*Rosa POV*
Dear Diary,
Today was mental, I am not sure I can even put it into words. I will start with the moment I woke up and try my best to explain everything...
*12 hours earlier*
Aww, Damon really looks adorable when he is asleep, defiantly cute rather than hot. So much like human Damon with his hair all messy, covering his eyes. I would almost say this is my favourite Damon because it is the one that was my friend all those years ago, long before Katherine, before I was a witch, before we were meant to marry. The Damon I am looking at now is just a slightly older looking 16-17 year old Damon.
“you’re staring at me” Damon muttered.
“well maybe you should try being less cute then” I smirked and he pinned me to the bed.
“honey I am not cute” he had vamped his face up and I had to laugh at him. Calling him cute always got to him, it was my way of being able to say he was hot, without giving him the ego boost.
“yes you are” I vamped my own face up and flipped us over.
“fluffy bunnies and little puppies are cute, I am not cute” he counted flipping us over.
“you should add Damon Salvatore to that nice little cute list you have going” I pushed him off me and jumped to my feet.
“you’re really going to get it now Rosa” he pounced at me, but I easily danced away from him. He may be slightly faster than me, but I was more agile, it was the dancer in me, which worked in my favour in a small space such as his bedroom.
“time out” I shouted picking up my underwear and pulling it on as he pulled on his own.
“next round” he smirked and pounced at me again. I waited until the last second then darted out of the way. If I wanted to I could use my witch powers to help me, but I like the idea of us being fairly evenly matched as we were the same age and fed on roughly the same amount of blood.
Remember what I said about agile, well I just slipped over my dress from last night. As I nearly face plummeted the floor I felt a pair of hands grab my waist to stop me. He turned me around so I was facing him then laughed at me.
“only you could trip over Rosa” he chuckled letting go of me. I bent down to pick up the offending article to hide a frown. My sides felt extremely cold where his warm hands had just been.
“what we doing today” I questioned looking over the dress to make sure I hadn’t ripped it.
“looking through Gilbert journals for the witch site” he shrugged putting some clothes on.
“fun” I jumped up and down and clapped my hands sarcastically.
“I know how to spoil you” he smirked and wiggled his eyebrows at me as I walked out of the room.
*Damon POV*
She is making me want her more... if anyone else called me cute, they would find their heart located on the other side of the room. But not Rosa, she could say anything to me and I would let it slide. She was my weak spot, as Elena is Stefan’s. I will just have to stick to eternal protector and special friends as I will never be her weak spot. I opened the first Gilbert journal and then closed it again. Rosa can search them all a lot quicker. She can narrow it down to the book and I will search that book. Of course, we will have to appear like we are looking at other ones because of Katherine, but oh well.
“put me to work” Rosa sighed sitting on the bed. I put the first book in her hands and she closed her eyes.
Fifteen books later and there is still no sign of the witch site. Jonathon Gilbert would have written it down if he had know it... Stop worrying, there are still another twenty journals to go.
“next” Rosa sighed chucking the book behind her. It softly floated to the floor as I put the next journal in her hands.
“next” She muttered handing the book back to me and opening her eyes. I put the next one in her hands and looked at the one she handed back to me. It had been in this one, but she carried on as if she hasn’t found it because Katherine was down stairs listening to everything.
“last one” I told her putting the final journal in her hands. She just sat there with it in her hands for a few minutes then discarded them as she did the rest.
I handed back the journal that we found about an hour ago and she searched it closer this time. The book started to flick though it’s pages then it stopped and she opened her eyes. She had made it fall onto the page all about the site that Emily was burnt on, the exact same sight the other witches were burned on.
“shouldn’t we do something about the dead original vampire in our basement” Rosa asked, reading the journal upside down.
“your right... come on” I jumped up off the bed and walked down to said basement with said dead vampire in it.
*Rosa POV*
Man he is indestructible. Damon has tried a flamethrower and I have tried all manner of different witch tricks and still he will not disappear.
“you think we could chop him up into tiny pieces and scatter them around the world” I asked Damon.
“try it” he shrugged. I focused on an axe materialising and then I attacked his body. Nothing, damn to be an original was good, if it meant you were barely destroyable.
