Small Extract: Stefan and Caroline / An unexpected affair – Part II
Chapter 6: Cherry on Top
Tyler walked into the corridors of the prestigious hotel, before knocking on the door of the penthouse suite, being greeted by a vampire man, who nodded his head toward the direction of the main living room. Tyler walked toward the showed room, and took a few more steps to place himself in front of a man that was comfortably sitting on a leather arm chair, and was sipping a glass of Brandy.
"Ah…The young Lockwood finally arrived!" The man exclaimed to him, before jumping on his feet, and taking a few walking steps to reach the bar counter. "What can I serve you, Tyler?" He asked him.
"What about the freedom of compulsion on my mother, Klaus!"Tyler angrily spit in his face.
"Yes, I heard…The unfortunate incident of your mother falling down the stairs, couple of days ago!" Klaus sarcastically said to him, while shaking his head. "You know, you should take better care of her, family is so important..." He mockingly added to Tyler, while smirking, and pouring himself another glass of Brandy.
"You compelled her to fall on these stairs…I swear to you, Klaus!" Tyler angrily mumbled in his teeth.
"You are swearing what exactly, Tyler?" Klaus asked him, while turning to stare at him, tilting his head, and gulping his glass entirely.
Tyler shook his head, while placing his hands on each side of his waist, and turning his sight away from Klaus to calm himself.
"Your part in this game was perfectly explained to you, Tyler… Prior to the freedom of compulsion on your mother, you will need to simply be my eyes, and spying on the young Salvatore and his delightful girlfriend…If you fulfill the conditions of our agreement, I don't see any reason for your mother to kill herself…She will commit suicide, only if you are not fulfilling your part of the deal. It is as easy as that!" Klaus said to him.
"She is not his girlfriend!" Tyler angrily replied to him.
"Aww my friend, you are so young and naive!" Klaus responded to Tyler, while smiling. "So, any news on the whereabouts of Elena Gilbert" He added to Tyler.
"No!" Tyler responded to Klaus, while shaking his head. "For what Caroline told me, she took some time off for a vacation away from Mystic Falls!"
"Perfect then…"Klaus replied, while smirking and walking to reach Tyler's standing position, before crossing his arms in front of his chest and staring at his werewolf pawn.
"I don't understand? You needed Elena for your stupid sacrifice…Why is it ok that she is away now?" Tyler asked him.
"Mysterious, Isn't it?"Klaus mockingly replied to Tyler, adding."Well, you can say that I prefer Elena Gilbert to be away from Mystic Falls from now on, because I don't need her anymore!"
Chapter 8
"SOMEBODY TO LOVE"
"Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!
Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love? "
Queen – Freddy Mercury
"Damn it!" Alex screamed from the top of his lungs, with all the anger accumulated inside of him, while passing nervously and quickly, a hand through his long hair, before bending his upper body to pick up a chair and throwing it on the opposite wall of the underground refectory room, before pushing tables on the floor while releasing all his tension. "Fuck you, Elena Gilbert!"
Bill pushed the two swinging doors of the refectory, while watching Alex for a quick moment, from his standing position, trashing the entire furniture, before taking a sitting position on a near chair, reaching from one of his leather jacket's pocket, for his pack of cigarettes, lighting one, before taking a few puffs.
"Blowing some steam, as I can see….So, tell me…What is the Princess has done this time?" Bill asked him, while smoking his cigarette in a peaceful way, elevating his injured leg on a table.
Alex turned to look at Bill, in surprise…before pushing another chair out of his way, and taking a few walking steps to reach Bill's sitting position.
"Nothing…" Alex responded to him, while putting both of his hands on each side of his waist.
"Doesn't look like nothing to me…" Bill replied, while grinning at him. "What shit she pulled this time? Oh but wait…Didn't you say to me, that you had her under control, that you would break her soon?" He added to him, while smirking, and taking another puff of his cigarette. "It looks to me like she has you under control, and around her little finger!" Bill said to him, while raising one of his eyebrows.
Alex shook his head, before raising his stare in Bill's.
"She has a child…" He mumbled angrily to his friends.
"What?" Bill responded to him, while standing straight on his chair. "What do you mean she has a child?" He asked him, with an open mouth and eyes expression.
"A little girl, probably the age of Samantha…" Alex started to explain, adding. "..The little girl name is Rose, and she is Damon Salvatore's daughter." He lashed out at Bill, while locking his sight with his.
