LATER IN THE NIGHTâŠ.
âThis is itâ Deanna breathed out, lying face up on the be-d
âAll you have to do is concentrate and try to reach The Sural, maybe you can pu-ll me in when you find herâ Stefan said
âThis isnât going to be easyâ Deanna said
âAt least we can try.. Iâll rather die trying than die watching like a cowardâ
Deanna swallowed ha-rd and tried concentrating.
âThe sural is buried in hell. just try to picture what hell look likeâŠ. â
Deanna listened to Stefan as he talked. She listened to everyone description he made till she was gradually finding herself in a new place. Dark, and creepy but no blazing fire like Stefan had describe-d.
âStefan I found itâ Deanna shouted excitedly
âI know.. Iâm right behind youâ Stefan said and Deanna whirled around to find Stefan really standing behind her.
âLetâs find her and get out of hereâ Deanna said and walked to Stefanâs side
âIâm hereâ a voice said and they noticed a figure sitting beside them. She was a white flowing go-wn and her hair was flaxen gold.
Even though she looked old, but not really old. She was still beautiful and Deanna couldnât help but wonder why she looked like her.
âAre you The sural?â Stefan asked
âIf youâll believe.. I amâ she simply replied âMy name is Martha and Iâm very sorry for what youâve been pas-sing throu-gh and what youâre about to pas-s throu-gh. It was all my faultâ she bowed her head in shame
âAnd you have to be careful not to repeat the same mistakeâ she suddenly looked up at Deanna âThereâs only one way to st©p thatâ
Stefan and Deanna exchanged confused glances.
âWe donât know what youâre talking aboutâ Deanna said
âOf course you doâ Martha smiled âTry to remember your dreamâ
âI dream a lotâ
âwe donât have time.. Iâll show youâ Martha fli-cked her wrist and there was a flash across Deannaâs face.
Deanna screamed and covered her eyes with her palms.
Stefan quic-kly rushed for her âAre you okay?â he gr@bbÂŁd her ti-ght
âI think I amâ Deanna trued opening her eyes but the flash c@mÂŁ again, sÂŁnding her falling to the
âDeanna?!â Stefan shook her violently and looked at Martha âwhy did you do to her?â
âNothing is going to happen to her. Let her remember her dreamâ Martha simply said
FLASHLIGHT đ
âyou can never break free.. your soul is mineâ she wh!pped Deanna again and Deanna cried out âNo one can save youâ the voice thun-dered and flogged Deanna more ânot even themâ
PREsÂŁnT âĄ
Deanna screamed again and rolled on the ground.
âDeanna?!â Stefan ran to her side
âlet her beâ Martha bellowed and Stefan stepped back reluctantly
FLASHBACK đ
Stefan stood on a cliff looking around but he couldnât see Deanna. Though she was seeing him.
âStefan?!â Deanna called when a creature suddenly appeared behind him. The creature was covered in iridiscent scales. âwhatâs that?â
âHis worst nightmareâ The voice replied and wh!pped Deanna. Deanna screamed.
âyouâll watch everyone you love dieâ
Deanna watched the wall as the creature walked up to Stefan from behind.
âStefan look out!â Deanna shouted and the creature pushed Stefan off the cliff.
âNo!!!â
PREsÂŁnT âĄ
Deanna shook violently and Stefan was f0rç£d to hvg her ti-ght. He was seeing everything she was remembering and he was scared for whatever was happening to her as she screamed.
FLASHBACK đ
âTheyâll all die one after the other.. cause youâre caused.. youâre jinxedâ the voice snarled and wh!pped Deanna but she didnât scream.
âStefan?!â she sobbe-d instead
âitâs not overâ the voice chuckled âThere are more you nee-d to seeâ
Deanna whimpered as she continued watching the wall. The creature slowly changed to Damon.
âHeâs going to destroy all of you.. no one can st©p himâ the voice said
Damon disappeared and Deanna appeared on the wall. She was in a field and there were heaps of dead bodies lying on the ground.
âyouâll lose everything youâve always cherishedâ the voice said
Deanna looked around and she recognized many corpse lying on the ground. There was her aunt Millicent, Uncle Adam, Vickie, Bruce, Moira, Hilda, Stefan.. everyone she knew were lying dead on the ground. Deanna bur-st into tears and ran to Millicent.
