Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to The Vampire Diaries, TV show or books. However I decided to have a little play around with the characters (I would definitely like to play with Damon).
Finally a brand new chapter. The previous ones have finally reworked and posted, some needed more changes than others. But now that I have a fixed plot, I will be continuing with this story for a while before returning to Happy Eternally Ever After. The reason being, I don't want to confuse the two stories and end up posting the wrong chapter to the wrong story. Not that they are alike, because they aren't, however at this point in the story, due to location and characters involved and the fact they are both human, it would be an easy mistake to make. And trust me, I'm ditzy enough to make that mistake.
The plot had to be reworked extensively as my original ending wouldn't work properly. Until the ending was set in stone, I couldn't write the rest of the story. Now it is, I can continue.
Update on Elena's Fantasy Diaries, there are 4 remaining chapters left to go. I was only going to release 2, but I changed my mind and I'm sticking to 4, which I'm sure will please some people.
Warning, this chapter contains sexually explicit content.
I hope you enjoy it.
Elena turned over and snuggled up to Damon, who instinctively wrapped his arms around her and pulled her possessively tight into his chest. As groggy as she was, Elena knew Damon was minutes from waking as it was customary for him to do this just before he woke. Elena simply lay there in his arms, their naked bodies entwined as she enjoyed the sense of security it brought, because the moment they got up, that would, in all likelihood disappear as they faced the real world of being chased by a very old vampire.
Thanks to Marcel Gerard, New Orleans was now a vampire free zone. Any unwanted vampire who entered the city, especially the French Quarter, was fair game to all witches, werewolves and humans. If a vampire was visiting family or friends, as long as they notified the relevant authorities, they had access to the areas they needed to go to. However if they entered without an invite, a spell would alert those who were tasked with securing the city. Freya had already notified the authorities that they were expecting a hostile vampire of up to five hundred years old to try to enter the city, possibly with others. Therefore the witches, wolves and human factions were already on the lookout. Even if Damon and Elena hadn't have gone to New Orleans, it was still the most obvious place for them to go to stay safe, so the alert would have still been in place. At least they had plenty of backup to destroy the vampire in question.
Elena just wished it hadn't come to this, having to leave their kids at such a young age nearly killed her. But she knew even without the rogue vampire, the kids would have had to go to the Salvatore school sooner rather than later, they were becoming too powerful for Damon and Elena to cope with alone. Unfortunately it had been sooner instead of later.
Elena noticed Damon's breathing change, signaling he was waking up. He pressed his hips against hers, his morning wood in evidence as it always was from cuddling her in a morning. Elena opened her eyes to see Damon's dark eyelashes fanning his pale skin. No matter whether awake or asleep, he was beautiful to look at, and Elena often had to pinch herself to remind herself how lucky she was to find not only a devoted, loyal, wonderfully sweet man, but one who just happened to be, as far as Elena was concerned, one of the hottest and sexiest men on the planet. Damon could have practically any woman he wanted, yet he never even glanced at another woman. Instead, he only had eyes for her, giving Elena a sense of security, knowing she could completely trust him. An amazing feat considering the man she first met was a notorious womanizer.
The one thing about Damon which hadn't changed since becoming human again was his insatiable sexual appetite. Fortunately for Damon, he only had to give a certain 'look' to Elena, which she found completely irresistible and would end up just as horny for him as he was for her. And unsurprisingly, the moment he opened his eyes, he gave her the 'look' which made her melt, yet feel hot and wet all at the same time. Whenever he did this, she was done for. He might as well have been compelling her for all the resistance she was able to muster up.
"Mornin sunshine." Damon grinned as he pulled Elena's leg over his thigh, allowing his shaft to rub up against her ever dampening core.
"Good morning sexy." Elena lifted her head and kissed him, as he rolled them over and pushed Elena onto her back.
Damon's hands roamed down Elena's body as his lips followed, stopping at her breasts to suck and lick, causing them to harden. Once finished he made his way down to her core, kissing her stomach along the way. As soon as his mouth reached Elena's nub, she bucked her hips with pleasure, before Damon made his way down until his tongue met her entrance. He began to massage her nub with his thumb, while inserting his tongue inside her, hitting her sweet spot every time. He knew exactly how to send Elena into orbit, and the heat inside her was building up so rapidly, she thought she was about to peak right then. However Damon had read her body perfectly and transferred it mouth to licking and sucking on her nub and labia, while thrusting two fingers inside her, gently at first before picking up the pace until her body shattered.
