Author's Note: I own nothing. If I did, Delena would have been the couple from the beginning. Let me know what you think! Love to all!

Love,

When we left off:

"Elena, we need to leave. NOW." He whispered.

~:~:~:~:~:~:

"Damon, what the hell is going on?" I asked as he pulled me out of the room.

"Seems that even though Katherine took the Cure, she has friends and they are all looking for us. I hope you were serious about travelling the world because it looks like we are on the lamb Sweetheart." he said.

"I thought you said she wouldn't be a factor anymore!" I hollared.

I couldn't believe it. Just ten minutes ago everything was great and we were going to move past all of this Katherine bull shit.

"Elena, I need for you to listen to me. We are doing this, whether or not you agree with why, we are going. Katherine is much older than me. That means that she has accumulated so many allies, as well as enemies. She is after you, and I'll be damned if one of her henchmen gets ahold of you because you are being stubborn. Now, where do you want to go first?"

"Thank you." I said meekly.

"I love you. You'll learn to accept that while we are on our trip. So Canada and Mexico are out of the question because they are too close, and I'd like to have a destination already picked out when we get to the airport, so what do you say? Where do you want to go?" he asked grabbing my hand over the center consol.

"Ireland."

"You would go for a giant rock where it rains all the time." he said jokingly.

"Damon, can you promise me something?"

"What's that Dear?"

"Tell me that we are really just going to do this for us. Tell me that when we get to the airport, we are going to get our tickets and never look back." I begged.

"Elena, I promise I am doing this because I love you. We are going to get a layover in Britain so we can get clothes and stock up. Then we are going to go to Ireland and enjoy the rain." he said sarcastically.

The rest of the drive was completely quiet as we made our way to O'Hare. Part of me was still reluctant, but part of me was excited. I was going on the run with Damon. I loved him. We were going to travel the world together, just the two of us. Sure I was dreading the hitmen that seemed to be after me, but I knew that with Damon by my side, I would be able to do anything.

~:~:~:~:~:~:

The flight to Britain was shorter than I thought. Sure, I slept most of the time, but atleast I didnt get hungry. I was able to get the window seat, so I was able to look at the clouds. Damon stayed alert the entire time. He mostly alternated between holding my hand and trying to get me to snuggle with him. Unfortunately the arm rest was proving to be detrimental to that plan. I'm not sure how long I was out before he was waking me up to get off of the plane.

We made our way through the throng of people. Mostly people were in a rush, so they were pushing and shoving. We patiently waited our turn and then walked through the mass of humans.

"Elena, stay close to me. I'm sure no one would be here this fast, but I can't lose you. Hold my hand." Damon said seriously.

I grabbed his hand, opting not to lose him.

"Excuse me, Damon?" someone asked from behind us.

I felt Damon stiffen beside me, and my instinct kicked in to do the same.

"Yes, may I help you?"

"I was sent by your brother to pick you up and escort you to your hotel. I am to be your cheauffer through the duration of your stay in London." the man said.

"Of course. Just give me a moment with my fiance to explain whats going on." Damon said, oozing charm.

I followed willingly, sensing Damon was still distressed.

"Damon, what's wrong?"

"No one knew we were coming here. Not even Stefan. We planned it in the car for God's sake! Kath-. The bitch must have bugged my car. Here's what's going to happen. You go towards the bathroom, I'll stall. Stay there until I come get you." he said kissing me and walking away.

I did what I was told and walked to the restroom. Stopping just outside the door, I stood and waited. Time ticked by slowly and I was starting to worry. I looked at my phone and realized 10 minutes had passed. Getting ready to go face whatever was waiting for me, I slowly stared moving away from the door.

"Elena! I want you to turn around and walk away." Damon whispered from behind me.
