Please Don't kill me? Thank you for the reviews. OMG how sad was the S3 finale. For all you DE fans in doubt don't worry. This is part of Delena's journey, Elena was a human, who couldn't handle such a strong love with Damon. But now hopefully turning, will give her time to grow, to learn. Maybe she'll realise what true love is. Don't lose hope.

DISCLAMER- As much as I try, I don't and Never will own TVD. Character's all belong to L. , and The CW. However the plot is mine.

CHAPTER 7- Edge of Night


Elena POV

"Stefan, I can explain. We were going to tell you but I just got scared." He's going to hate me, was all I could think.

"When?" He growled.

I opened and closed my mouth, words seemed to escape me, as I tried to tell him the story of me and Damon's night-time... 'Activities'.

Damon cleared his throat, and put his hand on my shoulder. "This morning, when I went to take Elena shopping she was in the shower and she fell and slipped and broke her arm, and cut her leg."

What?

"So I went rushing, in and gave her my blood, because I didn't think that anything bad would happen. Then Jenna called her, she was crying and asked for Elena to go home. So she did but I texted Ric to see if he and Jenna had fought. He said no, so sensing something was wrong I Went over to her's. Katherine's back Stefan, she was Elena's house, and she staked me so I was defenceless. Snapped Elena's neck, then Elena woke up killed one or two humans, got sun protection. And that's it." Damon finish smiling.

Why had he lied? Because it would Kill Stefan, if he knew what had happened. I decided I would go along with it. What Stefan doesn't know won't hurt him.

"This true Elena. You really are a vampire who killed those poor humans?" Stefan queried

I nodded my eyes filling with tears, "I didn't mean it Stefan. I just lost it, you know?"

He smiled at me sadly and brought in for a hug. I put my arms around him, sinking into his comforting. This reminded of poor old Elena. The girl who just lost her parents, the girl who almost died with them.

But I wasn't that girl any more. I had grown older, learned more about love, but this, what I had with Stefan. It was nothing like mine and Damon's relationship.


Later that night I lay in the bed of the guest room. Thinking about Stefan and Damon. Stefan was so safe, comfortable, everything I needed after my parents death. His love was pure, he'd always respect me. Be good for me.

But when I was Damon it just consumed me. I changed him and somehow he changed me too. He challenges me, makes me question my life. My choices. What we had was a Dangerous yet passionate adventure, but I wasn't ready for it. He was either the best thing for me, or the worst.

Sighing, I shut my eyes and let sleep wash over me.

I was currently standing less than 10 feet away from my sophomore self, after the bonfire. The one that made me decide to dump Matt. The ones my parents picked me up from the night they died.

I walked closer, and watched as I talked to Bonnie on the phone, waiting for my parents when suddenly there was I whoosh and I looked up. I let out a sharp gasp.

"Katherine." Standing in front of my sixteen year old self was Damon Salvatore.

Slightly uncomfortable other Elena spoke, looking around "Ummm, no. I'm Elena"

Damon nodded in realisation. "Oh. You just look-" he trailed off.

The other Elena looked at him in question.

"I'm sorry. You just, really remind me of someone... I'm Damon."

"Not to be rude or anything Damon but it's kinda creepy that your out here in the middle of nowhere."

Damon almost scoffed, "Your one to talk. Your out here all by yourself."

The naive younger me looked at Damon like he was crazy, "It's mystic falls, nothing bad ever happens here."

Oh I was stupid, Damon scoffed and an awkward silence settled over us.

Trying to break it younger Elena spoke. "I -uh- got into a fight. With my boyfriend"

Damon looked at her-me curiously, "'Bout what?" Then realising that was rude, "May I ask?"

Younger me shook her head, "Life, future. He's got it all mapped out."

"You don't want it?"

"I don't know what I want." Ah my famous catchphrase.

"Well that's not true." He put his arms out and dropped them. "You want what everybody wants"

Younger me smiled, in a flirty way. "What? A mysterious stranger who has all the answers?"

Damon laughed, and smiled. "Hmm! Well lets just say I've been around for a long time." Didn't she know. "I've learned a few things."

The younger me smiled my eyes telling him to challenge me, "So Damon. Tell me. What is it that I want?"

Ugh I looked like Katherine there. Damon started to walk towards me. "You want a love that consumes you. You want passion and Adventure. And maybe even a little danger."

"So what do you want?"

Damon sighed, looking lost for words. There was the toot of a car horn behind me. I turned around there was my parents. I smiled as I seen there faces.

"That's my parents." Younger me smiled and turned round to Damon to wish him good night.

He was standing very close to the younger me. He looked deep into my eyes, "I want you to get everything your looking for. But right now I want you to forget this ever happened. Can't have anyone knowing I'm in town yet." He looked at me one last time. "Goodnight Elena."

And the he was gone.


Just as I thought it was over I was taken to my bedroom, the day Damon and Stefan had rescued me from Rose, Elijah and Trevor. The day before y necklace was suddenly on my neck again.

