Heaven Knows

037: The Dinner Party

Blake wake up her cellphone ringing and she spots Damon sitting in her window seat, with baby John. She yawns before grabbing her phone and seeing Jenna's pretty, and friendly face.

"Jenna?" Blake mumbles into the phone, her voice makes Damon look up.

"Hey! I need a major favor," Jenna says. "I was supposed give mr. Smith a tour of historical sites today but I have a doctors appointment in another town. Could you take over?"

A smile forms on Blake's face. "I'm will take over the tour for you."

"Thank you so much, Blake!" Jenna says and she hangs up.

"I need a shower," Blake mutters. "Is Monique here?"

"I'll go bring John to her," Damon says and he leaves the room.

Blake goes to her bathroom and takes a short, but hot shower. She dresses in black lace panties and a simple, pale pink push up bra. Her outfit of choice is some dark green leggings, a black tank top, a leather jacket, and some biker boots. The vampire leaves her hair down but she runs a brush through it before she heads down to the basement for a blood bag since John's with Monique now.

"Well,this is a lovely surprise," Elijah says as Blake shows up to their first spot of the tour. "What happened to the lovely miss Sommers?"

"Doctor's appointment," Blake replies. "You're stuck with me today."

Elijah grins as the two walk. "I have not one complaint of the company."

"The old Fell property starts just beyond that fence," Blake points out as the pair meet a white fence.

"Ah, the Fells," Elijah muses. "One of the founding families."

"Why do you say it like that?" Blake asks curiously, she is so curious about the things Elijah must know.

"This area was actually settled a full two centuries earlier," Elijah explains to the vampire. "It was a migration of townsfolk. It was Salem, to be precise. Witches."

"I remember the place, Salem," Blake says.

"I guessed," Elijah replies. "But that means that the ever-lauded founding families... didn't actually know anything."

"I bet it was the men who made a big deal out of being founders in 1860," Blake chirps as they walk. "Men are very territorial."

Elijah smiles. "Yes, they are."

"Where to next?" Blake asks as she looks up at Elijah as they stop.

Elijah glances down at Blake. "I'm pretty curious about the freed slave property owners. Some say, you know, the descendants of the slaves were the true keepers of American history."

"Yeah, I'll show you," Blake says as she pulls out a paper. "Unlike Jenna, I came prepared."

"Well, you do know what I am," Elijah says as the continue walking.

"So, Elijah. How about some lunch?" Blake asls.

Elijah stops and he moves to the front of Blake. "Lunch... It sounds nice with you."
