“Damon, what are we doing here?”
Damon had parked his car in front of Ric’s loft and now a mischievous smile was playing around his lips. “You want your necklace back, don’t you?”
Elena shook her head. “No, I don’t miss it” she said.
Damon averted his head to her. “But you need it. There’s vervain in it”
“I’ll drink vervain tea” Elena suggested.
“You can forget” Damon warned. “And it could mix with your other tea”
“And you think my necklace is in there?” Elena asked doubtful.
“I know it is” Damon replied. “Katherine told me Rebekah has it”
“And you think she’s just going to hand it over?” Elena asked even more doubtful.
“Probably not” Damon smirked. “But then again I wasn’t going to ask her” He stepped out of the car and Elena followed him. They walked up the front porch and Damon kicked the door open.
“Hey!” a female voice was heard and an instant later Rebekah appeared from a distance. She walked to them with fierce steps and she lifted her hand to scratch Elena, but Damon grabbed her arm with his right hand.
“Nice necklace. Mind if I take it?” he said and with his left hand he jerked the necklace of Rebekah’s neck and gave it to Elena.
“Hey!” she repeated. Apparently her vocabulary was extremely short today.
“Can you wait in the car, Elena?” Damon asked, looking sharp at Rebekah.
“I think I’d rather stay here” Elena replied hesitantly.
“I think you should go home, pick out a dress for tonight” Damon commented.
“Right” Elena said slowly. “Okay, I guess you’ll take it from here. Try not to make too much of a mess. This is still Ric’s loft, you know” She tapped Damon’s back and turned around. She felt Rebekah’s eyes piercing in her back, but reassured by the fact that Damon wouldn’t let Rebekah anywhere near her she walked outside the open door.
