The Vampire Diaries – Every End Has A Start von Asu91 ================================================================================ Kapitel 36: Abducted (Part 3) ----------------------------- Und nun endlich Teil 3 von 3! Viel Spaß! _________________________________________________________________________________ Elena felt the urge to puke. Not only was she mad at Damon for falling so easily for Katherine's false charm but also for them making her watch their making out session. Couldn't they do it somewhere else? Anywhere else? Where she wouldn't have to watch? Elena felt tears of suppressed anger stream down her face. Damon, you idiot! she thought and couldn't help but notice the pang of jealousy hit her heart. She didn't feel anything for Damon. She was sure about that but she just couldn't stand to see him with Katherine. She wanted to shout at him to wake him up but no sound escaped her lips. She couldn't even avert her eyes. She was too shocked. But it was also a good thing that she couldn't look somewhere else because then she would have missed Katherine's next move. When Damon least expected it because he was too lost in the kiss Katherine pulled out a syringe. "Damon, watch out!" Elena screamed but she was too late. Katherine had already driven the syringe into his body and injected verveine into his system. Damon's eyes widened in shock as realization hit him and his body stiffened. In a swift movement Katherine hurled him through the tomb against the wall to the left of Elena. "Damon!" Elena shouted and wanted to run over to him but Katherine's icy voice stopped her. "Stay where you are!" Elena stopped halfway. She was torn between running over to Damon and obeying her kidnapper. She looked at Damon. He was lying on the ground, facing her. He was still conscious so the dose Katherine had injected into him hadn't been very large. Still Elena could clearly see that he was in pain. "Do as she tells you," he groaned. Slowly, not letting Damon out of her sight, Elena walked backward until her back touched the wall and sat down. "Good girl," Katherine said and strolled closer to them. "So what am I gonna do with you two?" "You bitch!" Damon snarled, flinching in pain. "Language, Damon. You don't talk to your fiancée like that." Elena's jaw dropped. Fiancée?" "Not true," Damon spat. "It's not the same like with humans," Katherine explained to Elena. "If a vampire promises to turn a human so they can be together forever it's similar to a proposal, don't you think?" "You didn't turn me," Damon reminded her angrily. "I just happened to have your blood in my system when I died. Damn it, I died for you, bitch!" "I know. I was there. You tried hard. You and Stefan. And it was you as I recall who was killed first." "So what? The fact is that you didn't turn me. I could've just died the day after." "But you didn't," Katherine replied in a sing-song voice. "I know what happened." "How?" "I was close by. After the guard let me go I stayed a little longer to watch you struggle before I left," Katherine told him. "But Emily-" "Emily knew of course but I ordered her not to tell you so she didn't." Damon growled. Katherine frowned at that. "You know I was actually surprised that you were the last to turn of you two. I thought you'd crave this life so much." "This life means nothing without you!" Damon barked. "And now it doesn't even mean anything with you." "Oh, don't say that, Damon, honey. We can still be together." "Rejected. Go to hell, Katherine!" Katherine pouted. "Shame on you, Damon Salvatore for turning down an offer of incredible power." Damon scoffed. Katherine chuckled. Both Elena and Damon stared at her. "Is she good a replacement for me, then?" Elena glanced at Damon who hesitated, meeting her gaze. Then he said. "You wish." Elena stared at him in disbelief. Now that hadn't been the answer she had expected. So she didn't measure up to Katherine. The great Katherine always comes first. Anger boiled up inside her. Katherine on the other hand smiled triumphantly. "I haven't finished," Damon let them know. "I was going to say 'You wish you could ever be as great as Elena.' She isn't a replacement for you. She's something else entirely. She's better than you!" Elena let out a sigh of relieve, beaming and equally trying to suppress tears of happiness. This was the first time since their road trip to Bree's that Damon had been so open to her about his feelings. It didn't matter if it was just to piss of Katherine. His uttering it out loud was all that mattered. She gave Damon a shy smile, silently