“you will never get the dagger back, he is indestructible” Katherine muttered from behind us.
“no kidding” Damon and I snipped together looking at her. She was doing that same freaky smiled that was there last night and I shivered.
“how do you know so much about original vampires” I asked her.
“spend 500 years running from one... actually don’t, it’s not the most fun in the world” she smiled at me and I nodded.
“so when I told you my plan to kill Elijah, why didn’t you worn me that I would die if I use the dagger on him” Damon questioned.
“so many rules, it is all very confusing” she shrugged.
“did you know he would die” I frowned and she faltered slightly.
“did he tell you his plan to kill Klaus” she changed the subject and suddenly seemed to stop looking at me, almost as if she felt... guilty.
“why are you still here” Damon sighed.
“because you haven’t forcefully removed me” she smirked. Damon lifted up the flamethrower again and I glared at her. She grabbed her head and an evil smirk fell on my lips. She may be family and a friend but I get the faintest feeling she knew Damon was going to die if he used the dagger.
“Rosa, please” Katherine whispered and I stopped.
“what is it Katherine, you have your ‘I have information’ voice on” I snapped.
“I want Klaus dead just as much as you, if I didn’t I would be long gone by now. You’re in danger as well Rosa, if he finds you and gets you on his side somehow... well it will not be the best idea in the world” she muttered and I looked at Damon. He looked pissed, but I am not sure if it was with Katherine, Klaus, Elijah or the fact someone else was after me.
“I wanted out of the tomb, it didn’t matter who paid the price. Of course I knew Damon would die” Katherine stopped walking away, turned around and told us.
That was me gone. I ran after her and started to fight her. She was laughing the whole time and Damon just stood and watched. She grabbed me by my hair and dragged me off to a room.
“spell it so he can’t hear us” Katherine hissed still pulling on my hair.
“done” I whispered and she let go of my hair. I could hear that Damon was running up to where we were so I flicked my hand and the door closed and locked so he couldn’t come in.
“what you want Katherine” I muttered, trying my best not to attack her again.
“I am sorry I tried to kill Damon, but it was a choice between him, Stefan and you” she told me.
“I would rather you had chosen me” I admitted and she stopped her pacing to face me.
“and I would rather it have been him than you” she countered.
“same old bitch, caring about no one but you” I snipped.
“not true Rosa, I care about you and I love Stefan” she smiled at me.
“because I look and act like your precious Kristen, there is no other reason behind it and Stefan will never love you” I snapped.
“Rosa, please stop pacing” Katherine begged and pinned me against a wall.
“I am truly sorry I tried to have Damon killed, but only because it would have hurt you. I wanted out of the tomb and I had to choose one of you three to do it” she looked into my eyes while holding my arms. She knew I would be reading her and all I got was the truth. She wasn’t sorry for what she did, but she was sorry about how much it had hurt me.
“you should get off me now” I pushed her away from me and lifted all the spells on the room. The door opened and I walked out of it.
Damon was waiting just outside but I walked past him and ignored all the questions he was firing at me.
“stop following me, I want to be alone” I sighed and walked into my room, slamming the door in his face and locking it. I turned my radio on and flopped onto the bed.
“you forgot the window” someone whispered and picked me up, putting me in there lap.
“Damon, please just drop it” I sighed.
“what did she say to you” he asked and I rolled my eyes.
“I said drop it” I snapped and jumped out of his lap to glare at him.
“stop with the pissed witch eyes already, you’re not going to hurt me” he muttered and I looked down.
“I need a drink” I mumbled and walked out of my room.
I can’t tell him what she said because he would want explanations. He already does want one about why I went so mental at Katherine for trying to have him killed. So adding ‘Katherine was sorry that she hurt me that bad’, to the mix was not an option.
“you’re my friend Damon, that’s why I went mad at her” I sighed then downed the drink in my hand.
“and what did she say to you” he asked taking the glass from my hands as I was gripping it tightly.
“she had to choose one of us three to sacrifice if she was to get out of the tomb” I whispered looking at his face for his reaction.
“and I chose Rosa and Stefan... it is always Rosa and Stefan” Katherine smirked.
