Damon lay on his bed for a while after Elena left. He couldn't stop thinking about how hard Elena had cried, how upset she was that she would never be a mother. He himself had never wanted children, he figured he'd be a shitty dad. But now that he knew that's what Elena wanted, all he could see in his head were children that were a perfect blend of him and Elena...he craved that. He wanted to marry Elena and father her children more than anything in all the world. He got up and reached for his phone, dialing Bonnie's number and praying she'd answer.

"What the hell do you want, Damon? If you're asking me to save Elena, I'm sorry, you already stopped any chances of that by forcing your blood down her throat." Damon sighed.

"Stefan told you? Damn it...just hear me out witch, that's not even what I need."

"I don't care what you need Damon, I'm hanging up."

"Help Elena conceive!" He blurted out loudly, hoping she'd hear him before she hung up.

"Excuse me?" The confusion in her voice was evident.

"Elena wants to have a baby...but pretty soon she'll be a vampire...is there anyway you can fix that? Surely you have something in your little cookbook that can help her." Bonnie was silent for a few moments, as if pondering her words before speaking.

"Listen to me very carefully. We have already upset nature too many times, we can't keep pushing the spirits...pretty soon they will retaliate and you and I both know that wont be pleasant. Besides, I'm not helping you knock my best friend up with your bastard of a child." She spat, hanging up in a huff. Damon gritted his teeth and bashed a lamp against his bedroom wall. He hated Bonnie so much, he'd have ended her pathetic life along time ago if it weren't for Elena.

Damon was getting restless, he'd planned on spending the time of the sacrifice looking for procreation loopholes, but since Bonnie wasn't cooperating he decided he'd pay Katherine a visit, maybe she'd learned useful information during her 500 years of running. Katherine was still under Klaus's compulsion, but Damon had already been invited in.

Katherine sauntered over to him with a coy look in her eyes and a sassy smile on her face. She was obviously mistaking the date for 1864 if she thought for one moment that he'd melt and crumble under that look like he used too.

"Are you finally willing to play with me now that your precious little Elena is playing sacrificial lamb tonight?" She asked, tracing her finger down his chest. He smacked her hand away.

"I'm uninterested in any of your games tonight Katherine. Elena has my blood in her system. She's going to be just fine, I'm here to ask a question." She looked amused, but she also had a look in her eyes that suggested she was hiding something from him. He grabbed her by the throat.

"On second thought I'll save the Q and A for later, what the hell are you hiding from me Katherine?" Pure shock washed over her features.

"How did you..."

"When you spend 145 years loving somebody you tend know them considerably well. Now spill." She sighed as best she could through his death grip.

"He has Jenna...Klaus turned her into a vampire. Looks like Elena now has an eternity to mourn her dear little aunt." Damon slammed her head into the wall and chocked her harder.

"I thought he was using Vampire Barbie for the damn sacrifice! Why the hell does he need Jenna?!" When Katherine didn't answer Damon grabbed a pencil off Klaus's desk and stabbed it into her stomach.

"Tell me." He demanded. Katherine shrieked and looked up at Damon with a guilty expression.

"S-Stefan rescued Caroline and Tyler Lockwood...Klaus made me lure Jenna out, I'm s-sorry." In his rage, Damon threw Katherine against the wall and raced to the sacrifice.

Damon knew he'd reached the site when he heard the racing of Elena's heartbeat and smelled her intoxicating scent. There were three enormous rings of fire, each containing a girl. There was Jules, Jenna, and his Elena. As much as Damon wanted to spend forever with Elena...he knew she and Jeremy needed Jenna more than anything, and he knew what he had to do. He saw Klaus kill Jules, that was his cue to intervene.

"Klaus!" He turned an stared hard into Damon's face.

"I don't recall you being on the guest list. What can I do for you Mr. Salvatore?" He mouthed 'I love you' to Elena and said "I'm hear to take Jenna's place." He smirked.

