The next day Elena woke up and got dressed with a pair of jeans black boots and a lilac long sleeve. She did the typical threaten Jeremy to get up quickly eat breakfast and then go to school in school she tried her best to focus on class and her friends but she lately had the feeling that someone was watching her

maybe I am just being weird and paranoid she thought as she stared at the window and then at the clock in the wall waiting for the bell of the last period to set her free.

Finally the bell rang and she walked to leave some books in her locker.

"Elena!" Caroline said as she approached her friend

"hey"

"Hey! So… its Friday! Have any plans?"

Elena looked at her as she closed her locker "I don't have any plans but I don't really feel like going out today Care"

Elena said as she started walking with Caroline to the parking lot

"Oh com on! Let do something fun! Please!?"

Caroline said as she put her hands together pleading Elena, Elena sighted

"What do you want to do?" Caroline jumped in excitement as her blonde curls bounced

"it depends" Elena said before her friend got to exited

Caroline looked at her and said "look Tyler is having a party tonight at his house! We have to go!"

Elena was not really feeling it but didn't want to go through Caroline trying to convince her and all that stuff so she agreed

"fine"

Caroline clapped her hands and smiled

"yeeiii! So I'll see you tonight then!"

Elena nodded as she said goodbye to Caroline and started walking home. Elena was not in the mood for a party she wanted to go home and watch Some movies, something simple like that but know she had to go to this party.

Elena decided to take the way home trough the woods as she took her time looking around and humming then she felt it again, a gush of wind behind her she turned around but nothing, Elena turned around and started walking a little faster then another gush of wind, Elena didn't bother to turn around she started running as she felt gushed of wind following her and tormenting her when she tripped and fell Elena saw the shoes of a men in front of her but was too scared to look up, she gathered all the strength she had to stand up not looking at the men in front of her,

"Hello miss Gilbert"

What the hell?

Elena looked at him, he looked strangely familiar, the men was smirking at her and then it all came back to her, he was the men that was fighting with Damon the other day

Oh shit

Elena took a step back trying not to let her fear take over

"Who are you?"

" oh I am sorry my name it's Fredrick" the men said

Elena didn't say anything she just glared at him

" I need to go"

With that Elena tried walk pas him but he held her arm tightly that made her panic

" let go of me"

And with that Elena punched his hand and yanked her arm back as she started to run for her life

The vampire was a little startle he didn't expect her to fight back, with a smirk he started to run after her

Elena was tripping and hurting herself with some branches on the way as she kept on running

Fredrick could easily catch her but he wanted to make it more interesting, to frighten her and torture her

Fredrick pushed her making her fall but in an instant she stood up and kept on running

Elena knew she couldn't do this any longer she was too tired as she tried to hide behind a tree hoping he wouldn't catch her

She was wrong and she knew it, he was un human and she couldn't explain how

in a second he was in front of her with his hand around her neck choking her against the tree as she had both of her hands trying to loosen the men's grip but it was use less

Elena saw him laugh, slowly she had no strength anymore, she couldn't fight back as her hands dropped to her sides and she slowly started to drift away, this was it she was sure it was her end when all of a sudden she the men's hand was gone from her neck as she slowly fell to the floor trying not to fall unconscious she looked around to see what happened as she saw another men with a black leather jacket raven black hair and pale skin she knew who it was,

Damon had gotten there just in time as he was walking around the woods to hopefully find the tomb vampires, and he was right. He saw the vampire choking the life out of Elena and in less than a second he through the men to another tree as the men. Chuckled

" be careful Damon I am not done with your little friend"

And with that he was gone

Damon hit a tree in frustration and then turned around to se Elena standing up as she looked at him with wide eyes

" Damon?"

That was all Elena was able to say in more like a whisper as tears were threatening to fall

Damon was speechless his body wasn't moving as they stared into each other

Damon was the first to move as he slowly started to approach her slowly as she stopped liking at him and instead started looking to the ground

Damon was right in front of her but she wouldn't look at him

Sight*

Damon slowly lifted up her chin as Elena hesitantly looked at him as she got lost in his azure endless eyes

"Are you ok?"

" I don't know"

Elena responded in a small voice as she took strength to talk

" what is going on? What is he? What are you? What does he want from me? Why does he want to kill me?" Elena said really fast

" Elena calm down let me take you home first"

" I can't calm down until I get answers!"

