Baby S
Chapter Ten
"You know what I don't understand though," Stefan said as he and Damon crossed the street to head towards the Grille. Damon merely sighed and sent his brother a look that urged him to go on. "What I don't get is how exactly does Benjamin plan on making everyone that's in this part of town right now go home." Damon looked off to the side and saw three teenage girls giggling as they walked down the street. "Do you have an idea?"
"None, I don't have the slightly clue on how Benjamin plans to do all that." Damon said with a sigh as they came to the front door of the grill reaching out he pulled open the door and stepped inside with his brother right on his heels. The grille wasn't as crowded as he it would normally be but he guessed the late afternoon rush hadn't started yet. The brothers were immediately spotted by Bonnie and Elena who got up from the table they had been currently sitting at and rushed over to them.
"Is everything alright? Where's my father?" Bonnie rushed out firing out question after question, Damon looked over her shoulder and saw that her Coven members and Alexis had wandered over to them.
"Benjamin's fine, he said he needed to go and take care of a few more things." Damon answered as he tried to send her a reassuring smile. Alexis sighed at his answer and stepped back as one of the waiter's walked by.
"I hope, his few more things include taking care of these people. If not, Lucius will use them as shields to get whatever he wants." Damon's eyes narrowed at her sentence before nodding his head. In the past when he knew the mind-wiped Alexis he didn't agree to much of anything she said but now that she was okay he found himself agreeing with her at times.
"I'm sure that's what he's doing." he said with a small nod in her direction. "How about we head back to the booth you guys were in and wait on Benjamin to get here." he said as he lowered his hand and placed it on the small on Bonnie's back. Alexis just nodded and turned and started walking back towards the booth. As she made her way across the grille, a young waitress stopped in front of her.
"Is this your whole party ma'am?" she asked as she looked over Alexis' shoulder, Damon could already see the girl's eyes lighting up from imagining just how big her tip was going to end up being. Alexis sighed and nodded her head. They had taken a seat in the girl's section and she had not stopped pestering them yet.
"Um yes this is our entire group-although we are waiting on one more." The girl nodded and tucked the tray she was carrying on her hip.
"Well how about ya'll order yourselves some drinks." Damon suppressed the urge to groan aloud and looked over at Bonnie who at the moment looked equally annoyed. Alexis, however just sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Lexis, we really don't have-." Vincent began but was cut off by a wave of Alexis' hand. The older woman turned and looked the waitress.
"Can you take them here or will you be coming over to our table?"Alexis asked talking to the girl as if she weren't all the way there. Damon coughed and covered his mouth with his hand as a small smile went across his face there was so much of Bonnie in that tone. The waitress blinked and then lifted her tray up.
"I can take it right here so by the time you sit down it'll be halfway done."
"Fine I'll have a ice tea." Alexis said and then slapped her hand on Nikolas' shoulder signaling him to continue with the order.
"Okay an ice-." Damon had to admit that what happened next caught him completely off guard and he wasn't usually surprised especially after living as long as he had. But as he watched the girl's eyes roll into the back of her head just before she fall back towards the hardwood floors. Looking around, he could see all the other patrons in the restaurant doing the exact same time. Some collapsed in their booths their faces slamming into their meals while others walking around fell to the floor just like the annoying waitress had done.
"What da hell?" Vincent said as he stepped aside to miss the broken shards of glass that the busboy had dropped when he collapsed.
"Do you think it's Lucius?" Elena asked as she clung to Stefan's side as her eyes frantically looked around the entire bar. Bonnie stood by Damon looking over the scene, before shaking her head.
"I don't think-."
"Watch out!" Nikolas cried as he reached out and pulled them all back with just a bit of magic as a car came crashing through the window not stopping until the tables and chairs slowed it down. Luckily none of the unconscious humans had been killed. Damon cautiously walked towards the car and peered inside.
"No one's inside." he said as he looked back at Bonnie and then over at Alexis. "What the hell is going on and where's Benjamin?" he bellowed as he stepped back from the car. If it was Lucius, the man would have to rip out his heart before he let him take Bonnie away again.
"I don't know," Alexis exclaimed as she stepped over to waitress that had been a pain in her side moments earlier. Kneeling down, she held a hand over the woman's face and sighed with relief. "They're all alive though so maybe it's not Lucius."
