Day 255 — Mistletoe Mingle
[You won't hear them coming. You won't see their snare. The mistletoe bots are out and they're hunting you, two by two. You can run and you can hide, but eventually you will be caught, and then there's nothing left to do but kiss your way out!]

(OOC: Mingle until your lips are chapped! Information on mistletoe bots event.)

[ elena is out and about early, none the wiser of what this day will bring. of course she remembers last mistletoe day - kissing rebekah, damon, ric, sam... but she's not thinking of that as she strolls along and adjusts the contents of her bag. it's some cheerleading essentials; she's taking them to the complex. ever since caroline disappeared cheerleading practice has screeched to a halt. it's not really a choice for elena; she knows she'll continue cheerleading in caroline's stead, for caroline. (in the hope she'll return.)

sam's hard to miss, and she spots him as soon as her eyes raise. her breath catches some (because - well, no, she won't linger on the because) and she smiles.
] Hey.

Elena. [His breath should be mimicking that catch. She's probably the most dangerous person he could see today and that's saying something given the contents of this prison. But he moves towards her instead of away.] Hi.

[Words. He should use more.] That's a big bag.

[ she knows it hasn't been so long since she's seen him, yet she's glad of it, seeing him. for a bit there sam wasn't as constant as he was before, and now... all the looking up at him is interrupted by his observation. she glances down at it. (it would be heavy if she wasn't a vampire.) ] Uhm, yeah. Cheerleading stuff. I thought I might get things ready for practice in a few days. [ she doesn't say: it was important to caroline, but her frown implies the loss and reason. ] What are you up to?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

So true!

[He nods. She doesn't have to say it, he knows that was Caroline's thing and not so much Elena's. If she's continuing it then he can understand why.] I was thinking about getting something to eat. What about you?

...I already kind of asked that when I mentioned the bag, didn't I?

[ has elena mentioned she often wryly considers sam's social faux pas endearing? not that she should - but can't help it, sometimes. her brow raises and she smiles. ] Kind of. [ the words have a warm note to them. ] I've been meaning to actually... talk to you. I wanted to say thank you. For everything. I really don't know what I would've done if you... hadn't been there for me. [ she swallows thickly. ]

[She gets smiles out of him more easily than she should. This one is soft. Thoughtful.] I'm glad I could be there, but you would have found another person to talk to or another way to cope.

You're one of the strongest people I know, and just so you know, coming from me that means a lot.

[ having someone believe in her - someone who she hasn't shielded from the pain she's been through, someone who's always acknowledged it - means something. he's right: she would have been fine. she would have coped, with or without him or anyone else.

but the thing about losing so many people you love is... well, you don't want to. tears warm her eyes but don't fall and she offers him a watery smile. she takes a few steps closer.
] I guess I've been feeling... alone. [ as a vampire, stefan moving on, damon... being damon. ] And Caroline... [ she trails off. she's been everything. ] She's my best friend. [ they've been through so much here. ] Now me and Bonnie have this empty room... I'm just gonna miss her.

[This probably isn't a place to suggest things to fill the empty room. That's not the point. Elena lost someone who was a big part of her life and she has to go on without that part now.

How many times did he lose Dean? Too many and for too long and he never handled it well, clinging to obsession and hunting through it all.]


You're not alone. Like you said you have Bonnie and [He hates saying it but as far as he knows they are together so...] Damon. And me.

[ empty rooms have haunted elena before. her parents', then jenna's... the couch where ric used to sleep no matter how many times she offered to move him into a real room. she's lived in an empty house - jeremy in denver, bonnie angry with her and just lost her mom... she's felt alone before, lost; this is comparable in so many ways and yet entirely different.

she nods once, solemnly and assured, at his words, but with a flutter in her lashes as she glances down for a split second. not telling sam about damon ending things was intentional on her part, before. how could she explain without explaining... what she is? how could she without lying?

and now... after the photos and all this. she pressed her lips together.
] You're right.

Sam, I... left something out. About becoming a vampire, about Damon. [ she pauses a moment. she wants him to know; he deserves... ] It was his blood that turned me.

[It's probably fortunate Bonnie was still around or he might have made an impulsive offer to have her move in with him and Salty. Not like anyone would have a problem with that, right?

He pauses at her next words. From what he knows about the situation it was either turn or die, so he can't exactly hate Damon for doing this to her which leaves him wondering why she's telling him.]


I guess that's not a surprise. [But he watches her, waiting for more.]

[ the words come slowly. partially because she wants to make sure he understands. partially because it's the first time she's admitting any of this. ] Things didn't work out between me and Damon... because of that. [ she pauses, feeling the sting of truth. it was because of that, and because it made more sense to him to believe she could never love him, that it could never be real. that the way she feels isn't real. it hurts; it aches.

she exhales.
] Sometimes when there's a bond between a person and the vampire whose blood turns them... that bond becomes... real. [ there's a note of bitterness there. her shoulders lift slightly. ] I was sired to Damon. Everything he said, I'd do. Whatever he wanted, whatever would make him happy... I would have done it all without thinking. [ she shakes her head, remembering - remembering damon's reaction, remembering his decision which left her entirely without say or choice. ironically. thinking of how she wanted to make him happy. how a part of her still would want to. ] Rebekah compelled me not to let the bond affect me. I asked her to do it. [ that's it. all of it. she stops, looks up at him. ]

Elena... [He frowns, not in disappointment, but worry. How long was she in that state without realizing it? What did she do that she didn't want?

