Chapter 10
The waves rippled across the lake, while the sun set in the distance. This lake held so many memories. My family and me used to come here all the time but that was before my parents died. I was sat on the dock with my feet dangling in the water, I liked to come here when I needed to think. It was so peaceful and not many people came here, I had only ever told one person about it, but they wouldn't be coming to look for me any time soon.
Flashback
Damon and I were sat in my bedroom playing twenty questions and it was my turn to ask.
"If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?" I asked while spooning some ice cream into his mouth.
"I would have to say Vegas, but it would be boring if you weren't there" He said and spooned some into my mouth "What about you?"
I smiled at his answer. I knew exactly where I would want to be, but it was private, somewhere I had never told anyone about. Including Stefan. "If I told you, I'd have to kill you" I said.
"Technically I'm already dead, so it doesn't matter" He said rolling his eyes. "Tell me" He whined.
"Okay but you must promise to never tell anyone" I said. He crossed his heart and pleaded with his eyes. "Okay there is a lake in the forest, It is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. My parents, Jeremy and me used to go there all the time..." I trailed off and looked down. Damon lifted my chin and looked into my eyes.
"It won't hurt forever Elena" He said softly. I smiled and nodded
End of flashback
The sun had finally gone down and the moon was high in the sky. It was getting late but I wouldn't leave. There is nowhere I would rather be, well it would be better if someone was here with me. I took my feet out of the water and curled up into a ball on the dock. Sleep was what I needed, I was so tired. I was just about to drift away into my dreams when footsteps woke me as they walked down the dock.
They wrapped their arms around me and lifted me into their arms. I automatically knew it was Damon because he smelt like leather and whiskey, but I could smell his fragrance as well and it soothed me. He reached down and kissed my head and ran into the forest.
"Don't leave!" I shouted. But he didn't respond, he just continued to walk away. "Damon... Please wait" I struggled. I was reaching out for him but I kept slipping. He was so close, yet so far away and I couldn't reach him. "Damon Please don't leave me! I love you!" I yelled.
I woke with a jump. I was sweating and breathing rapidly. It was pitch black and I looked for my clock, It read 3:32am. I suddenly remembered everything from last night and I sat up. "Damon?" I asked panicked and reached out for him. He held my hand softly and shushed me.
"I'm here" He whispered and rubbed circles into my hand to sooth me. "Go back to sleep"
"I'm so sorry" I sobbed.
"I know" He said and pulled me into his arms. I lay my head on his shoulder and put my hand over his heart.
"I love you" I whispered.
"I love you too" He whispered back, and kissed my head. I fell asleep in his arms and slept peacefully.
