Emma ignored the pain in her limbs as she got up and backed away from the doorway. The impact had caused one of the straps of her dress to snap. She wrapped an arm around her chest, holding the dress up. The man stepped into the dim light of the living room.
"Damon, what the fuck!" Emma cried.
His face was unreadable. Even Emma couldn't tell what he was feeling. He stepped closer. "You kidnapped Elena today," he said.
" I didn't," she hissed, looking for a cloth to place on the reopened cut on the back of her head.
" Well you helped to!" He raised his voice.
Emma was perplexed. Was this how he treated her after not letting Elena feel any pain. She asked softly,"Why are you here Damon?"
He stepped forward. " You knew what Elena meant to me." His voice was eerily calm. The tone sent a shiver through her body. " And yet you let Kai hurt her. Torture her."
But I didn't.
"I thought of you as a friend Emma and you–"
" But I didn't let–"
He put a finger up, not letting her complete the sentence. " No, you don't get to speak after what you've done. " He towered over her. Emma took a step back.
Why is he here ?
She tried generating magic but was still weak and exhausted from earlier. She swore under her breath.
" We were friends once. That was a long time ago," said Damon.
She stepped back until he had her pressed against a wall. He reeked heavily of alcohol.
" Damon are you drunk?"
He didn't answer her question. He stared at her, those blue eyes piercing into her. It was frightening her. She moved to push him off her when he caught her hands and pinned them above her head.
" Damon, let go off me." She squirmed. His grip on her was strong. Damn vampire strength.
" You're working with Kai," he said. "I can't have you running around, hurting everyone I care about."
Emma thought she saw guilt on his face but it quickly vanished. His body pressed against her own. The smell of alcohol pervaded the space between them. It brought back bad memories.
" Please," she pleaded.
" Leave Kai. Help us stop him. You-"
" No." It only fueled his anger. His grip on her hands tightened.
" He's going to merge with Jo. Then when he wins he'll kill the entire coven. "
" Since when do you care about the coven?" She spat. Emma hated the gemini coven herself. They'd killed her brother.
" I don't. Jo is my bestfriend's Fiancée."
Emma didn't know that. She hid her suprise well. " What do you want me to do about it?"
" Convince Kai to not merge with Jo," Damon began. " You know- "
Images of her brother dying in her arms flashed in her mind. "I will do no such thing," she said. " I could've convinced Kai to leave you and Elena out of it but you've made it clear that we're not friends anymore. So don't expect any sort of help."
Anger flared in his eyes. Emma ignored it as she gritted her teeth and said, " Now let go of me."
He made no move. Her wrists were beginning to hurt. "Damon you're hurting me."
Damon looked away, the anger in his eyes vanishing and being replaced by something like remorse. " I'm... I'm sorry."
Emma stopped. Maybe he'd finally realised what he was doing. It wasn't like him to barge in and threaten her. Emma sighed as she said, " It's alright, just let go off me."
His grip on her hand loosened but then he had her by the shoulders as he vamp sped across the room, knocking the air out of her lungs as her body hit the wall hard. He grabbed her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.
Witches couldn't be compelled but since she had no magic right now she was as good as any human. Damon knew that.
" You're drunk. Please," Emma said. Her voice was small. She hated how powerless and weak she sounded. A tear slipped from her eye.
" If Kai is gonna hurt the people I care about then I'm going to take away the things he cares about."
Thing. He'd called her a thing. Was she not human enough for these people? Even after she'd helped Elena-
He cupped her face in one hand, forcing her to look him in the eye. He compelled, "You will convince Kai to not merge." He swallowed. "But if he does....you will kill yourself. Now. sleep."
