Adelaide looked over at her sister. who were sitting at the dining room table while she watch Jenna in amusement." Who is she talking to?" She questioned.
"Him." Jenna said as she pointed her finger towards the TV.
"The news guy?" Adelaide questioned.
Jenna nodded her head as she spoke." Also known as Logan " Scum" Fell." Jenna looked towards Elena as she questioned." Did your mom ever tell you why i left Mystic falls?"
"Oh, no way." Elena laughed." You and him? He´s cute."
"Are you blind? That man is not cute." Adelaide knew all about Logan, and she hated him for what he had done to Jenna.
"What´re you doing with that?" Adelaide questioned as she saw Elena polishe the Gilbert watch.
"I went yesterday and got it from the safe deposit box. Mom told Mrs. Lockwood she would loan it to the founder´s council for their display."
Jenna picked up and old wedding ring and and examined it before she questioned." Is that Grandma Beth´s wedding ring?"
"Originally, it was Great-Great-Grandma Mary´s wedding ring." Elena told her.
Jeremy walked into the kitchen and headded towards the table and grabbed the a pocked watch from the box." How much do you this stuff is worth, like on eBay?" He questioned.
Elena leaned over the table and grabbed the watch from Jeremy´s hand." You´re not going to find out." She said.
"That´s mom and dad´s. You can´t just give it away." Jeremy grumbled.
"I´m not giving it away. It´s called a loan Jeremy." Elena told him when the doorbell rang, and Elena smiled as she all bout ran towards the door.
"Stefan." Adelaide said as she saw the confused look on Jenna´s face.
"Oh." Was all she said before she turned back to what she had been doing before the news came on.
Adelaide were sitting by the dining room table, reading her favorite book when the doorbell rang. Adelaide sighed before closing the book, so she made her way towards the door. But she so whished she hadn´t, when she saw who was at the door." What do you want?" She questioned.
"I´m here for my mom. I was supposed to pick up a box of stuff." Tyler told her.
Adelaide nodded her head before leaving the door open and quickly grabbing the small box from the dining room table." Please be careful with it, Ty." Adelaide told him.
Tyler looked up at her when she called him by his nickname." He sighed as he apologized."Look, I´m sorry about fighting with Jeremy. It was in the heat of the moment, i was angry."
"Angry about what?" She questioned.
"About you and Matt." Tyler said.
Adelaide looked at him with a confused look on her face as she questioned." Me and Matt?...Wait. You think there is something going between me and Matt?"
"Is there?" He questioned.
"I´m not going to have this conversation with you." Adelaide said before she started to close the door, but Tyler stopped her before she could close it compelty.
"Are you sleeping with my best friend?" He questioned.
"So, what if I´m? What is to you!" Adelaide yelled.
"Because i love you!" Tyler yelled back at her.
"What´s going on?" Jeremy questioned as he came running down the stairs, and walked over to stand behind his sister as he glared at Tyler.
"This doesn´t concern you." Tyler said as he kept his eyes on Adelaide.
"You need to leave." Jeremy told him."
"Adelaide, please." Tyler begged her.
"I can´t do this." She said as she turned and ran up the stairs, and into her bedroom slamming the door close, before throwing herself onto her bed. Adelaide closed her eyes when she heard Tyler and Jeremy yelling at each other. She didn´t know how long she had been laying there before she fall asleep.
"May i sit?"
Adelaide turned to see who it was, and she quickly stood when she saw who it was." My lord." She said as she bowed her at him.
"Please don´t." He said with a smile on his face." Can i?" He questioned as he pointed to the spot beside her on the bench.
"Of course." Adelaide said as she sat down on the bench and he joined her." It´s beautiful, is it not?" Adelaide questioned as she looked out over the land
"Indeed it is." The man said as he turned towards her and smiled." So are you."
Adelaide turned and saw he was staring at her." You can not say such words." Adelaide said before she stood, she was about to leave when a hand on her arm stopped her from going anywhere."
My lord, please." Before she open her mouth to speak, he had moved his arm around her and pulled her close to him, and they stood there staring into each others eyes. And when he moved closer to her lips, she pulled away from him." We can´t." She told him
"Why?" He questioned as he moved towards her, but stopped as she backed away from him." I know you feel it too."
"My lord."
"Elijah." He said.
"Elijah this is not..." But before she could say anything else, he quickly moved towards her, pulling her close ." I´m going to kiss you now." He said before he slowly leaned forward, giving her a chance to pull away, he smiled when she didn´t and he kissed her with everything he had in him.
Later that evening, Adelaide stood inside the bathroom along side her sister and Bonnie as they were getting ready for the founder´s party. Bonnie was curling her hair while Adelaide were helping Elena straigthen her hair. Suddenly the phone that was laying on the bathroom counter rang. Elena reach over and answered the phone as Adelaide continued to straigthen her hair.
" Hello." Elena said." Hi, Mrs Lockwood, what do you mean?" Elena questioned as she looked at her sister in the mirrow with a worried look on her face." Is it? Are you sure? Cause i saw it. Let me check. Mm-hmm. I will find it and bringit. Okay. Bye." Elena said before she ended the call.
"What is it?" Adelaide questioned.
"Come with me." Elena said as she walked out of the bathroom, and Adelaide placed the hot straighterner on the counter and followed after Elena, who were heading straight for Jeremy´s room.
Elena walked into Jeremy´s bedroom. She slapped the back of Jeremy´s head, causing Jeremy to jump." Ahh? god. What now?" He groaned.
"The pocked watch." Elena questioned." Where is it?"
"What watch?" Jeremy questioned.
"The one you stole from mom´s box." Elena sighed." Mrs. Lockwood just called me, freaking out. It was on the list, Jeremy. And she can´t find it, and she thinks she´s the one that lost it."
