Okay so I'm back with another story. So I got this story from an AU fan video. It was truly amazing and I just had to do a fic on it. Okay well I just want everyone to know that although I used scenes from the tv show, this fic in no way follows the plot line of the television series. I just needed some of the dialogue that kateFGMP used in her video. So with that said, I hope you guys enjoy the story.

Damon

Is this really what my life has come to? Laying in the middle of the road waiting for my next victim. I never thought this would be my life. Hell a couple of month's ago I didn't even know vampires existed, yet here I am.

I sigh as I continue to stare up at the night sky, millions of stars stare back at me. My mind instantly flashes back ten years, to a time where it seemed like everything in my life made sense. I can almost feel her beside me as we laid in the grass, staring up at the stars. I knew the minute I saw her I loved her, granted I was only ten years of age.

I feel the ever present ache that accompanies thinking about her. The only girl I've ever really loved. I close my eyes against the memories. I shouldn't put myself through this torture. I'm probably never going to see her doe eyes again, the color of dark chocolate. I knew I blew it those two times where I actually got close enough to talk to her, but I chickened out.

She just looked so...beautiful. She wasn't the little eight year old girl I used to play tag with during our summer vacation, she was a woman. No matter how hard I tried I could never get her out of my mind.

"Drink! Drink! Drink!" I hear the shouts from the teenagers a couple miles away. It seems like they are having a party to celebrate the beginning of summer vacation. If I remember correctly, it was a ten years ago today when I met her. Maybe that's why the memories are coming back to me with a vengeance.

I roll my eyes as I hear guys hollering and girls giggling. Damn supernatural hearing. The loud obnoxious music feels like it's bursting my ear drums. I never really understood this generations musical taste. I never really did fit in as a child and teen. I was always the black sheep.

"I know Bonnie you're right." I whip my head to the side. That voice... It sounds so familiar.

"You and my Mom both are I just can't bring myself to tell him... At least not tonight." I lift myself up off the ground and move towards the sound of that girls voice.

"I'll call you later." I hear her angelic voice say. I run at vampire speed and stand in front of her. She looks up, obviously startled by my sudden appearance. Her eyes visibly widen as she takes in my appearance, looking me up and down. She backs up a bit, her eyes relaying her suspicion.

"Uh can I help you?" I'm left speechless, she looks so much like her. But it can't be... She told me she lived in Canada, Toronto to be exact. This girl just has an uncanny resemblance to her. I mean why would she be in Mystic Falls? My home town. The odds of this ever happening were really slim, yet...

"Um I'm sorry... You just really remind me of someone." I tried to placate her. The suspicion still didn't leave her eyes, but I notice she visibly relaxes.

"I'm Damon." I say in way of greeting. I wait for a response, maybe a name, but all she does is stare at the space beside me. I raise my eyebrow at her odd behaviour, is it normal to totally ignore strangers? I clear my throat trying to catch her attention.

Immediately her eyes snap back to me.

"I'm Elena..." She trails off.

My eyes widen at her name, I think my heart literally stopped in my chest.

It's her!

It's actually her. I never thought I would see her again and yet here she is, standing in front of me. She looks different. Her hair is darker and she lost some of her baby fat. I didn't want to believe it at first, but the resemblance is just to uncanny. I didn't want to get my hopes up, but it is her.

"Not to be rude or anything, Damon, but it's kinda creepy that you're out here in the middle of nowhere." She mutters looking around the deserted road. I can't help, but smirk at that. Same old Elena, always paranoid. I bet she's thinking I'm a serial killer who is here to kidnap her and kill her. Throwing her remains in a ditch for her parents to discover. Okay so maybe she's not thinking that, but she was one paranoid girl.

"You're one to talk...you're out here all by yourself..." I wink at her, just to ruffle her feathers. I miss this, our playful conversations.

"It's Mystic Falls...nothing bad ever happens here" I want to tell her how wrong she is. Obviously she has only lived her for little under a year, so she doesn't know the darker side to Mystic Falls. The supernatural aspect. I mean it was in Mystic Falls where I was eternally damned.

Made to be a monster.

I should leave now and make her forget this ever happened. She shouldn't have to be subjected to the supernatural. She should be able to live a human life free of all this baggage, but I just can't make her forget me. A selfish part of me wants her to remember.

I guess I was silent for to long because she looked down at her phone that's still in her hand and raises it up, gesturing towards it.

"Got into a fight with my boyfriend." She blurts out, a slight blush rising to her cheeks immediately afterwards.

I feel a tug at my heart at the fact that she has a boyfriend, but I shove it down. I need to make her trust me. I kind of feel a little disappointed that she doesn't recognize me, but I think it will be better that way. At least for now.

"About what-?" I quickly raise my hands up, not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable or for her to think I'm rude. I am a stranger to her after all.

"-May I ask." I watch as she tries and fails to fight a smile at my ridiculous behaviour. Her smile drops as she looks down at the ground, kicking imaginary stones and tracing things in the cement.