"You got to be kidding me!" Bill replied, while rising on his feet, and exclaiming. "She is bluffing…And by the same way, she is playing her cards with the latest information that she got on you: Your weakness for children! She is a manipulative little … Oh I don't even know how to contain myself anymore with her…Alex, wake up!" Bill added to him in anger, while gesturing with his hands.
"I don't think she is playing with me this time, Bill…" Alex replied to Bill, before lowering his head, and closing his eyes, before explaining. "…In Boston, she was staying in a small apartment in top of bakery, the owner to which I spoke once to fish some information, had a little girl by her side, I noticed her couple of times, from afar…She was standing behind the counter…And I saw her more than once at Elena's side…But, I always thought that she was the owner's daughter!" Alex added in an angry tone of voice, while closing his fists.
"That doesn't mean anything…It is more than certain, that this is the latest plot that she had found to try to fool you with your only weakness. She saw you with Samantha, she made a story in her head, to make you weak…And she knows that you would do all in your power to save a child, even giving back Elena's freedom!" Bill tried to convince him.
"Well…This is the fun part of it all, Bill…" Alex replied, with a sarcastic tone in his voice, adding. "Because, you see, and wait for this, you'll find hilarity in what the little princess think of me…She think that I will suck up the blood of these children to turn them as vampires…So I doubt, that she would use a child to make me believe a stupid story like this one!"
Bill stared at Alex for a few seconds, before shaking his head in disbelief, and passing a quick hand through his hair.
"Well…Roberto went to see her…And you know, Roberto...He's always saying that you are his hero, Alex. He wants to be like you one day, so, he must have told her that he was waiting to turn at some points…" Bill replied to him, while stroking his eyes, before adding. "…I told you that it would only bring trouble to have her here!"
"And I told you that I was feeling connected to her, in more ways that you could even imagine!" Alex lashed out at Bill, adding. "And, it's not like I can go back in time!"
"You are not Damon Salvatore, and this little girl is not yours, Alex! For God sake, you're a vampire, you can't have children!" Bill told him, while shaking his head to him.
"What if I was Damon Salvatore? What if this little girl is really mine, Bill, what if?" Alex screamed at him. "Not that I am the greatest role model in the world…" Alex added to him, while pacing back and forth in front of him. "But, I would want to know…" Alex busted at him.
"You're not Damon Salvatore!" Bill repeated, calmly, to him.
Alex took a few more steps, before bending his head near Bill's, locking his eyes with his.
"Can you look at me in the eyes, and tell me that you are 100% certain that I am not Damon Salvatore? That all the feelings and memory of this woman that I had in me, calling me to find her again, is not a clear indication that I was Damon Salvatore before becoming Alex?" Alex asked Bill, with all the turmoil and anger he was feeling inside of him.
Bill kept his stare in Alex's for quite a long time, before lowering his head.
"That is what I thought…" Alex replied to Bill, before turning on himself, showing his back to Bill, and closing his eyes for a short moment.
"Alex…" Bill said to him, before making a pause, approaching him, and putting a friendly hand on his shoulder. "…Even if you were Damon Salvatore, you're not anymore…You rebuild a new vampire man…You are true to yourself now…Even if you had no idea who you were at the beginning of you amnesia…You were able to find you way back to who you are now!" Bill explained to Alex, continuing. "What is worrying me is…if all of this is true, and I still doubt it…Will she change who you are now, to fulfil her need to make you something that you are not anymore…She will not accept you as Alex!"
Alex turned his head to the right, taking a look at Bill, before sighing and passing a nervous hand through his hair.
"I need to know for Rose…" Alex simply said to Bill.
"Ok! We'll find a way…" Bill responded to his friend, while nodding his head.
Alex turned on himself, nodded to Bill, before reaching for his cigarettes pack in his jeans pocket, before lighting one, and taking a puff.
"Keep her busy…I need to be out all day, riding motorcycle…" Alex said to Bill, before rushing out of the refectory room.
Elena swept her forehead with the back of her right hand, while for the second day in a row, cleaning vegetables in the small underground kitchen, with the lack of ventilation, and the very small confinement she was standing in, she kept fighting the urge to simply putting her head on the counter, and sleep her way through it.
Alex kept her away from the children quarter, and she had little ideas, if not none, of what was going out in there. She closed her eyes for a short moment, while taking deep breaths. She hated herself for this morning…She hated herself so much! Why did she have to burst the existence of Rose to his face? She should have kept quiet about her…Now, there was no way of telling if he would not come after Rose…and put danger in her life in the same time. Even, if a big a voice inside of her was whispering, for the strangest reason, that Alex would not harm Rose!