And yes, the thought that they aren't together anymore is here too. Something he didn't know and doesn't know how long it's been true. As well as anger and mistrust toward Damon as unfounded as it might be wondering—almost certain—he knowingly used this to his advantage. But first and foremost concern for the girl talking to him now.]


Did it work? Are you free of the bond with Rebekah's compulsion?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]matter
2014-03-01 05:57 am UTC (link)
Yes. [ she's free to make her own choices and damon's free to... make his. (yet it didn't truly work out; it's something she tries to accept, not getting what she wants, knowing why she doesn't. it doesn't mean the feelings don't turn to bitterness, sometimes.) ] I want you to know the full story. [ why she does is another set of rationales and feelings: because it's hers and she wants to share it, because it's sam and there's still desire and possibility in the pit of her stomach when she thinks of him, sees him, talks to him.

because it's the truth and he deserves to hear it.

Were you...? [He stops, unsure about his wording. This is such a delicate thing to discuss and maybe he shouldn't be asking, but he has to know. He just won't look too deeply into the reasons he must know.] Did he compel you into that relationship?

[ the question is met with silence. only after a short moment does she start, shift on he feet: when she realizes what he means, what he's asking. (and after, why he'd be asking, why he'd need to know.) elena blinks, parts her lips, answers. ] Sam, Damon wouldn't- [ she knows why he would think he would. knows why he would ask. it doesn't change her answer. she's certain. (damon wants it to be real. he needs it to be. with her, if no one else.) ] No. [ it was always her choice. ]

[He wants to ask if she would know if he had, but not enough to make the words come. Instead, he nods.] You've been dealing with a lot. [Are you okay?]

[ she senses his doubt, but her certainty is untouched by it; it's not faith in damon that drives it, but faith in herself and her judgement. she hasn't lost that, despite all of this. (what she truly cared for, wondered, however selfishly and quietly, is how the repetition of her decision might hurt him: hearing that choice again, despite the truth motivating her to repeat it. how he might hear that motivation as her continued resolve when...)

her smile is brave, because she knows what he's asking.
] No more than usual. [ her somber smile falls. ] We've all been.

[ she wants him to know the truth, right? ] Damon... doesn't think we could ever work out. [ she shakes her head. the words are the truth, said factually and simply, but there's a thickness to them because they mean something to her. they hurt. ] He wants to be loved but he doesn't know how to believe it when he is.

2014-03-08 04:38 pm UTC (link)
[ yes. of course it's yes. she loves him; she's in love with him, and that's not going to just stop or be willed away. she's learned that. the past few months, they've taught her something more. maybe before it would feel like defeat; a part of her still sees it as that. as disappointment.

but she doesn't say yes, because wanting it isn't the issue.
] I can't... make him be ready for something when he's not ready. [ how many times has she asked that and it fell apart? ] But I can't wait around for it either.

[Wanting it may not be the issue in having it, but it's still what Sam wanted to know. Whether it's something he should know or should want to know is a different story entirely, but he has his answer even if she didn't state it in simple "yes"-shaped terms.

Funny how much her answer sounded like one he might have given not long ago about her.]


No, I guess not. It never gets dull, does it? [Her life. His life. Layers of complicated and difficult on top of more layers of complicated and difficult. He's had more of a respite than she has here in prison for however long that lasts.]

[ she smiles and it's full of dry, weak humor. it never is dull, not for her and not for him. at home or here, apparently.

(if she wants to be with damon or not is what sam wanted to know. elena realizes that; she realizes she answered his question too. she's not sure she's answered her own question about all this sometimes, when she's with sam. she's afraid of the answer; it's selfish.)

speaking of thing's never being dull, there could be a mistletoebot catching them in its evil radius right about now. it nudges elena closer and starts piping up about kissage. that is a look of alarm on her face.

[He was so caught up in talking to Elena he'd managed to forget exactly what day it was, but here's his reminder. It's the day when everything feels just a little more complicated than it did the day before.]

It's almost like it was listening to me.

[ listening to the both of them even? or y'know they have horrible muns. the irony isn't lost on elena. her alarm transforms; the prospect of sam kissing her, her kissing sam... now. during this conversation, after everything. it won't be easy or fair, and in true elena gilbert fashion, her concern is for him. she shakes her head. ] Sam, we don't have to- [ 'kiss!' the bot insists. oh wait, they do, and her reassurance that they don't isn't realistic.

elena licks her lips and stumbles forward another step, right in front of him. close enough that she has to lift her eyes to find his. the moment she does, she feels a burst of annoyance and humiliation at their situation and exhales.
