I was in my room with Elena and Bonnie while Anna was taking a shower. We still hadn't talked about last night. I knew that tonight was a full moon, meaning Tyler would turn into a wolf tonight, but I was sure what we were doing about that. Did I forget to mention that he accidentally killed someone at the masquerade, because he did? I heard that Caroline was doing something with him. All I knew was that I didn't want to be with him. I was wearing a black tee and a black plaid skirt. I was ready to go outside on this beautiful day.
"So, what are we doing to get Stefan out of the tomb?" I questioned. I figured that should be our top priority for the day. I really did not want him in that tomb with Katherine any longer than he had to be.
"We're not focusing on getting him out of the tomb right now." Bonnie declared. Why not? She seemed to not be focused on the goal.
"We need to get him out of the tomb before we do anything else!" I argued. There was no telling what Katherine would do to him in there. I knew that she wouldn't kill him, but she had could do much worse to him.
"Right now, we're going to break the spell on the moonstone." She explained before she left the room. I still didn't know why they all seemed so set on that stupid idea that would get them all killed.
"So, tell me why you're not focused on trying to save yourself like we are?" Elena asked me. I was more focused on getting Stefan out of the tomb because that was the more pressing issue. We could figure out how to kill Klaus later. Right now, we need to focus on saving Stefan.
"I don't want to die, but I don't want Stefan stuck in the tomb and that is something that we can deal with now." I pointed out before Elena too left the room. It was at that point that I noticed that Bonnie's bag was still in the room. I decided to look through it and pulled out the moonstone. I needed to deal with it quickly. I put it in my own bag and quickly descended the stairs. I put on some pink heels as I reached the bottom. I normally didn't like to wear heels, but they were the first pair of shoes that I could find, and I needed to get out the door before she noticed that I had stolen the moonstone from her
"Where are you going?" Bonnie asked me curiously. I needed to do my best not to act suspicious.
"I needed to go down to the bank." I declared. I wasn't lying since I planned on putting the stone in the deposit box. I would also have to go pretty quickly in order to get there before they closed.
"She took the moonstone." Elena said from the top of the stairs. Damn it. Had she also checked Bonnie's bag.
"You just failed our test." Bonnie replied. They couldn't have possibly expected me to just take the moonstone.
"I'm not letting you destroy the stone." I declared. "Klaus will kill you if you do that."
"Okay, go ahead, walk out the door." Bonnie stated. Was she seriously giving up? I opened the door and walked out…or at least tried to. I found that I was trapped inside. What the fuck?
"What's going on?" I questioned. "Did you cast a spell to trap me here?"
"We can't have you interfering." Bonnie declared before Anna came down the stairs. I knew what I had to do. Even if we weren't really talking, I knew that this was something that I could count on her for.
"Take this and hide it." I replied as I threw the stone to her. We may not have agreed about last night, but we did agree that the stone should stay as it was. Anna tried to rush out the door, but she too found herself stopped. Okay, they were more thorough than I thought they would be. I c couldn't believe that they would predict that I would try to give it to Anna. Was I that predictable?
"We thought of that too." Elena added before Bonnie cast a spell, making Anna grab her head in pain, causing her to drop the stone. She then picked it up off the floor.
"Klaus will kill you guys." Anna told them as she rubbed her skull. "Mary has just as much right to want to keep her loved ones alive as she does to want to keep herself alive."
"Your opinion doesn't matter." Bonnie declared before she walked outside. I couldn't help but pout. I couldn't believe that I was trapped inside on such a beautiful day. Anna took a seat next to me on the couch. She was wearing a sexy black long-sleeved dress with a leather collar. It looked like we would definitely have time to resolve any differences that we had. Another thing that I couldn't help but wonder was if Elena and Bonnie were hooking up. Elena took a seat on the couch and the first thing that I did was shove her to the floor. She took the hint and decided to leave the two of us alone.
"So do you wanna watch a movie or something?" Anna asked me. I didn't know what we would even watch. Part of me thought that I should just change into pajamas since I wouldn't be able to leave.
"Maybe we should talk about that fight last night." I replied. I knew that it was a good idea for us to clear the air since it had been our first fight, even the two of us were only friends. I didn't think us being trapped in the house would lead to me doing anything with her. "I'm sorry for making you worry like that."
