Elena pov

I came into Damon's room expecting him to be dead , he wasn't but he sure looked dead. His breathing was uneven and he was ghost white. He looked exactly like Rose had when I was with her. I didn't want him to be in pain like what Rose went though. It hurt me to see him like this, I know it shouldn't but it did.

3rd person pov

Elena went over to Damon and sat at the end of the bed. "Heard anything from Stefan yet" he mangled to cough out. "Nope but there is still hope, you're going to live I'll make sure of that" she mangled to say though tears.

"How come you're crying over me? This is what I get for all I have done, this is my punishment. "You don't deserve to end like this, nobody does" "Rose did…"

"Well I am not going to let you end like she did"

"I'm sorry Elena for all I have done to hurt you and the people around you. I was never like this before I changed if you met in 1864 you would have liked me better".

"I like you know just the way you are….."

Elena went over to Damon and curled up beside him on his bed.

She looked up into his eyes and gently bent down pressing her lips onto his. She stayed there for a moment taking in what she was doing shocked that he smiled into the kiss. She pulled back looking deep into his eyes only inches away from his face.

As Elena got caught up in the moment, her phone beeped with a text message. She pulled back and slid her phone out from under her pocket.

Doppelganger's blood will cure – Stefan

Elena took a quick gasp at the text knowing what she had to do. "Here take some" she said pushing her wrist against Damon's mouth. "Elena I can't.." She showed Damon the text message. "Are you sure? "it's the only way for you to get better I want you too Damon".

Elena gasped as Damon faced turned into a monster and bit down hard on her wrist. It was painful at first but slowly numbed. After a couple of minutes Damon pulled away from her wrist wiping the blood off of his mouth. His color had returned back to his face and he could sit up and even talk well.

"You look better" she said smiling "I feel better thanks to you" "you're welcome" "Now we better go get Stefan from Klaus" he said as he stood up and grabbed her hand and walked right out the door.

So what did you think?
