Damon stood by Matt's truck waiting for him to come out. As the minutes grew longer, be began to worry about his man. Matt has always been the first couple of kids to walk out of the school when the last bell rung. Damon thought it was kind of cute that Matt wanted to out of there and into his arms. But soon, the frenzy was over and everybody was either gone or at their after school activity.

"Where the hell is he?" Damon said nervously under his breath. He took the initiative and put one foot in front of the other and walked towards the entrance of the school. As he made it inside he turned on his vamp senses to see if he can smell Matt. Unfortunately, the smell only led him to Matt's locker.

Damon looked to see if anyone was looking before he broke into his locker and noticed that his coat and book bag was still sitting in there. Damon signed in relief. "Hopefully the quarterback got caught sleeping in class and he is in detention" Damon thought to himself smiling at how cute Matt is when he sleeps. But before he closed the locker, he caught a note with his name on it. as he went to pick it up, he heard a very familiar voice call his name.

"Damon? What the hell do you think you're doing?" Elena said annoyed by Damon's intrusiveness.

"Minding my own business little one" Damon said in response flashing his devilish smirk. "Shouldn't you be off cheerleading or some other ridiculously lame high school after school cliché activity?" Damon smirked at his last retort, he would remember to tell Matt that the next time he saw him. They would have a laugh riot.

"Is that why you like Matt, huh?" Elena said, pulling Damon out of his thoughts. "What is he? A nice change for you? Did Catherine and I ruin girls for you or something?"

Damon slammed the locker his patience already depleted from their short conversation. "What he is to me, Elena, is none of your damn business. My God, do you really think this is about you cause newsflash Elena it isn't?"

Elena took a step closer to Damon "when it comes to sweet lovable Matt, I don't take anything lightly. What do you want from him?"

Not that it was any of her business, but he could see where her concern came from. He was pining over a lost cause for over a century and wanted to get with her for a while. And in his hurt, he caused mass destruction that would make any sane person worry. But he loved Matt and didn't want anybody putting ideas in his head.

"Not that it any of your fucking business. But Me and Matt, that just happened. It wasn't planned nor did I think it was going to stick, but I am head over heels in love with him. And me standing here telling you this should show you how much Matt means to me.

Elena expression soften but she still wasn't fully convinced.

"Now that I have exposed myself to you, would you mind pointing me in the direction of where he is please" Damon decided being nicer would help end the conversation sooner and get to Matt quicker. Man had this boy changed the very nature of this vampire.

"Wait, I thought he was you. He hasn't been to any classes today" Elena said confused.

Damon's heart sunk to his feet when Elena said that. "Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit!" Damon thought to himself. He then remembered the note that was left in Matt's locker. He quickly opened it again and grabbed the note that was ever so nicely written for him- wait, Matt has terrible handwriting.

Dear Damon,

You took someone that was extremely important to me and now I have done the same to you. But trust, his death will not be as quick as my bother's. no, it will be drawn out to the fullest extent. And as he being put through hell, he will know why. He will know it is all because of you and will die hating your very existence.

Yours Truly, Kol

Damon's expression turned dark and before he had a chance to do anything, Stefan was by his side.

"What's going on Damon, Elena texted me and told me something was up with Matt? All Damon did was show Stefan the note.

"Oh my God Damon, don't worry. We will get him back."

Stefan decide to drive Damon back to the mansion in Matt's truck. He didn't want to leave him alone, he never seen Damon in such a state of shock, it was disturbing.

"Chocolate chip pancakes" Damon said surprising Stefan with the randomness. He must be worst than he thought

"What was that buddy?" Stefan asked not wanting to push Damon over the edge he was so clearly dangling off from.

"Matt wanted chocolate chip pancakes this morning, he was craving them" Damon said smiling at the not so distance memory. Stefan just stood there listening hoping this will take Damon out of his hopelessness state he was in.

