Chapter 5 - Damon's Best Friend

I was woken to Damon yelling at someone to go away. I stirred then turned to face him. His hair was a mess and you could see he was still sleep deprived. I looked at my watch and we had only been sleeping for 3 hours.

"Who are you talking to?" I questioned.

"Elena's been knocking downstairs and Stefan isn't home. She probably wants to drive to school with him" his voice thick with sleep.

"School? Seriously? Well where's Stefan?" I yawned.

"Probably chasing bunnies" he smirked. "I heard him leave after your little talk. God seriously she won't just go away" he huffed about to get up but I stopped him.

"You sleep, I'll get rid of her" I stated jumping out of bed.

"No snacking" he yelled after me.

I jogged down the stairs and down the hall to the front door. When I opened I was greeted by a not so happy looking Elena.

"Stefan's not here" I said flatly.

"Do you know where he is?" She asked.

"Nope, Damon said he might be out feeding. Maybe you'll see him at school" I mocked then slammed the door and ran back upstairs.

"You really don't like her do you?" Damon smirked at me as I walked in the room.

"I don't like her face or who she descends from, there's a difference" I quipped.

"She called you a bitch" he laughed.

"That's fine, I am a bitch" I laughed as I grabbed my bloody jeans off the chair and put them on.

"What are you doing?" He asked sitting up in bed.

"It's morning, I need to get my shit from the motel fast, my book of shadows is there along with all my clothes and weapons. Don't need housekeeping seeing any of it" I stated zipping up my pants. I grabbed Damon's clothes from the other chair and threw them at him. "Come on unless you don't want me staying here" I smirked heading into the bathroom.

After I brushed my hair I headed back into Damon's room as he was buttoning his black over shirt. After he was dressed we left for the motel in his car. When we arrived at the motel and reached my room Damon pulled me back stopping me from opening the door.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I shot.

"Shh! I hear someone moving around in there" he whispered.

"Well that's all the more reason to get in there" I stated releasing myself from his grip. I didn't like when people tried to take charge with me.

I listened at the door for a few moments. Sounded like whoever was in there was frustrated and was determined to find something, but I couldn't get a read on them. I backed up then kicked the door in and was met with a sharp pain to my shoulder. I looked from my shoulder to the shooter. Her hair a short black pixie cut with a few green strips. Her eyes a piercing ocean blue with gold waves.

"Ouch" I said before falling into Damon's arms.

"Oh shit Az I didn't know it was you" the shooter said dropping the crossbow.

"So you shot me with...A crossbow" I panted.

"It was the first thing I saw to grab" she rushed to my side and helped Damon bring me into the room. "I'm so sorry" she said as she broke the arrow head.

"Ouch! Watch it! It fucking hurts!" I yelled.

"I said I was sorry" she said pulling out the shaft.

"Oh damn you're a Bitch" I pulled my shirt to the side to look at my shoulder. It healed within moments.

"You alright?" She asked concerned.

"Fine, luckily I was full" I shot sarcastically as Damon helped me stand up.

"Why are your jeans covered in blood?"

"I was attacked by gouls last night, Damon healed me" I stated walking over to my bags.

"That was nice of him, it's good to see you Damon"

"You too Destiny" he replied.

They were so plain with each other I started laughing as I grabbed some clean ripped jeans and a clean red belly top. They both looked at me confused.

"Sorry it's just you would never know you two were best friends once upon a time" I laughed again. "Ok well I'm gonna change then we can head back to the boarding house" I said heading toward the bathroom.

"Wait! Why are we staying at the boarding house?" Destiny sounded alarmed.

"It's better than staying here" I said flatly.

"If it makes you feel better you don't have to share with Stefan. You can have your own room" Damon's voice thick with amusement.

"Wait! What? I can't do that!" Destiny shot to me.

"Well I guess you could share with Stefan but Elena might have a problem with that" Damon retorted sarcastically.

"Shut up Damon!" Destiny and I said in unison.

"Wait! Who's Elena?" Destiny asked and I fell silent. "Azkedelia?"

"She's his human girlfriend" I simply said.

"Girlfriend?" She went silent as she sat on the bed. "Well I am the one who left him so..." Her voice trailed off.

"That's not all" I said as I sat next to her.

"How bad is it?" She looked straight into my eyes.

"She's a descendant of Kathrine and she looks exactly like her" I blurted. I didn't want to tell her but she needed to know, she would find out anyway and it might have been too late.

"Huh" she stood up and started pacing. I knew she just needed time so I went into the bathroom to change.

"You alright Destiny?" I heard Damon through the door.

"You care?" She sounded utterly shocked.

"In my own way" he replied.

"I knew one day he'd move on, but to hear it's with a descendant of the Bitch who ruined all of our lives, it's a totally different kind of pain and now I'm going to be staying with you guys, a lot to take in at once, even for a Valkyrie, I mean we're strong, but..." I could hear her still pacing.

"What? you regret leaving him?" there was a moment of silence. "Then you'll figure something out, you were always the smart one" I was surprised at Damon's words and sincerity.

"Actually Amelia was" the room fell silent. "God I miss her so much sometimes"

"I wish I did" Damon spoke softly. "I don't remember much, but soon enough I will"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm letting Azkedelia cast the memory spell on me"

"Really?" She seemed so surprised.

"Yeah" was all he said.

"You'll remember your true feelings of Amelia and her death" she sounded concerned.

"I know" his voice was quiet.

"You should know she loved you up until the very end. She knew what Kathrine did to you and that none of it was your fault" Destiny explained.

"Thanks but after all I did to her I doubt so"

"I know so. She came to me before she crossed over, told me to keep an eye on you and try to help you why would she have asked that of me if she didn't still love you? I guess I didn't do too good a job, sorry"

"I wouldn't have let you"

I finished changing and stepped out into the room. Damon and Destiny were sitting next to each other on the bed.

"You softies done with the sadness?" I mocked laughing as I grabbed two bags and handed them to Damon.

Destiny grabbed my trunk of weapons and I grabbed everything else. We loaded up Damon's car and took down the roof. Destiny grabbed two bags from a black honda civic.

"What about your car?" Damon asked as she climbed into the back seat.

"Stolen" she simply replied.

"Evidence?" I asked making sure nothing could tie her to the crime.

"It's all clean" she grinned.

I jumped over the door into the front seat next to Damon. "We have to hit a grocery store before we go back to your house" I stated.

"Why?" He started the car. I just looked at him. "Right" he caught on. "Stange as it is, it kinda feels like old times" Destiny said to us as we pulled out of the parking lot toward the store.

So Damon had/has a best friend no one ever knew about! And she was also the love of Stefan's life and vice versa before and after Katherine. Now that they are bound to run into one another how do you think that will go? Will an old flame rekindle? And what's with this softness in Damon? Could it be Azkedelia to change his heart truely forever? So many questions to be answered! And I promise they will be as long as you keep reading! :)
