Complicated

Chapter 12

I had checked out of all things supernatural yesterday to give myself time to deal with what I saw. It wasn't easy but Damon understood and kept me out of all the drama. Stefan had been locked up but after an emotional talk with Elena he came back to himself and was on the road to recovery. Currently I was on my way to the high school, and as I was about to walk into the building I bumped into Damon.

"Hey Angel. Are you feeling better?" Damon asked, taking my hand in his I let out a sigh of contentment. I had missed him so much.

"Yeah, I'm sorry." My voice was quiet as I allowed him to pull me through the school.

"You have nothing to apologise for baby" Damon stopped walking to face me and pressed a soft kiss to my lips before we carried on our journey. As we walked into the room we took note of the serious faces. "Sorry we're late, the dog ate my....uh never mind. What's with all the furrowed brows".

"I saw Isobel last night" Ric informs us, I sat in one of the desks with my feet on the chair as Damon stood behind me.

"Isobel is here? In town?" I asked, sighing at Alaric's nod. "Did you ask her about John? Are they working together?" Damon asks from behind me, finishing my line of questioning.

"No" Ric said looking down at his feet before looking back at us.

"No they're not?" I asked, I was a little confused by his answer.

"No, I didn't ask" Ric said, I sighed again and gestured for Damon to continue.

"Did you ask about the invention?" Damon asked now standing beside me.

"Didn't ask" Ric mumbled.

"Did she know about the tomb vampires?"

"I don't know".

"Did words completely escape you?"

"No, I was a little too distracted by my dead vampire wife to ask questions" Ric snapped at Damon causing me to stand up.

"Alright so what did she want?" I ask, looking directly at Ric, I could tell this was hurting him and I didn't need Damon making some sarcastic comment to make the situation worse.

"She wants to see me, Jamie" Elena said quietly, fiddling with her fingers.

"Alaric is supposed to arrange a meeting. We don't know why or what she wants" Stefan added with a shake of his head.

"You know you don't have to see her if you don't want to" I respond, crouching down beside her so I could look her in the eyes.

"I don't really have a choice" Elena responded quietly again. I gently patted her knee before standing.

"She's threatened to go on a killing spree"  I looked over at Damon hearing Ric's words, I didn't know what to do or even suggest.

"Oh, I guess that's not okay with you guys?" Damon asked, I groaned at his stupid comment, gently slapping his arm.

"I want to do it. I want to meet her. I'll regret it if I don't" Elena said as she looked over at all of us, I just shrugged my shoulders. It was entirely up to her.

"That's not all" Ric said as I turned to leave.

"What is it Ric?" I asked turning back around to face him, I didn't need details, Damon would fill me in later.

"She wants you to be with Elena" this made Damon and myself stop in our tracks.

"Not a chance. There is no way my Angel is going anywhere near that psychotic bitch" Damon spat as he pulled me behind him.

"It wasn't a request Damon. It was she goes, or Isobel kills her" Ric whispered. I pulled Damon round to face me.

"Do you trust me?" I asked as I gently took his face in my hands.
