Another Chance: As a Human

Chapter Thirteen: Here We Are

*10 minutes earlier*

I get out the car and shut the door. "Why are we here Silas?" 

"Because I think that we should stay with them." We make our way to the door

"Last time I checked, Damon lives here. That means we will be going straight into his hands." 

"I thought that's what you wanted?" I snap my head to that familiar voice

"Oh, and I called Nadia." 

"I see that. And no that is not what I wanted. I wanted him to come to us." 

We make our way to the door and walk straight inside. I look around and no one is here.

"Elena! Stefan!" I shout for them, no one responds

"They aren't even here. Let's go." 

"You aren't going anywhere." We all put our attention on Damon

He has a glass of bourbon in his left hand and his right hand is nearly balled into a fist. He points at me. "Tonight Katherine, I kill you." 

He speeds over to me and pins me up against the front door. I chant something and he goes flying and he hits his back against the edge of the fireplace. He groans as he hits the ground and quickly gets back up. He tries to come back at me and Nadia runs over to him and snaps his neck. 

"Thanks, Nadia." 

"Nobody tries to hurt my mother. I'll be back, I have the stench of Damon on my hands" She smiles and I smile back 

Silas and I sit down on the couch and a few moments later we hear the door open. Silas and I get off the couch and stand up. She notices Damon on the ground and runs over to him.

"Oh my God." 

"I didn't kill him. Well technically." I say

"What do you mean technically?" Elena looks over at me

"Meaning, I snapped his neck."

They all look in the direction and see Nadia.

"Look, it's a long story. We don't have much time. Please, sit." 

*PRESENT*

"Why didn't you kill him?" She asks looking at me

"I would have but Nadia snapped his neck instead." I answer

"You could have staked him or something while he was dead." Stefan interjects

"I could have, to be honest, you guys kind of walked in at the perfect time. I am willing to do it your way as long as there is a couple of conditions." 

"Anything." 

"We keep him vervained and locked in the cellar. If I'm going to be staying with you guys I don't need Him killing me in my sleep." I demand

"No, We are not doing that to my brother." 

"Okay. I'll just kill him." I step toward Damon

"Wait!" Stefan shouts "Fine, we will do it." 

"Good, Now, are you guys going to show Silas and me to our room?" I ask 

"To your room, as in a room together?" Qetisyah speaks up

"Oh, I'm sorry, Is that a problem? I forgot Silas is your one true love. I don't want to be turned to stone." I look back at Silas. "No offense to Amara." I smile and turn back to face Qetsiyah

"Pssh, I'm not going to turn you into stone. Plus, apparently, I'm with your one true love so I guess that makes us even." I hear Stefan chuckle from beside her

"Oh, that doesn't bother me. Silas is better in bed." I wink at her

Stefan chokes of his freshly poured glass of bourbon. His eyes go wide and he looks at me. 

"I'm just kidding, Silas and I haven't slept together...." I pause "Yet. I'll just stay in the same room I did last time I stayed with you guys. Well, the time I was a vampire, not a dying human." I wave them off and Silas, Nadia, and I go upstairs. 

They follow my lead and I open the door. I go straight to the dresser and open the drawers. 

"Looks they didn't throw out my clothes. I make my way back over to the walk-in closet and see my booties and heels. "Or my shoes."

"Do you really need that many shoes?" Silas asks 

"Nope, but I have that many anyway. What can I say? I like shopping." I smile

Nadia rolls her eyes and laughs. 

"Nadia, your room will be down the hall to the right. Unless you aren't going to stay here with us. Also, Silas, we will need to defer for the semester if we are going to be stuck here in this hellhole."

"I'll get the bags out of the car." Silas offers

"When did you have time to get our bags?" 

"Nadia got them while we were out. I knew you would stay here." 

"And how did you figure that, Silas." I snap

"I see you guys have something to work out, so I'll go get the bags." With that Nadia walks off 

"So What? You were just going to force me to stay here?" I tap my foot

"No, I just knew that you would agree with me." 

"Why? Did you think just because I confessed my feeling for you I would just listen to you?" 

"No, I was just wishing you would worry about your safety. I know you think that you can always protect yourself, but even with your magic, you could still get hurt. I don't know what I would do if I lost you." Silas sighs  

I walk up to him and place my hand on his cheek and rub it with my thumb. His eyes drop down to my hand and linger there. 

"Hey, look at me," He moves his eyes from my hand to my eyes "Nothing is going to happen to me, I promise." I go in to kiss him and somebody ruins the moment.

I turn my head in the direction of the person clearing their throat and see Stefan. 

"Way to ruin a perfect moment, Stef." I smile sarcastically 

"I just came up here to tell you that Damon is awake, and he wants to talk to you." 

I turn around and look Silas in the eyes. 

"He'll have to wait until tomorrow, I have something to finish up here." I say not looking at Stefan.

"Well, I'll just leave you guys to what you were doing." I hear his steps as he walks away

"Now where were we?"  

"I think you were about to kiss me." He smiles

I return to my earlier position and I go in for the kiss again.

"I got your bags." Nadia comes in

"Oh my God, next person to come in I'm going to kill them." 

"Before you go doing that." Elena walks in 

"Geez, I'm trying to have some quality time with Silas here and everyone keeps interrupting." 

"Oh. Sorry, No one will bother you for the rest of the night. Goodnight." And with that, she leaves

"Nadia just leave the bags by the door and close it on your way out." 

"Okay. Goodnight Mother, Silas." She leaves and closes the door like told

"I'm not going to wait to be interrupted again." 

Silas lightly grips my face and smashes his lips against mine. He licks my lower lip for entrance and I was eager enough to part my lips. He slips his tongue inside and connects with mine. We move them together rhythmically and it feels just like it did before, amazing. He tastes of mint chocolate, a great combination. I pull away and look into his eyes.

"Silas." I breathe out

"Yes?" He asks

"Make love to me."
