I apologize for my little Hiatus. Classes just started up for this semester and I was getting settled into that, then I got a new computer but of course Windows 7 doesnt have Microsoft Word, only Word Pad which blows chunks. Anyway, i just typed this up here so I apologize in advance for any gramatical errors. I didnt go back and really revise. This is pretty much a rough draftish chapter. Let me know if it is terrible and I will make sure to go through all the proper stepps of editing next time. But as of tonight I just wanted to get this sent your way.

Disclaimer: I own Erin and my Drawings, the rest belong to The Vampire Diaries.

Warning:SMUT

Previously: Erin and Damon went to the decade dance without the other aware, they got in a fight. Erin went back to hotel and Damon saved Bonnie. He goes back to hotel and tries to apologize to Erin, of course she accepts. They share the last dance of the night.

And Now...

The song came to an end and Erin was flushed pink from her laughter and...well, arousal. She loved dancing, as a form of fun, but with Damon it was sooo much more. She had read once in Cosmopolitan that you can tell by how a man dances if he will be good in bed. If he is free and goes with the flow, even if not the most attractive dancer, shows that he is confident in bed and can adapt to anything. If a guy is very skilled in dancing, but stiff at times, it indicates that he is very skilled with his physical movement-including sexual, but he may only be good at the few things he knows and is afraid to try something new. With this knowledge, Erin watched Damon dance and he was a free dancer, but an attractive one. He could dance formally and then free style when Good Girls Go Bad came on. That article had been right, Damon was amazing in the sack and he could change things up at the flip of a coin.

She was thinking about all of this during the last minute of the song, they were now standing there staring at each other trying to catch their breath and trying to contain their laughter.

He pulled her flat against him no longer dancing, and slid his hand up her thigh lifting the hem of her dress. He had missed her so much and now he had her all to himself.

Her knee bent slightly automatically and her breath caught in her throat. He was so gentle with her, like she was some porcelain doll. Then other times he was so fierce she had bruises the next day.

Here she was wanting him to ravish her and this was the day he wanted to be a care bear again. She decided to take the initiative to get her desire across.

She traced her finger down his chest where his shirt had been unbuttoned rather low for the dance, when her finger met the button she unfastened it with the flick of a finger and smirked up at him. "This has got to go." She continued undoing every one of them and he actually trembled beneath her touch. She smirked and walked forward urging him backwards.

When he was firmly pressed against the wall she ran her hands up the inside of his undone shirt studying every ridge and crevice of his toned front. When she stood flat footed her lips just met the crease between his pecks his chin literally barely rested on the top of her head and he had to lean down a bit for that as it was. She had read in many books and seen in even more shows and movies the act of makeup sex, and she was ready for a taste of it herself. She started kissing his chest pushing the shirt off of his shoulders he wasn't putting up a fight but he wasn't exactly fighting for dominance, which was a huge difference. She ignored it though and found his left nipple. She flicked her tongue over its already hard tip and then latched on sucking and biting earning a quiet moan from him.

He found her shoulders and somehow managed to make himself push her away. She looked up at him with a crooked face. "What are you doing?" He asked.

She stumbled back, "I'm making cookies. What the hell do you think I'm doing?"

He stepped away from the wall looking down at her, "I mean why? You were furious only hours ago. I don't want you to do this for the wrong reasons."

She couldn't believe what she had just heard. "Shut up. Just do me!" He stood there and ran a hand through his hair battling with himself. "You're not kidding..." He shook his head and held his lips tightly closed. She crossed her arms, "what are these wrong reasons?"

