Runaway Gilbert

Chapter 7

My head snapped towards the figure and my eyes widened I pushed Damon off me as quick as possible, jumping up I attempted to straighten out my shirt and compose myself. It wasn't that I was embarrassed of what me and Damon were doing its just that this wasn't exactly the way I wanted to come out to one of my family members.

"Uncle John," I acknowledged, he was staring at me with wide eyes as if he has seen a ghost. Even though I managed to keep my composure I was just hoping the ground would open up and swallow me up. "I didn't know you were back in town"

"I could say the same about you" His voice sounded strange, it was hard to tell the reason why though whether it be I'm gay, I'm with Damon or that I'm back in town after months. He opened his mouth to make another comment when Damon cut him off quickly, sensing my discomfort.

"This is about the council am I correct?" He asked, but before John could respond Damon cut him off again. "So we'll need to be alone, sorry doll but you'll need to go wait in our room for a bit is that okay?" All I could do was nod causing Damon to smile at me, he planted a soft kiss on my lips before ushering me out of the room and towards ours.

Getting Kris out was my first priority and once he was gone I could focus on the other problem that was John Gilbert.

"What do you want John," I asked I was truly pissed with him, one he interrupted me and two the guys a dick. "Don't give me some bullshit about vampires cause we both know that you don't care," I gave him a smirk. "I mean your talking to me and not to mention Isabelle"

"Isabelle and I share a mutual interest" He replied with a smug look on his face. "What were you doing with my Nephew? Why is he here?"

" Not important," I quickly brushed over both questions there was no way I was talking about Kris to this guy. "What did you come here for?" Causing anger to flash across his eyes as he realised that I wasn't talking about Kris.

"The original Jonathan Gilbert had a device, which was stolen by a vampire and that vampire was then burnt alive in the Fell church or so Jonathan thought and the invention was lost forever" John paused and I let out a hum as an invitation to continue. "But then the vampires weren't killed were they, they were trapped and now they're free thanks to you which means the invention is now retrievable"

"Well what is it?" I asked trying to sound intrigued.

"That's not the point the point is that I want it back and your gonna help me get it back if you want your secret kept." I couldn't believe that he was threatening me. "And you want to keep Kris kept safe don't you"

"You lay a hand on him and I'll sever your hand pull your ring off and kill you too," I threatened, there was no way he was going to touch Kris on my watch. "I don't know where the device is or who has it" I said through gritted teeth.

"He had a journal that had the name Pearl in it does that ring a bell to you Damon" He asked completely over looking my threat, the statement causing me to smirk.

"You see the only reason I tolerated you and Isabelle's little black mail scheme was because I thought you could lead me towards Katherine, but you just proved you have no idea," I revealed causing him to give me a confused look. "because if you did you'd know Pearl was Katherine's best friend, see you don't know everything John now get out" His face remained stoic, but his eyes showed defeat as he made his way around me and out the door.

I made my way to my bedroom to find Kris on the bed when I went in, he shot up when I entered the room.

"What did he want?" He asked and just from looking at him I could tell he was nervous.

"I was right it was just council stuff," Causing him to let out a sigh of relief. "I got you a suit when I went to the council meeting you need to get changed, we have places to be doll" He gave me a confused look.

"Where are we going?" Kris asked staring up at me with those wide eyes that drew you in the more you looked at them. 

"To the Miss Mystic Falls event" I replied with a smirk.
