Chapter 17 – What Should I Do?

Damon's POV

I awoke to the sound of light tapping against my bedroom door. It was so low only a Vampire could hear it so I knew it had to be Stefan. I looked out the window and noticed it was just past dawn.

"What the hell do you want?" I whispered so Azzie wouldn't wake up, but I knew Stefan could hear me.

"I need to talk, it's important" he whispered, but I could hear the stress in his voice.

"Hold on a minute" I whispered back.

I looked over to Azzie and she looked so peaceful curled up to me. I smirked as I swiftly got out of bed and threw on some clothes with vampire speed. I opened my bedroom door and walked out closing it behind me. Stefan was waiting just outside the door.

"What is so god damn important that you had to wake me up at dawn?" I whisper shouted.

"Destiny" he simply replied.

"Oh god!" I huffed. "I'm gonna need blood" I said as I led him downstairs to the kitchen.

I grabbed a blood bag from the freezer and threw it into the microwave. I waited for it to heat up and then bit the top off and poured it into a mug. Stefan stayed silent the entire time watching me, but the blood more so.

"Want a sip?" I offered the mug but he denied it. I shook my head and started drinking it. I took a few gulps then looked to my brother. "So what's wrong little brother?" I half mocked as I sat down.

He told me about his dream/memory and I felt bad because I didn't really remember, of course Katherine made me forget most of my memories of Amelia, but I did remember the part about our mother. What I never understood was why I didn't get them back when I turned. That question was answered when Destiny told me that Katherine had Emily cast memory spells because I somehow kept fighting through the compulsion whenever I was with Amelia.

"Okay so you had a dream… what's the big deal?" I questioned.

"The dream made me remember every feeling I had for Destiny. I had it all behind a wall, buried deep inside, but the wall broke and all of it came flooding back out" he explained.

"So where does that leave poor sweet Elena?" I asked sarcastically.

"I don't know" that caught me by surprise "I don't know anything except I know the love I have for Destiny is one hundred times stronger than any feelings I have for Elena" that caught me off guard. Azkedelia had just wished for this very moment last night and here it was. Stefan was admitting his love for Destiny and thinking of leaving Elena behind.

"Well then dump Elena" I said as if it were nothing "And if you start drinking human blood again Destiny is all yours" I didn't think about that last part until after I said it. Destiny was going to be pissed with me.

"Wait is that why Destiny left those years ago?" he half demanded. I cursed myself for bringing it up. "Damon!" he yelled.

"Keep your voice down will you" I said as I drank the rest of my blood.

I set the mug down and sighed at Stefan. He just needed answers and for some reason since Azzie got here, I've been in the helping mood. I was starting to barely recognize myself in the mirror the past three days.

"She can't be with a liar Stefan, even if that person is only lying to themselves about who they are or what" I gestured my hand to him. "You are doing both and it's not that she can't deal with it, it's just how she's built, it's how Valkyries are" I explained.

"How do you know all of this?"

"She's my best friend… duh!" I made a retard sound on the word duh.

"I won't but say I hypothetically did start drinking human blood again and somehow I got Destiny back, how can I trust her not to take off on me like that again?" he was truly considering it even if he said it was hypothetical I could see he was truly thinking about it.

"Stefan she won't" I knew she wouldn't because of the mark.

"How do you know?"

"I've said too much already, but you gotta trust me, she won't"

"How can I trust you?"

"It killed her to do it the first time; you can trust me on that" I said. He knew I knew about her leaving before she actually did it.

"So what should I do?" he sounded desperate.

"You already know the answer" I stated.

"But I can't just leave Elena, not with Katherine coming back" it felt like something got caught in my throat at the sound of her name.

"What the hell do you mean Katherine is coming back?" I demanded.

"Didn't Azkedelia tell you? I mean that is why she's here" my blood began to boil.

"No, she didn't tell me" I said as I got up to leave. Before I did I turned back and looked at Stefan. "Talk to Destiny, it might help" I added before storming off to wake Azkedelia's lying ass up!

Azkedelia's POV

"Azkedelia!" I heard Damon say loudly. I just ignored him and tried to go back to sleep. "Wake up!" he got a bit louder.

"No" I simply said.

"Azkedelia Elizabeth Warren! Wake you fucking ass up right NOW!" he shouted and I felt a pillow thrown at me. I turned to look at him and realized he was pissed then suddenly I felt it and he was not only pissed, but nervous. I sat up in bed and looked at him.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I was annoyed at the way I was woken up.

"Oh nothing" he mocked as he paced "except you lying to me" all I could think is what did I do this time?

"I haven't lied to you" I stated.

"Okay then let's call it withholding information, does that work for you?" the way he was looking at me was as if he hated me right now.

"I give up, what are talking about?"

"You had a conversation with Stefan about a certain bitch coming back to town" now I knew exactly what he was talking about.

"I was going to tell you" I replied.

"Really? When? When she got here?" Damon was furious and I felt it.

"So much happened yesterday with Destiny getting sick, our fight, my fight with Stefan, your confessions then the bar it just slipped my mind" I defended myself.

"It slipped your mind? Katherine just slipped your mind?"

"Look we were happy for the night and yes honestly she did, but I probably would have told you today after I woke up. I wasn't trying to hide it from you" I kept my voice calm.

"Really? How do I know you're not lying?" he crossed his arms and scoffed.

"Because I swear it on my sister's soul, my mother's soul and my father's life" he knew I would never say that unless I was truly telling the truth.

He uncrossed his arms and came to sit on the bed. I told him everything I had told Stefan along with what Destiny said about Elena being a Doppleganger. After I told him everything he apologized and went to scoop me up but I stood up. I was pissed that he thought I would lie to him when I never had in my entire life.

"Azzie, I'm sorry" he spoke softly. I just shook my head and looked away. Within a second he was now in front of me. "Look at me" he said, but I didn't. I was too angry and honestly hurt, but I could also feel his regret for not trusting me. "Azzie love please" and he used his thumb and index finger to make me look at him by gently holding my chin. "I'm truly sorry Az" his voice was soft and his face was apologetic.

"Damon if we're going to be able to work, we have to trust one another no matter what. I know I can do that, but can you?" I asked looking deep into his eyes. He looked back with just as much depth.

"Yes Azkedelia, I trust you, from now on no matter what" he said before kissing me gently.

"Good" I replied. After that he told me everything him and Stefan had talked about in the kitchen. I was shocked. Damon asked if I did something, but I honestly hadn't done anything, but make a wish and I had to say this was a first of one coming true.

Okay so Stefan and Damon sure seem to be getting along and what is with Damon apologizing to Azkedelia so easily? Is he truly changing? And is Stefan going to stay with Elena or leave her to be back with the one he truly loves…Destiny? Keep reading to find out!