"Maybe she did. Our Tyler took it." He questioned as he looked between his sisters.
Adelaide rolled her eyes." Don´t blame this on Tyler."
"You defending him after what he just did?" Jeremy questioned.
"What did Tyler do?" Elena questioned as she turned towards her sister with a worried look on her face.
"This is not about me." Adelaide said as she pointed her finger at Jeremy." Did you take it our not?"
"If i go online, am i going to find it on e-Bay? Is that how you pay for your pot." Elena questioned as she glared at Jeremy.
"Screw you." Jeremy growled before he stomped over to the bookshelf and bowed down. He pulled out the watch from small hiding place, and walked directly in front of Elena." I would never sell this, okay." Jeremy hissed.
"Then why did you take it?" Elena questioned with a confused look on her face.
"Because it supposed to be mine." Jeremy told her. But when Jeremy saw the confused look on his sisters face´s, he continued." Dad said it goes to the first born son. His dad gave it to him, and now what?" Jeremy slammed the pocked watch into Elena´s hand before walking back to his desk.
Adelaide looked at Jeremy softely as she said." And dad was going to give it to you."
"Yeah." Jeremy mumbled.
" Look Jeremy, it´s still yours, okay? Mom promised Mrs. Lockwood. What do you want me to do?" Elena questioned as she looked at Jeremy.
"Just take it and get out." Jeremy grumbled before he placed his headphone over his ears, igorning whatever his sisters had to say.
Once the girls were finally dressed, Adelaide saw Elena looking at the clock on her desk." Is Stefan coming to pick you up?" She questioned.
"Yeah." Elena said.
"Okay. Then me and Bonnie will are probably going to go. I will see you there, yeah?" Adelaide questioned, and Elena nodded her head.
"Don´t forget to lock the door." Adelaide said before she turned to Bonnie." You ready?" Sh equestioned.
"Mmhmm." Bonnie said.
"My lady." Adelaide said as she held her arm out for Bonnie to take. Bonnie shook her head as she walked over and linked her arm with Adelaide´s.
"Did i tell you that you look beautiful?" Adelaide questioned as the two girls walked down the stairs.
"Shut up." Bonnie said.
"No. really." Adelaide said with a serious look on her face." You do."
Bonnie smiled at her before she spoke." Thank you, and so do you."
Adelaide and Bonnie finally made it to the front door of the Lockwood mansion after waiting in line for all of the resident of Mystic falls to greet the mayor of the small town.
"Adelaide! You look gorgeous."Mrs. Lockwood said when she saw the oldest Gilbert sibling walking towards the door.
"As do you Mrs. Lockwood." Adelaide said.
"Hello Bonnie." Mrs. Lockwood greeted when she saw the other founding familie´s child.
"Mrs. Lockwood." Bonnie said before she linked her arm with Adelaide´s and walked away from the older woman. Adelaide chuckled when they were finally away from Mrs. Lockwood.
"You really don´t like her?" Adelaide questioned.
"Nope." Bonnie smiled." I´m going to go and find me a drink. I will see you later." She said, and Adelaide nodded her head before she began to look for her sister. She found Elena a few minutes later after she had talked to afew different people.
A few hours had past and Adelaide found herself staring at her parent´s wedding rings with a sad look on her face before she walked around the room, and something else caught her eye. Her Great-Great-grandma Mary´s wedding ring.
"Adelaide."
Adelaide turned to and saw Stefan walking into the room, and she smiled at him before she said." Hey Stefan.
He walked over to stand beside her and looked down at the ring." That´s a beautiful ring." He said as he turned towards her, and his eyes widened as he saw the familiar locket she was wearing around her neck.
"That was my Great-Great-Grandma Mary´s wedding ring." Adelaide told him.
"And the locket?" Stefan questioned.
Adelaide turned towards him with a confused look on her face as she questioned." What?"
"The locket." He said as he pointed his finger at the locket." It looks old. Can i see it?" He questioned as he reach out to touch it."
"It´s mine!" Adelaide told him as she moved her hand around the locket before she moved away from him with fear all over her face.
"I´m not going to take it from you. I just want to see it." Stefan told her as he walked closer to her.
"It´s mine, and you can´t have it!" Adelaide yelled out before she started to walk past him, but Stefan grabbed her by the arm to stop her from going anywhere." Let go of me!"
"Adelaide calm down." Stefan said as he tried to hold onto her with out huring her." Elisabeth!"
Adelaide froze." What did you call me?" She questioned.
"Let go of her!" Adelaide heard Tyler saying, and she looked over Stefan´s shoulder to see Tyler standing in the doorway to the room with an angry look on his face.
"This doesn´t concerne you Tyler." Stefan said as he kept his eyes on Adelaide.
"I said, let go of her!" Tyler growled as he walked towards Adelaide and stood between her and Stefan." You don´t touch her." Tyler warned him.
"What the hell is going on here!" Damon questioned as he walked into the room with Caroline on his arm.
"I need to get out of here." Adelaide said as she looked towards Caroline with tears in her eyes.
Caroline quickly moved towards her best friend and pulled her into her arms." What going on?" She questioned.
"I can´t breath." Adelaide said as she pulled away from Caroline as she started to breath heavily.
Damon had a bored look on his face, but as he turned towards Adelaide his eyes widened as he saw the locket that was around Adelaide´s neck." Where the hell did she get that?" Damon questioned as he turned towards Stefan for an answer, but Stefan shrugged.
"It´s mine!...I...I." Adelaide looked between the brothers and as they turned to look at her, she felt like she was being suffocated. She opened her mouth to speak." I..." But before she could say anything her legs give away from underneath her, and she heard her name being called being called before her eyes closes.