A cracking noise coming from the door, made her turn her head suddenly.
"Hello!" Samantha saluted her, while taking a few steps to reach her.
"Hello sweetie…" Elena murmured to the little girl, while taking her in her arms, and putting her on a kitchen stool. "What are you doing here? Are you going to be in trouble?" Elena asked her, while caressing her hair.
"No…We are never in trouble in here!" She responded to Elena, while shaking her head in negation and giggling, before putting her hand in front of her mouth.
"How were you able to come here?" Elena questioned her.
"I sneak up!" Samantha answered her, while giggling a bit more.
"You like it in here?" Elena asked her, while caressing one of the little girl cheeks.
"Oh yes!" Samantha responded to Elena, while nodding her head, and smiling. "It's nice, and nobody is hurting me in here…" She added, while shaking her head.
"Hurting you, how sweetie?" Elena asked the little girl.
The little girl lost her smile, and lowered her sight away from Elena's.
"Sweetie…You can talk to me? What happened to you?" Elena asked her.
Samantha raised her head, and locked her little eyes with Elena's, before raising the sleeves of her t-shirt.
"Oh, my God…Who did this to you?" Elena exclaimed, while taking Samantha's arms in hers. Cigarettes burns and deep scares could be seen along the length of her small arms. Elena took her in her arms, while caressing her head. "Did they do this to you in here?" She asked her.
"No!" Samantha screamed at Elena, while shaking her head and adding. "Alex saved me…My foster parents were doing this to me…Alex takes care of me….And Uncle Bill is nice to me, also!"
"Uncle Bill? Wow…" Elena mumbled, with disdain, anger and disbelief, while throwing a kitchen towel on the counter, and passing a nervous hand through her hair, before facing Samantha again, and smiling to her.
"And Alex saved me, and gave me a home, where nobody could hurt me anymore…" Samantha added to Elena, while smiling timidly to her.
"Samantha!" They heard a voice calling the little girl, making Elena startled in surprise. "What are you doing in here? Go back to the children quarter!" Bill ordered Samantha to do.
Samantha lowered her sleeves, before holding out her arms for Elena to put her down of the stool, then, she ran toward Bill, who had kneeled on the floor, before encircling his neck and kissing him on the cheek, making Elena open her eyes in amazement.
"Go back with the others…" Bill said to the child, while kissing her forehead, and before slapping gently her bottom, making her giggle and leave the kitchen in a run.
Bill got up, before locking his eyes with Elena's.
"What did you put in Alex head now?' He angrily asked her, while pointing a finger at her.
"Nothing…" She mumbled to him, while turning her back at him, and facing the counter, before being grabbed on her right forearm and turned to face him.
"Is Rose nothing?" He questioned her, making her almost jumped out of her skin, while bending his head at a near inch of hers, lowering his sight, while fixating her lips for a second.
"You know…" She breathed to him, while locking her eyes with his.
"Yes, I now…" He responded to her, before adding. "…I know the last plan you put in your head, to wrap Alex around your little finger! You are despicable Elena!"
"I am despicable?" She yelled at Bill, while pushing him away from her, and adding. "You got to be kidding me? I've been kidnapped against my will, and I am despicable?"
"You're lucky that you are still alive!" Bill told her, while lighting one of his cigarette.
"Oh yes! Of course…" She exclaimed, while gesturing with her arms. "…I should be grateful for the fact that neither Alex nor you sucked up my blood out of my body, yet! Oh, but wait, Alex can't do it, or he would have done it!" She lashed out at Bill.
"For God sake, aren't you able to see how infatuated he is with you?" Bill screamed at her, while gesturing with his hands, making Elena startled with surprise.
"I've known Alex for years now…And I never saw him so turn inside out for a woman before…He's like a puppy in love!" Bill lashed out, with anger, to Elena, before adding. "Does he look like a puppy to you?"
Elena felt her heart beats rising dangerously in her chest, while listening to Bill's admission.
"You must be mistaken ... I think he's in love with his reflection in his mirror, and the bloody carnage that he is creating in his trail of terror!" She lashed out at Bill, still shaking up by what Bill told her.
"You know so little about him, Elena…" Bill replied to her, while crushing his cigarette in an ash tray, and crossing his arms in front of his chest, before adding. "…And yet you are continuing to make him believe that he is Damon Salvatore, why?"
"Because he is…" Elena screamed, at one inch of Bill face, adding. "…And if you were honest with yourself, you would tell me that a part of you knows it!" She added to him, while raising her chin in the air, and locking her glare with his.
