Damon went straight to Alaric, making him jump as he said.
'I need your help.'
Alaric gasped, then said. 'Damon-?' But he had already said. 'Does Isobel have any notes on half vampires?' Alaric stared, then sighed. 'Yes... she did.' Damons eyes widened. 'Well give them already!' Alaric frowned, then said. 'Is this about Diana-?'
He scowled sarcastically.
'No (!)'
Diana was huddled under the duvet now with Jeremy, Elena standing at the entrance, watching in silence- she'd been shocked to find her brother and Diana like... together.
But she didn't speak against it- they were both lost souls that deserved each other.
Diana sighed, then said. 'I'm so... hungry.'
Elena raised an eyebrow- exactly which did she mean-?
Diana chuckled, then looked up, saying. 'Not that kind of hungry. Not yet anyway. It'd take til the end of this week for me to starve.' Elena chuckled. 'Sorry.' Diana sighed. 'Doesn't matter.' Now Elena frowned. 'Are you ok?' Diana laughed bitterly.
'Hmm... apart from being trapped like a freaking rat, yep.'
Damon stared at the notes, not really seeing them.
There was no way out... no witch powerful or close enough to lift the spell...
She was-
'Damon, here-'
His head snapped up and he snatched the sheet of Alaric, staring at it with blank eyes.
Was that the only way-?
It sounded so... easy it was suspicious.
He was gone before Alaric could speak.
Macy was sat with her daughter now, saying she'd stay the night, but Diana had told her to go home already- she was fine.
Then they all heard the footsteps as Damon returned, standing before them all in silence.
'Damon-?' Macy said quietly, getting up and walking over to him, but he just walked past and stood before the entrance and said to Diana quietly.
'There's a way to get you out.'
Diana raised an eyebrow. 'Ok... so get me out-?'
Damon shook his head in silence, then said equally quiet. 'You need to revert to human.' Diana shook her head in confusion. 'What-? How-?' He sighed. 'You... practically starve yourself of blood, the human side gets left and you can just about get out while the barrier is lowered.'
Diana now said quietly. 'I'm guessing that'll hurt-?' Damon groaned. 'You're half vampire... I- I don't know...' Macy sighed now, then said. 'I stay-'
'No you won't.'
Macy scowled at her daughter. 'I'm not leaving you here!' Diana chuckled. 'I'm not going anywhere... go get some sleep.' Macy had a tear in her eye now. 'But...'
'I'll stay with her. Stefan... take her back with you.'
Everyone was silent as Damon volunteered. Macy stared for a moment, then sighed in defeat, hugging her daughter and leaving with Stefan, Elena and Jeremy.
Damon sighed, sitting down as close he could, putting his head against the cold stone wall. 'Well... awkward much?'
Diana chuckled, then said. 'Hey- you can leave. I don't mind.'
Damon scowled. 'Sure (!) I'll leave my daughter here alone.'
Diana was silent, then said quietly. 'Look who's feeling.' Damon laughed darkly. 'You really think I'm that heartless... don't you?' Diana sighed. 'Well you don't come off as the perfect father.'
'Sorry.'
'Excuse me-?'
Damon sighed. 'I'm... sorry.' Diana was taken aback- the last thing she'd been expecting was an apology.
'Damon... dad... I wasn't expecting you to-'
'Diana... I know I'm not perfect ok? I'm damn flawed...'
Diana sighed. 'Dad... I know how... weird this has been. You're like, how old-?'
'About 170.'
'Exactly.'
Damon sighed. 'I'm just... getting tired of it all.' He chuckled. 'Everything I touch turns to dust.' Diana was silent, then said quietly. 'Could you do me a favor?'
He frowned. 'Like what?' Diana sighed. 'Look after mom... she's damn nearly having a nervous breakdown. And Blairs on the run...' she sighed again. 'Look after mom tonight ok? Please...'
Damon stared, then got up, staring at his trapped daughter, then said quietly. 'Will you be ok here?' Diana laughed. 'Yes. Now piss off.' Damon chuckled, then vanished.
Diana sighed, putting the duvet around her more tightly, staring at the lamp she had, then closed her eyes.
This was going to be... hell.
Macy was sat on the sofa, no one else in, staring into the heart of the fire, making her fire colored hair burn brighter. Then she sighed.
'Hello Damon.'
He sighed. 'Hi.'
Macy turned her head now to see him staring at the fire too. 'How's Dee?' She now asked quietly. He sighed again. 'She's just peachy (!)'
She shook her head now, tears in her eyes. 'Please say she can get out of there...' Damon sighed and put an arm around her shoulder, pulling her to him, rubbing her back.
'Mace... I will get her out. I promise.'
Macy looked at him for a few moments, then put an arm around him, kissing him for a moment, then putting her forehead against his, saying. 'I love you Damon.'
He was silent at that- he was dying to say he loved her too... but he knew how it worked- everyone he fell for died...
Macy was silent, then closed her eyes, putting her head on his shoulder. Damon sighed, getting up and picking her up into his arms, walking up the stairs and putting her on his bed, pulling the covers over Macy and standing at the foot of the bed and sighed.
He loved her, truly he did... but he had been running so long from all this... love, trust... family.
Damon sighed, then got in next to her, pulling her warm body close and closing his eyes.
Maybe this once... he could have that thing called love and family-?
Little moment for Macy and Damon(: damon needs more love- the Rose thing was so CRUEL having to kill her like that! So Diana can get out if she starves herself of blood-? Why does this feel kinda ominous? Next up soon! X Nic
