(A/N: My first time ever writing a Vampire Diaries story. But after watching last night's episode and listing to the Fray's 2009 album non-stop I got inspired. I planned out most of the story during my Trig. Class and I'm really excited. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as I do. I know it's short, but this is just the introduction. If you listen to the song "Enough for Now" by the Fray you'll understand why I started it like this. After this we'll go into first person POV – Elena's. The chapters will be much longer. This will always be in Elena's POV though. So, read, enjoy, and tell me what you thought.)
Disclaimer: I do not own anything affiliated with the Vampire Diaries, and if I did Damon and Elena would be together.

Enough for now
Prologue
()()()
A handsome dark haired man stood outside of his daughter's house looking through the window. She had grown up so beautiful. Dark hair, dark eyes, and olive skin made her a classic beauty. The only problem is that she was the spitting image of her. Of his sworn enemy. Because of that resemblance she had attracted more of his sworn enemies. Her sworn enemies. Not that she knew of course. She didn't realize that the guy she gazed up at with love in her eyes was a vampire. And a dangerous one at that. He would rather her be with Stefan than Damon. Stefan who was a vampire, but one who was still a good person. Anything was better than Damon. Damon who had no problem with killing to get what he wanted.
He smiled sadly as another passer-bier walked right passed him without noticing him. What did he expect though? He was dead. Had died nearly a year ago, leaving his daughter and son to fend for themselves. Leaving his daughter with so many lies and so much danger surrounding her. If he could go back he would, and he would tell Elena everything. He would tell her she was adopted, he would tell her who her birth parents were, he would tell her about Katherine, but most of all he would tell her he loved her and that he couldn't be more proud.
Except for the fact that it pained him to see her kissing a vampire. She doesn't know, he kept chanting in his mind. But deep down he knew it didn't matter. He knew when she did find out the truth she would stay in his arms instead of driving a stake through his heart like she should. She was too loving and understanding. He would never see her again because of it. He understood she would give up her humanity to be with Damon in the end. He could see it in her eyes. Her beautiful brown eyes.
He sighed as she led Damon up the stairs, presumingly to her bedroom. He didn't want to see that. He had to go back anyways. He was allowed to visit every once in awhile, but not for too long. Anyways, Miranda, his beautiful wife, would be waiting for him on the other side.
He could only hope that his brother John would drive a stake through Damon's heart before it was too later. Before he lost his daughter, John's daughter, to darkness forever. His dead heart couldn't take that.

(A/N: Short, huh? Yeah, but this is just the prologue. I hope that wasn't too confusing and I hope no one found it insulting. Ya know, the part about Elena's dad being a ghost-like figure and watching over her. I just put that in because of the beginning of the song. Now I have a question to ask for anyone who actually read this. What couples do you want? The main one is of course Delena, but what about the minor ones? I was thinking a little Damon/Elena/Stefan, Stefan/Caroline, Tyler/Bonnie, Jenna/Alaric, and Jeremy/Anna. But I would also write Bonnie/Stefan, Tyler/Jeremy, and Caroline/Matt. It's up to you guys but the love triangle is going to be in here, Delena of course, and Jenna/Alaric. Those aren't up for voting. So, review maybe? Longer chapter next time. Promise.)
