Damon's POV
I had almost forgotten how beautiful Italy is. The Volterra Castle was ancient, but it added to the beauty of it.
Spending time with Jane there was just what I needed. Princess doesn't know it yet, but the King's and some of the guard are thinking about branching out.
They don't want me to tell her and it's going to be really hard not to. I don't usually keep things from her. We've been best friends for years and we've never kept anything from each other, no matter how big or small.
I think that what the King's are planning is a brilliant idea though. They want to wait until she and her soulmate, Matt get married to do it. Which I actually know when the little jock plans on proposing to her.
From what he and Charlie told me, he had asked him, Stefan, me and all her godfather's permission. Even the King's. We all know it won't happen right away since they're still in school. Matt just wanted our blessing beforehand. Which I highly respect of the punk.
Don't get me wrong, the kid has grown on me, and sure I've flirted with Bella in the past. She's like a sister to me now though. One I've sworn to protect since I first met her.
She's the only person that never judged me about who or what I was. And the fact she's scarier than even the Mikaelson's says something. And believe it or not, I know that Matt can handle her. I know how much he loves her. Even a blind man can see it.
The only person I don't think would be too happy about the proposal is Klaus. I can tell how in love he is with Bell's. But I also could see that since Hayley came around, that love is slowly turning onto her.
It makes sense. Klaus was born from werewolves, as was Hayley. They're not like Shape-shifters, where they will just imprint on each other. They will just be able to see inside each other's hearts and realize they belong together.
Enough about that, I'm almost passing the Mystic Falls sign. Time to call Princess.
I pull out my phone and hit the speed dial. She answers immediately.
"Hey, Day! Are you here yet? I can't wait to see you!"
"I just passed the Mystic Falls sign principessa. I'll be home in a few minutes." I laughed.
"Oh my gosh! I gotta get ready! I love you Day! See you soon!"
She hung up. It makes me so happy to come home to see her and my little brother. I've missed them. Granted, it was nice to spend time with Janie for a little bit. I can't wait until we're all together again.
Pulling into the drive, I see Stef is home. So I park the Camaro and hop out, closing the door behind me.
I walk inside and see Stefan in the parlor, writing in his journal.
"Hey, little brother. What are you doing?"
He looks up and smiles at me.
"Hey Damon. Just the usual."
He gets up and walks to me and we hug each other.
"Welcome home, brother." he says.
"Thanks man. I'm going to go unpack and get ready to go find Bell's. I figured she would have been here by now."
I walked up to my room and unpacked my things. Stripped out of my clothes to go take a shower.
Fifteen minutes later, I go back down to the Parlor and Stef has his keys in hand.
"I'll drive. Besides, I want to spend some time with my brother, too."
I smiled at that and nodded my head. We headed out the door and climbed into his Porsche.
He back out and made his way to wherever principessa will be. I feel like he knows exactly where she is and something is about to go down.
After about ten minutes, we pull up to the Lockwood's. I figured she'd still be home. Probably pack duties, being Luna and all.
We hopped out and walked up to the front door. Since we've had permission, we just walked straight in.
I didn't hear any heartbeats, so either Bella has her shield up or she's not in here. Still I continue to follow bunny muncher.
He led me to the entertainment room. Hmm.
We stopped at the door and I opened the door.
Here goes nothing...
Bella's POV (Starts after the phone call)
I just hung up with Damon. So I hurried up and finished eating with everyone, since they were all here for Day.
We all cleaned the kitchen and dining room and headed to the entertainment room to make sure everything was still perfect.
Damon and Stefan should be here in a few minutes. My phone starts beeping, indicating I have a text.
Damon is unpacking and getting ready now. We'll be there in about fifteen minutes. -Stef
"All right guys, we have about fifteen minutes until they get here. I'll throw my shield up so Damon can't hear or smell us." I announced.
We all sat and talked together, just waiting. I'm sitting in Matt's lap, stealing kisses every now and then.
