On My Own (TVD Series)

Unforgettable Love

Damon's POV

Standing outside of the house with Stefan, the both of us waited as Elena signed the deeds to the house, with Bonnie inside with her. 

 "You really think Bonnie can take on Klaus?" I asked Stefan, as I leaned on the brick wall watching our front lawn.

"She said she could channel enough witches' power to kill him. Elijah thought that would work and he was an Original, so."

"Bonnie never channeled the power of the witches...she never got the chance," I whispered.

"What do you mean?"

"Elizabeth Blackwell is the sole owner of that entire acre, she caught us just before Bonnie could even try, and if she had succeeded, Elena would be burying Bonnie right about now."

"Elizabeth? Lauren's sister?"

"Yep, and their older brother, James. The one the vanished out of thin air just after their father's death. They said that the witches inside that house were all ancestors, and the only person who could channel that power had to be Lauren. The house is hers, Stefan." I hissed.

"So, all of this...we did it for nothing?"

"Yep. Our secret weapon isn't Bonnie...it's Lauren." I whispered.

"But, if she finds out about Klaus...we have no idea what she would do?"

"I do. She'll kill you first. And then Klaus would have his Doppelganger, the moonstone, and the girl he loves."

"So, to kill Klaus, Bonnie's basically useless."

"If she sees him and tries to do her witchy voodoo things on him, she'll get Elena killed"

Hearing the door open, Elena and our lawyer, walk out of the house, just as he went on with his day.

"Thank you, Mr. Henry."

Waving Mr. Henry goodbye, the both of us stood outside of the house, waiting on Elena.

"I'm sorry, I completely forgot. Stefan, would you like to come inside my house?" Elena whispered.

"I would love to. Thank you."

"What are we, 12?" I hissed.

"One of us is. If I let you in, do you promise to obey the owner of this house?"

"No." I blurted out.

"Seriously, Damon."

"You forget, that once you turn 18, this house becomes Lauren's right? Zach gave it to her for the meantime." I added.

"Well, until that time comes, it's my house. My way, you promise. I call the shots. No lies, no secret agendas. Remember?"

"Fine...yes, Elena. Sure."

"Then please, come in."

Striding inside the house, I glare over at Stefan, who had a smirk across his face.

"Shut up." I hissed.

"Thanks."

"Wait, where are you going?" Stefan asked Elena as I headed for the bourbon.

"To school."

"Huh?"

"No, no, no. We didn't create a safe house for you to leave it." I hissed.

"Yeah, guys. Klaus is out there. We know that." Stefan said.

"Right. But where? No one knows? Look, I really appreciate what you guys are doing and I'll be able to sleep at night knowing that I'll be safe here, but I'm not going to be a prisoner." Elena said.
