This story takes place after Klaus forces Stefan to leave Elena and to be an evil vampire again. Basically this tale is about Elena falling in love with Damon finally. I hope you enjoy!
"Damon , do you think what Katherine said was true? Do you really think Stefan sacrificed himself to save you? That he's really gone?" Tears started streaming down Elena's face. Damon got up out of bed and walked over to her. He put his hands on her shoulders.
"We'll get him back, I promise you. I will not let my brother be taken away for saving me. I owe him." Damon looked into Elena's eyes then wiped the tears off her face.
"Damon, when I kissed you .. I .. I didn't mean to lead you on. I don't know why I kissed you, but it can never happen again. I love Stefan." Elena took a step back from Damon. Damon looked at her with thoughtful eyes.
"Don't worry about it, I'm over it. It never happened." He gave Elena one of his beautiful smiles and she couldn't help but stare in awe at him. She was starting to have mixed feelings but she didn't dare say it outloud. She definitely has feelings for Damon, and with Stefan out of the picture now she can act on them. No , she thought to herself. She couldn't do that to Stefan.
It was getting late and Elena was very tired. She thought about going home but decided she would feel safer is she was with Damon.
"Damon, do you mind if I stay the night? I really don't feel safe being alone right now." She walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge and looked up at Damon.
"Of course, here, I'll give you the bed. I'll go downstairs and sleep on the couch." He handed Elena a blanket and went to walk away until she grabbed his hand.
"No please, can you just sleep beside me. I really can't be alone right now after all of this." Damon looked down at Elena was an almost hungry look but he softened it up with a smile.
"Okay, but I'm a snuggler." He started to laugh. Elena just looked at him and shook her head. He got into bed beside her. As soon as he got in she put her head on his chest and he wrapped his arms around her. Shortly after that she began to cry.
"Are you okay?" Damon asked , he was pretty worried.
"I'm just so worried about Stefan, and with everything that has happened. Jenna's gone, Bonnie and Jer are together now, Alaric's a mess. Jenna's dead because of me. This is all because of me." Elena started to cry harder. Damon put his finger under her jaw and tilted her head up to make eye contact with her.
"Elena this is not your fault. You can't help what happened it's not your fault. Don't ever think that again. You are the strongest, smartest and prettiest woman I have ever met." Damon looked down at her and smiled. Elena, teary eyed looked up at him , blinked back tears and kissed him. Damon looked very surprised. He started to kiss her back. He wrapped her in an embrace and the kiss intensified. Elena ended up lying ontop of Damon and it progressed into a hardcore makeout session.
Damon started to undo Elena's shirt until she stopped him. She stared at him wide eyed.
"I'm so sorry Damon. I don't mean to lead you on. I don't know what I am doing. I am royally screwed up. Please let's just sleep."
Damon wrapped his arms around her and laid her against his chest. He whispered into her hair.
"Of course Elena, but just remember , I will always be here for you." With that they fell asleep.