Finally, we hear Stefan pull into the driveway. I listen as the car doors open and close and they make their way inside.
As they get closer, I practically vibrate with excitement. I'm sure Matty is just loving that.
The door opens and we all stand up and yell "Surprise!"
The look on Damon's face is well worth it. I run to him and tackle him with a wolf hug. Get it? Because I transform into a wolf. Ha ha.
"Welcome Home, Day! I missed you so much!" I squealed as I pulled away from him.
"I missed you, too, Princess. You didn't have to do this. However, I see there's a lot of bourbon and our friends. Let me guess. Charlie said we can't get too crazy?"
"I did have to and I wanted to. And yes, he said that. But we all know how crazy you can get. Dad even knows." I laughed.
"Well thank you, Bells. So, what are we doing first? And I better get lots of bourbon. I'll try to not get too crazy. No promises."
"You pick, it's your Welcome Home party." I smiled.
"Hmm. How about we get started on shots. Can't have a party without being buzzed first."
We all laughed and everyone chose their liquor. Damon, Stefan and I got Bourbon, of course, and the others got whatever they wanted.
We did a few shots, enough to get a little buzz, well some of us. I got up and walked to the karaoke machine and put the first song on on the setlist.
It was one of Damon's favorites.
Monster by Skillet.
The secret side of me, I never let you see
I keep it caged but I can't control it
So stay away from me, the beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it
It's scratching on the walls, in the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
My secret side I keep hid under lock and key
I keep it caged but I can't control it
'Cause if I let him out he'll tear me up, break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
It's hiding in the dark, it's teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me, it wants my soul, it wants my heart
No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream
Maybe it's inside of me, stop this monster
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I've gotta lose control, here's something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
The song ended and I had Damon join me on stage for the next one.
It's Scream by Janet and Michael Jackson
Tired of injustice
Tired of the schemes
Lies are disgusted
So what does it mean
Kicking me down
I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks, damnit
Peek in the shadow
Come into the light
You tell me I'm wrong
Then you better prove you're right
You're sellin' out souls but
I care about mine
I've got to get stronger
And I won't give up the fight
With such confusions don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize
Somebody please have mercy
'Cause I just can't take it
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me, make me wanna scream
Tired of you tellin' the story your way
It's causin' confusion
You think it's okay
You keep changin' the rules
While I keep playin' the game
I can't take it much longer
I think I might go insane
With such confusion don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme
You find your pleasure scandalizin' every lie
Oh father, please have mercy 'cause
I just can't take it
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' with me
Stop fuckin' with me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' with me
Stop fuckin' with me, make me wanna scream
"Oh my God, can't believe what I saw
As I turned on the TV, this evening
I was disgusted by all the injustice
All the injustice"
"All the injustice"
"A man has been brutally beaten to death by
Police after being wrongly identified as a
Robbery suspect. The man was
An 18 year old black male..."
With such collusions don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize' within the scheme
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize
Oh brother please have mercy
'Cause I just can't take it
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' with me
Stop fuckin' with me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' with me
Stop fuckin' with me, make me wanna scream
The song finished and Damon and I were swearing from all the dancing and singing. It was great. We always loved the music video and we'd dance and sing along with them.
We hopped off the stage and Caroline got up to do the next song. I let her pick it yesterday.
It's a perfect song for her and she's got just the voice for it.
It's Fighter by Christina Aguilera
After all you put me through
You'd think I'd despise you
But in the end, I wanna thank you
'Cause you made me that much stronger
Well, I thought I knew you
Thinkin' that you were true
Guess I, I couldn't trust, called your bluff
Time is up 'cause I've had enough
You were there by my side
Always down for the ride
But your joy ride just came down in flames
'Cause your greed sold me out in shame
After all of the stealing and cheatin'
You probably think that I hold resentment for you
But uh-uh, oh no, you're wrong
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah ohh
Never saw it coming
All of your backstabbing
Just so you could cash in on a good thing
Before I realized your game
I heard you're goin' 'round playin' the victim now
But don't even begin feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave
After all of the fights and the lies
Guess you're wanting to hold me
But that won't work anymore (no more, aha, it's over)
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust, so cruel?
