"Rapunzel?"
Damon stared at the woman he considered his sister, who he thought died a century ago, with wide eyes.
Rapunzel squinted her now flickering eyes up at Damon sitting up slowly; her hair being unusually heavy since she hasn't washed it in some years.
Where was I? Is that Damon? What is he doing here? Am I dead? I'm so thirsty...
Damon watched with watery eyes as Rapunzel gracefully stepped out of her coffin, using the walls to keep her balance as she glanced around the room before zeroing in on Damon who mirrored her shocked expression.
"Salva...Damo...Brother?" Rapunzel whispered, stumbling forward and into Damon's arms as she blacked out.
"It's me, baby sister, don't worry I've got you."
Damon hoisted Rapunzel up, carrying her bridal style; not even bothering to pick up her hair since it had gotten way longer than when he last saw it. He knew that she'd probably be pissed and probably force him to help her clean and brush out all the naps, but he couldn't be bothered with any of that right now. He had finally gotten his sister back.
Damon glanced down at Rapunzel, totally ignoring the alarmed look Elena sent him as he walked down the stairs with Rapunzel's hair dragging behind him.
"Damon, what are you doing? who is that? why do you always have to prove-" Elena was interrupted.
"Cram it, Elena, this isn't about you." Damon spits shocking the doppelganger, to which Stefan pushes her behind himself with narrowed eyes. "Oh give it up Stefan, if I wanted to kill your bi- girlfriend then she would be dead."
"What is this Damon? what games are you trying to get at?" Stefan accused refusing to believe that his so-called sister was alive; to which Damon rolled his eyes.
"I'm not playing any games with you Stefan, you were the one who told me she was dead. Looks like you have some explaining to do." Damon sneered, scowling at his brother before speeding away and into his car, softly sliding Rapunzel into the back seat.
He watched as the door snapped back open when he tried to close it and glanced down at her hair in annoyance, before groaning, "This is going to be a pain in my perky ass."

The next day after Damon dropped Elena off and completely ignored Stefan the whole ride home, even snapped his neck when Stefan tried to get Rapunzel out of the car and put her in a root cellar as Elenasuggested.

Damon glanced at the sleeping female laying in his bed. He winced at how the dirt caked up her once clear-melanated skin that always seemed to have this signature glow whenever she stood under the sun.
He knew better than to touch her through, of course, he wouldn't do anything to her but he knew she'd notice and would lecture him about feminism and how a man shouldn't get a say-so about a woman body and that a woman body is a temple, not a museum yatta yatta yatta.
Damon thinks she's one of the reasons why he didn't take advantage of anyone with compulsion, not that Rapunzel was back into the picture it was screw Elena now that he could see her for what she really was a two-faced bi-
Damon watched as Rapunzel stirred awake.
He didn't know what was up next in his life, but he knew that he'd be okay as long as he had Rapunzel by his side. He just hoped that he wouldn't disappoint her, nor betray her.
God have mercy on anyone who betrayed the queen.
Rapunzel snapped her eyes open; she felt as though her energy was overflowing and that could be either a good or a very bad thing.
The first thing she noticed was how dirty she felt and scrunched her face up in disgust, lightly scratching at her skin and shivering at the dirt under her fingertips.
Out of nowhere, she felt a wave of memories come over her to the time where she was taken in by the Salvatore to Stefan lying on her costing her hair, to yesterday night when Damon carried her into his car.
"Brother?" Rapunzel cheesed going to launch herself into Damon's arms only to be stopped when Damon made a noise of disagreement with his arms thrown out
"Look, Rapunzel- sister I love you and I missed you too.. but you stink! okay? Let's get you a bath or two.." Damon mumbled, speeding into his bathroom with Rapunzel on his heels.
Damon hissed after receiving a neck slap, "You didn't have to do me- I- you know what I meant!"
Rapunzel snatched the dress from her body while Damon was busy preparing her bath, she watched as he turned a knob and water poured from a faucet? she'd be sure to question him about that later.
"Okay, so all you have to do is get in and scrub yourself if you want to take a shower then turn this and unplug that- you can just wear one of my hoodies and boxers since we don't own any female clothing... I can have Caroline, Bonnie or Elena help you out with that later but for-WHERE ARE YOUR CLOTHES?" Damon shouted mid-rant, he would never admit it out loud but Rapunzel made him nervous.
Rapunzel waved him off, shoving him out of the bathroom before locking the door and hopping into the tub, she didn't even bother with her hair at the moment seeing as most of it was probably still piled upon Damon's bed.

Yes, this was boring, but I had to have a chapter explaining Damon's bond with Rapunzel. I can already see some of you shipping them and I wanted to clear the air that it will never happen.
Also, I don't know if you like Tyler and matt enough for upcoming scenes, so let me know what you think about them.
Screw Elena
I will be writing Kol, Elijah, Rebekah, Damon, Jeremy, Alaric (Jensen Ackles), Enzo and etc a romance piece whether it's in a separate book or in this one. If they do something that you do not agree with and it's important let me know.
With that being said let me know how you felt about this chapter I will be posting a follow-up chapter somewhere between later tonight and tomorrow.
