Stefan jumped up onto the roof of Elena's house and went to her window, yes, he rejoiced quietly to himself, it was open. He peaked inside, and sure enough she was there, in bed, asleep, with a bandage on her neck.
A sudden horror hit Stefan as he realised what Damon had done to her; he had bitten her, and just the night before, while they were making love, he had let her drink from him. So she had ingested vampire blood, and had been bitten and almost drained by a vampire and left to die, that only meant one thing and Stefan didn't want that for Elena.
Elena stirred and Stefan froze just inside the window, then she opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Stefan" she said weakly, she still looked pale. Stefan walked over and sat beside her in her bed, she moved over slightly for him.
"I'm here now" he told her, "can you remember what happened?"
"Not really, Damon took my necklace, the one filled with Vervain that you gave me, so he must have used his powers on me" Elena told him, Stefan tensed
'I'm going to kill him" he said through clenched teeth
"No, don't kill him"
"Why? Are you protecting him?"
"No, I just don't want you to be a murderer"
Stefan unclenched his fists and laid down next to her.
Elena snuggled up to him and for a moment she made him forget what Damon had done to her, but only for a millisecond.
"Do you know what's going to happen to you now?"
"No…Stefan you're scaring me, why are you looking at me like that?"
"I wish there was an easier explanation, because I don't want this for you"
"Don't want what for me, Stefan?"
He sighed and told her, he couldn't keep anything from her any longer.
"You are going to become a vampire, Elena, I'm so sorry, I am seriously going to kill Damon for this"
Then Elena reacted in a way that was unexpected to Stefan.
"This is not a curse Stefan" she told him, taking his hand in hers and stroking the side of his face with her other hand, "you should be happy"
"Why should I be happy when in a few days you are going to become a blood- sucking monster?"
"And you're afraid you're not going to love me anymore?"
Stefan turned his face and looked away.
"Then what are you unhappy about?"
"The fact that your life is going to end, you're going to miss out on so much now because you have to worry about not trying to kill all of your peers"
Then Elena made another unexpected gesture; she kissed him.
"My life isn't going to end Stefan; a new one is going to begin, with you"
Stefan was speechless, but Elena kept talking.
"I trust you to help me be the best vampire I can be, and I know I will be the best, with you as my teacher"
Stefan was about to speak when Elena's finger on his lips stopped him.
"We should get married"
