It was no use trying to pull the two fighting men away from each other. She almost got hit when she tried to do that. The room was a mess Damon was on the floor with Scott on top of him delivering powerful blows to his face but Damon blocked his face with his arms waiting for the right moment to turn the tables on Scott and it came sooner than he thought. Scott let his guard down for a second and that's when Damon got a grip on his neck and pushed him off of him with brutal force. He was on Scott in seconds.

Bonnie watched helplessly on in horror. "Their trying to kill each other." She said with wide eyes. Bonnie rushed over and took Damon by his shoulders but he was like a solid brick. Unmovable. "No Damon stop it."

"Get your hands of me your next!" He seethed with rage that twisted his handsome face into something ugly and menacingly.

Scott yelled. He started punching Damon back.

...and like a phantom out of the dark Damon was pulled off of Scott and held back in the far corner of the room. It was Jack holding Damon in a strong grip to keep him from killing Scott or Scott killing him.

"I'm going to kill you Scott! let me go Jack!" Damon yelled as blood dripped from his mouth.

"I would love to see you try again Damon. I'm not the kid you used to beat up and that you found out today. The hard way. I will gladly show you again." Scott said out of breath.

Stephen came in with wide eyes. He quickly took in the scene. The two bleeding men standing in opposite corners of the room chests heaving up and down glaring at each other. Bonnie near hysteria.

"What the hell?" Stephen asked. "Bonnie I'm sorry I couldn't come earlier I was waiting for a very important phone call. if I knew I would drop everything and came straight here. I'm sorry."

All Bonnie could do was smile grateful at Stephen.

"Bonnie? What happened in here? Look at the mess whose going to pay for all the damages! I don't know who was more confused, me or the girl at the reception desk when she saw me running through the doors of the hotel." Stella said in a high shrill voice as she made her way deeper into the room. Her eyes took in Damon's bloody face and Scott's bloody face.

"I called you here because I got a message from you saying that you want to meet me here and that its urgent." Bonnie said to Stella but deep down she knew Stella never send her that message.

"Bonnie I never send you that message. I was going to meet up with you and Kate later but I was going to call you guys first." Stella said and took Bonnie's hand.

"I know." Bonnie said and squeezed Stella's hand softly.

"I got a message from Stephen now I know it was not from him." Scott said and wipe the blood from his lip.

"Someone played you all. I mean who would do such a sick thing! And Scott I really hope you won the fight because Damon needs his ass kicked and yes I've said it out loud. He can't do shit to me not when my man have him in jaws of life where he belongs." Stella said and smiled gleefully at Damon.

Damon gave Stella a cold smirk. "Keep on gloating Stella we all know what happens to stuff pigs."

"That will be enough people we don't need to make this situation more explosive than it already is." Stephen said and looked at Stella.

"Look around Stephen something already exploded." Stella said and waved her hands around.

Jack took out his phone and showed something on it to Damon. Damon looked at the screen for a few seconds in silence. "You can let go of me." He said to Jack.

Stella took a step back and hid herself behind Bonnie when Jack released Damon.

"This needs to stop today, now. We can't go on living like this Damon. Bonnie will never cheat on you and Scott is my best friend he respects her and her marriage. Yes there was something between them but that was ages ago. We are all grown up with kids you have to let go brother or else your going to end up losing everything." Stephen said with eyes pleading at his brother to see reason.

"Amen to that." Stella said and quickly looked away when Damon glared at her.

"How would you feel if you find Caroline and Klause in a hotel room. In each others arms. Her looking up at him ever so lovingly with his arms around her tell me brother how would you feel." Damon said hard.

"And tell me brother how do you think Bonnie felt after she found out about Sierra? I don't think you are in any position to judge or to point a finger at her not after what you have done so I suggest you do good Damon before you lose everything you ever held dearly in your life ... starting with me." Stephen said with shiny eyes. He was serious. He was tired of cleaning up Damon's mess its taking a heavy toll on him.

"So be it Stephen. You never had my back anyway while I took the beatings." Damon said. He walked to the door and turned back to Bonnie. "Are you coming?"

"Bonnie I don't think its safe to go with him." Stella whispered. Her face pale with fear for Bonnie's sake.

"Jack will be there. I'll see you later." Bonnie said and walked to the door where Damon is waiting for her.

Scott also feared for Bonnie's safety he just hope that guy Jack will be able to keep Damon in control.

The Salvatore Home

When Zoe got home she heard the adorable sound of the twins crying out in laughter. She walked out and saw them in the pool with Alex. A happy smile light up her face. She took of her shoes and ran to the pool and without hesitating she jumped in splashing them with water.