thanking him whose face was blank. His eyes were fixed on Katherine's face which was full of anger. Then suddenly she calmed down and gave him her sweetest smile. "You're a horrible liar, Damon." "What?" "You still have feelings for me. I can tell from the way you look at me with those longing eyes. You can't resist me. No one can." She walked over to him and knelt down in front of him, taking his face into her hands. Damon couldn't stop her as he couldn't move. "But I will forgive you, Damon." She closed the distance between them and kissed him to put him back under her spell. That was Elena's cue. The moment their lips touched she darted toward the tunnel. "You're not going anywhere!" Katherine shrieked and rushed after her. Little did she know that Elena wasn't trying to escape. After she'd injected verveine into Damon Katherine had dropped the syringe which was now lying on the ground with a rest of the elixir in it. Feeling Katherine close behind her Elena let her body fall straight on the ground before her and lunged for the syringe. Then she quickly turned around and droved the syringe into Katherine's chest, injected verveine into her just when she was hovering above her. Katherine stiffened and backed away. She pulled the syringe out of her body but it was too late. The verveine had already spread in her system. She glared at Damon and Elena and headed for the exit as fast as her paralyzed body would take her. "I'll be back," she announced and then she left. Elena let out a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding. Then she ran over to Damon, knelt beside him and put a hand on his shoulder. "You okay?" "Elena?" "Yeah?" "You're unbelievable, you know that?" Damon said, still not grasping what had just happened. Elena flashed a smile at him. "I'm sorry I missed the heart." "Are you kidding me? She could've hurt you! Killed you even!" "No," Elena contradicted calmly. "Katherine would never kill me. At least not before I gave birth. I'm her only chance to get a child that looks like her. She needs me." "It was still insane." Elena just smiled. "You should go home," Damon said now. "I'm not going without you," Elena declared. "Then we're gonna have to spend a couple of hours more in here 'cause I can't move a finger," Damon stated. "Blood would help, right?" Elena mused aloud. "Forget it, Elena." "Why? It would accelerate your recovery, right?" "I'm not taking blood from you, Elena," Damon clarified. "Why not? Isn't it good enough for you?" she asked pointedly. "That's not the reason and you know it. Katherine already drank from you." "I'm fine and I'll still be after you drank from me," Elena assured him. Damon pursed his lips. "Come on, Damon. If you take too much I'll let you know." Damon hesitated for another moment, then he said "Relax. It won't hurt that way." "Okay." Elena leant back against the wall, trying to relax as best as she could. She was a little nervous of course. She'd been bitten before by Stefan but she'd never given her blood willingly yet. Damon held on to her shoulder as he slowly straightened up and leant in. He placed his lips down on her neck just where Katherine had bitten Elena and kissed the wound. Elena shivered under his touch. The skin was very sensitive there. Damon chuckled quietly and pressed his lips to the spot again. Then he bit. His protruding fangs pierced her flesh effortlessly. Elena was surprised when it didn't hurt and gasped loudly when Damon started to suck. She could feel her blood leaving her body and while it did she was seeing stars. Her stomach seemed to be full of butterflies. Her whole skin was tingling and she had to press her lips firmly together so that no sound would give her feelings away while one wave of pleasure was followed by the next. After some seconds she began to feel dizzy but thought it was just a side-effect of the blood exchange. Just as though Damon knew about this he stopped sucking now and retracted his teeth. Elena watched his face change back to normal and smiled. She knew what an idiot smile it was that was on her face but she just couldn't stop smiling. She'd never felt so... aroused in her life. Damon grinned at her dreamy expression. "You should see your idiot smile now. It's priceless," he teased her, laughing. The sound of his laughter made Elena snap out of it. She smacked his chest. "You're such an ass. You knew this would happen, didn't you?" "Or course. I know how to give pleasure to women," Damon said grinning. "Shut up," Elena said. "Let's get out of here." "Wait, first I'll give