Chapter 2


Elena woke up to the strong arms of Damon around her. She sighed and tried to move his arm off of her, but he only pulled her in closer and tighter.

"Damon," Elena whispered.

He moved his head into her hair and lightly planted a kiss on her head. Elena froze for a second then relaxed into him.

"Is it already time to get up?" Damon whined and rolled over, earning a startled squeak from Elena. She ended up on top of Damon's bare chest.

"What the hell? Didn't he have a shirt on before?" Elena thought moving her hands on either side of him trying to get up.

"Yes Damon it is. And when did you lose your shirt?"

Damon lifted his head up; leaning on his elbows and looked down at his bare upper half and smirked. "I don't know, when did you decide to take it off?" He wiggled his eyebrows and fell back into the silk sheets with a smile.

Elena huffed and got out of the bed. "Me? I didn't do that."

"Then where'd it go? Did my shirt just magically pop off? That would come in handy though." Damon put a hand to his chin and had a thoughtful expression his face, then smirked, "Yep would definitely come in handy."

"Oh I'm sure." Elena rolled her eyes. "You probably got hot or something then unconsciously took it off I don't know, but I have to go."

"Okay, do you want me to take you? Because I don't know if it's safe for you to be out there with Katherine and Stefan 'the blood crazed idiot' out there." Damon got off the bed and grabbed a black designer tee shirt from his drawer.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go and get my bag from Stefan's room and change I'll be out in a few minutes."

"Alright," Damon walked down the stairs and went into the fridge to grab some blood except there wasn't any. "Not again! Stefan, I'm gonna kill you!" Damon shouted and closed the fridge.

Stefan appeared and gleefully slurped up the last blood bag in front of Damon's face and smirked.

"I'm gonna wipe that smirk off your face if you don't move." Damon raised his fist as Stefan stopped and just smiled.

"See? Now you know how I feel.", Stefan's face contorted into a nasty looking scowl. "You better stay away from Elena, she's mine."

"Okay, what crawled up your ass and bit it? And for one thing that's a no-can-do right there little brother. I have to keep her safe from Katherine and you." Damon poked him in the chest then smirked and whirled around to grab a glass of scotch from the bar.

"She doesn't love you, she still loves me." Stefan said as Elena came down the stairs with her over night bag on her shoulder and her jacket.

"Sorry to burst your little bubble, but I don't love you." Elena said with a cold stare.

"Yeah, what crack are you smoking? And I never said she did, so if you'll excuse me I have to help a friend out today." Damon walked over to Elena and linked arms with her while walking out of the room.

In the car it was silent and Elena tried to prepare herself for what was to come. She didn't know how she could possibly tell her aunt that Jeremy was…gone. But she might have to act as if she just found Jeremy unless Jenna was already awake but-

Elena was cut off from thought process by the ambulance sitting out front and some police cars.

"Oh no," Elena said under her breath, she rushed out of the car and went into the living room where Jenna was talking to a couple of police officers.

Damon followed behind while he grabbed Elena's stuff from the car. He saw Elena crying again with Jenna and set her stuff by the front door. He wasn't sure if he should walk over or not, so he looked around and saw Jeremy, being lifted by a stretcher.

Damon walked over to the couch and sat by Elena. She took his hand while still turned towards Jenna. People were slowly leaving until it was just the three of them left in the house.

"What are you doing here?" Jenna suddenly asked finally noticing Damon's presence.

"I dropped Elena off and she asked me to be here." Damon said looking at Elena who was wiping her eyes again.

"So did you and Stefan break up after the kiss?" Jenna asked almost angerly.

"Uh, yeah I did and it wasn't because of the kiss, it was because he lies to me and-" Elena was stuck, she wanted to say 'and he's only using me for a replacement as his undead ex girlfriend.' But that wouldn't work out too well.

"And?" Jenna prompted.

"And because he didn't approve of my friendship with Damon." Elena made up a semi lie that was close enough to part of the truth.

"And I wonder why." Jenna muttered, while getting up from the couch and grabbing the keys off the coffee table.

"Where are you going?" Elena asked and got off the couch leaving Damon still sitting there watching the conversation.

"To the hospital they're going to do an autopsy, but they think they already know how he died." Jenna walked out of the room and out the front door.

"What are we going to do?" Elena asked Damon going back to the couch.

"I don't know we should probably go there too. I'll drop you off and come back. I have to go to the blood bank, since Mr. Blood and Go took all my blood bags."

"Sorry," Elena walked out the door with Damon by her side and headed to the hospital.


