Doppel Crossed chapter 19 The Big C (10/10)

posted by HaleyDewit

Elena was still in the hospital. She had traded the bed for the seat, which was much more comfortable than the former.
The door opened and Damon came back with two coffees. He gave one to Elena and she took a sip, curling her nose.
“Is there alcohol in this?” she asked surprised.
“Oh, right, that’s mine” Damon apologized. “Sorry” He switched the cups and took a sip from his coffee with bourbon. “Why aren’t you in bed?” he asked a little accusatory.
“Damon, don’t start” Elena said in begging tone.
Damon shut his mouth and signaled that she had to get up. Elena pulled a face and stood up reluctantly. Damon took her seat and pulled her on his lap. She lay her head in his neck and soon she fell asleep. Damon caught her cup and put it on the pedestal cupboard along with his.
An hour later the door opened again and Meredith appeared. She had a piece of paper in her hand and a sober face.
“Elena” Damon whispered.
Elena slowly opened her eyes and looked a little mad at Damon. Why didn’t he let her sleep? Then she lifted her head and turned it so she could see Meredith.
“I just came back from the lab” Meredith started sinister. “And I’m afraid I have bad news. The cancer has returned”
Damon squeezed Elena’s hand as he felt her trembling.
“You have to start taking chemo right away” Meredith added deadly serious.

The door in the living room went open and Kelsey entered the house. She had wished her parents were gone to bed, but even her 13 year old sister was still awake.
“You’re home early” Amber noted, looking at the clock. “It’s not even midnight yet”
“What’s on your head?” Gabe pointed at Kelsey’s head. Kelsey, who had forgotten there was blood on it, tried to wipe her head. “Oww” she groaned.
“What is it?” Gabe repeated. Kelsey shot a glance at her sister and Rachel understood what she was trying to say. “Amber, go to your room. It’s bedtime”
It was as if Rachel...

Amber was lying on the bed, her hands and feet tied. Jeremy was sitting on his office chair, watching her from a safe distance.
“Let me go” Amber said. “Please, let me go”
Jeremy didn’t move. He wished Kelsey would get back soon. It had taken him all his strength to tie Amber up.
“Let. Me. Go!” Amber screamed. She moved her body up and down and pulled her hands to make them loose.
“Sssh! Shut up!” Jeremy said when he heard footsteps on the stairs.
“Jeremy?” Alaric said. “Is everything okay?”
“Eh, yeah, I’m watching a movie on my computer” Jeremy replied, with his...

The next morning
Jeremy stumbled off the stairs; he probably would’ve fallen down if he hadn’t hold on to the banisters. Coffee, he needed coffee and lots of it. He staggered to the kitchen and opened the cupboard to get out a cup. He managed to take three out and watched them shatter into pieces on the floor.
“Damnit” he said and he ducked to collect the fragments. He picked one and naturally cut his hand. “Shit” he cursed.
“It’s never a good idea to swear in the very early morning” Alaric entered the kitchen and noticed the glass and the blood. “Does it hurt?” he asked...

Caroline was standing at the edge of the woods, waiting for Matt. They would meet each other here, to have lunch. She was about to call him, when she saw him coming her way. “Sorry I’m late” Matt apologized. “I was occupied by this annoying kid who had all sorts of questions about me. I didn’t even know who she was” Caroline pulled a wondering face. “What kind of questions?” she carefully asked. She motioned with her head to the woods and they started walking. Matt shrugged. “She asked if I believed in monsters. I don’t know where it was coming from, she just started talking...
