Blood Slave
Previous: Damon sighed deeply as if deciding something ad he swiped his foot in front Terence across the grass. Instantly the grass Damon's foot had touched burst into golden flames. The beautiful flames died a second later but the burn marks still showed clearly and the smoke still hung in the air.
Chapter Four: Lightening Kisses
Stefan's Pov
"That was amazing Damon! Why didn't you tell us you could do that?" Elena exclaimed still staring with an awed look at the burnt patch of grass.
"Yeah, brother, why didn't you tell us?" I hissed at him, still annoyed that he had never told me we were witches. How do you keep something like that from your own brother? Damon glared at me but said nothing.
"Okay that was good, but can you make the flames bigger?" Terence asked Damon with what looked like hunger in his eyes.
Damon turned to Klaus with a 'what the hell do I do' look.
"Just make them medium size Damon, and concentrate." He warned gently, reassuring Damon that everything would be okay with his eyes and I finally saw the friendship between the two. It was weird and foreign to me to see Damon trusting someone else but it was clear he trusted Klaus.
"Why medium?" Terence asked, eyes narrowed in disappointment.
"Because his powers are unstable, they could hurt us and him if he takes it to high. When he burned the castle down, he was so tired he couldn't move and he almost burned in there with them." Klaus explained solemnly, looking out into the distant as if remembering the memory.
"But they can go higher?" Terence asked with a mischievous smile and both Klaus and Damon traded uneasy looks.
"Terence don't get any ideas, seriously you can't-"Klaus was cut off when Terence lunged towards Damon, trying to pin him down to the ground.
I tried to move forward to help my brother but Klaus stopped me.
"Take Elena, move back sixty feet." He told me, glaring as if daring me to argue. I didn't, I took Elena and we moved back, still watching Damon and Terence.
Damon was dodging Terence hissing at him to stop. When Terence finally caught him and pinned him down to the ground and raised a wooden branch above his heart flames erupted everywhere.
They swept across the ground, travelled up the trees and Terence had to jump back to avoid getting consumed by the flames. Damon sat in the middle all of it, watching as his flames devoured the yard, expanding even more.
The flames reached us in a second and I picked Elena up and raced us backwards, high up in a tree.
"Damon, please just calm down. Relax, he's done." Klaus tried to coax Damon into calming down while standing in a circle of the yard the fire slowly surrounding him. He had nowhere to go, the fire would consume him.
"I'm sorry Damon, just calm down." Terence called from up in a tree that was being engulfed in flames. He couldn't jump to any other tree since they were burning too.
Damon just sat there, watching the flames start to lick his skin with a look of pure horror.
"Damon!" I called out to him and he looked up to meet my stare. He looked so completely hopeless and defenseless. I haven't seen my brother look this way since we were very little kids.
"I can't stop it Stefan, I can't." He whispered to me, I could still hear it from all the way back here. He looked absolutely miserable and freaked out at his own power.
"Do something." I hissed at Klaus. He glared at me as if it was obvious he was trying than a strange look crossed his face, like he had an idea. He jumped over to where Damon was and picked him up off the floor and to my shock and surprise pressed his lips against Damon in a fierce kiss.
The flames seemed to heighten for a minute and then dropped away to nothing, leaving behind only scorch marks. Klaus let Damon lips go, still holding him up. They were staring at each other as if they both didn't believe that had happened.
"Good work Klaus." Terence said coming down from his tree.
"You idiot! He got burned because of you!" Klaus hissed at Terence, fury in his eyes as he let go of Damon and turned to face Terence. Elena and I walked back over to them and sure enough I could see scorch marks on Damon's arm.
"I'm sorry, Damon. I should have listened to Klaus." Terence apologized. Damon nodded not looking away from Klaus, still shocked.
"So when are we leaving for this trade place." I announced grinning and that seemed to snap Damon out of it.
"You aren't leaving to the trade, you're going to take Elena back to her house and be a good little boy." Damon snapped, glaring at me.
"Yeah right Damon. We are going with you. That is final." Elena announced grinning at Damon mischievously.
"Damon you know they sent hunters after us to come capture us, if we leave them alone they'll just smell our scent on them and take them to the trade anyway," Klaus told him softly and Damon narrowed his eyes at him.
"You and your stupid logic." He muttered annoyed. "Fine, but you have to do everything, I, Klaus, and Terence say. No arguments." Damon announced glaring at Elena and I.
We nodded grinning at Damon. Suddenly the atmosphere changed and I could smell danger in the air as I watched Klaus, Terence, and Damon crouch low to the floor, baring their teeth, ready to attack.
I put Elena behind me, looking around quickly for the threat. Out of nowhere a shadow raced out of my vision and knocked Klaus to the ground. It was a vampire. He had long black hair and a long scar under his black eyes.
He hissed in Klaus's face and in could only assume this was one of the hunters the vampires had sent after Klaus and Damon.
The vampire snickered and we seemed to be frozen as he straddled Klaus, digging his nails into Klaus's wrists and leaned down to lick his lips.
Damon snarled loudly and lunged at the vampire. He had been expecting that from Damon so when Damon landed on top of him he just rolled over wrestling Damon to the ground. Snarls filled the air and none of us dared enter their fight as they rolled all over the forest floor.
