With just a touch of my burning hand

I'm gonna live my life to destroy your world

Prime directive, exterminate

The whole fuckin' race

And your face drops in a pile of flesh

And then your heart, heart pounds

Till it pumps in death

Prime directive, exterminate

The whole fuckin' place

The reassurance that Jeremy was coming was enough to help me settle down and close my eyes, body curling up as I started to drift.

"Elena?" The shaking of my shoulder brought me out of my disturbing dream only to peer into the baby blues that had been haunting my nightmares. Scrambling away from him in my half asleep state I tried to put as much distance between Damon and I as I could.

"What are you doing in here?" I demanded voice gravely from sleep. Damon sighed and shifted his weight on the edge of my bed looking uncomfortable.

"You were screaming in your sleep Elena." Damon cocked an eyebrow at me folding his arms across his chest as he settled into a defensive pose, "I was seeing if you were okay." Rollin my eyes I mirrored his stance folding my own arms across my chest.

"Like you really give a rats ass." I snarled daring Damon to deny it but his attention wasn't focused on my words, his eyes were narrowed at my arms instead.

"What the hell did you do?" He snapped grabbing my arm and tugging away from my body his hands pushing up the sleeves of my shirt so he could see the bandages all that better. Yanking my arm away from him I tried not to wince as the barely scabbed cuts broke up once again the sting a sharp reminder of everything that had happened. Damon growled as he tugged me forward, peeling the bandage slowly off of my arm to reveal the angry red looking cuts, the blood slowly starting to bead before trickling down my arm slightly.

"It's none of your business." The excuse was weak and I knew it but still I spat out the words, drawing my arm back and tugging down my sleeves down over my arms to hide everything from sight.

"Do you have a death wish is that what this is?" He growled out leaning down so that he was over me, his arms boxing me in his breath hot on my face. Drawing my lips into a thin line I shook my head and narrowed my eyes.

"What I do is none of your concern after what you did to with her Damon." I shot back leaning back on my bed even further. Damon growled low in his throat, the sound sending shivers up and down my spine and causing my body to clench in need. My mind may have hated him because of Katherine but my body sure as hell still wanted him.

"Everything you do is my concern Elena," He snarled out leaning closer to me, his lips mere inches from my own. "You are mine, I told you that yesterday."

Scoffing I shook my head and went to tell him exactly where he could shove his words when suddenly his lips were on mine and his fingers were twining in my hair, holding me in place. Stunned slightly it took me a moment to realise what was happening and Damon took my not pushing him away as an invitation, his tongue easily parting my lips and pressing into my mouth, stroking along my own tongue and demanding that I respond. Hands reaching up to clasp as his shoulder I struggled with wanting to push him away and pull him closer all in the same breath. Damon groaned and pushed forward his knee pressing between my legs as he tugged slightly at my hair, tilting my head back how he wanted it so he could thrust his tongue in deeper. I was half tempted to lay back to tug him over me and get lost in his body again like I knew I would but then Katherine popped into my head and I was shoving Damon away from me with all the strength that I had. Damon looked dazed as he stared at me, his lips swollen from being pressed against my own.

"Elena-"

"No!" I snarled standing up and advancing on him, "I forgave you yesterday and the second that I did you went and fucked her!" Pushing my hands over and over against his chest I shoved Damon further away from my bed, away from temptation, " I will not be making that mistake again, I won't be the idiot who takes your pretty words and spreads my legs because of them."

"Elena..." He began holding up his hands in surrender but the anger had built too much and I was not going to let him get a word in edgewise.

"No Damon!" Walking over to my door I yanked it open and pointed toward the hallway, "get out and stay the hell away from me!" Damon shook his head and tried to come near me his baby blues pleading with me to listen.

"It's not what you think, Elena I lo-"

"Don't you dare!" I had had enough and he was going to know it too. Damon shook his head and reached for me once more, more quite able to understand that it was in his best interest to leave. Before I knew what I had done Damon's head was snapping to the side and my palm stung from where it had connected with his cheek. "Just get out." The last part came out pathetically, sounding like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders and honestly I was tired, emotionally and physically drained.

"Elena?" My brother's voice coming from the door way drew Damon's and my attention away from the fact that I had just slapped him and from the look on Jeremy's face you could tell that he had been standing there for quite some time. "Is this a bad time, I could come back later."

"Damon was just leaving." I didn't bother to look at Damon as I said the words, couldn't bring myself to look at him for fear of the feelings that it would draw out, stuff that I wouldn't be able to handle just yet if I did. Damon paused to look at me when he got to the door before shaking his head and walking down the hallway. Sitting down on the edge of my bed I took as big of a breath as I dared least I break down sobbing once more. I was pathetic. Jeremy looked like he was halfway to the point of wanting to kill Damon when he came and sat down next to me, his arms wrapping around my shoulders and he didn't know any of the story.

"So you wanna tell me what that was all about?" He questioned softly rubbing my shoulder. Swallowing I leaned into him and closed my eyes.

"I screwed up big time Jere." It came out sniffled sounding but once the words were out I couldn't take them back so instead I sat there and told my little brother all about Damon and everything that I had done.
