Heaven and Hell (S.S)

The Last Minutes

Caroline held up a few gifts while i was sitting on the sofa getting drunk. She was gladly taking over for me.

Caroline " Let's make sure we all get back to the spirit of Christmas. At the heart of it is forgiveness. So, Matt. Peter."

She walked to them and handed each one a present.

Peter " Thanks."

I put the bottle on the table and stood up.

I fake smiled at Sybil"My Mama taught me that Christmas is the time of peace..."

I grabbed a present and handed it to her.

She smiled and took it "Thank you"

Then i turned to Damon "Don't think i've forgotten you, Damon"

Damon fake smiled back "how could i?"

I grabbed the smallest present and walked to him "Now, this one... is for you. Even though we've had our moments, I know that there is a future you that is going to ask for my forgiveness one day. This is for that guy. The guy who was once my best friend. My brother"

I handed it to him.

Damon took it " Anyway... "

He cleard his throat and walked into the middle of the room " I'm sure you're all asking yourselves why I barged in tonight. Relax. I come bearing a gift. Now, unfortunately, I'm only gonna be able to give it to the most despicably evil person in the room, and that's gonna be a tough decision. But tonight, one lucky little elf is gonna get an all-expense paid, one-way trip, straight to hell. Meaning, I'm gonna kill one of you. Let's eat.

I sighed annoyed. More dead people.

Dinning room.

We were all sitting at the table.

How i wish that my man wasn't dead right now.

I took a sip of my bourbon. Even though Stefan really made an effort to do this all i wasn't feeling like eating. At least not human food. I was sitting at the head of the table, since Stefan was dead, and Caroline at the other end. Sybil and Damon were next to each other on one side and Damon and Peter next to each other on the other side.

Damon " It's really quite simple. I chase the evil in people, so if they are wicked, immoral, corrupt, foul, nefarious, et cetera, I kill them."

I looked at Peter and saw him eating the gratin potatoes.

Me "These are the gratin potatoes. Stefan made them. They're a Salvatore recipe."

He smiled nodding "they are good"

I smiled "Thanks"

Damon looked around "Hey, where the hell is Ric? What was he, reading the dictionary to those girls?"

Caroline "You are not going to kill Ric... or anybody else."

Me "She's right We are just going to sit here and enjoy this nice dinner just like Stefan wanted."

Damon suddenly slammed the knife through the bread making the table shake. Everybody but me, Damon and Sybil flinched and turned to him.

Damon looked around fake surprised " What? Was just breaking some bread."

Matt "Why are you doing this?"

Sybil " It's kind of his job."

Matt "To murder innocent people?"
