Reincarnated Love

Chapter 20: Memory Lane & Kill or Be Killed

EDITED OCT22

*********************

Elena and Brea sat in the Grill in silence. Elena was studying and Brea was looking over a book on Petrova family history that Elena had gotten from Damon when the two of them went to visit Duke.

"Are you ever going to put that down?" Elena asked not looking up from her studies.

"Nope. It's amazing. Look, it's me," she said pointing to a drawing of her and Katherine with, who she assumed, were her parents of the time.

"I'm trying to study, Brea," Elena huffed.

"Well you spoke to me first," Brea muttered under her breath.

Brea glanced up from her book when she saw someone slide into the seat opposite her only to glare when she saw it was Damon. While Brea scowled at him, Damon gave her a small wave with his fingers causing Brea to slam the book closed in anger making Elena jump and notice Damon.

"Go away," Brea snapped at him.

"What do you want?" Elena asked.

"So this is where you two spend your time when one of you isn't stabbing people in the back," Damon noted looking around. Elena had to play a trick on him in order to get the Petrova book from him. He was still a little pissed.

"Oh screw you," Brea snapped. "She did the right thing, you ass."

Elena gave Brea a look to be quiet and then sighed, "I tricked you into telling me the truth. That's not stabbing you in the back. It's using your own tactics against you." Elena clicked her pen closed and gestured to Brea that they were going to leave.

"Where are you two going?" Damon asked, a smirk still plastered on his face.

"I made myself clear, Damon," Elena scolded. "I want nothing to do with you."

Damon then turned his smirk to Brea and she glared. "I stand with good old Elena here. You killed my brother. You're an ass." Brea shot one last smirk before walking away with Elena.

"Ok. See you at Jenna's barbecue," Damon mused, making the girls freeze in their place.

The twins both slowly turned around and Elena asked, "how did you know about Jenna's barbecue?"

"It was my idea," he said. "Jenna went to high school with Mason Lockwood. So I figured a social gathering would be a good way to get to know the guy. So I told Ric, to tell Jenna..."

"1. Leave Mason alone," Brea spat interrupting his speech. "2. Does Jenna know that you're going to be there? Because she's not exactly a fan of yours, we've spoken about you in depth."

A waitress then came over and placed a box in front of Damon. "Perfect. Thank you," he smiled at her. "I'm hoping this peach cobbler will pave the way," he said to the girls before standing up.

"Dammit. Jenna loves peach cobbler," Brea muttered.

"What are you up to?" Elena asked.

"I'm gonna put some silver into Mason Lockwood and prove he's a werewolf."

"No you are not," Brea hissed turning to face him.

Damon just smirked. "See you both at the barbecue."

"I hate him. I hate him," Brea hissed to her sister.

Elena and Brea were helping Jenna set up for her barbecue, Brea was still in a bad mood from their confrontation with Damon earlier. "Thanks for letting us invite Caroline," Elena said to try to break the silence. "She could use a day of distraction."
