I'm not good at writing about good things. It's not because they're not happening in my life, but I just can't express my beautiful scenarios of the world. Maybe because the world isn't beautiful with humans in it. I guess that's why almost everyone goes to hell. They deserve it.
My dear, friend, welcome to hell! Here you will find everything you need: lust for your body, suffering for your soul, broken hearts (enjoy that you're also allowed to break other hearts), mind numbing, and a lot of opportunities lost. Even though there are a few disadvantages, I'm sure you'll like it here very much. You know what makes me so sure? The hatred in your heart. You can't deny it. You can't deny your desire to make right in your life, even if that means stepping on other people.
Here, in this "paradise" no one condemns you. You are free! Finally free! What are you waiting for? Enjoy the dust you were made of! But wait! That's not everything. You also get to have wings. You can be beautiful, you can sleep all you want, you can have everything you desire. You just have to do a little thing for someone. You need to understand the devil, as he understands you when you're crying, when you're laughing. He knows your deepest secrets. It's time to know his. Yeah, I guess this is the hardest part, but will you fight?
You're still saying it's not worth fighting for? Then what is it worth? Who do you want to be? Yourself or somebody else? Do you want to have power or you want to be a nobody? You have to make a difference. But you can't, because you're just like everyone else: mean. And if you're still good, you won't be for long. Say I'm wrong. Say it with all your heart.
... I still can't hear you.
... Not even now.
... Guess what? You've been accepted to hell! Go on and celebrate!
Even if you don’t believe it, the journey of our favorite “almost couple” didn’t had any hot scenes, because Elena kept her head on the ground and as they were closing to Bridgeport she kept thinking about Stefan and only Stefan.
“Have you thought what are you going to tell him when we get there?” Damon asked.
“Yes. I want to know how things stand.”
“And how do you think they stand, Elena?”
“I don’t know. That’s why we’re finding him. I need answers.”
“You said you need me.”
“You know Damon what I meant then.”
“I don’t know. Tell me, Elena, what did you mean?”
“I meant that you’re my friend and that I really needed you on this journey and I’m grateful, Damon, for what you did for me.”
“What I did? I killed Jeremy, I killed Vicky, I hurt Bonnie in the past. What I did for you, Elena?”
“You sacrificed yourself for me. Like a few days ago… like when I and…”
“Stefan are together?” Damon continued. “Why do you believe I should sacrifice myself then when you have Stefan by your side?”
“Damon, you know what I mean. This journey must be hard for you.”
“Actually I’m enjoying it. After all, I am alone with you.” He smiled one of his killer smiles.
After a while he had to stop the car. In front of them was a figure. Elena didn’t even think about it. She came out of the car without thinking and she hugged the man. Damon was shouting that she should be careful, but he knew too. They knew the man who appeared from nowhere was Stefan.
“Stefan, my love! I’ve missed you so much!” Elena cried.
He remained still, he didn’t hugged her back, he just stared in front. He stared at the car, or who knows if he actually was seeing something.
“Stefan? Talk to me, Stefan!”
“You and Damon should head back to Mystic Falls. You have nothing to do here, for the moment.” Stefan said harshly.
“And why we should do that?” Damon asked before Elena could say something.
“Because these lands are dangerous.”
“And you’ll let Elena get hurt?”
“Never! That’s why I’m telling you to leave. Now everything’s changed.”
“Stefan, why don’t you look at me?” Elena asked through the tears.
He just smiled and looked at Damon and made a sign with his hand that Damon should leave with Elena.
“Do you trust me little brother?”
“With what?”
“To be alone with her? You know, if you’re out of the picture I might actually do things.”
“Do whatever you want.” Stefan said. “But don’t touch Elena!”
“So you still care. Why don’t you return?”
“Damon, things got complicated. You should be happy. We don’t owe each other anything anymore.”
“C’mon Stefan. We’re not talking about us. We’re talking about Elena, here. Don’t you have anything to say about it?”
