A/N: Okay, so I know I was being a bitch not updating for so long, but I was in another country and I couldn't update for long, and now that school is coming... well I might not be able to but I'll try! xx

Elena's POV

Elena was shocked. Did she just... hurt Damon? She let go of his neck and tears started flowing from her eyes.

The pain in her body was so enormous it felt like her body was on fire. But mostly her head, and teeth. Now she knew how Vicki felt when she was in transition.

"I'm so sorry, Damon..." she whimpered, sitting down on her bed and looking up at him. He was rubbing his neck, but when Elena let out a high 'ee' he let go of his neck and smirked,

"Apology accepted." Elena smiled, although the pain she felt probably made it wonky. She laughed when he said "But I can't say it didn't hurt..." He looked at her, furrowing his eyebrows. She covered her mouth with her hand and faltered,

"I'm sorry, I didn't..."

"No, I understand, come on." Damon held out his hand and Elena caught. She stood, and they exited the room. She let go of his hand and pointed down at the living room with her head. He nodded. Elena focused her mind on running... vampire speed. In one second they were by the door. Only Caroline or Tyler might have heard them. She didn't mind them knowing. Damon quietly reached out for the handle and pressed it noiselessly. The door silently squeaked when Damon was opening it. They froze. And listened. People were getting up. Elena and Damon exchanged glances and ran as quick as they could to Damon's car. But as they were at the car someone caught each of their necks. Elena now understood how Damon felt. The pain was quite strong, but a bit tingly. It felt different then it did when you were human. When she was human it just hurt like hell. Elena looked up at the owner of the hand that was closed on her neck. Caroline. Tyler was strangling Damon. Both of them let go ashamed when they saw who they were strangling.

"Oh..."

"Sorry Elena! I thought you were a unwanted vampire..."

She looked up at Elena's eyes.

Elena's eyes filled with tears which soon started flowing. "Caroline..."

Caroline's eyes were unreadable. She was just staring into the trees behind Elena. She stepped back and turned to Tyler.

"Tyler, get back inside, tell everyone that nothing's wrong." She commanded, still looking into the trees.

"Why should I? At least tell me what's going on!" Tyler turned to Caroline, furrowing his eyebrows with a annoyed look on his face. Elena... She could see all of this now, even if it's dark outside... She shook her head, looking down at her feet.

"Go."

"Caro-"

"JUST GO!" Caroline turned to face him.

Tyler took one last look at Elena and he understood. It showed on his face. He took his hand out of his pockets and ran inside.

Caroline looked at Elena, who was now shaking, glued to the car. She looked around for Damon, who was already in the car.

"Come on Elena, we don't have much time!" He shouted out of the car.
Elena looked up at Caroline.

"Are you coming?"

"Where are you going?"

"To the Salvatore house. To... Get a blood bag."

"I'll... Stay."

With the tension around them, none of them noticed the arrival of Bonnie.

Damon's POV
Damon was sitting in the car, really bored now, waiting for Elena and the damn blonde to stop the chatter. Elena didn't have much time before she would die.
But then... Something came to him. Why did Klaus want her dead? He can't make more hybrids without Elena's blood... His thoughts were interrupted by a shrill scream. He was outside by a mere second. Elena was glued to Bonnie's neck, Bonnie was screaming, Caroline was shouting at Elena and trying to pull her away from Bonnie. Everyone was now pouring out of the house. Damon ran up to Elena, grabbed her shoulders, pulled her away from Bonnie and slammed her against his car. Her eyes slowly became normal and her fangs disappeared. She looked at Bonnie and tears started flowing from her eyes.

"Did I?" She whispered, wiping the blood from her lips. Damon nodded.

"Bonnie!" She shouted, wriggling and pushing Damon away.

"I forgive you!" Bonnie whispered, knowing Elena can hear her. "I know you can't control it. It's okay."

Elena nodded, tears flowing freely from her eyes. Damon stirred her into the car and got in on the other side. She was looking down on her plaited fingers.

When Damon pulled away he asked her,

"Why did you do it?"

"I hugged her, and her blood... It smelled like blossoms and cherries..." Elena laughed when she described how Bonnie's blood smelt. "I didn't know that's how you can describe how blood smells..."

Damon pulled out a coat from the back seat with one hand and covered Elena with it.
She smiled at him and said

"It wasn't Klaus and Stefan who killed me."

Damon stopped the car roughly.

"What?" He hissed through his teeth.

"It was someone who went into my head and created the image of them. I know cos' I can feel it. And Bonnie told me before..."

"Before you accidentally sank your fangs into her neck." Elena smiled at that version of the incident. Damon made the car drive again.

"Yes, before I accidentally sunk my fangs into her neck."

Elena shivered.

As Damon pulled in on the driveway to the Salvatore house, the first lights of dawn shone through the clouds.

Elena's POV
"Elena..." Damon caught her hand as she was reaching to open the door.

"Wha-" She hissed then caught herself breathing in deeply calming herself down. The feeling of Damon touching her sent a heatwave all over her body, made her cheeks redden and she felt like heaven. "Yes?"

"Don't tell Stefan you're a vampire." Damon raised his eyebrows at her and wiggled them at her a bit.

"Stop!" She laughed at him. "But why not?"

"Because if you tell him, then you won't be able to be our secret weapon."

