Chapter 14 – True Friends and True Loves

Destiny's POV

I woke to a pulse that sent a vibration through my whole body. I remembered weird visions of a girl killed by Katherine, but anytime I tried to focus on who it was everything would black out. This ghost wanted my help, but didn't want me to know who they were.

I stood up and walked over to the mirror. I looked right as rain and there were no indications that I had been sick. I noticed a silver chain around my neck that I didn't put there. It was the same kind of chain I had given Damon when he became ill after Azkedelia and he had tried to have sex those years ago.

I got dressed in some leather pants and a red tank with a black vest. After I fixed my hair and threw on some make-up I went to find Azkedelia. I knocked on Damon's door and was met with not only Azkedelia's smile, but Damon swooped past her and picked me up into a hug.

"Um Okay" I smiled then looked to Azkedelia "what's gotten into him?" she simply shrugged.

Damon squeezed me tighter as he began to say it was just life that had gotten into him. I was very confused by this, he hadn't acted like this in many years, so long I had forgotten that he used to until just now. He finally let me down and had a large grin across his face. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"Why don't we all go to The Grill and celebrate you're recovery huh?" Azkedelia and I looked at him curiously "Oh come on, I'm buying" he beamed. We both started laughing.

"In that case" and with that Azkedelia was rummaging through her clothes until she decided on a white dress with red lace and her favorite stiletto boots.

After we all got ready we left for the bar. When we arrived we grabbed a table and Damon went to get us drinks. Azkedelia kept looking at me as if she needed to tell me something.

"So how bad was it?"

"Honestly I got scared, I'd never seen you like that before" she replied.

"What happened while I was out? Tell me everything" I remembered blurs, but that was about it.

"Well you got sick. I had breakfast and a talk with Stefan in the study, that's when you came in. You told Stefan that Elena was a dopple-ganger. I followed you out into the living room and that's when you started to get confused. That's also when I noticed the bruising and bite mark on your shoulder. After we realized what it was, Stefan took you up to your room" she chuckled a bit "He knew exactly what was wrong with you and he was so calm about it. All I kept thinking was you were in pain and making my stupid herbal bliss tea" she shook her head.

"Hey that tea really helped" I tried to reassure her and it had. She was right; I was in a lot of pain until she made me drink the tea, so much pain I felt as though my body would crumble.

"Well Stefan took care of you most of the time" her confession shocked me.

"He did?" she simply nodded.

"You admitted to me what the ghost was saying, well partially" she replied. I looked at her confused. "It was when I had you drink the tea. You said the ghost wanted you to do terrible things to get your love back and Stefan was standing by the door. Stefan and I had a conversation about it in the kitchen which led to confrontation. Needless to say he hates the fact that he still loves you, so bad he won't admit it to himself" that last part sent my head spinning.

I knew she wasn't lying because she could feel what other's felt and she would never lie to me about something like that. If Stefan still loved me, but was also in love with the Katherine look alike, what did that mean for us? And how could I be with him if it was against my very nature to be with a liar, even if they are only lying to themselves. Just then Damon came back with a bottle of whisky and three shot glasses.

"Oh and Damon made a few confessions today" Azkedelia looked to Damon slyly, but he had a stern look on his face.

"Really?" I smirked. "Oh do tell"

"Well let's just say what we always knew was confirmed from his very lips" he kept his gaze on her as he poured the shots.

"You finally spoke those three little words you hate so much?" now his gaze was on me. His eyes gave away the answer. "Good for you Damon and I take it this was from you too?" I was referring to the silver chain and again his eyes gave it away.

"Why?" I was still talking about the chain.

"Because you're my best friend and I didn't want to lose you. You've always been there for me you know, even when everyone else left, you stuck by me, and you're a true friend Destiny" I felt the tears start to build as well as confusion. "Now I have a toast to make and then we stop all this sappiness" Damon smirked as he handed Azkedelia and I a shot. We raised them up as well as Damon and he spoke "To true friends" he looked to me "And true loves" he fixed his gaze upon Azzie.

"And to new beginnings" Azzie added. We clinked our glasses and down the shots went.

Just then I felt a burst of witch energy and saw Azkedelia felt it too. We looked to the door in unison and saw Stefan walking in with the Katherine look alike and some girl I didn't recognize, but I could feel her energy. She wasn't strong like Azkedelia, but she could be trouble down the road. Suddenly I realized I recognized this type of energy.

"She a Bennet witch?" I asked Damon. He simply nodded.

"You mean like Emily Bennet?" Azkedelia questioned. She knew her from the story of the Salvatore's and her ancestor, Amelia. I simply nodded.

"I'm going to need her" she was referring to the witch that was now crossing the room with Stefan and that Elena girl attached to his arm.

"Need her for what?" Damon asked poring a few more shots.

"I need the memory spells from Emily's book to know exactly how to reverse what was done to you" Damon and I both looked at her, I in agreement and Damon in confusion. "Katherine's compulsion wore off every time you were with Amelia so she had Emily alter your memories. Hopefully she wrote it down in her grimoire and I need it" she explained downing another shot never taking her eyes from the witch. "What's her name?" she and I both asked Damon. We looked to one another and laughed.

"Bonnie Bennet" he whispered. I could barely hear him. We looked at him curiously. "Stefan's listening" he projected his thoughts into my head. I simply nodded.

"Okay we'll figure out everything that needs to be figured out, but tonight is about fun, something we all need right now so drink up" Damon was chipper as he poured more drinks.

I hadn't seen Damon like this in a very long time. It made me wonder if he would even need the memory spell now. I wondered if Azkedelia cast the spell, would it change the way he was acting now? And would it be for the better or worse? I looked at the way he was smiling and it was if we were back in 1864. He was happy and that made me happy. I walked up to him and gave him a hug which caught him by surprise, but he hugged back.

"What was that for?" he asked as we released.

"For being my best friend" I smiled as I went back to my seat.

We drank the rest of the night ignoring everyone else. It was as if we were back, but we were missing one person and Azkedelia noticed. We shared a look then raised our glasses.

"To Akelianna" I said.

"May she rest in peace" Azkedelia spoke.

"And be watching over us" Damon piped up. We cheered and drank.

"That's it!" I yelled.

"What's it?" Damon asked.

"I know who the ghost is"

"Who?" he and Azzie asked in unison.

"Akelianna" Azkedelia dropped her glass.

Okay so Damon still seems to be very livid. He has not only reestablished his connection with Amelia but with Destiny as well. And why does Destiny believe the ghost is Akelianna? This question and more will be answered as the story continues!
