Kill or Be Killed

Elaine woke up to someone kissing her neck. "Damon," she groaned and turned around to kiss Damon.

He maneuvered himself so he can hover above Elaine. He moved his lips down to Elaine's neck but Elaine held out her hand to stop him.

"Nu-uh…Uh." She shook her head. "I have to be at the Founder's picnic today. I still have to get some new clothes."

"Why go when we can lie down on bed all day doing this." He kissed Elaine's bare stomach making her giggle.

"Okay…Damon…Seriously…Stop." She said in between giggles.

Damon pouted but got off her. She put on her clothes with Damon watching. Once she was done they bounded down the stairs and outside. That's when Elaine realized that she doesn't have a car. She groaned.

Damon moved behind her and murmured to her ear. "What's up sweetie?"

"My car's at home. Can you vampire speed me there before you go to the picnic?"

Damon nodded and did as she says. He set her down to her feet.

"Thanks sweetheart," she muttered. She gave Damon a chaste kiss on the lips. "I'll meet you there," she murmured against his lips and went inside her house.

Elaine parked her car her car and headed straight to where main event is happening. She saw Damon and Mason talking.

Not Good.

She hurried over to catch Mason's last sentence.

"Well nice is overrated." He said.

Elaine walked over to stand next to Damon. "Yeah but sometimes nice can be fun," she smiled. "I see we meet again, Mason."

Mason smirked. "Yeah, Ms. Blunt, Gorgeous and Hot girl."

"Oww…You're making me blush." She faked doing the shy act.

Damon growled low in his throat. "Good bye Mason," he said.

"Have a good day Damon, Elaine," he said before walking away.

Damon put an arm around Elaine's waist. He kissed her head. "Why are you late?"

"I fell asleep while bathing." She pouted at him. "You should have been there to wake me up."

Damon smirked. "I will next time."

"Tell me you were just bonding." Stefan said from behind.

Damon smirked. He faced Stefan while his hand still rested on Elaine's waist. Stefan eyed the gesture but didn't say anything. "So what's up with this faux drama in your relationship?"

Elaine narrowed her eyes at him. "You and Elena are fighting. I didn't even notice."

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh come on, Stefan. You and Elena don't fight..." Damon started.

"Just drop it, Damon." He said with finality in his tone.

"With pleasure." Damon smirked. "Besides I'd rather talk about that nice bath my girl is planning," Damon said looking at Elaine.

Stefan narrowed her eyes and went to say something but a little girl carrying two glasses of lemonade came.

"Would you like some lemonade?" She said offering them to Damon and Elaine.

Elaine took one while Damon took the other. "Thank you, sweetie." She patted the girls head before she walked away.

Elaine took a sip of the Lemonade and caught the familiar taste of her most hated herbal plant, Vervain. She coughed trying to get the taste out. From the corner she saw Damon coughing, too.

Stefan furrowed his eyes when he saw the two coughing. He led them to sit on a bench in front of a table. "What's wrong?"

"Ver…Vain." Damon rasped.

Elaine continued coughing. She couldn't get the taste out.

Stefan's brow furrowed in confusion. If it were vervain, why did it affect Elaine? He quickly snatched two bottles of water from the stand and handed it to them. They both went to the foyer and gurgles the water that Stefan handed.

Elaine grimaced when she can still taste the vervain. "I can still taste it." She made gagging noises.

"Why did vervain even affect you? You're human?" Stefan asked.

Elaine just gave him a look. "It didn't affect me Stefan. I just can't stand the taste of vervain. It makes me squeamish."

Damon then growled. "I'm going to kill him."

"No one pisses me off," Elaine growled.

They went to walk away but Stefan held them down. He tried to make them sit but they continued growling. "Sit! Sit!"

They finally sat and glared at Stefan. He sighed. It was like having two Damons with Elaine here.

"I'm not listening to anymore of this 'give peace a chance' crap you two are talking about! He's dead," Damon hissed.

"In a heartbeat," Elaine added.

Stefan looked around. "Alright, I don't like it but he's making threats. We need to put him down."

"Alright. Let's do it," he agreed.

Elaine then spotted Mason going to do the woods. "Woods. Trash duty."

They followed him into the woods and cornered him. Mason looked around for an escape route but there wasn't any. Mason turned his eyes at Elaine. "So you're a vampire."

Instead of answering Elaine smiled sadistically. "Nobody pisses me off. I explode when somebody does that," she growled.

"Don't look so surprised. You know this was inevitable. Go ahead, run. I'll give you a head start."

Mason then ducked. Elaine felt an agonizing pain hit her stomach. She clutched it and saw blood in her hands. Another was fired and it went to her shoulder. She gasped and fell to the ground. Before she lost consciousness she saw Damon and Stefan falling to the ground to.