“No.” Stefan said calmly.
“Stefan what’s happening? You know you can trust me.” Elena said.
“Not much. I’m bad now as you can see. Oh, and I enjoy it.”
“Have you killed anyone?”
“Yes, Elena. I have. What’s that look on your face, Damon? Didn’t you wanted me to come to the dark side? Now, we’re brothers. You can be proud.”
“Elena, I think we should go.” Damon said.
“I’m not going anywhere! Can’t you see what they’ve done to him?”
“I think they done a beautiful job. Now I can embrace my nature. Finally.”
“Stefan, you talk like the old Damon, just a little exaggerated. We know it’s not you who’s talking.”
“Then who is it? Me?” Klaus asked coming from behind Stefan.
“You could’ve compelled him.” Damon said.
“And where would all the fun remain?” Klaus laughed. “Think whatever you want, but Stefan is free like a bird.”
“In a cage?” Damon challenged him.
“That’s why you end up dying, Damon. Even if you’re his older brother, Stefan is smarter than you. He doesn’t say stupid things that are crossing his mind.”
“I want to find Stefan and the only thing that I’m asking of you is to trust me.”
“No, Elena. I’m glad we’ve found you and either you’re going home with us, either you’ll take me with you.” Bonnie demanded.
“Or me.” Said Caroline and then smiled at Bonnie.
“No. You’re a vampire too Caroline, and sometimes you can be on Damon’s side.”
“Oh, come on, Bonnie.”
“I’m going alone with Damon. And that’s my last decision.” Elena said.
“I don’t agree with it and you know why. You can trust Damon that much. You saw what happened today.”
“Bonnie, I need to be on my own. What happened today it’s not going to happen again and if it does we’ll be prepared and we’ll find a way to escape.”
“Ok, if you’re so sure. But at least let us accompany you until the next city and if nothing happens we’ll go home.” Bonnie said.
“Ok, Bonnie. Thank you!” Elena hugged her and Caroline.
Back in Mystic Falls Jeremy was at the local bar. He was meeting with Tyler.
“Anna?” She was in front of him. “Are you for real?”
“You loved her!” Anna was pointing behind Jeremy to Vicky.
“Vicky?” He asked.
“You wanted me to die. You loved her more!”
“No, Anna, you know that’s not true. I wanted to work things out between us. And I never wanted you to die.”
“Yeah, sure!”
Anna pushed him and he fell to the ground. He wanted to ask them something but then the girls disappeared.
“Jeremy, are you ok?” Tyler asked. “Did you eat something?”
“Yeah, I’m fine. I have a headache. Nothing more.”
“It looked to me like you were talking to someone.”
“No. I was just complaining that my head hurts. That’s all.”
“If you say so.”
Jeremy turned back to see if Vicky and Anna were still there and he could see that the girls were at the door and they were watching him with angry looks. He felt a chill going down his spine.
“What are you looking at?” Tyler asked.
“Nothing. Let’s go to the table.”
Back to where Damon, Elena, Bonnie and Caroline were, they got closer to Stefan. They were in the next town called Kernville and it was time for Bonnie and Caroline to leave. Thy have to go back home and let Elena and Damon travel alone again.
“I don’t want to just leave you here.” Bonnie cried.
“Don’t worry. Bonnie, I’ll be fine.” Elena said to her.
“She’s in my care now.” Damon told them.
“You better take care of her.” Caroline looked straight to Damon.
“Don’t worry. Nothing bad is going to happen.”
“Yeah, I’m sure of that.” Bonnie said.
“Please, Bonnie, Caroline, just have a little trust in him.”
“Fine.” Bonnie said and then she and Caroline left for Mystic Falls.
“Now were alone again.”
“Damon don’t act like something’s changed.”
“But of course everything changes.”
“And why is that?” Elena asked.
“Because we are alone.”
“Damon, what are you planning?”
