and handed him the glass with vervaine in it.
"I made it light, are you sure about this? Just because Katherine built up a tolerance," I failed to understand his reasoning here.
"Yeah, bottoms up," he said taking a huge swallow of the contents. For a moment he looked in pain until the coughing started and he fell on the ground. I leaned down next to him and just held him while he coughed it all out.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Yeah," he said his face gaining color back again. "Hey have you talked to Abby yet?" he asked me. I frowned and shook my head.
"I was hoping that you could maybe talk to her soon, you helped Jeremy get over that you two were vampires maybe you could do it with Abby. It will be easier knowing that we won't have to keep anything from her. There's just something that I'm concerned about," I told him. I had racked my brain the entire night thinking about what Abby and Elijah's relationship status was. He had kissed her cheek before he left last night, so I'm thinking that they were a little more than friends. I was going to talk to her about it this morning, but when I got downstairs Jenna told me that she had left early to go to the bookshop. I knew she was avoiding us though.
"What's that?" Stefan asked me.
"I'm concerned with how close Abby and Elijah are, last night when he came to the house he kissed her cheek before he left. Then when I told him that my second condition was that he stay away from her Elijah just completely shut it down." Stefan gave me a half smile and kissed my forehead.
"I'm not saying that it's a good thing, but maybe she's safer with Elijah by her side. I mean he is an Original whatever that means," he said picking up a green shirt and putting it over his tank top. "I can ask Isobel when I talk to her." I sighed knowing that he wasn't going to let this go.
"Do you think she knows that Isobel is her Mother as well?" I asked him and he shook his head, "Should we tell her?"
"I think that it's best if we do that way it won't be dropped on her some Damon way," Stefan said grabbing his bag. "I'll go talk to her okay? I love you," he pecked me on the lips and I smiled.
"I love you too," we both grabbed our stuff and walked down and out of his room.
Abby pov
When I woke up I was unfortunately alone which meant that Elijah must've left after I fell back asleep last night after my nightmare. He had calmed me down and stayed with me until I fell asleep. I don't know how close we are, but I think that I'm starting to develop feelings for Elijah the Original vampire. If I wasn't so mad at Elena right now I would've asked her for help on this. She always knew what do when I got guy troubles. It had been early when I woke up, but what was worse was that it was the weekend. Although there was that stupid picnic or something at school, but I didn't want to go. Elijah had said that it would be good for me to get out into the world. That idea was shot down very quickly thought causing Elijah to laugh at me for nearly a minute in a row. In the few days I had known him he had never laughed like that, but I liked it, I liked his laugh. It was soft yet, I don't know how he did it, serious at the same time.
Instead while Elijah was meeting with his witch I was just going to go to the Grill and maybe do some light reading through some of the old Gilbert journals to try and find the location of the witch burial that he was looking for. I figured if he needed help that I could do some light reading for him.
Unfortunately when I got to the Grill Stefan and Alaric was together sitting at a booth talking about something, something that I probably would be left out on. I saw Alaric get up before saying something to Stefan and walking towards the door where I was.
"Abby," he started to say, but I ignored him and went over to the bar.
"Coke please," I told the bartender. He nodded and while I was handing him a few dollars he set my drink down on the counter. The second I turned around Stefan was in front of me. I gasped loudly clearly frightened and clenched onto my chest trying to stop my beating heart. "Please, never do that again," I begged him holding my hand to my heart.
"Can we talk, please?" He asked looking deadly serious.
"I have nothing to say to any of you right now," I told him taking my glass and starting to walk away from him, but he took his hand and wrapped it around my free arm. I tried to get him to let go, but he didn't. "Stefan let go of my arm," I demanded quietly not wanting to draw any attention to myself.
"Please let me explain, I'll tell you everything," he said. I raised my eyebrow at him questioningly.
"Everything?" he nodded his head. I hung my head in defeat following him back to his table. Right now the only thing I wanted to do was run and hide, I did not want to deal with all things supernatural right now. I did want to know though, I needed to know what was so important and dangerous that they had to lie to me about it. We sat in the booth across from each other without saying anything for a few moments until he spoke.
"What do you know so far?"
"I know that you, Damon, and Caroline are vampires, Tyler is a werewolf, Bonnie's a witch, Alaric's a vampire hunter, there's another werewolf called Jules running around, and Rose is staying at the boarding house. I also know how vampires were created, pro's and con's, and I know about Katherine," I said summing it all up.
"Okay do you know about the sacrifice?" my eyebrows quirked in confusion. "I see Elijah did fail to mention something." He went on to explain about the sacrifice and how the Petrova doppelganger needed to be sacrificed. Stefan also mentioned that my birth mother was a woman named Isobel, who he was trying to get in contact with, and John Gilbert. That had made me stop breathing I just couldn't believe that Uncle John was my biological father. Sure we were alright with each other, and we could tolerate each other's company but I had never suspected him of being the Jonathan that was my actual Dad.
