Wayward Hearts- Book 4

Part 47

"Uh, okay," Stefan wracked his brains for the answer to the question, "think, ponder, brain. I don't know. Uh, skull."

Elena jumped up and down, "Yes!"

Elena continued miming, pointing to her arms.

Stefan continued guessing, "All right! Skull, skull. Ok. Limb. Joint. Bone. Bone, bone. Skull and bones."

"Yes!" Elena smiled excitedly.

"Five-zero, five-zero. Come on, guys. Zip," Stefan mocked Caroline and Damon, "Emma, you wanna get in on this? You and Luke could be a team."

"Not a chance in hell," Emma lounged back in her chair with her head on one armrest and her legs flopped over the other, she popped another handful of trail mix in her mouth.

Caroline huffed, "The whole point of trail mix is to eat the good stuff Emma."

"I am eating the good stuff," Emma complained.

"Picking around the peanuts and only eating the chocolate and fruit doesn't count," Caroline informed her.

Damon smiled at Emma, amused at her antics. He was happy to see her acting more like herself after so much had happened.

"All right," Damon sat up and grabbed a bottle of liquor, he began pouring shots, "let's play a different game called, Never Have I Ever."

Emma sat up and grabbed a shot, "Now that is my kinda game."

"I am not drunk enough for that," Elena complained as she plopped down on the couch next to Stefan.

"Oh, come on, it'll be fun," Caroline encouraged.

"Yeah," Damon egged it on, "it'll be fun."

"I'll go first," Caroline offered, "never have I ever died."

"Oh god," Emma laughed, "how many shots do I have to take?"

Damon motioned for Emma to come over to him. She got up and walked over, sitting on top of his lap and wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Cheers," Damon smiled.

Everyone drank their shots.

"Ooh, I have one," Stefan offered, "never have I ever been possessed by my evil doppelgänger."

Elena scoffed, "Better yet, never have I ever been fooled by my evil doppelgänger while she was pretending to be me."

"Low blow," Caroline grimaced as she downed her shot.

Damon drank his, "Tough but fair."

"Never have I ever kissed a Salvatore brother," Caroline smirked, Elena let out a quiet laugh and went to drink her shot, but before she could, Caroline finished her sentence, "today."

Elena looked at Caroline like she belonged in a padded room.

Caroline looked back at her innocently, "So I know Emma is gonna drink, but what about you?"

"What are you implying?" Elena asked her.

Damon pipped up, "Never have I ever lied about where Enzo is."

Emma noticed Damon's jaw tighten, she loosened her arms from around him slightly.

"Okay...what's going on?" Caroline asked.

"Nothing, obviously, because no one is drinking," Stefan pointed out.

"I mean, clearly you know the rules of the game, right, brother?" Damon tighten his own grip on Emma, "If you lied, you drink."
