Evelyn

"Hey, where were you?" Stefan asks as I walk into the study.

"I was with Nathan," I answer. "Why?"

"You still hang out with that guy?" Damon questions.

"Yes I still hang out with him. We're friends." I chuckle.

"Elena took the dagger out of Elijah, and they're gone," Stefan says.

"What?" My eyes widen.

"Yeah, she told Stefan to make sure we don't do anything stupid," Damon tells me as he pours bourbon into a cup.
"When have I done anything stupid?" They give me a look. "You know what? Don't answer that." I shake my head. I pull my phone out of my pocket. "Oh no." Damon and Stefan both look at me worried. "My phone's dead." I show them my phone, and they both roll their eyes. Stefan's phone rings, and he answers it.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Stefan. It's Jenna."

"Jenna, hey." I look at him and he shrugs.

"Where are Elena, Evelyn, and Jeremy? No one's answering their phones."

"Ah, Elena's not here at the moment, and Evelyn's phone died. Is, uh, everything okay?"

"Elena and Evelyn left me all these weird messages telling me to stay away from Ric. Also, Evelyn left me another message saying she would give me back a shirt she took? I don't know. But what's going on?" Damon and Stefan look at me.

"Oops, that was for Caroline." I chuckle quietly.

"It's really hard to explain over the phone, but, um...she was hoping that you could stay on campus for a little while longer."

"Oh, that's kind of hard to do from my kitchen." My eyes widen.

"Wait, you're home?"

"Yeah. What's going on? Where's Elena and Evelyn? I'm supposed to meet Ric at the grill for lunch to talk."

"Jenna, listen to me carefully. Whatever you do, do not meet Alaric at the grill. I'm gonna come over right now, and I'll explain everything." Stefan hangs up.

"Wow, I'd love to lend you a hand, but you know you wouldn't want me doing anything stupid." Damon chuckles.

"Seriously going to be like this?" Stefan questions, annoyed, before leaving.

"And I would love to do something stupid with you, Damon, but I'm worried for my aunt right now. So I'll see you later." I kiss him before leaving. "Text me if you plan on doing something...never mind that my phone's dead." I call out.

"Yup!"

"Hey, Jenna. Thank you so much for not going to the grill," Stefan says as he walks into the house.

"Umm, Stefan—" Stefan cuts her off.

"No, listen. I can explain." Stefan walks in with Evelyn behind him, and Jenna closes the door. Evelyn's eyes widen when 'Ric' walks out of the kitchen.

"Hi, Stefan. Evelyn." Stefan turns around, and 'Ric' leans against the doorway to the kitchen. "How's it going?"

"Uh, you know, just trying to ward off any psychopath that comes around me." She shrugs.

"Wouldn't that include Damon?" 'Ric' asks.

"Damon, I can handle." She nods.

"Let's head to the kitchen. I'm cooking," he says before turning around and walking back into the kitchen. They follow after him and stand at the kitchen island as he chops carrots. "You know, I find chopping..." he holds the knife up, admiring it. "Calming. Feel the blade in the hand, maybe."
