I'm glad you're all enjoying the story. So your wait is over. Here is chapter eighteen. Enjoy!
Chapter XVIII
Damon POV
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Anna replied. I felt my fingers go numb. I scanned the crowd looking for anyone that I recognized and my eyes landed on Elena still talking to Pearl.
"Have you told your mother?" I asked looking back at Anna and Jeremy. Anna shook her head.
"Okay! I'll tell Pearl and Elena what's happening and you take Jeremy home and stay there!" Anna and Jeremy nodded and turned to leave as she looked back at me and spoke.
"What about Harper, we…."
"I'll find him don't worry! Now go!" Once Jeremy and Anna were out of sight. I made my way over to Elena and Pearl.
Pearl POV
Damon came in step with Elena and I as we walked around the town square. He took hold of Elena's hand and kissed it.
He told us about the vampires' plan and he wanted me and Elena to head back to Elena's house, while he would handle them.
I wanted to help, but Elena was my priority and from the look on Damon's face she was also his. Damon truly did love her and he would do anything to keep her safe.
Stefan POV
I watched as Damon took hold of Elena's hand and she didn't pull away. I could feel my anger rising and my fangs bearing, but I pushed them back. How dare he kiss! Elena is mine! Damon must be taken care of…permanently.
I could not hear what Damon was saying, they voices were masked by the voices of the mass number of people, but I could tell it wasn't good as I saw Elena and Pearl's faces laced with fear.
Damon watched Elena and Pearl walked out of the town square. He then headed towards Alaric and dragged him aside and spoke to him and I watched as Alaric's face also became present with fear.
After Damon had finished talking to Alaric. Alaric headed towards his car as Damon headed towards Elena's father's old office. What are you up to Damon? I thought to myself as I walked after him.
Harper POV
I stood there in shock as Bonnie came clean about her actions. I could see the river of tears sliding down her face as she looked at me pleading for forgiveness.
She lied! She put all of us at risk! She betrayed me! I thought to myself, but I wasn't angry. I knew I should be, but I wasn't. I understood her actions and I understood she now wanted to make them right, before it was too late.
Bonnie POV
Harper looked at me in disbelief. I waited him for him to yell at me or threaten to kill me, but it never came. Instead I felt myself being pulled into his arms.
He was holding me, did that mean he forgave me. Why did he have to be so perfect! The fact he was holding me, just made me feel worse. More tears came to my eyes as I continued to cry and he still held me in his arms.
General POV
John was inside his brother's office as he prepared to activate the device. All of sudden without a sound Damon appeared and was standing only a few feet behind him.
"You have no idea what you're doing!" John turned to look at Damon with a smirk plastered on his face.
"Oh I think I do! I'm getting you and all the others like you out of this town and away from my dau…." Damon smirked as he picked up on John's mistake.
"What? Your daughter!" John stood there in shock.
"How did you know that? Did Isobel tell you that?" John demanded. Damon's smirk got wider.
"No! It really wasn't that hard to figure out. You and Isobel are not as smart as you think you are!" John face turned read.
"Does Elena know?" John said fear present in his voice. Damon smirk automatically turned from a smirk to a wide evil grin.
"No….yet! Haven't decided!" Damon was clearly lying, but John didn't pick up on it as Stefan walked into the room.
"What's going on here?" Damon and John ignored Stefan as they continued to glare at one another.
"I wonder what Elena would say if she founded out that uncle John was actually daddy! And was also responsible for the deaths of people she cared about and the kidnapping of her own brother! What then? Elena would hate you for the rest of her life!" John's face was now a bright red and before Damon and still a clearly confused Stefan could react he turned around and activated the device.
Harper was still holding Bonnie as a sharp pain appeared in his head and he let out a small cry in pain. Bonnie pulled back from Harper as he clutched his head and sank to the ground beneath him. The device! Bonnie thought to herself. Bonnie scanned the area and noticed people also going down and the town's deputies injecting them with needles.
"Vervain!" Bonnie whispered the fear clearly present in her voice. Bonnie looked down at Harper briefly as she noticed the blood flowing from his ears. Bonnie put Harper's arm around her shoulder and pulled him up and into the cover of some trees nearby.
Elena and Pearl were still making their way out of town until Pearl sank down to the ground clutching her head.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Pearl didn't reply. Elena looked around and saw that Pearl wasn't the only one and the town's deputies were injecting them with syringes. Elena began to panic as she tried to get Pearl out of sight as a man started to come towards her and Pearl.