"Damon...yes...argh..." Elena cried out softly. Being quiet during an orgasm had become the norm since having children. Instead Elena grabbed tightly onto Damon's hair with one hand, and the pillow with the other, all the while the spasms in her core seemed to expand right through her entire body, in a heated and violent manner. Elena arched her back and her body went rigid, as Damon slowed down his ministrations. Eventually he stopped and kissed his way back up Elena's body. "I love you." Elena whispered breathlessly as she came down from the high of her climax..
"I love you too." Damon replied with a loving smile, which was reserved only for her, as he slowly pushed his length inside her, stretching and filling her perfectly, as if their bodies were made for one another.
Damon thrust inside her, slowly at first as their hips moved in unison, a rhythm they had perfected over the years. Morning sex was always a little slower, more tender and considered. It was their way to be united against whatever problems they faced. Whether it be fixing broken toys or dealing with rogue vampires, they were a team, and the act of making love in a morning only reinforced that feeling towards one another. The worse things got, the more they needed each other, and that particular morning, or late afternoon in this case, things weren't looking good. This meant their need for each other was simply heightened.
Their pace increased as they came closer to their release. Damon laced his fingers through Elena's as they kissed each other with a furious passion. Suddenly Elena realized she was getting close. She unlaced her fingers from his. Elena grabbed Damon's butt cheeks and pulled them in towards her, as if she were trying to help him penetrate deeper. This was a subconscious move on Elena's part, however Damon knew it meant she was close, which was lucky, because so was he.
Damon ghosted his fingers down Elena's body and slid his hand between them, finding her nub, which he began to circle with his thumb. Elena's breaths became ragged as the heat building up in her core suddenly erupted and spasms of pleasure wreaked havoc throughout her body once more.
"Fuck...Damon, oh yes..." she cried in a whisper. "Oh, argh."
Damon's thrusting became more frantic as Elena's orgasm began milk Damon's shaft, and triggering his own release.
"Oh yes...fuck...Elena...uh argh..." he cried into the pillow next to Elena's ear as her back arched and her body went rigid. Damon lifted his head up and thrust inside her one more time, as Elena felt his warm seed fill her, while Damon's brow creased and his lips parted as he reveled in his own climax.
Almost as soon as he'd finished, he collapsed on top of Elena, trying to regain his breath, but now he was human other things took precedence. Reluctantly he pulled out of Elena and climbed out of bed, as Elena followed him straight into the bathroom. One of the things Damon hated about being human was not being able to relax and cuddle after morning sex. Instead nature called with more urgency than it did when he was a vampire, which meant an immediate trip to the bathroom. A point which Elena found hard to disagree with. In fact, as time went on, there were a number of things Elena missed about being a vampire. Primarily compulsion. Not that she agreed with messing with people's minds, but the thought of making sure the kids ate the right food, cleared their toys away, and in future did their homework, would have been extremely useful as a parent. Although, admittedly, she knew it wouldn't work on Jess and Ben as they were witches. But the notion was nice, however the price of being a vampire was not being able to have a family, and for both Damon and Elena, it was too high a price to pay. They suspected it had already cost them in the amount of children they'd had.
Both Damon and Elena had wanted more kids, but after Ben was born, Elena's powers became stronger. Elena suspected this had something to do with them not being able to have any more children since. Initially after Ben was born, Elena started taking birth control to allow her to finish med school and work out how to be parents to two baby witches. Two years ago, they decided it was the right time to have another baby. Elena stopped taking her birth control, and they expected her to get pregnant straight away like the previous two times. However, even though her and Damon made love almost twice daily, nothing had happened. Why the sudden change, when she'd been so fertile before seemed odd, leading them both to suspect her increased powers may have stripped away her ability to have more children. However they knew this problem could also be related to them both being vampires. Because the circumstances were complicated, they suspected normal fertility clinics wouldn't find anything wrong with them as the cause was supernatural, not physical. Therefore they'd just about given up, although if Elena did become pregnant once more, it would be the icing on the cake for their almost perfect life.
Initially they had been devastated by the lack of pregnancy, but as time moved on and the children got older, and more powerful with age, Damon and Elena had decided it might have been a blessing in disguise. It was hard enough looking after two powerful witches, three would have been almost impossible, although that was no longer going to be much of an issue now Jess and Ben were at school. However they now had other concerns, therefore more children was no longer a priority. But even though it appeared they could no longer procreate, it didn't stop them from trying.