âAunt Millicent?!â she called shaking Millicent violently âyou canât be deadâ she sniffles and ran to Adam âUncle Adam?! Uncle Adam?!â she cried shaking everyone she knew
âTheyâre all deadâ someone spoke from behind
Deanna whirled around to see who spoke âDamon?!â
âHi Deanna?!â Damon sm-irked and started walking close to Deanna âwe meet againâ
âYou killed themâ Deanna hurled in tears
âNot just meâ Damon cli-cked his ton-gue âwe killed themâ
âyou were behind all theseâ she yelled âyou deceived meâ
âI didnâtâ Damon said and cu-mpped her cheek in his palm âyou made the wrong choiceâ
âyou made me love you when you knew I wasnât supposed toâ
âwhat happens now?â Deanna asked and slowly started changing to the iridiscent scaled creature ânow that youâve met my demons, do you still love me?â
âI hate youâ Deanna yelled in tears and pushed him âI hate you Damon.. just return to hellâ
âI wasabout returning, but I c@mÂŁ to get youâ
Deanna got scared and started moving back âwhat do you mean?â
âwe both belong in hellâ Damon said and advancing towards her âam taking you with me.. to eternal punishmentâ he added and gr@bbÂŁd her arm
âLet me goâ Deanna shouted
âyou soul is mineâ
âNo!â Deanna screamed
PREsÂŁnT âĄ
Deanna screamed, jÂŁrking violently but Stefan held her ti-ght to his che-st.
âDeanna?! Deanna?!â Stefan called, trying to calm her down
âSheâll be fine, itâs just a traumaâ Martha said and a tear escaped her eyelid âIâm sorry for what I caused youâ
Stefan looked up at Martha âItâs not your fault, you were just trying to helpâ
âTell her never to love Damon. Once he k!sses her, then he has her soulâ
âHow?â
âDamon is possessed by a devil and heâs on a mission to destroy the world. Once he steals her first k!ssthen theyâll win. But you can save them, you just failed to realize who you areâ Martha sniffles and shook her head, blinking ra-pidly âit was all my mistakeâ
âI donât un-derstandâ
âyou donât have to un-derstandâ Martha sobbe-d âwhen you wake up.. tell her mother loves herâ
âyouâre her mother?â
âyesâ Martha sobbe-d
Stefan looked at Deanna and to his surprise, they were no longer in hell but in Deannaâs room.
âStefan?!â Deanna called and sat up in be-d
âAre you okay?â Stefan asked
âHow did we get back?â Deanna asked
âI donât knowâ
Deanna looked around and said âI saw a lot of thingsâ
âI know.. I saw them tooâ
âDo you think Damon is really evil?â
Stefan peered into her eyes and asked her softly âDo you love Damon?â
âI.. I donâtâ Deanna stammered
âBut according to what we found out, youâre in love with himâ
âI donât think so Stefan, and even though I do then I have to st©p right? Itâs going to be a complete disasterâ
âMartha said you should never love Damon and you canât k!sshim else heâll take possession of youâ
âHow?â
âHeâs a devil and heâs on a missionâ
âDamon is a devil?â Deanna asked
âHeâs actually possessed by a devilâ
âThis is seriousâ
âWe all have to be carefulâ
âWe canât avoid him forever. There must be a way to help me, maybe cast out the devil somehowâ
âMartha didnât mention anything about that buy maybe weâll see a priest or an exorcist for thatâ
âDonât you think weâll be endangering their lives if we involved others?â Deanna asked
âI donât know Deanna.. Iâm so confused right nowâ Stefan half yelled âI have to go nowâ
âWeâll talk tomorrowâ
âYeah!â Stefan got up to his feet âDo you still want to settle your differences with Damon?â
Deanna chuckled âI donât think thatâs necessaryâ
Stefan smiled âAlright.. stay safeâ and he walked out throu-gh the door
Deanna fell back to her be-d and hvgged her pillow ti-ght. She just wished everything she was wasnât really. That Damon wasnât really possessed by a devil on a mission and she had to stay away from him. She couldnât help it. Damon wasnât someone she planned on staying away from.
Everything sounded strange to her. How could he be possessed?
Deanna tossed and turned on her be-d restlessly.
Stefan! She called in her heart.
I hope youâll be fine.
âïž»Ì·Ìżâ»Ìżââäžâïž»Ì·Ìżâ»Ìżââäžâïž»Ì·Ìżâ»Ìżââäž
Stefan arrived at the presidentâs mansion and headed to Damonâs room. When he got to the door, he was scared to knock. Scared to see the demon in Damon.
He stood for a while before finally knocking on the door.
Immediately he knocked, the door pushed open into its hinges.
Stefan took in a de-ep breath and walked into the room. There was no one in the room but he saw a note on the floor beside the door.
He picked it and opened to re-ad what was written in it.
đ Stefan, meet me in the basement.
Stefan folded the note and tucked it in his pocket. He thought of what the note said.
