Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam)

-DELILAH-

Ever since Clara went missing, none of us have gotten a good night's sleep. We were doing our possible best to find her and bring her back safely.

Damon was a mess, according to Luca he barely slept and even if he did, he'd be muttering Clara's name in his sleep till he woke up. I didn't know how to help him in the slightest.

I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt Luca wrap his arms around my waist.

"You have been ignoring me. You don't reply to my text or pick up your calls" He pointed and I let out a sigh.

It was true that I've been ignoring Luca for a while now but that was because I felt guilty anytime we acted so in love with each other when Damon and Clara haven't seen each other in days. It also didn't help knowing Damon only sent her away in the first place to keep her safe from me and father.

"How is Damon? Has he come up with a plan yet?" I questioned as I slowly pulled myself out of his grip before turning around to face him. He stared at me for a while then sighed before shaking his head.

“I haven't been able to get the head of the Hunter's number or even any of its members at that but I'm doing all I can❞ He told me and I frowned. "So what is going on now? What's the plan?" I questioned and he sighed.

"We are all doing all we can..."

"But it's not enough! What if something happens to Clara? She's pregnant for crying out loud!" I couldn't help but scream and immediately regretted it because I knew for a fact that they were all doing all they could.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." He grabbed onto my hand before I could complete my sentence and placed a kiss on my lips.

"You don't have to apologize for anything. I know it has been hard not only worrying about Clara but about Damon as well but you don't have to worry so much about him. No matter how down or hopeless Damon feels now, he'll never give up or lose hope till he has found Clara. Besides he knows she'll be sad to see that he hasn't been taking care of himself when he finally sees her so he has been trying his best to eat and sleep a little so don't worry about him that much. I have a feeling we'll find her soon" He assured me while caressing my hair with a loving smile on my face and I smiled back at him before wrapping my arms around his waist and resting my head on his chest.

"I've missed you so much and I'm sorry that I've been ignoring you. I..."

"You don't have to explain anything baby, I understand. We'll find her, I can assure you" He murmured and I let out a sigh as I sunk deeper into our hug.

“I just wish there was a way I could help" I murmured into his chest and we were both quiet for a while till an idea struck me.

"Have you asked Dimitri? He has got to have a number right?" I questioned as I pulled away and stared up at Luca with wide eyes. "I've tried, your father has tried but he wouldn't say a word" He explained and an anger surged within me.

He was the one who put Clara in this situation and he had the guts to hold back on something that could potentially save her?

"I'm going to meet him and slap some sense into his stupid head" I muttered before storming away and Luca didn't bother stopping me, He even offered to drive me there which I accepted and in no time, we were at the dungeons.

He led me to Dimitri's cell which was secluded from every other criminal's own.

"Is something wrong with you?" I said immediately I appeared in front of his cell. He looked like shit but at that moment, I could care less. I just wanted to understand why he didn't want to help out.

"If you have a number then fucking give us. Don't you want Clara saved? What if she's currently getting threatened because your dumb ass wouldn't help save her?!" I screamed as I clenched onto the cell bars.

"She wouldn't get hurt, her uncle wouldn't hurt her" She murmured softly and I scoffed.

"What's your problem? Why won't you help out?!" I screamed and he sighed then turned to me and when I saw the look in his eyes, I gasped.

His eyes were swollen and red, a sign that he has been crying bitterly. The sight immediately made my heart ache.

Dimitri has always been the cheerful one among us and to see him like this was really heartbreaking.

“What's the use? I've already failed everyone. I've already failed Damon. It's better if I don't include myself anymore" He murmured so softly that I almost didn't hear him.

Dimitri and I have always looked up to Damon. He was our role model and we both always competed for who would gain his favor so I understand how Dimitri was feeling.

"I know how you're feeling now,

Dimitri. You know you have

disappointed Damon but this is your

chance to redeem yourself. We all know you did it for a good reason but Damon can't appreciate that because Clara is missing. If you help find her, don't you think that would make Damon feel better?He needs her, Dimitri" I reasoned him and heAll content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

went quiet before he sighed.

"I don't have a number but I know someone who does. There's a number on my phone, it isn't saved and it ends with 93. Call the number, he should have answers" He told me and my heart soared with hope as I smiled at him.

"Do you have his phone?" I questioned as I turned to Luca who in turn nodded.

"Do you even know what he wants the number for? I know for a fact Damon isn't just going to call just to ask for Clara back. He has a plan, doesn't he?" Dimitri questioned while staring at Luca who pursed his lips.

"Of course he has a plan" He replied and Dimitri frowned.

"Is it dangerous?" He questioned and I turned to Luca, waiting for his answer.

"It doesn't matter. You all know for a fact that Damon would gladly give up with his life to save Clara. It's our Job to make sure it doesn't get to that sowe should do all we can to help. If you know anything, this is your time to speak up"...
