Giving Us A Try- Chapter 5
I do not own TVD or any of the characters except the OC's.
Damon stood in front of Bonnie protectively, shielding her little body from Kai. He narrowed his eyes as he took in the guy standing in front of him. He looked harmless, but Damon wasn't going to let that fool him. "Who are you and what do you want?" Damon shot at him. "How did you end up here?" Damon shot another question at him.
"Woah! One question at a time! Don't worry, we aren't going anywhere."
Bonnie pushed Damon slightly with a grunt, and stood with her hands on her hips, eyes narrowed the same way Damon's were. Kai raised an eyebrow but didn't comment.
"Bonnie Bennett! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Kai said with fake enthusiasm. Bonnie walked past Damon and stood closer to Kai.
"I know you are the key for us to go home! Just tell us what to do and we will be out of your way." Kai laughed.
"you have this all wrong Bonnie. You are the key to getting us out of here. I am just here to help you." Damon rolled his eyes. "You expect us to believe that you are going to help us get home? You don't even know us." Damon said as he walked to Bonnie.
"Hey! I want to get out of here just as much as you two do! So we can sit here and argue, or we can get the hell out of here. The choice is yours."
Bonnie studied him not understanding what this guy wants. "So you have the things we need to get out of here?" Bonnie asked, hope rising in her once again.
"Yes." Kai responded.
"Alright than lets skip the chit chat, and get to it." Damon said smiling sarcastically. Kai nodded before grabbing Bonnie's arm. She gasped and Damon growled speeding towards Kai.
Kai held out a hand without taking his eyes off Bonnie. "Do not try to act smart witch, if you are planning on leaving me here I will destroy your only chance of leaving this place. Do we understand?" Bonnie looked at him with narrowed eyes, looking unaffected by the action, and nodded stiffly.
Damon quickly pulled Bonnie towards him, holding her protectively.
"Very well than, lets do this bestie."
Damon swallowed and tried to hide his fear as Klaus slammed his against the wall.
"Klaus-" Damon started but was interrupted.
"Shut up!" Klaus growled. "You and your little friends killed my brother! You will pay for this Salvatore!" Klaus punched Damon across his face. Damon gasped and touched the sore spot on his face. "Klaus listen to me! I didn't have anything to do with your brother!" Damon gasped out and suddenly his walls were back up. His face not showing an ounce of emotion. Every conversation they had before forgotten. The 'relationship and feelings' forgotten. Klaus stared at Damon shocked at the change.
"I didn't kill your brother! I didn't know what my brother was up to. I have been spending my time with you or helping baby Gilbert practice!" Klaus snorted. "Right, and I should trust you?" Klaus said as his eye color changed to yellow.
"Yes! Just this once trust me!" Damon threw his hands up.
Damon shook his head. One minute they were both acting like high school kids with crushes, the next they were vampires yelling, and fighting with each other. This is the pitfall of being a vampire. You can't always have a romantic fairy tale lifestyle. It's far from that.
It's dark and full of fighting and death. Full of heart break and rejection.
Rejection... The one thing Damon has always feared, the one thing he and Klaus had in common, and the one thing they actually bonded over.
Damon has made the mistake again. The mistake of opening up to a vampire who was never going to be anything more than an enemy. Now staring into Klaus's once warm eyes that were now cold and distant he realized the mistake he had just made.
Veins crawled on Klaus's face and in a matter of seconds disappeared.
"Okay." Klaus said calmly. "Go." He gestured for the door and Damon narrowed his eyes for a while, studying Klaus who had no emotion on his face. Damon didn't know if her should be relieved or not. Damon slowly stepped towards the door and Klaus watched as he got closer.
A growl escaped him and Klaus leaped for Damon biting him on his neck as his eyes turned an ugly shade of yellow. Damon's screams echoed through the mansion and his useless efforts to free himself from Klaus's tight hold gone to waste. When Klaus finally pulled back, Damon fell on his knees, too weak and exhausted to stand. He swallowed and Klaus watched as Damon blinked trying to get clear his vision. He looked up at Klaus, eyes shining with betrayal and pain and Klaus found himself rethinking his actions.
He stepped back and watched as Damon slumped to the ground, his eyes shutting from pain, he curled into himself as if trying to find warmth. With one last glance, Klaus turned around and darted over to his room.
Alaric gawked at Klaus as he finished his story.
"The hell is wrong with you!" Alaric yelled as he stared at Klaus wide eyed. Klaus tried to act unaffected. "
Ah come on mate! Let the past stay the past. No need getting mad about it now. Alaric's expression's didn't change one bit.
Veronica came down the stairs and sat in the chair across from the two. "I can sense another vampire close by. Do you know who that might be?" Veronica asked, suddenly alert. Klaus straightened up.
"That would be Stefan Salvatore." He said as he head footsteps get closer to the door. He opened the door before Stefan got the chance to knock and smiled.
