Note: I don´t own the characters. I live in Mexico and episode 1x19 hasn´t been aired yet so have some patience with details. Also I'm not a native speaker so I apologize for the mistakes. Please review so I can improve. I have corrected the spelling or most of it

"Come over now" Elena could hear Damon´s impatience trough the phone before he hanged up.

The tone he used for the last word, compared to his calm, relaxed voice, had a mixture of anger and fear. She was still wearing the dance dress and heels when she jumped in the car. She was so tired she had a hard time remembering that she had to open again her eyes after she each blink. If was a nice summer night, perfect for a nap, but she knew if she stopped Damon wouldn´t be so happy. And an angry Damon wasn´t a nice picture.

He opened the door before she even knocked. "I told you I could help look for him after the beauty contest." She was going to add how annoying it was to drive late at night after a day like that but she stopped when she saw his look.

"You are practically a zombie Elena you need a good nap." He moved so she could get inside. "I need somebody who can keep his eyes open for finding him"

"He's a crazy blood seeker that drives a luxury car joined by a blond girl. He's not that hard to find." She sat in front of him

He tried to smile but then he contracted his face in a grin of pain. He laid down and he said. " I didn´t need your help after all. I found them. The girl is OK but he wasn´t pleased to see me."

"Stefan! Oh where is him?" Elena suddenly felt awake and alert. "Come on! Get up!"

"Damn it! Dear Damon what happened?" He started imitating her "Did he resisted and fought with you? Did your own brother tried to stab you with a stake? Do you have a splinter about 20 inches long inside of your lung?" He could have gone on and on but he couldn´t breath

"Jesus I'm sorry can I….." I was impatient for seeing Stefan but I couldn´t do it without him,.

"The reason why I called you is because you have small fingers and I need you to take it out before it heals." I lie down aside. He took off his shirt and revealed the cut

"Why haven´t you taken off your shirt earlier?"

"You have this fantasy where you are irresistable to anybody and I didn´t want to feed your ego making you think I was trying to make a move on you. Now if you get your hand in there you'll feel it imediately"

The injury looked pretty bad but it didn´t bleed anymore. I tried to put aside my disgust and introduce my fingers in it. It was more deep than I thought , going all the way through the muscle and I fear that maybe I may touch something I should´t. If it wasn´t for his voice guiding me trough his body I probably would panic at the idea of being inside a person. I took the splinter on a single move and the flesh healed not leaving even a mark on the skin.

He took a deep breath and then sat next to me.

"There's something more, I did catch him and he's on the basement with the chick. .." he seemed angry with him "dear, he doesn´t wants to see you."