Could only see the good in you
Pretended not to see the truth
You tried to hide your lies
Disguise yourself through living in denial
But in the end you'll see, you won't stop me
I am a fighter and I (I'm a fighter)
I ain't gon' stop (I ain't gonna stop)
There is no turning back
I've had enough
Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder (oh)
It makes me that much wiser (oh yeah, oh yeah)
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster (yeah)
Made my skin a little bit thicker (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Makes me that much smarter (yeah)
So thanks for making me a fighter (Fighter)
You thought I would forget but I, I remembered (ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Cause I remembered (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I remembered
You thought I would forget (ooh-ooh)
I remembered (ooh-ooh)
'Cause I remembered (ooh)
I remembered
Makes me that much stronger (ooh-ooh)
Makes me work a little bit harder (ooh-ooh)
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter
I got off Matty's lap and we all clapped for Care.
"Get it, Care Bear! Ooh, us girls should sing the next song!" I squealed excitedly.
We got up on stage and I put the next song on.
It's Express by Christina Aguilera on Burlesque
It's a cold and crazy world that's raging outside
Well baby, me and all my girls are bringing on the fire
Show a little leg, got to shimmy your chest
It's a life, it's a style, it's a need, it's burlesque
E-X-P-R-E-S-S
Love, sex, ladies, no regrets
E-X-P-R-E-S-S
Love, sex, ladies, no regrets
Been holding down for quite some time
And finally the moment's right
I love to make the people stare
They know I got that certain savoir-faire
Fasten up, can you imagine what would happen
If I let you close enough to touch?
Step into the fantasy, you'll never wanna leave
Baby, that's guaranteed, why?
It's a passion and emotion
It's a fashion, burlesque
It'll move you, going through you
Do what I do, burlesque
All ladies come to flaunt it
Boys, throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it?
It's burlesque, burlesque, burlesque
I tease 'em 'til they're on the edge
They screaming more for more and more they beg
I know it's me they come to see
My pleasure brings them to their knees
Fasten up, can you imagine what would happen
If I let you close enough to touch?
Step into the fantasy, you'll never wanna leave
Baby, that's guaranteed, why?
It's a passion and emotion
It's a fashion, burlesque
It'll move you, going through you
Do what I do, burlesque
All ladies come to flaunt it
Boys, throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it?
It's burlesque, burlesque, burlesque
Burlesque, burlesque, burlesque, burlesque

All ladies come to flaunt it
Boys, throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it?
It's burlesque, burlesque, burlesque
Burlesque, burlesque, burlesque, burlesque
Right now, we're breathing all heavy and sweating from performing. Our guys are looking at us with lust filled eyes, while the others jaws are practically on the floor.
We hop off the stage and tell the guys to continue with the party while we go freshen up.
I take the girls to my room and we get different outfits out of my closet. We take turns taking a quick shower and make our way back to the guys.
When we get in there, Matty and Tyler are on stage getting ready for the next song. So, I plop my self on Damon's lap.
The song When the Sun Goes Down by Kenny Chesney and Uncle Kracker starts.
