His Wicked Temptation - K.Mikaelson

9. The Turning Point

The next morning, Lexa had gone out for a run. Logan had tried to enter their home. Now Lexa was quite sure that the e-mail to Jenna from Logan was a fake from the council to cover up him going missing, or dying in this case. So, the only possibility was that he was now a vampire. However, she knows the Salvatore's aren't idiotic enough to turn the guy. So, that means there's another vampire in town.

She pushed herself on the run. John would send her a new training schedule later. After hearing what Damon was planning from Lexa's recording, John was trying to move things around so he could return sooner. But he wanted them to push themselves even harder now. Caroline and Jeremy had been made aware of the developments after Lexa woke. She didn't want to disturb Caroline's 'date' the previous night. Jeremy was using his history project to research more to better understand vampires. They thought it would be hilarious for him to write his paper on how the town's Confederate population viewed the Unionists as 'vampires'. Lexa thought it was a great angle for his paper from a history point of view too.

It was just after seven when Lexa returned home. She'd been out since half four that morning. Sleep hadn't come easy to her, so she went on a run to clear her mind. She quickly showered and changed for the day. On the off chance she saw Logan again, Lexa packed a few discreet weapons in her bag, and hid a few in her outfit. Caroline loved to find fashion items that could hide weapons. She had taken Jeremy out to lose a few of his emo items and find more functional outfits. Jeremy was highly impressed with her skills.

On her way downstairs, Lexa poked her head in to see if Jeremy was up. He was sat at his desk, sketching for the first time in months. Lexa smiled slightly and quietly left his room, bumping into Elena. She quickly puts her finger on her lips in a shushing gesture and points into Jeremy's room. Elena pops her head round his door and backs out slowly. The twins smile at each other and head downstairs. Jenna is getting her last few items ready before she leaves.

"Jeremys got his sketchbook out again" Elena told her with a smile.

"He must have found the right inspiration" Lexa added. Jenna beamed at them.

"You're kidding?" She asked, bewildered.

"Nope. But don't say a word. The minute we encourage him, he'll put it away" Elena told them both. Lexa rolled her eyes.

"Psychology Major. Check that!" Jenna answered gleefully. Lexa smirked at her aunt playfully.

Elena keeps checking her phone. Jenna looks down at her sadly.

"You and Stefan? Update?"

Lexa had grabbed a few power bars and was listening in. She hadn't known what was said once her and Caroline left last night. Apparently, the was more relationship 'drama'. Elena had grabbed her jacket and was now buttoning it up.

"He knows how I feel, and where I stand, and I know where he stands. But it doesn't matter. He's leaving. Moving away"

Now, that was interesting. If Stefan was moving away, was Damon? She hoped so. Or there was a stake - or two - with his name on.

"Where's he going?"

"I've stopped asking questions. The answers get scary"

"How would asking him where he was moving, get a scary answer?" Lexa asked innocently. Elena stiffened but rolled her eyes at her twin. Lexa had to hold back a scoff of disbelief.

"You coming too?" Jenna asked Lexa who was still in the kitchen.

"I'm waiting for Jer. I'm giving him a lift to school. I'll see you later" Lexa told her aunt with a smile. Jenna nodded her head and headed out the door with Elena. Jeremy appeared a few minutes later.