"But you see Elena, I'm not an honest guy…I'm just a fucking vampire! And your fucking story is not adding up!" Bill lashed out in her face. "Let say for the sake of argument, that Alex was/is Damon Salvatore…He was a vampire…And yet, you seem to be freaking out every damn time that you see a trace of blood flowing from Alex's mouth…So sweetheart, you don't meet the condition to be a nice vampire girlfriend!" Bill viciously added to her.
Elena closed her fists with anger, while fuming inside of her at his saying.
"Damon had humanity in him…Alex is just a monster!" Elena angrily mumbled in her teeth.
"No, Elena…You need to portray Alex as a monster in your head…But, monster wouldn't safe children from misery, the way he does…And you know it!" Bill screamed, while pointing a finger at her, before adding. "But you prefer to close your pretty little eyes, and not see the good in him! And you want to know why? Because you hate the fact that Alex is a vampire as much as you hated the fact that Damon Salvatore was one!"
Elena's right hand slapped Bill face in a matter of second. After taking a step backward, she stood still in front of him, while feeling tears running fluently on her cheeks. Bill touched his cheek with his left hand, while raising an angry stare at her.
"The truth hurts, doesn't it, Elena?" He said to her, before turning his back at her, and leaving her alone, in the underground kitchen.
She breathed a sigh of relief, when she saw the door closing behind him, in a big slamming noise. She closed her eyes, and took a deep breathe, to calm herself down, before turning her sight at the kitchen counter and the tasks at hands. It is that moment that she noticed the small folded picture that must have dropped on the cement floor from one of Bill's pocket. She bended her upper body to pick it up and unfolding it. She saw the yellowish picture of a blonde woman, with two young twin boys in her arms. She raised her sight to look at the close door, before folding it again, and sliding it in one of her jeans skirt pocket.
Alex stopped the Transam, with a big roar engine noise, in the middle of nowhere, near a small lake in the wood, before turning his sight on Elena, who was rubbing nervously her hands together, while looking at her surroundings.
"Why did you bring me here?" She asked him, while staring at the lake through her side window.
"To talk…" He responded to her.
If he had brought her here in the intention of killing her, it would have been done rapidly, with no eyewitness from miles to help her. But she knew better! He was too much in need of her presence to help him control his aneurisms; he would not risk killing her now. But, she was willing to pass time with him, if this meant gaining time to keep him away from Rose.
"Get out!" Alex ordered her, while stepping out of his sport car, before slamming his passenger door, in a big bang noise, directing his walk toward the trunk of the car, before opening it.
Elena followed his movements toward the back of the car, until seeing only the trunk door in the inside mirror, before stepping out the car herself, and walking toward its front.
Alex took two bottles of beers from a box, before walking back to reach her standing position.
"Beer, Princess?" He asked her, while showing her a bottle, to which she nodded in negation, while taking a sitting place on the hood of the car, before seeing a flying object come toward her, while catching the bottle in her hands, in the time of slip second.
"Wow…Good catcher!" Alex mockingly said to her.
"What is the fucking point of you asking me if I want a beer, if you will order me to drink it, anyway?" Elena busted at him, while turning the cap open, and taking a big gulp of the bottle, to calm her nerves.
"And she just swore? Wow…The point…" Alex started explaining to her, with a smirk on his face, while taking a sitting place on the hood, near her, before adding. "…Is that I love to see you all Princess like…With your big attitude, and drama…it's always putting a smile on my face!" He replied to her, while gulping his bottle, and staring at the moon, and its glow reflecting on the lake. "I, for the life of me can't imagine that it's not a big fucking front that you're showing to anyone who wants to believe in it…" He added, while turning his head and staring into her eyes for a short moment, before banging his bottle on hers. "…Cheers, Princess!"
Elena glared at him, for a second, before passing her tongue at him. Something about Alex, was completely getting under her skin…It was like he was waking up a part of her that was screaming to come out…A part that the bad alter ego of Damon had slowly brought into light, and she was not feeling at ease with it.
"I can have fun…" She angrily mumbled in her teeth, adding. "…I used to being able to have fun…I was more carefree, and a bit wild…I used to be more relax!" She confessed, almost incoherently, to him, while nodding her head, and taking another gulp of the amber liquid, before staring at the moon.
"What happened?" Alex asked her, while staring at her, adding. "You met Damon Salvatore, and it went out of the window…" He mockingly asked her.
"You must mean that I met you…" She replied sarcastically, making him grin and startle a little.
