Her body was aching, everything hurt. Slowly she remembered what had happened, but it still didn't make any sense. While trying to remember, she heard the same voice, almost like she was talking to herself.

"Wakey, wakey, Elenaa."

Her eyes flew open and she noticed she was laying on the floor and her hand was slightly shaking, bringing her gaze upwards she saw her 'twin' looking down at her.

"There we go, have a nice nap? I was going to tie you down, but, I don't think you'll be seeing daylight much longer, oh and the names Katherine." Katherine's smile was something of pure evil, she turned her back and walked over to the small coffee table. "I was also going to make this quick and painless, but I want Damon to see what happens when he doesn't stick with me." Katherine was walking slowly towards her with her hands behind her back. "Where should we start? The legs.. arms... stomach perhaps?" Her eyes widened as she saw the long knife she had in her hands. She was tracing it over her body, slightly digging deeper in some spots, drawing small amounts of blood. Katherine stood up and look like she was about to walk away when she kicked her in the stomach, causing her to scream and gasp for air. "Oh this is going to be fun!"

She laid there, gasping for air, when another kick to her ribs caused her nearly to black out. From the pain she knew one was broken, and a few were fractured. She tried to move only screaming when Katherine cut her thigh.

"Oh, I missed the artery." Her laugh was that of the devil. She realized she had to figure something out or she would be dead in the next few minutes. She glanced up, black spots filling her vision, this Katherine lady looked pissed off and like she was enjoying what she was doing.

"Wha, what do you want?"

"What do I want? Oh dear Elena, I want Damon, you see, he lost his way, so I need him to come back to me." With that she stabbed her other thigh and she screamed, it hurt to scream, she could feel the air leaving her more with every breath.

"Why, why would he, why would he want, want to be with someone like you? Your, your just a physcotic bitch." That earned her another kick to the stomach, along with a few punches to the face, but she had to keep going, if this meant it would make her die faster, she damn well was going to try. "S-see? You, you go around, beating those he cares about. So why, why would he want you? Your destroying everything he cares about. Go, go kill yourself, that, that would make him, him very happy." This earned her more punches kicks, she was waiting on the final stab to the heart so it would all end.

"If I destroy everything, he'll come back to me."

"Keep, keep telling yourself that." Instead of the heart, she was stabbed in the ribs, she knew it hit her lung because now it was impossible to breathe. She tried her hardest to breathe in all the air she could, but it wasn't working, she could hear Katherine laughing beside her.

"Oh the joys of being a vampire. Sweet dreams Ele-" She looked up to see Caroline had returned and ripped Katherine away. She watched with blurring eyes as the blonde tried to fight her, Katherine must have been older because Caroline was being tossed around, she did land a few blows, but nothing like Katherine. She was getting tired, all she wanted to do was sleep, maybe this was a nightmare, that would be nice.

"Elena! Don't close your eyes!" It was getting harder not to, her vision was even more blurry and the black dots were getting bigger. She started to close her eyes, welcoming the death, she would see her father and mother, watch over Jeremy and Jenna, she would be safe. Safe from things that do go bump in the night, safe from Matt, safe from everything. Just as she was about to give in, Damon's face popped into her head, she would be leaving him behind. But what would it matter? She would grow old, her would grow tired of her, he would be fine. Something inside her was telling her she was wrong. She was about to let go of everything and just except death, when she heard it, something she thought she would never hear again.

"Elena! Open your eyes." It was her imagination, it was tricking her to stay awake. He wasn't really there. "Open your eyes dammit, don't give in." What she would give to see his face again one more time. But her eyes felt to heavy.

"Give her your blood Damon! You know it will save her!"

"God dammit Caroline, I want her to open her eyes first! I want her to choose. Life or death Elena?"

