" Caroline?" Elena whispered weakly trying to make out a figure through her tired hazy eyes.
" Elena, shh you should sleep." Caroline replied pulling covers up over Elena.
" I'm tired of sleeping i want to be awake. Please compel me to wake up." Her words were a desperate plea for help as tears filled them.
"Elena, don't cry." Caroline started to continue when elena's blubbers cutting in.
"I don't want to dream anymore.." she mumbled drifting off yet, again.
Caroline swooped out her phone and began dialing furiously trying to reach Damon.
"What!" Damon growled answering furiously.
"Elena doesn't want to sleep anymore something about her dreams. She's fighting your order.
" Wake her up now break the order I'm on the way. She is reliving what happened in her sleep again." His voice held a ashamed tone to it. How could he overlook that? He had been there in that dream and he sent her back without extending the blackness.
" Elena Wake Up!" Caroline ordered her after shaking her eyes awake.
Tears were rolling down both of their faces. Caroline pulled Elena into a hug trying to be careful with her fragile friend. "What did they do to you.
"Elena?" Damon's voice carried through the halls almost in panic.
"We are in here." Caroline blubbered holding her shell shocked friend.
" Elena." His voice softened at the site of the two girls crying and Elena limp in Caroline's arms. He walked to the other side of the bed sliding over to elena pulling her to him. Caroline allowed it pulling her body off the bed.
"Can you give us a minute." Damon asked softly, she only nodded leaving the room.
"You compelled me to sleep. Don't ever do that again." Elena's voice was blank and distant but serious.
"OK." he said holding her to him and leaning back as they laid their silently.
((Caroline and Claus))
"Caroline?" Claus asked through the other room though he knew it was her.
"Yess." She said still blubbering.
"Whats wrong?" Claus asked placing his hand over the side of her face.
"Elena. Damon asked me to watch her he'd compelled her to rest while she was at the store and she started reliving what happened in her dream. She begged me to wake her up through her hazy eyes." A water fall of tears were pouring down her ivory face. "I don't know how to help her."
"There There Caroline this isn't something anyone can just wipe away. It takes time and patience. She has Damon and Stephan so it will all work out." Claus whispered kissing her forehead.
"No," Caroline whimpered "She has Damon. Stephan left. Something about a dream. I don't know..but it is the last thing she needs right now."
"Damon where is Stephan." Elena asked adjusting her face to on Damon's chest snuggling closer in. He let out a deep sigh. What were the words? How could he tell her.
"He left." Damon said placing his strong steady arms around her body.
"He just left?" Elena said stunned and angry. " In the middle of all this he just took off for what a holiday vacation?" She hissed shooting up out of his arms, "Why?"
"Because he had to." Damon replied cooly he was a master at lying more so about his brothers affairs.
"He had to?" Elena growled, "Don't lie to me Damon what happened I want to know."
" NO you don't you want to relax." He said sitting up facing her ghostly face with his own.
"Yes, I do. Is it a another woman? Vampire?" She asked placing her hand on her forehead.
"No. It isn't. Let it go Elena." he hissed watching the energy drain from her eyes slowly.
"Ill find out." she said collapsing to the bed with exhaustion. He only smiled straightened her out and began stroking through her hair. Waiting for her to fall into a resting state so he could ensure her dreams be a good one.