“so what am I, spare parts” Damon rolled his eyes at Katherine and went back to looking at me.
“spoilers” She giggled looking at me. I’m going to go with she knows just how much I care about Damon.
“we are not playing your games, not today Katerina” I stared her down and she shrugged.
“what did papa and baby witch have to say” Damon asked Stefan as he walked into the house. I was still staring at Katherine, and she was staring back.
“isn’t she gone or dead yet” Stefan asked glaring at Katherine.
“Rosa has had a good go at it” Damon shrugged.
“and I am contemplating trying again” I shrugged and then my staring at Katherine turned into a witch glare and she held her head.
“I thought they were friends, what got her so pissed” Stefan frowned.
“Katherine knew the dagger would kill me” Damon shrugged.
“and she is choosing friends over family” Katherine hissed, still doubled over in pain.
“you are not my family, I do not care about you one bit” I snapped looking away from her.
“so kill me, make me unable to move and rip my heart out” Katherine held her arms out wide and I ran over to her and pinned her to a wall.
“do it” she encouraged staring into my eyes. I waved the other hand that was not around her throat and moved just as a piece of wood flew across the room, landing centimetres from her heart.
“you missed” she cooed.
“no I didn’t. It is scraping along your heart. Try anything to hurt the people I care about again and it will be a few millimetres higher next time” I warned her pushing it in harder, then letting go of her.
“wow” Stefan muttered staring at me.
“so what did the Martins say” I asked Stefan, as Katherine pulled the stake out of her chest.
“Elijah didn’t have a weapon to kill Klaus, but he believed if a witch could channel enough power that would be weapon enough” he shrugged.
“like a spot marked with the violent death of 100 witches” I mused and the brothers nodded at me.
“guess we are going to have to find this spot first” I smirked at Damon, knowing we already knew exactly where it was.
“Elena, Caroline and Bonnie are having a girl crisis party at Elena’s house. Bonnie needs you, she lost her powers, and Caroline is having Matt drama” Stefan told me, looking at his phone.
“I’ll just go get changed” I sighed.
Eventually I arrived at Elena’s house in my usual black denim shorts and a dark blue long sleeved top, with my black leather jacket and blue converses.
“I was summoned” I smiled as Elena opened the door.
“hey” Caroline hugged me.
“I’m here for the Matt and no powers drama” I joked as she let go of me.
“how about Rosa and Damon drama” Elena added.
“come again” I frowned. There was no drama between Damon and I, not that I could remember anyway.
“never mind” Elena sighed and I shrugged it off.
Turns out Jenna is having Ric problems too, they have gotten worse since the dinner party. Man I am going to kill John for this. They were perfectly happy until he stuck his nose into it just to get back his stupid ring. Ric gave him the ring and John has stopped with the nosiness, but he had already said enough to Jenna to make her question about his ‘dead’ wife Isobel.
“you know what we need... dancing” I suggested.
“there is a band at the Grill tonight” Caroline offered.
“perfect” I smiled.
“in” Elena nodded.
“in” Bonnie agreed.
“defiantly” Jenna grinned and my phone went off.
“Damon, what’s up” I answered walking out of the kitchen into the living room.
“we just had a witch attack, they tried to free Elijah” he muttered.
“you coming to the grill, there’s a live band” I asked.
“Rosa, witch attack, free Elijah” he sighed.
“Damon, the grill, live band” I repeated.
“is that...” he began.
“have you dealt with it” I asked him.
“yes” he replied slowly.
“then get your ass down to the grill along with Stefan and let’s have a normal night... no Katherine either” I muttered.
“fine, see you there in twenty minutes” he sighed and hung up.
“you invited Damon and Stefan” Caroline scoffed.
“it’s rude to eavesdrop Caroline” I scorned.
“let’s get going” Elena grabbed my hand and pulled me to the front door.
This was a really bad idea. Jenna has gone off to get drunk because she just saw Ric and Matt just blanked Caroline. Damon and Stefan came in and made their way over to us. Suddenly Elena was holding my arm and pulling me off to the bathroom, just as they reached where we were standing.
