No End and No Beginning
The sign read "Welcome to Mystic Falls" I breathed a sigh of relief. Just a little bit longer I told myself. Being apart from her had almost killed me. She was my only reason to live. If something had happened to her….I can't even fathom what I would do. I needed to be near her. To smell her, touch her, be the one person in her life she can trust. Anxiously, I pulled into the driveway of the boarding house. I swung open the door, and all of a sudden a sweet fragrance of lilies swirled around me. The scent was so strong it almost knocked me to the ground. She was here. The rational part of me wondered why Elena was at my house. Why didn't she go back home? Her house was safe now, right? The other part of me didn't care, she was here. Usually I would go straight to the alcohol, but my love for her was much stronger than my love/hate relationship with my alcohol. Using my vampire senses I tried to figure out where she was. I checked Stefan's room, the dining room, and the 4 other bedrooms in the house. I had checked every room in the house, except for one, mine. Slowly I walked up to my bedroom and stopped. After taking a moment to get my emotions under control, I cautiously pushed the door open. My heart literally jumped in my chest. There she was, Elena, sleeping soundly, in my bed. The heavenly glow of the moon through the window shone off her face making her look like an angel. I ran my fingers over her face gently trying not to wake her. The emotions going around my head right now were overwhelming. The feelings that I had for Elena were new territory to me. I have never felt the way I feel for anybody like I feel for Elena. The way I used to feel for Katherine looked like a rainstorm compared to hurricane I felt for Elena. I didn't want to believe that the sire bond effected Elena's feelings, but I can't help but have doubts. The fact that Elena is here, and she didn't leave just shows me how much she feels for me. Suddenly Elena started thrashing around and moaning something even my enhanced hearing couldn't pick up. Slowly I slid under the covers next to her to try and calm her. I slipped my arm around her waist. She immediately tensed in my arms. I started whispering soothing words in her ear. Almost immediately she molded into my body and sighed. I smiled softy and thought 'it's almost like she knew it was me' I softly stroked her hair affectionately. Elena flipped over so she was facing me, and she nuzzled herself into the crook of my neck. A trace of a smile illuminated off of her face. I could feel my eyelids getting heavy as I looked over Elena, reveling in my love for her. I finally fell asleep while memories of our journey flashed around in my head. The road was long and hard, and there is still more trials to come. But I would trade any of it for the word. I got the one thing that I wanted my whole life, Love.
