It's Right (A Delena Story)

'The Killing'

Elena woke up a few hours later, realising she wasn't going back to sleep anytime soon, Elena showered. She checked her phone and saw 5 unread messages and two missed calls. Bonnie was going to be with Professor Shane all day, Caroline was helping Carol Lockwood with Miss Mystic's preparations, Stefan had to 'run an errand' but wanted to 'speak later'; Matt needed Jeremy to work a shift and could not get a hold of him, and April Young wanted to meet her at the grill. Damon hadn't contacted her which was strange, he usually checks in on her.
Elena sighed turning her phone off 'temporarily '.

Damon hadn't slept he was replaying the party at Whitmore and the events of the past few days over in his head. He decided he needed to distract himself, this was perfect as Carol Lockwood had called telling him and Sherif Forbes of Connor's attack on Tyler the previous evening.
Damon arrived at the Lockwood Mansion to a nervous Liz and a worried Carol. "Damon" Liz smiled, "Thanks for coming" Carol shook his hand, "Of course, so do you know what happened?" Damon sat down, Tyler groaned waking up from the vervain coma, Tyler pulled wooden bullets from his chest and stomach, "How did he know I was a hybrid?" Tyler sighed, "It seems Connor and the Pastor were close, they shared a lot in common, crazy death wishes, terrible taste in clothes oh and a hatred of vampires" Damon smirked, Tyler lifted his finger to his gums "Ow" he swiped a finger across, "Did he inject me with vervain?" Tyler shook his head, "No, the bullets were laced with vervain" Liz answered, "So why is my mouth sore, is this normal?" Tyler asked Damon, Damon shook his head "Not that I know of, although I'm a vampire, not a hybrid, ask Klaus" Damon shrugged, Tyler looked down at the table, he picked up a syringe that was lying there, "What's that?" Tyler pointed to the liquid inside, Damon grimaced "That my friend, is werewolf venom" Damon sucked his teeth, he stood up "Busy day, so many people to kill", Damon walked to the door, "Liz, Carol, Lockwood" Damon nodded and left the mansion.
Damon phoned Stefan whilst driving back to the boarding house, Stefan didn't answer, so he drove to Elena's instead assuming Stefan was there.

Elena pulled her hair into a ponytail and ran down the stairs. She was frustrated, she headed to Ric's loft but was met by a frazzled Damon, "Uh, what are you doing here?" Elena asked messing with her ponytail, "Where's Stefan?" Damon asked concerned, Elena stepped aside, "Ok. Uh good morning to you too" Elena frowned she glanced at Damon before she walked up the stairs, Damon followed her, Elena walked into her room and Damon stood at the foot of her bed, Elena searched in her draws filling the awkwardness, "He's not answering his phone or messages, which you know, big deal, we've only got a crazy vampire hunter on the loose" Damon furrowed his brows, "Oh and especially when said vampire hunter has werewolf venom in his possession" Damon sighed, "I haven't talked to him today. He said he's running an errand and that 'we should talk'" Elena paused, "How do you know Connor has werewolf venom?" Elena looked up from the draw, "He venom jacked Tyler last night" Damon walked towards her, and he stuck out his hand "Give me your phone. Maybe he's dodging me" Damon narrowed his eyes, Elena handed him her phone, she looked at him questioningly, "Why would he be dodging you?" Elena walked over to her window and opened it, "Oh, I don't know maybe the hot sweaty, dance party business" Damon stated, Elena blushed her face turned away from him, she stayed silent, "oh" She muttered, "I figured you spilt your guilty little guts, the minute I left last night" Damon sat down at the foot of Elena's bed, Elena replaced a towel in the bathroom, she stayed silent, Damon got up and stood at the bathroom door, "Oh, you didn't tell him did you?" Damon taunted, Elena put the rest of the towels away, shutting the drawer "No, Damon I didn't tell him that I got high on blood like some crackhead, and dirty danced with you. It was a mistake ok? Plus he has enough to deal with, trying to help me through my transition and being a vampire" She turned to face him, "I thought you were calling Stefan?" Elena stated, gesturing to the phone in Damon's hand, Damon nodded "No, I see this is classic shame spiral" he sighed, Elena walked past him back into her room, "I'm not in a shame spiral" Elena pulled out dress options for Miss Mystic Falls, Damon followed, "Oh, you so are. Classic newbie vampire remorse, Oof it's worse than a hangover" Damon taunted, Elena glared at him, "I am not in a shame spiral, Damon." "Fine" Damon sighed dialling Stefan, [voicemail] - "Hey, you've reached Stefan leave a message", Damon furrowed his brows hanging up, "Ok, so either he's dodging both of us or-",
"Something's wrong" Elena finished Damon's sentence.