He smiled a short killer smile and got closer to her so that he can see every detail of her face.
“I know you love danger, Elena.” He said.
“I love Stefan.”
“And danger too. My middle name is <<danger>>.”
“Damon, please stop with it.”
“No, I won’t because in your heart you know you want me.”
“That’s a serious accusation to make.”
“I already made it. What are you going to do about it, Elena?”
“Damon, it’s my life.”
“And you chose to live it with me for a while. Tell me the truth, why did you wanted to travel alone with me, Elena? Tell me why.”
“Because… I need you.”
“You need me for what?”
“Damon…”
“Is it that I have entered somehow in your heart?”
“You are always in my heart. I need you because you’re my friend, Damon.”
“That’s bullshit! Lie to yourself Elena, but you can’t lie to me anymore. Lie to Stefan, lie to whoever you want!”
“Damon, please. You know I don’t love you more than a friend.”
“Oh, I think you do.”
He approached his face to hers. His lips were 4 centimeters away from hers.
“Push me away now, Elena. Do it. Prove me wrong.”
But Elena didn’t push him away. Instead she gave him a kiss on the cheek and then she said.
“It’s time to leave. We have to continue our journey.”
Damon knew that she avoided Stefan’s name purposely.
“Why?”
“What Damon?”
“Why didn’t you say his name?”
“What?”
“Forget it, Elena. Forget it.”
If Stefan was bad now maybe he didn’t deserve Elena either. Maybe Damon deserved her more than his brother did. Maybe now was his chance. But he’ll go easy, he’ll go slowly. “I don’t want her to suffer.” He told himself. But that was inevitable anyway. If that’s the case, then he’ll be her shield, her warrior, her hope, her tear, her everything.
So here we have another part from Chapter 2. Enjoy!
“Never!” Elena screamed.
“Oh, look Kale, a sweetheart.” The first vampire said to his friend.
“I can see her Nick. Maybe we should taste her.”
“Don’t you dare going near her!” Damon shouted.
“And what are you going to do about that?” Kale said.
“Anything.”
“He loves her. Klaus told us but I didn’t believe it.” Nick said.
“Yeah, me neither. Well let’s taste the blood of the famous Elena Gilbert.” Kale looked at her white skin, then saw her brown eyes filled with anger and tears.
“Don’t cry, sweetheart. Everything is going to be ok.” Nick said in a low voice.
“You bastards!” Damon shouted. He used his powers and could manage to free his left hand from the chains.
“Idiot.” Kale said through his teeth. “Let’s hold him. Maybe we could torture him first. I think he asks desperately for it.”
“Yeah, Kale, you’re right. Let’s see how much he can endure.”
Both vampires tried to tie Damon again and they succeeded. They took a bottle full with blood and vervain. They forced him to drink it and Damon’s didn’t make a sound. Elena was screaming to let him alone, but who could listen to her? Damon succeeded in making them angry and they wanted him to pay. After he’d been weakened they made little cuts into him with a knife. They were superficial, but increasing in number they became unbearable. Damon couldn’t sustain himself and gave a terrible scream when they spilled on his wounds hot water filled with vervain. Elena was pleading now to stop hurting him. She was crying and that was the only thing that kept Damon going. He watched her tears. Those tears were for him and no pain could take that euphoria that Elena’s crying for Damon from his mind. He might sounded crazy if he ever told this anyone but he knew this was the only reason to keep him sane. He looked deep in her eyes as Kale and Nick were torturing him and he almost smiled for a second when he saw that Elena was trying to send him a message but he couldn’t understand anything. He was almost in agony and wouldn’t last long conscious. But he didn’t care, no because his angel was crying for him. And that was enough. Enough for a lifetime, enough for every trial that may come in the future. After a moment he realized that he couldn’t see anymore. Maybe he already lost his conscious. What did it matter? Oh, but, no, there was something important that he’d forgotten.
“Maybe we exaggerated a little?” Nick said in a comic voice.
