Elena's POV
The drive was quiet at times and at other times was full of questions from both Stefan and I. After a while we were able to piece a lot of things together. When the car finally started to slow down we were pulling into a driveway to a beautiful two story house. It was simple so....human.
Stefan:"You ready?"
Elena:"Yes and No."
He smiled gently at me for a second and then the bright headlights of Damon's car pulling up behind us grabbed our attention. Stefan turned back to me and I to him as he gave my hand a gentle squeeze before getting out of the car. I reached for the door to get out, but Stefan had beat me to it and opened my door for me; once again reminding me of how things used to be. Lexi had rushed over to us and Damon followed helping her carry some of her things.
Stefan:"Why don't we get some of this inside."
He took the bags that Lexi was holding and tilted his head toward Damon. They Both walked toward the house while Lexi and I followed closely behind.
Damon:"Well, I'll let you guys have some bonding time."
Stefan:"Thanks man, we'll see you tomorrow."
Elena:"Goodnight, Damon."
Lexi:"Goodnight, Uncle Damon."
Damon:"Goodnight, you two."
Damon leaves and Lexi, Stefan, and I are left standing in silence. After a few seconds, Stefan breaks the silence. Like he has been for most of the night."
Stefan:"Alight Lex, Why don't you head on up to bed?"
Lexi:"Dad I just turned Eighteen I'm not a kid anymore."
Stefan:"No, but you are my daughter and I think you and I can both agree that tonight got out of hand. You did a lot of things that we'll discuss in the morning but for now you should head to bed."
I see Lexi lower her head in defeat and I begin to wonder what Stefan is referring to, but I don't ask any questions o the spot.
Lexi:"Okay."
Elena:"I'll see you in the morning, Okay?"
Lexi:"Okay mom, Goodnight."
She gives me a tight hug almost as if she were afraid to let go. Then, hesitantly, she gives Stefan a hug and wishes him a goodnight before heading up the stairs.
Stefan:"Would you like some coffee?"
Elena:"I would love some actually."
He lead me into the kitchen and started a pot of water on the stove.
Elena:"So what are you going to tell Lexi tomorrow about what happened tonight?"
Stefan:"Honestly, I have no idea. We've talked about it before I explained why we didn't want her drinking human blood and even what a Ripper is, but I know I didn't handle it well tonight."
Elena:"Can I ask? When did you tell her?"
Stefan:"When she turned Eleven. I didn't want to tell her before that since I thought it was still too soon, but once she hit Eleven she had a lot of questions."
I nodded to show that I was understanding what he was saying.
Stefan:"She's always been a smart kid we know that and she's been just as smart if not more over the years, so it makes me think something else was going on. She knows better."
Elena:"And it's scary because that 'something else' might just be the Ripper in her."
Stefan:"God, I hope not."