"Oh, right…Forgot about that story part, in your fantasy world, where I am, or used to be, your ex…And, can we say: love of your life, because was he the love of your life, Elena?" Alex asked her, in a mocking tone of voice; making her bite the inside of her cheeks in anger…He was always finding a way to hurt her.
"You are him! And Damon is the father of my little girl…Alex!" She replied to him, with sarcasm, to prick deep inside of him, while gulping the entirety of her bottle.
"Oh right, Rose…The little girl…You know what, I would love to meet her someday!" He replied to her, while watching her close her fists in anger, and throwing the bottle of beer on the ground.
"Go to hell, Alex…I don't want to play your sick game anymore!" She replied to him, while jumping away from the hood of the car, taking a few walking steps, away from him, before standing in front of the lake with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Ok…We won't play anymore then, Elena…" He replied to her, while throwing his own bottle on the ground, and walking to reach her standing position. "How is it even fucking possible, that you could have been pregnant from a vampire?" Alex asked her, in a false calmer tone of voice.
"What? You brought me here to have a chit chat? You're willing to listen to me, now?" Elena sarcastically asked him.
"I brought you here because I knew that we could let go of our anger as much as we wanted to...It seems that you have a lot inside of you!" Alex answered her, while keeping his stare fixated on her.
"What, Alex…You are afraid of your little vampires friends hearing us fight…I've been fighting you with every breath that I have inside of myself, since the first day I lay my eyes on you…I think they already figured how much I hate you by now!" She lashed out to him.
"Yes, Elenea…They figured that out, alright…Especially, when you're screaming my name from the top of your lungs at night, for none other reason than those feelings of hate that you have toward me, sweetheart!" He sarcastically screamed back at her, at one inch of her face, making her blush, and avoid looking at him in the eyes, for a moment. He passed a nervous hand through his hair, to calm himself down, before continuing. "Once again you always think the worst of me…You're seeing only what you want to see!" He angrily replied to her, while grabbing her left forearm, and turning her to face him, before adding. "I brought you here, because it is nobody's business but our own, to discuss you little girl, Rose!" Elena stared in Alex eyes in surprise, while trying to catch her breath.
"Don't tell me that Rose was not the latest joke subject between you and your thugs?" She lashed out at him.
"Believe what you want, Elena!" He replied to her, pushing her away from him, while pacing back and forth near her standing position, with both of his hands placed on each side of his waist, before stopping on his track, lowering his head to calm himself, and adding while raising his head up and locking his eyes with hers. "…Bill knows, but he is the only one!"
"I know…He talked to me about it!" She whispered to him.
"Will you answer my questions openly if I ask them to you? You wanted me to know…I can listen to you…If, and only if you're not trying to play me for a fool, Elena?" Alex asked her, while approaching her again, putting his two hands on her shoulders and staring his deep blue eyes in hers. She nodded her head to him, while keeping her stare in his.
"How is it possible that I…" He started to ask her, while grinning, closing his eyes and fists in anger, for a quick moment, before starting again. "…That Damon Salvatore, as a vampire, could have engendered a child?"
"Like I told you…You…" She started explaining to him, while closing her eyes for a short moment, she was about to give her trust to the devil himself…But, she needed to listen to her sixth sense, that was telling her at this present moment, that it was alright to trust Alex, that a part of Damon was showing through him. She started again. "…He was under a curse…It's a complicated and long story…." She explained to him, while rubbing her hands together. "I am, somehow, related to an ancient vampire…Who believes that I am the one needed to perform a sacrifice, to give him the power to become a hybrid."
"An ancient vampire, who wants to be both vampire and werewolf, why would he want that" Alex asked her, while shaking his head and shrugging his shoulders.
"I don't know…" She told him, while shaking her head herself.
"Go on…" Alex told her to do.
"One of his warlocks put a curse on you…sorry, on Damon…And, he became very sick and human!" Elena explained to him, while seeing Alex rolled his eyes and shaking his head in disbelief. "If it is to watch you have this attitude toward me…Forget it!" She angrily lashed out at him, while turning on herself to reach the car, before being stopped by Alex, who put his body in front of her, with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"Elena, continue please…I'm listening…" He said to her, adding. "…But you have to understand that it is really far edge for me to believe this shit!"
Elena looked into his eyes, and saw for the first time, some sincere need for him to learn more about Damon and Rose.
"Damon was brought into a convent for safety…I went to see him…I…" Elena tried to explain, while feeling tears filling her eyes, before putting a hand in front of mouth, and turning her head away from him, to which he responded by raising and turning her chin to make her look at him.