you some blood so you'll recover just as quickly." "No need," Elena rejected. "I told you I'd be fine and I am. Just a little tired." "I bet you are," Damon agreed, offered her his hand and pulled her up with him. Once standing Elena lost balance and threatened to fall backward but Damon caught her. "So you're fine, yeah?" "Yeah, I am. Don't give me blood. I just need to rest." "Have you forgotten what happened the last time you lost much blood?" "And have you forgotten what happened after you gave me blood? No blood tonight. I promise I'll have some rest when I'm home. "I'll make sure of that," Damon said and scooped her up in his arms, prepared to leave. "Wait, the journal," Elena said, pointing at the little book on the ground. Damon picked it up and rushed out of the tomb. "Thank god, you're back," Jeremy greeted them relieved when he noticed their return. Damon had entered through the window in Elena's room and Jeremy had heard their voices. "Is she okay?" "I'm fine, Jer," Elena assured him. "I'm just tired. It was a long day. Just go back to bed." "Sure. Goodnight," Jeremy said and left the room. Once he was gone Damon carried Elena over to the bed, put her down and sat down beside her. He grabbed her hand to feel her pulse as he told her but Elena knew that it was only a pretext. She looked into his brown eyes and was surprised to find them sad. "Damon, what is it?" "I'm sorry, Elena," he apologized. "I came to save you but I was no help. Instead I fell for Katherine again. She's right. I couldn't resist her. Everything came back to me and I fell for her charm again. "It's okay, Damon," Elena tried to soothe him and stroke his hand. "At least you're honest about it." Damon knew that she was thinking of Stefan who had gone to Katherine behind her back. "Are you gonna forgive him?" "I haven't decided yet. Maybe I'll never forgive him." Damon grinned. "That would make two of us." "Damon? Back then when you talked about the night you turned, you seemed to be upset about something. Does Stefan have anything to do with it?" "Not now, Elena," Damon evaded. "Stefan and I have long history. There are many reason for which I hate him and it would take too much time to explain them all in detail to you." Elena nodded. She didn't want to push him. He had already opened up to her once tonight. A thought crossed her mind and she frowned. "What is it?" Damon asked now. "Would you be mad at me if I forgave Stefan?" she inquired. Damon shook his head. "What's between Stefan and me doesn't have anything to do with you. You can make your own decision whether you trust him again or not. You don't have to choose sides." Elena's face lit up. She gave him a small smile that turned into a yawn. "And that's my cue to leave," Damon said, let go of her hand and got up. "Sleep, tight." "Wait, Damon," Elena stopped him. "Does Stefan know about this? What Katherine did to me?" "Not yet. Do you want me to tell him?" "No," Elena replied. "He would come to me, apologizing and brooding endlessly about how he wasn't there to save me. I wouldn't believe him after I saw him with her." "I understand. I'll keep my mouth shut," Damon promised. "Good night, Elena." "Good night, Damon." Damon turned his back on her and left through the window. Elena turned off the lamp on her bedside table, closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after that. _________________________________________________________________________________ Okay, als erstes möchte ich mich für diese richtig misslungene Actionszene entschuldigen. Ich krieg die einfach nicht richtig auf die Reihe. Ich hoffe ihr seid nicht zu sehr enttäuscht! An diejenigen, die ein wenig verwirrt von Damons Verhalten sind, er ist jetzt definitiv über Katherine hinweg nachdem er endlich mal kapiert hat, dass er unter ihrem Bann stand. Und ja, Stefan und Elena werden sich wieder versöhnen, dennoch wird das immer eine Delena Story bleiben. Ich hab schon alles für die späteren Kapitel ausgeklügelt. Also, Kath ist weg, aber sie wird wie gesagt wiederkommen. Ich werd von jetzt an öfter etwas von der Serie übernehmen. Nicht, weil mir nichts einfällt, sondern weil mir die Plotline und die Dialoge so gut gefallen. Oh und übrigens das war die Stelle, an der ich ursprünglich "das Event" platzieren wollte, aber leider musste ich es wieder verschieben. Wäre viel zu früh gewesen. Jedenfalls weiß ich jetzt ganz genau, wo es stattfinden wird und allzu lange wird es nicht mehr dauern, also... stay tuned! Bis zum nächsten Mal eure Asu Hosted by Animexx e.V. (http://www.animexx.de)
