:Damon whilst stalking Elena outside her bedroom window contemplate's Elena's decison sacrifice herself To Klaus... Knowing with an annoying amount of Self-Hypocrisy, He can definitely relate. (Before Rose is bitten.)
Dear Unholy Non-existant God. He thought swallowing another quick swig of Burboun from his flask, I'm becoming a masochist, no wait... Worse I'm becoming a Stefan... Kill me now.
He frowned and complained alittle more inside his head, he hated stalking humans. In his eyes they were boring and gross.
Elena was an exception to his; No stalking gross humans rule. She was currently on sucide watch, who knows? She might sneak out and find some other monster to kill her... She seemed drawn to the supernatrual, with any bad luck she could bump into a Darkling or maybe even a Incubus... Damon shuddered at the dark thought, remembering his own rotten luck with 'other' rather unfriendly (Hostile) creatures of the night.
Suddenly very glad he was nearer to the top of the food chain than most poor S.O.B.'s that became sucky monsters.
Damon tilted his head at an angle and grimaced. Nope. He could still see Stefan.
He had hoped if he had changed the direction of his skull, he could cut Stefab out with the sharp edge of the window, but very unfortunately for him. Damon was still punished by the sight of his little baby brother and Elena Gilbert, spooning whilst sleeping under the soft ivory covers of her two person bed.
Damon wondered with a kind of Parental Booing; Why on earth her parents would buy they're partying sixteen year-old a two person bed! And yes he knew about Elena's past party-girl status. Blame it on Caroline.
He huffed, a rather pathetic nosie for a vampire of his power. Deciding he had quite enough torture for tonight... And that Elena wouldn't be sneaking off to find 'Klaus' anytime soon.
Jumping from his crow-like perch on the tree, almost too conveniently placed outside of Elena's window. He landed with a soft thud in a crouched position, which he slowly with almost cat-like movement rose up from.
Damon decided he would walk home and slowly started towards the direction of the Boarding House.
(He just knew Rose would be there with an apology for almost getting Elena killed, and decided he would make her stew in her unforgiven state before he went and For- didn't forgive her.)
a thoughtful expression crossed the pale feature's of Damon's face, and he realized with a slight but nontheless burning irritation... That he completely understood Elena's stupid but completely selfless try at sacrificing herself to save the one's she loved, and he completely loathed himself for it. Feeling and Understanding should be left to the human population where it belonged not in the vast twisted depths of a truly evil vampire's mind.
"Humanity is a bitch." He thought outloud stuffing his cold hands into his black pockets.
Not that he was cold or anything. He just felt like it.
His mind wandered in his childhood home, as he treaded slowly back towards his new vampires lair.
Damon snorted at his Father. "Enlist? Stefan?" he asked incredulously thinking of his younger brother, whom was only seventeen and away at the Boy's Academy but a year from graduation. (Damon remebered the same expensive Boarding School all too well, the strict tutors and boring stuck-up classmates had him reeling just thinking about it.)
Giuseppe shrugged as if Stefan's life were not in any danger. "After he Graduates. I cannot have the both of my sons skipping on their patriotic duty to the confederacy."
Damon forced himself not to roll his eyes in the presence of his parent. The Confederacy was a joke. The south would surely lose,
"You're not truly serious Father." Damon's lapis eyes widened marginally and his dark eyebrows were rasied towards the ceiling, "Stefan has never even been outside of Mystic Falls, his fragile mind is only accustomed to books and fields." Damon was shouting now, "Sending him to fight would be sending him to his death!" Damon felt compelled to fight agaisnt this. He couldn't let Stefan go. He wouldn't allow his Father to do this.
Giuseppe glared at his eldest, jade eyes churning. "Thats for me to decide son, this isn't a committee. Besides you can't go, you belong here you are the first son... The sole heir."
"But-" Damon tried to reach his Father make him realize what he was about to do...but was suddenly cut off.
"My decision is final Damon. Now leave me."
Damon left his Father's poorly-lit study as quickly as he had entered it. The door slammed behind him and everything shook in his wake.
His Father's words rang in his mind and he knew he had to do something.
"I cannot have the both of my sons skipping on their patriotic duty to the confederacy."
"What. is. this?" Giuseppe nearly growled as he pounded his fist and a volunteer note from the confederacy on Damon's desk with a boiling rage.
Damon stared down at the elegant calligraphy with grim sense of morality, on the dotted lines was Damon's own carefully written signature and date of birth, the stamp verified his acceptance into the army.
Damon looked up at his Father blue eyes clashing agasint dark green one's with grim humor shining dully in his lapis blue eyes, "You cannot have both of you're sons skipping on their duty to the confederacy. Father." he replied cooly.
Yes. Damon knew of selfless self sacrifice. He understood.