"Invite him in." He ordered earning a glare from the witch standing next to him but she invited Stefan in anyway. Stefan stepped in confused, and put a huge box on the table, taking a seat uneasily next to Alaric, glaring at Klaus as he did so. The box caught Klaus's attention. The strong smell of Damon hit him and in less than a moment, he was standing in front of it, eyeing is curiously. "What's in that box?"
"Just something I found. What are you up to Klaus?" Stefan asked, his pose stiff, as if he was ready to fight.
"Calm down mate. I only mean good." Klaus said with a slight smirk.
"Yeah, I somehow find that hard to believe." Klaus let out a chuckle.
"I really prefer the ripper you." Klaus said making Stefan growl and glare more intensely.
"Before we kill each other, can we just stop and act like mature adults, and try to solve this problem!" Alaric announced, getting in the middle as all the attention in the room shifted to him. Klaus took a sit on the couch and Veronica did the same, looking between the three of them, trying to figure out what was going on.
"You said this had to do with Damon?" Stefan asked looking between Klaus and Alaric.
"Straight to the point. I like it." Klaus replied, trying to anger Stefan.
"So you are Stefan? The ripper?" Veronica titled her head, a look of disgust and shock on her face. Stefan nodded. "I have full control now, I rely on animal blood." Veronica nodded slowly. "Can someone tell me why I am here?"
Alaric sighed and sat up straight.
"Klaus found a way to bring Damon back." Stefan's head shot up, his expression changed. "What." Stefan whispered. "How?" He said looking between Klaus, Alaric, and Veronica.
"Your brother is in a prison world, with my cousin Bonnie. They are reliving the same day over and over again and I might have a way to bring them back. I just need your blood." Stefan quickly grabbed the knife off the table and cut the palm of his hand, squeezing his hand, everyone watched as the blood mixed with the others in the bowl present on the middle of the table.
"So what's the spell?" Stefan asked, his voice shaky from the recent news. Alaric cleared his throat. "The spell needed needed the blood of a Bennett witch, the blood of a family member, and the blood of a significant other. Veronica helped us with the Bennett witch part, and you already gave us your blood..." Alaric trailed off.
"Alright, so all you need is the blood of a significant other." Stefan paused for a second. "But neither of them have a significant other." Alaric inhaled loudly. "We got that part covered as well." Alaric said quietly. "The spell required my blood." Klaus said with a smirk. Stefan furrowed his eyebrows. "Why would it use your blood?" Stefan questioned.
"Because I am Damon's significant other." Klaus said and everyone watched as Stefan's eyes widened almost comically. "What!" Stefan screamed making Alaric wince slightly, but Klaus sat unaffected. "How did I not know about this! What did you do! Did you compel him?" Klaus growled. "I would never compel him." Stefan stood up and moved towards Klaus. "I don't believe you." He said lowly, practically growling. "Well, I don't need you to believe, and I do not need your approval." Klaus said stepping closer to Stefan. "Why do you even care?" Klaus said smugly. "I am his brother!" Klaus scoffed. "Some brother! You barely know him! Did you know about the five years he suffered, waiting for his brother to come for him, but his brother never came! Were you there for him when he was heart broken over Katherine? Did you ever say thank you to him for sacrificing himself over and over for you and your doppelganger?" When Stefan stayed silent, looking at the floor, a guilty look on his face, Klaus nodded. "I didn't think so."
Veronica looked between the two of them and than at Alaric who looked at them in shock. "Klaus what are you talking about? When did Damon suffer?" Alaric asked.
"Let's not discuss that now. That's a story for another time." Alaric didn't push and they all took a seat.
"What about Bonnie? What about her significant other?" Stefan asked Veronica. "She is yet to find hers. That part will not be necessary for her." They all nodded in understanding and finally Veronica decided to drop the bomb. "You should know that this spell will have some consequences." Veronica told Stefan. "What now?" He asked as he rubbed his temples.
"Your brother will turn human."
"Oh come on!" Kai nudged Damon, earning a growl from the vampire. "What happened next?" He said excitedly.
"You weren't supposed to hear that." Damon growled. Bonnie sat frozen from the information Damon had told her about Klaus biting him. Her hand on her mouth as she kept staring at Damon. "Well, it sounded so interesting, I could't help but eavesdrop." Kai sat next to Bonnie and grabbed the bag of chips sitting on the table. He took out a handful of chips and stuffed them into his mouth.
"We're listening." He said, his mouth full as he smiled. Damon sighed and looked at Bonnie who nodded and gave him the 'just do it' look. Damon closed his eyes and once again continued his story.
Damon lay on the floor and watched as Klaus left to go upstairs. He could feel the affects of the bite taking it's toll. Damon tried to get up, failing and than gave up. Sweat forming on his head, his body shaking slightly. He curled into himself and swallowed as pain shot through his body, he let out a groan of pain. The opening of the door made him uncurl. He picked himself up slightly, once again falling on the ground. The dark figure came closer to him. Damon squinted his eyes to clear his blurry vision. His breathing was heavy and he let out a sob of frustration. He had never liked being weak, and the emotional pain was way more than the physical.