He cleared his throat, "the other girls...that is why you were mad at me. You don't need to prove th-"

"Shut up." She dropped her arms pissed. "Look the truth is, I missed you a thousand ways from Sunday the entire time you were gone and now I have you back. I know I was upset about the girls but I know you regret it and it didn't mean anything so I'm over it. All that matters to ME is right here, right now. I want to be with you, all of you, the sensitive you, and the maniacal you. I want to touch" she pushed his shirt further back with her finger tips "feel, smell" she inhaled deeply at his neck "and taste" she pulled his head down to hers and sucked on his lower lip for a few moments "every inch of your skin because you are mine, all mine." She looked up into his vulnerable eyes. When she noticed he was coming around she threw a curve ball, "but in case you are right about the wrong reasons I'm going to go take a shower and you are not invited. I'm kinda hungry maybe you should make us something to eat." She said casually and then headed toward the bathroom dropping off one piece of clothing after another like gingerbread crumbs dropping her panties right before she entered the bathroom turning to give Damon a mischievous smile.

Great going Idiot! He shouted in his mind. Then he looked down at his penis, "on the one day it doesn't matter you decide to grow a conscious? Fuck me." He marched into the kitchen and opened the fridge to find all the blood bags shoved in a drawer and tray after tray of desserts.
He pulled out what looked to him like Devils Food Cake, one of his favorites. He had initially been drawn to it because of its name but came to really enjoy it. He grabbed a fork and took a bite, then another. He smiled when he realized she had experimented with the blood, and it was B-negative too just like he had shown her. He also appreciated the irony of the name and the blood. It was funny to him.
He made a tray of desert and poured her a glass of blood diluting it with some vodka from the mini fridge so maybe they would have some fun tonight.

He made his way to the bedroom having heard the shower turn off a few minutes prior. The night was young and he was determined to make up for his screw up in the living room.
When he walked in he almost dropped his tray. Erin was standing in platform silver heels, and the diamond Victoria Secret set she had bought at the mall that day before he left.
The heels elongated her legs, the heart shaped panties rode her hips right where he wished he could be holding her, and the glistening bra made her boobs seem 3 times as big as normal.
She walked over to him acting as if she had on proper clothing, "ohh I'm starving!" She took the cherry off the top of one of her pudding cups and seductively bit it off. He attempted to swallow but failed, he was too distracted by her radiating beauty in front of him. Now that she was closer he could smell her shampoo, her soap, her blood and he was losing control. "Oo" she burst, "you know what I used to do as a kid?"

"Play with toys?" His mind was leaning toward the kinky kind.
She shoved him and he looked away laughing then when he looked up he saw her pull the cherry stem out of her mouth and it was knotted in two different spots. She smiled and held it up triumphantly.

"That's not fair." He groaned.

She faked innocence, "what?"

He put the tray down and walked around her tracing his fingers along her exposed skin and whispering seductively in her ear, "you come out wearing this, and then do your dirty little trick with your tongue. All the while Pretending you don't want me." He said the last part pressing himself firmly against her rear.

She felt him twitch to life against her bum and she knew he was ready but she wanted to play with him a little longer. After all he did call her kitten. She stepped away from him and put her hands on her hips, "but I don't want you."

"You dirty little liar."

She walked to where he put the tray down and picked up another cherry, "nope, I thought about what you said in the shower, and I think just to be sure.. we shouldn't do anything tonight."

He studied her to make sure she wasn't serious, "then what's with the outfit?"

"I hadn't had a chance to wear it yet and I just felt like wearing it. That a problem?"

He decided to play along. "Oh that makes perfect sense."

She smiled and turned around and sauntered away locating her new Victoria Secret lotion and propped a leg up on the dresser massaging in the lotion thoroughly. He was going to pay for his little action in the living room.

He watched her lather her smooth creamy skin and massage it all in and to keep himself from flying at her and attacking her he stuffed his face to make her think he wasn't going to chase after her. They made small talk for about 30 minutes and neither one was caving anytime soon so Erin gave up. She slipped on a robe, "well I think I am going to go see if I can watch True Blood maybe Eric and Sookie will finally do it."

He couldn't bear to see her cover herself up and then she had to talk about other vampires and watching them have sex. No this would not do, he had to prove to her that his sex would be better than anything she watched on TV.

He sped up behind her and pressed her firmly against the wall, he located her earlobe quickly and latched on moaning, this was one of her pleasure zones and he knew it.