"You see, last night was our first time, you know, doing it and let me say it was amazing. Better than any other person I have been with. I woke up this morning next to this amazing guy who allowed me to share this with him and all he wanted pancakes. But I said we couldn't because he had school." the smile that was holding Damon's face together fell and now unrelenting guilt, pain and anger filled its place. "Never again will I deny him anything. If I get him back, I will give him everything he wants."

Stefan then knew that this was different and that Matt was here to stay. He grabbed Damon's shoulder and hope his comfort will help. It than dawn on him that if something did happen to Matt, Damon will go over the deep end, and nothing will bring him back from that.

"Hopefully Rick and Bonnie has a plan. Bonnie texted that they have already made it to the house"

Soon after that they reach they were face to face with said guest in a matter of seconds.

"Damon before we start, you can't kill Kol" Rick pointed out.

"They took him Rick. Someone's dying tonight" Damon clapped back in response to Rick's proclamation.

"He right Damon, we need a smart plan that won't end in your death." Stefan said calmly. He needed Damon to think rationally. "Otherwise saving Matt would be for nothing."

"Ok. Fine. So what do we do?" Damon asked ready for there to be action.

Matt was sitting in a park. A very familiar park. One that he used to go to when he was young. He looked down and notice a pair of light up power ranger sneakers. He loved them. He also noticed that his man legs were replaced by those of a toddler. In fact, he noticed that he was sitting in someone's lap. As he turned around, he took in a this very masculine man, with the same blonde hair and baby blue eyes he had. And suddenly he knew

"Daddy?!"

"Come on son, are you going to sit here all day or are we going to have some fun at this place" Matt's dad playfully ticked him as they both stood and ran to the slides. Matt was 5 years old and was totally enjoying his bliss that was his father.

But soon all the happy went away and soon fear took over. There were three men that towered over his father and were reaching a hand out for him but his dad was able to keep them at bay... but he couldn't see with what.

"Daddy! I'm scared"

"It's ok Matt. Run! I'll be ok."

As Matt began to run he found himself bound and now everything was coming back into focus.

"That's quite a memory you have there mate." Kol said sitting in a chair across from him. "Now I see why Damon is so appealing to you, he can totally take care of some very pressing daddy issues you have" Kol said laughing to himself.

"Go to hell you bastard" Matt realized that both is hands and feet were tied to a chair and he was going nowhere anytime soon. "you vampires are sick for going into people's head like that."

Kol cool composure left and rage took over "No what sick is your lover doing whatever he wants and getting away with it. No. Not anymore. My brother lets him live while I've seen him kill better people for lesser crimes"

"If you as so much-" Kol vamp speed to the back of Matt's chair and pulled on his gorgeous blonde locks until Matt saw red. "You do not have a say in what goes on anymore and it will be foolish for you to make threats in your current position mate." "Now" Kol let go of his hair, fixed the creases in his shirt and went back to his seat. "Tell me what you are and don't you dear think of lying to me"

"Are you sure Jeremy can do this? Damon asked Bonnie as he was loading up the car to go get his guy.

"Yes, he was literally born to do this." Bonnie said hoping to relieve some of his fear.

"I know that, but he's use to going up against regular vampire, not extra old original scum" Damon clapped back.

"That's why he's got you and Stefan to back him up"

"If anything happens to matt, I don't know what I'll do" Damon said letting his fear getting the best of him again

Bonnie grabbed Damon's hand and looked into his eyes to comfort him

"You'll get him back Damon, I can feel it."

Stefan and Jeremy came out and were coming towards the car.

"Alright Damon, let's rock and roll." Jeremy was over the moon to finally go out into the field and show what his is really made of.

Matt looked back on that repressed memory. The actual worst day of his life. his dad went missing and never showing up again. He just thought he left and started a new life but now he wasn't too sure. Those men were not human Matt knew that for sure, but he also knew he felt a strong connection to them

"Penny for your thoughts mate" Kol asked as he poured himself a drink from Klaus's finest scotch.

