**3 weeks after she turned**
Elena's POV
It was girl's night again, tonight at Caroline's, yay. I've spent my whole day avoiding Stefan; I really wasn't in the mood to have boy talk and fun today. I've lost enough people lately, I lost Damon, I lost myself, my human self, and I'm starting to lose Jeremy. He is so into his relationship with Bonnie, I love that their happy together, but… I got out of the car and knocked on the door.
Caroline's POV
"Elena's here!" I gasped "She's early!" I sat up on my bed and pulled my hair back
"It's okay." He kissed me "I was just leaving." He sped out of the room leaving me with a smile on my face
I walked down the stairs and answered the door. "Hey 'Lena!
"Hey." She sighed
"What's wrong?" I questioned her, knowing she's had a tuff time since Damon left
"It's Stefan." I tensed up.
"What-What's wrong?" I faked a cough trying to hide my fear
"He's driving me insane. I don't do anything on my own anymore, I don't eat, sleep or breathe without Stefan by my side!" she exclaimed plopping down on the couch
"Ok, fine its girl's night no boy talk tonight." I told her just as a love-struck Bonnie walked through the door. Since she got back with Jeremy she was always in a daze.
"Great." I heard Elena mumble
"Bonnie? Can I see you in the kitchen?" I said pulling her into the kitchen
"What?" she huffed "You're all happy with your mystery guy, Elena's got Stefan and I've got Jeremy." She said
"Elena's not happy! She's miserable! Oh and Stefan IS my mystery guy!" I whispered
"What!" she screamed
I heard Elena get up and head towards us. She slowly entered the kitchen, tears on her cheeks. "I may not love him anymore, but my best friend. I'll admit that I don't love him, but how could you Caroline." She sped out of the room
Darn! I forgot she's a vampire! I thought to myself
"Nice one." Bonnie scoffed using her bring a vampire down spell on me. Bringing me to the floor in pain then exiting the house
Elena's POV
I had to get out of this town. I was driving across Wickery Bridge the same bridge I died going over, my parents died going over this bridge, so it was symbolic that I did the second time around. I closed my eyes for a split second and heard Damon's voice.
"You want what everyone wants."
My eyes snapped open "Damon." I whispered
No answer.
I drove the remaining way across the bridge and then onto a deserted back way out of town. I was hoping Damon was waiting on the opposite side of the bridge, because I don't know where his voice had come from, he'd never said those words to me before. I closed my eyes briefly once again and heard him.
"You want passion."
I opened my eyes looking to the sides of the road. Still no Damon.
Passion? When did I ever feel real passion with Stefan? But with Damon…There was the kiss on the porch after he compelled Jeremy the second time. The kiss at the motel that was true passion! There was no spark with Stefan, just security.
I pulled over and laid my head back and closed my eyes. I waited to see if I heard anymore 'phrases' you could say.
"I love you, Elena." "I can't be selfish with you." "An adventure." "Even a little danger."
I have to find Damon. I stared the car and pulled back onto the road, then in a sudden flash something came to me, a clip of the past.
**The night of the bonfire and car accident**
"Katherine?" someone asked
I looked behind me "Um…no I" I looked around again "I'm Elena."
"Oh you-you just look," he shakes his head "I'm sorry, you just really remind me of someone." He takes a step closer "I'm Damon."
"Not to be rude or anything Damon, but it's kind of creepy that you're out here in the middle of nowhere." I looked at him
"Your one to talk." He raised his eyebrows at me "You're out here all by yourself."
"It's Mystic Falls, nothing bad ever happens here." I smiled at him. I looked down at my phone "I got into a fight…with my boyfriend." I said with slight embarrassment
"About what?" he held up his hands as if to surrender "May I ask?"
"Life, future, he's got it all mapped out." I pursed my lips together
He looked at me with a questioning look "You don't want it?"
"I don't know what I want." I looked at him felling a sense of attraction towards this mysterious stranger
"That's not true," again another step closer "You want what everyone wants."
"What?" I flirted "A mysterious stranger who has all the answers."
He turned his head laughing slightly at my joke or attempted flirting "Well let's just say I've been around I long time, I've learned a few things.
