Emily woke from her surprisingly dreamless slumber early the next morning as she had fallen asleep out of exhaustion from the long day that she and her twin sister had with Katherine. She knew she had let her emotions get the better of her when she arrived home at the Gilbert house last night. Everything that she learned just took a lot out of the human girl, along with the fact that she was trying to come up with a plan to protect everyone as the people she loves were suppose to die. However, Emily lying next to Stefan for hours had made her forget about the big issue at hand and to just focus on them. It was like everything else just disappeared when her green eyes were locked on his.
It took a couple more minutes of Emily staring up at her white ceiling while her thoughts about the plan to save everyone was clouding her mind before she rubbed her tired green eyes and finally woke herself up. The brunette girl was glad it was the weekend. However, she couldn't find it in herself to fall back to sleep. So instead of unsuccessfully trying to get more rest, Emily turned her body to the left and settled her gaze onto the sleeping Salvatore vampire.
"Good morning," Stefan's rough voice mumbled once he felt Emily staring down at him. He then opened his green eyes before he leaned down to the human girl's forehead and laid a gentle kiss to her warm skin.
Emily smiled slightly and whispered, "hey." The Gilbert girl had thought Stefan would of still been asleep. But Emily knew she shouldn't be so surprised since every time they are together, Stefan is always the first one awake. "Have you been up long?" Emily wondered as she leaned her chin on top of Stefan's chest.
Stefan slowly began to run his fingers through Emily's knotted brown hair as he shook his head. "Only a few minutes," Stefan responded as he kept his eyes locked with Emily's green ones. In reality, Stefan had been up for a couple of hours but he didn't want to be scolded or to worry the human girl by telling her that. The vampire felt like he needed to just watch her and make sure she was okay, so he woke up around three in the morning and did just that. Plus, Emily's sleeping and calm form had made him feel better as he knew no one could hurt her while she was resting.
"You are such a liar," Emily giggled as she rubbed her warm hand across Stefan's cold abdomen. The Gilbert girl could always tell when Stefan was lying. The Salvatore vampire's left eyebrow would always start twitching when he would lie, Emily had noticed.
Stefan placed his hand on his chest in fake shock along with letting out an exaggerated gasp before he exclaimed, "I would never!"
The Gilbert girl couldn't help but continue to giggle at the Salvatore vampire while she shook her head at his playful banter. She then sat up in her large bed and stated very slowly with a large smirk settled on her pale pink lips, "you, Mr. Salvatore, are a liar."
Stefan mischievously glared at the human girl for a couple of silent and tense seconds before he swiftly used his vamp speed and flipped Emily onto her back. The Salvatore vampire smirked at Emily's shocked expression and whispered, "you shouldn't have said that," before he began to tickle the brunette girl.
Emily instantly began to full on belly-laugh once the Salvatore vampire's cold and long fingers began to roam freely over her body. "Stop it! Stop it!" Emily begged while warm tears began to slide down her face. The human girl had always been ticklish her entire life, so Stefan's tickling was definitely torture for Emily.
The Salvatore vampire's fingers continued to move around Emily's body for a couple of seconds before he finally released the Gilbert girl from her punishment. Stefan then looked down at the brunette girl with a calm and content smile while he slowly settled his bottom onto his feet before he swiftly pulled at Emily's legs until they were resting on the side of his hips. The Salvatore vampire chuckled at the human girl's squealing before he leaned down and slowly began to kiss Emily's lips, nose, cheek, before settling on her neck.
The small Gilbert room was then overcome by only the quiet sounds of Stefan's lips against Emily's warm skin and the small noises of enjoyment coming from the human girl. However, the couple's own little world was soon interrupted by the loud sound of a door slamming shut in the supposedly silent Gilbert house.
Emily almost jumped out of her skin when she heard the large wooden door slamming shut as she had thought everyone was still asleep. The human girl then pushed Stefan's body to the side as she listened for any familiar voices. But when she didn't hear anything, Emily came to the decision to check it out.
"I'll be right back," the brunette girl whispered to Stefan and kissed his left cheek before she slipped from under the Salvatore vampire's body and jumped out of her warm and cozy bed. Emily shook her head with a quiet giggle when she heard Stefan's groaning, but she didn't stop her determined movement as she continued to tip toe as quietly as she could towards her bedroom door.
