Chapter 7: Blue Eyed Saviour


The brunette started down at her hands, feeling helpless and lost. The shock was still evident within her. She felt numb. Her body in a frozen bliss. Everything that happened was like a whirl dream to her. She was her. Just Elena. Well she would have been just the normal Elena Gilbert if it hadn't have been for the little add-on to her life, just several hours ago. Damon had fed her vampire blood, during the time where she didn't have a state of mind or when she didn't know what was real or fantasy. Meaning that she was now in transition, since she had died during all the life changing events.

Looking up, she laced her fingers together as a soft sigh crept through her lips. There was nothing audible coming out of her mouth. It was mostly muttering as such. They were still in sight of the large waterfall. It's still as beautiful as it was before she was in transition. Just a lot louder and sensitive t her ears. Damon and Katherine were on the other side of the lake, whispers being swapped here and there. Elena couldn't hear much as she was still getting the gist of her vampire 'gifts' as they were. Watching them, she seen them looking over now and again, causing her to sigh. If they were talking about her, how come they didn't just come and say what they had to say to her face.

Getting up, she glanced at them quickly and steadily moved back, just wanting space and time to herself. Turning around, she started running as fast as her feet would take her. The sound of the wind swept past her ears as she pushed past the trees. The quicker she got out of here, the better.

"Elena!" Damon called out, his voice anxious and filled with worry.

Elena swallowed and ran faster, jumping over logs and branches as she looked for a way out. She felt as if the woods were never-ending and they were swallowing her up. She had to get away. She had to escape. Tripping over slightly, she gasped and fell into a tree, moaning in pain. Where were they parked? Beginning to move again, she skidded as she came to a hill and gasped, seeing the dip. She would fall and it would hurt a LOT.

Looking behind her, she heard footsteps and swallowed, making her way down quickly as she tried not to lose her footing. Catching her foot in a root buried into the mud, she yelped and fell forward, tumbling down the hill as she hit her head on a log. Rolling over slowly, she stared at the sky, feeling pain thump through her head. What was happening to her?

Pushing herself up slowly, she looked around, dizziness surrounding her vision. She was so lost. Standing up, she limped a little, feeling the ache in her leg. Quickly pushing against the pain, she moved through the woods again, searching for an exit. She never thought she would be running from her doppleganger twin and her blue-eyed saviour.

Seeing the light from the moon shining down, she smiled in relief as she found the exit. Hearing nothing, she ignored the pain and started running towards the opening with deep breaths. She was going to be fine. Of course she was. Thankfully the sun had gone, so she wouldn't burn. Making it out of the woods, she continued going, not wanting to stop and screamed as someone grabbed her and held her tight.

"Let go of me!" She screamed in frustration and fear as she struggled against them.
"Shh...Elena breathe. Calm down." Damon hummed into her ear, holding her body against his, feeling the shakes coming from her.
"N...no." She responded weakly as sobs began choking up in her throat.
"Lena...look at me." Tilting her chin, he looked into her eyes, watching the tears fall like raindrops as he swallowed the lump in his throat.

"I'm...a...a monster." Elena told him hoarsely, feeling sick, "I'm like Katherine."
"You're nothing like HER. You hear me? You're beautiful. You are YOU. The Elena Gilbert that I am madly and undeniably in love with." He told her softly.

"I'm sorry." She told him through her sobs as he held her to his chest and cupped the back of her head, rocking her against him.
"I got you. I got you." He whispered soothingly and continued rocking her, hoping to calm her from her state.

Molding her body against his, she wrapped her hands around his leather jacket and held him close, tears falling. She was going to be okay. She was always going to be okay with Damon by her side. As she had said before, he was her blue-eyed saviour with no problem getting himself killed for her.

Feeling light-headed, she opened her eyes and gazed around slowly, feeling weird. No. You HAVE to be kidding. NOW? Right now. Are they taking the piss? Feeling herself slipping away, she gripped Damon's jacket tighter.

"D...Damon." Elena whispered softly, blinking rapidly, trying to stop herself from falling deep.
"I'm here." He told her, looking down at her and frowned, seeing the sways of her, "Lena..."
"Drea..." Before she could finish, she collapsed into his arms as the darkness consumed her and swallowed her into the black hole.


Beeping coursed through her ears. Beep, after beep, after beep. The sound of the hinges on the door creaked as it opened and closed over. Thunder erupted throughout the sky as the rain padded down against the window with great force. Moving her fingers slowly, she felt someones skin against hers and stretched her fingers slowly, hoping to feel something. Anything.

