CH 78 To rewind time

Damon woke up in the bed by himself, Anastasia wasn't next to him, he smiled happily at that, he looked around trying to figure out where he was, he used his hearing to guide him to where Anastasia was, in the kitchen, he ran to her he picked her up, whilst she was cooking, she dropped the spatula and screamed, Damon put her down, spun her to face him, and kissed her with so much passion even he couldn't breath, when he felt that his mate needed air he let go of her, Anastasias face was bloody
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Anastasia asked him
"What's the date?" Damon asked
"It's the third" Anastasia told him
"Ok so we have week, we need to talk, it's important"
Anastasias pov
Damon explained everything that was going to happen in a week, and as absurd as it sounded I believed him
"We need to kill Kristen" Damon stood up with determination
"Woah, hold your horses, we can't just kill her" I stood up too
"We have to, she must be stopped"
"We'll stop her, we won't allow her to open the portal Damon, don't worry"
"Don't worry? I saw what destruction she caused Anastasia, she caused Dylan to die, and so many others, your children and you, my quest is clear, kill her, destroy her, if we let her live this time she'll do something worse next time we can't take that chance"
"I understand that, Damon, but we can't just kill her without proof"
"You don't believe me" Damon stated I closed the gap between us
"Of course I believe you, I trust you more than I trust myself, but we can't convince everyone else" I touched his face, "you said a week, right?"
"Yeah the tenth was when we got word from Antarctica, when you got there Rosemary was dead, and Benjamin wanted you to kill him, you told him to join your army, he fought valiantly"
"Hmm, we'll go to Antarctica and stop her" I tried to convince my mate
"You need to let me kill her, Anastasia, Anubis was clear, she has to die, this is my quest, I must do this"
"Ok, alright do what you must, I won't stop you" I promised him
We packed a bag and blinked to Antarctica, Damon didn't want to wait, we were outside the castle and we addressed the werewolves
"Queen Anastasia and king Damon of the seven kingdoms we would like to see king Benjamin" Damon said in a hurry, I smiled at his announcement, the wolves moved and allowed us to step through the door Damon and I nodded in thank-you as we stepped inside, a butler showed us to the throne room
"Queen Anastasia, king Damon we weren't expecting you, is everything ok?" Benjamin seemed worried
"Everything is fine, we're sorry for barging in on you like this but we needed to come, it couldn't wait" I told him
"Can we do something to help?" Benjamin asked still looking worried
"Allow us to stay here, please?" I asked
"Of course my home is your home, anytime" Benjamin smiled
"Thank-you, that will be enough help, oh and we'll need the potion to keep us warm, I haven't learnt to make it yet" I laughed sheepishly, Rosemary laughed too.
Everyday Damon and I left the castle and everyday we looked for Kristen, I knew her heartbeat so I would always use my hearing to guide us, but everyday we would find that she hadn't come, Damon knew it was only a matter of time.
On the ninth I finally heard her, not her heartbeat but her voice, and her dad's voice
"....You'll never understand" Kristen was saying
"Of course I don't, Anastasia really is the queen, she compelled me, and I was the leader of the council" Thomas told her, we got closer to their voice
"No dad, you're just pathetic, that's all"
"Well hello there, what are you guys doing here?" I smiled sweetly at them
"We could ask you the same thing" Kristen retorted
"I'm the queen of the seven kingdoms, and besides I asked first" I told her, my hands folded infront of me
"I didn't know I was not allowed to travel" Kristen scoffed
"Oh you are, I was just curious" I smiled, I didn't stop smiling, and she was now looking confused, "where are you guys staying?"
"That's non of your business" Kristen folded her arms across her chest
"Kristen" Thomas said warningly
"Hmm, well make sure you don't do anything ..... wrong, won't you" I told her with my head tilted to the side, she squinted at me, but I just kept smiling, I turned away and started walking towards the castle
"What are you doing? We can't just leave her, today's the day she opens the portal" Damon whispered shouted
"Don't worry, we're not going back, we'll blink behind her and catch her red handed" I convinced my mate, and that's exactly what we did, we followed father and daughter and we could hear them arguing, Thomas, it seemed, was on our side.