" you will but first calm down, we will talk when it's time"

" no! You said that last time!"

Elena was breathing hard as she started to loose her vision and the last thing she saw was Damon shouting her name as everything went black

Great

Damon thought as he held her unconscious in his arms as he stroked her hair

I can't take her to her house how am I going to explain this to her aunt?

Damon took her phone and texted her aunt that she was going to sleep over to a friends house as he turned it off he carried her using his vampire speed to his house, Stefan wasn't at home because he was at q party for his luck

He slowly placed her in his bed as he covered her body with a blanket

Damon was frustrated and didn't know what to do, she was just getting to involved with him and it bothered him, he was Damon Salvatore he didn't let anyone in, he didn't care for anyone, he was cold and people feared him

But this 17 year old girl was messing with his head he save her twice, he was not supposed to care

Damon was drinking as he stared at her sleeping body

What is wrong with me?

Frustrated Damon layer down next to her staring at the ceiling, he didn't know what to think so he closed his eyes and after a few minutes he fell asleep

Elena slowly opened her eyes as she looked around her

This is not my room where the hell am I?

She looked at the elegant furniture the huge window, the elegant lamps she turned her gaze ti the bed and saw Damon's sleeping face next to her

Elena saw how peaceful he looked as the bangs of his raven hair fell slightly fell on his forehead.

Then everything came back to her, the forest, the men choking her, Damon saving her.

Elena didn't want to wake him he looked so calm so...perfect...

Elena needed answers so she lightly tapped his shoulder

" Hey Damon... Wake up"

Damon didn't move one inch

Elena place her hand on his cheek as she stroked it lightly with her thumb

" wake up"

Damon felt the soft hand on his cheek and slowly opened his eyes to find Elena's face really close to his as her stared into her big doe eyes

" hey"

" hey...how long ago did you wake up?"

Elena realize that her hand was still stroking his cheek as she took it back rapidly blushing a little as Damon looked a little startle

" I- not long ago"

" I see... Are you ok?"

" yes I am fine just a little shocked I guess"

Damon nodded as he stood up and Elena followed him

" wait! Damon! You! You said that you were going to explain everything to me!"

Elena said as she grabbed his arm as he looked back at her

" look Elena you have to forget about what you saw what happened I will take care of the men that tried to harm you ok?"

" no Damon what are you hiding from me? He was after me!? It involve me!"

" no it doesn't! This is my problem not yours! Just let it go ok!?"

Both were screaming at each other

" what? No! He was after me! It does involve me! It makes it my problem too!"

Damon was so angry at her stubbornness he couldn't tell her about vampires because it would involve her in his life too much it was dangerous

" Elena listen to me just let it go I'll take care of it ok? Just don't go around the forest alone! Be more careful little girls are not suppose to go around alone and late ok!?"

" I am not a little girl Damon! I can handle myself!"

" oh really? You we're handling it pretty good when he was choking the life out of you!"

" just tell me what this Is about Damon!"

Damon couldn't hold in his anger anymore as his eyes turned red and veins under them

Elena was shocked as she saw him

" I said let it go!"

Damon growled as he vamp speed in front of her

Elena was tired of being the scared little girl she was not going to run from this she slowly brushed her finger tips underneath his eyes as the veins started to disappear and the red blood eyes turned back to the beautiful azure eyes

Damon was startle why didn't she run? Why didn't she panic? Why didn't she scream? Or try to beg for mercy? He was not expecting that reaction from her

" why aren't you scared of me?"

" I don't know, what are you Damon?"

Damon knew that he couldn't scape from this he had to tell her or she was not going to leave him until she learned the truth

" I am a vampire"

Elena was trying to proses what he just told her

Vampire? Vampires don't exist that's not real! Vampires are just from old tales-... Like the ones her mother told her... Was it possible? The supernatural speed and strength, his red eyes it all Clicked

" I am not scared if you Damon, I don't care what you are"

This girl was surprising Damon more and more

" why?"

Was all Damon managed to say as they got lost into each other eyes as their faces were only centimeters apart

" I just don't"

Damon didn't know what the hell was happening to him so he just hugged her before something else happened

Elena tested her head in his chest as she hugged him back

She was confused she didn't know what to do what to think or say all her head was filled with one thing