Stefan walked back and forth in the boarding house trying to figure out where Katherine woud be and where Elena would be if he couldn't find her. "Duh, Elena would be with Damon."

Damon was always ruining the things Stefan had; it always the same woman. But it would be different, he would have both while Damon had neither.

"Hello, Steffi miss me?" Stefan whirled around and found Katherine in front of him with a gleeful smirk on her face.

"Yes of course, what are you doing here?" Stefan asked giddly, yet the confusion prodded the giddiness almost away.

"Well I was here to see Damon and rub that kiss in his face." Katherine laughed and it just about broke Stefan's heart at the mention of Damon.

"What kiss?" Stefan growled.

"Oh fiesty, someones been on human blood." Katherine said in a sing song voice as he circled him.

"Well Poor little Damon thought I was Elena and he thanked me blah blah blah then he kissed my cheek, then right here." She pointed to her lips and pouted.

"But that little kiss wasn't ment for me. Do you want to fix that Steffi?" Katherine asked in a childish tone that was aluring to Stefan and to probably any man.

"Yes Katherine yes I do." Stefan went up to Katherine and kissed her passionately on the lips. Katherine turned them around and pushed Stefan against the wall and bared her fangs.

"I don't think you can fix that Stefan at least not now, you've been using her a replacement for me. And that just doesn't work. You can have me, once she's dead and alone; not even Damon will be there for her, can you do that for me?"

"Yes Katherine, anything." Stefan looked her in the eyes and she took out a stake and got him in the stomach not too far from where Damon had staked him while she turned back to normal.

"Good, just the way I like it. Now get to it, my plans finally going in gear." Katherine said and kissed him hard then disapeared.

Stefan was annoyed yet happy, but in pain with the stake painfuully jabbed in him,"Again! What's with the staking I mean come on!"

Stefan was frazzled and he didn't really fully comprehend what had just happend, besides being being staked again. "Katherine was here, she was really here." he thought astounded.

But, now he has to kill Elena and get Damon to leave her. Now if only that was as easy as it sounded.


The autopsy was done and declared that Jeremy Gilbert overdosed. Damon and Elena were in the waiting room with Matt, sitting there hoping the results for Caroline would come in soon.

Matt kept giving Elena side glances trying to figure out whether she was still with Stefan or not, because by the looks of it Damon and Elena seemed to be getting kind of cozy. He shook his head and focused on Caroline.

Tyler came in the room and sat next to Matt, he turned toward him and awkwardly started, "Look man I'm sorry. I wish that whatever that sound was didn't go off."

"It's okay it's not really you're fault. But, nothing's helping Caroline right now." Matt replied and put his head in his hands.

Elena looked over at Damon who was watching Tyler with a weird look on his face.

"Damon, what's wrong?"

Damon looked down at Elena and said, "Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Uh, yeah." They walked into the hallway and stood by a vending machine.

"You heard Tyler and Matt's conversation right?" Damon asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"When the sound went off it was only ment for vampires and Tyler's not a vampire." Damon remembered Tyler's father being taken into the fire and killed.

"So does that mean he's something else?" Elena felt like she was going to burst with all the things that seemed to be popping out of no where.

"I think so what kind of human can hear that? You this may sound crazy, but i think he could be a werewolf."

"For some reason that doesn't bother me. I think it's because I live in the weird." Elena sighed and looked off to the side.

"I'm sorry." Damon said quietly.

"Why?" She asked putting her hands in her pockets looking at Damon.

"Because you probably wouldn't have to deal with this if we didn't bring you into this world." Elena looked at Damon closely and saw that he was sorry. She didn't want him to think that she regretted being introduced to this world.

"Of course I would still have had to deal with it. My best friends a witch or at least my partial friend is and a guy on the football team is a werewolf and if you guys never told me I would be best friends with a vampire and would've had a psychotic vampire boyfriend."

"I guess, but we should probably head back. We wouldn't want people to think that we're doing something naughty now would we? Well at least you wouldn't." Damon laughed and smirked at her.

"Damon!" Elena smacked him on his arm and he pretended to feel pain.

"Hey abusive much?" He asked while they turned the corner back into the waiting room.

"Like that hurt." She scoffed and sat down in a chair.

"I have feelings you know."

"Oh I never noticed." Elena threw back sarcastically.

Damon knew not to take it offensively, but some where inside of him he knew that she was the reason he could feel. As stupid and mushy as it sounded it was true. He heard someone come down the hall and enter the room. Beside him he felt Elena freeze in place and hold her breath.

