Bottom of Form
She remembered!
And it really was her!
He hadn't broken his promise after all, Damon was soaring high above everyone. He never felt so much love flowing to him in his whole life. He wanted to jump up and down like the football players did after winning an important game. He wanted to pick her up and run off with her and never look back. To hold her close and keep her safe for ever more.
And then it all came crashing down again.
Brian stepped forward and hit Bonnie very hard in the chest with his fist. Damon was so angry he started forward, everyone around him scared to their spot, already too late as he realized he was too late. She was thrown back hard, she seemed to almost collapse from the hit. His fist had an unusual shine to it.
He could see it all happening again, scene for scene. The horrible memory of it all was coming back and he felt like he was about break apart from the pain it brought with it. All the deaths in the world he'd caused didn't hurt him as much as the one he witnessed so many years ago. Though the little things helped, hating his brother and hunting him helped ease it more, it kept his mind off the loneliness of his life without his Angel from above.
And as she slowly turned around he saw it was all coming true again. The nightmares that he'd fought for centuries after it happened, the very ones he tried endlessly to remove from his mind and his heart were coming back to him, and the guilt that he couldn't stop him was all coming back again. The shame in not being able to change her, or do anything to save her and for being part of the reason she died hit him all at once as his heart broke into pieces.
The dagger was deep in her, only the handle staying out to show him his failure. The blood was slow in coming, but when he removed it, it would gush out, and he would remove it because he couldn't let her stay in the pain she was in, he had to end it for her. It cut a hole into her dress, and the blood was slowly making it a reddish color, lighter then the black of the cloth.
The invisible, but very painful, knife was being twisted over and over in his own heart, he couldn't take this again, he couldn't watch as she died before him once more, but he couldn't look away either. His eyes were on her as she lifted her hands to the dagger as if uncertain it were real.
Then she looked up into his eyes, and began to fall. He ran then, finally removed of his paralysis, and caught her, holding her closely to him, not believing it was really happening again. Then he pulled out the knife and dropped it aside while she tried to talk to him.
'I'm so sorry.' She whispered finally with her mind. 'I wanted so much to be with you this time. This hurts more and more each time it happens.' She began to cry, sobs that shook her whole body, causing more of her life to leak from her.
He felt horrible, she had no reason to feel bad, or feel the hurt. He pulled his walls around her and blocked out all the pain that he could, finding that her face relaxed a little.
Then she began to convulse. "I love you Damon." She whispered aloud. Putting her hand up to his cheek feeling the wet tears as they fell. Her hand was cooling and he could feel it and it didn't help anything but turn the knife in his heart once more.
"I love you, too, Bonnie." He whispered, barely talking around the lump in his throat, not caring that the others were watching him. She was his Angel, but he loved her as Bonnie, not Angel. He watched as she closed her eyes softly, looking at least a little peaceful. And soon he felt her mind shut down and found that her heart wasn't pumping the blood anymore. Most of it was on his clothes or on the floor in a puddle around their two bodies.
He could feel the others clear unhappiness about what had happened, and the little spark of hope that she was still alive through the fear that she wasn't. 'She's dead.' He told them telepathically, not caring who else heard it, not caring about the one feeling of curiosity from someone. She'd left him again, and he was alone. This time, nothing could take away the hurt in his heart.
First Stefan took Katherine from him, then Elena, then this guy who's been haunting him for as long as his Angel had lived or been reborn took away Bonnie.
That was when he snapped. Nothing mattered, and he didn't care anymore. He was too far gone to even think clearly. To feel any emotion that he'd ever found while with Bonnie. To put it simply in his mind, he just didn't have the strength to care anymore, but he did have the strength to stop it from happening again.
There was only so much one could go through before cracking. He felt it coming, but he couldn't and wouldn't stop it, he looked up at Brian, who was still standing there like the idiot he was. He didn't even have the sense enough to run when he knew that all her friends were going to kill him over what he'd just done.
"She should have said my name." He said simply as Damon laid her body aside, away from the fighting that was about to begin. "And, since I have to wait so long for her to come back, I decided I would have a little company." He said, snapping his fingers. "You should know what it's like to be lonely, Damon." He added, smirking.
From the shadows three figures stepped forward, each bringing back a memory he didn't particularly like. Each had a different air then he normally had before now, each was against him now.
"You turned them into Vampires." He said, staring in disbelief as Matt and Scott came forward, looking very angry and lost. 'So that's why they hadn't been seen' he thought, mystery number one being solved right before his eyes.
"Ah yes, and of course you know this young fellow. The Werewolf, if you may." He snickered as Tyler came forward, half wolf already. "He was easier than the other two to convince, but they believe in me now, thats all that matters." He smiled.
Then he snapped his fingers once more and Matt lunged for Damon. He took care of him quickly, falling backwards and rolling into a backward flip, he grabbed Matt and flipped him backwards. But as he began to get up and face his enemy's again, Scott jumped on him, knocking the breath out of him for the time being. He had a harder time getting him off, but he saw out of the corner of his eye that Lisa was coming over.
He tried to tell her to stay away, he knew how it was when vampires wanted to fight. They wouldn't let anything stop them from killing the other, only death would stop him, and Damon wasn't about to die tonight, even though he felt as though he already had.. He didn't want to see another alibi dead at his feet, another soft pain edging its way into his mind.
"Scott?" she asked softly, touching his shoulder.
He looked up at her funnily, fangs bared and eyes dilated, clearly ready to rip out Damon's heart and drink the blood from it right then and there. That sight should have frightened her away from the start, it would have made any other person run screaming. But she watched him in wonder, her finger tips reaching up to touch his teeth as if he wouldn't hurt her.
