Our Town
The following morning, Lorilei begins the plan to follow the Save Elena Gang. It's mainly the oldest of the Pack following them; one currently is outside the Salvatore Boarding House. April O'Brian stands outside, bored, as she waits to follow anyone that comes out of the house with a few others. Inside, Damon smiles to himself as he takes a shower, not having the facilities at the old Witches' House, while downstairs, Elena trains with a punching bag, and Alaric comes into the training room. "Hey, you're gonna hole that thing. You want to talk about it?" Alaric asks her.
"Nothing to talk about," Elena argues, and Alaric holds his hands up in surrender before moving out of the room. Damon gets out of the bathroom upstairs, whistling and finds Alaric waiting for him.
"Good morning," Damon greets him.
"You're late," Alaric tells him. "We were supposed to meet Bonnie at the Witch House in ten minutes."
"Relax, Ric. You don't want your hair to fall out," he jokes, looking at his only friend.
"Would you hurry up," The history teacher groans. "We have work to do. You know, Klaus isn't gonna spontaneously self-destruct. Why are you all chipper?"
"No reason," The older Salvatore replies, unable to stop the smile. "Be with you in a minute." Alaric goes downstairs to see Elena still training.
"So, what's got you worked up?" Alaric asks her, seeing that she is stressed about something.
"I didn't really sleep last night," Elena replies.
"Yeah, me neither," He retorts. "Probably something to do with dying..."
"Are you okay?" She asks him, growing concerned for her teacher.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine," The Vampire Hunter assures her. "I think the ring, however, is running low on batteries."
"Yeah, it's another reason why I worry about Jeremy," The Doppelganger argues, stopping her punches. "If those rings have a shelf life, he is not protected, neither are you." She swings at the punching bag.
"Nice, nice, you're getting stronger," Alaric compliments her.
"I'm just channelling frustration," Elena retorts and stops her assault on the punching bag. "I need coffee." She walks into the Salvatore's kitchen, making herself a coffee after removing her gloves.
"Seems like Damon's in a good mood today," He comments, seeing the Doppelganger stiffen at the mention of the older Salvatore. "What's going on with you two?"
"Have you talked to Damon today?" She asks him, looking at him and wondering if Damon spilt the beans about their kiss last night when he came around to comfort her after having to kill the Hybrid.
"Not really. Why?" The history teacher questions, looking at her strangely.
"No reason," The Doppelganger replies shortly, drinking her coffee. Alaric looks at her but heads out, needing to go to the Witches' House with Damon to speak with Bonnie before heading to school.