She reached back behind her opening up all of her senses to him and pulled at his waist band begging for him to be closer to her. Knowing that she was open to it and was through with her little game he started kissing down the back of her neck and sliding the robe off of her shoulders. She moaned against the wall as the tiny goose bumbs spread themselves across her arms as he slid his fingers down them. He smiled against her neck and pressed himself firmly against her once her robe had dropped completely to the floor. She immediately started grinding against his lap wanting him to feel as much pleasure as she was, she loved him and she wanted to show him that before she had to leave.

He joined in with her movement and kissed her neck dragging his lower lip up to her jaw lightly sucking on it. He wanted to devour her just take every bit of her in, for her to take every bit of him in. By this time he could smell her arousal and she was beyond ready for him to up the game a little bit. He found her lips and claimed them as he lifted her up and made his way to the couch bending her forward, he spread her feet with his and rached down with one hand to stroke her tender nub and peek a finger inside of her to see exactly how ready she was.

She gasped at the initial contact of his fingers near her core and closed her eyes wanting to feel everything he had to offer. For all she cared they could just hold hands and she was almost certain that somehow she would reach a climax with just that. They were connected at such a deep level that it didn't take much, the sex was just a bonus in thier relationship and Erin was NOT complaining. She knew it was getting to where you couldn't put them in a room together without someone's clothes coming off, her excuse to herself for their intense physical relationship was the fact that he was Damon and she was on a time schedule and she never planned to have sex again with anyone ever again, at least she would never feel the same way in the act as she ever did with Damon.

He retrieved his hand and sucked her juices off of his finger groaning. He pulled her back and held her stomach tightly whispering into her ear, "Tell me you love me Erin, Tell me you love me after all the shit I have done, everything that I have fucked up. Tell me you love me for me I need to hear you say it." He said eyes glittering with fear and vulnerability.

She watched the insecurity dance in his eyes as he made his plea and she felt her heart break a little more, if she said this there was no going back. She would mean it of course, every letter, every sound, every syllable of it, she would mean it. But how cruel would one have to be to fill such a beautiful man with hopeful dreams of a beautiful future with the one they love and then in a matter of 6 days rip it out from under them and shout PSYCHE! It just wouldn't be fair. As she battled with herself she realized his lips were twitching and trembling she was taking far to long to reply. She cupped his face the best she could from her angel in front of him and stroked his jaw with the pad of her thumb. "What would give you the idea for a second that I don't love you? There is not one thing I don't like about you. Well except for that weird eye thing you do...you think its so sexy but you kinda look like a dork." She smiled and he feigned hurt. "That's okay though, because you are my dork." She planted a possesive kiss on him holding back her tears, how many more moments like this was she giving up in order to ensure his life? She drew out the kiss until she knew she had control over her self and then pulled back. "if I ever hear for one second you question my love ever again I will have to sake you myself." She joked.

He was drunk with happiness, he flipped her around and grabbed her face kissing her deeply never wanting to let her go. She was his and he was hers. That was all he could ever ask for, all he would ever ask for. 150 years roaming the land and he had never found anything that could make him feel half as human as she did just by being in the room. He couldn't lose her ever, and he didn't plan to. He lifted her up and rested her on the couch wedging himself between her legs and pressed her body firmly against him massaging her back with his hands claiming anything he could get his hands on.

She couldnt take it anymore, she wanted to surrender everything to him and the only way she knew to do that was to give him everything, to give him her. "Damon, take me...I'm yours." She whispered with his lips attached to her jaw sucking fiercely. She wanted him to know she belonged to him, she wanted to know she belonged to him. she needed that before she gave everything to Klaus, she needed this for herself. When the words left her lips he froze almost instantly and just locked eyes with her, he searched for any doubt but there was none. Just desire and Love, Love for him, Love that only belonged to him. He was never her second choice. He had always been her first.

He lifted her gently and carried her to the bedroom dropping his pants and boxers on his way. He laid her down gently, "I love you more than you will ever know, but I plan to spend the rest of forever trying to show you."

