A/N: I DONT OWN ANYTHING TVD WISH I DID BUT I DONT WAHHHH LOL BECAUSE KLAUS AND STEFAN WOULD BE MINES.
Damon's Pov
She was really gone. I laid on our bed that we shared.
Use to share.
Everything still seemed to go in slow motion. I kept reliving the moment over and over.
Her smiling.
Eyes closed.
Chest not rising or falling to show signs of peacifully sleeping.
Trying to bring her back to no avail.
Slow motion.
I tried to kill myself and it seemed for some odd reason Stefan would stop me saying I had two reasons to still live for but those two main reasons are the same exact reason she is no longer here. So locked myself in my room and just fell into whatever numbness this was.
She's gone bottom line and that meant so was I. Physically I was here but emotionally, mentally I checked out the same time she did.
Our bed. The one we, Use to share.
It was getting harder and harder to use past tense how could I just move on like she was never here? This was the last place she was before she...
Died.
I didn't deserve her that is why she was tooken away from me. I hurt her so many times but she always took me back. Me this screwed up mess who didn't quite understand love and she gave all the love she could. She forgave me too easily. I should have just stayed away.
"Damon," I her her faintly say in that low voice that drove me crazy.
"Bonnie," I say silently.
Then just faintly I hear her laugh as my mind goes back and right before my eyes a memory places out.
"Ok I promise I wont touch you. I promise," Bonnie says with a phony smile. I narrow my eyes at her she was not to be trusted she found a vulnerable spot and was to be compelled if need be.
"We been hanging out alot now and how you found out my one secret is beyond me," I say with attitude.
"Awwww somebody is upset," she says with a pout and baby voice. She then quickly starts to tickle me. I laugh so hard I cry. I couldn't take it. I use my vamp speed and get off the bed into a corner. That makes her laugh even more.
There was a knock on the door. The memory was gone just as quickly as it came.
"Damon you have to come out it's been four days," I hear Stefan saying.
"Go away," I groan and turn over on my side. "Leave me to rot, seeing as you wont let me off myself and make it quick and easy." I find new tears coming to my eyes.
"Oh come on brother you love yourself too much to just die off," he says matter of factly.
"I'm missing a piece of myself Stefan," I say letting the tears fall.
He was silent. Then I heard footsteps then more knocking. I flash to the door and fling it open. "What part of," I'm cut off by curious moss green eyes looking at me. My heart stopped. It was our son. He looked just like Bonnie. I look at Stefan who was holding our Daughter she was fast asleep she looked just like me. As if she sensed me looking at her she opened up her eyes and ocean blue eyes were looking at me.
Elena softly rocked my son in her arms. "They need their dad Damon," she says softly. "Plus they don't even have names," she says with a soft smile. I felt my guard come down a little. "Bonnie would want you to," she says. Her saying her name brought that wall back up tightly and I felt angry all over again as hurt was eating away at my undead heart once more.
"It's because of THEM she is gone, get THEM away from me," I say with venom leaking from every word, especially the word THEM.
"Damon stop being," I cut her off with showing off my fangs. And with that I slammed my door in their faces.
It was because of them she was gone and I was in no mood to play papa dearest. I hear them hesitate in front of the door then they walk away.
I knew she would have to be laid to rest soon and I knew once that happened I wouldn't see her anymore except in memories and photos. I lay back on the bed and inhale her scent on her pillow and close my eyes to sleep.
Another day passed and I figured I needed some type of drink in me. The place was silent very very silent. I checked every room, empty. The nursery was even empty. I got a weird feeling when I stepped into the living room. I see pack and play's from what BB calls them. Use to call them. They sat side by side I walk over and see that both of THEM were asleep and unattended.
They were...
they were so..
A twig or something snaps outside I come back to reality.
What the fuck were Elena and Stefan thinking. I was going to kill them both leaving THEM alone. Fine I could play this little game as well. I go to the cellar and get a few bags of blood and speed back up to my room. They left THEM there they'll find THEM left there. I open a bag of blood and sip a little and feel strength come to me quickly. Then suddenly I hear a faint cry. I ignore it and lay down. Then another cry it was more softer I'm guessing the girl. I try to ignore it but it only seem like their cries were getting louder. I groan and sit up angrily and speed downstairs. Standing over the pack and play's
"What?" I shout.
They stopped crying and look at me again curiously but also knowingly like they knew who I was. She lifted her arms and the boy looked over and seem to catch what she was doing and did the same. This was kind of funny and I guess cute.
"Hey you're a guy you have to do your own thing," I say very sarcastically. I roll my eyes. Babies. I go to walk away since they were done crying and hear a giggle and it was memorizing I stop in my tracks and go back and see the baby girl was giggling. For just a infant she had a laugh all her own did they do that at only about four days of life? But again they weren't normal infants.
