After an insanely long wait here we go. I honestly couldnt figure out what to do with this story after Damon turned Abby on the show. I didnt know how to incorporate that into it. Things are going to be rough for a while in this story, and I hope you like how this went. Let me know what you think.
PS I own nothing.
"How do we propose we do that mother?" Finn asked Esther.
"We have to get her alone, and then we kill her. She wouldn't help us willingly, so now we have to take it by force and show her who's boss." Esther said darkly.
"She has the Salvatore brothers, and the vampire hunter, the witch and Caroline Forbes to protect her." Finn said.
"Yes but I'm sure Rebekah will be with us, Kol. Niklaus and Elijah are questionable. There is a lot of bad blood between Elena and Rebekah, and Rebekah would be glad to kill her." Esther said sitting down.
"But you still want to kill all of us mother. Don't get me wrong mother, I am all for dying for the cause. But Rebekah is selfish and Kol wants to stay alive too." Finn stated.
"Well then they must never find out." Esther said finally.
"You have to go to school Elena. You're safe right now. Caroline has Klaus distracted, so he wont be trying to kill you. You turned down Esther. And I'm around if you need anything, and Ric will be there at the school with you. You'll be fine." Damon assured her.
"But I don't want to go, isn't it a little unreasonable to think that school is even worthwhile right now. It's not like I'm going to live through the year or even make it to graduation." she noted.
"You will make it to graduation because I am going to make sure of it. But in order to graduate you have to go to school." he said
"I'm not going to win this fight am I?" she asked.
"Nope, now get your hot body out to the car. I will drive you." he said ushering her out of the house.
"Fine. You're so pushy." she muttered with his hand on her back as he pushed her out to the car.
"And you love it." he said with a smirk on his face. The same smirk that ever since she met him, she had a hard time figuring out whether she wanted to smack it from his face or kiss it. Now she was sure she wanted to kiss it away although she wasn't about to tell him that. She didn't need his ego growing anymore than it already was. When he pulled up in front of the school, she leaned in and kissed him before getting out of the car.
"I'll see you after school." she said.
"I'll be here." he stated. Elena walked towards her friends, and sat down.
"Damon drove you?" Caroline asked with her eyebrows raised.
"Yeah, what about that?" she asked.
"Are you sleeping together?" she asked and everyone elses eyebrows raised.
"We may be, I'm not talking about that with you." Elena said blushing a scarlet colour.
"Oh my God you are. You're having sex with Damon Salvatore!" Caroline exclaimed much too loud.
"Caroline. Shush." she stated.
"Do you know what you're getting yourself into Lena? You know how I feel about Damon." Bonnie stated.
|"I know. But I know who he is and I love him for who he is. I trust him with my life. I'm in love with him." she said trying to get her other best friend to be okay with her relationship.
"It was hard enough to get used to you and Stefan, and he was the good brother. But Damon... he's the reason my Grams is dead." Bonnie stated sadly.
"I know. But cant you let it go? And trust me when I tell you that he's changed. For the better. He's not the bad brother anymore. Granted he may be the sarcastic, jackass, egotistical brother, but he's also kind, loving, protective brother." she said with a lovestruck expression on her face.
"You say the bad adjectives as if they're good too." Matt noted.
"Because they are. Everything that he is makes up who he is." she told them.
"Anyways change of subject. I'm dating Klaus." Caroline interjected.
"Whoa. You guys are dating now?" Elena asked shocked.
"Yeah. I like him." Caroline said all giddy.
Damon walked back into the house intent on pouring himself a drink when he saw Abby sitting on the couch obviously waiting for him.
"Can I help you?" he asked seeing her sitting there.
"I want to talk to you." she said.
"About?" he asked wearily. He did not have a good history with Bennett witches and would like to protect his brain as much as he could.
"Elena Gilbert. As you know she is my daughters best friend and I simply do not think you're right for her." Abby said definitively.
"And what makes you think that I even care?" he asked upset that this woman thought she could walk into his house and question his relationship with Elena.
"You should. I don't care how you do it, but you have to end things with Elena. You don't deserve her." Abby stated coldly.
"And why the hell do you think I'm going to listen to you?" he asked crossing her arms and giving her a menacing glare.
"You just are. Bonnie told me that you are the reason her Grams is dead. And you are more or less the cause of all the problems here in Mystic Falls. It's all your fault. So maybe you should just back out." Abby suggested standing up.
"And I say go to hell." Damon said firmly.
"You know I can hurt you." Abby stated.
"How do you intend on doing that when you have no powers?" he asked.
"Bonnie will help. Together we can channel through her and make the aneurysm feel that much worse." she warned him.
"I suggest you get out of my house before I do something that I will regret." she said.
"It doesn't matter to me what you suggest. Besides you cant do anything to me and on top of that you wont. And once Esther acquires Elena's blood Bonnie and I are going to help dispose of the originals." she said proudly.
"No chance in hell." Damon spat.
"I thought you wanted the originals gone?" she questioned.
"Not when Elena's blood is what's going to do it and besides I trust Klaus more than I do Esther. I want the enemy I know rather than the enemy I don't know." he decided.
"There is nothing you can do to stop me. I want all the abominations gone, and that includes you." Abby stated stabbing her finger into Damon's chest.
"Well you cant do anything if you're not a witch anymore." he stated as realization dawned on him. Abby was willing to put Elena in danger in order to get rid of vampires.
"I am a witch, Damon. That wont change." she said.
"You cant be a witch and a vampire." he said before biting into his wrist and shoving it into Abby's mouth. She screamed and fought but her strength was no match for his and soon she succumbed. When she had enough he snapped her neck and she collapsed. He waited a couple hours until she woke up all groggy.
