Guys so this is my first Vampire Diaries fanfic and also my first slash fic so please be nice. :3
Very nervous to post this and it's not beta'd so sorry for the mistakes.
Decided to do one on Dalaric since you know... I actually don't know but they're hot so yea.
Anyways a bit of season 3 and 4 spoilers mostly the end of 3 and the beginning of 4 but I doubt anyone would have a problem with that but also season 6 spoilers too. So before hand warning.
I don't own anything! Just like to play wth the characters.
Changing a few things:
Elena and Damon are not together, never were together. She never was with Damon when he blew himself up to save everyone. Also he comes back along with everyone and Bonnie also comes back. So no one is trapped in hell. Damon and Alaric are best buddies but Damon has slight feelings towards Ric and Damon was hurt by Alaric when he was Evilaric and that's why Damon is a bit nervous and scared around him in the beginning. Alaric doesn't remember anymore but he gets terrible flashbacks later on. Also the spell the travellers cast was broken when the other side disappeared so they can enter Mystic Falls. So technically this story goes totally AU around season 4. Fast paced story so just just go along with it please.
Also Damon and Alaric are very OOC. Especially Damon poor guy he's been through a lot.
Okay here it goes. :)
~Unchain My Heart~
"Alright Damon c'mon, I don't know how much longer I can hold off." Bonnie yelled.
"Is everyone back to the other side?" He asked. "Anyone missing?"
Bonnie looked back and counted everyone.
"Yea Damon everyone's here." She replied.
"Even Ric?" He asked again.
Bonnie nodded and Damon moved towards her.
"What about you?" He asked.
"What about me?" She asked confused.
"Will you make it back? What will happen to you once the other side collapses?" He asked.
"I honestly don't know Damon but hopefully once the other side is gone I'll just be me again and not the anchor." She said.
Damon nodded and Bonnie reached out her hand and Damon grasped it tightly. He felt a sudden breeze and he opened his eyes to find everyone staring back at him. He sighed and gripped Bonnie's hand tighter, feeling that if he let go she would disappear into oblivion.
He turned around and faced her.
"Bonnie? You good?" He asked her.
She looked around and nodded.
"Can you still see the other side?"
She concentrated for a bit then nodded no.
"No I can't everything just seems quieter and just peaceful." She replied sighing.
Damon nodded and let her hand go.
He turned back to everyone and looked at them.
"Everyone good?" He asked.
They all nodded and gathered around him.
Stefan came up to him and hugged his brother tightly.
"Damon thank god you made it back, for a second we thought we had lost you, when you didn't come back for a while." Stefan said with teary eyes.
Damon sighed and hugged his brother back.
"I'm here Stef, I'm okay." He replied.
Stefan moved back and Damon's eyes turned towards Ric.
"Ric are you still..." Damon started.
"Evil? No. Vampire? I think so." He replied answering Damon's unasked question.
"Well let's find out." Elena replied as she picked up a rock and went over to him.
She pulled out his hand and cut open his hand with the rock and then watched it heal instantly.
"Well that answers that" Ric replied.
"But are you still and Original Vampire?" Caroline asked.
"I don't know, but I do feel pretty strong, but then again I haven't been a normal vampire to tell you the difference." He said.
"How about you try compelling one of us vampires." Caroline suggested.
"Alright who's on vervain?" He asked.
Caroline, Stefan, and Elena all put there hands up and everyone turned to face Damon who looked away.
"Damon! Why aren't you on vervain?!" Stefan yelled.
"I, well I just never took it after um uh Ric died." He mumbled not meeting eyes with anyone.
They gave him sympathetic looks and then turned to Ric who looked guilty.
"Okay guys how about we continue this else where?" Suggested Bonnie. "I think we could all use a break."
They nodded and headed home towards the boarding house.
Damon opened the door to their house and stepped in.
Caroline, Elena, and Bonnie had went towards to Mystic's hospital to check on Care's mom and Tyler and Matt along with Jeremy went over to the grill to see the extent of the damage and what they needed to get done. Enzo had disappeared off to god knows where. Which left Stefan, Damon and Alaric at the boarding house alone.