Why would Damon want to meet in the basement? Unless he was up to something.
Stefan walked out of the room and closed the door. He wasnât going to meet Damon in the basement. Not after he found out who Damon really was.
Stefan walked into his room and had a quic-k shower then he dressed up in his pajamas and la-id on the be-d. He didnât have the appetite to eat so he was just going to go to be-d without eating.
Stefan covered himself with the duvet up to his che-st but on a second thought, he decided to meet Damon.
If he didnât go, it would be like he was scared of Damon. Damon might be possessed but he was still his cousin brother and they had been together but Damon hadnât tried anything stupid. Stefan got out from be-d and slid his feet into his fl!pflops. He wore a jacket over his pajamas and walked out of his room.
When Stefan got to the basement, the basement was dark and there was no sign of Damon anywhere. He groped on the wall for the light switch and turned on the light.
Damon was sitting on a box his legs crossed and eating an apple.
âI thought youâd never comeâ he said to Stefan
âI found your note few minutes agoâ
âor you were scared to come?â Damon arched his brows
âwhat would I be scared of?â Stefan asked back and Damon chuckled âwhat were you doing in the darkness? You shouldâve turned on the lightâ
âUnlike you, Iâm darkness and I delight in it. You know that alre-adyâ
Stefanâs heart skipped a beat. Damon found out about there visit.
He just watched Damon without saying anything.
âHowâs Deanna?â Damon asked
âSheâs goodâ
âI knowâ Damon got up from the box and started pacing about âHow do you feel knowing she was also Bonnie?â
âIâm not mad at her, I totally un-derstandâ
Damon chuckled âyeah right!â he rolled his eyes âsince you know who I am, why donât you fight me?â
âThereâs no use fighting my cousin brotherâ Stefan replied calmly
âCousin brother?â Damon scoffed âif you donât want to fight then Iâm going to have to kill youâ Damonâs fist jÂŁrked back and he hit Stefan. Stefan fell backward onto the soft ground, long legs sprawling. He raised a hand to his mouth and found blood. Stefan tried getting up but Damon was coming at him again with a club. He raised the club above his head and aimed at Stefan but Stefan was fast to roll over. He got up and snatched the club from Damon like a child.
âDamon whatâs wrong with you?â Stefan shouted and Damon punched him on the nose. Stefan staggered back, holding his nose.
He got furious and charged at Damon, but Damon gr!ppÂŁdhis nÂŁÂąk and pinned him to the wall.
âIâll finish you later in hell when Iâm done with my missionâ Damon hit his head on the wall and Stefan went unconscious.
âIâm not going to let you st©p meâ Damon kicked Stefan on his stomach and picked up the stick again. He jabbe-d it on Stefan severally till Stefan was bleeding profusely all over his head. Damon st©pped when he was sure Stefan was completely weak if not dead. He sm-irked knowing Stefan wouldnât survive then he turned off the light and walked out of the basement.
THE NEXT MORNING
âWhereâs Stefan?â Suzanne asked walking into the living room
âI havenât seen him todayâ Tracey replied
âwhat about you Damon?â Suzanne asked
âI donât knowâ Damon replied
âI had a nightmare last night and I want to be sure heâs safeâ Suzanne said worriedly
âCall the securityâ Tracey suggested
âWhy didnât I think of that?â Suzanne sighed and placed a call to the chief security, Pius.
Pius walked into the living room shortly âGood morning Maâamâ and greeted with a bow
âWhereâs Stefan?â Suzanne asked
âHe didnât leave the estate after he returned last nightâ Pius replied
âbut I canât find him anywhere in the mansionâ Suzanne said
âHe must be somewhere in the mansionâ Pius said
âArrange your men. I want Stefan found in the next 30 minutesâ Suzanne ordered
Pius bowed âyes maâamâ and walked out
Damon got up immediately Pius walked out âIâll go help them search for Stefanâ and be walked out too
2 MINUTES LATER
Damon sighed two security men walking towards the basement and he hurried up to them.
âSearch elsewhereâ he told them âIâll search in the basementâ
âyes sirâ they bowed and walked out
Damon looked around to be sure no one was watching then he entered the basement. Stefan was lying almost lifeless on the floor and Damon smiled on seeing him.
âHello cousin brotherâ he bent beside Stefan âget up and fight meâ he raised Stefanâs hand to check his pulse. His pulse was slow and wasnât steady.
âYouâll be dead in no time. I just have to keep them distracted till thenâ Damon said and carried Stefan on his shoulder then he covered him with a big nylon.
