Leiska: Hey Hun, I've decided to update my story as a way to help me forget about HIM! It's worked a little bit, but I'm still hurt. Anyways, I try to make my stories different than what people expect by rereading my stories and thinking what the reviewers would think is going to happen, then I change it to something different. Hope to see another review soon? Love you to. ;)
Jez101: That's okay, review when you want to. I just haven't been in the mood to update my stories. Glad to know you still like this story. ;)
RoseWood1: Yeah, I'm so gorgeous that my boyfriend dumped me on Mother's Day. MEN! I'm turning lesbian because men are complete assholes! Glad to know that Daniel's growing on you, he's been growing on me too. Anyways hope to get a review from you soon? ;)
Thea101: Yeah, you do seem to be eating a lot when you review. Oh well! Sorry about that review I gave you for "Tangled" I don't think I put down how much I liked that chapter. If I didn't then I'm sorry, I really loved that chapter. Keep up the good work, and I'll see you in "The Next Generation of Daybreak" when I update it. I'm currently typing the next chapter out, and I'm doing another story to that series, it's based on Daybreak before the kids grew up. So look out for it, it's called "Princess of Darkness." ;)
Sad to say that this is the end of "Marie" not the character, but the story. I've put the Epilogue in this chapter as well because I made chapter 10 a little it short, so to make it longer, I stuck the Epilogue at the end. I would make chapter 10 longer, but I'm just not feeling too good. Anyways, thanks for the reviews. ;)
Part 10: Confrontations.
"You killed Isabelle?" I ask, more of a statement than a question.
"Yes. I killed her because you killed Liam. You killed my baby." Damara hisses, her expression turning savage.
"I killed you, why aren't you dead?" I point out.
"When you staked me, you narrowly missed my heart. The Original, Klaus, came and took me some place safe. He took care of me and nursed me back to health. So to speak." Damara replies dreamily. "So when I healed, I went looking for you. So that I would do the same thing to you, as you did with my Liam. It was 1888 by the time I found you in London, England. By that time, you had yourself a girlfriend, she never went out without your protection, except for one night. I influenced her to come out to feed by herself, and when she did, I drove a stake home. Right through her black little heart." Damara finishes with a sneer.
"I was going after you, but when Inspector Abberline came and broke the news that Isabelle was dead, you left before I had a chance to follow you. A hundred and some years later, I heard that Klaus's little…insane white kitten had come here, to Fells Church. She had been keeping an eye on your two brothers." At this, Damara looks at both Damon and Stefan. "Then I heard about the big Original himself coming here, your little floozy's friend took Klaus away somewhere. I watched Damon go into the woods, and that's where I found you! I knew I couldn't wait any longer, I saw that your dearly departed girlfriend had somehow been reincarnated, so I decided to kidnap her and your ex fiancé. And so here we are, and here you'll die along with your brothers, your lovers, and your friends."
Damara throws Daniel and Bonnie to the side and comes after me, Damara has never been any match for me, and the missing two centuries hasn't changed her. She lunges at me, but I sidestep her. We fight for about twenty minutes, in that time; I have a couple of broken ribs, and a sprained ankle. Damara on the other hand is lying almost dead.
Rule number one in fighting, never fight when you are fuelled on anger, it doesn't work. I walk over to Damara's mangled body and pull my samurai sword from my back, in one swish; I sever Damara's head. I reach down and pull off her lapis lazuli ring and put it in my pocket. I walk over to the remains of the crumbling wall, and sit down; I am hardly out of breath. Both Bonnie and Daniel come and sit on either side of me, Bonnie puts her head on my shoulder and in turn, I put my head on top of hers.
Damon, Stefan and the rest sit on either the ruined walls, or in Damon's case, perched on the open tomb of Honoria and Thomas Fell. The silence is bliss, until Damon breaks it.
"Who the hell was she, by the way?" he raises one elegant eyebrow at me.
"Some bitch I foolishly made into a vampire back in the early seventeen hundreds, when Daniel and I lived in County Galway in Ireland." I reply sighing. I stroke Bonnie's curls, she stirs a little, but she has fallen asleep. I must be more comfortable than I thought.
All of us wait until dawn before moving, as soon as the sun comes up, Damara's mangled and headless body burns to ash, as well as her head.