I look around. "So what do you guys do just lay there?" I ask and that made her giggle and the boy he kind of just rolled his eyes? Weird but kind of I guess again adorable? I hesitate but for some odd reason I wanted to hold them.
I scoop both of them up. And sat on the couch. I look at both of them. They were.
They were...
Mine and her's.
Our's.
They were beautiful. I cry and hold them close. They both held on to a finger and I gasp.
"Sorry daddy," I hear a angelic voice say to me and look at my daughter. She smiles at me.
"We loved mommy too," I hear a deeper angelic voice and look at my son. He doesn't smile but he looks relaxed.
"I know," I say. And that's when the door opens I hear throats clear. Lucy squeals and came and took them from me giving them kisses and talking baby talk. I just roll my eyes.
"So Stefan and Elena," I say as I stroll up to meet them. "Did you think it was ok to just leave them alone?"
"We were just seeing if you would come out," Elena begun but I cut her off going to attack her.
"That doesn't mean leave alone to see when I would come the fuck out you dippy-" I'm growling but Stefan stopped me with a push back.
"Calm down. We were right outside we would never just leave them unattended," he said baring his fangs as well.
I come to my senses because I remembered I heard a twig snap earlier. I just push away and speed back to my room. What the hell was I thinking? I was suppose to be mad at them all. Especially them, my heart begins to swell, THEM, OUR TWINS. Suddenly faintly I hear a cellphone ring downstairs. I listen carefully it was Lucy who spoke.
"Hello," there was a pause.
I hear a faint "Mrs. Bennett?" the caller sounded male it was hard to tell.
"Yes this is she," she said. Another pause. "Oh sure give me a moment," I hear a lot of shuffling the twins cooing then the door closing.
Me not feeding in about week is making my hearing fade so I rip open a blood bag and sip on it. Instantly my senses pick up. I speed over to the window as if she sensed me she looked up with a wave of her hand I could no longer hear her or the caller. After a beat I see her cry and I knew it was about Bonnie. With Lucy she held strong but there was days I could hear her cry when she went to the bathroom or another room. That was the curse of being a vampire locked in a room for days. You hear things you didn't want to hear. She made a face and looked locked eyes and she looked confused.
She comes in and I hear her coming upstairs. I brace myself. The other two hot on her trail. I sigh.
A knock. My wall comes down just slightly.
"Um Damon, can we come in?" she asks softly.
"Ok," I say not really wanting to say yes or no.
They shuffle in and Stefan and Elena both looked curious as much as I felt it.
"Well they want to hold services tomorrow for Bonnie," she hesitates.
"What is it?" I snap she jumps a little. "Just spit it out," I calm slightly.
"Damon," Stefan says. Lucy held up her hand with a shake of her head.
"Well the man said that they cant do any embalming because every time he cuts her- the skin," seems she was having a hard time using past tense as well, "There isn't any bleeding and it heals right back up. He says the body doesn't even have a odor like a normal dead body which of course that body isn't normal but I don't understand it fully," Lucy says walking over to the windows to the balcony.
We made love on the balcony. A memory places out in front of me again. Her legs wrapped around me as I stroked slowly into her. "Dam you feel great," she breathed out with a sexy moan.
"You feel much better BB," I say with a groan and lick her neck.
"Go faster," she moans.
"Is there a chance she's still alive?" I hear Elena ask breaking me out of our- my memory, my breathing stops.
It took Lucy awhile to reply like she was a hard time speaking. "No baby she's gone. It's just weird. Looks like she'll be the next one to have all her organs all intact going in the ground," she says silently.
"Lucy what do you mean by the next one to still be intact organ wise?" Stefan asks what I was thinking. Then I remembered Lucy had just said she didn't understand it FULLY.
"Well my mom when she died I heard how some witches are to go with what they were born with. If if you needed a transplant you couldn't that's why you don't see us with organ donor stamps on out drivers licenses. It's a natural balance type of thing. Plus once the soul leaves a witches body the body seems to protect it's self with magic," she sighs.
"She's basically a empty shell, we knew this," I snap defeated.
Well there it was AGAIN she was gone and I knew it. I just thought it was ok to hope.
"Can you all go. I want to sleep." I say laying back on my bed closing my eyes.
"But-" Stefan touches Elena's shoulder and they all walk out. Silent tears start to fall BB wasn't the only empty shell.
The next day I got up but I didn't move I wasn't going to watch her being put under ground. There was a knock at my door. I didn't speak.
"Dam," Stefan said. I just close my eyes. "I'm coming in," he said and I didn't have time to protest he was already in the door and holding my son. "Somebody was looking around for his old man," he says with a smile. I sit up slowly.
"He could want anybody," I say with a scuff.
"No trust me when I say that they want something they let us know, remember they aren't normal babies," Stefan said smiling. As he sat next to me my son reached out to me. He seemed to had gotten bigger from when I seen yesterday evening.
