Here it goes, another long chapter with lots of revelations! I am sorry if there are typos or mistakes, I really didn't have time to proof read, so please excuse me!
Elena's whole body felt numb. She tried to open her eyes, but they were too heavy. It was like someone had thrown a big rock over her body and she just couldn't move, almost like she was paralyzed. She put all of her efforts and tried to move her hands, but she couldn't. Every little movement was causing her pain, next thing she tried to do was screaming, but there was no point in that as well. She focused all the strength she had left in trying to open her eyes. Finally she managed to, but her vision was blurry, and she couldn't see what was around her. After a few more moments she regained her focus and found herself in some kind of a basement. It was like a big dungeon, with the exception of the two little windows above her head, from where a little light had managed to find its way into the darkness. She had something in her mouth, preventing her from speaking or screaming. She looked down and she saw that her hands and legs were tied to a chair, and every time she tried to move the rope was cutting deeper and deeper into her body. Little drops of blood were falling on the floor from her wounded arms, the pain that she was experiencing, in her whole body, was so much that she was suffocating her. She was never that good in enduring physical pain. She heard a key clicking in the door and she lifted her head in the direction of the noise. A tall, muscular man, dressed in black appeared in the door frame.
"Looks like the sleeping beauty is finally awake?" He said in a mocking voice.
Elena didn't say anything, she just tried and gave him a murderous look, which obviously wasn't so murderous after all, because the man started laughing.
„Don't do that. It doesn't look good on that pretty face, okay?" He stroked her cheek , but she turned her head, disgusted by his touch. He freed her mouth, but she kept on giving him the silence treatment. „Come on now, not even a word?"
One question was burning in her mind, and she knew that if she doesn't ask she was going to explode.
„Where's Caroline?" She hissed through her clenched teeth, wanting to sound a little bit threatening, which in her position was close to impossible.
„Oh, well, she's... gone." He said in the same mocking voice. Elena felt like her heart stopped for a moment. They did it, they double-crossed her, how could she be that stupid? She should have told Damon. She shouldn't have just rushed in here, when she had options. She knew Damon would have never let her do this, because... well, it was crazy. Saying the next words caused her almost physical pain.
„What have you done to her? Is she..." She chocked on her own words, feeling the tears coming, but she wouldn't cry. She wouldn't give them that pleasure. With great efforts, she swallowed back her tears, and looked her kidnapper right in the eyes.
„We let her go." He simply stated.
„What?" Elena gasped, she was so sure, she would never see her friend again that his little confession actually surprised her, a lot. But she wouldn't believe it just yet, he could be playing with her.
„You heard me. We let her go." He said, repeating the words slowly, like he was talking to a small child. „See, my boss, he's a man that keeps his promises. He said that she would be alive, and she's alive. You held your end of the deal, and we held ours. But for the „you'll see her alive part" I'm not so sure. You should really remember this face." He said, pointing to himself, with an awful, and kind of scary grin on his face. He looked like a mad man. „It will probably be one of the last faces you'll see." A cold laughter escaped his mouth, and this sickened Elena to her very core. Killing people, kidnapping them, it was all a joke to them, taking a human life didn't actually meant anything, it was all a game to them.
„You keep talking about this boss of yours, is he really such a coward, that he can't do his own dirty job? Or does he just comes and collects the glory?" Elena spat at him, knowing it would somehow cut him. It did. She finally got to him. The man turned her face to her and slapped her right in the face, cutting her lower lip. The blood started flowing from there, but Elena didn't care. He was ready to strike again, when Elena heard a cold, yet, familiar voice coming from the shadows at the door.
„Stop!" His voice was so cutting and commanding that the other man froze in his position, slowly turning to face, who Elena supposed, was his boss.
„I'm sorry.. I didn't realize you were, I didn't know that.." He started stammering, looking for excuse to justify his behavior.
„Get out of my sight." The voice had turned to low and threatening. „Now!" He yelled the last word in a way that made Elena jump in her seat.
The other man just quietly left the room, his eyes examining the floor, while he was walking. The shadowy figure stepped out in the light and Elena finally recognized his features. She had seen them so many times; she had hugged him so many times, cried on his shoulder and laughed at his jokes. She thought her eyes were lying to her, she wanted to believe anything else right now, anything different from what she was seeing. She didn't even realized when the quiet whisper left her mouth.
„Uncle..."
„Damon?"
„Yes!" He said, a little harsher that he wanted. He was on edge, and he felt like he was close to losing it.
