Chapter Nine-

Damon POV:

Stefan and I were talking about where I could find Bella. I ran a hand through my hair and cursing again. "What if she died? Actually died?" I yelled. I clutched the necklace that held her ring in my hands tight.

Elena came up to me and pried it from my fingers. "Let's not break this, Damon. It's all you've got of her." I wanted to snap and yell at her but I just didn't have the energy. I slumped on to the couch and Stefan sighed.

"I'll be right back." He fled the living room, leaving me with my thoughts. I've never been a much believer in God since I was a vampire, but I was praying now. Praying for Bella to be alive and I hoped she remembered everything. I do mean everything. We'd met before this, but I didn't remember until I woke up. We were married, and blissfully happy. Since I was a vampire, she was an angel we were both going to be immortal together. Someone stopped us though. I couldn't remember who, but I know they murdered her and I had been out for revenge until they or someone else wiped my memory.

I remembered now. I would find Isabella or be out for revenge.

"Damon!" Elena shouted at me.

"Hmm?"

"Put on your cocky attitude and go help Sheriff Forbes." Elena shoved me out the door and I straddled my motorcycle and drove off towards the police station.

Turns out Liz and Carol need more vervain. I snorted. "Sure. I'll be happy to go get it from Uncle Zach. I should be back by Monday."

Stefan POV:

I walked back into the living room and spotted Elena. "He left. Liz needed him for something. Damon won't be back until Monday." I kissed her forehead and hugged her tight.

"We'll find her Stefan. Hey! She might even find us!" She laughed.

"Let's go walk." I took Elena's hand and we were joined by Caroline to walk throughout the town. I was listening to Caroline rant about her ring. She was lucky she even had a ring.

I was glancing over all the people walking by, I would wave and say hello. What I didn't expect was to see Isabella, or rather someone who looked like her.

Elena turned to me. "Isn't that Isabella?" I nodded slowly and she stepped forward.

"Stefan?" She halted and wonder crossed her face.

I chuckled quietly and I said. "You have no idea how glad we are that you are here..."

I pulled Bella, as she went now, over to Elena and Caroline to introduce her. "This is Bella. She's Damon fiancé."

"Damon's at home!" Caroline chirped. I watched Bella's eyebrows narrow at Caroline. "I'll take her over to the house!"

I couldn't help but send a prayer for Damon to come home soon.

Damon POV:

I sped down the highway and into the police station. I dropped off the vervain and headed home. There was a bottle of whiskey with my name on it.

I pulled into the drive way and knew someone, definitely supernatural, was just inside the house. "Stefan... who's here?" I said as I flung the door open. Elena turned slowly from the fireplace clutching a necklace filled with vervain.

"Uh..." Elena shook her head and looked at Stefan helplessly. "Bella's here!" She blurted out. Elena blushed and slapped a hand over her mouth. Stefan laughed, he hasn't laughed like that in a while.

"Wait- what do you mean?" I asked. "Isabella Swan? My Isabella Swan?" She bobbed her head and held her hand out.

"It's hers, but she can't wear it."

I frowned. She was human wasn't she? "She's an angel, again Damon." Stefan whispered.

"Shit." I ran my hands through my hair. "Klaus will be out to get her again. No time for that now, I am going to go see Isabella." I knew he'd try to either kill her or get her to join his 'forces' as he put it. Right. Isabella's too damn independent for him.

"She is Mrs. Swan's granddaughter." Elena said. I nodded as I ducked out the door. I barely played attention as it began to pour. My mind was purely focused on finding Isabella.

I slowed to a walk as I approached the Swan residence. I immediately spotted Isabella. A grin spread across my face. She didn't mind the rain either. She was dressed in a strapless beige dress and beige shoes. I was glad she was this still feminine without being really "girlie" as she put it before.

"Isabella," I said. I watched as she whirled around and froze in her spot. I strode forward and took her face in my hands. I kissed her hard. I couldn't believe she had actually come to Mystic Falls when I was gone.

"Damon," She breathed. "I was afraid..."

"Hush... I missed you Isabella." I kissed her again while simultaneously picking her up in my arms. "How do you happen to find me?" I teased.

She blushed. She wriggled out of my arms but I didn't let go. "I want out of my shoes, Damon." I had her shoes off and on the porch beside us in one swift movement. Bella snorted softly.

"Come inside. I have a long story to tell you. Frankly, I want to be warm and dry when I tell you." Bella held her hand out for me. I grabbed it and she invited me inside. I almost could believe she was back.
