Rose Petals (Discontinued)

Chapter Seventy-Four

Season 4: We'll Always Have Bourbon Street

Rosalie looks into his bright blue eyes; slowly moving her head away from his nose. Damon gulps. The fire seemed to grow duller and duller as their focus was only on each other. Rosalie's hand loosens from his shirt and she steps back. Damon gapes at her.

"I should--um, go to bed. I have, uh, school in the morning" Damon only stares at her. Her hands lays gently on his chest and hand. He tightens his grip on her hand and waist and closes his eyes. He lets out a deep breath and pulls away from her reluctantly.

"You're right. It's late" Rosalie nods distractedly. Her hand slide out of his and she pulls away entirely.

"Goodnight, Damon" He nods with a weak smile. She leaves the living room and climbs the stairs. Damon stares after her body.

"Goodnight, Rosalie..."

"And you're sure about this?" Caroline nods frantically. Stefan rubs thigh softly.

After Rosalie and Damon's dance, she stayed up thinking. Even though Damon was trying to make her feel better, she still wasn't happy about her argument with Stefan. This morning when she was getting ready for school, she got a call from him and said to go over to Caroline's immediately. She decided to leave the sensitive topic alone and follow his orders. She hardly could stay away from the boy.

"I mean just yesterday when she said she liked the blue dress, as soon as Damon asked her if the red dress was better, she agreed. And when Damon told her not to worry about Jeremy, she stopped worrying. That's her little brother, she never stops worrying about him" Caroline had a point. She throws her hands up in the air. "This is a disaster!" She shouts.

"Look. We don't know anything for sure--"

"Yes, we do" Caroline interrupts the bronze haired Salvatore. "Elena is sired to Damon, which means her one singular burning desire is to make him happy. Just like Klaus and his hybrids" Stefan stands up and folds his arms.

"No. It's not. A vampire sired to another vampire is one in a million. Maybe it won't affect her the same way" He shrugs. Rosalie bites her lip.

"It makes sense though. Elena usually likes to do her own thing. She does what she thinks is right. With the whole not being able to drink blood from anything but the vein thing, what else could it be?" Rosalie agrees. Stefan frowns. He didn't want to believe that someone was sired to his manipulative older brother. At least it wasn't Rosalie though.

"We already know it's affecting her. She's become Damon's lapdog" Stefan stares at the blonde. Her eyes widen. "It's true! Everything he says, she agrees with. Everything he asks her to do, she does" Rosalie gets up off the white couch and grabs his hand; interlocking their fingers. Stefan rubs his thumb on hers.

"We need to do something" Caroline gets her phone out.

"What can we do?" Rosalie asks. Stefan pushes her phone anyway from her.

"Wait. No. Hold on. Caroline, this isn't gossip. You can't just drop this on her before we know what's happening for sure" Caroline breathes out.

"I need to talk to Tyler, okay? Maybe he'll know what to do" Stefan bites his tongue. He looks down at Rosalie. She nods. He sighs.

"Alright. Talk to Tyler, but please don't tell anyone else. If this is true, then it may have influence Elena's every action and emotion since she became a vampire" Rosalie frowns.