„Are you sure, you're... capable of working this case?" Amanda got closer to his, soothingly caressing his shoulder. She was always the closest to him, his friend; she was always kind and understanding, she simply knew him. She was one of the very few women, who was only his friend. The thought of having something more with her sickened him, because she was like a sister to him.
„What do you mean?" He asked, looking straight into her eyes.
„I mean you... and Elena." She was carefully choosing her words, not wanting to offend him in any way, she knew she was entering a dangerous territory.
„What about me and Elena?" He tensed up.
„Come on, Damon, are you going to lie to me now? We've known each other for far too long, I thought we were past that." She said, sounding a little offended. „It's obvious from a mile that you two are more than just friends. Way more."
„How long have you known?" Damon looked at her with wide eyes.
„From the very beginning, it started around the time you two were on that undercover mission, didn't it?"
„How.." Damon was way too shocked.
„I told you I know you, better than you think." She said, smirking in his direction. „And because I do, I know that you're way too emotionally invested in this one, you can't see straight Damon, you will probably do more harm than good by participating." She admitted, looking him right in the ocean-blue eyes. She had never kept things from him, and she wouldn't start now, the more direct she was, the better, that was just her approach.
„I need to do this, Mandy, I need to." He said, emphasizing on the word need, not knowing how exactly to put into words the feelings that were battling into him. It was like a big twirl of emotions that were trying to get out, but they couldn't. It was so unknown to him, that it was scaring him, and he was not a person to get easily scared.
„This is exactly why you need to sit this out, we'll find her, I promise you." She told him, smiling warmly and soothingly. They were partners, and Damon knew that if she wanted him to sit this out, he better listens to her, but he couldn't. He had to participate, he just had to.
„Mandy..." There was a begging note in his voice now. „Please."
„Damon, don't make me to go to the chief, please, you know I don't want to do it."
„Listen to me!" He said, grabbing her by the arm, his tone has turned a little more harsh now. „If I don't do this, I will never forgive myself, I won't be able to live with myself, do you understand that? If something happens to her, I will... I need to at least know that I've tried to help her, to bring her home, to... Look, I know you'll do everything in your power to save her, but I need to be there, I need to help, I need to do something, otherwise I am going to lose it, I feel like I am losing it now, and you know I don't do that, I am not like that, I... I love her, Mandy." The moment he said it out loud, it all made sense. He had known it, actually for a while, but he just couldn't put it into words, because this emotion was so foreign to him that he couldn't recognize it. But now, when he said it, he felt like a little bit of the burden he was carrying had become lighter.
The redheaded woman's eyes filled with tears, she had thought she would never hear those words coming from his mouth.
„If you screw this up, I'm going to kill you." She said, smiling a little. His blue eyes widened when they locked with hers. „Go, before I change my mind."
Damon didn't wait to be asked a second time, he got out of her sight, mouthing a quiet „thank you" in her direction, while walking away.
„Agent Salvatore!" He heard his name being screamed from the other end of the room.
„Yes." He replied, turning around to face the person who was calling him.
„We found her, sir, they let her go."
Damon's heart stopped in his chest for a moment, assimilating the words he had just heard.
„They let Elena go?" He said, his voice low and somehow weak.
„No, sir, Caroline Forbes, she's in the ER." The man reported, wiping away the tiniest piece of hope in Damon's heart. He stormed out of the building getting in his car, and driving off to the hospital, not caring about speed limitations. If they let Caroline go, then there was hope, he was trying to convince himself, knowing that this was actually bad, because if they had let her go, it meant they wanted Elena all this time, and they wouldn't be so merciful to her. Unknowingly he had stepped on the gas pedal even harder, flying through the streets. A couple of minutes later he hit the brakes in front of the hospital, and entered the ER with a loud thud. He looked around, confused, trying to find at which bed they had situated Caroline. He went to the reception, and asked the woman that was staying there:
„Where's Caroline Forbes?" His question was direct, his voice demanding.
„I'm sorry, sir, she's not allowed to have any visitors, except..." She tried but Damon's next words cut her off. He got his badge out and shoved it in her face.
„FBI. Now where is she, don't make me repeat it again?" His tone was threatening now.
„3 bed on the right." She murmured, seeing the expression on his face.
Damon went where he was told, pulling the curtains. What he saw in there, didn't really surprise him, it wasn't the first kidnapped victim he was encountered, the symptoms were the same – shaking body, pale face, almost like all the blood was drained from them, and eyes full of terror and fear. Next to her was a mid-aged lady, who was talking soothingly to the blonde. Damon supposed she was the hospital psychologist.
