Chapter 1 – too many unanswered questions

Damon's POV –

I lay in my bed staring into Elena's eyes . Katherine was walking down the stairs . I felt bed for her . For once in my undead life , I felt bad for Katherine . Even though she was paying her debt to me , she still saved my life and I knew she had no place to go . I had six bedrooms in this mansion . Surely I could put up with her a while longer if it meant more people to help get Stefan back . " I'll be right back ." I got up and quickly ran down the stairs after her . " wait " I grabbed her wrist and turned her around ."what you want to be the one to slam the door in my face ?" she asked looking a little bit hurt . " No . You have no place to go . I have a room set up you can stay in ." I stated . She smirked like she already knew I would offer . I always tried to speak with little emotion in my voice when I was around Katherine . I unconditionally loved her and I always will . But she hurt me too many times to forget . Besides , she made the same choice Elena had made . Stefan , it would always be Stefan .

"well I am the one who witnessed Stefan with Klaus . I guess I have important information . I'll stay" Katherine finally spoke . She walked to her bedroom making sure she pulled her fingers along my chest when making her exit . I went to my room to find Elena on the chair in my room staring blankly into nothing . " I can't believe he just left . No goodbye ." Elena said . " Don't worry . I will do anything it takes to get him back . I am even working with Katherine to get him back" I said trying to comfort her . She smiled . I loved when she smiled . It sent electrical currents shivering down his spine . She was his drug . She was Elena . Just then I herd the door opening downstairs . We both went down to the door with Katherine following not too far behind us . It was probable Ric coming to check on how I was doing . Then I seen him . My little brother whom I loved and hated . My little brother who I was suppose to protect . Who had been taken by Klaus .

"what are you doing here Stefan ?" Elena scream as she jumped into his arms . Stefan just laughed . He was different then before . " Klaus offered me a deal" Stefan said proud of his negotiation skills . "what kind of a deal ?" I asked . " Well , I could either stay on my diet with him . Or I could live off human blood and come home ." He said sounding a little disappointed he didn't stay true to his ways . "of course he said blood bags could be used . He will check in one me once a month for a year . Then after that he will visit once a year for a decade ." he said . "but he can't stay in mystic falls he is a danger to it's residents so we must find another way to kill him ." Stefan spoke . of course he would say that . Him and his whole I-gotta-protect-the-town-from-evil thing he had going on . I sighed in relief of my brothers return and flopped down on the couch . Just then realized what tomorrow was . The worst day of the year . The day I hated most . The day I hated Stefan most . " dammit" I said accidently to loud . All eyes were on me . " I mean dammit it's good to have you home !" I tried to cover for myself unconvincingly and obvious .

Stefan laughed while shaking his head . "still the same old Damon" he chuckled . "of course I am . It's only been a day ." I said sarcasm in my voice . "lets get you to bed . It's getting late ." Stefan told Elena . I watched them walk upstairs . Katherine was god knows where , but then again did I really care ? I fell into a slumber while leaving on the Celtics and lakers game . I enjoyed basketball . I was at the first NBA game . It seemed to calm me .

The next day Stefan's POV

I felt strong but on edge . I now know why Damon drank this devil juice . "good morning" Elena was already dressed . " Damon made chocolate chip pancakes !" of course he did . He had them almost every morning . I put on my shirt and my grey sweat pants . As I started to leave I seen what day today was on the calendar . " Oh god !" I said not meaning for Elena to hear me . " Oh nothing just that today is the worst day of my life ! Damon hates me so much on this date every year . He even tried to kill me a few times …" my voice trailed off . "why" I knew she would ask me that . "I really don't know . He swore he would only tell me if I guessed right . But I am going to get it out of him this year !" I declared . I hoped Damon was in as good a mood possible . "Is it his birthday ? Did you forget ?" Elena asked . "know it isn't his birthday . Its something else ." I stated . I knew Damon's birthday . It wasn't for another month . We walked downstairs . Damon was lounging on the couch . Katherine in the chair beside him .

"Hello big brother" I said . I was trying to get him angry so I could bring up the subject of this date , and hopefully the answer I was looking for . Damon didn't give me a reply . He was getting me angry now . " Where'd you learn you manners from . father ?" I asked . Right away he stood up with one of the most furious faces I had ever seen on him . I was actually a bit terrified . Even Katherine flinched . "You would know wouldn't you , because your just … like … HIM !" Damon spit the words at me . They hurt like a million daggers stabbed into me . " Guys calm down, theres no need for this" Katherine stated . We ignored her and Elena . "why don't you just tell me after all these years why your so angry with the world and me on this date every year !" I asked . I waited so long to know this answer . Damon sighed trying to calm himself but I could tell he was still very angry .

"fine Stefan I'll spell it out for you though you don't deserve it . Today was the day you had the only person who truly loved me KILLED !" Damon stated . " Katherine didn't die on this date" I sated . I look at the smug look on her face . She was happy I remembered that date . " I'm not talking about Katherine !" Damon said again . Then who was he talking about ?
