29


Agneta sat on the couch with Damon in the parlor...waiting for the others to show up, her fingers traced little circles on his arm as they waited; until her mind started to wander to the topic of Damon and Elena.

"Damon, can I ask you something?" Agneta asked.

"Neta, you can ask me anything," Damon smiled lightly.

"Do you have feelings for Elena?" Agneta questioned, looking at Damon... her eyes searched for the truth.

"No, I told you I only care about Stefan's happiness and I meant that... I will do anything in my power to keep him happy, besides I've been crazy about you since the moment you stepped out of that carriage," Damon smiled, wrapping his arm around Agneta.

Flashback:

It was a late afternoon when Agneta's carriage pulled into the Salvatore estate, she turned towards her friend Katerina.... with a confused expression.

"Katerina, are you sure about this?" Agneta questioned, looking out the window as they road up to the large estate.

"Absolutely! Mr. Salvatore has two sons; from what I heard," Katerina smiled. "It's just for a couple of days."

The carriage came to a sudden halt, and within seconds the door was opened....allowing Agneta to get a better view of the estate.

Agneta placed her hand on top of the footman's hand, carefully stepping out of the carriage and onto the ground..... Agneta quickly smoothed out any wrinkles and tucked loose strands of hair behind her ears.

"Miss Mackenzie! Miss Pierce!" An older voice greeted, causing Agneta to spin around to face the voice.

Katerina and Agneta stood side by side as an older man walked up towards them, a smile plastered his face.... He gently placed a kiss on each of their hands.

"I am most grateful for you both accepting my offer of staying here," The man replied.

"Mr. Salvatore," Katerina smiled, curtsying to the man.

"Oh please, you both can call me Giuseppe," Mr. Salvatore laughed.

Suddenly two young men walked out of the large estate and made their way towards Katerina, Agneta and Giuseppe.

"Please meet my sons," Giuseppe replied. "The dark haired boy is my eldest, Damon and the light haired boy is my youngest, Stefan,"

Agneta fixated her gaze on the eldest brother.

"The famous Salvatore brothers," Katerina spoke up, grabbing Agneta's attention. "We've heard quite the tales of the two of you, your closeness and gentlemanliness travels a great deal of distance.... Many of the ladies in town, fancy the both of you without ever actually setting eyes on you both,"

"You flatter us, Miss Pierce," Stefan chuckled lightly, taking Katerina's hand and placed a kiss on it. "Words of yours and Miss Mackenzie's beauty travels too, we too can see why."

Agneta turned towards the eldest brother once again, only to notice he was staring back at her..... he gently took her gloved hand, his warmth spreading through the material; as his lips touched the same fabric. Agneta's stomach immediately started to churn as his crystal blue eyes stared down at her.

"Miss Mackenzie, it is a pleasure that you decided to stay with us," Damon smiled lightly.

Flashback ends:

After a few more minutes everyone started to show, including someone Agneta didn't expect.... standing by Elena stood Jenna; who looked at Agneta with such fear.

"Elena, why is Jenna staring at me.... like I've murdered someone?" Agneta questioned.

"Oh right! Uh-After Klaus threatened Jenna, I decided to tell her the whole truth.... including on who's a vampire," Elena replied, looking rather nervous.

"You've got to be bloody kidding me! That wasn't your secret to tell," Agneta snapped.

"I'm sorry but it happened all so fast...." Elena mumbled.

Agneta's eyes shifted back to Jenna, who took a step forward.

"Don't blame Elena, Alaric lunged at us and Stefan stopped him.... I-I saw his face change and asked Elena, so blame me not her," Jenna said.

"Jenna," Agneta sighed. " That wasn't Alaric."

"Right, your brother is possessing him," Jenna mumbled confusedly.

Suddenly everyone turned their heads towards the front door, hearing it open and close.... Stefan, Damon, Elijah and Agneta were all on high alert. The four of them heard the footsteps get louder and louder, until Damon lunged at whoever entered the room.

"Who is it?" Stefan asked, trying to get a better look.

Damon quickly jumped to his feet and held up Alaric.

"You got a lot of nerves!" Damon mumbled.

"It's me! It's really me! Klaus let me go," Alaric panicked.... seeing the hunger in Damon's eyes.

"Prove it," Agneta said, taking a step forward.

"One night while I was as over at Jenna's... Jeremy walked in on us-" Alaric goes to say but was cut off.

"Whoa! It's him," Jenna yelled.

"I assume our brother sent you here to deliver us a message, so go on with it," Elijah spoke up, growing impatient.

"I-uh yeah he did," Alaric mumbled. "He said it happens tonight."

All of a sudden the air in the room got thick, causing everyone to go uneasy.

"Elijah, you said you had a plan... care to fill us in?" Elena asked, keeping her mind off the fact that she mind die tonight.

"I do, but in order for it to work.... I'll need a few things," Elijah replied.

Stefan took a step forward and shook his head disappointingly.

"How are we sure this isn't a trap?" Stefan questioned, looking from Elijah to Elena.

"Because Elijah wants what we want.... and that's stopping Klaus," Elena said.

Stefan sighed with annoyance before shrugging his shoulders, he looked around over at Agneta.... waiting for her to say something but instead she just looked away.

"I'll need a word with the witch and the location of where she's at," Elijah replied, rolling up his sleeves.

Damon laughed loudly before crossing his arms over his chest.

"Yeah, that's not happening," Damon said.

"Damon, Elijah needs Bonnie for the plan... In order for this plan to work, you need to tell him where she's at," Agneta replied, placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Fine, but I'll show you," Damon mumbled, looking over at Elijah.

"I look forward to that," Elijah said, with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
