A/N: Sorry this took so long, I'll try and do better next time. Thanks for the motivation Abbey and without further babbling here we go:
That was the exact moment when he saw them. It's one of Elena's friends, he thought to himself, and it doesn't look like they're going to live for much longer unless he did something. And fast.
It was the one that he could never remember the name of.
What is it . . . Mutt? He thought to himself. Whatever this is no time to be wondering about the boys name when he is so clearly on the verge of death.
Damon didn't know how long Matt had been there, what had happened, or who had done this, but all he did know is tat the amount of blood on the ground beside the boy clearly wasn't a healthy amount.
He tried not to breathe in the smell that was taunting him to drain the boy dry and quickly and began licking the wounds in order to heal them.
After a short amount of time he realized that this was going to be nowhere near enough help, so he bit his wrist right above the vein and brought his wound up to Mutt's mouth and willed him to drink.
A few minutes later Damon took his arm away. Mutt was not doing so well, but he knew that anymore blood would not help anything, it would only hinder Damon by weakening him.
He quickly loaded the boy into his passenger seat cursing at the blood stains already forming on his car then began to speed as fast as his car would take him back towards the boarding house.
"It's okay, you're going to be fine," Damon said in a panicked voice to his unconscious passenger, more trying to comfort himself than anything. "Mrs. Flowers will heal you up and you'll be good as new."
When he got to the boarding house he quickly got out of the car and ran to the passenger door. When he took the boy out of the vehicle he found that the body in his arms was limp.
Damon let one tear fall down his face before he shut down his emotions.
Dammit I'm Damon Salvatore, I don't cry over humans! Especially this pesky Mutt! I didn't even like him, so what if Elena did? She can't blame me because I did my best to save him! Damon tried to reassure himself.
"Look if you want Elena to wake up then you're going to have to follow my every command," Katherine instructed after Damon had left the boarding house.
"I don't like the sound of that," Stefan said gruffly.
"Oh calm down Stefan. I'm not going to make you do anything too bad . . . yet," Katherine giggled rolling her eyes. "But if we're going to stay here we're going to have to fix my hair up, I think we should dye it black and cut it, then I'll just curl it before I leave whenever I can so that less people will realize that Stefan Salvatore is walking around with a dead girl."
"I don't know if Elena would want that-" Stefan began to argue.
"Well you can't find out if she doesn't wake up and she won't wake up unless you listen so its not really Elena's call, now is it?" Katherine interrupted him.
"I guess not," Stefan said sighing, knowing that this would come back to bite him in the ass.
"I can't be seen in public, so you should go buy a hair curler and some black hair dye, I'll cut my hair while you're out," Katherine told Stefan.
"Fine, but don't cut it too short, and don't do anything that you'll find to be an amusing hair style for Elena," Stefan said threateningly.
"You're forgetting that I have to live with this hair style too," Katherine said sarcastically. "It'll be fine, just hurry up!"
When Damon got to the bedroom of the boarding house he was shocked to see Stefan sitting on the bed with a box of hair dye and a curling iron.
For a second he forgot about the body laying in his arms and took the time to have a laugh at his brother's expense.
"Getting in touch with your inner woman?" Damon scoffed.
"No," Said a woman's voice coming from the bathroom. "He's helping me change my hair so I won't be recognized."
With that a girl with shoulder length blonde hair stepped out of the bathroom and Damon wondered how she could have become any more beautiful, but she had. Then he remembered who was controlling her body.
"Its rude to stare, you know," Katherine said in a tone that sounded an awful lot like she was bragging about the attention.
That was when she noticed the body in Damon's arm and the blood all over both of the men's clothing. As the information sunk in, something happened, Katherine lost control.
Elena fought yelling mentally, just on the verge of control, the verge of remembering who this boy was and why she cared about him so much.
She struggled until BAM, she was Elena Gilbert, queen bee, the one every girl wanted to be and every guy wanted to be with, and she was yelling.
"Matt! Oh my god, what happened? Damon did you do this? Because I swear to god!" Elena screamed in a burst of memory concern, and shock at once again being a normal(ish) human.
Damon gently moved the angry girl who had stormed over to him in her fury slightly backwards then walked over to the bed and oh so gently out Matt's limp body down.
"Is he- is he dead?" Elena whispered softly.
"Yes and no," Damon responded. "But I didn't do it I swear on my life!"
Elena looked like she was about to faint, so Damon and Stefan both at the exact same time ran over to support her.
"I'm fine . . . really," Elena said just before she slipped out of consciousness.
A/N: Please read and review, I love you all! Sorry it took so long again, but I didn't know where it was going and I was being just a little bit lazy. Hopefully the next chapter will be up soon!