"He looks bigger," I say.
"Yeah they are growing fast," Stefan held him out to me. I hestitate but take him and he did feel heavier. I let him stand in lap and he pulled at my face and my hair I chuckled that made him giggle and clap. "They need you Damon. I know your hurting but you have to pull threw for them before you miss out on a lot," Stefan says.
I sigh heavy "I know it's just I miss her so much Stef," I say and he laughs. I raise an eyebrow.
"Sorry it's just been so long since you called me that," he says. I nod my head. "Look after all we been threw and seen I'm sure she is walking around now and watching over us all and cursing you for not being with the twins," Stefan chuckles as my son tries to climb on my face I start laughing.
"This is all so new to me these feelings, this parent stuff. Who's to say I wont die someday leaving them all alone," I say bouncing my son on my knee.
"Who's to say but seriously it's time to start over and we can do it together. Sure there'll be days you'll hurt and want to be alone and you can get that but you have to come back if not for us do it for them. Bonnie would want that," he says.
I shake my head and sigh knowing he was right. If this was a long time I would have snapped his neck by now.
Just then Elena walked in with my daughter I smile even bigger. She hands her over to me and I love having them both in my arms it felt right. Elena sat in Stefan's lap.
"So think of any names yet?" she asked.
"Yup me and BB thought of em ages ago," I say.
"Well?" Stefan and her asked in unison.
I look at my son, "Gabriel," I say and he smiles. I look at my daughter she looks back smiling, "Alexa," I say and I smile with them. I see a slight flash I look up Elena had took a picture with her phone smiling. I just shake my head and look over to Bonnie's side of the bed and see a memory of her laying there smiling.
I began to get ready to lay my world to rest. I showered and memories of us making love in the shower came to me, me washing her back and legs when her stomach got to big. As I dressed I heard a lot of calls coming threw and Stefan and Elena as well as Lucy were speeding around like chickens with their heads cut off. It was going to be a private ceremony. Just close friends and family. Her dad had a heart attack but Lucy thought it was wise that one of us compel him and before he leaves the hospital have BB's room cleared and look like a regular guest room. Make it look like she never lived there. As we loaded in the suv I sat in the third row Stefan sat next to the twins in their car seats in the 2nd row as Elena drove and Lucy talked in the passenger seat. The drive was uneventful as I kept looking at the picture that Elena sent to me of me and the twins. I leaned forward while Stefan stared out the window. I watched the twins sleeping soundly but chuckled to myself as I sneak a picture of them all dressed up on my phone. THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL. Just then my phone rang. The twins began to move but slept on.
"Mr Salvatore?" the caller asked.
"Speaking," I say with an attitude.
"Um there seems to be a problem," the caller sounded nervous.
"Wait who is this?" I quietly snap. Stefan was all ears now turning in his seat.
"This is Mr Myers at the funeral home," his voice was shaking.
"So what is the problem Mr Myers? And it better be good enough where I wont have to remove your head because you almost woke up the babies you ass," I started to get angrier.
"Well um your wife's body is um missing," he squealed that last part out. I went to correct him but then everything seemed to slow down when what he said processed.
"Wait, what the fuck do you mean her body is missing?" I shout. The ride came to a hard stop and the babies started crying. Shit so much for not waking them.
Nobody's Pov
They walked swiftly as dark just laid rest over mystic falls. It didn't even take much for them to get in and put a quick spell on the security guard who fell asleep instantly. Their cloaks dragged on the floor behind them quietly.
"She's not going to be herself right?" a strong male voice rang out.
"Well with time maybe. But sometimes they don't come back at all. Some stay empty shells," a elderly woman's voice replies.
"Wow you were right she is beautiful," he says with a small smile stroking her cheek.
The woman whacked him up side the head "Cut it out or else," she growled. His hood flew back and his black wavy hair looked smooth in the dim lighting.
"Sorry," he says thinking about the task at hand.
"The ceremony is tomorrow morning, so we have to hurry," she says with a small smile herself. "Her soul is close by I can feel it, she is free but very sad and confused," the woman says with a grieving sigh.
"Oh man can you feel the magic and energy surrounding her body or is that just me?" he asked stunned.
"Wow she had powers out of this world. Or maybe it's after magic from the babies?" the woman guessed but couldn't be sure. "It's all on her after we do this so stay focused," she said.
He nodded. "She doesn't look like somebody who just had a baby let alone twins," he said looking at her body outline under the sheet. He liked what he saw.
"Magic is a powerful thing," she smiled but it faded when she seen how he was drooling over the body. "Hey what did I just say? Do you need another whack?" she asked.
