*Chapter Twenty Seven*
"Well, this isn't awkward in the slightest" Emilia mutters from beside Alvina. In front of the two of them sits Damon and Enzo. They had said a few words here and there but both of them were avoiding the obvious.
Damon had been able to high jack a car but they had to get creative to hide Emilia and Enzo from the sun seeing as the tint on the windows wasn't strong enough. Despite some difficulties, they all made it to the hotel.
Alvina had been curious about what had happened to cause the fire to go off sooner. Damon told her someone that worked for Augustine figured out that Wes was compelled and tried to start trouble. However, Damon was able to kill the threats including Wes. He also was able to get some information on where the torturers of Augustine resides. Alvina could only assume they would be paying each of them a visit before returning to Mystic Falls.
"If you'll excuse me gentlemen and Alvina, I'll be in the shower for the next few hours" Emilia declares before making her way to the bathroom. Alvina moves away from the wall and grabs some clothes.
"Here, these should fit you until we can get you some more of your own clothes" Alvina says handing them to her.
"Thanks" Emilia mutters. Alvina nods and turns to leave when Emilia speaks up again. "I mean it, Alvina, thank you" Emilia says sincerely.
"It's no problem" Alvina says giving her a smile. "Take your time, I'll make sure they don't kill themselves"
"Good luck" Emilia smiles a bit. "I've heard all about Damon... Enzo will either rip his heart out or they'll be like brothers in a few minutes"
"Huh," Alvina smiles a bit. "Sounds like his relationship with Stefan.... and me... Is there anybody who doesn't want to kill Damon half the time?" Alvina wonders slowly walking back to the main room. Emilia smiles and laughs a bit before closing the door. "Well, the hotel is still in one piece so I guess you two are making progress"
"You know what we need?" Damon says standing up. Enzo looks at him curiously. "Guys night," He nods sparing a glance at Alvina before looking back at Enzo.
"Guys night?" He asks slowly and Damon nods.
"Start crossing some names off the list, what do you say?" Damon suggests reaching over and picks up the list of names he had stolen from Augustine.
"I think if you cross names off the list without Emilia she's going to kick your ass" Alvina comments.
"Al" Damon whines. "Inviting a girl defeats the purpose of guys night" He says obviously.
"Your funeral" Alvina shrugs laying on the bed. She picks up her phone but discretely eyes Enzo. This doesn't go unnoticed causing Enzo to smirk as he shamelessly stares at her.
"Hey, eyes over here lover boy" Damon says snapping his fingers in Enzo's gaze. "So, what do you say?"
"Sounds like fun" Enzo grins standing up. "Gonna miss me, beautiful?" He asks slipping a jacket on.
"And why would I do that?" She asks desperately avoiding looking at him. Enzo smirks and walks towards her. He sits on the bed by her legs.
"Oh, I don't know..." Enzo mutters grazing his finger tips up her calf. He keeps his eyes on her face. His grin deepens when he notices her fighting to hold a neutral look.
Alvina didn't want to admit it but she was annoyed that she broke Enzo out and the first thing he's going to do is run off with Damon. She wanted to be selfish and hog Enzo all to herself. She wanted to tell Damon to go fuck himself. However, she didn't want to overwhelm Enzo nor did she want to disappoint him.
Tonight is his first night of freedom in a very long time. If he wanted to spend that night with Damon killing those who hurt him, she wasn't going to stop him. If revenge is what he wanted she wouldn't stand in his way. Hell, if he asked she'd help him. She also knew him and Damon needed to work things out but that didn't stop her from wanting Enzo all to herself.
"I could always stay here with you," Enzo whispers. Alvina smiles a bit and looks up from her phone.
"I'll be here when you get back" She mutters.
"You could always come with us," He suggests. She scoffs and looks back at her phone.
"I've had my fair share of Damon, it's your turn" Damon frowns his eyebrows feeling fairly offended while Enzo smirks.
"We won't be out long, love" Enzo says standing up. "Try and get some rest" He says noting the fatigue practically rolling off of her.
"Oh my God, come on" Damon groans walking out of the hotel.
"Have fun" Alvina sings looking back at her phone.
"Don't miss me too much, love" Enzo grins at her backing out of the room wanting to watch her for as long as possible.
"Don't sweat it, I'll hardly notice your absence, love" Alvina replies with a smirk. He places his hand over his heart.
