Chapter 14
Dear Journal,
Today, we were all summoned for a secret meeting with our King Wiltshire at the late hours of the night. Our majesty Raphael has been a different man since Queen Aleksandria gave birth to second son Prince Nicklaus… Most of us wonder if his attitude has anything to do with the rumblings going about the castle that the Queen was unfaithful bearing a child from that betrayal. No one dares speak of such treachery out loud because of the King's bad temper… it was said that that was why Duke Nealon and family were sent to be executed.
No one understands the sudden need for him to have requested such a massacre, but it is true that no Harcourt will be left alive the way he's been going. Seeing as the meeting will be called to order now… I will continue my entry at a later time.
o-o-o
I'm wordless… to a secluded amount of trusted people; we were called upon to discuss the breach of our law that clearly states the no commingling of the blood lines. Unknown to any of us how… it is apparent that our Vampire Queen bared a child hybrid. The King has made it perfectly clear that he will not stand for that and that we must make a decision of action. After a grueling amount of hours and discussions, it was the Original Witch that said they could make sure that the child's werewolf side remained dormant. Though like anything in life it is indefinite, there were stipulations conferred about because the child with such knowledge would be able to change that. But even then… we all discussed the possibility of it not making it that simple.
I could tell the King was still not satisfied with the proposal, but knowing that killing the heir was not an option… he'd given the order for the Curse to be put in place. Prince Nicklaus we were warned is to grow up without the knowledge of his real bloodline the King swearing us all to secrecy. Should a word of this revelation leave the room, he threatened to wipe out our dynasty.
For now, my journal, all I know is that the Curse will happen tomorrow night… at the crest peak of the full moon… God help us in the dire situation that we have been put in to and I hope this issue never arises again.
o-o-o
For precaution the witch said…
Breanne Putnam came to look for me last night… I have to stress to you my journal, that she and I are not friends. But it seems that she comes with orders of our majesty the King demanding my cooperation. I understand not the hatred that King Wiltshire harbors, but what I know is true is that he wants that child to suffer and never break the curse bestowed upon him.
Brea said my family has been gifted with a line of doppelgangers that just happened to be a side effect of the Curse. Can I just say what bad luck we possess? She said that that is nature's way of setting balance in our world of the supernatural. The death of the doppelganger will happen to be a requirement if our hybrid Prince found out and decided to attempt to break the curse. I cannot believe the position that we have been put in, but aside from that… onto the 'for precaution part…'
It seems that this witch can sometimes tell the future and the future has told her that Prince Nicklaus will find out about his true nature and will go against the world to get what he wants. In comes the part of the Petrova bloodline thing… it seems that as an attempt to keep him from going through with it, she wants my blood to cast a soul mate spell. Let's just say… I wanted to laugh though she did not care for my attitude.
Needless to say… I did as I was told having no choice but to follow my King's orders. Brea casted the spell right in front of me as my palm dripped blood on to the sleeping Prince's chest… the blood suddenly disappearing from him as the witch was done with her chanting. All I kept on thinking was that this was wrong… they were ensuring that Prince Nicklaus would fall for his doppelganger in hopes of deterring him from completing the Sacrifice. But would that be enough…?
o-o-o
I'm in love… with a Wiltshire. I should be joyful, well… I am content but part of me questions where my feelings actually come from. The pull that I feel towards this man is immensely self consuming. Which, was all fine by me until the Putnam Witch said there were some consequences to soul mate spell. That's correct, my body, mind, and soul scream for this Wiltshire man because of it… my blood calling for his. Basically… I will never know if we were meant to be or if he loves me because of this ridiculous vendetta the King has started all because his wife.
It makes my heart break that I will never know…
I suppose that I should just enjoy what I feel, rightful or not. The only hope I have left is that the witch said that when a Petrova doppelganger finds her soul mate in a Salvadorezs instead of a Wiltshire, though she mentioned it unlikely, and it will all be over. A child must result of that union ending this ridiculous blood feud once and for all. Claiming what will be rightfully theirs… the right to the new Empire.

