A very short chapter, to show how Damon's mind is working ;)

thought you'd wanna read that

enjoy!


POV Damon

We're running as fast as we can. We can save Elena or more important, I can save Sam. How did this happen right under our noses and nobody was paying attention? Tick tock goes the clock…

In the end every clue was wrong. Jenna was the vampire and that woman Tyler used to hang with was the werewolf. Elena died, came back and stuff. Everything was so messed up right now. In the end Elijah wasn't our wisest decision.

Life always slaps back into our faces like a punishment for being happy. A punishment for every single one of us. I lost Sam, Elena lost Jenna, Stefan lost Elena for a moment… Pain is a high cost to be paid. But sadly enough it's one I paid plenty of times.

But before Elijah left us alone an betrayed, he did something. I didn't understand his sudden closeness but his eyes unlocked something hidden deep inside me. The little chest hidden in your heart, key locked away out of safety, to protect yourself from heartbreak. The death of our mother, my first heartbreak as a child, shooting a man in the war and meeting her…

How in the world could I forget Sam? I met her all those years ago at the dance at our house. Father was very impressed about her style and appearance. But what caught my eye was the loneliness in her eyes. It was like a cloak of emptiness screaming for help or company.

When my fingers touched her skin while dancing it felt like I was electrified. I couldn't let go and her eyes a warmth was filling them cautiously. She was scared of the feeling of being safe.

The memory was coated in a warm fuzzy feeling. It comforted me in a way I never felt after the death of my mother. She made me feel grounded, centered, at peace, a feeling that I haven't felt in ages.

It was like a string out of my heart was looking for contact with hers but before that connection was made she stepped away. Left the room and with it a coldness came, an emptiness. My heart felt lost, reaching for her warmth, a feeling that never returned for many era's.

Hearts can find a chance for love only so many times. I don't wanna miss this chance once again. I closed myself down for a very long time but only her…

POV Sam

Death, it seems peaceful but it's everything but that. It's time and space to think about every single thing you've done in this life and the one before that in case of vampires. Every face passes you, every person you ever denied help, every person you ever cared for, every single one of them.

I was screaming, crying, begging for forgiveness that never came. I was watching myself grow up over and over again like a record stuck on repeat. Time fading away, slipping through my fingers like sand. How could so many years have passed by me?

Locked in a box for an eternity, I hope not…