"Are you sure about that," Stefan asked as pointed outside. Everyone turned and peered out of the now wide open hole the car had created moments earlier with it's crash. Outside plenty of unconscious humans laid on the ground. Smoking cars were literally the streets after having hit street poles and other objects. It was at that moment they saw it, saw one of the people lying on the ground disappear into thin air.
"Oh my God!" Elena exclaimed as she watched person by person disappear in rapid session, it was almost as if, if she blinked ten people would be gone. They all watched as the disappearing act made it way into the Grille. Taking the waitress away and then moving on to the busboy and then to the patrons. Then it finally made it's way back outside and headed on down the street. Damon knew that they shouldn't stay there, especially if it was Lucius. They needed to make their way to the area that Benjamin had told him and Stefan would be the area where the fight would take place. Latching onto Bonnie's hand he dragged her out of the Grille with the rest of the gang following behind him. As they stepped out onto the street they could see more people disappearing right off the ground.
"Damon where are you taking us?" Bonnie said as she allowing him to pull her across the street.
"We're going to the place where you father said we'd fight-this has Lucius written all over-."
"Boy, this isn't Lucius' doing," they all paused as they saw Benjamin standing in front of them. Bonnie immediately went to her father and hugged him tightly. He returned the hug and looked over her head at Damon.
"I thought I told you I'd meet you at the Grille."
"I'm sorry but haven't you noticed what's been happening around you." Damon snapped out, Benjamin sighed and released his daughter.
"I have noticed, if I had known you'd get scared I would have told you about it. Although I hadn't been sure I would do this but after a while it seemed like the the only way to clear this entire area and get the people to safety." Damon's mouth dropped open in shock as he looked over at Benjamin who stood still under his gaze.
"You did this Benjamin."
"No, Azrael did." he stated with a smirk, while Damon just rolled his eyes at the man while shaking his head.
"Funny Fil, now what did you do with the people."
"Knocked the out and transported them to their home. In the morning, no matter what happens here they all should think a tornado hit." Benjamin waited for more questions but when none came he turned on his heel and started walking back towards the center of town where his pentagram rested. Damon quickly jogged up to him.
"You're using to much power and we haven't even fought the guy yet." he whispered harshly, Benjamin sighed and shook his head.
"It couldn't be avoided. I need a quick clean up and that was what I did." Damon clenched his fist as he listened to Benjamin.
"You do know that you're fighting Lucius right and that I refuse to allow Bonnie to lose anyone else." Benjamin looked over at him but kept walking. "You do know that right." Damon stated again as he looked at the man beside him.
"Yes I know that which is why I did my pentagram earlier," he stopped and leaned in towards Damon's ear. "Now stop worrying about me. Look out for yourself, your brother and Bonnie that's all I ask." Stepping away from him, he looked back at the rest of the group. "Lucius is on his way, he'll be here any moment now so we need to get ready." Everyone nodded their heads and Benjamin looked up towards the rooftops and they all saw several of the police department members up there. "Ladies I need you all to be on the rooftops to protect Sheriff Forbes and her men from attacks made my Lucius' men."
"Dad I'm staying down here with you. I'm fighting with you." Bonnie quickly replied as she stepped forward, her green eyes locked on her father's. Benjamin's eyes soften at Bonnie's words even as he shook his head.
"No baby girl, no you aren't. You're going up there with everyone else. It's not like you can't fight up there."
"But-." Benjamin held up his hand, silencing his daughter immediately, shaking his head he looked down at her and sighed.
"Bonnie-babygirl, listen to me. You're pregnant, that fact alone should make you want to listen to me and stay out of this fight. Mainly because if you're down here fighting it's gonna distract not only me but Damon, Stefan and your two Coven members over here," he paused then and waited for the boys to nod their heads. "So Bonnie please give us peace of mind during this fight and go up there with your mother and the other ladies. Besides it's not like you can't fight up there, in fact with your little lightening move I'm sure you're be able to deal out some damage and protective." Bonnie seemed to think over his suggestion before nodding her head.
"Fine I'll go up there but promise me you'll be careful." Benjamin smiled and placed his hands on Bonnie's small shoulders.
"Of course baby girl."
"Damon?" Bonnie asked as she turned to look at her boyfriend and lover, raising an eyebrow he pointed towards his chest.
"Oh you're talking to me?" When all he received in response was a tickle in his forehead, he sighed and walked over to her. "Now you haven't done that in ages and I don't really think now is the time for our one of a kind foreplay."
