Stefan's P.O.V.
I felt my heart breaking once again but this time it was so much worse; at least last time the love of my life didn't say anything to hurt me. No she didn't say this to hurt you she said it because she loves you. I do not know how I am going to get through this, Elena was everything to me and even though she loves me… she loves Damon more. It isn't like I can force her to love me more than Damon. I can't make her feel what I want her to but I can be there for if and when Damon messes up. I can be her Stefan again maybe one day. But for now I will just have to be on the sidelines loving her from a distance…
But if Damon does hurt her I will personally rip my brother's heart out with my bare hands. She deserves than Damon or me, but at least I will not end up hurting in the end. I will always be there for her no matter what with her loving me as a lover or as a friend I will always be hers and no one will ever take her place in my heart…
Damon's P.O.V.
I pacing now in front of Stefan wishing Elena was here in his place; but she needed time to be alone. If either I or my brother had the choice we'd be down there smothering her with love and forgiveness for upsetting her.
Stefan's voice was quiet but serious, "If you ever hurt Elena, Damon, I will kill you. Just be aware of this."
I roll my eyes and said, "Do you not understand, baby brother? I would never hurt Elena."
Stefan's eyes flashed a darker green than usual and said, "I do not believe that, Damon."
I growl at him and pin him against the wall I was sick of his attitude towards me, "I will always protect Elena. I love her and if you cannot comprehend this then you are a fool, brother."
He pushed me off him I was about to throw a punch when both of us stopped and listened in the back yard. Everything was quiet… as in no breathing or moving quiet. So quiet that it seemed deathly quiet even for a vampire. Even all the wildlife has quieted as if nature had a sensed something gone horribly wrong.
In a flash I and brother were in the backyard, there was no sight of Elena. I looked at my brother and motioned with my hand to keep quiet and he nodded and then disappeared to go scope the perimeter. I on the other hand stayed in the backyard crouching on the ground taking in all the scents. Lavender and leather… Elena I knew her scent as if it was the back of my hand and the leather must have come from being around me so much. But there was something else… a scent that was void of actually a fragrance. Vampire. But it also had a sickening sweet scent that I knew all too well. It was Katherine's signature scent; a mixture of blood and vanilla. It is oddly appealing to any race be it vampire, werewolf, or human.
Stefan was back at my side and shook his head to the side telling he found nothing. I nudge my head as if to say: get your ass down here I think I found something. Stefan knelt on the ground and sniffed quietly to himself. He's even gentle when it comes to smelling… I watch as Stefan's eyes widen and he was about to saying something but I placed my hand over his mouth.
I whisper silently so only he could barely hear, "You would be an idiot to say something, brother, she could have spies anywhere."
I let go of Stefan and he spoke anyways, "It doesn't matter she already knows we know she took Elena. Plus if there are spies they'd know by how deadly quiet it is, we were in a middle of a fight and we aren't exactly the quietest bickerers…"
He has a point so I shouted, "If any of Katherine's lackeys are out there get out of here before we decide you paid a visit to a few of my friends in Hell."
Someone appeared out from the woods, which was a very stupid mistake on their part. He had his hands up in the air and said, "I- I know where Katherine is."
I roll my eyes at the boy in front of me; he was barely a year old as a vampire. Typical Katherine to send out her weakest link, so she doesn't have to worry if he dies. I tell the boy, "You must be royally stupid to expose yourself. Well actually I feel a tad stupid myself for not noticing you before my hearing must be failing me, do you agree brother? We're getting so old we can't even hear this baby vamp."
Stefan wasn't in the mood to play it seemed as he asked the boy, "Where are they?"
The kid looked nervously up at Stefan, "Aren't you the ripper?"
Stefan's face held surprise and he asked, "Why do you ask that?"
I literally saw the boy gulp before he said, "There are stories about you. Stories of how you not only ripped humans for pleasure but vampires too."
Huh, little brother has got some reputation now doesn't he? I chipped in my two cents, "Not only does he rip em' he eats em' too!"
That got the kid's eyes so wide I swore he was about to piss himself; he stuttered, "What are you going to do with me?"
I said, "Well I don't know what I'm going to do but I'm pretty sure Stefan has some ideas planned for you. That is if you don't spill about where Katherine is."
He couldn't get his words out quick enough, "She's at the- she's at the old abandoned hotel down mystic drive!"
I looked at Stefan, we both knew the place. I looked at the kid and asked, "What's your name kid?"
He said a little more at ease, "I'm Kelper but people just usually call me Kelp."
I rolled my shoulders and said, "Well Kelp," I said with a sneer, "you're dead either way. By Katherine's hands or mine and well you pissed of the wrong vampire by taking Elena." I went up to the child and ripped out his heart. His body dropped and I tossed his heart into the forest.
Stefan mused, "You didn't have to kill him you know, he could have been more of a help later."
I glared at my brother and said, "We don't have time for you to play Saint Stefan, we've got the love of our lives to save."
Hey guys hoped you like this chapter cuz I thought we needed Damon to be a little more bold and bad. Ya know? No one wants Damon just for his romantic side… well actually I do but he's even more sexy with a dangerous and cocky side in my opinion. Rate and review it means a lot to me! :)
