Title: Back from the Edge
Author: ~tchele~
Pairing: Damon/Elena(sorry I don't write anything else)
Authors Note: Just a little Point Of View fic from Elena's POV following the final scene between her and Damon in "The Hybrid"
OK so I wrote this in sections since "The Hybrid" aired. I'm not incredibly happy with it, but I wanted to get it finished before the next episode airs(tonight) I don't have time anymore for writing longer fanfics so I try and contain myself to only writing short POV's I wish I had the time to devote to longer fan fictions.
"When I drag my brother back from the edge and deliver him back to you, I want you to remember the things you felt when he was gone."
With that he was gone. I was vaguely aware of Ric's presence and query of if I knew what I was doing. To be perfectly honest I wasn't sure at all of what I was doing. These last few months without Stefan have changed me and I didn't even realize it was happening until now. I have tried to say I'm "independent" and at the same time I will find Stefan. In actuality though I have realized I need Damon. Tonight waiting with Ric on that mountainside made me realize how much I depend on Damon.
We have managed to get through the time without dwelling on what happened when he was on his deathbed. That horrible night is perpetually stuck on repeat in my head like some techno song. If Damon knew how much I think about that night, that portion of that night anyways, I'd never hear the end of it. It wasn't just my confession to him that I like this version of him or that kiss that I spend some much time replaying, but Katherine's parting words. Those words that still give me chills.
I fear the day is coming where I will be unable to contain my thoughts and I will confess all my feelings to Damon. I don't want to be like Katherine, especially when it comes to Damon. She toyed with him and made him believe he mattered when at best to her he was a substitute for her real love, Stefan.
His words from tonight are now added to the loop in my head. When I drag my brother back from the edge and deliver him back to you, I want you to remember the things you felt when he was gone.
I will certainly remember these feelings. As much as I try to escape them now I can't seem to get away from them. I fear Katherine's words as she departed are almost prophetic. That day of reckoning is coming when we do in fact find Stefan and bring him back from the darkness that is enveloping him and right now I am so confused I don't know what my choice will be.