Her heart not only skipped a beat, but skipped multiple ones that kinda strung together like a drum in some Latin dance. She would never get this forever he spoke of but she knew he meant what he said and that was all she needed. she grabbed his face and pulled him down to her face attacking his lips. He reached between them and ripped away er panties and traced the tip of his shaft along her crease letting it graze over her core, she arched in response but he was quick enough to keep her waiting. He engaged her eyes and held both hands above her head gliding himself in slowly watching her eyes dialate and get bigger and her breathing get caught in her throat he smiled pleased and licked her exposed teeth due to her dropped jaw. She smiled and let out a chuckle now adjusted to his size once again.

He began his thrusts and they played wtih eachothers tongues and he followed her lead adjusting his thrusts to the pattterns her tongue payed against his. She clung to his wrists where he was holding her down and he adjusted to where thier hands were laced together and he could feel her clench tighter around his fingers with each wave of pleasure. He watched her bite and lick her lips causing them to swell with blood, he never wanted this moment to end.

She watched him on top of her knowing they were connected in every way. She loved seeing him like this, flexing over her straining, well not straining but using every muscle in his body watching them shift and stretch under his skin was just the most beautiful and erotic thing she had ever seen. Then you add in his eyes baring into hers and you might as well give up. There was no competeing with that. He could ask her to cut off one of her fingers to prove how much she loved him and in a moment like this it was almost certain that she would deffinitely do it. She refused to close her eyes, there was no pulling them away from his piercing stare. "Damon.." she groaned arcing her back against him wanting more friction.

He knew what she wanted immediately and released her hands moving them down to her legs and lifting one over to the other laying them on top of each other leaving her body twisted. he leaned back down and claimed her hands and her lips as he slid back in from behind her, you could say. She sucked in air from his moth and then released a shaky one. She gritted her teeth and he pulled himself back out and shoved himself in once again, she was groaning now and he couldnt hold back any longer her sped up and attacked her neck kissing it and tasting every bit of it. She panted and squealed hitting her first roll of pleasure she bounced trying to meet his thrusts but he made sure he had every bit of control.

"If there is something you want, Kitten, all you have to do is ask." He said seductively looking deeply into her eyes. not letting up on his thrusts.

She fought to open her mouth it was strained closed with pleasure, "H-H-Hhh-uhharggg"she groaned as he sped up to mess with her.

"I didnt quite get that." He teased.

"Harder!" she shouted. Before she could blink he had her legs spread and was now pinning them to the bed on either side of her as he lifted himself completely off of her and then when he knew she was in the now and aware of what had just happened he slammed into her. She yelled out in pleasure slamming her now free hands into his chest and as he slammed a second time she drug her nails down his chest. She felt a growl erupt from deep with in him as she did so. She lifted herself up to look down at what was going on and threw her head back when she saw his massive gift from god slide all the way out of her and then return its self to its rightful home-her.

He leaned forward and kissed the top of her breasts and using his fangs ripped the bra apart in the middle setting the wonderful pair free. Her chest heaved in response to the cool air greeting her nipples. "Erin, you beautiful creature. If only you knew what you do to me."

With those words she hit another roll of pleasure. He said creature, she was a Hybrid, a freak of nature, that went against everything normal, even normal for a vampire and he loved her, he thought she was beautiful. She suddenly got her power back and knowing she was really stronger than him she flipped him over and rested on top of him now holding his hands beside his hand kissing him playfully. He gave her a devilish smile and she let her hair drape around their faces creating a curtain She looked into his eyes with her own hooded ones and kept her face only centimeters away from his, their noses touching still. she slid down onto him and his arms flexed deeply wanting to regain control but he couldn't fight back against her. when she wanted control, she had it.

She bounced on top of him changing up the speed, depth, and angle as she pleased. Not only for herself but for him, she wanted to prove that as inexperienced as she was she could still bring him immense pleasure. She watched him now battle for air and grit his teeth letting out moans and groans here and there. She was almost there and he was even closer. She felt his body go tense and she dug her teeth into his collar drawing blood and with that he let out a roar and erupted. She let go of his hands and he wrapped his arms around her holding her tight dragging out the moment. He pulled her head to the side and bit into her neck and drew blood from her as she drew it from him. She stopped and licked up her mess as did he sliding off of him but remaining on top of him not wanting to lose the contact.