"Ok, here seems perfect" Kristen stopped, she was looking at the sky and then around, the place was secluded no one was around except the four of us, it was also getting dark, Kristen opened a backpack she had bought with her, she took out a book, a candle, and a box of matches, she lit the candle then opened the book to a marked page, I recognised the book as the one she had gotten when she had come to the library I cussed at myself, she had been planning this and if I had stopped her from checking out this book Damon wouldn't be in the state he was in
She closed the book and rose her right hand she began drawing towards the sky
"This is it" Damon said as he blinked to her, held onto her hand to stop her from drawing, I blinked too, and picked up the book, 'to open a portal' was the title on the page
"Let go of me" Kristen was shouting as Damon held both her hands behind her back "Damon let me go" Damon spun her around so that she was facing him "what are you doing? Let me go" she tried again
"You were opening a portal, why?" Damon asked
"Some friends want to visit?" Kristen shrugged, Damon looked into her eyes
"Try again" he compelled her
"I wanted trolls to come here and kill the so called queen of the seven kingdoms" Kristen said in a monotone voice
"Why?" My mate asked angrily
"Because she's convinced everyone that she's the queen, she's not even a real witch, she doesn't deserve magic, and she certainly doesn't deserve you, don't you get it Damon? I'm doing this for you, once she dies, you'll realise she lied to you, she lied to everyone" Kristen was nearly shouting
"You're wrong, Anastasia is the queen, it's you that doesn't deserve magic" Damon said
"Damon, let me go" Kristen looked into his eyes, trying to compel him, he just scoffed
"Did you just try to compel me?" He asked her, she looked confused and Damon laughed "You can't compel me, don't you know how compulsion works? I'm superior to you, I'm the king of the seven kingdoms, I can compel you, you can't compel me" he told her
"Do you really believe that? She lied to you Damon you're not really her mate, she's using you" Kristen just wasn't listening, Damon shook his head
"I'm done with this" he looked into her eyes "You will not open the portal, you will not use your magic to harm Anastasia, infact you will never use magic again"
"I will never use magic again" Kristen repeated in a monotone voice.
We blinked home with Thomas and Kristen that evening after saying goodbye to king Benjamin and queen Rosemary, we dropped father and daughter home, when Damon and I blinked home, however, we were greeted by Anubis
"Anubis? It's lovely to see you, to what do we owe the pleasure?" I asked in greeting
"I've come to see Damon" Anubis told us as he looked at Damon
"I didn't kill her" Damon seemed sorry "I tried, I really did, I convinced myself I had to kill her, but I couldn't, when the time came I I I couldn't, I'm sorry, I'm not a worthy king, I know that, I don't deserve to be king" Damon fell to his knees infront of the god I stepped forward to coax Damon to stand, but Anubis raised a hand to stop me, instead he stepped forward and helped Damon to stand
"You have nothing to be sorry for, you did what you thought was right, you are a worthy king, Damon, that is why you were chosen to be king, but do know, that this isn't over, I'm sorry to tell you this, it isn't over"
"But I compelled her, she can't use magic" Damon told the god, Anubis shook his head
"She can't use magic, but she can still wield a weapon" Anubis said this and then disappeared Damon gasped realising he probably made a mistake in allowing Kristen to remain alive, I stepped infront of him and held his face in my hands
"You did the right thing" I told him "Magic is hard to deal with, an opponent is easier to defeat if they're infront of you, trust me we can handle it", Damon smiled at me and I hugged him tight, I kissed him hard until I felt faint due to lack of oxygen our foreheads were touching when I spoke "when will you go back?"
"What do you mean?" Damon asked me
"You're from the future, when will you go back to your own time?" I asked again
"Oh, I don't know, I don't think I want to" Damon smiled
"Well then you better not bleed" I told him remembering that in order to go back to your time you have to bleed, and the unicorn tears in the potion will take you back home, I kissed my mate again.
