WE EAT GODS FOR DINNER, The Vampire Diaries

TWENTY THREE:

" LET'S JUST SAY IM DESCENDANT FROM Katherine, does that make me part vampire? "

Katherine Pierce Nari finally knew a name.

" Vampires can't procreate but we love try " Damon said, a smirk tugging on his lips, Nari rolled her eyes, a scoff leaving her lips, she nudged Noah in the side when he snickered under his breath " No, if— if even you are related, It would mean that Katherine had a child before she turned " Damon said putting a fry in his mouth, Nari stole a couple of his fries.

" Did Stefan think that he could use me to- " She took a breath " replace her? " Noah opened his mouth but was cut off when Nari shoved five fries into his mouth.

" It's kinda creepy if you ask me " Damon said making Nari roll her eyes, she leaned forward stealing more of his fries " Don't overthink and don't listen to him, Damon has never given you a good reason to think that he's actually good, talk to Stefan about this " She advised, a small smile on her lips, Elena only nodded looking down at her plate playing with her fries.

" Come on, what, you don't like pickles? What's wrong with you " Damon said grabbing Elena's pickles just as a small plate of pickles were placed in front of Noah, his eyes lit up, Nari smiled at the waiter in thanks when he placed her strawberry milkshake in front of her, she quickly grabbed it and Elena looked at Damon confused " How can you even eat, if.. technically you're supposed to be " She nodded giving him a look that made Nari lips quirk up in amusement.

Damon leaned forward " Dead? " He whispered, Elena gave a tiny shrug " It's not such a bad word. As long as I keep a healthy diet of.... blood in my system, my body functions, pretty normally  " Noah placed his third pickle on the plate scrunching his nose up " I'm not hungry anymore " He muttered under his breath licking the pickle taste of his lips

Elena laughs softly shaking her head " This nice act. Is any of it real? " She asked looking a Damon.

" No " Nari whispered under her breath getting flick to her thigh by Damon who only hummed at Elena as Bree came over switching his beer " Here you go honey " Nari watched her, something felt off about her and she didn't know what " Thank you " Damon responded.

" I'll have one too " Elena suddenly said, Noah and Nari looked at her as Damon made a questioning hum grabbing his beer " Time out, remember? For five minutes " She crossed her arms " Yeah, well, that five minutes is gonna need a beer " Bree placed a beer in front of her " There you go — " Bree then looked over at Nari and Noah " How about you two? "

Noah shook his head, a small smile on his lips " I don't do American beer— " Nari said giving a shrug " But I don't mind a couple of shots " Bree gave a thumbs up, placing two shot glasses in front of her pouring tequila in them as Damon and Elena clinked their beers together, Elena room her first sip of beer, her lips twisting, Nari pushed a shot glass to Noah and gave him a smile he shook his head.

" Oh no " He laughed shaking his head " I don't do shots, I do one and we might have to get into a challenge " Noah smirked slightly, Nari laughed grabbing her shot glass " You'd lose " She told him before swinging back a shot, a challenging look flashed in his eyes and he took a swig.

THE DAY HAD GONE BY FAST AND IT WAS now dark, inside of Bree's Bar, Noah drummed his fingers against the counter, his cheekbones flushed red obviously drunk, shot glasses were placed in front of them all, including some strangers that had come to play who could drink the fastest " Ready " Bree asked gaining nods " Go! "

Everyone grabbed their shot glasses swinging back their shots, Elena and Noah placed their shot glasses down, clapped their hands before high fiving each other " That's three! " Elena exclaimed happily, Nari laughed out loud, moving her hair back, she looked longer wore Noah's sweater and was now in her white ribbed knitted tank top.
