The prophecy ~1864~

Chapter 10

Damon stared intently at Emily, "What did you say?" he growled.

"Your brother is in grave danger, he must not meet with Valarie at any cost." Emily said in a panic.

"But she said he has a kid? What is going on Emily?" Damon asked wide eyed.

"There is no child Master Salvatore, Valarie is not human." Emily said as she rushed around the room.

"So, she's a vampire? Well that's okay its not like we don't know how to kill them..." Damon said placing his hand over his heart, making a sarcastic gasp.

"Master Salvatore, Valarie is much more than just a vampire. From the crystal it shows that she was sent by your mother to watch Stefan, she was never supposed to sleep with him. There was indeed a child created. But the child has been taken from this world. I am sorry. There is nothing that can be done about that. However, your brother is in danger, Valarie is coming for him, she is under the control of another vampire, your mothers partner, Julien." Emily said frantically. Elena gasped.

"Poor Stefan! He thinks that the child is real. Emily please how can we save him?" Elena begged.

"We have to kill Valarie, this Julien wants your brother dead, he believes that with Stefan still alive your mother will never truly be his." Emily sighed.

"Why does he only want Stefan?" Damon asked curious.

"He believes that Stefan is the key to your mother's humanity." Emily explained.

Damon's eyes went wide. "He's her trigger?"

"Yes." Emily nodded sadly.

"Can you find this Valarie? Like did you see where she was?" Damon asked seriously.

"From the crystal it looks like she is about three days west, but I warn you, she is powerful. She is not a normal vampire, she is what they call a Heretic. Half witch, half vampire." Emily cringed.

"That's impossible, witches can't be vampires they lose their power." Damon sneered.

"Normal witches, yes. But syphon's, they must take magic to make magic, as a vampire Valarie has a constant source of magic in her blood, making her and her kinds nearly invincible." Emily said with fear deep in her voice.

Elena felt her blood run cold, this was getting serious. "Emily how do you kill a Heretic?" she asked concerned.

"The same way you kill any vampire." Emily explained.

"Okay, so the plan would be then, Elena you are going back to the house with Malcom, Emily and I are headed west, I will send a letter with you to father explaining the situation, under no circumstance do you let anyone in the house, you hear me? Not even me okay." Damon said putting his hands on either side of Elena's face and kissing her passionately.

"Damon... please, please be safe. I can't stand to lose you again." Elena said tears threatening to fall.

"You won't." He said as he grabbed a paper and quill and wrote a quick letter to his father and Stefan.

Dear Father,

I have gone with Emily to save Stefan, yesterday Stefan received a letter stating that he was a father, curious and concerned for his wellbeing, I asked Emily to see his future. Father a vampire is tricking him, and she is on her way to kill him as we speak. Emily and I have headed west to kill the creature before it gets to him. Please take care of Elena for me.

Your son,

Damon

P.S. Please tell Stefan that the letter he received was not true, the son that Valarie had has left this world, tell him I am sorry.
