Hello there! This is a new, completely AU story about Damon and Elena. I had the idea while I was bored out of my mind and half-asleep in class, and I thought it would be cool. I've always had this fantasy about Damon being an FBI agent, wearing a suit all the time, and looking gorgeous, and the idea about Elena being a business woman seemed very fitting, since in this story I want to show that Elena is not just the girl that needs protection, she's a strong, independant woman.

Anyway, enough of my rumblings, I hope you enjoy this :)

She looked at her hand. Blood. There was blood everywhere. She slowly got up and saw more blood on the bed. The sudden realization hit her - it was coming from her, she was bleeding. The small drops were rolling down her legs. She sat back on the bed, trying not to faint; she was never that good around blood. She started taking deep breaths, when she felt an awful, sharp pain in her stomach that made her whole body tremble. The scream that came out of her mouth was deafening, full of the pain that had taken over her body. The man next to her rose up in one swift movement. His eyes widened in surprise and he needed only a second to realize what was happening.

„Stefan!", the woman cried in horror.

„Shh, it's going to be okay, you're okay", he told her, getting up in a flash, and putting on the first pair of jeans and a t-shirt he saw. After that he took her in his arms, along with the blood soaked sheet she had wrapped up around herself and walked as fast as he possibly could to the car. He put her gently on passenger's seat, and started the car. He was driving in an insane speed. The beautiful brunette felt how she was slowly starting to fall out of consciousness. Her eyes were heavy and she was battling not to let the darkness consume her. After, what had seemed like hours, but it was probably just a couple of minutes, Stefan hit the breaks fiercely, and she felt how he took her in his arms again before she got too tired to fight.

She slowly opened her eyes, hearing someone calling her name softly.

„Elena, Elena", she opened her eyes, but her vision was blurred. She could recognize Stefan's features, and she felt his arms caressing the side of her cheek. She felt the pain in her arm and she turned her head around to see what was causing it. She saw needles stuck into her skin and she looked away before she would faint again. She was suspecting what had just happened, but she didn't want to admit it to herself. This couldn't be true, this couldn't be happening to her. They stood there in an uncomfortable silence, until the doctor came holding, what she thought was her chart. He flipped it over.

„How are you feeling, Elena?", he asked her with a warm smile.

„Awful", Elena tried to say but her voice was so husky that her words came out, sounding not very understandable.

„I see.", he said. „You lost a lot of blood, that's why you fainted. We're transfusing you right now. We also ran a couple of tests while you were unconscious.", he stopped and swallowed. „I am terribly sorry, but you had a miscarriage.", he told her in a cool voice.

Elena's eyes filled with tears, as the full weight of his words downed on her.

„No, this can't be happening!", she yelled. „No!", her sobs were so violent, that her whole body started shaking.

Elena suddenly woke up with a scream. She was covered in cold sweat, and her arms were shaking. She wouldn't cry, she told herself, not this time. With great effort she swallowed her tears and sat on the bed. Stefan sat next to her, woken up, probably by her scream, and looked at her sadly.

„Nightmare again?", he asked.

„Yeah", it was all Elena could say.

„I know it's hard on you", he started. „But we need to try and get past this."

„I lost a baby, Stefan, I lost my child. You know, I could already fill it kick when it happened. I was counting the days until I see his beautiful face. 93 days before I could hold my son in my arms he was taken away from me.", she rose her voice, feeling the tears coming. „So don't you dare tell me to get past this."

„We lost a child, Elena. We. Don't you think I feel awful as well? But It's been a year.", she could hear the anger in his voice.

Tears started rolling down her cheeks, and his voice got softer as he said.

„I'm sorry, okay?", he gently put his hand on her face. „Take all the time that you need. "

„Thank you", she whispered.

After a few moments her phone rang, and she reached for it on the night stand.

„Hey, Caroline", she greeted her friend and business partner, trying to control her voice.

„Elena, you need to come here. Right now. ", she could easily recognize the panic in her voice, she had known her for a very long time, and she had actually never heard her so afraid. Caroline was usually the cool one, the calm one, so her tone made Elena's heart beat faster in her chest, as the horror was taking over her.

„Care, what is going on? What is happening?", she asked, not being able to hide the trembling of her voice.

„You need to see this one for yourself. Get dressed and come here as soon as you can.", she told her and hung up.

„But, Care, wait! What?", she tried, but there was no one on the other line.

„What's going on?", Stefan tensed up next to her.

„I really have no idea, but I have to go to the office, now.", she told him, putting her phone back on the night stand and jumping out of bed.