"Kat?" She heard the whisper of Damon's voice in her ear as he pressed a feather light kiss to her palm.
"Dame..." The brunette forced out, the pain she was feeling indescribable. Why did she have to feel real pain in this world?

"Thank god." Hearing the scraping of the chair on the floor, she felt as he pressed light kisses to her forehead, eyelids, nose and then lips, "You're okay."
"Mmhm. Barely." Elena told him with amusement laced in her voice. Chuckling weakly, he kissed her cheek and stroked her hair back slowly.

"God...what happened Kat? I thought I'd lost you." He whispered, pain in his voice as she forced her eyes open, staring into his blue orbs as tears leaked out and poured down his cheeks.

Swallowing the lump in her throat, she reached up, shaking slightly and placed her hand on his cheek as he automatically leaned into her, needing to feel at peace. Stroking her thumb across the tear marks, she smiled weakly, controlling her own emotions.

"I'm okay. Please stop crying. It kills me ya know?" Elena asked with a bit of teasing in her voice, drawing a smile from him.
"I was worried. I came back and...and you weren't in bed. I didn't know how long I was out. It was the earthquake. What happened Kat?" He questioned.
"Earthquake...Stefan." She mumbled hoarsely, tears starting to glaze her chocolate eyes as she recalled the events in her head.

"Shh...it's okay. Stefan wasn't there, he must have ran. Bastard." He muttered angrily to himself as he took her hand and pressed kisses to it.
"Don't worry. I'm fine." Elena told him, trying to push herself up as he gently held her down and shook his head.
"Nu uh. Don't even think about it. Sleep, alright?" Damon told her, brushing her hair back as she sighed and leaned into his touch slowly.
"Fine. I'll be good this once." She told him, closing her eyes as she felt a certain relaxation take over her.
"Goodnight Kat." He whispered, pressing one last kiss to her lips as he pulled back.


Hearing the sound of glasses clattering together and the flames blistering wildly, she stirred a little, enough to know where she was. The familiar scent crept inside her. Damon's cologne and bourbon. Stretching, she felt relief flood through her body.

"Why can she not just wake up already!" A voice similar to hers whined in annoyance as she paced back and forward across the floor.
"Because she'll wake up when she's ready Katherine!" Damon spat at her, anger evident in his voice as he took another gulp of his dearly beloved bourbon.

"I haven't got all day! I shouldn't even be here!" She answered him with a pout.
"Oh boo hoo. You mess with Elena, you get yourself in a mess. Live with the consequences you brat." He told her, finishing his bourbon.
"Oh...that hurt my feelings Damey. Have you no shame?" Katherine questioned, tilting her head as he glared at her.
"None for you anyway."

Elena having heard enough of their bicker, slowly pushed herself up and pushed the blanket off of her body, having enough heat for the night. The two looked at her as Katherine threw her head back, sighing in relief as Damon rushed to her side at vampire speed and bent down, his eyes shining with concern.

"You okay?" He asked gently, checking her over for any new injuries as she couldn't stop the small smile from creeping on to her face.
"I'm fine, don't worry Damon." Elena told him, running her hand up and down her neck, feeling tension.
"Okay." Damon answered slowly, not wanting to crowd her and got up, going into the kitchen as Katherine collapsed on to the couch opposite.

"Is transition a bitch?" She asked sweetly and crossed her arms, a hint of a glare in her eyes.
"Guess you'd know." Elena answered back sarcastically as Katherine scowled and pouted, folding her arms across her stomach.
"Katherine, stop being a child." Damon told her as he walked back in and sat next to Elena, holding a blood bag in his hand, "For you."

"Awh...you shouldn't have." The brunette told him, sarcasm in her voice.
"Don't think I'll let you away with that attitude towards me. If that doppleganger bitch over there doesn't, then either do you." He told her.
"Even though you care for me and hate her guts?" Elena pointed out, raising an eyebrow.
"Hey!" Katherine shouted and pointed to herself, "Sat right here with vampire hearing and REAL feelings."
"A point made. But the same goes." Damon told her, putting the blood bag on her lap as he moved over, pouring another glass of bourbon.

Elena smiled softly and rolled her eyes, looking down at the blood bag on her lap. She knew what she had to do. She couldn't die. She didn't want to die...again. She was hungry, that was for sure. It felt weird staring at a blood bag and wanting nothing more than to suck the liquid out of it. Most of all, it was scary, knowing she was never going to be the same anymore. Now that the additional add ons were here, she would have to get use to them.

That including the bitch of a doppleganger and the ass of the blue eyed saviour.
