Rose Petals (Discontinued)

Chapter Eighty-Three

Season Four: Because the Night

Rosalie, Damon and Elena walk the streets of New York. Rosalie holds Damon's arm, scared that they would be separated in the intensely packed sidewalk, as Elena pouts behind them.

"You dragged me all the way to New York because you were feeling nostalgic" Elena huffs. "Couldn't you have left her at home?" She grumbles.

"No, I dragged you to New York because in the matter of three days you managed to piss off everyone in Mystic Falls. Rosalie needed a little break too. Too much Romeo and make your brain stupid" Damon smiles down at the brunette. Rosalie elbows Damon with a smile. "It's a little more difficult to piss off many people in a city of millions" Damon returns to the topic.

"I was hungry" Elena groans. Rosalie frowns.

"You were reckless. You're lucky Rosalie was there to stop you" Damon quickly wraps his arm around Rosalie's shoulder and pulls her close just before a man in a suit bumps into her.

"Emotionless. There's a difference" Elena defends herself.

"Well when I was here, I fed like crazy and had a blast and went undetected for years" Damon shrugs. Rosalie looks up at him.

"Damon" Damon winks at her.

"So we're just here to have fun?" Elena grins. They move over to the side and face each other. Damon slightly pulls away from Rosalie, but keeps her close. "What's the catch?"

"There's no catch. Look. You wanted out. I got you out. You wanted to feed, I brought you to a city-sized all-you-can-eat buffet. That's the beauty of New York. There's so much life that a little death goes unnoticed" Damon nonchalantly smiles. Rosalie looks at him as if he's gone insane. "Come on. Let's go get some lunch"

Elena smirks and leads the way. Rosalie smacks Damon's chest. "Are you crazy? What did you bring me here if this is what you're going to let her do?" Rosalie whisper-shouts.

"Rosalie, it's fine. I'll keep an eye on her" Damon smiles. Rosalie frowns.

"I don't want to be apart of this" Rosalie whispers.

"Wait. What do you mean you took them to New York?" Stefan growls on the phone.

"And that tone is the reason I didn't pick up the phone the first twenty times you called" Damon smirks. Rosalie frowns at the older Salvatore.

"Where are they now?" He demands.

"Well, Little Rose here is with me, Elena's out exploring, maybe she's eating a hot dog...vendor" Rosalie crosses her arms, she hated when Damon joked about people dying.

"So I take it your search for Katherine is off?" Stefan sighs, rubbing his face. Damon stops at a street, pulling out the photo from last night. He glances at it before looking up at a bar called Billy's.

"Relax, man. This little joy ride is actually a cure hunt" Damon smiles. Rosalie's eyes widen.

"What?!" Rosalie hisses. Stefan groans.

"Why would you take them there if that was the reason?" Stefan plops down on the bed.

"For entertainment. Anyways, that vampire that Katherine sent after Hayley is a friend of mine. He lived in the city. Will gets vampires fake identities, and I'm sure that Katherine's one of his clients" Rosalie crosses her arms. How could Damon not tell her any of this? She even asked about the picture and he didn't say much about this important friend.
