Death of you

YASMINE'S POV

MEANWHILE.....

I gasp loudly as I open my eyes, drinking in my surroundings in confusion. The last thing I remember is walking outside of the Salvatore Manor to find Dad before everything goes black. I watch as a beautiful petite and slim woman walks into my view and her beautiful face sneers in disgust at the sight of me.

"Who are you?" I demand as I try to lunge forward but realize my entire body is paralyzed. It's only then do I realize I'm in some sort of cave and I nearly groan loudly. This is the second bloody time. Someone honestly has a death wish at this rate.

She stares at me in further disgust and scoffs haughtily. "You are the product of Silas and Amara? A mere mortal? Pathetic. But then again, Amara has always been a pathetic handmaiden. That's all she ever was - a handmaiden." She sneers and my heart clenches tightly upon hearing my mother's name.

"Don't you dare say her name. Who the fuck are you?" I snap back vehemently and she smirks devilishly at me as she places her hands on her hips.

"Qetsiyah." Comes her cold, stoic reply.

"You...Dad was engaged to you." I instantly put everything together and anger rages in me. "You killed my mother, you separated my parents from me." The tears well up in my eyes but the raging anger pulses through me and suddenly my body burns. It's like I'm on literal fire and suddenly my hands are moving and fire is dancing through my fingers. I watch as Qetsiyah's eyes widen in surprise.

"Yasmine!" I hear Skyler shout and I watch as my entire family and Dad rush in but nothing mattered more than the vengeance that's fueling inside me. I focus on Qetsiyah and raise my hand up, slowly scrunching them into a fist, causing her to scream loudly.

"You killed my mother, you separated me from my father. Do you want to see how much we hurt? How much they hurt?" I tilt my head to the side, my mind suddenly channeling agony, anger and pain straight to her. She gasps loudly and drops to her knees, her hand raising up as she stares at me.

"Stop it." She whimpers and I scoff as I squat to my knee, shoving my face into her.

"No. You deserve to die a painful death." I raise my hands up and her body twists unevenly before it snaps into two and I watch as her body suddenly drops dead, her eyes staring back at me, cold and lifeless.

Silence overwhelms the cave and the only sound is the water dripping behind me before Dad steps towards me.

"Yasmine." Dad whispers and I look up at him. The guilt suddenly courses through me, it crashes and I step back.

"I-" I begin but pause when I see everyone staring at me in shock and some even in slight fear? Damon's eyes remain on me, void of any emotions but Stefan's eyes flash in absolute shock. I look at Skyler who is just staring at me, absolutely baffled.

"You have unlocked your immortality." Dad begins and I drop my hands as I stare at her and then look up at him. "How are you feeling, my love?"

"I feel guilty-"

"As you should, darling. But she would have killed you first. You did the right thing, my darling." Dad shushes me quietly and rubs my back soothingly before he pulls away. "Let's get you home, my love." I train my eyes down and my family instantly disperses as Dad leads me back to the Salvatore Manor.

"I just felt angry." I whimper and Dad rubs my arms when Klaus calls out my name. I stop in my tracks abruptly and turn around to face him.

He gulps and takes a step towards me. "Yasmine, I know you are probably traumatized but know that so was I. In fact, all of us were traumatised after our first kill but you did the right thing. You're a good person and I hate that you had to go through that but we are all here for you and I believe you did the right thing, she would have killed you and Silas, if not." He says fiercely.

"Thanks Klaus, guess you do have a heart huh?" I joke lightly and he and Skyler laughs.

"He's a huge softie." Skyler grins and nudges his chest before she pulls me into a tight hug. "I think you've proven you're more powerful than anyone could imagine. Now stop doubting your capabilities."

"I did feel pretty powerful." I grin widely and she laughs, pulling away.

"As you should be, it was pretty badass. But I'm just glad you're okay. Please take care and text me." Skyler smiles and disappears into the dark forest with Klaus on her heels.

Stefan, Damon, Dad and I silently trudge back home. Dad kisses me one more time and reassures me before he retreats into his room, leaving me with Damon and Stefan. Silence overwhelms us again before Stefan clears his throat.

"I thought you were amazing out there, you were strong and I understand it was traumatic but it was necessary. I hope you feel better soon and know that I'm always here." Stefan hugs me tightly and presses a kiss on my hairline before he nods at Damon in acknowledgement. He then retreats into his room, leaving me with Damon.

"Don't tell me how amazing I was. I killed someone." I scrub my hand over my face as I walk into our room. He shuts the door behind him and scoffs loudly.

"I know how you feel, you know."

I turn around to face him. "How did you deal with it, Damon? I should feel fucking grateful that she isn't here but somehow I feel that soul crushing guilt instead." I snap back and within seconds, I'm in in his arms, against a wall.

"Listen to me, Yasmine." He hisses and grabs my chin gently before he releases a massive sigh. "Its hard, I'm not even going to say it gets easier but in this world, it's a dog eat dog world and we need to kill before we get killed. That's just the stark reality and I'll never sugarcoat it for you. It doesn't get easier but it does heal."

I shut my eyes and inhale sharply, my emotions running high.

"You are an amazing woman, Yasmine Hale. What you did there.." My eyes fly open to look at him as he gestures at the door before he resumes. "Was fucking admirable. And I am so fucking in love with you. When you went missing, I felt my entire fucking heart drop. I saw another side of you today, the woman who hurts for her family and fought to survive. You are still the same woman I fell in love with."

"Damon." I choke back slightly but I don't get to say much as his lips crash onto me. He taps my ass lightly and I jump up as he hoists me up, my legs wrapping around his waist. Our kisses are heated, desperate as he races to the bed. He rips my clothes off and gets ontop of me, pulling me underneath him before I connect our lips once again.

"I love you so much, Damon Salvatore."

"I love you, I love you so much." His promise echoes through out the walls of the manor and so does his sweet nothings as he makes passionate love to my body till the sun rises.
