being a Gilbert is not all its cracked up to be (vampire diaries fan fiction)

sibling bond mending, Elena needs Layla's blood, Conner the vampire hunter

“love why don't you and rose go on a shopping spree for two days” klaus suggests. i look over at him. “what about mason?” i ask. “well i was wanting to have some bonding time with him. he’s almost two so i think i should strengthen the father son connection and if he needs to be watched for a little bit i will have one of the hybrids watch him till i can” he says. “sure but if that does happen i want mia to watch him. i trust her with him” i say and he smiles and kisses me. ‘i’ll have rose start packing” he says and hands me a credit card “buy as much and whatever you want it's unlimited and in your name” he says and kisses me.

i walk into the mall and to the hair place. “how can i help you” a peppy blonde asks. “i want my hair dyed black please and then curled” i tell her and she nods. after getting my hair dyed i go out shopping. after buying my new wardrobe i meet up with rose and we go out to eat. i eat a male in his 20s and she eats his buddy. after that i walk to my car and we head home.

~mystic falls~

i walk inside our house and look around. “klaus” i call. i hear a whoosh and see klaus standing there in front of me. he groans “you going to kill me love you are too sexy for you own good” he says and smashes his lips to mine. “well hello to you too” i say after we break the kiss. “you look beautiful by the way” he says. “well i need to meet elena at the grill something about the council blowing up” i tell him. “you may help them with whatever they need as long as it's not to hurt us i’ll take care of little mas” klaus says and i smile.

i walk into the grill and spot a familiar looking man. i walk up to him and plop down two seats next to him. i look into the bartenders eyes and hack into his brain “a bourbon on the rocks” i tell him and he gets it. he sets it down and i take a swing. “hmmm someone got sexified” i hear damon groan in approval. “hmm and someone is still a dick” i smile. “so miss layla what brings you out of the house” he asks. “council blew up elena needs my help and since i’m a good sister help i shall” i tell him.

he scoffs and i kick his shin making him wince in pain. i see elena walk up “Did you do it?” she demands and begins to sit down “That seat's taken” damon says. “But there's no one here” she says. “Well, I'm just going to pretend like there's someone there, because the alternative is just too damn depressing” he says and she moves to his other side and sits down in between me and damon. “Did you set off the explosion that killed the Town Council?” she asks again

“Am I wearing my "I Blew Up The Council" t-shirt, why does everybody keep asking me that?” he asks sarcastically. “Did you?” she asks yet again. “No. Anything else?” he asks and Elena hesitates. “Yes, something's wrong. I can't keep any of the animal blood down” she says and my eyes widen. ‘she’s a vampire and i was not notified’ i think. “Well, there's a shock” he states sarcastically. “I think I need your help” she says and i tsk her in my head ‘don't play them both’ i think to her.

Damon sighs “Of course you do. Pick your meal, You've got Asian fusion. Mexican. What about some good old American comfort food?” damon says pointing to different people. i roll my eyes she’s not going to hurt anyone. “No. No, no human blood. Stefan's right, I have to at least try to get through this without hurting anyone” she says proving my point. Damon finishes his drink and gets up. “Fine, come on” he says and grabs Elena's arm and drags her with him.

They enter the bathroom together. He closes the door and locks it behind them. after a few moments i gulp my drink and follow them. i unlock the door with my mind and watch them while leaning against the door frame. “What do you mean it's personal?” she asks. “Just drink” he sighs. Elena looks down at his hand and back at him. He nods his head. She grabs his hand in hers and starts to drink. She closes her eyes and lays her head on his shoulder as she continues to drink. Damon strokes Elena's hair. They fall back onto one of the bathroom stalls.
