Damon's POV
We sneak into the bedroom peaking thru the crack of the door waiting for them all to reach the landing that way we can kill them one by one from behind. I really don't feel like being shot again. The last person passes the the door. "Go." I whisper. We take them out with ease and no one had to be shot. I knock the last one out to interrogate him. I leave him with the others as I run back the hallway to the bathroom.
"Coast is clear." The door then slowly opens as I pop my head in with a smile. "Everyone cozy?" I snicker. I look to Elena, her face as white as snow. I frown, "How are you feeling?" I ask her.
"Nauseated."
She stands up and she starts to teeter. I pick her up bridal style and take her to our bedroom and lay her in our bed. She smiles weakly at me. "Get some sleep love. You look exhausted."
"Okay," she replies with a yawn. "Is everything okay?"
"It's fine. We have it handled. Just get some sleep." I lean in and kiss her forehead.
"I love you." I tell her.
"I love you too," she whispers before falling asleep.
I quietly leave the room and go back to the others. I walk into the spare room to find it empty. I walk downstairs and find them in the library.
The stranger was tied to one of the chairs. He was about 5'8 and largely built. He was probably the biggest guy out of them all.
"Have you gotten anything out of him?" I ask.
"Nothing yet," replies Stefan. "I was waiting for you. How's Elena?"
"She just fell asleep. Where's blondie and Enzo?"
"They went to dispose of the bodies."
I turn to look at the intruder. "We'll start out with something easy. What's your name?" He glares at me. "Look we can do this the hard way or well...the hard way." Still no reply.
I walk over to the fireplace and add more wood to it. I grab the poker from its holder. I set it in the fire and walk back over to him. I hit him with an uppercut to his jaw, his lip busts open and blood starts running down his chin. "Still nothing..? hmm." I grab the hot poker, "Last chance?"
"My name is Cambrian."
"That's a start. Now Cambrian tell me what the hell you and your boys were doing here? You obviously know about vampires, but why attack us?"
"We heard of the a hybrid child that is growing inside of a woman in Mystic Falls."
"How did you hear of this?"
No answer. I put the hot poker against his chest. It sizzles against his skin. He screams out in pain. I wait for him to answer and still no reply. I hand the poker to Stefan who puts it back in the holder, while I deliver a hard blow into his chest . A groan escapes through his lips.
"Insult my child again and see what happens. What do you want with my child!"
"There's a prophecy that speaks of a human carrying a child fathered by a vampire."
"Oh yeah? What does this prophecy say?"
"That the child will either be the most dangerous creature that ever lived or our savior. We were sent here to make sure that the prophecy turns out for the best."
"You're insane. What were your orders?"
"We were to bring the mother back to our coven."
"And then what?" I shout, seething with anger.
"That was all we were told. We have failed but others will keep coming until the mission is complete."
I grab the hot poker again. "How many more will come?"
"As many as it takes. We will get the child and the mother. She will play an important part in the prophecy. She will raise the child in the name of good. You... you are the one that will make him the monster."
I my fist into his chest and rip out his heart. I threw it on the fire and just watched it burn.
How can I be the one to turn him into a monster. And why did he say him... Is it a boy? Who am I kidding? He was full of shit. Prophecies are just things people made up back in the day to scare people into following their rules and regulations. But he can't be lying about people coming after Elena. I mean look how many they sent this time... Stefan interrupted my thoughts.
"Damon. We need to protect her. We need to move and tell no one where we're going. We're going to need all the help we can get. They're going to send more this time, god only knows how many. I bet this was just a trial run to see how we'd do."
"You're absolutely right brother. But where?"
"I have something in mind, but you're not going to like it."