“Elena what are you doing” I sighed.
“something I should have done since the moment I met you” she told me.
“sounds ominous” I stared at her waiting for her to do what she should have done ages ago.
“why is it that everyone can see it except the two of you” she frowned.
“see what? two who?” I frowned.
“you and Damon” she whispered.
“just friends, what about it” I frowned.
“you love each other, a blind man could see it” she protested.
“no Elena I...” I couldn’t finish my sentence.
“you love him” she whispered.
“no” I muttered looking down.
“how long have you loved him?” she asked.
“I don’t know when my feelings changed, I can’t remember... but he doesn’t feel the same way” I shrugged.
“he does feel the same way, anyone can see it in his eyes when he looks at you. Why do you think he always kicked off at Tyler... Rosa, Damon was jealous of him, that Tyler had you and he didn’t” Elena smiled at me.
“you won’t tell him, will you” I begged.
“nope, you are going to” she whispered.
“I can’t Elena, he doesn’t feel the same” I protested.
“is it not better to try and fail than never try at all?” she asked.
“no, if I try and fail that's whatever we have gone because it will become too weird” I walked out of the bathroom and bumped into Caroline.
“how much did you hear” I asked as she hugged me.
“I will try with Matt, if you will try with Damon” she offered.
“I can’t” I muttered.
“you, big badass vamp-witch, you can do anything. What you mean is you are too scared” Caroline told me letting go.
“no I am not” I protested and marched up to the stage. If everyone was determined for me to tell Damon, then I was going to do it the best way I could.
“Rosa, what are you doing” Elena asked as I jumped up onto the stage.
“you are going to give me your guitar and leave the stage” I compelled the band. They handed me a guitar then left just as I told them to.
“hey everybody. This is the most non-drunk non-stoned, stupid, spontaneous, of my own free will, possibly romantic, thing I have ever done and will ever do” I warned the audience as my fingers started to play the strings on the guitar.
*I do not own this song, it is ‘I love you by Avril Lavigne’. I have changed a few of the lyrics to fit in better with the situation and Rosa has made this up on the spot*
*Damon POV*
What is she doing? I would get it if she just got up on the stage and sung, but romantic, why romantic. Why was she insisting that she was doing this for her and not for anyone else... Seriously Rosa, what are you up to.
lala, lalalala, lala, lalala
I like your smile
I like your vibe
I like your style
But that's not why I love you
And I, I like the way, you're such a star
But that's not why I love you, hey
Do you feel, do you feel me, do you feel what I feel too
Do you need, do you need me, do you need me-e-e
You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you, is you
Being you, just you
Yea the reason I love you
Is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you
lala, lalalala, lala, lalala
I like the way you misbehave
When we get wasted
But that's not why I love you
And how you keep your cool when I am complicated
But that's not why I love you, hey
Do you feel, do you feel me, do you feel what I feel too
Do you need, do you need me, do you need me-e-e
You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
And I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you, is you
Being you, just you
Yea the reason I love you
Is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you
Yeaaa
ohhhh, ohhhh
and now I really need to know
if you feel the same way too
yea-a-a
“Damon” Caroline whispered and I held my hand up trying to make her shush her mouth. I want to hear Rosa sing, everything she is singing about sounds like me. No that is just dreaming, and if it was about me then she only meant friend love, not love love.
“Damon” Caroline whispered again and I turned to look at her.
“what, I’m listening to Rosa” I snapped.
“it’s about you, you big idiot” she told me.
“of course it’s not, why would it be” I frowned.
“Damon she is right, it’s about you... she is telling you how she feels the only way she knows how” Elena backed Caroline up and I shook my head.
“Brother, she loves you, you are the only one that can’t see it” Stefan joined in and all four of them looked at me as I looked back at Rosa.
“trust us Damon” Bonnie begged, whispering in my ear.
You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you, is you
Being you, just you
Yea the reason I love you
Is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you
“for the love of all things holy. The two most confrontational people I know and neither of them can tell the other how they feel” Elena moaned and I looked back at her.
“he doesn’t believe us and now she is going to hate us for telling her he felt the same way” Caroline muttered.
