Chapter 9
History Repeating
"Honey, its nearly time to go for school," mum calls as I finish the essay I've been preparing. "Yep," I say closing my books, trying to ignore her after last night I was still not happy.
"Elouise," mum starts, "what?" I snap. After everything that was going on the last thing I wanted was some fake apology.
"It was police business, I can't tell anyone not involved, not even my daughter," she tells me, her tone sad. I glance up at her surprised; did she want me to know? How could she ever wish that on someone?
"Its fine, I should go," I murmur stuffing my books in my bags.
Mum grabs my arm as I attempt to step around her, "There are things that you don't know," she informs me.
"No kidding," I mutter underneath my breath, brushing past her.
"You're late," Daniel announces as I step outside to see him waiting.
"Just finishing some school stuff," I explain shrugging.
Daniel gives me a strange look, "You never have to do school work in the morning, what's going on?" he questions me.
"I'm just dealing with some stuff," I attempt to explain, before pausing. Either way it was going to end up offending him since we didn't keep secrets from each other. "It's just mum, and all her work," I half lie.
"Wow, not Caroline," Daniel says shocked.
I laugh, "I know she's been surprisingly nice, which means a nasty patch is impending," I tell him, "or she's finally decided after years the adopted remarks are just old," I consider.
"Yeah somehow I think that's unlikely," Daniel tells me.
I shrug smiling, "You never know."
"So what do you think of the new history teacher?" Daniel asks as we sit outside.
I consider it for a few seconds, "Well he's got to be better than Mr Tanner," I muse.
"Haven't you ever heard that you shouldn't speak bad of the dead," Daniel warns me.
I wrinkle my nose, "Please tell me you don't believe in that stuff," I beg him jokingly.
"Says the vampire girl," Daniel retorts.
I burst into laughter, "You're never going to let that one go are you?" I ask him, my eyes catching Stefan walking away from Elena. "One second," I tell Daniel running over to Stefan. "Hey are you alright?" I ask nervously, after all Lexi was Stefan's oldest friend.
"Elouise," Stefan starts in a tone that implies he's about to say something bad, "I'm won't be coming to school anymore, I'm keeping my distance." The news saddens me; I liked Stefan despite all the drama he brings.
"Well is Damon still alive?" I question changing the subject.
"Yes, even though he doesn't deserve to live," he informs me. I don't know whether to be happy or sad about it, I guess it's a mixture of both.
"Just cause you back off, doesn't mean Damon will," I murmur. "So Stefan's leaving," I say to Elena as I approach her, wondering where I was going with this.
"He's backing off from me, he thinks that us being together is dangerous," Elena explains.
"I'm sorry," I murmur, my anger for Damon resurfacing, this was all his fault.
Elena sighs, "I don't know what to do," she admits.
I shift my feet nervously tilting my head, "Me either," I confess sadly.
"Do you think he's right?" she asks me.
"No," I shake my head furiously, "this isn't Stefan it's Damon," I say firmly.
"I'm beginning to think they're a package deal," Elena whispers.
"What do you want?" I hiss as Damon appears before me. I was as angry at him as I was before and if he wasn't a vampire, I may have attacked him.
"Someone's snappy," Damon comments walking beside me.
"After what you did your lucky snappy is all you get," I growl at him stopping, "what are you even doing here?"
"Looking for the teenage witch," he answers glancing around the parking lot.
I frown wondering who he's talking about before I realize, "Bonnie," I guess.
"That's the one," he confirms. "
Stay away from her," I warn him, Bonnie didn't deserve to be brought into all this even if she was a witch.
Damon smirks, "She stole from me, I'm the one who's been wronged," he claims.
I narrow my eyes, "You lost the right to be wronged the minute you took a life," I snap, "have a nice life, Damon."
"What are you doing?" I ask Caroline absently as she enters the lounge with a bag of things.
"Sleepover at Elena's, she's trying to make me and Bonnie friends again," she tells me.
I frown confused, "You're not friends with her?" I question in confusion.
Caroline sighs like I had just asked the most stupid question in the world, "No I'm angry with her she stole a necklace and refuses to give it back," she explains.
I roll my eyes, "Right cause you don't have a thousand necklaces," I say sarcastically.
"Of course you don't understand, you've never had a proper friendship," Caroline snaps, "its Damons."
