Disclamer : I don't own Vampire Diaries.

Author's note : I'm bored and watched over VD, that is when this story came into my mind. I just wanted to write it. This story is of course focused on Delena.

This story is picked up after the finale on the first season. Not at all base on spoiler.


Elena stepped into the house. She was surprised to see someone in the kitchen. It was Jenna. She was dressed up.

" Where are you going?" Elena asked.

" I have a date."

Elena grinned at her. " With Mr. Saltzman?" Elena teased.

" I'm dating him, you know." Jenna turned to Elena. " We will talk about what happened tonight after I come back."

" What happened tonight?" Elena confused. She was sure Jenna doesn't know about the fire yet. She stayed in the house for the founder celebration.

Jenna raised her eyebrows. " Don't pretend like you don't know."

" I really don't know what you are talking about."

Jenna walked up to Elena. " Save it. We're going to talk about it – later. I need to get going now."

Elena shook her head. " Fine. Whatever." Elena felt tired after what happened, so she's not in the mood to argue. " Is Jeremy home?"

" He's up in his room. Talk to you later." Jenna hurried walked out the house.

Elena stamped her way up the stairs, and went straight to Jeremy's room. The door is closed, so Elena knocked.

" Jeremy. Are you sleep yet?" No answer. " Jeremy. We need to talk." Still no answer. Elena then grabbed the doorknob to unlock it, it twisted easily. She let the door fall open. She can see Jeremy is lay down in the bed. He looked asleep. Elena approached his bed.

" Jeremy. Come on. We need to talk. I heard about Anna." Jeremy still doesn't moved. " I know you still mad at me. And I deserve it. But I'm always here for you." Elena felt Jeremy ignored her. " You know where to find me if you need me. I love you, Jer." Elena walked through the bathroom toward her bedroom.

When she passed through the bathroom, she saw pills scattered on the sink. She had bad feeling about that. But she quickly put it together. She ran back to Jeremy's room and shook Jeremy's body. " Jeremy!" But he's not moving. " Jeremy!" She started to panic. " Jenna!" She called for Jenna. But she remembered Jenna went out.

She took her cellphone and dialed Stefan's number. She heard the dial tone. " Come on, Stefan! Pick up the phone." But no answer. She automatically dialed Damon's number after that.

Damon answered it in second rings. " Miss me already?"

" Damon."

He heard the distress in Elena's voice. " What's wrong?"

" I call Stefan. But he's not answer his phone."

" He's just went for hunting." Damon told her in serious tone. " What's going on, Elena?" Damon asked again, demanded an answer.

" It's Jeremy. He's try to kill himself. I don't know what to do." Elena could feel her tears started to wet her cheek. " Damon – " She heard a click sound. Damon just hung up.

A few second later Damon already jumped into the room from the window. " Damon." Elena can't believe when she saw him. She thought that he hang up the phone to ignored her. He did that sometimes.

Damon doesn't said anything. He approached Jeremy and checked up on him. " He still breathing." Damon turned to Elena. " Make one glass of a milk."

" What?" Elena surprised that in this situation, Damon still have time to drink a milk.

" I learned this in Asia. The milk can push the drugs out."

After heard Damon's reason, Elena quickly ran down the stairs to the kitchen and make one glass of milk. She's back in few minutes later. Damon tried to opened Jeremy's mouth. Damon looked at Elena. " He drank vampire blood. I can smell it."

" What?" She knew what Damon meant. " He wanted to turned to vampire?" Elena said as she handed out the glass to Damon. Damon hold Jeremy and forced him to drink the milk.

" Where he get vampire blood?" Elena asked.

" I can bet it is Anna's." Damon said as he looked at Elena.

Just as Jeremy emptied the glass, he threw up. They can see the pills in the vomit. And Jeremy is awake. Weak. But awake. Damon sat up to gave Elena the room.

Elena approached Jeremy. " Jeremy, how are feeling?" She pushed his hair from his face. And stroked his cheek.

Jeremy opened his eyes and see Elena. " Why are you helping me?" And he threw up again. Another pills came out from his stomach.

Damon looked at Elena. " He's going to be fine." Damon pulled Elena away from Jeremy. He pulled Jeremy. " But we better take him to the hospital." Damon carried Jeremy in his back. Elena just nodded and followed him.


" Almost all the drugs been out from his body. But some already in his system. So we will keep him here for an observation until all the drugs in his system is clear. But there is no worries. He will be just fine." Doctor's explanation make Elena feel calm.

" Thank you so much, Doc."

The doctor looked at Elena. " Miss Gilbert. He tried to kill himself. We have to report him. And called psych."

Damon pulled Elena away and turned to the doctor. " You will not said this to anyone else. Jeremy is just have a food poisoning. That's why he stayed in hospital. Do you understand that?" The doctor nodded obediently. " Now go." The doctor walked away.

Elena walked to Damon. " What are you doing? Do you have to do that?"

Damon turned around and looked Elena. " Do you want everybody to know that he wanted to be a vampire? It's fine by me."

Elena knew Damon is right. She sighed defeatly. She walked into Jeremy's room. Jeremy's eyes is wide open now. He looked better.

" You think it's that easy to be a vampire? You have to passed the test from me first, prince of the darkness." Damon said to Jeremy. He leaned on the side of the door. " But I don't think your sister will let you do the test in the first place."

" What the hell are you thinking? You really wanted to be a vampire?" Elena walked to Jeremy and sit on the chair beside the bed.

Jeremy is still mad at Elena. But he sees how worried she's been. The anger is just like blown away. " I'm sorry."

