Another chapter is up, thanks for your reviews, favorite story/ author, story/author alert appreciated a lot thank you:)
P.S I know that Phantom just came out, I've already read the whole thing (surprisingly it was short) so I know it contradicts everything in this story so question do I still continue since everyone knows Phantom is out.
P.S.S I'm hating Elena a lot now after I read this book (No offence Elena fans out there.)
WARNING SIGN: This chapter might be a little graphic so young readers you've been warned.
Chapter 9 on Immortal Soul
Enjoy.
Previously on Immortal Soul…
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 then both jump through the door and into the basement below.
Elena sighed impatiently, moving her cell phone from hand to hand. Where was Stefan? she thought
He was suppose to came hours ago. She wiggled slightly on her bed with a worried expression, what if something bad happened to him?
No, I cant live without him…I won't let him die…not like Damon.
Damon…
That's all it took for her to turn away from the anxiety to the sadness and depression.
Why Damon of all people? Why did he had to die? Elena choked back a sob, tears were threatening to fall over.
It was hard remembering someone you loved who was killed upon your eyes, remembering Damon was torture just knowing he wasn't coming back.
Never coming back to her.
"Elena" she suddenly heard. Elena gasps and swirled around to her name, "Elena, help." said another whisper. She swallow back a scream
"No this is not happening again." she whispered. Her panic was raising, her heart pounding like a hard rock drum solo.
"Help me, Elena. I need your help to come back." the whispered continue. Elena couldn't place who did the voice belong to, though it was so familiar. Come back?
"Who are you?" she demands fiercely as she could manage. The voice chuckled, "You know who I am Elena. Don't you remember…or you already forgot? You promise not to forget."
Elena froze. "D-Damon?" Abruptly someone appeared in front of her, making her yelp and stumble back fast.
The person was a average height guy little shorter than Stefan she notices, he had black straight hair that covers his ears and went down to cover most of his forehead, and his eyes where as black as midnight, so black you can't even tell where was the pupil.
He also wearing all black: black shirt, black sweater, black pants and boots.
"No this can't be possible…Damon is dead! How can you be him? I saw him die!" Elena cried her hands were trembling now.
Damon smiled his 250-kilowatt smile he delivered so many times to her that she practically owns it.
"Elena we been through this. I've been died since 1400 century so I'm 500 years old. Gee-ish did you bang your head or something?"
"No Damon your…dead not undead but really actually died. I saw it! I was there holding you to the very last minute. How can you actually be here."
she said the last sentence barley above a whisper.
Damon sighed, "Elena help me. Help me get back to Earth…to you. Help me Elena."
Elena slowly when over to touch him, but he back away. Something inside her was telling that this was wrong, he was wrong.
Something about Damon was off not like she remembers it. But she ignored it completely, this is Damon.
Damon Salvatore that died worlds and dimensions away. Her love, her Damon! She owns him as he owns her.
"Of course Damon, I'll help. Whatever you need." she said imminently without hesitation. Damon smirk again,
"Thank you Elena, I can't wait to hold you again in my arms and kiss you, but please don't tell the other I want to make it a…surprise.
Don't tell them anything yet, understand?"
Elena nodded instantly. "I won't tell anyone promise. But Damon when will you be back?"
Damon was already beginning to fade, "Soon I will. I'll keep it touch with you so you can help me." Then he disappeared completely.
After a long pause Elena found out that she could breath again. He's back! I can't believe it his back! Elena smiled so much her cheeks started to hurt.
"Damon is back! He's back!" She quickly ran to her book self, got her diary and began writing.
But something small in the back of her head was still telling her this wasn't right.
~Damon and Sage~
"So how did I come back? If you said that I've died back there in the Nether World and the Guardians here can't find vampires…how am I here then? Weren't vampire that only mystical creatures that don't have a soul or spirit or whatever you want to call it?"
Damon demanded as he walk around the small kitchen room.
Sage sighed, "Ahhh, my friend you ask so many questions. I've already told you your life story, which is pretty long and exciting for a 500 year old vamp. Can't we talk about this like tomorrow or later perhaps?"
Damon sunk down on the wooden chair and place his elbows on the table with his hand covering his face in irritation.
