*Chapter Forty Two* {The Dinner Party}
*Skipped Crying Wolf but there will be some flash backs and mentions to the episode.
I've expressed before that Enzo is a character I'm not too familiar with, especially to write about. So I want your honest opinion. Do you guys think I'm portraying Enzo well? Should I change something or am I missing something?
P.S. Imma be asking the same questions about Kai when he eventually shows up... I like they're characters and I wanna do a good job.. Tell me what you think!*
"And how do you kill Klaus?" Bonnie interrogates Luka. "How do you kill an Original vampire?" Alvina bites back a growl, forcing herself to stay in the background. Jeremy glances at Bonnie but she keeps her look trained on the warlock in front of them.
Whatever information Luka had, he didn't want to give up. He tries to fight the spell Bonnie put on him but with the tricks Alvina had given her, it's practically impossible.
"He'll kill me if I tell you," He desperately tries to explain. "Don't make me," He pleads but Bonnie is relentless.
"It's ok, Bonnie," Jeremy tries to break her determination. "We can find another way,"
"No," Bonnie refuses. "I have to know," She whispers to herself. "How will you kill Klaus?" Alvina is one step away from drawing blood from how hard she's biting her lip. She wanted to snap Bonnie's neck for wanting the information and wanted to rip Luka's heart out for having the information. While she wouldn't kill Bonnie, she wouldn't exercise the same amount of restraint toward Luka.
"After the sacrifice, Klaus will be vulnerable... weak," Luka explains, finally caving into the spell's influence. "It's our only chance,"
"After the sacrifice?" Caroline questions. She and Bonnie share a look.
"What do you mean, after?"
"Klaus will be vulnerable," Luka repeats.
"But Elena will be dead," Bonnie states, praying that Luka was wrong. He looks down and slowly nods his head.
"Yes, Elena has to die,"
"No," Jeremy whispers, his heart dropping to his stomach.
Alvina hated the position she was in. She knew keeping Jeremy in the dark about Klaus was a bad idea but she didn't know how she was going to tell him. How do you tell your current mate that your future shared mate plans on killing his sister? And then on top of that almost everyone involved wants to kill said future mate?
"Have you gotten any sleep?" Enzo questions, joining Alvina in the kitchen of the Salvatore home. She glances towards him, her eyes following him as he joins her at the table. He pulls her seat closer to his, his hands running up and down her bare legs. "What happened with Bonnie and Caroline last night?"
While Jeremy and Alvina had assisted Bonnie and Caroline with Luka, Enzo joined Damon to confront Elijah. Luckily, Enzo didn't accompany Damon home, therefore didn't get attacked by the werewolves. Fortunately, for the werewolves, they fled during the night before Alvina had learned about their attack on Damon. Had she had known earlier, she would have ended the remainder of the mutt's. Although, Enzo told her about Elijah attacking Damon, she had to admit Damon got what was coming.
"Luka confessed that Elijah plans on letting Elena die for the sacrifice," Alvina explains to him. "Only once the sacrifice has been completed will Klaus be weak enough for Elijah to... kill him,"
"And let me guess, you didn't tell Jeremy?" Enzo asks, Alvina shakes her head. "Do you have any ideas on what you're going to do?"
"Every time I learn about Klaus, I just learn something bad about him," Alvina whispers. "I don't know how he's going to react to us, I don't know how Jeremy's going to react to him,"
"We need to tell Jeremy," Enzo tells her. "We all need to be on the same page, have a strong front. If we work together, we might be able to accomplish something but if we continue to be divided we won't be nearly as strong. I know you want to protect him but neither of us can protect him from this,"
"I know," Alvina mumbles. "I just can't wait until we get past all of this and get to our happily ever after," She whispers, smiling at him. Enzo smiles back. He wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her onto his lap.
"We'll get there," He whispers, kissing the side of her head. "It's just gonna take a lot of work, communication, and maybe some ass kicking to get to that point," Alvina laughs quietly and leans back to look at him.
"Most definitely some ass kicking," Alvina smirks. "And it's not gonna be our ass that are gonna get kicked," Enzo shakes his head.
"No, ma'am," He smirks, putting their heads together.
"You two are up early," Damon comments, strutting into the kitchen. Alvina hardly acknowledges his presence. She simply hums and snuggles into Enzo's chest. Enzo smirks resting his head on top of hers.
"Good to see you up and walking around, mate," Enzo replies.