"Well, I may have overreacted a little bit." She admitted. This was why we needed to talk, so we could both let out our feelings. God, I sounded like such a girl. "I know that you weren't trying to get yourself killed. I just thought that you needed to know how important you are to me."
"I do know, but I do think that it wouldn't hurt for you to branch out a little because I shouldn't be the only person important to you. Try to see if you can find someone to date." I suggested. If the two of us weren't going to be together, she should probably try to find another girlfriend.
"It's just hard to be in a relationship with someone when you're a vampire." She replied. I mean I had been in one and half relationships with vampires. "Not as many people are as accepting of it as you are, and there's also the fact that Mystic Falls isn't exactly the most gay-friendly town in the US."
"It's kind of ironic because I would think that there would be more gay people than there are vampires." I joked. I had no idea which group had more members.
"Well, there isn't really a vampire census." She replied with a giggle. I was pretty sure that some vampires would go all Hannibal Lecter if someone tried to count them for a census. Still, I did wish I knew how many there were.
"Are you two going to hug or not?" Elena asked from the kitchen. I got up and embraced my best friend. I did also roll my eyes at the fact that she was eavesdropping on us.
"So how about that movie?" I replied. It was that I got an idea. Technically, it was her idea, but I wasn't sure if she had actually been serious about it. "Why don't we go through that vampire movie marathon that we never got around to having?"
"That sounds good to me." The vampire stated. I couldn't help but smile. There was probably no one else that I would rather be stuck with…I was pretty sure that was including Stefan because there was only so much that I could do with him. "Just know that if you put Twilight in, you'll probably have to deal with my hysterical laughter."
"I was thinking something sexier, like From Dusk Till Dawn." I responded as I went and grabbed the movie. It was probably also the only movie where Quentin Tarantino plays a starring role.
"If you want sexy, you should watch True Blood." She suggested.
"I would, but I'm not old enough to buy the DVD. Maybe you can get it sometime when we get out of this house?" I told her. "Also, True Blood isn't a movie."
I had to admit that I was glad that she was here with me. It was making me less upset about being trapped in my own house.
"You know since we can't leave, let's just go put on some pajamas for this." I suggested. I knew that Anna did have some pajamas because Jenna had bought some for her after she moved in.
The two of us went upstairs and got changed. Our pajamas did match. Mine were pink and hers were fittingly blood red. The two of us then took a seat back on the couch and started the movie. There wasn't any popcorn because it was too early for that.
"So, tonight is a full moon." I stated. I didn't know why I was stating the obvious, because I was pretty sure that she already knew about that.
"You know it probably would have been better to open the tomb on the full moon." Anna opined. I listened intently. I was hoping that she would have told me why. "Bonnie's grandma probably would have lived even."
"What are you talking about?" I asked in confusion. I figured that I needed to get her to clarify.
"Witches can channel celestial events like say a comet in the sky or a full moon. When I was learning magic, I used to do that." She explained. She never told me that she used to be a witch. "Bonnie definitely could get Stefan out of there if she channeled the moon."
"Does she know that?" I questioned.
"I don't know. I don't really talk to her." She answered. At that point, the door opened, and Damon walked in. He always had the tendency to show up at the worst possible time.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him. I wanted to cover my bare feet up.
"I'm just checking on the jailbirds." He quipped. "Had I known it would turn into a slumber party, I would have brought a sleeping bag."
"I'm glad to know that you think this is so funny." I responded as he took a seat next to me. I scowled. I did not want to be next to him because he was also making it hard to focus on the movie.
"Yes, I think it's hilarious that I have to keep rescuing you." He remarked. "It is definitely the highlight of my life."
"You know we were watching a movie, so you can shut up." Anna commented. I wondered if she would be able to throw him out. I was pretty sure that she was strong enough to do so, but I didn't know if the spell would prevent him from doing it.
"What are we watching?" Damon asked before he looked at the screen. "Ooh I love the part where Salma Hayek dances with the snake."
"You know I didn't take you as someone who would watch vampire movies." I declared. Of course, Damon had some of the most random interests.
"I like to know how we're being represented in the media." He explained. "That Meyer chick could not have been more wrong."
"The vampires aren't even the important part." I declared. I knew that I had to try to sell it. "The themes are everlasting love, not having sex until marriage, and not getting abortions…okay those are kind of bad."