„Excuse me, but who are you?" The woman asked, turning her face to Damon.
„FBI, I need to ask her a couple of questions, if that's okay." Damon said, sitting carefully next to Caroline. From the shift of the mattress, her little body shivered and she looked horrified at him, she was like a wounded animal, trying to escape from its attacker.
„It's okay, Caroline, it's me, Damon, remember me? The guy you love to offend and tease so much?" He tried to make a joke, and it seemed to be working, because her eyes managed to focus on his face, a little change went through her face, as she recognized the blue-eyed man before her.
„Damon?" She asked, her voice was husky and low.
„Yes, that's right." Damon kept on talking soothingly to her. „Now I need to ask you a couple of questions is that okay?"
Caroline nodded, but he could say she really didn't want to do that right now.
„But I need you to stay calm, we have the situation under control." He warned her before he started. He was lying, and it was far from one of his best lies, but he didn't want to scare her, making her close up again, he had seen enough of that. „Elena is missing, she went there to save you, and now we need to find her, but we can't do it without your help, I need your help, Caroline, do you understand?"
It was like he was talking to a small child, but he knew this was the right way to go. Caroline's eyes widened in surprise, hearing his words.
„Elena's gone?" The fear appeared on her face again, changing all of her features into a terrified expression.
„It's okay, we got it, but I need you to tell me, as much as you can remember about the place they were holding you at?" He asked, carefully choosing his every word.
„It was dark, and.. it smelled weird, like, like we were underground or something." She started.
„Good, that's very good. Anything else?" This wasn't enough for Damon, this was nearly not enough.
„I heard a noise, outside, like a car, or a train, or a bus, I don't know.. it was definitely a noise from a vehicle..."
„Okay, more?" Damon's voice got demanding, as he realized Elena's time is shortening with every minute that passed. „Please, Caroline, please, you have to give me more than that." He rose his voice, taking her gently by the shoulders, but in that moment, the woman sitting next to his, grabbed his arm, preventing him from getting to her.
„She has post-traumatic stress, she won't tell you anything else, come on, agent, you know that." She told him, her eyes gleaming in his direction, showing his the way out.
„Thank you." He murmured to Caroline, and left, still angry. All of his emotions were battling inside of him, he had never felt like that – fear, desperation, helplessness, anger – everything was blending into one big twirl of emotions, he couldn't control. His phone rang, and shook him out of his trance.
„Yes!" He answered, a little more angrily than he wanted.
„Agent Salvatore, we've got the picture that was sent to Elena ready, the team is here, I thought you should be here as well." Joey's voice reported from the other line.
„Thank you, I'm on my way." Damon hung up and headed to the door, bumping into Tyler on his way out, and almost knocking him down. „Sorry, man." Damon apologized.
„It's okay, do you know where is she?" He asked, the happiness on his face was so visible that Damon couldn't help but be happy about him.
„3rd bed on the right." Damon pointed, and Tyler ran in that direction, but stopped, and turned around to face Damon again.
„I hope everything with Elena works out, bro." He told him, giving him a sympathetic look.
„Yeah, me too." Damon mumbled under his breath, heading for the car again.
He got to the lab as fast as he could, and entered there, seeing everyone gathered around a big screen in the middle of the room. He went there, shoving all the people out of his way, and took a look at the picture of Caroline again, examining every little detail on the big screen.
„We couldn't trace the phone from which it was sent , since it was a disposable one. We suppose it was only used to take the photo and then dumbed somewhere."
„Anything else?" Damon asked, looking intensely at his team.
„Um, we're still searching, we were also waiting for you..."
Damon assumed he kept on talking, but his attention was drawn by the little window in the back of the photo. A window. How didn't he see it before?
„Can you zoom in on that?" Damon asked, pointing to where he was looking.
„Sure, of course." One of the other guys said, doing as Damon told him, he zoomed in as much as possible, but the image was all blurry.
„Can you clear that a little?"
„Yes, just give me a minute." The man said again, and continued to type and click something ont the computer and after a couple of minutes the image got considerably clearer, it was still kind of blurry, but it was definitely better than before. „I'm sorry that's all I can do right now, the cam quality is bad."
„It's okay, good job, I think this is enough." Damon told him, looking closely at the image before him. „Does this look like a train to anyone else?" He asked and his team got closer so that they can see better.
„Yeah, kind of, I guess." Amanda said, tilting her head under a weird angle, and looking intensely at the picture.