"Would have expected you to be walking around with pointy ears and a tail," Alvina teases.
"Had to stop her from buying chew toys on the way home," Enzo adds, smirking at the unamused, raven haired vampire.
"Are you two done?" Damon asks.
"For now," Alvina winks at him. Damon rolls his eyes leaning against the counter.
"Got any plans for today?" Damon asks. Alvina shares a look with Enzo.
"Yeah, we've got something on our minds, why?" Enzo asks, his eyes returning to Damon, who shrugs nonchalantly.
"Planning on killing an Original," Alvina raising an eyebrow. "Not yours," He adds with a forced smirk. Alvina could see in his eyes that he hated the fact that Klaus is their mate. It complicated things ten fold. At the moment, protecting Elena and keeping Klaus alive seemed impossible to achieve.
"If you're planning on killing Elijah, be smart," Enzo tells him. "He stabbed you with a pencil," He reminds him.
"He got the jump on me," Damon says, defensively.
"It was a warning," Enzo tells him. "If you're going to ignore the warning then be clever,"
"If you miss your shot, he will kill you," Alvina warns him. "And then I'm gonna have to kill him and I don't need more on my plate right now, don't fuck up,"
"Damn, you two are in a cheerful mood this morning," Damon grumbles rolling his eyes. "If you need me I'll be fucking my life up, someone call a hot therapist," He hollers, walking out of the room.
"Drama queen," Alvina rolls her eyes. Enzo tightens his grip around her, his head burrowing in her neck. "How are we gonna break it to Jeremy?"
"Just rip off the Band-Aid," Enzo mumbles. Alvina whines, burrowing her head in his neck. Enzo smiles, kissing the side of her head. "Just remember, the only thing he might be angry about is that we kept it from him. The rest is Klaus's fault,"
"I know," Alvina mumbles. "Maybe we should make a nice dinner for him," Alvina suggests. "Stefan's out at the lake house and Damon's going to be gone all day, we'll have this place to ourselves,"
"It's a good idea," Enzo agrees.
"Why don't you go tell Jeremy about the dinner and I'll go get some stuff to prepare? We don't exactly have a ton of food here and I want the dinner to be nice so he can have some kind of niceness this evening," Alvina tells him.
"It's gonna work out, beautiful, trust me," Enzo says caressing the sides of her neck. She smiles cupping his wrists. "I'm with you the whole way," He mutters kissing her lips gently. Alvina smiles a bit and leans into him.
"Stop distracting me," She whispers, against his lips. Enzo smirks pecking them once more before leaning back.
"I can't help that you're extremely tempting," He says, gliding his thumb over her skin. Alvina smirks rolling her eyes.
"I'll be back," She whispers, pumping her nose with his before climbing off his lap. He impulsively smacks her ass causing her to jump slightly. She spins towards him as he smirks towards her unapologetically. "Behave," She says, pointing at him.
"Or what?" He dares, leaning across the table. Alvina puts her hands on the table and leans towards him.
"Or I'm just gonna have to punish you," She whispers, causing the corners of his lips to lift more.
"Like what?" He whispers, completely entranced by her gaze.
"Like..." She says, dragging the word out under her breath. She lifts her hand and traces his jaw with her finger, her nail digging into his skin. "No sex for a week," She smirks the moment he pouts. "Be a good boy, Lorenzo," She winks, pulling back.
Alvina walks away from the kitchen, swaying her hips as she goes. Her smugness wipes off of her face when Enzo appears in front of her and forces her against the wall. Her hands instinctively press against his chest but they're quickly relocated above her head, Enzo's large hands trapping them tightly.
"I'm not Jeremy, sweet girl," Enzo whispers, lowering his head towards hers. "I'm not just going to lay down and accept my punishment. You're mine, Alvina Calypso Miller, as is that ass," Alvina's breath hitches in her throat causing Enzo's smugness to broaden. The instant his hands relax, Alvina pulls her wrists free. She grips the loops of his pants and flips their position.
"And I'm not the type of girl that's gonna let you have all the control," Alvina smirks, pressing her hips against his. Enzo grins, not shy in the slightest about the fact that everything about her turns him on. Alvina's smirk deepens upon feeling him harden against her. "You don't want to start a teasing game with me, love, I'm much too stubborn to give in and far too sexy for you to resist," Enzo growls, wrapping an arm around her waist and slithering a hand into her hair.
"I love you," He confesses, reconnecting their lips hungrily.