"Quite the hero...aren't you?" Damon glared daggers at him, his eyes shinning by the light of the fire.

"Just make the trade, Klaus. Let Jenna go." Elena wanted to scream no, but what could she do? Condemn Jenna? She was going to loose either way...either way someone she loved died. Klaus grabbed a stake and before Elena could scream a no, he pushed it threw Damon's back.

"Sorry love, I have other plans for your boyfriend." Then the witch let the fire around Jenna down saying it was her turn.

"Turn it off Jenna...you won't be scared anymore." Elena urged through her tears. With one last cry from Elena, Klaus drove a stake through Jenna's heart. Damon wanted to hold her...to take the pain away. He wanted to promise everything would be okay, but he couldn't.

"Thank you, Elena." Klaus whispered as he sunk his fangs into her neck.

"Elena! Princess, look at me, look at my face." Damon called out. She looked into his deep blue eyes, trying to concentrate on them as she felt the life being drained out of her.

"You don't feel any pain, you aren't hurting anymore." Damon soothed as he compelled her. She gave a gentle smile to him as if to say thank you, and then he heard the thud of her heart cease and saw her eyes fall closed. She was gone. Damon resented the cruel way Klaus let her body drop when he let go of her...It made him sick. Klaus grinned and began laughing hysterically.

"I can feel it! It's happening!" However, as he started to shift he caught a glimpse of someone he was sure he had killed. Bonnie and Caroline had showed up, and Bonnie was not going easy on Klaus, using her witchy powers to fling him across the ground.

"Get her out of here, I'll stay and make sure the deed is carried out." He said to Caroline as she removed the stake from his back. She nodded and picked Elena up, fleeing with her as fast as possible.

"Y-you were dead!" Klaus whimpered as Bonnie set fire to his legs. He screamed loud enough to shatter glass as she used her powers to twist his insides and cause every vein in his skull to burst. Bonnie tortured him to the brink of her own death and then took a step back, allowing a familiar face to take over.

"Elijah..." He whispered, shooting a betrayed look at his brother.

"Hello, Brother." He sighed, exchanging glances with Bonnie and Damon. They nodded at him and he dug his hand deep into Klaus's chest, eliciting a loud scream that bellowed ferociously from his lungs.

"In the name of our family...Niklaus." Klaus shook his head with panic.

"I didn't bury them at sea! Their bodies are safe!" Elijah hesitated and within that moment Damon and Bonnie knew it was over.

"If you kill me you'll never find them." Damon hated feeling helpless.

"Elijah, don't listen to him! He has lied to your fave a million times before, what makes you think now is any different?" He reasoned, trying to remind Elijah just how two-faced his brother was. Klaus looked up at his older brother with pleading eyes.

"Elijah, I can take you to them. I give you my word, brother." Not able to take the fact that he was seriously considering this, Bonnie blurted out "Do it and I'll take you both out." Elijah gave her an incredulous look.

"You'll die..."

"I don't care!" She spat back. Despite the evident threat that Bonnie and Damon were to them at that moment, Elijah murmured an "I'm sorry" and fled instantaneously with Klaus.

"Damn it!" Damon screamed. Bonnie shot a half sympathetic look at him.

"Hey, calm down . We did everything we could."

"Well that's not good enough, Bonnie! My Elena died for nothing, became a vampire for nothing! And now she has lost her only guardian thanks to my jack ass of a brother!" Bonnie attempted to console him but he wasn't having it.

"I don't want pity from a stupid witch that calls her best friends future children bastards." He mumbled coldly and ran back to the boarding house as fast as he possibly could.

Caroline has Elena on the couch. He caressed the side of her face gently, a worried expression plastered on his face.

"Come back to me...Elena. You promised." He said gently, holding back his tears as best he could. He bent down and brushed his lips against hers briefly. The moment he pulled back Elena shot up, taking in a sharp and painfully unnecessary breath.
