Chasing The Rejected

-CLARA-

“Damon, you’re doing no such thing! Stop” I screamed as I walked behind him. When he didn’t stop, I halted then stomped my feet on the ground.

“Donovan Damon Gertrude!” I growled loudly and that immediately did the trick. He halted then turned to me with wide eyes.

“How did you…” He trailed off as Dimitri snickered, earning him a glare from Damon.

“I swear I didn’t tell her. I almost forgot your name was Gertrude” He uttered, unable to stop himself from laughing.

I had to admit it was funny, I remember how shocked I was to see that his name was Gertrude when I was signing the marriage papers. I didn’t laugh or say anything because I was still weary of him.

“Oh like yours is any better, Samantha” Damon fired back, immediately shutting Dimitri up. Delilah began to laugh and they both turned to her.

“You can’t clap back at me, I don’t have a middle name. Perks of being dad’s favorite” She uttered then flicked her hair with a smirk.

“Your name is Samantha?” I turned to Dimitri with wide eyes and he frowned.

“Let’s move on” He muttered under his breath and as much as I wanted to tease both of them, there was no time for jokes now.

“Damon, you’re not going into the lion’s den. You’ll have yourself killed” I tried to reason with him but I knew how stubborn my husband was. “Immortal or not, he couldn’t kill me if he wanted to” He uttered boastfully which made me scoff.

“Neither can you. He’s an immortal, Damon. If two of you indulge in a fight, who is potentially going to die? You! Not to mention that you’ll be in his territory, that just makes your chance of survival slimmer” I told him and he sighed.
