XXXXXXXXX

Hey guys! So this is my first Vampire Diaries FanFiction and I'm super thrilled. I'm a diehard Delena fan! I see stories about Bamon and Stelena and I literally cringe lol. So I know this has been done a lot but I wanted to take a stab at it. This is a story about Elena being sent back in time to 1864. Buuuuutttttt Damon is sent back WITH her. They're sent to about two months before Stefan and Damon were turned, to be exact. It's set around 5x20 when Elena and Damon are broken up. They haven't been up to the cabin and Damon doesn't know that Enzo is dead, and Stefan and Elena are keeping it a secret.

Here we go, reviews to help make the story better are welcome and appreciated :)

As Elena walks into the Salvatore Boarding house, a.k.a her ex-boyfriend and his brother who happens to also be her ex's house, she feels a little shimmer of hope in the pit of her stomach.

Bonnie had called her earlier that day telling her to meet her and the brothers here because she had a spell that may be able to cloak her and Stefan from the travelers. They had been getting closer to completely overrunning Mystic Falls each day, but to be able to complete their diabolical scheme they needed the last surviving halves of the last two doppelgänger pair's blood. Hers and Stefan's blood, to make it sound less complicated. If there was even the slightest chance of getting the travelers off of their trail, Elena was going to jump at it. Even if it meant an awkward encounter with Damon.

"I'm here. Where are you guys at?" Elena calls out as she closes the front door. Her voice travels

through the rooms of the boarding house. She has fallen into a habit of doing that during her eighteen, almost nineteen, years of being a human and not being able to hear a pin drop in a crowded room with super sensitive vamp-hearing. So although the house was currently two thirds full of vampires who most likely heard her car driving up the street, she felt the need to announce her presence.

"Like you don't already know..." Elena picks up Damon's sarcastic voice with her vamp-hearing.

'Ughh, his voice is so sexy', Elena thought dreamily, 'Wait... Ugh snap out of it! Jesus, he doesn't even have to be in eyesight for me to fawn all over him! I'm ridiculous...'

"Ohh, Elenaaaaaa!" Damon calls out at a normal volume, and in a teasing, tone. "Why don't you stop fantasizing about me and come in here already so I can protect youuuu!"

"So YOU can protect her?" Elena hears her best friend, Bonnie, say to Damon in a pissed tone.

"Okay fine, you just do your witchy-woo, crap and cloak her, and then I'LL protect her for real when that fails... Cause well, we all know how dependable your magic is." Damon cockily suggested.

"You know what-"

"Guys!" Stefan, Damon, and Bonnie look up to see Elena step into the dining room, from where they're seated around the table. There are supplies for the cloaking spell piled on the table. "Won't you ever stop?"

"When Bonnie's not such an little bi..." Damon stops mid-word and begins to rethink his wording. "Witch."

"Good choice in words." Elena dryly congratulates him. "Now let's get to cloaking!" She claps her hands together and takes a seat in the chair between Bonnie and Stefan, deliberately away from Damon. Damon's ice blue eyes get a slightly hurt look in them, but it quickly passes. He can't help but look her over. She's wearing a white tank top , blue jean, ripped shorts, and has a red flannel tied around her waist. On her feet are black converse and her wavy hair is up in a loose bun. Little tendrils of her brown locks are framing her pretty face, making Damon itch to push them back and place a soft kiss on her lips. Damn, he thinks, why does she have to look so damn sexy?

"Okay, Bonnie, how does this work?" Stefan asks, leaning back against his chair.

"Well you take, the amulet," Bonnie holds up a dark red jewel surrounded by a silver plating. "And dip it in the African violet extract. According to Grams' grimoire African violets represent Spirituality, protection, and healing. Keep it on at all times. It'll keep you pretty safe."

Bonnie holds the amulet out to Elena. She takes it and reaches behind her neck to clasp it on. Her fingers fumble around until she finally asks for help.

"I got it." Stefan says as he takes the necklace from Elena. He brushes her hair to the side, his fingers lightly brushing the nape of her neck.

"Thanks"

Damon glares daggers at the two, rage and jealousy surging through him.

