The Gilbert Witch

Fool Me Once 1-2

So me and lena are at the boarding house. And we walked up stairs to see Damon putting on his jacket, preparing to leave. Damon looks up at us.
Then looks mostly at lena.
I'm gonna have to change the locks. You stage a jailbreak? "Damon said
He picks up the grimoire.

Stefan and Em. "Lena said
Ah, brother. Ever the white knight. Of course she's always saving you even if she might die herself. "Damon said and she looked upset when he said that about me.
We convinced Bonnie to help you. "I said
I doubt that. "He responded
We walk around the edge of the study towards the stairs, leading to the sunken part of the room where Damon is.

I'm not gonna say that I'm sorry we got the grimoire without you last night, because I'm not really. "Lena said
Thats mean
Well, at least you're honest. "Damon said
I was protecting the people I love, Damon. But so were you, in your own, twisted way. And as hard as it is to figure, we're all on the same side, after the same thing. "Lena said

Me and lena descends the stairs.

Not interested. "Damon said.
He starts to leave.

Yes you are, because you were willing to work with us yesterday. "Lena said
Fool me once, shame on you. "Damon said turning around
Okay, when we were in Atlanta, why didn't you use you use your compulsion on me? "I asked
Oh I forgot to tell you a vampire can only compel me when I'm off guard or I let them.
Damon places the grimoire on a table and walks towards me, crossing his arms.

Who's to say I didn't? "He answered i rolled my eyes
You didn't. I know you didn't. But you could have. You and I...we have something. An understanding. And I know that her betrayal hurt you, different from how it is with you and Stefan, but I'm promising you this now, they will help you get Katherine back. "I said
I wish I could believe you. "Damon groans unconvinced
I step forward and look him straight in the eyes.
Ok I'm only going to say this once. You can trust me like you did before. Ok and I'll let you compel me to see if im telling the truth. "I said looking straight at him.
How do I know if your being compelled? "He asked
I won't move a muscle. "I answered.
I wait for Damon to respond.

You know Anna won't stop, by the way, no matter what I do. "Damon said
Then we'll deal with it. "Lena said watching everything play out.

Damon walks closer to me.
Looking me straight iny eyes.

I didn't compel you in Atlanta because we were having fun. I wanted it to be real. I'm trusting you. Don't make me regret it. "He said and walks away.

The Woods

Me, Elena and Damon arrive at the party in the woods and see over a dozen students drinking and chatting.

The Duke party. I forgot. I hope they stay clear of the church. "Lena said
Your hope, not mine. "Damon said and I smacked him he just shrugged.
Matt and Caroline walk up to us.

Elena, Em hey! "Matt said
Elena! Emely! Oh my God, where have you been? "Caroline asked
Caroline intertwines her fingers with Matt's. And I raised my eyebrow.
Long story, no time to tell it. "Damon said
I wasn't talking to you. "Caroline said in a harsh voice
Sure you were. "Damon said
We haven't met. I'm Matt. "Matty said holding out his hand for Damon to shake. Oh matty your just to polite.

Matt, there's a reason we haven't met. We are going that way. "Damon said as grabs are arms and starts dragging us away. Elena looks back at Matt and Caroline as were being pushed along.

Ah, were sorry, guys. "Lena said
I'm not. "I said and she glared at me I just put my hands up in defense.
We got to the church ruins.

Damon whistles. They turn and look at him.
