Promise Me This~Damon Salvatore~Ch. 14

~Sing to the Death Rattle~

A slow smile pulled sat the corners of Abby's lips as she looked into Damon's eyes.

"But we have to talk to the witch first." Damon said, tucking a strand of hair behind Abby's ear.

"Bonnie? Why?" she asked, lifting an eyebrow.

"I want to make sure if we do this now, we'll both make it through in one piece. If its already too late to change you…we need to know."

Abby nodded. "Okay." she agreed. "But…"

"But, what?"

"But what happens when she tries to talk us out of it?"

Damon shrugged. "We don't let her."

Abby chuckled, leaning down to rest her head on his shoulder. "We should try to sleep." She told him, wrapping her arms around his waist as he did the same to her.

"We should." He agreed, pressing a kiss into the crook of her neck and sending a shiver through her entire body.

"You…you shouldn't do that." Abby told him, her voice slightly breathless.

"You're right…I shouldn't." he agreed with a smirk, pressing his lips to her collar bone.

"Damon…The bond…" Abby moaned instead of being stern like she'd intended.

"Fuck…" Damon groaned barley able to pull himself away from her.

"M-maybe I should find another room." Abby said, looking into his lusty eyes.

Damon shook his head 'no'. "No. It's okay. I'll control myself…" His eyes trailed up and down her body as a smirk tugged at his lips "For now."

Abby smiled, looking down to try and hide the blush reddening her cheeks with her hair.

Damon chuckled, brushing her hair off to the side as he kissed both of her cheeks. "Let's get some sleep." He told her, lifting her up into his arms and getting to his feet, just to turn and place her back on her spot in the bed.

Abby smiled up at him as he laid the blanket over top of her.

"Go to sleep." he told her, softly running his finger down the bridge of her nose.

After pressing a kiss to her forehead, Damon walked around to his side of the bed, unbuttoning his shirt and dropping it on the floor and then sitting on the bed to kick off his shoes.

Abby smiled, watching as he tossed his shoes on the floor and once again stood up. "Where are you going?" She asked, tiredly watching him walk to his dresser.

"I can't sleep naked with you in the bed, now can I?" He asked with a smirk as he held up a pair of black sweat pants.

Abby gave him a small, tired pout and Damon chuckled, shaking his head as he headed into the bathroom to put on the pants.

When he came back out a few minutes later, Abby was fast asleep under his warm blanket.

She looked so peaceful he couldn't help but smile. She was so beautiful…

Walking over to the door, he flipped the light off and then made his way back over to the bed and climbed in beside her.

Leaning on his elbow, Damon looked down at her on the bed. A smile tugged at his lips at her peaceful expression. "I love you, Abby…I just hope you still feel the same after I turn you." he whispered, running his fingers lightly along her jaw line.

A smile tugged at the corner of Abby's lips at his touch. "Mmm, Damon." she mumbled, her body reflexively snuggling into his.

Damon smiled a little brighter, wrapping his arms around her and laying back in the bed. "Goodnight, Abby." He whispered, closing his eyes and letting sleep take him as well.

"I see you…But I can't feel you… anymore. So go away." Abby sang Stone Sour's 'Hesitate' as she lined her eyes in black the next morning in Damon's bathroom. "I need you…but I can't need you…anymore. You hesitate."

"I love it when you sing while you're putting on your makeup." Damon's voice whispered in her ear as his strong arms came up behind her and wrapped around her waist.

Abby smiled, leaning back into him. "I love it when you wrap your arms around me."

"Will you still sing for me after you turn?" He wondered, as his fingers absently played with the front ties of Abby's sweat pants.

"I will, as long as you promise to keep coming into the bathroom to listen." She replied, staring at their reflection in the mirror.

"As you wish." He replied with a smile, pressing his lips into the crook of her neck.

Abby sighed contently. "I love you too." She told him before gently pulling out of his grip. "But I've gotta finish getting ready which means you have to go back in your room" She told him, kneeling down in front of her bag on the floor.

"You better get ready fast." Damon said, looking down at her with curiosity as she pulled out a pair of faded jeans.

"Why's that?"

"The witch just walked into the house." He informed her, grabbing the coffee cup of blood off the counter where he had set it when he first walked in, too quickly for Abby's human eyes to see.