After that, we all pile into my jeep and I drive everyone to his or her own houses, and then take Damon, Stefan and Elena back to my mansion, where we all flop down on the furniture in my family room, and most of us fall asleep. Damon is the only one to remain awake.
Epilogue.
A very old friend came by today,
Coz he was telling everyone in town,
Of the love that he just found.
And Marie's the name, of his latest flame.
He talked and talked, and I heard him say,
That she had the longest, blackest hair,
The prettiest green eyes anywhere.
And Marie's the name, of his latest flame.
Though I smiled, the tears inside were a burnin',
I wished him luck, and then he said good-bye,
A he was gone, but still his words kept returnin',
What else was there for me to do, but cry?
Would you believe, that yesterday,
Thie girl was in my arms and swore to me,
She'd be mine eternally?
And Marie's the name, of his latest flame.
Though I smiled, the tears inside were a burnin',
I wished him luck, and then he said good-bye,

Would you believe, the yesterday,
This girl was in my arms, and swore to me,
She'd be mine eternally?
And Marie's the name, of his latest flame.
Yeah, Marie's the name, of his latest flame.
Oh, Marie's the name, of his latest flame.
Yeah, Marie's the name, of his latest flame.
I am listening to the sounds of the King himself, Mr. Elvis Presley. I have been a devoted fan for years, ever since he first came out back in the early nineteen hundreds. I had met him once or twice in person. Actually I have a photograph of him and me framed upstairs in my bedroom. It is my pride and joy; nobody is allowed to touch it, for I fear that someone might break it. My favourite song is Wooden Heart, next to that is the song playing five minutes ago, called "Marie's the name (latest flame)." Actually, Elvis sung that song for me.
I am downstairs in the family room, listening to Elvis blasting from my surround sound speakers. It is approximately three in the afternoon, the following day. Damon is sitting one of my many armchairs reading my Dracula book by Bram Stoker. Stefan and Elena are lying down on my three-seated couch, completely absorbed in each other.
Earlier on this morning I had visitors, they were, Bonnie, Meredith, Matt and Meredith's boyfriend, Alaric Saltzman. Alaric and Meredith are talking quietly to one another in a corner. Matt is in the game room playing air hockey with Daniel, and Bonnie is curled up in the loveseat she shares with me.
Wise man say, only fools rush in.
But I can't help, falling in love with you.
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
If I can't help falling in love with you.
I've always been a sucker for this song as well. I have bought all of Elvis's songs on CDs. I have them on records as well, but CDs are coming into fashion now. I also have a lot of Elvis merchandise as well. All of these things are worth hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. I visit Graceland frequently, it was the home of Elvis Presley, now it's a sort of museum, but other people prefer to call it a shrine to Elvis.
"What are you gonna do with Bonnie?" Stefan asks, turning his head so that it flops to the side of the couch.
"What do you mean?" I ask curiously.
"Are you going to continue to live here until Bonnie wants to leave, or…" he lets the sentence trail.
"What do you want to do Bonnie?" I ask my beloved redhead.
"I'll wait until I'm eighteen, which will be in a month's time. Then if it's okay, I'd like to move in here with you?" she sleepily replies.
"That's fine by me." I reply, giving her a peck on the forehead.
It's settled then. As soon as it comes to the end of July, Bonnie will move in with Daniel and me. Damon asked me this morning before everyone else woke up, if it was okay for him to stay too. Naturally I said yes, Stefan and Elena are staying here for a while, and then they say they need to be free of bad memories. So they'll be moving on sometime, but hopefully not anytime soon. I need to catch up with my twin.
Can't you see I love you?Please don't break my heart in two?
That's not hard to do, Coz I don't have a wooden heart.
And if you say good-bye
Then I know that I would cry,
Maybe I would die,
Coz I don't have a wooden heart.
There's no strings upon this love of mine,
It was always you from the start.
Treat me nice, treat me good,
Threat me like you really should,
Coz I'm not made of wood,
And I don't have a wooden heart.
(Continues in German)
There's no strings upon this love of mine,
It was always you from the start.
(Continues in German from "Treat me nice" until "coz I'm not made of wood.")
Coz I don't have a wooden heart.
The End.
