Elena's P.O.V
My power was extremely weak, what with me being tired and underfed and all, but I still felt the dramatic drop in power from the direction Damon had gone. Oh no, Damon! I also felt the sudden increase in power but it was way different. It was wild and uncontrolled and it was heading straight for me.
Stefan's P.O.V
I could practically smell Elena's fear and the way her pathetic rush of power tried to build. She was way underfed and very tired as well. This might even be a little too easy. Maybe I'll play with her a little. I had all the time in the world, what with Damon out of the picture. He wasn't going to get better anytime soon.
Damon's P.O.V
I managed to limp my way into town though I really didn't want to let people see me. Using the little remainder of my power, I influenced two girls out clubbing to come into the alleyway where I was hiding. As soon as they came in, I made one fall asleep, the other I grabbed and pulled to me, sinking my fangs deep into her neck. I felt the rush of power return to me and then I felt the last of her power sink into my throat. I dropped her and then grabbed the other, repeating the process. Soon she was drained too. I can't say it was a good way to die but I had made it quick. Plus it had gone to a good cause, I thought wiping the remaining blood from my lips. I was stronger than before, what with two fresh kills. Stefan wouldn't stand a chance now and this time, I wasn't going to think about it. I don't care if he's my brother; he's going to die tonight.
Elena's P.O.V
I jumped from the roof of the last building and then ran through the woods. However, my vision was getting a little blurry and I was just so tired. I tripped over a root and fell. I was just too tired to pick myself up again.
Stefan's P.O.V
I felt Elena's power drain little by little until she just stopped moving. It's so much easier when the prey doesn't run, I thought.
Damon's P.O.V
I hid my new strength, wanting to sneak up on Stefan. I could easily feel his. However, he wasn't who I was looking for. I couldn't find Elena. Her power must have gotten so weak that she's barely stronger than a five-year-old human. I followed Stefan's power trail until I got a hint as to where to look for Elena's power. I found her but she wasn't moving. She must be too weak. I should have made sure she ate better! It's going to be my entire fault if Stefan kills her. I groaned. If I hadn't ever come into her life, she'd be happy with the old Stefan, sipping blood from little squirrels. I screw up everything.
Stefan's P.O.V
I slowed down as I neared Elena. I saw her soon after that and a slow smile came across my face. Damon must not have fed her well, I thought, remembering how soon she had gotten too tired. There was a time I would have cared, my mind added weakly. I shook my head, Elena broke my heart, she doesn't deserve to be with anyone else.
Elena's P.O.V
I was barely aware of the fact that Stefan had stepped into my line of sight. My breathing picked up and I tried to control it, but I failed. He smiled a slow smile and it gave me the creeps. I sat up straight and he took a step towards me. I crawled back weakly, trying to stay away from him. He just smiled and took another step. My back hit a tree trunk and I froze. I was going to die.
Damon's P.O.V
I flew as fast as I could, feeling that Stefan had already met up with the weak Elena. She didn't stand a chance.
Elena's P.O.V
I stared into the eyes of who would be my potential killer. Had someone told me that he would be my demise a few weeks ago, I never would have believed them. I smirked, that time had past. Stefan was changed. He wasn't the same. He was sick. What used to be is never more. I will never be his again and for that he's going to make me pay. My only hope is that he will find happiness. Somewhere, if Stefan hasn't already killed him that is. I hope he didn't. Damon probably didn't want to kill Stefan and that's why Stefan won. In these last few days, I've learn what I could have, no, should have chosen. But I know Damon well enough from these past days to know that he dwells on nothing, he will be fine. He'll find someone else.
My killer took a step towards me, baring his fangs. He was much older than me and much stronger. Maybe he would make it quick, less painless. He took one more step to me and then his eyes flashed with a wild, untamed light. He ran to me with speed I couldn't follow, and clamped down onto my neck, sucking the life out of me. I couldn't withhold the cry of pain that came from my lips.
"Stefan, no!" I heard from somewhere behind my killer. His voice was sweeter than what I remembered.
I'm sorry, Damon, I thought to him with the last of my strength. I really did love you, and then I faded into the black, unfeeling of anything and unhearing, forever cold. Forever in darkness...
Damon's P.O.V
I growled and slammed into Stefan. He gasped and I pulled him from Elena before he could bite down again. I then punched his jaw, hearing the bones crack behind my fist. I smiled in sadistic humor and punched him in the gut as hard as I could. As he doubled over, I bore my fangs and bite down deep into his neck, sucking the blood from his veins. Subconsciously, I registered that the sun was rising. I smiled. Perfect. Stefan would see his last dawn.
Okay, I know this is super short but I wanted to update. Please review! And sorry if the constant change in P.O.V confused you. I thought it added drama, ya no? Damon kinda thinks like Stefan used to don't you think? You know, the 'everything's my fault' kind of thinking? :) Please tell me if you like!