Damon was sitting at my window when I walked in, "Cute PJ's"

I sighed not in the mood for Damon, "I'm tired Damon."

He got up and walked towards me holding my necklace in the air. "Brought you this."

I looked at him in shock, "I thought that was gone?"

He shook his head. I smiled with gratitude. And reached out for it. "Thank you" He pulled it away. This can't be good. "Please give it back."

Damon looked at her, "I just have to say something"

Panicking I took at step back as he took one forward. "Why do you have to say it with my necklace?"

He looked deep in thought. "Well-" He stuttered and looked at me. "Because what 'm about to say, is probably the most selfish thing I've ever said in my life."

This was very worrying, "Damon. Don't go there."

He took another step towards me, "No I just have to say it once. You just need to hear it."

I stayed silent, waiting to hear what he was about to say. "I love you Elena. And it's because I love you that... I can't be selfish with you. Why you can't know this. I don't deserve you. But my brother does."

He moved closer, at first I thought he'd kiss me, but instead he placed a tender kiss upon my forehead. He stroked my hair, "God I wish you didn't have to forget this."

I looked at him with silent questions, our gazes locked, and he started to compel me. "But you do..." A tear slipped down his cheek.

I blinked, there was a whoosh. And he was gone.

I woke up with a gasp. Tears were flowing down my cheeks. They were both tears of joy and Anger. How could he make me forget? Was he really that stupid, or selfless? Well I guess we would never know, well not until we were alone.

As quietly as I could, I padded through to Damon's bedroom and Lay under his covers. Inhaling his scent.

And then for the second time that night, I closed my eyes and let sleep carry me.


Damon POV

Currently me and Ric were sitting, drowning our sorrows in Bourbon. Alaric was babbling on about poor Jenna after the big bad Katherine and how I was very irresponsible for sharing blood with Elena and making out with her. Twice.

For the 100th time that night some chick was practically sitting on me trying to hit on me. Actually now I thought about it I was pretty hungry. And all this talking about Elena's delicious blood was making me thirsty. I interrupted Ric's rant."Two minutes Ric." I turned to the girl beside me. "Wanna go outside?"

She nodded eagerly. Ric punched him in the arm. "Seriously, your taking her home to have sex with you?"

I scoffed, "No, I'm just hungry. But now you mention it, since Andy left, I've only had hot make out sessions with your vampire step-daughter."

Ric shoved him "I want to see you back in here in 10 minutes."

I bowed at him mockingly, "Yes master."

I lead the girl outside and we walked down the alley. I looked at her seductively. "So what's your name?"

"Sophie." She whispered, staring it my lips. Should be Slut.

" Well, Sophie. Your not going to scream, or run. Infact your going to enjoy this." I compelled her, time to get the fact that I let Elena walk all over me, again all out.

I flashed my fangs at her, and grinned evilly before sinking my teeth into her neck. Drank deeply, why didn't Elena want me. I kept on drinking. What did Stefan have that I didn't. Was it because he was so fucking good all the time? Because he never compelled her to forget anything.

God I was so fucking angry with her, with myself. I kept drinking and drinking. Getting angrier and angrier until. SNAP ! I broke poor Sophie's neck. "Whoops." I picked her body up and walked over to my car, whistling a tune. I shoved her in my trunk and went to get Ric.

He looked behind me. "Where's the girl?"

"Sent her home. Now come on, Lets go to my house." God I sounded like a little boy.

I walked out to my car with Ric following behind. We jumped in, "Just gotta take a little detour first." I explained

I drove us off into the forest, Alaric looked at me suspiciously. "Damon, what have you done?"

"What makes you think I've done something?" Did I really look that obvious.

I popped the trunk, and threw a shovel to Ric. "Get digging" I pulled out Sophie and threw her to the ground with a slight smirk.

Alaric growled at me, "You killed her Damon? What the fuck man?"

I looked over at him, "She was all over me, and I was pissed, she was asking for it."

I went to my trunk and brought out some gasoline and pulled out my lighter. Always prepared was me. I poured the gasoline over her and set her alite.

"So if your burning her, why am I digging?" Ric asked

I turned to look at him, was he really that stupid. "It's called covering my tracks. You of all people should know how to do that."

"Dick" I heard him mutter

I put away my supply's and picked up the charred body and threw it in the deep hole Ric had dug. We covered it up and set off on our merry way.

"You know, I'm always here for you Damon. No matter what."

I nodded, "I know Ric. If it wasn't for you sometimes I would be killing so much more."

Ric smiled sadly. "Well us Badass Mother Fuckers gotta stick together."

We laughed as we pulled up in front of the Boarding House. "Indeed we do Ric. Indeed we do."

We drank until we passed out. tomorrow is another day. You have all eternity to try and win Elena's heart. It was only fair he tried seeing as Elena had already captured his.
