A/N Sorry for the long wait-My life is a mess right now. I'm moving houses, my O levels are coming soon, and my pc isn't working. Please bear with me :/ I hope you like this and please help me reach 400.
Thanks to my beta reader cdaye8184...I sent you a lot of work so thank you for helping me!
Damon laid next to Elena who was now looking at him with her puppy doe eyes. He was holding her against him, their bodies covered in sweat. Their reunion was smooth and Damon had been gentle with her all the time until she had begged him for more. Now they were both laying breathless, and he was smiling at the angel that had come to be his. She was smiling back at him, and he loved that look-He hadn't seen it in too long.
For a while they just gazed at one another, and Damon focused on Elena's heartbeat, just content in having her next to him. They were both still naked, and her body was warm in his hands.
After a while though, Damon grinned. "I think you better get dressed before someone walks in on us, angel."
"Hmm, not willing to share me with anyone," She smirked at him, and he pressed her against him, and buried his face in her neck.
"No," He mumbled against her. "You're mine. Just mine."
"I am," She nodded. "I belong to you."
"And I belong to you,"He added.
"So what shall we do after this is all over?" Elena asked with a smile.
"Hmm," He said with a grin, "I'll take you to my room and you will never leave my bed."
She rolled her eyes, but smiled. "No, I'm serious. What are we going to do after this is all over? I want to start a new life with you. We have to let go of the past."
"Well, I have plenty of ideas," Damon said. "I'll buy a new house, and you'll move in with me, and we can start a life together."
"Sounds like a plan,"She said, kissing him on the lips. "I can't wait for that. It all seems so simple, so easy."
"That's because it is." Damon leaned in kissing the tip of her nose. "Our love is easy."
"Yes, yes it is."
"I love you, princess."
It was late in the afternoon, and Damon was preparing Elena's lunch. Everyone was still out, and the couple were left alone, much to their pleasure. Elena was about to eat when she heard lots of noise coming from outside. Even though they were hidden, sometimes they could still hear what was going on.
"What's going on?" Elena asked in a panicked voice-She was always jumpy, afraid that they'll be discovered.
"I don't know," Damon said, handing Elena a glass of water, "Stay here. I'll see what I can hear."
She nodded her head, but before Damon could hear what's going on, the door opened and Kol entered.
"What's going on outside, Kol?" Damon asked curiously.
"It's your brother," Kol explained. "Apparently Klaus is out and Stefan's in charge. They brought in a new human. She's making a fuss," Kol said. "There's a brothel outside, God."
"Why? What's happening?"Elena asked in fear.
"Stefan lost his temper." Kol muttered. "Badly."
"Oh my God," Elena exclaimed, her food forgotten.
"Yeah," Kol said. "He took her out in front of everyone. I didn't see much but she seemed hurt."
Damon motioned for Kol to stop as Elena was shaking. She hated this. These people…they were young girls and boys like her, and they were being treated like criminals. Damon went next to Elena and wrapped his arms around her.
"I can't stand this, Damon," Elena cried. "Can't you hear them screaming? Can't you see how scared they are?"
"I know, Elena," Damon said, kissing her head. "I'm so sorry."
"I have news for you,"Victoria said later that day. "Bertha said that she can perform some type of spell to help with your training…You know, enhance your abilities."
Elena turned to her. "She can help?"
"Not exactly," Victoria said. "Bertha is not very powerful, and she is scared that Klaus will suspect that she's helping us. However, apparently there is a new witch."
"A witch?"
"The girl they brought in this morning," Victoria explained. "She's a witch. I auctioned for her, and I bought her. I thought that she could help."
"Where is she now?"Elena asked.
"I settled her in the room. Thankfully, no one suspects a thing about me and Kol-but Stefan has questioned me about you. And Klaus thinks that you have found a way to escape, so he has a search party."
"Do you think you can get her here?" Elena asked solemnly.
"Not yet. I don't want Stefan's suspicion to fall on me. He'll be leaving to assist Klaus tomorrow, however. We can bring her here."
"How old is she?" Elena asked.
"Your age, give or take. She was beaten by Stefan pretty bad this morning. She's so traumatized, poor thing."
"Yeah, I heard…" Elena nodded. "I know I was."
"Her name's Bonnie,"Victoria said, turning around to make a cup of coffee.
At that, Elena took a sharp intake of breath. "What?"
"The girl. Her name's Bonnie."
"D-Do you know her surname?"
"Bennett, I think. Why?"
"Oh my God," Elena gasped. "Victoria…Please… "
"What's going on, 'Lena?"Damon asked, getting worried now.
