Believe Me (Vampire Diaries Fanfiction)

Chapter 41

Nova's POV

Julian had led us to some abandoned building. It was where they held underground fights between the vampires where the losers die. We watched as two vampires had fought on an elevated platform until one of them succeeded in killing their opponent. I grabbed Day's arm, "Can we at least talk about this first? I don't want to see you fight like this and get hurt. If what you said was true then Lena wouldn't want you to do this either. Please Day, let's just talk." He looked at me and caressed my cheek before kissing my forehead, "I need this Angel." He pulled away and looked into my eyes and my heart twinged, it was his serious look, a look he gave only rarely so I had no choice but to agree and yanked his face to be level with mine, "You better win because if you don't I'll bring your ass back to life and torture you for the rest of eternity." He looked at me with a lopsided grin and promised he would before getting on the platform. He killed the man quickly making me flinch while watching him, he was upset and full of rage but I didn't know what to do. He didn't want to stop and he looked more and more like he was losing control so I walked to the ring, "Day that's enough, let's go home," but he didn't listen and another vampire walked onto the platform and everyone started chanting his name, Samson. He was huge and Julian spoke up, "Sam, here, never lost a fight," Day looked at Julian, "Perhaps the pain he inflicts will finally feel like atonement." I panicked and called out to him again but it was too late, Sam had punched Day disorienting him but he quickly countered back and the fight continued until he was thrown on his back near where I stood, "DAMON! THAT'S ENOUGH!" He wouldn't listen so I tried to get onto the platform but Julian had wrapped an arm around my neck, pulling me to his chest while we watched Day fight. Getting overpowered I was about to use my magic to help Day when I noticed the waitress that was passing out drinks throw Day a wooden stick so he used it to stake the vampire killing him. Julian got mad yelling in my ear, "NO WEAPONS!" 

Day got off the platform and pulled me out of Julian's arms so I thought we were going to leave but he didn't stop, "Who's next?" I snapped my head to Day but before I could say anything Julian spoke up, "I am. You wanna fight again? Then you'll fight me next." I looked at Julian before grabbing Day's arm to try and stop him plus hearing another voice, "Damon!" It was Stef, "What the hell is going on?" Julian had interrupted, "Are you in? Or are you out?" Day turned to get on the platform but Stef tried to stop him again, "Do not get in that ring. Leave with me right now. Whatever's going on, we will figure it out," while I added, "Day, please, I'm begging you. You had your fun, now let's go home." I pleaded with my eyes but Julian asked again so Day looked at the both of us before saying, "I'm in." We tried convincing him again before the fight but it went through deaf ears and Julian had asked some of his vampire friends to "escort" Stef out so I tried to follow but he told me to stay. I wanted to use my magic but I didn't know what the consequence of my actions would be and if they would affect the gang after I left so I clenched my jaw and just watched Julian beat Day up until he got him on his back and crouched above him, "You've driven every last soul who ever cared for you, except for her," he pointed at me so Day looked at me who already had tears streaming down my face, "And it's not that I wouldn't love to do it," Julian looked at me then at Day, "Are you sure?" Day looked at me again as I shook my head but still said, "Do it. Rip my heart out," making my mouth drop as I cried more. I was frozen on my spot so shocked at what Day was doing, but this was so typical of him so snapping out of my shock I raised my hand and made every vampire in the room drop to the floor unconscious except for Julian and Day who looked shocked at what I did. Through gritted teeth, I glared at Julian, "Let go of him, Jul," he looked at me with widened eyes and slowly let go so I noticed Val and Stef walk into the room. Stef had crouched above Day who still laid on the floor, "If you let Julian rip your heart out, I will kill him. And every single person here will instantly rip my head off. But you don't care, do you? Your life doesn't matter, neither does mine, and neither does Nova's, does it?" Day snapped his head to me while Stef continued while offering his hand, "Come on, brother." After a moment of looking into each other's eyes, Day took Stef's hand making me sigh in relief while walking out of the building.
