Okay, I'm not a big fan of song fics and I didn't think I'd write one, but the song 'Girl Named Toby - Holding A Heart' deserves it so much. Listen to it, you won't regret it.

Dum dum, dum dum, dum dum.
Damon looked at the heart in his hands, it should be dead by now but it wasn't.
Dum dum, dum dum, dum dum.
He thought that once a heart was pulled from the occupants chest it would die. So why hadn't that happened?
Dum dum, dum dum, dum dum.
When Damon had killed other vampires their heart had stopped beating instantly. This heart was different.
Dum dum, dum dum ...dum dum.
Ah, the beat was getting slower, the heart would die soon.
Dum...dum ...dum...dum ...dum...dum.
Damon looked at the little heart as it slid closer and closer to stopping. The heart was such an amazing thing, it kept the whole body alive. Without it, the rest of your organs were useless.
Dum...dum ...dum...dum ...dum...dum.
He looked at the heart as its last beat came.
Dum...dum.
And then there was silence.
The heart was no more.
Damon kept looking at this dead heart; he kept telling himself that he should dispose of it.
Yet he didn't.
Damon's thoughts were interrupted as he heard Elena walk into the room.
"Damon have you seen...?" Elena said but she trailed off when her eyes saw the bloody mess at Damon's feet.
Her eyes focused on the vampire's face and a single tear slid down her face.
The vampire was a man; he had broad shoulders and brown hair. He had an angular jaw line and his features were quite prominent, his eyes - which were still open - were neither a grey nor a green but somewhere in the middle.
Damon took one last look at the dead vampire and then his gaze turned back to Elena.
Elena had numerous tears running down her cheeks, her makeup was well and truly ruined and a small puddle was forming at her feet.
Damon looked at the vampire at his feet again, perplexed. He didn't understand why Elena was so upset over this stranger.
Damon vaguely recognised the eyes but to Elena this vampire should have been a complete stranger.
Elena opened her mouth to say something but no words came out; Damon wasn't sure whether she would say anything at all.
Then she whispered one word that shocked him back into reality.
That brought Damon out of whatever trance like state he had been in.
"Stefan" Elena whispered, looking at the body beneath Damon, her voice thick with sobs.
Then Elena fell to the ground with a thud.
Lifeless.
