26: Memory Lane

Eliana had been up all night. She had simply been thinking about Katherine's most recent visit. She had no choice but to work with the doppelgänger. The lives of those she loves were in grave danger. She wanted to run to Damon and let him know what was happening but she was not sure how Katherine would react. Therefore she decided to keep quiet and simply think of something on her own.

"Eliana, sweetheart." Jenna's voice said from the other side of Eliana's bedroom door.

Eliana sighed and stood up from her bed. She made her way over to the door and winced slightly from the small pinches coming from the pressure on her wounded leg. She opened the door and there stood Jenna with a small smile on her face.

"Good morning. I wanted to let you know that I've invited Mason for a barbecue tonight. Maybe you should invite Damon." Jenna said getting a small smile to form on Eliana's face.

"Yes of course." Eliana said as she leaned against the door trying to hide away the pain from her leg.

"Are you okay?" Jenna questioned as she saw how Eliana stood in discomfort.

"Yes. Leg is just sore. Caught a cramp mid night." Eliana lied and Jenna simply believed her. "I'll call Damon right away." She said as Jenna simply nodded and turned to walk back downstairs.

Eliana closed her door and leaned against it for a moment before she looked down and noticed the small amount of blood making its way down her calf.

"Shit." Eliana said as she limped her way over to the nearby chair.

A gush of wind blew inside of her room and in the matter of seconds Damon was kneeling in front of her.

"What happened?" Damon questioned as he quickly went to her aid.

"I'm fine. I simply scraped my leg when I was getting off the window ledge." Eliana lied but Damon saw right through her.

"Eliana who did this?" Damon questioned as he quickly walked to the nightstand and took the empty glass in hand.

Eliana contemplated whether to tell Damon about Katherine's visit or not. She looked at how he bit into his wrist and brought some blood into the glass.

"Eli who did this to you?" Damon questioned once again as he went to kneel in front of her.

"Nobody. I did this to myself last night." Eliana lied once again and Damon had no other option but to believe her.

He handed her the cup of blood and Eliana softly took it in hand.

"You should've called. You know we can't have you out here bleeding. I was a two miles away leaving a council meeting when I got the whiff of your blood." Damon said shocking Eliana.

"You was at the Lockwood mansion?" Eliana questioned and Damon simply nodded. "Damon that's a five mile walk." She said as Damon scrunched his nose in worry.

"Do you think others smelled it as well?" Eliana questioned getting Damon to inhale deeply.

"Stefan is with Elena at the Grill. That's about the same distance. Let me call him." Damon said as Eliana simply nodded.
