The Little Lockwood

Twenty Six

EDITED

 In the days that followed, Damon and Elena had returned home with Jeremy who is unharmed thank goodness.

And although Damon was thrilled to be reunited with me, I felt a distance between us put there by him. And it bothered me. I missed our instant connection.

My inner wolf was saddened by his distant moods and overall guilty aura he seemed to have.

Don't get me wrong, the sex was still absolutely mind blowing and perfect, but it was before and after sex that was different about him.

Anything outside the bedroom wasn't the same.

On another hand, Esther apparently turned Alaric into an evil vampire hunter who is also an Original vampire. Currently he is holding Caroline hostage at Mystic Falls Highschool, along with Elena. Esther tied Alaric's vampire life to Elena's.  So if she dies then he will die.

I'm with Stefan and Klaus on a rescue mission. I volunteered because I didn't want Damon anywhere near this shit show of a situation. So I told him to stay with Bonnie and Jeremy where it is safe. And Klaus decided to stick around for a few more days since his mother was still trying to kill him and his siblings.

Bonnie said her mother had used a desiccation spell on a vampire before, so we are planning on using that on Alaric. 

As we get out of Klaus's car, Stefan receives a text.

"Abby just showed up," he tells us as he scans the message. Our plan was in action.

I nod in approval as we stand outside the school.

Klaus looks at me then at Stefan,

"Good. perhaps this plan won't be an epic failure after all. You know, if this does go off and we drop the history teacher in the Atlantic, I'm still leaving with Elena," he looks at me, 

"I hope you decide to come too little wolf."

I roll my eyes and stay quiet, trying desperately to avoid this dreadful feeling of sadness that's being lodged inside of me at the thought of Klaus leaving.

Stefan, though, speaks up, 

"I'll go with you."

"What?" I ask him, surprised myself as I have heard from Damon that there was nothing salvageable between Stefan and Elena anymore.

"Really? what's the catch?" Klaus asks him, his surprise matched my own.

Stefan shakes his head, 

"There's no catch. I'd turn my back on everything here to make sure Elena is safe."

Klaus chuckles a bit, 

"And that is what makes you her better option. It's a shame it's not easier for Elena to see that, I mean personally, I think she's wasting her time with Damon."

My heart stops.  What does he mean by that? I think to myself, the dreaded sadness feeling suddenly doubling.

"Damon and Elena have nothing between them. Damon would've told me if something happened," I narrow my eyes at Klaus, trying to ease myself more than tell Klaus.

The hybrid looks between Stefan and I, his blue eyes amused by my jealously and sureness of tone, 

"Are you sure? Well then, perhaps I should let Elena decide which Salvatore joins us, being as Damon tells you absolutely everything Debria."

I cross my arms over my chest, doing my best to remain confident in Damon, 

"Go for it."

Stefan looks at me awkwardly, 

"Debria, something did happen between Damon and Elena in Denver. Elena tried to talk to me about it but I told her I didn't want to know. But she has feelings for him, I do know this for sure."

I shake my head at Stefan as we keep walking, 

"No, absolutely not. Damon would've told me. My inner wolf chose him as my mate, he knows how sacred that is for me."

Klaus's eyes seem enraged at this new information and he turns quickly to face me, 

"How is that possible? Wolves are only able to have mates with other wolves."

I step towards Klaus, my eyes blazing a bright blue my teeth bared in a grimace, 

"Yeah well I'm not just any wolf. I am a Lycanthrope."

My anger getting the best of me, I walk away from them and into the forest behind Mystic Falls High.

Taking a deep breath I shift into my wolf. Black fur spurting across my body as I grow to the size of a horse, my paws touching the ground. I throw my head back and howl once. A long and lonely sound.

I desperately needed some space at this moment. Alaric and Elena can wait.