"Now do you see why I find it so hilarious?" Anna quipped. "Though, I will say one thing: that cast is very pretty. I never knew how much I wanted to have sex with Dakota Fanning."
"Did you have that dream too?" I asked her. I noticed they were staring at me. Also, it was The Runaways that made me have the dream. "What she's hot and she's my age. There's nothing wrong with me wanting to have sex with her."
"I think it's a first sign of bisexuality." Damon commented. No, the first sign was me being attracted to Stefan.
"Fuck you." I cursed. Not to mention, I already knew that I was bisexual. I wondered if Stefan had told why we broke up. "Don't you have somewhere else to be? It's not like we need a babysitter."
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I have a werewolf that I probably need to deal with." Damon declared. "It seems that Mason had a girlfriend that's come looking for him."
It made me glad that Anna and I were stuck inside, and Stefan was inside of the tomb. It left less people to worry about being bitten by werewolves. I was a little bit worried about Caroline and Damon, but I didn't have anything that I could do to protect them. Caroline likely knew what she was doing. Damon…well he was probably dumb enough to piss off a werewolf on a full moon. If he died, it would probably be his own fault. I would like to be able to save him, but I couldn't do so while we were stuck in the house.
After he was gone, we started our second movie, a Swedish movie called Let the Right One In. It was about a young female vampire who had been given a sex change before being turned and the boy that she fell in love with…at least that's what I thought it was about. I didn't exactly speak Swedish. I could see why I connected to it, even though I wasn't a vampire. The two of us shared a bowl of popcorn. I really was not used to having popcorn before the sun went down, but I liked being able to share it with my best friend.
"So, you never told me that you used to be a witch." I remarked.
"You've never asked me about my life before I was a vampire. It wasn't that exciting really. The only other notable thing was that I would get irrationally angry during full moons." She answered. "But like I said, it's really not that important.
That night after we had had some leftover pizza from the kitchen, we went to see if the spell was still in effect. After finding that it was, we found Jenna getting some stuff out of the closet underneath the stairs. I never found out why we had a closet underneath the stairs.
"What are you doing under there?" I questioned. She didn't seem to question why I was wearing my pajamas.
"I'm helping this writer who has taken interest in our town for some book that he's writing." She explained as she pulled a box out and closed the door…to reveal Elijah. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. She had invited him in.
"Hi, I'm Elijah." He greeted us. I was kind of terrified. Maybe it would be a good idea to tell Jenna about vampires so she wouldn't invite everyone in.
"What's the book about?" I questioned. I wanted to try to act as natural as possible.
"It's about rural Virginia and some of the local legends." He stated. I knew that he was using it as a cover, but if he actually did write that, I would probably read it, especially if it was fiction.
"So do you mean the vampires?" Anna asked. It must have been awkward to act like the two of them weren't related.
"That's just one of the legends that I was going to go into." Elijah remarked. I would have also been interested in having a discussion about it. I really was a nerd, wasn't I? "You know this town has a rich history of folklore."
"Well, I can help you take this stuff out to your car if you want." Jenna stated, clearly not interested in the supernatural stuff.
"Or I could pick it up tomorrow." Elijah suggested. I still wasn't sure what his game was. Why wouldn't he just take it now? Did that mean that he would be coming back tomorrow?
"That works too." Jenna agreed. He made it seem like he was just going to leave, even though technically, he could come back any time that he wanted now that he had been invited.
"Thank you for your help, Jenna." He told her. It did seem like he knew how to charm a person. "And thank you for inviting me into your home. It's very lovely."
Elijah walked away and she turned to me.
"You know that's the kind of guy that makes you wish that you weren't already in a relationship." She declared.
"I have to say that I prefer you with Ric more." I responded. I definitely not want her to date him, but I wasn't even sure if he would be interested in her.
From there, the two of us headed up to our room. I couldn't help but wonder if I should take a shower or not, since it was basically just one of those days where I hadn't done anything. I decided to go to the closet and that was where we found Elijah. I prepared to scream, but he put his finger on my lips. At that point, Elena opened her door. I was pretty sure that she couldn't see him because he was hidden behind the door.
"Is everything okay? You look spooked." She asked. I had to lie because I didn't want him to hurt her.
"Yes, everything's fine." I lied before Elena closed her door and went back into her room.
"We need to talk." Elijah stated. At that point, we walked into my room. I felt pretty nervous.
