Chapter 5 Shattered

A/N: The secondo part to chapter 4! I hope te all enjoy!

Katherine slowly bent down to Elena's dead body, examining her broken neck before standing up and facing Damon. "She's dead."

Damon detto nothing as he stared down at Elena's body. He could feel tears prickling at the end of his eyes but held them back. "I know." he whispered, his humanity shutting down. Katherine watched his eyes grow cold as he stormed back into the boarding house, slamming the door behind him.

She sighed and pulled her phone out, calling the one person who knew what to do with Damon when he was in this state.

Damon drowned bottle after bottle of burning alcohol, its burning flames licking his throat as it fell down his trachea. His eyes glowed like black coals, the burning hate smoldering. He looked down at his shaking hands. He wanted to rip something apart; he wanted to kill something to give him some sort of a relief. "When I find that witch, she is DEAD!" Damon screamed as the tumbler went flying into the wall, smashing into tiny shards. They were a perfect picture of what his cuore looked like, shattered. Damon tried to gain control of his emotions that were quickly spiraling out of control. He hated feeling so helpless. He wanted to go after Rose and rip her cuore apart. He wanted to destroy her and make sure there was no trace of her body left.

The opening of a door caused Damon to turn and face the worried expression of his brother. "Damon," he began but was quickly cut off.

"What were te gonna say Stefan huh? That everything is gonna be ok?" Damon yelled, pacing back and forth, his anger drastically increasing. "My wife is DEAD and my daughter is god-knows-where with that no good vampire that needs to burn in the depths of hell!" He slammed his fist into a wall, pretending that was Rose's face.

Stefan stood up and put his arm around his brother who shrugged it off abruptly. "Bonnie may know a spell to bring Elena back, but we need to hurry and get to Bonnie's."

Damon nodded sharply, running inhumanly outside and picked up Elena's body, cradling her carefully in his arms. He kissed her forehead softly before returning to Stefan who was already out the front door. He looked down at Elena's body, sadness pooling in his eyes. "Don't worry, we'll find Rose and then we'll kill her."

"Then lets not waste anymore time." Damon snapped as he and Stefan ran at vampire speed through the woods.

Sharp knocking on Bonnie's door alerted her as she went to the door and opened it, revealing Stefan and a very livid Damon holding Elena's lifeless body in his arms. Bonnie gasped. "What happened to her?"

"A vampire came and killed her and kidnapped Delena." Damon replied quickly. "Will te be able to heal her?"

"How long has she been dead?" Bonnie asked slowly, her eyes getting misty.

"About 20 minuti o so. Are te able to save her?"

Bonnie looked into Damon's angered eyes, seeing the worry, love, and heartache he was feeling. "Come in." Bonnie took Elena's body from Damon and quickly walked over to the couch, laying her gently down. "We have to work fast. There's only so much time we have until she is completely gone and cannot be brought da magic."

Damon sat in a square chair while Stefan leaned against the wall, his green eyes smoldering with sadness. Bonnie got out her spellbook and quickly flipped the pages for a spell. Finally, she found one and let out a huge sigh. Damon looked up as Bonnie began to recite a spell in an unknown language. Lights flickered on and off and unnatural wind blew in, causing the pages to dancing wildly on its old and crinkling binds. Abruptly, it stopped and the lighting returned to normal. Bonnie opened her eyes, breathing heavily. Perspiration ran down her face and her hands shook mildly. "It's done." she breathed out, watching with wide eyes as Damon was immediately da Elena's side, watching for any signs that she may be alive.

Slowly, Elena forced her boulder-like lids to open. Her brows fluttered as she started to open her eyes wider and wider until she was staring into a pool of running water, running downwards and dripping onto her rosy cheeks. "Da-Damon?"

Her voice was weak and raspy but that was all Damon needed. He slowly wrapped his arms around hurt body and embraced her into a bone crushing hug. Elena gasped as she returned the hug, feeling tears of her own spring up and ooze out. "Damon, I-I-"

"Shhh..." Damon hushed her as he ran his fingers through her silky brown hair. "It's ok."

"Delena-"

"I know I know." Damon replied, his eyes darkening, red circles appearing around his eyes. "I'll find her and when I do I will rip Rose apart."

Elena nodded, slowly getting up and walking towards Bonnie, embracing her into a hug. "Thank te so much."

Bonnie returned the hug, feeling relieved Elena was alive. "I'm so happy that the spell worked. But there's something that te should know."

"What is it?" Damon asked with both concern and anger laced in his voice.