Matt decided to ignore Kol. He was not to happy with him or what he was doing to him. He just glared back at him.

"Wow if looks could kill" Kol said in amusement. "but you know, I could make you feel pain, excruciating, agonizing pain that would make you want death. But I'm guessing you don't want that mate" Kol giggling

"We're. Not. Mates" Matt said through clutched teeth. He hoped that his angry could cover up the deafening fear he had.

"He's right you know; you are not his mate" Jeremy said from the entrance. Matt felt a combination of relief and fear. He was happy that someone came, but what could Jeremy do against… well any vampire.

"Jeremy it would be best if you left before you get yourself eaten" Kol warned.

"I don't see that happening tonight" Jeremy retorted and with that he through a stake at his shoulder making Kol tumble over. Jeremy ran to Kol who had manage to pull the stake out and throw it across the room. They were now in a battle and Matt couldn't believe that he was able to keep up. Soon after Stefan vamped speed his way in and was loosing the rope.

"Hey Matt, sorry for taking so long" Stefan saw the blank expression on matt's face "What? Not the brother you wanted to see?"

Matt giggled at Stefan's accusation "just get me out of here please. But before Stefan had the chance to untie Matt's legs Kol grabbed a hold of his neck, snapped it and threw him across the room through a wall.

"Come on Matt, it's rude to leave without telling the host first. You need to be punished for that" As Kol raised a hand to Matt, was Damon was there to grab his hand. "You will never raise a hand to him ever again"

And with that, Damon was able to dislocate his shoulder and throw him away from matt.

Matt had never felt so much pride than he did now. watching his man take care of him was something he really loved. Maybe he did have unresolved daddy issues. But there was no time to think about that now. He had not managed to get his feet untied and it didn't help that Kol wasn't staying down.

Soon, Kol had managed to knock Jeremy unconscious, Stefan was still out of it and he and Damon were still going at it. but soon Kol's strength and speed prove to be too much for him and now Damon was taking a huge beating.

"You must really love this kid mate. I'm over 9 times your age and you are still putting up a fight." Kol said delivering blow after blow to Damon's face and abdomen.

"I will fight for him for the rest of my life you creep" Damon said weakly not really feeling the severity of his injuries. Matt was totally worth a few broken ribs and a bruises.

Damon wanted to believe that that was the most of the damage but deep dwon he knoew it was way worst than that.

Kol merely snorted as he was able to fling Damon on his back with little effort and grabbed one of the many stakes that were all over the floor.

"Maybe I got it all wrong. The best revenge might be for Matty over there to see me end the life of a man that truly loved him. I'm sure he will never get what you gave him again. As Kol pulled his hand up, Damon tried with all his strength to stop the stake from entering his chest. But he knew that he wasn't going to win, but only delay the inevitable.

"Matt I love you ok and I'm so sorry for putting you through this" Damon was able to crock out in-between breaths as he tried so desperate to keep the stake from his body, but he saw that the space between him and the stake was closing in.

Matt felt tears slide don his face. "No! Kol please stop! I beg you! Jeremy, Stefan, someone help!"

"Oh Matt, it's no use they can't help and your boyfriend is more worry about comforting you than saving his own life. it's quite sweet actually. I don't think you'll ever find anything this special again."

Matt closed his eyes and felt fear. He was so sick and tied of feeling this useless emotion. So he reached beneath his fear and felt something that he has never felt before: power

The repressed memory of seeing his father last fueled this surge of energy he was feeling.

"Get off of my boyfriend now!" Matt raised his hand and the stake that Kol was holding flew out of his hand and into the wall. Matt then flicked his wrist and sent Kol flying out of the window across the field leaving him unconscious.

Damon just looked at Matt is awe, fear, and total pride.

"That was… hot" Damon was able to muster up. "Matt. What are you?" Damon asked but before Matt could answer the weight of what he did hit him and he succumbed to the darkness that was becoming all to familiar to him.

Wow! Didn't see that coming! Please review. Thanks.