Half an hour later they'd finished showering and getting dressed. They made their way to the parlor to discover it wasn't morning, instead it was 4pm. They hadn't slept too long, meaning they would sleep later that night. Waiting for them in the parlor was Freya, Vincent and Keelin.
"Good morning." Damon grinned as they sat down to join the others. "So what do we know?" he asked.
"I ran some blood tests." Keelin started. "Now, this isn't an exact science as discovering magical DNA is fairly new. Unless of course the doctors at Whitmore did some research in that field." she added.
"I doubt that." Damon interrupted. "All they wanted to know was what were the healing properties of vampire blood and how they could destroy vampires." he grimaced.
"That information would still prove useful." Keelin explained. "One of the ways I can find out if the children have any vampire blood permanently running through their system is to check the healing properties. That is if there is some way of identifying those properties." she said.
"The Augustine's were working on vampires for decades, they must have found something, even if they couldn't replicate it." Elena agreed.
"So retrieving the Augustine vampire experiments, needs to be added to our ever growing to do list." Damon sighed.
"I'm afraid so." Vincent finally spoke. "You see, I think I've found something in your tests which might also explain the added power they have." he said.
"Even more power?" Elena frowned.
"Not just them, but you two as well." he told them. "I think you have siphoning abilities."
"Is that even possible?" Elena asked.
"If you'd have asked forty eight hours ago, I would have said no." Vincent admitted. "But I have never seen so many abilities in anyone else before." he shook his head.
"So how come we haven't been siphoning each other and the kids?" Damon asked. "And how come they've not been siphoning us?"
"If you don't know you are a siphon, then you would do it without thinking about it." Freya explained. "For that it usually happens if you are stressed or angry." she shrugged. "Maybe your lives are so content, you have never used it." she frowned.
"The alternative is you still have dormant vampire blood in your bodies." Keelin told them. "Not that you can become vampires again, but you've only been cured of the symptoms, there's a good chance it hasn't entirely removed the vampire magic from your body." With that comment Damon and Freya exchanged furtive glances, which didn't go unnoticed by Elena, which she meant to confront him with when they had a moment alone.
"You think that's why vampire blood doesn't heal us?" Elena asked as Keelin nodded.
"Vampire blood doesn't heal vampires. Only human blood does that." she said.
"Are you suggesting we drink human blood to heal?" Damon pulled a face of disgust.
"The cure has removed all symptoms and perks of being a vampire. So no, human blood won't do anything for you." she said. "Unfortunately, we're limited on what tests we can do as neither of you have living relatives who can be of any use. Only Elena's maternal line and Damon's paternal line would be of any use to us. And even if Stefan and Katherine were still alive, they'd also taken the cure and were both doppelgangers. They'd be helpful in looking at Elena but no use when it comes to Damon, which is why we need the stuff from Whitmore. And we could really do with it as soon as possible." she told them.
"It's not at Whitmore." Elena told them. "Doctor Maxwell took all of the Augustine research to a warehouse, where he continued his work unfunded. As far as I know, nobody kept the information. It's missing." she said sadly.
"About that..." Damon grimaced. "That's not exactly true." he said.
"Where is it?" Elena asked.
"I stole it." Damon shrugged. "It's somewhere safe in a storage facility in New York."
"Not a lot of good it being there." Freya sighed, folding her arms.
"Marcel and Rebekah have a copy." Damon explained. "It was one of the reasons they funded the lab."
"What could they possibly want with the Augustine research?" Elena frowned.
"Oh I don't know." Damon replied sarcastically. "Maybe when Rebekah becomes human, she might want to start a family. Now the problem there is Marcel in his current vampire form is of no use to her. They've exhausted all magical options..."
"So they're turning to science instead." Keelin interrupted as Damon smiled and nodded.
"Exactly!" he replied.
"Does that mean they just need to email it over to the lab?" Keelin asked excitedly.
"Um..." Damon hesitated. "These records go back to 1940. Email won't cut it. It took me weeks to transfer it all onto digital copies. Even if they just produce a digital copy of the research, I suspect it would take years to go through it all. Not only that, the practices back then were very basic. A lot of the earlier stuff could have incorrect test results." he said. "But they do have my records from my time as a vampire. Maybe you can work things out from that, see what changes have occurred since I became human." he suggested.