"Bonnie…She's my best friend," Elena cried, thinking about her friend whose fate was just as similar as hers. "They said that her grandma was a witch. She mentioned that she's a psychic…I never thought…Oh my God…"
"Shh, it's okay,"Victoria tried to calm her, "She's in safe hands. She's with Elle. It's okay, I'll bring her in tomorrow, but we have to maintain a low profile for now. I already lied and told Stefan that I had been working in the reception area for the past few days." She cleared her throat, seeing Elena's blank expression. "Writing down the names of people who died and those who were brought in. It's almost near the entrance, so it's a bit abandoned there."
"I just wish the seal could be opened at anytime," Elena sighed.
"I know, Elena. I'm a prisoner here, too. Klaus compels the vampires he wants here to stay in. The humans…you know the rest," She sighed.
"It'll work only on a full moon with the mark." Elena sighed. "But wait. What about the other vampires?"
"They are free to go whenever they please."
"So what if we try to escape while the door is open for them?"
"No," She said. "There's a barrier. The mark on the humans prevents them from going out. They are only free to leave on a full moon, and those chosen by Klaus, meaning that he'll erase the mark on that very full moon."
"But I don't have the mark, Victoria," She exclaimed. "And neither does Ellie. And Damon-He's probably not compelled to stay in. He was possessed, I don't think Klaus did that…And I'm sure we can get you out. We'll do a spell…"
"Elena, we can't try if we're not sure," Damon said. "What if it doesn't work and we'll get caught? This…We're safe here. We'll wait for Bonnie and we'll try to work on your abilities."
"I know," Elena said after a few moments. "You're right. It's just…I'm scared and tired, Damon."
"Bertha is coming in a few minutes. She'll be helping you to enhance your abilities, the basics for now," Victoria said gently. "I'll see you tomorrow. Don't give up, Elena. And Bonnie's safe with me."
When Bertha arrived, Elena was ready to do her utmost. Damon was supporting her throughout the entire lesson, and he even held her hand.
"Your powers come from your emotions," Bertha said. "You are a guardian, which means that your emotions are strengthened. You feel guilt, remorse, protectiveness and kindness more powerful than anyone else, so your powers can be controlled by the positive feelings."
"What about the negative?"
"Guilt and remorse block your powers, and even the fear of failing. However, if you are determined, you can do almost anything, Elena."
She sighed. "You were chosen by fate to perform a duty. Your little sister, Elle…She is in the process of becoming one. She's being tested, and her ability to see the future is just a test, so that they can see what her duty will be."
She swallowed soundly. "There are two types of guardians, Elena. There are the guardians who are made to help fight evil, and then there are the guardians who are there to stop innocent people from getting hurt. You are the first, Elena. It is up to you to rid the world from evil. On the other hand, Elle's task is to prevent a specific person from being hurt-meaning that she can see the future of certain people and she can help prevent their death. That is why you two are made to help each other. Therefore, fate has made you sisters-because there isn't anything anyone won't do for the protection and love for a sibling."
"She's just three years old…" Elena said.
"That's why you both need each other. Elle isn't the average three year old, Elena. These things…they are her destiny, and yours too." She concluded.
"What can I do to improve?"
"Have faith. Faith is what keeps you going. You are here for a reason, Elena. You can do it. You just have to have faith, and you need practice. We'll start with basic abilities, such as telekinesis and telepathy, those two gifts which you already knew of. With Bonnie's help, we can help you using magic, and it'll be easier for you to learn."
"I'm ready, Bertha,"Elena said. "I'll do anything to help everyone,"
"We need to work really quick, Elena. Klaus will put his plan in motion. He's already killing a lot of people by his experiments on them. I believe there is a way to create a special drink to keep vampires alive without using humans. As soon as Klaus finds out that there is indeed a way to get blood without human beings, the entire human population will be dead. He's taking all kinds of humans right now, and there are many vampires working for him and bringing him humans from all around the world."
Damon's brows furrowed, realizing what he and his brother had been doing. He had been helping Klaus to find this new method of surviving. He had been an idiot-All those girls he had sold…It had been for this. He had been using the girls to experiment on them, to break them, to make them work like slaves. He couldn't feel any lower right at that very moment. This is where the girls were being taken. He wanted to help in anyway now, because he knew that Klaus would end up destroying the entire human race if he finds a method to keep vampires alive without humans.
"We'll be fine," He said loudly. "Klaus will pay. He won't find the method. He'll already be dead, that I can promise."
Please help me reach 400! As you can probably guess, the story will be coming to an end. I'm calculating about five more chapters, which will be long, and then it's a wrap up. :)