"You wound me, darling" He mutters dramatically.
"Oh, come on" Damon walks back to Enzo and drags him away. Alvina smiles a bit looking at the empty doorway before looking back at her phone.
A little bit over an hour later Emilia walks out of the shower. Alvina glances at her and smiles a bit. Luckily they had similar body types. Emilia is slightly curvier making the clothes fit her tighter but that didn't matter, she looked amazing.
"Thank god the showers have improved" Emilia grins using the towel to dry her hair.
"When were you turned?" Alvina wonders.
"1923" Emilia grins.
Alvina sits up and crosses her legs. She tosses her phone to the side giving Emilia her full attention hoping that she'd have an interesting story. Emilia smiles envisioning Alvina as a child waiting for her bedtime story.
"I was 19 at the time" Emilia began sitting at the foot of the bed. "I was living in Utah but I left home with a big 'fuck you' to my overbearing parents," Emilia laughs a bit. "Of course I had no money so I hitch hiked my way to New York and moved around when I got there. I found work in clubs as a flapper girl. I got very good very quick, I brought in a lot of business"
Alvina listens to her story intently. Emilia had this half distant look on her face as she recalled the memories. The vampire seemed both happy and sad as she told Alvina a snippet of her life story.
"One day a girl named Amanda approaches me. She's the head manager to one of the biggest clubs in New York. Only thing, a lot of humans go in but not so much leave," Emilia tells her.
"A vampire club?" Alvina guesses and Emilia nods.
"Vampires and witches crawled throughout the place. Some humans came through but it's pretty much exclusively supernatural" Emilia explains. "Amanda had heard of my rising success and fame so she came over with a proposition. She wants to turn me and make me one of her flapper girls"
"A female business owner in the 20's? Not very common"
"No, it's not" Emilia agrees. "Some dude named Christian actually owns the club but he hardly does anything, leaves everything up to Amanda. He owns a few clubs throughout the country. All female employees. Same gig, never does anything just there for the benefits. Although, he does give complete credit to the girls"
"Oh, well that's nice" Alvina shrugs and Emilia nods.
"I met him a couple of times but he mainly kept to himself. He's a homosexual which explains the female only staff," Emilia adds. "Anyways, I go to work for them and end up a vampire. Life is great until I decide to leave in 1943. My brother sends word that he's going into the war and I wanted to see him before he goes. I never make it, Augustine picks me up as I pass through one of their stations."
"I'm sorry that happened" Alvina says seriously.
"It's fine" Emilia shrugs. "It's done and over with. Anyways, after Damon set that fire Augustine transferred Enzo to my little hellhole where you found us" Alvina gives her a small, slightly awkward, smile. "Speaking of Damon and Enzo, where are the two bozo's?"
"They decided to have a guys night and start hunting down some of those Augustine doctors" Alvina tells her.
"Oh, really? Without me? How rude" She mutters while beginning to put her hair in a french braid.
"Told them not to do it but they're guys," Alvina shrugs. "They only listen when you threaten their dick and actually follow through" Emilia grins and laughs a bit. "So, now you're free, what're you going to do?"
Emilia stands up from the bed and walks to the mirror. She thinks of everything she's ever wanted to do but every time she thinks of a place to go there's a voice nagging her in the back of her mind. Her hand subconsciously brushes along her soul mark.
"Damon's surname is Salvatore, isn't it?" Emilia questions turning her head towards Alvina. The fairy slowly nods wondering why Emilia wanted to know. "Right," Emilia whispers turning her head away. "I'll probably head towards Utah, see if I have any family out that way still,"
"Well, if you ever wanna shake things up, come by Mystic Falls," Alvina tells her. "Damon will most likely still be there" She smirks. Emilia smiles slightly.
"Will you tell Enzo I'm sorry for leaving without saying good bye?" Emilia asks looking at her. "I just feel like if I wait for them to return I won't have the courage to leave,"
"I'll tell him," Alvina reassures her. "Here, my number" Alvina hands her a piece of paper. "Figure out what a cellphone is and send me a text,"
"Alright" Emilia mutters slightly confused but putting the paper in her pocket.
"I hope you find what you're looking for," Alvina tells her. Emilia smiles at her and nods before slipping out the door. Alvina sighs sitting back on the bed feeling slightly lonely but extremely tired. Almost as soon as her head hits the pillow she feels herself falling asleep.