The vampire pinned Damon to the ground and flames erupted consuming the vampire and burning him to a pile of ash. The flames slowly died down afterwards and then were no more.
"Wow, you actually controlled it this time." Klaus announced helping Damon up, grinning wickedly.
"Not yet," Damon responded showing his newly scorched arms. Klaus snickered at this and Damon smacked him on the back of his head.
"Okay everybody. Let's go to the safe house. Elena and Stefan, my car. Klaus go with Damon and you two follow me." Terence announced, leading us down the road to where his car was parked. Damon and Klaus stayed behind still hitting each other childishly and we got into the backseat of Terence's car.
"So Terence, what is the story with Klaus and Damon?" I asked curiously hoping he would know.
Terence smirked at me from the rearview mirror. "They didn't just used to be friends they were also lovers. Klaus and your brother were in love with each other, which explains the whole kissing episode back there."
I raised my eyebrows. I always knew Damon liked both guys and girls, but I never would have guessed that he and Klaus had been together.
"Why did they split up?" Elena asked curiously.
"Well you know Damon, reckless slightly annoying. After they escaped from the castle he got even more reckless and was almost killed several times by vampire hunters. They had a huge fight, Damon thinking Klaus was to overprotective and Klaus thinking Damon was too reckless. They said some hurtful things and they left. It's a miracle that they haven't killed each other yet." Terence explained, smirking at the thought of this.
We were driving down a windy, narrow road in the forest and soon came to a small, hidden cottage in the middle of a group of bushes and trees. Terence parked next a large bush, keeping his car hidden out of sight form the windy road. We looked back to see Klaus and Damon were awkwardly parked behind us, both making out in the front seat.
Damon's Pov
I climbed into my car, Klaus going into the driver seat and I followed Terence's car, gritting my teeth. My mind was still wrapped around the kiss Klaus had given to me. I knew he only did it to calm me down and stop the fire but still, the very thought of it sent a shock of electricity up my spine.
"I'm sorry, Damon." Klaus suddenly announced staring out his window, not meeting my eyes as I glanced at him confused.
"For what?" I asked stupidly.
He turned to me and rolled his eyes in clear amusement. "For trying to kill you and them." He answered.
I was stunned for a moment. Klaus had actually apologized to me, Klaus, the stubborn and easily annoyed vampire.
"We're even. I tried to kill you too." I answered back casually, my head still spinning though. First a kiss and now an apology?
"We have to be able to tolerate each other if we are going to get through this and keep Stefan and Elena alive, okay?" He told me ad disappointment filled me. He had only apologized to get on my good side, so I wouldn't do something stupid back in the castle.
"Yeah, whatever." I muttered trying not to let my irritation show, but it was like a red beacon, flaring in front of me. He looked at me confused but chose not to say anything.
"Are you going to be okay being Rebecca's slave again?" He asked me quietly, staring at me.
"Are you going to be okay being Brandon's slave again?" I countered not looking at him.
"Yeah your right, stupid question." He muttered, dropping his stare. He was silent for a long time, probably relieving the memories.
"We'll get through it Klaus, together." I told him, softly, feeling weak with the words in my mouth. He looked up at me and smirked.
"You sound like Stefan." He teased laughing.
"Shut up." I growled playfully and swerved the car so he would hit his head against the window. We were on a twisty road. Up ahead was a small cottage, hidden by the bushes and trees that surrounded it.
"Make me," he suddenly whispered, very closely to my ear, his lips brushing against the shell of my ear. I shivered as electricity raced up my body like it always did when Klaus touched me. I could feel him smirking and there was nothing I wanted more then to wipe that smug expression off his face.
I slammed down on the brakes and threw the car into park and captured his lips, pushing ours together violently. Klaus looked genuinely shocked for a minute but not shocked enough to move back. He deepened the kiss, opening his mouth and inviting my tongue in.
Electricity was racing through me, making every hair stand up on it its end. I pulled Klaus closer in the little space we had, needing more of his electric touch. The feeling of his cold skin against mine, his tongue inside my mouth, and the taste of him! I loved the way he tasted! Sweet like candy.
Klaus shifted, trying to scoot closer to me over the two seats in front and I pulled his body over the middle as my tongue explored every crevice of his familiar mouth.
"Don't swallow each other!" I heard Terence shout from outside laughing. We broke the kiss and turned both identical death glares on him. Stefan and Elena laughed along with him so I assumed he told them that Klaus and I had been together.
I glanced at Klaus to see he had the same confused look in his eyes that I had when he had kissed me.
I didn't know why I did what I had just done. I just knew that I had too. I hated Klaus! He twisted everything that was me and turned it inside out.
I am Damon Salvatore! I kiss anyone I like! No one is supposed to confuse me. I'm supposed to confuse them.
I slammed the car door open and got out. We all headed inside, both Klaus and I avoiding each other as I clung to Stefan's side and he clung to Terence's.
I couldn't shake the feeling deep inside of my stomach. The yearning of Klaus's touch again and the need for him to get closer. I glanced at Klaus who had looked over to me at the same time and I saw the same emotions in me portrayed in his eyes. Lust.