"if anything were to happen to Elena I may not be able to bring her back. That spell used nearly all my power-" Bonnie gasped as her eyes went wide and her body was soon falling to the floor. Stefan quickly caught her and laid her gently on the divano where Elena had been. "Damon, get her some water now!" Damon disappeared for only a few secondi and came back with a glass of water, setting it on the table. Stefan lightly shook Bonnie, waking her. Her eyes flew open and she sat up quickly, taking the glass of water and drinking it lightly.

"Sorry guys."

Elena smiled. "Don't worry. It was nothing."

Damon crossed his arms and headed for the door. "Thanks witch. Now that we have that issue resolved, let's go."

Elena ran and frantically grabbed Damon's arm, holding it tightly. "Damon, we have no idea where Rose is and how powerful she is! te could get hurt o worse!"

Damon took Elena's face in his hands, holding them tightly. "I don't care Elena. She's my daughter and I be damned if anything were to happen to her! I honestly can't think of a better way to die. If I have to give up my life just to save hers then I'll do it."

Tears gathered in Elena's eyes as she listened to Damon's moving speech. She had never heard him talk like that, ever. He really had changed. "I feel the exact same way." Elena choked back the lump in her throat, fighting the urge to weep in Damon's arms.

"I know." Damon turned to his brother who was standing over Bonnie, watching her intensely. "Stay here with Bonnie. Make sure nothing happens to her."

Stefan nodded. "Don't worry, I won't leave her sight."

Damon nodded, looking down at Elena with blue coals of fuoco burning brightly within them. Elena took Damon's hand protectively and intertwined them with hers. "Bring her back."

Damon kissed Elena's hand softly while keeping it locked in his iron grip. "If I have to rip this town apart until the sky is painted red then I will do it."

"I know te will." Elena turned to Stefan, mouthing him a quick 'thank you' before disappearing with Damon.

The trees and dirt were all a blur to Elena. The only think her mind was on was saving Delena. Nothing else mattered. Damon sighed as they came to a stop infront of Elena's house, finally letting go of her. He looked into her pools of Cioccolato eyes, his smoldering blue ones never leaving hers. "I promise I'll get her back."

Elena kissed him lightly on the lips, pulling away with tears in her eyes. "I know te will."

Damon took one last look at Elena before disappearing into the woods.

Rose paced around the couch, watching the sleeping child intently. Delena slept soundly, her small chest rising up and down. Rose let out a loud sigh as she tapped her foot. "Where the hell is he?"

Delena lightly stirred in her sleep, alerting Rose. Rose walked over to her and watched her as her sapphire eyes opened. She looked around groggily. "Momma?"

Rose crackled. "Your mother isn't here. Neither is your daddy. It's just te and me until the person I'm waiting for shows up."

Delena looked up at her curiously. "You took me from Momma?"

Rose laughed again at the child's ignorance. "Yes I did te idiot. What did te think I did?"

"I wanna go home." she whimpered slightly, earning a glare from Rose.

"You are not going anywhere. A friend of mine needs te so I'm keeping te here until he comes. Now be a good girl and try not to get into anything."

Delena's eyes filled with tears that threatened to spill. "But I wanna-"

"Shut up!" Rose snapped, glaring menacingly. "You can only talk when I tell te to!"

Delena let out a sob as she burst into tears, causing Rose to become even less patient with her. "I detto SHUT UP!" A loud slap was heard as Delena was sent flying into the basin wall, landing into a crumpled heap on the floor. "Much better." Rose smirked as she walked off.

Damon tore through the leaves and albero branches as he neared the destination of the house. Stefan managed to track Delena with the help of Bonnie and now Damon knew where she was and what he was going to do. Make sure Delena was okay, and then rip Rose to shreds. He'll make her death a gruesome one.

The endless barrage of leaves came to an end as a blinding light shone in Damon's eye. His eyes narrowed at the old house infront of him. It looked like to have been there for years. Chipped paint, ripped hinges hanging from scratched windows, and a beat up old door made up the exterior of the house. Damon didn't want to think what was inside.

Just as he was about to make his move, a harsh wind blew past him. He growled, realizing that he wasn't alone. There was someone else going to that house and he was going to find out who.

A sharp knock at the door startled Rose out of her light slumber. "That's him." She quickly made her way to the door and opened it.

"Hello Rose." The male voice greeted her with a smile on his sinister face. He wore black clothes that hugged his body tighter and sunglasses dangled from his face, revealing his black night eyes.

"Klaus, so nice to see you. Please come in." Rose stepped aside and Klaus chuckled.