Keelin took her phone out of her back pocket. "I'll call Rebekah, get her to make a copy of the records and I can pick them up on her way to the lab." she said as she left the room to make the call.
"Well, that's one problem solved." Damon grinned. "What's next on the dastardly agenda?" he asked.
"The other side?" Elena said.
"What of it?" Vincent frowned. "It no longer exists." he said.
"Good point." Damon nodded. "Although there might be a new other side."
"How?" Freya frowned.
"A few years ago, our friend Bonnie, who is a Bennett witch, created a psychic blast." Damon told them.
"You think she might have re-created the other side?" Vincent looked at Damon in shock.
"More like she created a new one." Elena told them. "Stefan killed her boyfriend Enzo and apparently that did something. She talked it over with Cade..."
"The devil?" Vincent raised an eyebrow as Damon and Elena both nodded.
"And he tried to find his way in to find Enzo. You see, Bonnie put Enzo into this alternate universe where only she could see him." Damon explained. "At the time she'd lost her magic. Once she got her magic back, she couldn't see him or go to that other dimension anymore."
"Qetsiyah created the other side. And she was an ancestor of Bonnie's." Elena explained. "But I guess you could call hell the first kind of other side."
"There's no evidence to say Cade was related to Bonnie." Damon shook his head. "But we can't rule it out. It would make sense, why she and Qetsiyah could create a new dimension to house the souls of the dead if they were all related." he said.
"So what are you implying?" Vincent asked.
"When people were on the other side, they could see what was happening to people in the land of the living." Damon explained. "If someone died and came back to life, they could communicate with someone they knew on the other side. What if someone from the other side told Frank where we were." he suggested.
"Have you spoke to Bonnie about this?" Freya asked.
"Uh uh." Elena shook her head.
"We wanted qualified witches to talk it over with her." Damon interrupted.
"That's why we waited until we got here. Plus she's in Greece, we need to make sure she is awake." Elena added. "What's the time difference?" she asked.
"Eight hours." Freya checked her phone. "It's after midnight." she shook her head.
"Pft, Bon Bon won't be asleep yet." Damon shrugged. "The night is young, and the ouzo is still flowing." he added dramatically.
"I'll call her." Elena sighed as she got out her cell and pressed Bonnie's speed dial. She put her phone on loud speaker so everyone could hear when moments later there was a crackle on the other end and the ringing stopped.
"Elena? Is that you?" Bonnie asked.
"Nope. It's me!" Damon replied before Elena got to say anything.
"Damon, shut up!" Elena chided him. "Yes Bonnie it's me." she said. "How's Greece?" she asked.
"Fascinating." Bonnie replied. "So, how can I help?" she asked.
"How did you know we wanted anything?" Damon asked.
"It's turned midnight here. If it wasn't urgent you wouldn't call." Bonnie replied.
"We don't want anything, we just want to run a theory by you." Elena explained. "I've got Vincent and Freya here with us to discuss it too. It might be for your benefit as much as ours." she said.
"Doubt it, but I'm all ears, so go ahead, what is it?" Bonnie replied.
"You remember the psychic blast and you trapping Enzo into another dimension?" Damon started.
"Yes." Bonnie said slowly.
"Do you think you possibly created an entirely new other side?" Freya asked.
"I dunno, I guess it's possible. Why?" Bonnie asked.
"Someone torched our new house." Damon told her.
"The rebuilt Gilbert house?" Bonnie asked.
"Did everyone know about this except me?" Elena asked as a chorus of yes's came from Damon, Bonnie, Freya and Vincent.
"Yes Bon Bon, the rebuilt Gilbert House that cost not only a small fortune but housed my old bed." Damon said angrily. "There were only nine people in the know about that house and who was having it built, none of which would have spilled. So whoever knew about it was aware that it was an exact replica of the old Gilbert house. The only other people who would know that information who could link it to me are dead." he continued.
"If Bonnie had created another other side, who could be there who could link you to that house. Friend or foe." Vincent asked.
"So there's Anna, Jenna, Uncle John..." Elena started.
"Isobel, Stefan, Katherine." Damon continued.
"Klaus and Elijah." Bonnie added.
"Liz." Damon suggested.
"The entire Lockwood family." Elena raised an eyebrow at Damon. "And Lexi."
"Rose and Andie." Damon sighed.
"One of Klaus's hybrid minions." Elena frowned.
"Oh yeah, Tony." Damon nodded. "And Noah, the pizza guy who Jeremy let in."