"What did you do?" she demanded sitting up from the spot on the floor.
"You're not a witch anymore. Esther has to find a new set of blood related witches." he said gleefully.
"I'm in transformation." she said it dawning on her.
"You sure are. You have a choice to make." he said.
"I will never become like you. I am going home." Abby said getting up and leaving the house. Once she was gone he felt bad, he knew Elena wasn't going to agree with his decision, but it had to be done. Esther was clearly still trying to get Elena's blood, and she seemed confident that she would get it. So confident in fact that she had talked to Abby and Bonnie about doing the spell.
"Oooh who did you kill?" Stefan said walking into the house.
"Abby Bennett, she is in transformation." he said.
"Well, I guess now there's no reason for me to panic. You're not going to have Elena anymore after tonight when you tell her." Stefan said smiling.
"It had to be done. This was for her safety. This way Esther cant use her blood." he insisted.
"And do you honestly think Elena is going to look at it that way?" he asked. Damon sighed knowing Stefan was right, but regardless he wouldn't take it back. It had to be done.
When it became time for Damon to pick Elena up from school he drove over there and parked where he parked when he dropped her off. She got in the car and leaned in for a kiss. He kissed her back briefly but pulled back.
"What's wrong?" she asked knowing something was wrong.
"I did something today, and now before I tell you. Please keep in mind that I did it for you. Everything I do is for you." he stated.
"Damon what happened?" she asked wearily.
"I turned Abby Bennett." he stated without remorse.
"What? Why? What did Abby ever do to you?" she asked.
"She is helping Esther. Esther seems so sure that she's going to have your blood, that she enlisted Bonnie and Abby to help her kill the originals. I would rather keep Klaus around the enemy I know than Esther the enemy I don't know." he insisted.
"I have to see Bonnie. I have to. Take me to her." she demanded.
"I don't think that's a good idea." he stated.
"Damon, take me there. I cant be around you right now. We'll talk later." she said.
"Fine." he said starting up the car and leaving the school parking lot.
"Wait. Take me home first. I need my car." she said.
"Fine." he said, he didn't like that she would have her own car, because now she was unlikely to come over and she would be mad at him in silence. He would rather the yelling and the fighting over the silence. He dropped her off at home and she got out without saying goodbye. He drove away as she walked inside and dropped her backpack. She picked up her keys and began the drive over to Bonnie's. She drove slow, not sure what to say to her friend. Not sure what to do to make it better. When Elena pulled up and knocked on the door, she was surprised when Caroline answered the door.
"Can I see Bonnie?" she asked.
"She doesn't want to see you. She just found out her mom was killed by your boyfriend today. Granted she's in transformation but she doesn't want this." Caroline said wringing her hand.
"Just let me see her, please Care." Elena begged.
"I cant Elena. She definitely said she doesn't want to see you." Caroline said apologetically.
"Are you on her side?" Elena asked.
"There are no sides. You're my best friend and I love you. And I love seeing you in love. But Bonnie's also my best friend and I cant leave her alone on this, and I cant go against her wishes. I'm sorry Elena." Caroline said.
"I understand that." Elena decided.
"I told you he was a villain Elena. I told you he was evil, and it took for him to kill my mom for you to realize that." a teary eyed Bonnie said coming out of the spare bedroom.
"I'm so sorry Bonnie, I didn't know he would do that." Elena said stepping through Caroline over to Bonnie.
"It doesn't matter. You've defended him, and you're with him. But this was too much. I just got my mom back Elena, do you understand what that's like?" she asked.
"I never got a second chance, so I don't know Bonnie." Elena said.
"See, I got a second chance but it was ended before it even started." Bonnie said angrily. She had so much anger inside her that Elena was surprised.
"Bonnie I'm sorry. Can you just take it, and accept that." Elena begged.
"I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill Damon. I should have killed him when I had the chance." she said anger and tears falling from her.
"No don't Bon. That wont solve anything." Elena begged needing to help protect Damon.
"Our friendship is over Elena, its clear that yet again you choose on of them over our friendship. And it's okay, because I don't care anymore. You are nothing to me. You've chosen him one too many times Elena." Bonnie said bitterly.
"Bon stop. Please." Elena begged. Sure she and Bonnie had fought a lot about the Salvatore brothers, but she never thought their friendship could be over. Caroline stopped Elena and gently pushed her out of the house.
"Just leave her alone. Please Elena. She needs time. She just lost her mom, she's unstable." Caroline insisted.
"Tell her I love her." Elena asked.
"I will. And she knows it." Caroline said hugging her friend. Elena hugged her back tightly before pulling away.
"Call me if she comes around." Elena said before walking back to her car.
When she got to the boarding house, she stormed inside and walked into the parlour where she knew he would be.
"How's Bonnie doing?" he asked standing up to greet her before she slapped him across the face as hard as she could. The sharp sting radiated through him and he grabbed her hand before she could hit him again.
"No." he said holding her hand tightly in his.
"This is all your fault. I've lost Bonnie now because of you. It's all because of you." she screamed at him.
"I'll be leaving now. Call me if you need anything Elena." Stefan said leaving the house.
"Don't think that you aren't at fault for this too Stefan." she said glaring at him.
"It had to be done Elena." Damon insisted not releasing her hand, mostly in fear that she would hit him again.
"What to keep me safe? Well it doesn't matter anymore. Bonnie hates me, she said I am nothing to her. Nothing to her. I lost my best friend because you are incapable of letting things fall where they may. I don't want to see you, or hear from you." she said pulling away from her and walking out of the house, desperately needing to get away from the house before she cried.
