THIRD'S THE CHARM | The Vampire Diaries x Male OC

BLOOD BROTHERS (S1:E20)

I'm laying in Bonnie's bed, with my beautiful girlfriend in my arms. She is back, we are together, we had amazing sex, she is sleeping safely with her head on my chest... then why can't I be at peace? Why do these memories pop up now? Is it because I almost died yesterday? Damn it...

1864

I'm in my room, a servant of my father holding a bloody tissue to my neck. My father walks into the room, an unreadable look on his face.

Giuseppe : Samuel, I heard you played your part well. One of the demons tried to feed off you and exposed themselves.

Sam : Yes, Father.

With just a look, he tells the servant to leave and sits down besides me, continuing to hold the tissue to my bitten neck.

Giuseppe : Good work, Samuel. Were you afraid when it bit you?

Sam : Yes, Father. I'm sorry.

Giuseppe : No, you don't need to apologize. Not this time. I never thought I would say this, but it seems like you are the only son of mine who is not a complete disappointment.

I look at Father in surprise.

Sam : What do you mean, Father?

Giuseppe : Your brothers betrayed us, Samuel. Damon and Stefan have fallen under this wretched demon's spell. Katherine Pierce was one of them. A vampire.

My eyes widen in shock. Miss Katherine? A monster?

Giuseppe : Samuel... your brothers are dead. They were shot during the tumult.

Tears immediately flow down my face.

Sam : W-Where is Miss Emily, Father?

Giuseppe : The witch? We burned her.

I've felt a lot of feelings towards my father through the years. Love, fear, respect and lots of others. He beat me constantly, I've been sacred, but I took it as it being my own fault.

This time, after telling me this... after telling me that Emily died, I first felt it. At 8 years old I first felt this unbelievable awful emotion and it was directed to my father... HATE.

I walk into the cellar of the Salvatore Boarding House, seeing Elena and Damon watching Stefan, who is locked up.

Sam : Geez guys, I'm only dead for five minutes and everything is going to hell.

Much to my delight, their eyes light up when they see me. Elena immediately hugs me, which is followed suit by Damon.

Elena : We were so worried! How did you survive?!

Sam : I'm a vampire, Elena. Dying is kinda my thing.

Damon : Fair enough.

I then look at Stefan through the little window in the door.

Sam : How's he doing?

Damon : Not exactly peachy.

Elena: It's so hard to see him locked up like this.

Damon: You're the one who locked him up.

Elena: You helped.

Sam : Hey Damon, remember when we locked you in here not too long ago and you gave me shit for it. Kinda feels like a déja-vu now, doesn't it?

Damon: What? I couldn't have him running around chewing on people while the town was looking for vampires, now, could I?

Elena: It had nothing to do with you actually caring about him?