He held her brushing her hair with his fingertips as they both fought to even out their breathing and body temperatures to return to normal. They ended up falling asleep just like that. At about 5 am Erin woke up and smiled into his chest as she felt it rise and fall as if she weren't even there, it still amazed her how being with him made her forget all of her insecurities, for a whole 5 hours at least she had forgot that she was fat. She rolled off of him knowing he was in a deep sleep and mad her way to the bathroom with the glass of blood he had poured her and her diary.

She sat down in the tub and downed half of her glass attempting to build up her strength, she should be sleeping but she needed to get a few things off of her mind.

Dear Loyal Diary,

So something really weird just happened as I was sleeping. I had a dream about Elena, but it was so vivid. We were just sitting in her room talking, and everything that was said seemed so realistic, like you know how a dream has that hazy sound to every word and things are a little blurry and there is almost a lag in whatever is going on? Well this was nothing like that! It was so REAL! As real as I am sitting in the tub writing now. Swear! We talked about a lot of things and if any of it is true then Damon has been keeping almost as much from me as I have from him.

Lets just pretend for a moment that my dream was 100 percent accurate.

Elena made a deal with Elijah, Klaus' brother to keep everyone safe and Damon and Alraic's, when Alaric was in fact Alaric, trip revealed that a silver dagger tipped with White Ash could kill an Original. My father, Our father, up and volunteered the dagger. Didn't even know he was back... Anyway, then Damon not like being controlled rebelled and went to kill him when just in time thankfully Alaric, Still himself, intervened and killed him himself knowing that if Damon did it he would die as well...some weird witch voo doo shizz..I don't know. Out of habit they removed the Dagger for later use on Klaus when to everyone's surprise Elijah came back to his nonlife or whatever. Then of course they managed to get him again and he is now laying dead in their cellar. They now feel incredibly stupid, as they should, because now they have no weapon to use against Klaus and if they remove it from Elijah chances are he is not going to be happy.

Elena also told me all about the real Sun and the Moon curse. Elijah had told them when they were still on the same page. Of course I already knew but I knew enough in this dream of mine that I was to play dumb. Then shockingly elena cried on her shoulder about her life, that part wasnt the shocker, the shocker was that she was crying about Bonnie. She felt guilty. GUILTY! Becasue when she found out that Bonnie wasn't really dead she wished for a second she really was. She knows that Bonnie will do everything in her power to save her and that means that she will die, successful or not, she will die, and Elena can't bear to see it again. It is going to kill her. I felt bad for her for a second, but then I realized that she isnt going to have to see her friend die, I wont allow it. No. I already have my deal, I just have to find a way to keep Bonnie away.

Then she fell asleep and that was about it. That was this weird dream of mine. Could all this be true? who knows...

Also I'd like to say that after watching Caroline and Tyler tonight at the dance I hope that they can put their differences aside whenever they do discover the truth about each other and they can be happy. I can see the fire between them, they are meant to be. Who am I to say, right? Its just what i see.

I'm still worried about Jeremy when I am gone. He has no one, or will have no one. He needs to open up to Elena and build a realtionship with her because I will not be here for him and he is not one who handles being alone very well.

I wonder when exactly i will get to see Ric as Ric again and really get to see the face of the monster who held him captive for so long. Ric is my dad, John is my father, but i love Ric like a Dad, always will and it is going to kill me to leave him. He took care of me when no one else would, or could. God, just thinking about him alone is making my eyes burn. Gah!

and Lastly...

Damon.

Words cannot express how much I love him. I wont be worth much to Klaus after he makes me leave, I will be like an empty shell. I'm leaving my soul here, behind. He is the only thing that pushes me through this mess...he is my strength, my, my everything. What happens when someone loses that?

Signed,

I Wish There Was Another Way.