"What are you doing here?" I asked. The fact that he hadn't just rushed me out the door made me feel that he actually was protecting me last night. I still didn't understand why though.
"Well, first I need to express my disappointment in your recent expedition." He replied. Was everyone going to scold me for that? It just went poorly. "I would also like to say hello you, Annabelle."
"Why did you kill those vampires that wanted to take me to Klaus?" I questioned, deciding not to dance around it anymore.
"Because I didn't want you to be taken." He answered. Okay, that did confirm it, but I needed to find out why. "You assume that I want to assist Klaus in performing the sacrifice, but that is not the case. My brother is the most powerful and most feared of all of the Originals, but those who fear him really want to get in his good graces. If word got out that there was a doppelganger, scores of vampires would be lining up and I just can't have that."
I could agree that I did not want scores of vampires coming after me. That would be pretty difficult to deal with.
"Do you even know where he is?" Anna asked. I hadn't considered that possibility. Maybe the two of them weren't that close.
"No, we used to be close, but now he only trusts those in his immediate circle, which I am no longer part of." Elijah explained. I kind of wanted what had resulted in the two of them having a falling out. Did they fight like Stefan and Damon? "Though, I do have a plan to find him, so I'm prepared to offer you a deal."
"What's the deal?" I questioned. It probably would be a good idea to be on the same side as him, but I would need to know what he wanted in return from me.
"Do nothing." He instructed. What? "Just stay here and stop doing things that could get you killed. When the time is right, you and I will draw Klaus out and kill him and in exchange for your help, I will guarantee that your loved ones will remain unharmed."
"How do you plan on doing that?" I inquired. It definitely sounded appealing that he wanted to protect me and my friends and family.
"I understand that your friend Bonnie possesses the gift of magic." He stated. It seemed like he had done his research. It might be closer to consider Bonnie an acquaintance. I wasn't sure if I was her friend. "I too have friends with similar gifts. So do we have a deal?"
"Can I have a minute to think about it?" I questioned. I also had this weird image of him giving me a fist bump if I agreed to it. He went out my window, leaving the two of us alone. I looked over to Anna, hoping to hear her thoughts on it.
"He's too valuable of an ally to pass up." Anna remarked. "Take it."
"Wait, I have an idea." I replied. There was something that I needed to happen, especially since Bonnie didn't seem to want to do it. "I have my answer."
He came back into the room, and I looked him in the eye. I knew that he wouldn't be able to compel me, and I was also pretty sure that he didn't want to compel me, but I was still a little afraid of him doing it. He was one of only two people to compel me and the first person to do it had really fucked up my life, though that also wasn't solely because of the compulsion considering that she had made me the one everyone wanted.
"I have one amendment." I stated. I hoped that he wouldn't have a problem doing it. It really didn't seem like something that would require a lot of effort, and it needed to be done.
"You're negotiating now?" He asked in disbelief.
"Stefan is trapped in the tomb beneath Fell's Church. If your witches can get him out, I will accept the deal." I told him.
"I'll see to it." He replied as he held his hand out. I shook it, hoping it was the right decision. Granted, it wouldn't actually be official until I saw Stefan out of the tomb. I was pretty sure that was how it worked. An agreement couldn't happen unless all parties lived up to their ends of the bargain.
Later, I was preparing to go to bed. Anna was brushing her teeth. She didn't need to brush her teeth, but I was pretty sure that she did it to seem more normal. I knew that she liked being a vampire, but she also liked to act like a regular teenager sometimes and there was nothing wrong with that. It was at that time that Stefan came in through my window. I wrapped him in a tight hug.
"How did you get me out of the tomb?" He questioned. I thought Elijah would have told him that. I also hoped that it didn't mean that Katherine was out of the tomb.
"I made a deal with Elijah, he said that in exchange for my help in bringing him here, he's going to kill him." I told him. He didn't look very happy about the fact that I had made a deal with Elijah. I wasn't entirely sure if I should trust him "This will work."
"Well, I just wanted to see you, but I think I'm going to go home." He replied. He probably wanted to take a shower.
"Okay, I love you." I told him.
"I love you too." He reciprocated before he left.
So Mary and Anna had a bit of a pajama party and Mary also didn't notice the wording of Elijah's offer. How will that affect things? Please don't forget to review.
