Hey guys! Sorry took long; school got me on the edge lately. For those who don't know yet I've updated on Damon's Journal Ch. 14/15 Some Entrance and Secret Revealed. Anyway, here is Chapter 8 on Immortal Soul. Enjoy :D
Previously on Immortal Soul
"Dark Dimensions?" he said, questionably. "Ah, but first let's get you out of here. You been missing for a while mon ami."
"Sure"
And with that Sage clap his huge hand on Damon's shoulder and guides him out of the gray world.
She smirk at him, "Nope, all I need is a relative, a sibling of blood and that's where you come in."
Stefan sighed,
Great I'm going to be her guinea pig for her experiments today.
Wonderful…
"Thank you Sage" Damon said, as he drank from the warm cup of hot chocolate. "You know it's weird when you say thank you, mon ami."
Damon frowns, "Why?"
"Well let's just say you weren't the nicest person on earth…or anywhere for that matter."
They were sitting inside Sage's house; actually, it was an abandon building with a few broken windows and some rat wondering about.
They have gotten out of the gray world quicker than Damon expected. Surprisingly, he was close to the exit when Sage found him, so he didn't have to look very far. Then they had to cross some white-mystical-world.
It was as bear as the place he woken up from, no life from anywhere; except a few bare trees. Damon was sure that if you dig deep enough, in the snow, you might find some green grass. Though he was sure, he didn't eat grass for that matter.
They walk some more until they entered a world of red, literally. The place was huge, an entire city underground, the sky was crimson red and the huge bloody ball was beginning to set.
"Welcome mon ami, welcome to the Dark Dimensions!" Sage announce once they arrived. (Sage, also, went to the nearest clothing store to buy a shirt and pants for Damon.)
Then he led Damon into this small abandon neighborhood, it look abandon to Damon but there where people there-and watching him.
"Ah Sage why are they watching me?" he asked.
Sage look up to the people, "Well its been awhile since you here and the last time you were, you kind of go into trouble."
"I did?"
"Yes, mon ami sournoise (devious), you cause come trouble here at the Dark Dimensions. I will explain later." Damon nod quickly and followed Sage.
They continue down the path and made a sharp turn to the right where an abandon building lied. "This is my home, mon ami. Come! Enter!"
The first thing that Damon thought was Whoa, sage is a messy guy.
Even though the place was crawling with some rats, it felt like he was staying at a clothing department after a hurricane. Clothes where everywhere, mostly they were pants, socks, shorts, and disturbingly underwear. Shoes where scattered all around the brown title floor.
"I know its messy but do not worry I'll clean up!"
Sage closed his eyes in concentration and waves his hand around the jungle of clothes. Suddenly all of the clothes went flying across the room.
"Whoa!" Damon yelps as he dodges a flying boot. Then in a blink of an eye, everything was clean and organized.
"H-how did you do that?" ask Damon, bewildered. "I am a Guardian. I have powers beyond your imagination." he smiled, proudly.
"What are Guardians?"
"The Guardians are…well technically they are the rulers of the Dark Dimensions. Actually, there are four dimensions. First one is Earth, were human live their lives without knowing that mystical creatures exists.
They rather think they rule the world.
Secondly is here dimension sombres, Dark Dimension. Here is were all the mystical creatures you know vampires, demons, kitsunes rule here. Can live their lives here, and the humans are our slaves."
Damon nodded, listening intensely. "Third is the Nether World where I found you. The Nether World is nothing but it is home of the Seven Kitsune Treasures…well six treasures. I am one of the Guardians there." he said.
"And the fourth?" Damon questioned.
"Well the fourth is a bit of a mystery. There are rumors that the fourth were the Goddess is. She is really the one who created the Dimensions and places the Guardians as protectors of each one.
No one knows how to arrive to the fourth dimension, only angels and messengers of her and Goddess herself knows."
"Who is she really?"
"I don't know mon ami. I just hear rumors and stories about her, never known for sure." he replied.
"What's the fourth dimension called?" said Damon as he took a sip of this cup.
"I believe it's called "Matris Caelestis" Heavenly Mother in Latin."
