Alaïa Gilbert //The Vampire Dairies

The Sacrifice

Gilbert Residence

[ Alaia awakens from her slumber when she hears a noise coming from inside the house. Her bedroom door is slightly ajar. Alaïa lays back down once she sees Elena sleeping next to her, Alaïa turns over in her bed, and shuts her eyes. In the bathroom, a towel is rustled by movement. Jonas appears in the doorway, looking at Alaïa and Elena. Alaïa and Elena are jolted out of bed, once again, when they hears a door slamming loudly. They both sits up in Alaïa's bed. Jonas has disappeared from the bathroom. Alaïa and Elena gets out of bed and slowly walks across Alaïa's room. They quietly opens Alaïa's ajar door and walks out onto the landing. Elena and Alaïa looked around the landing for anything suspicious and they quietly approaches Jeremy's room, looking in through his ajar door. Suddenly, Elena and Alaïa hears a noise from behind them . They gasps and spins around. Alaric, shirtless and in his boxers, has also been startled by Elena's and Alaïa's unexpected appearance on the landing. Elena, Alaïa and Alaric both try to catch their breath after the scare.]

Alaric: Elena. Alaïa. Ahem.

[Alaric lowers the ice cream bowl he's carrying towards his nether region.]

Alaïa: Me and Elena heard something.

[Alaric chuckles nervously. Elena and Alaïa avoids his gaze, embarrassed. Jenna walks up the stairs, wearing Alaric's shirt. She runs her hand through her hair, embarrassed as well.]

Jenna: That was us. I'm sorry.

[In Alaïa's and Elena's bedroom, Jonas pulls out a handkerchief and collects some of Elena's and Alaïa's hair from her brush.]

Alaric: We didn't think anyone else was up.

Jenna: But here you are.

Alaric: We were just-
[Back on the landing, Jenna and Alaric try to explain the situation to Alaïa and Elena, but are failing in their attempt. Alaric sighs and holds out the ice cream bowl to them.]

Alaric: Chunky Monkey?

[Back in Alaïa's bedroom, Jonas also grabs some of Alaïa's and Elena's jewelry and places it in the handkerchief. He folds the handkerchief and places it in his coat pocket.]

Alaric: Well...[chuckles]  I'm naked. So I'm gonna go.

[Alaric walks past Elena and Alaïa and into Jenna's bedroom, shutting the door behind him. Elena and Alaïa starts to walk back towards her room. Jenna, embarrassed, walks up the remainder of the stairs.]

Jenna: I'm really really sorry.

[Elena and Alaïa turns around when she reaches her doorway.]

Elena: It's okay, Jenna, don't worry about it.

Jenna: I know he's been staying over a lot. Are you two--- are you two sure it's okay?

Alaïa: Seems like things are good.

Jenna: [smiling] They're extremely good.

Elena: Then We're extremely okay with it.

[Jonas, still in Alaïa's s bedroom, grabs a picture of Elena and Alaïa at the beach hugging, places it inside his jacket, and leaves the room quickly. Jenna, Alaïa and Elena smile at each other and go back to their respective rooms. Elena and Alaïa gets into her bed. Jonas quietly hides in the bathroom, waiting for Elena and Alaïa to shut their eyes. Elena and Alaïa curls up in her blankets nexts to each other and drifts off to sleep. Jonas heads out of the bathroom, stopping to take a hand mirror, before he exits, placing the mirror in the waistband of his pants. He exits the bathroom, walks onto the landing, descends the stairs, and exits the house without a soul knowing he was there.]