"You know better then anyone that an invite is not necessary. I am not bound da certain rules that other Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. are. I can enter a house whether a human lives in it o not without an invite."

"You're right. My apologizes Sir Klaus."

He nodded. "Do te have Katerina Petrova?"

Rose shook her head, leading him into the living room. "Nope, but I have the successivo best thing. Her ancestor's daughter."

Klaus cocked his head to the side in confusion. "I thought the line ended with her?"

"That's what Elijah thought too. But apparently it didn't." Rose reached down and picked up Delena who was still knocked out cold. Klaus studied her facial features in fascination.

"Amazing." he breathed, taking the child from her. "She looks just like her."

"Well, her ancestor Elena was her Dopplerganger so I wouldn't be surprised."

Klaus raised an eyebrow. "Was?"

"I killed her." Rose replied simply,

Klaus nodded, standing up. "Well, where is your vampire pet Trevor?"

Rose's eyes saddened at that memory but quickly became stoic again. "He's dead."

Klaus nodded, turning around and heading for the door. Rose followed him eagerly. "So am I done?"

"Yes Rose. te are done. I hope te learned something from this lesson. Never help that betraying wrench ever again."

Rose bowed her head respectfully. "Don't worry sir. I will never do anything that would bring us to the about of extinction."

"Good, let's hope not." Klaus reached for the door knob and just as he was about to open it, an animal like growl came from behind him.

"You're a fool to think te are getting out of here alive."

Rose shook her head, motioning for Klaus to leave. "I'll take care of him. Just get out of here."

Klaus nodded, disappearing into thin air.

"NO!" Damon let out an enraged battle cry as he flew at Rose, knocking her backwards. Rose regained her footing as she grabbed Damon da his hair, throwing him into the opposite wall. Damon quickly got up and grabbed Rose's arm, twisting it back until he heard the satisfying snap. Rose growled as she retracted her arm and punched Damon square in the face, knocking him back a few feet. Damon snarled as he grabbed a piece of wood and tried to marmellata it into Rose's chest. She maneuvered out of the way and in one veloce, swift movement had Damon pinned against the wall. "You're too late Damon. She's gone."

"Shut the hell up!" Damon exclaimed as he threw Rose into the opposite bacheca and picked up the stake. Rose smirked as he got closer and closer until her arm shot out and ripped the stake from his hands.

"Now," Rose began, grabbing Damon's wrists and pinning them up against the wall, "you're going to baciare me."

Damon growled, his eyes bloodshot and fangs bared. "Not even in hell would I do that!"

Rose giggle to herself as her pupils widened. "I don't think te have a choice."

Damon stared straight at her with a blank stare in his eyes, slowly moving his head forward. "I don't have a choice."

"Good boy." Rose purred mischievously as she attacked his lips with sweet kisses. Damon moaned as he deepened the kiss, holding Rose's head as he slammed her against the wall. Rose smirked as she tried to pull away but Damon kept a tight grip on her body. "Wow, even when you're not under compulsion you're still wanting me."

Damon looked into her eyes, an evil glint shimmering in the ocean blue depths. "I'm going to fuck te so bad you'll be begging for me to kill you. Then I'm going to drive a stake right through your cuore and successivo I'm going to do the same with Klaus."

"You're so cute." Rose giggled flirtatiously, unbuttoning Damon's camicia and throwing it to the floor. "You honestly think that te can kill him. te can never kill Klaus. No one can."

"That's what te think." Damon replied, ripping Rose's camicia off and tugging her pants down. Rose casually slid out of them while grinding against Damon seductively. "I'll rip him apart so bad..." His sentence was cut off da a loud moan escaping his lips. Rose smiled cat like as she pushed her entrance towards Damon's hardened member that was protruding from his pants. Damon quickly discarded his pants to the floor and his boxers, feeling the rush of air hit his lower body region. He smirked as he held Rose still and slammed into her viscously, causing loud screams to produce from her mouth. He moaned, ramming harder and faster. He could feel Rose's walls tightening around him and he knew it was only a matter of time before he came. Sneakily, he grabbed a piece of wood from behind him and hid it behind his back as he distracted Rose with another wave of pleasure and pain.

She screamed out Damon's name, shouting it to the heavens. Her orgasm rocked her entire body to its core as Damon finally came, filling her body up to the brim. Her body slowly shackled to the floor slowly as her orgasm started to wear off. "That was amazing-" She gasped as her sentence got cut off da a sharp pain in her chest. She looked down and saw that it was a stake. Her eyes changed from fear to absolute rage as her eyes were met that of a smirking Damon. "You-you jerk! te tricked me!"

