I ran a hand through Damons ebony hair as he dozed on my lap as we laid beside the lake in the south of France. I raised the glass fo wine laced with blood and took a gulp, then a hand rose and I moved it away with a chuckle.

"Sorry, all mine."

"You are so mean to me Liz!"

What year it was, I wasn't even that sure. The 1900s for sure. Who cared? I had my Damon, and that was all I needed.

"Je T'aime." Damon now said, making me laugh and tease him. "Fail. You fail at the French accent."

"Oh... that is upsetting."

"Well-" but I never got it out as in a flash he had pinned me down by my shoulders and smirked down at me. "Think fast."

"Ok then-" I pushed him backwards hard and he smashed into the lake, coming up coughing and scoffed at me. "Cheap and tacky my love!"

I jumped into the lake now and ran a hand through his sopping hair with a chuckle, then kissed him passionately for a moment...

Until he splashed me that was.

I awoke from my dream with a start and raised a hand to my forehead and groaned.

"More civil this time?"

Now I turned over and found Damon stood next to the window, looking out at the Alabama sun that was rising. "I-" I started, then remembered what had happened. I was... human.

"Is it true Damon?" I asked in fear, sitting bolt upright. He turned now and nodded, walking forwards and sat down at the end of the bed. What had happened-?

He sighed now as I asked. "What happened? Why are we here?"

"Last resort. I don't know what's happened."

"What are you talking about?"

"Klaus... broke the curse."

Now I gasped in horror. "But Elena-! Where is everyone!"

"I told you. I don't know what happened. Everything just went... so very wrong, I grabbed you and just drove. I don't know what's happened to anyone... The place was a battleground."

Now tears rolled down my cheeks. "But-?" I just sobbed now and he sighed, pulling me into his arms. "I know. I know..."

"We have to go back! If-"

"No! Klaus is using the place as ground zero. Want to walk into a trap?"

"But if-"

"No buts! I'm keeping you alive and safe and that's it. No stupid risks."

I couldn't answer now, so I just let him hold me as I sobbed, hoping against hope no one was dead.

And Klaus was still searching for me...

-BLUEMOON-

It was hard getting my head around being human once more. I begged Damon to change me back, but he said he wouldn't risk it- Klauses had probably put a spell on me preventing my change.

So that was it. Stuck as a human-?

No... this wasn't happening...

There was a knock on the door now, and Damon growled a little and said to me. "Wait around the corner and don't make a sound." I listened and he opened the door. But now someone walked in going. "You two were incredibly hard to find."

Now I poked my head around the corner and sighed in relief- Elijah.

I walked out and asked. "What happened to everyone?"

Elijah sighed now and said. "Everyone is fine."

"And Elena?"

"Klaus used her, but Bonnie managed to stop him from killing her. She almost died going after Klaus."

Damon now spoke. "So she failed?"

"It seems so. But she has another chance if she can get close and his guards dropped."

I just shook my head now and said. "How. He's-!"

"His werewolf side is awake. Yes."

"And what does that mean?"

"It means he's dangerous. And he is looking for you. Everything has fallen into place. All he needs is you and everything is in danger. Do you know what a child of his will be like?"

"Not fairies and unicorns then?"

"No. Nothing like that. Monsterous creatures, that's what. It must be prevented..." he looked at Damon now. "At all costs."

Damon now scoffed. "What? You think I'm just going to let the freak knock her up like that? I want in! I had her first!"

Elijah raised an eyebrow, then sighed, rearranging his sleeves. "I must be leaving. These are dangeorus times." he left.

Now I turned to Damon and just said quietly. "Are you really going to-?"

He nodded and put a hand on my arm, kissing me for a moment as he sighed. "You will always be my Lizzie ok? I know I'm a dick. A rather big one too... but I do love you."

I just chuckled now, then let him kiss me again, this time for longer, pushing me onto the bed and kissing my neck. I hoped he remembered not to use me as a "meal on legs"

He sighed now and said with a chuckle. "Just like old times hmm?"

Now I was silent, then. "Looks like your the one whose gonna have to protect me this time."

"Oh? You never protected me."

"You were always getting into fights that I had to get you out of."

"Oh. Guilty."

"Then I had to teach you everything. And you were so damn crap at learning for a start. I'm suprised at all you manged to bite right. You missed first time around."

"Liz-"

"And running? You ran into that tree!"

"Now we discussed this-"

"And when you hid under my dress in 1879? Saying there was a mad woman on the loose who wanted to kill you? You were terrified! Hiding under my skirt... you never change!"

He chuckled now and shrugged. "Still... hiding under those dresses were fun."

"Are you saying mine wasn't the only one?"

"Well..."

"I'm going to slap you in a moment."

"I probably wont feel it human- oww."

"Feel that?"

"Evil bullying bitch."

Now I chuckled and just kissed him once more.

This was just like old times... with a twist.
