Rated:M for sexual content and language in places

This story is going to hopefully show the relationship between elena and damon progress and build, i have some reall sweet ideas for this, i'm so excited about writing ;D

I've noticed that i update my stories whenever i feel like it lately, i want to let you guys know that i will be updating and posting at least twice a week! ! Anyway, ive rambled on enough now, enjoy this little fan fic i came up with...xx

Elena stared at Ester with wide eyes,"Please, why are you doing this?" Elena's voice broke a little at the end, and it was no wonder, ester had captured elena and dropped the bombshell on her that she would be sending her back to 1864... Ester looked sternly at elena, like she was some sort of sick,twisted teacher or something...

God elena did miss alaric, if only he could be here right now, evill and sick in the head..anything, she wouldn't mind if he was trying to kill her as long as he was there for god sake, with alaric around, everything felt like it was going to be okay, it was just the was he was there for everyone..

"This is for your own good elena, you need to be sent back to a time when the Salvatore s were much different, much simpler, and most importantly, human." Elena jumped a little at the word 'human', just lately she was the only human around. She thought about ester's words, both the salvatores had left her and deserted elena after bonnie fucked up with her love spell, yeah more like hate spell, damon was supposed to ask elena to marry him, but the plan backfired and both the salvatore brothers seemed to hate her.

Yes, it was a stupid mistake and elena would of gave anything to turn back the clocks, but she couldn't, ester's proposal seemed to sound like her best life option. But then that would mean leaving bonnie and jeremy and matt and...no, she couldn't do this. Elena decided to turn ester's offer down, she couldn't leave everyone she loved,"Ester, i'm sorry, but i can't, if i leave, everyone that i love will have lost someone, me, i just couldn't bear to leave them..."

Elena was sure of her words untill ester chuckled, like elena was missing something, like she was some sort of idiot..if ester hadn't of had inhuman powers, she would have been rugby tackled with all of the tips matt had given her when they got drunk at tyler's party that time..."My dear, elena, once you've travelled back into 1864, you wouldn't have exited in the future, nobody will have any recognition of an 'elena' ever being their friend."

Again elena thought, if they would forget, then... it was worth a shot, she had nothing to loose now," Okay ester, do it" Elena nodded to herself, almost reassuring her mind that everything would be okay. Ester nodded with a smile," Thankyou, elena, i only want what is best for you is all, now hold still while i send you back in time, and since i'll never see you again, goodbye elena, it was a pleasure getting to know you." For once, ester was showing her good side, for a change she wasn't threatening elena with some crazy witchy voodoo spells..wow elena was starting to sound like damon..

Elena suddenly felt her whole body become weightless, she squeezed her eyes shut, not wanting to see her surroundings change around her, she wouldn't be able to handle that. It really didnt take long, elena was expecting it to take a while, what with it being a huge spell and all..but no, elena felt herself fall into a patch of what felt like grass. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around, it looked like an old fashioned farm, she was in 1864...

She felt a little dizzy, but she knew that she couldn't stay on the ground forever, someone would see her, she tried to push herself up, but fell back to the ground, she'd hurt her knee when she fell fro, wherever it was she came from. Suddenly she heard a farmiliar voice from behind her," Miss, are you okay? Can i help you up?" It was damon, but it wasn't damon...he sounded so, innocent.

Elena turned to face him, and it was damon, but he had curly black hair which fell just below his ears, he wore a muddy shirt, it looked like he'd been lips parted a little, he gasped," May i ask your name, miss?" Elena got to her feet and smiled at damon," Oh sorry, i'm elena." she tried to sound normall, she tried to sound like she didn't know this truly amazing man.

He smiled and looked at her body,"Well, miss elena, i must say you truly are the most beautiful woman i have ever seen...but what strange clothes you are wearing..I'm damon" He mused, his hands held together in front of him, his smile, pure, but confused. Elena tired to make up an excuse," Oh, i'm not from here, i'm sort of lost." And in her defense, that was the truth, she was completley and utterly lost. Damon held out his arm," Oh, well miss elena, it would be my pleasure for me to supply a place for you to rest tonight."

Elena had completley fallen in love with this damon, she sighed with a smile," Oh, really? Thank you so much, it would really help me out." she took his arm in hers as they headed to his house. They walked inside, it was huge, and very posh, his family mush have been rich, really rich. "Wow" she gasped," you have a beautiful home, damon." Damon chuckled," Why thank you miss elena, that would make you and my home almost twins." Elena's heart swooned, she love his sweet little comments that he made, he was a real gentelman.

