Chapter Ten: The Unexpected Visitor

After Damon had calmed down, he walked back to the living room where he found his niece sleeping and Elena covering up in a blanket. He could hear her upstairs. She was confused, angry, sad and lost. How could she be turned when she barely had a chance to live? She was only sixteen, a junior in high school who loved to help anyone she could possibly help, and now she was this…[i[Monster[/i]. he looked at Elena who had walked over to him. "How are you?" he asked her, taking her hands in his and holding them close to his chest like the night when he killed Jeremy. He looked in her rich open sea of chocolate brown irises.

Elena looked up at him. "Me? Your niece just found out she was becoming a vampire and your asking me how I feel?" she said, hinting that she knew he heard them talking. "I'm fine. How are you?" Stefan had betrayed all of them that day by even considering assisting Klaus in talking her hostage from the Grille. If he had not have taken her away from there, should would have been alive. If he hadn't force fed her his blood, she would have been truly dead. She looked in his electric blue eyes for any type of answer.

"Ask me that when this is over with." He said. He slowly let go of her. He walked to the couch and picked up the girl. He went to the door leading to the basement congaing cells and hiding many bags of blood. He walked down the stairs and into one of the rooms. He placed her down and turned around. By the time she woke up, he had locked the door. "Here," He held out a bag of blood, "Drink it."

Elizabeth didn't know what to think when she woke up in the cell under her home after her tiny bit of rest. But when Damon held out the package of the red substance, she understood it was to help her learn control. They stood up and walked over to the door. "Thank you." She said not meeting his eyes. She took the bag and retreated to the farthest corner of the room. She looked at it few a few moments before she closed her eyes, opening the tube and placed it in her mouth like a straw. She sucked some through it. After swallowing her first mouthful, she looked at the bag, and ripped a hole in it, draining it of its contents quickly.

Damon watched as the eyes of the girl he grew to love as a daughter become the ones that will haunt him for a few years. Her eyes went from blue to reddish-black. Her veins began to show on her face when he saw her fangs. He threw in one more and watched her crawl for it. She ripped in to the bag like the other. When she had finished, her mouth stained red. "It will be ok. I promise." He whispered soothingly, wanting nothing more than to go in there and hug her when she saw what she did. He left the basement, filling in to the living room again. He was about to say something to Elena when he heard a knock on the door. He turned around and headed for the walnut period door. He opened it up. "Leave." He said not looking at the visitor.

"Now why would I do that when I came to see family?" asked a voice that sounded so sweet and innocent, but at the same time full of hatred and disgust. The girl flipped her hair over her shoulder. "I know it's been about 60 years since we have seen each other, but you can't tell me that my own big brother had forgotten his dear sister's face,"

"Emily." He looked up at the girl who was his blood sister. It had been some time since they had their last conversation. "What do you want?" he asked in a disgusted and confused manor.

"To remind you that anyone could get in your house, see?" she said stepping in. "You haven't updated the deed since the doppelganger sacrifice. So you need to fix that for your girlfriends' safety." She said turning around, interjecting him due to his mouth starting to open. "Don't worry; I am here to see if you needed help with your niece. Control over thirst, mind compulsion ceria."

Damon shook his head. "No I don't need help. Now before Elena freaks out because you two look alike, I would ask you to leave." He said holding the door wide open.

Emily sighed. "Pleasure doing business with you, Mister Salvatore." She said in her heavy southern belle accent. She left through the door at her vampire speed.

"Damon? Who was that?" Elena asked. She walked into the hallway as soon as the door closed. He turned around to her.

"Nobody. Now come on. You need some sleep. "He draped his arm over her shoulder as they began to walk. He could hear his niece's quiet sob as she tried to sleep. Everyone needed sleep that was true. Elena took off her pants and top shirt, getting into his bed in her tank top and pink boy-shorts. He took off all of his clothing but the boxers he wore, getting under the covers with her. She scotted right up next to him, her back into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her. Her hands finding his and lacing her fingers in with his. "Dont worry, Elena. Everything will be fine soon." he had to call Bonnie and ask her to bless a piece of jewelery for his niece.

"I know she will be fine." she said, her face finding cmofort in the pillow as the top of her head had been tucked under his chin. "I know she will be fine, because she has you to help her. Nobody else can help her but you. Thats because she trusts you. Your the person she turns to when she is confused. Your the person who has been there for her when nobody else was. You her father figure, Damon. I know how you feel about her because I could see the tears in your eyes earlier. You feel as if she was your daughter, dont you?" she asked him, her eyes closing.

Damon pressed his lips together hearing Elena's statements. her truth filled statements. "Yes, its all true Elena. And you have seen that in me before anybody else could see that, and I love that about you." he cooed in her ear. "Lets talk about this tomorrow. We need our slepp if my predictions are true." He could only think of what state of mind his niece would be in in the morning. In a couple of hours, his questions would be answered. but for now, he fell asleep, holding the woman he loved in his arms loving how she loved him back. She was the only one that understood him, and that would be a first. there the two feel asleep in dreams of their future.
