my heart can't possibly break when it wasn't even whole to start with [for Damon]

Oct 12, 2012 21:26

"You are not my family. You are not my sister. You are nothing."

The haunting words, the cruel dismissal, followed Rebekah back from the darkness where she had lingered with the hopes of never waking up. How was she supposed to face the world now? She had no one and nothing. She had spent her entire life at Nik's side, loving and hating him ( Read more... )

Coming back to the mansion was the last thing Damon wanted to do as the night started creeping toward its end. Stefan had taken Elena back home, and he...well. He couldn't really go to the Grill. And he didn't want to face the sofa in front of the fireplace with a glass of bourbon without Ric there.

He could still feel him, going. Could see as final death took any vestige of hope for his friend away. Made the connection. Knew the girl he'd loved so very much--who had just rejected him--was gone.

Knew, too, that she remembered, all of it. And somehow Stefan letting her die was what she thought better than him saving her. They hadn't made any difference, all those things she remembered now.

Still, the Mikaelson mansion was the last place he needed to be. Stefan had told him what Rebekah had done--how she'd helped, in the end, to get Elena the blood Stefan wouldn't let her have earlier. Death and life, both, then, and if part of him still wanted to kill her, to kill Matt, to kill Stefan...anything that would give Elena back the life stolen from her...

He wouldn't. He didn't know what he would do, but he let himself into the mansion anyway, without knocking. Tense, angry, with the taste of Matt's blood on his lips.

But no stake, at least.

And he would find her sitting exactly where Nik had left her though she was sitting there with her legs crossed now, seemingly waiting for something or someone while the blood continued to dry around her. The two destroyed blood bags would most likely give him an idea of whose blood it was too.

Not that she seemed to care as she looked up at him with an opaque gaze.

"Came to finish what you started?" She asked in what seemed to be a bored tone but there was something underneath, a sort of hope that maybe that's exactly what he was doing at the moment.

Elena's blood was familiar enough to him to recognize the scent immediately, and his gaze swept the room, taking in the broken bags, the spilled blood, the look on her face.

The note in her voice that he actually didn't like much at all.

"Not tonight," he said, making himself sound just as bored. "You know, it usually works better if you drink the blood, not pour it all over the floor."

itconsumesher October 13 2012, 04:20:49 UTC

She rolled her eyes slightly before looking at the blood on the floor. "I wasn't drinking it. I was destroying it."

Then she looked up at him. "You should know, Nik is alive." She still didn't move from her spot on the floor. "He was in Tyler's body."

"He saved Caroline over me." She made a strange bitter noise that sounded almost like a laugh as she looked down and away from him again.

That was not at all what he was expecting to hear, and the shock showed plainly for a moment.

"Like he did to Alaric. That's why we're not dead," he said, more statement than question, but confusion still flickered. "Was? He isn't in Tyler anymore?"

Really, he could only be so concerned for Caroline right now. He'd just made a grand statement about his selfishness. But he did spare Rebekah a grimace, knowing how much that had to hurt. He and Stefan had been there.

"Your brother sucks."

itconsumesher October 14 2012, 01:37:30 UTC

"Yeah." She let out a hoarse laugh though there was no amusement there and then she shook her head. "No, he's back in his body."

She looked up at him before shaking her head. "He's not my brother anymore. He told me I was nothing." She closed her eyes as she tried to swallow past the pain that clogged her throat.

"I bet that makes you happy, doesn't it? You must think I've just gotten what I deserved." She replied bitterly, looking at him again.

He wanted to say something harsh, to take out his hurt, his anger, on her. Sympathy had been pretty low lately, but somehow he couldn't muster the harsh words.

"No," he said quietly. "No one deserves to have someone they love say something like that to them." He frowned a little, watching her.

itconsumesher October 14 2012, 02:05:21 UTC

Surprise flickered across her features at his words and for a moment she was struck by them but she quickly snapped herself out of it. She had wanted to believe him before and it had only succeeded in making her look like a fool.

"Why are you here?" She asked, still not moving from her spot on the floor. "I thought you wanted me dead. Have you come back to finish the job?"

prodigalsavior October 14 2012, 02:19:10 UTC

Damon just kept watching her for a long moment, before he shrugged out of his jacket and did a bit of a turn, to show that the stake wasn't anywhere on him. He stopped, watching her again. "No." He frowned a little. "But...I don't know." Why he was here.

After a moment, he sighed and dropped down to sit on the floor. "I didn't want to go home."

itconsumesher October 14 2012, 02:27:25 UTC

Rebekah opened her mouth and then closed it before she finally got off of her feet with a sigh, straightening her clothes a little. "I'd offer to let you stay but I don't have a home anymore and...well, I'm sure you don't blame me." Considering how they had ended their very brief...whatever it was.

prodigalsavior October 15 2012, 01:40:36 UTC

He shook his head a little. "I wasn't angling for an invitation." He considered. "I heard what you did to get Elena blood."

itconsumesher October 15 2012, 01:57:42 UTC

"Good, because you wouldn't get one." She said almost defensively before pursing her lips and looking away. "Well, i thought it'd be more fun to let her die but..." She shrugged a bit. "It must have been a moment of insanity."

She didn't want to admit that watching Stefan and Elena had touched something inside of her. Reminded her things she hadn't felt for a long time.

prodigalsavior October 15 2012, 02:12:43 UTC

"Clearly," he said dryly. He wasn't going to thank her, couldn't after everything. But he hadn't brought the stake.

"I figured Stefan would let her die, the way he was going," he said, vaguely dry.

itconsumesher October 15 2012, 02:32:54 UTC

"Well, he was the one who actually killed the guy. I just pushed him into the right place." She commented before sighing and rolling her eyes. "But did you really come here to talk to me about Elena?"

prodigalsavior October 15 2012, 03:03:13 UTC

"No," Damon admitted, a little perversely pleased Stefan had killed someone, not in Ripper mode. All Damon had planned to do was get her a blood bag. Still, he couldn't help wondering if they'd listen to him now.

Probably not.

"I thought I'd just..." God, why had he come after earlier? It wasn't like they'd ever been friends, truly. Honestly, they'd never had a genuine chance, antagonists from the start. "See if you were okay."

itconsumesher October 15 2012, 03:16:21 UTC

No, they hadn't but sometimes she wondered what would have happened if they'd been given a chance. If they hadn't been on opposite sides right from the beginning. Would they have gotten along better?

They were a lot alike after all.

"Really?" She turned back to him with a look of surprise. "Why?"