Emily slowly and silently closed her bedroom door behind her as she didn't want to make any noise before she began to look around the hallway. However, when Emily realized she couldn't see or hear anyone, she soon came to the conclusion that it was Elena, who slammed the door. The human girl figured since Elena had stayed the night at the Salvatore boarding house that she would come home and change clothes. Emily then silently began to walk towards her twin sister's bedroom as she wanted to make sure she was right and it wasn't something serious like someone breaking into their house.
Once Emily reached the outside of her twin sister's bedroom, she gently placed her hand onto Elena's half opened door, so she could take a quick peek inside. However, as the brunette girl's fingers grazed the white door, she suddenly heard a loud creak from right behind which instantly caused Emily to turn around before a loud gasp escaped her mouth.
"Jesus, Ric," Emily mumbled as she placed her hand over her fast beating heart. The thing that had scared the brunette girl half to death was the one and only Alaric Saltzman standing shirtless in the middle of the hallway of the Gilbert house.
"Sorry," Alaric murmured sheepishly before he soon realized he was half naked in front of his girlfriend's niece and his high school student. The vampire hunter then quickly moved the bowl he was holding to cover his grey boxers as he thought it would make everything less awkward.
The Gilbert girl bit down on her bottom lip as she tried to hold in her laughter. This was definitely not a situation Emily ever thought she would be in. The brunette girl quickly glanced away from Alaric's form after a couple of seconds as she didn't want to embarrass him even more. She instead stared at a photo of the Gilbert siblings hanging on the wall behind Alaric before Emily told him, "I just came to check out the noise."
Alaric silently nodded his head as he wanted to get out of this weird predicament as soon as possible. The vampire hunter's wishes must of been heard because not even a second later, Alaric's lovely girlfriend came jogging up the stairs.
"Oops," Jenna muttered when she caught sight of her niece, Emily, and her shirtless boyfriend. The strawberry blonde gave Emily a grin as she told the brunette girl, "that was us."
Emily couldn't hold in her chuckle any longer as she saw her aunt Jenna's awkward stance next to the vampire hunter. She was enjoying this far more than she should as she stared across at the two adults. It was quiet fun, Emily realized.
"We, uh, didn't think anyone would be up this early," Alaric mumbled as he finally broke the uncomfortable silence.
"But here you are," Jenna added to her boyfriend's statement as she tried to defuse the awkward moment with her niece. The strawberry blonde knew she was definitely going to get embarrassed and teased by Emily once Alaric leaves the Gilbert house. It was just how their relationship worked.
Emily raised her arms out with a smirk as she uttered back to her aunt, "and here I am." The Gilbert girl was so enjoying the moment with the couple. Emily haven't had the time to actually joke around with her aunt, who was also her best friend, in months so Emily finally had some good leverage to use to embarrass her aunt.
The hallway then grew silent, once again, before the vampire hunter awkwardly chuckled while he slowly stepped back towards Jenna's bedroom. "Well," Alaric mumbled, "I'm naked," before he gave Emily a tiny and awkward smile. He then quickly turned around and rushed into Jenna's room as he left the aunt and niece alone in the middle of the hallway.
"Well, that was interesting," Emily mused once she watched Alaric walk into her aunt's bedroom before she sent Jenna a large teasing smirk.
The strawberry blonde's face slowly began to burn red as she quickly followed after her niece, who was slowly walking back towards her bedroom. "I am so so sorry," Jenna hurriedly apologized with a sheepish grin.
Emily chuckled as she shook her head at her aunt's apologizing. She then turned around and laid her hand onto Jenna's shoulder, that was covered by Alaric's long baby blue button up shirt, and told her, "don't worry about it, Jennie."
Jenna's light brows furrowed as she wondered, "are you sure?" She then began to nervously run her fingers through her tangled strawberry blonde hair as she stated, "I know he's been staying over a lot." Jenna looked into her niece's green eyes as she asked once more, "are you sure it's okay?"
Emily looked at her aunt like she was completely crazy. "Are you kidding?" The Gilbert girl asked in disbelief before she told Jenna, "Ric is like family." The brunette girl wasn't just saying that to ease her aunt's mind as she really did think of Alaric like he was apart of the family. Emily had always saw Alaric more than a history teacher ever since he helped save her family more than once.
Jenna couldn't help but let a big grin shine on her face at her niece's confession. "Thank you," the strawberry blonde squealed as she always liked to have Emily's approval. It wasn't even like they were aunt and niece with how their relationship worked. It was more like a best friend relationship as they cared deeply what the other one thought.