Suntan toes ticklin' the sand
Cold drink chillin' in my right hand
Watchin' you sleep in the evenin' light
Restin' up for a long, long night
'Cause when the sun goes down we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down yeah
All day long just takin' it easy
Layin' in a hammock where it's nice 'n breezy
Sleepin' off the night before
'Cause when the sun goes down we'll be back for more
When the sun goes down we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
This old guitar and my dark sunglasses
This sweet concoction is smooth as molasses
Nothin' to do, but breathe all day
Until the big moon rises and it's time to play
When the sun goes down we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down we'll be feelin' alright, when the sun sinks down (sinks down) over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
Yeah
When the sun goes down we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down we feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
She thinks Cracker's sexy when the sun goes down
Uuh uuh uuh, we'll be feelin' alright
When the sun sinks down over the water
Uncle Kenny's hotter when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down we'll be groovin'
When the sun goes down hey Uncle Kenny when the sun goes down
Over the water
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down
Matty stayed on stage while Ty made his way to Care Bear. Matt beckoned me to get up with him, so I kissed Day's cheek and skipped my way up with my man.
The next song was (I've Had) The Time of My Life by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes
Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I owe it all to you
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight"
(Stay with me) Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
But I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched though every open door
Till I found the truth
And I owe it all to you...
The song ended and Matty and I kissed until someone cleared their throat. We pulled away and hopped of stage together.
"All right guys, now what?" I asked.
"Now, we do more shots and then go get ready for later. The bonfire starts in about two hour. We should order food from the Grill. They should have enough time til the bonfire starts." replied Sam.
"Great. Then let's go on and place our order, then Matty and I can take the truck to go get it. I'm not making Vick haul all that here."
I pulled out my phone after asking everyone what they wanted and placed the humongous order and told them we'd come pick it up. They said it'll be done by the time we needed it. Thank the spirits.
We all did more shots while Day told us about his trip to Volterra and everything that happened. We told him what we had been up to.
I told him about summoning Crowley and how the Winchester's are still searching for Lilith. But that I was glad he was great, considering everything.
Pretty soon, Vick called to let us know to start heading to the Grill to pick up our order. Pauly decided to ride with us to protect his Luna and her soulmate. Ugh. It's fine. I appreciate my pack brother's.
We pulled up to the Grill, we hopped out of the truck and made our way inside. I spotted Vick right away and ran up to her.
"Hey big sister! Thanks so much for dinner. Wish you could have been at the party. We've been doing shots and Karaoke all day. It had been a blast!"
She laughed and we hugged.
"Glad you guys are having fun. We can always do another party later on, maybe even here at the Grill." she suggested.
I nodded, smiling happily with the idea. The guys and I grabbed the food, paid and made our way back to the truck after telling Vick we would see her later.
On our way back to the Manor, we passed Klaus and I honked the horn at him. He turned around to follow us.
We pulled into the driveway, Nik right behind us. We got out of the truck and I ran up to the Original Hybrid.
"Hello, Nik. Want to join us for the bonfire? Day came home earlier and we had a party. Which you guys didn't come to." I pouted.
He smiled and hugged me, so I hugged him back.
"We would have, but you know I have things going on. Besides, it would have gotten too crowded in there. However, we shall join you for the bonfire. I'll call the others. I'm sure Kol and Rebekah would love to join."
"Great. Get to it Nik. We'll meet you guys out back."
We hugged again and I headed out to where the guys were still gathering wood while we placed the food on the tables.
"All right ladies and gentlemen. The Originals will be here shortly." I announced to my friends and family.
We finished helping set up the bonfire and the Mikaelson's made it just in time. Bekah and Kol tackled me as soon as they spotted me.
"Get up, you fuckers! You're too heavy!" I laughed.
They laughed with me and pulled me up.
"Glad you guys could make it. There should be plenty food on the tables and plenty seats around the fire."
We all got our food and made our way to our seats, I sat on Matt's lap in between Damon and Stefan. Bekah sat on Stefan's. Care sat on Ty's. And Bon sat on Jers.
While we were eating my phone started vibrating. I pulled it out and checked the ID. It was Dean, so I put it on speaker phone.
"Hello, old man. How can I help you?" I joked.
"Bells. I am not old. I'm only 35. Anyway. I'm calling to let you know that we found Lilith. The demon bitch attacked us but Crowley and Cas helped us get her into the bunker.