"All's fair in Amore and war baby." Damon cheekily replied as he stood up, grabbing his clothes and hurriedly putting them back on. "I don't take kindly well to people who threaten my family."

"You'll be sorry." Rose gasped out, gasping for air as her life ebbed away from her. "Klaus will be the death of you! You'll see. He'll kill you. He'll kill te all!" Her eyes went wide as her skin turned gray and finally she laid motionless on the floor.

"I hope te burn in hell." Damon dryly said, walking out the front door and slamming it behind him.

Klaus smiled evilly down at the sleeping child in his arms. He looked around the trees that he was hidden in, making sure that not a soul was out here. Realizing that there weren't any, he drew back his hand and snapped it forward, hitting Delena hard on the cheek, causing her to cry out in pain. "Wake up."

Delena opened her eyes, tears immediately beginning their descend down her face. Klaus smirked. "Cry all te want. It just makes it that much più fun when I'm slowly ripping te to bits."

Delena cried harder. Her little body was shaking uncontrollably. Tears stained her face and her hair was mattered with grime and mud. She tried to speak through her sobs but they took over her body as it became enveloped with complete fear. What was going to happen to her? Where was her dad?

Klaus let out a cruel laugh as he grabbed Delena da her hair and tugged hard, causing her to scream loudly. He picked up the sobbing child and with inhuman speed, he threw her head first into a tree. He laughed enjoyably as Delena's cries reached ear splitting volumes. His face flashed red and he slowly walked over to Delena, bending down to her eye level and flashing his whitened fangs at her, making her even più terrified then she already was. "This is going to be fun." Klaus grinned as he roughly twisted Delena's hair and felt his fangs elongate. He licked his lips as he brought the tips of his fangs to her neck and bit down hard, drawing out dark carmine blood.

Klaus greedily drank his fill, not noticing the black shadow creeping behind the trees. His head snapped up just as a boulder like force was being slammed into him. Trees fell brutally on superiore, in alto of each other as Klaus body flew through them, creating a path of destroyed trees and disturbed soil. He got up and his eyes narrowed at the sight of a dark figure looking down at Delena with black rage embedded in them. Damon quickly picked up Delena and held her close to his chest, rocking her slightly. "Shhh...Daddy's gonna make him pay. Daddy's gonna rip his fucking throat out and make him wish he never heard the name o ever encountered Damon Salvatore." He kissed her bruised forehead and took off his leather giacca and wrapped it around the trembling child. Delena looked up at him with her tear streaked face and red cheeks, still sobbing hysterically. "I'm gonna make it all better." Damon whispered, sitting down on the ground and taking the crying toddler in his arms. He brought his wrist up to his mouth and made an incision in his wrist. He held the blood up to Delena's mouth and forced a few drops of blood down her throat. She coughed a little, getting blood on Damon's leather giacca and white camicia but he didn't care. He pulled Delena close to his body and held her there until she calmed down somewhat. "Feel better?" Damon ran his hands through her wet and dirty hair, flinging some clumps of dirt and twigs from her Cioccolato layers.

"A wittle." she replied, sniffling.

Damon took his thumb and wiped away the tears that stuck to her face. He kissed both of her cheeks before sitting her on the ground da the albero with his leather giacca wrapped around her. "Daddy will be right back. Don't sposta and stay right where te are."

Delena just stared at him, her body still in shock and trying to register what happened. She held onto Damon's giacca tightly with her little bailed up fists, looking beyond scared. Damon turned his head and his stormy blue eyes caught the gaze of Klaus. Every muscle in Damon's body tensed, screaming at him to go in for the instant kill, but he knew if he did that then he would be dead in a matter of seconds. Klaus smirked as he edged closer to Damon, glancing down at the child shielded protectively behind Damon. He sneered. "You honestly think te are getting out of here with your daughter alive?"

"I don't think, I know." Damon snapped back, his eyes never leaving Klaus's stance.

Klaus stared at him in total silence before bursting out laughing. "You really are a jokester aren't you? Funny."

Red veins surrounded his eyes, coating the stormy seas in a viola red color. His jaw clenched and the tips of his fangs shown through his upper lip. "When it comes to my family, I don't kid around. And te are a fool if te think I'm letting te get away with this."

"Then what's keeping te from charging over here and ripping my cuore out? Scared that the moment te step away from your princess that I might accidentally snap her neck before te can even blink?"

