Drowning in Sorrow

Chapter 9

I do not own TVD


Finally! I would have updated earlier but this chapter somehow got erased and I had to rewrite it. First of all, last time I asked you what you guys would like me to write. Any ideas or anything you would like to see and I got a lot of new ideas and requests which I love and would love to write later. Thank you for that and I will also be writing my own book soon which is not a fan fiction so yeh me! I am so excited about it and so proud of myself but of course none of this would be possible if you guys didn't send me love and review. It built up my confidence and made me a better writer. Thank you for all the love. I did not expect it at all! Also, I will be updating 'Drag Me From The Edge' soon. This week someday, I promise. Anyways, on with the story.


After returning from the hunt for Caroline with Stefan, Elijah was greeted with a now awake Katherine.

Elijah stared into Katherine's brown watched as she rose an eyebrow in annoyance, but he didn't know if that annoyance was towards him or herself.

Elijah stood up straight, arms crossed as he walked towards Katherine.

"Katerina…I would like to help you." Elijah started.

Katherine's brown eyes widened. She smiled sadly. "Even after everything I have done to you and your brother?" She whispered.

Elijah observed her, he studied as her face expressed every emotion he had never seen on Katerina Petrova. Surprise, adoration, respect, and even love.

Elijah bent down so he was meeting her eyes. "What happened between us should be left in the past. I will never forget what happened, but I am a man of morals, and I am not one to hold any grudges."

Katherine narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?"

Elijah swallowed. "I mean, let's try to put the past behind us." Elijah poured two drinks, handing one to Katherine.

Elijah smiled. "To new beginnings."

Elijah clinked his glass with Katherine's, who smirked happily.

"To new beginnings." She repeated, now mirroring the warm smile Elijah was wearing.

The moment was broken by Elijah's phone ringing. Elijah put his glass down and answered the phone, while looking at Katherine drink her drink slowly. Elijah's eyes widened as he listened to his brother. As if sensing his distress, Katherine stopped drinking and looked towards Elijah.

"What's going on?" She whispered.

Elijah shook his head and ended the call.

"You have missed a lot Katerina." Elijah explained as he took a seat in front of her.

She put her hand on Elijah's

"Tell me everything."


Bonnie sat at the edge of Damon's bed, her hands clutched tightly to her grimoire as she flipped through the pages. She looked at Damon who was breathing heavily.

"Are you okay?" She whispered.

Damon sighed and swallowed. "I-I don't know. One minute, I am alright. You know as alright as I can be after 6 months underwater, and the next I am screaming my heart out. Then when Klaus touches me, it burns me." Damon whispered shaking his head. "I don't know what's going on Bonnie."

Bonnie sighed and moved closer to Damon. "Can you describe how you feel?" Bonnie whispered caressing Damon's hand.

Klaus stood by the door, going unnoticed by the two.

"Well, my senses are dull, I can't hear your heartbeat like I usually do. I don't feel the urge for blood, and I have a major headache. Are vampires even allowed to have headaches?" Damon asked confused.

"Vampire's aren't, but humans are." Bonnie whispered in thought.

Damon's eyes widened. "A-am I human?" Damon whispered, a look of panic in his eyes.

Bonnie cupped Damon's face with her hands. "Hey! It's going to be okay. We will make it through this. You will make it through this." Bonnie whispered softly.

Klaus narrowed his eyes.

Bonnie kissed Damon on the head and murmured comforting things to him. Klaus decided to enter the room, clearing his throat to make his presence known. Damon and Bonnie both looked at him. Klaus handed the cup of coffee to Damon. Their fingers touched making Damon's fingers burn and he flinched. Klaus winced slightly and stood up straight.

"So Bonnie, have you found anything?" Klaus asked without taking his eyes off Damon. "I know that there is another witch involved. A very powerful one at that. The only way we can get rid of this spell is if she comes here and does it herself." Bonnie mumbled.

Klaus walked out of the room and Bonnie followed. "He's human." She stated, eyes wide with shock.

"I know. I heard his heartbeat." Klaus whispered.

"He won't be happy." Bonnie crossed her arms.

"I know. I know." Klaus shook his head and sighed.

"What's going on between you two?" Bonnie asked.

"That is none of your concern little witch. Now quit being useless and scurry along."

Bonnie glared at him, before picking up her grimoire and leaving.


In a few hours, everyone knew Damon's current situation. Everyone except Damon. Klaus sighed as he sat beside Damon in bed. Damon looked at him with big blue eyes and Klaus shook his head, sighing again.

"This is going to be harder than I thought." He mumbled before smiling at Damon.

"What happened Klaus?" Damon whispered in a weak voice.

"Damon, a witch cast a spell on you." Klaus sighed. "The spell…it turned you into a human." Klaus said softly. Damon looked at him sadly. "So I am human. Bonnie was right?" He whispered slightly shocked. Klaus nodded.

Damon closed his eyes. "Great. So not only am I vulnerable and weak, but I am worthless…and even weaker." Damon mumbled, burying his face into the pillow to get warmth and comfort as a terrible substitute for Klaus.

Klaus shook his head. "Hey! You are not worthless. Don't do that! Don't downgrade yourself."

Damon didn't seem convinced. "Stefan and Elena aren't here, are they?" Damon asked.

"No, they are not going to be here. Stefan is simply too ashamed and Elena is banned."

Damon furrowed his eyebrows. "Banned by who?" Klaus smiled smugly. "Why, me of course." He replied trying to make Damon feel better.

Damon rolled his eyes. "Of course." Damon smirked trying to seem normal, although Klaus was making him feel slightly better about the situation, even though he would never admit it out loud.

"Don't tell me you're jealous."

