Sweet Talk

Damon's POV

It's been a few days since Damien came home and I can't help but get frustrated easily. He still won't come out and say what he's doing.

Mom and Dad's golden boy.

"Hey little brother, who's hot body is this?" He stands in my doorway with a phone in his hand, my phone.

"What the hell are you doing with my phone?!"

"It was annoying me, it kept vibrating and what not... soooo I opened it. You should really think about changing your password, mom's birthday, really?" He jokes.

I hop off the bed and punch him in the arm. "I hope you get hit by a bus one day." I snatch the phone back.

"You know you'd miss me, who else would torment you?" He shakes his head, rubbing his arm.

"You'd be surprised."

"Oh you have friends now?"

"Shut up!" I open up the message and see a curvy body posing in lingerie. "The hell?"

Lylah?

Demon: I thought you'd need a little distraction. :)

Oh she is so dead for this.

"You seem confused, have mom and dad not given you the big boy talk yet?"

"Would you get the fuck out!" I shove his shoulder.

"You're scarier than I remember?" He tilts his head in confusion.

"I'm... I've always been this way." I frown back at him.

"Hm maybe, y'know what, we should start fresh!"

"Start fresh? Why?"

"I'm making amends, We're both growing up, we should try to get along." He explains.

This could be another dumb prank, there was only a small chance he was serious.

"I'll think about it. I still don't trust you."

"I'll find a way to show you I'm serious, I think we can do it! Well I'm off to meet someone else I screwed over." He nods before walking out of my room.

Maybe... maybe he really wants to change.

Lylah's POV

"Isn't it kinda late to be in the park?" He asks as he walks up to me.

"No."

"Right, anyway I'm kinda happy you agreed to meet with me." He smiles brightly.

"So you could sweet talk your way out of trouble?"

"Trouble?"

"Did you forget what you did to me?"

"No that's actually why I'm here. I still feel terrible for what happened last year."

"Oh you feel terrible now?" I scoff.

"I'll explain, I started dating this girl and she got me saved, I started going to therapy and everything. So now I'm going to right my wrongs starting with you and my little brother."

"Really, wow that's great!" I pretend to be impressed.

"Yeah I asked the girl to marry me last month."

"Awe congratulations, I'm so proud of how much you've grown." I walk towards him with open arms.

"So does this mean I'm forgiven?" He questions as he bends to hug me.

"Hm... of course not." I growl, sliding the knife from my belt and into his stomach.

"L-lylah? What did you do?!" He chokes, falling to his knees.

"I warned you, if you came back here I would kill you." I could feel myself smiling even though tears started falling down my cheeks.

"I ch-changed." He fell over onto his side.

"I-I'm sorry but I have to do this."

"I understand."

Those were his last words before I stabbed him once more.
