Thank you everyone and enjoy!
Damon stared at the heart that he was holding, and for a moment he couldn't believe what he just did. Did he really kill a vampire? And what the hell was he doing, keeping Elena in the house?
He knew that Klaus would kill him if he caught him. The three rules Klaus had explained to them replayed in his head, "No human could know about the existence of vampires until being sold" "No human should be marked" "No vampire could have an emotional or physical bond to the human kept captive until being sold."
The first one…well, he had taken care of the first one. Elena didn't know anything about vampires, thanks to his compulsion. The second one…
He groaned. Stefan had bitten her more than once, but 'marking' was different. Marking was more intimate. It wasn't just about the blood when a vampire marked a human. The third rule was what was worrying him. Sure, he wouldn't physically abuse Elena, he wouldn't do anything to her that she didn't want to. It would be a cold day in hell indeed when he used compulsion to get a woman in his bed, he was sure of that. What he was worrying about was any type of bonding that could occur between them. He didn't feel anything for her, he was sure of that, but his wave of possessiveness for her came from somewhere.
Maybe it's just her blood, he thought, her scent was intoxicating. He needed to taste that blood soon. Or maybe because he was simply curious about her existence.
He shrugged the thoughts away, hurrying up and cleaning the mess before somebody would find out about the dead vampire. It was prohibited for a vampire to kill another vampire unless it was for self defense.
Damn rules, Damon thought. He remembered a time where Klaus was still lurking in the shadows. Then, he came in, in search for the doppelganger as he liked to call her. Because Klaus was a naturally-born hybrid, the only one of his existence. But he needed the doppelganger to be able to create more hybrids, in fear that he'll end up alone for all eternity.
And when Niklaus made the appearance, the world of the supernatural changed. Witches worked and worshipped him, vampires obeyed dutifully and so did werewolves. He had the power to end them all.
But Damon and Stefan were different. They didn't fear Klaus, and Klaus recognized their determination. He knew he could use Stefan's bloodlust as an ultimatum, and in a few months time, Klaus made Damon and Stefan his personal and most trusted kidnappers. What Klaus really needed was not money, but blood. He wanted vampire blood. Everything started with vampire blood, even being able to create armies.
Klaus had originally wanted to 'go out of the coffin' and expose the vampire race to humans. He dreamt of having humans bend down to the vampires' will and make humans slaves. But that would happen when he got the doppelganger, he always thought. He would be unstoppable, and he would inflict pain on others. That's what he wanted, Glory. Glory, and to be feared and hated by everyone because he wanted to invade Earth and get rid of the humans that did so much to him over the years. Yes, he had sworn a vendetta against all humans. That's why he went with the idea to still live in secrecy but kidnap young human girls for his vampires' amusements. And that's why he didn't want vampires killing other vampires, because he wanted to save vampires from being extinct. It had almost happened once.
And then, Damon was trusted. Because Damon was known to be cold and ruthless, a vampire that destroyed many lives. A vampire that lived his nature to the fullest, and who had pride as his weakness. He was too proud of being a vampire and he wouldn't go any less than being that.
Damon stopped thinking and continued to burn the vampire. He washed his hands and then he returned to Elena's bedroom. He found her on her desk, writing something. She didn't seem to notice him, she was just too alienated.
He sighed. The girl was truly special. He still couldn't understand how Stefan was able to bite her without him hearing her. Something in his heart told him that Stefan was up to no good. He remembered Stefan saying that he would do anything to get Katherine back. Horror sank in to Damon's features when he realized that Stefan could've been working behind his back and give Elena to Klaus. It was possible that he was biting her to give Klaus her blood little by little, to test if she really was the doppelganger or not.
Immediately, Damon blurred back to Elena's room and entered without knocking.
"I'm taking you away from here," He said sternly, moving until he was inches away from her face. "Hurry up and get dressed. Be ready in ten minutes."
Elena panicked. "Where are you taking me?"
"Don't ask questions," He snapped, "Just do what you're told or I'll make you."
Immediately, Elena scurried off, holding back tears. If there was any chance that they'd find her, it was getting low by the second. Changing houses in a span of days wasn't going to help.
When she was ready, she approached Damon slowly. He raised at the sight of her, drinking in her beauty, then he grabbed her shoulders gently and turned her around.
