Hi Everyone I'm sorry this took so long. I have been through a lot this year, my mom passed away in April from cancer and I've just been trying to cope with it. I just started writing again and I'm super excited to finish this and The Family Business. Thanks guys for reading.


Damon felt kisses trail down his torso and halt at his happy place. He knew those soft lips better then he knew his own. He loved the way she explored his body. The way her hands softly glided across every inch of him and how her warmth hummed above his skin.

Damon knew she just want to feel him, he knew her intention were pure, but the need that was steadily building between his legs was becoming too great to ignore. As if reading his mind her lips wrapped around the tip of his desire and she started her slow seduction. She worked her head up and down. Her tongue luring his seed from his loins.

Damon cursed as she stopped and scaled up his body. Her wet mound hovered above his hips as she passionately kissed his lips. Damon pulled her hips down on his. When she pulled away he cried out. "I need your,"-

She cut his protest off with another kiss. She teased his member by straddling it. She kissed his neck and Damon groaned. Bonnie took his member in her hand and slowly sunk down. She arched her back and worked her hips in a slow circle before bouncing on him.

Damon loved the way she worked him over. This was more than the slow rhythm they used the first time. She knew everything he like and just how to make his toes curl. At the moment he was holding on to the sheets bargaining with God for his life. Bonnie sped up feeling her end approaching. And Damon thought he'd lose his mind.

"Baby yes," she cried out as she collapsed on top of Damon.

Damon held on to her hips and worked himself to completion. He lay in bed with Bonnie snug against him. That was the most at pace he ever felt, then a muffled cry came through the baby monitor.

"That was fun while it lasted," he opened his eye to see Bonnie gazing up at him. Something about the look in her eyes was off, but in a good way. "You okay?"

"Yeah," she smiled as she kissed him. The crying got louder. "I think you should go."

"I'm at the mercy of a two-year-old," he groaned.

"Life could always be worse," Bonnie said as he left the room.

Damon walked through the hall to his little girl's room. Sarah was crying uncontrollably, now. When she screamed the tree outside her window tapped the window seal and things crashed around her room. Damon watched as her lamp went flying against the window and glass shattered everywhere. The lamp seemed to explode on impact. Damon sped in the room and ran Sarah out. "Bonnie," he called.

Bonnie came into the hall just as Sarah vamped out. Her fangs grew and she growled. "Shit," Damon said as he raced her down the stairs. He opened a blood bag and poured it into a sippycup. He gave it to Sarah and gently rocked her.

Bonnie entered the room with her eyes wide. "At least we know when she's hungry for blood," he said making light of the situation.

Bonnie looked at the pair unable to think. "What's wrong with my baby? How did you move like that?"

"Shelia's spell might have a time stamp we didn't know about. She has never feed before so it only makes sense," Damon shrugged.

"What are you talking about?" she demanded.

"The suppression spell!" The terrified gaze in Bonnie's eyes alerted him to a bigger problem. "What do you remember last?"

"We brought Sarah home from Grams' and went to bed," she said.

That's not how their night ended...


15 hrs prior. Afterlife Mystic Falls

Tyler walked up the familiar path to Caroline's house. He hadn't been this nervous to see her in so long. His heart was going a mile a minute in his chest. He wonders what this version of her would be like, and if they could overlook their past and move on. To say he was completely over Caroline was a big fat lie. He had been infatuated with Liv Parker for a while, but he always found himself comparing her to Caroline and trying to make Liv, Caroline. He knew his heart could never leave Care.

Tyler let out a soft sigh when he knocked on the door.

Caroline's eyes lit up when she saw him through the curtains, she felt butterflies move through her stomach and it was like nothing she ever felt before. "Hey," she breathed as she opened the front door.

"Hi," Tyler replied as he walked inside. "Bonnie told me you don't remember anything about before you came to the Afterlife."

"I don't, not really."

"She also mentioned that we're engaged."

"We're engaged to be engaged," they laughed. "We want to wait until after college."

"Sounds like us," Tyler smiled. "I've missed this so much Carebear," he said as he brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"I don't want you to feel like things between us have to be the same. I heard about what happened with us and I understand if"-

Tyler cut her off with a passionate kiss. "There's no other place I want to be."


