Damon needed to find Jeremy. He took off after the teenager's scent and ran as fast as he could, hoping Stefan wouldn't find him and try to kill him. He needed to suck the teen dry before he could tell anyone else what had happened. He shouldn't have let him live in the first place. He found himself running into the Mystic Fall's Graveyard. Huh. So this is where little Gilbert goes in his time of need. Damon ran faster as the scent grew stronger, and he stumbled on a scene he would never forget. Jeremy was lying on his parents' tombstone, crying his eyes out, mumbling something about wanting them there. Damon snuck behind a tree, drinking the strange sight in. When Jeremy sat up and dried his tears, Damon decided to make his move. He ran out from behind the tree, grabbed Jeremy by his neck, and slammed him into the headstone so hard that his head snapped back and began to bleed profusely.
Jeremy looked up at the vampire who had ruined his entire life. Blood was dripping into his eyes, and he was finding it harder to stay awake. His ears were fuzzy, and his vision was blurring a bit. Knowing he wouldn't be awake-or alive- much longer, Jeremy decided to speak.
"Y-you're…. a t-terrible man" he struggled to get the words out; his mouth seemed to be working against him. Damon laughed, a horrible, inhuman, screeching sound.
"You think I'm terrible? Look, I might have raped you kid, but you're the one who can't even deal with being fucked up the ass a bit! I mean, you can't think your sister actually loves you, can you? Your parents are dead, yet you still come crying to them with all of your problems. That's pathetic. You're weak, and it should be considered an honor that I'm even ending your miserable life, Jeremy Gilbert." Damon spat out the words at him, grabbing Jeremy by his neck again and squeezing. He let Jeremy go eventually, and he fell back to the ground, covered in more blood. Using all his strength, Jeremy propped himself up on one elbow, looked Damon right in the eyes, and spat out a mouthful of blood at him. Damon was wrong, and that was what made him weak. Jeremy actually had people who cared about him in the world, and Damon had no one. Damon slowly wiped his now blood covered face. He deliberately stood up, bit his wrist, and forced it into Jeremy's mouth. The blood was overwhelming, Jeremy tried to spit it back up but it sloshed down his throat, making him heal. Damon let go of him and Jeremy coughed, trying to get every last ounce of the blood out of his system, desperately not wanting to heal. If he healed, then Damon would only be able to put him through more pain. Knowing he was now fully awake, Damon picked up a large stick and broke it in half before shoving it into Jeremy's belly. Jeremy screamed in agony as the makeshift stake ripped through him, he forgot where he was, who was doing this to him, he just wanted it to stop. Then it was gone.
Damon was enjoying this. He had the youngest Gilbert-who had ruined his only hope of ever reconciling with Stefan- writhing in agony at his feet. The boy's blood stained the grass around his parents' headstone. He turned over and began to crawl away, his movements getting feeble as the blood left his body. No! He can't die yet! This is too fun! Damon grabbed Jeremy and turned him over, pressing his wrist to the boy's lips, making him drink the blood. Once he was healed, Jeremy began to struggle violently, intent on surviving this ordeal. He was only 14; he was too young to die. Jeremy kneed Damon in the crotch and took off running, only for Damon to grab him a second later. He could feel Damon's hot breath on his neck, his back uncomfortably smashed against a tree bordering the graveyard.
"You shouldn't have done that little Gilbert. You know, I wasn't going to put you through any more pain. I thought 'He's been through enough!' but apparently you're just hungering for more. Aren't you? Alright I'll oblige. I'm going to have you begging for death, Jeremy Gilbert, and only then will I kill you." Jeremy struggled as much as he could against Damon's grip. Someone come, please. Someone hear this. Stefan, Elena, anyone. How could they have not heard me scream? Next thing he knew, he was on the ground with Damon on top of him. Splinters were digging into his back, his hands grabbed aimlessly at the soil around him. Damon took out a small knife, and began to carve up Jeremy's arm. This was it. This was the worst pain Jeremy had ever felt. Not the stake, the slow, agonizing feel of the blade as it danced across his skin. He couldn't take it anymore. Jeremy had sworn to himself that he would survive this, but he couldn't do it anymore. Damon had damaged him too much.
"Please! Please, just kill me!" his strangled voice came out. Damon ignored him and hiked up his shirt, exposing Jeremy's belly. He carved a circle around Jeremy's belly button, and then dug the knife in harshly, seemingly intent on taking it out. Jeremy screamed for death once again. Anything, anything, was better than this.
Damon played with Jeremy for a little while longer before he decided to finally end it. Dusting himself off, he looked down upon the once proud boy, and grabbed the stake he had fashioned earlier. He propped Jeremy against the headstone and shoved it inside his stomach, twisting it in an effort to get more delicious screams out of Jeremy. Damon walked out of the cemetery, leaving a dying Jeremy. Jeremy's vision blurred as he mulled over his life, knowing no one was coming to save him this time. How would Elena react when she found out? How long would it take to find his body? All questions he shouldn't have to be asking himself. Well, he thought as the blackness started to overtake him, his hands still positioned needlessly over his stomach in an effort to stop the bleeding, at least he was here with his parents.
"I'm not worthless" he muttered with a mouth full of blood, taking his last breath. Jeremy Gilbert was finally at peace.
A/N: I would like you guys to know that I in no way agree with the actions of Damon. In this story, he is a vile, cruel character who has no redeeming qualities. Also, this isn't the end of the story, Damon will get his dues, I promise you that.
