This is my first multi chapter fic. I will update regularly on a schedule. I am disabled and cant promise that I will always give the updates but hopefully I will. I plan on updating every Friday. I may update to give you guys a treat so keep your fingers crossed. This is a Delena fic and maybe a Stef/Kat one too. I don't know.
Happens during the episode MASQUERADE (2X7) when Elena is outside the Lockwood Mansion.
Chapter 1,
I was standing at the lake in front of the Lock Wood mansion. A lot had happened, Katherine's witch had bonded us so that any pain to Katherine meant pain to me. My arms were bleeding, they hurt like hell but I didn't want to worry Jer, Bonnie and Damon and Stef. Stefan; The guy who was reluctant to kill Katherine, my boyfriend. I didn't know. And what about Damon? My head was spinning, I sat down.
After a few minutes Damon came,
"Hey. How are you?" He asked,
"I've been better. You?" I said as he sat down next to me,
"Hmm... I am okay." He said,
"Thanks Damon." I said softly, looking into his icy blue eyes, eyes that you could be lost in forever. His stare on me remain fixed before his lips quirked into a smile,
"Welcome... Ele... Nothing." he said before stopping,
"What is it?" I asked,
"... God your beautiful." He said and I cocked an eyebrow,
"I am here in my blood stained pajamas with a sleepy face?" I said and we both laughed,
"Look Elena I need to tell you something." He said seriously and I felt my heart drop,
"Damon lets not..." I said before he placed his hand on my lips.
"Elena just listen... I love you. You deserve better than Stefan, I know that he is still hung up on Katherine and thats how its always gonna be, you're what I want and I know that some where deep down that heart of yours you love me too, don't fight it Elena. Please, just please give me a chance." Damon said to me, I was dumbfounded what was I going to do? Damon? Stefan? My heart said yes, it wanted to scream 'I love you too' but my brain it said, Stefan. Stefan. Stef. Ste. St. S. D. Damon. Damon and Damon.
"I... I... love you too." A voice said before recognizing it was my own, Damon smiled, He reached to kiss me but I stopped him, I could sense his confusion,
"Wha... Why?" He asked quizzically,
"Damon, I am not Katherine, we need to tell Stefan." I said,
"He's inside the Lockwood mansion with Katherine, lets go." He said,
"Um... Damon unless you noticed, this is a masquerade, and I am in my PJ's with a blood stain on my shoulder." I said,
"And I am a vampire with super fast, human eye blurring speed. Hold on tight gorgeous." He said as we zipped across the lake, to the mansion and inside, I was not afraid of Katherine, not anymore. The only thing I was afraid of was Stefan, how had I hurt him, would he forgive me? Forgive Damon? I was a horrible person,
When we stepped into the room my jaw dropped open as I saw Stefan and Katherine making out on the red sofa,
"I love you too Katherine..." Stefan said, my stomach lurched, I glanced to my right to see a look on Damon I had never seen, it was anger and disgust all rolled up into one. Finally Stefan sensed something, he turned and I could see his surprise to see me, his face which usually had a cool and calm demeanor about it was now filled with guilt and sorrow,
"This party just got a whole lot better." Katherine smirked,
"Elena... I am so..." Stefan said,
"Don't. Just don't. Damon lets go." She said,
"You know what really disgusts me, I just told Elena I loved her, and she was hesitant because before being with me she wanted to tell you about it and you, you, the first chance you get you betray her and whore yourself onto the same bitch that ruined our life and has been ruining our life for a hundred and sixty one years. So I hope your happy brother, Katherine just defined who you are, as a brother, as a boyfriend and especially as a man." Damon shouted as we left the party.
Before leaving Katherine zipped to me,
"Oh and BTW, Elena is in grave danger." She said.
We stormed past the shouts and laughs of the party and I noticed in the hustle that Damon had taken of his suit jacket and put it on me, On the way we saw Caroline,
"Elena, give me your car keys." Damon spoke softly as I handed him the keys to my car,
"Caroline, I wont be able to drop you home, here take Elena's car." He said,
"Okay." She said and went away. Something was up. Definitely.
We reached Damon's Blue Chevrolet Camaro 1967 model, his treasured baby as he had said. He opened the door for me and I sat down and in a flash he was beside me,
"I can't believe Stefan would do this, and I know, I know I am such a hypocrite I am just as bad as him." I began tears welling up in my eyes, Damon placed his hand over mine,
"Your not Elena, you waited. You didn't cheat on him. He did. You don't deserve someone like him, he has no control. He was the one reluctant to kill her and now you know why. I'm just glad we got there when we did. Knowing the new Stefan he wouldn't have told you. Don't cry, please Elena don't cry. It makes me wanna stake him so bad..." Damon began his eyes getting that scary look that sent shivers down my spine,
"No. Damon don't." I said,
"I'm taking you home now." He said,
"Could you stay with me?" I asked as we got out of the car and made our way to the house,
"Of course." He said smiling,
As we stepped on the porch he stopped and turned to look at me,
"You know at the founders day, I tried to kiss you. But it failed, and I don't only mean your Aunt interrupting but I mean it wasn't you." He said, his icy blue eyes gazing at me,
"You could try again, I am not Katherine." I replied,
"You aren't. You make me do good. You know I came into this town wanting to destroy it, Now more than anything I want to protect it. How does that happen Elena? I'm not a hero Elena, I don't do good, its not in me." He said,
"It is Damon, it always was." I replied.
"No, its only reserved for you. And Bonnie, even though she has every reason to hate me, yet she still helped Stefan to save me." He said surprised,
"Why do you sound so surprised?" I asked,
"Because she did it for you, Which means that somewhere along the way, You decided that I was worth saving, and I wanted to thank you for that." He said,
"Your the one who saved me Damon..." Was all I could say before Damon reached forward and kissed me, the kiss felt like the most wonderful and right thing in the world, it was what it was supposed to be- finally. Damon pulled me into a tight embrace and we just stood there for a moment taking it all in.
Finally we opened the door and went inside to find Alaric pacing back and forth in the living room,
"Elena, oh my god are you okay?" Aunt Jenna said from the couch,
"Elena? You okay?" Alaric said,
"Um... Yeah I am fine." I said,
"Where the hell have you been Elena? We've been worried sick!" Aunt Jenna said,
"i just needed to clear my head." I lied,
"I heard about your break up with Stefan, I like your jacket Elena. Oh and Damon you can stop hiding." She said noticing Damon's suit jacket on me,
"Look I really don't want to talk about it, I'm gonna head upstairs for bed." I said and both Alaric and Aunt Jenna nodded,
"You go, I'll be up in a sec." Damon whispered as I nodded and went up.
I carefully took of Damon's coat hoping I hadn't stained it, yep it was fine. I placed it carefully on the sofa and took out another shirt to change in, I went in the washroom and splashed water on my face a couple of times, I removed the blood stained shirt and put it in a basket of water and clothing cleaner, I'd deal with it tomorrow.