She finished her glass of blood and brushed her teeth. She slipped on a clean shirt and returned to bed. Damon felt her weight shift the bed this time and let our and moan reaching out for her as she returned. She curled up in his arms and he squeezed her against him spooning her breathing in her scent and quickly fell back asleep. She listened to his breathing even out and then finally she let a tear fall from her eye. To hell with the no crying shit. THis was practically the end of the world and she was losing her strength. She just let the tears fall, if she fought it her diaphragm would go into spasms which would wake up Damon and then how would she explain that.

She woke up that day around noon to Damon with a Late breakfast. "Good morning Beautiful. Breakfast for lunch? I had to remake it and start over becasue I made it at a normal hour this morning but you didnt even wake up to the smell, and might I add I was a little insulted? I take great pride in my Abilities."

She sat up. "Ohh shut up, its one of your other abilities that caused me to need so much recharging, Sir."

"Touche." he laughed.

"Okay, so whats for lunch?" She asked intrigued shaking out her hair from where it had matted with dried tears.

He sat down the massive tray triumphantly, "South West Omelets, fruit salad, cheesecake muffins, Hash browns, and sausage links. Oh and a nice steamy cup of coffee."

She stared at it wide eyed. "Damn Babe, how much do you think I eat? I can't help but be a little offended. You know my diet has changed since I started drinking blood." She eyed him carefully.

"Oh God No! I didn't mean for any of that. I just over indulged...I wanted to show off a little..." he said grinning.

"Okayyy..."She dragged taking a sip from her coffee that was at perfect temperature and she couldnt help but notice the blood he had mixed in. That was when she noticed that Damon was only wearing his pants and they were riding dangerously low. "If you don't put on some clothes I am not going to be able to enjoy this lovely meal because all I will be able to think about is..mmm." She groaned checking him out.

"Wouldn't want that now would we?" He said flicking his eyebrows up as he located a shirt and threw it n about the same time there was a knock at the suite's door. Damon leaves to answer it.

Erin takes her first bite of the omelet and it could only be described as an orgy in her mouth. It was the best thing she had ever tasted...well aside from Damon. Then she heard Ric's voice from the doorway and Damon getting defensive. She jumped up and ran to the door fully aware she was only in a shirt, she had to see for herself if it was him, she knew only she would know. When he saw her over Damon's shoulder he gasped. Damon thought it was because of her current state of dress.

"Erin..." he breathed. "It's me. You know that right?" she nodded and pushed Damon out of the way and wrapped her arms around the giant man. Damon cleared his throat and tried to regain his statte of shock. There was his girlfriend, no love, no future! wrapped around another man, a much taller man, a much broader man, a better man. His insecurities were surfacing but deep down he knew as she had said last night she belonged to him and only him.

"Well, why don't you come in Ric?" he said casually and Erin dropped to her feet wrapping her arm around his back and walking him in resting her head against his side. "So, what brings you here this morning? And when exactly did you become you again?"

he rubbed erin's shoulder like a father would and answered damon's question without hesitation. This morning they returned him to his own body and left me to mine then sent me with a message." He paused and cleared his throat. "He said he hopes the Doppelganger is ready because the Sacrifice will go as planned and he will be seeing us all very soon." he said mechanically. Erin Tightened her grip around him.

"We need to go tell the rest of the gang." Damon said grabbing his coat and getting ready to leave.

"Already did. They are actually waiting for you at the Boarding house."

Damon eyed them carefully, "Why didn't you just call then?"

"I uhh thought that maybe Erin and I could grad lunch or something. Its been awhile and I missed her. There is a lot to catch up on." he said looking down at her.

Damon nodded pressing his lips together in agreement. He kissed her goodbye and she let go of Ric to hug him back. "Don't worry about me, we will stay here and feast on that enormous lunch you made me. You do what you got to do, i'll be right here waiting for you handsome." she said brushing the hair out of his face. He whispered against her lips, 'okay love, be back soon.' and then he left and shut the door behind him.

They went on the next 4 or 5 hours making small talk and talking about everything except the time he spent possessed by Dracula. Finally he couldn't take it anymoe and he blurted out what had been on his mind since the moment he could think for himself again. "Erin, Don't Do It!"

