Damon Salvatore One Shots

I'm So Sorry

'One more step and she dies.'

I was currently in Kai's grip as he was pressing a knife against my lower back as my boyfriend, Damon Salvatore stood in front of us, fear in his eyes.

I had been Damon's girlfriend for two years and the four months in which I thought he was dead had absolutely broken me. When he came back, I was the first person he looked for and we were finally reunited, however, it was very short lived as Kai also managed to make his way out of the prison world and held a grudge against Damon for leaving him behind, leading to where we are now.

'Kai, come on, we can sort this out another way,' Damon said, not moving a muscle, his eyes trained on me.

'Oh, but Damon, by involving (Y/N), this is the only way I can truly hurt you, by killing her that is. Really Damon, you of all people had to fall in love with a human, you've made it too easy for me.'

As soon as the words left his mouth, Damon automatically made to step towards me, to rescue me.

'Ah, ah, ah,' Kai teased, dragging me backwards by my hair.

'Hurt her and I swear to God Kai, I will kill you,' Damon said, clenching his fists.

'Okay, okay, I won't kill her,' Kai said and myself and Damon both visibly relaxed. 'Well I mean I won't kill her straight away.'

I felt the knife dig into my back, causing me to whimper. I looked over at Damon and I could see the pain in his eyes.

'No, that would be way to easy. You take another step Damon and this blade goes into her back, ensuring that she dies a slow and painful death.'

'Kai, please, come on, leave her out of this,' Damon begged.

I had never seen this side of Damon, never seen him so scared. He was usually so laid back about everything so seeing him like this terrified me.

'Damon,' I said as calmly as I could. His gaze moved from Kai to meet my eyes. There was a wild look in his eyes that was a mix of fear, rage and helplessness, 'Damon, it's okay, I'm okay,' I told him, trying my best to hide the fear in my voice.

'(Y/N), I'm so sorry,' Damon said.

'Aww, well isn't this sweet,' Kai interrupted, 'now if I'm not mistaken, (Y/N), you don't have any vampire blood in your system, do you?'

When I didn't answer, he yanked my hair and pressed the knife harder against my back, causing me to arch my back.

'No,' I whispered.

'That's right, because the great Damon Salvatore didn't want to risk changing precious little human. Surely you'd feed her a little of your blood as a safety precaution.'

Me and Damon had had this conversation countless times. He was adamant that he wouldn't change me because he didn't want to change who I am, didn't want to see me in pain.

Damon didn't say anything, instead he was staring straight ahead, not quite looking at me but the expression of self-loathing on his face was one that I had seen way too many times and I hated that he wore it now.

'Not going to say anything?' Kai asked.

I tried to pull against his grip to reach my boyfriend, to run up to him and hold him, just like he had done to me so many times, letting him know that everything was going to be okay.

Everything was slow motion from there.

I saw Damon's eyes filling with panic as he shouted.

'NO!'

The next thing I know is a sharp pain in my side and Damon was next to me in an instant and Kai was gone. Damon was holding me in his arms as he started to lower me to the ground.

'Oh God, (Y/N), no, please, no,' was all he could say as he pressed his hand against the wound trying to stop the bleeding.

'Damon,' I said, placing one hand on top of his and the other on his face, making him look at me, 'hey, it's going to be okay, you're going to be okay.'

'(Y/N), I can't live without you, if you die, I'm following you straight away!'

I used what little strength I had to pull myself up with my arms around his neck and he immediately wrapped his arms around my waist, supporting me.

'Damon Salvatore, you will not. You're going to carry on living, you'll fall in love again and you're going to be happy,' he immediately started to shake his head, 'besides, there is a way we can prevent this and you know it.'

As soon as I said this, I saw his face screw up as more tears fell from his eyes.

'(Y/N). I can't-'

'Yes you can,' I interrupted, 'Damon you said that you wouldn't do it until it was the last minute, I'm pretty sure this qualifies as the last minute.' I felt Damon's arms tighten around me. He looked away, wiped his eyes, lowered me back down and pressed a hand against my face, stroking my cheek with his thumb.

'My beautiful (Y/N),' he whispered before leaning down to kiss me. The kiss was sweet and I felt his tears on my cheeks.

'I love you so much,' he said before biting his wrist and holding it to my lips.

As soon as my lips pressed against his wrist, his head dropped and he closed his eyes. I felt his blood drip down my throat and I closed my eyes too. For the whole time, Damon was running his fingers through my hair, trying to calm us both.

When he pulled his wrist away, he shifted so he was cradling my body in his.

'Go to sleep, (Y/N), when you wake up everything will be okay, I promise,' Damon said gently, still playing with my hair.

I closed my eyes and let sleep take over me, knowing that when I wake up, I'm going to be facing an eternity with the man I love.

'I love you Damon Salvatore.'

The last thing I felt was his lips pressed against mine.
