Chapter 9: Damon Knows

There was a moment of tense silence as the three guilty teens tried to think of something to say. Bonnie was trying to think of another way to kill Bella without anyone knowing it was her, although it would be obvious she would be a prime suspect. Jeremy was trying to think of a way to tell Damon about just who the girl he was trying to kill was. Elena was trying to think of a way to prevent Damon from finding out just who he was sent to kill.

Meanwhile, Damon was getting sick of the silence and just wanted some damn answers. Unfortunately for him, he knew just from the look in the witch's eyes that he would get no answers from her unless he was to get her mad. Though Damon can be a crazy bastard, he is not crazy enough to piss her off when she has that look in her eyes.

Deciding to ignore the scheming witch, Damon looked at the two Gilbert's for answers. Damon took one look at Elena's face and concluded that she would not help him. Damon knew she would lie to him and though he was disappointed it was not like he expected any better. After all, Damon sneered to himself for all she preaches to not be like Katherine, she couldn't have been any more wrong. Lying must have been a Petrova trait, Damon mused in disappointment as he turned to the youngest Gilbert.

Seeing the conflict on his face Damon knew that the boy would be the one to give him answers. Looking the male Gilbert in the eyes Damon set about getting his answers.

"Who the hell was that?!" Damon demanded, startling the trio from their various thoughts.

Jeremy was startled by Damon's commanding voice as he was brought out of his thoughts and focused on the irate vampire. Jeremy knew he should tell Damon who Bella was, but a part of him wanted to keep this information to himself. Jeremy knew his sister won't tell Damon anything and Bonnie definitely won't tell him anything either. So he doesn't have to worry about Damon finding out from them and Jeremy can keep this to himself.

But, Jeremy knew he shouldn't and he wouldn't do that. It wouldn't be right and it wouldn't be fair to Damon or Bella. If Jeremy was ever in Damon's position, Jeremy knew he would want to know as much about the woman he attacked as possible holding nothing back.

Despite the fact that Damon is an arrogant, selfish, sexist dick with homicidal tendencies, he does care. There is no doubt in Jeremy's mind that after the shock and disbelief wore off then he would be mad as hell. But at least he will know now, from one of them rather than to find out later and either on his own or from someone else. Decision made, Jeremy opened his mouth to tell Damon the truth when he was interrupted.

While Jeremy was debating on whether to tell Damon the truth, Damon had been surreptitiously keeping an eye on the two girls. When he saw Jeremy about to open his mouth to either tell him the truth or tell him off, he also saw Elena open her mouth to no doubt protest. So Damon cut her off before she could breathe let alone speak out.

"Shut. Up!" Damon hissed as he cut her a look so cutting any protest she may have had died as she looked into his cold ice blue eyes in fear.

Satisfied that they would not be interrupted again by Elena, Damon turned back to Jeremy with a nod for him to continue. After casting an annoyed glare at his sister, Jeremy turned to look Damon in the eyes as he told Damon just who the girl he attacked is.

"That girl, you know the one you just tried to kill?" Jeremy began as he watched Damon with a careful eye for any signs of danger.

Damon thought about the girl who he had tried and failed to kill. Sure, she didn't do anything to him to deserve such an attack. But she did threaten Elena or so he was led to believe. Now though he is not so sure what to believe as he got the feeling that he was lied to.

As he thought more about the strange fierce girl who had whipped the floor with him, Damon wondered absently if he ever saw her again if he could convince her to have a rematch. He could just picture it, he would have pinned her down on the floor after a nicely executed Judo flip.

As he held her down, she would struggle to throw him off of her, exciting him he would kiss her neck as she moaned, torn from telling him to get off or to fuck her right there on the ground. Then when she finally begged him to fuck her he would rip off her pants and panties at once. Despite her struggles as he couldn't picture her not fighting him to the end, she would moan as she begged him to fuck her and to claim his prize.

Glancing at Jeremy with glazed eyes as he was so turned on from his fantasy that he just wanted to forget his answers and go jerk off somewhere, he realized that Jeremy had been speaking while he had been fantasizing about the mystery girl. Tuning in to the conversation, he wished he stayed in his fantasy a little longer as Jeremy's last words shocked him.