She thought about that for a while. Damon DID have a point. And it was pretty smart too. But with that the tormenting question came: WHY did Klaus want her dead? Even if it wasn't him, then why would someone else think he would want her dead? She shook her head, and looked outside. The whole Salvatore driveway was practically golden, shimmering in the sun now. Elena shook her hand out of Damon's grasp and put her hand in front of her, and it was in the sunlight. It burned like hell. The burning sensation travelled up her arm like an electric shock and she screamed and pulled her hand back, and the tips of her fingers tingled for a bit, before turning into her normal skin colour. The smell of her burning flesh evaporated from the air surrounding them and that was when Elena realised she had fell right into Damon's arms. She pulled away, blushing, hoping Damon wouldn't realise how different she acted around him. She sighed, and muttered,

"I guess I'll have to run then..." She took a deep breath and in a mere second she was by the door of the house. The burning feeling was all over her body now and she was blowing and huffing and hissing, stomping her feet, and waiting for Damon.

"You know," he smirked as he came up to Elena. "I could have just shared this" he made his ring shine in the sunlight "with you. But oh well, your choice." He smirked the jerk smirk and she punched him playfully as he was next to her now.

"You're such and ass!" She punched him, harder this time. "It hurt! A lot!"

"Ouch! I'm wounded Elena!" Damon mocked, putting his hand over his heart.

She smirked and sarcastically sighed,

"Right, blood bag time, can't wait!"

"Me neither! Especially when you're my special guest!" Damon said with a flirty voice, leaning against the wall.

Elena smirked and stayed silent for a bit.

"So... Are you coming inside or not?"

A rather annoying girly voice came from behind them.
Rebekah was leaning against the door frame, rolling her eyes and gaining annoyed looks from both Elena and Damon.

"What?" Rebekah hissed. "Just get in or get out!"

"We already are out, and, mind you, this is MY house." Damon smirked.

Elena laughed and pushed past Rebekah, who was eyeing Damon with fury. As Elena walked in, someone blocked her way. The person she definitely didn't want to see in that moment. Stefan.

"Hello Elena. You enjoyed dying? Liked our little surprise?" Stefan smirked and leaned against the wall on his left.
Elena, after hearing those words, didn't stand staring, not as it was expected of her, but she pounced at Stefan and they flew to the opposite end of the room, and she pushed his neck against the wall. Damon was... Well, he was trying to pounce at Stefan but now he was just trying to get Elena away.

"Get away Damon!" She hissed and threw Stefan to the floor. "So nice to see you again Stefan." She said, like a vicious lioness. "As to your surprise - yes and no." She smirked. "Yes because I am rather enjoying strangling you right now."

Damon's POV
Did Elena just say... 'I am rather enjoying STRADDLING you right now'?!

"And no" Elena continued, pushing Stefan even lower to the floor. "Because even though you knew how I fucking didn't wanna be a vampire you STILL took away my humanity. And I have no idea why Klaus would want me dead."

"He... Did...nt... Kno... Tha... You... Woul... Die... Fo... Reall..." Stefan panted, trying to push Elena off of his neck.

"Until I get a, get away FROM ME DAMON, valid answer you are not gonna survive till this evening so you better tell me what Klaus is planning. NOW!"

Stefan laughed, as much as he could. "You wouldn't kill me Elena. You love me too much." He tried to smirk.

Damon shivered at those words. DID Elena STILL love him even after all he had done? And did that mean that he would never be able to even get a chance to be with Elena? He had listened to Elena though, and didn't try to get her away from the ripper. Instead, he was rather 'letting it loose' and loosely leaning on the sofa frame. If he could, he would say he looked rather sexy.

"DON'T YOU DARE EVEN THINK I LOVE YOU AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO ME!" Elena shook Stefan viciously and threw him against the wall. Stefan whimpered as he hit the wall and slid down it. Elena walked up to Stefan, slowly, every step carefully 'measured and weighed', bent down to be face to face with the Ripper. She had her back turned to Damon, so he didn't know what facial expression she had. She hissed coldly, too low for a human to hear,

"Now that you know only a little of what-" Stefan carefully but quickly reached out his hand to Elena's neck, but she noiselessly and skilfully caught his wrist and his neck with the other. Stefan was choking with air and wriggling and tossing about, not gaining much. "-I can do, I advise you to be careful." She let go of Stefan, spitting and him and shaking her hands, stretching up, and Damon could feel the sexuality that rose up in him. He tossed his eyes around lightly, and they managed to land on Rebekah, who, unnoticed to anybody, was viciously slapping the air on the other corner of the room. No, not the air... She was frantically hitting a invisible glass that was created in between the four. Or... Three and one. Kind of like it was in reality. Stefan, Elena and Damon were locked in a constant triangle, but Rebekah was chucked out for eternity. Unless Stefan was to go back to her. When Damon slowly diverted his eyes back to Elena, she was slowly walking over to Damon, measuring her every step again. She looked super hot and sexy. Damon squinted his eyes not to use the sexuality he felt. Because if he did, that wouldn't be too good.

"Come on Damon," Elena stood right next to him, hand on hips, the other just hanging down her side. She looked sexy. "Come, let's get the blood bags. I'm STARVING!"

Damon slowly stood up and walked right up to her. If he dared, he would grab her and kiss her. But he didn't dare. She sighed and turned her head rapidly, smacking his face with her silky, soft hair...

"I'll come, if you don't know where the blood bags are. Which you do." Damon eyed her. He wanted her to be his so bad, but he knew it would never happen. She wasn't his to take. "But I'll come anyway." He smirked and turned away wistfully.
