The Girl of Prophecy

Daddy Issues

[Salvatore Boarding House]

Alura walks into Damon's room as he walks out of the shower, wrapped in a towel.
The TV is showing the news. Andie Star is reporting. "The authorities believe last night's assailant may also be related to the missing campers and park ranger who have yet to be found, as well as 25-year-old Jessica Koenig, reported missing this morning. The sheriff's department says investigations are pending and no further comment will be made. In related news Mayor Lockwood spoke earlier today..." Alura stands in front of the TV with her arms crossed.
"I'm sure she'll have a lot to say." Alura remarks as Damon rolls his eyes heading into his closet. "Hurry up Day, I got an interesting call from Lena. You're gonna LOVE it." She says sarcastically.

------------------

After telling Damon the news, he wasn't impressed. So as Alura expected he stormed off to Stefan's room to yell at the culprit. She followed him in to hear the explanation herself.
"You brought back John Gilbert? That was your big "Save Elena" move?" Damon scoffs as he barges in.

Stefan looks at Alura unimpressed. "Elena told me. Not cool Stef." She smirks.

Stefan sighs turning to Damon. "I went to go look for Isobel, and I got John instead. He said he can help us, and we're desperate."

Damon rolls his eyes. "We're not that desperate, Stefan. The guy tried to barbecue me!"

Alura nods in agreement. "Guys a dick. He cannot be trusted. What are you thinking?"

"Damon, Bonnie's new witch friend is working with Elijah, so we have to assume that the moonstone was never destroyed. Elena is putting all of her faith into some deal that she made with Elijah to keep everyone safe. I mean, do you trust Elijah? I don't trust him. He's an Original, he can't be trusted. It's not like we can just go up and kill him, because apparently, he can't die!" Stefan explains. Oof, what happens when they find out I'm an original as well?

"I'm still waiting for the part where John Gilbert is the answer." Alura sasses, crossing her arms.

"He knew about the sacrifice, Isobel told him. He said he knew of a way to keep Elena safe." Stefan elaborates making Ali raise an eyebrow. Just how much does this guy know?

"And how do we do that?" Damon asks.

Stefan sighs. "He's not talking. At least not to me anyway."

"Great work Stefan. Top notch. As if I didn't have enough problems." Damon scoffs at his brother, rolling his eyes.

"Hey, I'm sorry about Rose." Stefan says sympathetically.

"Whatever. I knew the woman for five minutes." Damon waves it off as if he didn't break down last night. Alura looks at him in concern.

"And you cared about her after five minutes. I wonder what that means?" Stefan smirks.

"It means I care, Stefan. It means I'm changing, evolving into a man capable of greatness. Better watch your back, because I may just have to go get a hero-hairdo of my own, and steal your thunder." Damon sasses as he leaves.

Stefan receives a text from Caroline reading "911 NOW". He shows Ali and she sighs. "You take Care, I take John?"
He nods, chuckling. "Good luck with Damon." Alura rolls her eyes at him.

[Gilbert Residence]

Damon and Ali make it to Elena's and she lets them in. "Where's John?" Ali asks her as they step into the house.

"He's not here, he left. I don't know where he went. He just blew in, announced to Jenna that he's my dad, and then took off." She replies clearly pissed off.