Suddenly, an old looking man appeared through the door,"Damon? What are you...Oh, well hello young lady, who may you be." The man was obviously damon's father Giuseppe, his tone was rough, but he put on a polite smile. I curtsied as best as i could, and i failed, i bet i made a complete ass of myself," Hello, i'm elena, it's very nice to meet you." I tried to smile politely and remember those etiquette classes that my mom had forced to me to attend that one time.

Geuseppi nodded with a smile, and looked at damon, as if he was to offer an explanation, damon nodded," I found miss elena just a while ago, she's lost, i have been ever so generous as to supply as place to rest for the night." I could see what damon had talked about, when he told me that him and his father weren't close, the tension was lurking in the air. Giuseppe nodded," I'm afraid the only room we have free is damon's, i hope you dont mind my dear." I shoook my head, in fact there wasn't anyone eles that i would rather share a room with.

Damon smiled to me," so, would you like to go for a walk, miss elena? You did mention that you are unfamiliar with the area..." Damon was so adorable when he was flirting. I nodded and took his hand, Giuseppe gasped," Damon, are you and this lady, courting?" His father sounded disgusted, i released my hand and looked at damon with a frantic look. He stuttered a little," U,um, yes father..." He sounded terrified.

Giuseppe almost laughed," Finally, my boy will be out of the house soon." Damon cleared his throat and began to leave with me by his side. We headed outside, i turned to face him almost immediatey," Damon, i'm so sorry..i didn't mean to..." Damon interupted me,"No, miss elena, pardon me for interrupting you, but there is nothing to apologise for, my father can be a beast at times..now, shall we visit a secret place i know? It is very beautifull miss elena." I nodded and carried on walking, miss elena, he sounded so formal, so posh, it just made him sexier, i had to remember that this was the old damon and he didn't have all of his moves to use, heck, i bet he hadn't even had sex yet.

"Yes, thank you, that would be very nice, i'd like to get to know you damon." And in all honesty i really did want to get to know him, the real him, before he changed. He smiled and headed us towards a small stream, blue flowers surrounded the trickling river. They were a perfect shade of blue, they matched his eyes perfectly. He sat down on a patch of moss and gazed at me with those perfect, innocent blue eyes."So, miss elena, tell me something about yourself, surely a beautiful woman like you has been on many adventures, probably with her husband..?"

He was being so cute, asking me if i was married, i was very pleased when i told him that i wasn't, and by the twinkle in his eye i could tell that he was happy too, he was so amazing, a gentleman, sweet, considerate...the other damon would only show parts of his humanity, but this was the real damon. The day didn't seem to last long enough before it began to get dark, before we left, damon made me close my eyes. When i opened then damon handed me a bouquet or the blue flowers we'd been sitting by. I smelled them, they smelt lovely, a little like damon infact.

We headed back to the house and into damon's room, he pulled out an old matress and laughed, something nice to see damon do," I'm afraid this isn't a very divine bed for you to rest on..." He made the bed and placed the pillows on top before handing me a rose coloured night gown. Damon's father suddenly came into the room," If you need me i shall be resting on the top floor tonight, and remember, i can hear evrything so you two, don't even think of getting up to any funny business." I nodded, and smiled, but he didn't return the favour, he simply grunted and shut the door.

I suddenly felt a very cold draft, i realised how much i would miss central heating now, damon saw me shiver," Miss elena, would you like a blanket?" He gestured for me to use his, i shook my head," no thankyou damon, but thats very kind of you, and you can call me elena." i didn't like the formality of 'miss elena'. He chuckled and nodded, looking down and blushing, something i'd never seen damon do, it was a treat.

We both decided to get some sleep soon after, but as much as i tried, i couldn't sleep, the draft was too cold, i was freezing, without even thinking i climbed off my bed and headed to the side of damon's bed, i shook him slightly,"damon" i whispered. He turned in his sleep and mumbled something, i shook him again,"damon" thia time he woke up, he looked at me, half asleep, but smiled,"elena? are you okay?" he questioned.

I nodded,"i'm really cold in my bed, i dont mean to be rude, but would you mind if i climb in next to you?" I felt silly asking the question, i felt like i was being too forward, but it could have been a matter of life and death, i could have easily froze on the floor. He tried to hide a faint smile and moved over, it was very convenient that he had a double king size bed. He moved over,"ofcourse, i'll keep you warm." he smiled, i climbed in and snuggled up next to him. It didnt take long for me to fall asleep after that...
