Here's chapter 6, i hope you enjoy! And please, review :)

He hurt her again, not physically but emotionally. He promised he would never hurt her and now he's going to do it twice in one night. He would hate himself but all the feelings that were flowing through him made him not care for that split second he lost his humanity and plunged into her neck viciously piercing it with his fangs.

"Stefan" Elena cried out in pain. "Stop it, you're hurting me."

He ignored her as the taste of her sweet blood entered his mouth and slithered down his throat. He could feel her kicking and shoving trying to break free of his grasp but that wasn't happening anytime soon.

"Please stop. This isn't you Stefan!" As she said the last few words her vision and her thoughts were becoming more distant and fuzzy. She was losing too much blood and it was about to cause her to black out. Everything was getting dark and things started to close in. "Something's wrong Stefan, everything's going black. Stop and help me please" She begged. Her last few words were barely a whisper but Stefan heard them perfectly and chose to ignore them. He didn't pay attention but he heard them. Somewhere deep inside him he knew he should stop. He knew that he was killing her but her blood tasted so much better than any human blood he had ever drank before and he had no idea why but he didn't care. He wasn't going to drop until every ounce was drained from her body.

"Stefan" Elena's kicks and punches ended. She was no longer conscious. But Stefan continued to drink anyway trying to digest the last traces of life from her body. He was beginning to be satisfied but his thirst wasn't nearly quenched yet. It would take more than Elena to fulfill this raging thirst that was controlling him. He didn't know how many people it would take, how many kills he would have to perform but he was going to do it and he was starting with Elena Gilbert. He would regret this.

Stefan was pulled from Elena's grasp and slung into the wall.

"Get away from her." Damon roared and he was dead serious because his fangs had also protruded and the veins under his eyes were pulsating like crazy.

"You get away from her. She's supposed to be with me, not you." He used his vampire speed to pin Damon up against the wall. Stefan only recently started drinking human blood again so Damon was still way stronger than him but Stefan was still full of spite and fierce. He plied Stefan's hands from his neck and forced him on the ground, keeping him there with his foot on his throat.

"That wasn't your decision to make, little brother." Demons smirk escaped his lips for a second." I thought she was going to stay with you too. I thought I was going to have to watch you be with the women I love forever. I didn't plan this, nor did she." He paused." Hell, it just happened and I wasn't going to turn her down."

These words made Stefan uneasy and he tried to get up. He tried to break free from his brother's hold but he knew before he even tried to get loose that it wasn't happening.

"I knew you were going to be like this someday." He pointed his free hand's finger at Stefan and chuckled for a second. "For the last century and a half you always got what you wanted. You were always the first choice, the better brother..." Stefan cut him off.

"I am the better brother" he managed to choke out.

"See Stef, that's where you're wrong now. Look over there" he pointed towards Elena who lay unconscious on the floor." If that's the women you think you should be with for the rest of your life, why is she almost dead? Huh? You were always the better choice. You can't stand the fact that for once just once, I'm wanted. I'm the better one. Accept it." His words were no longer soft. "Now, I suggest you leave until you get your problems sorted out. And just remember, the next time you so much as touch Elena I will kill you. I'll drive a steak right through that heart of yours. Now go" Damon moved his foot allowing Stefan to get up. He never said anything but he lunged out the window with vampire speed.

Damon ran over to Elena and cradled her in his arms.

"Elena" He shook her trying to wake her up before he put his head on her chest to check her pulse. She had a pulse but it was distant and weak. The only way she would survive was if Damon gave her his blood which he didn't think twice about doing. He bit his arm and shoved it into her mouth. "Sweetheart, drink this." At first she didn't respond to him but once it filled her mouth she had to swallow and then she drank more. When Damon felt that she had enough he removed his arm from her lips and brought her body upward facing him.

Elena opened her eyes and looked around before looking at him. "Damon. Did I die?" Fright filled voice as the idea of her being a vampire raced throughout her thoughts.

"No, you didn't die Elena. Don't worry. I just had to feed you my blood to get some back in your system. You're too weak, I had to. Stefan nearly drained you dry." She put her fingers up to his mouth.

"Shh, I know. I know. You don't have to explain to me why you helped me" She leaned up to give him a kiss and he happily gave her one back.

"How do you feel now? Do you need some rest?" He stood up with her still in his arms moving towards her bed.

"I'm better. I feel tired and my neck is throbbing. I don't want to go to sleep. I'm afraid he'll come back."

"He isn't going to come back" He reassured her. "I told him I'd kill him if he did" he smirked.

Elena glared at him but didn't scold him for saying he would kill Stefan and it surprised Damon. "Why did he do this? He told me he would never hurt me"

"Well..." Damon sighed. "Stefan isn't exactly good when it comes to dealing with rejection. He always got what he wanted. He was always the favorite, always the first choice. Father adored him because he was Giuseppe's servant you could say. He always chose Stefan over me and so did everybody except my mother. She died right after Stefan was born so I have no idea if she would have liked him better or not but she always called me her angel boy." He smiled sadly. "I guess where you didn't want him anymore he figured nobody could. He's suffering because he never had to deal with it in over a century" Damon thought about it some more "Plus the fact that he's drinking human blood again didn't make you exactly safe to begin with."

"I never thought he'd turn into this kind of person. He was always so gentle." Elena wrapped her arms around Damon and pulled him into a tight embrace.