Damon wanted to go see Dylan, so we blinked outside their home and knocked on the door, when Dylan answered Damon embraced him before the door was even fully open
"Woah" Dylan looked at me as Damon held him tight, I was crying trying to figure out how Damon felt right now, he comes from a world where Dylan is dead, and now here he is alive and well "Damon? What wrong?" Dylan asked
"Nothing" Damon sniffed "nothing is wrong, everything is as it should be" Damon finally let go of Dylan "sorry" he apologised for the bloody patch on Dylans shoulder, then he turned to Charlie "I know you don't know this, but I fulfilled the promise I made to you" after alot of coaxing from the lycans, Damon finally told them everything
"Wow" Dylan was in awe, "Well thankyou for saving me" Dylan told him
We talked about Kristen and we tried to guess what her next move would be, we didn't have to wait long.
The very next day Kristen paid us a visit, I had just finished watching an episode of Doctor who, and Damon had just come downstairs after changing out of his work clothes, today was a different day for Damon he had told me that today had been the day we had gotten word from Antarctica about the trolls, today had been the day that Rosemary had died, but today she was alive, and I was happy
"Kristen? Why hello, come in, come in" I greeted Kristen just as Damon came down the stairs
"What are you doing here?" Damon greeted Kristen angrily, I held his hand to calm him down
"Come in Kristen, it's cold" I told her as I pulled my mate out of the way so that his best friend could walk in, she came in as she nodded in a thank-you towards me, I guided both Damon and Kristen to the living room, Kristen saw the painting and furrowed her eyebrows at it
"Nice painting" she laughed a little, I smiled
"Yeah and its mine" Damon told her, now it was my turn to furrow my eyebrows, we sat down, when no one spoke for a solid two minutes I decided to break the silence
"Would you like drink?"
"Um I'll have bourbon, please" Kristen smiled, I was about to get up but my mate stopped me
"We have no bourbon left, we only have water"
"Damon" I began but Damon squeezed my hand so I said nothing
"I'll have water then, please" Kristen said in such a low voice that had I not been a witch with powerful hearing I wouldn't have heard it, I nodded and stood up to get the water, I gave Damon a look that said 'play nice' to which Damon just smirked sadly, I filled a glass with water, I took the glass and gave it to Kristen, she took a sip then put it down
"Thank-you" she said as she folded her hands in her lap
"Why are you here? Kristen, What do you want?" Damon asked sounding agitated
"Damon" I began trying to save the situation, Kristen just scoffed and shook her head
"You took away my ability to do magic, I need you to reverse it, please" Kristen asked, Damon and I raised an eyebrow at her, the craziest thing was, she was looking straight at me, as if I had taken away her ability to do magic
"No, anything else?" Damon said with so much venom
"I was talking to her" Kristen gritted her teeth
"Only I can take away the compulsion seen as though I compelled you" Damon told her, she shook her head
"Look, it's a nice thought, a vampire compelling a witch, but let's face it, it's impossible" Kristen smiled sweetly, Damon shook his head, he looked at me and I just shrugged
"I'm tired of repeating myself" Damon shook his head "I'll give you back you're ability to use magic when you've earned it" Damon pointed towards the front door, telling Kristen to leave, she shook her head
"I need my magic"
"No Kristen what you need is to learn respect"
After arguing back and forth Kristen finally left. We shut the door behind her, and I saw that Damon was frustrated so I stood infront of him, floated a little, and kissed him, he visibly relaxed as I played with his hair he snaked his hands around my waist and pulled me closer, I just moaned.
"My powerful king" I whispered
"Mmm" was all my mate could say "have you eaten?"
"I'm not hungry, my king" I told him as I kissed his jaw
"Anastasia" Damon began
"I'm not hungry for food" I looked into his eyes "how long has it been since you fed?"
"It's been around three weeks for me" my mate said, I furrowed my eyebrows at the revelation "there were things going on" he shrugged "I didn't get the chance" I smiled at him
"Well in that case" I offered my neck, to which Damon groaned. He drank from me and Damon seemed happier and healthier, i made sure not to bite him, knowing that if i did, he would return to his own time, so instead we sat on the sofa as Damon fed me grapes, strawberries and chocolate covered nuts, even though he was annoyed I wasn't eating real food, I was annoyed I wasn't drinking his blood.
