Compelling [Book 2] (Sequel to Salvatore. As In Savior.) DISCONTINUED

The Tomb Isn't That Bad

Damon burst into my room, "What?" I crossed my arms, "I thought being in a relationship meant telling the truth. Not keeping secrets." He glared at me, "You're one to talk." I uncrossed my arms, "No. I did that to protect you and Stefan; whereas you made me forget. Meaning, you compelled me. Is that what my mom saw?" His eyes softened, "Just let me explain-" "Forget it! I thought I could trust you and you compelled me! You sent the crow didn't you?" I didn't let him answer. I started packing a few shirts and things into a bag. Damon grabbed my shoulders, "What are you doing?" I pushed him away, "Leaving. I can't trust you, Damon. I see no future for us, if I can't trust you." He stood there, while I finished packing, keeping tears in my eyes. Even as I left through the door, he remained there, silent.

 I knocked on Elena's door. She opened it, "Ella? Oh, thank God! You're okay! Jeremy told me what Katherine did!" I smiled, "Yeah, I'm physically okay. Damon's been compelling me. Can I stay here for a few nights?" She gasped and nodded, "I'm so sorry. At least now with Katherine in the tomb she can't hurt us anymore." I held in a gasp. They put Kat in the tomb?! I nodded, "Yeah, well. Thanks for letting me stay here, but I need to go to the grill for something. I'll see you in a bit." I tugged my back pack higher on my shoulders and left. My phone buzzed. 'Stefan: Hey!!!!! Damon and I are @ the grill! Care to join? Lexi's with us!' I ignored it. Perfect. I ran to the Salvatore house. I opened the door. Jeez, Stefan! You should really learn how to lock a door! I walked into the basement and saw the little mini freezer that Damon and Lexi keep their blood in. I grabbed as many bags as I could and shoved them into my pack. I ran into the guest room and grabbed some pillows and some blankets. I also grabbed a spare toothbrush and some tooth paste. Jeez, Kat! You owe me!

 I stumbled around, trying to hold everything I brought for Kat. I had half of my closet in my hands, in case she wanted to change. I walked into the area where the tomb was. Shit! The door! I put down the clothes and looked at the little gap. I pushed and heaved with all my strength until it opened a little more. I picked up the clothes and squeezed through the space. Kat clapped when she saw me, "I never thought you would make it." I brushed my shirt with one hand, "Sorry. But I made it! I brought you stuff!" She led me to the back where there was a slab that was flat, probably functioning as a bed. She sat down, "What could you possibly bring me?" I put my bag down on the slab, "Well," I pulled out some things, "A portable DVD player, some batteries, and some clothes. Hmm, a toothbrush and toothpaste, my old tablet. Full battery!" She looked at it, "Thanks but-" I grabbed the blood bags, "You're hungry! I know! So I brought these!" She looked at them gratefully. I put them on the slab and she hugged me. I wheezed, "Can't... Breathe..." She laughed and released me, "Thank you. Really, I don't deserve this, yet you still brought them for me." I laughed, "Well, like you said, we're family. And we stick together. And I brought movies!" I took out all the DVD's that I had brought from the house; the Notebook, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Hunger Games, and some random ones.

 "Look! He smears the blood on her head!" Kat smacked me, "No... He's stroking her forehead." I laughed, "But it looks like he's smearing the blood!" She smacked me again, "Shh! I haven't seen this movie before and I'm about to strangle you!" I held in my laughter. Kat was so easily annoyed. She paused it, "Wha- Why?!" She held up a finger, "Someone's coming." "Ella! Ella!" I groaned, "Damon..." She furrowed her brows, "I thought you were dating him?" I shook my head, "I was until I found out he was compelling me." "About what?" I shrugged, "That's what I would like to know." Kat walked to the entrance of the tomb, "She's not here."

 "I can smell human blood."

 "She may have brought some... Supplies."

 "You sick bitch."

 I moved next to Katherine, "I did bring her stuff. Jeez, we're just watching a movie." Damon stiffened, "So help me, I'll-" I stomped my foot, "We're not dating anymore! You don't control me anymore!" He stepped closer, "So help me, I'll go in there and force you out." I laughed, "You wouldn't." He stepped in and I almost yelled. "Damon! Now you're stuck! And I'm still not leaving!" He grabbed me and pushed me out. I groaned and got off the ground. I walked back inside the tomb, "I'm not leaving." He grabbed me, "Don't make me compel you." I stood my ground, "Go ahead." He looked into my eyes, "Leave." I giggled, "Too bad, I ingested vervain." He sighed and sat down. I felt bad, I won't lie. I still love him and I always will. You just don't fall out of love with someone. I walked to the back and picked up one of the numerous blood bags. I walked back and sat down next to Damon, handing to him, "Katherine's not evil. She's one of my closest friends, Damon. You shouldn't have come in here." He grabbed the bag, "Yeah, well, you shouldn’t have either." I sighed, “I’ll find a way to get the both of you out of here. I promise.” Katherine walked in front of me, “Don’t make promises that you can’t keep.”
