God damn Rebekah and Klaus all the way to hell and back, how were they still around? Damon's head was throbbing as they walked along with all the shit he shouldn't even be thinking of right now. He should just be thinking about getting back to Elena and his brother. This was the day he'd been looking forward to only without the long hike and feeling like death part. He was about to be reunited with the people he loved the most.
"Now I know I just met you and all but don't you think you should have some backup with you?" He asked curiously as he looked her over. She was armed to the teeth and he tipped his head curiously in wonderment of how she got that weapon to stay - he stopped his thought process and grabbed her arm.
"Someone's nearby. I can smell them." He wasn't sure what people were like anymore but if they were being hunted and stuck in camps? They probably weren't very friendly. She shook his arm off and continued forward quietly, scanning the trees slowly and seriously.
Damon found himself staying protectively close to her even though he wasn't at the top of his game right now. If something happened and they were attacked he was confident he could injure whoever it was enough for them to continue on their way but he wasn't... totally sure that's what would happen. This was no dream and his strength was not endless right now.
