Pairings - Damon x main oc, Stefan x main oc, Klaus x main oc, Elijah x main oc, Jace x main oc, Alec x main oc, multiple oc x main oc
After Elena tried to give herself to Klaus in exchange for the safety of her friends and family, she had received a huge lecture on how irresponsible it was of her. Stefan was stuck in the tomb with Katherine and that vampire that was supposed to be dead was apparently very much alive.
Tessa had decided to sleep in and stay away from all the supernatural drama for one day. ONE DAY. And her best friend tried to kill herself, her other best friend got stuck with her psycho friend and now her favorite vampire best friend was whining about how annoying his life had become to her.
"What Elena did was stupid," Tessa said, "But it wasn't wrong. I would have done the same thing."
"You would have sacrificed yourself?" Damon questioned furrowing his eyebrows as he looked at her with a bit of hurt.
"If it means keeping the people I care about safe, then yes. I don't think I could live with myself if anything happened to you. Any of you."
Damon sped in front of her, their faces barely touching as he looked into her eyes. Lust and desire flashed in his eyes as he slightly leaned in. It was as if a button was clicked in his brain and he back away, speeding away leaving a very confused Tessa behind.
"You should really lock your door." Damon joked as he came into the room with a smile on his face, Elena had a pour on her face while Tessa tried to get her to eat something.
"Come on, pouty. At least give me 2 points for ingenuity."
"Do you think this is funny?"
"Yes, Elena I find hilarity in the lengths that I have to go to repeatedly save your life.
"What did Stefan say about this?"
"He had a good laugh."
"And what did he say about Elijah still being alive?" Damon lifted Tessa's feet up and rest them on his lap. He then proceeded to take her sandwich out of her hands and takes a giant bite.
"Hey!"
"Sharing is caring."
"Not when it comes to my food," she complained and he responds by kissing her cheek.
"Yeah, and that I didn't tell him about Elijah."
"Why not?" Tessa asked him and he pursed his lips.
"Well, A he can't do anything about it, and B what I just said."
"Wow, such a profound argument."
"Where is Bonnie?" Damon asked as Jeremy came into the room.
"I thought she was meeting you," Jeremy answered.
"No, she's on moonstone duty and I'm on Elena patrol."
"And who's on Tyler Lockwood and the full moon?" Elena widened her eyes realizing what the night was.
"Vampire Barbie asked me if she could handle it and I said why not figured if she screwed up, he'd bite her, and then I'll be rid of two of my problems."
"Don't be a dick." Tessa scolded him as she smacked his head.
"Hold on a second. Tonight's the full moon." Elena asked them.
"Yep, but you're too absorbed with all your suicidal tendencies to notice." Damon took a call, "Hey, change of plans." Damon hung up and looked at Jeremy and Tessa.
"You babysit tonight." He orders them and Tessa raised her brow at him.
"Hey, you know, you should get out. Enjoy the sun. Oh, wait you can't." Elena chucked a pillow at Damon and missed. Jeremy and Tessa laughed leading to her shoving him to the floor and glaring at Tessa.
Elena had warmed up to being trapped in the house. Even watching a movie in her room with Tessa and eating a giant bowl of popcorn. Knowing they needed some more food, they head downstairs to see what they had in the kitchen.
They walked down the stairs to see Jenna taking boxes out of the closest.
"What are you doing?" Tessa asks her.
"Oh, perfect timing." She thrusts a box in Elena's arms and then another in Tessa's.
"What is this stuff?' Elena asked.
"Your mom's files from the historical society. I got roped into helping Mrs. Lockwood. And by roped, I mean very excited to participate." She slammed the closet door and both their jaws dropped to see the suit-wearing original in Elena's house, staring right back at them with a small smirk.
"Hey, I'm Elijah." Tessa had never felt my heart beat faster than it was then. Jenna had let in a vampire who had tried to kidnap Elena, but apparently not to give her to Klaus which was extremely confusing, and now there was nothing they could do to get him out.
"Elijah's in town doing research on Mystic Falls," Jenna informs them like it was no big deal. If only she knew what Elijah was.
"It's a pleasure." Elijah holds out his hand for Elena and Tessa to shake. Elena hesitantly shook his and when Tessa went go to shake it he bent down and placed a kiss on it making her shiver in fear.
"So, you know, you're welcome to stay here and rummage through this stuff. Or Elena, Tessa, and I could help you load it into your car."
"Yeah, or I can get someone to pick it up tomorrow."
"Also a good plan."
"Thank you so much for inviting me into your home, Jenna." Elijah went to follow Jenna to the front door but stopped. "Oh, Tessa and Elena I hope to see you two again sometime soon."
Once the door was shut, the two girls raced upstairs to alert Jeremy and banged on his door when they realized it was locked.
Right when they heard it quick, Elijah came next to them and signaled them to be quiet.
"What?" Jeremy all but snapped at his sister before glancing at Tessa with a smile.
"Aunt Jenna was asking if you could help her with the boxes."
"Okay," the younger Gilbert said before he walked off.
"That was a smart choice," Elijah said before he asked to speak to us alone.
"Oh, forgive the intrusion. I mean your family no harm," Elijah started.
"That is why you tricked your way in her house?" Tessa said crossing her arms and glaring at the original.
He just shook his head amused at her bravery.
"Why'd you kill those vampires when they tried to take me?" Elena asked. Elijah opened his mouth to answer only to be cut off by a furious Tessa.
"You mean when you tried to give yourself over to them because you are a stupid suicidal doppelganger?" She said making Elena glare at her.
"I didn't want you to be taken. Klaus is the most feared and hated of the originals. Those that fear him are desperate for his approval. Word gets out the doppelganger exists, there will be vampires eager to take you to him and I can't have that."
"Isn't that exactly what you're trying to do?" Elena asked.
"Let's say my goal is not to break the curse."
"Then what is your goal?"
"Klaus' obsessions have made him paranoid. He's a recluse. He trusts only those in his circle," Elijah explained.
"Like you?" Tessa asked.
"Not anymore."
"You don't know where he is, do you?" Elena asked.
Tessa was already tired of their conversation. Her head was spinning, and her body was begging for a change. They were sitting in that room for ten minutes and she was tired. Her focus went from Elijah to the tiles on the floor and the frames on the table.
This always happened. And it annoyed Tessa more than anything. She couldn't stay in one place. Do one thing without being distracted; without this need to move away, do something else.
Overwhelmed, she got up and walked without a word, making the doppelganger and original stop and look at her worried.