"What are you doing?" Elena gasped in fright when she saw blackness. He tied the blindfold against the back of her head firmly, but not too tight, and said, "I can't let you see where we're going…yet." He pressed his lips to her ear. "You don't have to worry, though. You're with me."
Elena shivered, but she had no choice at all. He took her hands gently in his, and guided her away, supporting her. Then, all of a sudden, he picked her up and Elena felt cold, fresh air realizing that they were outside.
"Will you behave or do I have to tie your hands?" Damon said in a deadly serious voice.
"I'll behave," Elena said, she wasn't feeling up to being tied up the entire trip for God knows how long.
"Fine then," Damon said, helping her get into the backseat. "I'm taking your word for it."
Half of what seemed like an eternity later, the car stopped.
Elena had fallen asleep and Damon went next to her, shaking her gently. She panicked when she saw the darkness, but then Damon untied the blindfold and drew a soothing circle on her cheek lightly.
"It's eleven pm, princess," He said with a smirk. "I think it's about time you get something to eat."
Elena nodded, letting him take off the blindfold completely and he opened the door for her.
The snack bar was about to close, but Damon's compulsion worked fine. Soon, they were served some pasta and he watched as Elena ate in silence while he toyed with his food. Why the hell was he acting human when he could sink his fangs into that delicious, delicate neck any minute?
Elena shifted uncomfortably when she realized that he had been watching her.
"How old are you, Elena?" He finally asked.
"Seventeen," She replied, her attention still fixed firmly on her plate.
He smiled. Seventeen. It's been so long since he had been seventeen…
"Finish your meal," He ordered her. "We have to keep going."
It was about 4 in the morning when Damon arrived to the mansion by the lake he owned. They were away from socialization, but the house was surrounded by a nice lake and a few minutes of walking away there were the falls that Damon loved. Even as a human, he would go to those Falls alone, where he had discovered a cave, and he would just lay there thinking about life and being simply at peace.
"We're here," He told Elena, who was now awake.
When he opened the door, Elena couldn't help but smile at the sight. The house was beautiful. It was big and creepy, but it was beyond beautiful. Damon secretly grinned as well when he saw her smiling.
"Is this your house?" She asked hesitantly.
He rolled his eyes. "No, I stole it."
Elena laughed for once.
"We'll be staying here for a while," Damon instructed her to sit down. "The old rules still apply. If you try to escape, there will be consequences."
"Yes…Damon," She swallowed thickly. "I know."
"Good," Damon's smug smile returned. "Now, I think you should get some sleep."
Elena nodded and he gestured for her to follow him. "I'll have your room settled by tomorrow. You're going to sleep here for today."
Elena nodded, it was useless to complain. She knew that now.
Damon didn't like that. He secretly liked it when she complained.
"Goodnight, Elena," He said in a soft voice, and he reached out for her, pressing a kiss on her cheek.
She was driving him crazy. Her heart beating with anticipation every time he was near wasn't letting him think straight. It was only making him want her more. Usually, Damon didn't have a problem into getting what he wanted, but with Elena, it was different. Elena wasn't a toy like the others, he couldn't just shove her away after he was done with her.
And he knew that Elena wanted him too. He remembered the way her heartbeat pounded hard whenever he touched her, hell even when he 'punished' her. She had wanted him.
But no, he would not bend down to her will, or his own will actually. Not yet. He wanted to make her believe that she's just a pet.
Elena wasn't doing much better, either. The skin on her face which he had just kissed was flushed hot. She couldn't control her own feelings anymore. He was getting slowly under her skin, with the ability to be protective and possessive and the ability to be dangerous and sweet at the same time. Elena knew that he was the perfect example of dangerous and seductive beauty.
Her body ached for his touch, for his comfort and hold, even though he was the one that made her suffer in the beginning.
She suddenly felt the bed crack a little and she realized Damon was there, getting settled down next to her. She calmed her heart down and pretended to be asleep as Damon laid down, his gaze on her. She felt him lightly caressing her bare arms, and then he did something she never thought he'd do, he locked his arms around her waist, pulling her tighter to him, burying his head in her hair.
"Goodnight, Elena," Was all that she heard him say.
