xXPrincess-of-DarknessxXx I'm sorry there's no Ander in this, but there's some pretty good Bamon.
Vie I think Andorra believes Artemis, because she just wants what they used to have back. And we'll start to see how over Stelena is the next few chapters.
"So how did it go with Xander?" Stefan asked as he and Andorra sat across from each other in a booth at the grill. Stefan was sure Andorra was here to stay. He could see how much she loved him. Of course her face was riddled with hurt and guilt, but she had just said goodbye to the only man she'd ever loved.
"He's back in school, and he's happy," she smiled. Andorra's heart was pounding in her chest and she was using a little magical influence to keep Stefan from noticing. He really meant the world to her, and she wanted to explore the possibility of knowing another, but her sister meant more. Their lives weren't all back stabbing and deceit. She and Artemis had loved each other more than anyone could possibly love a sibling.
Stefan grabbed Andorra's hand and stroked it gently with his thumb. "I know how hard letting go can be, but you'll get through this. I'll help you through this," he clarified. Andorra had never seen him look so adoringly at anyone before. She hadn't realized she was crying until he reached up to wipe a tear from her cheek. "You're going to be okay."
Andorra placed her hands on his hands and closed her eyes. In that moment she allowed herself to feel safe, and at peace. She took a long breath in and slowly released it. Now Stefan, she thought. "You remember when we talked about what would happen with us when I got the plights," Andorra started.
Stefan felt a sudden sense of uneasy take him and he wasn't sure of what to do. Why would she need to bring that up? There was no questioning the fact that the boarding house was her home, and Damon would just have to get used to it. Hell, if she wanted to they could move out and travel the world. He wanted to experience ever happiness life had to offer with this woman, and no one was going to take that chance from him.
"I think it's time for me to go," she said jolting him from his thoughts. He didn't know what to say. There was no way in hell she just said that to him.
"This is a joke right?" he questioned as he studied her. "You can't be serious?" he yelled causing people to look at them.
Andorra looked around and sunk into her seat. She had to do this and she had to do this right, so she straightened her spine and spoke. "I'm a goddess and certain things are expected of me, one of those things is that jar and another is being with my kind," Andorra said in the sternest voice she could fine.
"I'm not excepting the crap you're trying to feed me," Stefan warned as the veins under his eyes started to grow dark. He was starting to feel the emptiness set in as he thought about senselessly losing another facet of his life.
"Don't let me take this progress from you," Andorra said grabbing his hand. "You did this all on your own and for yourself. You overcame the biggest obstacle in your vampire life in three months. Don't ruin it because of me. You are better than that," she said and slowly his hunger passed.
"Leave," he ordered in a harsh tone. His green eyes had turned glacial and his stare menacing. The ripper was alive and well, and his only obstacle was about to make her grand exit.
"Stefan I,"- she started but was cut off.
"You want to leave there's the door, unless something is holding you back," he pressed knowing she'd just want a clean break.
"I love you I in a way I never dreamt possible. Please remember that," she said and gently pressed her lips against his.
The fury that built up in Stefan was like no other. He couldn't believe that she would kiss him like that and then just walk away. Andorra knew she was his world, and he'd have no life or happiness without her. This kiss was going to hunt him to his grave, and he hoped to make it an early one.
"I'll go," Stefan said as he stood and sped away.
Andorra watched as he blurred past the door and fought the urge to follow him. She knew in her heart she wouldn't be strong enough to say goodbye again. She had to leave things in the hands of the Fates and let them take Stefan to his destiny. She knew he still loved Elena and if the doppelgänger couldn't help him move forward from his past Damon would always be there to keep him on his way.
Bonnie paced the halls of Mystic Falls High not sure of how long she could hide from Damon. School was her only sanctuary, and that was only until he went searching for her, which would be soon. She was running out of extra credit cleaning and people to tutor. She could hold out another hour and hang out with Matt when practice was over, but he'd probably be going to Rebekah's. Bonnie decided to head to her locker and get her gym bag, maybe she could work out or go for a lap in the pool before the school closed.
