Inaction's and Consequences

Chapter 48

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to The Vampire Diaries, TV show or books. However I decided to have a little play around with the characters (I would definitely like to play with Damon).

Three weeks later, Damon was alone, sat on the couch in the parlor, with a glass of whiskey in his hand. Bonnie had finally forgiven him and Elena for the little orgasm in the middle of the club issue. From what Damon could work out, Bonnie could tell they genuinely didn't think it would affect her. However, she thought having perfectly normal post feed sex at a club wasn't entirely what she believed to be normal at all. Initially Damon had found it hilarious that Bonnie had been writhing around in the booth having the best orgasm of her life, Elena on the other hand hadn't found it funny at all. This had resulted in a huge row and a sex ban for twenty four hours, after which Damon thought he was going to go stir crazy. He was beginning to wonder how the hell he'd gone celibate for those few months between Andie and Rebekah, when now one day without Elena nearly killed him.

Eventually after much apologizing, Bonnie had agreed to go with them to a club again, but this time Stefan joined them to supervise Bonnie while Caroline supervised Damon and Elena. They finally found the formula which cause the issue. Simultaneous feeding from the same source connected all three of them. They suspected it was the baby sharing the power of the feed with Bonnie even if she wasn't there, which also linked her to every sensation Damon and Elena experienced. The feeding issue also included third party feeding. If one was feeding from the prey, they couldn't feed from each other at the same time as they often did. This was because they were simultaneously receiving nourishment from the same source. Once they'd established the protocol, Damon and Elena were free to feed without the pressure of their friends watching. Instead they'd taken to feeding separately and thus were able to have post feed sex.

While Damon was in the parlor drinking, Stefan was at school helping Caroline set things up for the graduation ceremony, and Elena was upstairs getting ready with Bonnie, which meant no shower sex, which in turn made Damon feel very grumpy. If it wasn't for the fact it would piss Elena off and guarantee no sex for at least forty eight hours, he'd be ready to kill a teacher or two for allowing Bonnie to get ready at the boarding house and in his and Elena's bedroom. On the plus side, after the party they would have all summer to have plenty of sex and cuddling (the latter Damon had suddenly become a huge fan of, especially since Elena had fallen pregnant), while they went house hunting near Whitmore College, because at least the Travelers wouldn't find them there.

Out of the blue, Damon started to feel uncomfortable with the notion Silas and the Travelers gone completely underground. Although they didn't have the power to kill the baby just yet, he got the sudden feeling that there was no reason for them not to kidnap at least one of them, and Mystic Falls was still the most obvious place to look, especially once the Travelers had realized they weren't in Seattle. Damon had no idea why, but he was now on edge.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, which caused Damon to jump. Nobody ever knocked, they usually just walked right in, this automatically put Damon on an even higher alert than he had been already. He text Elena to listen out in case there were any problems, before he went to answer the door.

Damon opened the large wooden front door, only to find a small woman on the other side. She appeared to be in her early fifties with dark hair, which had gray streaks in it.

"I'm sorry, but if you're trying to sell us something, don't bother, we've already got it. Including religion, it's called whiskey." Damon smiled sarcastically, raising his glass as proof before he attempted to close the door, however the woman stopped him.

"I've got a little message for you. It's from Silas." the woman said as she lifted a gun and shot Damon in the shoulder. The force of the bullet made Damon to stagger backwards, groaning in pain. He'd only seen one gun which could shoot wooden bullets like that before, Connors.