Elena closed the Journal as she continued to blubber like a little girl… she'd scanned through the pages of the old book to see what more she could find out about the Dynasty Families their Government and History but what she had not expected to find was the amount of vengeance portrayed and how far things really went.
She had questions… of course she had questions… she felt like she might be this Petrova woman baring that Salvatore child and that scared her because she didn't know what that would mean.
Damon decided then to creep inside their bedroom to check on Elena now that she seemed to sleep all the time. He would find it almost humorous that she could not stay awake if she didn't take at least two naps a day. Though asleep was better than crazy hormonal Elena who seemed to be overly emotional these days. He couldn't complain though, it seemed that her sex drive had skyrocketed and he was thoroughly enjoying that immensely.
He finally walked all the way inside stealthily until he heard her sniffles and found her red face from all the crying…
"Whoa… what's going on?" He flashed to her side.
Elena just gazed with tear filled eyes burying her head in his chest as she cried like the world was falling apart. He hugged her tenderly… rubbing her back lovingly as he tried to comfort her of whatever had upset her so much.
Suddenly Elena pulled back cursing, "Raphael was an asshole…" she started, "God! Why did he get married in the first place…?"
Damon pulled back staring at her like she'd lost her mind…
"She didn't love him… HE knew that…" she got off the bed, "What did he think was going to happen…? That she'd wake up one day and be in love with him?"
"I…" Damon was at a loss to say anything…
"Ugh…" she looked around at all the Kleenex she had used all over the bed and grab them bunching them up, "I probably look all gross…" she said disappearing into the bathroom.
"O-kay…" Damon sighed to himself running a hand through his hair as he followed after her… She was standing in front of the sink gazing at herself in the mirror.
He slid his hands around her waist and her now clearly visible bump… gazing with adoration, "You're beautiful…"
"Liar…" she grinned at him through the reflection as she nestled back against him taking comfort in his arms, "but thank you…"
"First of all…" he placed a lingering kiss on her neck, "I don't lie…" he kissed her again, "and second of all… I'm assuming you finally decided to read that Journal…?"
"And third of all…?" Elena asked when he stopped.
"Yeah, that's all I got…" he chuckled peppering her neck and ear with kisses making her burst in a fit of giggles.
"Okay, stop, stop, stop…" she breathed exhausted trying to get away from him. She turned around in his embrace then to place a slow tender kiss on his lips… enjoying the way his mouth claimed her more forcefully as he let his tongue roam inside her mouth making her moan… "Mmmm…"
Damon loved the way her body just melted under his touch, especially when he did simple things like run his fingers on her arms or back… making her shiver from pleasure. He'd learned his way to caress her skin… to sooth her emotions away.
Feeling her kiss him back blissfully happy while running those wonderful nails of hers on his scalp… he pulled back keeping their foreheads together as he asked…
"Better…?"
"Infinitely better…" she smiled…
"Good…" he pressed his lips to hers again saying, "Why don't I draw you a bath… and later, we can talk about what made you so upset…"
Her expression turned sad for a second before she lit up nodding at him in acceptance…

Tyler pulled Caroline into a hug as they made their way down to their gate…
"I'm so glad we get to take a summer vacation…" he purred into her neck.
"Technically…" she said softly back, "We're not going on vacation… we're meeting Elijah and Damon bringing those damn rocks they seem to desperately want…"
"Well I…" he turned her around to press her against one of the columns, "plan to take advantage either way…" he captured her lips fervently then… as if they weren't at an airport in front of lots of people. Kissing her passionately and yet tenderly…
"Sheesh…" Bonnie said out loud, "Don't you two do anything other than be all over each other…?"
Caroline giggled pulling back as Tyler scowled, "Jealous…?" she teased.
"Not in the slightest…" Jeremy called pulling Bonnie to him playfully… as he planted a more than sensual kiss on her lips.
She'd humorously tried to push him off but then all but gave in to his entrancing lips…
"Uh hum!" Caroline cleared her throat loudly making Jeremy and Bonnie pull apart to stare at them before they just started laughing.
"It's going to be a good trip right…?" Bonnie asked as their laughs subsided and they took a seat at the waiting area. She just felt edgy about this trip and she couldn't pin point why.
"Of course it's going to good…" Care answered, "We're going to Italy for god's sake…"
"Exactly…" Tyler said, "And we're going to have a great time…"
Bonnie smiled as Jeremy pulled her closer to him whispering in her ear… "Everything's going to be okay…" he soothed, "you'll see…"
She continued to pretend towards her friends that she believed them but for some reason she just couldn't shake the feeling that something bad had started that was surely going to come for her friends.