"What happened?" He asked her.
"We passed the night together, it was the last time I saw him actually…" She said to him, while nodding her head.
"You made love that night?" He asked her, raising one of his eyebrows, while making her blush.
"Yes…" She simply answered him, while lowering her stare.
"When was that?" He asked her more.
"Five years ago…" She told him, while looking at him.
Alex sighed, while shaking his head, it was the exact same time that he had find himself alone, and without any memory of his previous life.
"Ok, what next?" He asked her.
"He was dying…We were at that time in contact with another powerful warlock…" She explained to him.
"We…Who are you talking about?" He questioned her.
"Damon's brother and I…" She replied to him.
"What's his name?" He asked her.
"I told you his name already…Is it really that important?" She replied to him, while raising her chin to him.
"Yes, and you will repeat it again…I want to know every details of your story!" He said to her, while locking his eyes in hers.
"Stefan…His name is Stefan!" She lashed out at him.
"Go on…" He asked her.
"Charles Brownston…It was the name of the warlock who helped us reverse the curse…You…I mean, Damon Salvatore became a vampire again, but…the curse was curse in itself, Damon lost all his past memory…and…."
"And…" Alex questioned her.
"And, He…He became an amnesic… A shadow of what he used to be…He attacked several people in the convent, very viciously, before leaving…Then, we lost him…He was gone…He …He had become an animal with no memory of his family, his past, or myself." She explained to him, while feeling tears running on her cheeks, sweeping them away with the back of her hands.
Alex turned on himself, while showing his back to her, and closing his eyes.
"Then, you learned that you were pregnant?" He asked her to confirm.
"Yes…I left couple a weeks after the incident for Boston…I was registering for the first semester in the nursing program." She explained to him, continuing. "I was already there when I realized that I was pregnant…" She murmured to him, as a late confession.
Alex kept quiet, while staring at the lake in front of him for a long moment.
"Alex, please say something…" Elena asked him.
"So, let me get this straight…" He said to her, while turning on himself and facing her, with a false calm tone in his voice, creating shivers of fear through her all body. "You are absolutely sure that I was…and still am - pick your choice, sweetheart, Damon Salvatore?" He added while gesturing with his hands to her.
"Yes…" She murmured to her, while feeling tears filling her eyes.
"And that I became this monstrous vampire that I am now because of a curse?" He added to her, while taking a few steps to reach her standing position, making Elena raise her chin to face him. She had find strength inside of herself to finally tell him the truth…And he was going to turn it against her, she could feel it in her guts!
"Don't do this!" She angrily mumbled in her teeth, while shaking her head.
"Oh, but you see, it is my turn to talk now, Princess!" He replied to her, while reaching for his pack of cigarette, before lighting one, and taking a few puffs, to calm his nerves.
"So, this Damon Salvatore, being me or not…Was he or was he not the man you loved?" Alex asked her, while turning his angry stare at her.
"Yes, and I still love him, even if he is apparently gone for good!" She replied hurtfully to Alex.
"And all these years, you never thought for a split second that maybe, somewhere, somehow that man would need you? Would want for you to try to find him? Would want you to fight for him?" Alex lashed out at her.
"I…" She tried to explain to him, before turning her head, and closing her eyes in turmoil.
"Because…I am not a freaking expert in this emotion that humans are calling love, but it seems to me that you did not love him very much, Princess!" Alex sarcastically said to her.
"You have no right to say that to me! You know nothing about me and Damon!" She screamed at his face, while closing her fists in anger.
"Well…You gave me all the right in the world, the day that you told me that I was Damon Salvatore!" He busted at her, while angrily throwing his cigarette on the ground, and crushing it with the tip of his biker boots. "What about Rose?"
"What about her?" Elena asked him, with fear.
"What about her? Are you kidding me, Princess? You try to make me swallow that I am Damon Salvatore…Then you burst in my face that I have a daughter…and you're asking me, what about her?" Alex lashed out in her face.
"I…" Elena started explaining to him, before lowering her head. "…I only wanted to protect her from what Damon had become."
"You mean, from the monster you think I am?" Alex said to her. "The monster, who you think has no idea how to love?"
"Everyone is capable of love, Alex…You just need to want it…To be teach…" She replied to him.
"And you would teach me, Elena?" Alex asked her.
Elena raised her head in surprise, while feeling the beats of her heart raising dangerously, locking her teary eyes in his, before blushing.
"That's what I thought…Who would be able to compete with the image that you have of your precious Damon Salvatore?" He mockingly told her, while shaking his head, and smirking.
