I Don't Own Vampire Diaries That's The Beautiful L. J Smith
Stefan's POV
Damon took off into the shadows of the surrounding trees. Elena made a move to follow after him, but I stopped her. "He'll be fine," I said trying to convince Elena and myself. He knocked on Bonnie's door.
It took awhile before I heard the lock click and the door opened. Bonnie stood there, already in her pajamas. She blinked sleepily, but she quickly woke up when she saw Elena and I. "E-Elena? What's going on?" She asked worry completely filling her voice.I understood. They rarely brought good news for Bonnie.
Elena was about to answer but I stepped in. "Bonnie, we have a problem. Can we come in?" I asked hurriedly. We needed to get inside as soon as possible and stay inside. I didn't like being outside at night, not right now. I knew this was Raven's strongest time of day and I wouldn't put Elena in danger.
Bonnie looked doubtful of letting a vampire into her house and again I could understand. My brother hadn't given Bonnie good memories. Once she let him in she couldn't take in back. She looked determined not to let them in when she saw Elena's worried and a little frightened face.
She sighed and moved aside. "Come on in." Her Grams would have hated that she let a vampire into they're house, but it wasn't like it was Damon. Bonnie trusted me. Even if it was a little bit, it was more then she trusted Damon.
Bonnie led them into her living room. She was home alone, since her family had a funeral to plan. Stefan felt terrible for the incident at the old church. Everyone sat around the coffee table facing each other.
"Bonnie," I began, breaking the silence that started to settle. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry about your grandmother." Bonnie choked up and needed a moment before I went on. The fire behind her flickered angrily, as a tear ran down her face.
"If that's all you came to say it could have waited until school," she said, standing up ready to show them out.
"Bonnie, please we need your help," Elena blurted out. "There's another witch here in town. An evil one." Elena knew that Bonnie was hurting but she also knew that Bonnie would help. Even after everything they were still friends.
Bonnie paused. "Tell me everything," Bonnie replied, getting comfortable on the couch. If this was an old friend of mine then the story was sure to be long.
Damon's POV
I took off into the dark forest. I knew it was dangerous, to be following Raven in the dark. I knew from personal experience what she could do with the help of the dark. It was just a reaction, following her. I mostly did it for Elena's safety, but also because she might know where Katherine was.
I was still confused on if I even wanted to find Katherine. She had been alive and known where I was for the past 100 years and hasn't come for me. Why should I keep searching for someone who doesn't even want me? My pace slowed as my thoughts raced around Katherine.
"Well, well, well," I heard from the up above. I searched the tree line, but couldn't see anyone. "If it isn't the oldest Salvatore brother." I realized too late where the voice was coming from. Suddenly I was knocked down and lying on the ground with Raven on top of me.
"Raven Craw. Would say what a pleasure, but then I would be lying," I growled in an attempt to scare her off. I knew it wouldn't work. We both knew that Raven was much stronger then me and if she wanted to would have already killed me.
"When have you ever cared about lying to anyone?" she replied with a slight edge in her voice. I was known for lying and she knew from experience that time doesn't change anyone. Over all these years she was exactly the same.
Raven stood up. And walked a distance away from me. I knew that she couldn't stop blaming him for everything. The memories from over a hundred years came flooding back and it took everything I had left not to beg for her forgiveness
"What do you want here?" I asked standing up and brushing myself off like it was nothing. "It's been about 100 years and you just decided to take a walk down memory lane?" I was pissed that I let her get the jump on me, but I wasn't going to show her that.
"I have my reasons," she mumbled looked up at the star filled sky. I was shocked. Raven was usually snarky and sarcastic, but now she was quite and seemed nervous. I had only seen her do this once before. It was the night before Katherine and the others were caught.
I remembered that her and Katherine had stopped hanging out and would barely speak to each other unless it was demanded of them. The night before Katherine was caught Raven packed up the little that she owned and disappeared into the shadows. He remembered running into her in my parent's old garden.
"Ms. Craw is that you sneaking off into the night?" a younger me asked. It was 1893. The summer air was cooler then normal, the soft breeze blowing. The night was filled with stars and the scent of flowers coming from the surrounding garden.
I was taking a breath of fresh air. Katherine had worn me out earlier that night and I needed a break. Katherine was always pushing me to my limits and I regretfully needed time to recover.
"Mr. Salvatore. I didn't realize you were out here as well," Raven mumbled softly. She walked out from the shadows that she was hiding in and walked closer to me. "I figured you would be with Ms. Katherine."
Her hair was pulled in to a tight bun at the back of her neck. I noticed that a curl had gotten loose and was framed around her flawless face. She was wearing an old dress covered in dirt and grime. I found this odd since I myself had just recently bought her some expensive clothes.
"Will you join me?" I asked standing and offering out my hand to her. She stared at it as if debating whether she should take it. Eventually she took like we both knew she would and I led her through the garden. I stopped at a bench in the center of the garden labyrinth.
It was both of our favorite spot, and we both knew it. We would sometimes sit and chat together when Katherine was away or fooling around with Stefan. We had become close and friendly with each other, although not like Katherine and I.
"I really must be leaving soon Mr. Salvatore," Raven said meekly, looking down at her dusty shoes. For the first time I noticed that Raven face was blotchy red like she had been crying, and that a bag laid at her feet.
"W-Where are you going Raven?" I asked, dropping all formalities in my rush. Raven was one of my true friends. Someone who I could actually talk to and share my secrets with. I trusted her and didn't know what I would do with out her.
"Damon…something bad is about to happen and I can't risk being around here when it does," Raven answered, standing up. She bent down to reach for her bag, but I beat her to it. I grabbed it and held it away from her.
"Does Katherine know that you're leaving?" I asked carefully. She stopped trying to reach for her bag, and took a step back. She looked around as if she was worried that someone was around to over hear them.
"Please, Damon, there's not much time. I've tried to warn Katherine, but she won't listen so I'll tell you. You know what Katherine is, and soon so will everyone else," she paused and took another quick look around. "I know that you won't leave her, but please…don't follow her. If she's caught then let her die."
Anger ran through me and coursed through his veins. How dare she speak like that about Katherine? After all Katherine has done for her. They were supposed to be friends. Best friends. And here Raven is abandoning her like she means nothing to her.
"I would never abandon her like you're about to," I spat out in reply, throwing her bag at her feet. "Leave and don't return. I'm done with you." I turned away and began walking back to the house. I wanted to forget about ever meeting Raven tonight. From behind me I could hear the sounds of someone softly crying.
I stared at Raven from across the clearing. "You were right, you know," I said softly to her. "About everything."
Raven looked up at me for the first time in 100 years. I looked into her deep blue eyes and began to remember everything. All the summer days and nights with each other. The talks and moments spent with her. For the first time in 100 years I actually felt the longing for a true friend again.
"I know," Raven replied looking away from me once again. A shot of hurt went through me at her action. I took a step closer to her. At once Raven was tensed and ready for a fight. I froze. Mid step.
"Raven…," I said softly.
"No," she said before I could even finish. Her voice was hard and upset. "I don't want to hear it from you or your brother. I'm here to warn her and I won't let you stop me." In the blink of an eye she was gone, and once again I was all alone in the night.
Awwww Poor Damon :( Don't you Just Feel So Bad For Him? Well I Hope You Liked It And I Promise The Next One Won't Take So Long.
Review? :)