"-so yeah, congrats dick! You just tried to kill your niece!"

Damon was shocked. What. The. Fuck? Damon wondered, as he searched the little Gilbert's eyes for any kind of deceptions but found none. Shaking his head back in forth in denial, Damon used his powers over the mind to watch every memory he had on the mysterious girl.

After watching everything from Jeremy's mind he turned to Elena to see her memories. Searching for anything at all that would prove to him that this was all a sick joke. He was about to turn to Bonnie when he decided not to go fishing about in her mind. Damon wouldn't dare to go looking into Bonnie's mind, the girl would send him an aneurysm to end all aneurysms if he did. Besides, Damon thought to himself ignoring Bonnie who was looking at him with a bitchy look, eyebrows raised and all. This bitch is clearly very disturbed and anyone with a lick of sense would know that, if they don't then they are idiots!

Once he finished his search, Damon thought he was going to be sick! Damon had just tried to kill his niece! That is fucked up! But not as fucked up as the fact that he had fantasized about fucking her after a fight and was still somewhat turned on by it! Turning paler than normal at the thought of what he had done and what he had thought about doing to the poor girl, he paused as he realized something.

Turning to look at the girl he loved, he noticed the guilty and almost ashamed look on her face. It was at that moment Damon knew, Elena had lied to him about her being in danger. With a pang, Damon realized it was a setup! Damon was setup by the woman he and his brother loved. He was setup by her to kill his niece, his own flesh and blood. Sure he had killed Zach, but he wasn't of his blood, they took him in when the boy's mother was killed and Stephen felt responsible so he took him in. Bella though, Damon had no doubt that she was his niece, she looked too much like him and Stephan to be anything else.

Elena was willing to kill the supposed love of her life's daughter! What's worse is she was going to use him as the weapon to do so, knowing that he was her uncle. It didn't matter if the mystery girl was Stephen's daughter or not! If there is a possibility no matter how small, that she was of his blood, then Elena should have never done this! Damon knew that a good or at least moral person would say that she shouldn't have done this at all no matter who the girl is related to.

But Damon is not a good or moral person so that doesn't apply to him. Damon wouldn't care if the girl was the daughter of president, but the moment he was told of the possibility that this was his niece and the moment he saw her through the Gilbert's memories he cared. Damon knew he would move heaven and earth to make it up to her and to punish those responsible for this, Stephen and his love for Elena be damned.

"You heartless bitch," Damon spat at Elena in a dangerous whisper, his handsome face turning red with anger. Ignoring her hurt look he glared at the trio before he spat at their feet in disgust. Trembling with rage he strode to his car to get out of there and cool down before he did something he would later… very much later regret.

As Damon drove away, the three stood there rooted to the spot. They each hoped that Damon would not do something stupid, but then again this is Damon. As the car disappeared from sight the three couldn't help but think to themselves not for the first time that evening and something they will ponder many more times in the future.

What have we done?

Wow Elena! Just Wow! What a fucking bitch! And Bonnie just….no comment!

I know I should stop bashing Bonnie and Elena but…they make it so easy! Right?

Any way I don't want to talk about those bitches, (sigh) I want to talk about the disaster that is Damon. More specifically his fucked up (but sexy) head. What the ever loving fuck! That fantasy was hot, writing about it was hot, Damon having said fantasy about his niece however….ew! I think I threw up in my mouth a little bit when I wrote this… but none the less I kept it so whatever. Besides at the time he didn't know that Bella is his niece, not to mention Bella in this story is sexy as shit! So I guess he has an excuse…but still (shudder) gross!

Okay enough Character analysis! I have a question for you readers!

For the next chapter should I write it from Damon's point of view or Bella's?

Also real quick, for those of you who would like Bella to be paired with a Mikaelson I am sorry to say it won't happen. Since Bella is related to them (descendant of Esther's sister remember?) she won't get together with any of them. Though it won't stop some Originals from flirting with her or trying (wink! wink!). Before any of you scream incest, when the Originals were born and in that era it was okay and practically expected for you to marry or fuck your sister or brother or any other family member. So they really see no problem with that, Bella on the other hand very much does.

Let me know what you think.

Review please!