"Life, future...he's got it all mapped out" She looks genuinely annoyed at this.

"You don't want it?" I ask her, pretty sure I already know the answer.

"I don't know what I want." She says, shrugging her shoulders and giving me a little smile as if it doesn't really matter.

"Well that's not true...You want what everybody wants." I say with confidence, a smug smile slipping onto my face. She cocks her head to the side and stares at me intently, her eyes shining in the moonlight.

"What? A mysterious stranger who has all the answers?" She smiles seductively at me and I can't stop my heart from skipping a beat. Elena Gilbert is flirting with me. I can't help the laugh that escapes me. I finally feel a shred of happiness. I haven't felt this relaxed and carefree for a long time.

"Well...let's just say I've learned a few things" I nod my head, smirking. Hell the last year I've learned more then I would in a life time.

"So...Damon, tell me...what is it that I want?" She provokes, her eyes shining at me as she gives me her own tiny smirk. I could get used to this. Our playful banter. I never thought this could happen to me, but I am absolutely enchanted by this beautiful creature.

I take an unconscious step towards her, like a moth to a flame. The draw is inevitable, she's the magnet and I am that poor piece of metal that doesn't stand a chance against that darn magnetic attraction.

"You want a love that consumes you. You want passion, adventure and even a little danger" I say while smirking. I move so I'm standing in her personal bubble, but by the look on her face it doesn't look like she minds.

She stands in front of me speechless, her eyes never straying from mine. She looks like she's floundering for words, not knowing what to say after that mini speech. She shakes her head and narrows her eyes a fraction.

"So what do you want?" She asks, finally finding her voice. Now it's my turn to be left speechless. I haven't been asked about what I want or how I feel in a long time. I literally couldn't find my voice. How can one question reduce me to this? Usually I have some sort of quip up my sleeve, but yet all I can do is stare into those passionate eyes full of curiosity.

A loud honk interrupts us from our intense staring. Elena looks over her shoulder at the approaching vehicle. I hear her sigh, her shoulders visibly slumping. Huh I guess she really wanted to know what I want.

"It's my parents" she said, without turning back to me I see her cross her arms. I can just imagine her eye brows furrowed and her face puckered in annoyance at the horrible timing. Finally she turns around to face me and when she does I move so I'm standing extremely close to her. So close that our bodies are touching. I bore my eyes into hers trying to convey my next words without accidentally compelling her.

"I know this might seem strange to you coming from a stranger, but I want you to know that what I want is for you to get everything you're looking for Elena." My voice comes out low and husky. I can see her eyes darken in desire as our breath mingle into one.

We stand as still as stone, staring longingly into each others eyes. I lower my head a fraction of an inch towards hers before I catch myself. I watch her eyes as they drop to my lips and I have to force myself to take a step back. No I will not let her into my world. She doesn't deserve this kind of life.

"Uh...I better go." She says, clearing her throat as she too takes a step back. I nod my head and let out a sigh. At least I got to talk to her one last time. Maybe if I was human then I could get to know her and maybe actually have a shot at having her love, but the minute I turned that was deemed impossible. If she ever found out what I actually was, she would be horrified and probably never speak to me again.

So with a heavy heart I let her go.

I watch as she walks up to her parents car and open the back door. I try not to smile as I she turns her head and looks at me over her shoulder. She gives me a small smile, then gets into the car and slams the door.

"Who was the hottie?" I hear her mother ask as the car does a u-turn.

"Damon." Elena whispers, her eyes meeting mine through the car window.

"He wasn't that hot." I hear her father grumble as he pulls out onto the road. I smile a genuine smile when I hear Elena giggle at her father.

Yeah.

I'm definitely going to miss her.

Sighing, I make my way back to the road. Feeding is out of the question now, so I might as well go to the boarding house. I wonder when it was that Elena moved here. She obviously only moved her in the last year since I was gone trying to control the blood cravings.

I make my way along the road at a human pace, deciding on getting some fresh air to clear my mind. Seeing Elena has definitely thrown me off.

I whip my head to the side at the sound of a loud crash. It sounded like metal against metal. A split second later I hear a distinct splash of something hitting water. That cannot be good. I use my fairly new vampire speed to make it to the sight of the crash.

At first nothing seems to be wrong, but the destroyed guardrail tells otherwise. I make my way to the edge of the bridge and look down into the lake. There staring back at me is Elena's doe eyes wide with fear.

Her fists banging on the back window as the tail end of the car slowly descends into the water.

Slowly disappearing into the abyss.

A/N: I will post the video on my profile if anyone wants to see it and I just want to say that I know, I know it doesn't do the video justice. I hope I didn't butcher it. I did try my best. If you guys even liked it a little tiny bit, can you please leave a review telling me this because I am really worried I totally ruined the video. Oh and did any of you get the little reference to Nina Dobrev?