"However," Emily began as she gave her aunt a smirk, "you know I have to tease you, right?" The Gilbert girl nodded her head as she added, "I'm gonna have to embarrass you." It was just what they did to one another. Once either of them did something that already embarrassed them enough, the other one would just make it that much worse.
The strawberry blonde closed her hazel eyes and let out a loud groan as she knew it was coming. She then looked at her smirking niece as she began to beg, "please, Emmie, do not - "
However, Jenna didn't get the chance to finish her sentence to convince Emily to not embarrass her; especially not in front of Alaric as they were soon interrupted by a shirtless Stefan Salvatore loudly opening the Gilbert girl's bedroom door before he stepped out into the now silent hallway.
"Oh, God," Emily mumbled as she closed her eyes and brought her head to her hands in embarrassment. She didn't even bother looking behind her as she knew exactly what she would see; an equally embarrassed Salvatore vampire.
Stefan's eyes widened as soon as he was out in the hallway and saw Emily and her strawberry blonde aunt. The Salvatore vampire had left the safety of the small room as he had started to worry about the human girl since she never came back after hearing the loud noise. Stefan chuckled awkwardly as he waved his hand at the surprised strawberry blonde before he greeted her, "hi, Jenna."
It took a couple of seconds for Jenna to get rid of her surprise of seeing the Salvatore vampire come out of Emily's bedroom as she didn't know they were an item. She was definitely going to need to have a talk with Emily about that. The strawberry blonde then glanced over to her niece before a chuckle escaped her mouth as she noticed Emily's cheeks were turning red like hers had just done by getting caught in the same predicament.
Once Jenna had calmed down from laughing at her niece's embarrassment, Jenna gave Emily a small smirk before she faced the silent and shirtless vampire as she greeted him back, "Stefan."
Meanwhile in Emily's supposedly empty bedroom, Jonas Martin, the warlock was leaning over the human girl's white vanity table as he quietly shuffled her things around like her purple history notebook and her ivory jewelry box before the warlock finally found something he could use; Emily's hairbrush. Jonas then silently took a small lock of her brown hair from the black brush and stored it into his jacket pocket before he moved on to his next location.
The warlock glanced back to the closed bedroom door as he knew he needed to hurry up before he got caught. Jonas then quietly tip toed over to the human girl's dresser before he grabbed the first thing he saw which happened to be a gold picture frame of Emily posing in her Mystic Falls cheerleading uniform. The warlock silently nodded his head to himself before he placed the picture frame inside of his jacket.
Once he had the item tucked away, Jonas then walked over to the shared bathroom and closed the door behind him. The warlock looked around the bathroom for a few seconds before a small smirk graced his dark lips. He found the last piece he was looking for on the first try; a purple hand held mirror with silver cursive writing that read Emily's name on the back.
Back in the hallway, Emily noticed her aunt Jenna kept giving her side glances every couple of seconds and the human girl knew exactly what they meant. The Gilbert girl glared over at the strawberry blonde as she didn't want Stefan to notice the silent teasing - even though the Salvatore vampire was busy keeping a conversation without being awkward about the weather. Emily had no idea how Stefan was doing that while he was standing shirtless in front of her aunt.
"Okay!" Emily suddenly exclaimed a second later as she finally broke from her aunt's teasing while also interrupting Stefan's conversation, "we're even!" The Gilbert girl knew that her aunt kept giving her glances because she was silently telling Emily that she was going to tease her like Emily had planned to do because of what happened a few minutes ago with Jenna getting caught with a shirtless Alaric.
The strawberry blonde excitedly grinned at her niece before she uttered, "it was nice doing business with you." She then turned to the very confused vampire and stated, "it was good seeing you, Stefan," before she gave Emily one last grin and left the couple standing in the middle of the hallway.
"What was that about?" Stefan wondered as he turned his attention to the human girl, who was glaring in the strawberry blonde's direction. The Salvatore vampire didn't understand what they were just talking about since he hadn't been out in the hallway the whole time.
Emily huffed out a sigh once she couldn't see her aunt anymore before she mumbled to herself, "lucky bitch." She then turned to face the confused Stefan with an innocent grin. "It was nothing," Emily chuckled as she patted Stefan's bare chest before she walked around him and made her way back into her bedroom.
