The Decade Dance

━━━━━━━━


THE SUN GREETED Athena the next morning as she sat up, stretching her arms. With her super speed, she flashed to the window, opening it up wide. The light poured in and she smiled, satisfied. Grabbing her outfit for the day, she went into the bathroom and got ready for the day.

And then using her super speed once more, she went downstairs and grab a blood bag. She sipped it and threw it away before walking into the living room where Elena and Bonnie were with the lawyer.

Neither saw her so she didn't bring any attention to herself. She grabbed a book Caroline got her and flipped to where her bookmark awaited her. Caroline had got her lots of things: clothes, more books, lotions, and other feminine products. However, she told Athena that she wasn't going to give her any makeup because she wanted Athena to think she was beautiful just the way she was. After all, it wouldn't have made much of a difference considering that Athena was immortal and when you turned, beauty was amplified. Makeup no longer held a purpose.

"Please sign here and here," the lawyer told Elena.

Elena took the pen without question. "Okay."

Bonnie looked around, leaning closer to speak to her. "So this place is all yours? They just gave it to you?" Though they were trying to hide and keep Elena safe from Klaus, giving her the deeds to the Boarding House seemed like a long stretch. They couldn't be that stupid as to think a simple switching ownership of the house would keep Klaus away. He didn't seem that dense.

The doppelganger nodded. "For now. As sole owner, I'm the only one who can invite a certain type of person in here, if you know what I mean."

"Your own personal safe house."

Elena nodded again, drawing a sigh. "That's the idea." She was worried about her friends and family. If Klaus were to get too close, if he were to get angry at them fighting back, he could retaliate and destroy everything she loved and held dear.  The brunette once made a deal with Elijah, so maybe making a clean cut deal with Klaus was a good option.

"Wouldn't want to clean it," Athena spoke up, making Elena and Bonnie jump in surprise.

"Jeez, Athena you scared me," Elena laughed, holding a hand to her racing heart.

Athena glanced over with a smile and laughed. "Sorry."

They both laughed along. Elena turned back around and was about to sign the last paper when Bonnie stopped her. The witch looked back at Athena. "Athena why don't you go and stand outside with Stefan and Damon."

Athena understood what she meant, put her bookmark back in the book, and walked outside. Damon had his back against the stone pillar while stefan stood by the stone wall. The Boarding House was an extremely nice place. Nice was putting it lightly. The land was much more beautiful. You couldn't hear the cars from where they stood which Athena thanked. She didn't want to hear that every day of her life.
