Chapter 10.
Luce’s POV.
Damon and I sat out in the garden of the Boarding House, under a tree that shaded us from the blistering heat of the sun. Damon was only wearing his trousers, with no shirt and had somehow managed to convince me to wear blue denim shorts and a black vest top. I had attempted to argue with him, but it was useless; women of this generation wore these types of skimpy clothes, so I had to too. I’d even tried to fight after they were on me, but that had just resulted in Damon laughing for 10 minutes after I had told him I felt like a harlot. I had been annoyed with him for laughing at me, until Elena and Bonnie had told me they’d never heard him so carefree.
I got him back of course, Elena and Bonnie had wanted a girly night after the thing with Stefan to introduce me to this era, so we’d watched the Twilight movies. We had spent half the night after that thinking of ways to link Damon to that Edward Cullen guy.

Damon let go of my hand as we got closer to a tree in the garden, and he started to unbutton his shirt. Immediately, I knew that Elena and Bonnie would kill me if I didn’t take this opportunity, so I covered my eyes and turned a little.
“Luce, sweetheart. What are you doing? You’ve seen me topless before.” Damon asked, confused.
“That was inside though. I don’t want to be blinded by your sparkling.” I replied, trying to keep a straight face.
“I-Wha- I’m going to kill those girls.” Damon spluttered. “You’re not watching any vampire things ever again.”
“Well, if you say so Dracula.” I giggled as Damon wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to the floor.
As I settled between his legs, leaning back against his chest, I heard him mumble, “I hate those girls.”
*
I laughed aloud, and Damon ran his fingers through my hair. We’d been sitting here for a few hours now, talking about nothing in particular. I’m sure he is just using it as an excuse to get me out of the home, away from the girls, and most importantly; away from Stefan. What Bonnie had said had been playing on my mind since we discussed it a few days ago. The next day I had gone downstairs to hear Bonnie telling Damon that I was the only one who could save Stefan. He hadn’t even listened to her after that. I was going to though, I’d decided this morning when Damon and I had been down to the dungeons to make sure Stefan hadn’t done something stupid. The pain in Damon’s eyes was so obvious. I hated it. Elena missed him too. She was so in love with him, I knew she just wanted her Stefan back.
“We need to talk to Bonnie.” I started.
“No.”
“Damon. I heard what she said to you. I can help your brother.” I explained.
“No.”
“Damon, you’re being absurd. Don’t you want your brother back?”
“Not like this.”
“Bonnie said I was the only was to help him. there is no other way.” I reasoned.
“No.”
“But, Damon-”
“No, Luce. You are not doing this.”
“But-”
“Do you even know how you’re supposed to help him?” Damon sneered as he moved to stand up.
I stayed on the floor, looking up at him as he paced angrily.
“To save Stefan you have to let him bite you. I have to let him bite you. He could kill you, Luce.” Damon stopped pacing and looked down at me. “I will never let that happen, no matter the consequences.”
Before I could answer he had stormed off, leaving me wishing I had never said anything to ruin our perfect moment.
***
Later that day, I was sitting on Elena’s little brothers bed. I had originally gone around to speak to Elena, but Jeremy had informed me she was out. He must have seen I was a little upset as he had insisted I come in to wait for Elena. He’d shown my a few of his drawings, and attempted to teach me how to play a video game. That hadn’t gone too well at all. So, now we were sitting on his bed, side by side as I told him about my discussion with Damon.
“I can see where he’s coming from.”
“What? How?”
“He’s just trying to protect you. You died, so he knows what it feels like to lose you. I think he just doesn’t want that to happen again.” Jeremy explained.
“Maybe so, but he’s doing it at the expense of his brother.”
“Stefan’s gone all ripperish on us before and we’ve had to deal with Katherine in the midst of that. We can deal with this.”
“What about Elena? This is effecting her too.” I asked, remembering to ask Damon about this Katherine.
“Look, it kills me to see my sister upset, but unfortunately there’s not much I can do except be here for her when she needs me. Elena has decided to live with the fact that she loves a vampire, and that means even when he is evil. She knows what she has gotten herself into. I wish she hadn’t gotten herself into it sometimes, but I suppose they are really in love.”
“That’s exactly why I need to do this!”
“No.” I heard Elena say, Jeremy and I both looked up at his door where Damon and Elena were standing. “Stefan and I have had our time. I know what it’s like to really love someone, I don’t think I could bear to lose Stefan. We all see the love in Damon’s eyes, they way he is around you. I’ve never seen Damon act this way before. That is real, true, gut wrenching love. Damon’s already lost you once. I won’t let him lose you again. I won’t let you die, and leave Damon just to help Stefan. We will find another way.”
