Elena ran out the woods, grabbing her head hoping the pain would end. Hoping that this would all be over. She looked out into the open party, looking for someone, anyone she knew, who could help her. She headed for the party when she saw Damon standing across the grass. There he was, her last hope. She ran to him as fast as she could. She knew he would know what to do, he always did. She reached him just in time to hear him whisper out her name. she wrapped her arms around him tight, hoping to stay there forever. "Thank god." she whispered as she rested her head against his broad shoulders.

"What's wrong?" Damon asked, unable to hide the concern in his voice.

"Katherine, she alive, or her spirit is, she is try to take over my body Damon. But I don't want her too, I am trying, but she's strong Damon, maybe even stronger than me." Elena blurted out. Still holding on to Damon as tight as she could. Damon slowly pulled her off him. He grabbed her arms and looked her dead in the eyes.

"She is not stronger Elena, you are a fighter, and you can fight her.I know you can." Damon said determined.

"I know Damon, I want to fight this, I really-" Elena's eyes went black, and she took a step back, Damon pulled her in close. Hoping to hold on to her long enough for her to come back to him. Elena backed away.

"What's wrong? Say something... please." Damon pleaded. He looked at Elena for a reaction, when there wasn't one. He knew it was too late he knew that Katherine had taken over. Now he just needed to see how far Katherine was willing to go with this. So he pleaded with her to take him back, begging for him to forgive him. He told her that he needed her, told her that without her he was only darkness, that walking away from her was the dumbest thing he could have ever done, because he knew that some part of Elena was in there, and he needed her to know how he really felt, even if she couldn't do the same. He watched every movement of Elena's face, as she broke up with him, constantly reminding himself that it wasn't real,that it wasn't Elena. It was almost to painful to watch, not only for himself but for Elena. To know that she was trapped, hurt him almost than the words that left her lips. So he watched her walk away, in fact he welcomed it. Because if he was going to do what needed to be done, he was going to have to forget the conversation that just happened. Forget all the pain he was feeling and focus on the pain Elena couldn't express. "You fought Elena, I know you did. Now it's my turn." He whispered,before turning to walk away walking straight past Stefan. He needed someone who he knew would help him, help him do what needed to be done without hesitation or remorse. He needed someone as cold as him. He needed Enzo. So he headed straight for the mansion where he left him, hoping he was still there. He burst in the mansion door, to see Enzo sitting by the fire now. Damon took a step forward.

"I don't know how I could have been so stupid. How I could have thought this time would be any different than the last time out. You didn't have the balls to watch me die before, so you did it yourself this time. I just want to know why, why Damon." Enzo asked, looking Damon dead in the eyes as he drank a sip of bourbon. Damon wasn't sure what to say, he knew it wouldn't be easy to convince Enzo to help him. But he didn't really think how hard it would be. So he decided to go with honesty instead.

"Fine Enzo, you want to know why. It's because I was selfish. I was forced to turn into a monster, into a vampire. So I built up this type of barrier. A way to ignore all the suffering,to somehow excuse my behavior. I saw myself as a monster,therefore I was one. So everything I did was excused because that's what monsters did. But then I was forced to become a Augustine vampire, and I learned there are far more monstrous things than vampires.I met you and I learned that all vampires weren't monsters. But then the time came to save you and I knew I couldn't. I couldn't save us both. But I wasn't that monster anymore, so I had to make myself one, I had to turn it off so I could do what I needed. I needed to become selfish again. If I didn't we would have both died. I had to Enzo" Damon admitted letting out a sigh of relief to have finally said it. He looked at Enzo for a reaction, hoping it was the one he needed. He watched as Enzo took another sip of bourbon. He sat across from him in silence. They sat silently for more than hour before Enzo finally decided to break the silence.

"You want a fresh start,is that it Damon. You want me to forget everything you did." Enzo asked.

"No, I don't want you to forget, but I do want you to forgive. I want us to move on, To both be free, of the pain and torment we endured. Enzo I'm not selfish anymore, I found someone who I can care about, Someone who loves me, and right now she needs me Enzo. She needs help, she needs someone to save her. I need to save her. I couldn't save you Enzo but I can save her, I just need your help to do you help me?" He asked. Enzo sat up now.

"You are talking about Elena, I know her. She was so scared on that table,when we talked. I don't know much about her, but I know if she is worth this much to you she is someone special. I will help you, and maybe then we can talk about forgiveness. What's wrong with her." Enzo asked. Damon breathed out a breath he didn't realize he was holding in. He told him about the possession, and everything that came with it.

"We have to go back to Wes's lab. He has to have some type of formula to knock out a vampire." Enzo said.

"You sure about that, you sure you want to go back to that place." Damon asked.

"Yes, I am sure Wes is probably long gone, now that all his test subjects got out." Enzo said, not exactly hiding his fear, and put his hand on Enzo's shoulder.

"Are you sure?" Damon asked again.

"Yes." Enzo said more demanding now, walking towards the door. When they finally got to the lab, Damon walked straight in, heading straight for all the tubes and medicine, blindly tossing things aside. While Enzo stood in the doorway unable to bring himself to the decision of actually entering the lab. "Do you even know what you are looking for" Enzo chuckled.

"Something along the line of sleepy juice,I don't know." Damon said turning towards Enzo. "Maybe she should stop be Mr. Judgy and come-" Damon stopped,pushing Enzo to the ground, as Wes swung his arm around the doorway injecting Damon with a syringe. Enzo stood up, smacking Wes into a wall , as Damon fell to the ground. Enzo stood over Wes's body making sure there was no life left, before turning his attention towards Damon. He walked over to help him up.

"You okay?" He asked pulling Damon up.

"That depends,did you get hurt?" Damon asked.

"Yea, I have a little cut on my hand,but it will heal,how did you know." Enzo asked. Damon looked up at him with blood red eyes, and elongated fangs.

"Then no, Enzo I am not okay, and you won't be either if you don't get out of here soon." Damon warned him.
