Chapter 66

"Really... I can't do this anymore, mom can I just tell her the truth?" Damon asked Mrs Salvatore who just looked on as she didn't understand a single thing that was going on. "What's he doing now?" Arianna whispered loudly. "Aurora you are not one of us, the Salvatore family is only raisin you". Damon said assuming a sober face. "You should repeat your words into your own ear. Get your ass out". Aurora collects get backpack from the butler and pushes Damon forward. "Good morning Madame, good morning sir". A young lady who looks like she would be around Damon's age or a little older. "Selina, nice to see you". "Nice to see you as well Aurora, always my favorite". "Arianna's here". "My second favourite, why you still don't take it well?" Selina asked with a smile. "No, I do now actually, it's great to see you my fifth favourite". Arianna replied with the same tone and smile. "Aurora what did you feed her?" Selina replied in surprise and an obvious pride at the savage attitude Arianna responded her with. It seemed the baby had now grown and there was no need to protect her again. "I just woke up one morning and she was like that". Aurora smiled sweetly, with pride like a mother whose kid got praised. "Selina they'll be late for school, you guys can talk when they return". "Don't be a grumpy pig". "I'll keep quiet so we can move on quickly". "Bye girls". Selina waves at the two. "Be home when we return... Please". Arianna pleaded. "I'll definitely be here to see you Ari". "Am I getting dumped?" "Even I am afraid of that..." Selina responds before closing the door after them. The drive to school was a swift one, whatever the two girls was discussing they didn't include Damon and only whispered between themselves and so Damon just watched the road and watched his thoughts. "End of discussion here we are". "Thank you for dropping us off". "You're welcome". Damon responded and watched the two walk away only for Aurora to run back to him. "What's it?" "I know selina told you how she felt about you, or maybe you just kind of found out, that gives you no legal ground to start giving her the cold shoulders and being hard on her". "What are you talking about?" "I'm not asking you to be truthful, but considering we spoke about lying just yesterday... Still don't let me see you being grumpy to her again". "Okay boss". "Good boy". Aurora responds and runs to join Arianna. Watching her walk away and shaking his head, how did she grow so quick it seemed just like yesterday she was standing at the door waiting for he and Brandon to return from school. "They grow too quick ". Damn muttered before stepping back into his car to drive around town. "That's the legendary Damon Salvatore?" A girl standing from afar off cooed. "Yeah, no wonder that girl can be so proud. Do they sell good looks in their house or something?" The girl beside her responds, clutching into her backpack. "He's so hot ". "There's nothing special about him, move on". Her friend responded cutting her off. "You sound jealous". The other girl replied only to be shut up by the glare from her friend. "Hey Paul". Arianna called as soon as they sighted him. "Hope you both got home safe yesterday?" Paul asked, waking up to them. "If we didn't we wouldn't be here". Aurora replies with a smirk. "What's with the buzz". Aurora asked looking around class. Everyone seemed to be in a pair talking about God knows what. "I think we're really having a new student". Paul whispered. "I think we knew that, just another human. What's the matter?" Aurora shrugs, dropping her backpack. "Might be two human". Paul answers. "What...?" Arianna asks in surprise. "Tori saw a male when she was at the teachers office and kenzie is sure her mom said a female. She asked again last night and is double sure". Paul explains. "Wow... Just wow". Aurora comments, before finally taking her seat. "Here comes the teacher". Little John screams as he runs into the classroom. Rolling her eyes at the always babyish behavior of her classmates, Aurora rests her head on the table obviously uninterested in the activities. "Aren't you going to see the new boy?" "I'm uninterested". "Good morning final year". Their homeroom teacher greeted. He was indeed accompanied by a boy. "It's him". Arianna whispered. "Aurora, trust me you want to see this one". Arianna said, shaking Aurora quite violently. "Who the heck is it..? Am I seeing this right?" Aurora smirked. "Him who... What is going on?" "The jerk boy from the eatery. The one Aurora vowed to kill". Aurora smiled, her legs were swinging back and forth underneath the chair, she was definitely becoming more like Aurora of late. "Oh, no". Paul moaned. "Oh yes you mean". Aurora says with a mischievous glint, it indeed looked like whatever she was planning was wicked. "Arianna, can you sit beside Paul?" "Why?" "Just take the empty sit beside Paul, please. It's the only empty sit". "Okay". Arianna responds and gets up. Whatever Aurora was planning she was also anxious to see it. "Yes Arianna what's the matter?" The homeroom teacher asked seeing the girl on her feet. "Nothing sir, I missed my seat". Arianna responds smiling at him. "Sit down fast, everyone attention". The teacher responds. Aurora and Arianna occupied two seats next to each other, while Paul sat a sit behind them. "Let me introduce to you the new student, Ian Gregory, who would be joining us this year. Quite unusual for us to have a new student in the final year right? Well he earned it by display of intelligence. Tori and Paul to your feet..." "Yes sir...". The two responds and gets up. "Ian, Tori's the class representative and she's assisted by Paul". "Thought, there wasn't class representatives in the beginning of the new session?" Ian asked. THE VEIL ON THE DARK
