Sorry For Existing

The Waiting Game And Part Of The Truth

Hello! Happy New Year! Sorry for not uploading more often but I have been feeling generally unmotivated.

I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Morning came and she woke up to Damon shaking her asking her if she slept in those chairs all night. She said she did and that she had slept in worse places. Then accepted the coffee and asked if they were any news.

"Yeah, things are looking bad, so I gave her my blood. Hopefully it helps." Damon said gently and she nodded.

"Thank you for yesterday." Damon added quietly and she nodded again as she got up and tried to fix her clothes and stretch her body.

Stefan then appeared with various vending machine snacks and handed them to her friends who were also waking up.

Stefan then told her that they need to talk in the Boarding House when Slater texted her, he too had left the town for a few days, that his contacts told him that Katherine was in town.

"Yeah, we do." Elena said troubled.

After asking from Jeremy to call her with any news she went with the brothers to their house.

"Katherine is here, in town. I was just told by one of my contacts." Elena stated the moment the door shut behind Stefan.

"That's what we need to talk about; your contacts...how did you acquired them?" Damon started the conversation.

"It's a very long story but I told you that it's not safe for me to talk now." Elena stated and Damon rolled his eyes.

"This house is the safest place!" Damon exclaimed and Elena laughed out loud then said;

"In this house there are about 486 bugs transmitting live since 1969, guys...it's the least safe place." Elena said as she took her phone out and pressed the bug scanning device and then showed it to the brothers.

"The red lights are the indication of a bug, camera or microphone." Elena explained and then went and dislodged it from behind a painting.

After that they spent hours debugging the place. Once it was debugged they sat in the living room sipping water and Bourbon.

"So, are you going to tell us what is happening? How do you know Enzo?" Damon pressed and Elena sighed. She wasn't about to spill the beans because she didn't want to. Also, she wasn't going to get the satisfaction away from Enzo to make his big reveal. Also, also, she had already told them she couldn't tell them; she had set boundaries and they were pressing them! Trying to get what they wanted no matter what she said! It was expected to be honest...

"No, I'm not because I already told you that I can't tell you and you'll have to respect it." Elena set her foot down, her voice became weird and made Elena frown, it's like she sounded older more grave.

It felt odd because the voice reminded her of the episodes she used to have, she had theorized that it was her higher self speaking through her or a future version or an ancestor or guardian.

"Okay don't tell us what is going on, tell us how you know Enzo at least!" Damon exclaimed angrily and Elena felt Finn standing behind her and her magic bubbling to the surface as she sensed danger.

"I know him since I was eight he has been my family since then, why? Do you know each other?" Elena semi-lied and faked confusion as she frowned.

"What?" Damon looked taken aback just then her phone rang and it was Slater.

"I'm sorry, I have to take this." She said as she rushed out of the house and did a quick silencing spell before answering.

"Can't talk, I will call you back once I'm at home." She said quickly before hanging up. She deactivated the spell and turn around to see Stefan and Damon watching her from a distance.
