I'm sorry If it took me a long time in writing this. I really don't know how to continue since the season finale already cured Damon.
But here goes. I hope you like it. Please review. Thanks! :)
"But Elena, that's Damon you're talking about. Remember, the guy who wanted to turn you into a vampire
and had made your life miserable ever since he moved to this town?"
Elena thought that Bonnie would understand. She was the first one she told about her real feelings. Now, she's regretting it a little bit.
"Bonnie, what should I do? It's how I feel. I can't change it, you know that."
Bonnie shrugged and looked at her best friend. What happened? Is the vervain not working anymore? How can this go completely wrong?
"Elena, I'm just.. you know, surprised. I mean, I thought you hated this guy. You were repulsed by this guy. REPULSED!"
Elena don't know what to do anymore. How can she explain her sudden change of feelings? She, herself,
was shocked in these turn of events. But one thing's for sure, it's Damon she loves.
"Bonnie, I told you this because I'd thought you'd understand. You're supposed to be my best friend.
You know that I don't say thing that I don't mean."
"Yes, I am you're best friend and as one, I should be talking some sense into you."
Just then a gush of wind blew past them and Damon was beside Elena. Elena could sense him and she can't help but feel comfortable,
like she's safe and at home.
"Hey nasty little witch, please cut the sermon and just help me with my issues, I'm running out of time here. Tick tock tick tock."
"Damon.." Elena said eyeing the beautiful monster warningly.
"You see why I can't trust him Elena? He's just bad news. Not only to you, but to all of us."
"Damon, just let me ask Bonnie, kindly okay?"
"And what, I'm supposed to wait until she pity me? In case you haven't noticed, I got a werewolf bite and my life of eternity is out of the picture."
Elena's heart pounded faster as she heard his words. Just thinking about what might happen almost brings her to tears. She could feel the
warmth building up around her eyes. For a second, she thought that she would faint.
"Elena, are you okay?" Bonnie asked, noticing the hurt in her friend's eyes.
This is impossible. She really is in love with this repulsive monster. Her best friend. The one she is willing to give her life to.
But it's real. The look in her eyes is enough to prove how much she cares for him, and not just in a common friendly way. She had seen that before.
That's how Alaric look at Jenna, how Jeremy looked at him. She loves him.
"No, Bonnie, I'm not. Please, I'm begging you. Can you help us? Is there a cure for this? I don't want him to die. Not right now. Not ever."
As Elena said this, she could feel tears spilling from her eyes and running down her cheeks.
"Elena.." Damon held her, one arm around her shoulder, the other, slowly caressing her hair.
"Please don't be like this. It hurts me to see you in pain." Damon said, eyes melting with concern as he gazed at the one person he cares more than himself.
Bonnie was surprised. She had never seen this side of Damon before. Is it really happening? Is it possible that there's enough human
left in this monster to feel such emotion, and worse, towards Elena? She must be insane, yes that's it. But everything seems so real.
"Fine, I'll help you. I'll find something, anything that would help you. I just can't believe that I'm doing this."
"Thank you. I don't know how to express how much I am thankful of what you're doing right now."
To her surprise, it was Damon and not Elena. God, this is absolutely absurd. How can he say things like this? A killer, a murderer.
But somehow, it's there in those sad gray eyes. The pain, the grief, and is it just her or is there fear hidden in those great eyes?
"You're welcome. Just, please, promise me one thing. Never ever hurt my best friend, or let one tear drop from her face because of
you, or else I won't have second thoughts on killing you. You know how strong I am and I can bring you down easily."
Damon stepped towards her and took her hands. Bonnie was surprised that they were shaking. Is it fear or is the bite already having its effect on him?
"I promise that I wouldn't do any of those. It's Elena, I would never hurt her," said Damon, his eyes of pale gray shining brightly.
"Okay, I have to start finding the cure, I'll go get the Grimwoire."
And with that, Bonnie left leaving Damon and Elena to themselves. How could that happen? Since when did Damon have those kinds of emotions?
Sadness, hurt, fear.. and even real love? She can't believe it, but it was evident in the monster's eyes. No matter how much hatred she felt for Damon,
she will do everything. After she saw Elena and Damon, after she realize that what they have between them is a strong connection, stronger than what
Elena had with Stefan, she can't ignore it. It was for the best, for her best friend.
Elena breathed a sigh of relief. She did it, she convinced Bonnie to help Damon. Damon, the love of her life, the one
person who's more important that she, herself.
Strong and warm arms wrapped around her. Damon was suddenly behind her, his lips pressed against her ear.
"I love you Elena, I don't know how to thank you for this."
"Shh. You don't have to. I can't lose you, and you know that."
Damon turned her so that she was now facing him, brown gazing at gray. Damon took her chin, pulling it near his face.
"Well, consider this as the best 'thank you' that I can give."
Slowly, gently, he pressed his lips to hers. Taking in her every warmth. He gently bit her lower lip, which made her moan.
Damon took the opportunity, as her lips parted and let his tongue enter her mouth, exploring and caressing hers. Elena savored every moment,
every movement. He had never kissed her like this before. She responded and parted her lips wider, taking his lips, nibbling harder while
tangling her hands through his hair. Damon, in turn, pulled her closer, his hands wandering to the small of her back. His touch sent shiver down her spine,
a feeling that made her want more. The kiss was perfect, for both of them. It was what they both needed.
The world could freeze at this very moment.
"Damon.. Elena? What the hell is this?"
The two broke apart, breathless and in shock as Stefan stood before them, eyes wide with rage and grief.
