Chapter Ten

Hold me in your arms, I'll be buried here with you - bastille

Groggily Carina awoke, the thick fog like headache clouding her judgement, she could hear pulsating. Unconsciously she ran her hands over her swollen stomach, leting her eyes roll around, she opened them into a squinted state.

The lavished furniture and style brought her flash backs of when she awoke from the cursed slumber, she was indeed in Damon's room, she tilted her heavy head and her aching eyes fell upon his perfect face, how she admired him, so much so, she dragged her arm out and dragged her fingers over his cheek, his sleeping eyes fluttered at the confort of her warm soft hands, she smiled at his response. In all truths she had deeply missed him.

Her eyes wandered in thought, oblivious to the icy blue that fixed on her concentrated face, his hand smoothly moved up to hold the warm hand on his face.

Carina jumped slightly in shock and embarrassment, so much for moving on, she would be a fool to think she could, or that he would fall in love with her like she had always dreamt.

She then noticed that he had indeed pinned her hand to his cheek.

"How are you feeling?"

"Rather terrible, like I have been injected with a weakening substance, of which I have" she said smoothly, hs smiled

"What the hell were you thinking?" Carina rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Well I was thinking about how satisfied I was by drinking some vein blood, then I was approached and attacked"

"Carina, this isn't funny. Wes is a dangerous man, I don't want you getting in any trouble, especially now he is interested in you"

"I don't care"

"You really should, I don't want you going anywhere alone from now on"

"Daddy Damon stepping up? I've handled worse Damon"

"I've handled people like him, I've only just got you back"

"I'm sure you'd gladly give me away, didn't think you'd want me in the way of you and your precious Elena" Carina internally cringed at her weak argument, but Damon's face showed nothing but hurt.

"How could you say that?" he asked incredulously she stood, anger in her eyes.

"Oh please, ever since I got back I've caused problems in your little save haven" Carina spat "and I've handled much worse than the local doctor, I used to take part in business with Klaus, I can take care of myself,before and after you left me" she hissed, how she said 'you left me' felt like a stab to Damon, he grabbed her arms and was close to her face.

"I came back!" he yelled

"Well you was too late" her voice shook and tears burned her eyes. "I wanted to kill Katherine, but I didn't. Because I knew you loved her more than you could ever love me, so I let her go, for you" Carina sobbed.

"I loved you more than anything" Damon declared, his voice shaking.

"Don't feed me your lies, they may work on Elena, but not me. You left me, you don't just do that to someone you love, you left me to be alone for the rest of my life. Then you bedded me out of revenge for Katherine, you took my Maidenhead and claimed you loved me, was that a lie too?" she yelled, he shook his head.

"I didn't want to love you because you always spoke of another man!" he yelled back

"Klaus? NIKLAUS?!" She screamed, Damon nodded, tears spilled out onto her cheeks.

"What about all those times I kissed you?" she asked, Damon shrugged.

"You couldn't have possibly loved me, so don't lie"

"I always loved you, I always have" he said standing close, their breaths mingling and heaving chests touching, Damon put his hands on her wet cheeks, wiping away all the tears that were dribbling down her cheeks. She leant into his touch.

"Always?" she asked, he nodded looking into her eyes.

"Always" he whispered, his lips brushed hers, she didn't move, frozen scared that if she kissed him he would dissappear and this would be a dream.

So instead he pushed his lips softly onto hers, unsure of what she wanted, until she slowly responded.

They then began a battle over who could kiss the hardest before Damon then pushed her onto the bed, she fell back with an outraged gasp, and when he climbed over her she laughed as he began attacking her neck, she played with his hair.

"I love you" she whispered.

"I love you too" he murmured against her neck as he began to pull off her shirt, she grabbed his hands.

"Promise?" her voice sounded vulnerable as she gazed into his eyes, he cupped her cheek and stared deeply into her eyes.

"I will always love you, always have, always will. I promise" she smiled as she then attacked him with kisses.

"that's good then" she whispered against his neck.

-.-.-

Carina padded down the stairs clad in a black tshirt of Damon's, she thought it was a strange idea to wear his tshirt but he told her that it was almost a tradition in this current day, she also insisted on underwear much to Damon's mocking.

She made a beeline straight to the blood supply.

"well well well" Carina spun around holding a blood bag.

"Go away Katherine"

"I'd love nothing more, unfortunately I heard everything" she said wincing, she dragged her finger along the worktop.

"The Salvatores were the best lovers I've ever encountered in my life, so congratulations" Katherine winked, Carina rolled her eyes and drained a blood bag, she hissed at Katherine who jumped, Carina smirked, she then saw a wave of sadness pass over Katherine's face.

"What is it?" Carina asked.

"I just miss it, being a vampire" she said, Carina hesitated, she shouldn't feel pity to the girl who ruined her life... But she sighed and bit into her wrist, Katherine's eyes widened in shock.

"I can't drink vampire blood" she said as Carina moved towards her.

"that's good, seen as how I am a hybrid" she said smothering her blood into Katherine's face, she screamed into her wrist, but then her eyes widened as she eagerly gulped down the blood before the wound closed up, her eyes wide.

"It worked!" Katherine screamed, Carina moved towards her but she jumped back "woah" Katherine said.

"what? Quick and painless right?" Carina asked, Katherine began to talk before her neck was snapped from behind, Damon stood smirking behind her dead body, Carina rolled her eyes smiling.

"Quick and painless" Damon said smirking before walking up to circle his arms around her waist, his head moved down to kiss her but then some strange noises were heard, crippling pain smashed into both of their skulls.

"Carina" Damon yelled through the pain, he held onto her tightly as they both fell to the sound of chanting, she clung to his shirt tightly as they both fell out of consciousness.

A grinning Wes stood at the back door looking at the 3 bodies.

"take the pregnant one" he ordered with the widest grin on his face, he watched the travelers tear her from Damon, and a chunk of his shirt in her stone grip, they carried her to him, Wes stroked her forehead.

"You will do well"
