Chapter Twelve

Emilia watched silently as Damon walked out of the bathroom, a white tower wrapped around his waist and another towel around his neck. She narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms as she leaned against the doorway, watching his movements slightly.

Damon eyed her weirdly as he pulled out his clothes from the closet. Emilia still had her eyes on him suspiciously, watching his every move.

"You wanna tell me where you were all day last night?" She asks, raising a questioning eyebrow.

Damon turned his head around to look at her, and he chuckled. "Excuse me?" He asks, standing up straight.

Emilia stood up straight and slowly walked to face Damon. "Where were you last night? I didn't see you at all." She repeated, staring directly into his blue orbs.

"I was busy." Damon only said, drying his hair with the white towel that was around his neck.

"Doing what?" Emilia asks, tilting her head questioningly.

"Busy doing something you haven't been able to do these days." He replies, shrugging.

"And that is?" She curiously urges him to continue, staring at him intently.

"Helping Elena and Jeremy." Damon continued and to be honest that hit Emilia hard.

"Thats bull-"

"Tell me, Emilia." Damon cuts her off, "When was the last time you saw Jeremy?" He asks.

Emilia closes her mouth and looks down at the floor, ashamed. Its been long since Emilia last saw Jeremy, probably since Jenna died. Emilia was too caught up in her problems that she couldn't find time to spend with him or Elena.

Emilia had been distant since she now stays at Damon's place, far away from her siblings. She has been a bitch in trying to save herself from Klaus that she didn't realize that she wasn't saving Jeremy from Klaus too.

Emilia looked back up at Damon who stared at her intently. She let out a shaky sigh, gulping down her regretful tears.

"What happened to them?" She asks hesitantly, her eyes brows furrowing.

"One of the hybrids tried running Jeremy over but they ended up running into Alaric because he was trying to save Jeremy. Now Jeremy cut off the hybrid's head and Alaric almost died but thanks to his ring, he's still alive. I compelled Jeremy to leave town and so he's leaving today." Damon explains while he changes.
