Lost Love. Chapter 3.

Damon’s P.O.V.

She had been so close, I had held her again. I felt her hair, her breath on me, her hands through my hair. I felt her soft skin under mine, but yet I still couldn’t keep her here. ‘He’s changing. He isn’t the brother you’re used to anymore. He can save me, Damon.’ What did she mean? How had Stefan changed? How could he save her? He’s useless. Completely and utterly useless. A useless, bunny eating, idiot. He will never be able to save her, she must have been mistaken.

Stefan’s P.O.V.

The thirst was unbearable, something even the deer I just consumed could quench. I had drained it, yet I’m still hungry. The wind shifted and as casught the scent of a girl, a girl that was already bleeding, stumbling through the woods. I jumped up, and ran towards her.

‘Hello, miss. Are you ok?’ I asked.

‘Yeah, I tripped over a tree root and cut my leg though.’ She answered, completely unaware that I was already staring at the vein in her neck.

‘Why don’t you sit down, I’ll check your leg.’ She sat down immediately. I sat beside her and checked her leg, it wasn’t bleeding badly. I fixed it up then sat beside her. ‘You’re legs fine now. Why don’t you sit for a while though.’

She stayed beside me, and I put my hand on her knee. I saw her blush slightly. I put my other hand on her chin, turning her face to me, and kissed her. I trailed my lips down her cheek and neck, and eventually sank my teeth into her sweet neck.

Damon’s P.O.V.

‘I need your help.’ I hated saying those words, but I couldn’t think of anywhere else to go. I needed to get Luce back.

‘I’m sorry, you what? I didn’t quite get that.’ Replied Bonnie, playing with me. The witch really knew how to annoy me.

‘I need your help. It’s urgent.’

‘Urgent? How urgent?’ She lost her cruelness, and seemed worried.

‘It’s about Stefan.’ I knew as soon as I said this that she would pay attention, be serious. ‘He’s changed. I don’t know how, or why, but he has.’

‘Changed? He seemed fine when I last saw him.’

‘No, something’s wrong.’

‘Right, so you don’t know why, or how he’s changed. But you know that he has? How?’ Bonnie asked, she didn’t seem to believe me.

I can’t tell her. I can’t ever let anyone know. I might have to though. That might be the only way to get her to help me. Oh god. I don’t want to do this.

‘A long time ago, too long ago, I met someone. She was amazing. Her name was Luce, beautiful and delicate. She loved me. And I loved her. Everything was great, perfect in fact. Then one day it all changed. Her father, he was incredibly important in the twon we were in, came back. He didn’t like the fact that his precious daughter was with someone like me. He wanted her to marry a prince. That was his plan for her. He forced her to go to meetings with princes. She always came to me after the meetings though. One night, she came to me, crying, she ran staright into my arms, and told me she didn’t want to stay here anymore. She couldn’t deal with meeting man after man when she knew who she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. I assured her that we would run away together. I took her home, making sure to drop her off by her window. I kissed her and left her to get ready to leave with me.’ I paused, I didn’t want to remember what happened next.

‘Damon? Damon what happened?’ I turned away from her, and carried on with my story.

‘I spent the next day arranging for our future. I noticed that people around town were being quiet. Something was wrong. I listened into a conversation with the towns main gossips. I found out what had happened, they were talking about Luce, word was that people had heard screams coming from the house early this morning. I raced to her house. Her maid told me that her father had come into her room early in the morning, he told her that prince she had met last night was waiting for her. She was to marry him. She argued, she told him she didn’t want to be with him, that she was in love with someone else. He had told her that she was never to see me again, that she never would. He told her that she was going to stay with the prince on the toher side of the country. He puled her out of her bed, and forced her out the room. She argued and tried to run, he hit her and she fell down the stairs. They had taken her to the hospital. I ran there, used my power over the nurse and found where Luce was. When I got to her room, I found her lying in the bed, she was bruised all over, and had cuts. I stayed by her bedside until her father came, he ordered me to leave, but I confronted him abot what he did. Luce had woken up during the row, and I stopped. I didn’t want Luce to see what I would do to her father. He ordered me out, yet I told him I wouldn’t leave her side. He punched me and Luce got out of bed and came to me. She was so weak. Her father grabbed her arm and threw her away from me. I can still hear her scream. He shouldn’t have done that. I was furious. She told him that she loved me, that we were running away together. He hit her, her kept hitting her until I stopped him. I launched him across the room, the wall cracked witht the force he hit it with. I fell to my knees and pulled Luce into my lap. She was bleeding heavily, I could feel her life leaving her body. I held her and told her I would never leave her. I promised her I would see her again. That I loved her. She told me she loved me too. She was so quiet I could hardly hear her. Then she went limp. I lost her. My Luce, the one girl that I have ever really loved, I changed for her, I wanted to be worthy of her. I loved her. I really loved her.’

Bonnie’s P.O.V.

Damon collapsed to the ground, he was shaking and crying hysterically. I put my hand on his shoulder. I’ve never seen Damon like this, it scared me.

‘I loved her. I really loved her. I promised her I would be with her again. She came back to me, in dreams at first, but then she came yesterday. She said Stefan had changed, that he could bring her back.’ He looked up at me, his face was so... so heartbroken. He looked like he had lost everything, like he had nothing to live for. ‘Bonnie, you have to help me get her back. I need her back. I love her. Help me.’
