Damon was running his fingers softly though her hair. Their stay hadn't gone quite like he'd planned, as so far, there had been less sexy shenanigans, and more rage and betrayal induced tears from the witch.
She'd finally calmed down though, and breathed out slowly, as she pressed a soft kiss to he bonded's chest. "Sorry I've been all angry and enraged today. I know it's not exactly what you had in mind when you brought us here." She mumbled guiltily.
"Baby, I just wanted you away from them. And clearly I was right. So if what you needed to do in order to calm down was rage and scream and throw stuff, then I'm glad you got to do it."
"I just..." her breath shuddered out of her, before she continued, "Alaric looked me in the eyes, and promised he wouldn't cause me anymore pain. I straight up told him how my entire family had been killed in front of me, and he proceeded to do the same. I just feels like everyone I thought I could rely on turned their backs on me. And now, I just have you."
"Hey," he whispered softly, looking down at her with love and tenderness in his gaze, "Bonnie and Caroline had no idea, and I have a feeling they would have severely disagreed with the plan, had they been aware of it. As for my brother and his girlfriend, fuck them. They don't matter, and they never will. And I know you considered Alaric family, and I know his betrayal is the one that stings the most, but I also have feeling he instantly regretted his actions."
"It's not just that, Ace. I can't even conceive the idea of promising someone something, of looking them in the eyes and promising them, giving them my word, only to so blatantly betray them. And for what? A half-assed plan I figured out and mitigated immediately. They all decided Elena's potential safety mattered more than my well-being. They all unanimously decided that I didn't matter, that I was more dispensable than her. And I just don't know where I went wrong. What did I do to make them believe this so fully?"
