14. It's Been A Hell Of A Ride

"Well, this is creepy" Damon commented, looking down at his desiccated body.

"You shouldn't talk to yourself and expect an answer" Cade said, appearing behind Damon, "That way lies madness.

"Oh, speak of the devil" Damon taunted, "The devil, what the hell is going on?".

"Your body is spent" Cade informed, "Right now, you're in the space between spaces, on death's literal doorstep, call it limbo, if you must".

"Well, that makes sense" Damon said, "Sebastian siphoned me like a juice box", Damon then looked at Cade in confusion, "Why are you here?".

"I want the ashen dagger" Cade stated, "The one weapon that can kill me".

"Well, you're out of luck, because I don't have it" Damon retorted, "And last time I checked, I wasn't your errand boy anymore, what happens if I refuse to play fetch?".

"In layman terms?" Cade asked, "I drag your soul to hell".

"Go for it" Damon challenged, "I'd rather burn than serve you for another second".

Cade smirked, "I believe I have something that will change your mind" he said, taking small steps towards the oldest Salvatore, who in turn gave him a confused look, wondering what could he possibly have that will change his mind about helping him.

"Mom, me and Alec are going outside to play football!" Asher yelled, running down the stairs with Alec behind him.

"Stay in the driveway and come inside as soon as I call you for lunch!" Aria yelled from the Salvatore's living room, while doing Mia's hair, "And no magic!".

"Got it!" Alec said, running outside with his brother.

"Don't cheat this time" Asher warned his brother.

"I never cheat" Alec defended, an offended look on his face.

Asher gave his brother an are you sure look, but nonetheless he proceeded to kick the football towards his brother and the two brothers started their football match.

"Alec" an annoyed Asher yelled, as Alec kicked the football into a bush.

"Alec, Asher, lunch is ready!" Mia informing, running outside.

Alec looked at his brother, "Get the ball, I'll see you inside" he said, rushing inside with his sister.

"I hate you!" Asher yelled.

"Back at you!" Alec yelled back.

Asher shook his head and went over to the bush Alec had kicked the ball, but to his confusion, the ball was no where to be seen, he started to look around and was confused seeing the ball at the end of the Salvatore driveway, Asher sighed in annoyance while running over to grab the ball, not wanting to delay lunch and hear a scolding from his mother, however as soon as Asher grabbed the football, someone grabbed him from behind.

"Where's Asher?" a confused Aria asked, as Mia and Alec ran into the kitchen where both Aria and Kol were.

"Outside" Alec informed, sitting on the dinning table, as Aria placed a plate infront of him.