"Bonnie what are you still doing here?" Caroline asked as she came down the opposite end of the hall in her cheerleading practice gear.
"I-I… I just wanted to work out a little before the gym was locked," she smiled.
"I thought Damon was your work out," Caroline teased. Bonnie looked down at her buzzing phone and it was another text from Damon which she quickly deleted. Caroline being the wonderfully observant person she was saw this. "Trouble in paradise?"
"There's no paradise with Damon, at least not for me," Bonnie smiled as she sunk down on the floor. She had never felt this helpless, not since Grams died, and there was nothing she could do about it. Bonnie wanted nothing more than what she had with Damon to be real and to last forever, but how could it with Elena around.
Caroline sat in front of Bonnie on the floor. She knew guy trouble when she saw it, and it was written all over Bonnie's face. "Spill," Caroline ordered. "What did that idiot do?"
"He didn't do anything yet," Bonnie sighed.
"Then what didn't he do?"
"Why are you acting like Damon and I are in a relationship?" Bonnie yelled.
"Well the way he went postal when you were missing says you mean a lot to him, and the way he's always undressing you with his eyes, and is shockingly nice-well Damon nice-to you says this was inevitable."
"What do you mean this was inevitable?"
"Okay, don't be mad," Caroline said and already Bonnie could feel herself getting pissed. "Stefan and I started noticing how you and Damon sorta flirt with each other," she admitted.
"FLIRT? Flirt how?" Bonnie asked.
"Oh you know the long stare offs, "pet names", causing each other meaningless bodily harm you know Bamon flirting," Caroline shrugged.
"What the hell is Bamon?" Bonnie asked.
"Oh that's what I call you two like Brangelina and Zanessa," she smiled.
"You are a crazy person," Bonnie sighed with a shack of the head.
"I'm not the one in love with Damon, that's as crazy as it gets my dear," Caroline smiled.
"I know that. I know what he does to people. Look at how he treats Stefan. He is selfish and spiteful. How can I love someone like that? How can I love someone that has hurt every single person I care about more times than I can count? He hurt you so bad Care and I still love him."
Caroline tried not to think about what happened between her and Damon not all that long ago. She didn't want to revisit how he taunted her, abused her, and used her as a blood bag. She and Damon were in a forced friendship, because they needed each other to save the world, but more often Elena's life. She had let the hatred for him go (well a good chunk of it at least) when she realized she was a vampire and would be alive forever. She was going to leave all that fear and insecurity in the past. Now it was time Bonnie stopped carrying that weight. "It's not your fault what happened to me, and you tried to make me stop seeing Damon."
"I'm the reason you turned. I made Damon feed you his blood," Bonnie cried.
"And because of you, and how much Damon cares about you and your approval I'm here and I'm happy Bon. I've never been so happy in my life. And what happened changed me. It made me so much stronger, and a little less bitchy," she said making Bonnie snort out a laugh. "I know it may seem like I hate Damon by the way I talk about him to Elena, but I'm so happy for you, and that's all I want for you to be happy," Caroline said noting the change on Bonnie's face at the mention of Elena's name.
"I should get going if I'm gonna make it to the gym," Bonnie smiled.
"You really think he's in love with Elena?" Caroline asked.
"We both know the answer to that," Bonnie shrugged.
"Bonnie Bennett are you for real? You're not going to fight for him?" Caroline asked not recognizing the girl standing in front of her. "You certainly aren't a quitter and you know she's in love with Stefan, and it's always going to be Stefan."
"Stefan has Andorra, Matt has Rebekah, and Elena wouldn't admit to loving Damon while there was still hope that her Stefan was still out there and he's gone Care. He doesn't want her anymore," Bonnie confessed.
"And you think it's different with Damon because?" Caroline questioned.
"He spent his whole vampire life fixated on Katherine and finding her, but the Katherine he was looking for turned out to be Elena. He can be with her now why would he choose me?" Bonnie asked.
"Because he'll always be first in your heart, and for someone that's always been in the shadows waiting to be seen it means a lot when someone picks you above anyone else," Caroline admitted.