Damon nodded trying to observe all the information.
Sage walk back into his kitchen and brought out a bottle of what look like wine.
"Black Magic Wine, not as nutritious as real blood but it gets the job done." Damon frowned, "Blood?"
"Yes of course mon ami! How do you expect a vampire to survive with?"
Damon got up his seat fast, making Sage confused and get up as well.
"V-Vampire?"
Sage sighed heavily "Oh, I got lots of explaining to do don't I?"
~ Bonnie and Stefan~
"Okay so how does this work?" asked Stefan, who was now fully dressed in a brown shirt, some dark blue pants, and black leather boots.
In his hand, he holds one of Damon's black shirts. 'It's simple really, so don't freak out…yet."
"Yet?"
Bonnie ignores him, as she draws a circle on the living room floor. Then place white candles on either coordinal: north, south, east and west.
"Alright you sit inside the circle…right there and place this bowl in the center." Stefan carefully places a glass bowl in front of him.
Bonnie fills the bowl half way with purified water, while Stefan lid each candle. Now she was sitting in front of the bowl and Stefan.
"Okay no I want you to close your eyes and think about Damon. You know good strong memories that show your bonding as brothers.
The ones you cherish the most." Stefan nodded and closes his eyes;
Bonnie grabs some herbs from her bag and chant as she placed them inside the bowl:
His gramina,
Mauris tincidunt erat nec videre nobis in memorian
(With this herbs, please allow us to see into the memory)
Then she grabs the shirt from Stefan's hands and slowly dips it into the water until submerge completely while saying:
Praesent luctus
intrare sinit animum istum
(With this shirt, allow us to enter this persons' mind)
Then she grabs Stefan's hand, cutting his wrist and allowing the blood to flow inside the bowl.
Per sanguine fratis commodo intrare sinit Damon Salvatore defluxit anima memoria cum undcim annis
(With the blood of his brother, please allow us to enter the faded mind of Damon Salvatore to the memory when he was eleven years old)
Bonnie let go of Stefan's hand and stood up. Stefan opens his eyes; confusingly "That's it?"
"No, get up."
Stefan stood up fast, bewildered of Bonnie's sudden fierce command. Bonnie crouch down, picks up the red liquid bowl then stood up. She walks out of the circle and carefully pours the substance on the floor into one straight line.
Once she was done, the line turn black then black smoke rose. It grew higher until it forms some kind of passageway. Bonnie glaze at Stefan
"Well? Aren't you coming with me?"
Stefan slowly nodded, he was anxious but step into the dark cloud with her.
~Inside memory: Florence, Italy 1405~
When they step out, they landed in a living room. The walls were white, bright paintings filled them. A book case set on the left side of the room, with tons of books arranged by size.
A couch was in the middle of the room next was the small fireplace, illuminated by a small fire. "Where are we?" asked Bonnie looking at her surroundings.
"We're at my house, back in 1405 in the den or living room if you want to call it." Suddenly footsteps approached the den, and two boys came in view.
The first one was smaller than the other, he had wavy black hair and soft, bright olive green eyes. He look about the age of nine, and wearing some breachers (pants) some stramps, a white sleeve silk shirt and brown leather boots.
In his hand he carried a small book with a grin on his small angelic face.
The older boy had also dark hair but straight and black , his eyes where as black as midnight.
He was wearing breachers, white rolled up sleeves and black leather boots. He look about the age of eleven.
He also look like an angel who came from the heavens.
Both boys walk to the couch and sat down. The little one spoke first, "Fratello puoi leggere me questo libro?" (Brother, can you please read me this book?)
The older boy look at his brother "Stefan your Italian is improving," then he frown, "You know how to read already. I don't need to read to you anymore."
Stefan glazed down and spoke softly, pouting voice "I just what you to read to me that's all." He gave Damon the puppy-eye-look. Damon smiled, slightly.
"Bene fratellino io leggero."(All right, I'll read to you) Stefan look at his, confused. Damon sighed, "I'll read."
