Ready, Set, Betray

Damon's Point of View

Jake and Bella arrived about an hour after we did and I could tell something was up. The moment she walked in I took in her appearance; she wore a white pea coat, skinny jeans, and black knee high boots. I let my mind wonder to what she was wearing underneath the coat but her voice brought me out of my thoughts;

"You know if you think too hard your head is going to explode." Bella said laughing.

"Why are you in such a good mood?" I asked suspiciously.

"Because I can be." Bella said, "Come on." She said started tugging at my hand.

"What?" I asked.

"We are going out together." She stated.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"Fine stay here I'll go find some other guy to go out with me." She said and started walking away.

I quickly grabbed my leather jacket and followed her out the door;

"What are you up to?" I asked forcing her to stop walking.

"Damon, I just want one normal night with you." She said and continued to walk. "Are you coming or what?"

I caught up to her and we walked to my car;

"Where to?" I asked.

"Anywhere you want." She said.

"I want to go where you want." I replied.

"It doesn't matter as long as it's just us." She said.

I drove back to the boarding house;

"Go inside and wait for me." I said.

Bella went inside and I called Stefan asking if we could have the house for the night; he agreed and I walked into the house.

Bella was standing looking into the living room, "So many things have happened in this place; good and bad." She said.

I wrapped my arms around her; "Are you cold?" I asked.

I could feel her smiling even though I didn't see it, "No I was just waiting for you to be a gentleman and offer to take it."

I kissed the side of her head and said, "May I take your coat."

She unbuttoned and I began pulling it off and I froze the moment she turned around; she was wearing a black halter with a jewel pin in the middle.

"Are you alright Damon?" she asked smirking.

"Are you trying to kill me?" I asked throwing her coat somewhere and pulling her to me as I kissed her neck.

"If I wanted to do that I would just stake you." She said and then pulled back to look at me, "Damon this might be our last night together for a while."

I knew she was right; what was coming loomed in the air around us and I knew it wouldn't be long before Klaus came.

"I know." I said. "Let's make the most of it."

I left Bella to go get some wine and put on some music; when I returned she was sitting on the couch all the lights off, but the fire was lit.

"Thought we could use a relaxed feel tonight." She said smiling.

"Does this mean I'm forgiven?" I asked pouring her a glass.

"Not entirely." She replied. "But it's a starting point."

I sat down next to her and we just stayed that way in comfortable silence. Suddenly Ocean Wide by The Afters came one and I stood up;

"May I have this dance?" I asked holding my hand out to Bella.

She put her glass down and took my hand. We started dancing and I was content;

"Damon," she said and pulled back to look at me, "If this was our last night together what would you want?"

Her question startled me and I searched her eyes for some hint at what she was getting at but all I found was the wanting of my answer.

"I would only want you." I said.

Immediately Bella's lips were on mine and my arms wrapped around her tightly. Her hands were on the back of my neck pulling me closer to her and I had to pull away;

"Bella what are you doing?" I asked searching her eyes.

"You told me what you wanted and I'm showing you what I want." she said.

Her eyes changed into a pure aqua something I had never seen before and my lips once again found hers. I picked her up, blurred to my room, and locked it leaving only us in this moment; whatever came next I could handle because I knew now that Bella was fully mine.

Bella's Point of View

I woke up next to Damon and I just stared at him; last night I had given him my heart, soul, and finally my body to him. I brush some hair out of his eyes and suddenly his hand was grabbing mine and bringing it to his lips placing a soft kiss.

"Morning." I said.

"Not morning; good morning, amazing morning, beautiful morning." Damon replied opening his eyes to reveal those icy blue piercing eyes that I could drown in forever, but forever wasn't in the cards for me.

"Why would it be a good, amazing, or beautiful morning?" I asked feigning ignorance.

Damon rolled on top of me and smirked, "Because this morning I woke up next to you." He said and kissed me.

"Well I guess when you put it that way." I said and kissed him back. "Thank you." I said stroking his cheek.

"For what?" he asked.

"For giving me last night." I said.

