Beautiful Disaster

Episode 28- Like Father, Like Son

WARNINGS: Violence; Blood Consumption

After he finished, Damon was called by Stefan as he traveled home. During their conversation, Damon revealed that he undaggered Elijah.

"You did what?!"

"Look, we have a secret weapon waiting to kill Klaus. But since you weren't gonna give Elion his request, I had to," Damon said, "You're welcome."

Stefan hung up and parked outside the Salvatore house. Then he stormed in.

A swift hook to the jaw was enough to make Damon stagger. He licked at the blood that came from his (healing) busted lip.

"Happy now," Damon asked, thinning his lips into a forced smile.

"I told you not to touch my stuff," Stefan hissed.

"How else are we going to get Elion back? He already wants to have your kidneys for dessert," Damon said.

"He wouldn't hurt me because that would hurt you," Stefan reasoned.

"You're right. He'll just keep avoiding us," Damon said, "But like it or not, we need him so deal with it."

"No, Damon. We're doing just fine without Elion. The only person who needs him is you," Stefan sneered.

A sharp 'ahem' grabbed their attention. Stefan quickly adjusted his stance to a defensive one.

"Relax, Ripper. I'm not here to chow down on your bones," Elion smirked.

"Then why are you here," Stefan asked.

"I heard my father's awake," Elion said.

"How did you hear that so quickly?"

"Spirits talk," Elion shrugged, "So like I said, I'm not going to hurt you."

Before Stefan could respond, he felt someone yank his head back and bite a chunk out of his neck. Stefan gritted in pain as shoved his attacker.

Milo smirked with Stefan's blood dripping down his chin. He stepped beside Elion, waiting for his command.

"Elion, what the hell," Damon hissed, glaring at him.

"Without his humanity, he's a liability to my family. But I won't let him die," Elion said, holding up a vial of his blood.

He extended it towards Stefan. He hesitated to grab the vial while holding his wound.

"Take it," Elion ordered, "If you don't, you'll die by midnight."

He finally stepped forward to grab the vial from his hands. As he reached for it, Elion snatched him by the throat.

Stefan's vampirism flexed, his fangs extending. Elion reached into his mouth, tearing out one of them. Stefan winced in pain.

"Elion," Damon started.

"When I ask for something, I expect to get it. I don't give a damn if I piss off you or Damon, do you understand me," Elion snapped.

"Yes," Stefan grunted, pushing at his hand.

If he squeezed any tighter, Elion would snap his neck.

He finally let Stefan drop and placed the vial in front of him. Then he walked out with Milo by his side.

"Is it me or did Elion seem harsher than usual," Damon asked.

"He's tougher, stronger, and faster," Stefan said, gulping down the blood inside the vial, "I like it."

Damon glanced at Stefan, who had a brief look of lust in his eyes.

"Don't you fucking dare," Damon snapped.

"Relax. All I'm saying is, he's gotten sexier lately," Stefan shrugged.

Damon rolled his eyes and went to chase down Elion.

Damon found him leaning against his car while talking to Milo and Atlas. He pushed himself off of the car and stepped forward as he noticed Damon.

"I know you're probably upset about what I did but..."

Damon pulled him into a kiss.

"Glad you got back safe," Damon said, "I was going to go meetup with Elijah. Join me."

Elion glanced over to Atlas and Milo.

"We'll check in with everyone else," Atlas said, giving them a chance to speak privately.

"Be careful with Klaus's hybrids running around," Elion suggested.

"That's a free meal," Milo smirked, hopping into the car.

Elion watched them leave before turning back to Damon. He grabbed his hand and lifted it to his lips before following Damon to his car.

While getting in, Damon caught sight of the engagement ring still on his finger. A subtle smile formed on his lips as they drove to meet Elijah.
