Not so heartless | D. Salvatore

The storm

"Ugh. How long are you gonna blame me for turning your birth mother into a vampire?" He said dramatically

"I'm not blaming you. I've accepted the fact that you're a psychopath with no redeeming qualities." Elena stated

"Ouch." Damon said

"This isn't being productive. We're gonna figure out a way to deal with Pearl and the vampires, yeah?" Stefan said

Damon walked out of the living room without saying a word, I could hear him walking up the stairs towards his bedroom.

"I'll deal with it." I said as I turned on my heels and followed after him. I walked up the stairs and stuck my head into his bedroom to see him sitting on his bed.

"So, what was that about?" I asked as I stepped into his room

"What was what about?" He returned the question, not understanding what I was talking about. I walked into his room and sat down next to him.

"If I remember correctly, you told Pearl you never want to see Katherine again." I said

"I didn't...I don't. But what I do want is to confront her, maybe kill her. Stab her through the heart, something poetic like that." He said with a shrug

"For once, I actually agree with you." I nodded

"Really? You actually want me to kill someone?" He asked rhetorically

"Yes. Katherine's a bitch." I said, causing Damon to laugh slightly.

"That she is." He agreed

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What happens when you leave your phone on silent and go for a long shower? You end up with Damon Salvatore banging on your door, that's what. I had hardly been away from my phone for that long and I had eight missed calls from him.

I opened the door as he barged in, looking frustrated. "You're ignoring me. Both you, and Elena."

Elena walked in from the kitchen, having heard Damon come in. "The six missed calls, Sorry, my phone's dead." She lied

"Is Stefan here?" Damon asked

"No. Why? Is something wrong?" Elena asked

"He went out into the woods and didn't come back. I can't get him on his phone, I figured he was here with you." Damon said

Elena immediately dialed Stefan's number, hoping he would pick up. "It's going straight to voicemail. Where could he be?"

"You're not gonna like what I'm thinking." Damon said

"What?" I asked

"I think the tomb vamps have taken him." Damon said

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The rain was still pouring down outside as Damon banged harshly on the front door of the old farmhouse that Pearl had described.

"Pearl, open the door. I swear to god, I'll burst through it and rip your head off." Damon called out.

The door opened just a crack to reveal a man who I didn't recognise. "Pearl's not home."

"Mm. Beautiful weather." The man said as he fully opened the door to look outside. His eyes then landed on me, and I could see them darken with hunger and danger.

"Not a ray of sun in the sky." The man added

"Where's my brother?" Damon asked

The man smirked and opened the door wider. "Billy."