Bonnie looked Caroline in the eye. She knew what she was talking about. It sucked being in Elena's shadow and they both knew how it felt. "But I wouldn't be first in his heart, and I want that Care. I want that kind of love too. I want to be the selfish one for once I want to worry about me," Bonnie smiled.
Caroline hugged Bonnie knowing that she needed the comfort, but Bonnie quickly pulled away. Caroline turned to see Elena walking down the hall. "Hey guys what's going on?"
"I was just about to grab my gym bag and go to plant fitness. I need a sit in the sauna," Bonnie said as she opened her locker.
"Any plans for this weekend. I was thinking we could come up with some ideas for prom?" Caroline asked the girls.
"Jeremy wanted to do family night, and I was hoping you guys would want to come over, 'cause you're our family," she smiled.
"That sounds fun I'll try and drag Tyler alone," Caroline smiled.
"You in Bon?" Elena asked.
"Jamie is going to be in town and Abby's coming up Sunday for brunch so I'm trying to keep this week as low key as possible," Bonnie confessed.
"It's ok I understand. It's cool that your parents are being civil," Elena smiled.
"Yeah, and a little weird," Bonnie added and they all LOLed for a moment.
Bonnie got another text from Damon and grunted. "I'll call if things change," she said and walked passed her friends. Bonnie really couldn't stand a family night with everyone being paired up and watching Elena and Damon together. The thought made her heart sink into her stomach and her eyes burn.
Stefan felt the most intense emptiness in the pit of his stomach. He wasn't in full out ripper mode, but the guy could eat. There was this nagging part of Saint!Stefan that wouldn't completely let go and The Ripper knew all the stops to make him kick rocks. Stefan was wondering around aimlessly until he noticed a cute little blond looking at him. She was sitting alone in the town square. She wasn't much too look at, but she seemed like easy undeserving pry, enough to get Saint!Stefan to quiet nagging. I'm not going to loss control, Saint Stefan yelled.
That old mantra only works when you're in control, The Ripper replied.
"Hi," Stefan said as he sat next to the girl.
"Hi," she said glancing up at him for a second then noticing how unbelievably hot he was up close she turned her head and gushed.
"I'm Stefan," he said holding out his hand.
"Dana," she replied reaching out her hand to shake his. Then he turned her hand wrapping his soft fingers gentle around the tips of hers and kissed them. There was a dangerous glint in his eyes, but Dana couldn't look away.
"It's very nice to meet you Dana, would you like to go grab a bit with me?" Stefan laughed showing off his natural fangs.
"I have to finish this book for my English lit class. I'd love to catch up with you some other time," she said showing him the book cover. Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, how fucking perfect.
"They both met fell in love, became miserable, and die-the end," Stefan smiled at her.
"There's more to the story than that. They had the most amazing connection, something that was so instant and intense could never die," she dreamily said making Stefan want to kill her more. Saint!Stefan was never going to stop thinking about Andorra, and as long as that little nagging part of him keep holding on The Ripper was going to be caged.
"Come with me," Stefan said compelling the girl to follow him.
Damon was waiting for Bonnie to reply to one of his text messages. According to Caroline she was okay, but she needed a little space. They were apart for two days without any kind of contact that was her space. Bonnie was really pissing him off with her caring about other people and their feelings. It was a habit he couldn't wait to help her break. Who the hell cared about her stupid friend's feelings, and what they thought of him? He didn't.
"Damon," he heard his named. It was Andorra and she seemed worried.
Damon got up from his bed and ran to the library at vampire speed. "What happened?" he asked with an annoyed look on his face.
"A lot," she mumbled.
"Like?"
"I broke up with Stefan and I'm leaving."
Damon was taken aback by her. Why would she leave both Alexander and Stefan especially Stefan. "I don't get it I thought you were in love with my baby bro?"
"Sometimes love means letting go," she sighed.
"Oh please," Damon was tired of everyone's old love is patient, love is kind philosophies. Love was knowing you'd never be able to survive without that person by your side, and having them challenge you and change you. Love wasn't all misery and suffering.