"I'm sorry…" She murmured to him, while feeling the tears running on her cheeks.
Elena passed by him, before directing her unstable walking steps toward the passenger door of the car, putting her hands on the handle, before being turned and pushed on the door by Alex, while holding her still with both of his hands placed on her shoulders.
"Let me go, Alex…" She mumbled to him, putting her hands on his chest, to push him away, without succeeding, while keeping her head down.
"No…" He simply answered to her, while holding his grip on her. "…Look at me!" He ordered her, while raising her chin in his right hand. "…I need to see Rose!"
"Oh no, please no…Do whatever you want with me, but leave Rose alone…Please, I beg you!" She asked him.
"I'm a lot of things, Elena…But a children murderer is not one of those things!" He angrily mumbled to her.
"I know…" She admitted to him, making him raise one of his eyebrows in surprise.
"He's gone Elena…" He murmured back to her, while holding her chin in his hand, forcing her to lock her teary stare with his. "Even if I am that man…He's gone…You need to let him go for ever, now…I could never be him, because …Because, I am what I am now!"
"NO!" She screamed from the top of her lungs, before hitting his chest with her close fists, in anger and desperation.
"Elena!" He screamed at her, while holding her wrists in his hands, and pushing his body on hers. "Calm down!"
"He can't be gone…He can't …" She mumbled almost incoherently to him, before lowering her head on his chest, and crying her eyes out, almost letting herself fall on the ground if Alex had not caught her, by encircling her waist, and holding her in his arms.
"Shh…" He murmured to calm her down, lowering his chin in top of her head, slowly raising one of his hands in her hair, while caressing them, to calm her convulsion, before closing his own eyes.
Elena cried in his arms for a long time…She cried her lost, her pain, her turmoil, her misery...It's with a last convulsion that she slowly raised her head and puffy eyes to look at Alex.
"You're ok?" He murmured to her, while caressing her head, to which she nodded slowly.
Alex raised one of his hands to caress her left cheek, before passing slowly his thumb on the swallowing part of her bottom lips, while locking his eyes with hers. Elena could not breathe or think anymore, she could only hear the fast beats of her heart, only see Alex blue eyes, before lowering her sight on his mouth, and seeing himself lowered his head to feel a second later his lips crashing passionately on hers. She put her hands on his chest, sliding them on his neck, before grabbing his long hair, gluing her body on his, and kissing him back. He lowered his right hand on her lower back, pushing her pelvis in direct contact with his, while sliding his tongue to part her lips open, tasting the sweet taste of her mouth, before sliding both of his hands, on her back, under her t-shirt, and caressing her tattooed skin, making her moan with intense pleasure, while feeling his hands on her bare skin.
He lowered his hands on her bottom, elevating her body in his arms, while making her cross her legs around his waist, before carrying her in his arms to the front of the car, while devouring her mouth with passion.
Alex lowered her body on the Transam hood, before passing his t-shirt above his head, and throwing it on the ground; she strengthened her body, sliding her hands on his chest, feelings the softness of his skin and hard muscles under her the caresses of her fingers. He lowered his head near her neck, devouring her skin, in a mix of kissing and licking, while rolling her t-shirt upward, sliding his mouth after on her belly, feeling her squirm under the touch of his lips and tongue.
"Elena…Elena…" He whispered repeatedly, while pushing the t-shirt above her chest, before passing it over her head, and throwing it on the ground in top of his, lowering his head on her black bra, before sucking her right nipples through the lace fabric, making her close her eyes, opening her mouth, and pushing his head nearer her chest, while screaming his name.
He reached, while sliding his hands on her back, the clip of her bra, before sliding its straps and fabric away from her breasts. Elena lowered her body on the hood, while feeling Alex's body lying in top of hers, and his mouth sucking her breasts, while his hands reached the mini skirt buttons and zipper, before pushing it down on her legs away from her body, slowly rising his right hand, inside her thighs, while grabbing softly, the tender part of her skin, before sliding his fingers under the elastic band of her lace panties, feeling on his fingers the intense desire she had for him, in her intense wetness.
"I want you…I want you…" She mumbled almost incoherently to him, while shaking her head from right to left, her eyes and mouth closed, while begging him to take her.
"I can feel that…" He responded to her, while caressing her center, and slowly entering his finger in her, to which she elevated her pelvic to give him more access. It was official to him now: this woman would, one day, be the death of him.
