I knew Damon was outside. I felt his presence right when he was walking up the driveway. I felt how Elena instantly calmed down when he was in the window. She looked peaceful as she carried on in her sleep as he peered thru the window and watched. I have every reason to hate Damon and I do but I can't deny the feelings he has towards Elena. My feelings towards Elena as a friend is let her work out her own problems with Damon, but my inner witch is telling me to dissolve the problem and pray she will understand that this is for her own good; that she needs protection. I now understand what I must do. I just hope that my friendship with Elena won't be lost in the crossfire because I cannot honestly say that it will be me that she chooses.

I want to kill him. Every being in my soul is fighting on instinct to protect Elena from Damon. I knew one day that a situation like this was going to happen and I had doubts at first but I knew I should have warned Elena better that Damon will and always being a monster. I cannot understand why she chooses to look past and that and underestimate his abilities to cause chaos around everything that he touches. Damon has hurt and destroyed everything precious and dearest in my life and I will die before he inflicts that pain on Elena's life. First, Katherine and now Elena, I hope that Elena will be able to forgive me but this is for her own safety. I now know what I must do. I must kill Damon to protect Elena, this is the only way. One day I hope she can forgive me and understand that she needed to be rid of this evil before she can start a normal life. After everything that has happened to Elena after meeting us the least I can do is offer her a normal life.

I never been lost for words, but I do not have a single idea on how to approach Elena. When it was Stefan that went off the wagon I was able to confront her and offer her support, but it is me that needs supporting and I doubt that the witch or brother dearest will be on my side cheering me on. I should leave Elena alone for a while maybe give her some time to forgive me on her own free will. Mother always said if it was meant to be then it will happen; well I pray that it will happen.

The smell of bacon and eggs woke me up from a peaceful sleep, well semi-peaceful sleep. I slowly climbed out of the coach and rubbed my groggy eyes and turned to find Bonnie in the kitchen. Bonnie may know how to conjure up spells and potions but her ability to use the kitchen has always been her weakness. I walked into the kitchen to find cracked eggs shells everywhere a burnt skillet where the bacon has turned from nice and plumb to crinkle and unrecognizable. I decided that maybe I can offer her a hand.
"How is it going"? I didn't mean to laugh but the look on her face was priceless as her eyes pleaded for help. She turned to look at me with a smile on her face, "Pleaseā¦help me!"
I laughed as I walked over to the stove and threw the pieces into the trash and washed the sticky residue out of the pan. I walked over to the refrigerator and grabbed a couple of eggs and some more strips of bacon. Bonnie took off the apron and handed it to me, "I will just get out of your way" I laughed.
I completed the breakfast a few minutes later and carried two plates out the cabinet and set it down on the table. Bonnie and I ate in silence for a few minutes before she interrupted it. "Elena we need to talk about what happened last night, about Damon"
"Bonnie I really don't know what to say to that I know he didn't mean to, he hasn't been feeding on blood and the accident was just a mistake."
I guess Bonnie didn't like my answer and became furious, "Damn it Elena! You could have died and you are still here making excuses for Damon. I found you bleeding on the floor because he couldn't control his hunger of a small ass scratch and you are just ignoring the fact that your life was almost over last night"
"He didn't mean to! It was accident Bonnie. He hasn't been feeding on blood and you didn't see the look in his eyes he was trying to fight it. I know that it was accident okay and I don't need you to sit here and judge people on their mistakes because let's face it you and I know that you're not perfect
"Elena I might not be perfect but neither is Damon he has killed people and you were just about to be another notch on his belt. At least Stefan has his humanity and feeds on animals unlike Damon. But if you can get your heads out of the clouds and think then maybe you will take this seriously".
"What the hell is your problem Bonnie? This is not about what Damon did to me this is you still holding a grudge over what happen to your grandma. Let me ask you something, did I hold a grudge when you deactivated the invention, no! Did I judge you when you decided to go behind my back and date Stefan, no! So please spare me on how you feel on humanity."
"Look what he has done to us? You can't even see that he is breaking us apart! He kills and breaks everything around him Elena and you are next. Why can't you see that I am trying to protect you from him? If he was more like Stefan..."I break her off before she can finish.
"Stefan? Did you not forget what happened last year when Stefan had one little bite and went on a hunting spree stealing blood and even draining Amber almost dry or did you have your head so far in the clouds that it didn't stop you from going with him. Why is Stefan so different huh! He makes one mistake and everybody overlooks it but when Damon makes a mistake you people are all ready with your stakes, accusations, and I told you so! Damon doesn't need to destroy our friendship Bonnie because you are doing that on your own. "
I leave the table and walk towards the door and opened it for her. "I am thankful for what you did for me Bonnie, but if you don't mind I need to be alone to think."As I point out the door gesturing for her to leave.
Bonnie gets up from the table and stomps into the living room to grab her jacket and keys from the table. She glares at me and opens out her mouth to speak but she doesn't and leaves out the door. I slammed the door as she is walking down the pathway and heads toward the kitchen to take the bottle of Tylenol. Ugh. So, much for having a peaceful day; one down and two more to go. Hopefully Stefan will be more understanding.
