Chapter 1
Raina POV
I sit in my old room hugging my legs close to me as I look out the bay window. I couldn't believe what had just happened. Stefan almost gave his life to keep Elena's aunt alive, Niklaus completed the cure he's been trying to lift for so long and Damon is dying from a werewolf bite and everyone is just graving the loss of Jenna and a Gilbert.
I scoff and hug my legs closer to me.. I'm gonna lose my favorite brother and I almost lost both. And all because of some stupid human girl! I feel my fist clench as I walk downstairs just to see Damon throw his ring to the floor causing me to speed to him throwing him to the ground under me.
"Let me go." He says and I shake my head.
"You're not doing this! You're not doing this to me Damon! You can't.. if you're gonna die then you're gonna spend every second with me! You can't just leave me!" I yell at him feeling the tears fall as I look into his eyes.
"Please.. we'll find something.. I can't let you die." I cry clenching his shirt as I hit my head to his chest.
"Please don't leave." I mumble and I feel him hug me closer to him.
"I can't let you die just because you were so stupid and reckless, and all because of a girl.. why did you have to fall in love all over again? Why couldn't you just stay with me like you were suppose to before you disappeared?" I mumbled and he hugs me tight.
"I'm sorry." Damon says to my ear and as he does he runs to the sun again just for Stefan to knock him down again as I cried following them down to the cellar as Stefan leaves.
"Why?" I ask leaning against the door between us and I feel Damon lean against it as well from the other side.
"I don't want to die like this." I hear him whisper and I sob.
"I don't want you to die.. Damon I can't live without you. I can handle living without Stefan as harsh as that sounds but not you.. Damon you aren't just my brother you're also my best friend in this whole world. You understand me, you don't judge me, you don't try to change me.. Damon I don't want to lose you." I say sliding down the door hugging my knees sobbing.
"Ray please don't cry." I hear him say making me sob again.
"How do you not want me to cry? Damon I love you! I don't want to lose you!" I yell sobbing harder.
"I... I love you too Raina." I sob just as I here someone upstairs and run there to see Alaric.
"What are you doing here?" I ask him and his eyes soften when they look at me.
"Stefan told me to tell you that he may have found something." Alaric says as I clean my tears.
"And what's that?" I ask trying to keep my voice emotionless.
"Klaus.. he may have something." Alaric says making me look at him wide eyes.
"What? Where is he?" I ask.
"At my house.." He says before telling me his address and I was out. I honestly got lost once or twice but finally made it to see the door closed so I knocked cleaning the tears as much as I could when the door opened to reveal Klaus.
"Love? What are you doing here?" He asked as my eyes land behind him to see Stefan.. blood running down his chin and Katherine as her eyes widen at the sight of me.
"Be straight with me and tell me if you know a cure for a werewolf bite." I say looking up at Klaus.
"And why would you be interested in that love?" He says with his famous smirk as he got closer to me caressing my cheek like he always did.
"Because of the same reason he's here." I say pointing at Stefan as he looked confused.
"Look Niklaus.. I loved you with all my heart and if you really loved me just a little bit you'll give me that cure.. because if you don't I.. I will end my life and you really won't ever see me again." I say and his eyes widen before he turns to look at Stefan.
"You fell in love with his brother?" He asked suddenly mad and I shake my head.
"You have it wrong Nik.. I never judged you for what you did to your siblings, I helped you, I was by your side no matter what.. I know you want to protect your siblings so let me do the same for mine... Please." I say letting my tears fall and I bite my lip breaking eye contact with him.
"Because if you don't I won't be able to live without my older brother." I say cleaning my tears trying to calm down.
"You'll have the other." He says and I chuckle.
"Yes well out of the two only one is my real best friend and gets me without judging me.. you know how that goes." I say and he takes a breath his hand never leaving my cheek until now.
"Fine.. but on one condition." He says and I look at him.
"Something tells me Stefan is already paying for it." I say crossing my hands.
"Yes darling but I really need something from you." He says and I sigh.
"Fine.. what is it?" I ask and before I knew it his lips were on mine making me sigh in the kiss and wrap my hands around his neck pulling on his hair like I always did kissing back until he pulled back.
"For you to forgive me love." He says and I sigh.
"Fine.. but you can't expect us to be together again all of a sudden. I won't make it easy for you." I say and he nods.
"I'll take that." He says walking back inside and taking a jar before biting his wrist and letting the blood fall in it and closing it handing it to Katherine telling her she could go, I gave Stefan a small nod before running after her to make sure she gave Damon the cure just to find Elena with him after Katherine gave him the cure and ran off to god knows where.
"Great look who's here." I roll my eyes looking at Elena up and down before walking to Damon.
"Hey.. how are you feeling?" I ask him caressing his cheek.
"Did you seriously let Stefan give himself to Klaus?" Damon asked glaring at me making me sigh.
"He had already done it when I got there.. I didn't get off the hook either.." I say looking down.
"What did he made you do?" He asked and I look into his eyes which reflected mine.
"He made me forgive him.. forgive him for what he did and he kissed me. I know you'll say that's not as bad but imagine your dear Elena cheating on you with the guy who she has said is only a friend after she's said she loved you each and every day for almost 30 years and you only find out because you both hear and see them having sex in the same bed you sleep in.. and it wasn't even the first time and on top of that it was our anniversary." I say making Damon raise a brow at me.
"Ouch." He says and I nod.
"Yeah.. the worst part is after 8 years of not seeing him he all of a sudden whats me to forgive him.. Damon I loved him and.. I still do. Given it's not as much as it used to be but kissing him again it just.." I tried to explain just for Damon to hug me to his chest.
"I know.. I know. You don't need to say it." He says as I took in a breath and hug him back forgetting all about Elena still being in the room.