Finally after a few seconds of silent he said,
"You're right Sage. You already explain my horrible childhood, my weird and extraordinary afterlife and everything in between there and now, we should get some rest.
Plus, surprising for how long I've been unconscious, I'm tired."
Sage got up slowly and patted Damon on the back "I've know what you been through, you only told me about it but believe when I say this that one day, one day mom ami… your life will be perfect as you always wanted." Damon nodded and smiled a bit.
"But I'm afraid not right now." he added, Damon half snorted and laughed.
"Come I'll show you where you'll be staying at."
Both became to walk out of the kitchen when suddenly Damon gasps and crouches down in pain.
"Damon! You alright? What happened?" Sage yelled over Damon's screams.
"M-my back it h-hurts s-s-s-ooo badly. A-and my h-h-head-owwwww!" he yelled. "Relax mom ami relax" whispered Sage.
Damon rapidly took of his shirt and Sage bend down examine it. "Oh my…it can't be."
"What can't be Sage"
Sage didn't replied instantly instead he place his hand on Damon's upper back a little lower than his shoulders and began feeling any signs for what he thought was happening.
"Sage what is it? What's wrong to me?" Damon said panicking, his eyes widen in fear.
Sudden another wave of pain came over him and this time Sage felt it too, they both cringed.
"It can not be. I've never thought…I can't believe it. Damon are you alright mon ami?"
Damon nodded, he was breathing hard as he clap his hand on the sore area. "Yes I think I'm alright, its just…what was that?"
Sage look at him in concerned and disbelief but answered "I don't know mon ami diabolique (my devilish friend) but don't worry I think I know someone who does. We'll see him tomorrow morning now let's get some rest.
I'll get you something for your back." Damon look at him suspiciously somehow he new he had a gift to know when people were lying,
but he was just to tired and sore now he shrugged it off and went to find his room…alone.
~Bonnie and Stefan~
Slowly they descended the flights of stairs that seem to just stretch into a loop, when they reach the bottom where was Damon looking down as his Father had his back toward him.
"Damon you know better than disrespect me, am I correct?" Giuseppe started. Damon's face showed no emotion at all.
Those cold hard dark eyes just continue to look on the floor. "Yes, Father." he answered back.
"That you just did was disrespectful and intolerable. You insult me in front of your brother and for matters worst you defend him when you perfectly know that he killed your mother Eve." Giuseppe turned around; hands clap behind his back, glaring furiously at his son.
Damon mumbled back, "What did you say?"
Damon slowly look up to meet his Father's fuming stare, his eyes still remain cold and emotionless as he answered with more force.
"I've say that it wasn't Stefan's fault that Mother died. She was ill and there was nothing to be done about that. Stefan è innocente, lui non sapeva. lui era appena nato quando è successo. come si può incolpare un bambino innocente per una morte che non poteva essere evitato?
(Stefan is innocent, he didn't know. he was just born when it happened. How can you blame a innocent child for a death that couldn't be prevented?)
Giuseppe just stared at his oldest son "Damon he is the reason why your mother isn't here. He killed her, this…abomination killed her. Do you understand?" he said seething, glaring so hard at his son. Damon stood up straight, stared intently at his Father without breaking eye contact, he responded.
" No I don't understand. I don't understand your decisions,
I don't understand your think, your logic. Io non vi capisco,un uomo che è solo un po 'di un codardo che ha lasciato su."
(I don't understand you, a man who is just a bit of a coward that he let's on.)
"Come ti permetti di parlarmi in quel modo, è figlio insolente!" (How dare you speak to me that way, you insolent child.)
Impulsively Giuseppe hits Damon across the cheek making him turn rapidly to his left, Bonnie winced and step back when she heard the slap echoing across the room and Stefan's jaw clenched.
Damon slowly turn back to his father, who was positioned to strike back, he didn't have a single tear.
"Say that you are sorry to talk to your Father that way. Say it, Damon." Giuseppe flared. Once again Damon raised his chin up high and answered,
"No, because you told me to say what I feel and this is what I feel about you. Your are a poor, inconsiderate, dreadful, inhuman, selfish person I've ever met. Blame a baby for a death that was in your hand. On, yes I know about that fight. I know how you yelled at her, making her scared and anxious causing her to have the baby earlier than expected. It was your fault, yours you bastardo, ipocrita. (bastard, hypocrite.)
