A Thousand Years, Stefan Salvatore

053. YOU MAY BE STRONG, BUT POISON IS STRONGER

Chapter fifty three

"You may be strong, but poison is stronger."

Having taken a day off, Athena had been texted by Stefan to meet him at Alaric's apartment with her dad, although when she told him about it, her dad seemed to have other plans as he had a vial of his blood on the table, he had asked for her wrist, in which Athena gladly handed it over as he cut it open, he held a vile underneath it, filling it up with her blood before it healed, which was why as she walked up the steps to Alaric's apartment, she went to open the door but it was locked, as she knocked on the door.

Damon soon opened it, but when he saw only her, he furrowed his brows "where's your dad?" he asked, as Athena walked in "well seeing as he had taken both of our blood before I left the house this morning, I'm assuming he's looking to unlinking us from the rest of our family." she shared, as Damon shut the door behind her, he smiled "great. It seems like without even knowing our plan, he is still semi working with us." he shared "what is the plan?" Athena asked, as Stefan moved out of the way, revealing the giant power saw and the sign for wickery bridge, which confused Athena more "you brought me here for manual labor?" she asked.

"No." Stefan told her, as Damon walked up behind her "yes!" he voiced, as Stefan glared at him "Damon.." he told him "what? It's not manual labor when the sign your destroying is made out of white oak and will be able to be used to kill all the originals." Damon shared, leaning down to her "because I know you and your dad are tired of pretending that your all one big happy family." he told her, putting his hands on her shoulders "so what'd do you say? Cause if this unlocks your dark side were kind of chock full of alter ego murderer problems." he shared.

As Athena raised her brows "if you don't take your hands off of me, your heads gonna be under there." she told him, as Damon moved his hands away from her, he pointed at Stefan "Athena.." he told her "I'm in. As long as me and my dad don't get pulled down with them. We want them gone." Athena shared, thinking about Finn and how he just stood by while she was about to kill them all.

Standing behind the power saw, Athena was ready to use it as Stefan and Damon stood on either of here, Alaric stood back watching them, but before they could get started, Damon heard footsteps coming up as he walked toward's the door, someone knocked as he opened it "morning, sunshine." he told whoever was on the other end "hey. How's Alaric?" Elena asked, trying to come in seeing as Damon moved closer to the door "indecent, but fine." Damon shared "so then, does that mean there was no issues last night?" Elena asked "nope. Slept like a baby. Woke up Alaric. No headlines about dead council members." Damon shared.

"Then why do I feel like you're hiding something from me?" Elena asked "well, maybe because you're being all paranoid and control freaky. What'd you bring me?" Damon asked, taking the bag from her "ooh. Chocolate muffins, you know what they say way to a psycho killers heart is through his stomach." he shared "they're not for you." Elena told him "fine, keep convincing yourself you're still mad at me. But sadly, Rick's going to have to miss Elena time today. You know, lockdown and all." Damon shared.

"Just take it, give it to him and..and tell him that I miss him, okay?" Elena asked "with pleasure." Damon told her, going to shut the door "please." Elena told him "have a great day. Thanks for coming by." Damon told her, shutting the door in her face, he locked it, and listened to the sound of her footsteps "walking down the stairs. Opening front door," he shared as he walked over to them "and..she's gone." he added on, as Athena turned on the power saw, she brought it down onto the wickery bridge sign, cutting into it, wood chips began flying everywhere.

And soon all the wood was cut up and three minus Alaric had been spending the entire day whittling them into stakes that could be used to kill, although while Damon was widdling another one, Athena and Stefan inspected the one's that were done already, and as Stefan looked at one of them, Athena took it from him and turned throwing it at Damon, Damon dropped the one he was whittling and caught it "what the hell? You're not supposed to use them on me!" he voiced "well seeing as it's barley even sharp it would've done basically nothing to you Damon." Athena informed him "got it." Damon told her, as he leaned down grabbing his knife again.