„Caroline said she heard a noise from a vehicle..." Damon murmured, and his eyes got the determination that they always used to when he was finally understanding something. „Listen to me, everybody! I want you to trace where that disposable phone was thrown, then I want you to look for train rails, train stations, anything with trains in a 10km radius, and after that look for warehouses, abandoned buildings, anything that can have a basement, understood?" Damon yelled, so that everyone could hear him.
„Damon, what's going on?" Amanda asked, trying to match his walking rhythm.
„I think I know where she is."
„No, no, no, no, no!" Elena yelled, trying to back away from the person standing right before her, but her efforts, of course, were in vain.
„I guess I have some explaining to do." Klaus said, watching her right in the eyes, and talking to her in a way that would suggest they were simply sitting at a cafe and discussing the weather.
Elena's eyes filled up with the tears she had been holding up, ever since she got her, it didn't take long before they started rolling down her cheeks, leaving hot, wet trails on her face.
„No, don't cry now." He said, Elena didn't know if she was imagining things now, but she could swear his voice was softer.
„Why do you pretend to care?" She spat in his face, not-knowing where e she had the strength so say even a word. „All of this, everything, you being there for us, for dad, was it all a lie?" She screamed hysterically, the tears still falling heavily from her eyes.
„Oh, no, lovely, my friendship with your father was real, as well as my affection towards you and Jeremy." He explained, like it was the most obvious thing on the world.
„Keep Jeremy out of this!"
„Oh, no, I won't lay a hand on Jeremy, see, it's all about business, it's not personal." He shrugged, looking so calm, that it was irritating Elena to the fullest.
„It's not personal? Locking me up, chaining me up, and keeping me hostage is not personal?" A cold laugh left Elena's mouth, the pain in her voice was devastating. She still couldn't believe this was real, the man who had been there for her, all the time, who had been her rock, was now trying to kill her. This was all one big nightmare, and Elena just wanted to wake up, to snap out of it, it wasn't real, it wasn't happening. „What do you want?" She hissed at him.
„Oh, sweetie, that's a long, long, story."
„Well, here am I, you made sure I was not going anywhere, I think we have time."
„No, you don't have time." Klaus just smiled at her, but it wasn't his usual smile, this one was cold, sadistic, and there was something twisted about it.
„You're going to tell me what's going on here, if I am going to die, you owe me at least this!" She screamed again, this time louder.
„I guess you're right." He said, turning and facing her again. „I do owe you and explanation."
He pulled up a chair, and sat right in front of her, locking his eyes with her doe ones.
„Do you remember when I found my company? I doubt it, you were just a toddler than, so I found it a couple of years after your father's company, Grayson wanted us to be partners, to share the business, the way we were sharing everything, but I wanted this to be mine, only mine. For once, I wanted to be the one to shine, you know, your father, he was a great man, but he was also the type of people that were always in the spotlight, so I knew that if we were partners I'd do all the job, and he'd take all the credit. So, that's how Mikelson Global was born."
„A couple of years after that, I met a man, at one of those big, fancy dinners that I hate so much. He offered me a deal. He was running a big criminal organization that was dealing with, well... let's say that it is dealing with the more sophisticated kills. So he lightened me up in a plan. What would happen if my company was to be one of the three biggest, one of the only three real estate companies in the North America?"
„What? But what was in for them?" Elena gasped in surprise, she had no idea where this was heading now. Her head started to hurt and she felt like vomiting.
„The deal was, they helped me take down all of the big companies, I give them 30% of my profit, and I'll do them a favor from time to time."
„What kind of favors?"
„Illegal transport, money laundering, stuff like that." He shrugged, and then smiled, obviously amused by the look on her face.
„Oh, my god, uncle, what have you done?" Elena's eyes filled with tears again, as she realized how deep into trouble he actually was. If they caught him, he would be facing a life prison. And after everything, Elena couldn't imagine her life without him, everything was just so blurry in her mind, she wouldn't accept what was happening, she couldn't accept it.
„It's all about money, Elena, I thought you have learnt that by now."
„Money? You have money, why would you need more?"
„Because, dear, money is power." He answered simply. „Now, we're almost done with the clean sweep, I saved the best for last." He said, looking into her eyes again, but Elena couldn't see the warmth in them now, all she saw was darkness, consuming, scary darkness.
„I thought you and dad were friends, how can you disrespect him like that?"
„Oh, yes, we were friends, I pulled his little company from the bottom, when I lent him those money years ago, without me, you would have been out on the street years ago!" He rose his voice now.
