The Other Side

Forgiven and Taken Away

I walk upstairs and Damon's drying himself with a towel. I go into the bathroom, then I start running a bath. He watches me from the doorway as I slip my shoes off.

"Elena..."

"I want to be alone, Damon. I'll be in bed soon."

"It's been a week, Elena. You haven't said a word to me."

"That's because I don't know what to say. What could I possibly say now that'll make you happy?"

"You make me happy." I shake my head. "Hey. Look at me, please?" I look into his icy blue eyes.

"I'm sorry. I overreacted. I support you fully if this is what you want," he says softly. I shake my head while biting my lip.

"I don't know what I want." His face falls and he walks over to the closet. "You know that isn't what I meant. Damon," I turn his head toward me. "I love you. I'll always love you. That I know for a fact. I'll always want you. That and our kids are the only two things I'm sure of." He gets some clothes on then turns back to me. "It's been hell for this past week."

"Well, since we're under the advisory not to have sex," he pouts, "I think I know something that'll make you feel better."

"What's that, my beautiful wife?" I bite my wrist and I offer it to him. He smiles and does the same.

After blood sharing, A knock comes from the door.

"Come in." Evie smiles at us. "Hi. So... I have a question."

"Shoot."

"Okay... Well... Christian and I were looking at places and... We did find a venue for the wedding but... We were thinking. It's kind of weird to be engaged and still live with your parents..."

"So?"

"So, we started looking at houses. There's one for sale, it's a decent price and... We bought it."

"With what money?"

"Dad, as soon as I turned 18, I became as you so cleverly called it, 'the Salvatore Heir', so I can use the money as I please."

"How much was it?"

"315."

"That's not too bad. How big is it?"

"About half the size of the Boarding House." Both of our jaws drop. "That's actually pretty big."

"Yeah. So... Christian and I get the keys tomorrow."

"We're glad you found something, honey."

"Thanks Mom. I love you guys."

"And we love you, Evie." She leaves the room, then Damon and I look at each other. "She's not a little girl anymore." I tell him. "No she is not," he replies sadly. He kisses me gently and our son kicks. Damon squats down to my stomach.

"Hey little man. Are you awake?" He gives 2 kicks in response to his father's voice.

"I love you Caleb. I can't wait to meet you." He kicks once more then Damon stands up. "I love you Elena."

"And we love you."

Evie's POV

I pack up the rest of my clothes from my dresser followed by my closet. "That can wait until morning."

"I know. I love my parents to death, but I can't wait to live with you. Alone." He smiles. "I'm all packed. We can pick up the keys as soon as they open." He gets off the bed and walks over to me.

"I can't wait to get married." I tell him. "Me too. I can't believe that it's only 3 months away."

"Me neither! I'm glad we decided to write our vows. Now all I have to do is send out invitations then our wedding is officially planned."

"Great." He leans down and kisses me. A crash sounds downstairs and I run. Dad's beside me in no time, both of us scared. I jump off the top of the banister. Sam lies there unconscious. He wakes up a little and looks at me. "They have her... Farah."

"Who has her, Sam?"

"Klaus..." Anger fires in my stomach. Soon everyone is gathered around. "Farah's gone."

"What?!?" Aunt Katherine's hand flies over her mouth. "Kath, Stef, you stay here with Sam. Evie, Ricky, and Christian will come with us."

"There's no way in hell you're going Elena." Dad says. "I'm going."

"No, you're going to stay here with Katherine and Sam. Stefan, let's go."

"Damon!"

"Elena, I'm asking you to trust me. Please. I'm begging you," he gently touches Mom's baby bump, "don't put Caleb in danger." She kisses him then wraps her arms around his neck. "Come back to me safe, okay? If you don't I'm going to kick your ass. You too." She tells us. Dad nods. "I love you."

"I love you too." We head out to our cars, Dad and Uncle Stefan taking the Camaro. Ricky, Christian and I take my Lexus.

"Let's kick some ass."

Sorry it's so short!

Next chapter will be twice the size, maybe even 3 times the size.

Anyways, I have a couple shoutouts to make.