"So I really am related to Elena?" I asked him, "You said that you were trying to get in contact with Isobel to help, right?" he nodded his head when his phone buzzed. Stefan went silent for a moment checking the text that he had gotten before putting the phone to his ear.
"Isobel," he said making my eyes widen was he actually talking to her? Was there a chance that I could meet her? "It's Stefan," damn voicemail, "we need to talk. It's about Elena and Abby." Then he hung up and looked at me again ready to keep talking.
"If the Petrova doppelganger is needed to break the curse does that mean that it's either Elena or me? Or is there something where both of us have to be sacrificed?" I asked him.
"I don't know, but Elijah seemed certain that it wasn't going to be you that was going to be sacrificed. Remember the deal that I mentioned," I nodded my head, "That deal was that he would protect your family and friends if Elena helped him lure Klaus to Mystic Falls so that Elijah could kill him." I leaned my head down on the table trying to process all of the information that Stefan had given me today.
"This is a lot to take in," I mumbled into my hands.
"Hang on a second," Stefan said. I lifted my head up to see him walking towards the door. Then I saw Damon who gave a slight wide eyed expression upon seeing me, but ignored it and turned back to Stefan who seemed to be pleading with him about something.
I quickly finished off my soda and walked out the door walking over to the school needing a distraction from all of this. Maybe Elijah had been right and I need to get away from it all for a little bit. Why wouldn't he tell me about the sacrifice? Was it because he knew that I would always save the ones I loved even if it meant sacrificing myself, because that was exactly what I was going to do now anyway. Even if I mad at them I wouldn't wish death upon anybody. By the time I got to the school it had gotten dark out and the picnic was in full swing.
I was in the back by the dumpsters ready to join everyone when I heard a scream that sounded masculine. Curious, probably too much for my well-being, I walked over and froze when I saw the scene in front of me.
"Rose?" I called seeing her feed on the janitor that I had seen around school. "Rose!" I shouted again only this time she let go of the man and he fell to the ground. "Oh god, please don't be dead," I chanted looking over his wounds and placing my fingers to his neck. There was no pulse. I started to hyperventilate a little bit when I noticed that I had gotten blood on my fingers.
I looked up at Rose who had a hungry look on her face.
"Rose," I said backing up slightly. Stefan had told me about her werewolf bit, but I thought that she was being kept up at the boarding house. She walked towards me, and then I ran. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me all the way around to the other side of the parking lot. When I had finally thought that I lost her I looked behind my shoulder. No one was there. I took in a breath of relief and turned back around. I screamed when I saw Rose in front of me with her fangs out.
"Just a little bit," she said grabbing my shoulders bringing me to her and biting down on my neck. I had thought that a vampire bite would be more pleasurable, but this was agonizing pain that I had never felt before. My screams were muffled by her hair that was all over my face as I felt the life draining from me. Right when I thought that I was going to pass out, Rose was ripped off of me and I stumbled to the ground hitting my head hard against the concrete. I tried to look up, but I could only barely manage to make my face turn in the other direction. I saw Rose being pinned down by Damon who appeared to be muttering some comforting words to her while Elena just looked terrified. Until she noticed me, then she looked absolutely worried.
"Abby," she yelled and was by my side in a moment. Elena kneeled down and brought me to her lap so that I could at least be in a somewhat sitting position.
"Did I do this?" I heard Rose choke from where Damon was holding her down.
"Damon she's losing a lot of blood," Elena sobbed holding me closer to her body muttering apologizes over and over again. I got tired of listening and closed my eyes. "No Abby don't go to sleep!"
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," Rose sobbed. The next thing I knew a wrist was being shoved into my mouth and liquid was running down my throat. I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion and tried to pull away but a much stronger hand pulled me back and forced my head to the wrist. Just as I started to feel slightly better the wrist was taken away from me. I groaned and tried to move, and with the help of Elena I got back on my feet again.
"I'm sorry Elena," I sobbed tears streaming down my face, "I didn't mean anything that I said, I'm sorry."
"I know," she stroked my hair as she struggled to hold onto me, "I know I'm sorry that we kept this from you, come on let's get you to bed okay?" I nodded my head still sobbing and clutching my bloodied neck as Elena and Damon both supported Rose and me back to his car. When my head rested against the window I shut my eyes and drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
When I woke up Elena was gently shaking me and trying to get me awake.
"Come on Abby you can sleep when we get inside okay?" I groaned but nodded my head trying to get out of the car.
"I feel like I have a hangover," I moaned as Elena supported me towards the door.
"How would you know what a hangover felt like?" She joked trying to lighten the mood. It worked and I laughed a little bit. I rested my head on her shoulder and groaned again.
"I'm tired 'Lena," I muttered, "I just want to sleep."
"Well Damon gave you his blood so that should make you tired, but don't worry just through this door and up a flight of stairs and you'll be asleep," Elena said.