"I think I should be thanking you." He replied and began kissing my neck.

"I don't want to get up." I said rolling over so now I was hovering above him.

"Then don't." he said still kissing along my neck.

I sighed, "I have to," I said and kissed just below his ear, "And so do you; there's a council meeting today." Damon groaned and laid his head down where my shoulder and neck meet and I laughed, "Calm down I'll be here after school."

Damon left before I did thinking I was going to get ready for school, but I was actually going to be setting up for the plan.

There was a knock at my door and I opened it to find Jake;

"Morning, Jacob Black reporting for duty." Jake said and saluted me.

"You ready for this?" I asked placing Brighid's book in my bag.

"As ready as I'll ever be you evil bitch." Jake said and I raised an eyebrow, "What I'm practicing." He said.

"Make it more convincing." I replied and headed down to the car, "What did you tell the others?" I asked as we drove.

"That you were exhausted; what did you tell Damon," Jake asked.

"He thinks I'm on my way to school." I said as we pulled into the cemetery.

"How are you going to explain missing?" he asked.

"I'll think of something. Jake are you sure you can do this; you're gonna have to try and kill me." I said.

"What?" he asked surprised.

"I mean I want you to try and kill me." I said, "You have to make it convincing."

Jake was silent, but finally spoke when I parked in the farthest part of the cemetery in the woods, "I'll do it." We got out and started walking, "Where are we?" Jake asked looking around.

"The oldest part of the cemetery." I said.

"This one doesn't look that old." He said pointing the tombstone next to his right leg.

"That's because it isn't it's only a couple years old." I said and cleared the leaves and away to reveal the name.

"Christopher Swan." Jake said and then looked at me, "Is that?"

I nodded and stood up continuing to walk into the woods. We finally reached our destination;

"What is this place?" Jake asked looking at the four stone altars that were centered in the middle surrounded by trees.

"These four altars represent the four elements." I replied.

"So how is this going to work?" Jake asked as he helped me pull stuff out of my bag.

"First we are going to set up a cage type for Klaus and whoever he brings. The moment they are inside the circle they will be trapped, but it will only last for a short while which is why the timing must be precise. Then we are going to set up a protective circle for us." I told him.

Jake helped me spread out and draw the symbols into the ground for the cage and the protective circle.

"What next?" Jake asked.

"Now we put the final touches." I said and laid out the book on the front altar and said a blessing, "Now let's go." I said.

Jake and I gathered up everything and he looked at me, "When is Klaus coming?" he asked.

"Tonight he will start taking you guys so we have to get everyone to drink these vials as soon as we can." I said. We stopped at the car and I looked at him, "You know what you have to do right?"

"Fight even if it hurts like hell." Jake said. "You gonna be okay?" he asked looking at me.

"Yeah, hell by the end I think you and I should get Oscars." I said laughing. "See you at the boarding house tonight?" I asked.

"Yeah." Jake said and went into the woods to shift.

I headed back to the boarding house and slept until Jake called telling me he was on his way with Tyler. I set up everything in the library and when they walked in Tyler looked at me weird;

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Ty, look I can take the curse off and you could be normal or I could transform it." I said.

"How?" he asked.

"Bella could make you like Leah and me; shift when you wanted to." Jake explained.

"It's completely up to you." I said.

"Let's do it." Tyler said, "I don't want to be defenseless."

"Alright Jake, Tyler hold out your hands." I said and then began, "I call upon the ancient powers to help me now in and I future hours. Exchange one gift and turn into another and make these two brothers." I took my athame and cut Jake, "His blood," then I cut Tyler, "his blood," I put my athame down and pressed their cut palms together, "forever bound by blood."

Tyler and Jake started to shake and I stepped back watching as they transformed in front of me and then shift back. I quickly turned around, "Why don't you go upstairs and get some clothes Jake has here."

I waited until I couldn't hear their footsteps anymore before I turned back around. Jake came back down first and helped me get everything set up for when the others arrived;

"Nervous?" he asked seeing my hands shake.

"Yeah." I said and Jake pulled me in for a hug.

