In A Beautiful World
Chapter 2
The following chapter contain scenes from Vampire Diaries season 6&7 finale. I do not own the rights to these scenes all credit goes to the lovely Julie Plec and her team of writers.
Visions swept across his vision as he remembered the one day he had lost the love of his life. They were probably one of the most dysfunctional couples that he had ever set eyes on but somehow they completed each other so well. And most importantly of all they were finally going to be happy. That night he had planned to take the cure from her and they would start their human lives together away from this place no matter what normal everyday problems smacked them in the face. As long as they were happy it didn't matter.
Before he knew it they were upstairs in the barn, her long brown hair swaying back and forth as her hungry lips met his as he lowered her down into the hey taking her dress off and looking down at her gorgeous form as he took her right there and then. He just couldn't help it. He had to have her. This woman who had quite literally saved his life. He had no idea who he would be without her and it terrified him.
Elena ran her hand across his face bringing him back to her as she stretched up and kissed him on the lips smiling.
"You don't have to be afraid anymore." she said bringing his lips back to hers in a passionate kiss.
He responded to her giving her a kiss and continuing what they started as his hips moved with her matching her moans, but when he pulled away to look at Elena's face she wasn't there anymore instead she was replaced by Sybil. Damon shoved himself away getting himself out of the wretched woman and backing away hitting a post with his back just so he could get away for her. Sybil sat up laughing and turning her naked body towards him. How dare she interfered with his memories. Those were his and Elena's. She had no right being in them.
"Hmm. I could see why Elena loved you so much. You seem like such an animal in the sack. I always wondered why girls liked Stefan more when you're obviously the best thing that they could ever ask for."
"You have no right being here and replacing her. She was the love of my life not some kind of character you could pretend to play. Also how the hell do you know my brother?"
"Only time will tell my little minx, but until then let's have a little more fun."
Damon's head felt as if it were exploding as she transported him to his next memory all he saw was Elena smiling at him before the scene paused as if he were suspended in that moment. The last smile he would see from the love of his life before she died. Why did this demon have to chose memories that were so painful?
Just as he thought of Sybil she appeared beyond Elena looking as beautiful and as deadly as ever. Thankfully she was clothed this time and sported a red dress that hugged the curves of her body. Damon had to admit this creature was far more beautiful than the one he had seen in the tombs but right now he prayed for that creature. It would be easier to destroy her if she obviously hadn't looked so human and vulnerable.
"What are you doing?" he asked her as she picked a lock of Elena's silky brown hair and ran her fingers through it seeming more amused than he would like.
"Such a pretty face. What a shame she will have to die soon. Unless you want to somehow change that."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm offering you a chance or rather a deal. I will give you one last chance to save the love of your life and one chance only, but if you fail you just give me what I desire. "
"And what is that?"
"I want you. I want all of you. And I also want Enzo. I got a taste of him in his sister's mind and he intrigues me. If you succeed I'll grant you the one spell in existence that can awake her and sever the tie she has to Bonnie so they both can live. You can finally get your happily ever after and if you lose than you must forget about her and be mine along with Enzo. Do we have a deal?"
Damon wanted nothing more than to tell Sybil to go to hell and that he wasn't about to play her twisted little mind games and then he looked upon Elena's face, so happy in that moment that he would do anything to get that happily ever after with her even if it was the smallest chance. He had to do it. He had to do it for her and for himself.
"Fine I accept."
"Good. First things first though."
Before Damon could think Sybil was on him and her teeth sank into the soft flesh of his wrist. He cried out in pain for a single second before she unlatched her teeth and smiled at him with her mouth stained red. What had just happened?
"Just to assure you can't back out. Good luck Damon Salvatore."
The next time he blinked the scene was playing on. And at that moment he did the only thing that he could think to do in this situation."
"Jo watch out it's Kai!"
Jo turned away from the stabbing knife that was about to go in her back as Damon used his vampire speed to get over to Elena looking into those eyes.
"I love you Elena. Please never forget that." He said before turning to the horrific scene in front of him.
Jo was standing there with her mouth hanging open in a frozen scream as she noticed the stab wound that had now penetrated Alaric. He couldn't worry about him now as he rushed over to Jo and got her to the other side of the building rushing over to Alaric to feed him blood.
"Damon!" Elena said looking at him in shock. "What's happen-"
Before she could get a word out blood pooled on the middle of Elena's dress as Damon saw Kai materialize with the knife pressed firmly in Elena's back.
"NOOOO!" Damon yelled as he rushed over to Elena's collapsing body and caught her in his arms.
He sank his teeth into his wrist and tried to feed it to Elena, but he knew it was too late. Kai had already put her in that curse. Kai had already killed her. He had won and so had Sybil.
"I'm so sorry Elena." He said placing a gentle kiss to Elena's lips before Kai ruined the scene before him making the world go black.
The next time Damon had awoke he found himself in the hard rebel of the tomb floor as his wrist ached where Sybil had bit him. Now all he had to do was wait there and await her instructions. Only her true physical form never came. He was once again faced with a monster that had scales and eyes so black that it felt like you were being dragged into the deepest pits of hell. He had been through hell once before and he had no intention of ever going back.
"Sad that you could not save her, but I do not pity you for now I can use you to do my bidding."
Before Damon could ask what she wanted a voice called out his name.
"Damon."
The creature smiled as if it were their lucky day.
"Now is the time to prove yourself to me. Don't disappoint and then the creature sunk into the shadows. Damon tried to warn Enzo about the creature but every time he tried the words would just not come out. What the hell was this?
"Don't try to cross me." the voice in his head warned as Enzo continued to talk.
Finally after a bit Enzo entered his line of vision as he raced over to him thankful he was alone so no one would have to witness him like this.
"Just you?" he said still trying to form actual words that seemed to fail him.
Enzo looked at him with a look of confusion on his face but answered him anyway.
"Snuck off. I didn't feel like playing paper, scissors, stone over who was gonna save your life."
"That's very heroic of you."
"I don't leave people behind. Not my style. Plus my girl seems to think that you're her best friend. And from what I can tell heroes always do right by their girl."
If the monster wasn't in Damon's mind he would have agreed with Enzo but he had a new mission at hand now and he couldn't fail it seeing as how the consequences of disobedient might be deadly by this point. So he did the only thing he could do to make the moment easier. He turned it off. He knew Elena wouldn't have wanted that but he was still holding on to her in case a situation arised where he would need his humanity again. This was not one of those times.
"Then I should warn you. Doesn't always work out so great." Damon said thinking about all the times he had failed in trying to save Elena in the past twenty four hours.
"I had a feeling."
"But don't worry, It's not as bad as you think. It only hurts at first-" he said as he watched Sybil get closer to Enzo. " And after that...It's kinda fun."
Than Sybil grabbed Enzo plunging Enzo into the world of darkness and leaving Damon alone once more.
