Chapter Five

"Alisha, Who's at the door?" Elena shouted as she rounded the stairs and came to the bottom noticing the front door still slightly open. "Damon! Alisha isn't at the door and it's open. We have to find her!" She ran for the door.Damon, his drunk self, flung down the stairs. Bouncing off the wall, and jumping to the bottom landing and finally, speeding to the front door, in front of Elena. He placed one finger in front of her face and in a serious tone... "No""No what Damon. We can't leave her out there alone! What if someone took her. Oh my God! What if Klaus has her! We have to find her Damon!" "We will, but you're supposed to be dead. Remember?" He said, in a 'matter of fact' tone. "I am dead... duh"She said, in a snotty not-so-happy-about-it tone. "You know what I mean." He moved closer to her face, just barely brushing the hair away from her face, to behind her ears. "I can't lose you."He said, then cleared his throat and backed up . "Damon, don't." "Right. Stefan. Cause where is he exactly? Cause he isn't here." Damon said suddenly backing away and turning around to go find more scotch."He's with Klaus, remember? He gave himself over so you could get the cure. It's all your fault. You and your stupid bite!"She got back up in his face. Almost nose to nose with him. Elena could smell the scotch on his breath. Neither of them talking, just simply staring at eachother.

Damon inched his glance down toward her lips, then back up to her eyes. Elena did the same. Suddenly, Damon closed his eyes, his lips getting closer to hers. Elena didn't move. She was frozen in place. She closed her eyes as she felt his lips gently graze hers. Softly, they touched for a moment. She could feel his hands at her sides. On her hips.He used her waist to move her closer, to deepen the kiss. "Elena?" It was Bonnie. Elena fluttered her eyes open, like she was waking from a trance.

"Damon! What the hell!"

Shoving him away from her, he felt like his heart had just fallen from inside his chest. He felt her lips. Again. And they felt amazing. Elena placed her hands over her mouth like she was horrified by what she had just done.

"I'm leaving. I have to find Alisha, and if you can't help me I'll do it on my own. Damn the consequences!"

"Elena!" Damon yelled as he reached to grab her, but she was already gone.

Alisha

Alisha woke up to the sound of birds chirping out the window near where she was laying down.

Slowly sitting up she realized she wasn't in her bed, but a huge king size bed with purple silk sheets and comforter. She looked around the room and wondered where she was when someone knocked on the door. "Hello love, are you decent?"It must be Klaus... He had an English accent and there was something about his voice that put her at ease. Regardless of what he has done.

"Yes"

Klaus opened the door to see her sitting on the bed. Right where he left her. He could see more differences today between her and Elena. The way they style their hair, their eyebrows, their lips. He found himself staring at her lips. Wondering what it would be like to taste them.

"Time for us to talk Love. Get dressed I had some things brought for you last night while you slept. And your welcome by the way. I compelled you to sleep well so that's why you feel so refreshed and ready for the day."

She stood up, but wasn't sure what she was supposed to do honestly. Klaus just killed her sister a few days ago. Was she supposed to follow him? Or try to escape?

"Now love"
