CHAPTER SIX

Elena and I walk up to the front door of stefans house, well I mean it's more like I mansion, elena knocks a couple of times before the door slightly opens elena took this as her queue to walk in.

"Elena what are you doing this is trespassing" I whisper yelled trying not to get caught.

"I'm sure it will be fine" she tells me. "Stefan? Stefan?" She yells which ecos through the house.

We here the noise of birds wing flapping so we both turn around to see what it was and there's a crow on there front porch when we turn back around there's a man with black hair and the bluest eyes I've ever see.

I look at him when he notices me staring at him he smirks.

"I...I'm sorry for barging in. The door was...open" elena tells him.
"You must be Elena. I'm Damon, Stefan's brother, and you are" he asks me.
"My names Iskra"
"What a beautiful name" he tells me which makes me blush almost instantly.
"He didn't tell me he had a brother" elena says.
"Well, Stefan's not one to brag. Please, come. I'm sure Stefan will be along any second" damon tells us
"Wow. This is your living room?" I asked Damon.
"Living room, parlor, Sotheby's auction. It's a little kitschy for my taste. I see why my brother's so smitten. It's about time. For a while there, I never thought he'd get over the last one. Nearly destroyed him" this caught my attention I was curious.
"The last one?" Elena asked him.
"Yeah. Katherine, his girlfriend? Oh, you two haven't had the awkward exes conversation yet"
"Nope" she mumbles awkwardly
"Oops. Well, I'm sure it'll come up now. Or maybe he didn't want to tell you because he didn't want you to think he was on the rebound. We all know how those relationships end"
"You say it like every relationship is doomed to end" I say to him.
"I'm a fatalist. Hello, Stefan" elena and I both turn around and see Stefan standing at the top of the stairs.
"Elena, Iskra. I didn't know you were coming over." Stefan said.
"I know. I should have called, I just..." Elena started to say but Damon interrupted.
"Oh, don't be silly. You're welcome any time. Isn't she, Stefan? You know, I should break out the family photo albums or some home movies. But...I have to warn you. He wasn't always such a looker"
"Thank you for stopping by, Elena, Iskra Nice to see you" stefans said in a monotone voice.
"Yeah, we should probably go. It was nice to meet you, Damon" elena said.
"Yeh nice meeting you Damon" I repeated.
"Great meeting you, too, Elena" he looked at her he then turned to me and grabbed my hand placing a kiss on the top "Iskra it was a pleasure" I blushed.
2when I looked away from Damon i looked back over too Stefan who was blocking elena a way.

"Stefan....Stefan?" He didn't say anything but stepped out of her way she look down at the ground sadly I walked passed him giving him a glare on the way out.

STEFAN

"Great gal. Whoo. She's got spunk. You, on the other hand, look pooped. Did you over-exert yourself today? Let me guess...hospital" Damon said to me while laughing he thinks this is funny can he ever just be serious for once.
"Someone had to clean up your mess" I tell him angrily.
"Well, were you successful? Did the powers of persuasion work? Remember, if you don't feed properly, none of those little tricks work right"
"How long were they here for?" I needed to know he didn't do anything to them.
"Were you worried, Stefan? Scared we may be doomed to repeat the past? Isn't that why you play your little game, "I'm a high school human"?"
"I'm not playing any game" I tell him.
"Of course you are. We both know the closest you'll ever get to humanity is when you rip it open and feed on it"
"What kind of game are you playing, Damon?"
"Guess you'll just have to wait and see, won't you?"

When we got back home elena was telling Jenna excuses as why she shouldn't be seeing stefan.
"He's on the rebound and has raging family issues"
"Well, at least it's an ex-girlfriend. Wait till you date a guy with mommy issues or cheating issues. Or amphetamine issues" well Jenna's beat you there elena.
The front door opens then closes and Jeremy walks in.

"Jeremy? Jeremy, where were you?"Jenna asks him concerned.
"More stoner stories? Look, Jenna, I get it, you were cool. And so that's...that's cool" he tells her.
"Oh, no, no, no!" She yells and then picks up the closes thing to her which happens to be an apple and throws it at him I stifle a laugh.
"Ow! Why? Why...why did you do that?"he asked rubbing the spot were the apple hit.
"Listen up! Quit ditching class or you're grounded. No discussion"
"Parental authority, I like it. Sleep tight" and then he walked up to his room.
"Jenna I know this is hard for you being how young you are and having to look after 3 teenagers but your doing it great soon he's going to get out of this phase he just still needs time" she smiles at me and I hug her.
"Thank you" she tells me and walks of upstairs to her room.

It was the next day and we were back at school it was lunch and elena bonnie and I were handing out programs for tonight's festival.
"Tonight, night of the comet! Would you like a program?" She asked two random girls walking by who thank bonnie and take the program.
Bonnie turns to look at elena and I.

"Would you like a program?"she asks someone again. "He didn't call, huh?" She was talking to elena about stefan.
"Or text. But I realized we never even exchanged that stuff. We've never gotten to the texting part"
"That's an important milestone in any relationship" I tell her.
"Isn't it? The timing is wrong, anyway" she's making excuses again.
"When is it ever right?" Bonnie tells her.
"I'm not ready, Bonnie"
"Who is?"
"At least I put myself out there" I look at elena and frown.
"Is that what you're calling it?"bonnie says back.
"What do you mean?"
"All I'm hearing is reasons why you can't" I interrupt bonnie.