"If this is what I see every morning, consider me a morning person," Jeremy moans at the scene in front of him. Enzo and Alvina both smirk but don't pull away at first.
"We'll have to pick this up later," Alvina whispers, pulling back. Enzo looks into her eyes, his mind leaving their little bubble and coming back to the real world. With Jeremy standing not far from them, they're reminded of what they're going to do tonight. Enzo places a gentle hand on the side of her face, his eyes trying to send encouragement to her. Alvina gives him a small smile and pecks his lips before stepping back.
"Don't stop on my account," Jeremy grins. Alvina turns toward him and winks.
"You can watch and participate as much as you want later but right now I'm going grocery shopping," She says walking up to him. "We're having dinner here tonight while we have the place to ourselves,"
"Mmm, that sounds good," Jeremy hums. Alvina smiles draping her arms around his neck.
"I'll be back," Alvina whispers. Her lips press against his for a long few seconds before pulling back. "Don't burn the place down," She whispers, walking around him. "I'll be back soon!" She hollers over her shoulder stepping outside. "Some men never learn," She whispers to herself once her eyes land on Damon's beloved car.
"Sounds like Damon left the car," Jeremy laughs, hearing the engine roar to life and speed down the road.
"I'm surprised she doesn't have one for herself seeing how much she enjoys driving," Enzo comments, following his mate into the kitchen.
"She can't afford one," Jeremy tells him. Enzo frowns his eyebrows. "She's a fairy, she doesn't have compulsion like you guys. She can't just go around and get whatever she wants," Jeremy explains to him.
"But her and Damon are very close," Enzo says. "Why does he not get her one?"
"I don't think it ever occurred to him that she might want one," Jeremy shrugs. "She doesn't vocalize what she wants a lot, you kind of have to watch her carefully. She doesn't like asking for help on buying stuff and such. She doesn't ask Damon because he's done so much for her and she doesn't want to take advantage of him,"
"Take advantage?" Enzo wonders taking a seat at the table. "He wouldn't mind in the slightest. He'd probably get her an entire car lot if she desired,"
"Like I said, he doesn't know she wants one," Jeremy tells him. "She has so much fun stealing his car and never mentions or hints anything, he just doesn't think about it,"
"Did she tell you this?" Enzo asks and Jeremy nods.
"Back when we first got together," Jeremy tells him. "I just don't have the resources to get her what she wants," Jeremy shrugs. Enzo hums falling into deep thought.
Eventually Alvina returned with the groceries. Although, the food was meant for dinner Alvina began to cook. She couldn't stand still. She wanted to keep her mind occupied and decided to just cook. Who cares if they ended up having an early dinner or late lunch?
Enzo and Jeremy kept her company in the kitchen. They helped where they could but Alvina mainly took the reins. She wasn't the best cook by any means. In fact, she was surprised she hasn't set anything on fire yet. Hopefully the food would come out edible.
While Alvina cooked, conversation flowed between the three of them. It wasn't as effortless as it normally was. Alvina would either ramble or get lost in her own mind. Enzo couldn't seem to keep his concerned eyes off of Alvina. Jeremy could cut the tension with a knife. He hoped that whatever has Enzo and Alvina on edge would go away by the time they ate but the tension only amplified as the day turned to evening.
"Ok, what is going on?" Jeremy asks, causing his mates to practically freeze. "What has you two so tense? You both seemed fine this morning," Alvina and Enzo share a look. Enzo shrugs and nods causing Alvina to sigh. "Seriously, what is going on?"
"We've been keeping something from you," Alvina admits, hesitant to look him in the eyes.
"Ok..." Jeremy drones on. "What is it?" Alvina sighs heavily, shifting in her seat.
"I spoke to Elijah not too long ago and he told me something... something that you need to know," Alvina tells him.
"Ok..."
"He told me who N.M. is," She says. Jeremy continues to stare at her before his eyes flicker to her covered forearm.
"So, he knows who our other soulmate is?" Jeremy asks. Alvina nods. "That's good... isn't it?" He asks.
"Under normal circumstances, yes," She tells him. "But this makes our situation... very complicated,"
"Complicated? I thought soulmates are supposed to be simple,"
"They are, unless they're him," Alvina says.
"Ok. So, who is he?"
"He's Elijah's brother," Alvina explains, glancing towards Enzo. "His names Niklaus Mikaelson but... But everyone calls him... Klaus,"
*Hope you guys had a good holiday!*
