Broken Walls (The Vampire Diaries - Enzo fanfiction)

Pride

"Oh Tilly, come on." Damon sighed as he watched me in my room as I started tiding. It's something I do that relaxes me. "You're overreacting."

I slammed my things down onto the bed before turning to glare at Damon.

"Overreacting? You knew there was something wrong with me and you didn't even say anything!" I exclaimed.

"Nothing's wrong with you."

"I was born in that forest Damon! Why would you even trust me?"

Damon walked up to me, placing his hands on my shoulders. "Because you're like a daughter to me."

I sighed, looking down however he still continued speaking.

"I know you don't like to think of it in that way but you have to realize that I am the one who raised you. I believe that you're better and can defeat the 'evil side' in you."

I chuckled sarcastically, shaking my head before looking up at Damon again. "You know what really terrifies me the most? What I felt when I killed Angus and Angie."

"What did you feel?"

"I felt like I was on top of the world. Like I was more powerful than the strongest of people." Tears slowly filled my eyes. "And I loved it." I scowled, tears now rolling down my cheeks.

"You don't mean that."

"Oh, but I do." I stated. Damon just stared at me in shock before leaving the room. I wiped my tears away, staring at myself in the mirror. What had I become?

Damon's P.O.V.

"How is she?" Elena asked as I poured myself some bourbon.

"She liked it." I stated, chugging down the drink.

"What?" Stefan asked, coming into the conversation.

"She liked the feeling of killing them. And that makes me a bad person because I could have done something to stop that from happening."

"There's nothing you could have done." he told me.

"So you don't have faith in her?" I questioned.

"I didn't say that-"

"No, that's exactly what you meant."

"Damon-"

"Have you guys finished arguing about me?" Tilly's voice said. We all turned towards her. "It's getting boring."

"Tilly." Elena spoke.

"If you need me I'll be at the grill." she said, pulling on her jacket and leaving the house. I sighed.

"She'll be fine." Elena smiled, rubbing my arm.

"I know." I answered, drinking more of my drink even though I knew deep down that I was lying not only to her, but to myself.

Tilly's P.O.V.

"Mind if I join you?" I heard someone say as I took a sip of my drink. I turned to see it was Jeremy.

"Go ahead." I replied, nodding to the stool next to me.

"I'll have a beer." he ordered.

"And a plate of fries." I continued. Jeremy just chuckled at me. "Don't worry. I'll pay."

Soon, our order came and I took a fry off the plate.

"Elena told me about your situation with the forest." he started.