She grabbed his hands with a hard grip with that he glared at her and a strong wind pushed her she smiled as her hood flew back she shook her curls he thought twice about going toe to toe with her. They both exhaled closing their eyes. They began the spell and chanted in another tongue from a different time. They knew the cost of this spell she could be her or simply be the living dead in some ways. The room begun to shake but they kept chanting staying intact not breaking stride. They chanted louder as the shaking made glasses fall off shelves and break. Their was a bright light so strong it blew them both apart and they both hit the ground hard on opposite sides of the room. They both stood weakly. Both gasped.
Damon's Pov
We rushed to the funeral home to meet with Mr Myers. Questions were swirling threw my mind as well as around me. I couldn't answer anything nor could Lucy it seemed. As we arrived there was two cop cars there. Me and Stefan go around back we headed down to the basement entrance the door was already open. There was yellow police tape around the autopsy table. The room was a mess I see Carol questioning the security guard who seemed out of it. I was the first to enter the security office I went to snap Myers neck but Stefan grabbed me up quickly.
"How the fuck do you lose a dead body?" I'm shouting.
"Damon stop we cant get anything out of him if you kill him," Stefan is saying but I'm out for blood.
Mr Myers is scared and backed so far into the wall, "I'm sorry but nobody prepared me for all this sir," he said nervously.
"Maybe I can compel you to kill yourself," I growl out trying to fight Stefan off of me. "Let's see if you can get up and walk away from it," I add. He starts crying. "Where is her body or I swear I will rip you body apart slowly while your loved ones watch," I yell.
Just then Lucy walks in with Elena. I look and before I could ask Lucy holds up a hand, "Caroline is watching the twins. This is my daughter I need to see what is going on," she says with a attitude I back off when I get a familiar thumping in my head knowing not to push it.
"So what happened?" Elena asked.
"Well um there is footage, I told the police I wouldn't show it until you arrived she seemed to understand which is odd," Mr Myers says and slides past me slowly not breaking eye contact once and tapped on the window getting Carol's attention. I had to remember to compel him again after this. We only compelled him to take care of her body normally and get all the arrangements taken care. I shake my head with a sigh. "This happened last night around ten o clock," he says.
"The moon was at it's highest I was doing a resting spell," Lucy says more to herself.
"Can somebody dim the light's a little," Mr Myers asked.
Carol did and we all watched as he played it from the beginning. Two cloaked figures walked past several cameras one looked smaller and leaner as the other looked very tall and filled out they moved fast. You see where the taller one blew something into the security guards face when he went for his weapon and he fell into a heavy sleep seconds later. They enter the room with Bonnie I tense how they move around her like reapers.
"I seen those cloaks before but it was so long ago," Lucy says.
I watch as the one strokes her cheek I growl "How come we cant hear anything? I want names so I track these fuckers down," I say with a growl fangs coming out.
Just then I see the one get whacked in the head and felt better and his hood fell down.
"Lawrence?" Lucy breathed out. "What would he want with my daughters body?" she asked.
"The sound seemed to cut off when they got to the body. Oh gets a little crazier just watch," Mr Myers says.
Damon didn't like how that Lawrence guy looked at BB he wanted to rip his eyes out of their sockets. He had a name and a face now it was on. The other hooded figure grabbed Lawrence's hand hard and a wind blew the hood back we all gasped.
"What the fuck?" I ask.
"Holy shit it cant be," Stefan said looking at the screen even closer.
"Oh my GOD," Elena said covering her mouth.
"Mom?" Lucy breathed out.
"She's suppose to be dead," I'm shouting and felt like I was losing my mind.
Lucy was stumped.
"It gets weirder," Mr Myers says. "Look," he said quietly.
They seemed to be doing a spell and the room started shaking explains the mess out there. A bright white light shone and we all covered our eyes. When we looked back at the screen. They were getting up but my eyes stayed on the figure that was now not only not dead but standing by the table. Her hair touched the floor and was a tangle of curls. I didn't see a face.
"I don't remember seeing this part," Mr Myers gasped.
The sound came in now.
"Look at you," Bonnie's Grams said. "Looks like you came back as Layla," she said with a smile.
Lawrence was looking away from her body I look at Stefan he was looking away from the screen as well.
"Let's get you dressed," Grams spoke gently and dressed her as well and wrapped her in a hooded cloak as well. "We have to take you away. Do you understand?" The figure shook their head that she understood. The all went to leave and as if she sensed it she looked up.
"Pause it," I shout and the screen froze.
My Bonnie. She was alive? Her eyes didn't look like her eyes they looked different, not the same. But he could see a shimmer of BB behind the light golden eyes. Everyone looked at each other. We all knew what this meant. A new battle. But we didn't know what was to follow with this. I shake my head and go out to the autopsy table touching it. It seems like everyone followed me. I knew what we had to do. I turned and looked at everybody.
"So," I breathed out leaning against the table. "Who saw this coming?"
THE END.