Damon c@mÂŁ out of the basement, carrying Stefan with a nylon properly covering him. He looked around and snuck into the mansion. He hurried to the fire place and threw Stefan inside.
âIâm just going to burn you in here and no one is ever going to find youâ Damon said, arranging some woods over Stefanâs b©dy then he went to get a match box.
Meanwhile, Lucio, a security man had seen Damon come out of the basement carrying Stefan but he has no idea what he was carrying. He got suspicious about it and followed Damon into the main building. He watched from a corner and Damon threw Stefan into the fire place and arranged the woods over his b©dy. When Damon walked out to get a match box, Lucio c@m£ out from his hiding place and walked to the fire place. He re-moved the nylon and tried bringing Stefan out but there was no time and he was scared of what Damon would do if he found him. Lucio took out his phone to place a call to Pius when Damon showed how from behind and hit him with a club behind his head. Lucio fell with his face into the fire place and Damon pushed him in fully then lighted the woods with a match stick.
âBurn to hellâ Damon seethed and walked out, leaving them to burn
âWhatâs that smell?â Pius asked the two men he was walking with as they walked into the main building
âSomething is burningâ one of the men replied and they traces the smell to the fire place
âThereâs a b©dy in thereâ the other man shouted when the saw the fire burning into the fire place
âGet extinguishersâ Pius ordered and ran to the fire place. The men returned with three extinguishers and the quic-kly put off the fire, alerting the others.
They dragged out Lucioâs b©dy that was on t©p and he was completely burnt. Stefan who was lying un-der the as slightly burnt but he was still. Pius placed his head on Stefanâs che-st and his heart had st©pped beating.
âCall the ambulanceâ Pius shouted

đ„ HOSPITAL đ„
Deanna rushed into the hospital in tears. Tracey had called her earlier to inform her about the situation. Deanna sighed the family waiting for the doctor and Damon was also presÂŁnt. Not wanting to be seen, she went in throu-gh the back and was lucky to see the doctor coming out from the emergency room.
â⊠move him to the mortuaryâ the doctor instructed the nurse he was walking with
âShouldnât we inform his family that heâs dead?â the nurse asked
âIâll inform them nowâ the doctor replied and the walked out. Deanna was hiding and watching them, she didnât want to be seen. When they had walked out, she snuck into the emergency room. Stefan was lying on the be-d with a life supporting machine attached to him. He looked still and lifeless.
She ran to his side and st©pped down in tears.
âStefan?!â Deanna sobbe-d and there was a flash in her head. This time it didnât hurt. She closed her eyes and different scenes appeared in her head. Damon and Stefan fighting, Damon hitting Stefan with. club, the fire place, and the fire.
Deanna held herself from screaming and ran out of the room to avoid getting caught. She ran out of the hospital and Damon sighed her leaving. He excused himself from the rest of the family and went after Deanna.
âDeanna?! Deanna?!â Damon called running after her but she didnât st©p âDeanna wait upâ he caught up with her and gr@bbÂŁd her arm
âLet me goâ Deanna shouted
âJust give me a minuteâ
âI donât want to talk to you. Youâre a devil! I hate you so muchâ Deanna yelled in tears
The statement hit Damon like a bomb and his grip on her hand loosÂŁned.
âI know you hate me now but you have to listen to meâ
âAre you going to tell me why you tried killing Stefan? What offence did he commit that you couldnât forgive and tried killing him?â Deanna yelled
âI didnât mean to. Most times I canât st©p myself from doing some things. Iâm not really bad, Iâm not a devil, Iâm Damonâ
âyouâre a demon Damon, youâre possessedâ
âI know.. I c@mÂŁ here for a mission and I know you found out alre-ady but all that changed when I met Bonnie. I loved her without knowing youâre the same personâ
âYou canât fool meâ
âIâm not trying to fool you Deanna, I hate to accept the fact that I was fooled into loving you even when I shouldnât. The devils just keep controlling my mind and I donât think straightâ
âWas that why you tried killing Stefan?â
âDeanna Iâm sorryâ
âyou should be apologizing to Stefan not meâ
âI donât want you to see me as a bad person, I donât want you to hate meâ
âI hate you alre-adyâ
Damon looked away to hide the tears that was rolling down his cheeks.
âBonnie used to love meâ
âNot anymore. Thereâs no Bonnie, itâs Deanna and itâs Stefan IâŠ. â
âDonât say itâ Damon cut in
âwhy?â
âplea-seâ Damon pleaded âI can accept any other thing but donât say you love Stefan. I might be a devil but I really love you even though I shouldnâtâ
âThe you should return to hell with your love cause I loveâŠ. â
Damon yanked her forward and shut her up with a k!ss
