School was over and Elena was walking outside 由 herself. Caroline and Matt were talking, while Tyler was watching them from afar. As soon as Elena was out of school area someone grabbed her arm and pulled her along.
“Hey!” she exclaimed when she saw Derek. “What are 你 doing?”
“I need to 显示 你 something” Derek 说 excited. Without awaiting Elena’s approval he dragged her along until they were standing in front of an old building.
“What is this?” Elena asked. “Did Damon put 你 up to this?”
Derek shook his head. “He doesn’t know” He opened the door carefully and snuck inside. Without looking at her, he waved and Elena followed him.
Hiding behind a trestle they watched several people in sport outfits. They were sweating and doing something that looked like training.
“What are they doing?” Elena asked.
“They’re training. They have to be strong enough when they’re going to take all 邪恶力量 beings down” Derek explained.
“Wow, this Veronica chick is taking this really serious, isn’t she” Elena said, with a whiff of admiration. “How did she convince these people to 加入 her?”
“All these people 迷失 someone dear to them, because of a vampire 或者 a werewolf” Derek said.
Elena nodded in understanding and looked back at the mini-army. They were making signs with their hands. “Are they using mimicry now?” she asked surprised.
“Yep” Derek said. “So we won’t hear what they’re saying”
“That’s brilliant” Elena said.
“And highly inconvenient” Derek added.