„Aaah, I see then. If it's the office.", he told her in a mocking voice.

„What on earth, do you mean by that?", Elena replied, irritated, while she was putting on her black skirt, that was perfectly outlining her long legs, and a white shirt, that was so tight, sometimes she felt like she couldn't breathe. After that put on some make up. She knew how it was in business - looking good was always in your advantage.

„What I mean is all you do is work.", he said, a little cold.

„This is my father's business!", she rose her voice again. „And since your career as a musician is going so well, someone has to make money in that house.", the moment she said it, she regretted it. She didn't mean to offend him, it just slipped her mouth. „I am so sorry, Stefan, you know I didn't mean that.", she told him soothingly, while putting on her black heels.

„Didn't you?", he couldn't even look at her right now.

„Yes.", she said, cupping his face. „I need to go now", she told him, giving him a quick kiss on the lips.

„Have a nice day.", he hesitated for a moment. „Love you."

„Mhm, me too", Elena said, somehow distracted, then she grabbed her purse and stormed out of the house in a hurry.

She got into her red Audi, opened the windows and started it. She drove off and left the wind blow in her face, as she sighted tiredly. As much as she didn't want to admit it, she could see how her marriage was falling apart by the second. „It was so much easier when we were in high school", she murmured under her breath.

When she got to the big, black building that had turned into her home recently, she saw a bunch of police officers standing in front of it. She got out of the car as quickly as she could and ran through the door.

„Sorry, Miss, you can't go in here, it's a crime scene.", one of the officers stopped her.

„My name is Elena Gilbert, this is my company.", she responded. „And what do you mean by ‚it's a crime scene'?", she gasped.

„I need to see an ID, before I can let you pass.", this officer just couldn't let this one go, could he?

Elena let out an irritated growl and started going through her purse to find what she was looking for.

„Here, happy now?", she put the ID in his face, and he moved away to let her pass.

When she entered the lobby she saw Caroline standing there, alone, watching the chaos around her, her blond hair was falling down her back in loose curls. Elena ran to her.

„Care, what is going on here? ", she asked, the panic in her best friend's eyes shocked her.

„It's Roy.", she whispered.

„Roy?", Elena couldn't understand what she was trying to say.

„He's dead, Elena.", the blond girl told her, tears filling her eyes.

„Dead?", Elena couldn't believe her ears. Roy had been one model employee, he was kind and understanding with his customers, he had always done his assignments in the deadline, and from what Elena had managed to gather about him as a person, he was a good guy.

„Yes, they found him in his office this morning, with three bullets in his chest. The maid found him, while she was cleaning, I saw it, Elena, there was so much blood everywhere, his eyes were wide-open in shock, he looked so scared.", the tears started rolling down Caroline's cheeks, and Elena hugged her tight.

„They'll find out who did this.", Elena tried to calm her down. „You'll see."

A detective came towards them.

„The place is cleaned.", he said to them. „We've taken everything from that office, but it's still a crime scene, so, it can't be used anytime soon. I would recommend...", he was cut off by a loud thud coming from the door. They all turned their faces that way, to see what had caused this.

A team came out through the door. The man that was walking in front of them was wearing a black suit, white shirt, and a black tie. His hair was kind of messy, but it looked good on him, it looked natural. The most extraordinary thing about him, though, were his eyes. His piercing blue eyes, that were now looking all over the place. They were the most beautiful eyes Elena had ever seen - bright, but dangerous. This man definitely looked like he was from the cover of a GQ magazine. She was so hypnotized by him, that she didn't realized he had gotten closer, and was now standing right before her.

She shook her head, and offered her hand to him.

„Elena Gilbert, CEO.", she told him. She had considered taking her husband's name, she liked it, but everyone knew her as a Gilbert, so she thought she wouldn't bother.

„Damon Salvatore, FBI. ", he took her hand and shook it. She shivered from his touch, but put her best effort in not showing it. It was something else that got her attention.

„Salvatore?", she asked, surprised.

„Yes. Do you have a problem with that?", he asked. His question sounded harsh, but she could see the playful fire in his eyes, and the smirk he was giving her.

„No.. No, I don't... It's just.. never mind.", she finally told him. There wasn't just one Salvatore family in the whole world, she said to herself. The similarity in her husband and this man's names had nothing to do with each other. „What is FBI doing here, anyway?", she asked him, looking him right into his bright blue eyes.

„There has been a murder on a federal land.", he told her, not taking his eyes off her. „So this case is falling under our jurisdiction."

