Chapter- The dreams we wish out of existence
Caroline and Damon stroll into the Salvatore manor... immediately Damon regrets it. He knows the creases of Stefan's forehead pretty damn well, to know when somethings.
"We may have a problem on our hands."
Caroline smirks, "You mean besides this one." The bubbly blonde looks at Bonnie and the pile of Grimore's. "Jeremy said Elena hasn't been home since yesterday."
Damon squints pissed, "We do not have time for Elena drama! Not right now." He pours himself a drink to stop the aching hatred for her seeping in every part of his body.
He just does't want to deal with Elena.
He blames her for his daughter being missing, he holds her responsible for Bonnie being like this, a stranger, He just flat blames her for this whole mess.
Stefan sighs, he never thought the day would come when Damon would care so little for Elena's safety.
"She might be in serious trouble." Stefan arched his brows.
"Then you deal with it, Bonnie and I have more important things to do than chase after Elena." He quips with a shrug of utter indifference.
Stefan blinks rapidly because he knows what he has do, what he always does, protect Elena, " I'll need some help." He says looking at Bonnie, who smiles back.
"Caroline will help you,"
The wipes her head up so fast she nearly get's wipe lash, "I will!" She questions.
Damon tilts his head for her to agree, "Yes, of course you will."
"Right! Whatever you need Stefan." She says snapping into order.
He accepts, "Thanks." He looks at his manipulative and the blonde bombshell suspiciously.
Stefan walks out into the foyer and Bonnie follows closely behind. "Stefan, wait."
"What's up?"
"I would go with you . . ."
"I know." He caresses her cheek. "Just be careful."
"Just for you, I'll be extra careful." He smiles sweetly at her, removing the fear from the situation. "Good, just bring Elena home safe, please."
He nods, he'll do his best. Because despite it all he still cares about Elena and some part of him will always love her.
"You see how she follows him around like a lost puppy," Damon looks disgusted.
Caroline smirks, "Yeah, the same way you follow her around like kicked puppy."
The reckless vampire gives her a tortured look and wonders when he became Stefan 2.0.
". . . hopefully when this day is over, we'll have- - - -" He trails off, he almost reveled his daughter name.
Caroline crosses her arms holding them tightly to her chest, she's been dying to ask what the hell the baby's name is, she's kind-of- tired of calling her baby Bamon, suitable but c'mon the kid needs something solid to be called.
"If you don't mine me asking, what's her name?" Caroline voice was soft, less neurotic than usual.
Damon looks up at Caroline as if he's afraid to utter it out-loud, as it's sacred and dear to his heart, ". . . Shelia Grace,"
Caroline nearly awe's out loud wiping the single tear on her cheek. "I approve of that so damn much." She says with burst of glee nodding her head.
Damon swallows his drink. "And it's far beyond time to bring her home."
"Good luck."
"I won't need it, I have Bonnie." He shrugs with such faith.
Damon steps into the foyer and he lets Bonnie say goodbye to Stefan & Sebastian.
Outside of the Salvatore manor, he sees that fear rooting it's self behind her eyes, "I promise, I will bring you back to them. Trust that I won't let anything happen to you." Damon reassures her with a smile.
Bonnie smiles back, "I trust you!" Damon smirks, "Good."
"Lets go fuck shit up," Damon starts, " . . .and get our daughter back." and Bonnie finishes.
It's nearly two hours since Bonnie and Damon left and Stefan and Caroline wait for Alaric to arrive with Jeremy.
Caroline watches Stefan with Sebastian as they get ready to find Elena-and it's the cutest thing she's ever seen. But her heart constantly nags about baby Bamon aka Baby Shelia and how Damon must feel to see this everyday . . .
Caroline doesn't want to step on any toes but she's team Bonnie/ the real Bonnie and what she want's and that's Damon and the more this Bonnie chooses Stefan it makes it that much harder for the real on too return and Caroline knows she as to do something.
