~ I think there is going to be a month between each update, but I will try to get the next chapter up before this time next month.
~ There is a Delena scene in this chapter, that hopefully you all will like. There also might be one in the next chapter as well.

~ I am attempting three different POV's in this chapter. Hopefully one of them will be better than I thought it turned out.

ENJOY!


General POV

Elena was sleeping in her bed. Her sleep was the only thing she could do that would make her ignore her problems, even if it was just a little while. She was hoping that she could forget the night before when she saw Damon and Rose. There was a noise coming from the hallway, that brought her out of her sleep. She looked around her room, but decided to check the hall.
Elena stepped into the hall, her mind on investigating the noise. When she turned around, she saw Alaric, who quickly moved the bowl that was in his hands, down.
"Elena." He awkwardly said when he saw her.
"I heard something." Elena said before noticing her Aunt Jenna
"That was us." She said with an awkward smile. "I'm sorry."
"We didn't think anyone else was up." Alaric said, telling Elena why they were like that.
"But here you are." Jenna awkwardly said.
"We were just," Alaric sighed and held out the bowl ", Chunky Monkey?" Elena shook her head. "Well I'm naked so I'm gonna go." Alaric walked into Jenna's bedroom, leaving Elena and Jenna in the hall.
"I'm really really sorry." Jenna said to elena.
"It's okay, Jenna. Don't worry about it." Elena gave a small smile. She turned around, but didn't make it to her room.
"I know he's been staying over a lot." Jenna said, which made Elena turn around. "Are you sure it's okay?"
"Seems like things are good." Elena said, hoping that it was one good thing going on in her world.
"They are extremely good." Jenna said with a smile.
"Then I'm extremely okay with that." Elena smiled back before walking into her room.

Elena's POV

I walked back in my room and thought of Jenna. It was good to see a smile on her face, even in the middle of everything that was going on. 'At least someone in this house is happy' I couldn't help but think. The look of Damon's face last night flickered in my head, but I pushed it back. One night he told me that he loved me, but then the next he sleeps with someone else. As I laid into my bed, I let out a sigh. 'I can't let this bother me' I thought. Every time I told myself not to think of him, or what happened, I end up thinking about it more. 'Why is it difficult?' I asked myself before closing my eyes. It took me awhile, but I slowly drifted off back to sleep.


I stood in the kitchen, drinking coffee with vervain in it. I didn't want my mind to focus on what could happen if Damon knew that I never forgot, so I tried to focus on something else. 'Katherine said Klaus killed her entire family just because she ran' I thought. 'What would happen if I didn't run? Could I save everyone that I love? I have to do something.' I thought before the doorbell rang. I set my coffee on the kitchen island before going towards the door. When I opened the door, I noticed Stefan and Damon standing on the other side. 'Just when I forgot' I thought.
"Hey, can we talk?" Stefan asked me quietly. I didn't miss that Damon didn't take his eyes off of me.
"Why?" I asked, hoping that it wasn't anything important so I could figure out a way to save everyone.
"We went to see Katherine." Damon said and I let out a sigh. After a minute I stepped to the side.
"Come on in." I said. Stefan walked in first. When Damon walked in behind him, I didn't look at him, afraid that I might break down or that he might see something in my eyes. After I closed my eyes, I followed them into the kitchen. "What did Katherine say?" I asked as I grabbed my coffee.
"Long story short," Damon began ", she said she'll give us the moonstone if we get her out of the tomb and then she'll disappear from Mystic Falls forever."
"You don't believe her, do you?" I asked after taking a sip of my coffee.
"No, of course not." Damon said. "We just want the moonstone."
"According to Rose's friend Slater, there's a way to destroy the spell that Klaus wants to break." Stefan said to me. 'Rose's friend Slater knows of Klaus?' I asked myself.
"No spell, no doppelganger sacrifice, ergo you live." Damon said to me.
"How do you destroy it?" I asked Stefan.
"By releasing it from the moonstone." He answered me.
"How do you guys even know this is gonna work?"
"Cause we have a crafty witch on our side." Damon said.
"You discussed it with Bonnie." I said out loud in realization.
"She agreed to do anything she could to help us."
"It's Katherine who has the moonstone." I said, glancing at the both of them. "She's not gonna give it to you."
"We're gonna get it from her." Stefan said.
"Well, what he means to say is we will pry it from her cold dead hand if we have to." Damon said to me.
"Bonnie just needs to find a way to release the seal long enough for us to get in, get the moonstone and get out in time for her to return it."
"Seems like you guys have it already planned out." I said after Stefan spoke.
"Yep, we're awesome." Damon said and I let out a sigh.
"Except for one thing." I said, before finishing the cup of coffee. "I don't want you to do it." I stood a little straighter.
"What are you talking about?" Stefan asked me in shock as he glanced at Damon. "Elena, we don't have a choice."
"What about Klaus?" I asked. 'If we upset him, then he could do the same thing he did to Katherine's family'
"We'll find him right after we get the moonstone." Stefan said to me.
"Is that before or after he kills everyone that I care about, including the two of you." I looked from Stefan to Damon and didn't miss the look that Damon gave me.
"Elena, if we can dispel the moonstone, we can save your life."
"I know, everybody keeps saying that." I said to Stefan before turning around and going towards the stairs.

