She could hear familiar voices near her..
"Stefan go home. Quit hovering over her. She'll wake up soon enough."
Was that Damon talking? Is he here? Oh my god…what happened to me?
"I'm not leaving Damon. She's going to need me when she wakes up."
Why am I going to need Stefan? We broke up months ago. Does he not understand that I'm in love with Damon? Well I guess not seeing as I've never actually said that to him…or to anyone for that matter.
"Seriously brother, go home and get some sleep there's nothing you can do right now. She'll wake up when she's ready. She's been through a terrible few days. She just needs some time for her brain to recover."
A terrible few days? What happened? Oh my god…the bridge. Matt and I drove off of Wickery Bridge into the water. What happened after that? I remember Stefan being there and getting Matt out and then I kind of blacked out.
"Damon, you don't understand how hard this is going to be for her. She never wanted this."
"Stefan, I know that. Look, don't try and blame yourself for this. None of us could've ever imagined this would happen. If she does in fact need you, she sure as hell doesn't need the broody depressing you."
Why can't I remember anything after we went off of the bridge? Ughh why is my head hurting like this?
Just then Elena winces in pain.
"Elena? Elena, I'm right here. Open your eyes. Please." Damon is frantic wondering if she's going to be panicked when she wakes up. He feels for her so much. Much more than anyone else can comprehend.
"Damon…w-where am I?" She asks as she begins to open her eyes. She looks around and this room looks familiar? Am I in Damon's room?
"You're in my room; we brought you back here after the accident. Elena, do you remember what happened?" Damon asks.
"I remember that Matt and I were driving to find you and we ran off of the bridge. Stefan was there." She shot a glance over at him standing in the door way. "I made him get Matt out of the truck, he wasn't moving. The next thing I knew I had blacked out."
"Look I know this all must be very confusing to you, but I want you to understand that you are going to be alright. We are going to help you through this." Damon had such a sincere look on his face, he was genuinely worried about her well being. She loved when he was like this with her. He was her protector her guardian angel. God she loved him.
"I kn…" Just as she was getting ready to respond to Damon, something inside her shut down and she fell unconscious.
Damon shot up and looked at his brother. "What's wrong with her..she shouldn't have fallen back asleep. She should be extremely alert right now. That's part of the transition."
Stefan ran over to stand on the other side of Elena with a worried look on his face. "I know. It doesn't make any sense. Something's wrong."
Elena couldn't hear the brother's talking anymore. Her chest felt heavy as if she was having trouble breathing. Her mind was foggy as it usually gets before she falls asleep. Her body felt numb. What was happening to her?
Damon stood beside the love of his life. He felt helpless. This wasn't usually part of the transition. He thought back to the night everything happened.
"Damon, I'm coming to find you. Don't go and do anything stupid. Matt and I are on our way, we will be there shortly." Spoke Elena.
Damon had decided to be the Hero of the Century and hide Klaus' dessicated body a few towns away in an old Storage Building. He was trying to draw Alaric away from Mystic Falls so that he could get rid of the Vampirious Monster he'd become once and for all. Damon sat alone with Klaus' body as he began to hear footsteps.
"Show Time" He said in his usual sarcastic manner.
"Damon….I know you're here. It's just a matter of when I find you…" Alaric said in a teasing manner.
Just as Alaric was turning a corner Damon ran up behind him and stuck a vervain filled syringe in his back.
Alaric reached his hand around to his back and pulled out the syringe. Little did Damon know that Vervain didn't affect him. One of the perks of being an invincible Vampire Hunter. He shot his arm out to Damon's chest sending him flying down the hallway.
Damon was shocked the vervain hadn't worked. He was kind of banking on that but he wasn't totally surprised. He was back in Alaric's face within seconds.
"That all ya got oh mystical Vampire Hunter?" Damon said teasing.
"Not even close." Alaric replied as he took the wooden stake hiding in his jacket sleeve and shoved it in Damon's abdomen. "You see Damon, things might be different if I was Human and still your lap dog, but I'm not, so unfortunately for you…. this is going to be your end. Any last words?"
"Go to hell you bastard." Damon said. He felt scared for a second; he knew he was going to die there. He would never be able to tell Elena how he feels about her.
Just as Alaric pulls the stake out of Damon's stomach to reposition it into Damon's heart, he starts to feel choked. He couldn't move…. he was dying. Damon shot up standing over him he knew what this meant. Alaric's life was linked with Elena's. As long as she was alive so was he. But he was dying now….how could that be?
Oh no….Elena. No god please not Elena, she can't be dead. Please no, she can't be dead.
Damon rushes to pull his phone out of his pocket to call Elena….no answer.
"Come on Elena, pick up the damn phone." Just as he was getting ready to dial her number again, he received a call from Stefan.
"Stefan, where's Elena? I'm standing here with Alaric and he's dead. Please tell me that Bonnie did some witchy ju-ju crap to make that happen?"
"Damon I'm so sorry. Matt and Elena ran off Wickery Bridge. I tried to save her but she wouldn't let me. She made me get Matt out first. By the time I got back down to her it was too late."
"Where is her body? I need to see her." Damon said angrily.
"They're taking her to the hospital to confirm death." Stefan said painfully
Damon threw his phone down, got in his car and blindly sped his way to Mystic Falls hospital. He was so angry and yet in so much pain. The love of his life was gone. How was he ever going to be okay again?
As he pushed his way through the Hospital Dr. Meredith Fell stops him.
"Damon wait, you need to understand. When Elena came in here earlier today from hitting her head, her injuries were worse than I led on….Damon I helped her."
"You did what?" Damon felt a huge shock of relief. He knew what Meredith meant by help. She had given Elena vampire blood. He couldn't believe she would come back. He was ecstatic.
Damon pulled away from his thoughts back into reality. He looked down at Elena lying on his bed yearning for her to wake up. He needed to hear her voice.
I don't feel so heavy anymore….oh my god what is this pain I'm feeling? It feels like every nerve in my body is on fire…
Elena started to toss and turn in Damon's bed. She seemed to still be sleeping but she was thrashing around in the covers. Damon looked over at Stefan confused.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak Elena shot up in the bed taking a huge gasp for air.
