"But Damon You can't leave." I cried. I love Damon and I don't want him to leave. He says he has been here for six years and people will start to notice he is not aging.
"Elena don't think of it as me leaving, think of it as... I'm taking a trip."
"Will I ever see you again?"I sobbed.
"Of course you will kitten."
I went to give Damon a big hug and whispered in his ear "I love you Damon."
And he whispered back "I love you too kitten." And he was gone. No trace to follow. Nothing.