Katherine had no idea what possessed her to follow Elena. It may have been the fact that she didn't trust her, or have more to do with the fact that she looked like her twin. Katherine was annoyed by the hockey-doke life Elena got to live. She had her family, friends she didn't deserve, and a guy that would do anything for her, yet it wasn't enough. Elena was just like her. The one difference being Katherine "lived up to" her fault, while Elena played the wounded deer and placed blame on anything that wasn't herself. It made Katherine sick.

Katherine was caught by surprise when Elena's father drugged her and had her carried away. Here she was again saving one of Bonnie's friends. One she really didn't like. She really could do without Caroline, but at least Caroline had something to offer. Elena brought nothing to the table but self-righteous bigotry.

Katherine took out her phone.


Lexi was apprehensive to say the less at Bonnie's plan for them all. "She can't give them a choose she has to send them back."

"Bonnie made up her mind, and we both know that stubborn streak on her is astounding."

"Only second to your brother."

"They are meant for each other, aren't they?" Stefan questioned as he moved closer to her.

"They were pretty great friends first I suppose."

"You think that had anything to do with it?" Stefan asked still inching closer to her.

"There's a possibility," she said closing the distance between them and kissing him. Lexi's phone ring causing them to part. "Katherine what a pleasure."

"But of course. I need your help with something out by Witmore college."

"Is there something specific you could tell me?"

"It's Elena, she is in vampire distress."

"Okay, I'll grab Bonnie and Qetsiyah."

"Great saves me a call."

"Bye."

"What's going on?" Stefan asked.

"I'm not sure, but Katherine says Elena needs help."

Stefan laughed. "When doesn't she?"

"Technically you guys are dating."

"Well, I'm here with you and I say we're over, and this is not," he smirked as he kissed her.

"We should get Bonnie and Damon," Lexi reminded him.

"Sure, we might."


Bonnie sat and watched as her mother worked closely with her Grams and Qetsiyah on bridging a connection to the other world. She never dreamt anything like this would ever happen and it made her magic feel purposeful again. The Bennett coven was one of the most powerful in the world and it was something she never comprehended, until now.

Bonnie felt power before when she did expression and tapped in to the power of the witches of her line, but what she felt right now sharing magical energy with her family, and sourcing energy from nature was astonishing. It was a great awakening to power she never wanted to do without.

"What exactly are you planning on telling Lucy?" Qetsiyah asked.

"We talked about this and that we would say there's no way back," Abby added.

"That won't be good enough for them. They'll keep looking and lure someone else in to help them," Bonnie warned.

"They need Bennett magic to get here and Lucy won't be able to help them," Abby said.

"How are you so sure?" Bonnie questioned.

"It takes four of us to commune… There's only one Lucy and Liv. She's not strong enough either. The two of them aren't enough for the spell."

"Well we should stop. We can't hurt Lucy and Liv."

"Like you said they won't stop trying," Qetsiyah added.

"The paradigm of this world is fragile. We need to first sever the false connection Caroline and Liv created, then we can fix what is wrong here," Shelia said

"So Liv and Lucy are the last to enter our world?" Bonnie asked.

"No, they will enter through the natural chain with no recollection of what happened prior."

"But Stefan was able to remember."

"That's not what is supposed to happen. Stefan still retained his vampirism when he first crossed over. That was a mistake and the world tried to corrected it by rejecting him," Qetsiyah interjected.

"So this is it, no turning back?" Bonnie asked.

"If you're not sure you want to stay here Bonnie this can wait," Abby assured her.

"No, it's not that I don't want to stay."

"Elena," Qetsiyah said.

"Let's do this now, and everything else will fall back in place," Shelia said.

"I agree."


Damon rubbed the top of Sarah's head as she nestled close to him. He was furious with Bonnie and her decision to let Matt and Tyler stay. He knew that meant Elena wasn't going anywhere, and as long as she wasn't integrated into their world she was a danger to his happiness. He still couldn't believe what she said at lunch. "Damon," Sarah said not enjoying his lack of attention to their story.

"Dada," Damon correct.

"Damon," she said pointing behind him.

Damon turned to see Stefan and Lexi coming through the door. "What happened now?" he asked.

"Elena is in trouble and we need Bonnie and Qetsiyah," Stefan said.

Damon knew the evening's peace and quiet was too good to be true. Leave it to Elena to find peace and still manage to be in danger. "Well, she's not available at the moment take a number."

"Damon!" Lexi yelled.