„And he paid you back, every last cent!"
„He did, I am not denying that. He was my real friend, this is the main reason I told him everything, I wanted us to be together in this! We would have made such an amazing team, nothing would have stopped us." His look got a little distracted for a second, almost like he was imagining exactly what could have happened in his head.
„Daddy knew about this?" Elena almost screamed, no, this was not happening. Her father was a good man, if she knew one thing, this was it, Grayson Gilbert was a good man.
„Yes, but he refused to join me, which is too bad. Like I said, we would have been perfect together."
„I knew my father would have never gotten involved in something like that!" Elena murmured more to herself than him. „He died with clean conscious."
„About that..." Klaus started, and for the first time Elena saw real regret in his eyes. „Your dad's accident wasn't exactly an accident."
„What? YOU DID NOT DO THIS!" Elena closed her eyes, and started shaking her head violently, like a child who was refusing to listen to his parents. She would have given everything not to have heard those words, this was too much, too overwhelming. „Please, please, please tell you haven't done this." She started begging, her sobs were so violent that her whole body was shaking. Her whole life had been a lie, everything she knew, everything she had known, it was all a lie. She could feel her world falling apart around her.
„I didn't want to, Elena! But they made me, they said he knew too much, and he couldn't live, I didn't want this, believe me! It was either him or me!" Was he trying to make her believe him now? Elena felt repulsed by him, she looked at him, her eyes filled with anger now.
„You should have died for him! He would have done it for you, and you know it!" She yelled at him, and started to fight to get herself free, knowing she wouldn't do much. The little drops of blood started rolling off her hands onto the floor again.
"Then why are you doing this to me now?"
"Because I have to, Elena. Don't you get it, your father blew his and your shot at this!"
„You are sick, do you know that?"
His expression changed instantly, hearing the coldness in her words, the anger behind them. The regret instantly vanished, and the usual arrogant smirk appeared on his face again.
„I am sick?" He laughed at her. „I am not the one fucking a manhole!"
He knew he had hit the right spot again. Anger wasn't even close to describing how Elena felt now, she was furious, she felt the adrenalin circulating through her veins, she just wanted to grab the gun that was on his belt and put a bullet through his head. The man she knew, the man she called uncle, was gone. The person who was standing right before her had nothing to do with the loving, caring man that she knew.
„You know nothing about me and Damon, you got it, NOTHING!" She spat at him, taking deep breaths to calm her racing heart. She wasn't scared anymore, the only emotion she was feeling was dazzling anger, that was preventing her from thinking clearly.
„Really now? Let me see if I don't? You say you didn't sneak up from your sleeping husband at night to go and meet with him, and then you were coming back, just before breakfast, kissing Stefan good morning like nothing happened? You didn't run in Damon's arms every chance you got? Stefan is a really nice guy, Elena, and you don't deserve him!" He stopped for a moment and then added. „The things women do these days for one good fuck."
„It's not just about the sex! You don't know Damon, and obviously, you don't know me either, so you have no right talking about us like that!" She yelled at him again, wanting to punch him in the face so much right now.
„Enlighten me, then?"
„He has been hurt, he has been through so much, he's one of the strongest people I know, he's sweet, caring, amazing. Yes, he has flaws, but who doesn't? You know what, he's not flawless, and that's what makes him perfect – his flaws. I love him, everything about him, his good and bad sides, I simply love him, all of him." The words rolled out of her mouth before she could even stopped them. The moment she said it, she felt better for a second and then her whole world collapsed around her again. She would never touch him again, she would never kiss him again, she would never look at those beautiful eyes again. All she wanted to do now, was to tell him she loves him, she wanted to tell him she loves him more than she had ever loved somebody, her love for him was so strong that it was consuming her. It wasn't safe, it was dangerous, and rocky and she was afraid that if she takes that path, she would leave the safetyy of Stefan's arms, and she would dive in the unknown, not knowing where it would take her. But she wasn't afraid anymore, she wanted the adventure; she wanted every little thing that he would be able to offer her. She wanted all of it, and now she would never have it.
„You love him, oh, that's so cute, too bad he would never feel the same way about you, don't you get it Elena, you're just one of his little whores?" He said in a mocking voice. His words cut Elena like a knife, but she was sure as hell not going to show him that he had hurt her. She just looked away, and didn't say anything.
„Enough small talks." He said, and started releasing Elena's arms and legs.
„What are you doing?" She said, gaping at him with surprise.