Elena moaned as Damon washed her inner thighs with the sponge as she arched her neck off to the side to give him better access at kissing and nipping her skin lightly… she could feel his hardened erection pressed to her back and she knew she was achingly ready to feel him inside…
"Damon…" she whimpered as he began to fondle her breasts creating just the right amount of pressure while tweaking her buds lightly…
She reached behind her in desperate desire to spur him on… squeezing his hard shaft while stroking it as best she could… he growled pleasurably against her ear and she knew she had him.
"Elena…" he rasped as he picked her up carefully from her hips to get her on her knees as he allowed his length to rub against her behind making her shudder in anticipation then pushed it down between her legs thrusting as if he was already in her.
"No teasing…" she panted turning side ways to capture his lips then pulling back pleadingly, "I want you… inside me…"
"As you wish my love…" Her tempting tone with the way her body writhed under his touch was all it took to give in to her. Damon leaned forward making her bend over, placing her hands on the side of the tub, as he spread her legs for him to position himself at her entrance… he began to surge forward into her welcoming nether lips… as she took all of him in.
They groaned in unison… Elena impaling herself on his succulent cock as he began withdraw and plunge into her already tightening folds. Meeting his driving force with hers; thrust after thrust always hitting that wonderful spot inside her that made her scream…
"Ahh… so close…" he heard her moan so he angled himself better to surge deeper into her core… making her cry out in appreciation… her heart hammering in her chest as felt herself explode in utter bliss…
"Good God, Elena…" Damon groaned as her womanly folds clamp down on him delightfully strong… swiftly pulling him into oblivion with her as they both rode out the waves of their intense lovemaking that never failed to make their world quake.
Slowly and panting from their tryst… Damon eased back into the water bringing a satisfied Elena back with him.
"Hmmm…" she sighed contently laying on his chest, "I love you…" she purred nestling as much as she could into him.
"I love you…" he smirked enveloping her into him just as she liked. It still amazed him every once in a while that such a wonderful woman loved him as much as she did knowing who he was, what he was, and more importantly… what he had done. But she did… truly and honestly… love him. He couldn't be more grateful of his cursed life than now that he had been gifted with her.
Now Elena pregnant… was just the cherry on top of a sundae as days went by and more and more the idea of being a father really excited him. He was sure that he would never be one but he supposed it had to do with not ever loving a woman like he did Elena. She was the caring, loving, and nurturing… he now knows that he's lucky to able to share this with her because he'd be lying if he said that he hadn't considered that he could have lost her one day because he wouldn't be able to give her what most women want at a certain age. That he knew of, anyway, that was obviously not a problem now.
"You're too pensive…" Elena said caressing his cheek looking into his brilliant blue eyes, "What's on your mind…?"
Damon chuckled, "Just that I love you… a lot…" he said kissing her cheek, "and little one in here too…" he said rubbing her tummy.
Elena beamed up at him turning in his arms to cup his face, "I love this you…" she said sincerely, fatherhood was something to suit him so well already.
He just seemed to roll his teasingly at her as his softer side always came out for her… "How about we get us out here before we start looking like ugly prunes…"
She giggled at his comment while grabbing the sponge to soap him up… plus, they couldn't really hide too long from their friends before they came looking like little impatient kids lost for something to do.

Katalina ran from their bedroom to Nathaniel's study as her Ruby Necklace began to glow a deep red. She couldn't believe this was happening… they weren't prepared for the Original Family and yet somehow they'd been awoken and were already here…
"Nate, my love…" she rushed in… "The Wiltshire's…" she gasped in anxiousness, "they're awake and they're here or near… not sure which…"
"What?" Nate stood walking to his wife as she opened her palm to show him the glowing necklace… "That's impossible… Stefan Salvatore I heard from my contact is not an Original yet… there's no way the doppelganger has conceived…"
He paced aimlessly scared out of his mind… he was suppose to have warned the younger Salvatore before any of this would have happen but when he'd been told the ripper had come to Italy alone… he figured he was fine making other preparations first.
"Grab your stuff…" Nate told his wife, "We have to head to the Salvatore's now and hope we aren't late already…"

Elijah flipped the page through some of the notes that Meredith had provided according to what she'd been able to find on the Original Dynasty Government, when there was a slow knock on the main door… that seemed to confuse him since his vampire hearing hadn't picked up a car approach or steps to the door come near…
He heard Katherine flash to the door opening it as he made his way there to become frozen in place by the sight of the man…
The elder looking man stood there smiling charmingly at Katherine as she began to introduce herself and the man bowed down to place a chaste kiss on her hand…
As he pulled back, the man noticed Elijah gaping… "Won't I get invited in son…?"