"Vicki and Kelly Donovan would work it out by association." Elena suggested. "I think that's them all."
"And who would want to get revenge?" Freya asked.
"The list of who wouldn't want revenge on Damon is probably smaller." Bonnie offered.
"Actually I don't think it is." Elena frowned. "Only one name stands out." she whispered in horror.
"Katherine." Damon said as Elena nodded.
"Wasn't she destroyed in the hell fire?" Bonnie asked.
"She was, but I guess it means she is no longer the Queen of hell. Although I seriously doubt it's her."
"Bonnie, do you think you can try and find out if you are by any chance related to Cade?" Vincent asked.
"I've got a lead on the original travelers, before the great divide." Bonnie told them. "There are some artifacts in Crete which look promising. There might be something tying Qetsiyah to Cade. Who knows." she said. "I'm flying out there tomorrow night." she told them. "I'm hoping to be back home next week." she added.
"Hope you've been practicing your ancient Greek." Damon mocked.
"Actually I'm well versed on the subject." Bonnie said smugly. "It comes in handy to know these languages when you're a witch. I'm sure Vincent and Freya will explain all of this to you during your lessons." she added as Damon looked in horror towards Vincent and Freya who nodded.
"Why couldn't the ancient Greek witches just create spells in English or Latin?" Damon huffed. "Or even Italian. Those I can do." he shrugged.
"It's because, like you just said, your ancient ancestors are Greek." Bonnie stated in a matter of fact voice. "Some are mine are too. And the language they spoke was by some shocking coincidence, ancient Greek." she added with a tone of voice which suggested she was rolling her eyes as she stated the obvious.
"So do you think you can find a way to see if there is another other side?" Elena asked.
"I can help you find out, that's if you are able to find willing human volunteers." Bonnie told them. "I'll email the spell to create another Gilbert ring." she suggested. "Freya or Vincent shouldn't have any problems with that spell." she said.
"I thought it required a Bennett witch." Elena frowned.
"It requires the blood of a Bennett witch." Vincent corrected her.
"Bonnie already donated to the cause." Freya smiled. "A couple of drops should be enough." she said. "That would be great Bonnie if you could send me the spell." she thanked her.
"So once we've made the new Gilbert ring, all we need is a willing human volunteer to die and visit the other side to see if there's anyone there, make contact and hopefully talk it over with a ghost." Elena asked.
"That's about it." Bonnie replied.
"That's easy. We'll get Matt to do it." Damon suggested. "He knows the drill by now." he grinned.
"Matt already has a Gilbert ring." Bonnie told them. "And that is for emergency use only. He's already died and been brought back too many times for my liking. We need a human who hasn't been revived by the Gilbert ring before." she said.
"I'll do it." Keelin offered as she walked back into the room, straight from her conversation with Rebekah.
"Uh-uh!" Freya shook her head. "I'm not letting you sacrifice yourself." she insisted.
"Um...do you guys mind if I get going?" Bonnie asked. "It's late here, I'm tired and I'm not in the mood to listen to domestics." she yawned.
"Sure Bonnie. Goodnight." Elena smiled.
"Night night Bon Bon." Damon called out.
"Goodnight everyone." Bonnie replied, hanging up before anyone else could speak.
"I don't mind." Keelin told Freya, ignoring the other conversation. "I want to do it, in the interests of science and for me." she said.
"And how does that help you at work?" Freya raised an eyebrow.
"Whenever you lose a patient, it hurts." Keelin explained as Elena nodded in understanding. "If I can get some idea of what they can expect, maybe it will hurt less when I do lose them." she shrugged. "And when I talk to the families, I might be able to give them assurance about where their loved one has gone." she said.
"What if it doesn't work?" Freya folded her arms.
"Oh they work alright." Damon interrupted. "I've lost count of how many times Little Gilbert and Donovan have died wearing those things. Although they no longer work on Jeremy as he's a hunter and supernatural now." he shrugged.
"They're both fine." Elena added.
"Debatable." Damon muttered, earning him a stern glare from Elena.
"So the rumors about people going crazy are inaccurate?" Freya raised an eyebrow.
"Not entirely." Damon grimaced. "But that was because of your crazy ass mother." he said.
"She was infiltrating them, filling them with ideas while they were dead. Turning them against vampires and into killers." Elena explained.
"Well I doubt she'll be doing that again." Vincent shrugged.