Once back in her empty bedroom, Emily yawned while she reached towards the ceiling as she stretched her tired body. The Gilbert girl figured she wouldn't be able to go back to sleep any time soon as it was already six in the morning. Instead, Emily decided to just get dressed, so she made her way over to her opened closet before she began to search for her red spaghetti crop top and black leggings.
However, before Emily could find her two pieces of clothing, she was soon stopped by the feeling of Stefan's cold arms wrapping around her waist. The vampire then placed his lips against Emily's shoulder and mumbled, "where were we? I think I was about here," before he began to leave soft kisses on the human girl's warm skin.
Emily grinned as she loved the feeling of Stefan's lips against her body. The brunette girl soon forgot about her clothes as she turned her body around in Stefan's embrace. Emily then wrapped her arms around the vampire's neck as she enjoyed the love Stefan was providing her.
Stefan hummed against Emily's lips when he noticed her attention was on him before he slowly began to step back towards the human girl's bed as they were lost in their own little happy world. However, it didn't last long enough for the couple's liking before they were interrupted by Emily's cell phone ringing loudly on her bedside table.
The Salvatore vampire instantly groaned against Emily's lips at the disruption before he begged, "just ignore it."
The Gilbert girl chuckled at the vampire before she, once again, pushed Stefan to the side of her bed. She shook her head at Stefan's pouting before she reached across the aforementioned vampire's bare stomach and towards the wooden bedside table.
Emily then picked up her cell phone before she settled back onto her heels and began to look through her notifications. The first thing Emily noticed was that she had a text from her twin sister. "It's Elena," Emily informed Stefan before she opened the message.
TWINNIE ♡ : DAMON & I ARE COMING OVER. WE NEED 2 TALK
Emily quickly sent her twin sister an emoji of the thumbs up sign before she tossed her cell phone onto her soft bed. The Gilbert girl then turned her gaze back to the pouting hundred plus year old teenager with a chuckle. She rolled her green eyes and exclaimed, "come on. Our siblings are on their way over," before she tried to pull Stefan out of her bed.
The Salvatore vampire was much stronger than the human girl, so it didn't take much of Stefan's strength to keep him settled in his comfortable place. He instead turned the game around on the brunette girl as he began to pull her. "We should stay right here," Stefan told Emily as he grabbed ahold on her waist and planted her onto his lap with a grin.
"No, no," Emily quickly uttered as she couldn't fall back into Stefan's arms. Even though the brunette girl did want to just spend her Sunday lying with the vampire, Emily knew she couldn't or her twin sister would be dragging her out of bed and she definitely didn't want that.
It took a lot of work of Emily tricking the vampire by giving him a long and passionate kiss before she finally jumped out of her bed when Stefan was distracted. Emily grinned excitedly once she was standing on her two feet before she took a couple of steps back so Stefan couldn't pull her back down. "Now, I'm going to take a shower and you better be out of bed when I'm done," Emily told Stefan as she crossed her arms over her chest.
The Salvatore vampire quickly sat up in the bed when he heard the human girl's words before he gave her a large grin. "You know what?" Stefan began as he slowly stood onto the cold hardwood floors of Emily's bedroom before he stated, "I think I need a shower."
Emily had barely enough time to process Stefan's words before her feet were suddenly swept from under her as Stefan used his vamp speed and ran towards the empty shared bathroom. The Gilbert girl couldn't help but giggle when Stefan placed her onto sink counter before she pulled Stefan by his hips and kissed him as they were, once again, wrapped in their own happy world with not a care in the world.
***
The Gilbert house was deadly silent as Jenna and Alaric had left the house a couple of minutes ago. But the house wasn't completely empty. The human girl and the Salvatore vampire had made their way to the kitchen once they had finished showering and getting dressed for the day.
Emily was currently sitting on top of the granite kitchen counter while she grinned over at the Salvatore vampire as she had convinced him to make her a cheese omelet. However, in reality, it didn't take much convincing as Stefan would do whatever the human girl wanted. It was just how wrapped the vampire was around Emily's tiny finger.
"What are you laughing about?" The Salvatore vampire wondered as he glanced away from the pan of eggs and over to the smiling and giggling human girl as the only sound he could hear in the silent kitchen was the sweet sound coming from her mouth.
Emily shook her head as she kicked her leg to barely graze the vampire's right leg of his jeans. "Nothing," the brunette girl murmured before she told him, "I'm just happy you're here." It was the truth. It was like nothing could ruin Emily's mood when she's in Stefan's presence. It was like his aura calms her.
