DPOV

"Damon? Where are we?" Asked Elena with a sleepy voice and raised her head from the couch. She scrunched her face , when the light hit her face and put her hand over her eyes." Damon? Where is Stephan? Damon, do you hear me?...Damon, Damon?" Oh God! Can you ask a few more questions, honey? I rolled my eyes and turned around to look at her. I leaned on the wall next to the window and tilted my head to one side. My face scrunched in disgust just at the sight of her. I couldn't stand looking at her, not after I found out what she did.

Turns out that both the poison and the linking spell require some of the doppelganger`s blood. And who is our little, lying, manipulative but only alive ( for now) doppelganger? Oh yes, you guessed right! Elena. And I assume that she didn't have anything against the fact that by giving some of her blood to Mommy the witch, she is sentencing my girlfriend to long and painful death.

"Damon?" She asked again and stood up, stepping closer to me. " Where is Stephan?" I pursed my, lips.

"Somewhere safe." I answered with a calm voice.

"And where am I?"

" Somewhere not so safe." I answered and suppressed my smile at the look of her scared/angry/confused/stupid face. I made a gesture for her to sit down and went to the table to take my glass of whiskey. I went to the window, turned my back at the thing, sitting on the couch and tried to ignore her never stopping questions.

I leaned my forehead on the cool glass of the window. And started thinking whether I was doing the right thing. So you see, after I left my house, telling Bella that I`ll take Stephan and Elena to a safe place, I decided to take things in my hands. I knew what Bella`s and Lucy`s plan was- finding the cure for Lucy then letting Bella die along with Klaus and after that relying on some stupid spell to bring Bella back. The problem was that I didn't trust that stupid ex-witch, who, by the way, had already betrayed Bella once. Why not do it twice?

I`ve loved before but this was different. Bella was my mate, I couldn't even stand the thought of her getting hurt. What were we going to do if Lucy bailed on us? What was I supposed to do? Let the love of my life die? No, no, if you think so than you don't know me...at all. I was going to do everything to safe her, everything.

"Damon? " Elena's voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Yes?" I asked, imitating her high and annoyingly sweet voice. I turned around. She was sitting on the edge of the couch, biting her lips. She looked at me with her big brown eyes, I used to love so much. Now this love was replaced with my deep hatred.

"Why are you mad at me?" And you ask, honey! I pursed my lips and tilted my head, my lips forming a sarcastic smile.

"Gee, let me think! Maybe because you betrayed my trust or because you went behind my back and did God knows what. Or...or...oh yeah, I know, because you are the reason why my girlfriend is DYING!" I yelled and threw my glass just above her head. She shielded her head with her hands and looked at me calmly. Not only that she wasn't regretting it, she was enjoying it. This made me so furious that I punched the window next to me, it broke with a loud noise and pieces of glass flew all around the room. I closed my eyes for a few seconds, trying to compose myself. I couldn't kill her, it would have broken the deal and I couldn't afford it. I opened my eyes to find her standing right in front of me.

" Don't be mad at me, Damon, I did what I had to do. I`m sure you would have done the same thing to safe the ones you love." She said and raised her chin up. I know that I once said that Elena was nothing like Katherine but I take it back. The resemblance between them was never as stunning as right now.

" You have no idea what I`m able to do to save the person I love." I hissed and she pursed her lips. She was just about to say something, when my phone rang. " You are just like her. Not only from the outside but from the inside as well." I said with disgust and she looked down at her hands. I took my phone out of my pocket. Oh great, he found his phone.

"Hello brother." I said. Elena raised her head and opened her eyes widely. She practically ran to me and reached out her hand, as if she was expecting me to give her the phone. Yeah, as if I was going to do that. Weren't you listening to me, honey- I'm not your biggest fan right now. " What can I help you with?" I asked with a calm voice and quickly removed the phone from my ear as Stephan started yelling on the other side of the line.

"Where am I, Damon? And where is Elena? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Should have taken his phone. I wanted to be nice and give him some sort of a way to communicate but...Note to Damon from the future, when you lock your brother, take his phone away. Of course, I had made a few changes on his phone settings so now he could only call me but still it was kind of annoying to hear his screams of anger. I was already bored.

" You are in a safe place and your girlfriend is here with me..." I stopped talking, when I saw how Elena was preparing to scream or something. I quickly put my hand over her mouth."... but unfortunately she can't speak right now. "

" Damon, what the hell are you doing? First, someone fucking stabs me and Elena and then when we wake up you vervain me and drag me to...what the hell is this place?" Oh, the big bad Stephan is cursing! How scary!

" Look, Brother, you needed some protection so I took you to a safe place. Elena is also relatively safe so don't worry. Enjoy your little vacation. Oh, and by the way, there's some Bambi blood in the drawer. Ok, gotta go. Bye." I quickly said and hung up before another one of his little moral speeches on the widely popular topic- 'Why shouldn't we lock our brothers in a basement.' and maybe if we were lucky on 'Why shouldn't we lock our brothers in a basement and take their lying and manipulative girlfriends to a relatively safe place.'

I let go of Elena, who looked at me murderously.

" Where is Stephan? I swear to God that if you did something to him..."

" You would do what? Poison my girlfriend? Oh, newsflash-you already did. So please shut up and sit down."

"What are you going to do to me." She asked with no trace of fear. She was braver than I thought.

"Nothing bad, I promise." I said with a smirk. And it really wasn't going to be bad. It was going to be terrible. I was just looking at her with a big smirk on my face, when someone rang the doorbell. I knew exactly who that someone was. I flashed myself in front of the door. Elena quickly went next to me, probably hoping that it will be Stephan but...

Speak of the Devil and the Devil shall appear.

"Hello, mate. I`m sorry I`m late."

Ok guys. I hope you liked it.

Please leave a review to tell me what you want to happened in the next chapters. Do you want me to kill Klaus or do you want me to save him and Bella?
