The three of us walked in silence, all of us thinking, though I was sure it was of different things. I was thinking about what I had learned. I couldn’t believe human souls had to go through so much just to enter the afterlife. Worse still, how could Demons have no afterlife? In the short time I had known of Demons I knew something for sure, they can be both good and evil.
These thoughts went through my mind but what I was really focus on was what happened inside deaths castle, I couldn’t remember a thing and it scared me. Damon had explained the reasons but something inside me told me I needed to remember. In my mind came flashes, a women, an evil face and above all, a sense of fear. That fear still chilled me to my very core, it wasn’t just the dream anymore, there was more going on then what I knew.
I stopped walking, my fist clenched, looking down at my feet. I heard them stop and turn to face me “Rosie?” Damon said softly “are you ok?” my head flicked up and on impulse I jumped forward and tried to punch Damon in his face, Damon caught my hand “Whoa there! Calm down” he said, but I couldn’t hear him, I wasn’t in control of my body. I moved my leg and tripped him, Damon fell back. I went to stomp my foot into his stomach but he took hold of it and pushed me back “Rosie! Calm down, I don’t want you to hurt you!” I growled at him, watching as he took hold of my hands and held me pinned against the ground “you need to wake up Rosie! This isn’t you, come on… please…. Please Rosie” I struggled against him, it was no use though, he was stronger than me, he was a man and a demon. Something told me to look him in the eye and a did, in them I saw sadness and worry, something inside me seemed to snap back into place “d....Damon….r..r..Raven…. oh god” I sobbed “wha…. What did I do… what did I do!”
I had never felt more scared in that moment then I had in my entire life. Raven and Damon were exchanging looks, and I got the feeling they knew something they weren’t telling me “you two know” I said softly “YOU TWO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME!” Tears still fell down my face, but they weren’t of sadness, they were of anger “I’m losing my mind her! I can feel myself slipping away! Yet here you are not telling me a thing!”
“Because we can’t Rosie!” yelled Damon “you think we would let this happen to you! You think if we could stop we wouldn’t! Dammit Roise!” Damon grabbed my arms and pulled me against him “both Raven and I love you… she loves you like a sister, she has for years…. But I…. god Rosie…. I love you as more than just a sibling of friend…. You are the most important thing to me….. And always have been” that was when he kissed me, and I couldn’t believe how it made me feel.
His kiss was familiar, had I kissed before? I was sure I had never felt anything for him but at that moment my heart beat raced. I closed my eyes, feeling the emotion, the love, as Damon kissed me for the first time… or was it the first? What was it Damon had said? I was the most important thing to him, and always had been. He had only known me for a year and he had to be at least a couple centuries old, how could he have always loved me. He didn’t know me, at least… not very well.
After a minute or so my mind went to Marcus and I pulled back “this isn’t right” I said softly “Marcus…”
“Marcus abandoned you” Damon said, stroking my hair “he won’t be back…. And why would you want him when you have me, your sexy demon lover” he chuckled slightly. I knew he was just trying to make me laugh, but I didn’t feel like laughing “no… it’s not right…. I... I don’t love you” I said softly, the words were true but… what was with the pain in my chest, why did it hurt to say those words.
“I understand… Rosie” Damon said softly “come on… let’s get moving, we need to get to the rock forest by tonight”. We continued the trip in silence. I knew I had hurt Damon badly, even if he hid it well. Raven was unusually quiet as well, she had been this whole trip. “Raven” I said when Damon was out of earshot “are you ok? You haven’t said much since you told me we had already left Maxwell’s place”
“I’m fine, honestly” Raven said smiling sadly at me “the things… going on between you and Damon…. There none of my business and I don’t feel right forcing my views on them….”
“What about the..... The fight?” for some reason it was hard to say those words, saying them made it feel all too real
“I was frozen fear” Raven admitted “I couldn’t hurt you….. I knew I had to protect Damon… but I couldn’t risk hurting you either”
“I’m sorry Raven” I said sadly “I didn’t mean it….”
“I know…” we returned to walking in silence once more, no one spoke until we reached our destination
“Ladies” spoke Damon “welcome to the rock forest”