Damon snarled viscously. "I'm not attacking te now because I don't have a death wish. I'm not going to just blindly throw myself out there so te can finish me off."

"A wise choice." Klaus mused, his eyes lighting up suddenly. "But soon te are going to have to attack me, and we both know who will be walking away from this fight as the victor. You're a fool to think te can take down the oldest vampire of all time."

"I may not be able to take te down at the moment, but I sure as hell can weaken you."

Klaus shook his head, laughing to himself inwardly. "Go ahead and try."

Damon growled. He knew what Klaus was trying to do. The secondo he stepped away from Delena he would get her and possibly kill her without a secondo thought. Damon's lips tightened. As much as he hated this, he was going to have to make some kind of distraction to get Klaus attention away from him for just a secondo before he and Delena could make their escape. He hated running from fights più then anyone but he couldn't risk his daughter's life. "I think I will. And since I'm so nice I'll let te go first. It's only fair since te look so weak."

Klaus eyes narrowed but he stayed rooted to his place. "You really think idle threats are going to affect me?"

Damon smirked. "No, I didn't expect that one to sink in. I mean, te have the IQ level of a goldfish so I'd be surprised if te knew how to throw a punch."

Damon smirked in victory. He could feel the anger pulsating off of Klaus. Every fiber in his body was trembling like mad and he wanted to attack but he was holding back. Damon knew that it was only a matter of time before he snapped. "You better watch your mouth boy."

"Or what?" Damon challenged, smirking as Klaus face reddened with anger.

"You'll wish te were dead da the time I'm through with you."

Damon just laughed, clearly amused da this whole situation. "Then mostra me."

Klaus anger slowly dissipated, a smirk forming on his face. "Why don't te make the first move?"

Damon growled. He had been hoping he would take the bait. He didn't know how much longer he could last without attacking him head on.

A familiar vibrating in his pocket alerted him, causing him to glance down and see that it was a message.

From: Katherine

I have your daughter. Don't worry about her. She's safe. I got her while te were distracting Klaus. And don't let Klaus know that she's not there. Continue to try and get him to attack first.

PS: Stakes against original Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. won't work. They need to be killed da using white ash wood. te can find them in the forest that te are in.

Damon stuffed his phone deeper into his pocket and looked back up at Klaus, a tiny smirk playing on his lips. Now he didn't have anything to worry about. His daughter was sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza and that's all that mattered to him. His eyes flickered over to the albero and saw that his leather giacca was still there in the same way that he had left it except he could see that Delena was no longer there. Luckily for him, Klaus hadn't noticed. "Well, I don't have all day."

Damon smirked. "Neither do I." Klaus watched as Damon inched a few steps away from the albero and vanished.

Klaus looked taken aback da Damon's sudden change in behavior. Just as he was about to charge towards the albero he let out a blood-curling scream as the half side of his body was lit with internal fire. Damon let a cocky smirk grace his features as he jammed the white wood into his body even more. "Like I said, I always win against idiotic Vampiri#From Dracula to Buffy... and all creatures of the night in between. like you."

Klaus gritted his teeth together, glowering in Damon's direction. In one fluid movement he successfully ripped out the white wood and plunged it into Damon's body, right above his heart.

Damon screamed in pure agony while withering under Klaus's assault. His eyes flashed dangerously, watching Klaus put his foot down on the snowy white wood. Damon closed his eyes and breathed out heavily at the rippling and tearing of his flesh echoed loudly in his ears. His eyes snapped open and swung Klaus's foot off of him, smirking as Klaus stumbled backwards. He let out a guttural growl, flying at Klaus and pinning the wood right where his cuore was. Damon laughed as he held his position, watching Klaus try in futile to escape.

Damon's smirk soon vanished as Klaus threw his head back and let out a laugh. He narrowed his eyes. "What's so funny?"

Klaus laughed for a few minuti before regaining his composure. "You really are an idiot aren't you? Didn't Rose tell te that I can't die? Even if te drive that piece of white wood into my cuore te still won't be successful. I will live on forever and there's nothing te can do to stop me from killing all of your loved ones. So go ahead and kill me. I will be back when te least expect it."

Damon shook his head. "Goodbye." An ear splitting scream was heard as Damon pierced Klaus's heart. He watched as his skin desiccated and turn a gray color. Damon spat in his direction and turned to walk away when he grabbed Damon's wrist.

