Stefan Salvatore & Maya Gilbert ~ The Vampire Diaries

What Is Going On?!

Maya/Katerina
Finally, after what seems like forever I got to see my daughter; and there was a genuine smile on my face. One that I didn't have to force there.

"Damon! Damon! Damon! Please, no, no! Don't leave me!" I cry.

Damon
It was time to take Stefanie away and put her down for her nap again. Her cries for me to stay with her was agonizing! It's bad enough with all the stuff she's going through with Stefan, now this.

What more could she take? I have no idea, and honestly I don't want to find out.

"Damon!" "Hm?" "She's trying to kill herself!" "What?" I vamp to her cell and close the door once I'm in. "No! Maya stop it! You can fight this!" "No, let me be!" "I'm not going to let you do that to yourself!" I whisper yelled, struggling to hold her from behind.

"Leave me alone, Damon! Let me go!" "Maya! Stop it, I know your scared, ok! So are we but you are not leaving this world yet! You have a daughter, who needs you! Stefan needs you, I need you!" "Stefan doesn't need me! He has Caroline! You have Elena! Stefanie has you, Stefan, Elena, Caroline and Bonnie she doesn't need me! I'm never getting out of here anyway!"

"Maya! They don't matter, the only one you need to worry about right now, is you! Stefan doesn't matter, and if you never wanna see him again, then don't! But Stefanie needs her mother! Do you understand me! Do not let her grow up without you!" She stops fighting and throws her head back to shoulder, crying.

"I don't wanna be alone again" She whispers. "Ok, I won't leave you alone" I whisper back. "I always feel like chunks of my memories are missing when I'm alone... I never liked being alone anyway" "I understand, you don't have to explain anything to me" She nods, I can see tears in her eyes even through the darkness.

"I love you, Damon" "I love you too, Maya" I said, pulling her to me and running my hands through her hair.

She starts snoring and I really wanna get out of this cell, but I promised her I wouldn't leave. So, I won't break that promise. She'd never trust me again, and I don't want that, I'm pretty much the only one she has left.

"Damon?" She asks. "Go back to sleep" "I am not tired any longer, there is a time to sleep and a time to work... I have finished the time to sleep, now I must work" She said, I sigh and say, "I will find you something to do, just stay here" "Thank you, my love" "I'm not-" She furrows her eyebrows.

"Well, she's back to Katerina again" I sigh after locking the cell door closed.

"You were down there all night?" "She didn't wanna be alone, Stefan" "I fucked my whole relationship with her up"

"Maybe she won't remember" "Damon" "Listen, I think she needs to worry about her and you need to worry about you and only you right now ok?" "Yeah"

"She wanted me to stay down there so he wasn't by herself, so I didn't bother even leaving, she was having break downs I wasn't gonna let her be alone"

"I feel like this is all my fault" "Stefan, she just didn't want to be down there anymore, she is scared out of her mind, she hates being alone all the time down there, I mean she was telling me about how she knew has chunks of memories missing, and it scares the hell out of her"

I see him shake his head and sigh out of guilt. "Do not go all guilt ridden on me Stefan" "How are we supposed to help her, Damon?!" "I don't know, Stefan! Instead of sitting in here being all guilty, go out and do something! Try and figure out what the hell you can do!"

There was a bang downstairs and I looked at Stefan. "Go search for ways" He nods and leaves. "Katerina! You better not have hurt yourself!" When I got down there, I heard that bang again. She was throwing herself up against the door. When she saw me, her eyes widen and she backs up all the way to the back wall.

She was breathing heavily and blinking rapidly. "Why are you throwing yourself against the wall?!" She shook her head, panicky. "I- I won't! I won't tell him!" She whispers, panicking to someone who wasn't there.

"Katerina, what is going on with you?" I ask, narrowing my eyes at her. All of a sudden, she runs towards the door and throws herself against it. Which knocks her out, making her fall on the ground.

I just stand there, confused about what just happened.
