Tears rolled down my cheeks fast, pain seemed to be running through my veins. I knew I couldn't just sit here and weep, but I felt paralysed. Mentally I told myself to get a grip and actually help. 'What are we going to do Stefan', the words came out desperate and fast. Stefan turned to look at me. I was still kneeling beside the body like a helpless animal and looking like a deranged person. Stefan had been talking to Bonnie. 'How are we going to help Damon?' This time I got up and hugged Stefan. If I was asked few hours ago about Damon Salvatore all that would be circling my mind would be negativity.
Stefan spoke softly in my ear; I could hear the pain in his voice too. 'Bonnie is working on a quick spell to reduce the pain'. I looked over at the body, it was shaking and its eyelids were half closed. Bonnie knelt beside it holding its hand and whispering some words under her breath. I looked back at Stefan. Few more words tumbled out, 'will he be ok?'
We were no more in the coldness of the night; we were in the safety and warmth of the Salvatore's house. Damon's body had eased and he was sleeping, but his body kept having sudden jolts causing his face to scrunch up in agony. Bonnie and Stefan were trying to figure what was happening. All I could do was sit next to Damon and let the two brains work it all out. I felt useless in such a needy time.
'Elena'. The words barely left Damon's lips. I quickly held his hand and sat near him, I wished I could do something just to make his pain go away. 'Elena, am I dying?' there was so much hurt and fear in the words, and there was no sarcasm like the normal Damon. I held his hands up and planted kiss on them. 'Your fine, everything will be ok', there was doubt in my words and he seemed to understand. 'Elena, use your common sense, I'm a vampire, and I'm meant to heal fast'. The truth seemed to sink in but I didn't want to believe it. That's when Bonnie and Stefan walked in; there was nothing on their faces that shouted good news.
'I'm sorry', Bonnie muttered the words making them hard to grasp.
'What do you mean? 'I'm sorry'!' everything inside me exploded.
'Elena, calm down, I'll tell you'.
'Stefan, speak', Damon's voice seemed to crack as he said the two words as if knowing what was to happen.
'Damon's dying'.
I had exited the Salvatore house in the few minutes the news had been told. Bonnie had tried to stop me but Stefan had told her to give me some time on my own. I was driving the car at a fast speed not paying much attention to my surrounding. I got home in one piece and ran up the stairs and ran into my bedroom. But before I could move any further, I saw that the window had been smashed. There on the ground a rock with paper wrapped around was sitting in the middle of broken glass. I scrambled to the rock and pulled out the paper. My eyes widened as I read it.
Darling Elena,
I am extremely sorry about the smashed window, may cost you a few quid but you will manage. To the more important, sorry about your dear friend Damon, had to inject him with VAMPIRE poison, only way to get your attention. I'll give you a choice, you surrender to me I'll give your friend the antidote and he lives. If not, he dies and one by one you lose everyone. If you accept, sign at the bottom and throw it out of the window with the rock, I'll be waiting. Sorry again about the window.
With love from (guess)
P.S. You're 'The One'
A chill ran up my spine, the one thought that came to mind was,
What the hell should I do?
