Maria Salvatore || The Vampire Diaries

twenty seven

Maria's POV

I woke up to Damon standing over me, a confused look on his face. "Listen, I'm happy you're home but why are you passed out on the kitchen counter."

I sat up and rubbed my face, "Klaus and I had a fight last night, I broke into your liquor cabinet by the way, I owe you."

Damon let's out a chuckle, "Trouble in paradise already?"

"Let's talk about anything else, please?"

I hop off the counter and start cleaning up the empty liquor bottles, "How's Elena?" I ask, once I'm done.

Damon shrugs, "She'll be fine. Stefan kind of shook her up, we can't let that happen again." I nod at his words, "Well.. Klaus might kill him." I mumble under my breath and Damon vamp speeds in front of me with wide eyes.

"Your psycho boyfriend is not about to kill our brother. I don't care what it takes this time Maria, if Klaus even thinks about touching a hair on anyone else's head, I'll join Stefan on executing every hybrid he has."

I raise my hands to surrender, "Geez.. I said he might, not that he was going to. But I know he won't, not if he wants to lose me forever."

"And you think that's enough for him?.. Are you enough for him?" Damon asks, he doesn't sound sarcastic, just genuinely curious.

I shrug my shoulders, "I guess we'll find out."

"Speaking of trouble in paradise, what's the situation between you and Elena?" I ask after a few moments of silence, Damon squints down at me, "We may have kissed."

I raise my eyebrows at his words, "And are you sure she's ready for that? She just lost Stefan.."

"I know. That's why I promised her I wouldn't do it again, not until she wants me to."

I nod at his words, "Never thought you could be so.. selfless." I admit and he chuckles, "Maybe you never knew me at all."

While I was in the shower, Damon left and he didn't tell me anything beforehand. So I was once again, home alone.

Around noon in walked vampire barbie, she looked at me and squinted.

"I don't know what game you and Klaus like to play, but I will not be apart of it."

I raise my eyebrows at her words, what was she talking about?

"I have literally no idea what you mean." I reply, she lets out a huff and sits on the couch thats across from me, "Tyler bit me last night, by Klaus' orders. Klaus came to the rescue, only to be invited in my house. He started saying some.. weird stuff. I got weird vibes, alright?"

"I just- I'm telling you this because you're my friend and even though you helped Katherine kill me.. I see us being friends for a long time, maybe even becoming closer friends." She tells me and I'm still trying to absorb what she had said earlier.

What kind of weird vibes could she have gotten?

Klaus doesn't just save anyone, he even put me through hell just to cure Damon. What was his plan here? Was there something behind it all? Or did he just.. like Caroline?

"Weird..." I mutter under my breath, Caroline looks at me confused, "What?"

I shake my head at her words, "Nothing, I'm just a bit surprised he was willing to help you."

"That's why I came to see you, is he planning something? Before he agreed to save me, he wanted my mom to be on board with some plan, she won't even talk to me about it. So I thought you might know something."