And he didn't. He seemed to realize who she was, and his eyes became more normal, the killing light that was in them faded to a soft loving color, gone was the slight silverish-gold glint in his eye. His fangs shrank back and he let go of Damon slowly, body still tense and ready for the fight of his short lived life, still looking at Lisa with the wonder of a child.
Then he realized what he was about to do and looked upset, hurt that he'd been turned into the creature he was. She too looked upset, she had no idea this was real, he knew this because she'd only found out today that he and his brother existed as they did. But he watched as they began to comfort each other. Scott pulled himself off Damon and hid in Lisa's open arms, the football star at the College was now crying the way Damon wished he could.
He looked around for Matt, but Meredith was with him, he seemed to be looking hungrily at her throat, but he saw Stefan watching them carefully, and he decided to go back to the other fight, not worrying about them, knowing his little brother could handle anything that turned up between the two couples.
Tyler jumped at him suddenly, and he easily snapped his neck in mid lunge, not wanting to fight with him anymore, and wanting to rid his life of this creature. He fell to the floor with a loud thud and stopped moving. Still in werewolf form, saliva wetting the fur around his face he began to shift back to human form slowly.
Damon looked up at Brian, who was still smiling despite the fact that he was losing. His hair was in his eyes slightly, and his fangs were down, sharper then he remembered them being. His blood soaked clothes clung to his body, making loose clothing unknown to his worries of losing, and without a thought of how he was going to make it out of this castle alive, lunged at him, Bonnie's limp form forgotten.
The only thought in his mind was 'get rid of the pain'.
He remembered this guy now, remembered each time he killed his Angel. He wouldn't give him the chance to live to do it again. He dove down and bit deeply into his throat. Brian hadn't blocked him properly, and was now fighting like all hell to get him off but it didn't work.
He pulled up sharply, and out came his voice box and part of a few veins began squirting blood and other things from his body. His throat was torn all over, and soon he had trouble breathing, let alone the cries he was trying that sounded more like gurgling noises. Damon knew he was slowly drowning in his own blood, but he also saw that he was healing. He let him suffer as long as he dared before the vampire completely healed, and then decided to end it.
Using large portion of strength he punched the other vampire in the chest, through the muscle and rib bones, and grabbing his heart, ripping it out of his chest cavity. His body pumped out the blood from that spot for a few seconds, while his heart beat in his hand, blood streaming down his arm, then all stopped, and went quiet.
Brian stopped struggling.
Damon smiled in triumph, happy to be rid of this person after so long, but then he remembered about Bonnie and still felt hallow inside. He hadn't gotten rid of the pain in his whole being, it was still there, still threatening to break him into pieces.
Dropping the heart he turned back to Bonnie, and saw that it hadn't been a dream. She was still lying there, in a puddle of her own blood, with all her friends by her. Even his brother looked upset about this, and he hadn't looked too upset about losing Elena that first time. Even though he was about to commit vampire suicide.
He couldn't go back to them. Not after giving them a loss like this, he knew they cared about her almost as much as he did. They couldn't possibly forgive him this time for any of the pain brought to them. Not only was Bonnie gone, but Matt and Scott were undead now. Immortals doomed to live the life of secrecy and loneliness of the dark with his brother and himself.
Stefan seemed to notice he was watching, or maybe he noticed the noise was gone, and looked over at Damon. 'Come over here, we need to help explain things to Matt and Scott, and calm Lisa down.' He said softly in Damon's mind.
Damon shook his head, and turned so he didn't have to look at the picture of everyone around his only love, weeping as if they had lost everything important to them. He couldn't go back because it would kill him to have to see her once more, looking like an Angel sent from God himself to ease the loneliness in his life.
He was about to leave when someone grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and threw him backward. Caught off guard he hit the wall rather hard, and it hurt. When he looked up through the stars he was seeing he couldn't believe his eyes.
Klaus was standing there laughing. "Told you I'd come back, Sport." He said, smiling. "And now that your little red headed witch there is gone, I can finish you and your idiot brother." He threw a look over at Stefan, who had stood up and was in front of the group. His eyes looked quite angry, and his whole body seemed to be tense.
"I didn't let you last time, and I won't let you this time." Damon said, getting up and gathering his strength.
"Ah! But last time you just about did. If it hadn't been for your little friend, laying over there, I would have killed your idiot brother for you." the repeated way he mentioned that Bonnie was dead was hurting him more than the thought of him being killed.
"And I said if anyone kills my brother it will be me, not by some lunatic Vampire." Damon said with all the arrogance he could muster. "You got Bonnie, you're not getting anyone else, I swear it on my life." And he meant it with every ounce of his heart. He didn't like all his brothers' friends, but they helped when need be, so they were his friends too, in some weird way.
Damon lunged at him, his anger finally to great for him to think rationally any longer. As they hit each other, the impact of his speed and his body sent them rolling around. While they were on the ground they were throwing punches and biting at each other, anything to get the other wounded enough to slip up and get killed.
Damon got a few good bites in, and saw that Klaus was bleeding just a little, but even that was good. He himself felt warm spots all over, and knew he was bleeding, he didn't know how badly though.
He threw Klaus off him, and jumped back on him, biting into an arm while trying to get to his throat. He got choked a little, and soon Klaus was back on top. He was getting weak and didn't know how much longer he could hold out.
He saw Stefan looking at something on the floor, and was turning to look at him every few seconds, clearly torn between helping the group and saving Damon's life. Damon silently told him not to come near him. When he looked up at him worriedly he said, 'Consider it my dying wish.' He felt Stefan argue more then he saw, his attention was back on the vampire on him.
And then Stefan stayed back and watched him as he fought for his life with elder vampire.
