"Hey, is she gonna be okay?" I ask when Elena closes the door to Jenna's gonna be staying at, "She's in shock. I tried to tell her as much as I could, but I barely scratched the surface"
I sighed and start feelings tears well up in my eyes "Oh god, I hate this"
"I know, and it's my fault" said Elena, I gave her a frown because none of this was her fault.
"Anyway I have to go back to Elijah" She said and started going.
"Wait? What? No!" I exclaimed dragging her back
"Ariel, I promised Elijah that I would return, I can't break that promise"
I sighed and wiped my tears, she was going to go, and there's probably nothing I can do to stop her. "I'll be okay, thank you for being such a concerned sister"
I tried to smile "Concerned older sister" She chuckled and I embraced her.
"Just be careful" She nodded
"I will"
I smiled once more as she started walking down the hall headed to the door.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Asked Damon as he turned the corner with Andie on his tail, "Back to Elijah"
Damon used his speed to block her path
"No"
"Get out of my way Damon-" Elena said with a grunt when he grabbed her by the arms
"If you so much as try to take a step out of this house..." Damon said all threat like
"Damon easy" Said Andie from behind him with a soothing voice
"Stay out of this Andie"
I sighed and put my hands on my hips and annoyed "Damon" I said sternly.
"Let her go," Stefan said, walking in and looking at his brother. Elena looked up at Damon all smug like
"Are you kidding me? We just got her back"
Stefan grabbed his brothers arm, and Damon looked down at his hand on his arm in fury
"You heard me. I said let her go"
Elena really tried to hide her smile as she was glad Stefan was on her side
"That's twice today, you've stood in my way. I wouldn't try a third"
...............
"Tired of your little play thing already?" I hear Stefan ask Damon as I'm about to enter the library, I pause in my step and just stay by the door, hearing what they're about to say.
"Don't start with me, Stefan. She's just my distraction." Damon replies, well that's just bad.
Stefan scoffs, "She's a person. You're victimizing her."
Damon looks at his brother. "You should be thankful she's here. She keeps me from going for what I really want."
Oh no.
Stefan turns around to him. "You're right. Thank you for being in love with my girlfriend."
Damon puts his glass on the table beside him and gets up.
"And there it is."
"There it is." Stefan says as he takes steps to him.
"You know, you can be in love with Elena all you want...If it means that you'll protect her. But I have the one thing that you never will."
"Oh, yeah? What's that?" Damon questions.
"Her respect."
That does it because Damon gets so furious, he punches Stefan so hard that he flies into a bookshelf and breaks it.
"Damon!" I scold as I run in. Stefan gets up and rushes over to Damon and they grab each other by the shoulders, trying to harm one another.
"Enough!" I yell as I get a hold of their arms and push them away from each other.
I look at them with bewilderment
"You two are brothers! So start acting like it!"
They keep staring at each other but lower their gaze and turn away from each other.
I shake my head a bit disappointed and I'm about to storm out of the room when I freeze in my spot because Elijah is standing with Elena by the banister. The brothers turn as well, stopping in place and looking at Elijah standing in parlor room in shock.
"Now you've invited him in?" Damon questions/scolds, staring at Elijah.
"Elijah and I have renewed the terms of our deal." Elena explains.
"Really?"
"The three of you will come to no harm at my hands. I only ask for one thing in return."
"What?" Stefan asked as the boys took a spot next to me.
Elijah takes strides to us. "An apology."
Damon looks between me and Stefan, our expressions just as confused.
"A what?"
Stefan walks closer to them, ready to apologize. "I'm sorry for the part that I played in your death. I was protecting Elena. I will always protect Elena." Stefan says which makes Elena smile.
"I understand." I sigh and take steps toward him.
"I'm sorry I put a dagger through your heart"
He nodded his head in acceptance and suddenly all eyes are on Damon, waiting for him to apologize.
"The sacrifice is going to happen, Damon. Bonnie will be able to kill Klaus without hurting herself and Elijah knows how to save my life. I told you I'd find another way. And I did." Elena defends herself, standing proud next to Elijah.
Damon bores his eyes into Elijah. "Is that true?"
Elijah nods. "It is." Damon looks back at Elena.
"And you're trusting him?"
Elena nods. "I am."
Damon scowls. "You can all go to hell." He leaves and I can't help but feel pity. Stefan looks over at Elijah.
"He's angry with me right now. But he'll come around."
"Perhaps."