My head shoots up at this, "But why would you want to get it back for him, that's over right," I ask desperately. Caroline gives me a strange look, as if she can't believe I'm even asking.
"Just forget it," she mutters walking away. I frown wondering what that was about, but I didn't think Elena would allow her to get back with Damon anyway. Yet she was my sister I couldn't stop worrying. I shake my head from the thoughts, turning back to my work. Caroline's problems were her own, like they always had been.
"Elena what's up," I ask with dread, as I pick up the phone. Elena only ever seemed to ring if there was some major supernatural drama going on.
"Elouise," Elena starts in a scared voice, "I know I have no right to ask you this but," here Elena pauses obviously unsure whether to go on.
I stand up grabbing my jacket, "Elena its fine, what's up?" I question, already heading out the door. I figured that whatever was happening involved me going somewhere and at this moment I was prepared to walk.
"Bonnie's being possessed by her witch ancestor, it's a long story but shes going to Fell's Church and Stefan told me not to go but Elouise I have to," Elena explains. I take in the information in shock, unsure how to feel about it.
"Okay I'm on my way, come by and pick me up," I tell her, glad that it was on the way. As I begin walking I try to piece together what's going knowing Damon must have something to do with this, he was looking for Bonnie. Probably to get the necklace that Caroline wanted which probably meant the necklace had something to do with this.
"Thanks for coming," Elena says sincerely as I jump in her car.
I shrug, "Its fine, you do the same for me," I mutter, unsure how to handle her thanks. "So does it have something to do with that necklace Caroline wants?" I question, wanting to test my theory.
"Yeah Damon wants it for some reason, it was her ancestor Emily's and Katherine's, its something about a deal," she informs me.
"A deal?" I repeat confused.
"We have to walk from here," Elena says pulling the car over. I get out, feeling oddly scared of the dark forest before me.
"You know the way right?" I ask Elena nervously.
"Yeah," Elena assures me, starting to make her way forward.
"Bonnie," Elena screams as we finally catch sight of Bonnie, Stefan and Damon.
Bonnie doesn't notice us but throws a crystal up to the air, "No," Damon yells as it is destroyed before our eyes. Damon is looks furious and within a second he is in front of Bonnie attacking her.
"Bonnie," Elena and I cry at once. Damon releases Bonnie and Stefan grabs her as Elena and I run up to her.
"She's alive barely but I can save her," Stefan tells us as he bites his wrist, feeding Bonnie his blood.
"Her neck, its healing," I say in shock as the wound begins to recede. We help Bonnie back to the Elena's car and she looks at both of us in complete confusion.
"I don't understand, what happened to me? He attacked me and his face was likeā¦.," Bonnie pauses trying to search for the word.
"How do you feel? Are you okay?" Elena asks, ignoring what she has said.
Bonnie touches her neck, "I'm fine, its just this blood," she assures her, "I don't," she stops as Stefan walks toward us.
"I'm not going to hurt you," he promises her.
"What's going on?" she questions, looking at me and Elena.
"We'll explain everything," Elena promises her, glancing over at Stefan.
I can tell she wants to talk to him, "Come on, let's just get out of here first," I say, ushering Bonnie towards the car and leaving Elena to talk to Stefan.
"Elouise, seriously," she says to me, as I hop in the back seat.
"Its something Elena should tell you," I tell her firmly, after all Elena was her best friend. Bonnie seems like she wants to push the subject but obviously decides its better not to.
"Is she going to?" I question as Elena gets into the car. I had a sudden thought that vampire blood was involved in turning a person.
"No, she has to die," Elena assures me.
Bonnie looks from the two of us in complete confusion, "What's going on?" she questions, completely confused. Its not till then that I notice that Elena's eyes are glistening,
"Elena," I murmur, realizing that Stefan must have told her he was leaving.
She shakes her head, "Lets just go back to mine and we'll explain everything," Elena says to both of us, backing the car up. I left my knees to my face, wondering what had just happened. Why did Damon need the crystal and why did I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach that this was just the beginning? I gaze at the darkness outside the window, dreading the future that was rushing towards us.
I'm sorry that its such a short chapter, but it was an episode that Elouise just didn't really fit into...I hope you enjoy it regardless :)
