034. THE TRAGIC DINNER PARTY

Chapter thirty four

"The tragic dinner party." 

The next morning, Beatrix had woken up and when she did, Elijah had asked her if she'd come with him to meet Elena's aunt Jenna to take a look around Mystic Falls, and she agreed, as she was wearing a knee high boots and a black skirt with a black sweater and a red jacket, her arm was linked with Elijah's as the two walked with Jenna "the old Fell property actually starts just beyond that fence." Jenna shared "ah, the Fells. One of the founding families." Elijah shared "why do you say it like that?" Jenna asked him.

"My research showed me that this area was actually settled almost two full centuries earlier. It was a migration of towns folk from the north east, um, it was Salem, to be precise." Elijah shared "Massachusetts? Like the witch trials?" Jenna asked "well, the witch trails weren't actually any real witches, but what Elijah is saying is that anyone besides my family of course didn't actually find anything, which is kind of why my grandmother doesn't believe in any of the conformity  but more so show's up to all founder day events to show that were mere so better then everyone else." Beatrix shared.

"Ah, so it was the men who made a big deal about being founders back in 1860." Jenna shared, as the three came to a stop "men are very territorial." Jenna shared "well so are women, just in their own way." Beatrix shared, as Jenna laughed "true." she told her, as Alaric walked up to them "uh, Elijah, this is my friend, Alaric Saltzman." Jenna shared "yeah, I got your message about walking Elijah and Beatrix around the old property lines. I thought I would, uh, tag along. You know being a history buff and all. Where to next?" Alaric asked them "I'm pretty curious about the freed slave property owners. Some say, you know the descendants of the slaves are the true keepers of American history." Elijah shared.

"Well, I only brought the surveys..i got that list in the car, just give me a sec." Jenna told them, walking off, leaving Beatrix, Elijah and Alaric to themselves "Alaric Saltzman. You're one of those people on Elena's list of loved one's to protect." Elijah shared "so is Jenna." Alaric told him, as Beatrix chuckled "what you think we're gonna hurt her? What are you really doing here anyway? Cause if Damon told you to keep eyes on me, I suggest he be a man and do it himself." she shared, as her and Elijah stepped around him and walked over to Jenna.

Where Alaric had then left him alone and when the three had finished their tour and headed to the grill as they walked inside "hi!" Damon called out, as the three turned seeing him, Alaric and some girl, as they walked over "hey, guys." Jenna told them "so I hear you three had quite a meeting of historical minds today." Damon shared "yeah, I guess you could say that." Jenna told them "well, as much as I'd like to continue this. I, uh, I've got papers to grade." Alaric shared, putting money down on the table "no, you know what? We should continue this. Let's have a dinner party." the women shared.

As Damon turned looking at her "ooh, my girl. Full of good ideas. I'll be happy to host." he shared, holding his hand up, Beatrix and Elijah stared at him knowing exactly what he was doing "say tonight. Maybe?" Damon asked "it's good for me. Jenna?" the women asked her "I don't know if tonight works." Alaric said, while Jenna said "yeah, I'm free." in which the two looked to each other "it would be a pleasure." Elijah told them, as he looked to Beatrix "right, Beatrix?" he asked her "it would be. I'll invite my mother and grandmother as well. " Beatrix shared, looking up at Elijah "great." Damon told them, as he forced a smile, seeing the way the two were looking at each other, made him pissed.
