Sleeping Beauty- Klaus Mikaelson

21 -1x21

      It had been a day after Stefan was back to normal. It was early morning and Elena had called Stefan but, Damon answered. As she talked to him, she thought about what Eira said. She couldn't admit that she liked Damon but, deep down she did.

   Eira had just woken up and she trudged to the bathroom. She rubbed her eyes and then she grabbed her toothbrush and brushed her teeth. She thought about the day ahead of her as she did. She had to help Caroline create the Miss Mystic float for the Founder's Day Parade.

   She finished brushing her teeth and then she brushed her hair, untangling all the knots. She walked to her closet and got dressed in a grey oversized sweater with black leggings. She grabbed some black sandals and slipped them on.

   She walked down the stairs slowly, still tired to do anything. Stefan was waiting for her downstairs and he shook his head at her slowness.

    "Could you walk any slower?" Stefan asked.

   "Yes," Eira replied and slowed her pace.

     "Eira," he scolded. "We're going to be late."

      "Okay, okay. I'm coming," Eira hurried down the stairs.

    She followed him outside and to the car. He drove them to school and he parked in the school parking lot. They both got out of the car and Stefan spotted Elena, walking over to her.

     Eira, of course, followed him. Stefan and Elena greeted each other like couples do: with a kiss. Eira gagged, completely disgusted and they pulled away from each other, chuckling at Eira's disgusted look.

   "Please, don't do that in front of me," Eira pleaded.

   Stefan came over and slung his arm over her shoulders as they walked to the entrance to the school. Elena was on his other side, holding his hand.

   "I can't make any promises," Stefan stated.

    "Fine, I'll just close my eyes," Eira had a serious expression.

    Stefan chuckled at her answer and let his arm drop to his side. As they walked into the school, they were bombarded with teenagers milling about and starting to create the floats for the Founder's Day parade. Once they got into the cafeteria, Alaric walked up to them.

    "Hey, Mr. Saltzman," Elena greeted.

    "Come with me. We need to talk," Alaric said to them.

    They all followed him, wondering what he needed to talk to them about. He brought them to an empty classroom so no one could over hear what he said. Alaric explained to them that Isobel, Elena's biological mother, was in town and she wanted to meet with Elena and Eira.

    They had called Damon to get him to come so they could inform him about the situation. They were all waiting for him. The classroom door opened and he finally walked in.

   "Sorry, I'm late. My dog ate my....," Damon saw all the serious faces. "Never mind. What's with all the furrowed brows?"

   Eira smiled at his attempt to joke. But, no one else thought it was funny so she dropped the smile and bit her lip.

   "I saw Isobel last night," Alaric explained.

    "Isobel is here," Damon asked and Alaric nodded. 

    "In town?" Damon asked, rhetorically.  Then, he looked at Elena to see her expression.

    "Did you ask about Uncle John? Are they working together?" Damon asked.