Damon's POV

I couldn't help but stare at Elena as she walked out of the kitchen. There was something about the way she's been acting since I compelled her. 'Did she remember?' I asked myself. 'That couldn't be possible, could it?'
"We better go." Stefan said before walking around the kitchen island.
"I'm going to stay here for a minute." I said to my baby bro. "I'll meet you back at the house." He looked at me for a minute before nodding his head. I waited until he was gone before speeding up to Elena's bedroom door.
"Elena." I said when I saw her sitting on her window seat.
"Damon." She said slightly surprised. "What are you still doing here?"
"Are you okay?" I asked, neither one of us moving from our spots.
"Yeah." She gave me a nod. "I'm fine." I didn't believe her though.
"Elena," I stepped into her room ", I know you're not okay."
"I just haven't been sleeping much okay?" She said to me, with some attitude.
"Okay Elena." I said before turning around.
"Damon." I turned around to face her. "Thanks for looking out for me." I gave her a small smile.
"You're welcome Elena." I turned around and slowly walked out of the house.

Elena's POV

'I almost told Damon that I remember' I thought as I looked at where he stood. It seemed like he knew something was wrong, but it didn't seem like he knew why. I knew he cared for me, he said that he loved me, but why would he have slept with Rose? 'That's just who he is' I thought. Just because he loves me, that wouldn't change who he is. 'He thought he compelled me' It would be the only reason why he slept with Rose a day after telling me about his feelings. I shook my head, trying to get the thoughts out of my head so I could focus. 'I have to protect everyone' I thought before standing up from the window seat. I grabbed my keys from my desk and walked down the stairs.


General POV

Elena had walked up to the boarding house door, determined to save everyone. 'Klaus should leave everyone alone if I go willingly' She thought before slowly entering. When Elena entered, she looked to the hallway, leading to the basement.
"It's not nice to leave a girl naked so early in the morning." She turned her head to the other side and saw Rose in a nightgown. "Sorry, I thought you were…" Rose awkwardly said when
"I… sorry. I…" Elena said, not finding the words.
"There's no one else here." Rose said to Elena.
"Actually I came to talk to you." Elena said, regaining her composure.
"Then I should probably get dressed." Rose turned around with a very faint smile. Elena stood there as Rose walked up the stairs. Elena was sure she wanted to do this. It was going to be her decision to save everyone. She knew it wouldn't be well received with anyone, but she didn't care. If her plan went the way she wanted, everyone she ever loved would be alive.

Elena's POV

Rose and I were sitting on the couch. I just told her about my plan to see Slater and get information from him. What I didn't tell her is about getting in contact with Klaus somehow to sacrifice myself and save everyone else.
"It's a bad idea." Rose said to me after I was done explaining.
"No, it's not." I said. "From what Stefan told me your friend Slater obviously has more information about Klaus. You and Damon just gave up before you got it."
"Because somebody blew up a coffee shop with us in it." Rose said to me.
"There's more to learn. We just have to find a way to learn it."
"Why are you coming to me with this?"
"Because you owe me." I said, sitting up a little straighter. "One word from me and Damon and Stefan could have killed you for kidnapping me."
"Or maybe it's because you know that they wouldn't want you doing this." 'Okay, so that to' I thought. "And their moonstone caper gives you a chance to sneak away."
"We're just having a disagreement, okay?" I said, which is really just an understatement of the situation. "They're willing to risk everyone that I love and I'm not."
"They're just trying to protect you." 'While sacrificing themselves in the process.' I thought. 'I couldn't deal with being alive if they were dead.'
"And you've proven that you couldn't care less whether I'm protected or not so we're back to you taking me to Slater."
"What exactly do you hope to achieve by this?"
"How would you like to be able to walk during the daylight?" I asked Rose, changing the subject from me.
"I've been a slave to shadows for 500 years, what do you think?"
"I think I know a witch who's willing to do whatever it takes to help, if you're willing to make a deal." Rose was silent for minutes. I know that she was debating on rather or not to take me to Slater.
"Okay. You've got yourself a deal." 'Part one done' I thought. All I had to do was get in contact with Klaus before anyone else finds out.


~ I'm not the bed at writing Damon's POV, but I wanted to try. Originally it was going to be at the beginning of the chapter, but I wanted to put it in before I forgot. Usually I just stick first person POV (of OC's) and third person POV
~ I'm not completely sure, but Elena might tell something to Damon that will take him by surprise. Most things that happen in the episode will happen in the next chapter (maybe not written, but implied), but with some extra things that I will write.

~ The next chapter will also be longer than this one. Hopefully if there are a lot of reviews, I might get the next chapter up before the end of the month.
~ I will also be updating 'You Can Never Forget' sometime within the next two days. Maybe today if I'm lucky.

R&R 'till the next update
