Evelyn Gilbert (TVD)

Under Control

(Edited)

While Damon was driving Elena to the boarding house, Elena fed Evelyn her blood. Once they arrived, Elena asked Damon, if he could drop Evelyn off at their house. Evelyn is lying down on her bed, still unconscious, when Elena walks into her room, worrying about Jeremy, who heard about Vicki. Elena sits by Evelyn's side, holding her hand, waiting for her to wake up. After a while, Evelyn gasps awake.

"Evelyn, oh, my god. Are you okay?" Elena quickly asks. Evelyn looks around, not knowing where she is. "Hey, it's okay. You're home," Elena reassures, pulling her up to hug her. Evelyn catches her breath, calming down. "What happened?" Elena asks as she pulls away.

Evelyn shakes her head, giving her a small smile. "Don't worry about it. I'm okay," Evelyn says, not wanting her to worry. She gets up and changes out of her bloody clothes. "So, what did I miss while I was out?" She questions, changing the subject. Elena stays silent, thinking if she should tell her about Vicki.

"Um, they found Vicki," she informs.

Evelyn turns around. "How's Jeremy?" She asks. "Never mind. Stupid question, the person he liked died, of course, he's going to be sad." She shakes her head.

Elena furrows her eyebrows. "I never said she died. How did you know?" She questions.

"Well, the tone of your voice told me. And because...I was there when Stefan..." she trails off.

"You were there?" Elena asks.

"Yeah, I was worried about Jeremy, so I followed his voice and heard you scream. By the time I got there, Stefan had already...staked her," she answers honestly.

"How did you–" Evelyn cuts her off.

"Why don't we talk about this tomorrow? It's already late. I'll answer all the questions you have. I promise." She holds out her pinky. Elena takes it with her own, and then they interlock their index fingers and lock the promise by pressing their thumbs together. "Get some rest, okay." Elena nods, getting up from the bed.

"You get some rest, too. I'm glad you're okay," Elena says before leaving the room. Once she hears Elena in her room, she drops her smile and shudders, thinking about what she went through.

"Come on, Jeremy. Going to school. Walking out the door now," I hear Elena say as I walk down the stairs with my bag hanging off my shoulder.

"What about Evelyn?" Jeremy asks.

"I'm already walking down the stairs," I yell as I approach the door. Elena opens the door, and we are face-to-face with Uncle John.

"Elena, Evelyn." Uncle John smiles.

I give him a fake smile. "Uncle John. What a surprise." I slam the door on his face. "Alright, let's go out the back door," I say, about to walk away, but Elena grabs my arm, stopping me.

Elena opens the door. "Uncle John. Hi." Elena says with a forced smile as Jenna comes to the door.

"Jenna." He smiles.

"John. You made it." She puts her hands on her hips.

"I said I'd be in by noon," John says, walking inside.

"Oh, what you say and what you do are typically two very different things," she tells him.

"Uncle John. What's up?" Jeremy walks downstairs and pats his back before leaving.

"I had some business in town. I thought a visit was in order," John explains.

"You know, I think we would have been good without a visit." I smile.