She stopped mid sentence. She had been talking about her costume for the dance, "what?" she stared blankly.

"We can find another way."

She was clawing for an explanation to his temporary insanity then it hit her..."You remember?"

"i remember every word..." he said slowly and sadly.

"oh.." she breathed looking up at the ceiling. "Then you of all people should understand that there is No other option. My hands are tied. I'm lucky to still be here."

"I know." his head fell slack and she saw a tear fall to the comforter in front of him.

"ohh Ric, please don't cry. you will make me cry. i have made peace with this." She lied. "This way no one has to die! i will be saving so many, you know he wouldn't have given me the choice to stay, he would have taken me against my will."

"I KNOW!" he shouted looking up with red eyes. "Its just not fair! why should someone as sweet as you pay such an awful price? You are such a good person Erin and now your whole life is being stolen from you because of a bunch of vampires!"

She grabbed his jaw with one hand and locked her eyes with his. "Now you listen to me and listen to me good. Since when is life fair? Huh? Also, you are not allowed to feel my pain, it is mine, I own it. Don't you think that I know how much this sucks? But listen to me! Do not blame this on the Vampires. If I never met Damon I would not be this person you see in front of you, he brought me to life, he gave me the strength to do what i am going to do. I would not change anything, I wouldn't wish my life any other way. If I did then Elena would still be the Doppelganger and I wouldn't be able to keep Klaus from draining her and killing her, along with killing multiple others. I wouldn't have been able to save Bonnie at the dance. And most of all?" she loosened her grip, "I wouldn't have met so many wonderful people, I wouldn't have friends, real friends, and a family! Please understand that it is because i love you all so much that I am doing this. I need you to understand." She pleaded tearing up.

He reached up his hand to hers and squeezed it tightly, "I can't lose you Erin." she went to speak to plead her case one more time. "no listen to me. You saved me. When you showed up at my doorstep I was just an old bitter man looking for revenge on the Vampire who killed my wife, I was going no where. Then you come in and you lit up my hazy skies like rays born of the sun. You proved to me that there was still good in this world worth protecting and if you are gone and I can't save you then i failed...I can't have that. I can't lose you." He started crying for real as did she and she fell into his arms. "Just promise me you will fight."

She laid against his chest chocking back the sobs. He had just confessed his love to her and it was only going to make it harder to let him go. She stayed silent and eventually they ended up laying down holding each other and they fell asleep.

Damon came home that night after a long day of the usual conversations at the boarding house these days 'hey how are ya? How we gunna save Elena?' He entered the bed room thinking they were awake because the light was on when he saw the light on but stopped in his tracks when he saw them passed out on the bed. He rolled his eyes and turned the light off making his way around the bed to the side Erin was on. He saw the evidence of tears in both her's and Ric's lashes and just assumed that it was due to the stressful conditions he must have experienced being Klaus' own puppet. He slid in behind Erin and curled up against her back resting his hand on her hip sure to keep his and Ric's bodies from coming into contact.

Erin woke up to his touch and smiled, everything was rainbows and butterflies now that he was with her. She thought about what Ric had said before they drifted off to sleep. Fight, he wanted her to promise to fight. She thought long and hard and had some shadow of a plan. Then after she knew Damon was asleep she looked up at Ric and whispered "I Promise." she thought he was asleep but she felt him let out a sigh of relief and then a gentle smile spread across his face. She smiled and buried her face in his chest inhaling his rustic manly smell drawing an end to day 6.

Hope you enjoyed it.

I may not get to write out full chapters here but i do spend a lot of time recently on Tumblr, if you want to follow me or check it out ill have the link in my profile. I have found some of the cutest Delena/Nian blogs. Gives me my daily dose of TVD.

Can you believe there is only 11 more days until the season premere? AHH! Be careful and dont read any of the synopsis' out there. I know episode 1 and 2 are out there but i personally made the mistake of reading the first 1 and I regret it, I fell like ive ruined the premiere...ya know?

Enough from me.
