The Döppelganger Witch

🐺Eight🐺

Ella woke up her first day  back at Mystic Falls with some feeling of great happiness in her heart .

She had her favourite guardian back and she had Damon who'd become like a second father to her .

They'd come back home the previous night and Stefan had carried her into her room like when she was a little girl  .

There were people in the parlour downstairs ,but she was too sleepy to even register who they were .

She just hope that they weren't there anymore . She wanted her Uncles for herself for a change and didn't need nosy people around.

She gets out of bed to go to her bathroom and decides to take a bath before she'll have to face Stefan and Damon again . Not that she didn't want to face them . She wanted to . They are after all her guardians .

She takes a bath and also washes her hair .

After the  bath she gets dressed in pink denim shorts and a black top with pink unicorns on it . She just  loved unicorns. They were so cool .

She's drying her hair when a knock comes on her open door .

" Come in !", she calls not bothering to look back when the person steps into the room  .

" Morning , Munchkin", Stefan says  from behind her  ,looking into her mirror, meeting her eyes .

" Morning ,Uncle Stefan ".
" Slept well?", he asks ,taking the hairdryer from her to help her dry her hair .

" Uh huh, school nurse gave me a potion to use if I don't want to dream this Summer ".

" Oh, good, I'm glad about that ".

" Did you sleep well ,Uncle Stefan?".

" Yes ,I did , thank you ,Ella ".

They were pussyfooting around each other ,making casual conversation  . She didn't know why , but she knew , even if she forgave him, a part of her would always fear him . She couldn't go back to trusting him completely . She wished she could ,but he'd shown her a side of him that scared her and that changed everything .

She was also getting older . Growing up . She would be thirteen in July .That was something all children went through  . Changing into mini adults who didn't need all those cuddling and stuff anymore.

Once her hair was dry he gently combed them and while he's busy with that Damon comes walking into the room.

"The whole Scooby Gang is downstairs and the Mikealsons . I hope you know what you're doing , letting them come into our house ".

" Damon , stop complaining and give me that rubber band over there ..no the one with the unicorns ...thanks ".

" Since when do you do girls' hair ?", Damon asks lounging on Ella's bed while looking at how   quickly and efficiently  Stefan braids Ella's hair .

" Years of practice , Damon ", he answers then smiles at Ella adding " and I'm done , how does it look ? , Is it okay ?".

Ella nods smiling back at him before she runs off towards her bed to jump onto Damon who starts a fake wrestling match with her . Even if she was getting older she sure still loved cuddling and stuff.

Stefan shakes his head and rolls his eyes  at that .

" Come on , you two , we can't have the people sitting alone downstairs , we're being bad hosts ".

" Do I have to come too?",Ella groans as she gets up to follow Stefan out of her room .

" Yes ,Ella , you need to eat breakfast and Bonnie is making breakfast for you ", he answers .
