Losing Your Memory
Chapter 1
Memory was a beautiful thing. Memory was responsible for us remembering all the things who make us who we are. It's something that we all have and it's something that we can all lose in the blink of an eye.
Damon Salvatore knew that Elena Gilbert was the one since he first laid eyes on her. It was during a Halloween party for one of his coworkers. He was dressed up as a vampire, yes he knew it as such a cliché outfit, but it was all he had in his closet at the moment, but then she entered.
Damon was talking to his best friend Bonnie Bennett and her best friend Caroline Forbes, when Elena entered the room dressed up as an angel. It seemed pretty fitting to him since she was the heavenly saint to his world.
He thought he wouldn't get to speak to her that night until she approached Bonnie and Caroline.
"Elena!" Caroline said giving the girl a hug.
"Oh my god, you didn't tell us you were in town." Bonnie said giving her a hug.
"Well I'm actually here to stay."
"Your dad got the transfer."
Elena nodded as she looked at Damon looking him over with those hypnotic eyes.
"Yeah he did, but that's not important right now. Who's your friend?"
Damon smiled at her and extended his hand.
"I don't think we've been properly introduced. I'm Damon Salvatore and you are?"
"Elena Gilbert."
"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl."
Elena laughed as Caroline and Bonnie looked as if they were going to gag.
"Are you always this charming?"
"Only with you."
Elena smiled at that, but Bonnie and Caroline had seemed to have enough.
"Alright girl. Let's hit the dance floor." Caroline said taking her hand as Bonnie prepared to join them.
"Okay. Are you coming with Damon?"
"Oh I don't really dance."
Elena smiled one of her dazzling smiles at her. "Someday I'll change that."
Damon smiled hopefully one day she would.
6 years later
Damon grunted as he opened his eyes grunting. What the hell had happened?
Sitting up he looked at his surroundings and gasped. The car was upside down and wrecked. How the hell had this happened. Elena. Elena!
He searched around the vehicle, but didn't see her. She was there with him when all of this happened. Where had she gone? Where was she?
These were the last things he thought before he blacked out.
The next time Damon was awake, he was surrounded by light. It appeared as if he as in the hospital, but there still was no sight of Elena. Where was she?
"Nurse!" He yelled.
A nurse ran into his room and checked on his IV.
"Are you in pain, Mr. Salvatore?"
"I'm fine, I just need to know about my wife."
"Your wife?"
"She was in the car with me."
"Mr. Salvatore, I might know where she is."
"Good. Can I see her?"
"She's different. Is her name Elena?"
"Yes. What- What happened to her?"
"I'll go get you a chair. I'll go take you to see your wife and her doctor."
Damon nodded wondering why the nurse wasn't telling him anything.
In a matter of seconds he was in a wheelchair and had a different nurse rolling him into Elena's room. When he was there he gasped at what he saw.
Elena laid there with a bunch of scars running up and down her hole body along with bruises. She had bandages all over and it looked like she had a brush with death. Which was different from what she usually looked like. He still loved her no matter what. They were together for the rest of their lives. Through better and worse. He had to know what happened to her.
Thankfully a doctor came in shortly afterwards to answer all his questions.
"Hello Mr. Salvatore. I know you must have a few questions. "
"Yes, what-what happened to her. She-She wasn't in the car with me when I woke up."
"You woke up."
"Only for a brief second. It was only a second. I remember driving the car and than something hit us than I remember waking up, there-there was glass everywhere and she-she wasn't there when I woke up. What happened to her?"
"According to the accident report, Elena wasn't wearing her seat belt during the time of the accident and she was injected from the car and almost died at the scene. She';s very lucky that she's alive, but there were a few complications during surgery that we need to discuss."
"What kind of complications?"
Before the doctor could say anything, Elena opened her eyes. She looked at Damon with a look of bewilderment. Like she didn't recongize him at all.
"Who-Who are you?" She asked him struggling to breath. "Who-Who am I?"
