Allure of Darkness: TVD [2]✓

Chapter Fourteen

Gemma woke up the next day and saw Stefan was still sleeping beside her. She got up and changed into some clothes for the day. When she walked back into her room, she saw Stefan was getting out of bed.

"Let me get dressed and we will go check on Damon." he said. Gemma nodded to him, he left her room and went into his. Gemma used the chance to brush her teeth, she washed her face to get last nights makeup off. Stefan
came into her bathroom and brushed his teeth as well. She quickly pulled her hair up into a bun. They smiled at each other and left.

When they got to the boarding house they noticed Damon's car which he crashed into a plant pot near the house. Gemma instantly smelled blood, they both looked into the trunk, and there was a body inside.

"Who is that?"

"Aaron, he went to Whitmore with Elena." Stefan said closing the trunk. They went inside and find Damon passed out drunk on the couch, and there was glass everywhere.

"Ah. What the hell?"

"Hey. Sorry about the mess. I had some company and things got a little out of hand." he tried to sit up.

"You want to tell me what the hell's going on out in the driveway.."

"Ah. I let Enzo drive last night. He's a little out of practice." he stood up, "almost ended up in the damn foyer."

"Huh." he stared at Damon.

"Oh. You mean, Aaron."

"Yeah."

"Yeah. Well, last night, we hunted him down, and I ripped his throat out. Yeah. I just figured it's time to shove the last branch of the Whitmore family tree into the... wood chipper." he took a drink from a bottle.

"So Elena breaks up with you, and your first instinct is to go on a killing spree? Could you be any more predictable?" some walked into the room.

"It was my idea if it makes you feel any better." he offered Stefan his hand to shake but just starred over at Gemma, "Enzo. Remember? And who is this beauty." Stefan protectively stood in-front of Gemma, "we met when-"

"When you were trying to tear Damon's head off. Yeah. I remember." he turned to face Damon, "so, what, you guys are old pals again, murder buddies, is that it?" Gemma left Stefan's side and circled Enzo, he felt calm.

"Oh, you know how it goes. I mean, I left him for dead, he tried to kill me, we worked things out. You spend five years with someone in a dungeon, you have a pretty unbreakable bond. Gemma, what the hell are you doing?"

"Oh, you know. Just getting a feel for the new guy."

"Say, you haven't heard from Dr. Wes Maxfield by any chance?" Stefan faced Enzo. Gemma let her hands hover by Enzo's head and closed her eyes, "bloke's next on the Augustine hit list, and he's a slippery little devil. Please, tell me what you are doing?"

"Reading your soul. You are really familiar to me."

"I once knew someone who could soul read, his name was Jayson Walker and he was an Angel."

"That's was my father." Gemma said and she finally saw what she wanted, "Wes Maxfield, as revenge of my father no longer helping him, he sent you to kill me. To trigger my rebirth. You're the reason I am a vampire."

"Look, he sent me out to do many things, I often turned my humanity off to not feel it."

"I'm not mad, I thank you. Thanks to you I am who I'm supposed to be."

"Is that the plan? Kill off Augustine and then go back to your sadistic, psychotic old self?"

"I happen to like my old sadistic self, Stefan. In fact, I miss that guy. That guy was dumb enough to try and change himself to get a girl."