Stefan groaned and sat down. After a couple seconds he jumped back up and growled.
Damon turned to him "What's wrong?" he asked.
"I'm hungry." He said pouting. "I'm going to hunt, I'll probably go check on the girls after too so don't wait up." He replied as he walked towards the door. "You gonna be okay?"
"Yea I'll be fine." Damon nodded "Be careful!" He yelled and Stefan smiled at the concern his big brother was finally showing.
"Who knew it only took me dying for you to show some concern for me." He replied back sarcastically as he slipped out.
Damon smiled and nodded his head.
He went over to Ric who had made himself comfortable on the couch.
"I guess you'll be needing this." Damon said as he pulled out his spare daylight ring, which was almost identical to his except the the ring was black instead of blue, from his pocket and held it out. "It has my initials on it but I guess it'll do for now."
Ric nodded and Damon placed it on his open palm.
"Thanks Damon." Ric smiled.
Damon nodded.
"Drink?" He asked with a bit of uncertainty in his eyes.
Ric nodded and Damon turned around to pour them drinks. Suddenly he felt Ric right behind him standing very close. He froze. Hand still holding the bottle in mid air over the tumbler.
Ric stepped even closer and Damon felt his breath on his neck.
"Damon?" Ric breathed out. Damon's hand shook, so Ric reached out and clasped his hand over Damon's, steadying him. He took the bottle out of Damon's hand and placed it on the table in front. Damon turned, still trapped between the table and Ric, to face him.
He looked up and his eyes met Ric's. He inched back a bit until he hit the table ledge. Ric raised an eyebrow and moved closer to him again.
"Damon?" He tried again, moving closer and cupping his face with on hand.
Damon seemed to seek comfort and shrink away at the same time in that touch.
"Damon what's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing's wrong, why do you say that?" Damon replied in a hurry, which was a clear indicator something was wrong.
"Because I know you and you're talking too fast." He replied moving even closer so that they were almost touching.
Damon sighed and averted his eyes.
"Damon look at me." Ric whispered, although it was a whisper, it held command. Ric lifted his chin up by hooking his fingers under it.
Damon instantly looked up.
"What's wrong?" He asked again, this time his pupils dilated and so did Damon's.
"I'm scared" He finally whispered back.
"Of what?" Ric asked again, not aware he was compelling the vampire.
"You..." Damon said. Then his eyes widened and he pushed Ric back who was frozen after hearing Damon's confession.
He stumbled back and looked towards Damon, who looked angry.
"You compelled me? Ric what the hell?!" Damon yelled out. Well that answered the orginal question.
"Damon I didn't mean to. It was an accident. I didn't think I still could." Ric explained.
"Well clearly you can." He yelled.
"Why are you scared of me Damon?" He asked in a low voice, ignoring Damon.
His tone and voice made Damon even more nervous.
"I... You... You don't need to know Ric." Damon replied before he tried zooming out of the house, but Ric was faster and grabbed his arm before he could grab the handle of the door and pushed him against the wall so he couldn't escape. Damon looked up at the original vampire with wide eyes.
"Nuh uh Damon. You don't get to leave on me like that. I do need to know. I need to know why my best friend is suddenly so scared of me."
"You hurt me." He whispered in a small voice. Finally giving up, knowing Ric wouldn't stop till he knew.
"I?...You mean evil maniac version of me?" He asked. Damon nodded and looked to the ground.
"Hurt you in which way?" He asked moving closer. "Like torture you? Bleed you out? What?"
When Damon didn't reply he hooked his fingers under his chin and lifted it up. What he saw made his heart wrench in pain and fear. Damon's eyes were filled with unshed tears. If it had made him become like this, the Damon who joked and laughed it off, it must have been bad.
"Damon?! What did I do?" He asked urgently gripping Damon's arms tightly, shaking him slightly.
"Raped me."
Okay there I did it... Leave a review if you want this continued here. Originally posted on AO3 under the same name, people liked it so decided to post it here.
