The sound of Elena's cell phone vibrating woke her suddenly. She sat up and glanced around, realising she'd fallen asleep on a couch in the boarding house. It continued to buzz and she picked it up, reading the caller ID. It was Caroline, she internally sighed and braced her self for a cheery conversation that she wasn't in the mood for.
''Hey Caroline, what's up?'' she said in a friendly tone.
''Elena, where are you!?'' Caroline jumped straight into the questions, not bothering with the usual greetings.
''Erm...i'm at the boarding house waiting for Damon, is everything okay?''
Caroline sounded breathless on the other end of the phone. ''No, erm...i don't know. Damon's here, i found him near the grill and there's something really wrong with him. There wasn't anybody else who i could call who'd be able to help, he's totally messed up...so i called you..'' She was talking incredibly fast and Elena was struggling to proccess her words.
''Woah, Caroline slow down. What's wrong with him? Is he hurt?'' Elena had stood up by now, pacing around the sitting room listening intently to her friend.
''Yeah, Yeah he's hurt bad and he's talking funny...i was coming out of the grill and i saw him sat on the floor against the wall, which was a bit weird. So i went to him and i realised something was seriously wrong, and he's trying to run off and he's really strong. Elena it's taking all my strength to keep him here, i don't think it's a good idea to let him go because...Well when you see him you'll know. I didn't know who else to call because there isn't anybody who could help, Stefan's gone and...i just thought it would be best to tell you..'' She didn't even stop to breathe as she explained what had happened to Elena, who had also stopped breathing on the other end.
''Er..Um..Okay, can you get him back to the boarding house?'' Elena asked, running her hand through her hair. She was getting really worried now. What the hell had happened?
There was a commotion on the other side of the phone. ''OW! Damon, Jesus Christ!'' Caroline put the phone back to her ear. ''I might be able to get him to the boarding house, but it wont be easy. He's going mental.''
''Okay Caroline, be careful. I'll see you soon.''
Caroline was struggling to keep hold of Damon as he tried to break free, he was way stronger than her and it took every ounce of strength that she had just to keep him from running away. ''Er, yeah cya soon Elena''
The line went dead as Caroline hung up. Elena put her cell phone back in her pocket and paced around. What was wrong with Damon? Why is he acting weird? He was hurt but why hadn't he healed already?
She couldn't stop the questions running through her mind. Why wasn't it possible just to have a normal day in Mystic falls? She'd only come around to see him. Ever since Stefan left they had gotten really close and nowadays she hated being apart from him for too long. He'd really helped her to forget about the bad things that have been going on in her life. She was almost hyperventilating with worry as she wandered what could be wrong with him.
-TVD-
Elena immediatley turned around and began walking toward the hallway at the sound of the front door opening.
''Elena!'' Caroline's voice echoed through the house as Elena almost ran around the corner. She stopped dead in her tracks as she took in the scene in front of her. Damon had one arm over Caroline's shoulder as she dragged him through the door, supporting his full body weight. His head was slumped forward, his raven hair hiding his face. There was blood all the way down his slightly ripped t-shirt and atleast four stake wounds on his chest. He was trying to touch them but was obviously too exhausted to do so. Elena glanced at his hands, his skin was incredibly pale. She gasped and ran toward him.
''NO!'' Caroline shouted as Elena froze. ''Don't get too close to him yet, i think he's hurt some people. I don't know how he'll react around you.'' she added.
Elena frowned. ''Hurt some people? How do you know?'' she wanted to scream at Caroline, even though none of this was her fault. She just wanted some answers.
''I can smell human blood, it's all over him. I just don't understand why his wounds haven't healed.'' Caroline replied, struggling to keep Damon upright.
''I thought you said he was kicking off?'' Elena was barely paying attention to Caroline now, instead she was staring at Damon, just wanting him to be okay.
''He was, but then he just stopped and let me bring him here, i don't know...i think he's too tired to fight back.'' all of a sudden Damon dropped to his knees and almost brought Caroline down with him. ''Woah!'' she lifted his arm away from her shoulder and stood up, trying to stop him face planting the floor.
Elena intinctively ran forward and crouched down in front of him, ignoring Caroline as she protested. She couldn't see his face properly. Slowly, she lifted his dark hair and spoke to him, hoping he'd respond.
''Damon?'' he didn't respond.
She put her hand under his chin and lifted his head so she could see his face. She almost gasped when she saw it. There was blood all over his mouth, almost dripping from his chin. Crimson in contrast to his extremely white skin. His eyes were half closed, as if he were about to fall asleep. Even in the state he was in, Elena couldn't help but notice that he was still georgous. She felt a sudden urge to cry and wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a tight hug. Caroline was still talking in the background, telling her to be careful. He began to mumble something into her shoulder but she couldn't quite make it out. Suddenly his arm shot up to his face, covering his eyes as if a bright light had been shone directly into them. He pulled away from the hug, visably wincing in front of her.
''Damon!? What's wrong!?'' She almost couldn't breathe. She was so happy that he was responding but he was obviously in pain. He was trying to rub his eyes with the back of his arm.
''Damon?''
She grabbed hold of his forearm and lowered it so that she could now see his eyes. They were tightly closed, the veins around them clearly visable. He attempted to touch his face but Elena kept hold of his arm. Caroline followed Elena's gaze and her expression changed to shock.
''I don't understand what's going on. It looks like it hurts when his eyes go all vamp but it's not supposed to. He's not healing either. What the hell happened to him?'' Caroline said as Damon slumped forward and leaned against Elena. ''I think we should let him lay down or something while we work out what's going on.'' she added.
Elena nodded as she stroked his hair again. ''Can you get him to his room?''
Caroline nodded back and walked to Damon's side, grabbing one arm and hoisting him up slowly. Elena did the same on the other side and they slowly made their way up the stairs. Once they reached their destination, they laid him down on the bed carefully. He immediatley drifted off into a deep sleep and Elena climbed on the bed beside him, continuing to stroke his raven hair.
''What are we going to do?'' Caroline asked.
Elena mentally thanked god that her friend had been there to help. If it wasn't for her, Damon would most probably still be wandering around Mystic falls. She was the only one of her friends strong enough to control Damon and they were both lucky that she was the one who found him.
Elena looked up at her, as calm a face as she could muster. ''I think we need to call Bonnie.''