"She doing a ritual with Shelia and Abby. It's supposed to keep more people from crossing over when they aren't supposed to. I'm not allowed to interrupt them," he smiled.

"Well, we can't just leave Elena where she is," Lexi said.

"We have three vampires, a werewolf, and Stefan, I'm sure we can manage."

"What about Sarah? Are you going to leave her with mom and dad?"

"No, never in a million years. Not even for five seconds. I'm taking her to Katherine."

"Yeah, well she's with Elena."

"Perfect. Stefan you'll have to babysit."

"Let's bring her," Stefan purposed.

"You want me to bring my child into an uncertain dangerous situation?" Damon questioned. Stefan nodded. "Yeah maybe you shouldn't babysit, Lexi."

- "No he has a point. Maybe we can get Sarah to use her powers?"

"The only thing she can do is summon cookies and milk," Damon said. "I don't think that will help much, and I'd rather a group of psycho vampire hunters not know about my half vampire half witch toddler."

"Damon we need her magic." Stefan said.

Damon sighed. "Bonnie is going to kill me," he said as turned to get Sarah ready to go.


"So the founder's counsel is hunting down vampires and doing what with them?" Tyler asked.

"They are making vampires more so then hunting them," Lexi informed Tyler.

"That's odd," Matt noted. "Why would they want to make vampire's when their purpose was to get rid of them."

"Unfortunately, Lexi didn't stay and ask," Damon said as he pulled into the clearing by Katherine and her car.

"Where's Bonnie and Qets?" she asked Damon.

"The moonlight ritual," he informed her.

"Great, I'm sure the vampire thing won't have much of an effect if this place is like where they kept Qets and Lexi," she said.

"Well if we can't go in we lure them out," Damon purposed.

They walked pass the clearing deep into the forest. Katherine lead them to an old cabin. "They took Elena in to the cellar over there. There are two guys in the cabin and two circling the place. I don't know what's in the cellar."

"Caroline you cover the North end by the cabin door. Lexi you and Stefan cover the west end. Katherine you stay east and use these," he said giving her an automatic bow and wooden stakes. "I'm going in south and I'll cut the power. And Tyler you get in the cellar and get Elena. Got it."

"What about me?" Matt asked.

"You're staying with Sarah, quarterback. If anything goes slightly wrong, get out of here and get Bonnie," he said given Matt the keys to his SUV. "Until then cover Katherine."

Damon went in and cut the power. Immediately the lights went out and the guards looked to each other. Damon went in quick as lighting and snapped each of their necks. He ripped the padlock off the cellar. Tyler followed suit and went down into the cellar to get Elena.


Caroline was up next and Father Young was the first to come out of the cabin to see what happened to the power. Instantly, she hit him over the head and he fell to the ground. Following him was a women and Caroline quickly did the same. "Sorry," she whispered as she dragged them back to the porch.


"This is boring," Katherine said as she watched on as Tyler went into the cellar.

"Well doing the right thing isn't always as exciting as the alternative," Matt laughed.

"And now I know why I make the choices I do," she smirked at him.

"I haven't been here very long, but I know that you care about everyone a lot. Just like Elena."

"Not like Elena," Katherine deadpan. "The only thing Elena cares about is what everyone can do to validate her feelings." Matt laughed. "Why is that funny she's just using you all."

"It's just that you two share a face and hate each other so much. It's just strange."


There was nothing happening on their end so Stefan and Lexi circled around front to check on Caroline. She was doing fine and they decided to circle around and check on Katherine and Matt. Everything seemed okay, but still Tyler and Damon hadn't showed with Elena.

"Let's go see what's keeping them," Lexi said to Caroline.

"Sure," she said.


Damon looked around. He never knew the tunnels extended this far out of the town lines. He and Tyler followed the lights to an intersection. The kept going straight and ran into holding cells carved into the tunnel walls. Each cell holding a person hooked up to an IV drip, staring out into the distance. It didn't take long for them to find Elena. "How do these cells open?" Tyler asked not seeing a keyhole or latch for the bars.

"I don't know," Damon said as he tried to bend them. "FUCK!" he screamed. "There's vervain on them.

Tyler gave it a try and they gave a little. "It's going to take me forever to get a space big enough to get her out," Tyler said as he looked around. "There has to be something we're missing."

