DISCLAIMER: There are like A LOT stories with Elena and Damon, but I guessed I could also publish one. Sooo...This a scene from the Shadow Souls book (there are a lot of Delena moments there s well) and I think it's very sweet so I made it into a fanfiction. Reviews are always acceptable. ENJOY, kiddies ;) :p

The night at the motel

So take this night, wrap ot around me like a sheet

I know I'm not forgiven, but I need a place to sleep

This night- Black Lab

Elena

Elena never felt the teeth that broke her skin and claimed her blood. Before that happened she was seeing stars. And then the universe was swallowed up in Damon's dark eyes.

After Damon pulled his fangs away- their minds having already melted together- Elena was too weak to stand by herself. Damon held her steadily and he determindedly made her sit on the bed.

''I am not betraying you, Stefan, I will come back to you'', Elena promised.

She pushed Damon gently backward and he laid on the bed, looking at her wonderingly. Elena laid beside him.

She knew what Damon needed most- even more that her own, extraordinary blood- she had sensed it deep in his soul.

Elena moved closer to Damon, embracing him, holding him tightly yet gently, her cheek leaning against his cold one.

Damon, at first tense, was now leaning towards her warmth, her closeness, her safety. Inside her arms she could protect the little chained, starving children Damon truly was.

The only thing that Damon wanted was to not feel alone. Elena held him like this until they both fell asleep, their bodies close to each other, and then she kept holding him for the rest of the night.
