The Kill List

by LethalFelon

Damon is a contract assassin and has been hired to dispose of Elena Gilbert. His perfect credentials are shattered when he can't pull the trigger. Will he risk his entire existence to save this girl? AU. Lemons in the future.

A/N: This is my first time writing a FanFic. I'm really not sure whether or not to continue with it. Please leave me comments regardless of whether they are positive or negative. All replies are appreciated. And if I do decide to continue with this, I promise the chapters will be much longer than this.

I do not own The Vampire Diaries. If I did, I would be incredibly rich. And I'm not. By any means. I promise.

Damon POV

I peered through the scope of my Draganov rifle and watched Elena Gilbert's long brown hair dance in the wind. The Mystic Falls sunset brought with it the first day of the winter, and although snow did not cover the ground, smoky vapors exited through every exhale. For the first time in my life my heart started to pound with a gun in my hands. My hands started to tremble as my heart attacked my brain, begging it to let me save the most beautiful girl I ever laid my eyes on. This was my first time ever questioning orders. I have a simple job; kill the target, and Elena Gilbert just twisted everything in my life. My finger caressed the trigger and as much as my brain was yelling at me to press it, I packed my riffle and scope into their cases and headed through the door to the roof of an empty office building that faced the football field of Mystic Falls High School.
