Love's bitter sacrifice 🥀💋🍷🖤🌹

The founders' party

In the evening,Elena got ready for the party. She was dressing when Mrs. Lockwood,Tyler's mum,called.
Elena: Hello,Mrs. Lockwood. Everything is all right? [....] What? Are you sure? 'Cause I saw it in the box. [....] I'll look for it. See you tonight!
Elena went angry in Jeremy's room.
Elena: Jeremy! Where is the pocket watch?
Jeremy: What? What are you talking about?? I don't know anything!
Elena: Are you sure,Jeremy??
Jeremy: Yes,I am! I didn't take it!
Jacob: I did!
Elena: What....Why?
Jacob: It was a family inheritance. It would be give to the older one. The first child. And this is all I have for my parents,apparently...
Jeremy: Stop doing this! That's enough! You are not my brother! You're just a stupid who believed in someone's statements. Someone who was laughing on you! Don't you get it??
Jacob: Yes,I believed. Because my entire live I lived without a family. When I've been hearing about your family twice,I was really excited and happy! Probably you're right. Maybe I'm not your brother. But all I want is just a family. I don't care it isn't normal or you don't agree with me. 'cause all I want is just a little family love. I wanna be protect by someone. Please,try to understand me. You've just lose your parents. You are in pain. Think about and try to understand I live with that pain. I'm not insane.
Jacob went to his room and Jeremy grow thoughtful. Elena left Jacob's pocket watch and went downstairs.
Jenna: Elena! Watch this,watch this! I'm trying to be a grown up. Elena,don't be late! You have school tomorrow,remember. So,don't talk to the stranger ,to the guys or to the stranger guys, get it??
Elena: Very well,aunt Jenna!
Jenna: Cool! Ok,now. What do you say? Green or red dress?
Elena: The red one is prettier. The green one makes you younger.
Jenna: The green one.
Elena went to the terrace to take her shoes. When she opened the door,Stefan was there with a bouquet of roses.
Elena: Hi! What are you doing? I thought you're home...
Stefan: No,I take you for the party. These are for you.
Elena: Thank you! They are beautiful...Smells good.
Stefan: Glad. Shall we go?
Jenna: Elena,let's go to get drunk and....Oh,hi! I'm Jenna! Elena's aunt.
Stefan: Stefan. Nice to meet you.
Jenna: So,Elena,we'll see on the party (winked) *Good luck*.
So Stefan and Elena drove to the party.
Stefan: You're aunt..
Elena: Oh no! She's...She's....crazy. She didn't want to say that.
Stefan: No,no,it's ok. I think shs's very funny.
Elena: Yeah,she is. And she's so kind and....I love her.
Stefan: And I love you.
Elena: Aww,so sweet.
They went to the door but Stefan stopped.
Elena: What? Let's go in.
Stefan: Maybe we should call the mayor. It's his house,right?
Elena: So...
Stefan: So he is suppose to invite us. That's polite.
Elena: What? Wait....Come on in! This is stupid...
Richard Lockwood (Mayor): Hey! Good evening! Glad to see you,Mr. Salvatore and Ms. Gilbert. Come on in! Let's go dance.
Stefan and Elena went in and go to the bar.
Stefan: Do you want something to drink?
Elena: Ice tea.
Stefan: What? No,Elena,something to drink I mean alcohol. So? Margarita? Gin? Tequila? Bourbon?
Elena: Let's try margarita.
Stefan: Ok.
While Stefan was ordering,Elena was reading a list from 1870 with all the invites.
Elena: Stefan? In the 1870 list writes Damon Salvatore and Stefan Salvatore.
Stefan: Yeah? Probably it's a mistake or...
Damon: The first Salvatore brothers. They are our forbears.
Stefan: Damon! You're here...
Damon: Yes,I am.
Caroline: Hey! Stefan! Do you wanna dance? I want to but Damon doesn't.
Damon: [Shake his head]
Caroline: So Stefan?? Ah,Elena. Do you let him?
Elena: It's his decision...
Caroline: Then I don't accept a refuse.
Caroline and Stefan were dancing while Damon and Elena were sitting on a couch.
Elena: Can I ask you something? Why you and Stefan are so upset with each other?
Damon: Because of a girl. Doesn't it always come down to the love of a woman?
Elena: So....What happened?
Damon: Well,never mind. She's dead.
Elena: Wow!
Damon: Her name was Katherine. She was with Stefan while she petted with me in bed.
Elena: So,Stefan is upset.
Damon: Not really. I am more upset than he is. You'll understand why later.
Elena: No! Please,tell me.
Damon: No, I really can't. But I promise I'll be the one who tell you. If you have any questions, please come to me.
Stefan: Hey, guys! Come on! Let's have a drink.
Stefan gave them a glass of champagne. Damon took it and he was already to drink, but he spilled the champagne on the floor.
Damon: Vervain... Good for you, Stefan. Now I am angry and upset. Oh, no! What am I gonna do?
Stefan went outside and Damon went in the other room.
Elena: What was that??
Caroline: I don't know. It's creepy. But your boyfriend almost killed mine. So do you come to the bathroom?

