The smell of ichor and blood, flooded Alexis' nostrils. These demons were stronger than most that she had fought before. They healed faster, their skin was tougher. She groaned in anger, slicing a demon's finger off, making it howl. Elbowing it in the face, knocking it to the ground, she stabbed the exposed flesh. The demon went up in smoke, disappearing into the murky midnight air. Alexis turned and saw her three comrades fighting their hardest. Damon sliced through many of the demons swiftly, some put up a fight, but lost in the end. They locked gazes and shared a smile, that suddenly disappeared on his face. Damon whispers something to Will, who turns and pales. Finally, Alexis turns to see for herself.
Lilith is making her way over to her. Shoving demons out of her way, her eyes only locked on Alexis. Something in her body told her to stand her ground, so she tried. But hands grabbed Alexis from behind, dragging her away. Alexis screamed at the top of her lungs. "Calm down, it's just me."
"Will?"
Damon appeared out of no where and looked at Will. "Get her out of here," he growled and turned his attention to Lilith. Alexis world tipped off balance.
"What? Damon you can't be serious! You can't fight her alone."
"Go. Now," He growled and ran off. Alexis screamed his name, she struggled under Will's tight hold. When Alexis could finally see what was going on, she caught glimpse of the face off between Damon and Lilith. Fangs were bared, weapons were thrown. Damon had the upper hand, because he was faster and more agile than Lilith. Alexis started smiling, then the unthinkable happened. A demon snuck up behind Damon and pinned his arms. Damon struggled, as Lilith stood, blood and teeth visible in the light.
"Damon," Alexis screamed. It was so loud, it made Will and Kristens blood curdle.
Alexis lost her breath, red flashed before her eyes. Everything in the world went still and dark. Across the park, Lilith stood, her hand through Damon's abdomen. His eyes were blank, blood dripped from Damon's lips to his chin. Lilith ripped her hand free, the sound of raw, tearing flesh flooded the night. Lilith shoved Damon back, so he would fall to the ground. "You will never come back to Hell. You want to love a Nephilim, then die like one." Lilith disappeared, along with the others. My God, they never wanted me. They wanted to kill Damon all along, Alexis thought to herself. She finally broke free of Will's hold and ran over to where Damon lay.
"Damon! Damon! Oh my God," Alexis sobbed, as she knelt by him. She laid his head in her lap, stroking his hair. He groaned in pain. Alexis couldn't breathe. "Damon, come on. You're going to be hear me!You are going to make it through this and we are going to be together." The tears wouldn't stop. Her chest hurt, the symptoms of a broken heart. This is how Tessa feels. The idea only made Alexis cry more. A hand brushed her cheek. Alexis looked to see Damon caressing her face softly.
"Alex," Damon whispered weakly. Alexis didn't want to admit it, but he was slipping. Alexis held Damon's hand tightly in hers. He returned the grip, squeezing her fingers softly. Alexis bent down, and kissed him softly.
"Please, Damon, please. You have to make it; I can't live without you. I love you,"Alexis said, as Damon began wheezing, gasping for breath. More blood oozed through his lips, staining his skin and teeth. His grip tightened, with each shock of pain.
"I…love...you...too," Damon murmured. Then a long sigh escaped his mouth, as he went slack in Alexis' arms. Tears flowed down her cheeks, her body began trembling.
"Damon?" Damon didn't respond, "Damon?" His grip was lost on Alexis' fingers. "Damon! No, no, no. Damon. Damon, please!" The tears wouldn't stop. She held his body close. Hands grabbed her shoulders.
"Alexis we must leave, he's gone," Will said softly.
"No! I won't leave him!"
"Those demons will be back, are you really going to make his sacrifice worthless? Now come on," Will lifted her, prying her grip from Damon's lifeless body. As they walked away, Alexis kept her silence. Because of me, Damon will never come back.
