Elena's POV
I walked back into my room calmly and when I closed the door behind me, I shrieked and started to struggle when someone covered up my mouth. They turned me around so I could see who it was.
Damon.
I narrowed my eyes at him and frowned, when he took his hand away I moved backwards.
"What do you want Damon?" I asked quickly, scanning him; he was still wearing his same black leather jacket and his hair was sleek and perfect as always. Wait, why was I saying this?
"I just came to see you, see how you were doing with this Nicole situation." he said coolly, there wasn't a hint of honestly in his voice. He wanted to know something else so I answered as simply as I could;
"I'm fine, don't worry about me." I answered back, much more calm than I felt.
"I know that Katherine's out of the tomb. How long have you known?" he said and walked swiftly toward me and gripped my wrist, tightly. He pressed harder every time a second went by, "Tell me," he growled.
"I haven't known for long Damon, I'm sorry that I didn't tell you. But I couldn't, please understand that?" I begged,
"How did she even get out of the tomb? If she got out, then the other vampires from 1864 would have been able to get out as well." He said angrily and I yelped a little as his grip tightened,
"Damon, please let me go." I murmured, realisation hit him and he released my wrist.
"Sorry, I must go...I need to find Katherine, if she's out of the tomb then we've got trouble. What would she be doing back in town anyway?" Damon explained aloud. I simply shrugged my shoulders,
"I honestly do not know Damon, but one thing's for sure; do not find Katherine, okay?" I pleaded,
"Why not?" He growled,
"Because you finding her could cause her to do even more damage to my family. I don't want anybody else to get hurt Damon, especially not Jeremy. He's been failing at school recently and I don't want-" I rambled on, he placed a finger to my lips and hushed me soothingly.
"I will not allow Katherine to do that, I promise. Jeremy has me and Stefan to protect him anyway." Damon said brightly, attempting to brighten my spirits. I sighed in response, where was Stefan? I hadn't seen him since earlier today, he said that he had something to take care of...
"Damon, where is Stefan?" I asked, Damon's eyes narrowed suddenly.
"I don't know." He was lying and I knew it,
"Damon, don't lie to me where is he?" I asked,
"He's just back at the boarding house, everything's going to be fine Elena." He saw the worry in my face and took my small, dainty hands in his. "look, if your worried, ring him. Ask him to come over, I'm sure that he'll be able to protect you if Katherine does turn up." He said jokily,
"He won't be able to protect me. And you and I know it," I said, I felt like I was disobeying Stefan by saying this. But, it was only the truth and the truth slips out now and again. It has to. Otherwise your going to go insane with lies.
"I could protect you," he paused. "If only you would choose me..."
"You know that I'm never going to choose you, Damon. I love Stefan." I said as a matter of factly,
"You only think that! You don't listen to what your heart truly tells you, Elena! You feel something for me, I can sense it. You and I both know that we have something," Damon started yelling and I shook my head, trying to make him stop.
"I love him, Damon and if you think otherwise then your wrong. And I am listening to my heart, that's the only thing I ever do." I explained quickly, he growled.
"I was right. You are turning into Katherine." he said and I shook my head,
"I'm not, Damon. Just...leave. Now." I threatened, my voice sounded far braver than I felt.
"Or what? he asked casually,
"Or I'll call Nicole, she'll come and hurt you." I said and it was the truth, Nicole would do anything for me, especially when it came to my safety and Damon.
"She can't, Elena. She is strong, but she's weak right now. She's confused and doesn't know what is right and wrong. I will see her in the morning and find out how she's doing, okay? I don't want to leave you. I just want to know where Katherine is, I'm sorry." He explained and I felt a little surprised at what he had said, he really did care about Katherine, but I didn't want Stefan, or even Damon getting hurt no matter how much I hated Damon right now. I didn't want him dead.
"I'm sorry, I never realised how much you cared about Katherine. Leave then, go and get yourself killed. But when your dying on the floor, think of me and what I've been telling you. I don't want you to get hurt, Damon. I don't want anybody else to get hurt, I don't think I could handle it."
"Why would Katherine want to hurt me anyway?" He asked, I shrugged simply.
"I don't know Damon, but she hurt Nicole and I don't know what she's planning but I don't want Nicole to know anything about what has been happening. It might hurt her too much,"
"Why don't we just tell her everything? I think she bloody deserves to know." Damon said cruelly,
"I'm sorry Damon, but she's my sister and I need to help her through this. Believe me, I went through what she's going through, I know how she feels. She feels confused because she's been introduced to this whole supernatural world in the most horrifying way in which I could think of." I explained and Damon nodded,
"But the thing is, Elena - she is a vampire and your a human. She isn't exactly going through the same thing which you went through, I'm sorry." Damon said softly, at least he had calmed down and I was happy at that. Maybe he wouldn't go and find Katherine now? I thought, but I knew it wasn't true. Nothing I thought was true any more.
"Damon, please don't get Katherine. She's only going to cause trouble when she gets here. If you care about me and my sister, then don't even think about getting Katherine involved in this." I practically begged,
"She already is involved, Elena." Damon said quickly before he ran across my room and jumped out of the window. I felt a tear roll down my cheek, out of confusion and hurt. I climbed into my bed and pulled the covers over me,
Tomorrow is another day...