"Damon." Benjamin called out obviously not liking the statement that had been made, chuckling Damon turned and looked back at Benjamin.
"Sorry Fil." Benjamin merely rolled his eyes at the nickname and Damon could only smile before returning his attention back to Bonnie who was looking up at him. "So where were you? Oh yeah, Bonnie you really don't have to worry about me. I'll be safe. . .I promise."
"You better be." she murmured softly as she looked up at him. Damon smiled at that and leaned down and kissed her. Pulling back, he winked at her and stepped back with a large smile on his face. Looking around he could see everyone talking to their significant others even Benjamin was having a chat with Alexis.
"I'll be fine." he said smoothly as he looked at her and stepped back just as Benjamin moved back from his wife. Clasping his hands together, Benjamin waited till everyone was done talking to their significant others.
"Is everyone ready now?" he asked, when everyone just nodded their heads, he spoke a few latin words and the girls disappeared. Damon looked up at one of the buildings and saw them up there not to Sheriff Forbes who looked highly surprise by their sudden appearance. Benjamin sighed then and took off his suit jacket, walking over to a park bench he draped it over the back and turned back around to see Damon, Stefan, Nikolas and Vincent watching him. "Are you boys ready?" he asked calmly was he made his way over to them. "Cause things are about to get serious."
"How do you know?" Stefan asked, as he walked over to Benjamin.
"I've been putting up a lot of spells, when I brought everyone back here I put up one that would at least allow me to know when another supernatural entity came to town. I figured only one would be coming here in a matter of days and since he's already been around Bonnie. I'm sure he'll track right here." Damon looked over at Benjamin, who seemed to be bouncing on the souls of his feet. Shaking his head, he realized the man loved a good fight and this probably was going to rank in the top ten or five once all of this was over.
It didn't take long before they saw movement across the way and when Benjamin stiffen by his side Damon knew that it was Lucius. The man seemed to have a small army with him of about thirty and he didn't seem to have a care in the world. "Look at you Mr. Bennett, I never thought I'd have a welcoming party." Lucius called out, a smirk playing across his lips as he stopped just at the edge of the square. Damon narrowed his eyes at the man and resisted the urge to look back at Bonnie to see if she were okay.
"This ends now Lucius."
"Who in the hell are you to tell me what ends, I've been around since the beginning of fucking time. I was one of the first ones blessed by Hecate and-."
"Hecate no longer favors you." Benjamin yelled out as he cut off Lucius' self-important rant. "She is the reason that Azraels like me are made now. To kill what you foolishly brought into existent and to eventually kill you."
"Are you sure, you don't want to kill me because of your daughter," Lucius called out smoothly causing Damon to grit his teeth as he heard the chuckle in the other man's voice. "I've already had one taste and her blood was absolutely delightful." Damon stepped forward then unable to control himself, Benjamin's arm shot out immediately and slammed into his chest pushing him back while sending him a subtle shake of the head but it was already to late, Lucius had seen Damon's reaction.
"Oh this must be the vampire that had my witch." Lucius said as he stepped forward his cold eyes locked on Damon who merely sneered at his words and shook his head.
"She's my witch, asshole. By the time we're done here you'll know that too." Lucius merely cracked a small smile at that and nodded his head.
"Fine when we're done here we'll see who was right and who was wrong." As Lucius said that he knelt down and placed his hand on the ground. Benjamin barely had time to warn everyone before the ground shook and exploded upward. The concrete shifted and the steel lines that rested inside the concrete jumped out of the ground like deadly spikes. One caught Vincent right through his leg as he tried to get out of the way. Moving quickly, Damon made his way over to him and pulled him up while ignoring the shout of pain that Vincent placed directly in his ear.
"Get yourself together alright." Damon shouted out over the noise as he tried to pull Vincent away from some of the other spikes that were suddenly sprouting up. The dust and dirt that was currently in the air made it hard to see the various spikes that were coming up in all directions. Looking over towards Benjamin his mouth dropped open in shock. "Ben look out!" he shouted as he saw what appeared to be Lucius' looming shadow standing over Bonnie's father. The moment he yelled out his warning Lucius reared back and slapped Benjamin who had been helping Stefan. At Lucius' hit, Benjamin flew back and slammed into the building. Lucius then looked down at Stefan and sent the younger Salvatore a chilling smile. Not thinking twice, Damon shoved Vincent towards his brother and then rushed across over to his brother. Grabbing hold of him, he pulled Stefan out of the way just Lucius swung out with a blow that he was sure would have removed Stefan's heart. "You alright." he asked as he looked down at his brother who just nodded his head. Damon didn't spare Benjamin a glance, he knew the older man was okay. He was probably pissed but for the most part he was okay.