Alex and the twins laughed out loud as her head break through the surface of the water. "Halloooo boys!" Zoe said with a adorable smile.

"Show off." Alex said with a smirk.

"I know." Zoe said and laughed when he splash her with water.

"Toffee look." Caden said excited and pointed his little finger at Aslan who was cautiously drinking water from the pool. Aslan's eyes wary of his surroundings.

"You know why a lion never cast his eyes down when he drinks water." Alex said.

"Enlighten me." Zoe said with a sweet smile.

"A true predator like Aslan never drops his guard down. He might be the mightiest animal in the kingdom but one never knows what hides deep down in the dark pits of the water." Alex said with a smirk.

"Like the nine headed Hydra from ancient Greece mythology? You can't scare me with that anymore I'm a big girl now." Zoe said with a bright smile.

Alex laughed softly. "I was talking about the elephant and the hippo Sunshine."

"I'm so glad you stayed for my little farewell party." Zoe said softly.

"Yeah me too." Alex said and looked at Aslan. He was afraid to look at Zoe. She was very observant and she could feel whenever he was upset or sad. This was her day and he didn't want to spoil it for her.

He watched her kiss the twins on their wet open mouths before she swim over to Aslan.

"I don't think you will get that cat in the water. Their afraid of getting their fur wet just like some women I know who are afraid to get their hair wet." Alex called out after her.

Zoe laughed out loud. "I am so going to tell Mom and Kenzie." She said to him over her shoulder.

"Twenty dollars to keep your little mouth shut Sunshine." Alex called out with a smirk.

"Twenty dollars and two new books and than we can call it a deal, big mouth." Zoe said. She stick out her tongue playfully at him.

Alex laughed softly. "You got yourself a deal.

Zoe turned back and showed him thumbs up. She turned back to Aslan who crouched and cautiously moved back watching the water with mistrust in his eyes. Zoe smiled at him.

"You've never seen this before right and so many of it." Zoe said and let her hand float gently through the water. "Its called water my precious Aslan. We all need it to survive. Humans and animals. There's an old saying that says, thousands have lived without love, not one without water." Zoe reached out her hand to Aslan and said softly. "Come to me don't be afraid."

Aslan looked at the water and back at her. Slowly very slowly he moved towards her still in a crouching position. Zoe wrapped her arms gently around him the minute he was fully in her arms. Aslan nestled his face against hers and licked her cheek.

Zoe cupped his head gently in her hands. She gazed deep into his golden eyes. "Don't be afraid I will never hurt you. Never." She put her hand in the water and scoop up some water. She put her hand in front of his mouth. Aslan immediately started to drink the water from her hand. "With water there is life. It covers two – thirds of the earth, water is what constitutes us little Aslan." Zoe said and scoop up more water. This time she let it drip down on his head. "Not only does it bring back life to this planet, but it also teaches us the realities of life." Zoe said and scoop up more water and let it flow over his face. Aslan did not try to move away from her. He felt safe and her soothing soft voice comforted him. "Water within itself contains the mix feeling in our hearts, which makes us relate to it in every step of our lives. The rush and anger in the waves of an ocean are like ups and downs we face every day, but in the end it touches the shore and kisses our feet, all our worries are gone and a sense of calm fills our souls little Aslan." Zoe said and smiled fondly at him. She picked him up in her arms and moved slowly back in the water.

Aslan moved nervously in her arms. He watched the water under him with sharpness. "Don't be afraid look at me. That's right look at me." Zoe said to him. She held him up like a little baby and lowered him slowly down. When Aslan's paws hit the water he pulled them back and whimpered.

"Look at me Aslan I'm water. I will not hurt you." She lowered him down gently and smiled softly when his lower body was completely under water. "Look at you Aslan my lion conquered the seven seas." She said and bowed her head to him. "My king I'm at your service. You get on my back and let us swim to that big Cyclops over there and go rescue your two princes." Zoe said and pointed at Alex and the twins who were watching the two of them the whole time in stunt silence.

Zoe helped Aslan on her back and together the two swim over to Alex and the twins. Aslan sitting proudly on Zoe's back with his head up like a true king.

"I can't believe this." Alex said and shook his head. The twins sitting on their floating beds clapped their hands excitedly.

"You better run Cyclops king Aslan is coming for you. You stole Caden and Aiden his two princes from him and now you will feel his mighty wrath." Zoe called out and screamed a warrior cry.

The two twins looked at Alex with wide eyes. "Ooh Alex is in trouble." Aiden said to him.

"You going to get it Alex." Caden said and pointed his finger at Alex with a serious cute face. "Aslan is going to eat you."

Alex was too stunned and amazed to even get a word out. Not even when the twins shot him with their water guns straight in the face.
