Sommatore

20.... Blood Brothers.

Allyson looks in on Stefan, who is locked in a cellar. Elena is on one side of her, and Damon is on the other. Elena is also watching Stefan with sad eyes. Allyson is oddly calm, almost emotionless. This worries Damon, he's never seen her like this. She's worried about Stefan, he knows that.

"It's so hard to awe him locked up like this." Elena comments.

"You're the one who locked him up." Allyson says, leaning into Damon's arms.

"Damon helped." Elena adds.

"I couldn't have him running aeoind chewing on people." Damon claims. "While the town is looking for vampires, now, can I?"

"It had nothing to do with you actually caring about him?" Elena asks.

"Your thing, not mine." Damon replies.

Damon pulls Allyson up close when Elena goes towards the door, and he kisses her. "You staying here, too?"

"Yes, but I'm staying for you, not Stefan." Allyson says as she kisses Damon's cheek. "I'll see you later, baby."

"See you later, Ally cat." Damon says before kissing her forehead. "Love you."

Allyson smiles before she runs out with Elena.

Allyson lays in Damon's room while Elena goes to the basement, so she can try getting Stefan to eat. It's too sad for Allyson to see him like that, so she hasn't been to the basement since earlier. She's usually in the living room, the kitchen, Damon's room or his bathroom.

"I'm going with Ric, wanna join?" Damon asks as he pokes his head in his room.

Allyson nods and she gets out of Damon's bed. She puts her flats on, and follows Damon out.

Damon, Alaric, and Allyson all walk towards an apartment building.

"This is the one here."  Alaric says as they enter the complex and go to the apartment door. "The récords show it was paid three months in advance."

"This is where it gets tricky." Damon states. "I may or may not be able to get in,"

"Yeah, how does that work?" Alaric asks. "You always have to be invited in?"

"By the owner or the person of entitlement." Damon replies. "Short-term rentals and hotels are a bit of a gray area. You kinda gotta play it by ear."

"Heh," is Alaric's simple response. "Could we not kill anyone tonight?"

"You mean, you just brought me along for my company?" Damon muses, that's why Damon brought Allyson, for her company, and he opens the apartment door.

"It doesn't look like anyone's home." Alaric says from inside, Allyson is by him.

Damon slowly steps in. "Yeah, I'm good, mo permanent resident, apparently." Damon walks into the kitchen and he opens the fridge, finding some blood bags. "Um, Ric, Ally, we have company."

A vampire jumps out, and he attacks Alaric. Alaric stabs stakes through his stomach with some type of knuckle weapon that makes Allyson smile. Damon throws the vampire off of Alaric.