“Yeah, looks like we did. But we’ll wait until he wakes up and we’ll torture his girlfriend.” Kale responded.
“No, Kale. She’s Stefan’s girlfriend.”
“Whatever. I don’t care.”
Then Damon remembered. He had to protect Elena. He opened his eyes.”
“Elena? Are you ok?”
She couldn’t say anything because tears were still flowing from her eyes. The vampires burst into laughter.
“Oh, can you see? He’s aware of her condition.” Nick said.
“Let’s make it worse.” Kale smiled.
But then both of them fell to the ground and they heads were spinning in pain. Bonnie came from Damon’s back along with Caroline. The witch untied Elena, while Caroline untied Damon.
“Bonnie… thank you.” Elena said in a hurry and then headed to Damon.
“Elena, don’t go near him! He could be dangerous!” Bonnie shouted.
“I don’t care. Don’t you see how much did he endure for me? He provoked those guys. He suffered so I can be ok.” Elena was still crying and got close to Damon’s ear. “Do you want my blood?” She offered.
“No! Get out of here. Just let Caroline take me to the hotel room. Bonnie get her out of here.”
“Of course.” Bonnie smiled.
“No, Damon, please! You need blood. Damon!”
“Elena, don’t worry, ok? I have some blood in my car. From the hospital. I figured he’ll need some anyway.” Caroline said.
After a few hours, when Damon had healed Elena and Bonnie returned to the hotel room.
“We didn’t have a chance to talk. Why did you take her to find Stefan?” Bonnie asked.
“Because I wanted to.” Damon smiled one of his killer smiles.
“I asked him to drive me. I asked him to go alone without you or Caroline, or anyone else.” Elena said looking down.
“Elena don’t try to protect him.” Caroline said.
“It’s the truth. Damon asked me to take one of you, guys, but I wanted to go alone.”
“But, Elena, why did you lie to me when I did the localization spell?”
“I didn’t want to drag you into this. And anyway I thought that you’d be needed in Mystic Falls more, than with me, if I was gone for a longer time.”
“Why did Damon lie when we first asked about this?” Caroline said.
“Oh, don’t talk like I’m not here. I told you what you wanted to hear.” Damon said.
“Just shut up!” Bonnie said harshly.
“Ouch. That hurt.” Damon smiled ironically.
“What are you going to do now, Elena?” Her vampire friend asked.
“I’ll keep going with our journey. I mean mine and Damon’s.”
“But, Elena, you can’t travel alone with this jerk.” Bonnie said.
Today it rained a lot. Rain reminds me of sad days. The sky was so dark, unclear and the wind whispering rain drops felt like it was almost hitting me. And I wanted to stay outside in the wet weather and feel the cold water. But I didn't do it. I always liked rain and at the same time I hated it. Strange feelings came in my mind.
I am wandering in this world now, and it's only me. Yes, I'm the only person left of this planet! Have you ever thought of that? Never crossed my mind, just hundreds of times! What I would do first? I would try to contact anyone. See if that's actually true. I'll open my computer and I will log on in every possible site that I know of and try to find someone. If I don't get an answer, I'll run in the streets and scream "Can anybody hear me?". But nobody will hear me after all. Then, I'll go to friends' houses, and see if they are there, but of course, they won't be.
Am I going insane? No, I'm just alone. I can do whatever I want. I can visit every country. I can own thousand cars, houses, hotels, cities, everything now is mine. I can even eat free whatever and whenever I want. Isn't now boring? No, not at all. But I'm still thinking about finding someone else. But what if I won't like that "someone"? Maybe for the moment, it's better not to find anyone at all.
I keep wandering the streets, eating ice-cream, running free and I am heading to the pet-shop! How come I didn't think of this before? I want a dog to accompany me in this journey. I don't want to be alone!
P.S. Did you ever think of being the last person in this world? Wouldn't it be fun? At least until you get insane :)
