So, I'm pretty sure you guys are going to have a love/hate relationship with this chapter!
The air was warm as Elena stepped out of her car. Caroline and her shopping sprees lasted way to long. It was already darkening.
She shook her head then walked toward the apartment complex.
"Damon?" she called, opening the door.
"Elena! Leave-" She heard him yell, then a muffled noise and a groan of pain.
She walked in and gasped. There was the man from the club, driving his fist into her boyfriend's stomach, while two other's held him steady.
"Damon!" She yelled, rushing forward. He was covered in blood, one eye already swelling.
"Hello again, love," the man smirked at her.
"What the hell?" She demanded and then he grabbed her.
"No!" Damon yelled.
"Looks like your pretty little girlfriend decided to join the party."
Damon looked at the man, "Just let her go, please, Klaus, she has nothing to do with this."
"Damon, what's going on?" Elena demanded, and the man, Klaus, tightened his grip on her.
She tried to break his hold, but he shook her, slamming her against the wall, and she lost her balance. His arms held her limp.
"No! Stop!" Damon yelled, "Klaus, please, don't hurt her...she's pregnant..."
Elena didn't like the smile that crossed the man's face.
"Is that so?"
She felt the breath knocked out of her as the man tossed her to the ground.
"Hold still now, sweet," The man, Klaus, told her. She felt his hands on the button of her jeans.
"Get off!" she screamed, kicking out at him. She caught his rib, and he doubled for a second. She tried to scramble then, but he recovered, pulling her back by her leg.
She leaned up, swinging, but Klaus was able to grab her arms, pinning them above her head.
"Now, be still!" he said forcefully, managing to get her pants down.
"Klaus! Don't!" Damon was bellowing, fighting against the men who restrained him, "Please, God, please...Stop!"
Elena felt tears in her eyes, and tried again to kick the man off of her, Damon's name falling from her lips.
This resulted in his hand across her cheek. She was stunned by the pain.
"No," she whimpered, but then it was done.
He forced himself inside her, still holding her pinned. She tried to fight him off, but the pain was too much. Then he slapped her again, making her vision black for a moment.
The pain seared to other parts of her body, and she couldn't stop the tears anymore. She looked back, and saw Damon's eyes on her.
Her heart broke as she registered the tears on his own face.
"God, she's a tight one, isn't she," Klaus panted, and Damon screamed out a bunch of words, but Elena was fading a little now.
Finally it was over and Klaus stood, walking over to Damon.
"Well, that was fun."
He punched him one more time, blood dripping across his knuckles, before telling the others to let Damon go...it was time to leave.
Then they were gone.
Elena blinked a few times, before noticing that Damon was crawling his way over to her.
She sat up, turning to him, ignoring the pain that it caused.
"Are you okay?" she asked, helping him to his knees, resting on hers.
"Your asking if I'm-!? Elena...I'm so fucking sorry..I don't..I can't-"
"Hey..shh, baby, it'll be okay...but we need to get to the hospital. Okay?"
Damon nodded, and she noticed he was losing a lot of blood. What had Klaus done to him?
"Alright, wait here, I'll go start the car...we'll call the sheriff on the way. He wont get away with this," she promised and Damon nodded, brushing the hair out of her face.
"Just relax," she whispered, leaning in and kissing him before standing. When she did a pain ripped through her lower abdomen, making her pause. But when she looked down at Damon, at all the blood, she pushed on, out to the car.
She reached it, and opened the door, screaming at what she saw.
A body behind the wheel, long dead.
"Hello love," she turned around, and there was Klaus, with the others.
"What the hell?"
"Well well now, you didn't think we would just leave you?" Klaus asked, standing by.
She turned to run, but another of the men were already there, grabbing her.
"What is this?" she demanded.
"Just a little something we snuck out of the morgue...don't you worry sweetheart, it's all part of the plan."
The man holding her placed something over her mouth then, and suddenly things started spinning, and she lost her balance.
But before she faded she heard a voice call out, "Is the car set up?"
"Yeah, we can go."
"Good," a laugh, "Salvatore's about to get the shock of his life."
Then she was being moved, as this happened, the pain became overbearing and blood was running down her legs, soaking her pants.
"What the hell, man?" Someone asked.
"She must be miscarrying..."
"Just get her in, we'll deal with it."
The last thing she registered was the noise of an explosion before everything went dark.
Elena sat up in the bed, still panting. Oh. My. God.
Her head felt clearer than ever as an on slaughter of things hit her all at once.
"Who the hell do you think you are? You can't just go around kissing random people?"
The man smirked, "This is a kissing booth is it not?"
Her hand collided with his face.
"Hey I'm Damon."
"Yeah, I know...we've met," she answered coldly.
"Okay, yeah, sorry about that...I was being a dick that day," he looked a little guilty.
"I'm going to kiss you."
"Why?"
"Because I want to."
"Damon, he wasn't flirting with me, God!"
"Well it sure as hell looked like it!"
"Can you please find another dress?" Caroline's voice begged.
"Why?" Elena asked confused, "What's wrong with this one?"
"It doesn't make a STATEMENT!"
"So what is the deal with you and Damon?"
Elena blushed, "It's nothing Caroline."
"Just leave her alone about it," Bonnie stood up for her.
"No, I want the goods!" Caroline insisted.
"Fall fest is tonight," Caroline grinned.
Matt groaned, "Your making us dress up?"
"Of course! It's Halloween!"
"I love you, Elena...and I can't be selfish with you."
"Being with me isn't selfish, Damon. I love you, too. I want this, You want this."
"I'm not joking, Damon."
He smiled, "We're really gonna have a baby?"
"Yes."
"Always and Forever."
"Sounds good to me."
Everything flooded her mind all at once. Memory after memory settling in and she shook beneath the on slaughter.
"Elena?" Damon's voice called out from beside her.
When she didn't answer, he sat up, fumbling for a moment before finding the on switch to the lamp.
Light filled the room and he looked at Elena, still huddled over, holding her temples.
"What's the matter?" He asked her.
After a moment she blinked, then lifted her head.
It had all finally stopped, and she turned, meeting Damon's worried gaze.
She moved then, standing up from the bed, and he did the same.
"Elena...what is it?" he asked, as she walked around. He took her in his arms.
She threw her arms around his neck and placed her lips on his own.
He was surprised for a moment, but kissed her back.
She pulled away, tears in her eyes.
"I remember, Damon...I remember everything."
Dun dun dun! So the memories are back, but things are far from getting wrapped up! More surprises coming up!