"Look Damon I don't care if you want to blackmail Bonnie into loving you, suit yourself," she said making Damon let out a genuine laugh, "But what happens with me and Stefan is different."
"You were madly in love with someone else when Stefan fell for you right?"
"Let's not."
"You wanted to compare notes so let's. You and your sister fought over a guy for…wow how old are you?"
"Damon," she warned him.
"Your ex came worming his way back into your heart even though you tried to let him go, and there was no way you could give up Stefan. Then for the better meant of your relationship with your psychotic sister you let your ex go?" he questioned to make sure he got everything right.
"It's still different," Andorra said shaking her head.
Damon was sure she was shaking all the sense out. He gently grabbed her chin and made her look into his eyes. "And how might that be little sister?"
"We are two completely different people. I don't belong here and I can't just stay and pretend to be human for the rest of my life. I stopped hoping a long time ago."
Damon felt bad for Andorra she had been living for millennia and yet she never really lived at all. He could see how her captivity made her loss hope in everything, even love. "My brother cares about you and he'll do whatever it takes to make you happy. And I'd very much would appreciate it if you would stay and keep him sane."
"I'll always love Stefan, but I-I just can't. I thank you for your help and I'll miss you too," she smiled at him.
"Do we have to hug again?" he asked as he scrunched up his face.
"You know you liked it," she smiled up at him.
"If you tell someone that I'll find you," he warned as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Give this to Bonnie. I went by her place, but her dad said she wasn't home, and I know he's not the biggest fan of magic," she said manifesting an alabaster box out of thin air.
"I'll try, but she's difficult," Damon settled on.
"You're a lot to handle and not only was she just kidnapped by my sister, but she returned to her friends finding out about your relationship, if it is that."
"It is," he insisted. "What should I do?"
"Why not start with slowing down and letting Bonnie adjust to this. She's probably going to want Elena's blessing and it's going to be weird when all of you are together."
"Like after you slept with Stefan and slapped Elena," Damon smiled at the thought.
"Goodbye Damon," Andorra said and want on her way. "And please take care of Stefan he needs you."
Stefan was having the feast of his life. After he ripped Dana to shreds he found himself at a swinger party across town. He knew these bored, suburban, townies had some fun hiding somewhere, but he never imagined this. Stefan was watching a couple drink from each other and it was honestly pretty hot.
He and Andorra never got to share blood. Of course he'd drink from her, but he never got to do it while he fucked her. Stefan closed his eyes and imagined the feel of her body coming down on his as she rode him to oblivion. He missed the way her soft hand felt against the side of his face. He still had her sweet scent in his nose.
Stefan kicked over the table in front of him and charged out of the room. Stop thinking about her or so help me you'll regret it, The Ripper screamed to his counterpart.
You only let go because you loved her too, Saint!Stefan said.
I'm the part of you that can't feel so how is that possible? The Ripper snarled.
That's why you let go. You didn't want to love her but you did, still do. You can tell yourself all you want that you don't have feelings, but the truth is, you act this way so you don't have to feel, not because you can't. Saint!Stefan laughed.
The Ripper was tired and needed peace so he decided to take his date to go. He and this girl Alisha were walking into the boarding house when Andorra's scent hit him. She had been there and not that long ago. "Where have you been?" Damon asked as he came into the living room. "Who the hell is she?"
Damon examined the dark mocha hottie. She had deep grey eyes that were glossed over, obviously she was compelled. "Damn it Stefan she's been gone five minutes and you lose it."
"Don't talk to me," Stefan warned the last thing he needed was the big brother police on his ass.
Damon knew he'd probably turn his emotions off if he lost Bonnie forever. He was going to do something he would surely regret. "Try not to kill her," Damon smiled. Lexi was certainly turning in her grave, "Shouldn't let such a pretty face go to waste," Damon said as he got closer and examined the girl.
It didn't take long for Stefan to smell it. Damon has covered in Andorra's scent, but why. Stefan charged at his brother and pinned him down to the floor. "What did you do to her?" Stefan said his mind going a mile a minute. Damon never knew how to keep his hands off of Stefan's stuff. Andorra belonged to him!
