Prologue: 25 Years Before
"I'm sorry Stefan, but I can't do this anymore," Elena whispered, Stefan nodded and watched Elena's expression change as she tried to hold back the tears that threatened to fall.
"Elena, no matter what you do I will always love you. I will always take care of you; I will protect you from everything. Elena whatever you choose I will always be there when you need me," Stefan said, pulling Elena closer to his cold body and hugging her tightly without hurting her with his vampire strength.
Elena cried into his shirt and after a second pulled back and looked up at him with puffy eyes. His heart clutched and he forced a smile to his face, Elena looked up at me and then I turned and walked away. In the shadows Damon watched as Elena walked away from Stefan and Stefan tried to stay absolutely still and refuse his emotions to show.
"Elena!" Damon called, after Stefan ran off into the forest moments later.
Elena turned round and saw Damon standing under a dimly lit street light, Elena sighed and then tried not to look Damon in the eyes, she had just stopped crying and if she saw the hurt in his eyes it might just brake her.
"Are you leaving?" Damon asked, Elena nodded not being able to speak.
"Yes, I can't deal with this anymore," Elena asked, after a long silence.
"Will we see you again?" Damon asked, almost weakly.
"Once I'm ready," Elena asked, turning again and leaving Damon standing completely alone.