Even though Klaus and him were enemies, Klaus had gotten to him. He had kissed him, made him feel, let his guard down, and than left him to die. The figure bent down and touched his face. Damon was ready to run away but the tender and soft touch made him feel safe. Damon blinked and finally the face became visible.
"Elijah?" Damon chocked out, his voice hoarse and weak. He coughed and spit out blood. A strong arm wrapped about his shoulders and under his knees and he felt himself being picked up. He let out a gasp and buried his head into Elijah's chest. He let out a shaky breath but didn't have enough energy to protest so just decided to go with it.
Closing his eyes, he let himself meet darkness. At this moment, he put all his trust in Elijah. He knew he probably shouldn't, but at this moment he didn't care. He just didn't want to be alone.
He didn't want to die alone.
The ringing of Stefan's phone broke the silence in the room, and the staring contest Klaus was having with the box that smelled like Damon. Klaus raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "I see you are ignoring the doppelganger's calls." Klaus said smugly. "Trouble in paradise I assume."
Stefan let out a humorless laugh. "She has feelings for Damon." Klaus's expression darkened for a second before he covered it up. This of course did not go unnoticed by Alaric and Stefan. Veronica raised an eyebrow but kept setting up the items for the spell.
"Did she tell you that?" Alaric asked softly.
"No, not directly. I can tell though." Klaus Sat up and smirked. "Well, my little vampire has quite an impression on the ladies. Although, he is not in the need for one." Klaus practically growled the last part. Alaric raised his hands and laughed. Stefan shook his head and let out a sigh. "This is never going to stop being weird." Klaus rolled his eyes.
"Back to the topic, mate." Klaus clapped his hands together. "You don't seem to be affected much by the fact the that the doppelganger has chosen Damon over you. If I am not wrong, which I rarely am, does this have anything to do with the beautiful blonde? Caroline?" Klaus smirked proudly when he saw Stefan freeze. "Ah, I knew I was right." Klaus announced chuckling. "Okay. So maybe. Why, you jealous?" Stefan asked smirking. "Not at all mate, I am very happy with my raven one." Stefan couldn't help but smile at the way Klaus talked about his brother, and the nicknames he called him. "I'm glad." Stefan whispered.
"Yeah man! Just...don't screw it up. Don't hurt him. He's been through way too much. I remember the times I had to take a drunken, crying Damon home and I don't want to see him like that again." Alaric said seriously. Klaus nodded, his eyes softening.
"I would never hurt him." he said softly before smirking again. "So...Why are you and Elena still together?" Stefan groaned but answered, "I thought I still loved her, but with Damon gone, I had all of her attention. I had her all to myself and I guess I just figured out that she was just a competition." Klaus smirked softly.
Anyways, tell me about you and Damon." Stefan asked. Klaus sighed.
"Come along, I'll start from the beginning...once again."
"Well, what happened next?" Kai asked enthusiastically.
"We need to get out of here." Damon said as he looked over at Bonnie.
She turned to Kai and smiled sarcastically."Why don't you tell us something about you?" Bonnie said narrowing her eyes.
"What is this some kind of counseling session!" Damon groaned with a roll of his eyes.
"Of course princess." Kai said smiling at Bonnie and completely ignoring Damon. "Well, lets see. I killed my family for power. I ended up in this hell hole because my father thought that our coven was in danger because of me, and decided to locked me up in here." Kai smiled at Bonnie's shocked expression, and Damon who blinked over and over but didn't seem surprised.
"Well, can we get out of here?" Damon asked getting up from the couch. Bonnie looked at him, opening and closing her mouth.
"Absolutely not! I am not bringing him along. I will not go, if he goes." Bonnie said pointing at Kai. Damon sighed frustrated. "Bonnie..." Bonnie shook her head. "No! I am not taking a psychotic serial killer who I barely know back to the land of living!" Bonnie shouted at Damon, hand on her hips.
"Come on Bon! We can take care of it!" Damon argued.
"No!" Damon bit his lip and nodded. "Fine." He whispered in defeat. Bonnie's expressions softened. "I'm sorry Damon. I want to go home just as much as you do. I miss them all too you know." Bonnie said wiping a tear away. Damon sighed and hugged Bonnie, feeling his shirt get wet from her tears. He ran a hand through her hair and kissed her on her head. "It's okay."
Kai got up from the couch. "Aww, isn't this just adorable." Damon and Bonnie glared at him. "Well, I'll give you two one last chance. I am going to get some more snacks, and if you guys still decide not to leave, I will destroy out key out of here." Kai smiled. "Have fun. No pressure."
Damon watched the door close and turned to Bonnie.
"We need a plan."