“if I have to push you up there Damon I will, that song is about you and she is nearly finished and I will not let Rosa carry on thinking you don’t feel the same way about her” Stefan warned me.
“it’s not about me” I protested.
“so who is it about Damon, do tell us who else is around that she could possibly love” Elena sighed.
“she asked if you felt the same way too and she is about to finish” Caroline told me.
“guys it’s a lost cause, he doesn’t believe that Rosa has just poured her heart out” Bonnie muttered to the rest of them. Poured her heart out, Rosa did always best express herself through her spontaneous song writing.
la la, la la la la (oh ohhh)
la la, la la la la (that's why I love you)
la la, la la la la (oh ohhh)
la la, la la la la (that's why I love you)
She finished and turned around to put the guitar down. You know what I don’t care anymore. I hope it was about me and the four stooges are right, otherwise I am about to make a massive idiot out of myself. I jumped up onto the stage and wrapped my arms around her. She turned around and I kissed her before she had a chance to do anything else.
*Rosa POV*
As I finished, I turned around to put the guitar down. I felt a pair of arms wrap around me and I turned around in them. He pulled me closer and kissed me. The audience applauded louder and I could distinctively hear Elena, Caroline, Bonnie and Stefan shouting something like ‘about time’ and I smiled against Damon’s lips.
“does that answer your question” he muttered against my lips.
“I am not sure, I think we need to try again” I smirked and kissed him again.
Eventually we broke away, jumped off the stage and then he dragged me off somewhere.
“how long” I breathed as he pushed me up against a wall and kissed me.
“as long as I can remember, it just took me a while to realise it, you” he shrugged and started to kiss my neck.
“I don't know when my feeling changed” I sighed as he closed the small gab between us, pushing me against the wall harder.
“I think I get it now” he breathed as I kissed started to kiss his neck.
“what” I frowned resting my forehead against his.
“why you flipped out at Katherine today” he smiled.
“enlighten me” I whispered.
“because you looooooove me” he smirked dragging out ‘love’.
“and do you love me” I asked with a serious look.
“I protect your eternity with mine, how many people do I do that to” he answered looking into my eyes.
“it wasn’t a dream” I muttered as I got an image of him telling me he loved me after we saved Elena.
“what” he frowned.
“you told me you love me the night we saved Elena, the same day we met Rose, I thought it was a dream. You said you loved me then you kissed my cheek” I breathed looking at him.
“guilty” he smiled at me and I kissed his nose.
“back on founders day, I wasn’t going to tell you I trusted you, I was going to tell you I love you, I thought I we were dying so I needed you to know, but I blacked out before I could say it” I told him and he nodded.
“I love you Rosangela Rossi” he breathed in my ear and I shivered.
“I love you too Damon Salvatore” I whispered in his ear then he kissed me again.
This was possibly the best kiss we had ever had. It was similar to the founders day one and the historical society party, except there was no time delay as we both defiantly wanted it from the start. Damon’s hands ran down my sides and stopped at my butt, lifting me onto his hips.
“how’d you know I was singing about you” I breathed as he broke away from my lips to start on my neck again.
“four stooges nagged me” he breathed in my ear making me shiver and he chuckled then started to kiss me again.
“oh my god, sorry” Elena frowned. Damon and I both turned to look at her and although she was embarrassed about walking in on us, she was happy to see I was happy.
“sorry Elena” I chuckled as she walked back out.
Suddenly I jumped off Damon and pushed him away from me. He frowned as I started to pace.
“how exactly did you solve the problem you phoned me about” I asked him. He grabbed my arms to stop me pacing, guess it annoys him.
“flamethrower then called you, why” he frowned.
“you need to get to Elena now. You killed the Martin baby and now the papa is angry” I instructed and pushed him out of the bathroom.
“Katherine, you want to make up for trying to kill Damon” I asked her down the phone.
*
“hey, pick on a witch your own size” I called at papa Martin.
“Rosangela” he turned to face me and knocked Bonnie out.
“Bonnie” I ran over to her, and he walked past me.
“Bonnie, Bonnie wake up” I shook her and her eyes opened.
“we need to get out of here Rosa” Damon grabbed my arm and I pushed him off me.