„Believe it or not, Elena, I hate doing this, you and your father meant a lot to me, but it happens that you're in my way, and as you know, greatness requires some sacrifices."
Elena spat in his face, and this just made him angrier.
„You're making this easier for me, Elena." He told her in a cool voice.
„Just get it over with already, okay?" She said, she would die with dignity, she wouldn't cry, she had already accepted her faith. It was just how things were supposed to be. She was glad, because she had managed to experience something, not all people were blessed with. She had loved, really, truly, with every cell of her body, she had loved. She realized that she had loved him for a while, but she just couldn't admit it to himself, it was kind of ironic, how it took a gun, pointed to her head, to realize that. What her and Damon had, was real for her, it was the best thing that has happened to her, the past few months were the happiest of her life, despite all of the sneaking around and hiding, she had been so happy that at times it was making her head dizzy. Not everybody had experienced something even closer to that and she was happy, she was going to die at piece with herself, and this was what mattered.
She heard how he loaded his gun, but she didn't turn to check. She closed her eyes and waited for her own death, she was actually a bit curious about how would it feel? Would it hurt? Would it be quick? Was there something beyond?
She stood like that, until a noise from the outside made her jump a little, something was happening outside. Klaus had noticed it too, and he just gave a sign to two of the four other people in the room to go and check it out. They waited for them, but the guys never returned, she could see how Klaus tensed up next to her.
In the next moment, a squat flew through the door and then everything happened too fast for Elena to fully realize. She thought she was dreaming, because she saw Damon. Her Damon. He was standing right before her with a gun in his hand. She felt how one of the two other guards tried to get closer to her, but Damon shot them both, one in the chest, the other in the head, before they even made a step towards her.
He tossed her a gun, and she caught it pretty quick, considering everything in her mind was one big mess now, but in the moment her fingers closer around the trigger, she knew what she had to do, she turned to Klaus quickly, who was just smiling at her, mocking her.
„Come on, darling, we both know you can't do this."
Everyone else had frozen, at Damon's command, she guessed, waiting to see what she would do. She and Damon had trained a lot, so she was sure that if she wanted to shoot him in the heart, she could do it very easy. But she couldn't. She felt her finger pulling the trigger, and one bullet cut through his leg, making him fall on the floor and scream in agony. But Elena wasn't done.
„That was for dad." She said, and her finger closed around the trigger again, pulling it, as the next bullet tear up his skin and went through his shoulder. „And this is for me. Dying would be too merciful for you."
She said, and in this moment, she heard her name being called. She turned around and her eyes fixed on the ocean-blue ones she thought she would never see again. The gun dropped from her arm, and she ran in his direction. He caught her almost in the air, and spun her around, not being able to believe this precious creature was in his arms again. The look on his eyes was telling her everything she wanted to know. They didn't need words. She buried her head in the crook of his neck, and started sobbing quietly; it took her a few moments to realize that these were tears of happiness. She was holding onto him for dear life, now that she got him, there was no way she was letting him go again. He buried his face in her hair and he whispered, his voice low and weak:
„Don't you do that again? Do you hear me, never!"
Elena nodded and pulled away from him to look him in the eyes again.
„I love you." She simply said, as another tear rolled off her eye.
„What?" Damon was shocked to hear her confession.
„I love you, I love you, I love you, oh my god I love you so much, that it hurts me, every cell of my body loves you, do you understand? And it doesn't matter if you don't love me, because I can love for both of us. I. Love. You. God it feels so good to say it." She was talking so fast, and she wanted to go on, but he shut her up with a kiss. His lips crashed hers and the usual feeling of coming home took over her again, a feeling she thought she'd never experience again. When they finally managed to pull away from each other he just laughed at her.
„Why are you laughing now?"
„Because I love you too, you silly." He wasn't much of a talker, and hearing those words from his gorgeous mouth meant so much to her, that she felt her whole world spinning around her.
„You do?"
„Yes, I do."
„I.." She wanted to say something, but in that moment she felt that everything was really spinning around her, she wasn't imagining things, her vision became blurry again and she started to fall into the darkness that was slowly consuming her. It was so sudden that she didn't even had the time to fight it. The last thing she heard was Damon desperately yelling her name, there was so much fear and pain in his voice. She wanted to come back to him, but right now, she was too tired.
So, some of you saw that coming, my original plan wasn't like that, but with time I thought this would be best! I love the guy, I do, but he's just born to be the villian. Now I had a lot to say in this one I hope I haven't missed anything! Feedback will be loved :)
