CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

BREANA WAS ON the phone with Damon while she was fixing her bag, getting ready for school, she was calling Stefan but it was the elder Salvatore who answered the call.

"I'm supposed to help build the Miss Mystic float for the Founders' Day parade." Breana said, "If I don't, I get the wrath of Caroline but I wanted to check in first."

"Well, I'm doing great, thanks for asking." Damon smirked over the phone.

Breana rolled her eyes, "Checking on Stefan." She stated.

"Oh, him?" Damon said, groaning, "Oh, he's...he's terrible."

Breana frowned, pausing as she was walking down the stairs towards her living room, "What's the matter?"

"He's just back to boring, straight-laced, off the junk." Damon said sarcastically from the other line causing Breana to roll her eyes in amusement, "You've successfully cured him of anything that was interesting about his personality."

"Don't forget who helped me." Breana sang teasingly.

"I hate myself." Damon joked as he smiled, "Did Elena mention anything about John telling her about my field trip with the history teacher and your annoying brother?"

"No." Breana answered, "As far as I know, she's still avoiding him and I'm still not talking to her." She said, "Why don't you ask Elena? You two have been fast friends anyway." She said bitterly.

Damon smirked, "Jealous?"

"No." Breana denied, "Anyway, what about John? What's he up to?"

"I don't know." Damon muttered, "But I'd love if you could find out for me."

Breana groaned, "Talk to Elena about it, not me." She grumbled, "I've got to go, I'm late." She said as she walked out of her house.

"Have fun with the Mystic queen, I know I did." Damon said and Breana scoffed.

Damon entered Alaric's classroom where Elena, Stefan and Breana were waiting for him. Alaric had told them to follow him to the classroom since something came up—Isobel.

While waiting for the raven haired vampire, Breana decided to start talking to Elena since it was a little bit of a good idea to vervain Stefan, although she still didn't like the fact that she didn't know about it and that Stefan got hurt.

The door opened and Damon entered all in his glory as heads turned towards him, "Damon thanks for coming." Alaric nodded his head, he was leaning against the table with his arms crossed.

"Sorry I'm late. My dog ate my uh..." Damon started to say as he was looking at Alaric, he turned to look at Breana, Stefan and Elena, who looked far from amused, "Never mind." He muttered, "What's with all the furrowed brows?" He frowned as well, looking at Alaric then to Breana who was sitting next to Elena in an armchair with a worried frown.

"I saw Isobel last night." Alaric revealed causing Damon to turn to him again.

"Isobel is here?" Damon asked and Alaric nodded his head, "In town?" He asked again as Breana turned her head and looked at Elena, who looked back at her unease, "Did you ask her about Uncle John? Are they working together?"

"No." Alaric answered.

"No they're not?" Damon asked.

"No, I didn't ask." Alaric said.

Damon tilted his head, "What about the invention?"

"Didn't ask."

"Did she know about the tomb vampires?" Damon continued to ask.