“get Bonnie out, I will follow you” I told him and he nodded then walked off with her.
“Caroline” I screamed and ran over to her as she grabbed her head in pain.
“you chose the wrong people to mess with Martin” I snarled as I helped her to her feet.
“get away from them” Matt shouted and as I turned around I saw Martin stab Matt in the neck with a broken bottle.
“Matt no” Caroline sobbed and we both rushed over to him.
“Caroline, breathe ok, breathe normally” I muttered to her as her face wavered on changing. I put my hand over his neck and started to heal it. I noticed Martin walk out, but I focused on Matt and Caroline.
“will he live” she sobbed.
“all healed, blood gone, get him out of here” I told her removing my hand to show her there was nothing there.
“Rosa you ok” Damon hugged me as I walked out of the Grill.
“fine, we need to get to Elena’s now” I told him and we started to run in that direction.
*
Elena’s house. Inside I could hear Bonnie talking to Jeremy. She was upset, she felt totally useless tonight and hated it. I knew roughly what she was going through because I lost my witch half while Stefan locked Damon up, it is crap.
“Rosa” Bonnie cried and held on to me as I stroked her back.
“we will get them back for you, I promise” I soothed and then Elena and Stefan walked in.
“when did you guys get home” Stefan asked as Elena went straight upstairs.
“few minutes ago” Jeremy answered.
“did you check the house” Stefan questioned and Jeremy’s blank face told me all I needed to know.
“Elena” I screamed and ran up to the bathroom, followed by Damon, Stefan, Jeremy and Bonnie.
“you’re welcome” Katherine smirked at me and I nodded looking at papa Martin’s dead body. She agreed to help us with this because of me, because she was being honest when she said she cared about me; creepy Katherine actually caring about someone, but hey ho.
“you didn’t have to kill him” Bonnie scorned Katherine.
“yes we did” Katherine shrugged still smiling at me.
“she is one scary bitch when she smiles and acts like she cares” Damon breathed in my ear and I chuckled slightly as Katherine glared at him. She saw my own protective glare and looked away from him. That’s right bitch, Damon is mine, you try and hurt him again and I will kill you.
Bonnie moved to close Martin witches eyes and he grabbed her head. She started to scream so I lunged forward snapping his neck and Katherine put her foot on his neck to make sure he was dead this time.
*
“how did you manage to convince her to do it” Elena asked hugging me after she returned from hiding out in the boarding house with Rick.
“the bitch owed me for trying to have Damon killed” I shrugged letting go of her.
“wait, she did all that for you” she frowned.
“if you are going to believe anything that comes out of my mouth believe this; I do not want you dead Elena, we need you to get Klaus here, otherwise I do not give a damn about you” Katherine told us as she handed back Elena’s vervain necklace.
“that’s not the only reason though, is it Katherine” Damon stared at her.
“Ok so I did it for Rosa too because she is the only one around here with the guts to kill me and I like staying alive” she shrugged.
“as alive as an evil dead bitch can be” Damon whispered in my ear and I smirked.
“we need to get Katherine out now, Jenna will be here in two minutes” I muttered and everyone nodded at me.
*back to diary*
Words cannot describe how happy...
There was a shift on my bed and I looked up from my diary.
“so...” the person who had created the shift on my bed whispered.
“so...” I smirked at them.
“I suppose this makes you my girlfriend rather than girl friend” Damon smiled at me.
“that was the worse way I have ever been asked out in my entire existence” I chuckled at him and he hit me with a pillow.
“Rosangela Rossi, will you be my girlfriend” he lifted my hand and kissed it then looked at me for an answer.
“I’m not sure if I am ready for a serious relationship again after Tyler” I shrugged and he looked down. Bless he actually looks upset.
“so it is a good thing I know that's not what I am going to get when I say Damon Salvatore will you be my boyfriend” I smirked at him and he looked up. At first he glared at me because I tricked him, then he smiled and pounced on me.
“your an evil cow” he breathed in my ear.
“and you’re a heartless psychopath” I shrugged.
“you say the sweetest things” he cooed then kissed me.
“I know” I chuckled then carried on kissing him.
