Bloodlust → Stefan Salvatore [1]

The Last Dance

     I lean down on the desk, watching intently as Elena signs the deed to Stefan's house. Bonnie sits down beside me, giving Elena a questionable look. I have to admit, I agree that Isobel was right. But Stefan and Damon just gave up their own house to us, isn't there some other way?

     "So this place is all yours? They just gave it to you?" Bonnie asks.

     "For now. As sole owner, I'm the only one who can invite vampires inside." Elena flips through the pages, checking to make sure she put her signature on every sheet.

     "It's like your own personal safe house." Bonnie giggles.

     "That's the idea." Elena sighs.

     "Wouldn't want to clean it?" I ask, making Elena chuckle. 

     "I think that's everything. This house is officially mine." Elena smiles. I stand back up and walk over to the front door. I open it, seeing Stefan and Damon talking outside. The both stop and look over at me.

     "It's done." I turn around and continue to walk into the living room, thinking they're following me. But then I realize, they need to be invited in.

     "Sorry, I completely forgot." I say, seeing them both standing as close to the door as possible. Elena walks in behind me. "They need to be invited in." I tell her. She nods in response, and walks over to the door.

     "Stefan Salvatore, would you like to come inside my house?" Elena jokingly smiles.

     "I would love to." Stefan plays along, and takes a big stride back inside the house. We all look back at Damon, still standing outside.

     "What are we, twelve?" Damon rolls his eyes.

     "One of us is." I say under my breath.

     "If I let you in, do you promise to obey the owner of this house?" Elena asks.

     "No." 

     "Seriously, Damon. We all made a deal."

     "Fine, Elena, I promise." Damon gives in. 

     "Then please, come in." Elena allows Damon into the house, and shuts the door hard behind him. Bonnie walks into the room behind us, and hands Elena and I our bags.

     "Wait, where are you going?" Stefan stops us.

     "School. The thing we keep forgetting about." I shrug.

     "No. We didn't create a safe house for you to leave it." Damon says.

     "Yeah, Klaus is out there. We know that." Stefan and Damon keep getting closer to us, trying to stop us from leaving. 

     "Right. But where? No one knows." I point out.

     "We appreciate what you guys are doing, and I'll be able to sleep at night knowing that I'm safe here, but we aren't prisoners." Elena states her ground. I look at Stefan, saying everything through my eyes. He sighs, giving in. We all look over at Damon, waiting for his response.
