JUICY

ch 30

The next morning Kayla wakes up to a phone call from Caroline

"Where are you?!"
"Good morning to you too Caroline"
"Good morning. Where are you?!"
"Getting beauty sleep duh"

Kayla slowly sits up and rubs her eye as Caroline starts to rant about needing help with decorations and how school started hours ago

"Yeah I actually wasn't planning on coming in today, rough night and all"

Caroline sighed "I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm snapping at you, I promise i'm not. I just know how you get when there's a lot on your mind and I thought this might take some of it off but you take all the time you need okay?"

"I promise this isn't like the other times, I really just needed some extra sleep. If I get the chance, I'll stop by before the carnival for last minute touches, kay?"
"Okay, Love you"
"Love you more"

Kayla tosses her phone to the bed and gets up to go to her bathroom to start getting ready when she hears faint talking

She went to ignore the sound when a feminine voice was heard "I dont understand why I have to be cooped up in here. Why can't I just go home"
Kayla rolled her eyes. She'd almost forgotten the Donovan girl was here.

After getting dressed she made her way down stairs seeing Elena walk in and Damon getting ready to walk out when he makes eye contact with her

"Kayla" Damon acknowledged his younger 'cousin'

"Damon" Kayla eyed him as she and Elena exchanged brief 'hey's'.

She'd come to the conclusion that he had no intentions of hurting her or even making her believe he would attempt it for the moment at least, she just wasn't sure why

The two stayed silent, both trying to get a read on the other. As Damon closed the door back and focused on the girl

Getting tired of the silence, the teen Salvatore speaks "Why's Vicki still here and not in vampire rehab? Is that a thing?"
"Oh you don't remember? Hero Hair Stefan has plans to save the world and turn everybody into vegan bunny eaters"

Kayla squinted her eyes "Right, y'all said that last night...so she's a vampire now?"
"Technically yes, but you don't have to worry your young little mind about her"

"Oh trust, I have more important things to worry about than krampus"
Kayla then glanced upstairs "Tell me about how this all works. How does someone become a vampire? How did you become a vampire. Actually hold up. How old are you?"

"25" he answered shortly
"I'm not asking about your age in dog years, I'm talking regular human years. How long you been on this earth?"

Damon paused before answering "Like a century and some change, 169 to be exact"

"Oh you old bitch and you slept with my best friend?! That's really nasty. Like, you'd be wrinkly if you were human right now- actually you might just be dead if you were human right now-"
"Okay, Kayla. I get it. I'm old" Damon rolled his eyes

"I am serious tho, I'd like to know. About this transition stuff and how you turnt"

Raising an eyebrow, the oldest Salvatore asks "Why? You interested in being one?"

Kayla scoffed "and be a forever undead barely 16 year old...no thank you"

Damon walked over to the table and grabbed his keys and gestured for Kayla, who hesitated, to follow him to the car.