Giuseppe's bottom lip trembled with rage, his whole body seem to tremble.
"Oh gods." whispered Bonnie as she raised her hands to her mouth choking back a scream.
Stefan didn't even make a movement, he just kept his hard, cold glaze that remind Bonnie of Damon's at Giuseppe.
"Y-you useless son of a povero operaio child! You will pay for that, Damon! You are nothing, niente in questo mondo! Sei patetico.
(nothing in this world! You're pathetic.)
As Giuseppe finish his sentence he close his fist and took a swing at Damon, who was knock over and thrown to the hard cement floor.
Bonnie let out a yelp and jump back. Stefan flinched, his own fist were clenched at his sides.
Damon growled and spit out blood but he wasn't shedding a tear. Giuseppe didn't even stop, he went over to Damon's lying figure and grab him by his shirt collar.
Turned him around and aggressively keeps punching him. Now Bonnie begin to scream, tears were pouring down her cheeks.
Stefan also started to yell and curse in Italian. Damon started screaming as well, blood cover most of his angelic face now and running down his throat.
His right eye was swollen and purple. Blood Bonnie thought to much blood. Giuseppe stop, the whole floor where Damon was now curled, was bright crimson red.
"Now Damon apologize." Damon tried to sit up but each time he tried he just falls back down. A whisper was barely heard escapes his bleeding lip.
"What? Speak up, boy!"
Sudden Damon's velvet voice full of hurt and pride shouted, "NO! I've never apologize to you!"
Giuseppe growled as started to unbuckle his belt, took of his belt and started to swing it at Damon who gasped when it made contact.
"You. Will. Apologize. This. Instant. You. Useless. Piece. Of. Spazzatura (Trash)"
With every word Giuseppe said was a lash at Damon who just gasps and bits his lip to kept from crying out.
His Father rips open Damon's semi-bloody white shirt. "Find if you refuse to apologize I must punish you then."
Giuseppe walk to a table at the corner and pick up a long leather strap whip.
Bonnie gasp in horror, her eyes budged out at the sight of the whip and Damon's white back.
Giuseppe began to lash out on Damon, Damon now had tears in his eyes falling down his bloody cheeks, yelling and growling each time the whip touch his delicate skin.
The whip made a new cut on his back, it injury look deep and it blood poured out of the cut.
Bonnie's knees gave in, she came crashing down to the floor, tears poured down like waterfalls, she was shaking violently screaming no at Giuseppe.
But what was the use, she thought. This is a memory. A cold-blood memory of his childhood.
Finally for what seem like hours had pass, Giuseppe stop. He was breathing hard and drops of sweat seem to run down the side of his face.
He look down at what was left of Damon and smiled in pleasure that made Bonnie's stomach turn. How dare he! His son, he just almost hit his son to death and he's smiling?
"Well that was entertaining wasn't it Damon? I best be on my way, when you get up clean this place and yourself, we don't want your brother looking at you all bloody now do we? See you soon, Damon." he said half laughing as he strode up the stair and bang the door close.
Damon was lying on his stomach barely conscious, it took him a few minutes before he could move his arms.
His palm was on the bloody floor, trying to push up with whatever strength he had left.
After a few minute he was able to sit up, his eyes roll back for a moment before coming in clear focus. He was breathing hard as if he had trouble breathing.
He look down at the floor and stayed like that for a while. Bonnie rose from the ground and wipe her eyes.
She look at Stefan who was paler and had dry tear stains on his cheeks, he was focus on Damon.
"N-no more." he barely manage to whisper. His voice was rusty and full of pain.
"No more…w-will he do this to me. No more. This is it. I'll fight back."
Damon slowly begin to rise, he grimced but stayed focus "I will fight back. He'll be the one who will be bleeding. He'll be the one begging for mercy."
His eyes turned so cold and hard that Bonnie saw it was the same stare that the adult Damon always delivered to his enemies.
This is it Bonnie thought, this is the moment he turned into a ice prince. His heart turned cold. This was it, what change him.
Damon stood up straight, raise his chin up high and said louder now.
"I will fight back, he will meet a new Damon. A New Damon Salvatore who can fight back.
Giuseppe better get ready."
And with that Damon tradition smirk before fighting was born.