"No problem." Stefan says to Elena, with a dazzling smile.

Having seen and heard enough Damon scoffs and says, "Jesus, get a room why don't you?"

With an eye roll and a glare toward Damon, Bonnie repeats the process with a rope bracelet with a similar jewel and hands it to Stefan, who slips it on.

"Okay, now time for the spell. I am only cast it on one of you at a time... Who's first?" Bonnie asks, shifting her gaze from Stefan to Elena.

"Elena," Stefan speaks up. "I want her safe as soon as possible."

"Finally," Damon speaks up, "Something we agree on."

"Okay then," Bonnie turns to Elena, "Let's do this."

She begins to chant softly in Latin, with her eyes closed. Elena's amulet lights up bright red. Suddenly Elena's vision begins to blur. Her eyes roll back into her head and she begins to fall to the floor, Stefan goes to catch her but before he can Damon is there and catches her in his arms. He used his vampire speed as soon as her eyes began to close. He looks down at his beautiful ex-girlfriend, passed out in his arms. He looks up at Bonnie, who's too far into the spell to be able to stop, and then to his brother. His eyes hold an emotion that Stefan hasn't seen since before they turned into vampires... Fear. Damon looks truly freaked out by what happened to Elena.

"Stef, what's going on? What's wrong with her?!" Damon demands with wide eyes.

"I don't—" Stefan begins to answer, but before he can Bonnie finishes her chant and opens her eyes. There's a big flash of red light. They all must close their eyes cause it's so intense. When it clears, Stefan opens his eyes, only to see Bonnie, with no Elena or Damon in sight.

"Bonnie, what happened?!" Stefan panics. "Where are they?"

With scared and panicked look in her eyes, Bonnie shakes her head and whispers, "I have no idea..."

Once the red light clears, Damon opens his eyes. The first thing he does is look down to make sure Elena is ok. She seems to be peacefully sleeping. Damon takes a moment to soak in the feeling of her in his arms again. Then he becomes aware that the hardwood floor he was kneeling on was gone and replaced with a moist, mushy feeling. He looks down to see grass. Wet, mushy, disgustingly dirty, grass. Oh great, he thinks, now my new jeans are all gross.

Damon is brought out of his angry reverie by the feeling of Elena stirring in his arms. He looks down and sees her chocolate brown eyes fluttering open. "Hey you," Damon says softly as he finally gets to push back the hair in Elena's that he'd been itching to since he first saw her that morning.

"Damon?" Elena sleepily asks. "What's going on?"

"Well, Bon Bon seems to have screwed up, and ended up sending us into the woods." Damon explains as he stands up bringing Elena with him, but still holding on to her to be sure she's steady. He lets her go when she looks balanced and begins to look more closely at the forest they're in.

"Okay, then we better walk back to the house before the travelers find us." Elena begins to stalk of in the direction she believes is the Salvatore Boarding House.

"Woah, woah, woah. Hold up." Damon's voice stops her.

"What?"

Damon looks over at her with wide eyes. "Come check this out." He looks back at a large, old looking tree.

Elena joins him and look at the tree also. "It's just a tree. I don't get it..." She's confused as to what she's looking at.

"Look, right here." Damon points to a little carving in the bark. It's a heart with the initials "K.P." and "D.S." carved inside.

"Who's K. P. and D. S.?" Elena asks. Then it dawns on her. Katherine Pierce and Damon Salvatore. "Wait you don't mean that—"

"Considering this tree got burnt down in a forest fire about sixty years back, we're trapped in the past with Katherine, aka the evil bitch that we just killed and who broke us up?" Damon asks with narrowed eyes. Then he sarcastically answers his own question. "No actually I think we are in the candy-cane forest with a different Katherine Pierce who DOESN'T want us dead!"

"Haha. Funny." Elena responds dryly. "Well, what are we gonna do?"

"Well first of all let's get out of the woods." Damon takes Elena's hand and begins to guide her toward his house. "This forest was Katherine's stomping grounds and I don't feel like running into her right now."

"Well, then what are we waiting for?" Elena yanks her hand free from Damon's and stalks off in the direction he was taking her. "Let's go."
