15: A Few Good Men

Eliana made her way down the stairs of her home as the morning sun crept into the Gilbert home. Many things occurred since the night they opened the tomb. Sheila had passed away in her sleep. The spell took the last bit of strength out of her.

Another thing that occurred was that Damon and Eliana took a two day trip to Whitmore. They needed a break from everything and therefore spent some time in the college environment. Partying and a reckless lifestyle was something the two enjoyed.

Yet when Eliana returned, it was as if everywhere she went she had the similar cold and dark feeling. Even when she would only walk out to her car she would get the feeling, the feeling of death. As if someone was in the shadows lurking.

Eliana arrived at the Salvatore Home after receiving a call from Stefan informing her of Damon's recent behavior. She stepped out of her vehicle and made her way towards the front door which she found unlocked as always. She walked inside and was welcomed by the sound of music coming from the library. Stefan was sitting on one of the couches in the parlor room. He quickly got up and pointed towards the library hinting that Damon was inside. Eliana nodded and made her way towards the library as Stefan followed her.

Eliana noticed Damon drinking from a young girl as others danced around him with bite marks on their necks. Eliana scrunched up her face as she saw the scene in front of her. She quickly walked over to the music and turned it off, while Stefan turned on the lights.

"No! Buzzkill Bob." Damon said as he turned to Eliana.

"Damon, what the hell? I leave you for only two days and you spiral out of control." Eliana said as she brought her hands onto her waist. "Could you get rid of the Tri-Delts so that we could talk?" She questioned as Damon groaned and with a blood high.

Damon ordered the girls to a corner away from them. Eliana took notice of the smell Damon was giving off. The smell of someone that had not showered in days.

"What can I do for my lovely girlfriend?" Damon looked at Eliana while he held a bottle in hand.

"I'm worried about you Dae." Eliana said as she took a step closer to Damon who took a seat on the nearby couch.

"You're worried about me. Don't be. There's no need. I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be? I spent the last 145 years with one goal: get in that tomb. I succeeded. Granted, Katherine wasn't in there to be rescued, but why dwell? You know, it's so liberating not having a master plan, because I can do whatever the hell I want." He said as Eliana scoffed and shook her head.

"That's it." Eliana walked over to the curtains and opened them up.

Damon groaned at the sudden light that made his eyes ache from the lack of sun he had received in the last two days.

"Now that I have your attention." Eliana said as she went to stand back in front of Damon. "There was a woman you may have known a few years back named Isobel in North Carolina at Duke." She said as she removed the bottle from Damon's hand gave it to Stefan.

"You wanna discuss the women in my past right now? Seriously?" Damon said as Stefan rolled his eyes and took a step forward.

"You killed her." Stefan said getting Eliana to furrow her eyebrows.

"Wait! What?" Eliana quickly said as she turned to Damon.

"Why the sudden interest in the woman?" Damon quickly questioned as he took the bottle from Stefan.