"I don't want to walk up a flight of stairs," I moaned and Elena chuckled. She opened the door and helped me in. Right when we were about to start our accent up the dreaded stairs Elena stopped and I finally opened my eyes to see Stefan coming from the kitchen with a grim look on his face.
"Stefan," Elena said. He looked worriedly at me for a moment.
"What happened to her, is she okay?" Stefan asked walking over and taking me in his arms away from Elena. I understood that it was because of his supernatural strength and not because he had any romantic feelings for me.
"Yeah Rose got loose and bit her, she has Damon's blood in her system," Elena explained. I looked up at Stefan with an exhausted expression.
"So as long as I don't die within the next day I'll be fine?" He nodded his head and I slumped against him.
"I, uh, called Isobel," Stefan said hesitantly.
"I know," Elena said.
"Our Mom's here?" I asked my eyes starting to droop close again. "Did you find her?"
"Not exactly," Stefan said. We all turned around to see a familiar person standing in the doorway to the kitchen.
"Uncle John," Elena gasped out. He looked at her before his eyes landed on me and a hateful expression came on his face when he eyed the blood on my shoulder. "She knows," was all Elena said.
"I'll get her into a bed while you two, um, talk," Stefan muttered picking me up bridal style and carrying me up the stairs. My eyes shut sometime from the second to last step or when he actually got to the second floor. The next thing I know I was being placed into my soft bed. I moaned clutching the pillow tightly and the duvet being pulled over my shoulder. "Goodnight Abby," he said the lights flickering off.
But I was already asleep.
xXx
I put my ponytail in a loose bun and straightened out my black t-shirt I paired it with a pair of jeans and I was planning on making today a loose day maybe just hanging around the house until Elijah would call me back. He had some serious explaining to do about the whole sacrifice thing. Until then I walked downstairs to get a cup of coffee only to see John in the kitchen who was watching the news and talking to Elena.
"I'm here to protect you and your sister, that's all I can say at the moment," he told Elena before his eyes landed on me. He appeared to be slightly uncomfortable at the moment now that he knew I knew everything. "Good morning Abby," he greeted. I just went up to him and took his coffee. When I turned back around after taking a sip he had a slightly annoyed yet amused look on his face.
"You kept secrets from me, trust me coffee is the least you could do at the moment," I told him taking another sip.
"How are you feeling?" Elena asked.
"Like I got hit by a bus, and then run over by a dump truck. Long story short I think that I'm just going to hang around today maybe go visit Caroline or something," I replied taking another sip while Elena turned back to John.
"What do you mean that's all you can say," she snapped back at him continuing the conversation.
"I'll tell you more when I know I can trust you," he said looking at her and placing his hands on his hips.
"Can you trust me?" I asked, but I was ignored.
"Oh my god, I'm late," a frantic Jenna came into the kitchen with all of us. Her face turned to one of frustration and agitation the second she saw John.
"That's what you get for hitting the snooze button three times," Alaric said grinning ear from ear as he too entered the kitchen until his smile was gone the second he saw John.
"What the hell?" Jenna muttered, "It's okay that I'm confused right? We weren't expecting you until, I don't know, forever."
"Well you see, Jenna, I got in late last night. Elena and Abby let me in," he said.
"You know I'm probably going to head out," Alaric told Jenna awkwardly before leaving the house. Jenna turned to the John the look she had earlier turned to just pure annoyance now for making her boyfriend leave.
"I'm still confused here," Jenna said.
"Well you see I decided to stay for a while," John started, but Jenna interrupted him. It was pretty obvious that Jenna was completely frustrated with him.
"Not here you're not," she snapped.
"Well you see you can't stop me from living here," I had a bad feeling that this wasn't going to end well.
"As legal guardian-," Jenna started and my heart sank.
"You see, about that. Elena should you tell her or should I?" John asked turning to us.
"I'm sorry Jenna I should've told you," Elena stumbled off obviously nervous about what was going on right now.
"What Elena means to say is that-," I started off, but was very rudely interrupted by my least favorite uncle…father, whatever.
"I'm Elena and Abigail's biological father," John said, "There now you know." Just like that John had left the room leaving a very confused Jenna, an extremely pissed off Elena, and me. I heard Jenna scoff looking at the both of us with hurt, hatred, and confusion in her eyes.
"What?!" None of us made any sort of movement at all. I placed the coffee down on the island still half full, or empty however you want to look at it, and rubbed my hands together.
"I'm going to go do something, um, somewhere else," I muttered grabbing my book bag and black sweater and walking out of the kitchen and out the door. I needed to find Bonnie or Caroline because I still hadn't spoken to them at all about all of this. When I was a few minutes away from the Grill my phone started buzzing in my pocket.
Elijah.
Yeah, yeah, I'm horrible for ending it there. blah blah blah.
Maybe the more reviews you give me the sooner I'll update ;)
Love to all
