Here We Go Again: TVD Doppelgänger #5

Goodbye Doppelgänger Part Two

"Damon."
"Hello Sky."
"Hi, who's this?"
"This is Marissa."
"Karen."
"Right Karen. Isn't she something?" He smirks before bitting into her neck.
"What're you doing?"
"I'm hungry and Karen wanted to help me out."
"Stefan wouldn't approve of this. And right in the middle of town?"
"I'm not killing her. Snatch, snack, heal and erase. As for everyone else, who cares."
"I see you've become reckless and you know the council knows about us."
"When were you all about morality anyways? You used to go out and hunt. Plus you left on our wedding day and made us all believe you'd died."
"I apologized countless times Damon. It's time you forgave me."
"I forgave you." I was shocked and it showed. "That doesn't mean I want anything to do with you."
"What about what you said yesterday?"
"I said I didn't know, the odds aren't in your favor."
"Right. Look, I'll leave and won't ever turn back if you tell me there's nothing here and will never be. Until then I want to make up for my mistakes. Just think about it, if you're really ready to lock us behind a door I understand." I'd gotten up from the bench and strut away.

Sky's Home
"Really?"
"He was my first love. You know this."
"Sure I do but you never seemed to want to come back."
"I don't know Lewis, I love him after everything."
"Do you? No offense Sky but this doesn't seem like you. The wife that lives in a small town. What would you even do?"
"Teaching always seemed interesting."
"A teacher? Come on Sky that'd last five years max. and then you'd be back where you were when you left the first time."
"It'd probably would only be for five years because we're vampires. People would start asking questions about the non aging teacher."
"Then where would you go?"
"There's a whole world out there Lewis. We haven't been everywhere, and I know Damon would go with me."
"And everyone else? Damon's a family man."
"They all travel together."
"But they've been everywhere."
"They have to make their rounds eventually."
"Sky, I don't see an ending where you both don't resent each other later."
"Look you and I have traveled far and we've been together almost three hundred years. How come we can make it but him and I can't?"
"You really want him?"
"I do."
"Then let's make this happen."

"You're what?"
"Caroline, I know I messed up big time."
"Big time? Major! We all had to take care of him for three hundred years because you ruined him! Tyler and I forgave you, obviously because we're best friends, but what you did was an all time low. Why would you do that to him again?"
"I love him. I'm beyond stupid for not realizing that before, but I only want him Care for eternity."
"Seriously? No running? Ever?"
"I swear if I do, you get to hunt me down and rip my heart out."
"There won't be any need because I trust you. Now let's get you married."

Next Morning
"Good morning Damon."
"What're you doing here at seven in the morning Sky?"
"I figured it's a lovely day and I woke up three hours ago so maybe I could make you breakfast."
"Oh don't worry I've eaten." From around the door Damon pulls out a young woman with similar features to me.
"Seriously Damon?" He rolls his eyes at me and compels the girl to believe she had a one night stand with some random person from a bar and woke up alone in the woods.
"Why are you still here?"
"Breakfast."
"Why don't you make Caroline and Stefan breakfast?"
"Because I already did."
"So you're feeding the entire town breakfast?"
"It's the most important meal of the day."
"Goodbye Skylar."
"Wait!" I stopped the door. "Fine I came for more than just breakfast."
"I knew it. What is it then?"
"You didn't give me an answer yesterday."
"What was the question."
"Are you ready to turn your back on us?"
"Waffles."
"Huh?"
"I want waffles for breakfast." He finally moved aside so I could enter and we walked to the kitchen.

"Still haven't gotten bored of the waffles?"
"It's the only thing that kept me sane in the..."
"The prison world. You told me that story and how you and Bonnie became very close and she saved you."
"You remembered?"
"Of course I did. I remember your life story because I did and I still love you. No matter what."
"Sure you love me but you didn't love me enough." We both fell silent.

"Strawberries?" I finally asked.
"Right here and whipped cream." He sprayed it in my face.
"Oh you're so dead! Give me that bottle."
"You'll have to catch it." He used his vampire speed to hide in the house. I wipe my face with a rag and rushed after him.

"Damon come here!" I zoom in and out of every room. Eventually I use my hearing to listen for his heart beat. "Gotcha!" He sprays more whipped cream on my head. "Damon!" I scooped the topping on my head and flung it right into his face. Skillfully I stole the spray from him  and drenched him.
"Well I guess we won't be having whipped cream on our waffles.
"Tragic." I laugh before trying to give him a hand with the mess. I grabbed another towel from his bathroom and wipe his face. My movements were slow and our eyes were locked together. My hand led the towel softly over every inch of his face, eventually falling to the ground.

"No."
"No?" I question Damon. Out of the blue in our silence he finally spoke.
"You wanted an answer. No I am not ready to close the door on us." I searched his eyes for a sign of regret, and when I found none he devoured me in our first kiss in three hundred years. He pushes me up against the counter and I am lifted on it as he runs kisses and nibbles down my neck. I wanted him, he was the blood my thirst was painfully begging for. We vamp speed across the entire bathroom before ending up in bed, completely nude.

"If we're going to do this, I want to do it from where we left off." Damon huffs as he's on top of me.
"Are you saying?"
"Skylar, will you marry me for real this time?"
"Yes!" We finally gave into our desires and spent the whole rest of the day making up for lost time. I am the fifth doppelgänger, and the next Mrs. Damon Salvatore.