"I'm impressed." Lucius muttered calmly as he looked down at his hand that had only be able to grab and rip off a bit of Damon's black shirt. "Very impressed, I've never seen someone that wasn't like me move that quickly." Tossing the torn cloth to the side, he looked back at his men who had remained still, silently awaiting his orders. "Gentlemen let's end this before it becomes to tiresome." With that said, his men surged forward.
"Oh my God, they're gonna be slaughtered." Sheriff Forbes murmured from her position on top of the roof with the rest of her men. Alexis, Bonnie and Elena glared at the woman before Alexis finally spoke up.
"They won't be slaughtered if you and your men cover for them." Sheriff Forbes nervously licked her lips. Vampires were one thing but these creatures were absolutely something different, earlier she thought Benjamin had lied when he told her that they were a hybrid of vampire and witches but now, seeing them all in action she believed him. She watched as the large group converged on their position.
"Sheriff Forbes if you don't want the inhabits of this town slaughtered for an after battle snack I suggest you and your men get the hell over your shock and fire." Alexis snapped out again as she smacked the woman on the shoulder. The hit seemed to bring Sheriff Forbes back to where ever she had just been. Nodding her head, she looked over at all her men who wore similar faces full of nothing but shock.
"Aim for the head or the heart on everyone that came with that bastard." She shouted out as she lowered her guy and aimed it at one of the creatures that had knocked back Stefan and was moving in for the kill. Taking a deep breath, she captured him in her sights and fired. The bullet hit its mark and the victim fell to the ground dead. Stefan scrambled up to his feet sent a look up at the building and then jumped back into the fight. Seeing their boss firing the first shot pulled the men out of their shock and they too lowered their weapons and opened fire.
Alexis looked over at Jasmine and Giselle who for the most part had been quiet, "I need you two to start up a protective barrier for these people, once Lucius and his people realize their being fired at they're gonna retaliate." Jasmine and Giselle nodded their heads and quickly moved off to the side away from the edge of the building. Kneeling down they grabbed hold of one another's hands and started chanting. Bonnie watched them for a quick second before looking over at her mother.
"We have to do something too."
"I'm not sure how the magic is gonna to affect the baby, Bonnie." Alexis said as she looked at her daughter and then down at her stomach.
"Dad, said I could fight up here and Hecate told me that he would need me to win this fight so I think for the most part the baby and I will be fine." Alexis reached out and pulled her and Elena down just as a large burst of flame shot up the side of the building. Luckily for everyone the shield that Giselle and Jasmine placed up moments before held.
"Are you okay?" Alexis asked as she looked over at Bonnie who was being looked over by Elena.
"I'm fine mom."
"Sorry about that, that attack caught me by surprise." she said. Bonnie just nodded her head but her mind was on how she could help out her Dad, Damon, Stefan, Nikolas and Vincent. As she thought over her options, she thought about when she had helped Jaxon take out Marcel and his men. Reaching out, she grabbed hold of her mother's hand and gave it a squeeze. "What is it, Bonnie?" Alexis questioned thinking that something was wrong with the baby. With all the stress and the current war going on around them. Alexis had to admit that she was worried about her grandchild and her daughter making it through this unharmed.
"Nothing's wrong Mom," Bonnie said touched by her mother's concern. "I-I know what to do, Jaxon taught me."
"Jaxon!" Alexis stated as she looked at her daughter, oh she could just imagine what type of spells that man taught her daughter.
"Yeah, I told you he came here and helped me before you all showed up," Bonnie rushed out as she looked at her mother. "Now he thought me a trick, I can bleed out the vampires." Elena's mouth dropped open, she remembered that spell. The spell in her opinion was rather nasty, her and Stefan had a close up of it and how it worked one afternoon when Damon had forced Bonnie to practice the spell on him.
"What about Stefan, Vincent and Nikolas?" she asked cutting into the spell, Bonnie nibbled on her bottom lip as she thought it over.