"We're vampires. He had to snap sooner or later" He chuckled." I know he almost killed you and I'll never forgive him for that but he was going to get like that sooner or later. God only knows how many other people he's hurt... Or killed in the past few days" Elena flinched as Damon said this. He was right. He could've killed dozens of people since then and it would have been my entire fault. As long as he didn't touch Bonnie, Jenna, Alaric, Jeremy or Matt she wasn't too concerned. She didn't want him killing at all but if it wasn't the people she was really close to, it wasn't as bad.

"Do you think he'll go back to the way he was before?" Elena asked.

"Only time will tell. If he can't deal with the fact that you're gone forever, he may go ballistic. But if he can accept it, you may get your bunny loving vampire back as a friend" Damon had to throw in a bit of humor somewhere.

"I just hope he don't hurt anymore people because he's hurting himself too. I've seen how he gets. If he gets through this he's going to feel nothing but guilt" She ignored Damon's attempt at humor. Elena actually started feeling bad for him but she shook the feeling off. She wasn't ready to feed back for Stefan when no more than an hour ago he almost killed her.

"I know"

"Damon?" He could tell by the way Elena said his name she wanted something so he raised an eyebrow at her.

"What, sweetheart?"

"How did you know he was here earlier?"

"You don't remember?" She shook her head. "We were supposed to go out tonight. I was on my way for you. When I got about half a mile away from here I heard you screaming and I heard him... Feeding" The last word he said was filled with disgust. "We're lucky we had plans tonight because otherwise I may not have found you so quickly."

"Oh yeah" The light bulb turned back on inside her head. "I'm sorry about that by the way. I was really looking forward to tonight, I knew you were too."

"Don't be silly. It's fine. There's always tomorrow night" He kissed her forehead softly and then smiled at her warming her whole body. "If you're up to it" He added.

"Okay" She returned the smile that was his favorite smile. "But, can you do me a favor?" She pouted her lips and widened her eyes blinking more than normal. She looked so cute, he never seen her do that before. It caused him to laugh a little.

"What's that?"

She crawled under her bed covers and gestured her hands towards the side of her. "Stay with me for tonight, please?"

"Of course I will. I could never pass up the opportunity of sleeping with you" He winked at her and she rolled her eyes back at him but there was a smile on her face.

He moved up besides her getting underneath the bed sheets. They both turned towards each other and kissed. It was only one but it comforted them both and provided them with the happiness they needed to fall asleep.

"Goodnight Damon" Elena turned away from him.

"Goodnight Sweetheart" He wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her as close to him as possible.

Throughout the night Elena tossed and turned. Damon was a light sleeper so every time she moved he awakened. He didn't pay any attention to it until one time she screamed Damon's name in horror like she was pleading for help. He shook her trying to wake up her.

"Elena" She wasn't responding so he shook her a little more. "Elena, wake up!"

"What? Get away from me" She tried to push Damon away but he didn't let her go until she was completely awake. When she realized it was a dream she let him comfort her.

"It's okay. You're awake now. Did you have a nightmare?"

"Yes" A couple tears started to drip down her face. "It was you. Stefan came back and he was stronger than you. He killed you and then he turned towards me. You woke me up just as he started drinking from me". Her tears flowed more frequently now as she remembered the details of her dream. Damon embraced her tighter.

"That isn't going to happen." He promised her. "You were just scared tonight by what you saw and it got into your dreams. I'll never let him or anyone else hurt you. I promise." He leaned in towards her luscious lips to ensure her that he was telling the truth. When she noticed how passionate he was kissing her she realized that he was being honest.

"I believe you" She whispered.

"Now get some sleep. It's too early to stay awake. I'll make sure you don't have anymore night mares."

"How are you going to do that?" This confused her.

He reached towards her neck undoing her necklace. He placed it on the nightstand. "If you aren't wearing any vervain, I can decide what enters your thoughts when you sleep. I'll make sure they're good dreams instead of bad." She felt a little uneasy not wearing her necklace but she trusted him in what he was saying so she nodded and closed her eyes drifting off into a deep sleep.

He was telling the truth all right. Elena never had any more nightmares that night. She had dreams of her and Damon. She had hot dreams of her and Damon.

She and Damon were in his blue car heading to Georgia. The road trip took half a day but when they got there he surprised her by taking her to a five-start hotel. When they got checked into the hotel they headed to their room which was absolutely breathtaking. It was perfect for a couple spending some alone time for the weekend. The walls were white and the décor was red. There was a massive bed right in the center of the room with four pillars that were chestnut colored with matching silk red blankets. Elena and Damon took the time to observe their temporary room for a few moments. Elena changed into an elegant dress and met Damon downstairs for dinner. The food there was delicious and they spend the whole meal talking about each others childhood. When they finished Damon offered his hand to Elena willing to escort her back upstairs to their suite. She happily accepted and when they got to their room they started kissing. The kiss started getting more intense and Elena could feel it. It felt like the feeling you get when you see fireworks. Passion was moving throughout her whole body as things heated up. She could feel Damon too.

He picked her up by her legs still kissing her but headed towards their bedroom. He laid her on the bed and leaned over her glancing at her face. Her cheeks were flushed and her lips were swollen from his kisses. He smiled at her and she returned it. They continued to kiss for a while until things started heating up. Damon slowly removed Elena's dress and she removed his dress shirt and pants. Then they both removed their last bit of clothing. They started making love and it was the best feeling in the world for both of them. When they had finished the most pleasurable experience of both of their lives, Elena lay on Damon's chest glancing up into his eyes.

"I love you, Elena" Damon looked down at her kissing her softly.

Elena woke up back in her bedroom next to Damon who was smiling at her from ear to ear warming her body like the feelings from her dream.

"I love you, Elena" Damon kissed her softly.
