Warning Character Death! Sad character death :( Please read and Review! CLM 18

Chapter 14

Tension hung in the air like a thick cloud. Kathrine's dark eyes shot daggers at him.

"What Kitty Kat are you scared?" Damon taunted.

"Why would I be afraid of a mere mortal like you?" Kathrine replied her voice dripping venom.

"Ha, you have always been so naïve." Damon laughed.

"You don't know me stupid man, you don't know anything, and for this! You are going to die." Kathrine lunged forward her teeth bared aiming her fangs at his carotid artery.

Just then Emily hit them with a blast of psychic energy, the door burst open and Kathrine flew back smashing hard into the wall.

"Jeez witchy thought you were going to leave me hanging." Damon snarked looking back at Emily and the men behind the door.

"Now we need to finish them off." Damon smiled heroically, today he would finally get his revenge on Kathrine.

"Wait!" Emily said holding her head in pain, her concentration on holding Kathrine faltered, the vampire quickly got up and ran off.

"What the fuck Bennett!?" Damon yelled, rushing to pick the witch off the ground. Valarie shook and hid in the corner trying hard to be hidden.

"You can't kill Kathrine." Emily finally gasped.

"What!?" Damon and all the men yelled.

"She must not be killed today, the powers that be will not allow it. The prophecy has come to me!" Emily said her eyes wide.

"What?" Damon questioned.

"The baby it has been conceived, conception has occurred, I can see your son's future now." Emily said her eyes glowing bright white. "He and Elena are the ones that must destroy Kathrine and all her darkness, with his blood on the dawn of his 18th year. It was so unclear but now, it is all there. We must hurry back to Mystic falls; your brother has become a liability." Emily said before fainting.

Damon was caught off guard, the baby had been conceived? But they only made love the one time, how is it even possible that it would happen so quickly.

"I think the witch is mistaken," Giuseppe intervened, "You and Miss Elena are not betrothed yet." He directed at Damon.

Damon just chewed his lip, rustling in the background distracted him from his fathers worried gaze.

"We still have a vampire to deal with." Damon said avoiding his father and the councils judging eyes.

"Please… Please don't kill me." Valarie begged.

"Why should I spare your life when you came to kill my brother." Damon said his voice thick with anger.

"Your wrong, I love Stefan, I wanted to run away with him, to take him far away so we could be together forever away from Julien." Valarie begged.

"Well that's too bad because he is not going anywhere with you, you cannot be trusted if you are working with Kathrine Peirce you are as good as dead." Damon said his eyes narrowing.

"Please, I just want Stefan, I won't hurt anyone I will leave your little town alone." Valarie pleaded.

"ENOUGH talking!" Damon bellowed. "You used a sick trick to lure him out, making him believe he was a father? What kind of sick bitch are you?" Damon yelled as he walked closer to the shaking new vampire.

"Joseph was real, he was." Valarie cried, "Julien killed him, when he found out I was pregnant he killed my baby, Stefan's baby. I didn't want to be a vampire, Lily healed me with her blood I didn't know that if I died I would turn. I wanted to end my life, my whole reason of living was Joseph, you have to believe me please. I love your brother I always have."

Damon felt her pain, her anguish, but he knew that no matter what today Valarie would die, if it was at his hands or the hands of the countless men outside the motel room.

He bent down to be eye level with the woman. "Let me tell you a secret." Damon whispered as he pushed a Vervain soaked stake into Valarie's chest just enough to hear the hissing sounds it made on her skin, holding her there.

"I used to be a vampire too, I understand your anguish, your pain. But no matter what, right now you are going to die. You can make it painful or you can die in peace. Either way you're going to die. I suggest you turn it off, turn off your humanity, it will hurt less." He sighed looking straight into Valarie's eyes. He felt evil killing her, he felt as if it went against everything he was, this woman wasn't evil, she was misguided just like he was. She was driven by love, just as he was. As he pushed the stake through her heart and heard the bones of her chest wall crack, he felt the pain as if it was his own. He watched as her face contorted in pain, saw the dark veins creep up her body. He felt terrible as he lifted himself off the ground.

"Burn the room." He said coldly as he walked away picking Emily up of the ground and heading towards the horses.

"Damon!" his father yelled to him.

"Damon, we can not just let that vampire get away." Giuseppe commented.

"Father there is nothing that can be done, you heard Emily the prophecy will not allow us to kill Kathrine until its time." He said his back still to his father.

"Damon that prophecy she speaks of is lies, Elena is not with child!" Giuseppe whispered as he got closer to Damon and Emily.

"I believe she is father." Damon said once again not turning around.

"How is that possible? It would not be yours it must be someone from the future." His father tried to reason.

"The child is mine father. We may not be married first as you had wanted but we have consummated our relationship." He said clicking his tongue.

"Damiano Giuseppe Salvatore! Do not tell me you slept with Miss Elena in my home, unwed!" his father fumed. Damon rolled his eyes as his father used his Italian name.

"I slept with Elena in your home unwed." Damon smirked, if it was one thing he loved it was getting under his father's skin.

"This is preposterous! This means we will have to move the wedding, you get married tomorrow Damon!" his father scoffed as he mounted his horse.

"Yes father." Damon said sarcastically, as he grabbed a wet cloth and patted Emily's face lovingly.

"Do not use that tone Damiano." Giuseppe sneered. Damon just rolled his eyes once again.

"We will talk about this when we get home, I expect you to come with me this coming week, so we can begin your training at the plantation, this is no longer your choice anymore." Giuseppe said as he rode Noir home.

Emily came to finally after several swipes of the cloth.

"Jesus, witchy I thought you were never going to wake up, come on we have to head back to Mystic Falls, apparently you said my brother has got into trouble?" Damon smiled as Emily got her bearings.

"Oh, Master Salvatore, is Valarie dead?" Emily said trying to steady herself. Damon wrapped his arm around her.

"Woah there, maybe you should head home with the council they brought a carriage, I will take Patsy home." Damon said patting the horse on the nose.

"Are you sure she can be quiet a handful. Especially riding so close to Fred." Emily commented to her other horse, the one she had leant Damon for this trip.

"Miss Emily she will be fine, she's timid compared to my Blanc at home." He smiled remembering that his prize Mare was still alive. He and his father got Noir and Blanc at the same time, when Damon was 10, before his father had became abusive. They named their horses the French words for black and white, the memory always made him smile. It was a simpler time back then, before all the hurt, the death, the heartache.

"Well if that is alright with you I do believe I will take the carriage, I have used far too much power today." Emily sighed.

"To answer your question, yes Valerie is dead." He nodded, he still felt sadness to the situation, yet another girl that his brother loved he had killed or stolen. He couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Good, however, I saw Stefan in a vision, he is not well. He is obsessing with becoming a vampire." Emily commented.

Damon's eyes went wide. "What!?"

Emily nodded, "I have seen it, he must not find out about Kathrine being alive, there are far stronger forces at play, the universe has destined Stefan and Kathrine to be with one another." Emily sighed.

"A soul bond? Like what Elena and I share?" Damon asked shocked.

"Similar yes, but it is more than just a soul bond, Stefan and Kathrine are doomed by fate, the doppelganger curse." Emily stated.