Stefan couldn't help but grin over at the brunette girl as he felt the exact same way. The Salvatore vampire felt like he was human whenever he's with Emily. It's like everything is normal and they aren't fighting for their lives when they are together.
The Salvatore vampire then turned his attention back to the stove and finished off the cheese omelet before he turned the burner off. Once it was finished, Stefan grabbed a white plate and slid the warm and fresh breakfast onto it before he walked over to Emily. "Bon appétit," the vampire uttered as he stood between the human girl's legs before he laid a sweet kiss to Emily's forehead.
"Thank you, Mr. Salvatore," Emily praised with a grin before she took a big bite out of her breakfast. "Mmm," the brunette girl moaned as soon as she swallowed the piece of cheesy eggs as she didn't realize just how hungry she was. "So good," Emily complimented before she continued to eat while the Salvatore vampire moved his way over to the coffee machine.
However, the content and happy morning the human girl and the Salvatore vampire were having together as if they were an old married couple was soon interrupted by the all too familiar sound of the green eyed girl's twin sister shouting her name, "Emily!"
"In the kitchen!" Stefan shouted back to his ex girlfriend before he chuckled when he noticed the human girl was hurriedly stuffing her face. He shook his head when Emily looked up at him with a grin before he switched her empty plate with a fresh cup of coffee.
Emily kissed the side of Stefan's cheek with praise before she looked towards the entrance, where she saw her twin sister and Damon walking into the kitchen. However, when Emily noticed that the vampire couple was only staring at her in silence, the human girl guessed that she had to be the one to break it. "So, what's up?" Emily curiously questioned as she patiently rose her right eyebrow.
The Gilbert vampire nervously played with her fingers as she looked up at her boyfriend. She then finally looked back at her twin sister when Damon gave her shoulder a comforting squeeze. "We went back to see Katherine," Elena confessed.
Emily's green eyes widened in shock before she quickly questioned, "what happened? Did she say anything helpful?" The human girl was surprised her sister had went back to her doppelganger with how they left things yesterday. Emily was definitely intrigued to what Katherine told them.
***
FELL'S CHURCH TOMB
It was around five in the morning when the two vampires, Damon and Elena, found themselves standing in the middle of the tomb and right in front of the door that the Gilbert vampire had just moved yesterday with Caroline. The couple silently glanced at each other once they moved to either side of the door before Damon gave Elena a small nod. The vampires then began to pull with all of their might until there was a loud popping sound that alerted them to the opening on the tomb.
Damon and Elena slowly carried the heavy door to the right once it was in their possession and carefully leaned it against the wall. Once the door was safety placed down to where it wouldn't tip over, the two vampires then made their way to the entrance of the dark tunnel as they waited for the bitch devil herself - as Damon liked to call her.
It took a couple of minutes before the ill and tired body of Katherine Pierce finally made her way to the spelled barrier like she did yesterday. But instead of seeing the face of her favorite Gilbert, it was instead her least favorite sister and the vampire that used to be obsessed with her; Elena and Damon.
"Please," Katherine's rasp voice whispered, "come on in." She then gave the couple a slow eye roll as she was so exhausted before mumbling, "there's plenty of room for all of us." Even though the Petrova vampire was progressively dying inside of the tomb, there was still sarcasm dripping from her voice. It was just who Katherine is. She could be on her death bed and still act like she's the queen of the world.
The Salvatore vampire leaned the right side of his body on the outside part of the spelled tomb before he uttered mockingly to his ex girlfriend, "I'd rather poke my eyes out."
"Mmm," Katherine hummed as she settled her shoulder against a large but old stone that was sticking out in the tunnel before she cooed to Damon flirtingly, "but they're such pretty eyes."
Elena immediately crossed her arms over chest in annoyance when she heard what Katherine said. She felt like her doppelganger would flirt with Damon to just get on her nerves - which was obviously working. "We're here for the moonstone," Elena told Katherine in a strong voice as she wanted to focus on why they were here instead of letting Katherine's games continue.
The blue eyed vampire rose one of his perfectly dark eyebrows before he added to his girlfriend's statement as he asked Katherine, "feel like tossing it over?"
Katherine slowly shook her head and chuckled amusingly before she quickly stopped as she was soon overcome by a loud and thick cough. She then raised her finger in the air as she tried to clear her airway before she finally responded back to the older Salvatore's question with a different answer that she originally was going to say, "tell you what, you get your little witch to hocus pocus me out of here, you can have whatever you want."
