Evolution- A TVD Fanfiction

4. Realization

He was taking a walk in the square of the town. He saw an Ice-cream stall. He went over and looked at the man who was filling an Ice-cream for another customer.

Damon- can I have some vanilla, strawberry and chocolate combination with cherry and few sprinkles, strawberry syrup will be great too.
Man- yeah, sure.
A kid or a pre-teen walked over.
Man- where the hell have you been wandering Steve?
Kid- around, about.
Man- go home and finish your work, I will be home late.
Kid- Really? You said we will have dinner together.
Man- I’m busy. Order something and don’t burn my house down.
Kid- if that gets you home then I promise I will burn your house down.
He left.
He handed ice cream to Damon.

He didn't liked the way kid was talking to the older man. Hey! He don't like kids, don't judge him for being himself. He looked at the man. He wouldn't be older than himself. He was curious why was the man letting the kid with this behavior go easily because he couldn't.

Damon- you’re too young to have a kid, you know?
Man- I know and that is little brother.
Damon- no mom and dad?
Man- mom is dead, dad is bad. I didn’t wanted my little brother to stay with that man, so I have his custody. But it gets hard to raise a teenager, I have to work hard.

Damon- he just left pouting.
Man- I know. He sometimes gets like this. He don’t care about needs, rent or anything, all he wants is me with him. But, it’s not his fault that he have to stay without his parents too young. He’s young, you know and every kid want, is their loved ones nearer. I’m all he’s got and it’s so normal if he ask for me.

Damon- you’ll need to settle down one day.
Man- I know. But he need me more than my need for family. He’s my responsibility right now and I don’t know anything else.
Damon- here. Thanks for the Ice cream.
He paid for the ice cream and he started to walk back home. Enough walk for one day.

He was just like that man once. But that was a long ago when he was young. Having Stefan in this era would have been difficult with that father. He, taking care of Stefan who would be in high school doing good knows what. D Stefan was surely a good boy but if his brother was born in this time, the case would have been contrary to what it once was. Man did had a point. Stefan was a kid when he did all those horrible things. He died at a young age where people used to screw around. He himself used to wander around and having fun with his friends. Wait! He don't have to think anything about this. He don't have to think about Stefan. He shouldn't because he don't want to turn it back on. He should undo all the feelings that are agitating inside him. He had to kill someone and then torture Stefan. That sounds good.

He found a girl and had a quick snack and groaned. He finished a bottle of bourbon at grill. Great. He had to go back to his new place now.

He walked to the cellar. What? Stefan haven't moved till now. He smirked if Stefan was just playing quiet.
Damon- Stefan. Stef!
He didn't got any response.
He patted his cheek to see Stefan’s head falling to the side. Suddenly his heart was racing. He didn’t turned it back on. This shouldn't be happening. His heard shouldn't race.

He had to feed blood to Stefan. He flashed upstairs and returned with a blood bag. He removed the ropes and laid Stefan on cold floor. This wasn’t suppose to happen. His head was screaming this things loudly. He put the blood bag in his mouth.

Damon- drink it, come on, drink Stefan.
Stefan wasn’t drinking.
Damon- drink it damn it!
Stefan wasn’t even moving. He had to do something. He injected blood in Stefan’s veins after carrying him up in a room and laying him on the bed.

Stefan haven’t moved at all. He was panicking right now. He didn’t wanted to kill his little brother. He would never do that to him. Damn it! Somehow, he was worried about him. Fresh tears made their way from his blue orbs. His once ice cold blue eyes, now warm. He can’t cry! He’s Damon freaking Salvatore!

He noticed that slowly color was coming to Stefan’s face. He sighed as relief spread through his body. Stefan was able to drink blood now. He hunted for Stefan and fed him. He was happy that Stefan could feed now. But the consciousness was still to gain.

He was downstairs heating the cup when he heard the noise from Stefan’s room. He rushed upstairs only to see Stefan’s old clothes there scattered across the floor. Stefan was gone. Really? What was up with him! Stefan was weak. A week vampire sneaked out behind his back. How can he let that happen?

He knew where Stefan was. He need to know whether he was okay or not. He walked out and get into his car. He drove to boarding house. He missed the place, somehow. Since he turned his humanity on, which was about two days ago when Stefan was dead in his cellar, he’s feeling too much, everything and most of it was, guilt.

How was his happening? Damon Salvatore never do guilt. He can't. That is more of a Stefan thing. But...this was not anyone else. Have Damon ever mentioned it how much Stefan was important to him in his past? Yeah, he did. Did he ever mentioned that he could never imagine a world without that kid who suffer dual personality disorder when pushed to edge? No! He didn't. Never. Why? Because again, he's Damon Salvatore who will dig a grave or stake himself for saying that out aloud.

He snapped out of his thoughts as boarding appeared within his eye sight

He entered the giant mansion and headed upstairs to Stefan’s room only to see him taking off his clothes.
Damon- Stefan!
Stefan’s body stiffened at the voice. He was scared of his brother and that would be the understatement of the century.

Stefan- da-damon.
Damon- you jumped out of there? Sneaking out? Really?
Stefan- ye-yeah.
Damon- show me your…
He tried to grab his jaw to inspect the scars that were still present on his little brother's face.

Stefan- don’t.
Damon- I’m sorry.
Stefan- please… I need to clean up.
Damon touched his shoulder. Stefan shoved his hand away.
Damon- are you okay?
Stefan- get out of my room.
He turned and closed the door of the bathroom with a bang.

Stefan was supposed to be this pissed at him. He almost died out of his brother’s hands, after being tortured for weeks by the said brother. He had to make up to his brother.