"You can blocked them can't you?" she asked turning away from Elena to look at Alexis, the older woman thought about the group currently fighting below. The spell her daughter was talking would be devastating to them especially Stefan since he was only a vampire. "Can you block them?" Bonnie asked again cutting into her thoughts. Alexis sighed and nodded her head, she could block them and she would.
"I can, I can block them. But just so you know if we do this spell we'll be vulnerable to attacks."
"I'll protect you guys." Elena stated as she looked at them. "I'll get a gun and I'll watch out for you guys so just do the spell alright." Bonnie raised an eyebrow at that and looked at the girl she considered a sister.
"Elena you've never fired a gun before." Elena sent her a small smile and reached and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Well I certainly can't think of a better time to start. Trust me, I'm not going to let anyone harm you or that baby." Bonnie nodded and watched as Elena stood up and went off in search of a gun, turning back to her mother she reached out for the older woman's hands.
"Are you sure about all of this, Bonnie?"
"Positive, I just can't do nothing Mom." Alexis sighed at that and closed her hands over Bonnie's. "Now let's do this." Alexis nodded and closed her eyes forcing all her energy on those that needed to be protected from her daughter's spell.
Lucius stalked over towards Damon, "So you're the vampire that sullied my witch?" Damon narrowed his eyes at Lucius' words and shook his head as he released his brother who immediately stood up.
"I thought we already had this discussion, she's my witch, but seeing how you're here today I guess it's safe to say that you don't take rejection very well." Lucius snarled at that and rushed towards Damon with the intent to rip the boy limb from limb and then throw the severed head down in front of Bonnie when he was finished. As he rushed forward he felt a clenching in his stomach, stumbling to a stop he dropped down to one knee and spat a wad of blood on the ground. Frowning at the sight of his own blood, he felt some leaking from his nose and ears. He looked over at Richard who was fighting the Carr brothers and saw that he was struggling as well Glancing up at the rooftop were the humans were located he felt strong wave of magic descending down on them. "She's clever," he muttered as he mentally blocked off himself from the attack, looking over at Damon he smiled. "But then again it's nothing I can't handle-Stevenson!" Damon watched as a red headed hybrid looked their way, his gaze focused on Lucius. "Go up there and handle those other witches but remember don't harm Bonnie. The man nodded his head and quickly climbed up the building. Damon and Stefan watched in muted horror as he scaled the building with ease until finally pulling himself over the ledge. Rushing forward, Damon was certain he could stop him but was stopped but a blast that cratered the ground and sent him flying back towards his brother. Lucius smiled over at him as he got up from the ground, "Hey now where in the world do you think you're going," he said as he walked forward. "We still have some things to discuss."
Stevenson paused as he finally got over the ledge to take a breath, his vision was a blurry and that was mainly due to the blood currently leaking out of his pores and every facial feature he head. Stumbling forward, his eyes scanned the entire rooftop until it settled on two witches kneeling down holding one another's hands. The magic wave coming from them was the one currently doing so much damage not only to him but to his fellow Coven members. Wiping a hand over his face, he pulled the blood off his face and allowed it to go down his chin and over his clothing as he stalked closer to them. Unfortunately for him, he had to take his time because the closer he got to the witches the more powerful their spell became. He barely even noticed the policemen around him but whenever they turned intent on stopping his forward progress, he only reared back and slammed his hand into and through their stomachs latching onto their spines inside. Some officers merely felt their spines being yanked and crushed while others clearing saw their spines before slumping to the ground in a dead heap of pale lifeless limbs. Once he was finished with the pesky officers he continued on towards the two witches. However as his steps slowed down neared them, pausing he heaved out a large portion of his blood and bent over at the waist thankfully they were paying him any attention. All he knew was that he needed to stop them from performing the spell like Lucius had commanded him to do. Lifting his head, he paused as he saw someone standing in front of him. Lifting his eyes the rest of the way, he saw a young brown haired little girl standing there. He smiled at her and he was sure by the wince that she gave him that he didn't well and that's when he saw the gun in her hand. "Oh so you're suppose to stop me."
"Going to stop you." she replied back as she leveled the gun at his chest and fired. The bullet went straight into his chest and stopped just inches from his heart but due to the blood lost and what not the gunshot took him down to his knees. Stevenson barely had time to look up as the gun pressed the gun to his forehead.