Damon scaled the room again and saw a pully. He reached up and tried to pull it down. "Tyler a little help."

Tyler laughed and jumped off the wall and up pulling the rope down and causing himself to fall and scrap his hand. Instantly the bars went up and everyone's focus was now on Tyler. He looked up at Damon. "Why are they all looking at me."

"Let's just get Elena and get out."

"Fine by me," he said going into the cell. Elena's focus was trained on he's bleeding hand. "Elena we're here to set you free come on," Tyler said helping her up, as Damon took out the IV.

The liquid burned his hand. "They pumped her full of vervain," Damon noted.

"Hungry," Elena mumbled.

"What?" Damon asked.

"Hungry," Elena yelled as she pounced on Tyler ripping a whole in his neck.

"Elena stop we need to go," he yelled as he tried to pull her off of Tyler. Elena pushed Damon into an adjacent wall triggering an alarm. However, Elena was obvious to the external world. The only thing she cared about was feeding the hunger within her.

"Ohmigod," Caroline yelled as she swooped in to help.

"Guys," Lexi said noting that the other prisoners were starting to move in on them.

"Come on," Damon said making a path for them to get through.

Once they entered the interception a fluffy powder started to seep into the cell. It held off the bulk of the freed prisoners, but a few were still tailing them. Damon ushered everyone up the cellar steps out of the tunnels and tried to make his way out. One of the freed prisoners grabbed hold of his leg and bit into it. "Crap," Damon yelled.

"Damon," Stefan yelled running to try and help the other's pull him out.

"There are too many of them," Caroline said as she and Lexi tried to keep their hold on Damon.

Soon Sarah was upset by her father's anguished cries. "Ohmigod," Matt said.

"Watch out," Katherine yelled.

Sarah's face was glowing and she screeched. Causing glass to break and a concentrated beam of light flowed through her and knocked out the back wall of the cabin. It covered the cellar entrance and Caroline and Lexi were able to pull Damon away in time.


Bonnie knew that something was wrong when she finished the ritual. She could feel the disturbance in her spirit. Sarah was in distress. Qetsiyah drove her home after she didn't get any answer from Damon. When she got to the Manor she raced through the door and looked through every room. "Damon, Sarah," she called out. "Damon, Sarah," she yelled as she raced up the stairs.

Then she felt it. The discharge of power. "Qetsiyah," she yelled as she raced down the stairs. "Did you feel that?"

"Yeah."

"It was Sarah, I know it was Sarah," she panicked. "Ohmigod, what's going on."

"Bonnie, everything is going to be alright. We'll find them."

"My baby," she cried.

"She needs you to calm down so you can help her. Breathe," Qetsiyah directed her. "Let's go back to Shelia's and see if we can figure this out."

"Fine," Bonnie said as her phone rang.

"Hey," Damon said.

"What happened?" Bonnie asked.

"Elena got kidnapped by the counsel and things are much worse than we thought," he informed her.

"Where's Sarah is she okay."

"She's great. She used her powers to save me."

"Why would you take our daughter to a counsel of people trying to kill you?" Bonnie yelled.

"It wasn't my idea and I had few options," Damon said.

"Damon," she started.

"I know and I'm sorry. We'll be home in ten."

"Fine," Bonnie sighed.

"I love you."

"Me too."


Present time Afterlife Mystic Falls

Damon watched as Bonnie took in all he told her. They were dead, they died… Damon was a vampire and so was their daughter. "Damon I-this…"

"I know it sounds crazy."

"Crazy doesn't begin to describe how this sounds."

Damon took Bonnie into his arms and placed his forehead on hers. "We are going to spend all eternity together I promise you."

"But you're not you. You're not mine," Bonnie said as she looked up into his eyes.

Damon smirked at her. "I'm always going to be yours. I'm not letting you go anywhere Bonnie. I want this life with you and everything we've been through to get here is proof enough that I'm not changing my mind. You're going to be Mrs. Damon Salvatore if it's the last thing I do."

"Damon," Bonnie said placing her hand on his cheek. "You don't remember everything yet. You aren't mine yet. And I want you to be sure before it's too late and we do the other part of the spell. If you want a life with Elena now's your chance for it."

"Bonnie, with or without all my memories I'm yours. Always Bon." He kissed her passionately. "Do you want us?"

"Forever and always," she smiled.

"That can be arranged."
