Who we need to be to survive. (Emily Gilbert pt. 2)

Denver

I turn in my bed when the space next to me sinks. I wana sleep. "Get out.." I groan without opening my eyes. "Rise and shine." The familiar voice greets and I could just hear Stefan's smirk. Oh yeah I forgot this is still mildly dimmed switch Stefan. Whatever I like him better. I open my eyes and glance across at him. He's laying their coolly with his hands behind his head.

I prop myself up on my elbows and look across at him cocking an eyebrow. "You forget where your room is?"

"No....but Elena and you should go get Jeremy today since Klaus now knows his location." He suggests and I get off of the bed. "Did you suggest this to Elena?" I ask and he hums nodding. "She's up for it....but...." he trails and I stop in my tracks. I narrow my eyes slowly glancing at him. "But what?"

He sighs. "Damon's going with you."

"What? Why?"

"Because he insisted and I wasn't in the mood to argue with him." He shrugs and I roll my eyes giving up. "Whatever hopefully he decided he loves Elena again and he leaves me alone." I say walking over to my dresser but I catch the reflection of Stefan's face when I say that. Oops.

"Shit...sorry.." I quickly add but he just gives a small fake smile. As a result of this there's a few moments of awkward silence until Stefan coughs awkwardly. "Okay so  you guys will go get Jeremy and I will look after Rick.." he states getting off of the bed.

"Nice plan but what happens if Eileen comes after you?" I ask. Last night we told Stefan about Eileen and all that and he told us about the daggers that they created to kill Klaus and about the sire line.

"I'll handle her if she does." He replies simply which I roll my eyes at. "Appreciate your confidence but she's not Katherine.... and no offense but you could've hardly fought her."

"You really are the sensitive type." I remarks dryly and I shoot a charming smile at him which makes him roll his eyes. "Fine....I'll take Isabelle with me." He decides. I smile triumphantly. "Okay."

After Stefan left my room I took a bath and packed my luggage. After I changed into black leggings and a black lace crop top. I slip on my heeled ankle boots quickly run a brush through my hair. When I'm finished I put on my leather jacket and slip my phone into my back pocket before leaving my room to go downstairs. When I walk downstairs Isabelle is already there and eating a bowl of cereal.

I walk into the kitchen and take my ice cream out of the freezer. "Really?" She looks between me and my ice cream. "Ice cream for breakfast." She judges and I flash a fake hurt look. "Don't judge my ice cream.....you'll hurt it's feelings."

"Where's Stefan?" I ask changing the topic from my very amazing delicious ice cream. "Upstairs." She answers and I roll my eyes. "And they say girls take hours to get ready."

"Love you too Emmy." I hear him sarcastically say. I hear his voice before I even see him until he walks into the kitchen and steals a scoop of my ice cream. I narrow my eyes at him as he moves around the kitchen. It feels good to have him back... ew Emmy don't get all mushy now.

I take a bloodbag out of the fridge and put my ice cream away. "You finally ready to leave?" I urge at both of them.

"You still you or..." I trail looking at Ric through the cell doors. Stefan is upstairs in the living room.

"Yep." He sighs so I unlock the door and walk inside.

"You know, you shouldn't be in here..." he says. "It defeats the point of the whole being locked in a cellar thing."

"Not gona lie...I'm kind of offended that I haven't met alter ego you." I shrug. "Believe me, it's a good thing you didn't." He replies softly and in time for this to not get awkward I hear Elena approaching. I look around and she's walking into the room with a bag. "Well the less interesting sister is here now..." I fake wince at Ric. "See ya Ric." I flash a smile and then a charming one at Elena before leaving the room and walking upstairs. As I reach upstairs I see Damon enter the living room. Can't avoid him forever can I.
