No Turning Back - A Vampire Diaries Fanfic (TV Show)

The Finale of No Turning Back! :D I seriously think this is the longest chapter I've ever wrote in my life lol.

So so sorry it's taken me so long, I've had so much going on with my family.

But I hope you enjoy it!

Last chapter was the sacrifice, Jenna died and Klaus became a hybrid.

Elijah betrayed them leaving with Klaus.

Charlie told Klaus she'd go with him if he promised to leave her friends alone. Will he hold that to her?

Stefan found out about Damon's werewolf bite.

How will Charlie react when she finds out?

…"Have you told Charlotte?" Stefan added.

Damon shook his head. "No. And I want to keep it that way... at least for a little while longer... I will tell her."

Stefan stayed silent.

"Look, you want to do something for me?" Damon asked. "Keep this from Elena, last thing she needs is another grave to mourn over."

Damon then walked away, leaving his brother speechless…

Chapter 28

Damon headed back to the boarding house alone. He needed some time to think about what he was going to do. He took off his suit jacket throwing it onto the couch and headed upstairs.

He walked into his room to find Charlie sitting on the edge of his bed. She was still wearing her black dress from the funeral but she was barefoot and her hair now loose.

"What are you doing here?" Damon grumbled. He kept his back to her, heading straight over to the desk. He picked up the bottle of whiskey he'd left there earlier.

"I think there's something you need to tell me," she said, standing up from the bed.

"I thought you were going back to Elena's for tea and scones," he mocked as he poured himself a drink.

"I was until I overheard the end of your conversation with Stefan."

He slammed the glass down onto the table, turning to face her. "You heard nothing."

She shook her head unamused. "Don't do that, Damon. I'm 260 years old and I've been drinking human blood. I know what I heard. So don't lie to me. What do you want Stefan to keep from Elena and me?" she asked raising her voice.

"You know my brother, he's always been one to over exaggerate."

"Don't blame Stefan. You're the one who told him not to say anything."

"And I said that for a reason, Charlie. I don't want you to know," he scoffed.

"You said the last thing Elena needs is another grave to mourn over..."

"It meant nothing, Charlotte," he yelled.

"Of course it meant something... and look at you... you look terrible," she shouted.

"Thank you," he said with the barest glimmer of a smile. "You on the other hand look beautiful. Your anger suits you."

"You're unbelievable. Stop deflecting, Damon. There's obviously something wrong with you... vampires don't get ill... unless..."

Damon turned away from her.

"Oh, my God. It makes sense now. The other day in the woods... Tyler bit you, didn't he?" she demanded.

Damon didn't answer. He remained silent, staring out of the window in front of him.

Charlie let out an angry sigh. "Damon you shouldn't have helped me. A bite from Tyler wouldn't have hurt me. Only Klaus can kill me and you know that."

"Well I did help you. I saw Tyler attacking you and I lost it. Sorry for wanting to protect you," he said bitterly. He poured another drink, downing it in seconds.

"Damon," she whispered. Not knowing what else to say. What could she say? Nothing was going to make this better.

"But here we are. You can't help me this time." He slammed the glass down onto the table.

"Don't say that, Damon. There has to be a cure. Stefan and Elena won't just let you die. And neither will I. Don't give up without a fight."

He finally turned to face her. "Then what's the plan, Charlotte? I mean, look at this." He yanked up his sleeve exposing his bite.

Charlotte held her breath as she took in the severity of Damon's wound.

"What are you going to do about that?" he said harshly before quickly pulling his sleeve back down.

"I don't know. But there has to be something. Vampires have existed for thousands of years. Someone out there has to know some sort of cure."

"So what? Are you gonna run to daddy original for help? Oh wait, he already betrayed you," he scoffed.