"Hey Bonnie." Elena waved shyly at her friend.

"Elena, I'm so sorry if I knew sooner I would have been here faster." The two girls hugged each other tightly and took a moment to forget their differences.

"It's okay I've had company." Elena smiled at Damon and he smiled right back.

Bonnie stood still for a second and looked at Elena with concern and fear.

"Bonnie what did you see?" Elena asked cautiously.

"Stefan's going to try to kill you." She whispered loud enough for Elena to hear and Damon heard it clear as day.

"What!" he growled. Everyone in the room looked at him surprised and slightly scared. Elena pulled them out of the room and into the hallway.

"Damon calm down I think we should talk about this at my house and tell Bonnie about what happend." Damon immediately calmed down and looked to Bonnie who was watching them closely.

"Okay, lets go." He said taking Elena's arm.

"Do you need a ride Bonnie?" Elena turned to her and asked still linked with Damon.

"No I'll see you guys in a couple minutes." Bonnie rushed out the hospital doors with Damon and Elena behind heading to Damon's car.

When they arrived at the house Elena walked to the front door and unlocked it. They all trailed inside and sat on the couch. For a couple of minutes it was awkward; none of them wanted to start this conversation.

Bonnie decided to start and turned to Elena, "Why is Stefan going to try to kill you? I thought he loved you."

Elena took a deep breath and looked to Damon who nodded his head. Without even aknoledging what she was doing Elena grabbed Damon's hand and took it in hers and fiddled with their hands.

"I thought he did too, but somethings aren't what they seem to be. He was just using me as a replacement for Katherine and after being staked and pummbled by Damon he still seemed to think that I was an item to be used and I broke up with him. I don't know why he'd want to kill me; I didn't do anything to him." Elena had a distant look on her face and silent tears made its way through as she stared into space.

Damon forgot Bonnie was there for just a split second and wiped the tears away and squeezed her hand. Elena looked up and scooted a little closer to him and put her head to his shoulder. She suddenly felt really tired and worn out.

Bonnie watched this and honestly didn't know what to say. Vampires disgusted her, but she didn't know why she seemed to be okay with this. Her friend cuddling up to one and being comforted by one. The same one who got her grandmother killed.

"Are you guys together?" Bonnie asked hesitantly.

Damon and Elena's head snapped up and they looked at Bonnie as if she had three heads.

"Uh, no why?" Elena asked while blushing and moved away from Damon and put her head on the armrest. Instinctively she put her legs up and they ended up in Damon's lap. He put them farther up and took off her shoes.

"Just, it um..." Bonnie trailed off uncomfortably. Bonnie could tell they didn't notice what she saw in all these silent gestures even if it was repulsive to her it was cute, if Damon wasn't a cold blooded killer, but cute all the same.

"Bonnie spit it out." Elena pressed her.

"Yeah, cat got your tounge?" Damon asked and laughed while Bonnie glared at him.

Elena kicked him from where her legs were and Damon yelped, "Hey, watch the jewels!"

Elena laughed and looked back at Bonnie who was silently smiling.

Bonnie sighed and looked at the ground. "It just looked like it."

"Weird, anyway we think Tyler's a werewolf, Katherine's back, Jeremy tried to turn into a vampire, and John's dead." Damon said in a rush and the tension began to shift in the air.

"What?" Bonnie exclaimed.

"Well I'm not gonna say it again."

"Damon." Elena warned giving him a look.

"What? That was a mouthful." Damon stretched a little and noticed Bonnie thinking.

"Okay Tyler being a werewolf would make sense, but a bit weird and how did John die?" Bonnie asked raising her head.

"Katherine came and killed him in the kitchen." Elena stated bluntly without blinking.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but that's creepy."

"Very, try cleaning it up even worse." Damon shuddered and earned a kick from Elena.

"Hey, can we talk more later? I should go I haven't seen Caroline yet and I feel bad." Elena nodded and Bonnie left without another side glance.

"Well that was weird." Damon stated as Elena pulled her legs down and switched positions with her head in his lap.

Damon heard someone walk up the porch and then knock on the door, there wasn't a heartbeat.

Elena got up and opened the door, Damon was instantly at her side with a growl as she spat. "Stefan? What the hell are you doing here?"


Well that took forever and I hope Bonnie was okay I didn't want her to completely be a hater. but just enough.

I'm in Washington right now and and going back to California on Saturday, so i won't be able to update till maybe Monday or Tuesday. Sorry!