"Before Alaric get's here . . . We should talk." Caroline sighs.
Stefan shifts his weight as he places Sebastian down. " About what exactly?"
"Bonnie."
"What about her?"
"This Bonnie who loves you, she's not our Bonnie, her love for you isn't real." Caroline sounds slightly harsher then she'd like.
Stefan looks at her confused, "Explain!"
"Simply she's this alt-version- like this Bonnie who's walking around isn't our Bonnie... She's different!"
"Because she's in love with me . . .she isn't real?" Stefan's voice exceeds it's normal level of calm clarity. Thinking Back to her Dream.
Caroline shifts her gaze uncomfortably. "That's not what I mean."
"Then what do you mean?"
"He loves her Stefan and I mean really love her . . . Someone's got to let go."
"You mean, I should let go."
"Yeah! You and Elena-"
Stefan shakes his head for her to stop, " Elena and I are done, I love her but am no longer in love with her." He states. Looking Caroline straight in the eyes, this unwavering devotion appearing In his.
"But you could be happy again, so that Bonnie and Damon can be happy." Caroline insists.
Stefan scoffs, he chuckles to himself. Caroline never lets him down with the things she says… and being Damon's champion of all things.
The world is coming to an end any day now. Yup that's it. Stefan lets that thought marinate on his brain for a moment. As Caroline's words forces a selfish moment in him.
He looks back at the blonde, "I' am tired of sacrificing my happiness for everyone else . . . When will someone sacrifice something me?" Stefan asks sincerely, he honestly wants to know.
Caroline stares at him in bewilderment.
Because the perky blonde doesn't have the answers she's been looking at only one end of the couple spectrum, 'Stefan, she never allowed herself to see Stefan's feelings and want's or needs in this situation.
He loves her,
He loves her,
They love her,
And she loves them . . .
Caroline just rests an understanding hand on Stefan's shoulder. And she wonders when will someone give a "fuck" about Stefan's feelings first, "I don't know Stefan."
Nearly two towns over from Mystic falls, they're lead too a dive nightclub which hasn't had the pleasure of being open for awhile.
"Are you okay with the plan?" Damon asks almost sincerely.
Bonnie just nods as if he really cares about her opinion, he's going to do things the Damon way. And she'll pray they don't get killed in the process.
While saving his and her asses.
Bonnie grabs Damon's forearm suddenly stopping him, "Be careful."
He squints his beautiful blues mildly surprised by her concern, "Careful Bonnie. I might start to think you actually care!"
She smirks at him, which seems to be by habit because she knows the true sentiments of the words, reaching for her forehead, "Are you okay." Damon asks concerned, now was not the time for a memento memory moment, " "I'm fine. Lets just do this."
"Are you positive?"
"One hundred percent." She reassures him.
Damon squares his shoulders, kicking in the doors of club, named the Rat's tail to be exact. Figures, A content smile dancing on that perfectly sculpted face as he looks around.
He inhaled sharply clasping his hands together.
"Hello you bastards, I'm Damon Salvatore . . . I'm sure you've heard of me and if not that's okay too, it just means your lame but I digress, I'm here about my daughter, so who has answers?"
All of the vampires sprawled all over the place are slow to react looking at Damon, ". . . so nobody has answers? No one?" He said sarcastically.
One of them makes a move to attack Damon but he quickly drops to his knees screaming in agony. "I wouldn't try that again if I were any of you." Bonnie states, smiling cheekily at them.
"AHHHHHHHH, Stop make it stop." The homely vampire begs from his knees.
Damon pouts and Bonnie notices. "What?" She asks curiously, "Nothing, I was just hoping I'd get to rip at least one heart out." He complains childishly."Seriously." Bonnie rolls her eyes.
"Were looking for man named Elijah, Does anyone know how to find him?"
He bold vampire stands up, "Yeah, but I'm not going to tell you." He says brazenly.