Elena stared across her doppelganger in confusion before she wondered, "I thought you liked it in here?" The Gilbert vampire remembered what Katherine told Stefan yesterday when she was standing in her same spot with her twin sister about how Katherine was the safest bitch in town while inside of the tomb.
Katherine lightly shrugged the shoulder that wasn't against the wall before she muttered, "I've had time to reconsider."
Damon rolled his blue eyes as he realized what Katherine was saying before he spoke his thoughts out loud, "meaning you're hungry."
"I'm starving, Damon," Katherine exclaimed as she confirmed Damon's assumption. "And dirty," she added as she glanced down at her ruined dress from the Masquerade Ball. The Petrova vampire slowly ran her long fingers across the hard rocks of the wall that surrounded her before she continued, "but above all, I'm bored." Katherine rolled her brown eyes and mumbled, "at least running from Klaus wan't boring." She then moved off of the wall as it was beginning to become uncomfortable for her frail body before she told the couple, "so, here's the deal, you get me out of here, you get the moonstone and I'll disappear from Mystic Falls forever."
Elena and Damon immediately turned to one another at Katherine's trade she was offering to get her release from the tomb. They both knew if they had the moonstone in their possession, then Klaus wouldn't be able to use the human Gilbert girl for the sacrifice. However, the thought that kept overtaking both of their minds was that if it was the right choice to make to let Katherine run free.
The Petrova vampire smirked slightly when she saw the turmoil running through the Gilbert and Salvatore vampire's heads. She then slowly began to walk back into her personal hell as she called out to them, "let me know what you decide."
Once Katherine left the two vampires alone, she made her way back into her makeshift living quarters that she had been spending all of her days in, which was in the middle of the tomb where the space was the most biggest. Katherine then took a seat on the pillow that her doppelganger had brought her yesterday before she looked at the milky colored stone.
"I won't fail you, Dari," Katherine whispered to herself as she held the moonstone closely to her chest while she glanced to her left, where the Petrova book laid opened with a drawing of her family looking back at her. Katherine promised herself and her twin sister that she would follow through with Darina's and Maria's plan to protect Emily from Klaus no matter what. She was going to complete her promise to her twin sister even if it killed her in the process as she didn't want to disappoint Darina by not living by her last dying wish.
***
The human girl silently nodded her head from the dining room table, as she and the three vampires moved rooms when her twin sister began to tell the story of her and Damon going to the tomb to see Katherine. Emily then rose an eyebrow as she wondered to what they thought of their chat with her doppelganger's sister, "do you believe what Katherine said?"
The older Salvatore vampire scoffed with an eye roll before he uttered, "no, of course not. We just want the moonstone."
Elena nodded her head in agreement with her boyfriend before she turned and faced her twin sister. "Rose told Damon and I last night that her friend, Slater, said there's a way to destroy the spell that Klaus wants to break," the Gilbert vampire explained as it why they went to see Katherine in the first place.
"No spell, no doppelganger sacrifice," Damon stated before he told the human girl with a proud smirk settled on his face, "ergo, you both live."
The younger Salvatore vampire stood up from his seat and moved to stand behind Emily while leaning his body against the wooden chair before he interrogated his brother and Elena about stopping the sacrifice that would kill the human girl, "how would you destroy it?"
Elena reached across the table and placed her hand on top of her twin sister's as she stated with a small smile, "by releasing it from the moonstone." The Gilbert vampire was glad that something was finally looking up for them when Rose told her and Damon that last night thanks to her friend. It was a way Elena could keep her sister and everyone safe - which was the plan all along.
The human girl crossed her arms over her red crop top before she wondered with her brows furrowed deeply, "how do you guys even know this is gonna work?" Emily couldn't find it in herself to trust that they could just stop the sacrifice from happening by simply releasing it from the moonstone. It just sounded too easy.
"Cause we have a crafty witch on our side," Damon uttered with a smirk as he threw his arm across the chair the Gilbert vampire was sitting in.
Elena rolled her brown eyes at Damon before she faced her twin sister and uttered softly, "we talked to Bonnie before we came here. She said she'd do anything to help you and everyone else from being used in the sacrifice."
"How do you expect to get the moonstone from Katherine?" Emily questioned with a raised eyebrow before she stated, "you even said she wasn't going to give it to you without getting her release from the tomb - which you obviously aren't planning to do."
