The book of Ellie (remake)

Twenty-Seven

I walk into Damon's room and excitedly plop down onto his bed. I probably shouldn't be in here, but I don't care.

I hear his footsteps approaching but I don't move from my spot. His king sized bed is so comfortable, I can't move my spot.

He walks in and lays down next to me in his bed.

"I'm going to have to change the locks." He says with a sigh. He then takes a sip of his drink that he has in his hand.

I chuckle. "Yeah, I think you should."

"So I heard that you got kidnapped by Anna," Damon starts, "Are you okay?"

"Be careful Damon. It sounds like you care about me," I tell him sarcastically.

"Believe it or not, Eleanor, I do care about you. She didn't hurt you or anything?"

"No...she actually didn't," I start, "She was nicer than I thought she'd be. She was still a bitch, but she wasn't a bitch towards me." I rest my head on Damon's shoulder.

"She also said that she didn't want to kill me because she wanted me to meet Katherine before I died," I tell him.

Damon takes another sip of his drink.

"But I don't want to talk about that," I quickly change the subject, "let's talk about something else."

"Well we can talk about how we're going to open the tomb tonight," Damon tells me.

"Wait...we're opening it tonight?" I ask unenthusiastically.

"Yes we are. Katherine will be out by tonight!" Damon tells me excitedly.

I wish I could be more excited...but I'm not. Damon and I have become so close lately, I don't want this to ruin us. I know this will ruin us.

"Well then...what are we waiting for?" I ask him with fake enthusiasm.

We walk through the cemetery, there's a party going on. The music's super loud and there's teenagers everywhere.

Who the hell parties in a cemetery?

"So are Stefan and Elena actually going to help us this time?" I ask Damon as we walk through the party.

"Yeah they are. And I actually believe them this time," Damon tells me.

"Well then this is really happening!" I exclaim grabbing onto Damon's arm excitedly. "Come on Damon, get excited!"

"I am excited," he defends, "I'm just nervous too. I've waited over 100 years for this moment, I just don't want anyone or anything to screw it up."

I nod my head. I didn't even think about Damon being nervous. He has waited all this time to see Katherine, I'd be nervous too.

Suddenly a familiar voice calls out my name and I turn around and see a Caroline and Matt holding hands as they walk towards us.

"Hey you guys," I greet as they reach us.

"Hey, Ellie. Where've you been? Where's Elena at?" Caroline asks me.

"Long story, no time to tell it. We've got to get going," Damon cuts in.

"I wasn't talking to you," Caroline says glaring at Damon.

"Sure you were," Damon replies with an eye roll. Matt let's go of Caroline's hand and puts it out for Damon to shake.

"I'm Matt," he says politely, "I don't think we've met yet."