"Get your crazy ass off of me before I forget you're my brother and I stake you," Damon growled.
"I'll kill you if you touched her," Stefan warned.
"Calm yourself little sis, Andorra just wanted a parting hug," Damon said as Stefan loosened his grip. Damon got up. "She came by to say goodbye and drop off something for Bonnie. I'm sorry."
"She really left," Stefan said not seeming to understand.
"Yeah," Damon said clapping his brother on the back. "I know it doesn't seem like it now, but you'll get over her and this. I'm here for you," Damon said trying to make some kind of connection with Stefan. When he saw the hopeful saintly glint in Stefan's eye he smiled. "Have fun I'll be back later. And seriously let's try to not kill her."
Bonnie was surprised that she made it all the way home without running into Damon. He called a couple of times, but she didn't bother to answer. Bonnie was making diner for her and her dad when there was a thumb on the floor above. That was her room she thought. Bonnie went up the stairs in a hurry and saw Damon searching for something. Then his glacial eyes looked up at her. "There you are," he growled.
"What do you want Damon?" Bonnie asked trying to seem unchanged by the death stare he was giving her.
"How dare you not answer me all day and then try to act like I'm crazy. You were just kidnapped for god knows what reason," Damon yelled at her.
"Forgive me for having a life that doesn't revolve around pleasing your every need," she yelled at him.
"Well maybe we should fix that," he smiled as he started to try and close the space between them.
"I can't deal with you right now, my dad is going to be home soon," Bonnie said backing away from him.
"Okay you've been acting weird far too long for it to go unaddressed, so spill please?" Damon asked sitting in her desk chair.
"There's nothing to spill," Bonnie said losing her nerve.
"Why won't you kiss me?" Damon asked getting up and invading her space.
"I'm not kissing anyone, so I'm not singling you out." She shrugged.
"Stop being cute, as much as I adore it, I like it when you're honest and need that right now," Damon smiled.
"You're in love with Elena, and I just want to move on," Bonnie said seeing a plethora of emotions marinate on Damon's face. First he was shocked, then angry, a little confused, and finally he settled on amused. "This isn't funny," she admitted.
"Oh it is," he laughed at her. "Do you honestly think I'd give this up for Elena, the girl that's been blowing me off for the turn of two years? Do you really think I need another lecture on how it's Stefan and it'll always be Stefan?"-
"Damon Stefan is in love with Andorra and Elena is a distant memory to him. He's not the same Stefan she loved before-this is your chance to be her first choice," Bonnie said as if this was the greatest news ever.
Damon looked unchanged as he studied his witch. "There's a hole in your plan," Damon smiled.
"Oh really, what?" She snorted at his high and mighty tone.
"Andorra's gone, and she wanted to see you. I couldn't find you so she left this in my care," Damon said giving a gold trimmed alabaster box and note. "She had to go back to Olympus because her daddy grounded her," he laughed.
"Is Stefan okay?" Bonnie asked.
"Define okay?" Damon smiled.
"You should be with him. He needs you," she smiled.
"Apparently here is where I need to be if you honestly think I'd want to be with Elena. How could you think a thing like that Bonnie? I thought we resolved this issue," Damon smiled thinking about the day they decided to go steady. "I thought I convinced you that you are and will always be the only girl for me. We could revisit that night if you'd like," he smiled peering down at her.
"I'll pass," Bonnie snorted. As she looked at the beautiful emerald green box.
"You believe me don't you?" Damon asked making her look him in the eye. Bonnie felt a flutter in her tummy and she needed space-a lot more than he was giving her.
"I-we are two different and this is wrong. I know Elena is in love with you and it's okay if you are. You should try her out and make sure before you try to make a commitment to me and us," Bonnie said.
"So we're over just like that?" Damon asked.
"I just need to know what I feel for you Damon I'm too close to know for sure," she admitted.
"And what is it you're unsure of?" He yelled.
"All I want to do when I see you…" Bonnie couldn't tell him that, Damon wasn't mature enough for this truth.
