Before you read this story please note that this is pretty much A/U. It's really only that Stefan and Elena were never together. Okay? Good, hope you like it and please R&R!
I helped Bonnie to her feet. We started running, again, but Ben step in front of us. We turned and tried running in the opposite direction. I searched my pockets for the gun I had taken from Alaric. I looked behind me and didn't see anyone. I pushed my legs to go faster and grabbed Bonnie's hand. I stopped abruptly when a figure stood in front of us. I held the gun up and squeezed my hand around it. I pointed the gun and pulled the trigger. The wooden bullets flew from the gun and hit the figure before us. I shot it until he finally fell to the ground. I dropped the gun. Bonnie and I slowly walked towards the limp body. I could see the wooden bullets sticking up from his chest. Bonnie touched my arm. I looked at her horror filled eyes and continued towards him. There was blood everywhere. It was on his face, his neck, his clothes. I took the last step forwards and looked down at what I expected to be Ben. I closed my eyes closed and knelled down towards Damon's limp body. Tears flooded my eyes and I screamed for Bonnie. I heard her on the phone frantically calling Stefan. I picked the bullets from his chest and started doing C.P.R., but nothing was happening.
"Damon!" I started to scream. "Damon! Please don't leave me!" I kept counting in my head then another pair of hands replaced mine and starting pumping his chest faster. Bonnie pulled me up and hugged me. I kept crying. I lifted my head and saw Stefan stand up with his hands full of blood. He stared down at his body then looked at me. He slowly shook his head and let a tear escape. I went towards Damon's body and rested my head on his bloody chest. Stefan and Bonnie sat next to me and wrapped their arms around me. I kept staring at Damon's face.
"Elena. Stop beating yourself up." Bonnie said, handing me a cup of tea. "You thought it was Ben. So did I. Neither of us even knew that Damon was in the woods with us." I put the cup to my lips and took a sip of my tea. It burnt my tounge. But I figured people have suffered worse than that. I looked down at my feet.
"I killed him." I said while my voice cracked. Bonnie put down her mug and sat down on the couch next to me. She wrapped her arms around me. My eyes were dried up from crying so much. I closed my eyelids tightly and hugged her back.
"Let's do something tomorrow." Bonnie said unwrapping her arms. "Let's do something to get our minds off this, it's almost been a week, Elena." She said, looking into my eyes. I nodded my head. She smiled in satisfaction and stood to get her tea. "I think I'd better get going." Bonnie said. I slowly got up. "Are you going to be okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, I'll be fine. Anyways I have to get some rest if were going shopping tomorrow." I said, forcing a smile. She hugged me one last time and walked towards the door. I took her glass and went towards the kitchen. I rinsed them both out and washed my hands. I went up the stairs and headed towards my room. I closed the door and went into my bed.
The sun streaking through the window woke me up. I lazily walked into the washroom and started washing my hands. That's when I noticed they were bleeding. I started running them over the water frantically. But then I realized it wasn't my blood. I looked up to the mirror and saw Damon behind me. I turned around and I was standing in the forest with him.
"Damon." I breathed running up to him and holding him in my arms. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my head.
"Elena." He whispered holding me closer to his chest. He took my hand in his and starting pulling me.
"Where are we going?" I asked while I started to lightly jog behind him.
"I want to show you something." He said turning around and facing me. "But first, you have to wake up." Damon smiled at me and kissed my cheek.
I shot up from my bed. My cheek was stinging and tears were in my eyes. I looked at my hands curious if there was blood on them. I looked towards the bathroom and noticed the door was closed. I got up from my bed and ran towards it. I reached for the handle. "Damon!" I breathed but was disappointed when I found Jeremy. He stared at me. I felt my heart racing and the tears flooded down my cheeks. I sank to the floor. Jeremy sat down beside me. He put his arms around me and rocked us back and forth.
"We better get ready for school." Jeremy said helping me to my feet. "Are you going to be okay." I nodded and he left the bathroom. I turned to look at myself in the mirror hoping to see Damon, but I only saw the reflection of a rec.