"So, Damon," I continued my attempt at flirting "Tell me, what is it that I want?"
"You want a love that consumes you," he walked forward with every word "you want passion, an adventure, and even a little danger." He smirked
We were face to face now out eyes met, his were blue like the ocean reflecting the sun, you can see them sparkle even in the time of nightfall.
"So," I broke the silence "What do you want?"
He sighed. I heard a car and turned to see my parent's car. "That's my parents." I sighed
He looked straight into my eyes. "I want you to get everything you're looking for, but for now I want you to forget this happened. Can't have people knowing I'm in town yet." He smirked again "Goodnight Elena." With that he was gone
**Present**
Next thing I knew my car was flipping upside down in every and all directions. It landed on the top and I was stuck. I was to confused to focus on getting out. "Help!" I coughed
"Elena?" I heard a hushed whisper
"Help!" I screamed again
Just then Damon appeared at my window. "Elena." He said
"Damon, help me." I said urgency
"Let me get you out." He grabbed my seat belt and pulled it loose, making me fall forward. "You okay?" he asked helping me up
I fell loosely back into his arms though I knew I could stand and was fine. I just needed Damon right now. He picked me up bridal style and carried me away from the car. I soon fell fast…
Damon's POV
I looked at the sleeping angle beside me, I was driving her back to Mystic Falls where Stefan was probably frantically looking for her. She stirred. "Hey sleepyhead."
"Damon? Where are we?" she questioned sitting up
"Almost home." I told her
"What!" she exclaimed "Please take me ANYWHERE but there. Please." She begged
"Why?" I asked "Saint Stefan lost control again?"
"Well, Caroline and him are very happy together." I looked at him
"He's cheating?" I asked stopping the car
"Yeah. He is. But the best part about it, is that I don't love him anymore. I…I made the wrong choice Damon." She told me looking me in the eyes
"No…Elena, you know I don't deserve you." I told her
"You remember when I said if I met you first things might have been different?" she asked me
"Yeah why?" I questioned her
"I did meet you first. Why didn't you tell me Damon?" she asked me
I looked away from her "What are you talking about?" I asked refusing to meet her gaze
"Damon, don't do this. Don't shut me out. You know what I'm talking about, you thought I was Katherine. Then you told me I wanted a love that consumes me. Stefan never consumed me, in fact I told Matt when I was trying to choose that you were the problem when I'm with you it consumes me." She told me
"Elena…" I started
"Damon, don't." she begged "You know it's true."
I leaned over, before I could think I kissed her. IN return she kissed me back we turned in our seats and continued kissing, like the night at the hotel.
Bonnie's POV
I was looking for Elena as I had been all night. I saw a car on Wickery Bridge, is that…Damon's car? It was! He was supposed to be long gone, maybe he has seen Elena.
I pulled up beside it to see him and…Elena! I got out of the car and knocked on the window. He jerked up and saw me, him and Elena got out of the car. "Bonnie? What are you doing here?" Elena asked
"I've been looking for you all night. What's Damon doing here?" I asked actually happy to see him
"He saved me…again." She smiled
"What happened?" I questioned again
"I was driving out of town, after the whole Caroline thing, and these phrases kept coming to me, and then a…like a clip of a memory came to me and I had a wreak. It was a memory from when Damon had compelled me." She explained to me
"Oh…well I'm glad you're okay." I told her hugging her "So, where will you go from here, home to Stefan, or away with Damon?"
"I don't know, but I don't want to see Stefan, or Caroline!" she shouted
"I understand." I sighed "But Elena, Mystic Falls is your home and we can't all just pack up and move." I told her
"I don't want to leave, but I can't go back." She told me
"If I may…Why don't we go back, all of us together, and I can get Stefan out of town, because you," he pointed towards Elena "chose me."
"You, and you?" I looked at them
"Us." Elena said snuggling into Damon's shoulder
"I am actually surprisingly happy for you two." I told them smiling ear to ear
"You?" Damon chuckled "Miss. Judgey?"
"Yes. Me Miss. Judgey." I laughed "So what's it gonna be Elena?"
"We're going home…" she said