Stefan was speaking on the phone.
Stefan: It was his favorite champagne. I don't know how he felt.
Zach: He is strong and smart, Stefan. But no stronger than Vervain. I think we should try again.
Damon: Or not.
Stefan: I gotta go. Did you hear this conversation? You were in the other room.
Damon: Yes,Stefan. I heard because I feed with human blood,not animal blood. I'm stronger than you and you should know that.
Stefan: What do you want?
Damon: Revenge. Plus, I promised you an eternity of me,didn' I? Elena... So beautiful.
Stefan: Don't touch her!
Damon: No, I won't. Only if you help me to bring Katherine back.
Stefan: What?? How?
Damon: I just need the moonstone and the Gilbert's invention.
Stefan: That pocket watch?
Damon: Yes. And then I'll find a witch who will do the spell. You should stay with Elena while I have Katherine. Or maybe we should switch them. I found a Bennett witch.
Stefan: Who?
Damon: Bonnie Bennet. Elena's friend.
Stefan: Do you even love Caroline?
Damon: I don't even like her. But she brings me closer to Elena.
Stefan: Are you insane??
Damon: You don't know how much it hurt me when I was seeing you dance with Katherine. You don't know how my I suffered in this whole time. I want a cure. And this cure is Elena.

Elena and Caroline were at the bathroom. They were making up when Elena saw a lot of bruises and bites on Caroline's skin.
Elena: Caroline! What happened to you?? Are you OK? Does your mum know that? She's the sheriff...
Caroline: What? I'm fine! Do you talk about these? I fell in the kitchen.
Elena: I don't think so... Somebody hit you. Is that Damon?
Caroline: No.
Elena: Of course he is. Why? What happened, Caroline?
Caroline: Elena, you're so.... Yes, he was! He bit me and hit me. Are you happy?
Elena: No, I'm not! And neither you!
Caroline: Elena, please!

So they went outside. Damon and Stefan came back too.
Elena: So, Stefan... Do you wanna dance anymore?
Stefan: My pleasure.
Stefan and Elena went on the dance ring while Damon and Caroline sit at the bar. Damon drank whiskey in sourness when he saw them. They were looking so happy,so in love, so peaceful. They were smiling and laughing. Stefan touched her back with tanderness. Elena looked into his eyes lovely.
Caroline: They look so good togheter, don't they?
Damon: Please, don't talk.
Caroline: Baby,we've got a problem... I might tell Elena about the bites.
Damon: What? You've got a problem.

Elena and Stefan went outside. Next to the Lockwood manor it was a lake. They went there and hugged under the moon light.
Stefan: This is gorgeous.
Elena: All I want is just that night never ends.
Stefan: What did Damon say to you?
Elena: He...told me about Katherine.
Stefan: Really?
Elena: She's dead so doesn't matter,right?
Stefan: No,Elena. I wanted tell you but...Be careful with Damon. He's bad. He wants to hurt you.
Elena: Really? Because while I stayed with him it was good. He told me everything and I found him very sentimental.
Stefan: He plays with you,Elena. Do not believe him!

Damon took Caroline in the back yard.
Caroline: Ouch! It hurts!
Damon: Shut up!
Caroline: She saw these,I didn't tell her. She just asked and I said her...
Damon got in her back and put one hand around her waist and one around the neck.
Damon: It's ok,baby...I'm not upset with you. But I have to
Caroline: I didn't want...I didn't want...
Damon: I forgive you. But you know what? I've had it!
He bit her neck with his tusks but all of the sudden he started caught blood and fell on the ground.
Damon: What the hell? What did you do?
Stefan: She didn't do anything. I know I can't fool you with vervain in drinks so I put vervain in hers. Zach helped me.
Stefan took Damon and went home. Elena saw Caroline stretched on the grass.
Elena:Caroline! Are you ok?
Caroline got up. She was full of blood and knoked.
Caroline: He is bad. Elena,he is bad! Run from him!
Elena: It's ok,Caroline. It's ok. Come,I'll take you home.

They went at Caroline's home. Her mother,Liz,the sheriff,was destroied.
Caroline: All I remember is he hit me and then everything was all right. But I don't know why I am afraid of him.
Liz: It's all right now!
Caroline: Elena? Can you stay with me tonight?
Elena: Of course I can for you!
