"I'm not giving you this book to you until she's standing next to me."
A crucial thought would not have bloomed in the darkness of Damon's mind had these feelings been spoken or expressed in a different manner. The impulsive plan that took miliseconds to form was only born because of one seemingly insignificant mistake.
The feeble challenge in Stefan's voice was all Damon heard as soon as the words left his mouth. Damon's strong arm practically wrapped around Elena's neck was not good incentive for Stefan to choose his words carefully, and Damon was not willing to be as forgiving as usual to his younger brother. A red haze coated his vision, his fangs elongated; Damon was as inhuman as he had ever been in his existence. Elena's soft lips had unwillingly sucked his wrist, and even though that action was meant to be saved for a sweeter moment, Damon would take what he could get in his half crazed state of mind.
"The fact is, little brother," Damon sneered, "I no longer trust you will do that. So give it here."
"Damon," Stefan's cool bravado had vanished and his mind was falling into a panic. Damon wouldn't actually- would he? "Please." Stefan was beginning to understand how rash his actions really were. He didn't have to offer to help Damon, he shouldn't have lied, and he definetly shouldn't have allowed Elena to be involved at all. His current situation was one only to be blamed by himself; he should have seen this coming. Damon give Elena what he hoped she would never become infected with and Stefan knew all too well he was not strong enough to stop it. A vampiress would be born, and he would not be able to face her when awoke from her death slumber knowing everything was his fault. Damon would win.
Stefan didn't know if giving the book to Damon would even stop him anymore. Releasing Katherine... Stefan didn't even want to think about how much he actually wanted it. He was in love with Elena, but Katherine had a bit of his heart that Elena could never even dream of obtaining. Stefan's feelings were solid, and they were not as easy to change as Damon's. Nevertheless, the other starving vampires that would come out along with Katherine were not what Stefan needed.
Being in control again was good for Damon. He no longer needed to rely on other people to get anything done. Elena was in his arms and she wasn't getting out anytime soon. Stefan may be holding the book, but Damon would have no problem retrieving it from him. Everything was as it should be, Damon at the top with his little brother underneath him.
"So now you need my cooperation?" Damon mocked. "Well, after you just spent the past few days plotting against your poor, trusting older brother of course I'll go easy on you!"
Stefan's eyes rimmed with red and the veins around them became more noticeable when he realized what was about to happen. Because of who he was, because of his morals, values, and the way he chose to live, he would lose the one thing he finally had to keep existing for.
"Damon," Elena rasped, "please!"
"You'll love it. This is what you've been craving Elena. This is exactly what you need!" Damon felt she should have some sort of acceptance to what was about to happen. "Your so called 'goodness' is hardly skin deep, and all it'll take is a little incentive for the tiger inside you to come out." Damon looked deep into Elena's eyes, "You look out for yourself. You're a predator in human skin. You're already a vampire."
He bent his head slightly, taking in the smell of Elena's hair. It was a subtle move that he made seem as though he was looking for a nice spot on her neck, but it was his way of retaining her human scent in his mind. Damon knew he would not miss it. He would be glad that her mind would be in a powerful encasement soon enough instead of the temporary sack of blood it currently resided in. He felt strong; powerful with her feeble body pressed against his. She was struggling, but his vamped up mind could barely tell. The little blood of his that was in her system made him feel connected to her, more so than usual; he would not let her go.
After the second he took to think this, Damon Salvatore snapped Elena Gilbert's neck and flew off into the night with her dead body.
Is this okay ?I'm gonna continue and see how it goes; if I think up some oneshots, they'll be in The Decision Making .
