You Are Worth Saving {COMPLETED ✔️}

Sixty-Seven

Abby

All of a sudden, I feel how Damon tenses. He lets go of me and walks around me. I get confused and look at him. I see how he walks into Jeremy's room. "Wait, how can it be in Jer's room?" I ask him with a small laugh.

But Damon stays serious. He opens a few drawers and looks around. Then he opens a small box. It is Jeremy's jewelry box. Not that he wears much jewelry, but he has a few he got from dad.

Damon gasps and grabs something out of the box. I want to ask what is going on... Until I see what he is holding...

My entire body freezes all over again. I start to shiver and my head starts to spin. Damon holds a necklace. Not just any necklace. It's the necklace similar to the one doctor Martin had...

"D-Damon..." I say. My mouth dries out. I want to ask so many questions, but I can't. I just can't...

Damon looks from the necklace at me. He doesn't know what to say either. "Damon... Is that what I think it is?" I ask him. Damon puts Jeremy's jewelry box away and walks towards me. "Yes, it is," he says. My breathening quickens. "How did you know it was there?" I ask. "I didn't," he says. "Wait, is this what you came for?" I ask.

Damon stares into my eyes. He stays quiet for a moment, but then nods. I start to shake. "Why?" I ask. But when Damon thinks of an answer, the puzzle in my head is already complete.

"That's where you were, weren't you?" I ask him, "you didn't just leave town. You went after him. Did he get hands on you?" Damon puts the necklace in his pocket and looks at me. "Abby, listen to me," he says, but I shake my head. "No, answer me!" I say.

Damon breathes heavy. "I can't tell you," he says. I get confused. "You can't tell me? Why? Why can't you just tell me where you've been?" I ask. Damon looks around. "Damon!" I say. He sighs and grabs my arm. He pulls me into my room and closes the door. He walks over to my window and closes my curtains as well. 

"Damon, what..." I start. Damon walks back to me and shushes me. "Listen to me," he whispers, "we're probably being watched." I get scared, "what? By who?" Damon shakes his head, "isn't important."

"Just listen to me, okay?" he asks. I nod. "I found doctor Martin," he says. My jaw drops. I want to ask so many questions, but I told him I would listen, so I stay quiet. "He was smarter than I was. He kidnapped me again and put me in a cell all over again," he says. It feels like I could hear my heart break.

Damon was captured again? But where? And how?

"He tortured me a bit, but now he needed a new cure. The one in this necklace. I had to get it and bring it to him. That's why I need to go back," he says. I get confused, "why do you need to go back? Just stay with me. We will get him together."

Damon shakes his head. "He injected me with a virus. It will kill me in a few hours, so I need to get back to him," he says. I sigh, doctor Martin is smart indeed...

"Then just tell me where it is. I will alarm Liz and we can come get you," I tell him. He shakes his head again. "I can't. If he knows I told someone, he will kill you," he says. I get even more confused. "How can he know?" I ask. Damon sighs, "Katherine helps him..."

My jaw drops. "Katherine? But..." I start, but Damon stops me. "Katherine will watch any one of you. If she finds out I told anyone of you, she will kill you," he says. I sigh and look down.

Damon puts his hand on my cheek and turns my face to look at him. "We will find a way," he says. I shake my head, "you can't go back there." I feel tears burning behind my eyes all over again. Damon has been captured by the devil on earth and I had no idea...

"I have no choice, baby," he says. I close my eyes and tears roll down my cheeks. Damon leans in and kisses my lips. "I will make it back to you, I promise," he says. I shake my head and open my eyes again. "Let me safe you," I tell him.

Damon goes with his hand through my hair. "I would never put you in that kind of danger just to safe me," he says. He leans in again and kisses my head. "I love you," he says.

He takes a step back and walks to my door. I stand up and walk with him. "I can just follow you," I tell him. Damon shakes his head, "no you won't."

I cross my arms. "Yes, I will. There is nothing you can do to stop me," I tell him. Damon walks back to me and puts his hands on my cheeks. "Don't do it, Abby. You won't make it out of there alive," he says.

"I did it before," I tell him. "I am not taking that chance," he says. "Well I am," I tell him, "if that means I can free you." Damon shakes his head, "no way!"

"Damon, let me safe you," I say. "You can't. He is too smart," he says. Before I can say anything else, Damon presses his lips on mine. I feel how his hands go down my arms, to my hands.

He breaks our kiss and grabs my wrists. "Damon..." I start, but Damon just shushes me. He pulls me with me to my chair. "Sit down," he says. I get confused, but sit down in the chair. Damon quickly grabs something from my desk and lets go of me.

"What are you doing?" I ask. "Give me your wrists," he says. I see the serious look in his eyes and reach my wrists out to him. He grabs them, brings them to the armrest of my chair. Before I realise what he is doing, he ties my wrists together to the armrest. "Damon!" I shout, but he steps back from me.

My arms are tied up to the armrest. I can't move them and I can't get them free. "What are you doing?" I ask him. "Now I am sure you won't follow me," he says.

"You are such an asshole! Let me safe you!" I shout. Damon shakes his head and walks towards me again. He puts his hand on my cheek and kisses my lips.

When he moves away, he looks away from me. "Damon, untie me!" I tell him, but he isn't listening to me.

With a worried look in his eyes, he looks back at me. He squads down in front of me and shushes me. I want to tell him to untie me, but then he taps at his ear.

I get confused. Who could be listening? But then it hits me, Katherine... Damon puts both his hands on my cheeks. "Look at me," he says. Wait, is he gonna compel me? But I am on Vervain...

I see how his pupils grow and shrink again. "You forget everything I told you today. All you know is that I left town," he says. I want to stop him. I can't be compelled right now, what is he doing?

But then I realise, Katherine will think he compelled me. She will not know that I know the truth so she won't come after me.

"You won't look for me. You will go on with your life and be happy. But not with Luke," he says. I have to stop myself from laughing. Typical Damon!

"You won't think twice about me, until I get back. But in the meantime, you watch out for Katherine," he says. He smiles wide and cares my cheek. "I love you, Abby," he says.

He kisses my head and stands up. 'I love you too,' I mouth him. Damon smiles. He walks towards me and grabs my phone out of my pocket. He starts typing something and then turns it to me.

Hey Jer, can you please come home? I don't feel so safe anymore.

He looks at me, asking me if it's okay, without using words. I smile and nod, so Damon sends it to Jeremy. He puts my phone at my desk and looks at me one last time.

'Be careful' I mouth to him. He smiles and nods, 'you too.' He walks to my door and walks out of my room. Without saying another word, he closes the door behind him.