Bonnie tilts her at Damon, the fuckery of these arrogant vampire pricks. "Really, is that so?" Her voice was more sinister then sweet and Damon doesn't recognize this Bonnie. He's taken aback momentarily. "You just fucked up." Damon informs. As he moves behind Bonnie.
The young vampire looks worried he knows he screwed, everyone watches as his head explodes. Damon leans forward looking at Bonnie almost freighted and delighted, "What the hell was that?" He asks stepping in front of her now.
"It was a little spell I read before we left." She winks at him. "Remind me to never piss you off,"
Bonnie chuckles, turning back to face the other vampires. "So . . . Where is Elijah?" She asks again with the sweetness of a cherry pie.
Bonnie and Damon end up with a promising lead. After a nearly twenty hour drive Bonnie was exhausted, Damon could see it all over her face. "We'll stop for the night." He tells her. "You don't need to do that for me, I can sleep in the car." She tries to dissuade him.
"No. you won't and that's the end of it." He pulls into the first place he sees.
Damon compels the desk guy to give them a free room … only problem was that they were only single bed rooms.
"There's only one bed." Bonnie states shyly. "I'll sleep on the floor." He says grabbing a pillow.
Crawling into the bed getting underneath the covers firmly . . . She feels guilty because Damon didn't have stop, she admits sleeping in his car would not have been good for her, because when Bonnie doesn't get good sleep, she turns into Bitchy-witchy and that isn't a pretty sight.
"Damon?"
"Yeah."
Bonnie hesitates, "There's room up here." She says softly turning to face the window.
Damon smiles to himself on the floor as he stands, "You sure?"
"Yeah, I trust you won't take advantage of me." She shrugs underneath the covers.
He kicks of his biker boots climbing on top of the covers he faces her direction, he doesn't care that it's the back of her head he's looking at. He's just happy to be near her.
And He feels the need to sleep as he slowly drifts off.
Damon watches Bonnie holding their daughter, skin the color of bronze and her eyes the perfect color of blue dashed with green her hair black as a raven she was the spitting image of both her parents . . . This moment hit's Damon harder than any moment in his entire existence, he created something beautiful.
Christina Peri- A thousand years
"Heartbeats fast colors and promises how to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes
Away somehow one step closer
I have died everyday
Waiting for you'
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love for a thousand more . . .
Time stands still beauty and all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday
Waiting for you'
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love for a thousand more . . .
And all along I believed I would find
You
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand
Years
I love you for a thousand more….
One step closer
One step closer
I have died everyday
Waiting for you'
Darling don't be afraid
I have loved you
For a thousand years
I love for a thousand more . . .
He steps into the room, "Can we talk?"
"Yeah." Bonnie puts their baby in her crib.
Bonnie sees the look he's trying to glamour with that damn cunning smirk of his. "What's wrong ? you look upset."
Damon smiles at her genuinely. "I love you and I know you don't remember me or the love that we shared, because you're not my Bonnie . . . But when I look you, all I see is the women I love and I wanted to be the man you love but am not! And you know what I'm okay with that. Because I know what it was like to be loved by you - - -"
"Damon."
"Please just let me finish," He says as he crowns her face, "I realized that I have to love her and you enough to let her go."
Damon caresses her cheeks softly, " I love you, so I want you to be happy with Stefan."
"Damon- - -"
'It's okay, really! we have our daughter that's all that matters."
He releases her; using his vampire speed he's gone. . . . . .
Bonnie feels this arms squeeze her tightly, too tightly.
"Damon, wake-up!" She yells.
Releasing her as he wakes, "What? What's going on?" He looks at the witch frantic, " You were dreaming or having a nightmare!"
Looking around at the motel room he realizes where he is, he was dreaming it was just a dream:
He thinks,
He hopes,
He wants it to only be a dream, but what are the chances of that?
"What were you dreaming about?" She's curious to know. Why he was squeezing her for dear life.
"The future." Damon states with sigh…..