We knew you'd kick our asses if we didn't let you know. So we're going to get some information out of her before Crowley drags her down to hell."
"Fantastic. About damn time. Wish I was there to torture the bitch. But then again, Crowley told me she'd be taken care of. Also, I didn't want to harm the person she's possessing."
"Trust me, I know. We'll get what we need out of her. Like I said, we just wanted to let you know. We love you Hells Bells, we'll talk later."
"I love you guys too. Stay safe or I'll kill you myself and have Cas bring you back." I threatened.
"Yeah, yeah. We know."
We hung up and I finished eating. Then I noticed everyone staring at me.
"What?"
"You're just scarier than I am, love. I never thought it would be possible." explained Nik. Everyone nodded in agreement. I smiled innocently.
"Now, Nik. Is the big bad hybrid scared of lil ole me?" I mocked, jokingly.
"Maybe a little. But if word gets out. My image will be ruined."
"Eh. I'd never tell anyone. Besides. I'm almost as popular as you. Some say we're almost equally terrifying. I just don't see it." I shrugged.
We all dispersed into different conversations. Just enjoying the night as a big family. I alternated between Matt and Damon's laps so I could spend equal time with them.
Around midnight, the fire died out and we threw all the trash away. Everyone said their goodnight and headed home.
Matt decided to stay the night with me, so we made our way up to my room to take a shower together and get ready for bed.
A half hour later we're laying down, cuddling. My head laying on his chest as he runs his fingers through my hair.
"I love you, baby. Today was great, especially spending it with you."
"I love you, too, babe. Thanks for helping. I know Day can be a headache sometimes. But he's like a big brother to me. Just like Stef is like a little brother. I can't imagine life without them in it."
"I imagine they can't either, babe. And neither can I. You're the best thing to ever happen to me. I've loved you since we were kids.
Ever since we could walk, I remember we would spend the most time together along with Ty. We did everything together. We even held hands when we slept on our toddler beds.
I've been doing a lot of thinking. About the past. Our present and future. Even when you weren't hear, we'd talk all the time, then you came back and it was like you never left.
You've always been there for me through thick and thin. I know in the beginning, Ty shared the same affection with you as I had. We use to tell each other that no matter who you chose, if it were ever either of us, we'd still be the best of friends.
Even though Tyler has Caroline now, that doesn't change how much you mean to him. It just changed the feelings of love to a sibling kind of love.
For me, I don't think I would have ever seen you as a sister. You're beautiful, smart, funny, brave and just the most amazing woman I've ever known.
One day, I want us to get married, have kids and have a life together. I know we'll have our ups and downs, but we can and will get through anything life throws at us."
I was crying happily as he said all those sweet things. He truly is the best thing to ever happen to me.
"You mean the world to me, Matty. I couldn't live without you even if I tried. I've always love you. When we were three years old, I remember when Elena knocked me down because I wouldn't play with her.
You walked up to me, grabbed my hand and said, "It's okay, Bell. You can play with me and Tyler. Mommy got us some toy guns so we can play Cops and Robbers".
From that day, I knew I needed you. As we grew up, I continued to love you even deeper. Then my mom took me away and the worst goodbye was with you. I felt like I would die if I couldn't see you everyday.
When I can back, I was actually scared. I didn't know if you felt the same way. I know we were always the closest, even closer than we were with Ty. I was just scared to take that chance.
Then the night we had dinner at your house and you walked me outside. You asked me to be your girlfriend. I was terrified at first. Then I realized you were worth the risk. And that was the best decision I ever made.
I love you, Matt Donovan. You make me feel like I can breathe. Like as long as we're together, I can do anything. I'm stronger with you. Happier with you. If I ever lost you, I'd never make it. You're the other half of my soul.
And when the time comes, I will say Yes. Then I would love to start our family. And share the love with our children. I want everything with you."
We cried happily together, kissing and holding each other. Then spent the rest of the night, make the best passionate love with each other.