She had a choice? There was no choice in this? She was dying, nothing could save her, even if they got to a hospital it would be to late. But didn't Caroline say something about blood? What would that do? Like always, curiosity got the best of her. She focused everything onto opening her eyes, she could tell she was close, her breath was ever so slightly still there. After what seemed like hours, her eyes slowly opened. She saw black, which made her panic, was she to late? Was she dead? She felt a warm hand lift her chin, it moved her slowly but it felt like she was moving like a speeding motorcycle, finally her eyes fell upon him. His face was full of worry and hesitation.

"D-Damon.." She could hardly hear herself but knew he heard her just fine. A small smile went across his face but was soon replaced with worry again.

"Elena, you need to drink my blood, now." That's where the hesitation was, it was her choice to live or die, but seeing his blue eyes, hearing his voice she couldn't look away, she couldn't leave him, he did promise he would never leave her. With all she could she nodded her head ever so slightly and watched him. Hope filled his eyes. He bit into his wrist, and the dark crimson liquid started falling. She was disgusted but intrigued all at once. He brought it to her lips and nodded for approval.

It was like nothing she ever tasted, it was sweet, like honey, but bitter. She could slightly taste bourbon, it was nothing she ever tasted before, and the more she drank, the more she wanted. After a few moments she brought her hands to his wrist, slowly started to sit up, a few moments later she pulled away from his wrist realizing she wasn't in pain anymore.

"How is that possible?" She watched him as a huge smile spread across his face.

"It's a mystery to everyone, how are you feeling?"

"Scared, confused, and healthy." He chuckled as he help stand her up. She looked around and saw that the room was trashed, couch was ripped, tables broken, books everywhere, glass shattered on the floor, and her blood pooled at her feet, she was covered in it. "And the need to shower."

"I have some clothes if you want, comfy ones I assure." She turned around to see Caroline with a sad smile on her face, along with a man she didn't recognize.

"Why did you leave? Why didn't you help?" She felt upset and hurt and betrayed, she liked Caroline, but she couldn't be friends with someone who would leave her behind.

"Because I'm only a few years old, she's hundreds. I went to get Damon, and when I got to him, Klaus was alive again, I told them it was Katherine, and they came just in time, I'm so sorry Elena.." She could see the tears well up in the blondes eyes, so she walked over and hugged her.

"I would've done the same thing Care." She smiled at her, giving her reassurance. "Where is she? Katherine?" They all looked down at their feet, even Damon. "She's gone or dead. Which one?"

"She ran as soon as she knew we were on the property. I tried to go after her, but she got away." The man who she could only presume was Klaus, spoke.

"So she could be back, wonderful."

"Actually, she would be stupid to come back, especially with Klaus here." She looked at Damon confusion plainly written on her face. "He's one of the very first vampires, very, very old."

"You know, that's a compliment Salvatore."

"I've still saved your ass more than you can count and it's only been a few years."

"So your saying I owe you one?"

"Damn right."

"Also assuming I'm going to help you get Katherine while staying here?"

"Right you are old friend."

"So let me get this straight, in a matter of minutes I managed to get three vampires to be my body guards?" They all looked at her a nodded. "That's pretty bad ass if you don't mind me saying."

They all laughed at her. She made friends with vampires, if only her parents could see her now, what they would say. She looked around one last time before sighing.

"Time to clean up too." She started to pick up books when Damon stopped her.

"Leave the mess to us, by the time your done showering and dressed this will be done."

"One of the benefits of being a vampire?" He smiled and started to push her towards the stairs.

"Now go." She got up a few steps and turned around, she was terrified of being alone, even if they were vampires, they couldn't take her fear.

"Can Caroline come with me?" She felt pathetic, but she wanted someone, and Caroline seemed like she would help her out. Before she could say anything Caroline was beside her.

"I'd be glad to." They linked arms and headed up stairs, when they got to the bathroom she was going to cry, shake and be angry all at once, and she didn't want Damon to be there. She knew he would be able to hear her, but she was hoping he would understand. If he tried to comfort her, go near her when she was so vulnerable and bare with her thoughts, she would end up doing something that would probably crush them both. Something like telling him she was falling in love with him... fast.
