"you ready?" Elena said, brisking by, getting into the car before Damon broke from his trance, grumbling again he headed towards his car and revived the engine, peeling out of the driveway.
"what's the deal this time, how do we know this is the place?" Damon said, focusing his eyes to the front.
"look Damon, I know we'll find him, he's your brother, have some faith in him!"
"Elena.." Damon started, she huffed and turned to look out of the window.
"I'd never give up on him" he muttered, Elena had no idea that she had just struck a nerve.
"anyways, he's getting back to us, I've missed him so much! As if him going for an entire summer isn't bad enough, Klaus dragged him along, who knows what he's making him do! You remember how Stefan is around human blood" Elena continued.
"Elena, can you just please, shut up" Damon said gritting his teeth, not in the mood for getting scolded or a place to vent out all your anger. He wasn't a damn punching bag.
Ellie would never do that, use him as a punching bag..
.
"oh come out come out where ever you are" Ellie said, with a smile on her face. The duo where out in the woods near again.
"you know, your eyes are quite like wolf eyes.." Damon's voice echoed
"at least they aren't as common as ice blue" Ellie huffed, now looking up at branches "I know you're up their Damon" Ellie said, tapping a tree's trunk.
"you spoil fun" he said jumping of the not too high branch.
"don't do that" she said, smacking his head.
"I'm not your punching bag Ellie, when would you get that?"
"when you get your no monkey man" she winked.
"yeah yeah, useless words you know"
they settled onto a nice grassy patch, with Damon's back against a tree with Ellie's head on his chest, he kept running his hand threw her hair.
"tell me how it's like" she broke the comfortable silence.
"how what is like?" he murmured.
"having a younger brother?" she said, looking up at him.
he looked down at her with a weird vibe in his eyes.
"its..like having someone to constantly look out for. I really don't know how to explain it.
Having someone to be responsible for, a constant worry? But still Stefan is the reason why I pulled threw everything Giuseppe threw at me." Damon went silent for a moment.
"I'd like that. I'm just so alone most of the times, mother would never ever dream of having another kid, she didn't even contribute in nothing, Grandma and a bunch of nannies took care of me, and look how I turned out."
"you turned out as an angel" Damon whispered kissing her temple.
"Who loathes Corsets and Dresses" Ellie rolled her eyes.
amon stayed silent for a moment, then said,
"my mother and I where close, she was far the best person out there for me, well besides you, after she died, I just don't know. She used to sing us a lullaby each night. I mean look at me, my own father basically kicked me out for war"
"you turned out just perfect. I know how it's like, losing the person who was practically your everything. But hey, look how brave and handsome you turned out, I'm sure she's very proud of you. Now tell me about that little brother of yours, what's his name, oh yea Stefan"
Damon chuckled as he launched into tales of Stefan and him with Ellie watching him closely.
.
"Damon!" Elena snapped. "are you even listening to me!"
Damon shook his head, in desperate attempt to forget her.
After all these years, he still remembered her Angelic features, her musical voice, her sparkling amber eyes her light hands as she treated fallen soldiers.
She was really an Angel. Damon for once in his life had someone who had his back. quite literary
He gripped the steering wheels tightly in desperate attempt to focus .
They were in the woods, again, taking a little walk in the wee hours of the morning. The cold breeze hit Ellie's face, refreshing her up.
The sun was yet to rise above the horizon when the tree's shed aside, creating a small field.
And in the middle of that rose a giant oak tree, with its high branches covered in leaves.
Alone on top of a little hill, with multi colored flowers laying around the base of the great oak. It was just such a magnificent view.
"catch me" Ellie said, shrugging off his arm from her waist, and breaking into sprint.
Damon smiled as he let her have a head start, the going to catch her.
Ellie's musical laughs filled the air as she desperately ran from Damon around the tree. Finally, he caught her as they both fell on the grassy grounds. both in laughs.
Damon recovered first, "Marry me"
Ellie was caught off guard, something that rarely happens as she fell silent. As soon as Damon uttered the words. A mask covered Ellie's face, the same one she had when fixing one of those soldiers up. The look that meant concentration.
"is that a 'in the heat in the moment' question?" Ellie said, after a while carefully picking her words.
"No I mean, yes. But that doesn't mean I don't wanna marry you Ellie" he said, getting up and kneeling in front of her.
She could have said don't do this, but the words died before she could say anything.
"Emilia Amber Williams, would you marry me? I will never meet such an amazing woman if I lived for a thousand years, Ellie. I love you." the breeze picked up, as the flowers danced around them.
"I love you" Ellie said, getting him to stand up. "but now isn't the time Damon for marriage. But it's a yes from me" she added, getting onto her tip-toes pressing her lips to Damon's.
they then spent the rest of the early hours. The duo settled on a branch.
" we could live in Mystic falls, or your town near Richmond"
"na, the further from my parents the better"
"Stefan would be there, you could be his older sister of sorts. You would cook amazingly like you do here"
"or better, these guys seem in loss of food."
"we could live in the boarding house"
"and be a constant pain to older Salvatore, count me in"
"you're in whether you like it or not" he kissed her shoulder
"hmm" she said, the sun began raising above the tree's as its golden rays covered everything.
"I love you" Ellie muttered, as the sun made its self present throwing golden rays at them.