Elena gently looked at Jeremy. " I know what happened to Anna might be shocked you. But to become a vampire?"

" I lost everybody, Elena. Mom and Dad. Then Vicky. Now Anna." Jeremy took a glance at Damon. " Damon said vampire have a switch off button. Can turned off the feeling. I don't want to feel like this anymore. Alone."

" You are not alone! You have me. We only have each other. Just the two of us right now. Don't you dare left me alone." Elena's eyes started to tear.

" You have Stefan." Jeremy took a glance again at Damon. " And Damon." Jeremy looked at Elena. " I have nobody else."

" You will find somebody else. Somebody for you. But to become a vampire it's not a choice."

Jeremy nodded. " I know. I just desperate. Anna's dead make me hit the bottom." Jeremy reached Elena's hand. " I'm really sorry, Elena."

Elena sat up and hugged Jeremy. " You know I love you."

" I love you too." Jeremy said.

" Okay, you two love each other. That's great. But I feel uneasy here." Damon make a sound again. Elena pulled away from Jeremy and looked at Damon. " What? I'm the beast. I don't do love."

" You're not the beast. You're maybe not an angel. But not beast." Elena said slowly. Jeremy just looked both of them. Suddenly he felt like he is an intruder, and it is his own hospital room.

Damon coughed nervously. Elena looked away from Damon. " I take it that you're okay now, kid? Not think about become vampire again?"

Jeremy shook his head. " I learned my lesson. I promise. I won't do that again." Jeremy said to Elena.

" Then, you're okay stay here by yourself, right? I will take Elena home." Damon said.

Elena looked at Damon again. " I will not left Jeremy here alone."

" He need his rest. There is nothing you can do here." Damon said.

" He's right, Elena. I just need my sleep. You better go home." Jeremy said to Elena.

Elena just looked at Jeremy for a while. " Okay. I'll come back tomorrow." Jeremy nodded in smile. Elena sat up and walked to Damon.

Damon take Elena home. They just come into the house from the front door. " Where is Jenna?"

" She has a date with Mr. Saltzman."

" I can't picture that." Damon smirked at her.

Elena turned around and looked at Damon. " What's wrong with your eyes?" Damon eyes turned black. She seen this before in Stefan's eyes when he was hungry.

Damon looked away from Elena. " I haven't ate since yesterday." Elena looked at Damon. " Don't worry. I won't eat you. So you don't have to be scared. Unlike my angel little brother, I have complete power at human blood."

" I'm not scared." Elena herself felt surprised with her own words. She used to looked at him as the evil vampire. There's no good in him. But right now she looked at him. His eyes dark because of hunger. And she is not scared. She had complete faith in him, that he will never hurt her. She doesn't even this kind of faith with Stefan. When Stefan's eyes turned black, she was scared. But not now.

Damon just looked at her. This girl is so much different than Katherine. He used to think the two of them is alike. But he knows now that the similar between the two of them just their looks. Katherine is evil. But Elena. She was an angel. An angel that not scared at him. The one that have faith in him.

Elena raised her hand and hold Damon's hand. She guided him to the kitchen. He just quietly followed her. Elena grab a knife at the kitchen.

" What are you doing?" Damon asked and tried to take the knife from her.

" You're hungry. I'm human. And I have blood."

Damon shook his head. " No. No. I can eat at home. We still have so much blood supply at home."

" If you still have stock at home. You won't be starved like this." Elena said. Damon looked at her. He surprised how Elena knew him so well with this short of time. Elena swung the knife at her hand and cut her other hand. The blood quickly pour from her palm. She hands out her bloody hand to Damon. " It's okay. I trust you. Drink it."

Damon just looked at Elena for a while. Then, he put his attention to her bloddy hand. Slowly he put her hand in his mouth and drinking her blood.

Elena doesn't know why she did this. She never think about Damon before. But when she saw the hunger in Damon's eyes, suddenly she just imagined how it feels like when Damon's lips touch her skin as he drank her blood. She never felt intimate like this with anybody. And she has sex before, with Matt and Stefan.

Stefan. Elena can't believe that she forgot about Stefan. She pulled her hand from Damon. Damon just looked at her. " I'm sorry." Damon said.

Elena shook her head. " It's not like that. I -"

Elena hasn't finished her words when Damon pulled her away from kitchen table. After he ate, he is more observed of the situation. He don't smell this before, because he was hungry. He though that he imagined things. But he's not. He smell human blood.

" What?" Elena asked Damon. She can see the worried in his eyes. She knew him well now. There's something happened.

" Blood." Elena looked at Damon with puzzled look. " A lot of blood. Here." Damon said as he pointed to the kitchen floor.

Elena gets it now. " Jenna." She take out her phone from her pants and quickly dialed Jenna's number. It rings a few times but no answer. She looked at Damon worriedly.

" Don't worry. I'll call Alaric." Now Damon dialed Alaric's number.

Alaric answered just after the first ring. " What?"

" Where are you? Is Jenna with you?" Damon asked. Elena looked at Damon hopefully.

" Yes. She's in the bathroom." Alaric answered. He heard the different tone in Damon's voice. " What's going on?"

" Listen to me. Jeremy is in the hospital. I'll explain to you later. Don't let Jenna going home. It's not save here now. Take her to the hospital with Jeremy. And stay with them. I'm with Elena. I will take her to the boarding house." Damon said.

" It's another vampire, isn't it?" Alaric asked.

" I smell blood in the house. A lot of blood. And I think it belong to John Gilbert's." Damon said to Alaric. Elena gasped. Damon looked at Elena. They looked at each other. " I think Katherine's back."