"You're never gonna stop him." he said mentioning Lucius. The girl sneered at his words and pulled the trigger and that was the last thought that Stevenson had as she slumped down to the ground his body already paling and withering away.
"Elena!" The girl turned around and saw Sheriff Forbes running towards her with her gun drawn and aimed at the dead decaying body of the hybrid that had stormed the building. "Jesus Elena." the woman breathed out as she looked at the girl her eyes saying what she couldn't at the moment which was mostly. "What were you thinking?" Elena looked down at the gun in her hand, she could still feel some phantom recoil from when she had actually fired the gun.
"I was thinking about protecting my friend and future godchild." Elena said as she looked up at the woman, she had to admit she didn't think of much else. All she thought about was protecting Bonnie and the unborn baby she carried.
"He could have killed you." Sheriff Forbes started but Elena just held up a hand to silence the woman.
"But he didn't-look we really don't have time to sit here and fuss about things alright. If you want to fuss at me can it at least wait until they are all dead." she said as she waved her hand towards the dead body at her feet. Sheriff Forbes sighed, she knew the girl was telling the truth, they didn't have time for this little chit-chat.
"Fine just be careful."
"I will." Elena said as she went back to her heading place with gun in hand, ready to protect Bonnie from the next person that tried to storm the castle and kill her friend. She'd be ready and hopefully they wouldn't be.
Damon watched Lucius slowly advance towards him and Stefan with a small grin on his face, judging from that alone, he was willing to bet that the man thought he'd be an easy kill. Looking around, he saw Benjamin trying his best to handle four hybrids by himself while Vincent and Nikolas were busying fighting off another group of hybrids. "Looking back on things, I probably should have killed that child from day one, cause I'm pretty sure that would have broke you." Damon felt his fangs drop at the mere mention of Lucius doing harm to his child.
"Or it would have really pissed me off." Lucius merely shrugged at that as if Damon's words didn't affect.
"I'm sure I could have handled it," he said with a shrug of his shoulders as he took another step closer. Damon and Stefan quickly stepped apart deciding that they weren't going to give him the advanced of taking them both down with one hit. Lucius nodded his head at their little strategy before rushing towards Stefan deciding to take out the weaker of the two. Stefan barely had time to brace for impact when Lucius' strong body drove him into the broken concrete, he barely held back a shout of pain as Lucius' fangs ripped into his shoulder. Damon charged in and bodily knocked Lucius off his brother and slammed his fist into Lucius' face. Lucius, however just laughed at him and shook his head while spitting Stefan's blood into his face.
"Vampire blood is just as I always imagined-shit." Damon wiped off his face and slammed his fist into Lucius' face only to be blew back by a burst energy that sent him sailing to the ground. He slid across it until he stopped right at Benjamin's feet. The older man looked down at him and quickly pulled him up. Glancing over Benjamin's shoulder, he saw the dead hybrid bodies lying on the ground.
"What have I told you about my patent leather shoes?" Damon smirked at that as he stood up and looked back at Lucius who was standing as well.
"Ah, Azrael finally you make yourself available." Benjamin grinned at that and shook his head as he stepped in front of Damon and gave him a gentle push back.
"Available and here I was thinking you were avoiding me." he said with a laugh, "I thought you come right for but like the bitch you are, you hang back and fight everyone else but the one person you need to fight." Lucius narrowed his eyes at Benjamin's words and spat out more of what Damon could only guess was Stefan's blood.
"I needed the practice, haven't been a good fight in centuries." Benjamin smirked at but nodded his head.
"I know I've been feeling the same way and for some reason I don't think tonight will change any of that."
"Oh I'm sure I can change your mind about that." Lucius said said as he rushed forward, Benjamin caught him in mid-air turned and tossed Lucius into the building behind him. The wall of the building crumpled on impact and Lucius disappeared beneath the rubble. Benjamin turned to Damon and a slowly healing Stefan.
"Go and finish off the rest of the hybrids," he paused as Lucius slowly made his way out of the debris. "I got this."
"Benjamin-."
"Go, like I said I got this." he snapped, Damon looked Benjamin in the eye one last time before quickly hurrying away with Stefan right on his heels. Benjamin turned back around and looked at Lucius who was slowly making his way to his feet. Without even thinking about it, he charged forward focused on one thing killing Lucius once and for all.