"Where'd that come from?" she wondered, looking at him curiously.

"I had it when I came in here, Silly."

"What is it?" Abby asked, watching as he quickly finished whatever was left in the glass.

"Breakfast." Damon told her with a mischievous smile while licking his lips.

"Oh... Ewe." Abby replied, getting what he meant after a moment. It was blood in the glass.

Damon chuckled. "I'll see you downstairs." He told her, turning on his heels and walking out of the room before Abby could reply.

Shaking her head, a smile tugged at the corners of her lips as Abby turned her attention back to her bag and began digging for a good shirt to wear.

Damon sighed as he walked away from his room to join Elena, Stefan, and Bonnie in the sitting room.

Today was going to be rough…and that was only if things went as planned and-really-how often did that ever happen?

With another sigh, Damon walked into the room to find a very disgruntled witch glaring daggers at him.

"What did I do now?" he wondered, crossing his arms over his chest as he looked her up and down. He should have gotten a refill on his cup before he came into this room…He looked down at his empty cup longingly.

"You really think I'm just going to sit back and let you turn Abby into a vampire?" she spat.

Damon rolled his eyes before turning his focus on Stefan and Elena standing behind her. "Alright you two…who squealed?" He asked, lifting an eyebrow.

"How could we have when you don't tell us anything?" Elena growled, crossing her arms over her chest as well.

Damon shrugged, letting his crossed arms fall to his sides. "I figured Abby would have talked to you about all of this last night after I left."

"No." Elena replied, rolling her eyes as she looked away from him and mumbled, "She's been keeping everything to herself like you do."

Damon smiled, knowing that wasn't entirely true. Abby might not have been telling Elena anything, but she was telling him everything. All he ever had to do was ask and she would tell him, even if it embarrassed her. He wondered if that would change once the bond was broken.

"You're not turning her, Damon. I won't let you." Bonnie growled, pulling him from his thoughts.

Damon looked the human up and down for a moment before rolling his eyes and once again crossing his arms over his chest. "And how do you plan on stopping me, little witch?"

Bonnie let a smirk pull at the corner of her lip for a moment, and then Damon was screaming.

His hand release his mug as they both came up to grip his skull. It felt like it was being stabbed all over by a million jagged shards of glass.

"Bonnie, No!" Abby screamed, running into the room and shoving the witch as hard her she could, Making Bonnie's concentration break and freeing Damon of the terrible pain.

Damon's screams stopped as he lay on the floor trying to catch his breath.

"How dare you!" Abby growled, barely able to keep herself from ripping out the witch's throat.

"I won't let him turn you, Abby. You have no idea…"

Abby cut the witch short by smacking her across the face. "Thats not your decision to make!"

"Abby…" Damon groaned from the floor.

His voice sent a wave of calm through her that instantly gave her pause.

"Abby…" He said again, sitting up on his elbow.

Abby quickly turned away from the witch and sat down on the floor beside her vampire. "Damon…Are you okay?" She asked, taking his face in her hands and studying him for a moment to make sure he was in fact ok.

"I'm fine." He told her, giving her a small smile.

Abby nodded, studying him for another moment before pressing her lips gently and lovingly to his forehead. "I love you."

Damon smiled. "I love you, too."

Abby smiled, giving him a small nod as they both got to their feet together.

"We've already made the decision." Damon said once he was fully up. He had his arm around Abby's waist and was looking into her eyes. "I just need to know that we'll make it through the change."

Bonnie didn't say anything, she simply glared at the two.

"We're doing this Bonnie, so either jump in with the information or leave." Abby said, her voice calm as she rested her head on Damon's shoulder and looked over at the witch. "I won't lose him. This is the only way."

Bonnie stared back and forth between the two for a moment. Crossing her arms over her chest she sighed. "As long as you haven't sealed the bond yet, it should be okay." She caved, not looking at either of them.

A small smile curved at both Abby and Damon's lips.

"When are you doing this?" Stefan asked, looking at the two with concern.

Damon and Abby pulled part just enough to look into each other's eyes for a moment, before turning to face Elena and Stefan again. In unison the pair replied, "Now."

AN: Sorry this took me so long to get out!
