PLEASE

!REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!

Damon lingered in the basement of the old Salvatore estate. He had been there for almost 5 days now and his body was shutting down. His blood had been loaded with enough Vervain for Stefan to control him. He didn't predict his brother would be able to go through with this but it seemed more and more unlikely that he was going to come down and rescue him.

Fear surged through his body and he began to truly realize that he was losing all control over his body. He could no longer stand, move his arms or even get off his back. His speech was almost completely incoherent but his brain continued to work perfectly. Frustration flooded through his veins. How long did Stefan say he would keep him down here? How long was he going to suffer this for?

Stefan's face appeared at the barred window of the wooden door. 'How do you feel?' His voice was blunt, but it did seem liked he genuinely wanted to know.

'Fan…' Damon finally forced out.

'I'm sorry about all of this Damon.' He kept his eyes at his feet. 'Soon, the Vervain will wear off. When it does, you won't feel pain anymore.'

'No… I'll… On..ly be paralyzed… for all of eterni…ty…' That thought actually frightened Damon. The thought of laying on his back, unable to talk, walk or move ever again but still have the capacity to think and feel made him want Stefan to drive a stake through his heart.

'Not all of eternity…'

'How… long?'

'I'll move you to the family crypt when you have dried out.'

Damon cringed. 'How… long?' he asked more firmly. He realized that he was uncontrollably showing fear and that Stefan could plainly see it.

'50 years? Maybe one hundred. Then, I will consider giving you another chance to change.'

'100 years?' Damon began to breathe quite heavily now. 'You can't… do that…'

'I'm sorry Damon. You brought this on yourself.'

'50 years is too…long… don't leave me…here for a hundred…'

'I'll review the situation in 50… Decide then how much longer you should stay there.'

'Don't…do this…'

'I'm sorry Damon…' Stefan turned to leave. He was hurting for his brother, this would be torture for him but he had to do what had to be done. There was no other option. He walked up to the main room and was greeted with Elena. She was looking at him with all the same sadness that she had left him with. 'Elena…'

'I want to speak with him.' She answered.

'I don't think that's a good idea…'

'I need too… Please.'

Stefan sighed. He knew after everything that had happened, he owed it to her to let her say what she needed to say to him. He nodded and led her down to the basement where she peeped through the bars at the exhausted vampire. He looked over at her with tired eyes.

'I'm sorry Damon…' Her voice was low, just loud enough to hear.

'Don't… do this… Please…" he answered. He attempted to move his arm towards her as if he was trying to reach her, but his arm dropped quickly.

'I know there's good inside you but… Stefan knows best and I'm going to let him take control of this situation.'

'I might…never see you again…'

She thought about this. Would she ever fall so deeply in love with Stefan that she'd want him to change her? So they could be together forever? If not, than this might be the final time she saw him. 100 years was a lifetime in human years and hers might end… 'I know…' She felt her eyes watering. He loved her but there was darkness inside him and after that night unfolded, there was nothing she could do for him… 'Goodbye Damon…' Her heart sank at those words. She wanted to reach out and hug him but she knew she couldn't. She turned and walked up the stairs she wanted to run but she couldn't bring herself to move that quickly.

'Elena!'

Damon's voice called from behind her but she kept walking… She couldn't let herself go back to him.

2 days later

Stefan made his way down to the basement. He looked through the barred window and stared at Damon. He was lifeless, his chest moved up and down but the rest of his body lay still. He unlocked the door and made his way inside. There was enough room for him to sit next to his brother, and he did.

Damon's eyes quickly moved to meet Stefan's. His body was still but Stefan could see in Damon's eyes that he desperately wanted to move more than anything. 'Damon… I'm going to take you to the family crypt now… I don't think I could watch you dry out… I'll let that happen in the crypt.'

Damon's eyes were wide and still. They stayed glued to Stefan's and looked as if they were begging him for mercy.

It was night, and Stefan was ready to take his brother to the crypt. He picked him up in both hands and headed for the Cemetery. No one had been there in decades and no one would come across it for decades more. Damon would safe there until the time came for his judgment.

The moon eliminated the sky as Stefan walked through the graveyard with a helpless Damon in his arms. They reached the back of the cemetery where the crypt was located. He placed Damon on the front step and unlocked the double doors. With little effort he pulled the doors open, picked his brother back up and headed inside.

It was dark and cold inside the large room. Stained glass windows covered in spider webs and dust let in very little of the moonlight. An empty coffin lay open and ready for Damon's paralyzed body. Stefan placed him carefully down on the velvet cushions inside and positioned his head on the small pillow until he was certain he was comfortable. He then arranged him so that his hands were crossed on his stomach and his legs were straight and relaxed.

'Damon…' He began. 'I want you to know that I care about you. I'm doing this for your own good. I want you to become a better man and re-educate you.' He sighed. 'And I hope that when I return you will be able to forgive me for all of this… Forgive me for everything…' His eyes started to blur and it was then he realized that he was beginning to cry for the first time in 147 years.

Damon starred at his brother, though his face did not move, emotion was clear in his eyes. Fear, anger and most of all, regret.

Stefan clenched his jaw and prayed for strength as he reached out and closed his brother's eyes genially with his fingers. He then closed the coffin door and sealed it. He walked from the crypt, closed the double doors and sealed them with a large lock. After placing the key carefully in his pocket he walked from the cemetery, tears streaming down his face.

Please Review and tell me what you think :):) Should I continue?