"True." Freya nodded in agreement before looking to Keelin. "Are you really sure you want to do this?" she asked. "I couldn't stand the thought of you getting hurt." she walked over to her and cupped her face in her hands. "If anything should happen to you, I don't know what I'd do." she whispered.
"I'll be fine." Keelin insisted, kissing Freya on the lips and stroking her hair. "You worry too much." she chided.
"Okay, fine." Freya conceded. "I'll make the Gilbert ring when I get the spell." she sighed.
"What did Marcel and Rebekah have to say?" Elena asked Keelin.
"Marcel is copying the Augustine files right now." Keelin told her. "Rebekah called Damaris, who's on vampire guard duty tonight, and told her she and Marcel would be visiting as they had something for us. I called Damaris right after and confirmed it was urgent which was why they were bringing the package in person. The human faction and the wolves have already been made aware, nobody will touch them while they are here." she said. "Marcel said he and Rebekah would be here in a couple of hours."
"Wonderful." Elena sighed. She and Rebekah had come to a mutual understanding of each other, however they did have the ability to wind one another up. Elena knew it stemmed from the time she stumbled across Rebekah leaving the Salvatore boarding house after Rebekah had spent the night with Damon. It had been the first time in her life she had felt true jealousy, and some part of Elena couldn't forget the sight of them stood at the door, Rebekah still in her cocktail dress from the previous night, and Damon half naked, not having bothered to fully dress.
Damon had slept with Rebekah to spite Elena and to test her, see how she really felt about him. Rebekah had done it because she thought Damon had a thing for her and her need to be loved and wanted was being fed. Of course he didn't want her, leading to a nasty torture incident. But that was water under the bridge, as far as Damon was concerned. Elena wasn't even sure if Marcel knew about Damon and Rebekah's history. She suspected not, because if he did, she wasn't sure whether Marcel would be as helpful to the Salvatore's as he was. That was why, when Marcel was around, Elena pretended to get along with Rebekah far more than she genuinely wanted to. Nobody knew how she still felt about this one event, not even Damon was aware that it had bothered her more than she let on. It was the only time she had seen Damon straight after sex with a woman other than herself. Elena knew she was being ridiculous as she had intentionally rubbed hers and Stefan's relationship in Damon's face, even when she knew he was in love with her. Therefore she had no reason to be snippy with Damon. So instead she took it out on Rebekah.
"So what do we do while we're waiting?" Damon asked.
"I wouldn't mind going through some of the lab work with Elena." Keelin suggested. "Show her what I've been up to. Bring her up to speed of what kind of research we are looking into. I've got a lot of it documented here on my computer." she said.
Elena nodded. "I think that would be a great idea." she smiled.
"And we can get to work to see how much Damon has been paying attention to his magic lessons." Vincent smirked as Damon's face fell. "See how much you've bothered to learn, and if we can improve on that." he added.
Damon looked at Vincent defiantly. "It's a good job I'm not a vampire anymore." he said. "Necks snap easily when threatened." he growled.
"Damon!" Elena snapped. "They're only trying to help. You knew we both had to do this. I know I'm behind because of work, but you were supposed to be learning this with the kids."
"I know I know." Damon screwed his face up miserably. "I just looked at the spells and showed the kids what they were. I never bothered to learn how to do it without a grimoire."
"So you were just able to look at a spell and instinctively know exactly how much power you needed to use to perform it?" Freya asked looking confused.
"Yeah." Damon replied slowly, raising an eyebrow. "Is there something wrong?" he asked looking at Vincent and Freya's worried faces.
"I've never heard of an untutored witch having that much self control before." Vincent shook his head.
"For almost a century and a half I was a vampire." Damon explained. "You have to learn to adjust to your new strength and power very quickly. Holding a glass and applying the same amount of pressure as you did when you were human would result in the glass shattering in your hands." he shrugged. "You have to learn very quickly how to hold it without breaking it. Practicing magic is exactly the same, you work out how strong you are, and the self control is second nature. Although I still can't master a good cloaking spell." he frowned.
"It still sounds a little too advanced." Freya sighed. "I'll get some grimoires." she said as she left to go to her study.
"And you can come with me and we can study our own version of magic." Keelin said to Elena as she followed her down the hall to Keelin's study, leaving Damon and Vincent sat alone in the parlor.
"Are you ready for this?" Vincent asked.
"No." Damon admitted. "But if it helps my kids, I'll do it." he agreed.
"Good, because we won't go easy on you." Vincent warned. "Be ready for a rough two hours." he smirked.
