Always and Forever ~ The Vampire Diaries

🖤Stop P*ssing People Off!🖤

"Fire, put on a fancy dress and come with me to the Lockwood's." Day walks in my room and straight to my closet, looking through all the clothes.

"Hey, Fire. Nice to see you doing better, my little fire." I mock as I get up from the couch to snatch the dress from his hands.

"We're going to meet Elijah at the Historical Society's Tea Party. I want to have a little word with him." He informs me before shoving me into my bathroom to change.

"How did you manage to find the only white dress I own?" I huff while changing into the clothes. 

"I'll allow a leather jacket and boots, just hurry up." I grumble slurs, while stepping out of my bathroom to see he left the room.

Damon's newest plaything comes with us to the tea party thing, clinging to his side like a leech. I know he probably compelled her but damn.

We all exchange greetings with Mrs. Lockwood who is the Mayor now. She gives me a sympathetic look before attempting to pull me into a hug.

"Yeah, no thanks Mayor. I honestly want nothing to do with your family anymore." I want to turn and leave them after the hurt look crosses her face. 

"Ahem, Elijah. May I have a few words with you?" Damon asks before telling Andie to go mingle.

I follow behind them to the study and shut the door behind me.

"What can I do for you, Damon?" Elijah asks.

"I was hoping we could have a word."

"Where's Elena?"

"Elena this, Elena that, blah blah blah." I blanche, pouring a drink for myself.

"Excuse her, she's a bitch. Anyways, Elena is safe with Stefan. They're laying low, you know, a bit of a werewolf problem."

"Oh, yes. I heard about that." The original vampire says while glancing towards me.

"Well, your little witches saved the day didn't they?" I ask lifting my drink to my red painted lips.

"You are welcome." Damon sits on the desk in front of me.

"Which adds to my confusion on exactly why you're here."

"Why don't you just stay focused on keeping Elena safe and leave the rest to me." Elijah goes to leave but Damon vamps in front of him, blocking the door.

"Not good enough." Elijah easily pins Damon to the wall by his throat but when Damon tries to lamely grab the original's throat back, the old man smashes his hand.

"You young vampires, so arrogant. How dare you come in here and challenge me?"

"Hey, old man! You can't kill him. Also Damon, stop pissing people off!" I scold them both. Elijah spares me a glance before taking a pen lying nearby and stabbing Day in the neck with it. 

"Oh come on! That is so unnecessary." I gag looking at all the blood that sprays out from Damon removing the pen.

I walk up to Elijah and snatch the handkerchief from his jacket pocket to give to Day. He glares at me but takes it anyway.

"I'm an Original. Show a little respect. The moment you cease to be of use to me, you're dead, so you should do what I say. Keep Elena safe." He turns and leaves the room after sending a curt nod my way. Does this mean I am on his good side?

Damon says we can leave the lame party once we find Alaric. We of course found him by the bar and quickly grabbed him.

Now back at home they try to figure out what to do. Damon wants to kill Elijah, shocker and Alaric just wants his bourbon.

"He's gonna be hard to kill."

"I don't understand why you even want to kill him." I mutter and take a sip of my bourbon.

"Yeah. I'd think twice before I'd trust that dagger and some ashes to do the job. You're gonna need more info." Alaric says while getting more to drink.

"I'm out of sources." Day complains.

"Well, I'm not. Be back later!" I call out before quickly making my way to my car and then to the old church ruins.

"Come to see me withering away?" Katherine's hoarse voice calls from the tomb entrance.

"Not really. Here, I brought you some blood and a few other things." I drop the bag onto the other side of the tomb.

"In exchange for what?" She asks while ripping open the blood bag taking slow sips to save it.

"Information about the Originals."

"You think some blood and hygiene products will make me spill?" She scoffs.

"Well no, but considering they are looking for a way to kill Elijah? I bet you'll talk." I smirk at her.

"Fine, there is no way to kill them."

"So the dagger John gave them won't do anything?" I ask her.

"Dagger? Did he have some ash with it?" I squint my eyes at her. I won't lie, she is very good at acting.

"Hm, you know what I am talking about. Yes the dagger and ash are in my Uncle's possession but I want to know if it kills Originals or not."

"It does... for a time." She drags on.

"Alright. Well have fun rotting down here. Thanks for the info." I turn and leave the tomb as she throws insults at me for leaving.

As I drove back to the house I got a strange feeling something was wrong. When I spot Alaric's car in the same spot it was when I left I know something is wrong.

Not wanting to get any closer, assuming I would be heard, I slide my phone out of my bag and search for Elijah's contact I stole from Jenna's phone.

'Elijah, it's Sapphire. How quickly can you get to the boarding house? Something is wrong.'

I press send on the phone and wait for his response. After a minute he says he'll be right there and he wasn't kidding. Two seconds later he sat in my passenger seat.

"Jesus, thanks for the heart attack." I sass, getting a small smile from him.

"It appears you were right. Several wolves are inside torturing Damon. Wait here a moment."

"Like hell!" I get out and grab the gun I keep in my glovebox before making my way inside the house.

By the time I made it up the driveway and into the house, Elijah had killed all of the wolves and was freeing Damon.

"So you realize this is the third time I've saved your life now?" He says to Damon before looking towards me.

Damon doesn't say anything as Elijah turns towards me and grabs the moonstone before leaving the house.

"Ugh, what a mess." I gag at the bodies, one of which was Alaric who gasps awake.

"Oh, hey I learned something. I am about 94% sure you need to leave the dagger in Elijah." I inform Damon as he cleans up the parlor.

"Good to know." He mutters.
