"You are just like Katherine, and you always will be" Said Stephen in a hurt and angry tone.
"I didn't mean for it to be this way" Elena said in tears.-
Elena woke up suddenly from the terrible dream she had. She covered her face with her hands and heaved a huge sigh.
I know it's him, I know it's him for sure. I don't know why though. Why does this have to happen to me? Why me? How could I ever tell anyone about these strange feelings? I can't, I just can't. I have to keep this inside of me. If Stephen were to find out, he would be heart-broken. I know I shouldn't be feeling like this, what am I supposed to do? Just ignore these feelings I have for him? Yes. That is exactly what I need to do. Ignore these feelings. Will it be hard? Yes. Will I enjoy it? No. It's not easy though, knowing that he feels the same way I do about him, it's not easy to live with that. What if Stephen hurt him? No, Stephen wouldn't do that., I wouldn't be able to live if he did. Why me?
Elena sighed as she couldn't get Damon out of her mind. She remembered the first few days when he had been watching her, how she never knew anything about vampires, and never even knew Damon. There was something about him. Something alluring, as if she couldn't stop thinking about him. She couldn't. What was it about him? His sarcasm? His good looks? What could have possibly made Elena feel like this? She knew what it was. It was love. Elena knew that this was the feeling she had once felt for Stephen, but this was more. This was a feeling she had never felt, whenever she started to think about Damon, or be anywhere near him, she would start to get butterflies in her stomach, she would start to try and fix herself up, she would just… Stare at him. Think of him.
Elena heard knocking at the front door and with all her strength, she got up from her bed, walked downstairs and slowly opened it.
"Wow, you look… Different"
And there he was, just standing there at her doorstep, Damon.