Elena just wanted to squirm under his intense gaze, but she was highly determined not to be the first one to break eye contact. Staring into his eyes was actually very hypnotizing, she discovered after a few moments, they were so gorgeous, and the contrast to his black suit was making them even more amazing. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen, she realized. She knew it wasn't very lady-like of her to think this, since she had an amazing husband, waiting for her at home, but she couldn't deny the truth – she had never seen anyone more beautiful than him.

„We're taking it from here.", his tone was final. He wasn't asking, he was just informing. „We'll need all of the evidence that you've gathered to be sent to our local laboratory. Plus if there's any written report on the case, we'll need that as well.", he continued, finally taking his eyes off Elena, and she let out a sigh of relief.

„You're just coming here and taking our case from us?", to say that the detective was angry was an understatement. „This could have been my breakthrough case.", he was trying to control his voice, but he was too furious.

„Oh, boo-hoo.", Damon made a fake sad face. „Go find yourself another toy, Sherlock, this is our case, and I am not saying this again." his voice was so commanding , that the detective couldn't protest more, but Elena was sure he wanted to. He walked away, murmuring something about pompous little pricks.

Damon's eyes returned to Elena.

„We'll put you under 24/7 surveillance, there will be someone in front of your office all the time, we're not going to risk anything here.", he explained to them, but Elena was pretty sure he hadn't even noticed Caroline, since he hadn't taken his eyes off Elena.

„Why would we need that, I thought this was a one-time thing?", Caroline finally managed to say something.

Damon turned his head to her, a little surprised. Elena was right, he hadn't even noticed she was here.

„I am not sure about this. The guy could have just been in trouble, and someone took him out of the way. But it could also mean he's after one of you. It wouldn't be the first time this happened. Was one of you supposed to be here last night?", he asked, now looking from one woman to the other.

„Yes, me, but.. I got home earlier, I don't usually do that, but my brother needed me and I couldn't say no.", Elena said, trying to remember exactly at what time she had left the office.

„So, we're not going to scratch this out just yet.", he told them, but looking at their frightened faces, he added. „It's okay, it's just a routine procedure, like I said, we're not taking any risks here."

„Okay", both girl agreed, some additional security wouldn't hurt, right?

„So, I'll need one of you to walk me through everything there is to know about this company, and I am telling you from now, if you have any dirty secrets I need to know about, say them now, because believe me, I will find out sooner or later, and you don't want that. And I'll also need your personal information.", he continued.

„But why, what do our personal lives have to do with this?", Elena couldn't understand.

„A lot.", Damon responded. „Sexy legs, I am working with you.", he smirked at Elena.

„Are you talking about me?", she asked, surprised by her little nickname.

„Yes, I am talking about you. I have difficulties remembering people's names.", he grinned devilishly at her.

„Okay then, I'll be waiting for you this afternoon."

„Fine.", Damon said. „Blondie, I am sending an agent to work with you too.", he told Caroline.

„Blondie? Really, can't you be a bit more original?", she snapped at him, but Elena could say she was definitely enjoying this.

„Ha-ha.", he faked a laugh, and at this moment his phone rang and he walked away.

„What the hell was that?", Caroline's eyes pierced Elena's the moment Damon was far enough from them.

„What? ", Elena tried to play innocent.

„All the looks you two shared. And the „sexy legs" comment. Come on, Elena, I like this guy, he's funny and he's handsome, but I can tell you he's a player from a mile. I've been with enough of those guys, and let me tell you, it never ends well. You don't want to get involved with him, Elena, you already have a great guy by your side.", she said all of this very quickly, and Elena couldn't help my chuckle a little at her expression.

„Wow, relax, it was nothing, we will work together, and that is all.", she said firmly. „I love Stefan, and a guy with a nice suit, amazing eyes, super cute smile, and amazing body...", she stopped when she realized what she was saying. „Okay, maybe I like him a little, but be honest, don't you?"

„I do, Elena, but I wasn't the one he was eyeing all the time", she paused for a moment, like she was hesitating to say something. "And I am not the one who's married.", she finally said.

„Stop it, I told you, he's just another good-looking guy we're working with, we've had lots of those, I've gotten used to it.", she told her.

„If you say so.", her friend replied reluctantly.

„I am going to go to the office to get the paperwork Damon needs ready.", she told Caroline and got in the elevator.

„Oh girl, you're in so much trouble.", Caroline mumbled to herself as she headed to talk to one of the police officers.

So that's it for now, I would really want to know what you think, so please review! :)