Liz injected them with vervain. She looked at Elaine and couldn't believe that she was a vampire. She loves the girl but she needs to be stopped.

A gun shot was fired and a groan of pain was heard. Elaine woke up because of that.

"How do you walk in the sun?" she heard Liz ask.

"Aunt Liz…Stop this," she whispered. She was in too much pain to do something.

Liz gave Elaine a look and shot Damon in the leg. "How do you fool us? How do you walk in the sun?" she asked him.

When Damon didn't answer she shot Elaine who screamed in pain. That made Damon worried. He looked at Liz frantically.

"I will drag this out painfully."

"You're my friend and she's not even a vampire," Damon countered.

"Yeah…and Aunt Liz you took care of me," Elaine whimpered.

"She's a vampire. I saw her reaction to Vervain and our friendship was a lie." She said to Damon. She then turned to Elaine. "Answer me and I'll kill you fast," she demanded.

Elaine just let out a whimper of pain. Liz shot her again which caused her to block out. She opened her eyes again when two deputies dropped dead and Caroline stepped out of the shadows.

Damon quickly removed all the bullets in his body and went over to Elaine who was groaning in pain. He bit his wrist. He pressed her bloodied wrist on to her mouth. Elaine wasn't swallowing and Damon started to panic. He lightly massaged her throat so the blood can ease through quickly. When he saw that her consciousness was slowly returning he pulled out his wrist. He then looked down to see that the wooden bullets from earlier was still in her body preventing her from healing.

"Elaine…" he cooed.

She whimpered as an answer.

"I'm going to take out the bullets. This is going to hurt but bear it okay," he whispered.

Elaine nodded, too tired to argue.

Damon dug his fingers on to the wound that was on her shoulder. Elaine screamed in pain. He quickly took the bullet out and watched as the wound knitted itself.

Elaine whimpered again.

"Shhh…It's okay. Two more to go," he cooed.

Caroline's eyes widened when she saw that Damon was being gentle with Elaine. Damon wasn't capable of that. He wasn't gentle with her. What was it that was with Elaine that made him so?

The next few minutes was filled with Elaine's agonizing screams. Finally the last bullet was pulled out. Damon laid her down to rest while he went to the deputies to drink some blood.

Elaine stood up to her feet as Damon finished 'eating'. He looked at her incredulously.

"Sit! You just got shot." She shook her head but Damon gave her a stern look that made her sit down.

"You need to drink some deputy blood," he said to Stefan.

"No. I'm fine. It's just gonna take a little bit longer..."

"Damon's right. You know, if there's ever a time to break your diet-" Caroline piped in but was cut off.

"He said he didn't want it, okay?" Elena said sternly.

Damon then stood up and walked over Liz. "This is a most unfortunate situation, two deputies dead and you." He looked at Liz. "What am I going to do with you?"

"You won't tell anyone, will you?" Caroline asked her. Liz just gave her daughter a look. "Mom? Mom? Please. Look, I know that we don't get along and that you hate me but I'm your daughter and you'll do this for me, right? Mom, please. He will kill you."

"Then kill me."

"No!" Caroline's shout echoed through the entire cave.

"I can't take this. Kill me now."

"But you were going to drag it out so painfully." He took Liz by the arms.

"No!"

"Damon, don't," Stefan shouted.

"Relax, guys," Elaine commented, completely relaxed. "He isn't killing anybody."

Damon grinned at her. "Yes." He then looked at Liz. "You're my friend. But we gotta clean this up."

Elaine sat on the tub of her bathroom relaxing after a long day of excruciating pain. She couldn't believe that Aunt Liz would try to kill her. Well it's not like she can die from those shots but still it's the thought that counts. She looked up at her as a mother figure and she does that. She groaned. Things are going downhill.

"What's on your mind?" a familiar voice said.

She slightly clutched her heart from the shock. She playfully slapped Damon's arm. "You're going to give me a heart attack," she sighed. She looked up at Damon with those somber blue eyes of hers. "I'm just thinking how Aunt Liz tried to kill me. I look up at her as a mother figure, you know?"

Damon gathered her in his arms for a moment; feeling all the frustration that splashed along them. He really thought that he was going to lose her. Somehow he can't handle the thought of losing her. She's the first one that truly understood him; that didn't try to change him.

Damon then looked down at her from his seat at the edge of the tub. He smirked. "I believe you owe me a bath."

Elaine smirked equally. "Why come on in Mr. Salvatore," she offered.

Damon stripped himself of his clothes and joined her in the tub. Elaine snuggled close to him feeling all his warmth. At least she has Damon.