Damon growled as his wrist burned and yanked it away, looking at the burnt flesh. "That's the best thing te can do? Pathetic." Damon kicked Klaus's body into a tree, a smile of victory on his face. Now he can go home to Elena who is probably worried sick about him. Casting one look at Klaus's dead body, a bone chilling shiver ran down Damon's spine but he ignored it and ran into the thickens of the woods.

The boarding house soon came into view and a huge sigh escaped Damon's lips. Finally, he was home. He opened the front door and walked in, listening for any sounds of Elena o Delena. "Elena?" Damon called, looking around the spacious living room.

"Damon?"

Damon cast his eyes upward to find Elena looking down at him from the balcony, tears on the edge of her eyelids. Immediately, he was da her side, pulling her into a hug. "Katherine told me what happened." Elena sobbed out, burying her head into Damon's chest. "God I was so worried about you."

"Shh..." Damon cooed, running his fingers through Elena's perfectly straight Cioccolato hair. "I'm okay. Delena's okay. Everyone is ok."

Elena continued to cling to Damon's camicia as she bawled, her frame shaking. Damon sighed, putting his left arm on Elena's back and used the other one to sweep her feet off of the floor and culla her bridal style in his arms. "Don't cry princess. te know how much I hate to see te cry."

Elena nodded, calming down. A few sniffles escapee her lips as Damon walked slowly to their bedroom. He kicked off his shoes and placed Elena on the bed. He threw his blood stained white camicia to the floor and crawled in successivo to her, pulling her closer to him. She laid her head on his chest, snuggling into the warmth of his skin. Damon leaned over and kissed her forehead softly, feeling the warmth of her body radiating onto his lips. "You must have been going crazy while I was gone."

Elena smirked, all traces of sadness gone and replaced da humor. "Actually, I had alot of fun with Stefan. He took my mind off of everything. I don't know what made me break up with him. He was so good to me and-" she stopped talking once she saw the look of murder flashing on Damon's face. She laughed and patted his stomach. "I was kidding Damon. I would never do that."

"That was not funny." Damon snapped, clearly hurt.

Elena sighed. Overly sensitive like always. "Damon, te know Stefan's a bore. That's one of the reasons I broke up with him."

Damon laughed, flipping Elena over onto the letto and pinned her hands besides her head. "You like the guys that can make te scream tight? Stefan could never make te scream like I can."

Elena smiled as she kissed him longingly on the lips, flicking her tongue furiously and making a moan escape into Elena's mouth. She pulled away suddenly, earning a dirty look in return. "I'm tired Damon. Besides, Katherine's dropping Delena off so we better not start."

"You evil little thing." Damon growled out. "Besides, how do te know Delena's almost here? We can be fast."

Elena giggled. Just as their lips were about to met in a fiery wave of passion, the sound of the front door opening and Delena's voice wavering up the stairs caused Damon to groan. "Son of a bitch!"

Elena rolled her eyes at Damon and shoved him off of her as she particularly flew down the stairs and crushed her daughter into a hug. "Oh my god sweetie, are te ok? Come here." Elena smoothed Delena's now clean hair down her back and picked her up in her arms.

"I fine Momma!" she chirped happily, smiling up at her as she carried her upstairs and to her bedroom where Damon was lying, smirking up at them as they walked in. Damon took in his daughter's clean appearance and sat up on the bed. "Daddy!"

Damon let out a yelp of surprise as Delena tackled her body into his chest, wrapping her arms half way around his waist. Damon patted her on the head and pulled her away, looking into her blue eyes. immagini of those clear eyes being filled with so much pain and sadness flooded his thoughts. He never wanted to see that again. "Daddy told te I would rip his throat out didn't I? Huh?"

Delena let out a squeal as Damon attacked her with tickles, laughing along with her as Elena watched them from a distance. A single tear made it's course down her cheek, leaving a trail of liquified salt behind that slowly dried up into the pores of her skin. She joined Damon and Delena on the bed, laughing along with her family as they enjoyed their happy reunion.

Delena let out a loud yawn, looking up at her parents with tired eyes. Damon pulled the half awake child into his arms and laid down, pulling the oro and brown covers over them. Elena scooted successivo to them, wrapping her arms around Damon as he kissed her and Delena softly, never once moving his arms off of them. "Good night Daddy." Delena yawned, burying her face into his muscular chest.

Damon ran his fingers up and down her cascading waterfall of brown hair, baciare it softly as he closed his eyes and tightened his embrace around her small frame. "Goodnight princess." He looked over at Elena who had fallen fast asleep and tucked a loose piece of hair behind her ear, smoothing out the Rapunzel - L'intreccio della torre knots before falling into a deep sleep.
