I Know You [On Hiatus Indefinitely]

Chapter 4

I woke up the next morning in the guest room, which was right next to Damon’s room.

I had actually been surprised when Stefan had told me about a guest room because they had never mentioned any on the show and they certainly hadn’t shown any.

The guest room was small compared to the rest of the rooms in this house, but large compared to the size of the rooms in normal houses.

I rolled around on the bed for a few minutes before lazily stretching and getting off it to trot down the stairs. I saw Stefan sitting on the dining table with nothing in front of him and he was looking at the wall opposite him, deep in thought.

“Morning!” I greeted as I sat next to him and he gave me a polite smile in response.

“Did you get any sleep last night?” Stefan asked with concern.

“I slept like a log,” I told him reassuringly, “the guest room was pretty comfortable.”

“So what would you like to eat for breakfast?” he asked

“I usually have a bowl of milk and cereal but….” I trailed off as Stefan sped into the kitchen.

“How about some eggs and baked beans for breakfast today?” Stefan asked.

I looked at him shocked, suddenly realising that he had been sitting here waiting for me to wake up and come downstairs all this time so that he could make me some breakfast. “You’re a really good person Stefan,” I said truthfully.

“So is that a yes?” he asked with a small laugh as he sat opposite me.

“Yes it is,” I laughed back, “and this breakfast is delicious.” I swallowed a mouthful of breakfast before eating another spoonful of the tasty food.

“You think this is delicious? Wait till you try Damon’s food,” Stefan said with a smile, but it was gone before it had even appeared.

“Your brother,” I said nodding my head.

“You know about him?” Stefan asked whipping his head in my direction.

“Thought you could keep her in the dark about me forever, little brother?” Damon asked and we both turned around to see him standing right at the door. I groaned, knowing exactly what was going to happen right now.

“Damon?” Stefan looked at him, surprised, “What are you doing over here?”

“I came here to check on you,” Damon cocked his head in Stefan’s direction, showing fake concern on his face, “and on that perky chick you were talking to yesterday.”

Stefan got up, his hands balled up into fists as he stepped towards Damon. But before things could get any worse, I put my hand on Stefan’s shoulder. “You have to go to school,” I told him calmly, “before you get late.”

Stefan raised his eyebrows at me unsurely, but I nodded my head as I pushed him towards the door. “I’ll be fine,” I whispered to him.

Damon smirked as he circled us and continued talking, “What’s her name…..Elena? She looks exactly like Katherine, even delicious enough to eat.”

“Damon I swear that if you try to hurt her….” Stefan started off angrily.

“What are you going to do about it Stef?” Damon asked, a devilish glint in his eye as he waited for Stefan to accept his challenge, “You can’t kill me since I’m a lot stronger than you and maybe I won’t even have to compel Elena to like me.”

Stefan froze at that sentence and all my attempts at pushing him out the door were completely useless, “What do you mean Damon?”

I know you might find it hard to believe little brother,” Damon said as he walked closer to Stefan, and suddenly I knew exactly what Damon was going to say to him, “but some girls just can’t resist my good looks, my style and my charm….”
