Dangerous Love (The Vampire Diaries) [editing]

Chapter 5

As I walked into the boarding house that night, Damon called me into the living room. Stefan and Damon were sitting across from each other, glaring at one another.

"Guys?" I asked, setting my book bag on the floor.

"You've been spending a lot of time with the originals." Damon started, looking away from Stefan. His eyes landed on me, and he checked me over. As if inspecting me for damage.

"Is that what this is about?" I asked, gesturing to the two of them. "Is this some sort of intervention?"

"Aurora, we just want what's best for you." Damon said, sighing softly. "Please understand that this is for your own good."

"Understand that what is for my own good?" I asked, eyes narrowing. "What are you going to do? Snap my neck? Chain me up?"

"No." Stefan quickly said.

"We're banning you from them." Damon interrupted as I was about to respond. I shut my mouth and looked at the both of them.

"Banning me? From my friends?" I asked, frowning. "Really?"

"Yes, really. Aurora, it's for your own good." Damon stood up and walked towards me.

"We just want what's best." Stefan explained.

"What?" I asked in exasperation. "For me to be friends with no one but you two? Or do you want me to be friends with the all so perfect Elena? Is that what you think I want? Or is that what you want? I love hanging out with Bekah. She's really cool and we have a lot in common."

"What do you have in common, Aurora? Tell me." Damon snapped, getting in my face. "Enlighten me by telling me just how much you have in common with that heartless bitch."

"We both have egotistical brothers, who've been in love with a good for nothing doppelganger bitch! A bitch who tore our families apart." I snapped back at him. "We've both loved people who've either died or stopped loving us. And we both think that if you continue to fight Niklaus that you'll die in the end!"

This made them both fall silent. I pushed past Damon and Stefan and ran out the front door, wiping tears from my face.

I sat in the ruble of the fallen estate. The Salvatore Estate. My home, before I had been turned. Grass overgrew almost everything. Moss covered most of everything else the grass missed.

I smiled as I looked around the property. Small memories with great meaning came back to me.

"Come on, Aurora!" Stefan called out over his shoulder. I laughed as his ten year old self tried to order me around, but I went along with it. For him.

"I'm coming Stefan!" I yelled back to him as we ran through the beautiful flower gardens. The hedge's were recently added and made it all seem that much more beautiful.

"Let's play tag!" he grinned. I laughed as he chased me. I lifted up my skirt as I ran away from him. I had always been faster than Stefan, but always let him win this silly game. Unless Damon was playing with us, which he rarely did anymore. He claimed himself to be 'to old for silly games'. Cocky 16 year old boy.

"Rory!" Stefan whined as I got to far ahead of him. I laughed and purposely made myself look tired for his benefit. "Tag! You're it, Aurora!" I felt a light tap on my shoulder, and watched as Stefan sprinted away.

I walked through the area of the old gardens, finding a small amount of peace as I did so. Then, I walked to the location where the doors use to stand tall.
