Damon sat in the car, waiting for Elena, what was taking her so long to say goodbye to her brother? He wondered. Already a few weeks had gone by since his return. Which still remained a mystery. Jeremy came back from the dead but no other supernaturals stayed? He thought with annoyance. Not that he missed any of them. They all annoyed the hell out of him, even Alaric. He half smiled at the thought, the last time he saw Alaric was when he was pouring him a glass to drink. Hours before Bonnie was supposed to drop the veil. Then, poof, he was gone. "Poof" Damon said aloud as he sighed and looked toward the house. For a vampire it sure took Elena an awfully long time to get ready. He stared at the door, even though he knew he couldn't see through it, and even though he knew he could go in—it was after all, his house—he knew the moment he got of the car Elena would be out.
Sure enough just as he started to make the motion to open the door he saw Elena opening the door. Rolling his eyes he settled himself back into the seat. "Took you long enough" he said sarcastically as Elena plopped herself in the passenger's seat.
"I just wanted to tell Jeremy a few things. He was thinking of going out and I just wanted to remind him to be careful" she said defensively as she pulled her hair back into a ponytail.
"Elena, come on, he's died like, what, twice? He'll be fine" Damon replied as Elena gave him a glare. "Fine, I won't make dead brother jokes anymore" he said half expecting the swing from Elena. "So, have you decided if you want stay on campus?" he asked as they started off; they had decided to take a day and drive, nowhere in particular, no destination in mind. Just him and his girlfriend. He smiled at the thought of it. Elena, his girlfriend, for real this time. So sire bond, no Stefan, no compelling.
"I haven't given it much thought" Elena replied as she leaned back in her seat.
"Lately it doesn't seem like you've been giving much thought to anything. I mean, I thought you might be overly happy Jeremy's back or overexcited about our relationship, but, I dunno, you just seem, burnt out" Damon said. He wasn't the serious type of guy, he couldn't really get a joke in that last sentence, but sometimes with Elena, okay most times, he had to be serious.
"It's not that, I mean, I guess I just realized we're done" she said with a shrug. "Done with school and vampires," she said with another shrug. Damon made a face and looked over at her, maybe a second too long, then again, it wouldn't matter if they crashed, neither of them could die.
"Pretty sure we still have the cure and Katherine to worry about" he said nodding his head.
"Damon" Elena started, her tone already making Damon tense. He never liked when Elena sounded like she had secret. It usually meant she did, and he was sure he wasn't going to like this one. "What if I told you the cure and Katherine were gone?" she asked. Again, Damon stared at her.
"I'm assuming you either gave Katherine the cure or she stole it and you haven't bothered to tell anyone?" he asked with a light smile knowing he had to be right.
"I gave her the cure" Elena burst out, her face falling. Damon shrugged, he couldn't care less, he wanted Elena to be a vampire. It meant she could be strong, she could protect herself when he wasn't around and she wouldn't die. They could live forever, together.
"Oh well" he finally said, turning down an unknown road.
"No, I mean, I forced the cure down her throat" Elena explained. This, Damon was surprised to hear. "She was beating me up and trying to kill me and then, and then, I couldn't think and then I remembered the cure and then—"
"It's okay," Damon said patting her on the leg. "Actually, it's more than okay. It just now means I can hunt her down and the kill the bitch myself" he said happily. "And not have to worry about her coming back to life" he added. She was after all the reason he was so screwed up. She had fucked with his mind so much he was surprised at himself he hadn't relocated to another country.
"Yeah, I guess that's an advantage…" Elena said quietly. Damon rolled his eyes, she was still against killing people. He'd have to change that. Granted he couldn't depend on his sire bond, but he was sure sex would do something in his favor.
"When?" Damon asked.
"After graduation, at the school, I had just ran into Kol" she said as Damon started to give a worried look. "It's okay, the veil went up before he could do anything" she said anything. Relieved, but still slightly annoyed Damon nodded. "Hey, turn here" she said pointing at something. Damon made a clear turn, at first wondering why, but then he remembered this was the direction of the cemetery. Elena probably wanted to visit her parents. "Are you coming?" she asked when he stopped at the side of the road as he looked over at the many graves.
"Not this time, but, tell mom and dad I said hello" he said with a wave. Again Elena made a face but quickly turned away and headed off. Damon stayed for another few seconds, just to make sure Elena made it safely to the grave. Then, he quickly sped off. She'd be there for a while, he was certain she had a lot to fill them in on. He continued absently driving.
Eventually he ended up back at the school. "Yeah, because this isn't creepy…" he told himself as he got out of his car anyway. It was bad enough when he showed up at the school during school hours, but now, during the summer. Part of him wanted to see if the little bottle was anywhere. Some part of him wanted to make sure the cure was really gone, he knew it was selfish but he didn't want Elena human. And she doesn't obviously want herself human either, she shoved the shit down Katherine's throat, he reminded himself as he walked the empty hallways. As he walked he half hoped, half wished Alaric would just pop up. God damn you bastard, I miss you He said to himself with a heavy sigh. It was ironic, how being with Elena—now that they were both vampires—made he feel human, made him remember all those human feelings. And he wanted it to say that way. He could turn it off of course, but he wouldn't do that to Elena. Not after everything.
Suddenly he found himself standing at the end of a hallway, he hadn't spotted any bottles or Katherine. "Guess it is gone" he said to himself as he started to turn around. "Whoa" he paused as he nearly walked into Bonnie. He never exactly cared for the witch, then again, he wasn't exactly nice to her or took the time to get to know her. All he really knew was she was a good friend to Elena, even when Elena switched off. She was also the only one overly determined to get Jeremy back. He also remembered he hadn't seen her in a while. Graduation was it? "Hey little witchy" he said humorously as Bonnie stared at him, her green eyes big and full of surprise.
"Damon?" she asked in a near whisper.
"No, I'm actually Stefan, we traded places for the day, later I'm going to be Jeremy, I can come back later and we can have a little make out session" he teased with a daring wink. Bonnie only half squinted at him. He started to reply but noticed something seemed off. "Alright, you know I don't like asking this question, but, are you alright?" he asked with a roll of the eyes.
"Yeah" she said as she looked around. "Where's Elena, she's not with you is she?" she asked in rushed tone, looking around again.
"No, she's visiting her parents" Damon replied squinting at Bonnie. "Why aren't you with Jeremy?" he asked still squinting.
"What?" she asked looking back at him with a now anxious expression. "Damon, I have to go" she said quickly as she started to turn around.
"Hey, wait, no, you can't just—" Damon started as he reached out to grab her shoulder but noticed something funny, he could touch her but felt nothing. "Bonnie…" he said as Bonnie slowly turned around. "What did you do?" Damon asked scanning her face as tears filled her eyes.