"I'm waiting," he yelled.
"All we are is physical and I need more, we're both worth more."
"I'm getting more from this relationship then I've gotten in my whole life and it just started. I love you and there's nothing you can do to change that."
"But what if I don't love you Damon, don't you want to be sure that the person you're investing all your love and time in loves you back?" Bonnie asked.
"You do," he said in a soft tone as he caressed her cheek. "You love me more than you know, I'm not going to let what we have go. Not for Elena, Stefan anyone," he promised.
"Leave me alone," Bonnie yelled. "I don't want to be with you. I don't love you, and I'll never love you. You've done nothing but hurt everyone I love and been unapologetic for it. What girl in her right mind would let that kind of chaos into her life? I deserve someone better Damon."
"I know that and I want to be that for you I can be that if you stop fighting me," he said through his teeth.
"And what happens to Elena? What do you do when she chooses you?"
"I'm not leaving your crazy ass so just stop being stupid. This is not going to be the end for us. Elena is going to get over herself and learn that the sun doesn't shine out of her ass."
"You think it does," she accused.
"Says the girl that died for her twice," Damon laughed. "Are you sure you're not trying to leave me for Elena," he asked with raised brows. "I'd respect that."
"Hahaha," she frowned even though she was laughing on the inside. "Go to her and be happy."
"I'm with her and I am," he said kissing Bonnie senseless. Bonnie was on the verge of losing her resolve when she thought of Andorra and Artemis. Once they had been close like she and Elena, and Alexander ripped that away from them. Bonnie couldn't go through life knowing she hurt Elena like that and she pushed Damon away. "And you still have that crazy look in your eye," Damon said beginning to loss his patience with Bonnie.
"Just ask her out and see how that goes. All I want is for you to try and be sure it's me when you're ready to choose," Bonnie urged.
"Only on one condition," Damon smiled. "Well two."
"I don't know why I'm asking but what?" she asked with a deep frown.
"If we still have sex, and no dating," he said the last part with narrowed eyes.
"Who am I going to date?" Bonnie asked.
"Baby Gilbert still has the hots for you, and we all know that thing with Rebekah and Matt isn't going to last long," he shrugged.
Bonnie wasn't going to dignify any of his nonsense with a response. "Please get out?" Bonnie begged.
"One, you didn't agree, and two, we haven't you know," he said with a wink.
"How are you going to sleep with me and woe Elena at the same time?" Bonnie questioned in awe of this man's audacity.
"According to you Elena did the same to me," he said trying to make her realize how stupid this was.
"Fine," Bonnie smiled.
"Great," he said going to kiss her.
Bonnie halted him with a finger pressed gently against his lips. "You two have to go out on a real date in public, before you get anything," She smiled.
"Someone is mighty full of themselves," Damon laughed.
"I know I'm right," she smiled.
Damon thought it over for a moment. "You'll have to rock my world," he smiled.
"I'm guessing that's a yes."
"Yep I'll see you tomorrow, bright and early. I don't want to mess breakfast with Jamie," Damon said as he took out is phone.
"How do you know Jamie's coming tomorrow?" Bonnie asked.
"I always chat with my future brother-in-law ever since you went missing and every witch I knew refused to help find you I had to call in reinforcements, and finding him was a lot easier than finding Abby," Damon laughed.
"You"-
He cut her off. "Hey Elena we're going out to dinner put on something short," Damon said and hung up. "You were
saying."
"She's not going just do that."
Damon smiled. Bonnie was already a little jealous and he hadn't even left yet. "Oh, you know Elena better than that," he smiled he walked over to her and kissed her forehead.
"I got a long night ahead of me, unless you'd like to reward me early," he said with wiggling his brow.
"Goodbye," she said showing him to the bedroom door.
"You have to tell me how beautiful I am and try to kiss me first."
"I will deep fry your brain if your"- and before she could finish her threat Damon was gone. Mostly because he wanted Bonnie to have some time alone to think about her mistake and miss him.