"We'll get it from her," Stefan promised to the human girl as he laid a kiss to the top of Emily's brown hair. Even though the younger Salvatore wasn't with Elena and his brother when they went back to have this conversation with Katherine, he was still planning on doing everything he could to help keep Emily safe.
"Exactly," Damon uttered with a smirk before he corrected his brother as he stared over at the human girl, "but what your boy toy means to say is that we will pry it from her cold, dead hands if we have to."
Elena slapped the blue eyed vampire's chest with another playful eye roll before she focused back onto her twin sister and Stefan, who wasn't exactly in the loop since she and Damon left them out of their talk with Katherine. "Bonnie just needs to find a way to release the seal long enough on the tomb for us to get in, get the moonstone, and get out in time for her to put the seal back up," the Gilbert vampire explained.
"Wow," Emily uttered sarcastically as she glanced between her twin sister and Damon, "it seems like you have the perfect plan all set up." However, that wasn't what Emily wanted. Yeah, she wanted to save everyone from being killed like her sister and her two best friends but Emily knew this wasn't the way to go.
The Gilbert vampire furrowed her brows at her sister's attitude. "Why do you sound like you disagree with our plan?" Elena questioned as she knew by the tone of Emily's voice that she wasn't really behind their idea.
"Because I don't," Emily told her twin sister as she wasn't going to sugar coat anything. She didn't think it was smart to go steal the moonstone from Katherine only to piss Klaus off by ruining his sacrifice. Emily literally just got told by her doppelganger's sister about how her whole family was killed because she ran from him. The human girl knew the same thing would happen to her loved ones and Emily wasn't going to allow that to happen. There was just no way.
The three vampire silently glanced at each other with equally confused and concerned expressions as Damon and Elena thought Emily would agree with their plan since how quickly Stefan was to jump on board about taking the moonstone from Katherine. The younger Salvatore vampire then walked around the human girl's chair and squatted down until he was eye level with her as he needed to know what was going through her mind. "What are you talking about, Emmie?" Stefan questioned before he uttered softly, "this is what we wanted, a way to keep you safe, and this the best choice we have to make sure you aren't sacrificed."
Emily quickly shook her head as she ran her fingers through her tamp brown hair. "I'm not going to let Klaus kill everyone I love because we pissed him off," the human girl stated as she voiced her worrying thoughts.
"Hey," Stefan whispered softly as he placed his cold hand onto the side of Emily's warm cheek. "I'm not going to let anything happen to anyone," the Salvatore vampire uttered as he glanced over to Damon and Elena, who nodded their heads in agreement before he focused back onto Emily. "And we'll deal with Klaus once we have the moonstone," Stefan added as he tried to ease the brunette girl's mind.
Emily hurriedly shook her head, once again, before she pushed her chair back and stood up. "I'm not okay with that," the human girl stated as she glanced at the now standing Stefan and the sitting Elena and Damon. "Katherine has lived through this!" She exclaimed, "she ran from him and he killed every single person she had loved." Emily lifted her point finger and stated with confidence, "I will not let that happen."
The younger Salvatore vampire quickly moved over to the human girl and gently placed his hand against her face. "Babe," Stefan whispered before he explained, "if we can de-spell the moonstone, we can save your life." Stefan didn't understand why Emily couldn't see this was the best choice they had. It could help save her and everyone else.
Emily grabbed Stefan's hand off of her cheek and kissed the inside of his cold palm before she took two large steps back. "I won't allow anyone else to be in danger," the Gilbert girl told the three vampires as she slowly began to walk backwards while mumbling, "I gotta go," before she turned around and quickly left them in the dining room while she escaped through the front door.
The human doppelganger didn't really have a place in mind once she stepped foot into the morning air of Mystic Falls. She just needed to get out of the house as there was no arguing with the choice the vampires had obviously made without caring what she thought.
However, while Emily slowly began to make her way out of the driveway of the Gilbert house, a thought suddenly popped into her head, which immediately caused Emily to turn her direction and walk towards her car. The brunette girl then quickly grabbed the spare key that's hidden above the left front tire of her black Honda before she swiftly began to drive through town with one place in mind. Emily knew exactly what she needed to do to keep everyone safe from Klaus' wrath and from ending up like Katherine's family. She was going to do whatever it took to keep everyone alive and she knew exactly who could help her.
