The Vampire Diaries - Mollie Wyllie (ready player one ebook txt) 📗

with every cell of her being and he’s destroying her. She’s just in denial over his choice, that’s why she is ignoring her feelings for him. But she can’t hide everything. We can all see the look in her eyes. We can all see her soul shattering and her heart breaking... I can’t look. It’s too much. I used to love Elena like she loves Stefan and I still care about her. The fact that my brother is hurting her like this is too much for me to bare. I have a plan, though. I know exactly what to do. The only problem is convincing Monica- and Elena- that it’s a good idea.

Chapter 6
Damon’s POV
Klaus wouldn’t let any of us be alone with each other, even when we went to the toilet he made sure Stefan or his other pet Eric were on guard. I had absolutely no time to prepare Elena or Monica for my plan. Maybe it’s better this way, though, Then when they’re questioned (which they will be) they will be telling the truth; they don’t know a thing.
Right then, Damon, take a deep breath and here we go...
Monica’s POV
I knew something was wrong as soon as I stepped into the grand room that is the Salvatore living room. You could probably fit my kitchen in this room three times over. “I have something we need to talk about.” Damon said as he took a seat on one of the many big chairs that were scattered around the room. I knew being locked up like this was killing him. He had always been the bad one; the one to be afraid of. And now he’s being forced in one place by two vampires, one of which is his brother, and whatever Klaus is. A hybrid, I suppose I should call him. “Do go on. What troubles are on your mind this fine day, mmm?”
“Well, it’s more of a business proposition, really.” Damon says in a strong voice.
“Oh, really? And what could you possibly offer me?”
“Help. I’m offering to join you. I’ll be whatever you want, DO whatever you want. On one condition.” He had Klaus’s full attention now. The way he talked and presented himself was that of a proper businessman. He could’ve sold me anything and I would’ve bought it. “And what is this condition, I wonder? I bet I can guess. Kill Katarina... No that’s not it. Leave Mystic Falls... Not it either. I know! You want me to let your lady friends here go” Klaus sneered.
“Yes, that and-”he takes a deep breath, probably thinking about how to continue “-I want you to let my brother go as well.” The room suddenly turns silent as everyone takes in his offer.

Chapter 7
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...” Klaus’s laughter fills the room, making everyone shrink from his power. He is kinda intimidating a lot of the time. But I don’t think there’s anything funny about his offer, not at all. “I’m being serious!” Damon bellows indignantly. He obviously means it and I know he wants to help his brother: I understand it, I do, I just don’t get why he’s doing it this way. I want to help Stefan to I’m just not turning evil to do it. “And why should I trust you?” Klaus questions, moving forward, so he is in Damon’s face.
“Because there isn’t anything for me left in Mystic Falls anymore. There hasn’t been anything for me in this God forsaken town since Katherine. It just took me a while to realise that. I’ve tried to be good; I’ve tried to be human but it just isn’t me. I am a monster. People have totally forgotten that. I’m now prepared to embrace for your needs. This town, and everyone in it, is dead to me from now on.” I flinch from Damon’s words as if it was a physical blow. Maybe it was. It certainly hit my heart. It hit it and tore it into tiny pieces. If that’s the way he wants to play it then fine. He can. I don’t care about him anymore. In fact I now want nothing more then to drive a stake through his heart.
Damon’s POV
Oh, God how can I do this? I can’t. It’s that simple. Elena and Monica hate me. I can tell by their eyes. I don’t blame them, I hate me. I have to believe what I’m saying because I highly doubt Klaus will let me in without compelling me to tell him the truth. Yes, I digest vervain but I haven’t had any for a day or two. Maybe that wont be enough. I have to prepare myself for that. Because if I fail, everyone I care about will end up dead.
