Chapter 20

DPOV

 

I was awoken from my sleep, by being pushed out of the warm cocoon of my blankets and onto the cold unforgiving floor, silently I cursed that freaking hurt! “Get up you sack of shit!” the all too familiar voice hollered “today’s the day!” slowly I peeled myself off the floor. Nodding silently at my brother he scrunched his face in disgust before leaving the room closing the door behind him quickly it was then that I realized that I wasn’t exactly alone.

I blinked curiously at the familiar faces in the room, asking them silently what are you doing here? Klaus smiled gently at me before walking towards me “come now did you really think that we wouldn’t be here to help you prepare?” well…that thought did cross my mind… he giggled as he patted my head “you really are dense my little raven” I glared playfully at him.

Bonnie rolled her eyes, before strolling over to me and lightly but entirely pushed Klaus out the way, “hey!” “Yeah, yeah whatever do you still have the vial Damon?” I blinked vial?...oh that thing? I nodded and pointed at my nightstand drawer she smiled approvingly at me before scurrying over to it Klaus glared at her before he looked at me “now let’s decide what you’re wearing”. Elijah rolled his eyes “that shouldn’t be too hard” I smiled he was right about that I had little clothes and the few I had we’re torn and worn out.

Elijah’s eyes softened as when he looked me, he beckoned me over and curiously I went over to him, he ruffled my hair I grinned leaning into the touch let out a soundless laugh as he shook my head from side to side he sighed “you don’t deserve this little raven” he whispered I stared at him. For the first time in a long time Elijah was showing emotion ever since we met he always masked his emotions never laughing or smiling or even crying, this the first time I’ve ever seen him drop his guard but it broke my heart that the first emotion I ever see out of him…is sadness.

Before I could stop it tears welled up in my eyes, Elijah blinked at that eye’s suddenly concerned, I clutched onto him please don’t be sad I mouthed his eyes widened before they softened again. Furiously I whipped at the tears in my eyes before forcing a smile on my face he smiled back grinning I turned from him toward Alaric who stood awkwardly at the other side of the room.

Frowning I walked toward him, and enveloped him into a hug his body jumped in my arms taken aback not expecting me to do that, but he returned the embrace he held me tightly as if he didn’t want to let me go. “I’m going to miss you making fun of my stupid dusty book” my body shook with soundless laughter I let go of him only to be almost tackled to the ground by Klaus, “group hug!” he shouted bonnie and Elijah rolled their eyes while Alaric cocked his head curiously but they obeyed him nonetheless.

I had to fight not to cry again, as we embarrassingly embraced one another it sucks that the only time I can get a group hug, is when I’m about to be sacrificed because of my brother’s obsession with power. A fist pounded against the door “hurry the hell up we don’t have all day!” we all jumped (even Elijah) and broke away from each other Klaus tried to cleverly whip his tears by letting out a fake yawn, then scrubbing wildly at it “good group hug” he mumbled his voice suddenly hoarse.

We nodded in agreement before getting serious, “alright let’s get to business we don’t have much time the eclipse starts in an hour” we nodded, and got to work. My thoughts then drifted to Tyler…did he even know what was going to happen to me today? Did he know that no matter what he thought I still loved? I let out a shaky breath I didn’t have time to think about that, about the what if’s I had to focus on the task at hand I just hoped that in the end he knows how I felt.
