Where Have You Been {Vampire Diaries fanfic}

Chapter 16

“Good morning brother,” Damon smiled at Stefan as he entered the kitchen. “How’d you sleep?”

“Dick,” Stefan yelled as he went after Damon.

“Stefan!” Elena yelled as she used her vampire speed to stand between the brothers. She was totally going to miss this after tonight when she was going to become human again, or die.

“Elena, you look lovely,” Damon said grabbing his jacket. “I made you guys breakfast for your first day back at school,” Damon said as he walked out of the kitchen.

“Where are you running to?” Stefan demanded.

“Council meeting with Jess, don’t wait up.”

Damon didn’t know Jess changed the time of the meeting and she had managed to get everyone on board with their plan to remove the originals by any means necessary. “Mr. Salvatore how wonderful of you to join us,” Linda said with an ice cold glare.

Damon smiled and took a seat in the back. Jess used some spell to convince the council he, Caroline, and Stefan weren’t vampires. Damon studied Bonnie’s father. Mayor Wilson seemed to be really interested in what Jess was saying, or he liked the short tight pencil skirt she was wearing. “Those are my outlines of his property and the copy of my floor plan for the holding cell improvements,” she said handing out packets.

Damon escorted Jess to her car once the meeting was over. “I didn’t think you were coming,” she smiled at him.

“Or you just didn’t want me to come,” Damon smiled back at her.

“You were being really self-destructive last night. There’s a lot riding on this,” she shrugged. “I didn’t want you to fuck it all up.”

“Katherine may have gotten to me a little,” he shrugged.

“A little, you almost knocked Stefan’s head off his shoulders,” Jess laughed her loud obnoxious laugh.

“I’m sorry,” he said looking into her eyes.

“I’m not the one you decked.”

“You’re the one I was trying to hurt and I did,” he said looking everywhere but at her.

Jess smiled at him and his poor attempt at an apology. “Stop trying to prove you’re better than you’re brother. It’s a pointless fight,” she said as she got into her car.

“Because he’s clearly the winner,” Damon said giving her one last look.

“If that’s what you believe,” she smiled and pulled off.

Caroline, Bonnie and Elena were at the Gilbert house with David. They were planning Elena’s revival. Elena didn’t know if she could handle being a vampire anymore. Especially now that Damon decided he wanted out. Elena knew it was in Damon’s nature to go over board and do something reckless and stupid when he didn’t get his way. Never would she imagine he’d just up and leave her and Stefan when they needed him most.

“So Caroline you do whatever it takes to keep the Salvatores away from the Wickery Bridge, Bonnie you are going to be the north point on our triangle, and Elena you are going to be just fine,” David said smiling at her. Elena didn’t know what it was about David that got to her, but he was very comforting and funny especially when he picked on Jess and Jamie.

“Are you guys sure this is the only way to turn Elena back?” Caroline asked.

“There aren’t many revival spells, and most of them aren’t permanent. This is the only spell were all the pieces naturally fell in place, so we’re going with it,” David said. “You do want to do this still, Elena?”
