Chapter 1
Why does a human being feel? We need to feel. If we don't feel how can we have compassion? How can we love and be loved in return? How can we feel the warmth from those who matter to us?
We need to feel in order to be alive. One can be human and just exist. But to truly exist and be alive, we need to feel. It's what makes us human. Don't you agree?
These were the thoughts running through Damon Salvatore's mind. He's a vampire, not human. So why does he have to feel. He doesn't want to feel. The pain is too unbearable for him at times. He doesn't know what to do in order to keep him together. He loves her so much, that it hurts. He has loved before; he has even been obsessed with a love before. But the love he feels for Elaina Gilbert, is like love he has never known before.
He has to sit back and watch her be with none other than his brother Stephan. It hurts so bad to see them together. But he grinds his teeth and bears it.
What's worse is that she expects him to be this good guy, which he feels he isn't. He feels because of his nature, because he is a vampire he is a monster. He can't be good. He wants to be but he`s afraid. And talking about being human. He wishes with all his heart that he could be one. He misses being human so badly, but keeps it a secret. He pretends he doesn't care. And secretly hates Stephen for turning him. Because doesn't want to feel this pain!
"DAMON! Are you up there?" Damon was distracted out of his thoughts when he heard Stefan`s voice. "I'm coming," replied Damon giving a frustrated sigh. Will I ever have some peace and quiet to myself? .guess not, thought Damon as he made his way done the steps.
Putting his usual cocky smile on face asked, "what can I do for you today little brother?"
"We need to talk," said Stefan worriedly, and turned too walked in the den where it would be easier and more comfortable to talk. Now that what he has to discuss is anything easy or comforting. He was worried sick. The thought of anything happening to Elaina was tearing him apart.
"About what? What's got you in frenzy this time of the morning? Aren't you supposed to be school?" replied Damon as he entered the den, lifting one eyebrow, wondering what could possibly be bothering him aside from Klaus. He was worried about The Original too. And they were running out of time.
"Klaus." Was all that came out of Stefan's mouth? Rolling his eyes, Damon answered," What about Klaus? Have you heard anything new?" although he seemed nonchalant, he was anything but, and Stefan knew this, and also hated that his brother always put up a front. But now was not the time to get into it.
"Actually Bonnie said that she might know of a way, but it's extremely dangerous. Not only that but we might need Katherine's help. I don't know the details yet...She wants to confirm everything and make sure she's right first before she tells me," said Stefan
Damon's mind went into overdrive. Could they really stop Klaus? It looks like we may have a chance at Klaus and he was going to find out how right now. He got up without a word and turned to leave. Before Stefan could say anything, Damon was gone in a blur. He knew exactly where he was going. He was going to see Bonny and find out for himself what she really knows and is not telling. He knows she's hiding something and he is going to find out just what that is.
