“Damon!”

Everything moved in slow motion, I could no longer feel the pain that once consumed my body, I watched as Damon knees bucked under him and he fell back the knife still embedded deep in his chest. Quickly I shifted myself and cushioned his body as he collapsed I ignored the sharp pain in my head as I did so, for a moment everything was still and silent no one dared to make any noise or movement.

Even Stefan was silent, the silence seemed to stretch on forever until Klaus let out a loud cry and was on Stefan in a matter of seconds, he pinned him down shouting “you bastard!” over and over.

CRACK

 

I let out a loud yelp as I felt the bones in my back and shoulder, shift and pop the change was faster than the other time’s I’ve shifted but the pain was more intense than the other times also. I shifted myself from underneath Damon lowering him gently onto the ground, his eyes were half-lidded that wasn’t a good sign, gently I nuzzled his cheek with my muzzle whimpering silently he smiled weakly at me I gave him a wolfish grin in return and turned my attention toward the knife sticking out of his chest. The knife seemed to give a dark glow it didn’t take much for me to figure out it was enchanted which meant I had to get it out of him, lightly I poked my nose against his cheek giving him a silent apology for what I was about to do. Then reached over, grabbed the handle with my teeth, and yanked it out of him.

Damon’s eye’s flew open, his mouth formed into a ‘o’ as he let out a silent scream of agony. His back arched uncomfortably before he collapsed back down, I let out a small whimper before a sharp snap was heard my left arm started to feel like it was on fire, my legs gave out from under me and I fell onto my side my body quivered as my whole body felt like it was on fire. The black fur on my body grew shorter and shorter disappearing into the follicles in my skin, the ears slowly and painfully began shed off the top of my head, my gums tingled and hummed as my fangs shorted in length I blinked a few times as my visions changed breaking through the blurry vision.

When the pain stopped, I felt a dull ache run through my whole body well it’s better than feeling like someone poured kerosene all over my body and lit me on fire, that was getting really freaking annoying. My eye’s shifted to the crumbled heap in my peripheral vision and I hurried over to it “Damon!” I shouted I wrapped my arms around him holding him close. He looked up at me eyes glazed looking but not really seeing me slowly his eyes began to close “No Damon don’t!” I shook him hard his eyes flew open “don’t close your eyes”.

Bonnie and Elijah hurried over to us, they kneeled down Elijah eyes looked over Damon’s shaking body and his face paled, “this isn’t good the wounds too deep” no! He can’t be serious!. I turned toward Bonnie who gazed at me sadly “Can’t you do something!?!” I asked/yelled Bonnie shook her head “it’s too late whatever I try on him now won’t work”. My eyes widened I opened my mouth to speak but a small pinch at my chest caused me to look down.

Damon grinned weakly at me, wait he’s…he’s grinning? Why the hell is he grinning when he’s dying!?!, he reached up slowly and caressed my face running his thumb against my cheek. I placed my hand on top of his and in a way intertwined our fingers. I let him pull me down into a kiss I gasped at the intensity of it Damon was pouring his heart and soul into the kiss trying desperately to deliver a message. I kissed back –hard- trying to pour my own message through our lips reluctantly I pulled back when breathing started to become an issue.

  

I smiled when I noticed that even in his tired state, he head a goofy grin on his face as he mouth I love you before his eyes closed and his body went limp, I let out a gasp and shook Damon again “Damon? Damon open your eyes!” Elijah’s hand touched my shoulders stopping me “he’s…he’s gone Tyler” w-what? “No…” Bonnie sniffed tears streaming down her eyes. As she nodded in agreement.

  I couldn’t hold back my tears, I clutched onto Damon’s lifeless body harder as I sobbed uncontrollably, ….but my sadness soon turned to rage….Stefan this was all his fault everything was his fault!. Damon was dead because of him! A growl flowed through my lips as I quaked with anger I was going to kill him.

Elijah’s grip on my shoulder tightened, almost painfully it was almost as if the vampire knew exactly what I was thinking, “Don’t” he mumbled I hissed at him I don’t care what he says I wanted blood!.

“Tyler! Tyler wait!” I turned toward Bonnie, my bloodlust still raging inside of me as she stared at me in realization, “check his pockets!” I quirked my brow at her “why?” I questioned “just do it!” Jesus Christ what the hell is wrong with her! I obeyed moving Damon slightly away from me so I could dig into his pockets his left pocket revealed nothing but I frowned when I felt something…cool and what I guessed made of glass I curled my fingers around it pulled it out revealing it to be a vial what the hell is this?.

“Make him drink it! Hurry!” at this point I’m willing to do anything if it means she’ll stop yelling in my ears. I pulled out the cork, opened Damon’s mouth and poured the bubbling greenish liquid down his throat before discarding the bottle. “What now?” I asked “wait” she said I blinked at her but did what she said the seconds stretched on and for a moment I became frustrated just what the hell are we waiting for anyway!?!. When nothing happened I heard Stefan’s mocking laugh pound into my ears “looks like you we’re too late to save your damsel prince charming” I snarled at him he is so going to be tortured before he dies!.

Elijah’s gasp caused everyone to look at him in curiosity, “what the hell is that?” I looked at Damon’s body and stared at it or rather at his chest a golden light, weaved and twirled at Damon’s wound it ghosted over the massive red patch of deformed skin as if caressing it. Then pieces of skin stitched together the light then wrapped around Damon’s pale neck, unlocking the chains and locks created by Stefan’s spell the light danced into the air before vanishing.

I held my breath, color returned to Damon’s cheeks his body no longer looking deathly pale, his eyes twitched he arched his back as he let out a gasp his eyes flying opening looking wildly around the room before they landed on me. Damon grinned from ear to ear “Tyler” he said his voice slightly hoarse but still held so much love and compassion it made me soar, without a moment’s hesitation I grabbed Damon tightly and crashed our lips together he jumped at first surprised by the action but soon melted into it.

My fingers traveled over his skin, a hunger I haven’t felt in a long time threatened to consume, if I don’t stop kissing Damon now I’ll probably end up taking him in front of the others I pulled back panting. Damon blinked and shook his head trying to break through the haze of lust that I was sure he was feeling as well “wow” I nodded for some reason I couldn’t speak, the sound of light sobbing brought our attention toward Klaus who was still had Stefan pinned down but was crying heavily.

Damon quirked his brow, “Klaus what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” “b-because” Klaus began whipping furiously at his tears as he tried to stop crying, but this proved to be useless as the tears just kept pouring “this….this is such a beautiful moment!” oh for the love of! I rolled my eyes Alaric awkwardly tried to comfort Klaus as he cried loudly but Stefan looked downright annoyed. For that one moment I couldn’t blame him Damon chuckled and I couldn’t help but kiss his temple.

That goofy smile was back on his face in seconds, before something flickered in his eyes “Tyler there’s something I have to tell you” I cocked my head eyeing him curiously “what is it?”, Damon nibbled on his bottom lip nervously “I’ve been meaning to tell you for a long time now I….I love you” he hid his face in my chest in embarrassment. God damn it! When he’s like this is so hard not to just claim him! I nudged Damon to look back up at me and kissed his lips “I love you too”.
