I  clung onto Damon for dear life, Knowing he was my only protection and he was the only one I felt safe around. I mean, I don't know many vampires but even if I did nothing could compare to how secure and protected Damon made me feel, And I felt the same way about him - Like I always needed to protect him; I know cliche right? But I guess love turns you into a cliche.

I laid there on top of Damon as we held each other tighter than we ever have before, I thought I was a goner and that I'd never see him again; I'm sure he felt the same way in return. Suddenly, My thoughts were lost as I felt hands grip deep into my shoulders, The aggressor threw me up against the parlour wall - Just dodging the fire place. My body crashed to the floor like a thousand bricks - Heavy and painful. I quickly looked up, I already knew who it was who tossed me but I couldn't let him get to Damon. My life with Damon flashed before my eyes as I seen Steve's arm around Damon's neck; ready to snap it as I laid there watching. In the blink of an eye, Damon was freed from Steve and now I was pinning him down to the parlour floor - Determined not to let him slip away. I felt Steve reach into his pocket, Then a splash of what I'm assuming to be water - Ran down my face. I shook my head then wiped off my face, Steve's eyes widened as his jaw dropped ''But you're a vampire, That should of burned you.'' Steve protested, Exasperated by what he had just witnessed. I heard Damon walk over to me, As he hovered over Steve ''What can I say? I'm different.'' I said with a sly tone and tried to play a devilish look with in my eyes. I could almost hear Damon's smirk from my remark, ''You're a monster.'' Steve's voice was terrified as he spoke those harsh words, It sent me over the edge and there was no coming back. I pushed my hand into Steve's chest, Felling his muscle and tissue tear away at my hand. I could feel the pulse of his heart within my fingers - Clenching onto that cold heart of his - I was ready to rip it out and never look back. Steve moaned in pain, Protesting against me - I gritted my teeth and turned my hand; Turning his heart along with it. ''Don't, Jules.'' He pleaded through pain wrenching moans, I stopped for a moment ''Why not?'' I had no tone to my voice, At this point I didn't care what happened to him. Damon put his hand on my shoulder and the next second, Steve was gone and I was sitting on an empty floor.

I was in the basement in under a second, Being as quiet as possible even though I knew they could both hear me - But I made sure they couldn't see me. ''Why'd you do that?'' I could hear Steve say angrily - ''Because you're an idiot, That's why.'' Damon retorted back.. Although his tone was angry I found it rather cute. ''She doesn't want to kill you, But I do.'' Damon's voice was harsh, Cold even.. I quickly stood between Damon and Steve; Guarding them from each other. I looked at Steve ''You and I, We need to talk.'' I told him sternly, Knowing it was the truth. Steve went and sat down in the corner as I slowly faced Damon - Making sure Steve wasn't going anywhere this time. ''Damon..'' I nearly breathed, His face held the smuggest expression of them all. I put both of my hands on the sides of his face, Looking deep into his ocean filled eyes that were now filled with hate. ''Don't.'' I simply said and with in a matter of seconds his face lightened up and his eyes were now filled with sympathy. ''If he even flinches, I will rip his heart out.'' Damon told me in the most honest and angriest tone. I nodded and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, Damon stepped back as Steve stood up and his expression was killing me. How could I still feel bad for this man? ''You really didn't have to do that in front of me.'' Steve said, Expressing his disgust for my kiss on Damon's cheek. I rolled my eyes, Over dramatic much? I thought to myself but didn't dare to say it out loud. ''I don't under stand it.'' Steve said in a low tone, I furrowed my brows then he cleared up my confusion. ''The two of you.'' He started then sighed, Analyzing Damon and I, I knew Damon was watching his every move. ''How you, Jules. Can be with a guy like him.'' Steve finally said, He was pushing all the wrong buttons and I'm pretty sure he knew that. ''A guy like me?'' Damon interrupted, Pointing at himself while he spoke in bitterness, His eyebrows furrowing as a crease formed in between his darkened eyebrows. I looked back at Damon with a stern face, ''What do you mean.. A guy like him?'' I questioned with attitude, Not liking where this was heading. ''He's everything you've been fighting against.'' Steve's tone was blunt, Angered almost but not quite more truthful then anything. I crossed my arms over my chest, Raising my brow the slightest bit ''Obviously you know nothing about me.'' I stated, Not being able to believe the words that were coming out of his mouth. ''You have a child, With me. You've been so obsessed with vampires and how bad they are.'' Steve protested, I inched closer to him ''I have a child, That's correct.. But she is no longer and will never be yours.'' I was harsh, But it had to be said.. I didn't want him in Lenora's life at all and I needed to get that out. I turned around, Facing Damon as my eyes dropped to the ground ''And by the way, Damon stands for everything I love. You just can't live with the fact that I'm inlove with him.'' I said softly, Not wanting to meet anyones gaze. ''Like you were inlove with me?'' Steve questioned hurt, I stopped dead in my tracks and looked straight into Damon's hurt and confused eyes ''I was never in love with you Steve, I was compelled to love you.'' I told him as tear fell from my eye, Laying out the cold hard truth.. For the first time. Damon grew as shocked as I'm sure Steve was, I had kept it to myself since I turned.. I didn't know what was happening but I knew I couldn't tell a soul because I felt like such a bad person. ''Then why'd you keep her?'' Steve asked me, His tone ice cold now almost giving me goose bumps. I turned around to face Steve ''Because I love her.'' I told him, I could never not love my child.. she was my heart and soul.  I walked up to Damon and nodded towards him ''Go ahead.'' I told him quietly, Letting him do what ever he pleased to Steve.. The truth was out and I couldn't let Steve ever get the chance of leaving this room because I knew if he did leave, Nothing good would come from it. 

I eavesdropped as Damon and Steve fought ''You never hit a woman, Do you understand me?'' Damon yelled angered by Steve's action ''Especially my woman.'' Damon said, Putting emphasis on the 'my', Which made me bite my lip at his confession. ''I don't care what happened between you two, Hell, I don't even care if you live to see another day.. But what I do care about - Is that girl upstairs listening to our every word; Waiting for me to rip your head off.'' Damon was as blunt as possible and I admired him for that, But now I felt a little bad for listening into there argument. ''You don't know her like I do.'' Steve told Damon, Almost as if he was challenging him. The basement got quiet ''I know her better then you do.'' Damon spat at him, I could practically hear the gritting of his teeth. ''I love her, I'm not letting anyone get in the way of that.'' Damon growled at Steve then Steve retorted ''Yeah, But it's pretty clear she could never feel something for a monster like you.'' Steve let out a deep chuckle, Taunting Damon.. Suddenly a clawing sound pinged in my head - Bouncing around in my ears. I could hear Steve's blood drip onto the cellar floor as the smell of his blood lingered up into the parlour. A gasp and painful choking sound came from with in Steve, He was gasping for his life and all I could think was 'Finally, He's getting what he deserves.' ''Shes'...'' Steve started but had to gasp for air ''A monster..., Just like... you.'' He said almost breathlessly - His time was up. I heard the churning of Steve's blood, A violent yelp left Steve's unhappy lips followed by a piercing moan that lingered with in the air around me.. I heard the sudden impact of my ex being de-hearted. This was it, This was the end.. I was finally free from him - From our past from everything surrounding him. All the bad things that have ever happened to me because of him, The bruises and scars and the bloody noses and lips - It was all gone and I could never be happier.