"We're gonna be okay; I have faith in you Bella." He said and kissed my forehead.

"Knock, knock." I heard Caroline say as she entered the room, "Bella are you feeling better?"

I smiled, "Yeah Care bear I am." I said and hugged her.

"What are you two doing?" Elena asked walking in with Stefan.

"Celebrating." Jake said and everyone came into the room including Tyler, "Bella just took off Tyler's curse."

"You did?" Bonnie asked.

"No more like I mutated it; he's like Jake now." I said.

Damon came over to me and wrapped me in his arms, "Is that what you were doing today?" he asked.

"Yeah." I said lying to him, "I had to."

"Well let's celebrate; I will no longer have to be tied up." Tyler said.

"Jake and I will get the shots you guys chill." I said and untangled myself from Damon.

"Yeah we are gonna pick what you drink." Jake said.

We headed into the kitchen and I poured whiskey into each shot glass and then pulled out the vials pouring each one into the glass. Jake and I looked at each other and nodded. We walked back into the living room and handed out the shots to everyone.

"To friends." Elena said.

"To loyalty." Caroline said.

"To honesty." Bonnie said.

"To love." Tyler said.

"To new beginnings." Leah said.

"To happiness." Jeremy said

"To the future." Anna said.

"To life." Stefan said.

"To eternity." Damon said staring at me.

"To overcoming obstacles." Matt said.

"To Bella and her strength." Jake said.

I simply raised my glass and felt a chill go down my spine alerting me to their presence. I kissed Damon quickly and then stepped away.

"Forgive me." I said looking at my friends forcing tears to come to my eyes, "I'm so sorry."

"Sorry for what?" Elena asked.

Just then the door busted open and in came Elijah with several other vampires.

"I think she's sorry because she's betraying you." Elijah said smirking.

Immediately some of t the vampires with Elijah staked Damon, Stefan, Anna, and Caroline with vervain stakes. The others secured Elena, Bonnie, Matt, and Jeremy. Leah, Jake, and Tyler started to transform but I used my powers allowing the vampires time to knock them out.

"BELLA!" Elena yelled at me.

"I'm sorry Elena but you were right we can't fight them. This is the only way I can make sure everyone is safe." I said.

"Except us; they are going to kill me, Elena, Bonnie, and TY." Caroline said.

"I know, but I can't risk them hurting everyone else for just you guys." I said.

"I'll kill you Bella." Anna said trying to lunge at me.

Elijah went to stake her through the heart but I stopped him, "No none of them get hurt."

"Bella you're our friend." Bonnie said.

"I know I am and it kills me to do this, but I have to." I said.

"Put them in the car." Elijah said and grabbed my arm, "Bella will ride up front with us."

Damon looked at me with anger and pain and I heard him say, "Just like Katherine."

The tears I cried after that weren't fake, they were very real.

"Calm down Bella," Elijah said wrapping his arm around me "You're doing the right thing."

I turned and looked at him, "Don't speak to me." I shrugged out of his hold and got into the car.

The car ride was short, but filled with silence. When we arrived at the house I got out and saw one of the vampires throwing Jeremy to the ground.

"STOP!" I yelled and used throwing the vampire into a tree. I ran over to Jeremy and knelt down, "The deal was that they stay safe." I said.

Jeremy pushed me away and tried to hit me, "Why do you care? You're giving four of your friends over to be slaughtered by them."

Elijah caught him and held him back, "She hasn't told you; see we can't kill them," he then looked at me, "Dear Bella here is going to take that athame and drive it into their hearts."

"YOU BITCH!" Matt said and lunged for me.

I watched as every one of my friends was led into the house and I followed silently.

A/N: Alright so I was looking over my outline and realized I needed to split what happens into two chapters instead of cramming it all into one so I hope this gives you a little taste to hold you over until next time. Please Review! Bella's outfit is on my profile. Also the song Bella and Damon dance to also happens to be the song that was used at the end of the episode where Elena was kidnapped and Damon told her he loved her. It's an amazing song. I do not own Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, or the song.
