TVD: Beyond the pale moon

Chapter 19: Into into Psychology 101



As the dust settled reality set in for all of us. Vicki was one of us now a vampire. In a dull moment Damon had taken a life and this was going to follow him for the rest of his life. Stefan took off to Elena's to explain the situation and I took her to our home, to teach, to remold, to reinstate her to this new life.

"Let me go!!!" I opened the door and put her down from my shoulder. She looked at me and then at the door. I sighed and rubbed my eyebrows and said, "We've all had a long day Vicki let's not make it a tiring one too."

She got up with a look of determination in her eyes and tried to run past me to the door and I grabbed her from behind and snapped her neck. I threw her to the ground and sighed, "It's almost like an art seeing you snapping necks… well, you did have some experience from all those chickens and people." I looked up and saw Damon climbing down the stairs.

I picked up Vicki and took her to the parlor and placed her down on the sofa and decided to pour some drink for me, "What aren't you going to say anything? Oh or are you giving me the silent treatment like before?" I took the glass and saw that the fire place was not lit. I walked towards it and threw some wood and matches to get it started.

"Okay, okay I get it… you're disappointed in me." I took the fire poker and adjusted the logs and took a sip. "But in all honesty it's your fault shouldn't have locked me up down there."

I turned around and he smirked and I looked at him and smiled. He tilted his head and in an instant covering our distance I priced his stomach with the poker and fixed him to the ground. He cried in pain and I twisted the handle and poured my whiskey on it so he won't be able to touch it.

I got up and started walking to the liquor stand and he groaned and cried in pain, "What the fuck Tom?"

I poured around glass and turned around and said, "No, no, no, Damon… What THE FUCK DAMON? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

I pulled one of the chairs close to him and sat down, "You kill some random fucking guy I don't give a fuck about it. But this… to kill your own family? You're nothing more than an animal."

"Zack's just as much family as you." Damon laughed through the pain.

"I get that you are lonely, hurt or whatever this is. But you can't keep doing this Damon. Neither can I, I… know it hurts whenever you think about her and it's all that you can think about… but don't be this."

"All this talk about caring about family, where were you when we thought you were dead? Where were you when Stefan became that thing? Where were you when I… you know what, do what you've been dying to do, go ahead rip me up."

I got up from the chair and pulled the poker out and threw it to the ground. Damon coughed and panted for air while spitting out blood. I picked up Vicki and decided to leave. I turned back around and said, "It's not like any of you came to find me? But that's okay… Damon. I'll give you what you want cause I owe you, but don't mistake my love for my weakness." 

Saying my piece I went up stairs and put Vicki in one of the rooms and closed the curtains and locked the room. Tomorrow will be more of a chore than today, but that's what I do.

I walked into my room and removed my jacket and took out that compass and placed it on the table. I reached around in my jacket's breast pocket. When I touched it and took it out I felt a presence inside my room and I was familiar with it. I turned around and saw the woman who caused the destruction and demise of me and my family.

"Emily… Wish I could say it's nice to see you." I smiled and continued to remove my clothes. "Here for that amulet? Still so materialistic no wonder you can't find peace."

I walked to my bed and laid down, "Give it back it doesn't belong to you."

"It sure does, ever heard of finders keepers?"

"Here I thought you'd understand… I deluded myself when I thought you were the same Tom."

"I sure as hell am not that boy… who got killed because of you."

"It was necessary for the good of all."

"Would you like some sugar for that high horse of yours hmm? Good of all, my ass all I see is my family torn apart by that woman who killed me because of you."

"Are you sure it's me who's stuck in the past or is it you?"

I got up on my bed and warned her "Leave before I'm out of patience."

"Ah there he is the infamous… witch eater." She walked towards me and said, "You have a lot of enemies this side of the world Tom and we don't forget. After all witches are famous for their revenge. You know all about it don't you since you talked to her."

Sayin that Emily disappeared into thin air. I took in a deep breath and laid down again and wondered if she knows?

In the end I couldn't kill him, since Tom actually can't you might realize this in the later portion of this chapter. There is a lot of layers to this character that I'm trying to convey and like one large theme for this character. And I know many of you won't like it. But I want to explore that specific kind of character trait. That I can kinda see in Tom. It won't be pretty or satisfying but it will be memorable, at least for me. And another point if it's not clear this is a 2 part chapter. And since tomorrow is a holiday in Philippines I might be able to give you 2 chapters. So let's hope for the best. Bye.

PS:- This is for some who knows how to read Hindi Imma give you a like a hint for this character. Let me know if it's worth it or not.

Ke kuch hasrate mukammal na ho to behtar hai

Ke kuch khwab pure na ho to behtar hai

Ke tu nahi tera khab behtar hai.

 Ke ab to zindagi nahi maut behtar hai

Main gyan chod raha hu acha laga to bolna ek dil Jala ashiq type character thk hai? Mere ko bas shaiyi karni thi isliye yeh likha hai.