Stefan smiles and gives the book to his brother, snuggling with him as he starts to read. "Awww how cute." giggled Bonnie. Stefan looks at her, smiling.
Suddenly loud bang echoes through the room making the brothers flinch and stumbled to get up fast. "Brother stay close to me" warned Damon, as Stefan back behind his brother. A man entered the den, swaying back and forth.
He was a tall man in his late 30's. He had dark unnatural messy wavy hair and green eyes, wearing some pants, a sleeve shirt with a few buttons open, a long dark coat and black leather boots.
"Father." the boys greeted. Their father was name Giuseppe Salvatore. Everyone knows Giuseppe; his was a very powerful wealthy man, who captured the love of the gorgeous Eve Roux de Petit.
Giuseppe is also known by his short temper, especially when he was drunk.
"What are you two doing up at this hour" he stated, groggily. "Stefan and I could not sleep, so we decided to read for a while." Damon replied calmly.
Giuseppe nodded, took a step closer to the boys then frowns. He points a finger at Stefan "You." he mumbled. "You! It was your fault. Your fault you nanerotto! (Little runt) You took here away from me, my bella moglie, l'aria della mia vita! (Beautiful wife the air to my life. You killed her!)
Stefan whimpered and clutches his brother's shirt tightly.
"Don't take to Stefan that way!" Damon confronted him, staring with those dark, determined, furious, stare he deliver so many times.
"You will respect me, Damon! I will not tolerate your attitude! It was his fault, if he hadn't been born your Mother would have still be here!"
Giuseppe took another step forward, and Damon push Stefan backer, "Get out of the way, Damon. That rat needs to know his place, and what he did to me and you!'
That was it. Damon lost it. He push Stefan back and spread his arms as a shield, still looking at his father with those cold eyes he said,
"It. wasn't. his. fault." he whispered, seething. "I suio tuo bastardo ubrianco!" (It was yours you drunk bastard.)
Giuseppe look like he was about to explode, his whole body was shacking in fear, he stared at Damon menancly. If that were my Father, Bonnie thought, I would have said sorry and run.
However, Damon held his place, chin raise up high. "Stefan prendere nella sua stanza, ora. Allora renite a camera, lo it daro la punizion cuie si meritano."
(Take Stefan to his room, now. Then come to the Room, I will give you the punishment you deserve.)
They stared at each other, not either wanting to back down, finally Damon lowered his eyes; making Giuseppe smile slightly.
"Si, o Pardre." (Yes, Father) He got Stefan's arm and led him to the staircase, "What happened? What did Father say?" Stefan whispered frantically.
"Niente, (nothing) keep walking." Both Stefan and Bonnie followed the boys.
"Damon what's going on?"
"It nothing brother. But do me a huge favor."
"Anything."
Damon stop walking, bend down so he was face to face with Stefan, "Whatever you hear, whatever reason you me scream or whatever.
Please don't hear, sing the lullaby I always sing to you, cover your head with the pillow.
Do anything but do not, and hear me good Stefan, do not by any circumstances go down stair to see what's going on.
Understand."
Stefan looks at him, and nodded "I understand."
"Good now go to your room, lock the door, and remember if you hear anything cover your ears and sing."
Stefan nodded, shaking a little, he took a few step to his room but stop, look to his brother and ran toward him. Stefan hugged his brother tightly. Damon also hugged him
"I love you brother." Stefan whispered, Damon bend down and plant a kiss on his forehead.
"I love you too, little brother. Now go!" Stefan sighed, and ran to his room locking the door.
Damon sighed, looks at the door once more and back away toward the stairs.
Stefan and Bonnie quickly followed, Damon reach the end of the stairs and when through the hallway toward another door.
"No." Stefan whispered.
"What is it?"
"The basement."
Right on time, Damon open the door to another fleet of stairs down, he slowly walk to the basement and closing the door behind him.
Bonnie made a move toward the door but Stefan stops her.
"I don't know if I want to go down there." he whispered.
Bonnie gave him a reassuring smile, "Everything will be fine, we have to go. To understand what happened. His your brother…you have to know."
Stefan nodded, and then both jump through the door and into the dark basement below.
