"You don't have to do this Damon, " I whispered, caressing his chiseled jaw.

"I have to. For you, and for our unborn child, " he replied.

I looked at the clock, it was almost twelve in the afternoon. Distress was written all over my face. What if he takes complete control? What if he doesn't give back control?

I felt a familiar hand on my face; Damon's. Leaning in to his touch, I couldn't help but wonder if I would ever get to feel this again.

"You can do this, my love. Just talk to him, and come to an agreement."

He looked at me, then at my stomach before saying, " If he tries to hurt you, stab him with this." he placed a dagger in my hand.

I shot him a shocked look. "I can't hurt you. No! I won't do it, " I protested, trying to give the dagger back to him.

He looked at the clock, and back at me.

"You have to, " he started in a calm tone.

"For our unborn child, " he added.

I painfully nodded. For our child. That gave me the courage I needed.

The clock struck twelve. I kept my eyes on Damon, not wanting to miss anything. My entire body was high on alert. One second, two seconds, three seconds, nothing happened.

It started with a twitch, then his body started distorting, giving rise to....him.

There was no physical difference between Damon, and Aldrich, except for their eyes. My Damon had beautiful blue eyes, while Aldrich had stormy grey eyes, cold and calculating.

For a few seconds he stared at me, and I stared right back, putting on a facade of bravery, but inside of me, dread flows through every vessel in my body.

"Do you think that you can protect yourself with that?" he mocked, pointing at the dagger I secured behind me.

My expression gave away how surprised I was. How did he know about that?

In a span of seconds, I was pressed up against the wall with both of my hands above my head, and the dagger now in his hands.

My chest rose up, and down quickly due to how fast my heart was beating.

I felt fingers trail up my thighs. He smirked, staring at my breasts before saying, " Damon has had his fun. It's my turn now."
