WEREWOLVES -- 3

Amara and Damon lean against the car. Stefan helps Elena put her things in the car. Damon smiles, "sorry you can't come too Stef." Elena glares at Damon. Amara laughs and punches Damon in the arm.

Stefan looks down at Elena, "call me if you need anything."

Damon smirks, "oh ill take good care of her."

Elena glares at Damon before kissing Stefan, Elena smiles. Damon watches before he turns away. Amara laughs, "looks like he got there first again buddy." She laughs.

Damon stands up properly, "all right. Time to go." Damon and Amara get in the car. And they drive away.

On the drive there, Amara and Elena are sat in the back, Damon and Alaric in the front. Damon reaches back, "how you doing back there?"

Amara speaks up, "I think she's fine Damon."

Damon sighs and speaks, "Elena, you know this whole pretending to hate me thing is getting a little silly."

At the same time, Amara and Alaric speak up, "ha I don't think she's pretending." Alaric continues, "I mean, you did kill her brother."

Damon scoffs, "there is a huge asterisk next to that statement. He came back to life."

Elena scoffs and turns her head to the side, "Yeah thanks to a ring you didn't know he was wearing."

Damon doesn't turn his head but he still speaks to Elena, "why are you so sure I didn't know?"

Elena looks at Damon, "did you?"

Damon nods, "yes."

Elena scoffs, "your lying."

"Elena. I saw the ring. Its a big, tacky thing. It's hard to miss." The car ride was basically silent after that.

Finally, after a long while, they arrive at Duke University. As they begin to walk in, Alaric speaks up. "Isobel was officially employed by the Anthropology Department, given that most paranormal phenomena I'd rooted in folklore." They walk in to find a woman, "Excuse me, hi. I'm alaric saltzman, I called earlier."

The woman nods and chuckles, "yes. Uh ofcourse, I'm vanessa Monroe. Research assistant. Competitive folklore." She smirks as she looks Damon up and down.

Alaric speaks up, "sorry, my friends Elena, Damon and.."

Amara smiles, "I'm Amara, see I'm Damons friend, only just met Alaric."

Alaric nods, "I hope this isn't an imposition."

Vanessa shakes her head, "oh please, isobels office is right through there Isobel was one of my first professors, I'm a grad student. She was brilliant. And one of the reasons I went into folklore. I have to ask um.. has there been any news?"

Alaric sighs, "no. No, I'm afraid not."

"Oh, it's right this way." Vanessa speaks as she leads them into Isobels office.

All four of them follow the girl into Isobels office. Looking around, taking in the room. Vanessa let's them walk in, "ill grab the light. Feel free to look around. It's fascinating isn't it?" Vanessa leaves the room.

They all look around. A while passes and damon speaks casually, "where'd she go?"

Elena turns around, when Vanessa walks back in with a crossbow and shoots it at Elena. Elena gasps as it comes shooting at her, But Damon vampire speeds infront of her the wooden arrow hitting her back. Amara glares at the woman, if Amara got her hands on her she'd kill her. So Alaric pins Vanessa to the wall, they both grunt as Alaric speaks, "hurry." He says still pinning Vanessa to the wall. Both Elena and Amara go to check on Damon.