Damon and Elena walked in to the boarding house to see a trail of blood leading into the kitchen. They heard loud music and laughing too. "Is that Stefan?" Elena asked as they got closer and heard talking. Damon just glared at Elena. He knew she was in high school, but the girl dated his brother for two years she should be able to recognize his voice.
"Elena it's the plumber," Damon growled. "Brother," Damon said as he entered the kitchen. Stefan was being hand fed grapes by two compelled girls while a third showed off how flexible she was. Lucky son-of-a-bitch gets to have fun when he gets broken up with. I have to hang out with the grim ripper, Damon thought to himself. "Enjoying yourself?" Damon asked.
"Very much so," Stefan said winking at Elena.
"Why are you acting like this is okay?" Elena asked Damon.
"Maybe I should leave you two love birds alone," Stefan teased. Elena looked down for a moment with shame written on her face. "Look E, don't feel sorry for me, I'm happy you're happy, Damon's happy. We're like the Brady bunch," Stefan laughed.
"Stefan you're not happy and you know it. I'm sorry for my role in"-
"Elena stop acting like the world reveals around you. I've been alive for almost two hundred years I'm sure I can make a decision without it having to do with you. You don't know who I am when I'm not in love with you," he said causing the girl in question to glare at him.
"Ladies I hope you make it through the night," Damon said ready to call it a night. "Brother," he added with a smile as he led Elena out of the room.
"Damon we have to do something about him, he can't stay like this," Elena wined.
"He'll be fine I need you to do me a favor?" Damon asked.
"Are you serious? Stefan is in full ripper mode and you want a favor?" she yelled.
"Wow he was right we are the Brady Bunch all anyone cares about is Stefan, Stefan, Stefan, and I'm left playing Jan," Damon sighed. "Andorra left and my brother doesn't handle pain like a rational vampire would. He'll miss her for a couple of days, weeks, months, and then he'll wake up one day and realize that there's something better waiting for him," Damon said knowing that Stefan was going to be alright. "He needs to learn to control this part of himself if he wants to move on. You and Lexi aren't going to be able to save him every time he falls off."
"Trying is better than standing by and watching him hurt other people," Elena said taking out her phone.
"Who are you calling?" Damon asked.
"Bonnie and Caroline, maybe Alaric. We need to help him," she said unsure of how.
"Don't ever call Bonnie to fix another one of your messes, or to poke her nose in places it doesn't belong, or so help me I will ripe you to pieces," Damon warned with his eye piercing through her soul.
"You're that in love with her?" Elena asked.
"That's not your business but yes, yes I am," he admitted with no shame. "I guess I've always been intrigued by her, but now I see how much she means to me, and if you fuck this up I'll kill you without hesitation."
"I just want you guys to be happy, so please don't hurt her," Elena tried to warn him.
"I'm not and that's why you're going to tell her we went on a date, and it was the best time of your sad, and I mean, sad life."
"Why would I do that?" Elena asked.
"She thinks we're in love or something and she's trying to make me go out with you," Damon said as if it was the most absurd thing in the world.
"I'm not going to lie to my best friend."
"Well you can lie willingly or we could do this the easy way and I can compel your cooperation," Damon warned.
"You wouldn't dare," she yelled.
Damon was already tried of Elena and this waste of a day so he did it. He took the easy way out and compelled her. They really did go to dinner and they saw Matt and Rebekah thank god. He had never been so happy to see the quarterback in his life. "Elena we're dating. I took you out to dinner you had an amazing time then we came back to the boarding house and had ruff lusty sex and I rocked you're universe, than I took you home before Stefan got in and called you with his blessing. He also texted you telling you he's okay with us. Now go home," Damon said sending Elena on her way. "Like taking candy from a baby."
"If Bonnie knew you were cheating by compelling Elena what do you think she'd do? Stefan asked.
"It doesn't matter, because no one is going to tell her right?" he asked as he glared at his brother.
"There's no beef here," he wink.
"Good, I have a witch I have to see, and please try to pace your killings," Damon warned.
"It gets boring after a while," Stefan shrugged.
"I'm not moving out of this town so try harder."
