18-year-old Elena Gilbert was at the Salvatore House with her boyfriend, Stefan, and his brother, Damon. They were sitting on the large leather couch, eating popcorn and watching the movie Lost Boys. Of course, Damon had to speak up and make some sarcastic comment, like he does when they do absolutely anything.
"Please. Do these people know anything about vampires?" he said with a smirk and a raise of an eyebrow.
"Shut up and watch the movie." Elena said as she threw a piece of popcorn at Damon. To Elena's surprise, he caught it in his mouth.
"Seriously, you guys? Can't you get along for five minutes?" Stefan asked with an exasperated sigh.
"Not when he's being….. Damon." Elena said. Damon rolled his eyes. Elena rolled her eyes right back at him.
"You know what? You guys need to spend time together and learn to get along. I'm going to go stay at Alaric's for the weekend. Elena, you stay here with Damon and maybe you guys can learn to get along." Stefan said with an evil glint in his eye.
"What?! No way!" Elena and Damon yelled at almost the exact same time. Stefan just laughed and went up to his room to pack his bag.
"Just so you know, if you try anything, I will pour your oldest bottle of bourbon down the toilet." Elena said, her arms crossed across her chest. Damon just laughed.
"You wouldn't do that, sweetheart." Damon said with a grin.
"I'm not your sweetheart, and if you ever call me that again, you'll be sorry."
"Okay. Whatever you say, sweetheart." Damon said.
That's it." Elena said. She slapped Damon across the face. Before either of them had a chance to say anything, Stefan came downstairs with a suitcase.
"What's going on?" Stefan asked them.
"Nothing." chorused Damon and Elena. Stefan shot them a look, like he didn't quite believe them. He shrugged, said goodbye, and walked out the door. As soon as the door closed, Damon turned to Elena.
"That was hot when you slapped me." Damon said, his crystal blue eyes twinkling with every word. Elena rolled her eyes.
"Then I'm about to be the hottest thing you've ever seen." Elena said, and she lunged at Damon. But what she didn't realize was that he was way stronger and faster than her. With a cat-like movement, he placed a hand on her chest to stop her from attacking him. Elena groaned. She was about to walk out the door when the TV started glowing red. Words started flashing across the screen. They said: WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM TO ANNOUNCE THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN OUTBREAK OF A VERY INFECTIOUS DISEASE. IF YOU CATCH IT, YOU WILL DIE A VERY SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH. MYSTIC FALLS IS UNDER QUARANTINE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR HOUSES, AND DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR FOR ANYONE.
Damon and Elena looked at each other. "Uh-oh." they said. And then they started locking all of the doors and windows. After they were done, Elena was really freaked out. Damon sat on the couch, and Elena sat down beside him. Before she knew it, tears were rolling down her face. Damon could sense she needed comfort, so he wrapped his arms around her, telling her it would all be okay.