Elena gently pushed him away from her, before lowering her hands on his jeans belt, while opening it, and sliding his zipper, before sliding the fabric away from his pelvic part, he jumped away from the car, before getting rid of the rest of his clothes, lowering his upper body near her legs, before taking in his mouth the lace of her panties, and making it slide on her legs.
"Alex…Please!" She begged him again, while looking at him with pleading eyes.
"Shh…We have all night, Princess…" He whispered to her, before opening her legs, and slowly bending his head on her center, while tasting her avidly with his mouth and tongue, making her squirm and scream his name even more. Then, she felt cold? She opened her eyes, before seeing him lie in top of her, and so very slowly entering his length in her walls.
"Ohh…" She murmured in pure bliss, while passing the tip of her tongue on her bottom lips, sliding her hands on his back, before scratching his muscular back skin with her nails.
"Open your eyes…" He whispered to her, while increasing his thrusting in her, to which she obeyed him. "Who do see?" He asked her, while locking his eyes with hers. He needed to know that the memory of Damon Salvatore was not with them at this moment.
"I see…" She started answering him, before pausing, and continuing. "…I see you, Alex!" She finally confessed to him.
Alex closed his eyes, in satisfaction, before reopening them, and lowering his mouth on top of hers.
"Ohh…It's so good…" She mumbled to him, while feeling the first contraction hit her.
"I'll make love to you all night, love…" He responded in a whisper to her, while feeling her reach her peak, his coming shortly after, before adding. "Then, we'll go back home after…"
Underground, early morning, next day
The man stepped out of the industrial elevator, that brought him and two of his vampire men into Alex's underground. He signed them with his hands, silently, to follow his steps, while stepping into the narrow and dark corridors, before arriving in the middle of an open underground space/room. He stopped, while signing his man to hold back their walking pace behind him, hearing the loading of weapons. He held his hands above his head, while smirking.
"I come in peace!" He said out loud, before seeing a man getting out of his dark hiding space.
Alex's vampire man approached him, while locking his stare in the man's and noticing his none heartbeat.
"He's a vampire!" The thug screamed into the empty space, making others show their faces, with their weapons in their hands.
"Now, gentlemen…We all know that your weapons won't be of any help against the vampires that we are…There is no need to get upset!" The man sarcastically said, while gesturing with his hands in negation, and smirking to them, before adding. "I'm just here to meet your boss…I heard quite a few extraordinary stories about him, and your crusades as the terrorizing biker group of vampires…And, WOW! I am quite fascinated actually."
"Why would he be interested in meeting you?" Bill sarcastically replied, while showing his face out of the shadow, while limping with his injured leg toward the intruder. "And you would be disturbing him; he is busy watching his favourite program on television right now…You see he's a big fan of I love Lucy re-runs!" Bill added to the intruder, hearing Alex's men bursting into laughter at his joke.
"Ah…I'm a sucker for good humor!" The man replied, while smiling, and shaking his head, before adding. "You must be his right arm man, in all his glory?" The man added to Bill, with a sarcastic humor, and a smile plastered on his face, while crossing his arms in front of his chest, and taking a few steps himself, to reach him. "Well, make him interested then my friend, I'm not in the habit of being patient!" The man added to Bill.
"Well, then you could take your ass out of here…And go see if you can find him elsewhere!" Bill answered him, while hearing Alex's men bursting into laughter a second time.
"Or I could rip your leaver into pieces in a second!" The man responded, while bending his head near Bill's, and angrily adding as an order. "Make him show himself to me, now!"
"It's very hard that someone would be able to make me do something that I don't want to do!" A cold and ordering voice exclaimed loudly, making the man raise his head and smirk at Alex's appearance, in top of a steel platform.
Alex came down the steel stairs, while approaching the man's standing position, before placing his body in front of his, and locking his cold-icy stare with the stranger's.
"Who are you, and what gives you the idea that you can enter my world without any consequences, while thinking that you will have the slimmest chance to get out of here without me slicing you into pieces?" Alex asked the man in front of him, while placing his hands on each side of his waist.
"Who wants to know?" The vampire man sarcastically replied to him, while approaching his face at a near inch of Alex's.
"You worst nightmare…" Alex responded to the man, before lowering his head and spitting on the man's boots. "…Oh my bad, I can be so clumsy sometimes" He added to him, while smirking at the man.
"Mm…" The man mumbled to Alex, while looking at his soiled boots and raising his stare back in Alex's. "You're so arrogant now…So pretentious…I like it!" The man added to him, while taking a few walking steps around Alex, before coming back in front of him, and continuing. "You can simply call me Klaus!"