Klaus scoffed. "Jealous? I don't do jealous, especially not of Elena Gilbert." Klaus spat her name with disgust.

Damon snickered weakly. "Sure…" Damon chuckled but was interrupted by a sound coming from his stomach. He jumped back in surprise, eyes wide. Klaus hid a smile and decided not to interrupt.

"Klaus! My stomach is making weird sounds! My body is making weird sounds. What does that mean?"

Klaus couldn't help it. He laughed. Actual sounds of laughter erupted from him. Damon looked at him, eyes full of disbelief.

"Any other day, I would have been surprised that you have the ability to laugh, but right now I have a crisis going on." Damon ranted on about the sound from his stomach.

"Damon!" Klaus interrupted him.

Damon looked up at him. "What?" Klaus took a scooted closer to Damon and chuckled softly. "That sound from your stomach is your human body telling you, that you are hungry."

Damon blinked.

"Oh." Blood rushed to his cheeks as Damon started blushing. He slid down the bed and buried his head into the pillow.

"Why do I feel my face getting all weird, and why do I feel awkward?" Damon mumbled to himself. Klaus decided to stay quite so he won't embarrass Damon any more.

"Damon?" Klaus called and Damon poked his now slightly pink face up. "What?" He mumbled.

"Do you want food?" An adorable look of confusion and embarrassment crossed Damon's face and Klaus couldn't help but smile.

"Yes. I think." Damon mumbled playing with the thread on his bedsheet.

With a chuckle, Klaus sped to the kitchen, for the first time in centuries, making human food someone. But Damon wasn't just anyone.

Klaus shook his head and started cooking.

"What's happening to me."


Bonnie sat at home, Liz sitting on her couch, doing way better than before. A knock on the door interrupted the silence in the house. Bonnie grumbled before getting the door. She sighed when she saw Enzo and Stefan standing outside.

"What do you guys want?" She asked quietly. The two stepped in.

"Any word from Caroline?" Stefan asked worried.

"Nope. I can't track her. I tried everything." Bonnie replied as she massaged her eyes softly.

Stefan sighed. "Are you doing okay Bonnie?"

Bonnie shook her head. "I'm fine. The people we should be worried about is Damon and Caroline." Bonnie replied.

Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, even Enzo got a look of concern on his face. Bonnie sighed when she saw Enzo and Stefan take a seat on the couch.

She sat in front of them and Liz and started telling them about Damon.


Jeremy held his sister tightly as she sobbed into his shirt.

"It's okay. Stop crying." Jeremy cooed.

"I just can't believe it's over. Stefan just ended it with me." Elena sobbed.

Jeremy sighed. "You know what, maybe it's for the best. You never would have had a future with him anyway."

Elena sniffed. "You're right. But I loved him so much." Elena whispered.

"The why did you date his brother?" Jeremy asked shocking Elena. Elena shook her head, not knowing how to answer.

"Forget about me. How are you and Bonnie?"

Jeremy sighed. "Not good. She doesn't have time for me. I don't think she loves me."

Elena shook her head. "She's just very busy these days Jer." Elena whispered. "Give her time, and when she is ready talk it out."

Jeremy just nodded, but deep down he knew the truth. His relationship with Bonnie was over.


Klaus watched Damon as he stuffed the pancake in his mouth.

"This is really good." Damon mumbled with his mouth full. Klaus rolled his eyes, but smiled none the less.

"Thanks. I learned a thing or two in my thousand years of living."

Damon chuckled and shoved the plate forward when he was done eating. He rubbed his stomach and frowned.

"Now that I am…human." He spat the word with distaste. "I should really have a diet plan."

Klaus rolled his eyes again. "Let's just try to stay alive." Klaus said with a sarcastic smile.

Damon frowned. The playfulness gone. He watched as Klaus picked up the plate and left the room. Damon sunk into the bed, thinking about everything that has happened. His breathing became rough and uneven, eyes wide in panic, he whimpered softly and buried his head into the pillow, tears streamed down his face and he didn't try to stop them. He closed his eyes and let the tragic memories lull him to sleep, missing Klaus's touch, missing his brother, missing warmth. All he wanted to do was get back to normal, be happy and be the old Damon, but it was hard. Klaus kept telling him that everything will be okay, but he knew the truth. He would never be okay.

No one can save him. No one.


"Klaus?" A perky voice was head from the door.

Klaus turned around and smiled softly.

"Caroline."

Caroline smiled softly. "You look wrecked." She laughed.

"Yes. I have been with Damon since he got back. Where were you?"

Caroline shook her head. "Sorry I worried you guys like that. I had some stuff to take care of for Elena. Her and Stefan broke up and she is taking it really hard."

Klaus scoffed. "Good. The little doppelganger deserves what she gets."

Caroline didn't say anything. "You should go home. Change your clothes. Relax." Caroline told Klaus.

Klaus shook his head, about to speak but Caroline interrupted him.

"I'll take care of Damon. I might not be his biggest fan but I do care about him."

Klaus looked hesitant, as if he was having a debate in his head. After a while, he nodded. "Okay. Just, call me if you need anything."

Caroline nodded.

With one last glance at Damon's bedroom door, Klaus exited the boarding house, leaving behind a smirking Caroline. She called Silas and chuckled. "Told you this would be easy. Klaus has a soft spot for me." Silas chuckled. "Good. Now don't waste any time. Do what you need to."

Caroline hung up her phone and shoved it in her pocket. She sped up the stairs and into Damon's bedroom. She looked at Damon, who was sleeping peacefully.

She tilted her head.

"Hello Damon. This should be tons of fun." She whispered before taking a seat in the chair next to his bed.
